Lu Zhou had come to Yu Zhongs Pillar of Destruction because he had seen the light from the glazed ceramic. The trip to Great Han had made him understand that the Purple Glazed Ceramics were tools for illuminating the Pillars of Destruction and that they were very rare.

Since there were ten Pillars of Destruction, there should be ten Purple Glazed Ceramics.

Lu Zhou suspected that his Purple Glazed Ceramic came from the largest and tallest Pillar of Destruction, which was at Ren Ding, the heart of the Unknown Land.

The Purple Glazed Ceramic that Qiu Wenjian obtained should also be the real thing. It was just inferior to Lu Zhous.

Qin Renyue looked at the Pillar of Destruction that towered into the fog and muttered, No matter how many times Ive been here, it still looks so awe-inspiring.

Lu Zhou said with a sigh, The person who created the pillars must be peerless. After all, they support an entire land that suppresses the world.

Qin Renyue seemed to understand and not understand Lu Zhous words at the same time. He asked, Brother Lu, what do you mean?

Lu Zhou pointed at the Pillar of Destruction that towered into the black fog and said, Its exactly what you think. The Pillars of Destruction support the Great Void.

Qin Renyue:

As Venerable Master, Qin Renyues knowledge and experience naturally surpa.s.sed those of ordinary people. He had read many ancient books to look for answers, and he had seen many clues that alluded to the Great Void being in the Unknown Land. However, that was it. No one knew exactly where the Great Void was located in the Unknown Land. Although the Great Void had invited many peerless cultivators, Venerable Masters, and Saints from the nine domains in the past, none who left returned.

Occasionally, people from the Great Void would appear to carry out missions, but they were arrogant and disdained to speak to those from the nine domains. In fact, even some cultivators from the Great Void did not know exactly where the Great Void was located since they relied on teleportation talismans and runic pa.s.sages to go in and out of the Great Void.

Moreover, the Unknown Land was really too vast. It was difficult to get a full view of everything.

After a moment, Qin Renyue asked, Brother Lu, if the Great Void is really at the top of the Pillars of Destruction, then youre not really going to fly up there, are you?

Lu Zhou stared unblinkingly at the Pillar of Destruction that resembled a humongous chimney as he replied, Of course, Im going to fly up there, but not now.

Qin Renyue felt relieved upon hearing these words.

Lu Zhou pointed at the Pillar of Destruction and said, Lets go and have a look.

Qin Renyue immediately said, No, no, no. Something will definitely happen. The Great Void is particularly strict when it comes to the Pillars of Destruction. Theres no Tian Wu or Lord Zhennan here, and the black dragon has also

Lu Zhou interjected, Alright. You wait here. Im going in.

Swoos.h.!.+

Lu Zhou flew up into the sky along the Pillar of Destruction. With the pillar as a guide, he would not lose his way in the darkness of the black fog.

Lu Zhou flew for 15 minutes before he felt the vitality energy begin to thin and the pressure began to bore down on him. Venerable Masters could still continue flying up past this point, but most cultivators would have to stop at this point.

Lu Zhou looked at the Pillar of Destruction curiously. If the Great Void was located so high up, was the environment up there good?

He shook his head. No matter what, everything was just his speculation before he could confirm it. However, based on Lan Xihes strength and the formation, the environment in the Great Void should be much better than those in the nine domains.

The wind whistled in Lu Zhous ears as he continued to fly up. Fortunately, the protective energy of a Great Venerable Master was capable of dealing with the wind.

After a while, he could feel his vitality energy was almost exhausted. The pressure had grown even heavier as well. Since he could not mobilize the energy in his surroundings, he could only use the energy from his Dantians sea of Qi.

Who on earth is capable of creating the Pillars of Destruction? Lu Zhou wondered again. It was so high up that even he, a Great Venerable Master, was pressured by the height.

After an unknown period of time, Lu Zhou came to a stop.

A vacuum zone?

It was relatively calm here. The glazed ceramic shone brighter here due to the slightly thinning fog.

Lu Zhou frowned. Going any higher will be extremely dangerous

Lu Zhou looked at the Pillar of Destruction that had a diameter of more than tens of thousands of feet. Then, he pushed his hand out.

Boom!

The palm seal hit the Pillar of Destruction, leaving a mark behind. However, in just a short moment, the mark silently disappeared.

The higher it is, the studier it becomes? Lu Zhou was inwardly shocked.

At this moment, a terrifying thought appeared in Lu Zhous mind: if the Pillars of Destruction were destroyed, would the Great Void return to the world?

In some of the ancient books he had read, some of the great ancestors of the past had prayed fervently for the Great Voids return to the world. When the world was in chaos, the Great Void that represented the peaceful and prosperous era of mankind left the land and came to the sky. Was it abandonment or was it for the pursuit of something else?

Lu Zhou continued launching dozens of palm seals. All of them hit the Pillar of Destruction, and the results were the same as before; all the marks disappeared without a trace after a short while.

Swoos.h.!.+

Lu Zhou rose about 1,000 meters above the vacuum zone. In just an instant, heavy pressure a.s.saulted him from all directions. He brought out his Purple Glazed Ceramic and tossed it out.

Go!

The Purple Glazed Ceramic shone brilliantly like a moon. It cut through the fog and the clouds, dispelling the darkness.

Then, Lu Zhou joined his palms together.

Golden Buddhas Body!

Buzz!

The Golden Buddhas Body helped Lu Zhou resist the pressure.

He hovered in the air, waiting for the return of his Purple Glazed Ceramic.

Meanwhile, Qin Renyue was on tenterhooks as he paced back and forth. After a long time had pa.s.sed, seeing that Lu Zhou had yet to return, he flew around the surroundings to check for abnormal movements.

When there were powerful fierce beasts pa.s.sing by, he would hide.

In the Great Void.

In front of the Sacred Hall.

A group of cultivators gathered and waited silently.

After an unknown amount of time had pa.s.sed, a voice rang from within the hall.

Have you investigated the matter regarding the Nine-clawed Black Dragon?

A monk bowed and said, I have sent a patrol team along with the frost dragon to Yu Zhong and Great Han. Theyve yet to return.

Wheres the Holy Maiden?

The Holy Maiden should be on her way back.

As soon as these words were said, Lan Xihe and the blue-clad female attendant appeared in the distance.

The cultivators in the vicinity looked at her with gazes filled with admiration and awe, instinctively making a path for her.

Lan Xihes limpid eyes and expression were the same as usual as she looked in the direction of the hall and said, Lan Xihe greets the Hall Master.

Dispense with the formality.

Ive investigated the matter regarding the black dragon, but I still cant find the culprit, Lan Xihe said.

Everyone exchanged a glance. Even the Holy Maiden went to Yu Zhong to investigate the matter and found nothing.

The Hall Master did not seem angry by the lack of results. He only said, Then continue investigating.

At this time, Lan Xihe said, However, theres one thing I dont understand.

Speak.

The Halcyon Bird should have only listened to me. Why did it secretly leave with Yang Liansheng? Lan Xihe asked.

Upon hearing these words, the others were confused. They did not understand what Lan Xihe was trying to say.

Mr. Ouyang has already investigated this matter. The Halcyon Bird and Yang Liansheng colluded with Yue Qi. The trio had already received the punishment they deserved and paid for it with their lives, dying together with Ling Guang.

Lan Xihe furrowed her brows slightly. Then how did Pavilion Master Lus disciple appear on Mount Halcyon? Its impossible for him to go there if no one guides him there. There cant be such a coincidence.

After a moment, Lan Xihe said again, The Halcyon Bird has always obeyed my orders. It wouldnt leave for no reason.

What do you mean?

Someones manipulating the incidents in the dark. I demand a thorough investigation, Lan Xihe said.

A cultivator said, Are you doubting Mr. Ouyang?

Lan Xihe shook his head and said in a loud and clear voice, No. I agree with the conclusion that Mr. Ouyang arrived at. However, I want to thoroughly investigate the matter to find out whos manipulating this behind the scenes. The culprit cant go unpunished.

Everyone remained for a moment before they agreed with Lan Xihe one after another.

I agree with the Holy Maiden.

Me too.

I agree as well.

After a long time, the voice rang from the Sacred Hall again.

Then, well do as the Holy Maiden wishes.

Understood.

Clank!

At this moment, the Scales of Justice at the back began to creak and fluctuate greatly before it returned to its original state.

The cultivators turned around. Their eyes were filled with shock. The imbalance had always crept up slowly since ancient times. This sudden rise and fall surprised everyone.

What happened?

The formation under the Scales of Justice. Something must have disturbed the balance.

Swoos.h.!.+

At this moment, a black-clad figure appeared above everyone.

Everyone fell silent.

The black-clad figure smiled and said, Why dont I go and take a look?

The Sacred Hall was silent.

The voice rang from the Sacred Hall again.

Old Jiang, leave this small matter to them.

The black-clad figure said, Its fine. If theres a need, Ill go.

With that, the black-clad figure vanished into thin air.

Boom!

An explosion rang from the Pillar of Destruction.

The earth trembled and the fog in the sky surged violently.

At this time, Lu Zhou, who was still hovering in the air, saw something bright shooting toward him. It was the Purple Glazed Ceramic.

Lu Zhou smiled as he extended his hand. Come!

The Purple Glazed Ceramic that was like a shooting star tore through s.p.a.ce and returned to Lu Zhous hand.

The sky dimmed immediately.

There was no time to sense the Purple Glazed Ceramics changes now. He descended swiftly through the fog and whistling wind.

Qin Renyue heard a clap of thunder and instinctively looked up. After a while, he saw Lu Zhou emerging from the fog like an immortal. He called out, Brother Lu!

Now that Lu Zhous vision was no longer obscured and the pressure was gone, he was like a fish in water. He quickly used the divine power and the power of the Dao and landed at the foot of the Pillar of Destruction in just a blink of an eye.

Yu Zhong was completely dark at this moment.

Lets go, Lu Zhou said.

Alright!

The duo did not waste time and made their way toward the runic pa.s.sage.

Buzz!

In just a moment, the duo vanished from sight.

In the Evil Sky Pavilion.

The eastern pavilion was quiet.

Yu Shangrong stood on a huge boulder outside of the eastern pavilion and stared at the place where his master lived. He was curious; why had his master not returned yet?

Mr. Second, Mr. First has returned, Pan Zhong said.

Alright. Yu Shangrongs expression was the same as usual.

Pan Zhong said tentatively, Mr. First seems to be in a good mood

Yu Shangrong wanted to say something but held back in the end. He only let out a soft sigh before he flew away nimbly. After flying for about ten minutes, he turned around and said, Old Sevenths death dealt a big blow to him. From now on, dont mention the name Si Wuya in front of him.

Understood, Pan Zhong said as he watched Yu Shangrong fly away to the back of the mountain. In just a short moment, he saw energy swords lighting up the sky at the back of the mountain. He said helplessly, Mr. Second has started practicing his swordsmans.h.i.+p alone again..

At this time, Zhou Jifeng flew over from afar and said with a sigh, How can we not understand his feelings?

As soon as Zhou Jifengs voice fell, Yu Zhenghai appeared in the distance.

Mr. First, Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng called out and bowed in unison.

Yu Zhenghai nodded before he asked, Wheres Old Second?

Hes gone to practice his swordsmans.h.i.+p at the back of the mountain, Pan Zhong replied.

Yu Zhenghai said, Old Sevenths death has dealt a great blow to him. From now on, dont mention the name Si Wuya in front of him.

Understood. The duo nodded quickly.

With that, Yu Zhenghai flew away.

In the icy and dark depths of the Endless Ocean.

Sea beasts swam back and forth occasionally.

Those with a keen sense of smell were now gathered at the bottom of the sea, attracted by a fragrant smell. They swam back and forth, searching for the source of the fragrance. When they finally saw a faint light, they rushed toward it immediately.

They ruled under the sea. There were no humans to stop them after all. They swam unimpeded toward the bottom of the sea.

When they finally saw a glowing black coffin, which was the source of the fragrance, they began to charge at it in a frenzy as though they had lost their minds.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The runes on the black coffin would release energy seals, killing the weaker sea beasts that dared to approach.

Fresh blood dyed the water at the bottom of the sea red immediately as the carca.s.ses of the weaker sea beasts floated in the water.

Perhaps, the terror of the depths of the sea was beyond human understanding. When Yu Zhenghai sealed the coffin and dropped it into the Endless Ocean, he likely did not expect there would be so many sea beasts.

Just a school of weaker sea beasts had millions of sea beasts.

On their own turf without human intervention, the sea beasts were even more unbridled and vicious.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

They kept slamming against the black coffin as the m.u.f.fled sounds of collision rang underwater.

Crack!

Under their relentless effort, a crack finally appeared on the coffin.

Upon seeing this, the sea beasts grew even more frenzied. It was as though they could already see the delicious food before their eyes as the smell of the fragrance grew even stronger, wafting out of the crack.

The scent caused the sea beasts to lose their rationality immediately. They attacked the coffin crazily and even attacked each other to fight for the food.

Blood continued to flow as the water churned under the sea.

Some of the sea beasts carca.s.ses had already floated up, on their way to the surface.

The underwater fight continued. Alas, no one was able to witness this spectacular scene.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Crack!

Another crack appeared.

At this moment, a huge sea beast charged over and slammed into the coffin, killing 10,000 sea beasts in just one go.

Boom!

Seawater shot up, forming a tall wave of blood in the air.
