Chapter 1020: Turnover

As the radiance of the stars increased, Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes became brighter and it looked as if there was a milky way flowing in his eyes.

Meanwhile, golden symbols flowed on his body and mixed with his blood, thereby passing through the veins on his body.

That was Dao.

Dao of All Creation, the Source of Dao.

Yun Qingwu stared at Fang Zhengzhi and her expression gradually changed as she could feel the powerful aura exuding from Fang Zhengzhi’s body.

“So was this the Dao that this shameless brat comprehended? Isn’t this... too much?” Yun Qingwu was slightly shocked when she saw the densely packed golden symbols.

She knew how difficult it was to comprehend the Dao.

However, the Dao that accumulated on Fang Zhengzhi’s body way surpassed her imagination. In fact, she could see at least 2000 Daos on him.

That amount was tremendous.

However, what was the purpose for him to “observe the Daos” at this moment?

Yun Qingwu did not understand as one needed deductions to breathe through the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation and that was completely unrelated to the number of Daos.

“Alright, let’s go!” Just as Yun Qingwu felt confused, Fang Zhengzhi’s voice was suddenly heard and the golden symbols on his body completely disappeared.

“You figured it out?” Yun Qingwu asked in suspicion and did not stand up immediately.

“Yes, I completely figured it out. From now on, we are going into the Heavenly Yuan!” Fang Zhengzhi nodded and said in confidence.

“Going into the Heavenly Yuan?” Yun Qingwu looked at him with a strange expression.

If Fang Zhengzhi had said this one and a half hours ago, she would have believed him.

However, she was very sure that Fang Zhengzhi did not know the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation at all after following him for this one and a half hours.

How could he possibly break through the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation in two hours if he did not know the formation at all?

It was as though an illiterate person suddenly picked up a book and read it for a day before announcing that he wanted to take part in the Examination for the Law of Dao and won the Double Roll Champion.

Who would believe that?

Definitely not Yun Qingwu.

However, since Fang Zhengzhi was so confident, she did not want to dwell his excitement as, after all, he still had less than half an hour’s time.

“Let’s see what tricks this shameless brat is up to.” Yun Qingwu stood up and said, “Let’s go.”

“I am going to walk really fast. You need to follow closely.” Fang Zhengzhi pulled Yun Qingwu and walked quickly towards the nine caves.

“I am following very closely.” Yun Qingwu smiled bitterly. She was being pulled by Fang Zhengzhi all along and had no choice but to follow him closely.

“Oh, then follow more closely.”

“...”

“More closely.”

“...”

...

Fang Zhengzhi and Yun Qingwu soon found the other connected points between the other chess pieces. It was yet another series of nine caves that was pitch dark.

“Which one are you going to choose?” Yun Qingwu followed closely behind Fang Zhengzhi and asked.

“The seventh cave,” said Fang Zhengzhi without hesitation.

“The seventh cave? Are you sure?” Yun Qingwu looked calm but she was actually shocked because based on her deductions, the seventh cave...

Was the correct one!

The correct one?!

How was that possible, did he get it right by guessing randomly?

Yun Qingwu was shocked but still sounded very calm and did not make any unnecessary movements.

“Of course.” Fang Zhengzhi looked very confident and dragged Yun Qingwu into the seventh cave.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them passed through the cave and reached another chess piece.

The forest still looked the same.

The sound of the water came from the South.

Fang Zhengzhi smiled as the chess piece he was at previously also had water flowing from the South.

He guessed correctly!

Fang Zhengzhi felt extremely happy and sang, “The happy pond turned into an ocean thanks to a dream, I will sing happily and loudly, lend me a pair of wings and I will reach the sun...”

“What is this song?” Yun Qingwu felt strange as she had never heard this song before. However, she had to admit that Fang Zhengzhi sounded really happy.

“The Small Frog,” replied Fang Zhengzhi.

“The Small Frog?” Yun Qingwu looked at him with a strange look.

Fang Zhengzhi did not bother explaining further. He continued to sing while pulling Yun Qingwu and continued to look for the nine caves that connected the chess pieces.

Soon, they came to another connection point.

“After finally making a correct guess, what guess are you going to make now?” Yun Qingwu had a special feeling as she asked this question.

She felt that Fang Zhengzhi would definitely not make the correct guess this time.

However, for some reason, she was hoping that Fang Zhengzhi would give her a surprise again. It was an ironic feeling.

“The first one.” After he said that, Fang Zhengzhi dragged Yun Qingwu and walked into the first cave.

“...” Yun Qingwu’s expression finally changed.

She was no longer as calm as before. In fact, her palms started to perspire as Fang Zhengzhi had made the correct guess again.

Two correct guesses consecutively!

Moreover, he made the correct guess from nine choices.

How did this happen?!

This was impossible. He was already extremely lucky if he got it correct for once, but the probability of getting it correct consecutively was extremely low.

Impossible...

It was definitely impossible!

How could he possibly figure out the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation in slightly more than one hour’s time?

It was the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation, the formation that contained 361 intersections with nine different choices each.

Yun Qingwu was able to make the correct deduction on her third try because she had already observed the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation carefully before she entered it.

Three tries did not mean she managed to break through on her third try. Instead, it meant that she confirmed the location she was at in the “chessboard” after three tries.

After she confirmed her location, she continued her deductions.

Then, she was able to figure out the formation.

She was sure that Nangong Mu was able to figure out the formation in two hours’ time because she saw him observe the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation too,

However, Fang Zhengzhi was different.

She knew that Fang Zhengzhi did not even make any observations of the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation before he entered as he was focused on battling against Nangong Mu.

How could he possibly figure out the formation in this case?

That was impossible.

Without any prior observations, even someone like Valley Master Mo Shanshi who was extremely well-versed in terms of formations would not be able to make the correct deduction in two hours’ time.

After all, the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation was too complicated.

“It must be a coincidence, definitely a coincidence. Although the probability of getting it right consecutively is extremely low. it was not impossible!” As Yun Qingwu comforted herself, they exited the cave.

The sound of the pond was heard again.

It came from the South again.

“Hahaha...” Fang Zhengzhi laughed without restraints and sang “The Small Frog” even more happily.

“I believe in miracles, lalalalala.... lalalalala...”

“...”

As Fang Zhengzhi was singing happily, they found the connection point once again. It was another identical series of nine caves.

“You... Which one are you choosing this time?” Yun Qingwu looked at the nine caves and her vision darted around.

That was because she thought that Fang Zhengzhi could make the correct choice because of her as she gave hints with her eyes and her body.

If not...

Why would he ask her to follow him more closely?

That’s right.

It must be so!

Yun Qingwu’s eyes lit up at this moment.

That was right, even if she remained extremely calm, with the close distance between her and Fang Zhengzhi, it was definitely possible for him to figure something out.

No!

She definitely could not let Fang Zhengzhi get hints from her anymore.

She had to behave more strangely.

Yes, that’s right!

“Hahaha... I think this is a lovely song, I even have the impulse to dance now, how about I perform a dance for you...”

“Dance?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at her strangely.

What was she doing, why did she suddenly say that she wanted to dance? Was his “The Small Frog” so good that it inspired one to dance?

“Yes, I...”

“No, let’s go.” Fang Zhengzhi stopped Yun Qingwu from completing her sentence and pulled her towards the eighth cave.

“The eighth cave?!” Yun Qingwu’s body shook violently.

“Is anything wrong?” Fang Zhengzhi took a glance at Yun Qingwu as he felt the change in her voice.

“No... Nothing...” Yun Qingwu shook her head violently but her expression became extremely complex.

That was because Fang Zhengzhi got it right again.

Again?!

Three times consecutively!

He was choosing from nine, how could he get it right thrice consecutively?

Yun Qingwu did not know what was the probability of getting it right thrice consecutively but she was very sure that it was almost impossible.

However, she was struck by reality.

Fang Zhengzhi managed to get it right thrice consecutively and made even more incredible progression after that.

That was because...

After Yun Qingwu followed Fang Zhengzhi out of the cave, Fang Zhengzhi made the correct choice again.

He made the correct choice for the fourth time!

Then, the fifth.

The sixth...

...

Yun Qingwu could no longer keep track of how many times Fang Zhengzhi got it right. However, she realized that they reached a completely different venue.

The so-called completely different did not mean that the scenery was different but rather because there were stars flickering in the sky of that particular chess piece.

It was not very glaring.

However, one could still see the stars.

“The position of the star. This shameless brat found it!” Yun Qingwu could not stand still anymore. It was not because she was exhausted but rather because she could not believe that Fang Zhengzhi was able to do that.

“How did he do that?”

Fang Zhengzhi definitely did not observe the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation before, therefore, how could he have done that?

Moreover, Fang Zhengzhi was completely clueless about formations.

He was clueless about formations and was still able to locate the position of the star of the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation? Yun Qingwu could not believe that this was possible.

Could it be that he had known how to break through the 36 Heavenly Stars Formation all along and was faking from the start?

That was impossible.

Yun Qingwu quickly negated this possibility.

That was because Fang Zhengzhi did not need to pretend as they had already decided on the bet before he started to break through the formation.

“I found the position of the star. We are going to reach the Heavenly Yuan soon, right, Yun Qingwu?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the stars above his head and turned to Yun Qingwu.

“Hmm... I think so...” Yun Qingwu tried to calm herself down but all the questions in her mind made her unable to think straight.

She could no longer remain calm.

As she had a strong premonition that she was going to lose again.

Moreover, she was going to lose without even knowing why.

Was she going to lose?!

If so, she would have to tell Fang Zhengzhi about the secret of the eight remaining Maps of Access to Heaven?

No.

Even if Fang Zhengzhi found the position of the star, he definitely would not be able to find the Heavenly Yuan. There were three more rounds to clear before he could find the Heavenly Yuan.

There should not be any more coincidences...

He would definitely make a mistake, definitely.

“Let’s go.” Fang Zhengzhi looked at the perspiration on Yun Qingwu’s forehead and smiled even brighter as he sang the song more loudly.

Yun Qingwu was rooted to the ground and frowned as though she did not hear Fang Zhengzhi.

Until Fang Zhengzhi pulled her into the entrance of the seventh cave again.

“Oh shit... he... he got it right again?! How... how is that possible?!” Yun Qingwu trembled violently and cold sweat trickled down her forehead the moment she stepped into the seventh cave.
