Chapter 563: 312 BOSS

Azure Dragon Peak Master replied, "I can’t give you an exact description, because both your and my Spirit Realm have not yet reached ’Returning to Truth’; what we see may not necessarily be real."

"Returning to Truth... real..."

Fang Zhixing was momentarily stunned, suddenly remembering the old Taoist by the "Tree of Immortality."

In the eyes of that old Taoist, he, Fang Zhixing, was an evil spirit, a terrifying monster.

And in the eyes of Fang Zhixing, the old Taoist might not have been a Taoist at all.

People from two worlds, when they meet on the "Other Side," might see each other as monsters, as aliens.

Only when one’s Spirit Realm reaches ’Returning to Truth’ can one possibly perceive the essence and see the truth.

Azure Dragon Peak Master looked toward the Divine Tree and stated carefully, "The Five Elements Yin Yang Fruit you want comes from this Divine Tree."

Fang Zhixing’s spirit perked up, and he looked closely at the Divine Tree. Only then did he notice what seemed to be several round fireballs among the flame-entwined treetops.

Azure Dragon Peak Master seriously said, "In our eyes, this Divine Tree is always burning, but that may not be the real scene.

Without ’Returning to Truth’, everything is void, everything is false."

Fang Zhixing admired in astonishment and asked, "How much longer until the Five Elements Yin Yang Fruits mature?"

Azure Dragon Peak Master continued, "Some are about to mature, some have already matured, it’s just that we can’t pick them."

Fang Zhixing raised his eyebrows, utterly puzzled, "Why can’t we pick them?"

Azure Dragon Peak Master explained, "This flame is incredibly terrifying, possessing the might to scorch the heavens and boil the seas, and it burns incessantly. Once we touch the flame, we would be immediately incinerated, both body and spirit."

Fang Zhixing frowned and asked, "Not even the Undying could do it?"

Azure Dragon Peak Master shook his head, "The Undying are only limitedly immortal; they can’t withstand this type of flame either."

Fang Zhixing felt deeply mystified and doubtful, "That’s not right. If the flame is false, how can it burn people to death? Can a fire capable of burning people to death still be false?"

"Hmm, that is indeed hard to explain."

Azure Dragon Peak Master spread his hands, "What you see should be true, yet it’s also false; this is a paradox.

The Other Side itself is a paradox.

All I can tell you is that if you see flames, it’s best to believe they are real flames."

Fang Zhixing understood, and asked, "Then how can I get the Five Elements Yin Yang Fruit?"

"Wait!"

Azure Dragon Peak Master seriously said, "Wait for creatures from another world to come to the Other Side; in their eyes, the Divine Tree is not on fire and they can easily pick the Five Elements Yin Yang Fruit."

Fang Zhixing understood and nodded, "Once they pick them, I will snatch them."

Azure Dragon Peak Master again reminded, "Remember, in the eyes of creatures from that other world, you are a terrifying being; the moment they see you, they will try to kill you."

Fang Zhixing frowned, "Is it because of a language barrier?"

Azure Dragon Peak Master laughed and shook his head, "You’ll understand once you meet them."

After a pause, he added, "Also, that stone gate is the only exit, but it can only be opened from the outside."

Fang Zhixing was immediately alarmed and gravely said, "You mean, I can’t leave this place, even if there’s a deadly danger?"

Azure Dragon Peak Master smiled, "So, your duty is to guard this place; you must not flee, even in death."

Fang Zhixing was momentarily speechless and asked, "How strong are the enemies?"

"What do you think about the Sect Hierarch of the Hundred Spirit Sect?" Azure Dragon Peak Master asked with a smile.

Fang Zhixing paused slightly, then asked, "When can I leave?"

Azure Dragon Peak Master replied, "At least guard for a month, then someone will come to replace you."

Fang Zhixing understood, damn, this was undoubtedly a tough and possibly high-risk task.

However, for the sake of the Five Elements Yin Yang Fruit, he had to brace himself and go for it.

"Hmm, then I’ll head back now."

Azure Dragon Peak Master turned to leave, crossed the stone gate, and closed it behind him.

Kachakacha~

The stone gate again made the sound of mechanical gears turning, gradually closing.

At the very next instant!

The System Panel suddenly flashed with light.

[8, Conquer one Fifth Level Restricted Area (Completed)]

"Yo-ho!"

Fang Zhixing’s eyes instantly flashed with a gleam of peculiarity.

"It seems I guessed right; the stone gate is the gate to the Restricted Zone!"

Fang Zhixing thought to himself indeed.

But he hadn’t expected that behind the gate of the Fifth Level Restricted Zone would be the Other Side!

With that, condition 8 was also completed.

Fang Zhixing’s mood improved.

He walked to the chair, wanting to sit down and rest.

But he suddenly remembered the Sect Hierarch of the Hundred Spirit Sect sitting on the chair and immediately felt nauseous.

Therefore, he turned around, went to the Divine Tree, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

Time flowed quietly like water, unbeknownst how long had passed...

Humming~

Suddenly, the entire hall started shaking as if there was an earthquake.

Fang Zhixing opened his eyes and looked around.

He saw the walls of the hall flickering, the light faltering uncertainly.

Boom-ka!

Accompanied by a strange noise, a crack abruptly split open on the wall to his left.

Followed by footsteps.

Fang Zhixing quickly stood up, his gaze sharpening.

Out of the split in the wall, a colossal creature emerged, notably a three-headed Striped Tiger.

This giant beast stood over twenty meters tall, looking ferocious and menacing.

Its tail was not singular; it had three, each ending in a large ball covered with barbs.

On the back of this giant beast stood five figures: a bald old man, a middle-aged couple, a round-faced youth, and a young girl.

They appeared very strange with protruding fangs and sharp horns on their foreheads, their faces bumpy like toads.

Only the young girl looked somewhat human, her skin fair and clean.
