Stage? (Fourth Update)

Translator: 549690339

After they climbed over a low mountain, Yang Zhen and the Cat Bastard arrived at a place that looked like a mountain hollow. Stretching their necks to take a look inside, they were surprised.

Inside the spacious hollow, there was a shimmering golden lake. The ray of light piercing the heavens was emanating from within the lake. From a distance, it didn’t seem that impressive, but up close, it was stunning to realize that the beam of light was a hundred feet in radius.

Along the edge of the lake, a group of practitioners gathered, mostly somewhere between the Void Cultivation Stage and the Divine Travel Stage. They had a profound aura with a strong murderous intent radiating off them. It was clear that these people had killed plenty on their way here.

Yang Zhen even spotted Hongluan Spiritual Girl and Xiu’er, two young women, among the crowd, standing next to Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming. This bewildered him, not knowing when these people got together.

Not far from the Hongluan Spiritual Girl and the others, a man clothed in green, with a gloomy face and a sneering smile, stood closest to the lakeside. He was fiddling with about ten or so Golden Fate Balls in his hand.

Seeing this, Cat Bastard’s eyes bulged in surprise and he asked, “Kid, this must be the Heavenly Destiny Spring that Scar Face mentioned, right? Let’s hurry down. It’s been a while since I’ve had a good bath.

Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, “Did you see Lin Tianh, that fella? Caught off guard, Cat Bastard scanned the crowd, shook his head, and said, It doesn’t seem like they’re here.”

Frowning, Yang Zhen grabbed Cat Bastard and was ready to leave, saying, “Let’s go around this place and find the little girl first.

Almost everyone he recognized, and those he didn’t, seemed to be here, but Yang Zhen couldn’t spot Hua Youyue. It was as if she had disappeared since entering here.

Kicking his legs in protest, Cat Bastard scolded, “This is clearly a good place. The water in the Heavenly Destiny Spring can actually refine one’s Spirit Soul, and you don’t even want to soak for a bit?

“We can soak in the Heavenly Destiny Spring anytime. The girl and Lin Tianh are not here, so obviously they think the same. We should find them first, I think.”

With that, the Cat Bastard bit Yang Zhen’s hand and mumbled, “Stop it, kid. If the girl truly awakened her ancient bloodline, she wouldn’t need to soak in the spring. As for that idiot Lin Tianli, he knows nothing. This is the most precious thing we’ve encountered in a long time. Trust me, you’ll thank me in the future.”

Feeling the pain from the bite, Yang Zhen furiously slapped Cat Bastard on the head, yelling, “Damn it, are you rebelling? You dare to bite Sao Saint?

“Shit. You think I’m scared of you? If you dare, we can fight in the Heavenly Destiny Spring.” Cat Bastard didn’t back down, staring down Yang Zhen.

It seemed that Yang Zhen and Cat Bastard’s argument had alerted the crowd by the lake, as a clear cry of surprise echoed, “Yang Zhen!”

Hearing this voice, Yang Zhen stopped his action of hitting Cat Bastard. Seeing everyone gazing at them, he waved with a cheeky smile and said, “Oh, what a coincidence. Great to see you all here.”

Xiu’er’s eyes sparkled and she waved at Yang Zhen, saying, “Yang Zhen, come here!”

Yang Zhen gave Cat Bastard a stare and asked, “Are you sure we don’t need to soak in this thing after awakening the bloodline?”

Rolling his eyes, Cat Bastard said, “You don’t really have enough understanding of the ancient bloodline. You should find some books to read when you have time.”

Seeing Yang Zhen again, Xiu’er looked visibly excited. She curiously examined Yang Zhen and said, “Why did you arrive so late?”

Yang Zhen chuckled. Seeing that Hongluan Spiritual Girl and the others were also looking at him with the same curiosity, he explained, “I took a toilet break on the way, so I arrived a bit late.”

Everyone:

Damn it. What kind of toilet break takes that long? Everyone had fought their way here, and Yang Zhen just casually strolled in.

Bai Xuan didn’t look too well. His energy was still boiling, the murderous aura on his body somewhat heavy, and he seemed a bit weak. He looked at Yang Zhen with a curious expression, then jokingly said, “Brother Yang, did you walk all the way here?”

Yang Zhen was taken aback and asked in surprise, “If I didn’t walk here, are you suggesting that I must have flown?”

Bai Xuan forced out a bitter smile and shook his head, “That’s not what I meant. You don’t seem to have any killing intent about you. Did you not encounter the Golden Beast?”

The Golden Beast must be the creature full of golden light. Yang Zhen, looking at the curious faces around him, answered truthfully, “Well, no, I didn’t. What is a Golden Beast?”

Seeing Yang Zhen’s reaction, everyone present seemed a bit upset. Xiu’er pouted in irritation, “Is this your first time on the Spirit Road?” Bai Xuan’s demeanour faltered before he forced out another bitter laugh, “This is my fault. I forgot to explain on our way here, that only Practitioners who possess a Golden Fate Ball can enter the Heavenly Destiny Spring. Those balls are obtained from the Golden Beasts.”

Xiu’er’s eyes widened in disbelief as she glared at Yang Zhen and Bai Xuan, “You two are such idiots! You forgot something so crucial. What now? Yang Zhen doesn’t have a Golden Fate Ball, how will he enter the Heavenly Destiny Spring?”

Bai Xuan and Ye Zhiming turned somber. Just as they were about to speak, a flash of gold suddenly entered their sight.

With a huff, Xiu’er tossed a Golden Fate Ball towards Yang Zhen, grumbling, “Good lord, you really are a handful.”

As a gold light headed his way, Yang Zhen instinctively caught it and looked at Xiu’er in shock, “Is this for me?”

On their journey, many had died over these Golden Fate Balls, including the scar-face man he had heard about. Yang Zhen had already fully understood the value of a Golden Fate Ball. Every single one could instigate a fight, sometimes even a person’s death.

Although Xiu’er was somewhat reluctant, she didn’t hesitate to give him one, which, quite frankly, shocked Yang Zhen with her generosity.

The Hongluan Spiritual Girl looked equally surprised at Xiu’er, laughed, and handed Yang Zhen two balls, “I don’t have many, I can only give you two.” With simultaneous bitter smiles, Bai Xuan, in particular, said to Yang Zhen, “This is my responsibility. I assumed that if you hadn’t been to the Spirit Road before you would have heard about it from Flower Spirit Girl. I didn’t expect… I’m slightly hurt, and I don’t have many Golden Fate Balls either. I can only give you one.”

Ye Zhiming also produced one and said, “This thing is really hard to come by. I only encountered six Golden Beasts on my journey, and one of them was snatched by others.”

With that, Ye Zhiming also threw a Golden Fate Ball into Yang Zhen’s hands. Yang Zhen and his cat companion stared at each other, then at the five Golden Fate Balls in his hand, and asked in amazement, “How do you know I didn’t run into the Golden Beast?”

Xiu’er glared at him, saying, “Didn’t you notice? Everyone here carries more or less killing intent. The Golden Beasts aren’t really living creatures, but fighting them will easily influence a practitioner’s state of mind. When one’s intent to kill flourishes, their killing intent naturally strengthens. You don’t have any killing intent, doesn’t that mean you haven’t met any?”

Yang Zhen suddenly comprehended. Looking around, everyone indeed had varying degrees of the killing intent as Xiu’er had said. He had not been mistaken.

But he couldn’t help wondering, isn’t something like killing intent easily hidden?

No, the killing intent on Yang Zhen hadn’t been hidden. It had been discarded or thrown away by him. It was so nonchalant and casual about it.

What was happening?

Just then, a strange voice rang, “Hongluan Spiritual Girl, is it really appropriate to give such an important Golden Fate Ball to a waste at the Void Cultivation Stage?”

Waste at the Void Cultivation Stage?

Yang Zhen turned his head and saw the green-clothed, gaunt young man approaching.

Damn it, this guy was overflowing with killing intent.
