Yan Zhenluo handed one fire lotus to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu was speechless. When he regained his senses, he said, “Old sir, didn’t we agree that I’ll have one of everything? This… This clearly isn’t it…”
“Hm?”
“Ah, i-it’s nothing,” Zhao Yu hurriedly said before he put the fire lotus away. Then, he stared at Yan Zhenluo tying the bag up.
At this moment, Lu Li walked over. He pointed at the Pillar of Destruction and asked, “Shall we go over there, Pavilion Master?”
Lu Zhou nodded and flew to the eastern side of the Pillar of Destruction.
The top of the pillar could not be seen at all. It was like a mountain that towered past the dark clouds and swirling black fog.
In just a short moment, everyone arrived at the eastern side of the Pillar of Destruction.
The surface of the pillar was grainy and uneven.
“The diameter of the pillar is likely about 1,000 meters.”
From afar, they did not think much of the Pillar of Destruction. However, now that they were so close, they realized how thick it was.
“Master, this way…” Little Yuan’er called out as she pointed to an entrance that was carved out on the Pillar of Destruction.
Everyone rushed over.
The entrance looked like it was man-made.
Due to Lu Wu’s size, it could only wait outside while the others entered the Pillar of Destruction.
“Watch out for traps.”
a.s.suming the pillar’s diameter was 1,000 meters, they reached the interior after they were 300-400 meters in. There were no traps so far.
Everyone was puzzled when they had a good look at the pillar’s interior. Needless to say, the interior was circular. Nothing could be seen when one looked up. There was a circle on the ground with a diameter of 200 meters at the center of the pillar. The walls were filled with strange and alien symbols.
Since Lu Zhou had night vision, he had a good look at the place. It seemed like the higher it was, the narrower it became inside the pillar.
The most surprising thing was a blue sphere of light that covered about 50 diameters on the ground. The ground shrouded by the blue light sphere was filled with blue crystals. They were arranged neatly and pointed to the center. In the center of the blue crystals was what looked like a blue crystal bottle that was absorbing the blue crystals’ energies. In the blue light sphere, energies twined around each other and flowed harmoniously. It was like a vast galaxy. Every now and then, the energies would flash, looking like stars in the night sky.
“It’s like the universe inside!”
Everyone was stunned by the incomparably beautiful scene before their eyes.
“This… Is this the Great Void Seed?” Zhao Yu asked as he pointed at the object that looked like a blue crystal bottle. He walked over and reached out to touch it. However, as soon as his fingers came in contact with the blue light sphere, he felt something like an electric current zapping him before he was sent flying back.
Bang!
Zhao Yu flew backward and crashed against the inner wall of the pillar.
The wall seemed very st.u.r.dy. It did not shake nor crack under Zhao Yu’s weight. Not even small pebbles fell.
Zhao Yu coughed twice as he looked at the blue light sphere in surprise. It seemed like the pain did not register at all as he looked at the object that resembled a blue crystal bottle.
The others only glanced at Zhao Yu briefly before they turned back to look at the scene before them.
Lu Zhou sighed softly. He did not expect to see so many blue crystals here. If he did not see it with his eyes, who would really believe the blue crystals were really like fertile soil for Great Void Seeds.
If one looked closely, one would be able to see the blue crystals were, in fact, not crystals at all. They were soil. The soil was only because of the light from the blue light sphere. Perhaps, it would only solidify into crystals after leaving the interior of the Pillar of Destruction.
“This is the new generation of Great Void Seed. In just 300 years, it has grown so big. I wonder what it’d look like after 30,000 years.”
It took 30,000 years for Great Void Seeds to mature. Most of them would not be able to live that long. After all, even a Venerable Master could only live for 30,000 years.
At this time, many of them had thoughts of taking the Great Void Seed in front of them for themselves.
Who in the world would have such thoughts with the Great Void Seed in front of them? Only Lu Zhou did not have such thoughts. After all, he already had ten Great Void Seeds, and he had them for more than 300 years.
“Master, do you plan to take it away?” Little Yuan’er stepped forward curiously. However, she was pushed away as well despite possessing the Great Void Seed. Unlike Zhao Yu, she was only pushed a distance away.
“Just take some of the soil…” Lu Zhou said.
“Let me try,” Yan Zhenluo said. Unsurprisingly, he was sent flying back as well.
Kong Wen and the others met with the same outcome as well.
In the end, apart from the Evil Sky Pavilion’s nine disciples who were only pushed back slightly, the others, including Zhao Yu’s men, were sent flying back. No one noticed the abnormalities with Lu Zhou’s disciples.
At this time, Mings.h.i.+ Yin was the only Evil Sky Pavilion who had yet to try.
“Fourth Senior Brother, you should try taking it,” Little Yuan’er said.
Yu Zhenghai chimed in, “Maybe Tian Wu is right. Only you can bypa.s.s the blue sphere…”
Everyone nodded.
Lu Zhou said, “Old Fourth, have a try.”
“Yes, master.” Mings.h.i.+ Yin was not very confident. Although Lord Zhennan and Tian Wu had confirmed that the Great Void Seed in his body came from this place, he still found it hard to believe. He reached out tentatively, expecting to be pushed back. However, when he made contact with the blue sphere, it felt as though he was submerging his hand into the sea. The temperature was moderate and enjoyable. Not only was he not pushed back, but he felt rather comfortable as well.
Everyone was overjoyed upon seeing this.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin continued to move forward. Then, he placed one foot into the blue sphere. When he stepped into the blue sphere, it opened for him before closing again.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin turned around and said with a grin, “It seems like I’m really the chosen one!”
“…”
“It’s quite comfortable in here,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin said as he inhaled deeply. He felt very energetic.
“Congratulations, Mr. Fourth!”
“Congratulations, Fourth Senior Brother!”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin waved his hand and said with a smile, “There’s no need to be so polite.”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin saw the blue energy floating up from the blue soil and surging into him. It was similar to the energy from the Great Void Seed in his body. He wondered if the Great Void Seed in front of him resonated with the one in his body, causing the energy to surge restlessly. He felt the energy surge toward his Dantian’s sea of Qi.
Zhao Yu said with barely concealed awe, “Since he’s been acknowledged by the Pillar of Destruction, this Great Void Seed will fuse with him.”
“Fuse with him?”
“The Great Void Seed is like a medicinal pill. Not everyone will have the same effect after obtaining it. Some people can only display one-tenth of its power while some can fully utilize its power. After his fusion, he’d be able to unlock the potential of the Great Void Seed. From now on, his cultivation base is going to rise crazily,” Zhao Yu said.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin waved his hand and feigned humility as he said, “It’s nothing really. In fact, my cultivation base has already been rising crazily even before this…”
“…”
Despite the humble tone, these words were clearly meant to show off.
Lu Zhou was inwardly surprised. Based on his memories, he knew that out of all his disciples, the Great Void Seeds had the best effect on Little Yuan’er and Mings.h.i.+ Yin. However, in the early days, Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s cultivation method was flawed, slowing down his cultivation speed. The one with the worst effect was Duanmu Sheng. Fortunately, with Lu Wu’s help, Duanmu Sheng’s Great Void Seed was fusing with the different energies in his body.
If Tian Wu was right, did it not mean all ten of his disciples would be recognized by the Pillars of Destruction and would be able to fully unleash the potential of the Great Void Seeds in their bodies?
At this moment, the energy within the blue sphere began to buzz before a bolt of blue lightning shot up.. Then, the Pillar of Destruction began to shake.
