874 Origin Illusion, A Complete World (1/2)

The ferocious waves tumbled in the ocean while making loud whistling noises. The violent sea breeze raged in the skies, blowing the waves higher and higher.

At that moment, Fang Zhengzhi suddenly saw a bright red object. However, it was not the sun in the sky.

It was burning with fieriness.

It was the Thousand Years Fire Herb!

Fang Zhengzhi remembered that when the Thousand Years Fire Herb entered his body, it was made to an undeveloped pill by Wan Lei of the Yin Yang Hall.

Afterward, the undeveloped pill was gradually absorbed by his body. Although he only absorbed a small portion of it, he was sure that Thousand Years Fire Herb could no longer be in his body.

Why would the Thousand Years Fire Herb appear again?

Fang Zhengzhi was confused. However, before he could think it through, more spots of light appeared in front of his eyes and floated in the sky.

Those were stalks of herbs.

Every stalk of herb was flowing with radiance. There were so many of them that dotted the sky like stars, as if they were about to block the sky completely.

”Could it be the ten acres of herb farm from the Yin Yang Hall?” Fang Zhengzhi was astonished. He could understand the appearance of the Thousand Years Fire Herb, but he could not account for the appearance of the stalks of herbs.

That was because most of the herbs had already been refined by him. He had made use of the fire in the Middle Stream Cauldron to turn them into pills.

Then, he ate them as meals.

Why did the herbs that were refined and eaten by him reappear? Fang Zhengzhi could not comprehend it but that was what he saw in front of him.

Could it be that he was seeing his own origin illusion?

Fang Zhengzhi was unsure of how he should describe this phenomenon, hence he casually used the term ”origin illusion” for easy comprehension.

”Origin” referred to the origin energy while ”illusion” referred to the ”objects” that accumulated in the origin energy. For example, if you had developed the origin energy after refining the Thousand Years Fire Herb, then the ”object” of the origin illusion would be the Thousand Years Fire Herb.

The same idea applies for others.

That was a guess made by Fang Zhengzhi. However, it encountered a problem. Amongst the various stalks of herbs in the sky, he discovered a few stalks that were starkly different.

Red, blue, gold, black, white.

An unique flower made up of five different colored petals. It glowed with a radiance that made it look brighter than other herbs. In fact, it was comparable to the Thousand Years Fire Herb.

”Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers of the Ling Yun Tower?” Fang Zhengzhi knew the origin of this herb. It was found during the battle with Qian Ye in the Ling Yun Tower.

The situation was rather complicated then. In order to force Qian Ye to appear, Fang Zhengzhi had to steal the treasure.

In the end…

These Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers ended up in his possession.

Afterwards, everything went smoothly. Qian Ye died and Qian Ye was successfully rescued and became the new Tower Master of the Ling Yun Tower.

What a perfect ending. By right, Fang Zhengzhi should have returned the Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers to Qian Yu.

However, something unexpected happened.

In order to force Fang Zhengzhi to marry Ping Yang, Qian Yu had trapped him in the Ling Yun Realm. Therefore, Fang Zhengzhi could not return the Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers even if he wanted to.

Of course, that was a nicer form of explanation. To put it harshly, how would Fang Zhengzhi return something that he had already got on hand?

Therefore, the Penta-coloured Wonder Flowers eventually still ended up in the possession of Fang Zhengzhi.

However, the penta-coloured wonder flower was slightly different from other herbs. It was obtained by Fang Zhengzhi in the Ling Yun Tower and hence he had neither turned it into pills nor absorbed the medical benefits of the Penta-coloured Wonder Flower. He had not even ingested the flower before.

Based on his guess and deduction, he knew that only things he ate could turn into origin illusions. How could something he had never eaten turn into an origin illusion then?

Fang Zhengzhi was really confused.

However, he decided to let it be. After all, what happened in front of him and why it happened was no longer important. At that moment, the sky changed once again and a strange phenomenon happened.

The light from the Penta-coloured Wonder Flower radiated across the sky. The five colors — blue, red, gold, black, white — spread and surrounded the stalks of herbs.

Then, millions of light fell from the sky, like raindrops that fell into the ocean underneath, and disappeared afterwards.

It was a rain of light.

After the rain of light, the waves in the ocean gradually gathered towards the center as though they were attracted by the light rain, forming a giant whirlpool in the ocean.

Boom! Thunders rumbled and a rainstorm hit.

The violent raindrops combined with the rain of light and fell in the ocean. Then, they followed into the giant whirlpool.

The whirlpool became bigger and bigger…

A bizarre scene.

But the strangest thing happened when a palm-sized black spot appeared in the center of the swirl.

The sun set and the moon rose again.

As the rain fell in the sea, there was lesser light in the sky. In the end, there was only the pouring rain, the stormy waves and whirlpool in the center of the ocean left.

After a while, the rain subsided and the black spot in the center of the whirlpool increased in size, from the size of a palm to the size of a stone then the size of an island.

As the island formed, the violent waves gradually subsided and the waters became clear. It felt as though everything flowed towards the small island and things began changing on the island.

The first sprout appeared, followed by the second, the third, until the sprout grew to a shrub ad flowers grew. Then the shrub grew to a tree and the flowers bloomed with fragrance.

Thousands of years seemed to have passed by, yet it was as though it occurred in a blink of an eye.

The seawater became extremely clear. It looked like a blue jelly and flowed slowly.

Fang Zhengzhi's train of thought suddenly became clear. He could even feel the impact caused by the seawater hitting the island.

All the trees on the island was connected to his soul. He could even hear the plants whisper and feel their happiness.
