Why was there such a restriction? Why couldn't he use the power of everything around him? What was the connection between all of this?
Questions flashed past Fang Zhengzhi's mind.
This caused him to look at the surface of the lake once again. A gentle breeze blew past, causing the shadows of the fruit trees to sway.
As the water moved, so did the shadows.
Was it because of the wind? The resonance between the pocket dimension and everything else. Shadows, different worlds, different spaces...
Words kept appearing. Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to find the connection between them, but he felt like he was missing something.
It was a catalyst...
Yes, he needed a catalyst!
A catalyst that could link everything together.
"Zhengzhi... look up?!" At this moment, Yan Xiu's voice rang out. He pointed at the moon in the sky.
"Up there?" Fang Zhengzhi looked up.
Then, he realized that Yan Xiu was pointing at a faint shadow on the moon. He did not know if it was a dark cloud or something else.
In the previous world, Fang Zhengzhi had seen this scene too.
There was a shadow on the moon that could change forms.
As such, he was not too surprised at first. However, moments later, his eyes widened.
Because...
This shadow was different from the previous one. The previous shadow could transform into all sorts of weapons, but this shadow was different.
It was a person, and it was a woman, a dancing woman!
"This is the woman you saw?" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi.
"No, I did not see a shadow, I saw a real person..." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head. He did not know if it was a real person, but it was not a shadow.
"A real person?" Yan Xiu was confused.
Fang Zhengzhi did not continue to explain. Because... Right now, his heart was already in a state of turmoil.
This shadow and the woman in the previous world...
What did it matter?
Was this her shadow?!
A shadow that was projected into this world through the lake?
That could be explained. But... It was too strange. The real body was in one world, but the shadow was in another.
If that was the case, then the shadow that was constantly transforming into all sorts of weapons...
Where was the real body?
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the moon in the sky, then at the lake in front of him. A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"I want to dive into the lake again to prove that I am right." Fang Zhengzhi looked at Yan Xiu with a serious expression.
"Alright, I'll go with you!" Yan Xiu nodded without hesitation.
"No, wait for me on the shore. I will tie a rope around my waist and you will pull me up. If I don't move … then pull me up!" Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"What are you trying to do?" Yan Xiu could guess what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to do, but he could not guess his motive.
"I don't know yet. I will only know after I try." Fang Zhengzhi really didn't know.
"Alright." Yan Xiu nodded.
Fang Zhengzhi looked around. He had brought some rope with him. It was a habit that he used to set traps and jump off cliffs. However, it was not long enough, so he looked at the surrounding fruit trees.
With the help of Yan Xiu, he found some soft branches and vines from the tree and weaved a vine rope.
Looking at the length, he felt that it should be about right …
He pulled it. It was very sturdy.
Then, Fang Zhengzhi nodded at Yan Xiu and leapt up. Then, he leapt back into the lake.
Yan Xiu held onto one end of the rope and stood on the shore. He looked nervous as he stared at the surface of the lake …
"Whoosh!"
Just at this moment. A head popped out of the lake. When this head popped out, it began to pant.
Yan Xiu naturally heard the commotion, so he looked over.
When he saw who it was, the expression on his face also changed. He was in a bad mood.
"Yan Xiu?!" The person who popped out of the lake noticed Yan Xiu and was pleasantly surprised. However, when he saw the fruit tree behind Yan Xiu, his eyes were filled with shock.
The person who popped out of the lake was Lu Yusheng. He was in a daze.
After all, the world had changed after falling into the water. It was hard for anyone to accept.
Before long, heads popped out of the lake one by one.
After everyone saw the changes in their environment, their faces showed an expression of disbelief.
Yan Xiu's expression became worse and worse.
Because …
He was faced with a huge problem. He could not escape. He had to ensure Fang Zhengzhi's safety in the water. He could not let go of the rope.
Lu Yusheng thought that Yan Xiu would run when he saw him. However, Yan Xiu did not do so. Instead, he looked at him quietly and stood on the spot.
"Oh?" Lu Yusheng was curious. Was it a trap?
After his experiences in the forest, Lu Yusheng naturally had such a thought. This was not surprising. Furthermore, he was sure that it was a trap. Fang Zhengzhi was not with Yan Xiu.
"Where is Fang Zhengzhi hiding?" Lu Yusheng scanned the surrounding shore. Fang Zhengzhi was nowhere to be seen. Then, his gaze returned to Yan Xiu.
Then, he froze.
He saw the rope in Yan Xiu's hand.
"Go and take a look!" Lu Yusheng quickly ordered the youths behind him. The trap that Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu had set up was to slow them down.
Injuries?
Those were just minor injuries. The seven youths behind him were all in the Star Conglomerate State. Simple traps might be troublesome, but they were not fatal.
When the seven youths heard this, they hesitated, but they did not object.
Yan Xiu's expression became worse and worse. He opened his Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan as he looked at the seven youths closing in on him.
Lu Yusheng squinted his eyes.
He knew the power of Yan Xiu's Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan. It was one of the five treasures of the Yan Family. However, Yan Xiu's abilities were limited. He could not fully utilize the power of the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
This was his chance …
If they were both in the Star Conglomerate State, Lu Yusheng would not be able to do anything. However, he was in the Heavenly Reflection State. He was on a completely different level.
Lu Yusheng's lips curled into a cold smile. The water around him became turbulent, almost as if it was being manipulated. It gathered towards him.
It formed a small whirlpool.
Yan Xiu's lips twitched. He was most afraid that Lu Yusheng's pocket dimension had the Water Dao of All Creation. It seemed like Lu Yusheng did.
They fought by the lake.
Lu Yusheng could resonate with the water.
This was the most disadvantageous environment for a battle. If he was rational, Yan Xiu would definitely choose a different place. He would even be willing to return to the Spring Garden.
However …
He could not, and could not do it.
Lu Yusheng made his move, along with seven other Star Conglomerate Realm youths. They had already reached the shore from the lake. From their bodies, it could be seen that they all had some light injuries, but the injuries were not big.
As such, it would not affect their abilities too much.
"Heaven and Earth Reversal!" Yan Xiu did not hesitate. He roared and the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan in his hands glowed brightly. It was as if water was pouring down.
Dazzling light shone from the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan, spreading to the surroundings.
In the blink of an eye, an incomparably huge picture of mountains and rivers appeared.
Towering rocks, jagged cliffs, countless trees swayed gently, and a waterfall cascaded down from the mountain like a silver ribbon.
Mountain and River Territory.
The seven youths, who were originally extremely fast, showed obvious signs of slowing down the moment the Mountain River Domain enveloped them.
This also allowed Lu Yusheng's water attack to reach Yan Xiu before they did.
"Open!" Yan Xiu's Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan slashed at the water.
A red light flashed.
The water split apart like a curtain of water.
However, the water quickly split into two and attacked Yan Xiu from the left and right …
...
Fang Zhengzhi did not know what was happening on the shore. He was already diving towards the bottom of the lake as fast as he could.
Fang Zhengzhi did not dare to be distracted in the darkness of the lake.
He opened his eyes. Even though he could not see anything, he tried his best to open his eyes.
As time passed, Fang Zhengzhi dived deeper and deeper. Naturally, his chest felt heavier and heavier. He was extremely good at withstanding water pressure.
However, he could not solve the problem of air.
After all, in the current environment, it was unrealistic to build an oxygen cylinder.
However...
Even if he could not make an oxygen tank, he could make a few bags of oxygen. As such, when he felt his chest getting heavier and heavier, Fang Zhengzhi opened up an oxygen bag.
"Gululu..."
A wave of bubbles rose from the water. Fang Zhengzhi's expression relaxed slightly.
As such, he continued to dive towards the bottom of the lake.
As time passed, the pressure on Fang Zhengzhi grew stronger and stronger. He did not know how deep he had dived. All he knew was that he had to dive as deep as he could...
He did not know how long had passed.
His hand finally came into contact with something solid. It was not the mud at the bottom of the lake, but something smooth and hard.
As expected!
