Chapter 1596: Going to the Great Void (2)

Li Chun said with a smile, “You’ll all feel a little comfortable the first time traveling through the core passage. Just bear with it for a little while.”
The others nodded.
In fact, the core passage was no different from an ordinary passage; it was just that it contained more energy.
15 minutes passed in just a blink of an eye.
When the light dissipated, they found themselves at the top of a mountain peak.
The clouds floated lazily in the blue sky. The wind was gentle, and the sun was bright.
There was a 30,000-mile river that led to the sea in the east, and a 5,000-foot-tall mountain that towered in the sky. This was the scene that greeted them.
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were in a daze. They had been living in the imbalance for so long now. For 200 years, they had not seen a clear sky or a blazing sun. They had all imagined the beautiful scenery, the life, and the environment in the Great Void, and they thought it would definitely be better than any places in the nine domains. However, what they were seeing now still exceeded their expectations. To say that the Great Void was like paradise on earth was still not doing it justice.
“This, this is the Great Void?” Pan Zhong’s mouth was agape, and his expression was one of shock.
In the past, the nine domains did not lack beautiful sceneries. However, they all paled in comparison to the Great Void.
Li Chun stood his hands on his back and said with a smile, “Everyone, welcome! This is the Great Void that everyone yearns for.”
“Is the Great Void really in the sky?”
“The Great Void has always been above everything. This isn’t a height ordinary humans can reach,” Li Chun said.
Meng Changdong said, filled with praise, “How can something like this be created by humans?”
“I really don’t know about this. However, if you’re interested in this, there are many experts in the Great Void. You can speak to them,” Li Chun said. Ever since he joined the Great Void, he never gave much thought to this matter.
There were also many natives of Great Void, born and raised here, who did not care about or know about this matter as well.
At this time, Lu Zhou said, “The earth gave birth to the ten Pillars of Destruction. In one night, they lifted the Great Void.”
Li Chun glanced at Lu Zhou and asked, “Brother Lu, how do you know?”
“I’ve seen it in my dreams,” Lu Zhou said expressionlessly.
“…”
‘Your joke isn’t funny at all…’
Everyone enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the Great Void for a while. They enjoyed the rich vitality energy and the faint Great Void energy that permeated the air. For a moment, they were all in a daze.
“From what I know, only the soil from the Great Void and the Great Void Seeds emit Great Void energy. Why is the Great Void energy so rich here? Even the air is permeated by the energy…”
With this, it was no wonder that the cultivators of the Great Void were powerful. With such natural advantage, it was enough to crush the nine domains.
“The ten Pillars of Destruction that lead to the Great Void are like a well of water,” Li Chun said with a smile before he reminded them, “Don’t openly talk or ask about this matter. We all know this, but we don’t speak about it. Moreover, there are other taboos here that I have to tell you about.”
Lu Li said, “Please tell us, Dao Saint Li.”
“First, don’t talk about whether or not the sky will collapse. It’s none of our business. Second, the Sacred Temple is in charge of everything related to the balance of heaven and earth. Third, don’t talk of the Unholy One no matter how curious you are. Fourth, don’t wander around the Great Void especially when you’re new to it. Xuanyi Palace corresponds with Huantan’s Pillar of Destruction and occupies an unknown amount of space. It’s rather big, but you can still accidentally wander to any of the nine halls,” Li Chun said.
Then, Li Chun pointed up ahead before he continued to say, “There’s a passage over there that leads to Xuanyi Palace.”
Everyone followed Li Chun as he flew. It did not take long for them to arrive by the side of the passage.
Li Chun pointed to the west and said, “There are quite a lot of divine beasts in the Great Void, and we have beast tamers to tame them. If you wander around and encounter one you can’t deal with, I won’t be responsible for it.”
Meng Changdong said, “Don’t worry, Dao Saint Li.”
Then, everyone followed Li Chun and entered the passage.
Swoosh!
The passage lit up. This time, the journey was much smoother than the one before. In just a moment, they arrived at the square in front of a towering hall.
A three-legged cauldron stood in the middle of the square.
“The main hall is also the great hall of Xuanyi Palace. The Dark Guards are mostly situated in the side halls,” Li Chun said.
As they admired the architecture of the buildings in Xuanyi Palace. From time to time, they would meet curious cultivators along the way.
When the curious cultivators saw them, they would smile and say, “There are finally newcomers in Xuanyi Palace.”
Lu Zhou ignored these people and led Lu Zhou and the others to the base of the Dark Guards. He said, “This is the Dark Guard’s base. According to the old rules, you’ll be grouped into a team of newcomers. Brother Lu, you’ll be the leader of the team. I’ll take my leave now to report to the hall. When the time is right, I’ll bring you to meet the emperor.”
Meng Changdong cupped his fists together and said, “Thank you.”
Li Chun looked at Lu Zhou and thought to himself helplessly, ‘This fellow still can’t put down his pride… Forget it.’
Following that, Li Chun flew toward the main hall.
…
It did not take long before Li Chun arrived at the main hall of Xuanyi Palace, one of the ten great halls. As soon as he entered the hall, he became respectful, and his expression turned solemn. He said, “Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Commander Zhang.”
Xuanyi, the Master of Xuanyi Palace, and Zhang He, the Commander of Xuanyi Palace, turned around and looked at Li Chun at the same time.
Xuan Yi said, “No need for formalities.”
Li Chun straightened his back before he said with a smile, “This time, I managed to recruit 19 people to join the Dark Guards.”
Zhang He looked surprised. “19? You managed to recruit quite a lot of people this time.”
“Since Xuanyi Palace is lacking manpower, I’m doing my best to recruit people,” Li Chun replied.
“How are these people’s cultivation and talent?” Zhang He asked.
Li Chun said, “Overall, they’re good. However, some are more talented than others. I’m sure Commander Zhang will be satisfied with them. Although some are slightly lacking, since they know each other, I made the decision to bring all of them here.”
Zhang He nodded. “Well done. Did you tell them about the rules of the Great Void?”
“I did. All they have to do now is to adapt to life in the Great Void,” Li Chun replied.
Zhang He said, “The competition for the commanders is drawing near. I hope these people can adapt before then…”
“Commander Zhang, don’t worry. These people definitely won’t disappoint you,” Li Chun said.
At this moment, Xuanyi said, “All cultivators above the Dao Saint state can challenge any of the ten halls in the once-in-100-year competition for the position of commander. Zhang He, don’t disappoint me.”
Zhang He bowed and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I’ll do all I can to protect the position of Commander of Xuanyi Palace.”
The once-in-a-hundred-year competition for the position of commander in the ten halls was something the Sacred Temple came up with 100,000 years ago. It was a way to give lower-level cultivators to advance, but it was also a way to keep the ten halls in check. As long as the competition existed, the commanders of the ten halls would be changed, and the Hall Masters of the ten halls would not be able to easily cultivate trusted aides.
“Do you know who your opponent is?”
“I received a letter from the Azure Emperor. If there aren’t any unforeseen circumstances, my opponent should be a cultivator by his side,” Zhang He said.
“The Azure Emperor…” Xuanyi sighed softly before he said, “He left the Great Void so long ago and lived in seclusion in the Lost Land. Now that the Great Void is safe and sound, he wants to return….”
Zhang He said confidently, “If the Azure Emperor wants to return, he’d have to see what the Sacred Temple thinks about it.”
“You have a point. I don’t believe Ming Xin will watch idly if the masters of the ten halls are replaced by those supreme beings whose loyalty isn’t with the Great Void,” Xuanyi said.
Zhang He nodded.
At this time, Li Chun said, “There aren’t many experts around the Azure Emperor. He doesn’t have many Dao Saints around him, and he doesn’t have a single Great Dao Saint around him. Don’t tell me he plans to personally challenge Commander Zhang?”
After all, it would be beneath the Azure Emperor to challenge Zhang He for his position.
Zhang He said, “100 years ago, the Azure Emperor found two owners of the Great Void Seeds. It’s said they’re Dao Saints or have the strength of one at least.”
“The owners of the Great Void Seeds?”
“I learned about their existence about 70 years ago. One of them is skilled in saber and loves the saber like he loves his life. Similarly, the other is a skilled swordsman and treats the sword like his life. Although they’re talented, they’re still far from being able to defeat me,” Zhang He said.
“Don’t underestimate your opponents,” Xuanyi said.
“Understood,” Zhang He said before he straightened his back and looked at Li Chun and said, “Dao Saint Li, I’m very interested in the 19 people you brought back. Bring me to meet them.”
Li Chun could not wait to do so. After all, it was not his job to educate the newcomers or correct their attitudes. He moved to the side and made an inviting gesture as he said, “Please, Commander Zhang.”
