Before anyone could react, the blue lightning bolt had already shot up and vanished.
Boom!
The sound of an explosion rang powerfully in the air.
At this moment, Mingshi Yin hovered in the air. When all the energy gathered in his Dantian’s sea of Qi, the energy suddenly shot out like spiderwebs, binding his body.
“What’s happening?”
Everyone was taken aback.
Mingshi Yin wore a dumbfounded expression on his face as he looked to the left and right. Then, he hurriedly brought his Separation Hook out before he flew back and forth in the blue sphere as he tried to slash at the energy. Alas, the Separation Hook only seemed to cut through air; there was no effect at all. At the same time, the energy continued to drag him up.
Mingshi Yin frowned. “Am I going to heaven?”
“Junior brother, I’ll lend you a hand,” Yu Zhenghai said. He tapped his foot and leaped up in the air. He wielded the Jasper Saber with both hands as it shot out a huge energy blade that seemed capable of cleaving the heavens and earth into two.
Bang!
As soon as the energy blade landed on the blue sphere, it disappeared without a trace.
Everyone exchanged a look before they unleashed their skills, trying to break the blue sphere. Alas, their attempts were all in vain.
Zhao Yu frowned as he said, “Since he gained the Pillar of Destruction’s recognition, is he being brought to a runic passage at the top of the pillar?”
“Now’s not the time to talk about this. Hurry up and think of a way to save Mr. Fourth,” Kong Wen said.
They tried to approach the blue sphere, but no matter how hard they tried, they would be pushed back. They could not get any closer.
…
At the same time.
In the white palace.
A female attendant rushed to the entrance of the palace and said, “Master, The maid rushed to the outside of the palace and bowed, “Master, the Sacred Hall has sent news that a Great Void Seed has matured.”
Lan Xihe, who was meditating, opened her eyes immediately. A hint of shock flashed in her eyes as she said, “How’s that possible?”
The Great Void Seeds matured every 30,000 years. This was the way it had always been. It had only been 300 years since the last batch of Great Void Seed matured. It was impossible for it to mature so quickly. Moreover, she had participated in the Great Void Expedition so she knew what the situation was like.
“The Sacred Hall’s messenger said that there should be no mistake. He said it’s from the Great Desolate Land. They’ll send people there to investigate,” the female attendant replied.
Lan Xihe shook her head. “Since they’re planning to verify this matter, does this mean many people already know about this?”
“No. Only a few people are privy to this matter. The messenger said that outside of the Sacred Hall, only you and I are aware of this matter,” the female attendant replied.
“Continue to investigate. If there’s a need, I’ll personally head over to the Great Desolate Land,” Lan Xihe said.
“Understood.”
…
In Yu Zhong, formerly known as the Great Desolate Land.
Inside the Pillar of Destruction.
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion watched helplessly as Mingshi Yin rose higher and higher into the air. The energy in the blue sphere surged continued to drag him up.
“Stand back,” Lu Zhou finally said.
Everyone took a few steps back.
Lu Zhou walked over and placed his hand on the sphere. He felt the numbing sensation from an electric current before he felt a slight push. Unlike the others, he was not pushed back; he stayed where he was since the force was not strong enough to push him away. However, the electric-like energy made him feel a little numb and uncomfortable.
Since Lu Zhou had depleted his divine power, he could only use his blue avatar. Earlier, after his divine power had been restored by Whitzard, he had used it to power the blue avatar, and the remaining was used on Lu Wu. Fortunately, the blue avatar was now a Two Leaf Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar so it was not too weak.
A small amount of divine power surged out and coursed through his Eight extraordinary meridians before surging out of his palm.
Swoosh!
With that, the blue sphere opened up before everyone’s eyes.
Lu Zhou stepped into the blue sphere. The energy in there was similar to the divine power but different at the same time. The Great Void energy that rose from the ground made him feel uncomfortable.
“Come down!” Lu Zhou raised his hand, unleashing the Fiend Monk’s Hand Seal. Since he used his own cultivation base to unleash this palm seal, he did it with ease.
The palm seal grabbed Mingshi Yin and dragged him down. However, energy from all directions continued surging into his Dantian’s sea of Qi as the blue light grew brighter and brighter.
“Sit down.”
“Understood.” Mingshi Yin did as he was told. He regulated his breathing, inhaling and exhaling. Soon enough, the energy was no longer restless as they entered his Dantian’s sea of Qi. With that, the surroundings returned to normal as well.
Zhao Yu was thoroughly puzzled by this. He asked in disbelief, “Old sir, you can enter the blue sphere?”
Lu Zhou did not pay attention to Zhao Yu. He kept his gaze focused on Mingshi Yin who was gradually calming down. Then, he looked at the Great Void Seed, which still looked like a seedling, next to him before he moved to stand next to it. Then, he leaned forward and sniffed it. A unique fragrance wafted into his nostrils, causing him to feel as though he had traveled through time and space. A familiar yet unfamiliar feeling appeared in his mind before it unlocked the sealed memory at the corner of his mind. He only saw one scene: Ji Tiandao bending over to pluck a Great Void Seed.
Lu Zhou was slightly startled when he felt an electric current running through his entire body, numbing his body from his feet to the top of his head. It felt like countless ants were crawling on him.
‘How did he do it?’ The Great Void Energy had unlocked just a small part of the memory, and it was far from enough.
Lu Zhou stared at the Great Void Seed that everyone coveted and would die for. Alas, it was from being ripe for the pickings. At this time, its smell and energy turned familiar and comforting.
Lu Zhou looked at the soil on the ground before grabbing a fistful of it. With that, the Pillar of Destruction trembled again.
Following that, a magical scene appeared. The hole that appeared after Lu Zhou took the soil away magically filled up. Then, the soil in his hand quickly solidified into a blue crystal that was brimming with Great Void energy.
Lu Zhou’s curiosity was piqued. He bent down and grabbed another fistful of soil.
Rumble!
This time, the tremors grew stronger, causing a huge rock to drop down from above.
When the rock fell into the range of the blue sphere, the electric-like energy wrapped around it. Just like that, the rock turned into nothingness. It was as though it never existed.
Lu Zhou bent down again.
Just as Lu Zhou was about to grab the soil again, Yan Zhenluo called out, “Pavilion Master.”
“Hm?”
“Look.” Yan Zhenluo pointed at the seedling of the Great Void Seed in the center.
When Lu Zhou turned around, he saw the Great Void Seed seemed to be glowing a little brighter than before. Apart from that, the speed of the flowing energy seemed to have slowed down slightly.
In other words, if Lu Zhou continued taking the soil away, he would eventually destroy the Great Void Seed.
‘Forget it.’ Lu Zhou straightened his back.
At the same time, Mingshi Yin no longer glowed with a blue light. It seemed as though the fusion was completed.
The surrounding energy returned to its original position, flashing intermittently like before, looking like stars in the universe.
“How do you feel?” Lu Zhou asked.
Mingshi Yin’s expression was solemn as he inhaled deeply. After exhaling, he said, “I… I’ve never felt this way before…”
“Cultivate diligently when we return,” Lu Zhou said.
“Yes, master.”
Lu Zhou did not press for details about how Mingshi Yin felt. This was not the right time. Doing so would only expose Mingshi Yin’s potential.
Lu Zhou walked out of the blue sphere with his hands on his back as Mingshi Yin followed behind him.
As soon as the duo stepped out, the blue sphere closed again. It was smooth and without ripples.
Lu Zhou threw one of the blue crystals to Lu Li and said, “This can help you break the limit.”
Lu Li instinctively caught it in his hand before he asked excitedly, “You’re giving it to me?”
Lu Zhou said, “With your abilities, it’d be a pity for you to be stuck at having only five Birth Charts.”
Lu Li fell to his knees immediately. “Thank you, Pavilion Master!”
