Chapter 604: Chapter 611: What a Coincidence? (Fourth Update)


    The young man stopped, staring at Yang Zhen, a hint of impatience shing in his eyes.


    Gong Sanhe simply chuckled before saying, “Oh well, since we’ve run into each other, why don’t you juste with us?”


    The young man blinked, looking at Gong Sanhe in amazement as he said, “Elder Gong, this …”


    Gong Sanheughed again, saying, “It’s fine. These ancient ruins are incredibly strange, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to find the ce I’m looking for …”


    After saying that, he turned to Yang Zhen and said, “Little Li, this ce isn’t safe. Even though you’re with the three of us, you must always be wary. Especially of those from the Moro Pce. You must be careful around them.”


    “Moro Pce?” Yang Zhen paused, looking slightly puzzled. Was this Moro Pce somehow rted to bandits with the name “Motor” or something?


    Seeing the expression on Yang Zhen’s face, Gong Sanhe seemed startled and asked, “What, have you not heard of Moro Pce?”


    Yang Zhen had no clue what the Moro Pce was. He simplyughed heartily and replied, “Of course this junior has heard of the Moro Pce. But I do notprehend why this ce is rted to Moro Pce, nor why I must be cautious around them.”


    Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the young man scoffed coldly, “The group from Moro Pce are all death servants, madmen. It’s best to stay silent in their presence. If you provoke them, we will have endless troubles.”


    Yang Zhen immediately promised, “Won’t speak, absolutely won’t speak. Even if you killed me, I wouldn’t speak. Is that reassuring enough?”<div>


    Pfft!


    The young woman smirked, looking at Yang Zhen with interest before quickly resuming herposed and elegant demeanor. However, the hint of aloofness on her face had considerably softened.


    The young man seemed rather pleased with Yang Zhen’s response, nodding as he said, “That’s more like it. Since Elder Gong is willing to bring you along, just follow us closely. Don’t wander off or make trouble. Once we leave, you’re free.”


    Yang Zhen turned to Elder Gong with a curious expression and said, “I haven’t thanked Elder Gong yet for giving me this opportunity. Might I ask, what location is Elder Gong looking for? Perhaps I could be of some help.”


    The young man snorted derisively, but said nothing.


    Elder Gong chuckled, “Your willingness to help is enough. That old fellow Duan Sihai indeed has a good disciple. But the location I’m searching for is called the Heavenly Machine Lock. It’s a ce of legend, extremely hidden. Have you ever heard of it?”


    “No!”


    Yang Zhen said honestly. Let alone a Heavenly Machine Lock, he hadn’t even seen an iron lock before.


    The young man sneered, “Elder Gong, Li Cangxu clearly seems to be someone who practices in Sacred Lands year-round. How would he know about the existence of the Heavenly Machine Lock?”


    The group of four moved intermittently. Yang Zhen had not seen anyone else, as though he was the only one caught in the gust. He snatched the names of the young man and woman from the casual conversation.


    The young man was named Ding Chun. Even though his cultivation was only at the early stage of Mahayana Phase, he could tell from his conversation that evenmon peak Mahayana Phase experts were no match for him.


    The young woman was even more extraordinary. While her aura wasn’t particrly strong, she was indeed a peak Mahayana Phase expert. Her name was Wen Yuning, and all three of them belonged to a power known as the Ancient Life Sect.


    Yang Zhen had never heard of the Ancient Life Sect’s faction, but it must be a ancient heritage from Gong Sanhe’s attitude towards Duan Sihai.


    Damn, these ancient heritages were alling out into the world. Were they really going to turn heaven and earth upside down?


    As for the ancient ruins, it didn’t seem as simple as the two great Sacred Lands, the Heavenly Spring Sacred Land and the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, had described. Yang Zhen had identally stumbled in and could not ask what the bridge mentioned by the two great Sacred Lands was all about. He could only keep quiet and follow the trio, searching for that confounded Heavenly Machine Lock.


    Soon enough, the group of four had reached the peak of the mountain. Yang Zhen gazed at the misty world in the distance, taking a deep breath.


    This ce was undeniably far superior to anywhere on Northern Ind. The primitive aura that permeated the ce was beyond what any ce on Northern Ind couldpete with.


    Even Yang Zhen, a peak Mahayana Phase practitioner, felt a faint pressure in this heaven and earth. Clearly, the will of the heavens and earth here was much stronger than that on Northern Ind.


    Hmm, I can’t just b anything, and definitely can’t me God. This damned ce will surely get struck by lightning.<div>


    The trio of Gong Sanhe stopped upon reaching here, with Yang Zhen casting a puzzled look upon their faces, appearing rather strange.


    Looking at the expressions on the faces of the trio from Gong Sanhe, they genuinely didn’t know the exact location of the Heavenly Machine Lock, but they should have a way to find it.


    At this thought, Yang Zhen was somewhat surprised.


    Gong Sanhe once said, the Heavenly Machine Lock was a ce from ancient legends, containing one of the Three Pure Ones of Heaven and Earth. Whoever acquired this one Pure One could evolve their Dao into a great one.N?v(el)B\\jnn<div>


    Even being close to this one Pure One was astounding; even a fool could obtain enlightenment.


    Upon hearing these words, Yang Zhen’s eyes immediately brightened.


    Damn it, after cultivating for so long, Yang Zhen still didn’t know what exactly his Dao was. Questioning the scoundrel cat also resulted in no answers, only telling him to do as he pleased and focus on the things he found interesting.


    If he could get closer to this one Pure One, wouldn’t that mean he was about to obtain enlightenment?


    Although Yang Zhen wasn’t a fool, at that moment, he did feel his heart racing as he moved closer to Gong Sanhe and asked, “Senior Gong, what exactly is the location of the Heavenly Machine Lock? You should tell me. Maybe I could be of some help to you.”


    Ding Chun snickered and said, “Help? Do you know why the Heavenly Machine Lock is called that?”


    “Why?”


    Yang Zhen was taken aback, he honestly didn’t know why it was named the Heavenly Machine Lock – he didn’t even know what the Heavenly Machine Lock was.


    At this moment, Wen Yuning, who hadn’t spoken much, suddenly said, “The Heavenly Machine Lock has been locking heaven since ancient times, able to avoid even the will of heaven and earth. Aside from extremely special methods, no living being can perceive the location of the Heavenly Machine Lock.”


    Wen Yuning’s words startled Yang Zhen who, with wide eyes and in clear disbelief, asked, “There’s actually a ce that can avoid the will of heaven and earth?”


    Ding Chun nodded and said, “In this world, there are numerous mysterious things. The Heavenly Machine Lock is merely one of the Nine Great Heavenly Machines and it’s the most well-known and easiest to find amongst people. The remaining eight Great Heavenly Machines are even more extraordinary, possessing the power of heaven and earth. Even if I told you about them, you wouldn’t understand.”


    Yang Zhen immediately made a note of it. It turned out there weren’t just the Nine Heavenly Patterns and the Heavenly Book as the defiance of heaven in this world, but also the miraculous Nine Great Heavenly Machines.


    Suddenly, Yang Zhen thought of the special method that Wen Yuning had mentioned and couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What is that so-called special method?”<div>


    Wen Yuning nced at Yang Zhen and said, “Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Book?”


    Yang Zhen hurriedly nodded his head and said, “I have, I have, I’ve heard of that.”


    He truly had heard of it; Yang Zhen didn’t lie to Wen Yuning at all.


    Seeing the expression on Yang Zhen’s face, Ding Chun couldn’t help but curl his lips, mumbling something under his breath.


    Wen Yuning nced at Ding Chun then said to Yang Zhen, “ording to legend, a true Earth Master could see ten thousand years in a nce and reproduce the changes of heaven and earth. These powerful beings have mastered the Ksitigarbha Chapter of the Heavenly Book. Only those who have reached the pinnacle of the Ksitigarbha Skill can urately locate the existence of the Heavenly Machine Lock.”


    Upon saying this, Wen Yuning sighed and continued, “However, the Heavenly Book is extremely rare, even more mysterious than the Heavenly Machine Lock. Any practitioner in this world who manages to acquire the Heavenly Book bes an awe-inspiring figure. Even for us, only our founding ancestor was fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of some content from the Ksitigarbha Chapter.”


    It was clear to see, Wen Yuning was truly regretful andpletely unaware of the bewildered state Yang Zhen was in.


    The Ksitigarbha Chapter of the Heavenly Book?


    Damn, the Ksitigarbha Chapter of the Heavenly Book is currently right on him.


    Is this too damn coincidental or what?
