Chapter 252: Growth and life

Fang Zhengzhi had a dream to view the mountains and rivers from a height. Then, he would break through the air and leave behind a wonderful legacy.

Right now...

His dream seemed to be coming true.

Fang Zhengzhi looked down and saw luscious green woods. It was a mountain, and there were tall trees, large rocks, creeks, flora, and fauna...

He could see the valley.

He did not know if he was seeing it all in one glance, but he could feel the life in every flower, every blade of gra.s.s, and every beast.

The flowers were in full bloom, the gra.s.s was growing healthily, and the beasts roamed the woods.

”Cang Ling Mountain?!”

Fang Zhengzhi knew that this was definitely Cang Ling Mountain. Even though he had never viewed it from such a height, he recognized the layout.

Furthermore, he felt things that he had never felt before. He could feel the entire lives of the living things below him. He felt the lives of the flowers, the gra.s.s, and the beasts.

This was a strange feeling. It felt as if everything was being returned to its original state.

He felt a little empty inside.

Fang Zhengzhi was intoxicated. He couldn’t believe his eyes. Was he really going to become a sage? He wasn’t ready yet, isn’t this all a little too fast?

Just as he was thinking about it, Fang Zhengzhi saw a pair of eyes.

The eyes slowly, almost as if waking up from a deep sleep. However, when they looked towards Fang Zhengzhi...

Fang Zhengzhi felt impending danger. His heart trembled for the first time as he felt an overwhelming sense of loss.

Iciness, arrogance, power, master...

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea why these phrases were popping up in his mind, but there they were.

He thought about those words when that pair of golden eyes stared at him.

”Kaboom!”

A loud boom caused the entire mountain to tremble.

A peerlessly large figure rose from the ground following the tremors. He could not see the appearance of the figure. It was constantly shrouded by a black screen.

The only thing he could see were the pair of golden eyes. There was a faint glow around the eyes, almost like the reflection from one’s armor.

Then, a bolt of black lightning shot down from the sky, hitting Fang Zhengzhi on the head. It did not give him any chance to resist.

”F*ck... me! Again?!”

Fang Zhengzhi’s patience was wearing thin. How can you strike me with lightning so many times?

I thought I was supposed to be a sage?

Everything should revolve around me and blossom in my presence.

Why am I being struck by lightning twice?

Just as Fang Zhengzhi was about to curse, he swallowed his words. Once again, he felt as if he was in the air once again. However, this time, there was nothing supporting him.

Gravity caused his body to plummet downwards.

”There is no lake below?!”

Fang Zhengzhi was trying to figure out what was happening. However, there was no lake below, there were only rocks on a mountain.

”Boom!”

Ordinarily, free falling from such a height would cause one to break their limbs at the very least.

However, this was no ordinary incident.

”Liar!” Fang Zhengzhi rubbed his b.u.t.tocks as he looked at the crater he had created. He was infuriated.

He had clearly been travelling in the air. He had clearly seen the mountains and the rivers. However, when he opened his eyes, he realized that he was back at the same spot.

No one could have accepted that!

Where was the trust between people? How was he going to make friends in the future?

”I think I have improved?” Fang Zhengzhi recalled his connection to the myriad of items during his travel. That was a mysterious feeling, almost as if he had touched something.

However, once he fell, the only feeling he felt was pain. He had completely forgotten about the connection.

”Oh?”

Fang Zhengzhi suddenly saw a small stone house by the side. If not for the fact that he had landed here, he would not have seen it.

A stone house.

It was all too common in the mountains.

All of the villages around here lived off the land. Each village had their own hunting squad, and these squads scaled the mountain frequently. A simple stone house was a necessity.

It was used as a resting spot for the hunters. After all, no one could guarantee that the hunting squad would not meet with any difficulties. There could be torrential rain, snow, landslides...

Ordinarily, each village would only use the stone houses they constructed. They would only enter another stone house under some extenuating circ.u.mstances.

That was the tacit understanding between villages.

However, this was clearly not the time to honor such an understanding. Even if Fang Zhengzhi had left the lake, he should still be in The Vast World.

The Vast World had absorbed Cang Ling Mountain.

This position...

Was clearly at the base of Cang Ling Mountain!

”I’ve come out of The Vast World?”

”Or is this just another place?”

Fang Zhengzhi was not too sure of where he was. As such, he decided to investigate.

The stone house ahead was naturally his first objective. After all, maybe he could find some ointment inside the house to treat his aches after the fall!

”Is there anyone home?”

”If you’re doing unspeakable things inside, just call out!”

Fang Zhengzhi politely announced his presence. The villagers may be backward, but some of them still engaged in activities that would be better unsaid.

For example, outdoor s.e.x, cheating...

The stone houses in the mountains were the perfect place for an escapade like that.

Fang Zhengzhi knew this all too well. In order to prevent an embarra.s.sing scenario, he had better announce his presence. There was no reply.

He pushed the door and tried to enter.

When he did push it...

He realized that the door was locked.

”There’s someone inside?” Fang Zhengzhi was stunned. He was sure that someone was inside. If not, why would the door be bolted?

But if there was someone, why didn’t they reply? Were they really doing unspeakable things inside?

Furthermore...

If this was still The Vast World, why would there be other people?
