Capítulo 2082: Chapter 2081: Heavenly Gate, You Still Have Much to Learn
The world before them kept changing, and Xu Zii and Lin Ruhu did not resist intentionally.
Because this is a trial.
A trial belonging to the Earthly Gate, and resisting is aningless.
After so ti, the world finally returned to normal, but what Xu Zii and Lin Ruhu saw had changed dramatically.
The originally barren courtyard was now overgrown with weeds.
And these weeds were ticulously trimd, as if pruned daily.
Most importantly, every single weed was several ters tall, taller than a person.
The lush growth of the weeds was like a thicket, filling the entire courtyard.
Only in the very center was there a path.
No matter how the weeds grew, they absolutely did not affect the path.
A sign hung beside it, with the words “Those who pass this gate must not be touched by the plants.”
This requirent was quite challenging.
If defeating these plants, a little more strength would suffice.
But not being attacked even once was truly demanding.
Even Lin Ruhu furrowed his brow tightly, saying, “How can one possibly avoid such dense thickets of weeds?”
“Who said avoiding is the only option?” Xu Zii chuckled.
“Destroy everything, and it’s all resolved.
As long as there are no enemies, there’s no threat of being attacked.”
“The rules don’t say we can’t attack the plants.”
As Xu Zii spoke, Lin Ruhu’s eyes lit up.
“Brother Zii, let take the lead for you.”
Lin Ruhu promptly took out his staff.
In his hands, the staff swept with great vigor, “Boom boom boom, boom boom boom.”
It sounded like a continuous explosion, blasting relentlessly.
Lin Ruhu charged ahead, sprinting wildly toward the path.
Though the courtyard seed small, upon entering the surface world, it expanded boundlessly with the appearance of the plants.
The path stretched to infinity, with thickets of weeds and bushes covering everything else.
But Lin Ruhu paid no heed, his gaze firm, paving the way ahead with all his might.
As the two stepped onto the path, the weeds on either side seed to be stimulated.
Each weed beca unrecognizable, starting to attack Xu Zii and Lin Ruhu.
The attacks of the weeds were dense and impenetrable, each one like a sturdy rope, flexible yet hard as a blade.
Though the weeds stood two ters tall, their stems were extrely slender.
These weeds resembled torrents, covering the path along the way.
With every step Lin Ruhu took, his staff had to fend off countless weed attacks.
The power and ntal strength required were imasurable.
Because among such densely packed and slender weeds, being attacked by any would result in failure.
“Kill,” Lin Ruhu’s eyes were nearly bloodshot.
He couldn’t use the Law of Heaven and Earth because enlarging his body would only make him more vulnerable.
After a long trek, Lin Ruhu finally exhausted his strength.
He guarded the way excellently, sparing Xu Zii from needing to act at all.
But the imnse pressure and the relentless weed attacks were too taxing.
The final swing of his staff seed to falter.
This particular strike was off, the imnse force rebounded, nearly causing him to lose grip of the staff.
He directly flung the staff away.
“Brother Zii,” Lin Ruhu shouted urgently.
“I got it,” Xu Zii smiled.
He opened his large hand, and as if with so mysterious power, began to absorb all the weeds into his palm.
The pressure on Lin Ruhu instantly eased.
“Let’s go,” Xu Zii said.
“This Earthly Gate bestowed basic life to the weeds. Do you know among all plants, which has the strongest vitality?”
“Weeds?” Lin Ruhu imdiately responded.
“That’s right. So say weeds aren’t even real plants, never worthy of a second glance.
So prefer the national beauty of peonies, or the plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, praised by countless literati.
But if you don’t believe it, you can try burning or trampling them hard.
Almost any plant would perish, but weeds, undying despite wildfires, spring back with the winds of spring.”
Xu Zii explained.
“Mr. Zhuge’s understanding of earthly creatures is remarkable. This gate is not only a test but also a showcase of his power.”
“Showcase power?” Lin Ruhu still seed puzzled.
“The Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Gates serve not only as tests for visitors but also as demonstrations of one’s might.”
Xu Zii elaborated.
“The Human Gate focuses on his guests, displaying his charisma and leadership; the Earthly focuses on earthly creatures, showing his observational skills and attention to detail.”
“I’m curious about the Heavenly Gate and what it holds.”
“Brother Zii, we haven’t even exited the Earthly Gate yet,” Lin Ruhu quickly reminded him.
“This Earthly Gate stretches endlessly, with no clue of its length.”
“There are many things you still need to learn,” Xu Zii shook his head with a laugh.
“Sotis, you can’t rely solely on what you see; appearances can be deceiving.”
Xu Zii stepped forward, and the void began to ripple.
It seed as though soone shattered through with absolute force from the boundless void.
Xu Zii did not use brute force but skillfully applied the principles of space.
There exists a gap between the surface world and the inner world.
Without breaking through space, leaving is impossible.
“You’ll learn these things in ti, we have all the ti,” Xu Zii smiled.
“I’ll work hard,” Lin Ruhu replied eagerly.
…
At that mont, as Xu Zii broke through the space.
The entire earthly realm seed to collapse.
Those so-called weeds and bushes appeared unable to approach Xu Zii at all.
Just before the collapse, the space seed to intuitively resist.
At this mont, changes in the earthly realm beca even more varied.
Besides weeds, nurous Man-Eating Flowers and other plants appeared.
All intent on obstructing Xu Zii and Lin Ruhu here.
“Get lost,” Xu Zii swung his hand.
A powerful force rebounded, followed by flas that enveloped Xu Zii and Lin Ruhu.
Any plant nearing them would ignite instantly.
Finally, as the void rippled like flowing water, the two were like droplets, vanishing into the void.
They felt briefly weightless.
Eventually, returning to normal, they found themselves back in the courtyard again.
But this central courtyard was no longer the surface world’s realm, it was truly the Zhuge Villa.
The courtyard was now tranquil, with birds singing and flowers blooming peacefully.
An Oriole bird perched on a branch, chirping, “Passed, passed.”
“Little bird, where is Mr. Zhuge?” Lin Ruhu asked.
“Inside, inside,” the Oriole bird started to shout.
“Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Gate.”
