Gate of God

Beautiful.

One had to admit that Chi Guyan was really beautiful. Her facial features were exquisite and her body brimmed with elegance, beauty, and a regal aura.

Right now, this beautiful girl was enduring the intense heat of the flames for herself. Her entire body was drenched with sweat and she frowned.

One could tell that she was in real pain.

However, this pain did not stop Chi Guyan from expelling the heat from her body. Instead, she endured the pain with her shaking frame.

This determination and endurance were terrifying.

Fang Zhengzhi knew that Chi Guyan wanted to give him time to rest and recover. This was why she let the heat stay longer in her body.

However, he was a man…

Sometimes, he had to bear the burden.

There was an ancient saying, “When heaven presents one with opportunity, one must strengthen one’s will, move one’s bones into action, not fear starvation from work, and care less about one’s material self. Steady your heart and don’t be easily distracted, only then can you achieve your task.”

“Don’t you want a few more times?” Fang Zhengzhi’s hand, which was around her waist, tightened as he embraced her tightly.

Then, he started to extract from her once more.

This movement naturally surprised Chi Guyan. Quickly, the look of surprise faded away. Instead, it was now replaced with a snow-melting warmth.

Then, Chi Guyan’s hand around Fang Zhengzhi tightened.

“Boom!” Heat surged into his body once more. He wanted to grit his teeth and he felt like dying.

Indeed…

It was not easy to be a man.

Fang Zhengzhi did not know how long could he bear it anymore, because the third impact almost made him lose consciousness. His entire body became incredibly heavy.

Indeed, was he about to be defeated?

Starlight surged from Chi Guyan’s fingers into his body. It was slightly cool. However, this amount of coolness, in the face of such an immense heat, amounted to nothing.

The world before him was turning dark…

He was losing consciousness.

His arm around Chi Guyan started to relax. It was not because he did not want to hold on anymore but instead, it was because the pain this time was too intense. It was more intense than what he had imagined.

At this moment, another absorptive force came from her. It sucked the heat away from Fang Zhengzhi’s body.

At this body, he felt Chi Guyan, who was in his arms, trembling violently. Her skin turned as red as fire.

“Oh no, Sister Chi Guyan can take it no more!”

“If this continues, she’ll die with him!”

“No! We can’t let that happen.”

When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples saw this scene, they were all frantic.

Mu Qingfeng noticed the change on Chi Guyan’s body too. He saw her face of pain as well as the energy that steamed from her body. He clenched his fist tightly.

He wanted to help Chi Guyan, but he understood that Tian Xing and Wan Lei, who were in front of him, would not give him this chance.

What could he do?

Even Mu Qingfeng was at his wits’ end.

“Pavilion Leader, I must commend Chi Guyan’s thinking. Using that guy’s body as a crucible, she can cultivate the Thousand Years Fire Herb into a pill. However, how can a human body compare to a real crucible? Furthermore, she doesn’t seem so apt at pill-cultivation, right?” At this moment, someone said this.

It was Wan Lei from the Yin Yang Pavilion.

Mu Qingfeng said nothing. Instead, he frowned even more.

Wan Lei’s words were unpleasant, but they were the truth. A human body and his mind both had limits. Once it exceeded what was normally tolerable, the body would just overload and perish.

“Leader Tian wants his Thousand Years Fire Herb. However, looking at the situation now, if Chi Guyan continues, failure is certain. Once she fails, the energy from the Thousand Years Fire Herb will be gone. You won’t get anything back!” When Wan Lei noticed that Mu Qingfeng said nothing, he turned to look at Tian Xing. A light flashed in his eyes.

“What do you want?” Tian Xing looked at Wan Lei and his eyes narrowed.

“I have a plan, will Pavilion Leader Mu and Leader Tian want to hear me out?” A hint of a smile crossed Wan Lei’s face.

“Speak!” Tian Xing said.

“With Chi Guyan’s power, if she wants to turn the Thousand Years Fire Herb into medicine with his body, she will need at least 7 to 8 days, like more than 10 days. Even if she just wants to create the embryonic form of a medicine, she will need 10 to 12 hours. Am I wrong, Pavilion Leader Mu and Leader Tian?” Wan Lei said with confidence.

“Continue,” said Tian Xing.

The Five Sects of the Holy Region each specialized in something. The Heaven Dao Pavilion specialized in the Dao and trained with the sword. The Yin Yang Pavilion cultivated the natural Yin and Yang of heaven and earth. Their abilities at alchemy were supreme.

As the First Disciple of the Yin Yang Pavilion, Wan Lei naturally believed that he was right.

“The simplest method is for us to help Chi Guyan. Once the Ten Thousand Years Fire Herb takes its embryonic form, we shall extract it from the guy’s body. Do the two of you agree?” When Wan Lei said the last bit, he turned to look at Mu Qingfeng.

“Cultivate the embryonic form of the pill together?” Tian Xing’s eyes narrowed once more. He appeared to be thinking of something.

“This is the only plan I have to save Chi Guyan and retrieve the Thousand Years Fire Herb!” When Wan Lei noticed Tian Xing’s pause, he added that quickly.

“Okay, we shall listen to you. Old man Mu, you want to protect Chi Guyan. I don’t want to hurt her. All I want is to retrieve my Thousand Years Fire Herb. Doing so will benefit both of us!” When Tian Xing heard this, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

“Don’t do it, Pavilion Leader!” Before Mu Qingfeng could open his mouth, Emperor Lin Mubai had already shouted, “If we forcibly extract the pill, Fang Zhengzhi will die!”

“Oh? Fang Zhengzhi? Is he powerful?” When Wan Lei heard Lin Mubai’s words, a cold smile crossed his face. “From his clothes, he doesn’t seem to be someone from the Heaven Dao Pavilion, right?”

“Old man Mu, I’ve already taken a step back. Will you really want to become my enemy, just for someone who has yet to enter the Heaven Dao Pavilion?” At this moment, Tian Xing’s gaze was chilly.

“Crack!” Mu Qingfeng clenched his fist and said nothing.

However, he stared intently at Chi Guyan’s body. He looked at her pained expression, as well as her burning-hot skin.

Silence.

This was not a hard choice.

Just like what Wan Lei and Tian Xing had said, Fang Zhengzhi was someone who had yet to join the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Normally, how could he become enemies with the Nine Pinnacles Mountain for an outsider?

Furthermore, the situation was so urgent.

From Chi Gyuan’s expression, it was obvious that she would not abandon Fang Zhengzhi. If this went on, Chi Guyan may pay for it with her life.

“Master!”

“Please save elder sister, master!”

“Elder sister Chi Guyan can take it no more!”

When the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples noticed Mu Qingfeng’s silence, looks of panic crossed all their faces.

He said nothing but clenched his fists tightly. However, he slowly moved to the side and made way for a path.

When Tian Xing saw this, he hesitated no more. He rushed before Fang Zhengzhi and Chi Guyan. He looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who was in front of him, and a cold look crossed the corner of his mouth.

“B*stard, don’t blame me, blame yourself for eating something you should not have!” After he said that, he slammed his palm into Fang Zhengzhi’s chest.

A powerful energy surged into Fang Zhengzhi’s body.

While he knew that Mu Qingfeng consented, he had to cripple Fang Zhengzhi and crush his Small Dimension. This was a precaution he had to take.

He did not want Fang Zhengzhi to swallow the pill and run off.

Furthermore, he wanted Fang Zhengzhi to become crippled. Only if he was a cripple would Mu Qingfeng not regret his decision. After all, Mu Qingfeng would not become a foe of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain for a cripple.

“F*ck you!” Fang Zhengzhi wanted to swear but his mouth was sealed by Chi Guyan. There was no way he could say anything.

However, he did not expect Tian Xing to give add fuel to the flame at this moment. One must concede that those in the Sage State were more Machiavellian than he thought.

At this moment, Wan Lei was behind Fang Zhengzhi.

He hit down with his palm once more.

However, he hit Fang Zhengzhi’s waist. At the same time, a powerful energy rushed towards his waist.

At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi sensed that the stalk of Thousand Years Fire Herb, which continually emitted heat, in his body was slowly being enveloped by a stream of qi.

One had to concede that Wan Lei’s alchemy skills were better than Chi Guyan’s.

However, he did not know why did Wan Lei allow Tian Xing to allow Chi Guyan to cultivate the Thousand Years Fire Herb in his body into medicine.

Was it like what he said? To extract a pill?

Fang Zhengzhi did not think so.

He was not dumb.

Furthermore, even an idiot could tell that Wan Lei’s true objective was to hurt both the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and the Heaven Dao Pavilion, instead of getting the two sides to agree to peace.

So, why would Wan Lei convince Tian Xing and Mu Qingfeng?

When he thought about that, Fang Zhengzhi sensed the qi in his body swirling rapidly.

As it swirled, it started to change.

It felt as if it was splitting into two polar opposites.

Yin and Yang?

Fang Zhengzhi could not be sure. However, he could sense that the qi was splitting into two. After it turned into Yin and Yang, heat from the Thousand Years Fire Herb was being absorbed.

However, it did not wreak havoc in his body anymore. Instead, it was being extracted.

Like taking silk from a silkworm, it was being extracted strand by strand.

Faced with the energy being extracted, Fang Zhengzhi could sense Wan Lei’s palm, which was at his waist, was starting to heat up.

“Does he want to take advantage of the situation?” Fang Zhengzhi reacted quickly to this. At this moment, if he still did not know what Wan Lei was thinking, then he would be a true fool.

Helping to cultivate it into medicine was nothing more than an excuse.

Wan Lei’s true objective was to use Fang Zhengzhi, the ‘crucible’, to form a pill. In other words, Wan Lei wanted to take this chance to absorb part of the Thousand Years Fire Herb into his own body.

What a ‘noble’ plan.

What a ‘kind’ action.

As Fang Zhengzhi bore the pain of the heat, Wan Lei had to do nothing and could just wait for the pill to be cultivated. Soon, he would strike Fang Zhengzhi.

After he killed Fang Zhengzhi, no one would know of what he did.

Furthermore, no one knew how much medicine the Thousand Years Fire Herb in Fang Zhengzhi’s body would produce.

It was a perfect crime.

Importantly, Fang Zhengzhi could not speak.

Fang Zhengzhi now felt that everyone in the Sage State was like a wolf. They all moved to the top of a pyramid. The higher you went, the more difficult it was.

You could plan each step, or you could rush straight to the top.

Fang Zhengzhi decided to bear with the pain.

“The two extremities of Yin and Yang, Yin… Yang… flow of qi…” As he sensed the qi around the Thousand Years Fire Herb, Fang Zhengzhi pondered the problem in his mind.

He looked at Chi Guyan, who was looking at him quietly.

In her eyes, he could see a similar expression.

Endure.

…

The heat surged into Fang Zhengzhi’s body, and then Chi Guyan’s.

Cycle, a non-stop cycle.

In this cycle, Chi Gyuan’s expression became more and more pained. However, her eyes became brighter and brighter. They shone like stars.

The disciples from the Heaven Dao Pavilion and the Nine Pinnacles Mountain had stopped fighting.

Everyone was waiting for the embryonic form of the pill from Fang Zhengzhi’s body.

Tian Xing and Wan Lei both helped Chi Guyan cultivate the pill. Mu Qingfeng’s hand was cloaked with blue light. The blue light enveloped her body and reduced the heat she felt.

As for Fang Zhengzhi…

He had no right to expect such treatment.

Disciples from the Heaven Dao Pavilion occasionally poured water onto his body. Some of them released their energy to freeze the water into ice.

His insides were like a furnace, his skin felt like ice.

This was what Fang Zhengzhi was feeling right. Ice and fire.

Wait a moment.

Fire, ice?

Yin, Yang?

Suddenly, Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes lit up too. His blurry consciousness suddenly cleared up, like a seed which had just sprouted.
