720 Others Can Die, But I Can’ (1/2)

”It's ok? Does she really think that it's ok for Heaven Dao Pavilion to come after me?” Fang Zhengzhi was enraged, but for an unknown reason, when he saw the smile on Chi Guyan's face, he felt comforted and assured.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong.

Wait a minute.

Did she call the jewel 'Spiritual Jade'?

Fang Zhengzhi was shocked to the core. Spiritual Jade wasn't a complicated name, in fact, it was fairly common.

However, according to the legendary myth in his previous life, Spiritual Jade definitely stood for something significant.

In the legends, Nüwa refined 36,501 stones when she mended the hole in the sky, but she only used 36,500 of them in the end. The last stone that remained…Its name was 'Spiritual Jade'.

This stone was even later mentioned in a famous novel in his previous life called 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. In the story, the stone became a spirit, and it wanted to experience the mortal life. This lead to the story of Jia Baoyu being born with the Spiritual Jade in his mouth.

”Could this be that Spiritual Jade?” Fang Zhengzhi wasn't too sure, because logically speaking, the legends in his previous life shouldn't appear in this world.

However, the fact that an actual descendent of Nüwa was standing in front of him, made him question himself.

If this Spiritual Jade was really the stone that was left behind by Nüwa…It definitely was an extraordinary treasure!

Just as Fang Zhengzhi wondered if he should ask Chi Guyan about the Spiritual Jade, the sky suddenly darkened.

”The Divine Rain Pond is closing soon!” said Chi Guyan.

”Closing?' Fang Zhengzhi was surprised by her words, and he grabbed the Spiritual Jade immediately, not daring to waste another second.

The jewel felt smooth and comforting to the touch, as if there was a warm stream of air flowing inside it.

Rumble!

The entire Ninth Heaven suddenly started shaking. However, it was different from the tremor before, because this time, it felt like the Ninth Heaven was collapsing.

”There's a trap after all!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Spiritual Jade in his hand and then looked toward the cracking ground. He knew that he needed to leave Heaven Dao Pavilion even if he didn't want to.

…

Heaven Dao Pavilion, outside the Divine Rain Pond.

The calm Divine Rain Pond suddenly started seething. The five-colored pond started bubbling and spinning uncontrollably.

”Eh? What's going?!”

”The Divine Rain Pond…What's happening?”

”The wall of the pond seems to be cracking!”

”Are you sure? How could that happen?”

The disciples who were previously in shock were now staring at the Divine Rain Pond, their eyes wide open with disbelief. They all took a step back subconsciously.

After all, something like this had never happened before!

”Hmm?!” The Sixth Elder also noticed the strange behavior of the Divine Rain Pond at this moment. As compared to the disciples, he was even more dumbfounded.

This was because, the Divine Rain Pond should be normally under his control.

But now…

He obviously wasn't the one behind the pond's strange behavior. More importantly, water had started to leak out of the wall that surrounded the Divine Rain Pond.

He couldn't help but be nervous about this.

This was because he knew well about the importance of Divine Rain Pond to Heaven Dao Pavilion. To put it simply, Divine Rain Pond was the heart and soul of Heaven Dao Pavilion.

The trials that disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion undertook, the breakthrough in their understanding of Dao, all had something to do with the Divine Rain Pond.

Since that was the case, how could he allow anything to happen to it?

”Look! The pond water…Seems to be surging out!” While the disciples backed away, they didn't let the Divine Rain Pond leave their sight.

At this moment, the five-colored pond water was spinning and seething more intensely than before, as if something was about to come out.

Then…A person actually charged out of the pond.

He was wearing blue, looking beaten-up with his tattered clothes. His face was slightly charred, and his hair even seemed to be burnt.

This happened out of nowhere, but the disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion still recognized this person right away, because even if that face was reduced to ashes, they could certainly still recognize it.

”Fang Zhengzhi!”

”Why is he the first one out? What happened to sister Chi Guyan!”

”What happened inside?”

All the disciples were confused, but Fang Zhengzhi obviously wasn't in the mood for an explanation.

In fact, he wasn't even in the mood to stay in Heaven Dao Pavilion anymore.

”Crap, crap, I've really screwed up!” Fang Zhengzhi kept mumbling in his mind, while he dashed toward the Sword Peak without any hesitation.

”Eh? Where's this guy going?”
