717 I Found a Tablet by the Road

"Shameless, could this possibly be another independent world?" Chi Guyan was so focused on scanning the surrounding that she didn't notice the change on Fang Zhengzhi's body."

"Another independent world?" Fang Zhengzhi obviously understood what she meant. In other words, this was an isolated space in the Divine Rain Pond.

The thing was…Why was there another independent space in the Divine Rain Pond? Furthermore, why did it happen to be located at the Ninth Heaven?

This was a big question.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, this should be the secret to the Ninth Heaven.

"Do I have to break this world apart and learn something in the process?"

"Why does this scene feel familiar?"

"Another world…It's in the Divine Rain Pond, but not under Divine Rain Pond's control or coverage. It's a completely independent world."

At this thought, Fang Zhengzhi unintentionally noticed the silvery white light on his chest.

It looked like a distant star in the sky, and it felt cold.

"Eh?" Fang Zhengzhi reached towards his chest and pulled his tattered clothes apart, revealing his recrafted Breastplate, because that was where the light was coming from.

"What's this?"

Fang Zhengzhi was puzzled by the light, because he wasn't controlling anything inside his Breastplate with his mind. He sank his consciousness into The Vast World that was embedded onto his Breastplate, which became the replacement for his Small Dimension, expanding it by countless times.

However, the only downside was that…The Vast World couldn't be used normally anymore.

Of course, this was a price that he was willing to pay. It was a simple logic, the choice between a treasure and his life wasn't a difficult one.

"It's this thing?" Fang Zhengzhi soon discovered where the light was coming from. It was the pitch-black metal box.

He wasn't too sure about the material or the name of this box, but he knew what it contained.

Heaven Dao Sage Tablets. There were 14 Heaven Dao inside the box, including the 13 that Yun Qingwu gave him, and the 1 that he already had.

"Why did the box containing Heaven Dao Sage Tablets suddenly lit up? Furthermore, it happened in the Ninth Heaven. What was going on?"

"Wait a minute!"

"Yun Qingwu…"

That was right, this scene was similar to the time when Yun Qingwu locked him up with the 13 Heaven Dao Sage Tablets, putting him into an independent world!

Moreover, Chi Guyan was saying that the Ninth Heaven might be another world that existed within the Divine Rain Pond. If that was the case, could this world be a…Heaven Dao Sage Tablet?!

"That can't be right, could I really be so lucky?" Fang Zhengzhi wasn't so certain. After all, even a fool knew that something as precious as the Heaven Dao Sage Tablets wasn't a grocery that could be found on the streets. How could he find one so easily?

Most importantly, whether this sandy world was a Heaven Dao Sage Tablet was just an idea he had.

However, everyone must have a dream. How would a person without dreams be different from a dead body? Maybe, just maybe, it might turn out to be a Heaven Dao Sage Tablet.

Since there was no harm trying, he decided to try it out. There might even be a pleasant surprise waiting for him.

The box was easy and convenient to use.

Fang Zhengzhi tried using it a few times after receiving the box. All he had to do was shout 'keep' at the Heaven Dao Sage Tablets.

It was just as easy to take the Tablets out of the box. He only had to say 'out' to the box, and the Tablets would come out automatically.

This box was truly an essential commodity.

While Fang Zhengzhi was engrossed in his thoughts, he took the black metal box out of The Vast World. As he did that, the box started shining even more brightly, just like the dazzling stars.

Its radiance finally caught Chi Guyan's attention.

"Hmm?" Chi Guyan turned to look at the black metal box in Fang Zhengzhi's hands, and she was clearly startled to see it.

After that, her eyes lit up with extreme astonishment. This was an emotion she hardly ever displayed, even when she was fighting Tian Xing, she didn't put on such an expression.

Of course, Fang Zhengzhi wasn't in the mood to explain it to her.

He was going to try it first!

"Keep!" Without hesitation, he opened the box and shouted at the endless world of sand in front of him.

The entire world started trembling instantly, and the endless amount of sand gushed toward the black metal box crazily.

…

Demon Race, Blood Shadow City.

The grand black palace stood in the centre of Blood Shadow City like a crouching black beast, giving off an air of mightiness.

At the gate of the Demon Palace, Yun Qingwu, wearing a long white dress, glanced toward the sky. Her beautiful face was shadowed by a slight sign of sadness and worry.

She sighed softly and retracted her gaze, before slowly turning and walking toward the Demon Palace. She wasn't walking too quickly, in fact, she was hesitating.

Despite her snail-like pace, she eventually passed through the front gate of the Demon Palace and arrived before a room at the centre of the palace.

"Young Master!" the Demon soldiers guarding the room immediately paid their respects to Yun Qingwu when they saw her and opened the door softly.

Yun Qingwu nodded her head softly and entered the room.

"You guys can leave." A voice was heard when Yun Qingwu entered the room.

"Yes!" the servants in the room all bowed and left the room.

Yun Qingwu looked up toward the middle-aged man sitting in the room. He had sharp brows, starry eyes, and he was wearing a black crown and a loose black robe with golden rims.

"Father." Yun Qingwu paid her respect to the man.

"Ok, have a seat. Qingwu, do you still remember the time when you opposed mine and the elders' idea?" Emperor Yun looked toward Yun Qingwu lovingly.

"Qingwu remembers." She nodded gently.

"It's been a month since then, do you still think that he could do it?" Emperor Yun took a sip from his teacup.

"I do." She nodded again.

"Qingwu, there's still a chance if we change the plan now, or else, once…"

"Father, with our Demon Race's current strength, there's no way we could go against the five sects of the Holy Region. If we make our move now, they would definitely fight back. If that happens, even if we expend all our resources, the Demon Race would take at least 100 years to recover!" Yun Qingwu didn't wait for Emperor Yun to finish speaking.

"Father understands the things you are talking about, and it's because of that that I agreed with your decision back then. However, aren't you putting too much at stake? 13 Heaven Dao Sage Tablets…And the top treasure of our Demon Race, were all given to that kid. If this goes south, we'd lose everything!" Emperor Yun clearly sounded worried.

"Father, although the 13 Heaven Dao Sage Tablets are important, but we can take them back even if we lose them. However, there's only a single opportunity for us to seize the item in the Ninth Heaven!"

"Are you really certain that he could get to the Ninth Heaven?" Emperor Yun replied with another question.

"If he can't get to the Ninth Heaven, I'm afraid that no one in this world could do it either. If that's really the case, it just means that this isn't the right time for us!" Yun Qingwu replied.

"Do you really trust him that much?"

"Yes, he's the only one that could get to the Ninth Heaven, and he's the only one…That could obtain that item. All I did is helping him to break the Great Formation of Nine Cataclysms on the Ninth Heaven." Yun Qingwu replied after a short silence.

"Ok, Father gets your point. I'll try my best to assist your plan, but the Holy Region is too dangerous, so could you not go there personally?" Emperor Yun finally nodded his head.

"Father, Qingwu has to go there personally for this!"

"Qingwu ah, it's not that I don't trust you, but your strength is…"

"Father, please trust me!"

"This…ai, fine, but you've to be extremely cautious. Even if we can't succeed this time, we can still wait for another 100 years. You have to understand, you are the Demon Race's real hope!"

"Father, please be assured, Qingwu will definitely be cautious." Yun Qingwu nodded and slowly exited the room.

Divine Rain Pond, the Ninth Heaven.

Fang Zhengzhi's eyes were wide open as he stared at the sand that were gushing into the black metal box in his hand. He couldn't help but be stunned.

"I could…Actually keep it?"

"Could this sandy world really be a Heaven Dao Sage Tablet? That can't be it, right? When was I ever this lucky?"

Fang Zhengzhi couldn't believe that this was happening. Although he had guessed that this world was a Sage Tablet, but when happiness descended upon him, he couldn't help but sing internally, "I found a Tablet by the road…"
