Gate of God

Chapter 192: Jumping into the Valley

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Blurry is a term usually used to describe something that is partially obscured and not very clear.

However, Fang Zhengzhi was not using that term in this regard. He was thinking of a stranger and more mystical meaning.

The design in front of him was not too difficult to guess.

Usually, all of the barriers in the pocket dimensions would contain some form of hints. At the very least, they would tell you what you needed to do to pass.

However, the Broken Bridge gave no such hints. From the words on the stone, to the construct of the bridge, everything was very normal.

It would be difficult to know where to begin.

This looked like a barrier which required raw power to go through.

But, this was a barrier, a barrier in the World of the Sage. There had to be more than one way through.

There was no hint. That meant that the hint had already been given.

That is because...

The hint is the broken bridge!

Fang Zhengzhi did not know if he was right. This was too daring and novel a move. Very few people would think of the same idea.

However, if it was the same principle as how he attained the Heavenly Reflection State...

Then it was not impossible.

If this bridge was a reflection, then there had to be a real stone bridge somewhere else.

As he thought about it, he turned around and left the bridge. He then walked over to the edge of the cliff and looked over.

"Is he planning to jump off the cliff simply because he can’t cross the bridge?" Ping Yang kicked her leg in the direction of Fang Zhengzhi, her expression doubtful.

"I don’t think so?" Yan Xiu had no idea what Fang Zhengzhi was doing. However, he knew that Fang Zhengzhi would not do something so extreme.

As for the other three poor souls, they sweat profusely as they looked at Fang Zhengzhi pacing about, "What is he doing? Is he trying to find a good burial ground for us?"

They wanted to cry just thinking about it...

Even though they knew that it was inevitable, they still felt sad when it came.

...

Fang Zhengzhi had no idea what Ping Yang and Yan Xiu were thinking. All he thought about was finding that other stone bridge. He walked the cliff, stamping his foot every now and then.

"No? No rush... there are still many more places to go."

"No again?"

"What bad luck, still nothing?"

Every time he walked a few steps, he would extend his leg and step down, trying to see if there was a hidden stone bridge.

However...

Even after going around the entire cliff, he still did not step on anything solid.

Was he wrong?

Fang Zhengzhi felt that if the bridge they saw was a fake, then there should be a real one by the cliff side.

But there wasn’t.

"That’s not quite right? Isn’t there supposed to be a real one and a fake one?" Fang Zhengzhi cursed in his heart, his mind twirling.

Blurry.

It looks like it’s broken when it’s not...

This theory should still hold true.

So what was the problem?

Just as Fang Zhengzhi was thinking, he turned to look at the white mist at the other side. He began to observe the changes carefully.

Time began to pass.

A moment later.

His eyes glimmered.

"Broken Bridge... broken! I understand now, I thought that there was another real bridge, but there isn’t. Since this is named the broken bridge, it really is a broken bridge. There is another half on the other side, but they are not in a straight line. They are apart!"

This way, those not powerful enough will definitely fall to the valley.

Yes, this must be the case!

Two halves that are not placed in a straight line.

The broken bridge was the hint, hinting that there was a hidden half on the other side. As long as the direction was correct and one was powerful enough, one could reach the other side.

It was simple.

However, if one could not see the opposite side, it would be difficult to understand the logic.

It was a good thing Fang Zhengzhi could apply what he learnt.

So...

What was the correct direction?

Fang Zhengzhi began to look at the white mist once again. Very quickly, he found the position of the other half. The mist was a little thicker there.

This was a very ordinary scene. Mist would always be a little thicker at certain places.

Those who did not know why the mist would be thicker would not know that there was another bridge behind it.

What allowed Fang Zhengzhi to know that that was the location was that no matter the changes, the mist around that area was always thicker than the surroundings.

"Let’s go, we will cross the bridge!" Fang Zhengzhi turned to look at Yan Xiu and Ping Yang, smiling.

"Cross the bridge? How?" Ping Yang was taking a nap, her eyes snapping open in doubt when she heard Fang Zhengzhi’s voice.

Yan Xiu did not speak, but, he was equally doubtful.

"Of course we’ll jump, watch closely!" After Fang Zhengzhi finished, he did not explain any further, jumping off the cliff and towards the mist.

This shocked Ping Yang.

She never understood why Fang Zhengzhi would think of such a method after more than an hour examining the bridge?

Jump...

Was it so easy?

Furthermore, Fang Zhengzhi did not jump from the broken bridge. He jumped off the cliff?

He really jumped off it!

"Fang Zhengzhi really jumped off the cliff!" Ping Yang’s jaw dropped.

"..." Yan Xiu’s jaw also dropped. He did not understand why Fang Zhengzhi would decide to jump off the cliff all of a sudden. Was he hallucinating?

The three poor souls also stared widely as they saw Fang Zhengzhi jump.

"Jump off a cliff?!"

"That’s his bright idea?"

"How did he manage to attain Heavenly Reflection? Who does something so dumb? If you gave me an hour to think, I would at least use a bamboo stick to help me jump!"

The five of them looked at Fang Zhengzhi’s disappearing silhoueete.

Fang Zhengzhi was floating in mid air, a light breeze supporting him. He was clearly controlling the wind elements around him.

This was something very normal.

It was not special at all.

It was the pedestrian nature of his actions that puzzled everyone.

So many people before him had tried the same tactic. Some of them had jumped from the cliff, the others from the broken bridge.

They all ended up...

The same way.

"Drop down!"

The three hostages shouted in unison.

No one expected Fang Zhengzhi to be able to cross the broken bridge. Never would they expect that the way to cross the bridge was by jumping.

Yan Xiu wanted to stop him, but, it was too late.

Fang Zhengzhi had already took the leap. He was incredibly quick and disappeared into the thick mist in an instant.

"So dumb! To think I trusted him so much!" Ping Yang scolded, then, she turned to look at the three hostages, almost as if saying, "So who wants to go first?"

"..."

The three hostages immediately understood what Ping Yang meant. They looked at each other. Since Fang Zhengzhi had jumped, one of them had the chance to live.

Under such a circumstance, no one was willing to step out.

The three of them did not move.

However, Yan Xiu moved. He looked at the white mist in the distance, his expression icy. Then, he also jumped in the same direction as Fang Zhengzhi.

Ping Yang was just about to choose yet another two people. Seeing Yan Xiu walk to the edge of the cliff, her jaw dropped once again.

"Yan Xiu, are you going to follow Fang Zhengzhi’s footsteps and jump? Don’t be dumb... this is the World of the Sage, I will never believe that this is the way to pass the barrier!" Ping Yang said in disdain.

"Since he jumped, I will jump too!" Yan Xiu’s voice was icy. He ignored Ping Yang’s advice and walked towards the spot where Fang Zhengzhi had jumped off

He squatted, then leapt into the air!

"No way?! He really leapt!" Ping Yang looked at Yan Xiu, who was in mid air, in disbelief.
