My Disciples Are All Villains-Chapter 1748 - Xuanyi Palace’s Great Calamity

Fortunately, Lu Zhou still had many Reversal Cards. If he was not confident, he would not have dared to upgrade his blue avatar so easily.

His blue avatar now had 33 Birth Charts. With this, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds again. The blue lotus now radiated the divine Dao power as well. The divine Dao power meant grasping the laws, and the law meant power.

The energy in his Dantian’s sea of Qi was as vast as the ocean now, far surpassing what it was in the past.

Although his blue avatar only had 33 Birth Charts, with its divine Dao power, it had far surpassed the golden avatar.

“I’m still three Birth Charts away from transforming it into a supreme being’s avatar… Who should I look for for the remaining divine soul pearls or life hearts?”

The further he went, the higher the quality of the divine soul pearls and life hearts he needed.

Lu Zhou naturally would not easily settle for his final three Birth Charts. At the very least, it had to be the divine soul pearl of a Great Void ancient Saint slayer.

‘The world is vast. Where are those fierce beasts hiding? How am I going to find them?’

Thinking of this, Lu Zhou frowned slightly before he sent a voice transmission.

“Si Wuya.”

Not long after, Si Wuya arrived at the eastern pavilion.

“Master, are you looking for me?”

The door of the eastern pavilion was blown open by a gust of wind.

Lu Zhou flashed and appeared at the entrance of the eastern pavilion in just a blink of an eye. He stood with his hands on his back and said, “I suddenly thought of a problem, and I’m very worried.”

“I’m willing to help you solve your problem, master,” Si Wuya said.

“There are two problems. Previously, you said that the cultivators of the Great Void will invade the nine lotus domains before the sky falls. It’s true, but you’ve neglected one thing: the fierce beasts. There are a large number of fierce beasts in the Unknown Land and the Great Void. Among them, there are many highly intelligent fierce beasts. They won’t sit still and wait for death. The balance agreement between humans and fierce beasts is no longer in effect. This problem is a huge threat to humans.”

Si Wuya’s eyes flashed. He bowed and said, “Fortunately, master reminded me. I kept feeling like I missed something a few days ago. That’s right. There are also the fierce beasts.”

“Do you have a solution as well?” Lu Zhou asked.

“The fierce beasts in the Unknown Land have already begun to wantonly kill humans. Master, you should recall your mounts immediately. As for the solution…” Si Wuya said as his mind spun swiftly, “The fierce beasts on land will be our main problem. We should let the cultivators from the Great Void move to the nine domains as soon as possible. With that humans can form a line of defense…”

Si Wuya paused for a moment before he said, “Humans alone aren’t enough to deal with the fierce beasts. We should a find place for the fierce beasts to live, keep them away from the cities. It’ll be best if we can reestablish the balance agreement with them.”

“Reestablish the agreement? Who can represent the fierce beasts?” Lu Zhou asked.

Si Wuya said, “According to the ancient records on fierce beasts, dragons and some divine beasts from the time of creation are the rulers of the fierce beasts. If they’re alive, perhaps, we can speak to them…”

“The time of creation?”

“That’s right. Beasts that existed from the dawn of time when the world was created,” Si Wuya said.

“Those beasts disappeared 100,000 years ago. How are we going to find them?” Lu Zhou asked.

“The purpose of the Four Divinities of Heaven is to maintain the balance between heaven and earth. In fact, they can also be considered one of the earliest and oldest fierce beasts. They should do. Apart from that, I also know of a fierce beast ruler. Master, perhaps, you can negotiate with it…” Si Wuya said.

“Where?”

“The Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction,” Si Wuya said, “The creature above the Pillar of Destruction there is one of the ancestors of the dragons, the Raindragon.”

Lu Zhou was slightly surprised. “That huge thing there is the Raindragon?”

“I’ve been investigating and tracking its movement in the Great Abyss Land over the years. It’s indeed the Raindragon,” Si Wuya said, “It seems to have an agreement with Emperor Yu so it didn’t leave…”

“I sensed it when I was in the Cloud Domain. It’s not very powerful,” Lu Zhou said.

“The Raindragon is very cunning. It’s deliberately hiding its power,” Si Wuya said.

‘So that’s how it is…’

Si Wuya looked at Lu Zhou and said with a smile, “Master, you should know this better than I do. After all, the tendons of the divine dragon of your robe are from it…”

Lu Zhou: “?”

‘Is there such a coincidence? Why don’t I have any memories of this from the Unholy One?’

“When the Raindragon saw you, it was too late for it to run away. How could it reveal its true form?” Si Wuya said with a smile, “Emperor Yu and the Raindragon both want to protect the Great Abyss Land. Once the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction collapses, conflicts will definitely arise between them. At that time, there’ll be a fierce battle.”

Lu Zhou said expressionlessly, “In that case, I’ll make a trip to the Great Abyss Land when I have the time.”

“Apart from that, we also have to guard against the sea beasts. Master, we’ve all seen the Kun. It should be able to keep the sea beasts under control and prevent them from coming to land…” Si Wuya said.

Lu Zhou sighed. “I’ve never had any thoughts about saving the world. I didn’t expect I’ll have to do these things myself…”

“Perhaps, Ming Xin might go there as well. Just to be safe, master, you should go as well.”

“Alright.” Lu Zhou nodded. He felt like Si Wuya had a point.

The sky was falling, and everyone would be affected no matter what.

“Master, what’s the second problem?” Si Wuya asked.

Lu Zhou replied, “It’s been solved.”

‘Between the Raindragon and the Kun… I should be able to borrow one divine soul pearls at least, right?’

Lu Zhou had originally planned to consult Si Wuya about this, but now, there was no longer any need. There was no more suitable target than those two fierce beasts.

Lu Zhou asked, “Where’s Bai Zhaoju?”

“He has returned to the Lost Kingdom early in the morning. He wanted to bid farewell to you, but the energy fluctuations at the eastern pavilion so we didn’t want to disturb you,” Si Wuya replied.

Lu Zhou nodded before he asked, “What’s the progress of the others comprehending the Great Dao at the upper cores of the Pillar of Destruction?”

“Master, Eldest and Second Senior Brothers are about to comprehend the Great Dao. Eight Junior Brother is still in the ancient ruins and has yet to return. Only Third and Fourth Senior Brother are unaccounted for; there are no updates from them,” Si Wuya replied.

As soon as Si Wuya finished speaking, Lu Zhou sensed movements from a talisman. He flicked his sleeve, igniting the talisman.

A projection of the four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion standing side by side appeared in the air. They all wore worried expressions on their faces.

“Greetings, Pavilion Master.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Xuanyi Palace has been besieged by a large number of cultivators. Emperor Xuanyi has already led a group of Dark Guards to deal with them. Those cultivators are too unreasonable. They’ve surrounded the upper core of Xuanyi Palace, not allowing anyone to come close,” Hua Wudao said.

“The Sacred Temple didn’t do anything?” Lu Zhou was puzzled.

“Emperor Xuanyi has already reported this matter, but there’s no response. It’s very strange,” Hua Wudao said, puzzled as well.

Lu Zhou nodded slightly and sighed. “Ming Xin, ah, Ming Xin, you really know how to create problems for me.” After thinking about it for a moment, he called out, “Old Seventh.”

“Your orders, master?”

“Pack up and follow me to Xuanyi Palace.”

“Understood.”

Si Wuya was overjoyed by Lu Zhou’s words. He had never been so energetic before. Ever since he inherited the Fire Deity’s legacy, his cultivation was no longer the same as before. He quickly returned to the southern pavilion and arranged for people to watch over Princess Yong Ning and his disciple, Li Yunzheng, before he left the Evil Sky Pavilion with Lu Zhou.

…

During the journey, Lu Zhou thought about Zhu Honggong.

Since the Xihe Hall’s upper core had been besieged, the other halls’ upper cores would not have it easy either. If Lan Xihe arrived in a timely manner, perhaps, she would be able to fend off the others.

Lu Zhou recited the mantra for the Heavenly Writing’s power of sight.

Lu Zhou saw Zhu Honggong reclining on a spacious chair, looking very much like he was enjoying himself. His eyes were half-opened as he happily ate a fruit.

Jian Bing, one of the Four Divinities of Heaven and the Cult Master of the Nihilist Congregation, was actually massaging Zhu Honggong’s shoulders and back. He asked with a smile, “Brother, when can you bring me to see the Unholy One?”

“What’s the rush? It’s only been a few days. Your place is quite good. I plan to stay for a few more days…”

“Ah?”

“Why? Do you have any objections?”

“Of course not! Brother, even if you want to stay here for the rest of your life, I won’t have any objections,” Jian Bing replied.

Zhu Honggong said, “If you want to see my master, you have to be sincere. My master is busy every day. He’s not someone you can meet just because you want to.”

“You’re right, you’re right,” Jian Bing said as he nodded.

“Also…” Zhu Honggong spat out the seed of the fruit in his mouth before he said, “Don’t worry about the sky falling or not. If it does, my master alone can deal with it! Relax and stay here. It’s so chaotic outside. Why bother leaving?”

“Brother Zhu, you’re right! I’m indeed a little too anxious,” Jian Bing said.

Zhu Honggong straightened his back and said with a smile, “When I was in the yellow lotus domain, I was worshipped as the Holy Lord by countless people. This place is still inferior to the yellow lotus domain in regard to treatment.”

Jian Bing said awkwardly, “Of, of course…” Then, he asked, “Brother Zhu, are you really not going to care about the Pillars of Destruction?”

“Of course not!” Zhu Honggong said. He leaned back, feeling extremely comfortable and satisfied.

Suddenly, a stern voice that carried a hint of reproach rang in Zhu Honggong’s ears.

“Old Eight.”

“Ah?”

Zhu Honggong leaped up immediately like a spring.

Upon seeing Zhu Honggong’s strange behavior, Jian Bing asked, “Brother Zhu, what’s wrong?”

“Did you hear anything?”

“No,” Jian Bing said with a smile, “I have extremely good hearing. Brother Zhu, you must have misheard it.”

“You’re right. I thought it was some bast*rd pretending to be my master,” Zhu Honggong said before he leaned back again and smiled in satisfaction.

Then, the voice rang in Zhu Honggong’s ears again.

“Bast*rd, you dare to ignore me?”

Zhu Honggong opened his eyes in shock as he fell off the chair. He looked outside the hall and called out, “M-master?”

The voice seemed to have come from the distant sky. It also seemed like it traveled through time and space before reaching him.

“The Great Void is in chaos, and the pillars are about to collapse. Why aren’t you going back to Xihe Hall to comprehend the Great Dao?”

Zhu Honggong, who was too familiar with his master’s voice, quickly kneeled down and said, “Yes, master!”

This time, there was no response.

Zhu Honggong wiped the sweat off his face and looked around in panic.

Jian Bing did not understand what was going on. He asked, “Brother Zhu, what’s wrong?”

Zhu Honggong felt really embarrassed, and he did not know how to explain himself. In the end, he only said, “No, it’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered my master’s words, and I was too moved and instinctively kneeled out of awe for my master! I think I should return to the Great Void.”

Jian Bing felt his goosebumps rise when he heard Zhu Honggong’s words of flattery. He gave Zhu Honggong a thumbs-up and said, “Brother Zhu, you’re amazing! All along, I thought no one believed in the Unholy One more than I did. Until today, I realized there’s always someone better in the world. Compared to you… I really have to admit defeat!”

“...”

Jian Bing cupped his fists together and said, “From now on, Brother Zhu, you’re my elder brother!”

‘Elder brother my as*!’

Zhu Honggong scratched his head as he wondered inwardly, ‘Was it an illusion? This isn’t the first time it has happened. It happened while I was in the yellow lotus domain as well. At that time, it felt like an auditory hallucination. However, today, it’s abnormally clear as though master is here reprimanding me…’

After thinking about it, Zhu Honggong said, “I have to return to the Great Void. Do you want to come with me?”

“Really?” Jian Bing perked up immediately.

“What do you think? Didn’t you call me Elder Brother?”

Jian Bing patted his chest and said, “Yes! You’re my elder brother forever! Where Elder Brother goes, I will follow!”

“Then, what are you waiting for? Let’s go now!” Zhu Honggong said, pushing away the plate of fruits. He rose to his feet, and his entire person seemed to change, looking imposing.

Jian Bing: “...”

‘Why are you in such a rush? Moreover, how did you change so quickly? I really have to admit defeat!’
