The Heaven Dao disciple with the surname Lu was on the verge of breaking down. To be able to leave the Jungle of Mysteries in less than an hour was already a huge blow to his and his fellow disciples.
And at this moment …
Comprehending the first Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration in one glance. Could anyone believe that? Of course, no one believed it, but it happened right in front of their eyes.
How could they not believe it?
In short, in that instant, the Heaven Dao disciple with the surname Lu and his fellow disciples felt a chill run down their spine, as though they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Even now, he had yet to fully recover.
Sixth Elder and the surrounding Heaven Dao disciples were also completely stunned.
How long had it been?
How long had it been since Fang Zhengzhi entered the Nine Heavens?
How could he be so fast?
How could he be so fast!
…
Divine Rain Pond, Nine Heavens.
Fang Zhengzhi stared at the scroll that had suddenly disappeared before his eyes, unable to react for a moment. What's going on? Did I break it just like that?
Just as he was thinking about this, the scenery in front of him changed. In the next moment, he found himself on another piece of green grass. In front of him, there were close to 30 Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples staring at him unblinkingly. All of them looked as if they had seen a ghost.
In fact, anyone would have the same expression when something like this happened.
The nearly thirty Heaven Dao disciples stared at Fang Zhengzhi, who had appeared in front of them. They could still hear the authoritative voice reverberating in their ears, and were completely dumbfounded.
"How did Fang Zhengzhi get to the Nine Heavens?"
"That's not right, how did he get to the Second Heavens of the Nine Heavens?"
"When did he get out of the Jungle of Mysteries?"
"Is this guy really human?!"
Countless questions reverberated in the minds of the 30 Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples, just like bolts of lightning flashing across their minds, not stopping for a long time.
Of course, compared to the 30 Heaven Dao disciples standing in the Second Heaven of the Nine Heavens, the remaining four disciples who were still in the First Heaven at this moment were clearly scared out of their wits.
As Heaven Dao disciples …
They had their own pride. They were once known as geniuses in their own fields, and were respected and admired by countless people.
But now …
They had fallen behind the majority of the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.
More than thirty Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples had entered the Nine Heavens together to view the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustrations, but they had yet to decipher the first illustration.
This had already dealt a severe blow to their hearts.
However, Fang Zhengzhi's actions had undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Furthermore, it was a fire that could burn them to the brink of death.
The four Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at each other, recalling the scene of Fang Zhengzhi comprehending the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration with a single glance. Their eyes were filled with desolation, and they truly felt as though they had nothing left to live for.
"…"
"What just happened?"
"He … he seems to have comprehended this Nine … Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration?!"
The four Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples stared at the picture that was still hovering above their heads, as well as the thick line of black ink on it. Finally, they could not take the blow any longer. Their legs gave way and they fell to the ground.
Yan Qing's expression was also a little strange.
He did not lose. Of course, he did not win either, because he and Fang Zhengzhi stepped into the Nine Heavens at almost the same time.
Of course …
That was not the main point.
The main point was that Fang Zhengzhi, who had stepped into the Nine Heavens at the same time, seemed to have already reached the Second Heavens, while he was still standing in the same spot.
"This illustration, is it really that simple?" Yan Qing raised his head and looked at the picture above his head, at the thick line of black ink.
In an instant, he seemed to have entered another world. This was a world without anything. There were no mountains, no water, no trees, no flowers, and no grass.
There was only emptiness. Complete emptiness.
Where was this?
A heavy sense of oppression assaulted Yan Qing, causing him to subconsciously wave his fists. One punch, two punches, three punches … punching and punching non-stop.
However, emptiness. It was still emptiness.
Nothing had changed.
That's not right!
I should be in the Nine Heavens, I should be looking at the Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration. That's right, that stroke, that stroke on the white picture.
Yan Qing's fists subconsciously began to move according to that stroke. From top to bottom, it was very slow, but it was extremely strenuous for him.
"Boom!" A dull sound rang out, as if in an instant, the white world had been broken apart by this one punch.
The original white disappeared, replaced by the trees and the green grass. The picture before him disappeared, and an authoritative voice rang out beside his ear.
"Yan Qing, enter the Second Heavens!"
"…" The remaining four Heaven Dao disciples in the First Heavens, sitting on the grass, watched as Yan Qing disappeared before their eyes. Their mouths twitched, and two drops of tears rolled down their cheeks amidst the drizzle.
Did he have to deal such a blow to them?!
…
"Did he have to deal such a blow to them?!"
In the Second Heavens of the Nine Heavens, nearly thirty Heaven Dao disciples had the same thought as the four disciples in the First Heavens.
That was because the dignified voice in the sky had sounded again.
"Fang Zhengzhi, enter the Third Heavens!"
"… The Third Heavens!"
"…"
Was there anything more devastating than being suddenly overtaken by someone from behind after running for almost an hour after grabbing the starting line?
Yes!
That was, being overtaken at the Second Heavens!
"…" The thirty or so disciples standing in the Heaven Dao Pavilion were speechless. They could not understand how monstrous a person had to be to be able to destroy the second Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration in less than fifteen minutes.
Astonishment.
While they were astonished, another voice rang out beside their ears.
"Yan Qing, enter the Second Heavens!"
"…" Nearly thirty Heaven Dao disciples subconsciously turned to look at Yan Qing, who had appeared before them. Their faces instantly flushed red.
Indeed, this was a world where monstrous geniuses ran rampant!
As seniors who had been in the Heaven Dao Pavilion for a few years, after being dealt a blow by a monstrous genius, he was now overtaken by a junior who had just joined the sect.
How could they accept such a blow to their hearts?
Shame, incomparable shame.
And Yan Qing evidently did not notice the expressions of his senior brothers in front of him. Or rather, he did not even look at them once since he entered the Second Heavens.
Because when he entered the Second Heavens, he also heard the voice beside his ear.
Fang Zhengzhi …
Had already entered the Third Heavens.
Even though the duel between him and Fang Zhengzhi had already ended, in Yan Qing's heart, how could a duel without a winner be considered over?
Hence, he continued to compete.
And this time, he was competing to see who could reach the highest point.
"So fast, really so fast! But I … will definitely surpass you! " As Yan Qing made up his mind, his gaze also turned to the second Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration hanging in the sky.
Compared to the first Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration, the second one before him clearly had more ink on it, but only by a little.
It was an unusually sloppy painting.
It looked as if someone who knew nothing about calligraphy had casually scribbled on it. Yet, it gave off a very natural feeling.
Nothing could be seen on the painting.
Of course, if one had to describe it with something, it would be fog. Thick fog, or perhaps it could also be called wind, the wind that was casually scribbled on the painting.
"What does this mean?" Unlike when he had instantly entered a different world when he saw the first painting, this time, Yan Qing was clearly a little lost.
…
"The first painting's stroke is obviously the simplicity of all things, and the second painting is naturally the nature of all things. Isn't this Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration a little too simple?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the endless grassland in front of him, as well as the third Nine Heavens Sagely Illustration that had appeared above his head, and casually twitched his lips.
All of a sudden, he inexplicably felt the desolate loneliness of an expert. It was as if he was standing on the peak of a mountain, unable to see his opponent.
However, at this moment, a voice rang beside his ear.
"Chi Guyan has entered the Fifth Heavens!"
"… The Fifth Heavens!"
"…"
"F * ck!" Fang Zhengzhi subconsciously raised his middle finger above his head. He had originally thought that as long as he reached the next Heavens, he would be able to give Chi Guyan a huge surprise.
But now, it seemed that he had thought too much.
Indeed, she had started fast. He had only just entered the Third Heavens, but Chi Guyan had already entered the Fifth Heavens.
The difference of two Heavens.
It was not small!
On the contrary, it was extremely large.
This was because Fang Zhengzhi knew very well that the further he went, the more difficult it would be to decipher the paintings.
Just like just now, the moment he saw the second painting, he had thought of the words' nature of all things'. However, thinking about it and deciphering it were two completely different things.
He had to hurry!
Fang Zhengzhi's gaze quickly turned to the painting above his head. This was a painting of splashing ink. Starting from the top left of the painting, the ink was thick and dense, and as it went down to the right, the ink gradually became clearer, and finally disappeared without a trace.
Drops of ink, big and small, splashed around the painting. It looked very random, but there was a faint pattern to it.
Fang Zhengzhi frowned slightly.
It was obvious that the difficulty of this painting was much greater than the previous two. This was because, in that instant, he was actually a little uncertain as to what the meaning of this painting was.
Splashing ink?
This ink …
What did it represent?
