Chapter 1428: Chapter 1455: When luck arrives, you'll find it soon. Chapter 1428: Chapter 1455: When luck arrives, you'll find it soon. Divine Demon Ruins, this place is none other than the Divine Demon Ruins.
Yang Zhen was about to enter the Divine Demon Ruins.
Excitement written all over their faces, Granny and the others kept their eyes shining intensely as they watched Yang Zhen and his group.
The Divine Demon Ruins had existed here for many years, and plenty of unbelievers had ventured into them, yet those who went in never came out again.
Over time, it had become akin to forbidden ground, where nobody dared to tread lightly.
Even the Su Emperor Palace, that had guarded this place all year round, was clueless about what lay inside!
Seeing that Yang Zhen was able to drive back that poisonous miasma, even Granny and the others felt an urge to follow him inside.
But in the end, Granny and the others restrained themselves; entering was easy, but who knew if there was just that kind of poison miasma or if other dangers lurked inside. The Su Emperor Palace couldn't afford the cost of such risks.
The Su Emperor Palace's Female Emperor approached Granny and spoke softly, “Granny, the revival of Su Emperor is imminent, and the Su Emperor Palace cannot afford any accidents now. Emperor Aotian has ceased the refinement of Heaven and Earth Qi, which is a boon for the Su Emperor Palace. You all had better guard the Su Emperor well to prevent unexpected complications.”
Granny was well aware this was the best course of action and quickly nodded, saying, “Please be careful, Your Majesty. Once inside, do not stray too far from Yang Xiaozi.”
The Su Emperor Palace's Female Emperor's face slightly reddened and she nodded, agreeing to the advice.
Granny pulled the Su Emperor Palace's Female Emperor to the side and whispered, “In all these years, I have never misjudged anyone, the only exception was Yang Xiaozi. Now it seems that Yang Xiaozi is indeed a favored genius of the heavens. Do not take my words lightly. If there's danger once inside and you happen to be separated, it could mean life-threatening peril. I believe, even if something unexpected arises, you should choose to follow Yang Zhen. It might be more reliable than following Emperor Aotian.”
The Su Emperor Palace's Female Emperor: “…”
Alright, Granny was indeed accurate in judging people, but this time there really was no need to; even Emperor Aotian himself was following Yang Zhen inside. If any danger arose, there was no need for the Su Emperor Palace's Female Emperor to choose–Emperor Aotian would stick close to Yang Zhen, impossible to shove away.
Yang Zhen's foot had already stepped into that unremarkable pit, and Emperor Aotian hurriedly followed.
The Su Emperor Palace's Female Emperor chuckled to herself, as expected!
In fact, Yang Zhen himself wasn't sure what exactly was inside the Divine Demon Ruins; he just knew that the Ancient Origin Water was there, and that was enough.
Once he stepped in, he felt as though he had entered water; a terrifying pressure surged from all directions, rapidly engulfing Yang Zhen fully.
The force was not extremely strong, but it was irresistible; it's like the reason people who can swim still drown–it operates on the same principle.
Following that, Yang Zhen stumbled and regained his senses.
He found himself in a vast sphere of Heaven and Earth, shrouded in dark grey tones, with the sky cloaked in murky haze, as if predicting the end of the world.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath and almost tumbled.
“How rich the Heaven and Earth Qi is!”
Emperor Aotian's face revealed a look of shock as he murmured to himself, “Such terrifying Heaven and Earth Qi, at least twice as abundant as in the main realm.”
Being a girl, the Su Emperor Palace's Female Emperor appeared much calmer upon entering; after reaching Yang Zhen's side, she asked, “Is this the Divine Demon Ruins?”
The sky was round and the earth square; amidst endless mountains, their flowing streams subtly aligned with the Heavenly Dao. It would be a picturesque place of comfort for the heart and delight for the soul if not for the overwhelming gloom.
Upon hearing the Su Emperor Palace's Female Emperor's question, Yang Zhen chuckled and replied, “This should indeed be the legendary Divine Demon Ruins. There seems to be no visible danger, let's go look for that something.”
Saying this, Yang Zhen took the lead and headed towards the mountainous world.
The Su Emperor Palace's Female Emperor hastily called out to Yang Zhen, asking, “Do you know where the Ancient Origin Water is?”
Yang Zhen was startled; he had no idea.
What exactly was the Ancient Origin Water? He didn't know, they could only take things one step at a time.
Emperor Aotian burst into laughter beside him and said, “I really don't know where you get such courage, Yang Xiaozi, rushing in without even knowing what the Ancient Origin Water is. Youth is to be feared, truly to be feared.”
A hint of embarrassment flickered across the face of the female emperor of Su Emperor Palace as she came over to Yang Zhen and said, “I don't know what exactly Ancient Origin Water is either, but I know it can mend flesh and resurrect the dead, making it one of the rarest Heaven and Earth Treasures. Just judging by its miraculous effects, it must be hard to find.”
Yang Zhen scratched his head and said, “This is a bit troublesome.”
Emperor Aotian's face showed a smug look as he squinted at Yang Zhen with an air of 'beg me, and I'll tell you'.
The female emperor's eyes lit up, and she asked respectfully, “Does the emperor know where the Ancient Origin Water can be found?”
With a snort, Emperor Aotian put on a regal air, gazing at Yang Zhen with amusement.
Seeing Emperor Aotian's demeanor made the female emperor of Su Emperor Palace chuckle involuntarily.
To think that such a mighty emperor could act with such childlike petulance, Yang Zhen really should just ask and find out what the Ancient Origin Water was. And yet, he seemingly chose to ignore it.
The female emperor nudged Yang Zhen's arm, intending to urge him to ask, but, to her surprise, Yang Zhen's eyes sparkled as he said, “I have an idea!”
“What… what idea?” the female emperor of Su Emperor Palace was taken aback.
A strange expression crossed Emperor Aotian's face as he laughed heartily and said to Yang Zhen, “Kid, you don't even know what Ancient Origin Water is, and the Heaven and Earth are vast, how will you search? By the time you find it, the person you want to save will have long since passed away.”
Hearing this, the female emperor of Su Emperor Palace became anxious.
But Yang Zhen just curled his lip and said, “It won't take too long. In our village, many people use this method, and you know, if luck is on our side, we'll find it quite quickly.”
“Luck is on our side?”
For some reason, the female emperor suddenly had a bad feeling.
Under the bewildered gaze of Emperor Aotian and the female emperor of Su Emperor Palace, Yang Zhen snapped off a branch from a nearby tree, muttered under his breath, and then suddenly threw it into the sky.
Thwack!
The branch landed on the ground, its pointy end directed straight ahead of the trio.
Yang Zhen strode forward with his head held high, picking up the branch from the ground as if it were a treasured artifact.
Both the female emperor and Emperor Aotian almost stumbled and fell to the ground in disbelief.
Especially Emperor Aotian, who sat on the ground, unable to stop laughing, slapping the ground so hard it seemed to shake.
“I'm dying of laughter here, kid! Is this the method you've come up with?”
The female emperor also had a look of helplessness on her face.
Sometimes Yang Zhen's antics were just so absurdly amusing.
Watching Yang Zhen walk on solemnly, Emperor Aotian finally stopped laughing, stood up, dusted off his clothes, and said to the female emperor, “Come on, let's follow and see. I want to see where this method of his will take us.”
The female emperor of Su Emperor Palace rolled her eyes at Emperor Aotian.
It was one thing for Yang Zhen to act so nonsensically, but why on earth was the mighty Emperor Aotian going along with it?
This place was so dangerous, what if they encountered peril?
But then it struck the female emperor — standing before her was a son of the Heaven and Earth Qi and the currently mightiest warrior between heaven and earth; if they weren't afraid, what was there for her to fear?
She had to follow them.
Though she maintained the dignified air of an empress on most days, inside she felt a touch of excitement for something thrilling.
