Chapter 644: A Hundred Years to Enter the Sage State

Fang Zhengzhi did not think too much, because in his situation, there’s already no need to continue thinking. He would just have to react to any problems accordingly, as for the path…..

If there wasn’t one.

Then open one up!

…..

At the Heaven Dao Pavilion, on top of the valley of the Sword Peak.

Fifth Elder looked towards Third Elder, before gazing at the Sword Peak, his expression filled with suspicion and worry.

“Third Brother, there was a great opportunity just now, why didn’t you take that punk down?” Fifth Elder did not quite understand, as that situation was perfect for a showdown.

An arrow can be shot.

But once it’s shot, it cannot be withdrawn.

However, the “arrow” that Third Elder had shot just now was able to be withdrawn. Moreover, he even left Fang Zhengzhi alone on top of the Sword Peak.

“Aren’t you curious?” Third Elder asked.

“Curious? To say I’m not curious at all would be fake, but even if I am, we can first nab this punk?” Fifth Elder still did not quite understand.

“The Green Flame Beast still managed to follow his command, what do you think is the reason?”

“This…. Third Brother’s meaning is?”

“Near-Life Dao! In the air, to perfectly control the Green Flame Beast, other than the Near-Life Dao, I cannot think of a second possibility!” Third Elder was confident.

“But, shouldn’t Near-Life Dao belong to the Holy Barbarian Empire…..”

“Right, normally, only the royal family from the Holy Barbarian Empire would be able to control the Near-Life Dao. But, he injured Sima Feng heavily, do you think he’s be from the Holy Barbarian Empire?”

“No!”

“Hm, this punk has more substance than what we have thought of him!” A smile appeared on Third Elder’s mouth.

“What does Third Brother plan to do?”

“There’s no need to rush temporarily. I allowed him to participate in the third segment, so as to see what’s his motive of helping us host this test?” Third Elder shook his head.

“That’s right too, since the punk had already reached the Heaven Dao Pavilion, there’s little possibility that he would run away. Third Brother, what do you think is his identity?” Fifth Elder asked.

“I’m not sure, initially I had guessed that there was 70% chance that it was the Great Xia’s Fang Zhengzhi, but now, I’m confident that he’s not!”

“Third Brother made the same guess as me. While Fang Zhengzhi was famous for being a genius, he’s only in the Supernatural State. But looking at this punk’s capabilities, it’s quite obvious that he’s stepped into the Rebirth State. However, what’s bothering me is that, if it is not Fang Zhengzhi, then why would we intentionally help Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu?” Fifth Elder nodded his head while voicing his uncertainty.

“Maybe it’s just a coincidence, after all, this punk is very bright, he’s able to look into a person’s expression. Maybe he had guessed that we were unsatisfied with the situation, hence intentionally letting Nangong Mu and Yan Xiu off. But I did not expect that he managed to spot the two traps that I have set for him in my questions, and even skillfully answered them. If it weren’t for the fact that I knew Kong Qing’s capabilities were not so high, I may have been duped by him!” Third Elder sighed.

“Talking about capabilities, aren’t this punk’s understanding and feelings towards Dao similar to that of Nangong Hao?” Fifth Elder directed his gaze towards the Sword Peak.

“Hm, with these capabilities, if he were from the Four Countries, he would have been famous already. If I’m not guessing wrongly, there’s a 90% chance that this punk is related to the other sectors!” Third Elder had a cold look in his eyes.

“If this punk was from the other sectors, no matter which sector, he must be punished to death, for daring to fooling around during the Heaven Dao Pavilion selection test!”

“Yes, even though it’s a little pitiful, but this world is not lacking in intelligence and talents, and since we’re discussing about talent, who else can be compared to Chi Guyan?”

“Hahaha… How can Third Brother compare this punk to Chi Guyan? Chi Guyan is the Chosen One, who can be compared to her in this world?”

“Actually, there’s another reason for my inaction just now.” Third Brother’s expression become even more dignified after pausing for a while.

“Is Third Brother referring to the punk taking two steps back away from me?”

“Ng, if I didn’t guess wrongly, he should be preparing to attack just now!” Third Elder nodded his head.

“I felt it too, just that, I did not expect that in my Heaven Dao Pavilion, there would actually be someone who dare to attack me? Even so, it’s just the thought!” Fifth Elder nodded his head too.

“Let’s not discuss if this punk has the capabilities to attack first. Just based on his arrogance, I can’t help but alter the plan, I will temporarily keep him!”

“Third Brother’s meant that…..?”

“Yes, in that situation, I did not have the full assurance!”

“Si!” Fifth Elder let out a breath of cold air, “Third Brother is saying that there’s a possibility that the punk might have escaped in front of the both of us?”

“Since he dared to follow us up to the Heaven Dao Pavilion, this must be part of his battle plan!”

“Hmm…..” Fifth Elder went silent, as he frowned his eyebrows. Thereafter, he continued saying, “If we weren’t able to capture him, what would happen if this punk enter the Sage State?”

“Sage State? That’s not based on endowment, but luck!” Third Elder shook his head, and squinted his eyes. “But, just in case this punk managed to enter the Sage State luckily, there would be someone that can control him. If he were to live for another 100 years, then I’m afraid that only Chi Guyan would be able to so!”

“100 years? What if after 100 years, even Chi Guyan wasn’t able to control him?”

“Impossible!”

“Hehe….Of course! Tomorrow is the arrival of the Heavenly Prophecy, not sure if Chi Guyan has arrived already?” Fifth Elder smiled as he looked at the horizon.

“Chi Guyan this child always knows how to weigh the importance, she will definitely come tomorrow!” Third Elder was confident.

“Ng, definitely!” Fifth Elder nodded his head and did not say anything else, as he looked at the two blurry figures who were hanging on the valley.

…..

As the Sword Peak did not have any trees, the environment seemed a bit harsh.

However, to Fang Zhengzhi, this harshness did not mean much to him. He found a comfortable position, and he closed his eyes, bracing the cold wind.

After half an hour, a soft rattling sound came from below the valley.

“Arrived?” Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes slowly and glanced across the valley. He spotted two crawling figures very quickly.

It is needless to say that, without using the Dao of All Creation, one would had to rely entirely on one’s bodily strength to crawl from the foot of the mountain, which was an arduous task.

It can be said that it would be impossible to do so if one were not in the Supernatural State.

“Eh? Isn’t it Qian Wu?” Fang Zhengzhi had initially thought that there was an 80% possibility that Qian Wu would be the first to reach the top. Afterall, he had already reached the peak of the Rebirth State, this is an undeniable fact.

But the reality was that, instead, it was a youth wearing a dark green robe.

His tanned skin emitted a wild vibe under the sunlight. He was in his early twenties, but his expression seemed very sharp, resembling a wild beast.

This led Fang Zhengzhi to feel a little shocked.

What was even more shocking was that…..

The person that was trailing closing behind the youth, was actually Nangong Mu!

“Is Nangong Mu that capable?” Fang Zhengzhi recalled the competition between them that had occured two years ago. The Nangong Mu then, was only in the Heavenly Reflection State.

But, in just the short span of two years, he was able to overtake Qian Wu who was in the Rebirth State. This made him slightly surprised.

Seems like, he wants to be first?

Fang Zhengzhi grinned a little, and let out a bland smile. He scanned the surroundings, before laying his attention of a pile of shattered stones.

“Hm, it’s time to increase the difficulty!” Fang Zhengzhi was a person who enjoys helping others, and when faced in a situation with a friend and a stranger, it was extremely easy to make a choice.

He carried two big stones over quickly.

Then…..

They slipped out of his hands!

“Gulu gulu!” The two stones accidentally fell down from his hands, sliding against the mountain cliff and towards the youth clothed in the dark green robe.

The youth’s gaze trembled vigorously as he saw the falling stones. Then, he quickly realised the Fang Zhengzhi who was standing beside the cliff.

“No wonder!” The youth was not angered by Fang Zhengzhi’s attack on him. Rather, he felt that Fang Zhengzhi was intentionally testing him.

His tanned limbs seemed to be speaking with lines of bulging veins.

“Hong!” A loud sound reverberated.

The youth actually inserted one of his palms into the wall of the cliff. Next, he swung his body in the air, and using the strength from his palm, straightened his body vertically against the cliff.

Fang Zhengzhi opened his mouth wide in disbelief.

Looking at the youth’s pure muscular strength to move himself, he can’t help but think, if it were him that encountered such a situation, would he able to do it?

The answer was obvious.

He can’t do it!

And the most important reason was, he cannot bring himself to follow the actions of the youth, which was to be so heartless to his palm.

As the saying goes, those who are willing to be firm to themselves, are the real ruthless ones.

The two stones finally brushed past the youth’s body.

Then…..

A loud screeching sound echoed from beneath the youth.

“Aiya, who….. Threw the stones?!” The voice sounded angry, and muffled at the same time too. Clearly, he had been struck by the stones.

Of course, most importantly, the voice sounded familiar.

“Qian Wu? This….. Can I say that I’m not on purpose?” Fang Zhengzhi was speechless, as he had clearly throw the stones towards the youth, yet they had struck Qian Wu. Was this called the legend’s destiny?
