Chapter 1432: Will the Sky Fall?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Wu, who had a sharp hearing, turned his head, looking slightly disapprovingly. It bent down and looked into the distance, muttering, “What’s there to make a fuss about?”
For those who knew the truth, indeed there was nothing to make a fuss about. However, most of the people in the Evil Sky Pavilion were unaware that each of Lu Zhou’s ten disciples had a Great Void Seed.
When Duanmu Sheng was brought away by Lu Wu, only Lan Xihe, Ning Wanqing, and few others knew about Duanmu Sheng’s Great Void Seed. Hence, the others who were not in the know were naturally surprised when they saw the Great Void Seed. Not only were they in the Pillar of Destruction and in front of the yet-to-mature Great Void Seed, but there was a fully matured Great Void Seed as well!
Everyone looked at Duanmu Sheng.
Swoosh!
The purple dragons on Duanmu Sheng’s arms flew out and circled him.
“The corrosive energy!”
The dense Great Void energy forced the corrosive energy out. A cloud of dark and white mist swirled around him as well, like Yin and Yang. Then, the corrosive energy, Lu Wu’s inner qi, and the Great Void energy fused.
At this time, Duanmu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes. He inhaled deeply and surveyed his surroundings. When he saw the concerned eyes staring at him, he sobered up immediately. He looked down and saw he was floating in the air before he asked, “W-what’s wrong with me?”
Lu Zhou frowned and said, “Impudent! Do you feel very proud that you have the courage to die?”
“I… I…” Duanmu Sheng stammered. His mind was blank.
Lu Zhou continued to reprimand Duanmu Sheng, “If you’ll only obtain the so-called recognition from the Pillar of Apocalypse through your death, I’d rather not have the recognition.”
Duanmu Sheng said, “I know I’m wrong. I was rash, but I couldn’t help it…”
Everyone looked at each other. ‘This excuse works as well?’
At this moment, a figure flashed to the top, looking down at Duanmu Sheng who was floating in the blue barrier.
Everyone looked up. They instinctively took a few steps back as though they were facing a great enemy.
Lu Zhou raised his head as well. “Princess Mulberry?”
Princess Mulberry’s eyes were filled with surprise as she said, “He actually obtained recognition from the Pillar of Destruction, and there’s also the Great Void Seed.”
“Do you have any questions?” Lu Zhou asked. He was on guard at this moment. If she had any covetous thoughts, there would definitely be a bloody battle.
“I’m just surprised that the Great Void Seed in his body. He looks simple-minded and is blindly courageous…” Princess Mulberry muttered, seemingly unable to understand.
It was fine for Lu Zhou to criticize his disciples, but it was rather unpleasant to the ears when someone else was doing the criticizing.
Lu Zhou asked in a deep voice, “What does it have to do with you anyway?”
Princess Mulberry shook her head. “Nothing. It doesn’t matter.”
“Then why are you here?” Lu Zhou asked.
“More than 300 years ago, a very wretched person used an incredibly powerful concealment technique to sneak into the Pillar of Destruction to steal the Great Void Seed. I thought he might be that person.” Princess Mulberry said.
“...”
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. ‘Is she talking about me?’
The scene of the dark fog in the sky as lotus cultivators fought appeared in his mind again.
Princess Mulberry shook her head and said, “But it doesn’t look like him at all…”
“You’ve seen the person who stole the Great Void Seed?” Lu Zhou asked.
Princess Mulberry replied, “I’ve only seen him once. At that time, I was watching the boring humans fight with the Great Void. They almost destroyed my mulberry time. While everyone was fighting, that wretched person used some unprecedented and unheard-of concealment technique. He seemed to know most people would not dare to approach the ring-shaped lake so he boldly walked past the lake. His hair was white, and he looked rather unkempt.”
Zhu Honggong raised his head and said, “In any case, my Third Senior Brother isn’t the one who stole the Great Void Seed. Our Evil Sky Pavilion doesn’t associate with those petty thieves, let alone commit such a despicable act! Bah!”
Lu Zhou: “???”
Princess Mulberry said, “Perhaps, it’s fate that the Great Void Seed is with him.”
Princess Mulberry continued to watch Duanmu Sheng. She saw the three fusing energies that were continually surging into his Dantian’s sea of Qi. Following that, she could sense the Great Void energy in his body had intensified.
When Duanmu Sheng descended to the ground, his injuries were already healed.
Lu Zhou no longer paid attention to Duanmu Sheng. Instead, he asked, “Since you witnessed the theft of the Great Void Seed back then, why didn’t you take it for yourself?”
“Why didn’t you take it for yourself?” Princess Mulberry retorted.
Lu Zhou was quite surprised by her line of thoughts. He asked, “Those with Great Void Seeds will definitely become supreme beings. Don’t you have any covetous thoughts?”
“Me?” Princess Mulberry spread her arms as her long dress fluttered. A dejected expression appeared on her face as she said, “I’m not human after all.”
Then, she suddenly added, “Don’t ask me any more questions. Otherwise, I’ll get angry.”
“...”
Clearly, these questions touched on her personal secrets.
After Duanmu Sheng sensed the changes in his body, he lifted his hand, and the Overlord Spear shot through the barrier into his hands.
Zhu Honggong asked enviously, “Third Senior Brother, how do you feel?”
“I feel okay. I’m only a little stronger,” Duanmu Sheng said as he brandished the Overlord Spear.
“I don’t think so,” Princess Mulberry said as she shook her head, “With the recognition from the Pillar of Recognition, your Birth Palace will expand greatly. You’ll know once you have a look at it.”
“Birth Palace?” Duanmu Sheng manifested his lotus.
Everyone looked over.
Duanmu Sheng’s lotus emitted a faint corrosive energy. His Birth Palace had truly expanded greatly.
“It expanded to the limit! It can now accommodate all 36 Birth Charts!” Lu Li exclaimed.
“I see. The rumor is true. Those who have the Great Void Seeds will become supreme beings.”
Mingshi Yin naturally knew this a long time ago. When he saw everyone’s expressions, he shook his head silently, feeling bored.
Under normal circumstances, the number of Birth Charts one could activate depended on one’s talent. The Birth Palace would determine how many Birth Charts one could activate. If one’s Birth Palace did not expand, one would know then one had reached the limit.
Now that the Birth Palace had expanded completely to fit 36 Birth Charts, all that was left to do was to accumulate life hearts and to activate Birth Charts.
“Congratulations, Mr. Third!”
Everyone congratulated Duanmu Sheng.
Duanmu Sheng was ecstatic. His years of hard work had not been in vain. He had always been lacking in talent but worked hard. He did not expect that his biggest weakness would be made up for.
Lu Zhou nodded his head in satisfaction. He walked over and extended his hand toward the barrier.
Everyone was shocked and instinctively took a few steps back.
Princess Mulberry frowned and said, “Do you want to die?”
Lu Zhou imbued his hand with the divine power, only a buzzing noise rang in the air. Following that, he easily stepped into the barrier.
“Pavilion Master?!”
“Master?”
After entering the barrier, he tested it with the divine power. The result was the same as the one in Yu Zhong. In other words, the divine power could break the inner barrier of the Pillars of Light.
Princess Mulberry: “???”
Lu Zhou walked next to the seedling and looked it up and down before he bent down and collected the soil.
At this time, Princess Mulberry flashed to the front of the barrier. When she lifted her leg to step inside, the barrier mercilessly sent her flying back.
Bang!
Princess Mulberry almost crashed against the inner wall.
Everyone was shocked that Princess Mulberry was sent flying the barrier.
“Don’t touch it!” Princess Mulberry said.
Lu Zhou ignored her and dug out a piece of soil. Once it turned into a blue crystal, he said, “Zhou Jifeng is the first to join the Evil Sky Pavilion. He’s hardworking and loyal so he deserves to be rewarded. Take it.”
Lu Zhou tossed the blue crystal out.
Zhou Jifeng could not suppress his excitement at all. He immediately fell to his knees and said, “Thank you for your praise, Pavilion Master! I’ll continue to do my best for the Evil Sky Pavilion!”
Whoosh!
When the blue crystal flew out of the barrier, Princess Mulberry flashed in front of Zhou Jifeng and caught it. Then, she said, “I said don’t touch it!”
Everyone looked at Princess Mulberry vigilantly.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
The harmless-looking Princess Mulberry was really unpredictable and unstable,
Lu Zhou asked in a deep voice, “What are you doing?”
Princess Mulberry said, “You can’t touch the Great Void soil!”
“Why not?”
“If the soil is loose, the Pillar of Destruction will collapse!” Princess Mulberry said.
Lu Zhou asked back, “So what if it collapses?”
“You!” Princess Mulberry was a little angry, but she suppressed her anger and said, “In any case, no one can take the soil away.”
Lu Zhou straightened his back before he looked at Princess Mulberry and said, “I’ve been tolerant of you time and time again…”
“Hm?” Princess Mulberry frowned slightly when she sensed the change in Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou moved his hand, shattering a Thunderblast Card.
Lu Zhou’s palm moved forward, and a thunder energy card was shattered.
“You really don’t know what’s good for you.”
The palm seal shot out of the barrier. The script for ‘Lightning’ in the middle of the palm seal was dazzling.
Princess Mulberry was slightly stunned. She flashed back, thinking she could avoid the attack.
When the palm seal arrived in front of her, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly struck from the sky.
Boom!
Princess Mulberry’s circular protective energy was shattered immediately, and she was sent flying back as expected.
Everyone exclaimed in shock.
Princess Mulberry was one of the ten zombie kings, after all. Not only that, but she was even ranked third among the ten. However, she was sent flying back with just one move by Lu Zhou. How could they not feel shocked?
“Arrogance is everyone’s weakness, whether they’re the high and mighty gods or ordinary people who walk on the ground like ants. The arrogance of ordinary people is inconsequential, but the arrogance of gods affects the world.” Lu Zhou looked at Princess Mulberry indifferently.
Princess Mulberry stabilized her footing when she arrived near the inner wall. Her pretty face was pale, and her eyes were filled with shock.
“How?” Princess Mulberry looked at her hands, perplexed. It was very difficult for her to understand how she was pushed back. It should have been impossible. She should have been able to dodge the attack; she should not have been suppressed by a Venerable Master.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and extended it out as he said, “I don’t like to repeat myself. Hand the blue crystal over.”
Although Princess Mulberry’s eyes still contained a trace of disbelief, her expression had turned solemn and inscrutable. Then, she said, “You’re from the Great Void.”
“Hm?” Lu Zhou, who had extended his arm out, suddenly lifted it and pushed it out.
Another palm seal swiftly shot. It looked ordinary, but it seemed to carry the might of the netherworld.
Perhaps, it was due to the psychological mark left in their minds from Lu Zhou’s repeated use of this move, the Evil Sky Pavilion’s members all thought that the move was invincible and unstoppable.
Princess Mulberry’s dress fluttered as she left afterimages in the air.
The Thunderblast palm seal stopped quietly in the air.
Princess Mulberry continued to flash around. However, as soon as she stopped, the palm seal slapped over in her direction.
Boom!
Just like before, Princess Mulberry was sent flying again. This time, her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she appeared disheveled. When she was about to hit the inner wall, the white crane flew over and caught her. It swayed a few times before it managed to stabilize itself.
Princess Mulberry’s eyes were filled with disbelief. Without much thought, she tossed the blue crystal out. “Here!”
After catching the blue crystal, Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. He raised his head and said, “Although you’re the daughter of the Red Emperor, it doesn’t mean you’re superior to me. There are times when you should just watch. Don’t interfere with things that you shouldn’t interfere with.”
Princess Mulberry felt suffocated by the anger that rose in her chest. She really wanted to vent her anger, but she was helpless. She said, “The sky is going to collapse, and countless lives will be ruined. The consequences…”
Lu Zhou interjected, “If the sky falls, I’ll take care of it. I’ll bear the consequences.”
“...”
Princess Mulberry was rendered speechless by these words. After a long silence, she asked, “Do you think you’ll be able to take care of it? Countless Saints have died. Chi Songzi died; the Unholy One died. I… Even I died! So many people died!”
“This has been the way since time immemorial. The wheels of destiny have begun to turn, and we can’t stop it even if the same mistakes are made.”
Princess Mulberry trembled slightly as scenes after scenes appeared in her mind.
It had been 100,000 years. Every day was the same, and it was boring. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, it could not compare to 100,000 years ago. Everything in her present was dead, and everything in her past was alive.
After a moment of silence, Princess Mulberry sighed and said, “Perhaps, you’re right. If we can restore the peace and prosperity of the past, so what if the sky collapses? What’s there to be afraid of even if the mulberry tree is gone?”
Then, with a swish of her dress, she sat down and patted the white crane. With that, she flew out of the Pillar of Destruction to the ring-shaped lake.
…
A gentle breeze blew at the blooming mulberry tree as spots of light filled the sky.
The lake water splashed up, forming a conical ice barrier that pierced the black fog in the sky.
Princess Mulberry appeared in the conical ice barrier and looked up at the sky.
…
Lu Zhou tossed the blue crystal to Zhou Jifeng.
Zhou Jifeng was overjoyed and retreated to the side excitedly.
Lu Zhou said again, “Pan Zhong, you were also one of the earliest to join the Evil Sky Pavilion. You’re diligent and loyal so you deserve to be rewarded.”
Lu Zhou grabbed a piece of soil and tossed it out when it turned into a blue crystal.
Pan Zhong kneeled down, overjoyed, as he said, “I… The elders, guardians, and envoys are more qualified than I am. How can I…”
“Take it,” Lu Zhou interjected.
Pan Zhong caught the blue crystal and said, “Thank you, Pavilion Master. I’m really unworthy of this favor!”
Lu Zhou grabbed another four pieces of soil as he said, “The four elders joined the Evil Sky Pavilion when the Evil Sky Pavilion needed them most. They’ve made great contributions so they should be rewarded. Take these!”
Four blue crystals flew out.
“Thank you, Pavilion Master.”
“Thank you, elder brother!”
The four elders were very honest with their feelings. They caught the blue crystals with happy expressions on their faces and excitement bursting forth from their hearts.
Crash!
A huge rock fell from above at this moment.
Everyone retreated.
Boom!
It crashed against the barrier. It broke into pieces when it crashed against the barrier, and they flew out in all directions.
Everyone looked up worriedly.
Would the Pillar of Destruction really collapse because of the loosening of the soil or the lack of soil?
