Chapter 1429: Chapter 1456: How on Earth Did You Do It? Chapter 1429: Chapter 1456: How on Earth Did You Do It? Many strong-willed women who maintain a cold and dignified facade secretly yearn for a passion so intense it could drive one mad.
Frustratingly, everything Yang Zhen did had a knack for inciting such madness.
Watching Yang Zhen walk, mumbling to himself while tossing tree branches, and looking at Emperor Aotian with his arms akimbo, enjoying the show, the Empress of Su Emperor Palace felt a deep desire within.
She longed for Yang Zhen's ludicrous method to create another miracle, and to see him mockingly grin at Emperor Aotian upon his success.
Yes, just like that, once Yang Zhen succeeded, his smug face would surely beg for a slap.
And yet, it was this very slappable quality that heightened the anticipation, leaving the Empress of Su Emperor Palace feeling almost tingling with excitement.
“Kid, although I'd love to see you keep up the act, evidently, you're just walking in circles.”
Emperor Aotian wore a mocking expression, teasing Yang Zhen.
The Empress of Su Emperor Palace was taken aback. Could Yang Zhen's ridiculous method really not work?
The world was vast and gray, with no end in sight. They had already entered deep into the mountains, and indeed, Yang Zhen was going around in circles.
Even the Empress of Su Emperor Palace realized they had been to this place before.
“Yang Zhen, could it be that this method isn't effective?”
With a worried look on her face, the Empress considered that if this method failed, Yang Zhen would have to ask for Emperor Aotian's help, wouldn't he?
Clearly, Emperor Aotian thought the same.
He knew what Ancient Origin Water was and where it was most likely to be found.
With Emperor Aotian's power, finding Ancient Origin Water in the vast mountains, while not easy, would be far more reliable than Yang Zhen's aimless tree branch flinging.
Seeing the 'I'm waiting for your plea' look on Emperor Aotian's face, Yang Zhen suddenly stopped.
Then, he flung the branch in his hand high into the air.
“Supreme Elder, hasten as your decree commands, help this Sao Saint find it!”
Buzz–!
Yang Zhen threw it too high, and the tree branch turned into an arrow piercing the clouds, shooting upwards and disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Aotian burst into laughter, shaking his head. “Seems like you haven't given up hope yet.”
Just then, a harsh sound echoed as the branch Yang Zhen tossed into the sky rapidly fell back to the original spot.
All three eyes followed the descending branch, quickly moving downward.
Plop!
The branch stuck into a stone at Yang Zhen's feet.
A huge tail wobbled in front of them.
Emperor Aotian wore a dumbstruck expression and pointed to the branch, “Does this mean that the Ancient Origin Water is underground?”
Yang Zhen cursed under his breath and, with an “ow,” exclaimed, “No wonder we couldn't find it; it's underground!”
Saying this, Yang Zhen took out his Star Spring Sword and began to dig at the ground.
Emperor Aotian's expression changed upon seeing the Star Spring Sword, and with a complicated look at Yang Zhen, he scoffed, “Kid, don't waste your energy. Ancient Origin Water is of the heavenly water element, and the least likely place for it to appear is underground.”
Hearing this, the Empress's face fell, and she looked worriedly at Yang Zhen.
Although she didn't mind spending more time with Yang Zhen in the ruins of gods and demons, it was clear that Yang Zhen was starting to get anxious, anxious to find the Ancient Origin Water to save someone.
If it was truly improbable for Ancient Origin Water to be found underground, to what extent would Yang Zhen dig before giving up?
Given Yang Zhen's stubborn nature, once he had set his mind on something, he probably wouldn't stop until he hit a dead end.
Was he going to dig through the earth?
The Su Emperor Palace Empress had just been about to persuade Yang Zhen when Yang Zhen had already dug a man-deep hole, burying most of his body into the ground.
Emperor Aotian let out a cold snort, just as he was about to speak, a thundering rumble suddenly came from the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them turned pale as the earth beneath them collapsed thunderously, fierce atmospheric waves bearing down upon them. They had no time to react before they were pressed into the depths of the earth by an overwhelming force.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The terrifying collapse continued for a long time, seeming to swallow up the ground within a hundred miles.
Yang Zhen and his companions could barely maintain their bodies amidst the soil, yet Yang Zhen, as if with a heart of iron, allowed the violent force to push him downward even though he could have moved through the rocks and stones unimpeded.
I've found it!
Yang Zhen laughed heartily, pulling over the Su Emperor Palace Empress to shield her in front of him as they plummeted downwards.
Emperor Aotian was not so lucky, his face covered in dust and mud, attempting to speak, only to end up with a mouthful of earth.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the collapse seemed to irritate Emperor Aotian to impatience before the three of them finally landed heavily on the ground.
As soon as Yang Zhen landed, his face changed, and he hurriedly embraced the Su Emperor Palace Empress, arranging a Great Desolation Heavenly Forbidden around them both.
“What… what is this?”
Emperor Aotian's voice came through, tinged with shock.
Two massive statues appeared before them.
Identical to the statues Yang Zhen had seen before, they were a hundred zhang tall, clad in golden armor, wielding golden long swords, and an awe-inspiring aura emanated from the statues, compelling one to worship.
Between these two statues stood a gate tens of zhang high.
What shocked Emperor Aotian was that the door was pitch black, and the Heaven and Earth Rune Patterns that flickered on it were like nothing he had ever seen before.
Yang Zhen had never seen these types of Heaven and Earth Rune Patterns either.
They were not the Heaven and Earth True Patterns and were even more intricate and complex.
Perceiving no danger, Yang Zhen, after releasing the flushed Su Emperor Palace Empress from his embrace, clicked his tongue in wonder and said, “Could this be the legendary gate of gods and demons?”
The heads of the statues were not visible. One was badly damaged, while the other appeared to have been deliberately defaced, so cruelly that half its head had been chopped off.
“Who could harbor such hatred as to destroy even the statues?”
The Su Emperor Palace Empress gasped in astonishment.
On the surrounding ravaged land, there were traces of a great battle everywhere, including a space sliced open by a sword, still unrepaired to this moment.
Yang Zhen waved his hand, saying, “Whatever happened here is long in the past. The Sao Saint wants to know now if it is possible for the Ancient Origin Water to exist here?”
Emperor Aotian's face took on a peculiar expression as he looked at Yang Zhen, saying with curiosity, “How did you manage it?”
Yang Zhen looked complacently at Emperor Aotian, not answering his question but instead asking, “So you mean, there is a possibility that the Ancient Origin Water exists here?”
Emperor Aotian snorted and said, “Even if it's possible, what of it? Can you enter through this gate?”
No!
Yang Zhen really didn't know how to open the gate. After all, it wasn't something from the main realm; it was the gate of the gods and demons.
The Su Emperor Palace Empress's breathing quickened, her face strange yet excited as she looked at Yang Zhen and asked, “How on earth did you do it?”
Yang Zhen was startled and asked, “Are you talking about the branch?”
The Su Emperor Palace Empress and Emperor Aotian both nodded eagerly.
Yang Zhen chuckled, saying, “That's called luck; do you know about luck? The Sao Saint has said it, I am the favored son of Heaven and Earth.”
The Su Emperor Palace Empress rolled her eyes at Yang Zhen and said, “Just tell me, I'm really too curious. How could you find such a… such a method?”
Emperor Aotian's ears perked up immediately.
Yang Zhen took a deep breath, blinked, and said, “What if I said… I can sense the laws of Heaven and Earth here? Would you believe me?”
