1021 Straight Into Heavenly Yuan - A Bizarre Realm (1/2)

There were only three rounds between the position of the star and the Heavenly Yuan.

Fang Zhengzhi had now cleared the first round successfully. If everything went well, he could lead her straight into Heavenly Yuan in just two more correction choices.

'Straight into Heavenly Yuan…'

Yun Qingwu was a little stumped. When Fang Zhengzhi said that just a short while ago, she thought that he was about to do something shameless again.

However, she was truly stunned at this moment.

That was because Fang Zhengzhi had already proven to her that he did it. Moreover, he did such a perfect job that she couldn't find any flaws.

Most importantly, she still hadn't found out how he had managed to do it.

'How did this happen?!'

Yun Qingwu couldn't wrap her head around this, but Fang Zhengzhi was still dragging her along.

The duo soon arrived at the next point of connection, and nothing went wrong because Fang Zhengzhi chose the correct path once again.

So far, he had already cleared two of the three rounds.

There was only one last round left before Fang Zhengzhi could actually bring her straight into Heavenly Yuan.

”Aren't you curious about it?” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly turned around and asked Yun Qingwu when he brought her to the pond beside the last chess piece.

”Yes…” Yun Qingwu gritted her teeth and admitted.

She wasn't willing to concede defeat or express how shocked she was. However, she was so curious about it that she couldn't help nodding her head.

That was because Heavenly Yuan was already within reach.

She lost.

She was utterly beaten.

”Do you want to know?” Fang Zhengzhi looked towards the sky, calculated the time, and asked again.

”I do…” Yun Qingwu nodded again.

Having heard that, Fang Zhengzhi nodded with satisfaction and said generously, ”Alright then, I'll satisfy your curiosity and tell you.”

”Are there no conditions?” Yun Qingwu was a little surprised.

Based on her understanding of Fang Zhengzhi, he'd definitely take advantage of her curiosity and make 'unacceptable' demands.

However, it didn't seem like Fang Zhengzhi wanted anything this time.

That left her astonished once again.

”Conditions? What else could you give me?” Fang Zhengzhi gazed at Yun Qingwu with an expression as if to say 'You're already my captive, and you have nothing left. What could you give me?'.

”…” Yun Qingwu was startled, and she soon smiled bitterly and replied, ”Yeah, I'm no longer the commander of the Monster Race and Demon Race, so what could I give you?”

”Actually, there's still something you can do.”

”Like?”

”Like taking a shower in front of me or… Look at yourself, you are covered in sweat. If you enter Heavenly Yuan like this, it's being disrespectful to the G.o.ds.”

”Shameless!” Yun Qingwu scolded him. Then, she glanced at the pond in front of her, where a stream of water continuously surged.

She could hear the sound of water flowing.

The pond was crystal-clear.

Yun Qingwu was a little sweaty, partly due to exhaustion, and partly due to having cold sweats as a result of shock.

”Haha, whatever. Let's go.” Fang Zhengzhi didn't particularly mind. He pointed towards the front unseriously and was about to drag Yun Qingwu along.

”Wait.” Yun Qingwu didn't move.

”What's wrong?”

”You're right. We are reaching Heavenly Yuan soon, and it's indeed disrespectful to the G.o.ds if I remained in my current state. I want to take a shower.”

”Really?” Fang Zhengzhi was a little surprised. He brought it up as a joke but he didn't expect Yun Qingwu to actually take his suggestion and shower in front of him.

'Does she really have to do that?'

'I am not mentally prepared yet!'

”Yup…” Yun Qingwu didn't say another word. She walked towards the pond directly and leaped into it.

Water droplets splashed everywhere.

Of course, Yun Qingwu didn't take her clothes off. Furthermore, her back was facing Fang Zhengzhi so he couldn't even see her expression.

Having said that, when Yun Qingwu's dress was soaked in water, it still accentuated her perfect curves.

”d.a.m.n… This is so exciting!” Fang Zhengzhi was appreciating the show fully.

”You can tell me how you did it now.” Yun Qingwu spoke flatly while she was cleaning her face.

One could tell from her tone that she had calmed down greatly and regained her usual composure after she leaped into the pond.

”It's actually very simple. It's astrology.” Fang Zhengzhi found a rock by the pond and sat on it, and he quickly lied down.

”Astrology?” Yun Qingwu jolted.

”Yes.”

”Then?”

”That's it.”

”That's it?”

”What else would there be? I've already told you that it's based on astrology, so you can figure out the rest by yourself. Aren't you extremely intelligent? How could the Young Lord of both Monster Race and Demon Race be stumped by such an easy problem?” Fang Zhengzhi nodded as if he was already being selfless but Yun Qingwu was still pressing him for too much.

”…” Yun Qingwu fell silent.

However, her movement in the water was obviously getting bigger. She was splas.h.i.+ng water everywhere and creating ripples after ripples.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't mind that at all.

He was lying leisurely on the ground and watching Yun Qingwu vent her emotions at the water. His lips subconsciously curled into a smile.

The four arts of Zither, Go, Calligraphy, and Painting.

Fang Zhengzhi didn't understand these profound arts well. Therefore, when Yun Qingwu mentioned that the chessboard made up the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation and the mountain peaks were the chess pieces, he really couldn't comprehend how it worked.

Of course, he wasn't well-versed in astrology either.

However, he had made much more significant improvements in his understanding of astrology as compared to the four arts of Zither, Go, Calligraphy, and Painting because he had to understand astrology since he wanted to study Geomancy and The Art of Becoming Invisible.

Furthermore, astrology had a new name in his previous life - Astronomy.

Heavenly Yuan!

Was the centermost position in a chessboard.

However, in astrology, Heavenly Yuan had another meaning. It represented the 'North Star', which was complemented by all the other stars. In ancient scriptures, the term 'Heavenly Yuan' had long been introduced in ”Records of the Grand Historian”.

When a ruler wanted to establish a new dynasty, he must proceed cautiously at the beginning.

He must change the calendar, the color of clothing, carriages, and flags. He must calculate and adhere to Heavenly Yuan (The law of the universe), as well as obey the heaven's will.
