Chapter 1491 - The Saint’s Great Limit

Chapter 1491 The Saint’s Great Limit

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. These words of flattery sounded like mockery. Did Zhu Honggong think he was stupid before this?

Zhu Honggong noticed that his master’s expression was slightly unnatural so he hastily said, “Master, please listen to me.”

“Speak.”

“I agree with going to the twin lotus domain to cultivate. However, you’ve left your footprints all over the nine domains. You’re famous and have many admirers. Hence, it’d be easy to expose our location. Master, I have a better idea.”

Everyone: “…”

“Are you questioning master’s decision?” Mingshi Yin asked. “I dare not!” Zhu Honggong hurriedly waved his hand.

“Then, speak,” Mingshi Yin said. He crossed his arms, looking as though he was waiting to watch a good show. He wanted to see how Zhu Honggong was going to smooth things over.

Zhu Honggong said, “The yellow lotus domain is remote compared to the other domains. Similar to the golden lotus domain, the cultivation limit there is low, but they’re rich in resources. Over the years, I’ve collected many high-quality life hearts. They should be enough for everyone to use. I think the yellow lotus domain is the perfect place for us to cultivate.”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “Although your words aren’t wrong, the yellow lotus domain doesn’t have a Great Saint. Cultivating in the yellow lotus domain for 10,000 years isn’t even as beneficial as a sentence from a Great Saint. The runic passages between the two green lotus domains have already been established so it’s easy for us to travel back and forth. In regards to life hearts, there are plenty of fierce beasts there that we can kill to replenish our life hearts.”

Zhu Honggong smacked his forehead and said, “You’re right, master! Why didn’t I think of that?”

Mingshi Yin: “…”

“This silly fellow only knows how to bootlick!’

Duanmu Dian, who had returned to the small courtyard, asked, “Old Lu, aren’t you afraid the Great Void will come knocking on your door?” Mingshi Yin replied with a smile, “The Great Void may be powerful, but Evil Sky Pavilion isn’t to be trifled with. Moreover, it’s not like we’re going to confront them directly.”

Duanmu Dian sighed. “All of you really have to thank the White Emperor for being able to return safely from the Great Abyss Land. Without the White Emperor’s token, even a supreme being wouldn’t be able to easily leave that place.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou asked curiously, “If those at the Great Abyss Land are so powerful, why are they willing to serve the Great Void?”

“They’re just using each other. If the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction were destroyed, the Great Void would suffer as well. Those at the Great Abyss Land and the other Pillars of Destruction had reached an agreement with the humans of the Great Void. The Great Void made a huge concession and allowed them to guard the Pillars of Destruction. That aside, I’m not surprised there’s sunlight at the Great Abyss Land,” Duanmu Dian said.

“With the Great Void’s strength, they can occupy and guard the Pillars of Destruction themselves. Why didn’t they do that?” Lu Zhou asked again.

“In fact, the Great Void has been working on this for a long time. Yan Mohui and I are part of the plan to replace those at the pillars. However, it’s not easy to replace everyone. For example, Meng Zhang and the Feather tribe’s Emperor Yu are all deities,” Duanmu Dian said.

Everyone sighed upon hearing this. They thought they were very powerful in the past, but when they finally left the well, they realized how vast the world was.

There were too many experts in the long river of time. Some experts had been buried, and some still existed from ancient times. There were those with immortality like Princess Mulberry, Lord Zhennan, and the zombie kings. However, could that truly be considered as having eternal life? Lu Zhou looked at Duanmu Dian and asked, “Do you plan to stay in Dunzhang forever?”

Duanmu Dian was stunned. He did not know how to answer this question. He did not think there was anyone, including those in the Great Abyss Land, capable of shaking the position of the Great Void.

“You’re now the Chief Great Saint of the Evil Sky Pavilion. If the Evil Sky Pavilion needs you one day, will you step forward?” Lu Zhou asked bluntly.

Everyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion looked at Duanmu Dian and waited for his answer.

Duanmu Dian did not respond directly. Instead, he said with a sigh, “I’m really unlucky to know you. It’s like I owed you for eight lifetimes!”

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed. This was equivalent to acquiescence.

“Do you really intend to cultivate in seclusion at the twin lotus domain?” Duanmu Dian asked.

“They’ve already been recognized by the pillars. I believe that they’ll all become top experts in 1,000 years,” Lu Zhou replied.

“1,000 years.” Duanmu Dian was stunned. “Once the imbalance ends, the Scales of Justice will definitely be able to sense you.” Lu Zhou calmly said, “What will come will come.”

“Forget it. Both of us had fought side by side for many years and faced many life-or-death situations together. This is just another one of those situations. Let me make myself clear first. I won’t do something that requires me to sacrifice my life!” Duanmu Dian said.

Everyone laughed again.

“Do I look like such a stupid person to you?” Lu Zhou asked.

.

“Hmm, I have no comment,” Duanmu Dian said with a smile. Then, as though he recalled something, he asked, “Oh, right. Old Lu, how did you have such a relationship with the White Emperor? He’s not an ordinary person.”

so

Lu Zhou was also puzzled by this matter. After seeing the white-clad cultivators at Zuo’e’s Pillar of Destruction, he could tell the White Emperor was not simple. What could such a person want from him? After thinking about it, he concluded the White Emperor must have thoughts about his talented disciples and wanted them for his own use. It was just like how Lan Xihe had taken a liking to Ye Tianxin. However, how did the White Emperor know so much about the Evil Sky Pavilion’s situation? The White Emperor even accurately predicted their routes and sent people to wait for them at Zuo’e’s Pillar of Destruction.

In the end, Lu Zhou said, “No matter what his purpose is, those who have been recognized by the pillars have to be careful in the future. If any of you meet unfamiliar experts, try to avoid them as much as you can. Don’t easily trust them.”

“Understood.” All of Lu Zhou’s disciples bowed.

Three days later.

At the Evil Sky Pavilion.

There were not many changes in Golden Court Mountain. The barrier was still there, the trees were lush, and the scenery at the back of the mountain was pleasant. The Reflection Cave and the training ground were the same as well.

Lu Zhou did not go to the twin lotus domain immediately and decided to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion first. Since Duanmu Dian’s identity was special, Duanmu Dian continued staying at Dunzhang.

Looking at the spotless ground, the main hall, the east, south, west, and north pavilions, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion grew emotional. Memories of the past appeared in their minds as they looked around.

“Master, it seems like someone often comes to clean the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Mingshi Yin said after he and Zhu Honggong returned from walking one round around the Evil Sky Pavilion.

“Is it Sixth Senior Sister’s people?” Little Yuan’er asked.

“It’s possible, but I’m not certain,” Ye Tianxin said.

Zhu Honggong said, “Master’s name has long been famous in Great Yan. I can’t even finish counting his admirers. It’s not strange that there are people who came to clean the palace

up.”

As soon as Zhu Honggong’s voice fell, a young cultivator rushed over from the mountainside.

“Who dares trespass into the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Yu Zhenghai asked in a booming voice.

The young cultivator landed in front of everyone and sized everyone up before he asked, “May I ask if senior is Pavilion Master Lu of the Evil Sky Pavilion?”

Lu Zhou looked at the young cultivator and asked, “Why are you looking for me?” Without saying anything, the young cultivator fell to his knees. Then, he said with tears streaming down his face, “Pavilion Master Lu, you’re finally here! I finally managed to see

you!”

Everyone was extremely puzzled. However, no one said anything. Lu Zhou frowned and said, “Speak.”

The young cultivator cried for a moment before he said, “Pavilion Master Lu, don’t you recognize me?”

Lu Zhou shook his head. He had many people in his life. It was impossible for him to remember every single person he had met.

“It’s me! The cultivator next to Saint Chen,” the young cultivator said.

“It’s you?” Lu Zhou had a slight impression of the young cultivator now. When he met Chen Fu, there was indeed a young cultivator next to Cheng Fu. However, at that time, he did not pay attention to the young cultivator.

The young cultivator said, “I’ve been waiting here for you for 30 years! Saint Chen ordered me to look for you. His last wish is to meet you one more time.”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The young child then kowtowed heavily three times as he said, “Please fulfill Saint Chen’s wish, Pavilion Master Lu!”

“A Great Saint has at least 160,000 years of life. Although Chen Fu was born before the land split, his life shouldn’t end so fast. I’ve only been away for 100 years or so. What happened?” Lu Zhou asked. He thought it was very strange. The young cultivator wiped the tears off his face. Then, he raised his hand and pointed at the sky and said, “G-Great… Great Void!”

“The Great Void again?” Yu Zhenghai scoffed coldly. His impression of the Great Void had dropped rock bottom by now.

Lu Zhou looked at the blood on the young cultivator’s forehead and said, “Chen Fu and I can be considered acquaintances. Since something has happened to him, I naturally won’t sit idly by.”

The young cultivator kowtowed again and said, “Thank you, Pavilion Master Lu! Thank you, Pavilion Master!”

“Rise to your feet.”

Lu Zhou clasped his hands on his back and looked at the Evil Sky Pavilion. Initially, he planned to go to the twin lotus domain later, but it seemed like he would have to go ahead of time.

“Although I planned to rest at the Evil Sky Pavilion for a few days, with this, I think we should set off immediately.”

Everyone bowed. “As you command, Pavilion Master.”

The jade green lotus domain was independent of the other seven domains. After reaching an agreement with the Great Void, they no longer participated in the affairs of the world/

If something happened to Chen Fu, it would mean the balance was over.

Half a day later.

At the Autumn Dew Mountain in Luoyang of Great Han.

Hua Yin, Chen Fu’s eldest disciple, paced back and forth outside like an ant on a hot pan.

“Eldest Senior Brother, how many years has it been? Why won’t master see us? We’re his disciples. Even we can’t see him?” Liang Yufeng, Chen Fu’s second disciple, asked.

Hua Yin said, “Master has said that no one’s allowed to disturb his closed-door cultivation.”

“Rumors have spread all over the city. They’re saying the master is… old and that he’s…”

“Shut up! Master is still alive. Don’t talk nonsense!” Hua Yin said reproachfully.

“I… I don’t believe the rumors, but I want to meet master,” Liang Yufeng said.

At this moment, a green-clad disciple ran in from outside. He bowed and said, “Our distinguished guests have arrived.”

“Distinguished guests?” The green-clad disciple replied, “Pavilion Master Lu of the Evil Sky Pavilion has arrived.”

Hua Yin frowned slightly.

‘What a coincidence!’ Yun Tongxiao, who had fourth with Lu Zhou once, smiled.

“Send him away,” Zhang Xiaoruo, Chen Fu’s fifth disciple, said. The green-clad disciple looked troubled as he said, “Saint Chen’s attendant brought him here.”

“Outrageous! How dare an attendant interfere in the affairs of Autumn Dew Mountain when he should be serving tea and water?!” Zhang Xiaoruo said angrily.

Hua Yin waved his hand and said, “Old Fifth, this man isn’t to be underestimated. Master didn’t gain any advantage when sparring with him back then. Your attitude will only offend him.”

Liang Yunfeng and Yun Tongxiao recalled Lu Zhou’s exquisite attacks back then and nodded in agreement.

“That person’s cultivation is indeed mysterious and unpredictable…”

Hua Yin thought about it for a moment before he said, “We have to think of a better excuse to get rid of them.”

Everyone nodded.

At this time, a dignified and slightly displeased voice rang from outside.

“Chen Fu personally invited me here as a guest, but you dare to send me away?”
