“That’s not true, isn’t Chi Guyan supposed to be at the Heavenly Dao Pavilion?” Fang Zhengzhi felt a sharp pain in his brain as the sound of a string instrument came into his ear.
It sounded very gentle, like a small flowing river. Slowly, the white dress lady in front of him became blurry, and the whole earth started vibrating.
…
Yun Qingwu’s fingers were strumming gently on the Guqin. She was not playing at a fast speed, in fact, it was slow and firm.
It looked elegant to be playing the string instrument.
It wasn’t too tiring.
But Yun Qingwu spent a very long time to play this song. Ever since Fang Zhengzhi had slumbered into his “sleep”, she had yet to stop. She did not sleep for five days and five nights continuously.
That made her use up much of her energy. As such, while her fingers were still playing fervently, her eyes were slowly shutting down.
However just at that moment…
A strange fluctuation seemed to force her eyes open.
It like something was about to protrude from the ground, and the earth had a slight tremble at the same time. It was a small one, but the “dimension” was no longer calm and peaceful anymore.
“Eh?” Yun Qingwu switched her attention to where Fang Zhengzhi was standing at.
She was clearly aware of the stability of the “dimension” created by 13 pieces of the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets. It shouldn’t be easily disrupted by the outside dimension.
Unless….
This disruption happened inside this “dimension”.
“Rumble!” The earth quivered again.
Then, a giant tree branch emerged from the ground. The crystal clear leaves glowed under the brilliant sunlight, emitting a fresh green ambience.
That wasn’t the end.
After the first branch, came the second and third branches…
Very quickly, a fifty feet tall huge tree appeared in front of Yun Qingwu. And that huge tree was just directly behind of Fang Zhengzhi.
It was a strange sight.
Yun Qingwu stopped playing immediately.
The strumming of the strings paused.
And just as the sound of the Guqin stopped, Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes opened slowly. It was a pair of crystal clear eyes, yet it was dull and soulless.
But a gigantic tree can be seen faintly in his eyes. It identical to the tree erected behind him.
“Yun Qingwu?” Fang Zhengzhi voice sounded shaky, and the fact was that he was still feeling a little groggy. But he managed to recover fast.
Returned?
Or rather, has he awoken?
A dream?
Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t sure. After all, if it was really a dream, this dream seemed too real to be one. It was definitely too genuine to be a dream.
“You’re awake?” Yun Qingwu attempted to sit up, but her legs felt numb. She fidgeted and let her body slant towards one side, with one hand pressing on the ground.
Just as she pressed her hand on the ground, she felt a surge of warm feeling overwhelming her hand. Just then, a figure covered the sunlight above her.
“That was so fast!” Yun Qingwu was taken aback, as she knew that that was Fang Zhengzhi grabbing her, but she did not expect it to be so fast.
Yun Qingwu tried to dodge it, but she realised that his hand wasn’t trying to grab onto anything else. He was slowly helping her up and supporting her.
Then…
Along with the strength from his hands, Yun Qingwu stood up.
“Have you been sitting down for a very long time?” Fang Zhengzhi gave Yun Qingwu a look. He saw Yun Qingwu’s exhausted look, which was a very rare sight.
“Ummmm.” Yun Qingwu nodded her head gently.
Then, she seemed to come into her sense.
In an instant, she retreated backwards, out of Fang Zhengzhi’s grip.
“Hehe…” Fang Zhengzhi smiled gently, as he was not shocked from her actions. Instead, he looked at his hands doubtfully.
He actually grabbed it?
It seemed like he actually gave up on another “opportunity”?
Fang Zhengzhi had no idea how long he had slept, but he was aware that he had tried countless times doing so before his sleep.
But he had never grabbed onto Yun Qingwu before, not even a gentle touch on the edge of her dress.
“You…..solved it?” Yun Qingwu took five steps back and paused. She glanced at Fang Zhengzhi, who had no intention to attack her again, looking surprised.
She was aware that she had accidentally exposed her weakness earlier.
After sitting quietly for five days continuously, she couldn’t endure any longer. Coincidentally, that was when Fang Zhengzhi had just woken up, hence he was able to catch her weakness.
But surprisingly…
Fang Zhengzhi did not seize the opportunity to take advantage of her. In fact, it seemed like he had intended to let her “escape” peacefully. That had really taken her aback.
“I don’t know.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
The truth was, he wasn’t sure if he had successfully solved it or whether he had stepped into the Rebirth State from the Supernatural State. Because all these happened in his “dream”.
“Understood.” Yun Qingwu did not ask any further, and she stood up and wiped away the grass sticking on her dress.
That was a casual and normal reaction.
But as Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes caught that action, his eyes twitched a little. The image of a white figure seemed to flash past his mind.
“A seed, a seed!” Fang Zhengzhi mumbled as his eyes sparkled instantly. “Seed is the start of everything. Beginning of everything and then rebirth!”
“Seed?” Yun Qingwu asked curiously when she heard the words coming out from Fang Zhengzhi.
However, her curiosity quickly turned into a surprise.
Because Fang Zhengzhi’s hand suddenly had a light shining out from it.
But of course…
That little bit of light wasn’t enough to impress Yun Qingwu. What truly surprised her was how the light seemed to be “growing”, just like how a seed would grow eventually.
It was rapid, very very rapid.
What’s even more strange was that when the ray of light had grown into a big tree, rays and rays of light cascaded down from the tree.
Just like dropping leaves.
And following the cascading rays of light, a new tree appeared on his palm again. Or so to say, his hand no longer contained just trees.
There were mountains, stones, flowers and grass and stars…
All these things seemed to be created from the rays of light.
“Weng!” Suddenly, all the big trees, rocks, flowers, and moon and stars have disappeared, leaving only a light that was swirling constantly.
The light wheel was separated into six sections.
Each section was round, with six round shapes, swirling in the middle of Fang Zhengzhi’s palm. It kept spinning in a circle.
At that moment, Yun Qingwu had a strange feeling.
She felt that whatever Fang Zhengzhi was holding did not seem to be a light wheel. In fact, it was like a world, a world that contained thousands of matter and things, but only that it has yet to be formed.
Just a round shape.
A round-shaped word.
“What is that?” Yun Qingwu might have explored all the encyclopedia books since young, but she had never encountered such a scene. Then something strange happened again.
The light wheel that was swirling earlier stopped immediately.
Just then, the whole world shuddered again.
“Rumble!”
Yun Qingwu looked up instantly and saw a ray of light. It was a ray of blue light falling down from the horizon. It was as clear as the blue sky, pure and clean, without a tinge of dirt.
“Boom!” The blue light fell onto the six light wheels that Fang Zhengzhi was holding onto.
Then it disappeared at the next moment.
But after the blue light had disappeared, one of the six light wheels surrounding it lit up, as if it was being activated by the blue light.
It transformed from white to blue.
Furthermore, there was also a very complex golden character symbol lighting up slowly, emitting a dazzling light in the middle of the light wheel.
“Could it be…” Yun Qingwu eyes were wide open as she looked at the golden words. A word flashed past in her mind, a word that she had only seen once before.
Yun Qingwu’s face turned pale immediately after the word surfaced in her mind.
Overwhelmed.
This was the first time that Yun Qingwu had felt so overwhelmed.
What’s more shocking was, when the blue light lit up, the trembling ground vibrated even more vigorously, as though it was about to break apart.
Cracks started to appear on the ground, and the big tree swayed vigorously.
“How could this happen?” Yun Qingwu observed the surrounding, as she looked at the unbelievably strange light way. The spell formed by 13 pieces of the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablets, was actually disturbed?
She had never expected any of this to happen.
Although it was the reality?
Yun Qingwu’s mouth moved a little, attempting to say something. However before she managed to open her mouth, another light ray began crushing down from the horizon.
“Rumble!”
This time round, the light was green. It was emerald green and crystal clear, and it had a calming effect on the surroundings.
The green light ray landed on the light wheel on Fang Zhengzhi’s hand.
Disappearing instantly.
Then, a ray of green light lit up once again, and another one of the six light wheels seemed to be activated, turning green.
Similarly….
Another golden character symbol floated up in the green light again.
“Crash!”
Numerous gravels flew up from the cracked ground, and a huge crack quickly devoured the tall tree, as countless branches broke and scattered around on the ground.
“It’s……the Rebirth Plate!” Realising the trembling surroundings, Yun Qingwu’s face expression changed instantly. She was still uncertain when she saw the 6 light wheels, but when she saw the second light ray lit up once again, she was fully certain that it was.
The Rebirth Plate.
It was an “imaginary” name.
Yun Qingwu could remember vividly that she had read about it in the Demon Race’s records. It was a set of very antique and old sentences and words.
It was described in a simple way.
In short, it was about rebirth, also known as the Six Rebirth Maps, or the Wheel of Life and Death.
Indeed, the Rebirth Plate would never have the same concept as the Rebirth State.
It was because that the Rebirth Plate was not a type of state. Rather, there were six different levels within it, and each level represented a Dao.
Heavenly Dao, Dao of Asura, Human Dao, Near-Life Dao, Hell Dao, and Ghost Dao.
Those were the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques in the Rebirth Plate.
As long as one had successfully possessed the powers of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques, the strength from the Six Dao would gather and merge within the body, creating a light wheel around him.
The light wheel represented the Six Dao Powers in him, and each light wheel contained a different character symbol.
And this was for an expert that had mastered the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques. It required a higher level of skill as compared to that of an average Rebirth expert.
Then could it be possible that there was more than one light wheel?
Or six light wheels!
Because it would only be natural since there were Six Dao in the Rebirth State, and so would the light wheels.
But all these were just purely hypothetical, and it was a hypothesis that never happened before. While it had yet to happen before, the report actually had a name for such a hypothesis.
Rebirth Plate!
Rebirth Plate?!
The Rebirth Plate was actually activated, and it seemed to have lit up two light wheels.
Two light wheels?!
If all these were true…..
Yun Qingwu did not think further, because the cracks had already reached the bottom of her feet, and she had no choice but to retreat by flying back rapidly.
But just as she was about to make a step back, a figure appeared in front of her again. HIs blue long sleeves were blowed up, and his eyes were crystal clear.
“Fang Zhengzhi, I will never let you out of here, over my dead body!” Yun Qingwu was aware of Fang Zhengzhi’s plot, but he was too swift for her to react.
It happened almost immediately, and her hands and waist were being grabbed by Fang Zhengzhi.
“Really? Do you really want to lose your virginity here? But, to be honest… The environment is not bad at all. Pale sky, wildland, perfect……Hmmm, if there were some additional red maple trees, and the falling of red maple leaves….” Fang Zhengzhi grinned as he tightened his grip around Yun Qingwu’s arm.
“Shameless!” Yun Qingwu cursed as she disappeared immediately. Then appearing five feet away from Fang Zhengzhi.
But after being groped by Fang Zhengzhi, she looked a little lost, as she blushed and her cheeks turned red and rosy subconsciously.
At the same instant, a figure appeared in front her. He was very close, so close that she could feel his breath.
“Do you really think I will let you go so easily?” Fang Zhengzhi did not want to force his way, but he had no choice.
As he had to leave this place.
Being trapped for half a month, this opportunity…
This could be his last resort.
