The Terror of Contemplation
Yang Jian was still coughing dryly. The Howling Celestial Dog wagged its tail and scooted up to him, its eyes filled with deep concern.
Ye Zichen put down his can of cola, walked up to him, and patted his back a few times.
"Are you all right?"
"I'm fine." Yang Jian shook his head hoarsely. "I just wanted to laugh when I thought about how worried the monkey was. Then I choked on my cola."
He coughed a few more times. Perhaps feeling a bit better, Yang Jian took a few sips of his half-empty can of cola.
"Why aren't you drinking?"
Yang Jian couldn't help but ask when he saw the can of cola still sitting on the table.
"I don't really feel like drinking."
Although the Modern Realm Ye Zichen lived in was frozen, the Heavenly Court could already mass-produce Modern Realm items. So long as he wanted something through the Red Packet Group, they'd naturally send it to him.
However, he was rather curious as to why Yang Jian would have it. He'd only just found out about the network's setup.
He hadn't seen anyone send him a can of cola.
Ye Zichen wanted to ask, but the Great Sage's news made him even more curious.
"What did you just say about the Supreme Treasure? Why did it make the Great Sage so excited?"
"You don't know, do you?" Yang Jian's expression was colorful. He sat back in his chair with a wide smile and laughed. "This is a story from before he went to Grandmaster Xuanzang to seek scriptures. Let me tell you, it's pretty explosive."
Yang Jian's expression seemed to say, "Do you want to know? If you do, I'll tell you. "
Ye Zichen narrowed his eyes.
He knew about the Supreme Treasure. In the story Journey to the West, the Great Sage was called the Supreme Treasure before he went to seek scriptures. Back then, he'd had a love-hate relationship with Fairy Zixia.
Ye Zichen glanced at Yang Jian's gossipy face and froze despite himself.
"You didn't run into Zixia, did you?"
Yang Jian's smile instantly froze, and his eyes filled with disbelief.
"How did you know? You know about the monkey's Supreme Treasure too! "
"No way, I'm right?" exclaimed Ye Zichen.
"You're right, but I didn't run into Zixia. I just learned a bit about her. The monkey clearly knows too. Otherwise, why else would he be so excited? "Yang Jian nodded.
Zixia really existed!
Ye Zichen blinked. He didn't know how to describe his current feelings. To be honest, he was an absolute atheist before he entered the Red Packet Group.
In his opinion, those immortals were just made up stories, until he actually saw immortals.
He believed it!
But in his opinion, "Journey to the West" was absolutely fabricated, and the Zixia in it was definitely a fictional character, but now …
He had no choice but to believe it again!
Inexplicably, he couldn't help but panic. Why did all these seemingly fabricated myths and legends actually exist? Moreover, there were no discrepancies in the story. Be it the people or the events, they were all absolutely true.
The only possibility was that someone knew all of this and passed it on to someone else.
"If that's the case, then it's a little scary!"
Ye Zichen rubbed his lips, his eyes filled with shock.
If he didn't think about it, he wouldn't have realized it. But if he thought about it carefully, it was truly terrifying. These seemed to be myths, but they were actually real. Moreover, someone had purposely let everyone know of these stories.
I can't think about it.
If he continued to think about it, Ye Zichen was worried that he would lose sleep at night.
The phone on the table stopped vibrating. Ye Zichen couldn't help but point at it.
"Are you sure you want to ignore the Great Sage like this? You know how bad his temper is."
"You think I'm afraid of him? I'm the Outside's special envoy! That monkey has beaten me up so many times in the past, I'm going to ignore him for a while and let him reflect on his mistakes! "snorted Yang Jian.
"Alright then!"
The two of them were old rivals, so Ye Zichen didn't want to get involved.
At that moment, Yang Jian's special envoy medallion lit up. When he saw the flickering medallion, Yang Jian couldn't help but frown.
"You didn't even give me time to chat."
He resentfully tossed the medallion into the air, then stood up.
"Bro, let's go!"
Ye Zichen didn't reply. Instead, he shot him a puzzled look.
"The Outsiders want to see you. I'm actually here because they told me to pick you up and discuss something with you," said Yang Jian.
"They're looking for me?" Ye Zichen was stunned.
He'd never seen anyone from the Outside before. Why would they want to see him for no apparent reason?
He'd heard that the Outside was the only faction that truly transcended the Laws. From the way the God, Yao, and Demon Emperors treated Yang Jian, it was obvious. Even the mighty hegemons of an entire realm treated the Outside's special envoy like "brother."
From this, it was clear how transcendent the Outside's status was.
Why would such a faction want to see someone like him, who hadn't even reached the diviner level?
"Don't look at me. I don't know why they want to see you either," said Yang Jian.
"Can I not go?" asked Ye Zichen.
"What do you think?" asked Yang Jian.
When he heard that, Ye Zichen gave up resisting. Even the God Emperor feared the Outside. If they wanted to see him, how could he not go?
"But I'm sure they won't harm you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to pick you up," said Yang Jian, sensing Ye Zichen's concern.
Ye Zichen didn't trust the Outside, but he absolutely trusted Yang Jian.
Since he'd said that, Ye Zichen had no reason to hesitate. He nodded.
"Then let's go."
The void of primal chaos.
Yang Jian grabbed Ye Zichen by the shoulder, and they floated through the void.
As far as the eye could see, they were surrounded by black holes that swallowed up heaven and earth.
Before long, Ye Zichen saw at least a few hundred black holes appear in the primal chaos. He even saw a relatively large black hole swallow up a relatively small one.
With Yang Jian protecting him, Ye Zichen didn't sense any of the devouring power.
"We're here?" Ye Zichen looked around at the primal chaos and couldn't help but ask.
Yang Jian shook his head, a rare solemn expression in his eyes. He patted Ye Zichen on the shoulder and said solemnly, "We're about to reach the Outside.
"We'll be arriving at the Outer Realms soon. I stopped here to remind you," said Ye Zichen.
"What is it?"
Yang Jian looked at Ye Zichen, but he hesitated. His eyes betrayed his hesitation.
After a while, he sighed softly and said.
"When we reach the Outside, everything you see might leave you bewildered and shocked. You might even feel like your worldview is about to crumble. However, I hope you'll be able to keep your composure. The first time I went there, I was confused as well. I'm here to give you a mental boost so you can mentally prepare yourself. "
"What do you mean?" Ye Zichen didn't understand.
