Chapter 1565 Everyone’s Captured
Time passed quickly.
Lu Zhou was so immersed in his cultivation of the Heavenly Writing that he did not realize his Birth Chart had been successfully activated.
The golden lotus hovered in front of him, constantly spinning like a compass.
The abyss was like the vast galaxy. The faint energy from the spots of light entered his Dantian’s sea of Qi slowly.
His body was glowing faintly. His senses had all shut down so his perception of the outside world was almost non-existent.
Perhaps, due to the power of the earth, he was able to occasionally hear voices above the abyss that came and went.
“Back then, the Unholy One was unrivaled. The Great Void lost four supreme beings and many people were injured before they finally managed to take him down. This time, he died after his battle with Emperor Tu Wei. Great Void Emperor Ming Xin had verified this a few times. What a shame! The Unholy One devoted his life to breakingthe shackles of heaven and earth and researching the resurrection method.”
“It’s only normal that he verified it multiple times. After all, the Unholy One suddenly returned after 100,000 years. Ming Xin’s afraid that he wouldn’t die so easily. I wonder what Ming Xin’s plan is after announcing the death of the Unholy One.”
“Humans are really complex. They say one thing, but they mean another thing.”
“What do you mean?”
“Despite his words, Ming Xin also wants to live forever.”
Over the next half a month.
The ten halls of the Great Void continued searching for the remaining owners of the Great Void Seeds. With the help of the Compass of Conservation, it was easy to find Saints’ locations.
With Tu Wei Hall’s Qi Sheng’s secret plan, many of the halls did not find the owners of the Great Void Seed even with the help of the Compass of Conservation. In fact, among the ten halls, only Shang Zhang Hall found two owners of the Great Void Seed.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were marked by the Azure Emperor so they were naturally taken away by him.
Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin were taken by the Scarlet Emperor while Zhao Yue and Ye Tianxin were taken by the White Emperor. Finally, Zhu Honggong was directly captured by Qi Sheng and brought back to the Great Void.
After an unknown amount of time.
In the abyss.
A female voice rang in Lu Zhou’s ears.
“His Majesty, the Azure Emperor, went to the twin lotus domains and found two owners of the Great Void Seeds. One’s a swordsman, and the other is a saber user. How lucky!”
“The Azure Emperor has always had a keen perception. However, I heard the White Emperor, the Red Emperor, and the Black Emperor each have two people as well.”
“There’s a new commander in Tu Wei Hall. He’s a brilliant strategist and has a deep insight. He’s now Ming Xin’s right-hand man. He’s the one who helped Ming Xin find the Great Void Seeds.”
“Each of the Five Emperors has two people. It’s really balanced.”
After a sigh, someone said, “The Great Void Seeds are mysterious and precious. I wonder why the Unholy One never took interest in them?” “The Unholy One obtained four Great Void Seeds in the ancient times, but he gave them to his subordinates. He wasn’t interested at all. Perhaps, he did not need the seeds for his cultivation path.”
“The Unholy One was truly formidable, but he was a failure in managing people. Look at Ming Xin now. Ming Xin’s like a sun in the sky, like a fish in the water, commanding the Great Void. Who dares to disobey him?”
In the Sacred Temple.
Ming Xin looked at Qi Sheng, who was standing calmly, and Zhu Honggong, who looked rather wretched. After a long silence, he asked, “How do you plan to explain this to me?”
Qi Sheng bowed and said, “The White Emperor gave me a second chance at life. I gave him two owners of the Great Void Seeds as repayment. Moreover, based on my relationship with the White Emperor, those two will be like our people as well.”
“As for the Black Emperor and the Green Emperor, they don’t care about the Great Void. They’re more focused on the conflict between them than their conflict with the Great Void. Giving them the seeds will not only ease their conflict with the Great Void, but it’ll intensify the conflict between them as well.”
“Shang Zhang Hall is the only hall out of the ten halls to obtain the seeds. If the other nine halls have the seeds as well, it won’t be good. Imagine if the ten halls possess all ten seeds, the Black Emperor, the Red Emperor, and the Azure Emperor will definitely target the Great Void.”
At this moment, Wen Ruqing said, “The Black Emperor doesn’t have any of the seeds.”
“Although what the world needs is balance, what we need is imbalance. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Wen Ruqing: “…”
Wen Ruqing really did not like the way Qi Sheng spoke.
At this moment, Ming Xin asked in a faint voice, “You want to subdue the enemy without a fight. However, don’t you think the price is too high?”
Qi Sheng said confidently, “Nothing is set in stone even if they have the Great Void Seeds. Even if the Great Void has all ten seeds, it means nothing if we can’t win the hearts of the people. Moreover, the owners of the seeds won’t be able to become supreme beings in a short time. It’s too late to wait for another 100 years.” “I disagree with you. Although you have a point, it’s still better to have all the seeds in our hands,” Wen Ruqing said.
Qi Sheng said, “Just wait and see.”
As soon as Qi Sheng’s voice fell, Hua Zhenghong flew in and landed in the hall. Then, she said to Ming Xin, “Your Majesty, there’s news from the Endless Ocean. The Azure Emperor and the Black Emperor are fighting in the east of the Endless Ocean.”
Wen Ruqing: “…”
Ming Xin asked, “What’s the result?”
“There’s no winner yet. After all, their cultivations are about the same. However, if they fight, both of them would definitely be injured,” Hua Zhenghong said.
Ming Xin nodded. Then, he looked at Qi Sheng and asked, “Qi Sheng, how should I reward you?” Qi Sheng said, “I don’t dare to take credit for this.”
Then, Ming Xin suddenly said sternly, “I’ll punish you by locking you in the dark room for three months. Take him away.” A hint of doubt flashed in Qi Sheng’s eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said, “I made my own decisions without consulting Your Majesty. I deserve to be punished.”
Wen Ruqing chimed in, fanning the fire, “You’re not a divine emperor, and yet, you dare to act on your own accord. Who do you think you are?”
As soon as Wen Ruqing finished speaking, Ming Xin said tonelessly, “Wen Ruqing, you’ll accompany him in the dark room for three months.”

After Wen Ruqing and Qi Sheng left, Ming Xin looked at Zhu Honggong, who was cowering silently. Then, he asked, “What’s your name?”
Ever since Zhu Honggong was captured, his head had been buzzing, and he had yet to recover from his shock.
“You, you… Y-you’re the Great, Great… Great Void, Void Emperor?” Zhu Honggong said incoherently.
Ming Xin smiled faintly as he asked, “Where did you get the Great Void Seed?”
“What Great Void Seed?” Zhu Honggong scratched his head.
“Your talent was originally terrible, and you weren’t suited for cultivating. However, you’re now a Saint. This is the power of the Great Void Seed,” Ming Xin said.
“Is that so?” Zhu Honggong asked in confusion, “Where is this place? Why am I here? Why did you capture me?”
Ming Xin sighed. “Guan Jiu, bring him away until he calms down.”
“Understood.”
A figure appeared.
Before Zhu Honggong could react, he was grabbed and taken out of the Sacred Temple.
