Chapter 1620: The Reveal (2)

Shang Zhang had still tried to maintain a hint of courtesy for the sake of Little Yuaner and Conch, but now, with those words, it was all gone. He scoffed and said, Why do you act as though the world is drunk, and youre the only one sober? Do you think everything the Great Void tries to maintain is fake?

Lu Zhou noticed that Shang Zhangs att.i.tude had changed slightly and thought that he could not go too far in probing. He asked in return, Ten celestial stars aligning in a row is indeed a heaven and earth phenomenon, but what does it have to do with the collapse of a Pillar of Destruction?

Shang Zhang said, Every time theres a phenomenon, the pillars will shake. Doesnt that explain it all?

Lu Zhou pointed at Wu Xing and asked, His ancestor is the grand shaman of the Great Void, right?

So what? Shang Zhang asked.

Grand shamans deal in witchcraft and sorcery, not astrology. In ancient times, the art of astrology had already been lost. After the land split, how did shamans gain the ability to observe the stars, prophesize, and determine whats good and bad? Lu Zhou asked.

This Shang Zhang was at a loss for words.

What were witchcraft and sorcery? It was the kind of power that harnessed the power of nature and psychokinesis. It was divided into the dark arts and white arts. White arts pract.i.tioners guided and guarded humanity while the dark arts pract.i.tioners cursed humanity, corroded their souls, and corrupted their hearts. No matter which one it was, it did not include astrology.

Lu Zhou had the memories of the Unholy One. With the Unholy Ones knowledge and memories and his own confidence, he was certain this matter was false. He raised his voice and said, Answer me.

Wu Xing endured the pain and said, My ancestor is skilled in many different cultivation paths. Whats so strange about him knowing astrology and knowing how to read the stars?

Lu Zhou said, Then, summon him here to talk to me. It just so happens that I know a thing or two about astrology.

Wu Xings heart trembled.

Shang Zhang seemed slightly stunned.

Finally, Wu Xing said, My ancestor has just come out of seclusion and is still resting in Xuan Meng Hall. If you want to see him, you can come with me to Xuan Meng Hall.

At this moment, Shang Zhang asked, What does it mean if the grand shaman doesnt know astrology?

Lu Zhou scoffed. If he doesnt know astrology, how could the ten celestial stars alignment be inauspicious? How could your daughter be the harbinger of disaster? After that, he said in a low voice, Its just as I thought, youre a fool. Whats so hard to understand?

Shang Zhang had lived for a very long time. He had experienced the sufferings of the human world and felt the coldness and warmth of cultivation. For the first time in a very long time, Lu Zhou caused his hands to tremble. He understood what Lu Zhou meant.

Wu Xing grew extremely agitated. He cried out, Slander! Its absolute slander! My ancestor was not the only one who witnessed the disastrous effect of the arrival of the harbinger of disaster! There were many powerful experts in the Great Void who saw it as well! When the ten celestial stars aligned, the Pillars of Destruction really did shake! If it were not for the ten halls, the Great Void would have fallen!

Lu Zhou ignored Wu Xing and said, In ancient times, Wu Zu successfully became a supreme being. As a result, he became the only shaman in the Great Void who was a supreme being. He enjoyed high status and respect. Unfortunately, he was not satisfied with this. In order to seek the path to become a greater divine supreme being or even a divine supreme being, he tried everything, including those ancient forbidden techniques. 110,000 years ago, in the Great Rift Valley, in the eastern part of the Great Void, the first splitting occurred. The vegetation within 30,000 miles withered, and countless fierce beasts died mysteriously. Corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers. The Great Void investigated the matter, but the death toll was too high so they did not announce it to the world. That incident was called the Fatal Fission.

The entire hall was silent.

Lu Zhou was like an old man, telling the younger generation stories from the past.

In the hall, there were only three people who did not doubt the veracity of the story. Their expressions were one of horror and shock. As for the others, their expressions were one of disbelief.

What does this have to do with my ancestor? Wu Xing asked.

Shang Zhang said, Finish your story. I dont like to be kept in suspense.

Lu Zhou was not in a hurry. He slowly said, At that time, a cultivator found a witchcraft mark within the area affected by the split. Only supreme beings can use this mark. Do you need to spell everything out for you?

Wu Xing cried out again, agitated, Youre talking nonsense again! Its been 110,000 years! You can say whatever you want, but what evidence do you have? Xuan Meng Hall wont stand for this slander! Your Majesty, you have to seek justice for me and my ancestor!

Shang Zhang also felt that Lu Zhous words were a little outrageous. He asked, Are you saying the person responsible for the Fatal Fission is Wu Zu?

It seems like youre not completely stupid.

Do you have evidence? Shang Zhang asked.

Im all the evidence you need.

These words were extremely infuriating. Shang Zhang felt his heart tighten as he asked again, What exactly are you trying to say?

At this moment, Xuanyi could no longer stand it so he said, What dont you understand? Wu Zu wanted to use your daughter as a sacrifice so he spread rumors about the ten calamitous stars to confuse the ma.s.ses! How despicable!

These words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples.

Shang Zhang fell eerily silent.

Everyone looked at Xuanyi and Lu Zhou in disbelief. They found this hard to accept.

Kong Junhuas mind went blank as she staggered backward.

It was easy to convince those who had a weak will even if one did not have evidence. As a mother, Kong Junhua naturally loved her daughter. When others called her daughter a jinx, she had questioned them, challenged them, and confronted them the most. However, in the end, she was left with no choice and had to bow down to reality.
