Chapter 215: The Vast Lake


    Trantor: Sparrow Trantions Editor: Sparrow Trantions


    The schrs in the Great Xia Dynasty had a lot of opinions about Yun Qingwu.


    Song, dance, poetic essays and the four arts, she was proficient and knowledgeable about all of them. But, she was a miraculous woman. However, she was a woman with a veil. There was almost nobody who had ever seen Yun Qingwu’s face.


    Until Fang Zhengzhi appeared.


    In the Huai An County, during the Hundred Flower Gathering, Fang Zhengzhi unveiled Yun Qingwu in one move.


    Afterwards, he entered Yun Qingwu’s boat at the riverside of the River of Trust, gaining the reputation of a lecher.


    Fang Zhengzhi had asked Yun Qingwu a question in the boat, asking whether she was an influential figure. At that time, Yun Qingwu only said one sentence.


    "My surname is Yun!"


    In reality, her surname was really Yun. Because, the Demon Lord who controlled the Ten Devilish Domains also had the surname Yun.


    Yun Qingwu, a person without any influence, bringing along only a group of maidservants, travelling about the various capitals and cities alone. Who would ever think that she was actually the young lord of the demon race?


    However, this was the miraculous woman pursued by schrs all over the world despite never having seen her face, a person who nobody dared to offend. Who could she be if not the young lord of the demon race?


    The situation...


    Finally descended into chaos from this moment onwards.


    ...


    Within the World of the Sage, The expression in Ying Shan’s eyes carried a sense of yearning. It was a yearning for the past, and it is this very yearning that gave him an unwavering determination in his heart.


    He had toplete this task.


    Because...


    This was recognition.


    How many times would a demon even be recognised in his entire life?


    "Kill!" The ck light on Ying Shan’s body congregatedpletely at this hands, carrying a vast and powerful air of death as it pushed towards the golden waterfall that descended from the skies.


    The golden waterfall crashed down.


    Without dodging, surging forward rapidly, the golden tip of the sword concealed itself within the waterfall. It was faintly discernible.


    In reality, Fang Zhengzhi could afford to hide behind the crowd of people.


    Over ten people...


    Even if Ying Shan was able to kill each of them in one strike of the palm, he ultimately still required some time.


    The longer time was dyed, the higher Fang Zhengzhi’s chance of living.


    Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t the Holy Mother, he didn’t have the great ambition of protecting the world, nor did he possess the sense of righteousness to rescue the human race from disaster. However, with a group of people blocked in front of him.


    Who were willing to block off the fatal blows for him, one following another.


    How could he continue to hide behind?


    This wasn’t the Holy Mother, nor was this ambition and righteousness. This was the pride of a man, especially when there was a woman who was about to faint falling to the ground in front of him.


    Even though he didn’t really like this woman.


    But she was ultimately...


    Still a woman.


    How could a man allow a woman to block in front of him?


    "Die!" Fang Zhengzhi knew he couldn’t defeat Ying Shan. However, he had to try. Even if he had topletely let out all the energy he had in his pocket dimension, he still had to try.


    A sword shed down!


    The golden light exploded outwards.


    The waterfall that fell from the skies seemed to have found an avenue to escape at this moment. The golden rays of light crushed downpletely, mming together with a ink-ck palm.


    The light and the dark.


    The golden ray and the faint shadow.


    Twopletely different lights intersected.


    Fang Zhengzhi fixed his gaze tightly on Ying Shan below him.


    Ying Shan also fixed his gaze tightly on the Fang Zhengzhi on top of his head.


    The four eyes met.


    Yet, their expressions werepletely the same. It contained determination, an unwavering determination. Both of them bit down hard on their lips. Fang Zhengzhi held the sword hilt in his hand.


    While Ying Shan held the sword de.


    "Boom!"


    A huge boom resounded. The golden light and the ck light exploded with the two people at the center. Countless rays of golden light that resembled swords and countless rays of ck shadow shot out in all directions.


    "Ah!" A examinee who wasn’t able to dodge in time was directly hit by the light. He grabbed his shoulder tightly. There was a wound on his shoulder, a wound that seemed to have been shed by a sword.


    Yet, the golden light and the ck shadow didn’t stop.


    Each of the examinees gritted their teeth. They wanted to dodge. However, the speed of the golden light was too fast. In addition to the initial injuries on their bodies, how hard it was to dodge could be imagined.


    However, after a huge mountain stood in front of the examinees.


    The situation seemed to have taken a turn.


    Very quickly...


    Green and blue rays lighted up at the same time, immersing itself within the huge mountain and turning into a gigantic territory that shielded the examinees within.


    Rays of golden lights and ck shadows crashed onto the territory, resounding with a rumbling sound.


    Regardless whether it was Nangong Mu or Yan Xiu, or even the heavily injured examinees hiding within, they could clearly feel the intensely sharp power contained within these rays.


    "How powerful!"


    "Why would it be so powerful?"


    The examinees couldn’t quite understand. How can a person who had just entered the Heavenly Reflection State be so strong? So strong that they were trembled, so strong that they were fearful.


    His power...


    Where did ite from?


    "It is concentration!" Nangong Mu’s lips parted slightly, gazing at Fang Zhengzhi who was bathing in the golden light.


    "Concentration?" The examinees were confused.


    "The two of them are both deep in concentration!" Yan Xiu also spoke. He didn’t choose tobine strength with Fang Zhengzhi at this moment. Because, he knew that anybody who was concentrating on a task wouldn’t wish for anybody to distract them.


    This was the trust between friends. It was also respect for a friend’s abilities.


    Fang Zhengzhi wanted to prevent Ying Shan from killing people, while Ying Shan swore to kill Fang Zhengzhi.


    Two different beliefs, yet, they both became a form of concentration.


    However, the difference in power was still unavoidable. This was reality, a reality that one had to face no matter what.


    Ying Shan had the power of the Supernatural Intermediate State. In addition to absorbing all the power of the demon eye, how could Fang Zhengzhi defeat the blow that Ying Shan had put all his strength in?


    The golden sword crashed with the ck shadow. A tremendous power crashed towards Fang Zhengzhi like a wave, endless and infinite.


    Fang Zhengzhi had never felt such a powerful force before. Even when he was faced with Chi Hou in the Divine Constabry, he never had such a feeling.


    It might had been because Chi Hou held back, or it might be due the amount of determination contained in this force.


    Regardless, Fang Zhengzhi had no way of preventing this force from entering him. The powerful force flowed from the de of the sword to the sword hilt, then forced itself into Fang Zhengzhi’s body through his arms and crushed towards his heart.


    Dao grew from the heart.


    The pocket dimension of the human race was located at the heart.


    If the heart faced an impact too powerful, the pocket dimension would also face a simr damage, and might even shatter and copse.


    Then...


    Even if the person didn’t die, he would still be a disabled man.


    Fang Zhengzhi knew this. However, that force was too strong. All he could do was to release all the power he had in the pocket dimension to oppose that force.


    However, in his previous full-force attack, he had already channeled the power in his pocket dimension. How would he have any leftover power?


    A lush green glow suddenly lighted up.


    Protecting Fang Zhengzhi’s heart like ayer of film.


    The force mmed into theyer of film, generating an intense tremor. The feeling caused Fang Zhengzhi to feel somewhat ufortable, agitating the blood and air in his body.


    However, that force didn’t enter into his heart.


    "What is it?"


    "Don’t tell me... it is the Heart Protection Mirror? The Heart Protection Mirror that Chi Guyan lost to him when he was leaving the Divine Constabry?" Fang Zhengzhi recalled the scene at the Divine Constabry.


    He suddenly had a feeling that Chi Guyan seemed to have lost to him on purpose...


    Other than being able to contain items, this Heart Protection Mirror seemed to actually be able to protect the heart?


    Fang Zhengzhi felt that his luck was rather good. At the very least, he seemed to have obtained a rather good treasure. However, the Heart Protection Mirror was able to protect one’s heart, but was unable to counter the force that entered his body.


    If it wasn’t able to defend against that force, the Heart Protection Mirror would be destroyed sooner orter.


    It was only a matter of time.


    Fang Zhengzhi didn’t know how much power his pocket dimension still contained. The previous attack had alreadypletely used up all the white mist in his pocket dimension.


    However, in his pocket dimension, there was a tree. That was a humongous tree that almost reached into the sky. On the tree, there werepletely lush green leaves, and various kinds of fruits.


    Below the tree, there was ake that was as vast as the sea.


    The water that fell from the huge tree, droplet by droplet, came together and formed a stream. Then, it formed a pond. And now, it was ake...


    Eight years ago...


    Fang Zhengzhi nted the heart of Dao in his heart by observing the Illustration of All Creation.


    After battling with the Blue Fire Wolf, he sessfully essed Dao, attaining Divine Seal, then Star Conglomerate. Each of these sesses came naturally.


    As for the rest of the time, he began to continue collecting stars. He collected stars continuously, one by one by one, causing hundreds of stars to fill his pocket dimension.


    These stars dripped water onto the earth below the tree.


    After ordinary people conglomerated stars, it was one droplet of water that fell to the ground. However, in Fang Zhengzhi’s case, hundreds of droplets of water fell to the ground. Naturally, ake formed within his pocket dimension.


    There was a time when Fang Zhengzhi felt that he could already rule the world.


    He depended on thiske, theke that was as vast as the sea. This had always been something he counted on, forming the source of his confidence.


    However, things that urred afterwards caused Fang Zhengzhi to change his view. He realised that enlightenment state might be more important. Hence, theke remained ake, waiting silently within his pocket dimension.


    It had never been used by Fang Zhengzhi before.


    However, the current circumstances seemed somewhat different. The white mist in the sky had beenpletely used up.


    Then, what was left?


    It was theke of course.


    Hence, theke began to roll, and began to boil. It was like a pot of boiling water. Threads of white mist rose from the middle of theke, quickly filling up the sky once again.


    Immediately after, the dense white fog shed together with the force that entered his body.


    There was no movement. There was no sound.


    However, when this white fog shed with the force that entered his body, Fang Zhengzhi felt somewhat dizzy and his limbs felt somewhat weak. He didn’t know if this was due to exhaustion.


    The only thing he could confirm was that the force entering his body hadn’tpletely disappeared.


    It continued to crash towards his heart.


    Then...


    He could only cause theke to boil once again, then, filling up the sky with white fog again.


    Once, twice, thrice...


    After the fourth sh, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly felt that his head wasn’t dizzy anymore. His limbs weren’t weak anymore either. Because, the force that entered his body had alreadypletely disappeared.
