Gate of God

Creating trouble for oneself was a fatal mistake!

Fang Zhengzhi sensed the truth in this statement, but he still could not understand how was his attempt at delivering the ’final blow’ was tantamount to creating trouble.

Of course, there was no medicine to cure regret, not even in this world.

Fang Zhengzhi realized that even if he wanted to run, he had no chance of doing so. The attractive force was much larger than what he had expected.

At this moment, he finally understood why did Tian Xing not dodge when he punched his face.

The attractive force was pulling at him like a huge hand. Fang Zhengzhi had no choice but to drop his pretenses as he wrapped his foot around a human-shaped sculpture to the right of the Green Rock Door.

"Fang Zhengzhi!" Chi Guyan’s voice rang out. She acted quickly and a huge shadow flashed past as a snake tail coiled around Fang Zhengzhi.

At the same time...

She tapped the Green Rock Door with her finger.

"Boom!" A huge explosion rang out. The Green Rock Door trembled as if it had been dealt a terrible blow.

"Quick, close the Green Rock Door!" As Mu Qingfeng spoke, he struck it with his palm again.

The disciples around him reacted instantly. Right now, they had to save Fang Zhengzhi and the only way to do so was to close the Green Rock Door.

Fang Zhengzhi was touched.

It turned out that there were people in this world who did not want him dead. Of course, while he was touched, he was also slightly depressed.

He was not depressed because he was about to be sucked in.

Instead, a meteor, caught in the cosmic tempest, was flying straight for him. Furthermore, it seemed to be accelerating. Its target was his handsome face.

"Never hit someone on his face, don’t you know that?" Fang Zhengzhi felt that no matter what difficulty he faced, he could not allow a rock to hit his face.

However, he could not move.

Other than his leg, which was wrapped firmly around the human-shaped statue, his entire boy was immobile.

There was nothing he could do.

He could only retreat and pray for luck.

As the meteor approached him, Fang Zhengzhi bit down on his teeth. He lowered his head as he prepared to head-butt it.

"Boom!"

Instantly, stars flew in front of Fang Zhengzhi. Every single star spun in front of him non-stop. They seemed to be dancing in joy.

Then, he felt his world dim.

The moment it turned black, Fang Zhengzhi saw a figure. The figure stood inside the Green Rock Door and was floating in the middle of the starry sky.

Of course, there was a pair of eyes.

A pair of golden eyes.

"Kaboom!" Just as Fang Zhengzhi stared at the pair of golden eyes, he suddenly felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his soul.

Then...

Everything went black. He felt as if someone was hugging one warmly. He smelt a faint, delightful fragrance.

...

Fang Zhengzhi was dreaming.

It was a very long dream. In the dream, he saw a huge crack in the sky. Countless stars fell out from the crack, turning into meteors as they bombarded the earth.

There were many odd beasts, most of which had colorful armors and terrifying faces. Their eyes were blood-red and their teeth were razor-sharp.

Blood, fire, water...

They all swept the earth.

It was a catastrophe, a true catastrophe. Intense flames scorched the earth, burning away trees and blackening the tops of mountains. Countless demonic beings appeared from the fire, killing mankind.

Just when mankind was approaching extinction, a figure appeared in the air. Her hair was like a waterfall and she wore snow-white robes. She descended as if she was the sovereign of all creations.

It was a woman.

Her bottom-half was not that of a snake. Instead, she was bare-footed.

Behind the woman, there were countless figures. They enveloped the sky and the earth. Multicolored light shone from their bodies.

Under the leadership of the woman, these people rushed into the huge tear in the sky. All of them had resolute expressions on their faces...

...

He woke up and in front of Fang Zhengzhi, there stood another woman too. The woman’s back was facing him. She stood near the window and her pink robes brushed against the clean, wooden floor.

Warm sunlight streamed in through the window, casting long shadows of the two purple flowers on the windowsill and of the woman.

It was a beautiful sight.

At the very least, Fang Zhengzhi felt his spirit soar. However, his head still throbbed in pain. That was the only problem right now.

"Are you awake?" The woman turned around slowly. Her eyebrows were elegant and her eyes were bright. Her lips were as tender as the petals of a flower.

She no longer exuded a cold, untouchable aura. Right now, Chi Guyan was extremely calm. She was like the surface of an emerald-green lake.

"Yes, where is this place?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head. He took in his surroundings. He realized that he was in a wooden house. It was very quiet and simple.

Other than a table and two chairs, and the many flowers and plants that were outside the house, one could not find anything else in it.

"Heaven Dao Pavilion, where I live," replied Chi Guyan as she walked in front of the table. Then, she lifted the tea kettle and poured water into a wooden cup. She slowly walked to the bed where Fang Zhengzhi lay and passed the cup of water to him, saying, "Flower tea, I brewed it myself."

"You live here?" Fang Zhengzhi took the cup of flower tea from Fang Zhengzhi. He took a look and realized that the flowers in the tea were slowly opening up. They were extremely bright and gave off a slight fragrance.

He brought it to his mouth and drank it slowly. As he drank, he felt as refreshed as he would be if he stepped into a river. A faint fragrance started to spread all over his tongue.

"Yes," replied Chi Guyan as she nodded her head.

"How’s Yan Xiu?" Just when Fang Zhengzhi was about to stand up from the bed, he realized that he was naked. Helplessly, he retreated back into the blankets.

"He woke up ten days ago. Master wanted to take him in as a disciple, but he refused." Chi Guyan seemed to have anticipated this question as she replied straight away.

"Refused? Why... Wait a minute, you said ten days ago?!" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly confused. Quickly, he reacted to this shocking news. He leaped off the bed immediately.

Ten days....

"Have I been unconscious for ten days?!"

Just when he was about to ask another question, he realized that there was something amiss with Chi Guyan’s gaze. While she was still calm, her face blushed visibly.

She was as red as a rising sun.

"..."

"Wait a minute, I’m not wearing anything!"

...

Fang Zhengzhi seemed ill-prepared to accept this fact. He had been unconscious in the Heaven Dao Pavilion for half a month.

Of course, this was not something which made him happy.

He slept for half a month.

This meant that he still had three and a half months to live. Furthermore, this was assuming that nothing extraordinary would happen.

However, no one knew if he could live until the last day of these three and a half months.

"I must go, where’s Mu Qingfeng? He promised me something. Before I go, I want to meet him!" Fang Zhengzhi said.

"Master is slightly injured. It’ll be at least half a month more before he exits seclusion," said Chi Guyan. Here, she paused for a while before she continued, "However, I’ve raised your request to him. You can spend one month in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. In this one month, you’ll have the rights of an elder. You can enter anywhere an elder can enter, including the Repository and the Divine Rain Pond. Furthermore, you are granted one bottle of ’Heaven Soul Pills’, a token of a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, a Wind-Breaking Armor, a Snow Wind Eagle, and also..."

"Are you betraying the Heaven Dao Pavilion?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan. He suddenly felt that if she wanted to be shameless, she could be more shameless than him.

Let’s not even talk about the rights of an elder, which was a massive privilege, the rights to enter the Divine Rain Pond, the Wind-Breaking Armor, a Snow Wind Eagle, a bottle of Heaven Soul Pills were already incredible.

For some of these items, he did not even know their names. Most importantly, Chi Guyan helped him obtain a token of a Heaven Soul Pavilion disciple.

Of course, one could maximize one’s request when negotiating with a crafty old fox like Mu Qingfeng if one had a ’spy’ like Chi Guyan.

"You have already used up half of this one month. In the remaining half, you can visit the Repository. After half a month, when master exits seclusion, you can visit the Divine Rain Pond with me," Chi Guyan did not answer Fang Zhengzhi’s question but instead continued speaking.

"Divine Rain Pond?" Fang Zhengzhi blinked.

"Yes, every single disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, upon reaching the Rebirth State, will have a chance to enter the Divine Rain Pond. The so-called ’divine rain’ is a type of dew forged from 999 different types of precious plants and herbs. When you enter the Divine Rain Pond, you can drink the dew water and bathe in it. Then, you will see the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration," explained Chi Guyan.

"The Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration?" Fang Zhengzhi blinked.

Of course, he had to blink. If he ended up asking what was the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration, it would be slightly shameful.

"That’s right. Each illustration represents a heaven. In the history of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, 49 people were able to reach the Seventh Heaven, seven people were able to reach the Eighth Heaven, and only one person was able to reach the Ninth Heaven," explained Chi Guyan once more.

"Do you know... which heaven did Nangong Hao reach?" Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head. Suddenly, a figure entered his mind.

"The Eighth Heaven," replied Chi Guyan without even thinking.

"In the history of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, only seven people reached the Eighth Heaven, and Nangong Hao was one of them?" Fang Zhengzhi’s heart trembled. Then, a powerful emotion rose in his heart.

Of course, the Green Rock Door was closed. Furthermore, it had been personally sealed by a formation illustration cast by Gu Yuan, the Elder of the Fu Xi Valley, personally. However, when he heard that Nangong Hao was able to reach the Eighth Heaven, an odd feeling rose in his heart.

Nangong Hao...

He may not be dead!

"Nangong Mu had left the Heaven Dao Pavilion," said Chi Guyan. When she noticed that Fang Zhengzhi was silent, she slowly walked back to the windowsill.

"Okay," replied Fang Zhengzhi with a nod.

He guessed that Nangong Mu had left. After all, after the incident with Nangong Hao, there was no way Nangong Mu could remain in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

"Before he left, he said something," said Chi Guyan once again.

"Oh? Did he say where he’s going?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan. He guessed that Nangong Mu probably left an address for him.

"No, these words are meant for Yan Qing," said Chi Guyan as she shook her head.

"Eh?" Fang Zhengzhi was curious.

"Nangong Mu said that you once defeated him. He told Yan Qing that he was not your opponent," said Chi Guyan. As she finished, starlight flashed in her bright eyes.

"..." Fang Zhengzhi’s lips twitched. At this moment, he did not know what to say.

He felt that in this world, there was no true good fellow. "We’re friends! What about friendship? Does this mean our friendship is over?"

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Yan Qing had been waiting for you underneath the big tree in the yard. He waited for more than half a month." As Chi Guyan said this, her mouth twitched as a smile crept across her face. It was like a flower that had finally blossomed.
