Chapter 205: Variable

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

This scene was indeed stupefying.

Fang Zhengzhi had never thought that the power of the Dao of All Creation would be as strong. He could witness the speed of Ying Shan’s recovery with his very own eyes.

This completely went against all the knowledge he gained in his previous world.

He recalled his process of practising Dao over the past years. The access of Dao can give life to the particles that made up one’s body, allowing them to congregate to a single point to increase one’s power and speed.

After one attained the Divine Seal State, one could use the pocket dimension within to interact with the outside world, controlling the power of All Creation.

After one attained Star Conglomerate, the Dao of All Creation would be controlled by one’s pocket dimension. Hence, one would be able to borrow the power of various Dao of All Creation in order to execute powerful techniques.

As for Heavenly Reflection, it was the perfect fusion of the pocket dimension and the outside world.

Borrowing the Dao of All Creation to create one’s unique territory.

As for the Supernatural state.

It could actually allow one to walk the line between life and death, controlling the powerful energy of the Supernatural state. This seemed as if it was the most mysterious concept within the Dao of All Creation.

I really wonder what kind of power lies beyond the Supernatural state…

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t think for much longer. The scene unfolding before him didn’t give him any more time to understand it further.

Nangong Mu evidently knew Ying Shan’s enlightenment state. The healing of the wounds on Ying Shan’s arm was already to be expected, hence he wasn’t too shocked.

Thus, once again, he moved.

All of a sudden, two rays of light, glowing green and blue respectively, lit up and intersected one another. The green provided support, while the blue provided the main force. Despite it being ice, it could still prosper and grow with life.

Up in the sky, a blizzard of ice and snow began to brew. A blue light glowed, covering the swords that were impaled into the ground below with a thick layer of solid ice.

Ying Shan bathed within the ice and snow, standing completely still and allowing the ice and snow to cover his body.

With a faint smile, he lightly waved the blade in his hand. A black light instantly expanded from the tip of his blade, swallowing the entire territory of ice and snow.

"Boom!"

A horrifying force exploded from Ying Shan’s body.

It was as if the entire sky had turned black.

That, was Ying Shan’s territory. Or, it could be said that this was the black world.

The black light pressed down upon the green and blue rays. These two rays supported themselves strenuously, just like two faint candlelights in the dark night.

Even though it wasn’t very bright, it didn’t extinguish.

"How long can you hold this up?" Ying Shan laughed.

"I believe I can hold on for another five minutes." Nangong Mu gritted his teeth.

"What happens after five minutes?"

"Then you will have to wait five minutes to find out."

"Looks like you are indeed quite determined. However, can you really hold on for five minutes?" Ying Shan waved his blade once again. The sky turned even blacker, likening the cloud-covered sky at midnight.

"I can." Nangong Mu’s tone sounded very confident.

At the same time, the green and blue rays of light on his body grew in brightness. Under additional pressure from Ying Shan, his green and blue territory actually expanded instead of falling.

"I never thought, I really never thought that… Today, there is actually an unexpected surprise. Nangong Hao’s little brother had actually attained the Heavenly Reflection Peak State?!" As Ying Shan looked at this scene unfolding in front of his eyes, the shock in his eyes grew.

"Heavenly Reflection Peak State?!"

"Nangong Mu actually attained the Heavenly Reflection Peak State?"

"How can such a powerful person not enter the Rising Dragon Roll? The Heavenly Reflection Peak State can definitely rank him among the top twenty in the Rising Dragon Roll. Taking into account the Green and Blue Secret Art, he would at the very least be ranked among the top ten!"

"Nangong Hao has attained the Heavenly Reflection Peak State. Now, Nangong Mu has also done the same?! My God… This generation of the Nangong family are both Heavenly Reflection Peaks?"

When the examinees heard what Ying Shan said and looked at Nangong Mu wrapped within the green and blue rays, a deep sense of respect grew within them for the first time towards this lonely, yet ordinary youth.

Nangong Mu didn’t speak. His expression was very calm, as if he had heard something that was very ordinary.

"But, is the Heavenly Reflection Peak State… truly enough?" Ying Shan looked around at his surroundings, then looked at the sword on the rock. A powerful aura of confidence filled his eyes.

Even though it was the Heavenly Reflection Peak State, it only meant that the territory control would be stronger than the Heavenly Reflection Beginning State. On the other hand, the Supernatural State was another world altogether.

The difference between two enlightenment states was the difference between Heaven and Earth.

Nangong Mu remained silent. The perseverance in his eyes didn’t diminish one bit.

"Seems like you are rather self-confident?" Ying Shan was supposed to end this fight quickly. However, he was truly somewhat surprised by Nangong Mu’s actions. Furthermore, everything was under his control. He didn’t mind wasting time for some answers.

"Self-confident? No, you are wrong. I am not self-confident." Nangong Mu finally spoke.

"Then why do you appear so calm?"

"If you were me, you would be just as calm."

"Looks like you are unwilling to reply my question?"

"Of course I am unwilling."

"Then, let’s not waste any more time." Ying Shan nodded. Then, step by step, he walked towards Nangong Mu. He walked very slowly. However, every step he took caused the green and blue rays of light surrounding Nangong Mu’s body to waver.

Just as if it had been pressed down upon by a powerful force.

This scene instantly caused a sense of desolation to fill the hearts of the examinees.

Ever since Xing Qingsui became severely injured from the sneak attack, Nangong Mu became their hope. However, if even Nangong Mu wasn’t able to block Ying Shan, who else would be able to pull out that sword?

Even though Nangong Mu attained the Heavenly Reflection State, even though he had the Green and Blue Secret Art.

But now, his opponent was Ying Shan. Ying Shan, the Vice Domain Chief within the Ying Domain of the Ten Devilish Domains, with the power of the Supernatural Intermediate State.

Every examinee knew this. Hence, Fang Zhengzhi also knew this.

Nangong Mu’s opponent was Ying Shan of the Supernatural State. Just as he said, he was able to hold on for five minutes. However, it was ultimately only five minutes.

There was no hope of winning.

Hence, the current situation required cooperation.

Fang Zhengzhi shifted his feet, and slowly advanced forward a step. It was the same way Ying Shan walked towards Nangong Mu.

Yan Xiu also took a step forward, right at the instantly Fang Zhengzhi lifted his foot. Thus, Ping Yang was also unconsciously pulled forward a step by Fang Zhengzhi.

Hence, Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi with shock in her eyes.

"I always thought you were very afraid of dying."

"That’s right. Did I ever say that I’m not afraid of dying?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang.

"Yet, you still walk forward?" Ping Yang didn’t quite understand.

"If I can run, I would definitely be running now." Fang Zhengzhi’s expression was very normal. There wasn’t the slightest bit of shame on his face when he claimed that he wanted to run.

"You are indeed very shameless." Ping Yang felt that she was truly embarrassed to be grouped together with the person in front of her.

"Thank you for your praise. So, you will follow me, is that right?"

"Yes." Ping Yang nodded. Her voice was pitifully soft. She was indeed very embarrassed to be in the same team as Fang Zhengzhi. However, at this moment, she didn’t have a second choice.

"Looks like you are also very afraid of dying."

"Do you think I am the same as you? This is called seizing the chance to live." Ping Yang twitched her mouth and retorted.

"Then, for this chance to live, lend me your Blazing Qilin Spear to play around with."

"Your words are always so irritating. Can’t you at least respect my Blazing Qilin Spear?" Ping Yang seemed somewhat unhappy. However, she still passed the Blazing Qilin Spear to Fang Zhengzhi.

Holding it lightly, Fang Zhengzhi was able to feel the surging power coming from the Blazing Qilin Spear.

With the spear in my hands, the world is mine.

At this instant, Fang Zhengzhi felt as if he overlooked the entire world.

Hence, the speed of his movement increased slightly. He walked, step by step, towards Ying Shan.

Changes in a battle always occurs within the time it takes for a breath.

Ying Shan was holding up against Nangong Mu. Naturally, it wasn’t possible for him to not be paying attention to the movements of the people around him. Hence, he noticed Fang Zhengzhi walking towards him.

As well as Yan Xiu and Ping Yang who were following behind Fang Zhengzhi.

At the same time Ying Shan turned his head, the gazes of the other examinees also fell upon Fang Zhengzhi.

"Fang Zhengzhi is joining the battle?"

When this thought rose within the examinees, they couldn’t really believe it.

After all, from the start of the combat examinations, Fang Zhengzhi had embodied the great values of winning due to outnumbering others. After which, he began to channel his efforts into the Broken Bridge and the Twin Stone Tablets.

All along, Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t a hero in the hearts of the people. At the very least, nobody among them would pin their hopes on him.

Nangong Mu was the descendant of the Nangong family. He mastered the Green and Blue Secret Art, one of the two great teachings of the Nangong family.

Even with such powers, he wasn’t able to match up to Ying Shan.

Then, what use was Fang Zhengzhi?

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t have to guess to understand the thoughts of the surrounding examinees. But, were their thoughts important? Of course not.

Thus, he naturally wouldn’t stop what he was doing.

Just like that, Fang Zhengzhi walked all the way up to the side of Ying Shan’s territory before stopping.

"Hello, my name is Fang Zhengzhi!" Fang Zhengzhi, very magnanimously, introduced himself to Ying Shan.

Under the current circumstance, such a self-introduction indeed didn’t fit the situation. At the very least, when the surrounding examinees heard this, they instantly felt the urge to bow down.

At this time, shouldn’t he be saying, "Evil demon, surrender while you can!"?

Even though such a sentence was just as inappropriate.

At least it embodied some vigor within. What was the meaning of this self-introduction towards the demon?

Ying Shan was slightly taken aback. Then, he suddenly began to laugh.

"Young Lord was right. You are indeed an unfathomable person!" This was the second time Ying Shan said this. Hence, this meant that the first time he said this was also directed towards Fang Zhengzhi.

"Your young lord knows me?" Fang Zhengzhi seemed somewhat shocked.

Just as Ying Shan was about to reply, he realised that no matter whether he replied "Yes" or "No", it still seemed somewhat inappropriate.

If he replied "yes", that meant that his young lord had met with Fang Zhengzhi before. However, if he replied "no", that seemed to conflict with what he had just said.

It was a very simple conversation. However, many things could be inferred from the words within.

"Looks like… you are about to join the fight?" Ying Shan didn’t reply Fang Zhengzhi’s question. Instead, he directly approached the main topic.

"No, I am here to negotiate peace!" Fang Zhengzhi shook his head.

"Negotiate peace? Ha ha ha… Fang Zhengzhi, you are a very intelligent person. Do you really think that us, the demon race, can negotiate peace with your human race?" Ying Shan felt as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Why not? You can explain your reasons, but, can you at least take a seat and make a pot of tea? Then, we can have a nice chat and discuss the history of the demon race and the human race." Fang Zhengzhi said calmly.

"Make a pot of tea? Have a nice chat? Don’t you feel that you are a little naive?" Ying Shan looked towards Fang Zhengzhi. He couldn’t believe that Fang Zhengzhi would actually make such a request under such circumstances.

Where did this thought even come from?

However, Fang Zhengzhi’s words evidently caused him some anger. In fact, it caused him so much anger that the shadow territory around Ying Shan trembled slightly. This caused Nangong Mu’s green and blue territory to grow a little brighter.

Ying Shan’s attention was focused on Fang Zhengzhi. Hence, there was no way he would notice this detail.

The other examinees were also fixated upon Fang Zhengzhi. Hence, they naturally would not be able to notice this. However, Nangong Mu knew this.

Thus, the gaze Nangong Mu shot towards Fang Zhengzhi changed somewhat.

He didn’t understand whether or not Fang Zhengzhi was doing this on purpose. However, he could clearly feel the pressure on his body decreasing slightly.

"Yes, you are right, I am indeed somewhat naive. This place isn’t very suitable for making tea. Most importantly, there are no tea leaves!" Fang Zhengzhi exclaimed.

Tea leaves…

Ying Shan’s mouth twitched slightly. He suddenly felt as if he wasn’t suitable to chat with Fang Zhengzhi. Because, no matter how they talked, their thoughts didn’t seem to be on the same frequency.

"If you wish to delay time, you might be disappointed." Ying Shan decided to not speak with Fang Zhengzhi any further.

"Why do you always think badly of others? Alright, since you aren’t willing to sit down and have a chat, why not let us make an exchange?" Fang Zhengzhi shook his head lightly, seeming somewhat disappointed.

"If you have something to say, say it quick." Ying Shan was losing his patience.

"This spear on my hand… do you recognise it?" Fang Zhengzhi waved the Blazing Qilin Spear on his hand.

"The Blazing Qilin Spear, one of the ten great treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty, containing the blood of the Blazing Qilin. It’s offensive power ranks first among the ten great treasures, how would I not recognise it?" Ying Shan nodded.

In reality, if it wasn’t because Fang Zhengzhi held the Blazing Qilin Spear on his hands, why would he even bother making such useless conversations with Fang Zhengzhi?

In this combat examination, he had sneaked into the World of the Sage.

Everything was within his control.

The only thing he had miscalculated was that Princess Ping Yang would enter. Furthermore, she had even brought along one of the ten great treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Blazing Qilin Spear.

Despite being in the Star Conglomerate State, Ping Yang was able to gain the advantage in power over Xing Qingsui of the Heavenly Reflection State.

He kept waiting until the battle between Xing Qingsui and Ping Yang ended in order to see how powerful the Blazing Qilin Spear actually was.

Now that the Blazing Qilin Spear fell in the hands of Fang Zhengzhi, with his Heavenly Reflection powers, what would happen if Fang Zhengzhi was matched against himself of the Supernatural State?

Nobody knew for sure.

This was also the reason why Ying Shan didn’t confront Fang Zhengzhi immediately. Because, Ping Yang stood beside Fang Zhengzhi all along.

He didn’t wish for the Blazing Qilin Spear to end up in the hands of Fang Zhengzhi.

Because, that would be the only variable in the World of the Sage. Now, Fang Zhengzhi seemed to have picked up this variable and even stood in front of him.

Most importantly, he held the Blazing Qilin Spear and offered to make an exchange.

Ying Shan was already about to lose his patience. However, at such a time, he still decided to maintain his patience for a little longer...
