"What exactly is it? There is no pattern at all! " Fang Zhengzhi looked at the golden dragon on the scroll and tried to analyze the movement and trajectory of the golden dragon. However, after looking at it for more than 15 minutes, he did not see any repetition at all. It felt as though there was no pattern to it at all.
This made him even more anxious.
The Seventh Heaven...
If he could not even break through the Seventh Heaven, how could he surpass Chi Guyan and enter the Ninth Heaven?
Would he really have to be Chi Guyan's servant? He did not know how Chi Guyan would torture him. If it was just serving tea, he might be able to endure it.
What if she played with wax, or a whip, what would he do?
Fang Zhengzhi felt that the possibility of this was very small. However, nothing was absolute in this world. Who could be 100% sure that such a thing would not happen?
Even if Chi Guyan did not have such a hobby, but if she really wanted to try it out, as a servant, he could not resist.
No!
He could not let this happen!
But, how could he break it? A dragon, and a dragon with no pattern at all. No matter how he looked at it, this had nothing to do with "Dao".
Pattern...
No pattern?
If there was no pattern, did it have something to do with the dragon itself?
No, no!
He was talking to Chi Guyan about the Illustration of All Creation. Chi Guyan relied on his reminder to break through the Seventh Heaven and fly to the Eighth Heaven.
This was very important!
What was the Illustration of All Creation? It was a change, a change in a scroll!
Dragon...
Change!
"Could it be..." Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in Fang Zhengzhi's mind, and this idea became clearer and clearer.
He actually had some understanding of the dragon.
All along, in the legends, the dragon was an illusory existence. Of course, that was in the past. In this world, Fang Zhengzhi did not dare to confirm this.
However, from the records, he knew that the image of the dragon was a combination, or rather, a myriad of changes.
In the 'Compendium of Materia Medica', it says: 'Dragons are the long scales of insects. They have eighty-one scales on their back, with nine by nine Yang numbers. Their voice is like a copper plate. They have whiskers by the side of their mouth, pearls under their chin, scales under their throat, and mountains on their head. They are also known as the Chi Wood. Without the Chi Wood, dragons cannot ascend to heaven.
During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao had also outlined the characteristics of the dragon. "The dragon can be big or small, it can rise or hide. When it's big, it can spit out fog. When it's small, it can hide. When it's small, it can hide. When it's high, it can soar through the universe. When it's low, it can hide within the waves."
These were the introductions to the characteristics of the dragon. Apart from these, there was also the image of the dragon. The most common description was called the Nine Resemblances: the horns of a deer, the head of a cow, the eyes of a shrimp, the mouth of a donkey, the belly of a snake, the scales of a fish, the feet of a phoenix, the whiskers of a human, and the ears of an elephant.
It could be said that the dragon itself was a kind of change, or rather, a creature that had all kinds of changes in one body. It had all kinds of biological characteristics.
"Got it, got it!" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up. At the same time, golden symbols flashed in his eyes.
This was the same scene as when Chi Guyan broke through the Seventh Heaven.
As these golden symbols lit up, Fang Zhengzhi felt that the dragon in front of him became clearer. It was as if it was flowing in his body.
"I see … this is the Nine Heavens?" At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi finally understood the meaning of the Upper Nine Heavens.
In the Lower Three Heavens, it was the characteristics of Dao. The Great Dao was the simplest, the source of Dao and so on.
When it came to the Middle Three Heavens, it was about changes. There were countless changes in Dao. As the saying goes, there are three thousand Great Daos.
As for the Upper Three Heavens …
It was about fusion. The fusion of Dao and the fusion of changes. As the saying goes, Dao begets One, One begets Two, Two begets Three, and Three begets all things. Similarly, all things could become One.
"Yan Qing, enter the Seventh Heaven!"
"Yan Qing, enter …"
"…"
At this moment, an authoritative voice rang out. Then, Yan Qing appeared in front of Fang Zhengzhi.
"Fang Zhengzhi, you haven't broken through the Seventh Heaven …" Yan Qing looked at Fang Zhengzhi the moment he appeared.
However, before he could finish speaking, the dignified voice in the sky had already cut him off.
"Fang Zhengzhi, enter the Eighth Heaven!"
"Fang Zhengzhi, enter …"
"…"
After the voice rang out, Fang Zhengzhi's body disappeared on the spot.
"…" Yan Qing's mouth moved. He looked at the empty Seventh Heaven and the seven snow-white pillars in front of him. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
However, at this moment, a voice entered his ears.
"Thousands of changes, merge into one!"
"Thousands of changes … merge into one?" Yan Qing could naturally tell that the voice came from Fang Zhengzhi. However, he didn't understand what Fang Zhengzhi meant.
However, he still looked at the scroll floating above his head.
"Dragon?!" When Yan Qing saw the scroll, his expression wasn't any calmer than when Fang Zhengzhi saw the scroll. Instead, his expression was even more exaggerated. "Why is there a dragon? This dragon … What does it mean? "
…
When the news of Fang Zhengzhi entering the Eighth Heaven reached the outside of the Divine Rain Pond, it naturally shocked the Sixth Elder and the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples.
After all, in the entire history of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, there weren't many people who could enter the Eighth Heaven. In fact, there were very few.
There were only seven.
And now, this number had been successfully rewritten, from the original seven to the current nine. Furthermore, it was rewritten on the same day.
How could they not be shocked?
Of course, although they were shocked, the competition in the Divine Rain Pond had ended. The Eighth Heaven was everyone's final destination.
"Did this guy really do it? He entered the Eighth Heaven! How did he do it? "
"I don't know, but one thing is for sure, this guy is indeed a peerless genius. He's strong, he's really strong!"
"Yes, how can someone who can enter the Eighth Heaven not be strong?"
While the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples were shocked, they looked at the Divine Rain Pond's five-colored water with a look of respect in their eyes.
Even the Sixth Elder, after hearing this news, was shocked and let out a soft sigh. "What a good seedling! What a pity, what a pity … "
"Speaking of which, Yan Qing has also entered the Seventh Heaven. I wonder if he can enter the Eighth Heaven. After all, there's still an hour before the Divine Rain Pond closes!"
"If Yan Qing can enter the Eighth Heaven, it'll be a miracle!"
"Hahaha … That's true. Three people entered the Eighth Heaven at the same time in one day. I wouldn't even dare to think about such a thing if it was any other time!"
The Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples looked at the sky, then turned their attention to another person. That person was Yan Qing, who had entered the Seventh Heaven.
After all, in their hearts, Chi Guyan and Fang Zhengzhi had already reached the peak.
It was impossible for them to enter again!
…
Divine Rain Pond, Eighth Heaven.
Once Fang Zhengzhi entered, he saw eight snow-white pillars that were exactly the same as the one in the Seventh Heaven, and Chi Guyan standing in front of them.
She wore a long pink dress, which fluttered gently.
It was a beautiful scene. However, Fang Zhengzhi didn't have the mood to admire it. Because, Chi Guyan was obviously focused on the painting above her head.
She didn't greet Fang Zhengzhi like she did in the Seventh Heaven.
"Oh? Are you looking at the painting? Do you have any insights to share with me? Who knows, you might be able to receive guidance from me like you did in the Seventh Heaven. After all, you have to understand that it was all thanks to me that you were able to reach the Eighth Heaven, right? "Fang Zhengzhi said as he strode towards Chi Guyan.
Of course, as he walked over, his eyes couldn't be idle. He directly looked at the painting above his head.
Just a glance …
Fang Zhengzhi's footsteps stopped.
Because, the painting above his head didn't have any ink or pictures on it. It was just a piece of white paper.
White paper?!
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly had a feeling that trust and love no longer existed in this world. The fact that a dragon had appeared in the Seventh Heaven almost made him break his hair from clenching his fists.
The Eighth Heaven actually produced a piece of white paper?
How was he supposed to play?
This was like waiting confidently for the examiner to come up with a question. However, the examiner didn't say a single word and directly threw a blank paper to him.
No question …
How to answer?
The scope of the question was too wide. It was so wide that he could only rely on his luck to guess what the examiner was thinking.
However, Fang Zhengzhi didn't even know who the examiner was. So, how could he guess what the examiner was thinking?
After hearing Fang Zhengzhi's words, Chi Guyan slowly retracted her gaze. Then, she slowly turned her body towards Fang Zhengzhi.
"My thinking is that all things come from nothing, then from existence to complete disappearance. All things come from nothing and disappear into nothing. What about you? Do you have a different idea? " Chi Guyan opened her mouth the moment she turned around. There was no hesitation in her expression.
"All things come from nothing, then from existence to complete disappearance?" Fang Zhengzhi was slightly taken aback. He couldn't help but repeat Chi Guyan's words softly.
However, Chi Guyan's words undoubtedly shocked him. After all, he really didn't expect Chi Guyan to so generously voice out her thoughts.
This was obviously different from Chi Guyan's pretense in the Seventh Heaven.
"If you don't have any ideas for now, you can take a look first." Chi Guyan looked at Fang Zhengzhi and found a place to sit down. She didn't look at the painting above her head anymore.
"Why did you voice out your thoughts?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chi Guyan as she sat down. The doubt in his heart grew stronger.
Originally, he wanted to provoke Chi Guyan with his words. Then, he would use his provocative words to disrupt Chi Guyan's thoughts.
He didn't even hesitate to put Chi Guyan on the ground.
But …
Chi Guyan's initiative to sit on the ground made Fang Zhengzhi feel as if he had punched cotton. He had no strength at all.
"Didn't you say it just now? It was all thanks to your reminder that I was able to reach the Eighth Heaven. So, of course, I have to voice out my feelings here. "Chi Guyan replied with a matter-of-fact expression.
"I almost believed you." Fang Zhengzhi's mouth twitched in disdain. He wouldn't be so naive to think that Chi Guyan would have such a realization.
He knew Chi Guyan very well.
Based on Chi Guyan's character, there was no way she would admit defeat. Furthermore, she had spent so much effort to set up this chess game.
If Chi Guyan really wanted him to win, she wouldn't have purposely announced the bet with him and let Sixth Elder bring him to the Jungle of Mysteries.
A trap!
It was obvious that this was another trap!
Fang Zhengzhi wouldn't fall for it. However, he couldn't find any loopholes in Chi Guyan's words.
Because, just like what Chi Guyan had said …
The piece of white paper in front of him might really be as she said. Everything came from nothing, and then, from something to nothing, it would completely disappear.
But if that was really the case, why would Chi Guyan tell him this? And most importantly, why was she still in the Eighth Heaven?
There was a problem.
There must be a problem.
But, where was the crux of the problem?
Fang Zhengzhi couldn't figure it out. However, he still looked at the picture above him seriously. After a while, he came to a conclusion. .
It was really a piece of white paper.
Furthermore, it was a piece of paper without any inscriptions or ink. It was an extremely ordinary piece of white paper.
Did he have to look at this piece of white paper for two hours?
Fang Zhengzhi's gaze subconsciously fell on Chi Guyan, who was still sitting on the grass with her eyes closed. He didn't stand on ceremony and sat down beside Chi Guyan.
A light breeze blew past, ruffling Chi Guyan's long dress.
In an instant, Fang Zhengzhi could smell the faint fragrance from Chi Guyan's body, as well as her warm body temperature and aura.
"I have a question to ask you." Fang Zhengzhi laid down and looked at the sky above his head as he asked casually.
"Go ahead." Chi Guyan didn't open her eyes, but nodded lightly.
"Say, if I suddenly attack and knock you out, does that count as my win?" Fang Zhengzhi moved his body, trying to make his position as comfortable as possible.
"No." Chi Guyan's answer was very straightforward.
"Knocking you out doesn't count as my win?"
"Of course it doesn't count. We're competing to see who can reach higher levels faster. I've already reached the Eighth Heaven before you. If you can't reach the Ninth Heaven, then I'll win this bet." Chi Guyan replied.
"That's because I helped you!" Fang Zhengzhi was a little unhappy.
"But, the truth is that I am faster than you, isn't that right?" At this point, Chi Guyan's body slowly lay down, and she actually laid down with Fang Zhengzhi.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi didn't say anything. Because, what Chi Guyan said was the truth. They were indeed competing to see who could reach higher levels faster.
If he and Chi Guyan stopped at the Eighth Heaven, then the result would naturally be Chi Guyan's win, and he would lose.
Just as he was thinking about this, Fang Zhengzhi felt the warm breath getting stronger. Then, he felt a little weight on his shoulder.
"Hmm?" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes moved, and very quickly, he realized that Chi Guyan's head was actually resting on his shoulder.
It can't be?
Is Chi Guyan's heart budding?
My charm has suddenly become so great? At this time, shouldn't I take the opportunity to take a little pee or something?
But that's not right. He had stayed in Chi Guyan's small wooden hut for a period of time, and Chi Guyan had always maintained a suitable distance from him.
This is a conspiracy!
Chi Guyan's actions were very abnormal. First, she was kind enough to share her experiences, and now, she was actually playing this game with him.
Wait a minute …
Is this girl trying to delay time?
When this thought flashed across Fang Zhengzhi's mind, he instantly woke up. Then, a drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
Obviously, Chi Guyan was now deliberately delaying time.
First, she acted like a good person, and shared her experiences. Then, in order to let his guard down, she sat on the ground and closed her eyes to rest, as if she had given up on the Eighth Heaven.
Indeed, they were both actors!
Most importantly, he was naive enough to think that he could get more useful information from Chi Guyan, and came here to chat with her.
But the reality was, if Chi Guyan could really solve the Eighth Heaven by herself, she probably wouldn't even wait for Fang Zhengzhi to come up, and would directly go up.
Trap, it was all a trap.
"I'm going to look at the picture!" Fang Zhengzhi moved his shoulders, and stood up again. Then, he looked at the white paper above his head.
"Hmm, actually, I have another experience, do you want to hear it?" At this moment, Chi Guyan's body also sat up, and the corners of her mouth subconsciously curved into a smile.
"Less tricks, more sincerity!" Fang Zhengzhi didn't waste any time, and immediately gave Chi Guyan a middle finger, and a look of disdain.
"Haha …" Chi Guyan heard this, and finally couldn't help but laugh, like a beautiful flower that had finally fully bloomed.
That was a beauty that could instantly make the brightest stars in the sky lose their light. It was dazzling, breathtaking, and fragrant.
