Invincible Starting from Max Level Attributes

Chapter 692: Chapter 698: Everyone in the World is Wrong! (Part 1)

Was it wrong?

Upon hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the Despicable Cat paused, then grimaced and said, “Kid, throughout history, countless people have met their deaths due to excessive killing. Do you know why I previously advised you against causing too much harm?”

“Why?” Yang Zhen paused, asking curiously.

Yang Zhen had picked up on the Despicable Cat’s intentions before – he would let Yang Zhen stir things up, but rarely allowed him to kill people. In fact, it was strongly against Yang Zhen killing too many, which felt strange to him.

In the world of cultivation, it was naturally the survival of the fittest, and killing for treasures was commonplace. Yet, the Despicable Cat rarely let Yang Zhen kill recklessly, suggesting a clear reason.

In the past, whenever Yang Zhen had asked about it, the Cat always said it wasn’t the right time. Unexpectedly, it seemed like the Cat was about to divulge the answer.

Yang Zhen listened quietly to the Despicable Cat. Even the surrounding crowd looked at the Cat with surprise.

Of course, many scoffed at the Cat’s words. This kind of thinking, not to kill, was ludicrous in the world of cultivation. If others were intent on killing you, why should you constrain yourself from killing others?

But Yang Zhen was different. He came from the Azure Planet, where killing was deemed wrong and one was expected to consume their simple staple food.

Though the Despicable Cat had told Yang Zhand to minimize killing, he had accepted it. However, he always harbored a sense of curiosity, which was on the verge of being unveiled now, arousing a sense of anticipation.

Seeing the surrounding crowd all look over with curiosity, the Despicable Cat cleared his throat, putting on the high demeanor he usually had in the Beiqi Clan, and said in a deep voice to Yang Zhen, “Currently, the laws of heaven and earth are imperfect. Those who cause excessive harm ultimately face a bad end. Kid, even though I have no definitive proof, do you know where those Great Saints and Emperors from the past epoch have gone?”

At these words, everyone around drew a sharp breath. Where those individuals had gone was still a mystery, a commonly acknowledged fact. Could it be that the Despicable Cat knew?

Even Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in astonishment, “Were those Great Saints and Emperors all killed by the laws of heaven and earth?”

The Despicable Cat took a deep breath and said, “Even if they weren’t killed by the laws of heaven and earth, they still died within them.”

“Master, is what you said true?” Kua Hu looked over with a doubtful look on his face, a shocked expression flashing across it.

Yang Zhen also asked in amazement, “How do you know they all died due to the laws of heaven and earth?”

Looking at the sky, the Despicable Cat grimaced and said, “If I continue, I might invoke wrath from Heaven. Whether it’s true or not, I’ve been looking for proof for many years, but have not found any yet.”

As he was about to speak, Hua Youyue suddenly said, “What the Despicable Cat said could very well be true.”

What?

Everyone in the vicinity was shocked. Even those people who had initially scoffed at the Despicable Cat’s words now wore a solemn expression, disbelievingly looking at Hua Youyue.

According to rumors, Hua Youyue was the reincarnation of the Tri-Floral Saintess. Even though this claim was not confirmed, since Hua Youyue’s arrival at the Tri-Floral Temple, it had opened automatically and no prohibitions were triggered when people entered.

Initially, people didn’t think much of it. But considering it now, how could the grand temple of the Tri-Floral Saintess be calm and peaceful?

It was clearly not because the temple didn’t contain any dangers, but because Hua Youyue was present, and none of the prohibitions were triggered.

Given these circumstances, many people were beginning to believe that Hua Youyue was truly the reincarnation of the Tri-Floral Saintess.

Moreover, amongst those present, a good number were convinced that Hua Youyue was indeed the reincarnation. At the very least, Yang Zhen was one hundred percent sure that Hua Youyue was indeed a descended soul of the Tri-Floal Saintess.

Yang Zhen turned to Hua Youyue and asked in surprise, “Did you remember something?”

Hua Youyue shook her head and said, “They’re still fragments of memories. But when the Despicable Cat mentioned the laws of heaven and earth just now, it triggered something in my memory. It seems the death of the Tri-Floral Saintess is related to the laws of heaven and earth.”

Oh!

Yang Zhen’s eyes widened in surprise and he blurted, “So, it seems that the Despicable Cat’s guess might be true then. Could it be that the deaths of those Great Saints and Emperors were indeed connected to the laws of heaven and earth?”

The lowly cat sneered, saying, “There are countless secrets in the world, let’s not talk about this anymore, or heaven’s punishment will erase us all. Boy, you’ve undergone quite the transformation this year. Have you really created your own Dao?”

Upon hearing these words, everyone’s heart skipped a beat, and they looked at Yang Zhen in astonishment.

It was common knowledge that Yang Zhen was trapped in the Thunder Lustre Hellfire because of his outrageous ambition to create his own Dao, which had kept him there for a whole year. Everyone thought he had died inside.

After all, Thunder Lustre Hellfire had become the most forbidden site in the Northern Island, a place even those in the Circulation Phase could not enter. No one imagined that Yang Zhen could actually get out.

Hua Youyue, Han Yan’er, and others all focused their gazes on Yang Zhen, especially Hua Youyue, who looked at Yang Zhen with worry, then slowly asked, “You just said that we were all wrong. In what way?”

When Yang Zhen had slain the five clans with a single stroke, the force he had wielded had shocked even the lowly cat and Hua Youyue. Although they didn’t know what sort of force it was, everyone understood that it was not of this era. Such a surge of power had not only affected the clans but also everyone outside its range, creating a sense of despair in their hearts.

It was a force capable of destroying the world, terrifying and despairing.

Yang Zhen looked at the crowd with a calm expression, but inwardly, he was shocked. After a long time, he shrugged and said, “I don’t know if I have succeeded in creating my own Dao. During my time in Thunder Lustre Hellfire, I could sense the Three Thousand Great Tiaoist and countless minor Daos, but I was not able to capture any of them.”

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped before Yang Zhen finished speaking.

Beiqi Clan’s chief Kua Hu looked at Yang Zhen in shock and exclaimed, “You could actually sense the Three Thousand Great Tiaoist? Are you sure? Really, all three thousand?”

No wonder everyone was stunned. The Three Thousand Great Tiaoist was not something anyone could sense. They could hardly comprehend the sensing even one Dao, let alone three thousand.

The pursuit of understanding Haeven and Earth Great Tiaoist was a lifelong endeavour for many, hoping to elevate their powers.

The fact that Yang Zhen could directly sense the Great Tiaoist, let alone the Three Thousand Great Tiaoist, felt absurd.

With someone like Yang Zhen existing, why bother cultivating or understanding Dao? They might as well go home, get hitched, and have kids.

But thankfully, the world was just. When people learned that Yang Zhen, despite being able to sense the Three Thousand Great Tiaoist, couldn’t grasp even the weakest one, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Yang Zhen spoke again: “Yes, there was no Dao for me in this world, so I thought about creating a Dao of my own.”

As he spoke, a look of arrogance flashed across Yang Zhen’s face, leaving everyone confused.

The lowly cat stared at Yang Zhen in disbelief and asked incredulously, “Did you succeed?”

Yang Zhen replied with a strange expression, “Kind of.”

“What do you mean by ‘Kind of’?” the Lowly Cat asked with an even stranger expression.

Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, “Because I discovered that you all were wrong. Everyone in this world was wrong. What you seek is the Dao of heaven and earth, but this kind of Dao is not Dao at all. It’s more like… the rules of a game!”

“What?”

Hearing Yang Zhen’s words, the Lowly Cat felt his fur standing on end from shock. He stared at Yang Zhen, completely stunned and speechless.

Yang Zhen didn’t expect such a reaction from the Lowly cat and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Did I get it wrong?”

After a long time, the lowly cat shook his head, “You… don’t know. But before you, someone else said the same thing.”

“Who?” A certain name suddenly popped into Yang Zhen’s mind.

“The one who defied 360 heavenly tribulations with a single sword.”

Of course!
