The two parties quickly signed the bet, and many humans and dragons present imprinted their own auras on the bet.
After both parties put away the bet, Ao Huang stared at Lei Zhongmo and said, "Once we get out of here, the Four Seas Dragon Palace and the Holy Academy will recognize this bet. If you lose and want to regret it, our East Sea Dragon Palace and the Holy Academy will join forces to snatch the bet from the Lei family!"
Lei Zhongmo smiled happily and said, "If Fang Yunyun wants to deny it, I hope that you, the East China Sea Dragon Palace, can help our Lei family regain our fiefdom in the Blood Mang Realm!"
"Fang Yun is not like you!" Ao Huang said.
"Yes, Fang Yun is a virtual saint, the lord of blood light, so we have to bet with him! Then, let's see the outcome in Longmen River!" Lei Chongmo stopped talking, took out a cushion from the Yinjiang Shell, sat down on the spot, took out a volume of scriptures and annotations by the semi-saint Yang Xiong, and read it carefully word by word, not caring about the various tribes around him at all.
Lei Zhongmo's dark face was ordinary, but his eyes made people understand what concern meant.
Fang Yun asked: "Ao Huang, when will the Dragon Gate open?"
Ao Huang shook his head and said, "This kind of treasure doesn't have a fixed opening time, we can only calculate an approximate time. Just like one or two years may seem like a long time to us, but to the treasure, one or two years is just a blink of an eye."
"Well, then I'll sleep for a while." Fang Yun said.
"Ah? You still want to sleep?" Ao Huang widened his eyes, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"If you experience a hundred worries, you will know that I was exhausted to death! The experience itself is real. Some parts of my body may mistakenly think that I am really dead, so I must rest well." Fang Yun said, and ate some magical objects. Then he held a seashell in his hand and saw the seashell emit a faint light.
A large bed appeared, surrounded by curtains on the top and sides, isolating the inside and outside.
"I'll sleep a little longer. Call me when Dragon Gate appears." Fang Yun patted Ao Huang, opened the bed curtain and went to sleep.
Many people stared at the bed in a daze. Installing a bed in a seashell was something that only the most dissolute playboys of the human race could do.
"It's just big, what's so great about it." Lei Yigu muttered softly, but when he thought of the Sea-Swallowing Shell in Fang Yun's hand, his heart became extremely hot.
Time passes slowly.
A day later, Fang Yun stretched himself, yawned, opened the bed curtain and walked out.
The sky was full of stars, the morning breeze was cool, and the eastern sky was bluish-white, indicating that the sun was about to rise.
Fang Yun looked around. Almost all the tribes were resting with their eyes closed. Ao Huang was guarding the bedside. When he saw Fang Yun wake up, he immediately smiled.
"The dragon gate hasn't appeared yet?" Fang Yun said.
"No hurry. How's your health?"
"Very good! After the training in the Valley of Sorrow, not only is my body stronger, but my mind and spirit also seem to have been cleansed and become purer. All the suffering I endured before has been transformed into my strength, allowing me to break through my previous limits. This feeling is great."
Fang Yun said, closing his eyes and carefully feeling the changes in his body.
Afterwards, Fang Yun frowned slightly, because he felt many vague thoughts around him. Like wisps of very fine green smoke, he could also feel some emotions in those thoughts.
"Dissatisfaction and hatred, this should be the Lei family, to be more precise, Lei Yigu's. However, behind these emotions, there is also hidden joy. It seems that the Lei family thinks that the chances of winning are very high." Fang Yun closed his eyes, but his heart was sensing the thoughts of everyone.
"This new thought is full of coldness. There is no hatred, nor even any overly human emotions. Instead, it is like a hunting beast, cold and direct. This should be an ancient demon."
"There is some worry in this thought, probably..."
Fang Yun slowly sensed the thoughts around him and was completely immersed in them, because this experience was so unique, it was as if he could see through other people's hearts.
After a long time, Fang Yun opened his eyes and a faint smile appeared on his face. He liked the feeling just now.
Fang Yun vaguely felt that this should be an ability of a university scholar or a great scholar, because his literary courage had reached the third level, and he had experienced extreme training in the Valley of Sorrow, and it could even be said that he was resurrected from the dead, so he acquired this ability in advance, but it was not complete.
"This should be the power close to the 'right state of mind' in the four realms of the Grand Secretary. This power may seem insignificant, but without it, one will be disturbed by external forces, and will be 'absent-minded, blind, deaf, and unaware of the taste of food'. It is as if one's heart is not in one's body. Although one is looking, one cannot see the truth; although one is listening, one cannot hear the truth; although one is eating, one cannot taste the real taste. My current ability is to eliminate the disturbances of the outside world and directly feel their truest thoughts or feelings."
Fang Yun was happy.
"Only after one's heart is rectified can one have the opportunity to touch 'utmost sincerity'. Once one has some understanding of utmost sincerity and has one's own holy way, one can become a great scholar. Although the Doctrine of the Mean was separated by Zhu Xi into one of the Four Books, it is just a part of the Book of Rites, just like the Great Learning, in Shengyuan Continent. Zisizi is the author of the Doctrine of the Mean. He once summarized it based on his own strength and said, 'The way of utmost sincerity can predict the future'! The pinnacle of the way of utmost sincerity is to become a saint, and now I am just scratching the surface."
"My current power doesn't allow me to know the time in advance, but I can know the rules in advance. If I see the same person getting angry, an ordinary Hanlin would probably just see him getting angry, and the perceptive Hanlin would be on guard. But now, I can tell whether the other party will make a mistake and when he will make a move. Because I am watching and seeing the truth, and I am also listening and hearing the truth. Even if it is only part of the truth or the truth, it is better than being absent-minded and deceived."
Fang Yun quickly sorted out what he had gained and realized that this kind of power would be extremely terrifying in battle.
"Now, if there are five Grand Secretaries, namely 'Newly Promoted', 'Investigating Things', 'Achieving Knowledge', 'Sincerity' and 'Correcting Mind', then, with my huge advantage in battle poetry and strength, I have a chance to defeat the Newly Promoted Grand Secretaries and the Grand Secretaries of Investigating Things, and even die together with the Grand Secretaries of the Realm of Zhizhi. But if I meet a Grand Secretary of the Realm of Sincerity, he will definitely not give me the chance to die together. If I meet a Grand Secretary of the Realm of Correctness, then I will have no power to fight back, because he has already judged what I am going to do next through my behavior, and it will be easy for him to defeat me."
As Fang Yun was thinking, the earth shook and the river surged.
"The Dragon Gate has appeared!" a dragon shouted excitedly.
Fang Yun immediately looked towards the east.
Then a huge sun broke through the ground and rushed into the sky.
At the moment when the sun was rising into the sky, a huge golden gate slowly rose from the source of Longmen River, like a majestic god born at the end of heaven and earth, rising higher and higher.
