Chapter 191: The Nirvana Sash
Ye Tianxin was a cold person. When she saw her sisters who had been following her for a long time kneeling down, she merely sighed. She did not say anything. She bowed at her sisters who were kneeling on the ground and left the mountain.
When Mingshi saw the female cultivators were about to speak up, he interjected, “You guys really are stupid… Do as you’re told.”
The female cultivators stood rooted to the spot.
…
Meanwhile, in the south pavilion’s courtyard.
Hua Wudao sighed and said, “I can see the child genuinely wants to repent… What a shame…”
Mingshi Yin seized the chance and said, “Master… Sixth Junior Sister’s cultivation base has just recovered. She was even hit by the backlash from helping little junior sister. I’m worried it’s dangerous for her to leave the Golden Court Mountain like this.”
Lu Zhou glanced at Mingshi Yin and said, “That’s her fate.”
Zhu Honggong pulled the hem of Duanmu Sheng’s garment to stop him from talking.
Duanmu Sheng took a step back and silently stood at the side.
It was as Mingshi Yin had said, the current Ye Tianxin was still weak… With her identity as a Bai, if she left the Evil Sky Pavilion, there would be many who would be vying to kill her. However, if she did not have a trick or two up her sleeve after all these years, she would have been a disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion in vain. Even Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, whose cultivation base was only in the Divine Court realm cultivation base managed to establish a stronghold in Tiger Ridge and kept himself from harm for so long. It was highly improbable for the intelligent Ye Tianxin to get into trouble.
“Look after Little Yuan’er.”
“Yes, master.”
…
Lu Zhou returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion and entered the hidden chamber. There, he sat down cross-legged.
Before comprehending the Heavenly Writing, Lu Zhou glanced at the mission list. Indeed, Ye Tianxin’s name could no longer be found there. At this juncture, it was pointless dwelling on these things.
He opened the Heavenly Writing’s interface and began to comprehend it. At this point, he had basically memorized the contents of the Heavenly Writings. Apart from the indecipherable scribblings, he was not sure if there would be any new content.
He scrolled down…
“To gain the power of speech, even about unspeakable truths, and understand the words spoken by the tongues of beings in different worlds.”
“To gain the power of immaterial existence so that we may visit many places without having to move, reaping many benefits.”
“To gain the power to foresee the future, even about unspeakable possibilities and the tribulations in the different worlds.”
The contents were the same as before. There was no additions or anything missing. Naturally, it was still as incomprehensible as ever.
His comprehension of the Heavenly Writing was currently on loop. On the surface, it seemed extremely bland. However, the effects of comprehending the Heavenly Writing were becoming more and more noticeable. This motivated him to continue comprehending it.
However, when would this end?
As he looked at the rows of incomprehensible words of the Heavenly Writing, Lu Zhou shook his head. Then, he quickly entered his comprehension state.
Time passed in just a blink of an eye.
Before he knew it, a day had passed.
Early the next morning, Lu Zhou had just emerged from his comprehension state when he heard voices from outside…
“Master, I’m here to wish you good morning!”
Lu Zhou stood up slowly and opened the door of the hidden chamber. His gaze fell upon an excited Little Yuan’er.
Little Yuan’er squatted on the ground obediently. When she saw her master, she leaped to her feet and said enthusiastically, “Master, I can now easily unleash my Hundred Tribulations Insight!” She casually waved her arm, and her Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar appeared.
The golden avatar disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. She could conjure it and dismiss it at will.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction and said, “Entering the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm signifies you’re among the experts. However, you shouldn’t be too prideful about this.”
“Understood,” Little Yuan’er said.
“The sable magnolias are extremely potent, and yet, you took all of them in one go. If it weren’t for…” Lu Zhou paused. Then, he said, “You nearly lost your life by consuming them in such a manner.”
Little Yuan’er mumbled, “Master, senior brother told me that Senior Sister Tianxin was the one who saved me…”
When he saw Little Yuan’er was about to plead on Ye Tianxin’s behalf, he chided her, “Don’t mention her! I’ve been extremely lenient toward her.”
Little Yuan’er no longer dared to speak.
Lu Zhou went into the great hall with his hands clasped on his back.
Apart from several female cultivators cleaning the hall, there was no one else around.
Lu Zhou was puzzled. These female cultivators belonged to the Derived Moon Palace. He did not expect them to remain here now that Ye Tianxin was gone.
When they saw Lu Zhou, the female cultivators stopped what they were doing and bowed at Lu Zhou. “Greetings, Pavilion Master.”
Lu Zhou merely nodded and took his seat.
Little Yuan’er walked up to him with an ingratiating smile. She kneaded Lu Zhou’s shoulders and chuckled occasionally.
Lu Zhou frowned. One who was friendly for no reason was certainly hiding evil intentions. He said in his deep voice, “Just say what you want to say. It’s unbecoming to hide your true intentions.”
Little Yuan’er said with a smile, “Master, have you forgotten something?”
Lu Zhou raised his hand and gave Little Yuan’er’s forehead a knock. “This girl!” Naturally, he knew what Little Yuan’er meant. Back then, he had promised her that he would give her a weapon once she entered the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.
Due to a fortuitous turn of events, Lu Zhou had purchased the limited-time treasure box and obtained a weapon that was suitable for Little Yuan’er. Whether it was Life Cutter or the other junk inside the hidden chamber, none of them seemed compatible with Little Yuan’er.
Lu Zhou raised his palm slowly. With just a thought, the scarlet Nirvana Sash appeared in his hand.
It was completely red and seven-foot-long. Its hue was like fire, and its shape was like a dragon.
When Little Yuan’er saw the Nirvana Sash, she looked at it intently as she said, “Ma-master, what’s this?”
“This is the Nirvana Sash, a binding treasure… Its length is flexible and dependent on your cultivation base.” Lu Zhou turned to look at Little Yuan’er. “You don’t like it?”
“If it’s from you, master, there’s no way I won’t like it!” Little Yuan’er’s gaze was still trained on the Nirvana Sash. Initially, she did not think it looked too impressive. However, the more she looked at it, the more she felt it was not as simple as it seemed.
“In that case, I’ll give you this Nirvana Sash.” He waved his hand.
The Nirvana Sash did a 360-degree turn above his palm. Golden dragon veins shone along the sash and blended harmoniously with the red of the sash.
The Nirvana Sash flew toward Little Yuan’er. It wrapped around her three times, from her waist to her upper body.
Little Yuan’er exclaimed in surprise. When the Nirvana Sash finished wrapping itself around her body, its radiance immediately disappeared.
“Ding! The Nirvana Sash has successfully acknowledged its owner. Activated grade: heaven-grade. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”
Little Yuan’er was utterly thrilled. She held the Nirvana Sash like a monkey.
“Thank you, master!” When Little Yuan’er received the Nirvana Sash, she bowed at Lu Zhou. “I won’t let you down!”
Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, “The Nirvana Sash has acknowledged you as its owner. You should get used to it as soon as you can and don’t slack off.”
Little Yuan’er nodded vigorously and said, “I’ll surely put it to good use.” When she finished speaking, she dashed out of the Evil Sky Pavilion with a hint of impatience.
Lu Zhou nodded. He felt pleased. He was filled with anticipation in regard to Little Yuan’er’s future… With her talents, she would have no problem surpassing his other disciples in the near future. He was just about to return and comprehend the Heavenly Writing when he heard the wails from outside.
“Mi-miss Ninth… No, don’t…”
