Gate of God

“Ah… I don’t want to die yet!” Ping Yang screamed and grabbed onto Fang Zhengzhi with all her might while looking extremely terrified.

Chi Guyan frowned too.

She realized something was wrong almost immediately but the black cloud patterns moved so quickly that they wound around her body and tied her down in a blink of an eye.

“Shameless thief, we can’t leave now. We can only hang in there and pray that we will be able to withstand the power of the Cloud Pattern Tree!” Chi Guyan turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi.

“Hang in there?” Fang Zhengzhi knew what Chi Guyan meant.

The situation was very simple. The Cloud Pattern Tree had lost its formation and required a substitute urgently. Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi, Chi Guyan and the rest were in the formation.

There were only two possibilities in this situation.

One would be the explosion of the formation like the five piles of stones after failing to withstand the force. The other would be them regaining control of the Cloud Pattern Tree.

However, the energy of the Cloud Pattern Tree was way too powerful.

How difficult was it to control the immense energy?

Even Fang Zhengzhi struggled to control the tree, what about Yan Xiu? How probable would it be for Yan Xiu to control it?

Most importantly…

What about Ping Yang?

Ping Yang had just reached the Sagely State. The chances of her failing to withstand the immense energy were at least 90 percent.

Moreover, there was another person that Fang Zhengzhi had to consider.

Yun Qingwu.

A terrible fighter who was only at the Star Conglomerate State.

“Let’s fuse our powers with the Dao of Yin Yang!” Chi Guyan took two steps forward with much struggle and went beside Fang Zhengzhi before calling Ping Yang and Yan Xiu over.

“Dao of Yin Yang?” Fang Zhengzhi suddenly realized that he had once used the method of fusion of powers to withstand the immense energy of Thousand Years Fire Herb with Chi Guyan.

Using the Dao of Yin Yang to resolve the crisis…

Seemed to be the best method.

However, he had never tried to fuse his powers with so many people. This was a very difficult attempt.

However, he had no other choice.

“Yun Qingwu, give me your hand.” Fang Zhengzhi held Chi Guyan on one hand and stretched out his other hand to Yun Qingwu.

“Me?” Yun Qingwu was slightly stunned.

Her entire body was already wrapped by the black cloud patterns. They flowed continuously on her face and her body.

She looked as though she was in extreme agony.

That was because the energy was so immense that she was unable to withstand it. She could even predict that her body was going to break down.

Yet now, Fang Zhengzhi stretched out his hand to her?

“Hmph!” Ping Yang snorted and looked unhappy. She pouted but after remembering what Yun Qingwu said regarding the record of the Source of God in “An Ancient Handwritten Letter” and how she tried very hard to make a breakthrough on the formation, she eventually kept silent

However, despite that, Ping Yang did not hold Yun Qingwu’s hand. Instead, she held Chi Guyan and Yan Xiu.

“Nangong Mu’s body is also…” Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan as he held Ping Yang using one hand and hugged Nangong Mu using the other.

“Hmm, bring him along!” Chi Guyan knew what Yan Xiu meant.

It was not the time to abandon anyone. With the addition of Nangong Mu, they would have more power to withstand the energy and was definitely beneficial given the current situation.

“Xiu, hold Nangong Mu. Yun Qingwu, hold him too. The six of us shall form a circle and sit down. Do not resist and I will lead the energy of the Cloud Pattern Tree.” Fang Zhengzhi did not oppose and sat down with Chi Guyan and Yun Qingwu.

Yun Qingwu kept silent.

She allowed Fang Zhengzhi to hold her hand. However, when she sat down, an extremely complicated gaze flashed past her eyes.

The six of them formed a circle very quickly.

Every one of them was surrounded by black cloud patterns and were slightly glowing. The intense energy flowed wildly.

Ping Yang looked a little pale.

She looked as if she could not hold on any further. Her body shook slightly and she looked extremely serious and was no longer joking around excitedly.

Yan Xiu, on the other hand, looked slightly better.

Amongst the six of them, Yun Qingwu suffered the most. Her face turned purple and her lips were trembling as blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.

However, despite that, she did not make any sound.

She bit her lips and allowed the wild black cloud patterns to attack her.

Of course, she held Fang Zhengzhi’s hand extremely tightly until her hand turned purple and there were traces of blood due to her nails.

“Relax, imagine yourself as a rock on the mountain. The wind can’t blow you away and the rain won’t be able to wet you. Nothing can shake you…” Fang Zhengzhi spoke softly as he saw the agony on Yun Qingwu’s face as he used his palm to lead the violent energy in Yun Qingwu’s body into his own body.

This was the reason why he held onto Yun Qingwu’s hand. Other people would not have been able to control Yun Qingwu’s internal energy.

A circle made by six people.

He had to admit that Yun Qingwu would be able to withstand the least energy and he had to take the initiative and lead the flow of energy.

“I am starting, everyone, calm down!”

“Alright!”

“Alright!”

“I can do this. Shameless brat, come on and use strength!”

“…”

Fang Zhengzhi felt speechless after hearing Ping Yang’s shout. Use strength? What the f*ck? Why does it sound so wrong?

Of course, he had no mood to think about that.

After diverting the intense energy out of Yun Qingwu’s body, the cycle formed by six of them started to flow in an anti-clockwise direction.

Buzz! Light shone.

A gigantic plate formed above their heads and six different spots of light matched six of them respectively.

It was the Rebirth Plate of six Daos.

Although only five out of the six Daos were lit up, there were still six positions and were sufficient to form a shield on top of them.

Spat… Ping Yang opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

After that, blood trickled down Yan Xiu’s mouth too.

It was a cycle.

Ping Yang spat out blood and caused Yan Xiu to be injured. Nangong Mu’s position was surprisingly good but there was a change when it returned to Yun Qingwu.

The intense energy caused Yun Qingwu’s body to flop as she almost fell flat on the ground. However, at the last moment, Yun Qingwu pushed her body up forcefully.

At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi saw Yun Qingwu’s bloodshot eyes and her white hair flowed crazily behind her back although there was no wind.

Even Ping Yang and Yan Xiu could not withstand such an intense power, but Yun Qingwu…

Managed to withstand it with her strong willpower.

“Don’t… don’t bother about me, I… I can do this, if I really… really can’t, it… it is my fate, you can… push… push me away…” Yun Qingwu clenched her teeth and continued with a soft voice.

“Hmm, I will.” nodded Fang Zhengzhi.

“Ha… haha…” Yun Qingwu laughed and relaxed her body as the intense energy surged out of her body and hit Fang Zhengzhi.

All waters returned to the ocean.

That was exactly what Fang Zhengzhi felt at this moment. Perhaps he did not feel as uncomfortable after a cycle because there was already an ocean in his Small Dimension.

At this moment, he had two choices.

One would be to push the energy onto Chi Guyan through the cycle while the other would be to continue the cycle after pushing to his limits.

Fang Zhengzhi chose the latter.

Moreover, he diverted the intense energy into his Small Dimension and wanted to swallow the energy.

“Since it has entered, it must leave something behind, right?” As Fang Zhengzhi thought about this, he activated the ocean in his Small Dimension and it fused with the intense energy.

Little by little!

After about 10 minutes, he could not last any longer.

However, despite that, a part of the intense energy remained in his Small Dimension.

“It really worked?” After his attempt, Fang Zhengzhi said, “Yan’er, you can try to divert the energy into your Small Dimension, you may get something out of it. Ping Yang, don’t try it yet. Yan Xiu, you can try it in the third cycle. Yum Qingwu… forget it!”

“Hmm.”

“Alright.”

“Why can’t I try it now?”

“That’s because you are… weak!” Fang Zhengzhi replied after diverting his internal energy into Chi Guyan’s body.

“Hmph!” Ping Yang was indignant.

“Ping Yang, I am not joking!” Fang Zhengzhi knew that this princess was somewhat indignant and may do something rashly out of rebellion.

After all, Ping Yang was not even twenty years old yet.

She was at the phase of rebellion.

“I got it, I won’t do anything funny, I will try it when I get the green light from you.” Ping Yang pouted and said.

“Hmm.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded and turned to look at Chi Guyan beside him.

Chi Guyan kept silent.

She was frowning slightly. It was obvious that she was trying and had already lasted for quite a bit of time.

It seemed like Chi Guyan could do it.

Fang Zhengzhi was slightly envious. Being gifted could help one to save a lot of time.

Chi Guyan was one of the most gifted people in the world.

She read hundreds of books when she was three, accessed Dao when she was five and reached the Divine Seal State when she was six. The thirteen-year-old Chi Guyan managed to reach the Heavenly Reflection State.

Till now, she had attained the Hidden Dragon Roll and the Rising Dragon Roll.

If Chi Guyan was the representation of giftedness, Fang Zhengzhi could be called the role model of “the country’s savior”.

Even though he accessed Dao by chance after looking at the Illustration of All Creation when he was six, he was overly obsessed with comprehending Dao after that and was unable to get out of it.

That caused him to be stagnant in terms of his Enlightenment State. He was still stuck at the Star Conglomerate State when he was fifteen and only managed to make a breakthrough from the Heavenly Reflection State during the battle of the Heavenly Treasure Hall.

It could be said to be a history of trying to take over.

However, Fang Zhengzhi knew his strength. He had comprehended the “Law of Dao” and that was what allowed him, an ordinary villager, to get to where he was today.

However, despite that, Chi Guyan was not any weaker than him.

Her gift…

Was extremely amazing!

“Ping Yang, calm down!” At this moment, Chi Guyan finally spoke. With perspiration all over her forehead, she reminded Ping Yang to calm down and looked as if she could not last any longer.

Judging from time, she took almost as long as Fang Zhengzhi.

“Alright.” Although Ping Yang was stubborn, she listened to Chi Guyan and kept silent immediately.

The second cycle was completed very quickly.

Meanwhile, because Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan had led a part of the black cloud patterns’ energy into their Small Dimension, Yun Qingwu looked slightly more relaxed as compared to earlier on.

In the third cycle, Yan Xiu attempted to fuse the black cloud patterns.

…

When they reached the sixth cycle, Fang Zhengzhi felt that the intense energy was relatively much calmer and signaled Ping Yang to start her fusion.

“Alright, look closely and watch how I wave a magic wand and get what I want!” Ping Yang’s eyes lit up and sounded extremely excited.

…

When they reached the tenth cycle, the black cloud patterns had almost calmed down completely. It was no longer wild and like the flowing river, it brushed against the bodies of the six of them.

Meanwhile, the activity at the “roots” where black cloud patterns surged out from earlier on also reduced gradually and was no longer as vigorous as it was earlier on.

“Looks like it has stabilized.” Fang Zhengzhi heaved a sigh of relief.

“That’s right, we would not have succeeded if the few of us tried to withstand it by ourselves.” Yan Xiu felt that he had escaped from death as the black cloud patterns calmed down.

“How long more do we have to sit here for?” Ping Yang raised her head.

“Until everything melts.” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the black cloud patterns on the ground before looking at the person who had his eyes shut all these while.

Nangong Mu.

A guy who was knocked unconscious by him.

Yet now, he was sitting opposite him without a change in expression. He did not move at all and allowed the black cloud patterns to flow in his body.

However, did he really not feel anything?

Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly and looked at Yun Qingwu.

Then, he widened his eyes.

That was because Yun Qingwu’s white hair was changing. Although it was still white, it was not as dry as before.

Instead, radiance flowed on her hair.

“Hmm? Could this be the legendary… flowiness?” Fang Zhengzhi was extremley shocked by this.
