Chapter 1373: Chapter 1400: All Heaven Forbidden Array, Yang Zhen Backs Down? Chapter 1373: Chapter 1400: All Heaven Forbidden Array, Yang Zhen Backs Down? Inside the Void Heavenly Palace, an air of dust-covered antiquity hung everywhere, a testament to years, perhaps centuries, with no visitors.
The place glowed with a dim luminescence, and almost every corner was etched with a variety of Heaven and Earth Rune Patterns.
Yang Zhen found some familiar, others not, but they were all there.
Dozens of massive pillars were covered in countless Heaven and Earth True Patterns, and what alarmed Yang Zhen was that the method of carving these patterns closely resembled his own.
Could he have come here before?
No, he certainly hadn't.
Putting aside the fact that the Void Heavenly Palace had always been buried on the peak of West Origin Mountain, a place Yang Zhen had never visited, even if he had been here before and had filled these pillars with Heaven and Earth True Patterns, with his memory, it would be impossible to forget.
Could some powerful entity have erased his memory while the Sao Saint slept?
That was even less likely.
With Yang Zhen's talent, how could a powerful being approach him without him noticing?
Whether he could beat them was one issue, but sensing them was another entirely.
Standing there in a fog of confusion, Yang Zhen's face was plastered with question marks.
Before long, the interior of the Void Heavenly Palace began to rumble deeply, clearly indicating that quite a few people had entered.
Yang Zhen hurriedly moved deeper inside, cursing to himself–having come in early was hard enough, but to let others steal the limelight would be too embarrassing.
As he walked, that sense of deja vu grew stronger within him, like that sly cat's frequent sensation of having experienced everything yet being unable to recall anything.
Soon, Yang Zhen arrived inside a grand hall.
And the hall was truly grand; looking up, Yang Zhen saw its dome soared hundreds of feet high, and he wondered how the architects of the time managed to construct such a magnificent edifice.
The hall was filled with an untamed aura that made it difficult to breathe. Although it was a manmade palace, it radiated a divine presence as if the laws of nature were greatly amplified here.
That was kind of scary.
Yang Zhen, with a puzzled look on his face, walked toward a circular structure inside the grand hall. This circular structure was made of a material known as Sky Heart Stone, used for one purpose only–to seal Spirit Treasures.
The more powerful the Spirit Treasure, the more likely it possessed its own spirit. This was also why the Barbarian Treasures of the world often remained unknown; they could run away!
Seeing the circular structure of Sky Heart Stone, Yang Zhen got excited, his face lighting up with joy.
Damn, the presence of this thing could surely spark a legendary war, as it likely sealed the Barbarian Treasure, the Void Sky Seal.
Just as Yang Zhen approached the Sky Heart Stone, a cold snort sounded: “Boy, if I were you, I wouldn't touch the Sky Heart Stone!”
Yang Zhen's face showed a flicker of resignation as he turned around and saw the Demon Emperor. He shrugged and said, “If I were you, I wouldn't be saying such childish things.”
Beside the Demon Emperor stood Moonwatch Elder, his presence a restraint. Yet the Demon Emperor spoke so arrogantly, Yang Zhen wondered how he had managed to cultivate to his level.
Moonwatch Elder laughed heartily and said, “Kid, don't listen to this old fogey. Just go ahead and touch it, touch it now. It would be hilarious if you could piss him off.”
Hearing Moonwatch Elder's words, the Demon Emperor's expression turned cold, and after giving Moonwatch Elder a look, he forcefully calmed himself and expressionlessly said to Yang Zhen, “Fine, go ahead and touch it, take a careful look. I'll be right here watching. Inside the Sky Heart Stone is an All Heaven Forbidden Array, something from the Demon Domain. I'm curious to see if you really are omnipotent and can just open this Forbidden Array with a flick of your finger.”
All Heaven Forbidden Array?
Hearing this, Moonwatch Elder's expression turned serious. He stepped forward and whispered, “Kid, it seems you really shouldn't touch it thoughtlessly.”
Yang Zhen too felt a chilling aura emanating from within the Sky Heart Stone.
How could such a seal exist without prohibitions?
Upon hearing the term “All Heaven Forbidden Array,” Yang Zhen's face revealed a somewhat odd expression. He glanced behind the two Emperor Realm Experts and spotted a sneaky figure, saying, “Stop hiding, come out now. What exactly is this 'All Heaven Forbidden Array' supposed to be?”
Just as the cheap cat had hidden behind a statue, with half its backside showing, it stiffened at the words and walked out, grinning and greeting the two Emperor Realm Experts.
“Hello there.”
Moonwatch Elder and the Demon Emperor showed a solemn look on their faces as they stared at the cheap cat and exchanged glances.
The Demon Emperor's face was a mix of surprise and uncertainty as he asked the cheap cat, “What exactly are you?”
Hearing this, the cheap cat was instantly annoyed, pointed at the Demon Emperor's nose, and said, “With the temper I had before, if you spoke to me like that, you would have been dead countless times over by now.”
The Demon Emperor roared with laughter, not taking offense, and looked at the cheap cat with interest, saying, “A little cat that calls itself 'this sovereign,' are you a Heavenly Master or a Saintly Master?”
Heavenly Master or Saintly Master?
Yang Zhen's face suddenly took on a baffled expression.
Yeah, what rank is the cheap cat really, always referring to itself as 'this sovereign'?
If it's a Heavenly Master, not to mention slapping a Demon Emperor to death, even slapping a Mahayana Phase expert to death would be unbelievably impressive.
Below the Mahayana Phase, Celestial Being Realm Heavenly Masters shouldn't harbor such impractical thoughts like the cheap cat.
It wouldn't work for a Saintly Master either; even a Saintly Master couldn't slap an Emperor Realm Expert to death.
It was only at this moment that Yang Zhen suddenly realized that he still hadn't figured out the cheap cat's previous strength, nor why it had changed into its current form.
The cheap cat obviously hadn't thought about these problems and instead took a few steps forward, approaching Yang Zhen. Looking at the Sky Heart Stone beside Yang Zhen, it said, “The All Heaven Forbidden Array is a type of natural restriction that can conceal the aura of any living being, avoid heavenly punishment, and is generally something that celestial beings use to escape the cycle of Heavenly Dao after becoming emperors. Clearly, it's not likely to be found here.”
Yang Zhen was taken aback upon hearing the cheap cat's explanation.
The vast universe really had everything; after becoming a saint, celestial beings could use such a thing to avoid heavenly punishment?
It obviously couldn't exist in the main world, otherwise wouldn't it be teeming with all kinds of demons and spirits?
“So you're saying, what's inside isn't an All Heaven Forbidden Array?” Yang Zhen blinked and asked.
The cheap cat confirmed, “No one can control an All Heaven Forbidden Array. Even those crafty and powerful spirits merely make use of it, not control it.”
With these words, Yang Zhen was suddenly relieved.
But looking at the Demon Emperor's expression, he grew a bit suspicious again.
“Damn it, is there really no one who can control this thing?” Yang Zhen asked curiously, “What dangers could it have?”
By now, quite a few people had entered the Void Heavenly Palace, all gathering outside the radius of the two Emperor Realm Experts.
The cheap cat's eyes widened as it said, “Kid, you don't believe what this sovereign says? How could anyone control something like the All Heaven Forbidden Array? If a human practitioner could control such an existence, wouldn't that mean they'd have no fear of even the laws and order of heaven and earth?”
Hearing this, Yang Zhen realized that was indeed the logic, just about to nod when the cheap cat added, “As for the dangers, if you don't know how to make use of it and touch it carelessly, you'll suffer the most terrifying heavenly punishment. Mmm… go on up, kid, this sovereign thinks you can withstand it.”
Hearing this, Yang Zhen's hand, which was about to touch it, immediately retracted.
“Kid, don't chicken out, this sovereign supports you spiritually!” the cheap cat egged him on from the side.
The Demon Emperor laughed heartily, looking at Yang Zhen with disdain, and slowly walked towards him.
“What's this old coot so smug about?” Yang Zhen asked, dumbfounded.
“Maybe…” the cheap cat was even more hesitant, “he knows how to use the All Heaven Forbidden Array?”
Damn it, if that's the case, wouldn't that be troubled?
