Chapter 1252: The Venerable Master’s Revenge Plan
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The four elders exchanged a look. They had already prepared their answers.
Ye Wei said, “Let’s not talk about that…”
Ye Zheng sighed and said, “All of you should rest well. I have my own ways regarding my cultivation.”
Ye Wei knew what Ye Zheng meant. He bowed and said, “Venerable Master, please listen to us.”
“Speak.”
“The deaths of the 36 disciples were caused by the Fire Phoenix. We should look for the Fire Phoenix instead of that golden lotus domain’s Venerable Master,” Ye Wei said.
Ye Zheng frowned slightly. Previously, he had believed the four elders wanted revenge more than he did. He truly did not expect these words to come out from Ye Wei’s mouth.
“The Fire Phoenix was just a tool. Moreover, it’s a divine beast now. Do you think I don’t want to kill it?” Ye Zheng said solemnly, “If it wasn’t for Venerable Master Qin colluding with that person to launch a sneak attack, how could I have lost three Birth Charts? If I hadn’t been ambushed, the 36 disciples wouldn’t have died either…”
Ye Zheng’s tone was calm, but the meaning behind his words was clear, expressing his stance.
Ye Wei thought about it for a moment before he said, “I feel that this matter should be put to rest.”
Ye Zheng raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ye Wei intently. In fact, in the entire Yannan, he was the closest to Ye Wei. Ye Wei was also the strongest after him. Not only that, but Ye Wei also had the highest potential to become the second Venerable Master. Even if the path was long, there was no doubt Ye Wei was still the closest to it.
Ye Zheng’s heart stirred slightly as he looked at Ye Yuanjiu, Ye Geng, and Ye Yiqing. He asked, “What about the three of you?”
“I, too, think that we should put this matter to rest.”
“Agreed.”
“Agreed.”
Ye Zheng’s frown deepened as he said, “The 36 disciples of the Big Dipper Flag Formation were Yannan’s core strength; they weren’t ordinary disciples. Not only that, but the formation flags for the formation have also been destroyed. Are we really going to forget about these matters?”
“You’re a Venerable Master. A Venerable Master should be magnanimous and broad-minded. In the future, cultivate harder and strive to rise higher. We’ll do our best to assist you,” Ye Wei said. Although the words were sincere, they sounded strange.
Ye Zheng could not understand the four elders’ change in attitude. He suppressed the displeasure in his heart and waved his hand. “You may leave. I know what to do.”
The four elders bowed and left.
Following that, Ye Zheng’s figure vanished from the training hall as well.
…
The wind was gentle, the sun was bright, and the sky was clear.
Ye Zheng’s figure appeared outside a pergola that towered into the clouds. He called out, “Brother Tuoba, have a chat with me.”
“Come in.”
A black figure could be seen sitting in front of a table. There were two teacups and a pot of tea on the table.
Tuoba Sicheng brewed the tea as he said, “Have a seat.”
As Tuoba Sicheng poured the tea into the teacup, it made no ripples at all.
Ye Zheng flashed before he took a seat across from Tuoba Sicheng. He picked up the teacup and drained it all in one go. He was clearly angry.
Tuoba Sicheng smiled and asked, “Why are you angry?”
“That person destroyed my Birth Charts. If it weren’t for Brother Tuoba, I’m afraid I would’ve died. Moreover, my 36 disciples cannot die in vain!” Ye Zheng said.
Tuoba Sicheng chuckled before he said, “After so many days have passed, you finally remembered to be angry?”
Ye Zheng sighed before he said, “The four elders advised me to let this matter go…”
Tuoba Sicheng nodded. “I understand them.”
“You understand them?”
“That person’s methods are extraordinary, and he has Qin Renyue’s help. It’s not surprising the elders don’t want to make an enemy out of that person,” Tuoba Sicheng said, “Do you really want to seek revenge?”
Ye Zheng remained silent.
Tuoba Sicheng continued to say, “As a Venerable Master, grudges should be thrown to the back of your mind. Perhaps, this is why you can’t activate your 19th Birth Chart.”
Ye Zheng still did not speak.
Tuoba Sicheng extended his hand in front of Ye Zheng and said, “Great Void Pill.”
“Brother Tuoba, are you trying to take advantage of this situation?” Ye Zheng furrowed his brows.
Tuoba Sicheng said, “You’re thinking too much. If I really wanted to take advantage of the situation, I would’ve gone to Yannan long before you recovered your three Birth Charts. Just tell me if you agree or not.”
“You have to give me a reason,” Ye Zheng said.
“Watch carefully.” Tuoba Sicheng raised his right hand and pushed forward.
An astrolabe flew out and hovered vertically in front of a mountain peak. The green astrolabe flashed with 19 Birth Charts. The biggest Birth Chart shone the brightest.
Tuoba Sicheng casually waved his hand, and the astrolabe disappeared.
“19 Birth Charts?” Ye Zheng was surprised.
Tuoba Sicheng nodded and said, “It’s strange… After I saved you that day, I went into closed-door cultivation as soon as I returned. Three days ago, I successfully activated my 19th Birth Chart.”
Although the 19th Birth Chart was not the limit, it was difficult to activate. Not only was the difficulty of activating it high, but it was difficult to find a suitable high-quality life heart as well.
Ye Zheng’s eyelids twitched. Jealousy and envy reared their ugly heads for a moment before they vanished. Then, he said, “Congratulations.”
Tuoba Sichegn pointed at his head and said, “I’ve been enlightened. With the Great Void Pill, I can stabilize my cultivation base. I might even be able to activate my 20th Birth Chart.”
He seemed to be a little envious and jealous, but in the end, it turned into nothingness. He said to Tuoba Sicheng, “Congratulations.”
“Enlightened?” Ye Zheng asked skeptically.
Tuoba Sicheng thought about what happened that day before he shook his head and said, “I hope you’ll forgive me, Brother Ye, but I can’t talk about it.”
Ye Zheng sighed. “Would it be so difficult if one can understand just by listening to it once? Forget it. Anyway, I’ll give you the Great Void Pill in three days.”
“Thank you,” Tuoba Sicheng said with a smile, “Your matters are my matters. It’s best if you speak to Fan Zhong as well. That old thing’s stance is unclear…”
Ye Zheng nodded. “I know.”
Then, Ye Zheng disappeared into thin air in just a blink of an eye.
…
In the white palace.
A female attendant bowed and said, “Master, the White Tower Council is safe. The new Tower Master, Ye Tianxin, has successfully activated her Birth Chart. She has three Birth Charts now.”
Lan Xihe nodded calmly. “As expected of someone with the Great Void Seed. I hope she’ll grow stronger as soon as possible so she can become the Equalizer there.”
“Master, the imbalance is still growing… I thought there’s no need for an Equalizer for now?”
“That’s right. However, just because we don’t need one now, it doesn’t mean we won’t need one in the future,” Lan Xihe replied tonelessly. Then, she asked, “What’s the situation like in the Unknown Land?”
“Master, a divine beast has appeared and is flying toward the east side of the Endless Ocean. The Equalizer didn’t attack it. As for Pavilion Master Lu, I couldn’t find any traces of him.”
Lan Xihe sighed softly. She closed her eyes and murmured to herself, “Perhaps, I was wrong…”
…
Three months passed in just a blink of an eye.
In the new small tiny holy land of cultivation.
After cultivating for a period of time, he could feel that his Birth Palace had already stabilized. This speed was equivalent to cultivating outside for two years.
He could finally activate his next Birth Chart.
At this moment, it fully dawned on him how long the cultivation path was.
After Lu Zhou manifested his lotus, he looked at his Birth Palace and his Birth Charts.
