Chapter 889 -915: Yang Zhen Returns to the Nether State Continent
As Yang Zhen vanished into thin air with a loud bang, leaving no trace behind, it was only then that Yuanbao Tianzun reacted, his eyes wide as saucers, his beard curling up in surprise. He pointed in the direction where Yang Zhen had disappeared and shouted over his shoulder, “I want all the information on this youngster within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Any problems?”
“No problem!”
A group of practitioners loudly responded, joking aside, this was a request from a Celestial Phase powerhouse, and even if there were no opportunities for fortune involved, everyone present had to comply, absolutely had to.
Who knows, if one were to provide some useful information, they might be remembered by this Big Beard powerhouse in front of them. Although they certainly wouldn’t be remembered as clearly as Yang Zhen, being remembered at all was something, wasn’t it?
Now that the world was reviving, powerhouses were emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain, and not just individuals—mighty sects that inspired awe were also appearing one after another.
In such a phase where it was exceedingly difficult to get noticed, being remembered by a powerhouse was undoubtedly a great honor and a stroke of good fortune.
Hence, all the practitioners present racked their brains to figure out the origins of this admirable young man soaring through the sky.
Even the refined elder and other Celestial Phase powerhouses looked curiously in the direction where Yang Zhen had disappeared, their ears pricked up to listen to the lively discussions among the crowd below.
Clearly, they were also very interested in Yang Zhen’s background.

Many felt disdain, thinking that no matter how important Yang Zhen’s origins, he was just a dying man. What did these seniors need with the information of a man on his deathbed?
More people didn’t care whether Yang Zhen was close to death or not; it would be better if he died right now, so that the opportunities and fortunes of the several Celestial Phase powerhouses present might fall onto themselves.
Despite everyone’s brainstorming about Yang Zhen’s origins, Yang Zhen had always been active in the East Sea, Northern Island, and the Western Region; he had barely come to the Central Court. It was only in the small locale of Nether State that someone had once heard legends about Yang Zhen, but those were tales from long ago.
When Yuanbao Tianzun returned to the side of the refined elder and others, his face still wore an expression of doubting life itself.
Seeing the refined elder hesitating to speak, Yuanbao Tianzun blinked and asked with an astonished face, “Can a human practitioner really achieve such speed?”
The speed that Yang Zhen had shown was indeed frightening. Yuanbao Tianzun and the others had seen such velocity before, but those capable of such speed were usually some naturally born spirit animals or demon beasts, or creatures that could be tamed as mounts.
They had really never seen a human practitioner move that fast.
The refined elder and the others looked at each other, their faces a mix of amusement and helplessness.
Your speed, Yuanbao Tianzun, is already much faster than ours. If you don’t know whether a human practitioner can reach such speeds, why ask us?
After hearing Yuanbao Tianzun’s words, the expressions on the faces of the many Celestial Phase powerhouses present all turned serious.
Clearly, Yuanbao Tianzun had been truly shocked by Yang Zhen’s speed.
Although everyone else was also surprised, they obviously weren’t as shocked as Yuanbao Tianzun was.
Only those who have truly pushed speed to the extreme understand just how difficult it is to make another breakthrough.
Yuanbao Tianzun’s speed hadn’t improved for a long time, and this was something he had long desired.
Having almost given up on improvement, Yuanbao Tianzun couldn’t help but be excited upon seeing Yang Zhen’s speed.
His beard was nearly flying!
To think that a human practitioner could still make such breakthroughs was like a tremendous treasure for Yuanbao Tianzun. If he could only find Yang Zhen and seek his advice, Yuanbao Tianzun might be able to greatly increase his own speed.
Just the thought of a Celestial Phase powerhouse asking a Circulation Phase first Heaven Realm youngster for advice on movement speed made everyone feel a strange sense of absurdity.
Especially the refined elder and others, who felt it was somewhat ridiculous, exchanging wry smiles with each other.
But Yuanbao Tianzun didn’t care about that. All he wanted now was to know exactly who that young man was, and what kind of movements could produce such terrifying speed.
If Yuanbao Tianzun knew that the Rushing Sky Cannon Yang Zhen had just used was his own original Cultivation Method, who knows how shocked he would be.
…
As he saw the densely packed crowd around him, with not a single person recognizing Yang Zhen, Yuanbao Tianzun’s expression gradually darkened. Just as he was about to speak up, he suddenly heard a crisp voice from within the crowd, “I… I know him, his name is…”
Boom—!
Before that person could finish, an earth-shattering surge of energy swept through the surroundings, blasting other people away and leaving them staring blankly at Yuanbao Tianzun and a young woman who remained standing in place, their faces painted with astonishment.
Just how urgent must it be to cause such a loss of composure even for a Celestial Phase powerhouse?
The young woman who had called out from the crowd almost fainted in fright. She had never been so close to a Celestial Phase powerhouse and was so nervous she couldn’t speak.
Poor Yuanbao Tianzun, with his intimidating appearance, didn’t want to scare the young woman in front of him, so he forced himself to put on a weird and ungainly smile, speaking gently, “Young lady, don’t be afraid. Tell me everything you know, and this Seven-Star Spirit Treasure will be yours.”
As he spoke, Yuanbao Tianzun shoved a long sword forcefully into the young woman’s hands.
The young woman stared blankly at the Seven-Star Spirit Treasure sword in her hand, her face filled with ecstasy. She tried to speak several times but couldn’t utter a word.
The surrounding crowd was overcome with envy, staring greedily at the long sword in the young woman’s hand; their minds raced, How they wished to suddenly remember the name of that young man from earlier. Even if they couldn’t obtain a seven-star sword, six stars would do, wouldn’t it? Or even five stars?
The young woman clearly knew that if anyone else remembered Yang Zhen’s name at this time, Yuanbao Celestial might retract the seven-star sword in her hands. Her face turned pale as she quickly spoke, “Esteemed elder, the person just now was… Yang Zhen. I’ve seen him before, no mistake, it was Yang Zhen!”
“Oh?” Yuanbao Celestial revealed a hint of interest on his face, murmuring to himself, “So his name is Yang Zhen? But amongst the sects nowadays, it seems there isn’t a lad named Yang Zhen. Those good-for-nothings, I truly have no regard for them.”
When the young woman uttered the name Yang Zhen, the several Celestial Phase powerhouses took it a bit better, but anyone else who could hear the name Yang Zhen all let out gasps of surprise in unison.
“Holy mother, it was actually him. Lucky I didn’t say anything to offend him, otherwise… No, it’s no good staying in Nether State any longer. I must hurriedly leave this place.”
Those who hadn’t spoken ill of Yang Zhen all wore tense expressions, while those who had mocked and ridiculed him turned pale and almost turned to leave.
The name Yang Zhen spread from one to ten and ten to a hundred. In no time at all, nearly every practitioner present knew of it. A wave of astonishment rose, and anyone who had heard of Yang Zhen’s exploits turned pale.
Yang Zhen has returned to Nether State!
This news practically sprouted wings and flew over hills and dales.
“Yang Zhen, it’s actually Yang Zhen, who would’ve thought that Yang Zhen had come back? My heavens, Nether State is about to become lively.”
“Right, the Shangyuan Sect on White Cloud Mountain is nearby… It must have been affected by the Heaven and Earth Chasm. No wonder Yang Zhen hastened his return; it was all for the Shangyuan Sect.”
“My heavens, is Yang Zhen actually going back to the Shangyuan Sect?”
“It’s no use, I have been to the Shangyuan Sect before; at this time, the sect is probably already swallowed by the Heaven and Earth Chasm.”
“Was that really Yang Zhen just now? He… He has actually reached the Circulation Phase. How many years has it been, two years? One year? Who could have imagined that such a demon would arise in my Nether State? Just how high is Yang Zhen’s talent?”
The crowd buzzed with countless discussions, nearly everyone forgetting the presence of several Celestial Phase experts, eyes aglow as they watched in the direction Yang Zhen had departed.
Yuanbao Celestial’s face flickered with astonishment. Turning to a refined elder, they exchanged puzzled glances and said, “Who is Yang Zhen? Could he be a survivor from the Great Desolation era? No, it’s clear that he is under twenty, and even if he was a descendent born from the Great Desolation, he shouldn’t display such brilliance and talent. Could he be a reincarnated being?”
As the word ‘reincarnated being’ was mentioned, the many Celestial Phase experts present all grew solemn.
Just then, the young woman who received the seven-star Spirit Treasure long sword suddenly spoke up, “Elder, Yang Zhen is not from the Great Desolation era, but a disciple of a sect on Nether State called Shangyuan Sect.”
Yuanbao Celestial’s eyes suddenly bulged wide with disbelief, “Impossible, it cannot be!”
The refined elder was also surprised, shaking his head with a wry smile, he said, “Fellow Yuanbao, it seems our understanding of the cultivation world is truly superficial. Who would’ve thought that the cultivation world would have such a bright and brilliant junior? This Yang Zhen, we must indeed make his acquaintance.”
Hearing the refined elder use the term ‘make acquaintance,’ everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
But what shocked the crowd even more was that Yuanbao Celestial seriously nodded and said, “Certainly, but I’m unsure how much hope this lad has of surviving after barging into the Heaven and Earth Chasm.”
“Perhaps it’s utterly impossible,” the refined elder’s face was filled with regret.
Hearing this, the other practitioners nearby nearly burst into laughter.
Good grief, how splendid! That rascal Yang Zhen seems to cause a sensation wherever he goes, but this time, it really was too impulsive. Even the Celestial Phase powerhouses say he can’t come out, then he definitely can’t come out.
…
Yang Zhen looked back and upon seeing Big Beard hadn’t followed, he breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, “Dammit, that Big Beard is definitely not right in the head.”
If Yuanbao Celestial knew that Yang Zhen hadn’t entered the Heaven and Earth Chasm at all, but was instead running alongside it, heading sideways, hoping to bypass the chasm, his eyes would surely pop.
Thus Yang Zhen continued to follow the path of the Heaven and Earth Chasm for three days and still saw no end. His heart began to sink.
Could such a terrifying expanse have enveloped all of Nether State? Had White Cloud Mountain truly been destroyed?
Meanwhile, Han Yan’er and Hua Youyue, along with a group of people led by Feng Wu Ya, were aboard a flying ship in the skies above Nether State.
Han Yan’er appeared somewhat anxious, turning to Hua Youyue beside her, she asked, “Sister, do you think… Yang Zhen might be in danger?”
Hua Youyue shook her head and said, “He’s not someone who acts rashly. Don’t worry.”
Han Yan’er let out a sigh of relief, but before she could fully relax, she suddenly overheard two passing practitioners speaking.
“Have you heard? Yang Zhen has returned to Nether State and plunged headfirst into the Heaven and Earth Chasm. He hasn’t come out yet.”
“What? Someone entered the Heaven and Earth Chasm? Is that even a place for people to enter?”
Hua Youyue and Han Yan’er both shuddered in unison, their complexions turning pale.
Especially Hua Youyue; others might not grasp the horror of the Heaven and Earth Chasm, but she understood clearly. With Yang Zhen’s current strength, once inside the Heaven and Earth Chasm, there was no chance of coming out alive.
