    She wasn’t kidding.


    Fang Zhengzhi had ced a little hope on Ping Yang, thinking that she could get him out. However, it seemed like she and Qian Yu were partners in crime now.


    “What should I do?”


    “Should I force my way out? But, I don’t know where to start! Having said that, if I don’t force my way out, I can’t possibly wait for them toe back, right?”


    Most importantly, he faced the same problem even if he waited for them to return. He wouldn’t be released if he didn’t agree to marrying Ping Yang.


    “Ai... I wonder how Yan Xiu is doing now?” Is he dead or alive?” Fang Zhengzhi sighed. Then, he dug a small hole on the ground and made a simple stove with two rocks. He cut a piece of meat from the two gigantic drumsticks and started roasting it.


    After travelling over several dozen miles over the past two days, he was hungry.


    The meat started to exude its fragrance thanks to the fire, and Fang Zhengzhi’s stomach growl from hunger.


    After eating the meat and drinking a little fruit liquor, he burped andy down on the ground. Using a rock as a pillow, he started taking a nap.


    The sunlight was warm.


    Ling Yun Realm’s sceneries were hugely impressive. There were mountains, rivers, trees, and flowers. Even though Fang Zhengzhi grew up in a vige, he had to admit that the scenery here was incredibly beautiful.


    “Wait a minute!”


    “The scenery... Is beautiful?”


    Fang Zhengzhi suddenly opened his eyes. He did learn something from the adventure at Ling Yun Tower. At the very least, his understanding of ‘Dao’ had reached a new level.


    Speaking of ‘Dao’, Fang Zhengzhi started recalling the fight between him and Ling Yun Tower’s disciples and Qian Ye.


    He could still vividly remember Ling Yun Tower’s disciples’ extraordinary idea and technique. They actually made use of the theory of sound pulse to synchronize their Dao.


    Apart from that... It was the orb that Qian Ye’s squashed.


    An independent Mountain River World!


    Fang Zhengzhi felt a connection between the orb and Ling Yun Realm, as if they were closely rted.


    Fusion?


    Fusing multiple Dao techniques together to create something that was even more powerful?


    Fang Zhengzhi knew how to do that. After all, his ck armour of a product of the fusion of Dao techniques. However, he felt that this wasn’t enough to exin the Mountain River World that Qian Ye had created, or the Ling Yun Realm.


    It wasn’t just fusion...


    If it was merely fusion, there would still be a barrier between two Dao techniques.


    It was just like forcing two rocks together. Even though their power would improve, it was only to a limited extent. If the force was too strong, the rocks would break apart.


    However, that wouldn’t be the case if it was an entire rock.


    “Wait a minute.”


    “An entire rock?”


    “That’s it!”


    If he had to find a way to describe Ling Yun Tower’s attack and Qian Ye’s Mountain River World, it was like those Dao techniques had be one.


    “Be one?”


    “That’s it. It’s bing one!”


    Combining all the Dao techniques into a single one and thereby creating a new Dao technique...


    “Wait, it’s incorrect to call it a new Dao technique... Because there are 3000 Great Dao techniques, but there are over billions ofmon Dao techniques. The correct exnation is that tens of thousands ofmon Dao techniques couldbine and be one Great Dao technique.”


    “I knew it, so that’s how it works!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up as he had discovered something new.


    He used to believe that he could be stronger byprehending more Dao techniques. He would try toprehend several Dao techniques every day, and slowly umte them over time.


    However, that was too slow after all.


    Most importantly, he didn’t get many chances to use the majority of Dao techniques that he hadprehended, such as the average fire, wind, or rock Dao techniques.


    After he hadprehended these Dao techniques, he hadn’t used them at all. They weren’t useful apart from the fact that they improved his strength by a tiny bit.


    He felt like a tycoon who had a lot of money. However, he didn’t know how to spend the money, or use them to create more money, like how a snowball gets bigger as it goes down the slope. In fact, he wasn’t doing anything with the majority of his money.


    That was Fang Zhengzhi’s current state.


    However, if he couldbine multiple Dao techniques and turn them into one Dao technique, he would be able to solve that problem. He could start bybining a fewmon Dao techniques into a Great Dao technique. Then, he couldbine a few Great Dao techniques into a Supreme Dao technique. If he continued to do that, he couldbine all the Dao techniques into one Ultimate Dao technique.


    In that case... There was a problem.


    What should he name the Ultimate Dao technique?


    He didn’t know, and he didn’t care... That was because he still had a long way to go before he could achieve that.


    After all,bining and turning all the Dao techniques into one Dao would take countless attempts and explorations. However, he was certain that this was the right way to go!


    Moreover, after fighting against Ling Yun Tower’s disciples and Qian Ye, he understood two things. Firstly, the theory of sound pulse could synchronizebine Dao into one. Secondly, in order for them to be one, he needed to find a ‘origin’.


    In other words, he needed toe out with something like the ‘Dao of Nature’ in Qian Ye’s Mountain River World.


    ‘Origin’ was the core, and ‘sound pulse’ was the method. Once he knew that, it wouldn’t be difficult tobine many Dao techniques and turn them into a single Dao technique.


    As Fang Zhengzhi thought of that, his eyes glowed brighter, because he had just realised something more important, which was the final oue of bing one...


    It would produce something like the Mountain River World in Qian Ye’s golden orb, or even the Ling Yun Realm where he was imprisoned.


    Of course, these were just his guesses, and he couldn’t prove them with actual results yet.


    However, that had helped Fang Zhengzhi figure out a general direction... Which he had to work towards in order to escape Ling Yun Realm.


    In that case, which two Dao techniques should hebine first?


    Ice and Fire seemed great!


    If he couldbine two Dao techniques withpletely opposite properties, he might be able to recreate the legendary technique, ‘Paradise of Fire and Ice’!


    Fang Zhengzhi got excited just from thinking about it.


    He had always put his ideas to action right away. Moreover, since he had just eaten, he needed a channel to vent his energy.


    He summoned ice on his left hand. White, freezing air converged in his left hand and soon turned into an ice ke.


    Then, a fiery aura gathered in his right hand and turned into a ball of me almost instantly.


    Then, he began the process of ‘bing one’.


    Fang Zhengzhi closed his palms together and startedpressing the two different Dao techniques.


    Then... There was no then.


    That was because the me was jumping around due to the cold air, but Fang Zhengzhi was controlling the cold air with all his might so that the ice ke wouldn’t melt. In that case, the result was pretty obvious.


    There was an explosion!


    The ice ke blew up due to the intense heat and sted towards his face. If Fang Zhengzhi didn’t react in time, he would have been disfigured.


    “I knew it. There is a gap between dream and reality after all. I need to stop thinking about recreating ‘Paradise of Fire and Ice’ for the moment.”


    Fang Zhengzhi didn’t give up. He simply decided to start from something easier and get use to this process before attempting the tougher projects.


    Fang Zhengzhi became serious as he thought of it. If thebination of wind and water can be ice, what about thebination of fire and rock? Magma?


    Actually, apart from these ideas, there was a huge number of possibilities.


    While Fang Zhengzhi was thinking of different possiblebinations, he also began attempting. He started off bybining two different Dao techniques, and slowly made his way up to three, four, and five different Dao techniques, and so on and so forth...


    He also figured out some principles very quickly. For example, by using ‘Dao of the Five Elements’ as the origin, he could sessfullybine metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. By using ‘Dao of Yin and Yang’ as the origin, he couldbine Dao techniques like heat and coldness or light and darkness.


    After his first sessful attempt, his second attempt was much faster. In addition, he also understood more about the rtionship between Great Dao techniques andmon Dao techniques.


    Most of the time, a Great Dao technique was the origin of themon Dao techniques. Although there seemed to be no rtionship between many differentmon Dao techniques, they actually shared the same origin.


    It was their origins that connected the differentmon Dao techniques together.


    Sess breeds sess.


    After ten consecutive sessful attempts, Fang Zhengzhi came up with a bold idea, which wasbining multiple Great Dao techniques and turning them into one Dao technique.


    To put it more bluntly, he wanted to create a brand-new move bybining multiple Great Dao technique, and that would be his unique creation.


    As the saying went, ‘You aren’t a teenager if you aren’t crazy enough’.


    Although Fang Zhengzhi was too old to be a teenager as he was already a young man, he was afraid how crazy he could actually get.


    “It’s all or nothing! If I die, so be it!” Fang Zhengzhi roared inside Ling Yun Realm,


    following which, a dazzling radiance lit up the sky.


    ...


    15 dayster.


    Holy Region, Heaven Zen Mountain.


    Aspared to 15 days ago, Heaven Zen Mountain was much quieter now. At the very least, there weren’t any enormous and ferocious birds flying in the sky anymore. There were obviously much fewer beasts roaming in the jungles too, especially during the day, when people could hardly hear them roaring anymore.


    However, there was an unerasable scent of blood in the mountain now.


    Thousands of beasts had died because of the Heaven Alliance Meeting.


    As rulers of the world, humans had absolute control. In that case, those beasts that dared to stand in their way, had to choose between banishment and death.


    This was the harsh reality.


    Luckily, the disciples who were tasked with ‘cleaning up’ the jungles didn’t overdo it and destroy the jungles. The spring water was still fragrant, and the seven-coloured light was still visible amidst the clouds.


    Heaven’s Peak, the location of the Heaven Alliance Meeting, was already full of people. The armies of the four great dynasties were here, as they were in charge of the discipline and order of the meeting. The disciples from all kinds of sects had also gathered here. Some were carrying swords on their backs, while some held sabres in their hands.


    Of course, the five sects of Holy Region were seated at a different location from the other sects. They each took up the space between the five stone statues respectively.


    As the organizer of this meeting, Heaven Dao Alliance was the first to arrive. Since Fu Xi Valley was just nearby, their people also arrived pretty early.


    Apart from them, Yin Yang Hall was the only sect that came on time.


    However, unlike Heaven Dao Pavilion and Fu Xi Valley, there wasn’t only a single person sitting at the front of Yin Yang Hall. Instead, there were two chairs standing by side by side.


    The person on the left was dressed in both ck and white and wearing a mask that covered his face. The person on the right wore a green dress and a bamboo hat with a white veil.


    No one could see their faces clearly, but no one doubted their identities.


    This was because almost everyone knew that the person on the left was Yin Yang Hall’s Hall Master, Dao Hun, and the person on the right was Dao Xin.


    However, the person standing beside them caught everyone’s attention instead.


    That was because he was sitting right behind Dao Hun and Dao Xin.


    In other words, he was sitting in front of Yin Yang Hall’s elders.


    It would be impossible for the other sects to remain indifferent to this seating arrangement, because the seat often depicted one’s position after all.


    However... The person sitting behind Dao Hun and Dao Xin didn’t reveal his face either. He was wearing a mask too.


    The mask was both ck and white and shaped like the Yin Yang symbol. It seemed a little creepy, especially those pitch-ck eyes that could be seen through the mask, which looked like bottomless pits.


    “Who is that?”


    “He’s actually sitting behind Dao Hun and Dao Xin. Furthermore, it seems like Yin Yang Hall’s elders are ok with that.”


    “This is strange, I don’t think such a person existed... In Yin Yang Hall? Did Yin Yang Halle across a godsend opportunity recently?”


    Everyone was guessing internally while they discussed softly. However, no one dared to ask about that person’s identity, because they were just the disciples of some small sects after all. If even the other sects of Holy Region had kept quiet, how could they possibly have the guts to ask about it?
