However, Fang Zhengzhi"s eyes froze as he stood behind the lady,

Naturally, he should have taken another two more steps in front so as to catch a glimpse of the woman in the white dress. But alas he decided not to do that.

Because his vision started turning green as soon as he stood behind the lady.

The green seemed strange as they were surrounded by dry land, withered trees and piercing winds. How could there be green in such a lifeless place?

But the reality was that a tinge of green appeared in front of his sight.

It was a bud emerging from the dry land.

Emerald green leaves, delicate branches, and above all, there was a drop of crystal clear dew on the leaves of the bud.

"Di da!" Dew drops slipped from the leaves and dripped onto the dried up land, disappearing instantly.

It was normal and expected as the land was too dried up, but among all these was a tinge of strangeness. Who could understand how there was still life in such an environment?

Hold up!

Alive?!

Fang Zhengzhi"s body trembled vigorously.

He fixated his eyes on the bud as a familiar strange feeling built up within him. It felt as if the bud was growing inside his heart.

His heart?

Could this place be?

Fang Zhengzhi scanned his surroundings abruptly, at the dry land, the strong winds as well as the withered trees.

Wrong, this place couldn"t be...

Fang Zhengzhi shook his head quickly, as when he had seen the bud, he had an illusion. It was like he had seen his broken Small Dimension.

But there weren"t many big trees in his Small Dimension.

It was not the same.

But this place still looked very familiar.

The familiar bud, the familiar dews and the empty s.p.a.ces.

Just like the beginning of all living things, the bud was the source of everything. It was through the growth of the bud that allowed the revival of all living things.

"Revival?" That idea flashed past Fang Zhengzhi"s mind immediately as he shook his head again. He thought that revival wasn"t the most apt description of the sight in front of him.

Desolate land.

Dead silence, fierce piercing wind, dry barren land, green buds....

No, it can"t be right.

This was not the normal method of the beginning of all living things, nor was it a simple revival of life as well.

Destruction!

It was a form of destruction!

A destruction that happened at the beginning of the revival.

It was like a natural law, except that the laws in front of him were like two distinct and different laws.

In a deserted land of death, he saw a fresh life. That was a scene that had completely violated the nature rules. However, there seemed to be some kind of reason behind all these.

"What was the reason?" Fang Zhengzhi could not understand the situation temporarily.

And that was when the lady slowly sat down, ignoring the dried up ground, as patches of soil stained her white dress.

Fang Zhengzhi decided to voice out something.

Such as, your dress is too white. It is not too good to turn it into a black dress, it might be better if you look for a few leaf pads. Or maybe, you can sit on my lap? Or why not, you"ll be at the top, I"ll be at the bottom?

But the words couldn"t come out of his mouth in the end.

It was because of the fact that Fang Zhengzhi did not dare to say them, but he felt that something seemed off.

A white dress transforming to a black dress...

It was similar to a betrayal of beauty and the law.

If he were to change his perspective, such as, the lady might be wearing a black dress since the beginning?

Or the lady might think that the white dress was not suitable for her, so that it would become prettier when she sat down?

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what was happening in his head, but he felt that an idea had began to start churning in his head.

However, he did not manage to catch on to what was in his mind.

The feeling was akin to when he was about to take off his s.h.i.+rt, but realised that the b.u.t.ton was spoilt and couldn"t be opened. This feeling was anxious, but the more urgent he was, the more difficult it would be for him to open it.

Fang Zhengzhi decided to open the thoughts in his mind.

But he heard a voice ringing.

"Sit."

It was a simple sound, but it caused Fang Zhengzhi to have a sudden surge of shock. He wasn"t feeling frightened, but rather, it was a type of feeling that made him wide awake.

Extremely sober and clear-minded.

The white dress lady actually spoke?

This felt unbelievable to Fang Zhengzhi, but he pondered for a long time before sitting down.

Just like the lady, Fang Zhengzhi sat down on the ground, beside ther.

Then he turned his attention to the bud in front of him.

"Eh?" In just a small glimpse, Fang Zhengzhi"s eyes widened as the bud from earlier had disappeared.

It changed to a small tree, which was half the height of a human.

There were many leaves on the small tree, and the dews were crystal clear on each and everyone of them. Drops of dew slowly formed on the leaves.

"Drip drop, drip drop..."

As the dew dropped on the ground, the cracks on the ground began to gradually shrink. The dry ground was leached with faint traces of water, although it was able to keep the ground moist.

"It"s the Small Dimension, exactly....It must be the Small Dimension!" Fang Zhengzhi felt confident with a tinge of happiness inside him as he watched the dew drip down.

Here...

This place was where he was in the Small Dimension.

But why would he appear in this Small Dimension? Moreover, why would the white dress lady stop at such a place suddenly?

Multiple questions were bothering Fang Zhengzhi.

But the white dress lady did not respond again. There was no sound coming out from her, as she continued to sit down quietly.

Fang Zhengzhi had the urge to ask what was going on.

But he chose to be silent in the end.

There weren"t too many reasons and explanations, but he decided that people might just have different perspectives on things. Just like "there are so many potential lovers to choose from, but you only pick one from among those potential lovers."

"Let"s go." Just at that moment, the white dress lady spoke again, gingerly standing up and walked in front.

She did not brush off the soil stains on her dress and walked forward as usual.

As she continued to move forward, the little buds began emerging from the ground. There were green gra.s.s, bright flowers and thick tall trees.

That was the strangest scene.

The white lady arrived at a place that seemed deserted and scarce. The initially black piece of land became turned green all of the sudden, as the fierce wind softened, emitting a smooth and breezing atmosphere.

Fang Zhengzhi stood up too.

He wanted to chase after the white dress lady, but he realised that the distance would just be extended once again.

From ten feet, to fifteen feet, then twenty feet.

As Fang Zhengzhi followed closely behind her, he looked down at the green patches that seemed to revert to its original state.

The lady walked in front while Fang Zhengzhi followed closely behind.

But Fang Zhengzhi still felt that something was abnormal.

"Wrong!" Fang Zhengzhi paused immediately as he stopped following the white dress lady. He stayed put on his position.

Just as he stopped, the white dress lady also halted her tracks.

The gra.s.s that was growing rapidly stopped growing, so did the fresh bright flowers, as well as the lush gigantic trees. The whole world had seemed to stop, it was like a frozen frame.

"I see!" Fang Zhengzhi"s eyes brightened up instantly, as the little spot of light in his eyes sparkled like the stars in the night.

At this point, he seemed to figure out why the white dress lady suddenly stopped moving. He also understood the reason as to why the trees and the bud were growing in the deserted land.

Initially...

He thought it was just destruction.

It would begin with destruction then transform into the stage of revival.

Starting off with just a bud, and into a big tree. A from a raindrop, to keeping the dry land moist. As time pa.s.sed by, it would turn into a whole new world.

All these seemed like a standard rule, one that dictate the beginning of living things.

But very quickly, he found out that this rule seemed odd, and it was not what he had envisioned.

The bud forming in a dry piece of land.

That was certainly not revival.

But creation.

It happened after the white dress lady had entered the dry land. Or to put it into context, the lady had planted a "seed" into this piece of dry land.

That explained why the white dress lady had stopped just now.

A seed, planted into the dry land, with the raindrops moisturising the dry piece of land. Then more seeds were planted and they started growing.

There wasn"t much of a difference...

But the hidden meaning in it was extremely different.

"A seed... Yes, it"s a seed!" Fang Zhengzhi felt that he had finally cracked open the difficult puzzle in his head.

Ever since he was trapped by Yun Qingwu using the whole 13 pieces of Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet spell, he had been observing and brainstorming.

But they were to no avail.

Certainly...

It was not to say that the thinking and observation had not benefited him, for it helped him acc.u.mulate knowledge. It was the compilation of every little bit of knowledge that allowed him to understand the whole situation.

If it wasn"t for his earlier observations, he wouldn"t have cracked open the puzzle so quickly.

The beginning of all living things, was a seed.

The Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet contained all sorts of natural elements such as mountains, waters, trees, flowers and gra.s.s...

But none of all these could compare with the source, which was the seed.

In other words, the real way to solve the Heavenly Dao Sage Tablet was to find the first "seed" in every piece of it. The seed might a drop of water, or a tree, a flower, or even a grain of soil.

All these could also be labelled as…..

Rebirth!

There was a rebirthing process in every trees, flowers, lake, sea and mountain. They all required the process of rebirth.

"Rebirth, it was all about rebirthing!" Fang Zhengzhi clenched his fist tightly, as he had never figured out how to enter the Rebirth State.

Supernatural State allowed a body to get in touch with death, and draw the power from a body. From there, it would develop a supernatural effect when it had reached the limit of a human"s body.

But rebirth...

Was to let the body grow again in its extreme state.

Fang Zhengzhi wasn"t aware of how he managed to step into the Rebirth State, neither did he know how to disrupt his current state.

But he was aware of something.

He was stronger than before.

That was sufficient.

Immediately, Fang Zhengzhi looked at the white dress lady in front of him, with a grin on his face.

"20 feet distance? I can probably surpa.s.s that!" Fang Zhengzhi sprung into action as he slowly moved forward. There was a vibration as soon as his feet landed on the ground.

"Rumble!"

A tree began growing up from underneath, looking lush and green. It wasn"t just a normal tree, but an enormously ma.s.sive tall tree.

The lady"s body was trembling from the shake, and the vibration seemed to have attracted her attention.

Then she slowly turned around.

Her long hair was still flying like a moist cloth.

Fang Zhengzhi"s eyes opened wide in shock. He initially wanted to catch up to the white dress lady, but little did he know that the lady would turn back.

Turn back!

Fang Zhengzhi fixed his eyes on the white dress lady"s her.

From the look of her complexion, he could tell that the lady"s skin was very smooth. It was like the skin of a young lady.

Then...

Fang Zhengzhi saw a pair of eyes.

It was a pair of bright eyes like the stars in the night. The beautiful features, her silky skin and the exquisite look on her face, these were all perfect qualities.

"Bam!" Fang Zhengzhi felt an explosion in his head.

Because he could never understand what had just happened before him. It was something that seemed almost impossible.

"Chi…...Chi Guyan!?" Fang Zhengzhi"s mouth opened wide as he let out an unbelievable sound.

But, the reality was that…..

The white dress lady in front of him was certainly Chi Guyan. Her sparkly eyes, her perfect features, exquisite vibes, they were all identical to Chi Guyan"s.

But all these were not explainable!

There could only be one incident now that would lead to Fang Zhengzhi"s current reaction.

And that was certainly not King Xieluo"s revival, nor half sage Can Yang"s reincarnation. It was the fact that the white dress lady who had just turned around, was actually Chi Guyan.

What on earth?!

How could all that be possible, even just a little bit? All of a sudden, Chi Guyan just appeared in front of him, that was just intolerable!
