Chapter 1280: Second Birth Trial
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Rise to your feet.” Lu Zhou said before he raised his head to look up. Although he had night vision, the range of his vision was limited so he could not see anything. There was a niggling feeling that there was something strange about the Pillar of Destruction, but he could not figure out what it was.
“It’s not good to stay here for too long,” Lu Zhou finally said before he walked out.
Everyone, except Zhao Yu, turned around to leave.
Zhao Yu looked at the Great Void Seed with eyes brimming with reluctance. He was truly reluctant to leave.
At this time, Mingshi Yin looked back and asked, “Don’t tell me you want to steal it?”
Zhao Yu turned around and smiled sheepishly. Then, he spread his arms and said with a helpless expression, “I really want to, but the problem is I don’t have the ability to do so.”
How could Zhao Yu or his heavily-injured men enter the blue sphere when even Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong failed to do so?
Mingshi Yin took another look at the Great Void Seed. A question appeared in his mind: did this exist from the time the world was created or was it man-made? If it existed since the beginning of time, where did the other Great Void Seeds go? The entire thing was too fantastical. If it were man-made, who had the capability to create the ten Pillars of Destruction and what was the person’s objective?
“Brother?” Zhao Yu called out as he waved his hand in front of Mingshi Yin.
Mingshi Yin smacked his forehead. Such questions should be left to his Seventh Junior Brother. He was not good at ruminating over these kinds of questions so it was best not to trouble himself.
“Don’t come so close to me,” Mingshi Yin said to Zhao Yu before he finally left.
Zhao Yu hurried after him and asked, “Brother, can I ask you a question? Why are you so hostile toward me? We’ve never met before, and I don’t think I’ve offended you after we met.”
“I just dislike you,” Mingshi Yin replied.
“That’s it?”
“That’s it.”
“Why? How am I an eyesore to you? Tell me, and I’ll change.”
“…”
After everyone walked out of the Pillar of Destruction, they looked at the sky hidden by dark clouds.
The Pillar of Destruction stood as tall and majestically as before.
Lu Wu had been waiting outside. When it saw the blue crystals in Lu Zhou’s hand, it asked, “Did you get the treasure?”
“Do you have any questions?” Lu Zhou asked as he placed his hands on his back.
“No,” Lu Wu replied.
At this moment, Lu Zhou said, “The Great Void Seed is still young and isn’t worth harvesting. Who knows when it matures 30,000 years later, the fated person will obtain it…”
“The Pavilion Master is wise.”
Everyone nodded.
“There is no right or wrong.” Lu Wu proudly raised its head and said in a low voice, “When rats eat human food, humans abhor them and stomp them to death. When humans steal honey from the bees, they praise the bees for being hardworking. Right and wrong have always been established by those in power.”
“…”
Everyone looked at Lu Wu with complex expressions. How could a fierce beast have such profound feelings and thoughts?
After Lu Wu finished speaking, it turned around and adjusted its position. “I’ll bring all of you away and find a quiet place. Earlier, the Pillar of Destructions shook. If the people from the Great Void come, none of us will be able to leave this place.”
Everyone rushed toward Lu Wu’s back.
On the other hand, upon hearing Lu Wu’s words, a shocking thought appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind: he wanted to meet the people from the Great Void. However, after a moment, he recalled he was not strong enough yet, and he did not have many trump cards so he dismissed the thought.
With that, Lu Wu carried everyone and flew east.
…
A few hours after the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion left.
Two figures emerged from the black fog in the west, flying at top speed. In just a blink of an eye, they landed by the Pillar of Destruction.
The duo exchanged a look before they searched their surroundings; one on the left and the other on the right.
After fifteen minutes, the duo met up.
“We’re too late.”
“There are traces of the battle between Venerable Masters. I can sense their energies and the power of the Dao.”
“Tian Wu and Lord Zhennan are dead.”
“All the treasures nearby have been looted.”
“Humans are as greedy as ever.”
The duo shook their heads. They flashed again and appeared in the Pillar of Destruction. They looked at the blue sphere and sensed the changes in the air before they turned to look at the Great Void Seed.
“Why is there an energy resonance when it has yet to mature?”
“There are no signs of tampering or damage either. Everything is as it should be.”
The duo carefully studied their surroundings.
At this time, one of them took off his white hood and mask before he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, “There were many people here. I can smell their auras, and some of them are chaotic. How strange…”
He moved forward as he sniffed. When he arrived before the blue sphere…
Buzz!
The blue sphere repelled him. He shook his head, puzzled. “I can’t figure it out…”
“These people were able to kill Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu so their cultivation bases must be profound. The imbalance has grown worse… Something must have happened to the green lotus domain’s Venerable Masters…”
“We need to be sure before we report back to the temple.”
“The higher-ups have ordered that no one is to interfere with the imbalance. We’re only here to check on the Pillar of Destruction and the Great Void Seed. The seed is intact. I’m afraid the higher-ups won’t interfere.”
The duo stood with their hands on their backs as they looked at the Great Void Seed that glowed with a blue light. Their eyes flashed briefly.
“Let’s go.”
With a flash, the duo seemed to disappear into thin air.
…
Meanwhile, Lu Wu led the group to a quiet place.
There were not many fierce beasts around due to the imbalance.
Lu Wu had used up a lot of its energy during the battle so it quickly found a place before it lay down to recuperate.
Similar to before, Lu Zhou found a place before he brought the Pillar of Impermanence out.
Soon after, Zhao Yu bade farewell to them to return to the green lotus domain.
Lu Zhou and the others watched him leave.
“Master, he’s so suspicious. Why don’t we capture him and torture him for information?” Mingshi Yin asked.
“Do you hate him very much?”
“I hate a lot of people, and he’s one of them,” Mingshi Yin replied honestly.
“He’s not a malicious person. Perhaps, there’s use for him in the future,” Lu Zhou said. Following that, he looked at everyone and said, “Go and rest or cultivate. I’ll increase the speed of the pillar like before.”
“Understood.”
Everyone bowed before they left.
After everyone left, Lu Zhou brought out the Divine Soul Pearl. This was the greatest gain from the battle.
The Divine Soul Pearl was equivalent to a Great Birth Chart. Moreover, he would be able to directly pass the second Birth Trial. To a cultivator, this was a peerless treasure.
To Lu Zhou who had activated 11 Birth Charts, the Divine Soul Pearl was even more valuable to him.
Lu Zhou was not in a hurry to use the Divine Soul Pearl. Instead, he activated the Purple Glaze Ceramic and utilized the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence to recover his divine power.
…
Half a day later.
After Lu Zhou recovered some of his divine power, he made sure his condition was stable before he finally manifested his Birth Palace.
The Birth Charts’ locations, their names, and uses appeared in his mind.
The Divine Soul Pearl was like a fusion of all Birth Charts. Hence, it was suitable for most locations. However, to avoid future difficulties, Lu Zhou chose a remote location on the Birth Palace: the Pearl Goes Out to Sea.
Then, he placed the Divine Soul Pearl in the location he had chosen.

A crisp sound rang out as the Divine Soul Pearl smoothly sank into the Birth Palace..
