Chapter 1065: The Truth for the Mystery of the restricted land!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

All along, Yun Qingwu had not talked about the Source of God.

Moreover, from her expression, one could tell that she had some reservations about the Source of God but after it had been activated, things had changed.

“So is this fate? The Source of God was under the Heaven Zen Mountain and could be triggered by the fruit of the Tree of God...” Yun Qingwu sighed after a pause.

“Triggered by the fruit of the Tree of God...” Ping Yang was slightly shocked and figured it out.

Yes!

After Fang Zhengzhi broke the fruit of the Tree of God and caused the immense vitality in it to fall into the Heaven Zen Mountain, the Source of God was triggered.

However, despite that, this incident could be said to be very coincidental.

If the Source of God was not below the Heaven Zen Mountain, or if Fang Zhengzhi had not destroyed the fruit of the Tree of God, all of these would not have happened.

“Alright, since all of you want to know, I will tell you everything I know,” continued Yun Qingwu after sighing.

Fang Zhengzhi, Chi Guyan and the rest exchanged gazes and calmed down.

After all, amongst them, only Yun Qingwu had a good understanding of the Source of God. The others were merely making speculations about it.

“According to legends, in the ancient era, the world was filled with reiki and therefore resulted in the birth of various types of natural resources and treasures. Some of them are spiritual fruits while some of them are treasures.”

At this point, Yun Qingwu made a short pause before continuing, “Legends also mentioned that the Source of God is the Opening of Heaven and Earth and the first place that was formed after the world was created!”

“The first place that was formed after the world was created?” Ping Yang was shocked.

“Yes, whoever who got their opportunity from the Source of God became the most powerful people in the world. For example, Xuanyuan, ancestor Chi You, and more. All of them had obtained a huge opportunity from the Source of God before becoming the leader of the entire world.” Yun Qingwu nodded.

“Then after that? Why did the Source of God go missing?” asked Ping Yang.

“Apparently, a great war destroyed the Source of God and the reiki slowly disappeared. As the reiki faded away, the number of treasures and therefore powerful individuals decreased too,” explained Yun Qingwu.

“The reiki fades away and the number of treasures and therefore powerful individuals decreased...” Ping Yang fell silent.

Although she did not want to admit it, the reality was that the number of treasures indeed decreased since the ancient era.

“A great war? Are you referring to the great war of the ancient era?” Yan Xiu asked as he frowned slightly.

“I thought so too initially but I feel that it is not because even though that great war resulted in a cosmic disaster, the world’s reiki did not disappear because of that.” Yun Qingwu shook her head.

“It didn’t?”

“If the description of the great war was accurate and Mother Earth needed the powerful individuals from the three races of humankind, demons and monsters, why would she seal up the world’s reiki?”

“Hmm...” Yan Xiu fell silent.

As what Yun Qingwu said, when the cosmic disaster struck, it was the critical time when a large number of powerful individuals were needed. If the Source of God was ruined at that time...

How would they possibly be able to defend against the cosmic disaster?

However, if the Source of God was not destroyed in the great war as predicted by Yun Qingwu, what war world possibly destroy the Source of God?

Unless there was a second great war in the ancient era?

That was unlikely.

None of the history books or records had any records about a war with powerful impacts.

“Based on your deduction, the Source of God was destroyed after the Cosmic Disaster?” Ping Yang spoke in confusion.

“Yes.” Yun Qingwu nodded.

“Do you know what war was that?”

“That I do not know. “An Ancient Handwritten Letter” did not have that recorded and that’s a question I have always been wondering about.” Yun Qingwu shook her head.

“Hmm, are there any other records?” Fang Zhengzhi was more concerned about another question.

Why did Yun Qingwu have reservations about the Source of God?

There must be a reason behind that.

And Yun Qingwu did not mention about that earlier on.

“Yes.” Yun Qingwu clenched her fists and replied quickly, “Apart from the records of how the Source of God was destroyed, there was a sentence in the last part of the records.”

“What sentence?” asked Fang Zhengzhi.

“The Source of God is... the restricted land!”

“Restricted land?!”

“Yes, it meant that it was heaven’s will to destroy the Source of God and since it was heaven’s will, we should obey instead of going against it,” emphasized Yun Qingwu.

“Obey heaven’s will instead of going against it?” Fang Zhengzhi frowned slightly.

In this world, there was a popular belief that one could not go against heaven’s will or one would be punished.

He did not believe that in the past.

After all, he trusted science more in his past world.

However, the current world he was in was different.

Science...

Could science explain about the four ancient beasts?

Of course, even though they were special and strange, that did not mean that “Heaven” existed.

Fang Zhengzhi had a neutral stance and did not bother about heaven’s will. However, he did not think about going against it.

“However, the Source of God had been activated now. We had already gone against heaven’s will but nothing happened to us? Since when was there heaven’s punishment! I think there’s nothing terrifying about Heaven at all. Just go against it. At most I will fight with heaven and that would be rather exciting, right? Shameless brat?” Ping Yang was nonchalant.

She was unafraid of anything.

What “don’t go against heaven’s will”...

She did not care about it at all.

“Hmm, you are right.” Fang Zhengzhi gave a slight smile. Sometimes, he felt that Ping Yang did not belong to this world.

Going against heaven’s will as and when she liked it?

Was it really a good idea?

“Heaven, listen up, I am going to go against you now. If you are capable enough, kill me with a strike of lightning!” Ping Yang became excited and pointed to the sky brazenly.

“...”

“...”

Yan Xiu and Chi Guyan were speechless.

“Watch out, there’s lightning!” Fang Zhengzhi’s expression changed.

“Ah... Shameless brat, save me, I don’t want to die yet!” Ping Yang was shocked and hid behind Fang Zhengzhi immediately.

“...”

The situation was pretty interesting.

After Ping Yang closed her eyes, she carefully opened them and looked up at the sky and pouted, “Where is the lightning?”

“There was lightning but I blocked it so it didn’t strike you,” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“Liar!” Ping Yang knew that she was tricked but still hid behind Fang Zhengzhi cautiously and was worried that she would really be struck by lightning.

Fang Zhengzhi sighed to himself as he looked at Ping Yang, ‘Indeed, the people in this world was afraid of being punished by heaven.’

Even though Ping Yang acted as though she was unafraid of anything, she was still concerned about some things.

Therefore, it was normal for Yun Qingwu to be concerned about the record in “An Ancient Handwritten Letter”.

However, like what Ping Yang said, no matter whether heaven’s punishment really existed or whether they went against heaven’s will, the Source of God was indeed activated and there was no point in discussing about anything else.

The most important thing now was...

Find a way to split open the rock in front of them to find the real Source of God.

“Yun Qingwu, do you have any way of breaking this ‘Cloud Pattern Tree’ apart?” Fang Zhengzhi stopped probing the history of the Source of God and turned his attention to breaking the black stone apart to look for the root of the Cloud Pattern Tree.

“We can try.” Yun Qingwu was not certain.

“I can help you,” said Chi Guyan after taking a look at the black cloud patterns.

“Hmm.” Yun Qingwu nodded and started to observe the route of the black cloud patterns and looked extremely serious.

Meanwhile, Chi Guyan was observing the cloud patterns too.

That was because both of them could already tell that although the black cloud patterns formed a tree, there was an extremely special formation hidden within it.

“Is it the Eight Diagrams?” asked Ping Yang.

“Not entirely...” Chi Guyan shook her head and pointed her long sword onto the ground. “This seems like a point of the intersection but it is not in the Eight Diagrams that I studied, it seems like a random spot but...”

Chi Guyan stopped and was deep in thought.

Meanwhile, Yun Qingwu turned to look at the formation point and frowned as she went deep in thought.

In terms of the laws of formation, both Yun Qingwu and Chi Guyan had great knowledge.

“If we look at this point as an entire formation... it is not easily explained but if we look at it as though it is a painting, this point is the intersection point of this tree and the fifth tree branches and tree trunk,” said Yan Xiu after frowning.

“Look at it as though it is a painting?”

“...”

Yun Qingwu and Chi Guyan’s eyes lit up at almost the same time.

Both of them looked at each other with a look of enlightenment as both of them had a new train of thought after hearing what Yan Xiu said.

It looked like a painting but was a formation.

It looked like a formation but was a painting.

The Cloud Pattern was not purely a formation or a painting, instead, it was the natural combination of painting and formation.

“The fusion of painting and formation?” Fang Zhengzhi was deep in thought.

“Shameless brat, did you figure it out?” Ping Yang looked hopeful as she saw Fang Zhengzhi talking to himself.

After all, to her, Fang Zhengzhi always had some unique ideas.

“Are you talking to me?”

“Yes.”

“I don’t study formations or paintings,” said Fang Zhengzhi.

“...” Ping Yang was stunned and felt speechless. “Then what do you mean by ‘fusion of painting and formation’?”

“It was a casual remark.”

“...” Ping Yang was speechless.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi yawned and found a place to sit down before fiddling around with his hands.

Ping Yang ignored Fang Zhengzhi and instead, ran to Chi Guyan and followed what she was doing and started drawing on the ground with a tree branch.

Everything seemed to have progressed to a period of waiting.

Time passed very quickly.

After a long time, piles of stones were made in front Fang Zhengzhi. It looked ordinary but the only strange thing was the fact that there were five piles of stones.

Meanwhile, every pile was made up of identical stones, including the number and height.

After imitating Chi Guyan for some time, Ping Yang decided to give up and said it was very difficult to figure the formation out despite her talent.

Then, she went to Fang Zhengzhi.

She noticed the five piles of stones in front of Fang Zhengzhi.

“What’s this?” Ping Yang was curious.

“What do you think it looks like?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled mysteriously.

“It looks like some formation but didn’t you say you are clueless about formations and paintings?” Ping Yang was confused.

“Hmm.”

“Hmm what?”

“Would you believe it if I said I was randomly playing with the stones?”

“How annoying!” Ping Yang pouted but seemed to be deep in thought as she stared at the five piles of stones.

Meanwhile, Fang Zhengzhi was still piling the stones.

After a while, the stones were almost half as tall as a person and looked like five small tombs made up of stones.

Ping Yang looked very surprised.

Although Fang Zhengzhi said he was clueless about formations and paintings, the five piles of stones in front of her have off a special feeling.

“Is this shameless brat really clueless about formations and paintings?” Ping Yang really could not understand as, after all, the five piles of stones looked strange.

However, Fang Zhengzhi did not answer her.

This made her feel somewhat helpless.

Time passed again...

Meanwhile, the stones in front of Fang Zhengzhi was already at the height of one person. Every stone had similar shapes and there was some styling in the pile of stones.

If the pile of stone looked like a tomb earlier on, the current pile of stone completely changed its form and looked like a person.

One could roughly tell the head and body of the person.

If not for the pile of stones underneath, Ping Yang would have thought that the five piles of stones were five sculptures made of stone.

“Shameless brat, are you really clueless about paintings and formations?” Ping Yang asked again as she could no longer hold in her curiosity.

“That’s right, I am clueless.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded seriously before whipping out five long swords and inserted it on the pile of stone that was the height of a person.

Instantly, Ping Yang felt that the five piles of stones came alive.

Each pile of stone gave a completely different vibe. Unlike earlier on, they had a killer intent.

“How is this... how can you say that you are clueless about paintings and formations?!” Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi in disbelief with her mouth agape.
