Gate of God

Fang Zhengzhi really could not understand.

Was his face very black?

“Hey, shameless brat, don’t tell me you manage to break through long ago but purposely didn’t show it? It must be so!” Ping Yang’s confident voice was heard again.

Meanwhile, hearing that, Chi Guyan, Yan Xiu and Yun Qingwu all turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi.

After all, like what Ping Yang had said, everyone had managed to break through, that meant that the black cloud patterns could really upgrade one’s Enlightenment State.

Therefore, by right, everyone should have had their Enlightenment State upgraded too.

Fang Zhengzhi was the most powerful out of the few of them. By being able to fight against a Godly State expert, he could be said to be the closest to the Godly State amongst the rest.

Therefore, how could he have not managed to breakthrough?

“Haha…” Fang Zhengzhi laughed slightly. If it was possible, he really wanted to be like what Ping Yang had said, not revealing the fact that he had managed to breakthrough.

However, the reality was such that he didn’t breakthrough.

“Zhengzhi, you really did not break through?” Yan Xiu was curious when he saw the unnatural smile on Fang Zhengzhi.

“Nope.” Fang Zhengzhi said cautiously.

“It can’t be? Your Enlightenment State is much higher than me, how can you not have broken through?” Ping Yang was shocked and was in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Chi Guyan and Yun Qingwu both fell silent.

They seemed to be deep in thought as Fang Zhengzhi ought to be the first to break through amongst the few of them.

Yet, he ended up being the last…

No way!

Both of them felt that something must be amiss. However, none of them figured out what was the problem.

At this moment, a beam of light appeared on Nangong Mu’s body.

Gold and red radiance surrounded him.

There was also a mix of green and blue in the radiance. However, as compared to the gold and red radiance, the other two colors were much dimmer.

“Did the unconscious Nangong Mu manage to breakthrough too?” Ping Yang’s eyes widened when he saw the radiance on Nangong Mu’s body.

“…”

“…”

Chi Guyan, Yan Xiu and Yun Qingwu looked at each other.

None of them said anything as they could tell that Fang Zhengzhi was fuming with anger.

So the black cloud patterns had immense power.

Even if one was unconscious, one could still breakthrough as long as he was in the “formation”?

Fang Zhengzhi clenched his teeth. He had definitely tried very hard to transform the power in the black cloud patterns but why was he still not breaking through?

That was so strange!

He wanted to complain further but he lost the motivation as the number of black cloud patterns beneath them started decreasing.

It was no longer as intense as before.

After the continuous cycles, the black cloud patterns gradually decreased in number and now the cloud patterns only flowed like streams of the river.

“Rest assured, these cloud patterns are definitely sufficient for you to breakthrough,” said Chi Guyan as he held onto Fang Zhengzhi’s hand tightly.

“Yes, you definitely can!” encouraged Yan Xiu.

“Shameless brat, I believe in you!” said Ping Yang.

“I have already made the breakthrough to the Rebirth State and it is going to be impossible for me to advance to the Sagely State. I shall give these black cloud patterns…” Yun Qingwu was about to speak.

“No thanks.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and disrupted Yun Qingwu.

That was because he knew that even if Yun Qingwu did not absorb these black cloud patterns on purpose, there would still be a lot of them left as they flowed through Yun Qingwu’s body.

Fusion of Yin Yang.

Its emphasis was on Fusion.

Since the emphasis was on fusion, there was not much difference for taking initiative or not.

Silence…

Fang Zhengzhi felt that everyone should remain silent in this situation and feel sad for him for not having made the breakthrough.

However, he seemed to have underestimated them.

“Hahaha, forget about him, he definitely has a way to break through, let’s celebrate!” After Ping Yang comforted Fang Zhengzhi, she exclaimed and broke the silence.

“Hmm, it surely deserves a celebration!” agreed Yan Xiu.

“I think… we should be able to head out after the Cloud Pattern Tree is absorbed.” Chi Guyan nodded and smiled too.

However, Yun Qingwu kept silent.

Nevertheless, the excitement on her face showed her happiness as, after all, she had advanced to the Rebirth State.

Rebirth State…

It was something she had never imagined to happen to her.

“Indeed, humans are selfish!” Fang Zhengzhi sighed. Everyone did not even care about his feelings and were smiling so brightly.

No!

He had to keep trying!

He had to break through the Godly State and stop the others from boasting in front of him.

Fang Zhengzhi calmed down and ignored the laughter around him, trying to feel the changes in his Small Dimension.

There was a vast ocean.

The ocean waves were turning and the ocean was roaring violently. Meanwhile, countless black cloud patterns were flowing in the ocean.

“Fuse, fuse the black cloud patterns and my Origin Energy.” Fang Zhengzhi controlled the waves and the black cloud patterns, enabling the two forces to gather slowly.

With this motion, the ocean became more vast.

The black cloud patterns flowed into his body and were quickly absorbed before eventually turning into seawater that was glowing like gemstones.

For some reason, Fang Zhengzhi had a feeling that his powers had been upgraded.

Moreover, it was a big upgrade.

At least, there was a solid improvement as the amount of seawater had increased by seven or eight times and was still increasing continuously.

It was a terrifying increase.

However, he still could not feel the signs of a breakthrough.

‘Why is this happening?’

Was the amount not enough?

So how much does he need to breakthrough to the Godly State?

Many questions flashed across Fang Zhengzhi’s mind but they were not questions that he could understand as of now.

If it was insufficient, he would continue giving it a push. He knew something all along, the change in the amount would trigger a change in quality. As long as there was a sufficient amount, there would be a change in quality.

Continue!

The black cloud patterns had yet to disappear completely.

He still had a chance.

As Fang Zhengzhi comforted himself, he continued to divert the Origin Energy in his Small Dimension to fuse with the black cloud patterns.

Time flew by quickly.

15 minutes passed unknowingly.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the violent waves seemed to have calmed down and were no longer as violent as earlier on.

It was calmness.

A calmness like the surface of the lake.

The ocean that calmed down still had ripples of waves as the wind blew on the water surface. There were no longer violent waves like earlier on.

Meanwhile, the black cloud patterns which were mixed in the waters also disappeared gradually.

All of the black cloud patterns turned into the Origin Energy and blended into the ocean, causing the water to turn bright and clear.

It gave off an extremely pure feeling.

It was like a gigantic gemstone that flowed.

Fang Zhengzhi had seen many oceans in his past life but seeing this spectacular scene was extremely pleasing to his eyes.

“Am I going to breakthrough soon?” Fang Zhengzhi opened his eyes before seeing a few pairs of eyes staring at himself.

“Did you break through?” Ping Yang went to Fang Zhengzhi as she blinked.

Meanwhile, Yan Xiu, Chi Guyan and Yun Qingwu also looked at him, full of hope, waiting for his reply.

“Break through?” Fang Zhengzhi’s mouth moved and was just about to say something before he realized something was amiss.

Why did Ping Yang end up in front of him?

Yan Xiu and Chi Guyan too, why were they so close to him?

Wait a minute!

Could it be…

Fang Zhengzhi looked beneath him before his face changed. That was because there were no more black cloud patterns beneath him.

The entire Cloud Pattern Tree disappeared.

So there were no more black cloud patterns? All of them had been absorbed.

And yet he had yet to make a breakthrough?!

“…”

“Don’t tell me you haven’t managed to break through?” Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief.

“Could it be that you have managed to breakthrough but had yet to realize?” guessed Yan Xiu.

“There were very little records in the book regarding making a breakthrough without realizing, but that is not impossible. Shameless thief, do you think your energy increased?” Chi Guyan frowned slightly.

“My energy increased…”

“By how much?”

“I’m not sure, probably seven or eight times.”

“Seven or eight times?!” Ping Yang exclaimed when she heard that. Although she managed to break through to the Godly State, her energy only increased by five or six times.

Yet, Fang Zhengzhi said his energy had increased by seven or eight times?

Wasn’t that even more than her?

How ridiculous!

“Wow, shameless brat, you managed to break through but you denied. Are you trying to play around with me? My energy only increased by five or six times!” Ping Yang was extremely unhappy.

Meanwhile, Yan Xiu’s expression changed too.

There was a huge gap between the Godly State and Sagely State.

However, the change in quality that made one’s energy increase by five or six times was already considered a huge breakthrough. How could Fang Zhengzhi, whose energy had increased by seven or eight times, say he had yet to breakthrough?

“I think you managed to breakthrough. I also felt my energy increase by seven or eight times,” confirmed Yan Xiu.

“Hmm, probably.” Even Chi Guyan nodded.

“Yan’er, what about you? By how many times did you feel your energy had increased by?” Fang Zhengzhi turned to look at Chi Guyan.

“Me?” Chi Guyan looked at Fang Zhengzhi seriously and said, “About… more than ten times?”

“…”

“…”

Ping Yang and Yan Xiu were speechless.

How strange!

All of them reached the Godly State but the increase in energy was completely different.

Ping Yang only had a five to six times increase in energy, while Yan Xiu had a seven or eight times increase. Yet Chi Guyan’s energy managed to increase more than ten times?

It was so exaggerated.

“If Fang Zhengzhi is not lying and have not managed to break through, then what kind of increase will we expect if he managed to break through?” Yun Qingwu’s voice was heard.

“…”

“…”

Ping Yang and Yan Xiu were stunned.

They looked at each other and could tell the fear in each other’s eyes.

If what Yun Qingwu said was true, Fang Zhengzhi already had seven to eight times of increase in energy before he made a breakthrough, what would happen if he managed to breakthrough?

Then he would not be a monster.

He would be a real…

Ghost!

“Let’s take a look at what exactly is at the roots of the Cloud Pattern Tree.” Chi Guyan changed the topic when she saw the complicated look on Fang Zhengzhi’s face:

“Hmm, I will go and take a look.” Ping Yang ran over instantly.

The increase in her power gave her a lot of confidence. This time, she had no intention of asking Fang Zhengzhi for help at all.

“Eh?!” Ping Yang’s voice was heard.

“What’s wrong? What did you find?” asked Yan Xiu.

“Hahaha…” Ping Yang laughed unrestrainedly and turned, “There’s nothing!”

“Nothing?” Yan Xiu poked his head over. There was indeed nothing inside.

“Are you very surprised?”

“…” Yan Xiu ignored Ping Yang.

“Since there’s nothing, then let’s go up first. Perhaps there are some changes upstairs. Didn’t Yun Qingwu say that there are flowers and fruits in the Source of God?” said Chi Guyan after realizing that everything around her had returned to a calm state.

“Hmm, yup!” Ping Yang smiled immediately.

After reaching the Godly State, she desperately wanted to show off her powers to the Godly State experts who were outside. She was even more enthusiastic after thinking about the flowers and fruits outside.

“Shameless brat, what do you think?” Chi Guyan turned and looked at Fang Zhengzhi.

“I have no objections.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and looked around him indignantly before realizing that there was indeed nothing odd around him.

This was somewhat strange.

By right, there should not only be one Cloud Pattern Tree in the Source of God, right?

After all, Yun Qingwu had said that that was the restricted land!

Once the Source of God was activated, they might go against heaven’s will and there would be severe consequences. However, there did not seem to be any problems as of now.

Could the so-called problem be the Cloud Pattern Tree?

The immense energy could destroy everything?

Fang Zhengzhi felt that this explanation was somewhat ridiculous but there were really nothing around him and he could only give up for now.

They should head out first as they were not sure what was happening outside.

Mu Qingfeng, Yan Qianli and Wu Yuer were all outside. The appearance of the Source of God would have definitely triggered a battle. Hopefully, there were no accidents.
