Chapter 188

An Zhe hadn’t said a word to Huotang Tang for the past four days. Every day, he would come to the small courtyard of the Huotang Tang, and after that, he would stand under the tree and watch the flowers that were like brocades.

Never had there ever been a plum tree that bloomed so many flowers in its natural state, and this was all thanks to the power of the Huo Tang.

Manifestation was vast and profound.

It wasn’t because he didn’t want to talk to Hortang, nor was it because she ignored him.

It was because these days, An Zhe’s attention was focused on the flower.

Every petal, every grain.

The more he looked, the more impossible it seemed.

There are at least thousands of red flowers and five-petaled plum blossoms on this tree. Each petal has countless patterns on it. If you want to bloom and blossom, you have to understand this flower.

It looked like each flower was the same, but the difference was just too great.

The more clearly he saw, the more he found the matter difficult.

For four days, the struggle was fruitless.

On the morning of the fifth day, An Zhe came an hour earlier than usual.

He was still standing there. His body was as straight as a bamboo nearby, but his frown grew deeper and deeper.

On the sixth day, An Zhe coughed up a mouthful of blood.

On the seventh day, the clothes on An Zhe’s chest were dyed red with blood.

On the eighth day, Qu Liuxi and Gu Qianye rushed into the small courtyard. They felt that it must have been the Begonia that was tormenting An He. It had only been seven days, but the An He had already lost a lot of weight.

But the door was open and they couldn’t get in.

The thin man was furious. He almost took out the Sovereign of the Seas’ trident, but Gu Qianye was already holding onto the broken finger bone.

As for Qu Liuxi, the center of her palm flashed with a brilliant light as the Purple grade divine artifact, the Phoenix Crankering Pill Furnace was ready to shoot out at any moment.

An Zeng walked out of the courtyard and shook his head at them. “”It’s just that my mind isn’t stable, it’s just a matter of cultivating and tempering it.””

After saying that, they turned around and went back, leaving behind the three who were at a loss.

On the ninth day, An Zhe vomited even more blood.

Meanwhile, the quietly reading in the room ignored him, as if he had never seen it before.

The most magical thing about it was that the bayonet on the tree had been open for nine days without any change.

The flowers were still beautiful, but there was no sign of them wanting to thank her.

On the tenth day, An Zhe’s countenance was extremely pale.

This was the first time he left the space cultivation of the Heaven Defying Seal after his rebirth.

Therefore, the problem encountered by the dispute is not only a matter of time, but also a new environment.

The heaven-defying aspects of the Heaven Defying Seal were not only magnified in time, but also in a stable environment.

In such an environment, progress in cultivation depended on accumulation rather than on challenge.

At this moment, the challenge that An Zaiyue was facing could be said to be one he had never faced in his two lives of cultivation.

In his first life, An Zhe was an absolute genius.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the head of the company, and he wouldn’t have become one of the few people with the most power in Da Xi.

In this life, even he himself didn’t know much about An Zaihai’s body.

In terms of cultivation talent, he was only half a star.

However, in his dantian’s aura sea, there seemed to be a huge door that was extremely difficult for him to open. It was so heavy that he didn’t know what to do.

Every time the door opened a little, his talent seemed to improve.

The huge bronze door was only the size of a door that could allow people to pass through. In comparison to the size of the door, this was just a small crack.

An Zeng didn’t test his own talent, but that half star gave him some pressure and a bit of inferiority complex.

On the eleventh day, it was as if the struggle for peace had suddenly become a different person.

When he came in the morning, he actually brought along a steamed bun, and he hadn’t forgotten about the jealousy.

He sat down on the stone bench and ate while looking at it. Afterwards, he even giggled. His entire person looked especially abnormal.

At noon, An Zeng walked out of the small courtyard and went out to buy a pot of wine and some cooked meat dishes.

He sat on the stone bench and ate while watching. He drank his wine and finished his food, but he did not continue to vomit blood.

An almost imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of Huodan Tang, who was sitting by the window in the room. She looked out the window, and for the first time, there was a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

On the twelfth day, An Zui still brought breakfast.

Not only that, he brought a book with him.

After breakfast he sat and read.

From time to time, he would look up at the Parmesan Tree beside him. The flowers on the tree were still bright and bright, without any signs of withering.

Since then, it has become common practice to eat and read under the hyacinth tree.

It had been a full month, and the damage the previous ten days had done to An Zaihai seemed to have passed.

His face became rosy again, and his body returned to its previous state.

It was just that in the past month, there hadn’t been any changes on the Parmesan Tree.

By the end of the month and the first day, An Zhe’s actions were even stranger.

This time he brought not books, but chess.

He played chess with himself, taking a step from seat to seat, meditating, looking at the raspberry tree.

It was as if he was not playing chess with himself, but with a tree that could not speak or move.

Outside the small courtyard, Gu Qianye’s eyes were filled with worry. “”He … Could something have happened to him?””

“”Was he possessed by some sort of demon that he spent all day with that tree?””

Qu Liuxi shook her head, “”No … I’ve checked his pulse. Previously, his state of mind was completely recovered, so his body didn’t show any signs of discomfort.””

“”His current appearance is not that of an enchanter, but rather … A realm that we might not be able to understand. It’s not a realm of cultivation, but a realm of thought.””

Dean said in a thin tone: “”I’m just worried about the female gentleman. Don’t make a fool of yourself.””

Gu Qianye said, “”I always feel that this woman is a bit strange and strange.””

If An Zaiyue continued to follow her, it would be hard to say whether or not her cultivation would improve.

“”

Qu Liuxi still shook her head, “”An Zuoshi has his own thoughts, and he’s much more mature and comprehensive than us.””

“”Since he still doesn’t choose to leave, it means that he agrees with all of this.””

Gu Qianye said, “”What if he gets confused?””

Skinny Dean said, “”It’s better if we bring An Zeng back …””

Qu Liuxi stood in front of them, saying, “”I still can’t do it. When An Zaiyue fought it out, his eyes were clear, and he didn’t seem to be confused at all.””

You should believe him, and you should believe me.

Since An Zaiyue chose to stay there, it means that there’s definitely something that can help him. “”

Gu Qianye sighed. “”Little Liu’er … If he is still so strange in a few days, we really can’t wait.””

Qu Liuxi nodded: “”Just wait a few more days.””

Gu Qianye asked, “”Are you sure you want to wait a few more days?””

Qu Liuxi grunted, concealing the worry in her eyes.

“”You are usually the one who cares about him the most. Why are your hearts so big now?””

Skinny Du muttered a few words, then he ran to the side and sat down to sulk.

Qu Liuxi turned around, there was only one sentence in her mind … My heart has never been big, I just believe in him, every word, every word, every look.

The dispute in the yard seemed to have completely forgotten what had happened before. He sat down and continued playing chess with himself.

He kept changing seats, feeling that he was not the only one. It was two completely different people fighting on the chessboard.

The frequency at which he sat down became slower and slower, and the crease between his brows became deeper and deeper.

It was as if he had completely forgotten about the hyacinth tree and the resplendent brocade.

Inside the house, Huo Tang put down the book in his hands, and also looked at the chessboard.

“”Dragon-slaying?””

The expression in Hutang’s eyes changed, and he couldn’t help but stand up, “”Why are you playing chess with yourself? Why did you have to do such a dangerous thing?””

She looked away from the board, and when she looked at Anjou again, Anjou’s face had turned a sickly white.

He seemed to have completely integrated into the game of chess, separating into two people by himself.

After looking at it for a while, the more dangerous it felt, so he quickly came out of the room to try to stop An Zhe.

If this continued, there was a high chance that An Zaiyue would break up into two personalities. At that time, whether it was for An Zaiyue or for others, it wouldn’t be a good thing.

If one’s personality became paranoid after getting into the bullhorn, it could become a disaster.

However, just as Huotang rushed out of the room, An Zhe suddenly returned to the stone bench he sat on earlier. He finally revealed an unreadable smile.

“”I am still me, the tree is still the tree, the board is still the board, but the flower is not a flower.””

After saying this, he put down the last chess piece he won.

The illusory him who stood opposite him had lost. He was the one who had won in the first place.

Afterwards, An Zhe slowly raised his head and glanced at the Pineapple Tree. He seemed to have forgotten the request that the Begonia had placed on him.

He took a glance at it and saw that one of the flowers on the branch was withering. The petals of the flower then fell to the ground.

A moment later, another flower bud appeared at the place where the flower petal had fallen, then bloomed once more.

If he hadn’t seen such a process, he definitely wouldn’t have noticed the changes that had occurred on the tree.

An Zhan took a deep breath and laughed to himself, “”It’s so hard to find yourself.””

“”You broke through?””

An Zaiyue turned around and shook his head, “”No … I’m still miles away, I’m just thinking.””

His thoughts only grabbed onto that tiny bit. It was like a willow branch that was floating in the sky. I only managed to touch one of it. “”

Huodan Tang suddenly grabbed An Zeng’s wrist and frowned, “”With your age, to be able to reach the Xumi realm, your talent must be terrifying.””

You’ve spent less time on the Dao than I expected. I thought I’d wake you up before the Autumn Festival. “”

An Xuan said, “”It’s not good to hold hands like this …””

“”It depends on your cultivation level.””

An Zhan said, “”Please leave something for me …””

“”Just don’t take off your clothes.””

A few seconds later, Hutang could not help but exclaim in surprise, “”How come you’re only at the third level of the Sumeru Realm?””

Did I overestimate you, or did you hide it?

“”That doesn’t make sense … It really doesn’t make sense. With your Third Grade of the Sumeru Constellation realm, how could you possibly have the enlightenment to transform into a human?””

An Xuan said, “”My talent is extraordinary …””

“”Alright, I’ll leave now!””

“”Where to, sir?””

Without answering, Huo Tang pulled An Zou along as they walked through the Martial Arts Academy.

The two of them ran in tandem, attracting the eyes of everyone who passed by.

The two of them ran all the way to the front yard of the school.

“”Assess your talent.””

An Zhan said embarrassedly, “”That is better …””

“”This is very important, and you’ve forgotten my rules?””

“”Of course I haven’t forgotten, but that’s my personal part, isn’t it?””

So please let the onlookers go, sir, and make sure you don’t tell anyone what you see. “”

“”So long-winded!””

Huo Tang glared at An Zeng, then waved his hand. A hurricane swept by, and swept away those who had been nearby.

Some hung from the trees, some from the roof.

“”Hurry up!””

“”You’re courting death!””

An Zhe had no choice but to place his hand on the Nine Stars Arena, and then the Nine Star Arena flashed with light.

The red line began to move upwards, and an unprecedented look of anticipation appeared in the eyes of Horton-Tang. “”Let me see just how freakish you are …””

Her words came to a halt, and the red line stopped where the three stars were.

“”Three stars?””

“”How could he be so terrible!””

“”Believe me, you’ve never seen the worst.””
