Crack! At the same time, a low and heavy sound was heard from the black and green doors. Then, the two doors started vibrating.
A vast and ancient aura exuded from the doors. It was like the newborn heaven and earth, along with a whistle and supreme authority.
Buzz!
Vast and broad, the ocean waves caused the atmosphere to become extremely suffocating to the point when one had difficulties breathing.
At this moment, the clouds that were blocking the sky was blown away, completely revealing the two doors standing erected in the heaven.
“The Door of the Realm of Demons!”
“The Door of the Realm of Monsters!”
“Are they really going to be opened?!”
The sages, disciples of the various sects and the Monster Kings all stopped moving and stared at the two tall doors in the heaven.
Fang Zhengzhi froze in midair, in an upside-down position that was less than ten steps away from Yun Qingwu and the ten elders of the demon race.
In fact, he had broken through the the 10-Sided Flaming Demonic Formation again. However, he could not continue advancing because he was constrained by a white fox tail on his right leg.
Monster Emperor Baizhi could allow anyone to spring an attack on Yun Qingwu, except for one person.
Fang Zhengzhi.
Therefore, when Fang Zhengzhi dashed towards Yun Qingwu, Monster Emperor Baizhi had broken through all the attacks and hurled all her nine fox tails towards Fang Zhengzhi.
Mu Qingfeng and Mo Shanshi was unable to stop all nine fox tails, hence Fang Zhengzhi was unable to advance close enough to Yun Qingwu.
Of course, all of these were no longer important. Regardless of whether Fang Zhengzhi was trapped by the fox tail of Monster Emperor Baizhi, it was impossible for him to stop Yun Qingwu.
“What are in those two doors?” Fang Zhengzhi did not immediately break away from the fox tail on his right leg. Instead, he looked at Yun Qingwu who was standing ten steps away and asked.
“The powerful men of the monster race and demon race.” Yun Qingwu looked at Fang Zhengzhi with an expression as calm as water. She did not have the intention to hide the truth.
“From the Yan Huang era?”
“Yes.” Yun Qingwu nodded.
“Powerful men from thousands of years ago, how are you certain that all of them are still alive?” Fang Zhengzhi could not understand.
“No, in fact, some of them had died long ago. I have said earlier on, those who survived till now are really the most powerful.”
“Longevity?” Fang Zhengzhi asked again.
“From my knowledge, almost everyone with longevity,,, died too,” Yun Qingwu replied after a short pause.
“Then how are you certain that some powerful men are still alive?”
“Seal.”
“Seal?”
“Yes, after the natural disaster, Mother Earth sealed all of them after knowing that she could not bring them back.”
“So this two doors are connected to the other two worlds that had been sealed?” Fang Zhengzhi guessed.
“No, it’s connected to the same world.” Yun Qingwu shook her head.
“The same world?” Fang Zhengzhi was slightly confused.
“To be exact, it is the galaxy outside this world. You should have seen how the galaxy looks like,” Yun Qingwu replied calmly.
“You mean the starry sky with black chains and meteorites?”
“Meteorites?” Yun Qingwu did not seem to understand what Fang Zhengzhi meant. However, she did not probe further and continued. “When natural disaster struck, Mother Earth used all of the skills she had to refine 36,500 pieces of ‘heavenly gemstones’ to prevent natural disaster from striking, and refined the black metals that landed with the natural disaster to connect with the ‘spirit chain’. The galaxy was the place that the most powerful of the two races were sealed.”
36,500 pieces of heavenly gemstones!
Fang Zhengzhi was slightly shocked. This story was almost identical to the mythical story of how Nüwa had created heavenly gemstones to mend the sky.
How could it be so coincidental?
Fang Zhengzhi did not dwell over it as it was not the time to do so. He had an important question. “Wait a minute, how do you know I had seen the galaxy before?”
“Haha…” Yun Qingwu smiled. Her calm expression finally became a joyful one and she looked as beautiful as a blooming flower. After smiling, she said, “Actually, when you entered the Holy Region, or in other words, when you left the Northern Mountain Village, I knew that you would see the galaxy.”
“So you are making use of me?” Fang Zhengzhi trembled when he heard this and a ray of light flashed past his eyes.
“Not exactly. I had known about the plans of the Nangong family, which includes a critical point about capturing Chi Guyan. For you to enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion, you would definitely be caught in the plans of the Nangong family and therefore see the galaxy.”Yun Qingwu replied with confidence, “However, if you want to blame me for making use of you, I made use of you when I gave you the ‘black box’.”
“Black box? The box that contained the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?” Fang Zhengzhi frowned.
“A black box… is not necessarily needed for the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet. The Vast World on your body could contain the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet too. The black box’s use was to detect the presence of the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet and merging them to form the Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven,” Yun Qingwu explained.
“To detect the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet? Merge to form the Thirty-six Maps of Access to Heaven.. So the ‘Nine Heavens’ incident I encountered at the Heaven Book Pond was because of your doing?”
“That’s right. If you participated in the test of Heaven Dao Pavilion, you would end up with two outcomes: pass or fail. If you passed, you would enter the Heaven Book Pond. If not, I think… With Chi Guyan’s authority in Heaven Dao Pavilion, she would try her best to let you enter the Heaven Book Lake!”
“So it was you… you!” Fang Zhengzhi gritted his teeth. “Do you know that the Heaven Dao Pavilion had came after me because I ruined the Heaven Book Pond, and that resulted in Yan Xiu becoming a Fallen Asura, causing him to lose his memory of me till date!”
“This was an accident. The incident of you exchanging your life for Yan Xiu’s, how you were throw into the Middle Stream Cauldron, these were not in my plan. In fact, my initial plan was…”
Crack! At this moment, a loud sound from the sky disrupted Yun Qingwu’s sentence.
The vibrations of the green and black door also stopped completely.
It was a moment of calmness.
Then, the light pillar shining on the two doors also vanished, as though it was completely swallowed by the two doors.
Boom! After the moment of calmness, the ground shook.
A strong and dark ancient aura descended from the sky, causing some of the weaker disciples to get on their knees, each one of them sweating profusely, as though they were repressed by a superior force from above.
“Hahaha… A world where the strongest wins?! I shall see who is the strongest one in this world!”Monster Emperor Baizhi;s laughter could be heard.
From her tone, Monster Emperor Baizhi was extremely happy. She laughed hysterically and her laughter resonated through the air, mixing in with the rumbles of the ground.
“Why aren’t you smiling? Your plan has succeeded, no?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yun Qingwu who gave a more chilling look than before.
“Why must I smile when my plans succeed?” Yun Qingwu’s body shook as though she felt the intense coldness in Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes. Yet, she recovered soon, though she had an oddly complex look in her eyes and compared to Monster Emperor Baizhi, she was not excited or happy at all.
“Shouldn’t you be happy when the most powerful of the monster race and demon race arrive?” Fang Zhengzhi clenched his left fist while the Traceless Sword on his right hand moved.
“Sometimes it does not matter whether I am happy or not. More importantly, you would not be given a second option due to your identity and mission. If you were me, you would react the same way.”
“Really?”
“Definitely!”
“Yun Qingwu, what makes you so sure!” A chilling look flashed across Fang Zhengzhi’s face and his traceless sword glowed with a bright purple light, emitting sharp and loud tweets.
“Even if you killed me, I would make sure you made the same choices as I did!”
“Then I shall kill you!”
“You cannot kill me anymore. Not now, not ever!” Yun Qingwu stepped forward abruptly with an extremely confidence expression on her beautiful face. “However, since I made use of you, I shall give you a chance. If you really want to kill me, we can take a bet!”
“A bet? What bet?”
“Don’t you always say how you like to live a calm and peaceful life and did not want to bother about what is happening in the world? I shall give you this chance, but I will bet you can’t live with it past two years!”
“Two years?”
“Yes, if you are able to live with that life for two years, I, Yun Qingwu, would let you slaughter me as you wish and not fight back, not even give a single frown!”
“Alright, I’ll bet with you, but I have one condition!”
“What condition?”
“You would be able to leave this place alive!” Following Fang Zhengzhi’s words, his right leg trembled violently.
Instantaneously, Fang Zhengzhi’s right leg seemed to have disappeared, it was an effect caused by the extremely fast vibrations.
Besides his right leg, Monster Emperor Baizhi’s giant white fox tail also started to tremble violently.
Then…
Fang Zhengzhi began to move.
He descended from the sky and was freed from the restrains of the white fox tail. He dashed towards Yun Qingwu with an extremely fast speed and the traceless sword in his hands gave an ear-piercing tweet.
Humm! This was a sound of extreme excitment, as though the peaceful vast ocean was suddenly attacked by a tornado that caused a terrifying tsunami.
“What?!” Monster Emperor Baizhi’s laughter stopped. She evidently could not believe how Fang Zhengzhi escaped from her fox tail with such a method.
She wanted to stop him.
However, Fang Zhengzhi was way too fast for her to stop in front of Fang Zhengzhi or use her fox tail to stop him.
Despite that, the ten elders of the demon race could stop him.
The ten elders of the demon race had always been guarding by Yun Qingwu’s side. Like shadows, they followed every single step that Yun Qingwu took without any lax.
Fang Zhengzhi had escaped Monster Emperor Baizhi’s fox tail with an amazing speed.
But the ten elders of the demon race also reacted equally quickly. Although they did not speak, they had overheard Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu’s conversation.
Therefore, they were prepared.
“Fang Zhengzhi, you won’t be able to harm our lord!” Letting out a roar in unison, the ten elders of the demon race’s black cloak flew.
“Whoever who blocks me shall die!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes changed to an evil purple. With an intense killing intent, he exerted a force from the top to the bottom like an ocean.
He had always took the incident that happened in the Nine Heavens to heart. He had always wondered why the ‘Ninth Heaven’ had collapsed when he stepped into the Heaven Book Pond.
If the Ninth Heavens had not collapsed, if the Heaven Book Pond had not been destroyed, Fang Zhengzhi could have left the Heaven Dao Pavilion in ease and did not have to end up running away or being chased by the members of the Heaven Dao Pavilion from the top of the Sword Peak to the lake at the bottom of the Sword Peak.
Similarly, if he had not been chased after by the Heaven Dao Pavilion…
How would the three Sages of the Black Moon Island and two others force Yan Xiu to become a Fallen Asura?
In reality, he had made plans at the bottom of the mountain of Heaven Dao Pavilion. Although he was not aware of the power of the Shadow Sect, he had informed Wu Yuer and the members of the Shadow Sect to wait for his ‘grand arrival’ below the mountain of the Heaven Dao Pavilion everyday.
However, things happened too quickly. Nobody predicted that the ‘Ninth Heaven’ would collapse suddenly and damage the Heaven Book Pond.
Yet now, he seemed to have understood. No matter what choice he had made then, no matte whether he had passed or failed the test of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, he would definitely have entered the Heaven Book Pond and step into the trap of Yun Qingwu.
Being chased after…
Then living like a rat in the sewers in the Holy Region!
