Chapter 1470 Great Abyss Land (2)

Ying Zhao let out a few cries and nodded.

Conch said without being prompted, Ying Zhao agrees with Senior Duanmu.

Duanmu Dian looked at Ying Zhao and said, What a clever fierce beast! Not bad, not bad. Lu Zhou asked, Have you come here before?

Duanmu Dian replied, When I received the mission to guard the Pillar of Destruction at Dunzhang, I came once, but I didnt go deep into the core. Alright, I can only accompany you up to here. Before I leave, I want to advise you again not to persist when its time to give

up.

Then, Duanmu Dian brought out three jade talismans and handed them to Lu Zhou as he said, These three jade talismans will send you to Dunzhangs Pillar of Destruction.

After putting the jade talismans away, Lu Zhou said, I know what to do.

Then, Duanmu Dian flashed to Duanmu Shengs side and said in a low voice, Kid, if youre afraid, come with me. Stay in Dunzhang, and Ill be able to protect you.

Duanmu Sheng said, The Duanmu clan never gives up. Its not the style of the Duanmu clan to be afraid of death.

Duanmu Dian was briefly stunned. Then, he laughed loudly before he patted Duanmu Shengs shoulder and said, As expected of the prodigy of our Duanmu clan! Duanmu Sheng remained silent. Duanmu Dian patted Duanmu Shengs shoulder heavily and asked again, Are you really not afraid?

Ive never been afraid ever since I joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, Duanmu Sheng replied.

Good, good, very good, Duanmu Dian said. Then, he sighed before he continued saying with a hint of reluctance, In fact, Im not leaving because Im afraid. If I have a choice, Id rather stay. Upon hearing this, Duanmu Sheng raised his head to look at Duanmu Dian.

Duanmu Dian expected Duanmu Sheng to scoff at his words. He did not expect Duanmu Sheng to mull over his words before saying, I understand. The bigger picture is more important.

Duanmu Sheng thought that it was a great idea to have Duanmu Dian as an insider in the Great Void. One could not always be unyielding. Upon hearing this, Duanmu Dian was moved. Then, he said to everyone, Take care.

Everyone bowed. Take care, senior.

At the same time

Ding! One of your disciples, Duanmu Sheng, has met the requirements to complete his apprentices.h.i.+p. Would you allow him to complete his apprentices.h.i.+p? Ding! Disciples will provide more rewards for their master after leaving their master and entering the world. ???!

1ore

With this, among Lu Zhous ten disciples, only Little Yuaner and Conch had yet to complete their apprentices.h.i.+ps. Previously, he did not allow them to complete their apprentices.h.i.+ps. Now that it had long pa.s.sed the one-year limit, he could allow them to complete their apprentices.h.i.+ps at any time. After 100 years, all his disciples no longer looked young. Perhaps, it was time to let them all complete their apprentices.h.i.+p. He thought about it for a moment before he silently said, Complete the apprentices.h.i.+p.

Ding! Your disciple, Duanmu Sheng, has successfully completed his apprentices.h.i.+p.

Ding! Youre rewarded with a random card. When you use this card, a rare item will be randomly awarded to you. Ding! After Duanmu Sheng completes his apprentices.h.i.+p, he can establish a sect and accept disciples. Maximum number of disciples: 3. Ding! You will no longer receive points for teaching Duanmu Sheng. Lu Zhou did not look at the random card. Instead, he said to the others, Lets go.

The environment here was rather bad. It was not suitable to stay any longer than necessary.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion flew along the forest in the direction of the Great Abyss Land.

Duanmu Dian returned to Dunzhang through the runic pa.s.sage. The entire journey took him less than 15 minutes.

He was in a good mood and flew leisurely. When he returned to his small courtyard near Dunzhangs Pillar of Destruction, he saw a person sitting on the rocking chair in his courtyard.

Temple Master?! Duanmu Dian exclaimed in shock.

The water-like figure seemed like it was enjoying itself as it rocked back and forth on the chair. Its eyes were closed, and the satisfied expression on its face made it look as though it was enjoying the moment. It continued rocking back and forth. It did not speak nor did it move to stand up.

Duanmu Dian moved to stand in front of the figure before he fell to his knees and said, I didnt know Temple Master was coming. Sorry for not welcoming you in advance. At this moment, the water-like translucent figure seemed to solidify into a man wearing a yellow robe and a crown. His body was suffused with a bright Saint Light. After an unknown amount of time had pa.s.sed, he finally said in a gentle and slow tone, You seem to have been away for quite a long time.

I lost my mount a long time ago and was reunited with it recently. I was so happy that I went to the southern mountain to hunt for food for it. Alas, I returned empty-handed, Duanmu Dian said.

Alright. The Temple Master opened his eyes and slowly rose from the rocking chair. Then, he said, Rise to your feet and speak.

After rising to his feet, Duanmu Dian asked, The Pillar of Destruction here has been peaceful. May I know what your orders are, Temple Master?

The Temple Master walked to the side of the small building with his hands on his back. He looked at the Pillar of Destruction in the distance and asked, How long have you been with the Great Void?

About 20,000 years, Duanmu Dian replied.

Time really flies The Temple Master sighed before he asked, How many Birth Charts do you have now?

Duanmu Dian answered honestly, 28.

Nearly 170,000 years of life Youre still very young, the Temple Master said. Thank you for your praise, Temple Master, Duanmu Dian said.

The Temple Master looked around before he looked at Duanmu Dian again and asked, Did any cultivators approach the pillar here recently?

Duanmu Dian replied, Yes. Then, he added, I chased the group of cultivators who didnt know the immensity of heaven and earth away. How dare they have covetous thoughts about the pillar! As long as Im here, no one will have a chance to approach Dunzhangs Pillar of Destruction!

The Temple Master looked at Duanmu Dian and nodded slightly. He turned around and looked outside the courtyard before he said, Alright.

Then, the Temple Masters body turned translucent again. It rippled like the water again as the Saint Light vanished. Then, he flew toward the horizon like a wisp of green smoke.

Duanmu Dian heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at the rocking chair before he bent down and touched the seat. His heart skipped a beat as he exclaimed, Its warm! He came with his true body!

In the core area of the Unknown Land.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion flew for five days, but they still did not see the Pillar of Destruction. Finally, they landed in a forest to rest and cultivate.

Lu Zhou looked at everyone as he said, Your cultivation bases have all improved greatly in the ancient formations. Were now in the Great Abyss Land so I need to understand your cultivation base. Yu Zhenghai, you will start.

Yu Zhenghai bowed and said, Master, Im rather slow. I just recently activated my 19th Birth Chart.

Yu Shangrong said directly and concisely, 13 leaves.

Since the cultivation path of severing the lotus could not be judged using common sense, Lu Zhou nodded and said, After the tenth leaf, each leaf you sprout is equivalent to 6 Birth Charts.

Duanmu Sheng said, I have 12 leaves.

With the corrosive energy, your strength is comparable to a Venerable Master. With the recognition from the Pillar of Destruction, your progress will be faster, Lu Zhou said.

Duanmu Sheng was delighted to hear this. Thank you for your praise, master!

Then, Duanmu Sheng said solemnly, I have 18 Birth Charts, master.

Lu Zhou stared at Mings.h.i.+ Yin silently and unblinkingly. This was not in line with Mings.h.i.+ Yins style of bragging. After a while, he asked, Do you really only have 18 Birth Charts?.

Before Mings.h.i.+ Yin could reply, Little Yuaner said, Fourth Senior Brother, master has the Golden Taixu Mirror that can reveal deceitful demons! You better answer honestly!

Mings.h.i.+ Yin nodded. Im telling the truth. After a moment, he said, Eh? What do you mean by reveal deceitful demons? Junior sister, are you calling me a deceitful demon? Little Yuaner giggled.

Lu Zhou raised his voice and said, Be serious.

Mings.h.i.+ Yin cleared his throat and said, Just like Eldest Senior Brother, I have 19 Birth Charts.

Lu Zhou nodded.

Mings.h.i.+ Yins talent was not bad, to begin with. Moreover, the Great Void Seeds effect was better on him compared to his first and second disciples. Apart from that, he was also the first to be recognized by the Pillar of Destruction. After being in the ancient formations, it was only natural that he progressed so much.

Then, Zhao Yue bowed and said, Im not talented and only have 12 leaves. You previously didnt cultivate for a while so you lagged behind the others by a lot. Its not easy for you to catch up to the others so dont belittle yourself, Lu Zhou said.

Thank you, master, Zhao Yue replied, overjoyed. Subsequently, Ye Tianxin said, Ive just activated my 16th Birth Chart.

You have Cheng Huangs help and the essence of the b.u.t.terfly Love Flower. No one below the level of a Venerable Master can beat you, Lu Zhou said.

Thank you for your praise, master, Ye Tianxin said.

At this time, Zhu Honggong stepped forward before he proudly said, I have 12 leaves, but Im close to sprouting the 13th leaf! Then, Zhu Honggong waited for his master to praise him.

In the end, Lu Zhou only said, Keep up the good work.

A hint of antic.i.p.ation could be seen in Lu Zhous eyes as he turned to look at Little Yuaner and asked, Yuaner, what about you?

After all, before entering the ancient formations, Little Yuaner already activated ten Birth Charts. Her ability to activate Birth Charts consecutively was really enviable.
