Chapter 1276: The Pillar of Destruction’s Recognition

Lord Zhennan interjected impatiently, “The Great Void Seed here from 300 years ago was nourished by our 10,000-year-old blood essence and qi.”
“…”
Everyone inhaled sharply and looked at each other in shock.
Zhao Yu mustered up his courage and asked, “A Great Void Seed would grow at each of the ten Pillars of Destruction. Why did you choose the one here? Apart from that, since you guarded the seed day and night, how did someone end up stealing it? Based on your strength at that time, even a Saint would find it difficult to steal the seed, right?”
Lord Zhennan said, “We fell asleep. Do you believe it?”
Everyone. “…”
‘Who the hell would believe such an excuse? Can’t you come up with a better excuse? Moreover, both of you fell asleep at the same time?! This excuse is too fake!’
Cultivators could go without sleep and food for a long time. How could the mighty Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu fall asleep?
“The loss of blood essence and qi forced us to enter a state of recovery.”
Lu Zhou asked, puzzled, “Didn’t you make preparations?”
Lord Zhennan chuckled. “You think I didn’t make preparations? The killing formation in the Forest of Horrors was just a small killing formation; it’s just the tip of the iceberg. 300 years ago, the preparations I made killed a group of ignorant black, white, and red lotus cultivators.”
Everyone was shocked.
Yan Zhenluo exclaimed, “The Great Void Expedition’s destination was Yu Zhong?”
“They overestimated themselves and paid a heavy price. In the end, they only managed to leave with a handful of soil. Was that worth showing off?” Lord Zhennan said slightly pridefully.
“So how did you lose the Great Void Seed…” Lu Zhou asked.
Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu. “…”
After a moment of silence, Lord Zhennan said, “Up until now, I still don’t know the Great Void Seed was lost…”
Zhao Yu asked, “Could it be someone from the Great Void?”
Everyone looked at Lord Zhennan.
“Impossible,” Lord Zhennan said, “If it were the people from the Great Void, they could’ve just killed everyone. Second, after the seed was lost, they came to Yu Zhong.”
Tian Wu looked at Ming Shiyin again. “Did the people of the Great Void give you the seed?”
Mingshi Yin shook his head. “Of course not! My master gave it to me!”
“…”
Tian Wu and Lu Zhou looked at Lu Zhou in unison with eyes brimming with doubt, shock, and questions.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. Part of Ji Tiandao’s memories in the memory crystal were lost so he could verify Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu’s words or if he had met them before. There was also that matter with Lu Tiantong.
“Do you recognize me?”
Tian Wu shook her head.
How strange. Ji Tiandao possessed all ten Great Void Seeds so he had definitely come to Yu Zhong before. Then, why were Tian Wu and Lord Zhennan unaware of it?
“I participated in the Great Void Expedition back then…” Lu Zhou said.
Everyone looked at Lu Zhou in shock. The participants of the Great Void Expeditions were unafraid of death, and those who survived were all awe-inspiring powerhouses. Who knew the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion was such a legendary figure?
Lu Zhou continued to say with a straight face, “I only obtained a Great Void Seed due to luck.”
“It’s fate.” Tian Wu shook her head. “If the Divine Soul Pearl emits light when it’s near him, it’ll prove the origin of the Great Void Seed.”
Lu Zhou turned around and tossed the Divine Soul Pearl out.
The Divine Soul Pearl flew around Mingshi Yin before it suddenly lit up.
At this time, Lord Zhennan’s charred upper trunk broke into pieces.
Tian Wu coughed violently. Her face turned pale as she smiled. She kept muttering, “Fate… It’s fate…”
Crash!
Lord Zhennan’s tree-like body completely fell apart at this moment. The middle of the tree trunk that had split open revealed a cylindrical stone with a line of words: The Tomb of Lord Zhennan. An intact skeleton lay inside the trunk as well. Strange symbols and scripts were carved on the bones, and its four limbs were tightly fused to the inside of the tree trunk.
Although this scene was rather dark, everyone could not help but sigh and shake their heads now that an expert of a generation like Lord Zhennan was dead.
“So it’s a parasitic technique.”
“How sad…”
They kept sighing and shaking their heads, feeling slightly melancholic.
In this world, there was no absolute right or wrong.
At this time, Tian Wu’s laughter rang in the air, pulling everyone back to their senses. All of them retreated slightly.
Tian Wu’s laughter was filled with sorrow. She did not look at Lord Zhennan and forced herself to look in another direction. Blood flowed out of her seven orifices as she continued to laugh.
“This…”
Everyone retreated again.
Only Lu Zhou stood without moving. He sighed as he looked at Tian Wu and Lord Zhennan.
“Master, is she going to die too?” Little Yuan’er asked in a small voice.
Lu Zhou did not answer her.
Little Yuan’er said before trailing off, “The Divine Soul Pearl…”
“The Divine Soul Pearl can’t save her,” Lu Wu said, “Her Dantian’s sea of Qi has long been destroyed, and all of her life force was gathered in the Divine Soul Pearl.”
When Tian Wu’s laughter stopped, the light in her eyes vanished as well.
Everything returned to darkness. Youth was fleeting, and beauty was fragile. In just a blink of an eye, Tian Wu had become an old woman.
At this time, Tian Wu finally turned around and shuffled closer toward Lord Zhennan. “The Great Void Seed carries our expectations. We hope you’ll be able to obtain the Pillar of Destruction’s recognition.”
Tian Wu’s words were clearly directed at Mingshi Yin.
“The Pillar of Destruction’s recognition?”
“I believe that you have a rare and valuable quality… because you’re unaffected by the formation in the Forest of Horrors,” Tian Wu said as her voice grew weaker and weaker.
At this time, Lu Zhou asked the question that had formed in his heart, “Were you and Lord Zhennan husband and wife?”
Tian Wu remained silent.
Everyone looked at each other in shock and disbelief.
Little Yuan’er asked in confusion, “Then, why did you fight?”
This pair of mortal enemies turned out to be husband and wife.
In the end, Tian Wu said, “Let this secret be buried forever. I have a request.”
The others clearly still had questions, but Lu Zhou raised his hand and said, “Speak.”
“Seal us at the bottom of the lake…”
“Alright.”
“Thank you…”
Tian Wu’s face aged again. The light gradually vanished from her eyes as she spoke her final sentence. “Perhaps, you’d be the one to change the world…”
After saying that, she hardened into stone.
“…”
There was a time when everyone wanted to live forever. Cultivators managed to change their fate, but what was their ultimate goal? Perhaps, they did not even know the answer. In the end, everything would return to the earth.
The silence in the Unknown Land was terrifying.
The night wind blew, showing no signs of stopping. Not a single fierce beast could be seen.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Finally, Lu Zhou waved his sleeve. “Old Fourth.”
“Yes, master.”
Lu Zhou sighed heavily before he said, “I’ll leave it to you to bury them.”
“Understood.” The usual mischievous and mocking expression on Mingshi Yin’s face was nowhere to be seen at the moment.. Instead, his expression was solemn.
