"Sh * t!" A blade pierced through Fang Zhengzhi's chest. The blade was thin, but it glowed with a cold light. Furthermore, the blade glowed brightly in the rain.
This blade was called Spectral Soul.
Si Ponan no longer had the strength to lift Spectral Soul. As such, the person who lifted the blade was Yun Qingwu, who was standing behind Si Ponan.
Bright red blood gushed out from Spectral Soul's blade and rolled to the ground along with the torrential rain. Drop by drop, the bright red color slowly faded.
Si Ponan was pleasantly surprised. However, he was also shocked. He knew that Yun Qingwu would strike, but he did not expect her to be so decisive.
This reason did not seem to make sense.
That was because Yun Qingwu, as the Young Lord of the Demon Race, would not show mercy to a human genius.
But...
This was the only thought that flashed through Si Ponan's mind. Yun Qingwu's question, "Why did you stop?" He heard it loud and clear.
Even though he did not know why Yun Qingwu would ask such a question, that was no longer important. Yun Qingwu had already struck.
Silence.
Apart from the sound of the rain, the entire world seemed to have become extremely quiet at this moment. No one spoke, and even the sound of breathing was so weak that it was almost non-existent.
"Fang Zhengzhi... failed?!"
"Yun Qingwu's blade pierced through Fang Zhengzhi's chest!"
"How... how did this happen?"
Question after question flashed through the minds of all of the candidates and soldiers. However, none of them had an answer. No one knew what was going on.
Bai Xing relaxed his fists. He did not know what had happened on the cliff, but he knew that Yun Qingwu had made up her mind to attack Fang Zhengzhi.
As such...
Fang Zhengzhi would not survive.
"Swoosh!" A faint sound came from the cliff, breaking the silence of the storm.
This was not the sound of the Spectre Blade being pulled out of Fang Zhengzhi's body. It was the sound of the Traceless Sword stabbing into the ground.
It was almost as if it had stabbed into a piece of tofu.
The demonic purple light suddenly lit up at this moment, like a purple pillar of light rushing into the sky, entangling with the constantly flashing purple lightning in the sky.
Yun Qingwu gripped the hilt of the Spectre Blade tightly. She stared at Fang Zhengzhi, at the murderous look in his eyes.
The spinning swords in his eyes slowly stopped.
Or perhaps …
It was dissipating, like a formless wisp of smoke. It was slowly disappearing from his eyes, and along with it, that rich purple …
…
A pond, an incomparably clear pond.
When Fang Zhengzhi stood in front of the pool and looked at the lady in the white dress dancing in the pool, he had countless questions in his mind. Why did he appear in the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet again?
This place …
And where was it?
Was it a dream or somewhere else?
These questions flashed through his mind one by one, but no one answered him. The only thing that moved was the lady in the white dress in the pool.
"Should I capture her and interrogate her?" Fang Zhengzhi's lips curled into a smile that all men would understand. However, this thought only lasted for a moment.
It did not last for long.
This was because he faintly remembered that he had the same thought the last time. However, when he had jumped into the water, he could no longer find the white-dressed woman's figure.
He had been tricked once.
Of course, Fang Zhengzhi would not fall at the same place twice.
As such …
If he could not get close or interrogate her, how was he going to find out her true identity? How was he going to leave this place?
Fang Zhengzhi began to recall the scene in the Divine Constabulary's Heavenly Treasure Hall.
He remembered that the last time he saw the lady in the white dress, he had understood the essence of the Heavenly Reflection State because of her projection in the water.
But this time …
He did not feel anything at all.
Hang on, he felt something. Fang Zhengzhi looked around him. There were trees and grass around him, and in front of him, there was a pool.
This was a world without any wind. There was not a single ripple on the surface of the pool. It was a smooth and green mirror, without a single speck of dust on it.
It was very pure.
Clean?
"It's silence!" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up. In an instant, he knew what this feeling was. It was silence, the silence of tranquility.
Even though the lady in the white dress had not been silent since she appeared. Instead, she had been dancing and jumping on the surface of the pool.
However, perhaps it was because of the sudden "movement" in this peaceful world.
This allowed Fang Zhengzhi to feel the "silence" of the environment even more deeply.
The surface of the pool was very quiet. The surrounding trees were very quiet. The grass was also very quiet. Even Fang Zhengzhi, who was standing by the side of the pool and watching the lady in the white dress, was very quiet.
Seeing movement would allow one to feel silence?
Fang Zhengzhi had never been one to pursue deep and unfathomable theories. However, he suddenly thought of something. It was the time when he escaped from the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet.
At that time, he did not understand why he left.
But …
Now, he vaguely understood.
It was movement!
Stirring!
At that time, Fang Zhengzhi's intention was to take a carefree and carefree bath in this pure world. However, in reality, he accidentally stirred up the calm pond.
A completely still world was suddenly stirred. Naturally, the rules of the world were broken. Without the rules, the world naturally collapsed.
Or, to put it more accurately...
This world did not acknowledge Fang Zhengzhi. Hence, he was chased out of this world. To put it more bluntly, Fang Zhengzhi destroyed the silence of this world and was chased out.
"Heaven Dao Sage Tablet, I was chased out by the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet? Then, why did I come back? "Fang Zhengzhi remembered that Chi Guyan and Ping Yang had mentioned this to him before.
Every piece of the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet contained an extremely powerful Dao.
If one could understand it, he would be able to become a sage.
Now, he vaguely understood why he was chased out. Naturally, he guessed that the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet in front of him was a Dao related to 'silence'.
Silence?
Was his heart calm?
Or was it a heart as calm as water?!
Fang Zhengzhi looked at the pool in front of him. The phrase 'heart as calm as water' was indeed apt to describe this pool. However, the surrounding trees and grass …
How could he explain this?
No, no, if the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet was really a powerful Dao, then the logic would not be as simple as this. Furthermore, it was just silence, it did not mean anything.
Silence …
It was not a heart as calm as water. What was there to be calm about?
Was it purity?
Was it purity? Fang Zhengzhi's thoughts returned to the starting point. When this thought flashed past his mind, his eyes lit up again.
That's right!
Silence, in ancient times, was purity. These two words had almost the same meaning. Silence, was purity. Purity, was also silence. Silence... came from green and from struggle.
Green, the color of beginners. Struggle, two hands holding each other. Persistence.
Hence, the definition of silence was to not be disturbed by external disturbances and to maintain one's original nature.
In the Six Taos, there was a saying, 'Autumn Dao is restrained, all living things flourish. Winter Dao is concealed, all living things are silent.'
In the Poetry, the Wind, the Cypress Boat, it was about calmness. In the Language of Jin, it was about calmness. In the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Lu Family, it was about calmness …
Words about silence flashed past Fang Zhengzhi's mind. As these thoughts flashed past his mind, he entered a state of contemplation.
Contemplation.
This caused Fang Zhengzhi's heart to gradually become calm. It was as if he had become one with the surrounding trees, the pool, and the grass. Unknowingly, he realized that his vision was becoming clearer.
After some time, when he looked at the lady in the white dress again, he suddenly realized that he could see her lips.
It was a stunning pair of lips.
It was very familiar.
It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to take a closer look, but he realized that the features of the lady in the white dress were extremely blurry. It was so blurry that no matter how hard he tried, he could not make out her features.
Why was this happening?
She was not that far away, why could he not see her clearly?
Furthermore, why did it feel so familiar?
These questions had been echoing in Fang Zhengzhi's mind. However, he did not want to think about something that he did not understand over and over again.
Therefore, this matter had been delayed for a long time.
However …
When he was deep in thought, he suddenly saw the lady in the white dress in front of him. He could not help but think about this question again.
"I must have seen her somewhere before!" Fang Zhengzhi wanted to look up again, but he realized that it was blurry. Furthermore, even the lips that he had just seen became blurry again.
Could it be that he needed to contemplate and meditate in order to see the lady's face?
Fang Zhengzhi was not a person who was obsessed with lust. However, when a lady appeared in front of him, and it was the same lady who appeared twice in a row …
If …
He could not even see the lady's face clearly, was he still a man?
When a person had a dream, things would naturally progress. For example, Fang Zhengzhi had calmed down. In fact, he even sat cross-legged on the ground to calm himself down.
The dance continued in the pool.
Wait a minute.
Why do I feel like my vision is different from before? All the cells in my body have entered a very strange state. It feels very calm and pure...
Calm and pure.
Cells!
Supernatural State!
Legend has it that the Supernatural State was a state that was close to the edge of death. However, the actual manifestation was the final radiance of the setting sun. The most prominent characteristic of the Supernatural State was the activity of the cells.
No!
It was not the activity of the cells, it was calmness and purity!
The cells in the body became calmer and purer. Under such circumstances, the pain and injuries of the body could be removed, and the body would return to its original state.
Fang Zhengzhi's heart skipped a beat. From movement to calmness, and then to purity. He felt that he had gone in a big circle, but he had returned to the starting point.
He remembered that when he first accessed Dao, it was from his body.
At that time, he felt that he had full control over his body. Every cell, every drop of blood, and every piece of muscle was under his control.
But now …
It was the transformation of his body, the removal of impurities!
Wait a minute, was he really going to understand the Dao of the Ultimate Realm? Or was he about to step into the Dao of the Ultimate Realm?
Or had he already broken through to the Supernatural State?
Should he try cutting himself with a knife? Did he suddenly become very powerful? Or, did he become a sage?
"Hahaha, am I really going to become a sage?" For some reason, Fang Zhengzhi let out a hearty laugh. His laughter sounded rather strange in this peaceful world.
What was even stranger was that the lady in the white dress suddenly stopped dancing. As if she heard Fang Zhengzhi's laughter, she slowly turned her head...
...
"Yun Qingwu?!" Fang Zhengzhi's gaze froze. Because, in front of him, there was a face that was tightly covered by a veil.
And in the sky, it was raining cats and dogs.
Where was this?
Was this a dream?
It felt very familiar. Below him was the wind valley. He seemed to have been here in his dream. But, why was the purple in his dream gone?
Wait a minute.
The lady in the white dress was Yun Qingwu?
Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously stretched his hand forward and removed the veil that was covering Yun Qingwu's face at lightning speed.
In that moment, a beautiful face was revealed. Her eyebrows were like a painting, her skin as white as snow and her lips were slightly parted, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
If Yun Qingwu, who had a veil covering her face, looked like a white lotus in a storm, then when her veil was taken off, especially in front of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers …
It felt like a blasphemy.
It was almost as if a holy angel had been plucked from her body.
Yun Qingwu's expression was one of shock.
In fact, it was impossible for anyone not to be surprised because no one would have thought that after stabbing the other party, the first thing the other party did was to remove her veil.
Yun Qingwu was not the only one who did not expect this.
Everyone at the foot of the cliff was equally taken aback.
The 50,000 soldiers of the Great Xia stared blankly at Yun Qingwu, her mouth slightly agape. The 100,000 Southern Region soldiers also stared blankly at the figure.
The dozens of demon elites, as well as Bai Xing and Wu Ji, were infuriated.
"How dare a person who is about to die defile the holy!"
"How dare you!"
"..."
Fang Zhengzhi was not going to think about something so boring. He was thinking, could the lady in the white dress really be Yun Qingwu?!
As this thought flashed through his mind, he felt his heart tremble slightly. Then, he felt a slight pain in his chest. This pain was like a knife stabbing into his body, sharp and penetrating.
That was not right.
He should not be feeling pain in his dream.
But why was the pain so clear?
Fang Zhengzhi didn't quite understand, but he still subconsciously looked at his chest. Then, he saw a knife, a knife that was stabbed into his chest.
"Oh? Why is there a knife in my chest? "
