Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 1296: Chapter 1321: What kind of monster are you exactly? Chapter 1296: Chapter 1321: What kind of monster are you exactly? Yang Zhen blinked his eye and sent it over, and sure enough, the phoenix-crowned woman frowned and shifted her gaze away.

The victory came so suddenly, the Sao Saint really was unmatched in power, making people pregnant with a stare and turning heads with a glance.

Upon seeing Yang Zhen’s expression, the Nine Dragons Saint smiled bitterly and said, “Boy, don’t be too reckless. These people remind me of a certain existence.”

“What kind of existence now?” Yang Zhen had become numb; the ancient powers, with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation inheritance, each emerging stronger than the last, had already desensitized him.

Yang Zhen’s main goal now was to find the Demon Pattern Origin, imitate it and return to report back. As for whether the demon cultivators would obtain the Demon Emperor’s lineage, or even cultivate a Demon Emperor, he really didn’t care much.

Nipping the danger in the bud was not in Yang Zhen’s nature. When it came time for a real fight, Yang Zhen would definitely not hold back. If there was one to kill, he’d kill one; if there were two, he’d kill a pair. Even if it was a Demon Emperor, Yang Zhen would show him what it meant to be outclassed!

However, Yang Zhen was still very curious about someone who could use a Sky-splitting Bull as a mount. What was their background?

Especially the woman leading them, who seemed as aloof as a domineering female CEO, giving Yang Zhen a bit of an urge to pull her down a notch.

It’s in a man’s nature, unrelated to feelings. Besides, Yang Zhen didn’t like the cold types anyway.

The Nine Dragons Saint, with a grave expression, began to speak, “Su Emperor Palace, a powerful entity that rarely shows itself to the world. No one knows how long their lineage has been; just as no one can know the depth of Su Emperor Palace’s heritage. If I’m not wrong, the person we are facing should be the current Empress of the Su Emperor Palace.”

“Damn, an Empress?” Yang Zhen’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the woman on the Sky-splitting Bull and shook his head, “She is not an Emperor Realm Expert.”

On this point, Yang Zhen wasn’t mistaken; the woman on the Sky-splitting Bull seemed powerful, with a formidable aura and presence, but she was not an Emperor Realm Expert. If she were, Yang Zhen would not have blinked at her earlier, but would have pursed his lips instead.

The Nine Dragons Saint laughed and said, “Indeed, she is not an Emperor Realm Expert, just the Empress of the Su Emperor Palace. However, there is a rumor in the Great Desolation that the great emperor of the Su Emperor Palace is destined to become an Emperor!”

Yikes, Yang Zhen was startled by the Nine Dragons Saint’s certainty and immediately, with a curious glint in his eye, asked, “So, you’re saying they have a means to achieve a breakthrough into the Emperor Realm?”

The Nine Dragons Saint paused, then answered with a smile, “While no one has confirmed it, it seems likely. Otherwise, not every great emperor of the Su Emperor Palace would become an Emperor Realm Expert.”

Yang Zhen understood; this so-called Empress was not an Emperor Realm Expert, just a title in the Su Emperor Palace. And yet, this Empress would surely break through to the Emperor Realm and become an Emperor Realm Expert.

Under such circumstances, if there wasn’t a method or opportunity that would surely allow a breakthrough into the Emperor Realm, Yang Zhen would simply not believe it.

Relationships must be established, definitely!

“Hello, sawadee ka, moshi moshi, lei hou, Miss!” Yang Zhen called out a string of greetings to the people of the Su Emperor Palace from the back of the Heaven Devouring Beast, who knows if they even spoke the tongue of men.

“Hmph!”

With a faint hum, the whole world seemed to sway slightly. An old crone beside the Su Emperor Palace Empress hummed, took a half step forward, and said, “To use the Heaven Devouring Beast as a mount, yet possess such an unbridled temperament. Adequate cultivation, but the state of mind is truly lacking. Empress, this child is not worth our association.”

Hearing this, the Empress nodded her head but didn’t respond to Yang Zhen’s words and even treated the old crone’s statement with a nod as a reply.

Clearly, the Empress agreed with the old crone.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen immediately became defiant and, staring at the old crone, said, “Old lady, that’s not something you should say. Who decided that those with a high state of mind must always be silent and reserved? Life’s joys should be fully embraced. If one can’t freely express their thoughts when they’re successful, wouldn’t that be like a canary trapped in a cage?”

These words were intended for the old woman, but Yang Zhen’s eyes were blatantly fixed on the Empress.

Seldom could women of such status and position truly live as themselves; whether they be holy maidens or imperial daughters, they invariably led lives not of their own choosing, in need of Yang Zhen to rescue them from peril. Ahem, scratch that last part; Yang Zhen was somewhat reluctant to admit it.

As expected, upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the Empress’s face twitched slightly as her gaze on Yang Zhen grew more intense.

“Preposterous, heretical! Young master, under whom have you studied?”

“Pleased to say, I’m of humble origins, hailing from the West Gate of Chen Tang Pass, or in short, the ‘Close-the-West-Gate’ lineage, which implies that the West Gate must be shut.”

The crowd: “???”

“Utter nonsense!” the old woman scoffed coldly. “Young master, let me offer you some advice. If you aspire to become an Emperor, you would do well to restrain your heart. Otherwise, you will certainly live to regret it. Once the opportunity passes, you might wait in vain for another hundred years!”

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen’s eyes widened, and after exchanging a glance with Nine Dragons Saint, he bowed and said, “Thanks for the teachings, Granny, but ‘The fish knows best the joy of the fish,’ my path, I shall carve out myself. Whether or not I become an Emperor is irrelevant; the most important thing in life is to enjoy it!”

Having said that, Yang Zhen burst into laughter and proclaimed, “In our village, there’s an age-old saying that’s considered profound wisdom: ‘Dragons beget dragons and phoenixes, phoenixes, the children of rats can burrow.’ You all restrain your minds, seeking enlightenment to become Emperors, but who’s to say I can’t wander mountains, play by the water and grasp the Tao overnight?”

Boom–!

A thunderclap that pierced the heavens and earth blasted through the sky, illuminating all creation. Underneath Yang Zhen, the Heaven Devouring Beast roared towards the heavens, deafening all around, and powerful gusts erupted, blowing Yang Zhen’s garments wildly, yet his face was one of utter confusion.

The Sao Saint here was just showing off; was there really a need for such a dramatic accompaniment?

This thunder chose such an opportune moment to strike, look at the Empress with her sparkling eyes; what if she fancied the Sao Saint’s handsome appearance paired with his extraordinary talent?

“Absurd, utterly absurd…” the old woman trembled with anger, pointing at Yang Zhen, she said, “Heretical! You are heretical! Without severing the seven emotions, how can one condense the Tao? Without falling into the six desires, how can one amass intent? Without the Taoist Feeling blending duality into unity, how can you…”

“Granny!”

A voice as clear as the cold winter’s last month cut through, and all of a sudden, the whole world became still.

The old woman shivered all over, her face flickering with an uncertain and gloomy expression as she glared at Yang Zhen with gritted teeth, “Young man, are you mocking me with my own words?”

Yang Zhen shook his head, his face clouded with bafflement as he murmured to himself, “There’s someone who insists on severing emotions and desires; can’t afford to offend, really can’t. Granny, it was a pleasure to meet you all. ‘Till we meet again among green hills and clear waters. Heaven Devouring Beast… Let’s go!”

Roar–!

The Heaven Devouring Beast became excited, bolting off at a frenetic pace, leaving the Sky-splitting Bull far behind in an instant.

Nine Dragons Saint, who had been by Yang Zhen’s side, only snapped out of his daze after the Heaven Devouring Beast had dashed thousands of feet away, taking a sharp intake of breath and staring dumbfounded at Yang Zhen.

“What’s the matter, brother, have you been stewed?” Yang Zhen waved his hand in front of Nine Dragons Saint.

Nine Dragons Saint gasped and mumbled to himself, “Clever lad, you’ve just laid bare secrets thousands of years old with just a few words. What kind of monster are you?”

“Only ‘appearing’ to mess things up?” Yang Zhen curled his lip; even with full knowledge, he wouldn’t cultivate to the Emperor Realm in such a cruel way.

To sever emotions and desires, how cruel that would be?

It practically annihilates a living person, leaving naught but an Emperor Realm shell behind. What’s the use of that?
