Chapter 940: I Am Young but I Can Give It To You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Holy Region was never too peaceful. After all, there were countless precious herbs and treasures in the region.
Therefore, it was natural for a few beasts to be hidden in the cave.
Of course, three beasts, though rather powerful, did not affect Fang Zhengzhi and Ping Yang.
A moment later, they became the food on the fire rack. Their meat was very fresh as they were freshly slaughtered.
The bonfire in the cave was warm but because of the lack of air circulation, it was rather stuffy.
Ping Yang’s fair face turned slightly red, either because she was lying in Fang Zhengzhi’s chest or because she was feeling warm.
“Shameless brat, you really captured the Demon Lord?” Ping Yang breathed heavily as she looked at the flames in front of her.
“It’s an insignificant matter.” Fang Zhengzhi casually raised his head with a relaxed expression. The lime powder on his face had been rubbed off.
“You are still so shameless…” Ping Yang smiled as she wiped her mouth on Fang Zhengzhi’s chest to remove the oil and said, “Where is the Demon Lord now? Aren’t you afraid that the Northern Mountain Village would be …”
Ping Yang stopped at the last part of her sentence. She had heard about what happened to the Northern Mountain Village from Emperor Lin Mubai.
“I left him in the Northern Mountain Village,” replied Fang Zhengzhi.
“I see.” Ping Yang agreed that it was a good idea to leave the Demon Lord in the Northern Mountain Village.
Firstly, as long as Yun Qingwu had no suspicion regarding “Meng Tian”‘s identity, she would not look for the Demon Lord in the Northern Mountain Village.
Secondly, if the Northern Mountain Village encountered a crisis again, they could afford to strike a deal with the Demon Lord in their hands.
As she thought through these factors, Ping Yang’s eyes lit up again and she looked extremely excited.
“So where are we proceeding to next? Heaven Zen Mountain? I can lead if we are!” Ping Yang’s eyes burned with fury as she spoke.
After all, Ping Yang still could not forget about the battle in the Heaven Zen Mountain.
As the saying went, you get up from where you fall, Ping Yang had the same ideology as Fang Zhengzhi with respect to this.
“Since you have stayed in the Ling Yun Tower for a while, have you heard of the ‘Source of God’?” Instead of answering Ping Yang, Fang Zhengzhi asked a question.
“Source of God? What Source of God?” Ping Yang looked confused.
“You never heard of that?” Fang Zhengzhi looked slightly disappointed. He had always thought that the history of the Five Sects of the Holy Region was very ancient.
Therefore, he had hoped that he could get some hints about the “Source of God” that Lin Ji mentioned from the Ling Yun Tower.
However, it seemed like…
It was not as easy as he thought it would be.
“I am sure. After flipping through almost every single book in the Ling Yun Tower, I never saw anything related to the Source… of God?” said Ping Yang. However, she blinked as though something struck her. “Is this something important? How does it look like?”
“Thing? Actually, I am not sure whether the Source of God is a thing…” Fang Zhengzhi shook his head. At that point in time, in order to get something out of Lin Ji, he did not probe her further.
“If it’s not a thing, could it be a piece of article?” asked Ping Yang.
“Article?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Ping Yang. From her expression, he could tell that she had something in mind. “What do you think?”
“Nothing much actually, but I recall that Mu Qingfeng mentioned about reading a piece of article on the Heaven Zen Mountain.”
“Mu Qingfeng?”
“Yes, I think the article was the reason why he gathered the five sects on the Heaven Zen Mountain. I think… Mu Qingfeng may know something.”
“Why did I not hear about this?” Fang Zhengzhi could not remember this event.
“You were late, that’s why you didn’t hear it. Mu Qingfeng said it before the meeting, he even talked about the story of the Mother Earth, you came when Sister Yan was injured. Oh right, how’s Sister Yan?” Ping Yang suddenly thought of Chi Guyan as she said.
“Chi Guyan is currently in the Northern Mountain Village. However, she has yet to wake up.” Fang Zhengzhi frowned as he started to process Ping Yang’s words.
Mother Earth?
How did Mu Qingfeng hear about the story of Mother Earth?
“She hasn’t woken up after such a long time?” Ping Yang was evidently worried.
“Hmm, although she has yet to wake up, her condition is stable. Oh right, you mentioned the story of Mother Earth, did Mu Qingfeng mention about how he learned about it?”
“Yes, he said it was in a broken Black Stone Palace underneath the Heaven Dao Pavilion, I think Sister Yan had been there before too?” replied Ping Yang as she recalled.
“Black Stone Palace? Under the Heaven Dao Pavilion… could it be that?!” Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up as something struck him.
At that time, he and Yan Xiu were surrounded by the three Sages of the Black Moon Island when a black palace fell from the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
However, he did not enter at that point in time as he did not have the mood to.
Wait a minute!
When the Black Stone Palace fell…
It was the exact time when the beasts of the Holy Region changed. Moreover, it seemed like the entire Holy Region changed after the Black Stone Palace fell.
Then…
Fang Zhengzhi frowned. For some reason, he felt that there was some special relationship between these events that was way more complicated than mere coincidence.
However, at that point in time, he only thought of rescuing Yan Xiu. Therefore, he forced his way through the Yin Yang Hall before he was sent to the Middle Stream Cauldron on the Nine Pinnacles Mountain for alchemy.
After that, he went to the Ling Yun Tower and then the Heaven Zen Mountain.
Fang Zhengzhi had never thought so much about the change of events of the world.
However, things were different now.
He felt that he had neglected many things in the past as he looked at the beast which had experienced the change of the world on the fire rack.
These seemed to be the root of the mystery.
“An article about Mother Earth, could it be related to the ‘Source of God’ that Lin Ji mentioned about? Or was the Black Stone Palace the… Source of God?!” Fang Zhengzhi had a feeling that even Yun Qingwu did not know where the Source of God was.
That was because if Yun Qingwu had known where the Source of God was, things would not be so complicated like now.
According to Lin Ji…
The Source of God could turn the tides. In other words, whoever who could find it first could control the world.
Analyzing from the “importance” of the Source of God, why didn’t Yun Qingwu look for it? Or rather, if Yun Qingwu had known, she would have dug it out a long time ago.
She would not bother with any plans dealing with the Holy Region.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up and glistened with silvery-white sparks, as though it was separated from the real world.
“Shameless brat, tell me the truth, are you in the Godly State?” Ping Yang asked with expectation as she saw the sparks in Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes.
“No, I did not even touch the door for the Godly State.” Fang Zhengzhi was slightly stunned as he did not know why Ping Yang asked that.
“Then how did you defeat Lin Ji? Furthermore, I heard that you killed her with one strike of your sword!” Ping Yang was confused.
“Kill? Haha… I only made her faint.” Fang Zhengzhi shook his hand.
“Faint? That’s not possible, I remember Mother said that you were not even the match for the Space-splitting Demon God on the Heaven Zen Mountain?”
“Auntie Qian said that?”
“Erm? You are calling my mom Auntie? I remember you were very disrespectful towards her in the past!” Ping Yang smiled.
“I’m too engrossed. Sigh… That’s my strength, once I start acting, I will immerse myself in my character. Since I am acting as ‘Meng Tian’, I definitely have to be slightly more domineering and stop calling her Auntie.” Fang Zhengzhi smiled awkwardly.
“Domineering? Why do I feel that you are still as shameless?” Ping Yang asked.
“Cough cough…” Fang Zhengzhi coughed and changed the topic. “I know what we should do next!”
“Do what?” Ping Yang looked with anticipation.
“What do you think is the thing I want to do most now?” Fang Zhengzhi smiled slightly as he looked at Ping Yang.
“Now?” Ping Yang looked up and stared into Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes, causing her body to shudder.
“Yes.” Fang Zhengzhi nodded.
“…” Ping Yang blushed as she saw Fang Zhengzhi nod. Then, she looked at the surroundings and the hay in the cave before lying down as she said, “Although I am still young, if you really want to, I, I can give it to you …”
