Chapter 1519 The Most Talented Mysterious Young Man (2)
The only drawback was that the Upgrade Card took too long, and he would be completely cut off from the world during the upgrading process. It would be troublesome if something happened during that time, and he could not make a move.
Lu Zhou hesitated. He did not know if he should use the Upgrade Card or not. He sensed the situation in Fragrant Valley. Then, he looked at the building he was in. It was simple and crude and stood in an open s.p.a.ce, making him feel insecure. Lu Zhou looked at the description for the Upgrade Card.
[After using the Upgrade Card, it would take 100 years to upgrade the system.]
Following that, a system notification rang in a timely manner.
“Ding! Would you like to use the Upgrade Card?”
Lu Zhou decisively chose ‘no’.
‘100 years is a bit of a scam. It’s a pity I didn’t get the Upgrade Card earlier. Otherwise, I could’ve used it in the ancient formation.’
Lu Zhou originally planned to cultivate in the Fragrant Valley for ten years. With his disciples’ talents and cultivation bases, they should be able to become Saints within that time.
‘100 years… My disciples’ cultivation aside, the Great Void would have found this place by then… It’s too dangerous.’
After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhou put away the Upgrade Card. It was best to wait until he encountered a similar ancient time formation before he used this item card.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll activate my next Birth Chart…”
With that, Lu Zhou brought his lotus and the life heart of the iron-armored divine beast. Then, he decisively placed the life heart into his Birth Palace.
At the same time…
The Scales of Justice in front of the Sacred Temple’s main hall began to move.
Xuanyi Palace’s Li Chun flew over and landed in front of the Scales of Justice. Then, he bowed in the direction of the main hall and asked, “What are your orders?” A voice rang from inside the hall.
“I heard that you went to Great Han?”
Li Chun was inwardly surprised upon hearing this question. Outwardly, he smiled and said, “Yes.”
“And?”
Li Chun smiled and said, “Xuanyi Palace has always been on bad terms with the Tu Wei Palace. Since the Temple Master has always preferred using the Silver Guards over the Dark Guards, perhaps, you should ask them about this.”
There was no reply. It was extremely quiet.
Finally, Li Chun, who felt pressured by the silence, said, “The White Emperor’s people went to Autumn Dew Mountain.”
The silence continued.
Among the ten halls in the Great Void, Xuanyi Palace and Tu Wei Hall had always been on bad terms. The two halls had been ama.s.sing strength and talent, growing the numbers of the Dark Guards and the Silver Guards. The strange thing was that the Sacred Temple had never cared nor asked about this matter. For this reason, the ten halls thought that this was one of the ways the Sacred Hall maintained its position at the top. It did not matter how big a ruckus they caused; in fact, the bigger the ruckus, the better.
Finally, a puzzled voice rang from inside the hall.
“The White Emperor?”
“The four emperors have long stopped asking about matters of the Great Void. I have no idea why the White Emperor would suddenly appear. In any case, I have no choice but to give up on the disciples of Autumn Dew Mountain,” Li Chun said, “I’m afraid Dao Saint Jiang has the same intention, right?” “Jiang Wenxu has another mission.” “Oh.” Li Chun maintained the smile on his face and said, “Dao Saint Jiang is a really busy man.”
The voice from the hall darkened considerably. “In the past, no matter how fierce the conflict was between the halls, I didn’t say anything. However, during the period of imbalance, please restrain yourselves.”
Li Chun did not dare to be careless. He cupped his fists in the direction of the hall and said, “Since the emperor has given the order, how dare I disobey?” The voice turned gentle again. “Since the Silver Guards have been annihilated, I’ll have to trouble the Dark Guards to patrol the ten Pillars of Destruction.”
Li Chun frowned slightly, and his expression was a little unnatural. Nonetheless, he still said, “Of course.”
After accepting this mission, Li Chun left the Sacred Temple.
Li Chun finally came to a stop in the sky when he was 100 miles north of the Sacred Temple. He turned to look back and muttered to himself, “What a sly old fox. He has to ask for our help when there are so many experts in the Sacred Temple.” Li Chun scoffed in dissatisfaction before he tore through s.p.a.ce and disappeared.
In the Sacred Temple’s main hall.
A white-clad elder sat cross-legged in the air. His figure was slightly translucent. He suddenly opened his eyes and called out, “Hua Zhenghong.”
“What are your orders, Temple Master?”
Only a voice could be heard; no one could be seen at all.
“I need to leave for a while. I’ll leave the temple to you.”
“Farewell, Great Emperor.”
The elderly figure vanished into thin air.
Following that, what looked like a meteor streaked in the sky, flying toward the Endless Ocean.
Lan Xihe, who was hovering above Chongguang Hall, saw this, and an expression of awe appeared on her face immediately. She murmured, “If I’m a supreme being, perhaps, I can also fly freely in the galaxy…”
Fifteen minutes later.
The white-clad old man appeared above the Endless Ocean. Then, he stepped on the surface of the sea as though he was stepping on the ground. With each step he took, a halo would appear.
At this moment, a huge shadow appeared under the surface of the sea.
The white-clad old man came to a stop and placed his hands on his back. At the same time, a halo appeared on his body. It expanded until it illuminated a radius of 1,000 miles.
The surface of the sea began to churn furiously, stirring up waves into the sky.
However, no matter how violently the sea surged, the old man remained dry. When the shadow at the bottom sea drew close to the surface, the white-clad old man asked sternly, “Why are you so stubborn?”
The waves continued to surge.
“Even if you keep circling the Great Void for another 100,00 years, the results would be the same,” the white-clad old man said.
Whoos.h.!.+
The seawater surged up.
Then, an immense sea beast the size of the earth broke the surface of the sea and lifted the white-clad old man up into the sky.
The white-clad tapped his foot lightly on the sea beast’s back.
Boom!
In just an instant, the sea beasts fell back into the sea.
“Even if your body is invulnerable, there’ll be a day when you die. The Great Void can’t help you, humans can’t help you. You’ve helped the humans maintain the balance for 100,000 years. I hope you’ll take care of yourself.”
Buzz!
With that, the white-clad old man disappeared.
Kun roared angrily, causing the seawater to rise into the sky.
After two hours.
A huge island was anch.o.r.ed in the middle of the vast ocean. Several floating islands could be seen above it. A resplendent palace stood on the highest island.
Buzz!
The white-clad old man appeared above the palace. He stood with his hands on his back, and his expression was calm.
Before long, a voice rang from the palace.
“What’s the matter that the emperor had to personally come here?”
Following that, a figure appeared in the sky. It belonged to a middle-aged man. The white-clad old man asked, “White Emperor, how have you been?” The White Emperor said with a smile, “I’ve been well. Thank you for your concern, Great Void Emperor.” “I heard that your people have appeared in the Unknown Land. I’m here to verify it,” the white-clad old man said.
“Oh? You could’ve just sent one of your four divine lords over to enquire about this matter. Is there a need for you to personally come here? I’m afraid my humble abode can’t accommodate a figure like you,” the White Emperor said.
“Am I unwelcomed?” The Great Void Emperor frowned.
“That’s not it,” the White Emperor said, “Regarding the matter you wanted to verify, it’s a matter someone entrusted me with.”
“Back then, you left the Great Void for no reason and no longer had any contact with the Great Void. Who could it be?”
The White Emperor smiled. “I won’t tell you.”
“Oh?” The Great Void Emperor shook his head before he said again, “You gave someone a jade token to enter the Great Abyss Land. Does that also have something to do with the matter entrusted to you?”
“That’s right.”
“You sent someone to Zuole, shocking some people and making things easy for some people. This also has something to do with that?”
“That’s right.”
“You also sent someone to Great Han to stop Xuanyi Palace’s Li Chun because someone told you to do so?” the Great Void Emperor asked. After asking three questions in a row, his voice was still calm. No one would be able to tell if he was happy or angry.
Unlike the first two times, this time, the White Emperor hesitated briefly before he said, “That’s, that’s right.”
“Who’s he?”
The Great Void Emperor really could not think of anyone who would have the courage to ask the White Emperor to do such things.
The White Emperor laughed before he said teasingly, “Are you worried?”
The Great Void Emperor looked at the White Emperor silently.
After the White Emperor stopped laughing, he pointed at one of the floating islands in the sky and said, “Look at that. How beautiful is it?”
The Great Void Emperor remained expressionless.
The White Emperor continued to say, “Look at the water. How clear is it?”.
All of a sudden, the Great Void Emperor said, “You’ve had a breakthrough.”
The White Emperor smiled. After a moment, he looked at the Temple Master of the Sacred Hall, the Great Void Emperor, and finally said, “He’s a young genius. He’s the most talented cultivator I’ve ever seen.”
The Great Void Emperor’s expression finally changed. He said, “Ask him to come out and meet me.”
“No.” The White Emperor shook his head.
“If what you said is true, I’ll teach him everything so he can become my successor in the Sacred Temple,” the Great Void Emperor said calmly. However, his voice carried a soundwave that swept out into the sky and the islands.
