Chapter 1518 The Most Talented Mysterious Young Man
Lu Zhou said, “In the golden lotus domain, many people called me a devil in the past. They said I cultivated the diabolic path. At that time, the Evil Sky Pavilion was infamous. However, now, many people call the Evil Sky Pavilion the Saint Sky Pavilion. It can be seen that some things can change…”
Chen Fu nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he coughed twice and his chest began to heave heavily. His complexion looked more and more sickly.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou said, “Stretch out your hand.”
Chen Fu placed his hand on the stone table.
Lu Zhou placed two fingers on Chen Fu’s wrist to check Chen Fu’s pulse and sense the changes in Chen Fu’s body. After a moment, he withdrew his hand. He could clearly sense a unique force in Chen Fu’s body that was constantly eroding Chen Fu’s life. This force that was not strong was like a chronic poison. Previously, when he tried to heal Chen Fu, the force was able to resist the blue lotus’ healing effect. It was quite extraordinary.
“As expected of the Great Void Emperor,” Lu Zhou said.
Chen Fu calmly said, “The emperor has a profound understanding of the Dao and knows many laws between heaven and earth. To him, this is nothing.”
“A supreme being is also a human. They all have their weaknesses,” Lu Zhou said, “Don’t worry. If you die, I will use the Resurrection Scroll on you. If you’re alive, I will continue to find different methods to heal you.”
‘So I’m just a guinea pig.’
Chen Fu looked at Lu Zhou and solemnly asked, “Brother Lu, can you seriously answer a question?”
“Please speak.”
“Are you planning to make an enemy out of the Great Void?” Chen Fu asked.
The Great Void’s power was self-evident. Even as the only Great Saint in the twin lotus domain, no, the nine domains, Chen Fu could not stand against the Great Void. The Great Void and the nine domains were in completely different leagues.
Based on his interaction with Lu Zhou, Chen Fu could clearly feel Lu Zhou’s deep hatred for the Great Void. Moreover, it was not hatred that accumulated overnight.
Lu Zhou said, “It’s the Great Void who wants to make an enemy out of me.”
Although Chen Fu was mentally prepared, he was still surprised by Lu Zhou’s boldness and calmness when stating such words. After all, even if all the cultivators in the nine domains were to unite, in the Great Void’s eyes, they were just a motley crew of cultivators.
Chen Fu sighed. “When humans stand against the heavens, there’d be many casualties. Are you confident?”
Lu Zhou pointed at his disciples on the circular platform and said, “This is the source of my confidence.”
“Them?” Chen Fu shook his head. “I admit they’re highly talented, but do you think that they’ll be able to become supreme beings just by cultivating eight to ten years in Fragrant Valley and fight against the Great Void?”
“Eight to ten years?” Lu Zhou’s voice darkened as he said, “If that’s not enough, then 100 years, and if that’s still not enough, then 1,000
years.”
Chen Fu was slightly influenced by Lu Zhou’s spirit. He said, “It’s good to be confident. However, the Great Void will eventually find us. Fragrant Valley is indeed an excellent place. However, it’s not 100% hidden. There are many capable people in the ten halls who can find us.”
At this moment, Lu Zhou recalled he still had a card. It was his most precious item card. Then, he said, “I’ll kill whoever dares to come.”
If it was yesterday, Chen Fu would have thought Lu Zhou was a madman. However, after learning that Lu Zhou formed his divine soul pearl in two hours, he did not think so. After thinking for a moment, he said, “Although I don’t know where your confidence comes from, I choose to believe you.” Then, Chen Fu rose to his feet.
The attendant hurriedly stepped forward to support Chen Fu, and the two of them turned around and left.
Lu Zhou watched his disciples for a while. When he felt bored, he finally returned to the ancient building.
Lu Zhou spent his time studying healing techniques apart from cultivating.
He tried to use the Scripture of Sermons to see if he could find anything, but every time, he would have horrifying dreams and see the square merit stone.
“What’s this merit stone exactly?” Lu Zhou wondered out loud.
“Although the Scripture of Sermons used to belong to Lu Tiantong, Lu Tiantong was just a Venerable Master. He definitely wasn’t powerful enough to control the Scripture of Sermons. Then, whose voice was it I heard? It must be the Unholy One…” As the saying went, ‘The enemy of an enemy is a friend.”
The Unholy One was an enemy of the Great Void.
Lu Zhou thought that if he could find the Unholy One, the Unholy One would definitely be a great help. Moreover, based on what he had seen and heard in the Scripture of Sermons, he could tell that he and the Unholy One shared many similar insights. He had gained much from the Scripture of Sermons as well. He thought that even if they could not be friends, it was not impossible for them to form an alliance.
“Is the Unholy One really dead?” Lu Zhou wondered.
How could a person targeted by the ten halls of the Great Void, someone who made everyone tremble in fear, be ordinary?
Lu Zhou sighed. “There aren’t many people in this world that I’m fond of. You can count as being one of them…”
After collecting his thoughts, he brought out his divine soul pearl and practiced with it for a while. He planned to make full use of his time in Fragrant Valley. Based on Chen Fu’s words, there were many experts in the ten halls of Great Void so they would find Fragrant Valley eventually. He had to raise his cultivation during this limited time.
“Upgrade Card.”
This was undoubtedly one of the item cards that could greatly raise his cultivation. Every time he upgraded the system, he would obtain extraordinary power.
