The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 158 ~ Test Recognition

"I'm sorry, grandpa. I've been troubling you!" Zhang Ziyi apologized, feeling guilty.

"This all has nothing to do with your–. You're innocent and don't apologize!" god Gou Liang said, he did not like Zhang Ziyi apologizing to him.

"Stay Grandpa, ak—!" Zhang Ziyi did not continue his sentence when God Gou Liang cut him off.

"Don't you say anything stupid, Ziyi'er. You're innocent and don't blame yourself!" God Gou Liang said coldly. It seemed that the rebuttal he did not accept in this sentence of his.

Silently, looking for a moment. Zhang Ziyi was still unable to calm down.

"Oh yeah... Ziyi'er, I see there is a blood flow in your body that is opposite but also not conflicting!" The Fire God broke the silent atmosphere created for a moment.

Looking towards the Fire God for a moment, Zhang Ziyi then raised both of his hands and watched him.

"Yes ... I have poison in my left hand and... Ya—!" Zhang Ziyi did not continue his sentence, he immediately turned his head towards God Gou Liang.

"Let's try it!" zhang Ziyi.

God Gou Liang and the God of fire did not immediately ask. They had known what Zhang Ziyi would do later.

Zhang Ziyi took out a dagger from his s.p.a.ce ring, then mindlessly directly injured his palm. The dripping blood he controlled formed a pill. Zhang Ziyi then asked God Gou Liang to open his mouth.

Without resisting, God Gou Liang did as Zhang Ziyi had requested earlier. Afterwards the blood pill that was originally in Zhang Ziyi's hands began to fly slowly. And into the mouth of God Gou Liang.

Five seconds passed. Zhang Ziyi's blood pill started to react. God Gou Liang's body began to emit a green light.

God Gou Liang took a lotus stance, then began to control the essential energy contained in the pill, to clear away the poison scattered in his body.

In the forty second, God Gou Liang began to spit out black blood from his mouth. This time with a dark green color. Such a pungent smell was even more stinging than before, smelling from the black blood.

Uncompleted, God Gou Liang resumed his cultivation, clearing the remains of the poison from his body.

A minute has happened since absorbing the efficacy of the pill. Now the poison lodged in the body of God Gou Liang has been completely purged.

But the problem was that God Gou Liang no longer had much energy left. This itself is caused by the poison of the Hell's Centipede that had lodged in his body that had eaten half of the power of God Gou Liang. So that when the poison comes out, the condition of God Gou Liang's body will recover completely. But his spiritual energy– had been dissipated by the poison. So that he needs to gather back his strength.

Zhang Ziyi took out five grains of Heavenly level pills, giving them to God Gou Liang.

"These pills might only be able to recover eight percent of my strength!" god Gou Liang.

"really?" I couldn't believe Zhang Ziyi when I heard Gou Liang's words earlier.

"Yes, as the higher one's cultivation is, then he will need a pill that has a higher level again." The Fire God helps to explain.

Hearing that, Zhang Ziyi was convinced and increasingly convinced that the cultivation of this God Gou Liang could be higher than the Fire God himself.

"In fact, the cultivation of this great grandfather alone was still incapable, and hid from the pursuit of the Celestial Emperor ..." Zhang Ziyi. "If that's the case, then I should also be able to surpass Grandpa. In order to be on par with the Celestial Emperor himself!" He is determined in heart. But God Gou Liang and the Fire God knew of his determination from the look in his eyes.

"You take it easy, Ziyi'er. Someday, I'm sure you'll be able to surpass me. Even surpassing the Celestial Emperor at once!" God Gou Liang patted Zhang Ziyi on the shoulder while revealing a sincere condolence.

"I'll try Grandpa!" zhang Ziyi said confidently.

"Good... I love this spirit of yours!"

Zhang Ziyi was reminded of the Great Sacred level pill in his room ring. He then took it out and intended to surrender it to God Gou Liang.

"Grandpa—"

"Save it for you. You'll need it later... Don't you care about me. I can heal myself. Hurry up to that portal before it closes!" said Lord Gou Liang, who rejected the pill Zhang Ziyi gave.

Had hesitated, but Zhang Ziyi immediately brushed it aside when she saw the smile engraved on the face of God Gou Liang.

"Alright Grandpa!"

"Oh, yeah... Ziyi'er, I and Lord Gou Liang will not accompany you for some time to come. We will recover our condition first. Only then will God Gou Liang and I return to meet you!" the Fire God.

"Good, Grandpa. I understand!"

After giving a salute, Zhang Ziyi then got up and intended to enter the portal which slowly began to shrink.

"Take care of yourself, Ziyi'er ... Don't fall down until we see you later..." The Fire God said the last word in this farewell.

"I'll meet you next time, and when that comes, then you should be three times stronger than this!" God Gou Liang also said his last words.

"Good Grandpa..."

After which, Zhang Ziyi entered the portal.

Whush!

Right after Zhang Ziyi was inside the portal, the portal also disappeared.

"I hope he can complete this test and get recognition from the heavens."

"Yes!"

The Fire God and Gou Liang God suddenly disappeared from there.

***

Zhang Ziyi was in a foreign place. Filled by thick fog to dispel the Sense of vision. So thick was the fog, that the Eagle Eyes skill itself did not work here. Not only in the sense of sight, but the other five senses are also in a sense of limited while in this place.

Zhang Ziyi walked without direction. He also did not lower his guard.

For a moment, he realized that this scattered fog was no ordinary mist. Rather it contains a very concentrated poison. Luckily this matter did not greatly affect Zhang Ziyi.

After a few moments of stepping, Zhang Ziyi accidentally kicked a fairly small stone, roughly the size of an ankle.

Zhang Ziyi lowered his head and looked at the stone. He touched the stone and felt it wet.

"Hmm, this stone is wet with water!" muttered Zhang Ziyi. "Then, there should be a spring around here!" He continued walking.

The fog in taste began to thin, Zhang Ziyi could begin to see around within a ten-meter radius.

Sure enough, ten meters from where he examined the stone, there was a fairly large reservoir.

"Why is there a reservoir here." murmured Zhang Ziyi.

"If the reservoir is in this place, there should be residents who make this reservoir!" Zhang Ziyi approached the reservoir. Dipped his hands in the reservoir and smelled water in the reservoir.

Zhang Ziyi sensed that there was a mixture of poison in the reservoir. He justifies it because in this place it is strict about poison.

But, what stuck in his mind was, the stone he had just examined was wet with water, while the water source was located a bit far from the reservoir itself.

Zhang Ziyi looked around, faintly seen a suspension bridge connecting two landmasses separated by a reservoir.

Zhang Ziyi then approached the bridge. Walk on it until he's across. The house that looked empty plus the steaming fog was quite dispelling the view, creating a horror impression on the house.

Carefully Zhang Ziyi stepped closer and closer towards the house made from the plank. The outside look is so messy.

From the front, back, and right and left sides of the house Zhang Ziyi checked. But he found no signs of the occupants of the house.

"Squeaky... Why is there no sign of its inhabitants?" muttered.

Zhang Ziyi walked towards the weathered door. Convinced and believed, one touch of rough no energy alone can immediately knock down the door.

Zhang Ziyi opened the door carefully. Enter that weathered house, and check inside it.

Whush!

Whush!

Whush!

...

Zhang Ziyi immediately lowered his head and tilted his body to the left side.A few thorny objects floated up and almost hit his body. The thorns were directly attached to the wooden wall.

Not ending up there, the thorns shot back towards Zhang Ziyi's body. But not a single thorn managed to stick to his body, because Zang Ziyi was so good at evading.

twenty seconds, gone. The thorns stopped being visible. But something else happened to Zhang Ziyi.

The dense aura of death spread and filled one room in the house.

Zhang Ziyi flinched and felt a bit of goosebumps when he felt that death aura. I don't know why he's scared now.
