My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 1594 - Plans to Ascend to the Sky (2)

Chapter 1594: Plans to Ascend to the Sky (2)

“What discovery?”
Everyone’s attention was focused on Meng Changdong.
Meng Changdong said, “The golden lotus is weak because of its restraints, but it’s also strong because of its restraints. Over the past 100 years, I haven’t been idle. After studying the cultivation speed of the red lotus domain and the golden lotus domain, I discovered that the golden lotus domain’s cultivation speed surpasses that of the red lotus domain. Now that several hundred years have passed, the golden lotus domain’s overall strength isn’t any weaker than that of the red lotus domain!”
Everyone was surprised upon hearing this.
“It’s so fast?”
Although the red lotus domain was weak as well, it was still much stronger than the golden lotus domain in the past before the nine domains began to interact with each other. Back then, there was not a single person in the golden lotus domain who possessed nine leaves whereas there was already a small number of people in the red lotus domain who possessed ten leaves.
Meng Changdong continued to say, “That’s not all. The golden avatars have a higher degree of mobility. In terms of cultivation, the golden lotus domain’s potential and future far surpasses that of the red lotus domains. It’s only a matter of time before the golden lotus domain catches up to the black lotus domain.”
Then, after a brief pause, Meng Changdong said, “Hence, it’s not surprising for there to be new geniuses to appear in the golden lotus domain.”
Lu Li nodded. “No wonder I feel like I can’t catch up to the four elders’ speed.”
In the past, Lu Li and Yan Zhenluo’s cultivations were far higher than the four elders’. After more than 200 years, the four elders were not any weaker than the duo.
Just as Meng Changdong had said, the gap between the golden lotus domain and the black lotus domain would only become smaller and smaller.
“Alright, that explains the golden cultivators. However, what about the rest of us from the black lotus domain, the red lotus domain, and the green lotus domain? We can’t all be geniuses, after all.”
Meng Changdong said, “The cultivation of the green lotus domain is a little higher so there’s no need to explain anything. As for the others, I remember the Pavilion Master annihilated the monster hunting squad in the Unknown Land in the past. We can enter the Great Void as members of the squad.”
Everyone nodded upon hearing this. In the past, the monster hunting squad was indeed one of the best teams that roamed the Unknown Land. All of them possessed extraordinary abilities. Now that such a long time had passed, if they were still alive, it was not surprising if they had made great progress.
Yan Zhenluo asked again, “What if they get suspicious?”
“It’s normal for them to be suspicious. How’s it possible for them to trust us unconditionally right from the start? Do you think the people from the Great Void are fools?” Lu Li said with a smile, “All we need to do now is enter the Great Void. They will naturally test us later. The Dark Guards have a grudge against the Silver Guards. We’ll join the Dark Guards to work together for our shared interest.”
“Envoy Lu, I agree with you.”
“I agree as well.”
Everyone raised their hands to vote before they looked to Lu Zhou for the final decision.
“Alright, let’s do it this way,” Lu Zhou said.
“Yes.”
Lu Li said, “The Autumn Dew Mountain has a way to contact Xuanyi Palace’s Li Chun. However…” He paused and looked at Lu Zhou.
“Speak,” Lu Zhou said.
“Li Chun has met the Pavilion Master and some of us before. If he recognizes us, it might be troublesome,” Lu Li said.
Meng Changdong said, “It’s not a big deal. Li Chun’s original intention was to recruit talents. Saint Chen has passed away. When Li Chun meets the Pavilion Master, we can just seize the chance and agree to go with him.”
“You have a point. I’ll try to contact him then,” Lu Li said.
To carry out the plan, Lu Zhou led the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion to the other green lotus domain’s Autumn Dew Mountain.
…
The next day at Autumn Dew Mountain.
Lu Zhou sighed as he looked at Chen Fu’s portrait that was hung on the wall.
‘The past is the past…’ Lu Zhou sighed again and put away his thoughts.
At the same time, Lu Li hurried in and bowed before he said, “Pavilion Master, I’ve contacted Li Chun. He’ll be here soon.”
Lu Zhou nodded. He sat down and continued to wait.
The others from the Evil Sky Pavilion came over to wait with Lu Zhou as well when they heard the news.
About 15 minutes later, a burst of hearty laughter rang in the air followed by a voice that said, “A wise man submits to circumstances. I admire such people the most.”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
Li Chun, the Dao Saint of Xuanyi Palace, walked in with his hands clasped on his back. When he walked into the training hall and saw Lu Zhou and the others, he said with a smile, “It’s been a while. I didn’t expect your cultivation to improve so quickly.”
“I’m just lucky,” Lu Zhou replied.
Li Chun said, “Then, you’re really lucky.”
“Sit,” Lu Zhou said as he pointed at the seat next to him.
Li Chun sat down without hesitation and said, “I know what you’re thinking. I’ll say it again. If you’re willing to join the Dark Guards, I’ll welcome you at any time.”
Lu Li said, “The Pavilion Master has thought about this matter. After all, one should always strive for improvement. I hope Dao Saint Li is willing to help…”
Li Chun had been searching for talents over the past 100 years. He had gathered quite a number of cultivators from the nine domains. However, there were still not enough people. Otherwise, he would not have tried to recruit them the last time they met. The competition from the other nine halls made the task even more difficult.
Li Chun smiled and said, “That’s not a problem. Once you join the Dark Guards, we’ll be a family.”
At this moment, Lu Zhou interjected, “I invited you here today to discuss the matter. I don’t have to necessarily join the Dark Guards or Xuanyi Palace.”
Upon hearing this, Li Chun frowned. ‘Are you trying to play with me?’
Lu Zhou continued to say, “After all, there are ten halls in the Great Void.”
“…”
In other words, Xuanyi Palace was not the only choice.
Li Chun, who was slightly frightened by these words, said with a smile, “How can it be the same? Xuanyi Palace has high status. Apart from the Sacred Temple, we don’t have to care about the other nine halls at all. If you join the other halls, it might not be the same.” After a pause, he added, “Not everyone can join Xuanyi Palace. It’s best if you think this through.”
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “If you want me to join Xuanyi Palace, you have to agree to one condition.”
“Speak,” Li Chun said. His attitude was very different from before.
“Everyone here is my old friends. I hope they’ll be able to share my fate,” Lu Zhou said.
Li Chun swept his gaze across everyone and nodded. He thought that this was truly a case of a group of people riding on one person’s success. He briefly sensed their cultivation and thought it was not bad. Although some of them did not meet the standards, it was not impossible to accept them for Lu Zhou’s sake. Since he lacked manpower at this time, he had to lower his standards.
Li Chun sized them up for a moment before he suddenly asked with a strange expression, “I remember you have a few disciples with rather good cultivation. Where are they now?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou knew there were quite a number of things Li Chun was not privy to. It was not surprising. After all, his disciples were the owners of the Great Void Seeds and had been taken away by five supreme beings. It was likely as difficult as ascending to the heavens just to meet his disciples or learn anything about them. Even Shang Zhang, who was in the Great Void, had people constantly watching over Little Yuan’er and Conch, let alone the others who were in the Lost Lands.
Lu Zhou replied honestly, “I don’t know where they went.”
“What a pity,” Li Chun said. Then, after glancing at Chen Fu’s portrait, he asked, “Chen Fu’s time should have arrived a long time ago. Where are his disciples?”
Everyone was speechless. Clearly, Li Chun was desperate to recruit talents.
Lu Zhou sighed inwardly when he was reminded of Chen Fu’s death. He did not want the Great Void to disturb Chen Fu’s disciples so he said, “They had long left to live in seclusion.”
Li Chun revealed a regretful expression as he said, “What a pity. Chen Fu’s disciples are quite talented. With a little nurturing, they’d be good cultivators in the future. Alas, it’s too late for regret…”
After a moment, Li Chun said, “I can agree to your condition, but…” He paused for a moment before he continued to say, “Once you enter the Great Void, you have to abide by the rules of the Great Void.”
Before Lu Zhou could reply, Lu Li said, “Of course.”
No matter what, they had to enter the Great Void first. They could afford to take things slowly. If they could not enter the Great Void, it would be useless to say or do anything else.
“Alright!” Li Chun was exceptionally excited. He rose to his feet and continued to say, “I, Li Chun, will congratulate everyone first! From now on, you’re all people above many others. After three days, I’ll bring you up to the sky with me!”
