Chapter 1440: Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Dongshan stared blankly at Zhao Yue who had just stepped into the barrier. Confusion was written all over his face. He suddenly felt like the barrier was fake or that anyone could enter it. Perhaps, there was no such thing as obtaining recognition from the Pillars of Destruction. He thought he was

hallucinating so he rubbed his eyes before he took a look again.

Zhao Yue was in disbelief as well. She stepped out before stepping into the barrier again.

Jiang Dongshan walked over, driven by instinct. As soon as he touched the barrier, electric currents shocked him. He could not enter. The barrier was not fake.

At this moment, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion congratulated Zhao Yue one after another.

“Congratulations, junior sister.”

“Congratulations, senior sister.”

“Congratulations, Miss Fifth.”

Zhao Yue’s expression was one of joy as she thanked the people around her. Similar to Zhu Honggong, there was not much movement when she gained recognition from the Pillar of Destruction. Her Great Void Seed did not appear. She could only faintly see the energy in the barrier shrouding her.

Lu Zhou nodded slightly. Perhaps, with more Great Void Seeds being activated, the movement was no longer as great. As expected, he saw the Great Void seedling’s energy in the barrier change. He was the only one who noticed this. After activating the power of sight, he saw the seedling’s energy entering

Zhao Yue’s body. In her Dantian’s sea of Qi, the Great Void Seed was as bright as a full moon, absorbing the energy in the barrier and circulating through her Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

“The seed is activated…”

Lu Zhou looked at his disciples. The Great Void Seeds had been activated shone bright like the moon, but their colors were slightly different. He wondered if it indicated the difference in quality?

Looking at the endless supply of energy in the barrier, Lu Zhou sighed. Humans were born with emotions and desires. They were born with a clear distinction between love and hate, right and wrong, black and white, and friend and foes. What was the point of the Pillars of Destruction?

Time passed very quickly.

‘When Zhao Yue walked out of the barrier, Lu Zhou returned to his senses as well. He looked up and saw there was no movement. Then, he said, “Let’s go.”

Lu Zhou turned around and left.

The others hurriedly followed him.

The desert was really not suitable for cultivation and living for a long time. Nonetheless, after leaving Shanyan’s Pillar of Destruction, they spent another three days and only left after Zhao Hongfu finished constructing the runic passage.

It took them two weeks when they finally found an oasis and settled down to rest.

Everyone sat down and rested.

On the other hand, Kong Wen pointed at the map and said, “We’ve gone to all of the Pillars of Destruction in the outer area. There are still six more pillars left; five in the inner area, and the final one in the core area, the Great Offering Abyss. The nearest pillar in the inner area is at Zhixu. To go to Zhixu,

we need to return to Yu Zhong.”

Upon hearing this, Mingshi Yin asked, “We need to return to Yu Zhong?”

“Yes.” Kong Wen nodded.

“We’re running back and forth, going around in circles. How long will it take until we visit all ten Pillars of Destruction?” Mingshi Yin asked.

If they split up, they would save a lot of time, but it would be very dangerous. Moreover, they did not know who would obtain the recognition of which Pillar of Destruction. The best way was still what they were currently doing, It was best that they traveled together to gain the recognition from the Pillars

of Destruction.

At this time, Jiang Dongshan walked over and asked, “Senior, don’t tell me you’re going to go to every pillar?”

“Watch your words.” Mingshi Yin glared at him.

Jiang Dongshan revealed an embarrassed expression before he said, “What I mean is that the inner area is very dangerous. The pillars there are even more dangerous. The Saints from the Great Void and the zombie kings aren’t to be trifled with.”

Lu Zhou looked at Jiang Dongshan and asked, “Do you know a lot about the Pillars of Destruction?”

“Just a little,” Jiang Dongshan replied.

“Tm going to the pillars in the inner area. Do you have any advice?” Lu Zhou asked.

“My advice is that it’s best not to go there,” Jiang Dongshan said, “I know your cultivation is profound and that you’re a Great Venerable Master. However, only Saints can survive in the inner area.”

Mingshi Yin shook his head and said, “Fan Zhong, a Venerable Master from the green lotus domain, crossed the Unknown Land and even passed by the core area.”

Jiang Dongshan said, “He was just very lucky. Senior, you already have two disciples who have been recognized by the Pillars of Destruction; their potential is limitless. Even if they can’t become supreme beings, it won’t be a problem for them to become Saints or Great Dao Saints. At that time, it won’t be

too late to go to the inner area.”

“Tm asking for a good strategy to approach the Pillars of Destruction. I’m not asking you to dissuade me,” Lu Zhou said.

Jiang Dongshan:

Zhu Honggong also felt that Jiang Dongshan was talking nonsense so he said, “If it’s dangerous, everyone knows how to escape. We don’t need you to teach us.”

Jiang Dongshan said awkwardly, “If you insist on going, then I have a request.”

“speak.”

“Ican take you there through a runic passage, but the Dark Prince is mine,” Jiang Dongshan said.

“The Dark Prince?”

Jiang Dongshan explained, “The Dark Prince’s name is Wang Hai. He’s one of the ten zombie kings.”

Lu Zhou asked suspiciously, “Why do you want a zombie king?”

The Evil Sky Pavilion had no interest in such things and was even a little disgusted.

Jiang Dongshan sighed. “The Unknown Land is too dangerous. I just want to have a way to save my life at the critical moment.”

Seeing the suspicion and confusion on everyone’s faces, Jiang Dongshan continued to say, “I have a way to control the zombie king, Senior, you don’t have to worry about it. I’ll deal with the Dark Prince, and you can deal with the fierce beasts. If you agree, I’l lead you there.”

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou, waiting for his decision.

There was a moment of silence before Lu Zhou finally glanced at Jiang Dongshan and said, “Very well.”

Jiang Dongshan nodded and gritted his teeth before he said, “Then I’ll risk my life to accompany everyone to the end. I know of a runic passage that leads straight to Zhixu.”

Mingshi Yin flashed forward and grabbed Jiang Dongshan’s collar as he said, “Damn it! Why didn’t you say earlier that you know of such a thing?”

Jiang Dongshan:

Zhu Honggong came to Mingshi Yin’s side. Then, he cleared his throat and nudged Mingshi Yin with his elbow before he said in a low voice to Mingshi Yin, “He’s a Venerable Master.”

Mingshi Yin let go of his grip and quickly patted the dust off Jiang Dongshan’s robe as he said, “Brother, this is the way we express friendship!”

Jiang Dongshan gave a hollow laugh before he said, “It’s alright, it’s alright. Can you please move aside?”

“As soon as I saw this brother, I really wanted to befriend him. Can we have a chat?” Jiang Dongshan said with a smile as he walked past Mingshi Yin toward Zhu Honggong.

Zhu Honggong shuddered and took a step back. “Go away.”

Jiang Dongshan shook his head helplessly. Then, he turned around and walked toward Zhao Yue. He greeted her and said, “May I ask how I should address you, miss?”

“Tunderstand now! You’re a snob. You only want to get close to those who’ve been recognized by the Pillars of Destruction,” Kong Wen said directly.

Jiang Dongshan revealed an awkward and embarrassed expression on his face.

Kong Wen chuckled and said, “Let me tell you a secret. Mr. Fourth has also been recognized by the Pillar of Destruction.”

“Mr. Fourth?”

Jiang Dongshan turned around and saw Mingshi Yin staring at him with a cunning smile and a hint of a disapproving expression on his face.

Kong Wen was going to continue bragging when Lu Zhou rose to his feet and waved his hand as he said, “Alright, lead the way.”

Jiang Dongshan quickly bowed. “Yes.”

After a short rest, Jiang Dongshan led the others southeast.

After traveling for about 300 miles, they landed in a wetland. A runic passage was hidden in the wetland.

“Wow, this runic passage is hidden so deeply?” Ming Shiyin asked.

Jiang Dongshan explained, “After the land just split, when the Great Void had just disappeared and the nine domains have yet to form, humans lived in the Unknown Land when it was still inhabitable. Hence, there are many formations and runic passages that are left behind.”

As Jiang Dongshan spoke, he cleared the rubbish in and around the runic passage.

Zhao Hongfu glanced at it and said, “It can only transport ten people at a time. This means we’ll have to travel in three groups.”

Jiang Dongshan looked at Zhao Hongfu in surprise. “You know about runic passages?”

“Just a little.”

Lu Zhou said, “Let’s go.”

Fortunately, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s members were experts at the Thousand Realms Whirling stage. They were familiar with runic passages and did not have any problem with it.

After three rounds of teleportation, everyone finally arrived at Zhixu.

They stood near a cliff, and the scene before their eyes shocked them.

In front of the cliff were all kinds of flying beasts and fierce beasts. There were goshawks, Luans, giant snakes, winged horses, and many other beasts.

In the distance where the beasts were gathered, they saw countless vines climbing up to the sky, covering the Pillar of Destruction.
