Stillness and movement were in harmony. Trees, grass, flowers, mountains, and water were also in harmony. In the spatial world of the Mountain and River Diagram, everything seemed to be completely integrated together.
It was just like a real world.
"What kind of essence is needed to fuse everything together?" Fang Zhengzhi's mind raced. Emotions and possibilities flashed past his mind.
However, he quickly rejected them because none of the emotions and essences seemed to be able to fuse everything perfectly like what he was seeing now.
Wait a minute!
When it came to a perfect fusion like a real world that could contain the essence of everything, there seemed to be only one in this world, and that was …
Nature!
Dao followed the laws of nature!
This is a philosophical idea from the Tao Te Ching, which roughly means that the laws reflected by the "Tao" are "natural".
Humans followed Earth, Earth followed Heaven, Heaven followed Dao, and Dao followed the laws of nature.
This sentence explained the laws of life in Heaven, Earth, Humans, and even the entire universe.
Moreover, it even revealed the characteristics of the entire universe, including the attributes of all the things in the world. Everything in the universe imitated or followed the "natural" laws of "Dao".
"I understand, I understand, so that's how it is!" Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes abruptly. When he looked at his surroundings, he felt a sense of familiarity.
Nature was the essence of the world in the Mountain River Illustration.
As long as one followed the laws of nature, everything could be fused together, be it mountains, water, trees, flowers, or even movement, stillness, and all sorts of things and emotions.
"The Dao of Nature! I didn't expect Qian Ye to have mastered the Dao of Nature! " Fang Zhengzhi would be lying if he said he wasn't surprised. After all, the Dao of Nature was the Dao of all things in the universe. He really didn't expect someone to have mastered the Dao of Nature.
…
Holy Region, Ling Yun Tower.
While Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang were "struggling" in the world of the Mountain River Illustration, the disciples in front of Ling Yun Tower all heaved a sigh of relief.
"This guy doesn't seem to be as scary as I thought?"
"Yes, he actually barged in. His guts … I'm afraid he's the undisputed number one in the entire Holy Region!"
"It's just that with courage, you lost your life!"
The disciples of Ling Yun Tower held their swords in their hands and discussed softly.
When Lin Mubai heard this voice, it was like a sharp thorn stuck in his throat, making him feel uncomfortable as if he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.
"Ping … Ping Yang …" Lin Mubai muttered softly. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
It could be said that the current Lin Mubai looked somewhat miserable. It was as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years, and his body was constantly trembling.
However, his eyes were still fixed on Qian Ye.
This was because Qian Ye was holding a giant water ball that seemed to be made of water droplets. The water ball was as tall as a person.
Inside the water ball, there was another world like Mountain River Space. In that space, Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang were inside.
"Lin Mubai, since you're the ruler of a nation, killing you would be detrimental to the stability of the world. Therefore, you can leave. However, I can't forgive you for attacking my disciple in Ling Yun Tower. Swear that you'll never step into Ling Yun Tower again, and you'll pay ten years' worth of tribute to us. Do you have any objections?" Qian Ye looked at the giant water ball in her hand, then slowly looked up at Lin Mubai.
She was actually a little surprised by this outcome. After all, she didn't think that Fang Zhengzhi would be hit so easily.
At least two strikes?
There might even be a situation where multiple attacks would miss.
That was because Fang Zhengzhi's style of doing things was too "unusual". To put it bluntly, no one knew what he would do in a battle.
Moreover, according to the information that Cang Yue brought back from Flame Capital City, Fang Zhengzhi's favorite thing to do in a battle was to run away if he couldn't win.
That was also the reason why Qian Ye had so many scruples.
What would she do if she couldn't kill him in one strike?
Just like what Fang Zhengzhi had said, Ling Yun Tower was a forbidden place to most people. However, to a fearless and alone person like Fang Zhengzhi, it was like a naked girl.
He could attack whenever he wanted!
This was a very scary point.
That was because the consequences would be unimaginable if Fang Zhengzhi escaped.
That was also the biggest reason why she didn't dare to attack him. However, she had to get rid of Fang Zhengzhi's threat, because Ling Yun Tower couldn't be threatened by a single person.
Therefore, to be safe, Qian Ye had to tolerate Fang Zhengzhi's sarcasm and secretly formed two golden balls behind her back.
That was just in case.
However, it seemed like that didn't happen. Not only did Fang Zhengzhi not test the waters with fear, but he also didn't use any despicable sneak attacks.
Instead, he attacked Ling Yun Tower head-on.
Qian Ye was actually a little surprised when she saw Fang Zhengzhi charging towards her. However, she soon sneered and rejoiced.
What happened next was just a matter of time.
Qian Ye was slightly surprised that Fang Zhengzhi didn't even have the chance to use the other golden ball.
However, even though it was an accident, the outcome had already been decided. The stone that had been pressing down on her heart had finally been lifted, and her demeanor had once again recovered her previous arrogance and calmness.
Just as Fang Zhengzhi had predicted.
Qian Ye wouldn't kill Lin Mubai. Firstly, it was because Lin Mubai was indeed the ruler of a country. Even she wasn't willing to kill someone with such an identity. Secondly, Lin Mubai wasn't a threat to her at all. To put it bluntly, Lin Mubai wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
In that case, why would she want to get into trouble?
She might as well let Lin Mubai go and let him continue to sit in the palace of Great Xia Dynasty and sigh at Ling Yun Tower every day.
That was what Qian Ye thought.
However, that didn't seem to be suitable for Lin Mubai at the moment.
"Hahaha …" Lin Mubai laughed miserably. He looked at Qian Ye strangely and said, "Leader, do you really think that I'll go back with my tail between my legs?"
"Oh? What do you want then? "Qian Ye glanced at Lin Mubai. She wasn't too surprised by what he said.
After all, no matter what, Lin Mubai was still the ruler of a country. He definitely had a bit of backbone. Therefore, it was reasonable for him to say a few words that he thought were tough.
"Since I'm already here, I naturally don't intend to go back like this. Moreover, Ping Yang is in your hands now, so I can't just leave like this!" Lin Mubai replied.
"Hmm, that makes sense. However, since Ping Yang has been an outer sect servant of Ling Yun Tower for half a year and has successfully entered the Sage State, she naturally belongs to Ling Yun Tower. How about this, I promise you that I won't kill Ping Yang. I'll only imprison her for the time being." Qian Ye nodded and said.
"Haha, Qian Ye, you don't understand what I mean. What I mean is that Ping Yang is in your hands, and you can do whatever you want with her. However, since I'm here, I have no intention of leaving!" Lin Mubai laughed again.
"Are you really not going to leave?" Qian Ye frowned when she heard that.
Lin Mubai didn't say anything, but he answered Qian Ye's question confidently. At the same time, he expressed his determination.
The surrounding disciples of Ling Yun Tower exchanged glances with each other. They were all surprised by Lin Mubai's attitude.
Not killing her?
That was already the greatest gift from Ling Yun Tower!
What Lin Mubai was doing now had no meaning at all, because Lin Mubai no longer had any chips in his hands, and it was impossible for him to flip the cards.
"Interesting. If I say that I'll kill Ping Yang right now if you don't go back to where you came from, what … would you do?" Qian Ye moved her finger at this moment, and a bolt of purple lightning struck down from the gigantic water ball, striking towards Ping Yang.
No sound was heard.
However, it could be seen that Ping Yang, who was trapped in the water ball, was also bleeding from the corner of her mouth after the purple lightning struck her. She was clenching her teeth tightly.
"Ping Yang!" Lin Mubai's eyes were about to spit fire.
However, what could he do? Just like what the disciples of Ling Yun Tower knew, he no longer had any bargaining chips, so how could he negotiate with Qian Ye?
"So, are you going to leave or not?" Qian Ye's expression remained calm. She was not fazed by Lin Mubai's anger at all as she continued to speak calmly.
"Qian Ye, you …"
"It seems like you really want to see Ping Yang die in front of you?" Qian Ye moved her finger again as soon as she said that.
"No!"
"Leader, no!"
Just as Qian Ye's fingers moved, two voices sounded out at the same time. The former was naturally Lin Mubai, while the latter was Cang Yue.
Cang Yue was stopping Qian Ye?
This undoubtedly surprised the disciples of Ling Yun Tower, and made Qian Ye frown again.
"Leader, do you really dare to kill Ping Yang?" Cang Yue kneeled on the ground and shouted before Qian Ye could say anything.
"Why not?" Qian Ye replied casually.
"Aren't you afraid that master will break free from the seal after killing Ping Yang?" Cang Yue continued to kneel without lifting her head.
"Oh?" Qian Ye narrowed her eyes and glanced at Cang Yue. She was clearly a little surprised when she saw Cang Yue's purple dress that was stained with blood, "Cang Yue, did you also think that I would be afraid of Yu 'er breaking free from the seal?"
"On the day Master was sealed, Tower Master Lan sent someone to give me a cup of tea. Then, I fell into a deep slumber for three days and three nights. When I woke up, Tower Master Lan had already died from her severe injuries and Master had been sealed!"
"What are you trying to say?"
"Leader, are you really not afraid that master will break free from the seal?"
"How dare you!" Qian Ye's tone finally changed, and a cold glint flashed across her eyes when she looked at Cang Yue. However, she quickly regained her composure and said, "Cang Yue, do you really believe Fang Zhengzhi's nonsense? Anyone could harm Leader Lan and seal Yu Er, but you should know that I would never do that. "
"Yes … I have always believed that Leader Lan would never harm master, but how do you explain the fact that Ling Yun Realm is incomplete?"
"I've already told you that it was an accident. When Yu 'er was sealed, she did not do it willingly. That's why …"
"That's a reasonable reason, but I don't believe it if it's master, because master would never disobey Leader Lan!" Cang Yue said firmly.
"People will always change, not to mention being sealed." Qian Ye subconsciously moved her finger again, which caused the gigantic water ball in her hand to ripple.
However, the ripple was so small that one wouldn't have noticed it if one hadn't been staring at the gigantic water ball.
Therefore, Cang Yue wouldn't have noticed it under normal circumstances.
That was because her head had been on the ground the entire time, and she hadn't lifted her head at all.
It was the same for Lin Mubai. After all, he had been staring at Ping Yang in the gigantic water ball, and didn't notice Qian Ye's finger at all.
However, there were no absolutes in everything.
Cang Yue's head was always on the ground. In such a position, her vision would naturally be limited. However, if there was a pool of blood on the ground and there was a golden curtain of light shining down from the sky, some things would change without anyone noticing.
"Leader, why are you so nervous?" Cang Yue raised her head fiercely at this moment. Her originally cold face actually had a hint of malevolence at this moment.
"Nervous?" Qian Ye narrowed her eyes and took a serious look at Cang Yue. Then, she revealed an amiable smile and said, "Cang Yue, are you injured? Are you too tired? If you're really tired, you can go back to the building to rest."
