Chapter 1433: 3,000 Silver-armored Guards

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were slightly worried about the fall of the huge rock.
The Pillars of Destruction were not ordinary, after all. If the Great Void was truly located high up in the sky since the land split, it meant that the pillars had been around for a very long time. If the pillar at Ji Ming were to collapse now, the first ones to suffer would undoubtedly be those who were present now.
…
Outside of the Pillar of Destruction, Lu Wu raised his head slightly when he heard the commotion. He looked in the direction of the ring-shaped lake and the conical ice barrier that pierced into the sky before he muttered, “How cowardly.”
The conical ice barrier was nothing more than an attempt at defense should the sky fall.
…
Inside the Pillar of Destruction.
After a short silence, the four elders looked at the respective blue crystals in their hands hesitantly, wondering if they should really keep the blue crystals. If the sky really collapsed and countless lives were lost, then they would be sinners for all eternity. They truly did not want to bear such a crime.
Hua Wudao said with a guilty expression on his face, “Pavilion Master, why, why don’t we return the blue crystals?”
Zuo Yushu held the blue crystal in her hand and said, “Elder brother, we, old geezers, should just give the blue crystals up. We really can’t afford the consequences.”
Pan Litian glanced at Zuo Yushu and did not say anything. He agreed with all her words except for the words ‘old geezers’. To him, it did not matter if he obtained the blue crystal or not. After all, Pan Zhong had already obtained the blue crystal. Hence, he said, “This old geezer is also willing to return the blue crystal.”
Everyone remained silent as the elders spoke.
Lu Zhou had been paying attention to the changes above. He had cast both the power of smell and the power of hearing, hence, all changes were within his perception. During the time that the four elders spoke up, there was nothing unusual. Hence, he waved his sleeve and said, “Keep them.”
There were too many people in the Evil Sky Pavilion, and it was difficult for everyone to get the blue crystals as it was.
Lu Zhou added, “What does it have to do with me if the sky collapses? There’s no need to worry.”
“???”
‘Didn’t he say earlier that he’ll bear the consequences and deal with it if the sky collapses?’
Lu Zhou turned around and looked at the Great Void seedling. When he was about to dig up another piece of soil, he discovered the seedling was tilted to the side.
“Hmm?” Lu Zhou moved closer to study the seedling.
After Duanmu Sheng had descended to the ground, he could now move freely within the barrier. Hence, he also moved to observe the Great Void seedling. He scratched his head and asked, “Is it dying?”
Lu Zhou replied tonelessly, “Plants will naturally die if they lose their soil.”
“This…”
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhenluo said, “It’s better to let it live. The greed of humans has nothing to do with the Great Void Seeds. I still feel that the seeds are a gift from the heavens and earth to humans. How it’s used depends on humans…”
Lu Zhou nodded slightly and straightened his back. The soil was slowly replenishing itself, but if he continued taking the soil now, the seed would die, and the Pillar of Destruction at Ji Ming might really collapse.
“Forget it,” Lu Zhou turned around and said, “Those who have yet to obtain the blue crystals, wait until we go to the other Pillars of Destruction.”
Everyone was delighted upon hearing this. Based on Lu Zhou’s words, he intended to give everyone the blue crystals. They were very impressed by his generosity. In their opinion, Lu Zhou did not unfairly favor his disciples. He treated everyone else fairly by promising to give every one of them a blue crystal. With this, their loyalty increased.
Even the loyalty of Kong Wen and his brothers, who were the latest to join the Evil Sky Pavilion, increased to 80%.
Lu Zhou no longer cared about loyalty. The human heart was the most unpredictable, and if there were no fluctuations, one would not be human but a machine instead.
Lu Zhou took the lead and walked out of the barrier with his hands on his back, and Duanmu Sheng followed suit.
The barrier returned to normal, and the Great Void seedling slowly straightened up as well.
At this time, the head of the 49 swordsmen, Yuan Lang, who had been working silently during the journey, moved next to Duanmu Sheng and said in a low voice, “Congratulations, Mr. Third! I didn’t expect you to have the Great Void Seed! Congratulations!”
Duanmu Sheng said, “It’s not worth mentioning.”
Yuan Lang was the person whom Qin Renyue trusted most. He was sent by Qin Renyue to the Evil Sky Pavilion to serve as a bridge between the Qin clan and the Evil Sky Pavilion. How could he not be pleasantly surprised that a future supreme being had appeared in the Evil Sky Pavilion?
“I hope you’ll take care of me and the 49 swordsmen in the future, Mr. Third,” Yuan Lang said.
“Sure.”
Everyone began to follow Lu Zhou and walked out of the Pillar of Destruction.
The ten great disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion were naturally aware that all of them had Great Void Seeds, but their master had stressed on the importance of keeping that a secret. Now, two of the Great Void Seeds had been exposed. Fortunately, they were exposed in the Unknown Land. Even if someone found out and coveted the seeds, it would be difficult to find them in the vast Unknown Land. Moreover, the Evil Sky Pavilion was as powerful as the sun in the sky now.
When they walked out of the Pillar of Destruction, Lu Wu rose to his feet and asked, “You’re done?”
Lu Zhou nodded before he looked to the side and saw the conical ice barrier that pierced straight into the sky.
The others were surprised as well when they saw the conical ice barrier.
Lu Zhou said, “Childish.”
Then, Lu Zhou leaped onto Whitzard’s back and flew up.
The others took another look before they joined Lu Zhou up in the sky as well.
…
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Ji Ming returned to its usual calm and silence.
Princess Mulberry appeared on the tip of the conical ice barrier and looked in the direction where Lu Zhou and the others had left before she looked up.
The white cranes flew up from below, stirring up waves.
The mulberry tree in the center of the ring-shaped lake stood firmly.
…
Princess Mulberry stood at the top of the conical ice barrier for an entire month before she finally saw a black figure flying over from the distance, early in the morning.
The black figure circled the area, studying the traces of battle left behind before entering the Pillar of Destruction. After leaving the pillar, the figure flew toward the ring-shaped lake. When the figure saw the high and mighty Princess Mulberry, he said with a bow, “Greetings, Princess Mulberry.”
Princess Mulberry looked at the black figure and only said, “Another human.”
The black figure said, “I’m from the Great Void, and I’m here to investigate something.”
After sizing him up, Princess Mulberry asked, “What is it?”
“Where did the person who killed the high priest of the Void Chest tribe go?” the black figure asked.
“I don’t know,” Princess Mulberry replied.
The black figure said, “This matter is very important to me. I hope you’ll help me.”
Princess Mulberry furrowed her brows and said, “Isn’t the Great Void very powerful? Go and solve this matter yourself.”
“Princess Mulberry…”
“Get lost!”
A wave of energy swept out, and the black figure flashed and disappeared.
…
At the same time.
In an ancient ruin.
“A month has passed, and everyone’s strength is increasing steadily. Pavilion Master, do you intend to travel again soon?” Yan Zhenluo asked.
Kong Wen nodded before he said to Lu Zhou, “I’ve already looked at the map. Our next destination is Ping Dan. Based on our current speed, we should be able to reach our destination in roughly three months.”
Lu Zhou muttered, “Three months? Then, we should continue on with our journey now.”
When they were in the golden lotus domain, they did not feel anything when they heard about how vast the Unknown Land was. However, now that they were in the Unknown Land, it finally hit them how truly vast the Unknown Land was.
The endless days of traveling had tempered everyone’s hearts and minds, and they had also gotten used to the harsh environment.
Fortunately, the overall strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion was relatively strong. Hence, they were able to overcome the obstacles that they ran into during their journey.
The abundance of life hearts also helped the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion to increase their strengths by leaps and bounds. Coupled with the Pillar of Impermanence, they were like fishes in water when they cultivated.
…
Three months later.
In a hall in the Great Void.
Jiang Wenxu paced back and forth.
At this time, a silver-armored guard walked in from outside and said, “Master, Jiang Dongshan has gone to the Unknown Land. What orders should I give him?”
“The Unknown Land?” Jiang Wenxu frowned. “Has the matter in the golden lotus domain been investigated?”
“He said that person is in the Unknown Land.”
Jiang Wenxu nodded and said, “The imbalance is worsening. The owners of the Great Void Seeds will soon appear one after another. I’ll give him 100 years. He has to bring that person’s head back to me.”
“Understood,” the silver-armored cultivator said before leaving the hall.
Following that, another subordinate walked in and said with a bow, “Master, the Hall Master wants to see you.”
Jiang Wenxu nodded. “Alright.”
In just a moment, Jiang Wenxu appeared outside the Sacred Hall. He glanced at the Scales of Justice and was surprised to see that it was tilted heavily to one side. After a moment, he asked, “May I ask what orders the Hall Master has for me?”
A voice rang from inside the grand hall.
“There’s something wrong with the Pillar of Enlightenment. I heard your silver-armored guards are quite powerful. Can you lend them to me?”
Jiang Wenxu did not agree immediately. Instead, he asked, “Shouldn’t Mr. Ouyang deal with this matter?”
“He’s busy and doesn’t have the time to deal with this.”
Then, Jiang Wenxu said with a smile, “If the Hall Masters need the silver-armored guards, then they’ll be at your service.”
“Alright. Send them to the ten Pillars of Destruction to protect them.”
“Understood.” Jiang Wenxu nodded. Then, he asked, “Hall Master, why didn’t you send the divine beasts? In the nine domains, the strongest person is the Great Saint, Chen Fu. Two divine beasts are enough to deal with everyone in the nine domains.”
There was a brief silence before the person in the hall said again, “Dao Saint Jiang.”
“Hm?”
“Your clone dominated the golden lotus domain for 300 years. What was the result?” The person’s voice was gentle when he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenxu was shocked. He immediately bowed. “Hall Master, I…”
“There’s no need to panic. I don’t blame you.”
Following that, a gray figure appeared three meters in the air in front of Jiang Wenxu. The person’s eyebrows were three feet long, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s. He said, “How can I not know that the twelve Saints of the Great Void each have their own ideas? It’s just that there are some things that I turn a blind eye to…”
Jiang Wenxu nodded as he said, “The Hall Master is magnanimous beyond words.”
“The Sacred Hall controls the world, and we have to maintain our dignity in front of the other nine halls. Even you failed to completely dominate the golden lotus domain. Can you imagine what those who trespassed into the Pillars of Destruction are like?”
“I understand,” Jiang Wenxu said solemnly, “The 3,000 silver-armored guards will definitely ensure the safety of the Pillars of Destruction.”
The grey figure nodded before disappearing into thin air like a wisp of smoke.
Following that, Jiang Wenxu walked toward the Scales of Justice. He was puzzled when he discovered the scales were tilted in the direction of the golden lotus domain.
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly rang from the hall again.
“I’ve already severely punished Chen Fu.”
“…”
Jiang Wenxu was shocked upon hearing this. Then, he quickly left the Sacred Hall.
…
Not long after, 3,000 silver-armored guards entered the runic passage and were transported to the dark Unknown Land.
The 3,000 silver-armored guards were divided into ten teams of 300 guards before they rushed off in ten different directions.
…
In the Unknown Land’s Ping Dan.
After three months of traveling, Lu Zhou and the others finally arrived near Ping Dan.
Yuan Lang, one of the 49 swordsmen, had quite a lot to say about the place. He said, “Pavilion Master Lu, back then, I followed Venerable Master Qin to Ping Dan. We obtained quite a lot of mystic life grass and life hearts here.”
Lu Zhou nodded.
Yuan Lang continued to say, “Alas, none of us managed to enter the barrier in the Pillar of Destruction at that time so we could only return empty-handed.”
“No one obtained the Great Void soil?”
“No.” Yuan Lang shook his head.
Lu Zhou thought about the nine crystals he had collected at the very beginning. If only those who possessed the Great Void Seeds could pass through the barriers, then where did those nine blue crystals come from? How did Lan Xihe and the others obtain the nine blue crystals?
The ten Pillars of Destruction corresponded to the ten Great Void Seeds and ten different qualities.
Who was the person who entered the barrier and took the Great Void soil at that time? The owners of the previous batch of Great Void Seeds?
Lu Zhou’s eyes flashed slightly as he continued thinking about this. Those who possessed the Great Void Seeds would become supreme beings. Not counting other times, In 100,000 years, three batches of Great Void Seeds had matured, which meant there were 30 Great Void Seeds.
Lu Zhou had ten, and Lan Xihe happened to possess one, which meant there were still 19 Great Void Seeds that were unaccounted for. Not counting Lan Xihe, did this mean there were 19 supreme beings or future supreme beings in the Great Void?
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. With this, the Great Void was indeed rather strong.
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai sat on Bi An and flew toward Lu Zhou before he asked, “Master, we’re ready. Should we enter the Pillar of Destruction now?”
Lu Zhou was not in a hurry to make a decision. He asked, “There’s no zombie king guarding the Pillar of Destruction in Ping Dan?”
Yuan Lang shook his head and said, “No. In the past, it was true that the Great Void intended for the ten zombie kings to guard each of the ten Pillars of Destruction. However, things became messy later. For example, the zombie king at Yu Zhong was long gone after Yu Zhong became the home ground of Tian Wu and Lord Zhennan. In Ping Dan, not only is there no zombie king, but there’s no beast emperor as well.”
This meant that Ping Dan was relatively safe.
“Alright.”
Lu Zhou rose to his feet and led the group to the Pillar of Destruction.
The dark fog roiled in the sky. Due to the imbalance, the number of fierce beasts had increased.
Lu Wu let out a thunderous roar, scaring away the flying beasts in the sky with its might as a beast emperor.
Lu Zhou and the others were drawing close to the Pillar of Destruction when a figure suddenly appeared in the distance.
Kong Wen hurriedly reminded them, “Be careful!”
The members of Evil Sky Pavilion stopped flying and hovered in the air.
At this time, the figure shouted, “Everyone, be careful! There are fierce beasts hiding underground!”
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion lowered their heads instinctively.
As expected, the ground began to shake.
Boom!
Following that, an incomparably huge centipede broke out of the ground.
The figure’s reaction was swift. It flew toward the gigantic centipede, leaving afterimages in its wake.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The figure unleashed a sky full of golden seals that sliced the centipede up into pieces.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion did not make a move and watched from afar.
When the centipede finally fell, the figure harvested its life heart and said, “So you’re just a beast king. I’ve underestimated you.”
Lu Zhou frowned slightly when he heard the figure’s accent. The person in front of him did not seem like he was from Great Yan even if he had golden energy.
At this moment, Yu Zheng raised his saber and asked, “Who are you?”
The figure replied with a smile, “I’m Jiang Dongshan. How should I address you?”
When Jiang Dongshan raised his head, still panting slightly, everyone finally had a clear look of his face. He was middle-aged. His facial features were sharp and well-defined. He wore a scarf around his neck. Perhaps, he had been in the Unknown Land for a long time, his entire person was rather dusty.
Yu Zhenghai said, “Forget about my name. You go your way, and we’ll go our way. Farewell.”
“Hold on,” Jiang Dongshan called out.
