Fang Zhengzhi knew what Chi Guyan was thinking.
From Chi Guyan's point of view, it wasn't that she didn't trust Fang Zhengzhi, but that Fang Zhengzhi had just entered the Holy Region. Under such circumstances, there was no way he could go to those 'forbidden grounds' to fight for treasures and resources.
His own safety was a problem. Judging from the dangers of the Holy Region, he could be killed on the spot if he made the wrong move.
However, Fang Zhengzhi had his own bottom line.
He didn't think of himself as a righteous man who wasn't afraid of death, but he really couldn't live under the protection of a woman.
Of course …
There was no use thinking about this now.
If he lost the bet, even if he couldn't do it, he would have to endure the humiliation and be Chi Guyan's servant for the next month.
"No, I have to think of something!" Fang Zhengzhi's mind raced to think of the 'difficult' situation he was in, as well as all the resources he could use.
Chi Guyan had already deciphered the first diagram of the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration, and the time she used was only about a quarter of an hour. It was ridiculously fast!
Fang Zhengzhi didn't have the confidence to win against such an opponent even in a fair competition.
Furthermore, he was still a long way from the starting line.
But what about himself now?
He was in the Jungle of Mysteries, where ferocious beasts roamed. Other than the 'troublesome' Yan Qing who had followed him in, he didn't even have a map or an introduction to the Jungle of Mysteries.
"It's too shady!" Even though Fang Zhengzhi had always felt that he had a good attitude, he was still at his wit's end when faced with such a difficult problem.
What should he do?
"Aren't we leaving?" Yan Qing asked casually as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi's dejected expression, then at the thick fog that surrounded them.
"Do you know where to go?" Fang Zhengzhi asked subconsciously.
"I don't." Yan Qing shook his head.
"Why do I remember that you grew up in the forest?"
"Yes, but this isn't the forest I grew up in."
"…" Fang Zhengzhi didn't ask further. He looked at his surroundings, the thick fog, the trees, the drizzle, and the grass. Other than that, there was nothing else.
This made Fang Zhengzhi frown. To put it bluntly, he was no different from a headless fly. He couldn't even determine his bearings, let alone walk out of the Jungle of Mysteries.
Wait a minute!
North, south, east, west?
Speaking of which, the water of the Divine Rain Pond was divided into five colors, which should be related to the five elements. Red was the Nine Heavens, and blue was the Jungle of Mysteries …
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, red … fire?
Is that blue color water?
However, he was currently in the Jungle of Mysteries. If it was a forest, wouldn't it be more fitting for the word 'wood'? No, that's not right … In the Jungle of Mysteries, mystery … it's fog. Fog is water!
The Jungle of Mysteries was water!
His current position was above the water level!
As for Chi Guyan and the others, they were currently in the Nine Heavens. The Heavens … was the Fire Position.
According to the five elements, fire was at the top, which corresponded to the meaning of the Nine Heavens. Wood and Earth were at the left and right, while Water and Metal were at the bottom.
Up north, down south, left west, right east.
His current position should be in the southwest direction, while the fire was in the north. Therefore, he should first head north towards the east!
"What the f * ck, I am so smart!" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up as he praised himself.
Then …
Another voice rang out in his ears.
"Chi Guyan has entered the Third Heaven!"
"Chi Guyan, enter …"
"…"
Fang Zhengzhi felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He wanted to say, "You can be fast, but isn't it a little too much to be this fast?"
…
Divine Rain Pond, in the Nine Heavens.
The thirty over Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at each other, seeing the envy and helplessness in each other's eyes.
They were clearly viewing the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustrations at the same time.
However, Chi Guyan had already broken through two of them and reached the Third Heaven. Yet, they were still staring at the first Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration hanging high in the sky, their brows furrowed.
"Just this stroke, what does it mean?" The thirty over Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples could not help but pull at their hair as they bathed in the Sweet Dew Rain.
At this very moment …
Outside the Divine Rain Pond in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples surrounding the Divine Rain Pond widened their eyes as well. They were evidently shocked by the voice beside their ears.
"Senior Chi Guyan has actually entered the Third Heaven!"
"So fast!"
"She's indeed our Senior Chi Guyan!"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were shocked, but at the same time, they were overjoyed. After all, Chi Guyan's talent had always been acknowledged in the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
The Sixth Elder also had a smile on his face.
"Reporting to Sixth Elder, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Qing seem to have found their bearings in the Jungle of Mysteries, and are now advancing towards the Nine Heavens!" A Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple in charge of observing the Divine Rain Pond walked to Sixth Elder's side and reported in a low voice.
"Oh? So fast? " Sixth Elder's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. "I've underestimated this rascal. However, even if he has found his bearings, he'll still need at least two hours to fight his way from the Jungle of Mysteries to the Nine Heavens!"
"That's right, although the beasts in the Jungle of Mysteries aren't that strong, their numbers are not small!" The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple nodded when he heard this.
"Mm, you may leave." Sixth Elder waved his hand.
"Yes!" The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple immediately retreated.
Sixth Elder looked at the retreating Heaven Dao Pavilion disciple, and the smile on his face widened. "With Guyan's speed, by the time Fang Zhengzhi reaches the Nine Heavens, Guyan will probably reach the Fifth or even the Sixth Heaven. No matter how monstrous Fang Zhengzhi's talent is, there's no hope!"
…
Although Fang Zhengzhi did not grow up in the forest like Yan Qing, he had hunted on the Cang Ling Mountain since he was young, so his sense of direction was still very good.
Even though he was surrounded by a thick fog, it was still unable to stop him.
However, the occasional roars of beasts made him feel helpless. There were simply too many beasts in the Jungle of Mysteries.
"You know the language of beasts too?" As Fang Zhengzhi was sprinting, Yan Qing, who had been following closely behind him, suddenly asked him this question.
"The language of beasts? No. "Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.
"Then how are you able to circumvent the beasts' territory?" Yan Qing did not seem to give up immediately, and continued to ask.
"I don't know the language of beasts, but I've been hunting in the mountains since I was young, so I know how to distinguish the sounds of the beasts," Fang Zhengzhi replied casually.
"I see." Yan Qing did not continue asking. Instead, as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi's back, the glow in his eyes grew brighter.
…
"Guo Tiannu has entered the Second Heaven!"
"…"
"Li Wuji has entered the Second Heaven!"
"Tang …"
"…"
As Fang Zhengzhi neared the Nine Heavens, the noises around him became more pronounced. From time to time, he could hear the voices of Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples who had comprehended the first Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration and entered the Second Heaven.
"That's the thirteenth one." Fang Zhengzhi counted silently in his heart.
He had to admit that those who could enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion were not weak in terms of strength and talent. The first Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration was clearly not enough to stop them.
"Xin Lian has entered the Second Heaven!"
"…"
"Shan Ding has entered the Second Heaven!"
"…"
"That's the 27th one!" Fang Zhengzhi remembered that there were only about 32 Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples who participated in the Divine Rain Pond.
27 of them entered the Second Heaven …
That was a pretty good ratio indeed.
Although it would only get harder as they progressed, it was not hard to imagine that the thirty over Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples would not stop at the Second Heaven.
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard another voice.
"Chi Guyan has entered the Fourth Heaven!"
"Chi Guyan has entered …"
"…"
"The Fourth Heaven?! Didn't they say that it would get harder as one progressed? Why is it that Chi Guyan seems to have some kind of cheat code, and is advancing so quickly? "Fang Zhengzhi was already feeling a little hopeless.
Chi Guyan was already a little too much of a genius, but she actually had some kind of cheat code. This was simply not fun at all.
"No, I have to speed up a little more!" Fang Zhengzhi glanced at Yan Qing, who was behind him. "The Nine Heavens is in the north, slightly east. Let's compete and see who can reach the Nine Heavens first?"
"Hmm?" Yan Qing was slightly taken aback, but very quickly, his eyes became extremely sharp. "Alright, if I lose, I'll be your servant for a month like Chi Guyan, but if you lose, you have to promise me something!"
"Eh? Isn't it just a casual competition? "Fang Zhengzhi naturally did not expect Yan Qing to make such a bet.
"Brother Fang, don't worry, I, Yan Qing, will never go back on my words!"
"What's your condition?"
"When I win Brother Fang, I'll naturally tell you. However, if this condition makes things difficult for Brother Fang, or if you can't fulfill it, I won't have any complaints!" Yan Qing continued.
"Alright, then let's begin!" Fang Zhengzhi did not continue speaking. After all, it was impossible for him to not agree to such a condition that he had no worries about.
"Kaboom!"
Just as Fang Zhengzhi's voice fell, a loud sound rang out. That was obviously the sound of someone stomping on the ground.
