Chapter 1567 Comprehending the Great Dao (2)

Shang Zhang glanced at the two girls before he accompanied Ming Xin out.

When they were outside, Shang Zhang asked with a smile, What do you think?

Whether or not theyll be a great help to the Great Void will depend on you, Ming Xin said.

Yes, Shang Zhang said before he sighed and added, Theyre young and ignorant. Theyre just newborn calves unafraid of the tiger. They often talk back to me, but for some reason, Im not angry at all.

Ming Xin remained silent.

Upon seeing this, Shang Zhang sighed again and continued to say, If my poor daughter were still around, shed be around their age now.

Ming Xins expression changed slightly as he said solemnly, There are some things in the past that you shouldnt talk about.

Shang Zhang only looked into the distance.

Ming Xin did not know what Shang Zhang was thinking, and he only said, If you want to blame someone, blame the person who stole the Great Void Seeds.

I only blame myself, Shang Zhang said.

Ming Xin was silent.

Shang Zhang sighed. Forget it. He changed the topic and asked, Is the Unholy One really dead?

Ming Xin said expressionlessly, I dont know.

ILII

Are you afraid of him? Ming Xin asked.

Shang Zhang scoffed. Why would I be afraid of him? Im not an idiot like Tu Wei.

I hope so.

With that, Ming Xin vanished into thin air.

Shang Zhang flashed and returned to the area near Little Yuaner and Conch. He looked at them from afar and wondered inwardly, Theyre still there. Whats Ming Xin, that old fox, up to? Qi Sheng is his man. Could they be working together to manipulate me?

Shang Zhang felt that something was amiss. He walked over and sensed Little Yuaner and Conch; they were the same as before.

When Little Yuaner and Conch saw Shang Zhang, Little Yuaner said, Here we go

again.

Shang Zhang smiled and said, Little girl, you just came to the Great Void not long ago. Do you want to go out and take a look?

Can I? Little Yuaner was slightly surprised.

Of course.

Children were children, after all. There was nothing wrong with coaxing them once in a while.

Lets bring Conch along as well, Little Yuaner said. She knew Conch was from the Great Void, after all.

Since Conch was captured, she had been wanting to go out and have a look. However, she clearly did not have the qualifications nor was she in the condition to do so.

Shang Zhang looked at Conch. To be honest, he preferred and valued Little Yuaner more. When he heard Little Yuaner wanted Conch to come along, his interest was immediately dampened.

Conch asked very politely, Emperor Shang Zhang, can you bring me out to have a look as well?

Shang Zhangs expression was clearly not as good as before.

Upon seeing this, Little Yuaner said, If you dont want to, then forget it.

Shang Zhang said, Im a man of my word.

With a wave of his hand, energy shrouded the two girls.

Following that, the three of them looked like shooting stars as they shot out into the sky.

The sky was blue, and there were no clouds in the sky. The mountains and rivers were beautiful and magnificent. The plants and trees were lush. It was as though they had entered a spring painting with mysterious valleys and forests where mountains and rivers intersected. There was a vast and endless ancient road, and a sky-high platform.

What do you think? Shang Zhang was usually busy. Now that he was touring his territory, he discovered how beautiful and refres.h.i.+ng his territory was.

Little Yuaner, who was affected by the beautiful scenery, could not help but nod and say, Its really beautiful.

However, as soon as Little Yuaner finished speaking, she seemed to realize she had misspoken. She quickly shook her head and said, Its just average. It cant compare to my hometown at all.

At this time, Conch pointed to a platform in the sky and asked, Whats that?

Thats the Chao Tian Platform. Its used as a sacrificial altar to wors.h.i.+p the heavens and earth, Shang Zhang replied.

Conch nodded before she pointed at a lake in the distance and asked, Whats that place?

Thats the Heavenly Jade Lake. Its as vast as the sky, and clear as crystal, Shang Zhang said. Inwardly, he thought to himself, Im a divine emperor, but now, Ive been reduced to a tour guide for two hostages

Shang Zhang suppressed his displeasure. However, when he looked at the innocent and pretty girls, he felt his anger disappear again.

Subsequently, the trio flew into a strange forest. There was a mound in the forest.

Little Yuaner pointed at it and asked, Whats

that?

Shang Zhang frowned. Dont ask.

Its fine if you dont tell me. My master will tell me in the future, Little Yuaner said.

Shang Zhang: ?

Does this mean shes willing to accept a master?

Shang Zhangs frown eased, but his expression was still a little solemn. Then, he said lightly, Thats a grave.

Whose? Little Yuaner asked, slightly surprised.

Shang Zhang calmly replied, My daughters.

Little Yuaner muttered, I didnt ask on purpose

Shang Zhang let out a long sigh. If she were still around, shed be around the same age as you. He no longer wanted to talk about this so he changed the topic and said, I have a Dao hall in the southeast. If youre willing, you can cultivate there. I can satisfy all of your requests, but I have one condition: both of you must be loyal to me from now on.

Little Yuaner rolled her eyes before she said, Ill think about it.

I have plenty of time.

Then, three of them flew in the southeastern direction like shooting stars.

In just a blink of an eye, another ten years pa.s.sed.

In the abyss.

The power of the earth continued to grow.

When one looked down from above, one would see what looked like a dark sky filled with stars. Among the stars, there was one that was particularly bright and dazzling. Not only that, but energy was gathering from all directions toward the bright star.

Buzz! Buzz!

The star hummed before it suddenly shot out like a shooting star and flew in the abyss. It lasted for about 15 minutes before it returned to its original position.

Boom!

With the star in the center, a vast energy swept out in the abyss. Following that, a beam of light shot up.

Rumble!

Rocks fell into the abyss without stopping.

At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly opened his eyes. What is s.p.a.ce? What is time? Why am I here?

Realization suddenly dawned on Lu Zhou. He sensed the energy in the abyss; it felt like seawater. He lifted his hand and tried to feel them. Every time he moved his hand, the s.p.a.ce would ripple and distort.

Lu Zhou felt as though he had been dreaming for a very long time.

It took a while before Lu Zhou finally recovered his senses. He sighed. Im still in the abyss.

He looked at the system interface and found that it was still upgrading.

Previously, this did not happen. He did not know why he would suddenly wake up before the upgrading process was completed.

Seeing that he was awake, he took the chance and brought out Gou Chens life heart to activate another Birth Chart. After embedding it into his Birth Palace, he meditated on the Heavenly Writing.

In less than 15 minutes, he was immersed in his meditative state again and lost all his senses again.

At the same time.

Dunzang began to shake violently. It took a while before it gradually calmed down.

Coincidentally, Dunzang corresponded with Shang Zhang Hall in the Great Void.

Shang Zhang frowned as he looked at the mountains and rivers, not knowing what happened.

Little Yuaner asked fearfully, There are earthquakes in the Great Void as well?

Conch said, Maybe

Its so dangerous here! I felt like I was going to fall earlier, Little Yuaner said.

Dont talk nonsense! Shang Zhang said reproachfully.

At this time, five figures appeared in front of Shang Zhang and bowed.

Your Majesty, we found out that the tremors came from Dunzang.. Dunzang?

The Pillar of Destruction in Dunzang has already collapsed. An energy storm has appeared in the abyss. Its possible Its possible that the storm caused a spatial tear that affected the Great Void.

Upon hearing this, Little Yuaner asked, horrified, Is the sky going to fall?

With me around, the sky wont collapse. I dont want the sky to collapse Little Yuaner muttered.

Upon hearing this, Shang Zhang asked, Why?

My master once said that if the sky collapses, hell hold it up. I dont want my master to carry such a burden, Little Yuaner said.

You have a master?

Yes.

Wheres he?

Upon hearing this, Little Yuaner began to cry softly. With tears in her eyes, she said, He fell into an abyss and died.

Shang Zhang did not know if he was happy or sad. He only said, Im sorry for your loss, but the dead cant be brought back to life.

Shang Zhang thought to himself, Tu Wei and the Unholy One are to blame for this matter. Countless lives were lost due to their battle.

Little Yuaner wiped her tears away and said, I want to go to Dunzang to have a look.

Shang Zhang nodded. Your filial piety is commendable. Ill grant you your wish.
