Chapter 1132: Chapter 1159: This is much better! (Second update) Chapter 1132: Chapter 1159: This is much better! (Second update) “The treasure of the Pirate King?”

Everyone’s spirits were chilled, and they all fixed their gazes firmly on Yang Zhen.

Yang Zhen was also caught up in the tale, sitting cross-legged on the ground with a nostalgic expression as he began to speak, “No kidding, back then I, Sao Saint, was only in my teens, in the prime of my youth. One day, after arriving at the East Sea, I accidentally heard a legend about a treasure left by the Pirate King. Have any of you heard of the Pirate King?”

“No!” Zhou Tong was an exemplary straight man, his eyes gleaming with curiosity as he asked, “Who is the Pirate King?”

Yang Zhen shook his head and said, “I don’t know, and I didn’t dare to ask. However, it’s said that the Pirate King possessed all the treasures of the East Sea, almost everything precious in the East Sea was in his hands.”

“Absurd!” Sword Demon scoffed coldly and said, “Throughout history, no one has ever been able to control all the treasures of a place in their own hands.”

“That’s because you’re uninformed. The Pirate King was precisely such a person; otherwise, how could he have enjoyed wine and discussed poetry and philosophy with the Eastern Desolation Emperor?” Yang Zhen replied leisurely.

“What?”

Everyone was startled. The mention of drinking and discussing poetry with the Eastern Desolation Emperor immediately became the central focus, setting aside the question of its plausibility.

Zhou Tong’s greatest wish in life was to touch the edge of the Emperor Realm; even becoming a Half-step Emperor would satisfy him completely.

Now that he heard the name of the Eastern Desolation Emperor, his interest was piqued, and he immediately sat down beside Yang Zhen, patting Yang Zhen’s shoulder and urging him to continue.

Yang Zhen pulled out two small stools from his storage ring and said to Nine Dragons and Heaven Mountain Holy Lord, “Don’t just stand there; sit down and listen carefully.”

Nine Dragons and Heaven Mountain Holy Lord exchanged a peculiar look and, after casting a wary glance at Sword Demon, sat down beside Yang Zhen, one on each side, with Zhou Tong in front.

Sword Demon’s face was a mix of emotions, deep in thought. Seeing that Nine Dragons, Heaven Mountain Holy Lord, and Zhou Tong had already surrounded Yang Zhen, and even Elder Yan, who usually didn’t speak much, was eagerly moving forward, he suddenly huffed coldly, kicked Elder Yan, and said in a cold voice, “Move aside!”

Elder Yan, angry but not daring to speak, glared at Sword Demon resentfully and moved to the side.

After squatting down, Sword Demon beckoned to Yang Zhen and said, “Bring a stool for me too!”

“Me too, me too!” Zhou Tong raised his hand and said.

After handing out stools to both of them, Yang Zhen began, “As for the Pirate King’s treasure, I didn’t find it. It remains for someone destined to open it. Don’t be disappointed, though I didn’t find the Pirate King’s treasure, I did find a clue.”

“What clue?” Zhou Tong asked curiously.

Yang Zhen glanced at Sword Demon and said, “The place where the Pirate King and the Eastern Desolation Emperor once discussed poetry and philosophy.”

“What?”

Sword Demon’s eyes lit up as he asked in a deep voice, “That place, is it in the East Sea?”

Yang Zhen nodded and said, “It is naturally in the East Sea, but don’t think about going there.”

“Why?” Sword Demon looked at Yang Zhen coldly, appearing underestimated, as if he would not let Yang Zhen off without a good explanation.

Yang Zhen, who had no other skills but was a master storyteller, then said aloud, “Seeing the mountain as a mountain, seeing the mountain as not a mountain, seeing the mountain still as a mountain, this phrase was discovered from the place where the two discussed poetry and philosophy.”

See, this is called focusing on the subject, to prevent everyone from being distracted by the story and forgetting the original intention, which would put Yang Zhen in danger.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, everyone’s expression grew stern!

“In those days, the Pirate King had already become obsessed and severely ill and had also offended a very powerful being in the bottom of the East Sea. It’s said that this being had nine dragon heads and eighteen tails, countless tentacles, and could easily turn rivers and seas upside down. In its fury, the entire East Sea would boil.”

“Is this… even more powerful than an emperor?” Zhou Tong exclaimed in fright.

Yang Zhen gave Zhou Tong a disdainful look and said, “Otherwise, do you think why the Pirate King would be afraid of it?”

Before Zhou Tong could respond, Yang Zhen continued, “It’s not exactly that he was afraid of that creature; it’s just that the Pirate King was at the end of his life, what did he have to lose?”

“At that time, the Pirate King and the Eastern Desolation Emperor were discussing poetry and philosophy when he carved these words, ‘I, the Pirate King of the East Sea, accumulated countless wealth in my life, but the first thing I comprehended was the ultimate mastery of Sword Dao…’”

Once again, the theme is emphasized!

Upon hearing these words, the eyes of Sword Devil, dark as pitch, seemed to blaze with fire, fixating on Yang Zhen without daring to breathe, fearing to disturb him while the skinny monkey played coy and fell silent.

Yang Zhen glanced at Sword Devil from the corner of his eye and said to Zhou Tong, “What, he said some words?”

“What words?” Zhou Tong’s eyes sparkled.

Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, “The Pirate King said, ‘Look at this sword in my hands, wow, they say ‘see,’ but I clearly saw that painting, and there was no sword in his hand at all. Isn’t that outright lying?’”

“What do you know?” Sword Devil glared at Yang Zhen and said, “The Pirate King meant that though there is no sword in his hands, there is a sword in his heart; thus a sword exists in his eyes as well.”

Poor child!

Yang Zhen nodded and said, “Maybe so. After saying that, the Pirate King immediately followed up, ‘In my life of sword practice, I have gone through three stages: see the sword as a sword, see the sword as not a sword, see the sword as a sword again. Sadly, there was one last realm I never could comprehend. If I had, perhaps I could have been the first person ever to ascend through Sword Dao!’”

To ascend through Sword Dao!

Sword Devil’s breathing became erratic as he stared intently at Yang Zhen and asked, “Did he… fail?”

Upon hearing Sword Devil’s hoarse words, Yang Zhen nodded profoundly and said, “As I told you, the senior’s life reached its end, but he left behind that final realm.”

“The treasure of the Pirate King!” Zhou Tong cried out suddenly, slapping his thigh and saying, “That settles it!”

What does that settle?

This unreliable old man with a loose tongue!

Luckily, Sword Devil seemed not to have heard Zhou Tong as he muttered to himself, “See the sword as a sword, see the sword as not a sword, see the sword as a sword again. What is the last realm?”

At that point, black flames in Sword Devil’s eyes fully ignited as he fixated on Yang Zhen and demanded, “What exactly is it?”

Yang Zhen glared back and said, “How would I know what it is? If you want to know, why don’t you go find the Pirate King’s treasure yourself?”

A violent killing intent suddenly burst from Sword Devil, terrifying everyone around.

“How do I know if what you’re saying is true or false?”

Turns out, this old man isn’t as foolish as he seems.

Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, “As Sao Saint, I swear on my most precious…uh… honor, every word is true, and if there’s even half a lie, may lightning strike me!”

A thunderous boom sounded as clouds began to gather overhead.

But moments later, the clouds suddenly dispersed.

As if Yang Zhen still had any honor left!

Nevertheless, Sword Devil seemed still not to trust Yang Zhen as he reached out to grab him, “Boy, come with me to the East Sea!”

Yang Zhen jumped in fright, almost wanting to curse, “Damn it, I, Sao Saint, am already exhausted, do I still have to fight for my life?”

Just then, Zhou Tong suddenly waved his hand and said, “If you want to go, go by yourself, I wish to stay and listen to the story.”

Everyone: “…”

Yang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, “Now this feels comfortable!”
