Chapter 21: Based off Man Himself (2/2)

In the middle of that night, a creature, it's skin white as snow and it's claws sharp as a blade, soared out of the Hall of Dao and disappeared into the night sky.

A day later, the flying creature landed onto an unbelievably huge courtyard. At its entrance, a gold-plated sign was hung up, on it displayed two bright-red words - ”Divine Constabulary”.

After which, a tightly sealed roll of paper was passed by a soldier into a study. Wearing a sky blue dress, Lolita took a look at the letter, her starry eyes glinting with a faint light, and her tender lips curved into a delighted smile.

”Fang Zhengzhi?! Haha… After letting him off for a month, he is finally baited onto my hook!”

...

Dao of All Creations, are based off Man himself?!

The next few days saw Fang Zhengzhi lying on his bed, these few words occupying his every thought. On the surface, understanding this phrase wasn't hard at all.

The hard part lies in finding the link between its meaning and Accessing Dao.

Previously, General Li of the Divine Constabulary mentioned that to be able to grasp the Dao of All Creation, one must first understand All Creation. Yet, Wang Anhua from the Hall of Dao claimed that the Dao of All Creation, are based off Man himself?!

Why does it seem like there was some sort of conflict between what these two people said...

Should I believe General Li? Or believe Wang Anhua? Or could it be that they are both right?

Fang Zhengzhi seems unable to come to a firm conclusion. Recently, through consistent hard work, his progress has improved significantly. The single leaf he saw in his visions had now turned into five, and the single water droplet now became five water droplets.

At the same time, he had gained a much greater control over his body.

The flow of his blood, the contraction of his meridians, he could already control them perfectly. At present, he was even able to feel something he couldn't quite identify within his body.

If he had to name this, it was better described as flesh.

The ability to control flesh? This was unthinkable to the Fang Zhengzhi of the past, but it seems that now, the his feeling was incredibly strong .

Except, he wasn't able to control it entirely. He could only control a tiny portion, for example, making the flesh at the tip of his finger much bouncier than before, or making it slightly harder, or changing the characteristics of the thin layer of exposed skin on his arm...

He had no idea what was the use of being able to control his flesh, but nonetheless, it did indeed feel good.

Wait...

Control? Control over myself? The Dao of All Creations, are based off Man himself!

Instantly, Fang Zhengzhi felt that the answer to the problem that troubled him for so long was finally revealed. Could this mean… in order to control All Creations, one must first be able to control oneself?

I see! I see!

All creations originates from the heart, all creations are based off Man himself!

Seedlings have already sprouted from within his heart, those water droplets must be the source of his control over the body… All that was needed was to gain total, perfect control over himself!

That means...

All the conditions seem to have been satisfied!

Happy and excited, Fang Zhengzhi felt as if all the problems that troubled him were finally resolved at this moment! Fang Zhengzhi couldn't wait to try it out. Rapidly standing up from his bed, he opened the window and jumped out onto the small courtyard once again.

As he faced that fist-sized stone once again, he still felt slightly nervous.

After all, his previous try came with an excruciatingly painful consequence.

”In order to succeed, one must first learn to sacrifice!”

Gritting his teeth, Fang Zhengzhi took a deep breath, slowly adjusted his body and concentrated his flesh onto his right palm...

Gradually, a particular feeling arose inside him, the concentration of flesh in his palms were increasing...

A little bit more, a little bit more!

”This is it, this is it… this is the feeling I want! Don't stop now!”

Fang Zhengzhi suddenly unleashed a muted roar, and immediately brought down his right palm towards the stone.

”...”

After a short moment of silence, Fang Zhengzhi's expression once again started to twist.

”Ouch!”

Fang Zhengzhi ”happily” began to hop about, then, limped his way back through his window and into his room...

”Crack!”

A soft noise sounded out from behind Fang Zhengzhi. On top of the stone in the small courtyard, a finger-length crack suddenly formed…
