Chapter 140: Heavenly Treasure Hall (2/2)
Lu Yusheng had reached the Heavenly Reflection State!
At this point, Fang Zhengzhi finally understood why Chi Hou had blocked his path. But, he was similarly confused. Why would Chi Hou block his path?
These were two questions that were completely the same.
The former was understood, the latter was confused. But, there was no conflict between them.
”Looks like you seem somewhat confused. Actually, it is very easy to understand. If you fail to defeat Guyan within two years, there wouldn't be any harm to me. After all, it is better for Guyan to not make a choice compared to making a choice within these two years! Furthermore, if you defeat Guyan within two years… there would be no harm to be either. Although I feel that it is impossible!” Chi Hou looked at the expression on Fang Zhengzhi's face and explained with a gentle smile.
”Chi Guyan's tongue is indeed as glorious as the lotus flower. She changed lord's attitude in one night!” When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he finally understood.
This time, it was Chi Hou's turn to be silent. Looking at Fang Zhengzhi, his lips parted slightly, but couldn't utter a single word.
Only until Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu vanished, shoulder-to-shoulder, into the crack did Chi Hou finally heave a heavy sigh. ”What the heck, this kid actually saw through this so quickly?! What a failure, what a failure…”
…
Fang Zhengzhi felt that since the Heavenly Treasure Hall was given by Heaven, there naturally would be rules and tests of the Heaven Dao. For example, like that rockfall matrix in the River of Trust pocket dimension, as well as that cliff.
But, he never thought that it would actually be a beautiful, spring garden.
Stone bridges, ancient roads, flowing water...
And the flowers that blossomed throughout the gardens. Everywhere was the colour of spring, causing people to feel completely safe and calm. There was nothing except for the beautiful scenery of the blossoming flowers.
This was the Heavenly Treasure Hall?
”The time within the Heavenly Treasure Hall isn't the same as that of the outside world.” Yan Xiu spoke.
”Faster?”
”No, slower! One day in the Heavenly Treasure Hall is like two hours in the outside world. Time here is one-twelfth of that in the outside world!”
”Then, wouldn't practising here enable one to progress twelve times faster compared to the outside world?” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly thought of a very serious problem. That was, what if Chi Guyan stayed in the Heavenly Treasure Hall for two years…
What was he going to do then?
”Yes. But, the parallel dimension can only be opened for a maximum of three days in a year!”
”So, that is six hours in the outside world?”
”Yes!”
Fang Zhengzhi nodded. There were rules within All Creations of the world. These rules could be very special, but, they couldn't destroy the equilibrium between All Creations.
…
Naturally, rain would be abundant in spring.
The sky drizzled. Raindrops landed within the blooming flowers, flashing with a crystal glow. Unfortunately, Fang Zhengzhi didn't bring an umbrella, thus could only allow the spring rain to flow down his face.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi wasn't the only person within the Heavenly Treasure Hall.
Hence, there would definitely be somebody who brought an umbrella. That person was Yan Xiu.
Fang Zhengzhi didn't know that the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan in Yan Xiu's hand had this ability. But, at this moment, the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan indeed turned into an umbrella. The golden bone turned into the shaft of the umbrella, while the silver thread turned into the supporting branches. The mountain river illustration turned into a paper umbrella canopy.
”Aren't you afraid it would be soaked?”
”How can it be considered one of the Yan Five Treasures if it could be soaked?' Yan Xiu shifted the umbrella on top of Fang Zhengzhi's head. The spring rain was covered, leaving two youths standing under an umbrella.
”Are there any other abilities?”
”Yes.”
”Can it turn into a sword?”
”Yes, it can.” Yan Xiu seemed to be very cooperative. Lightly pulling the umbrella shaft, the blade of a sword that flashed with an icy glow appeared.
”How about a spear?”
”It can.” Yan Xiu pushed the umbrella shaft forward. Then, the entire shaft passed through the umbrella canopy and turned into the tip of a spear. The canopy quickly folded together, turning into the shaft of a spear. On the shaft, many silver threads appeared, causing it to seem to glow with light.
”...” Fang Zhengzhi looked at this golden-tipped, silver-shafted spear in front of him very serious and sighed to himself. ”It is indeed worthy of being one of the Yan Five Treasures!”
The Heaven and Earth Fan once again turned into a Heaven and Earth Umbrella. They continued to advance forward, walking across the stone bridge, passing through the flowing waters and walking among the flowers while admiring the beautiful scenery.
However, this beautiful scenery didn't last long.
After all, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu weren't the only two people within the Heavenly Treasure Hall.
Hence, after they crossed the stone bridge, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu stopped. They looked silently at the numerous youths that blocked in front of them. Fang Zhengzhi saw an ill-intention within their eyes.
”Don't you wish to admire the scenery first before fighting?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lu Yusheng, who was leading the pack.
”What do you think?” Lu Yusheng asked back.
”A moment ago, Lord told me that we must work together as a team within the Heavenly Treasure Hall.”
”Of course, I know this. But, does it matter if we lose two people?” Compared to the previous day, Lu Yusheng's expression was clearly different.
Now, his expression was filled with confidence. A sense of confidence that came from within his bones.
Because, he had attained Heavenly Reflection!
