Chapter 1810: Suppressing the Power of the Earth (1)
Guan Jiu let out a sigh as he watched Ming Xin leave. He looked at the surroundings of the Tower of Heaven before he landed on the ground with just a flash. He bent down and grabbed a handful of soil before he observed it for a while. After he sensed that nothing was out of the ordinary, he let go of the soil, letting it scatter in the wind.
At this moment, a Templar appeared in the air and said, “Lord Guan, it’s time to act. His Majesty said that we should act sooner rather than later regarding the matter of the Towers of Heaven.”
“Alright.” Guan Jiu nodded and looked at the top of the tower before he flew off to gather the Templars.
“With the collapse of the pillars, His Majesty said that the Dao and the laws will be affected. It’s no longer safe to use runic pa.s.sages now. I suggest we use the six-clawed demonic dragon.”
“Alright.”
Not long after, Guan Jiu led a large number of Templars and left on the demonic dragon’s back.
…
The Endless Ocean.
The surface of the sea was turbulent.
Lu Zhou hovered in the air as he looked down at the sea. He had come to confirm the situation at the Endless Ocean.
There were many sea beasts in the sea; far more than the fierce beasts on land. However, currently, the situation still looked under control.
If the Great Maelstrom became dangerous, the outcome would be like the collapse of the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. It would drive the sea beasts to places where they thought were safe such as human territories.
Lu Zhou saw the human alliance quickly building towers and dams in the east. The cultivators were busy flying back and forth. At this time, he saw a familiar figure commanding the cultivators.
......
“Zhou Youcai?”
A long time had pa.s.sed, and Lu Zhou had forgotten about many people. However, he still had a vague impression of Zhou Youcai from the Big Dipper Academy. In the past, he had interacted with Zhou Youcai many times to ensure that Yu Zhenghai and the others would be able to reach the divine capital.
Zhou Youcai was dressed in a scholar’s robe. At this moment, he was looking at the Endless Ocean with a contemplative look.
Lu Zhou flashed and silently appeared next to Zhou Youcai.
Zhou Youcai was shocked. “You, you, you…”
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and said, “Zhou Youcai from the Big Dipper Academy, long time no see.”
Zhou Youcai had never seen Lu Zhou’s youthful appearance before. The portraits displayed by the wors.h.i.+ppers in the marketplaces were even more unrealistic. The portraits all resembled old immortals. Hence, he was very startled and confused by Lu Zhou’s sudden appearance. Nonetheless, although he did not recognize Lu Zhou, he could sense that Lu Zhou’s cultivation was profound. Seeing that Lu Zhou did not attack, he confirmed that Lu Zhou was not a rebel from the Great Void. Finally, he said not very confidently, “L-long time no see…”
“How is the situation by the sea?” Lu Zhou asked.
Zhou Youcai said with a sigh, “The tsunami came too quickly. It was rather strange. The disciples of the academy have been guarding here. Every once in a while, the sea beasts will attack. Fortunately, the pressure isn’t too much.”
Lu Zhou asked, “What will you do if a beast emperor or divine beast appears?”
“With Meng Zhang, one of the Four Divinities of Heaven, helping us, it won’t be a problem. If a powerful beast appears, he’ll rush over immediately,” Zhou Youcai said, “It’s said the situation at the green lotus domain is much more severe.”
“Green lotus domain?”
“The terrain there is a little lower so it makes it easier for the sea beasts to attack. At least 3,000 miles of land are submerged in water. There’ll only be more fierce beasts there. However, since they have powerful cultivators there, it should be okay,” Zhou Youcai replied.
Lu Zhou nodded.
At this time, Zhou Youcai turned to the other cultivators and said, “Everyone, take a rest. Those who are injured should return to be treated.”
“Understood!”
“Are these all students from the academy?” Lu Zhou asked.
Zhou Youcai nodded. “Yes.”
Lu Zhou felt slightly emotional when he saw the young faces.
Humans were the most blessed living thing in the world. They were also the best at fighting among themselves. However, they were also the most tenacious. No matter the difficulties, there would always be a group that stepped forward.
Lu Zhou slowly raised his hand, and a blue lotus appeared on his palm.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Youcai exclaimed in surprise, “Blue lotus? You’re the Pavilion Master of the Saint Sky Pavilion?”
The blue lotus flew up in the air. Blue light rained down on the cultivators, healing their injuries and dispelling their exhaustion. Even those who were severely injured recovered immediately.
After the treatment ended, Lu Zhou said in a clear voice, “Mankind is facing a great change that’s never been seen before in the past 100,000 years. We’re all a speck of dust in this huge world. I cannot do much for you, and I can only tell you that all disasters will pa.s.s.”
Everyone shouted, “All disasters will pa.s.s!”
Lu Zhou’s appearance boosted their morale greatly.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong here, Lu Zhou knew it was time to leave. He raised his hand to the sky. A circle of light appeared in the sky immediately. He had mobilized the divine Dao power and opened up a runic pa.s.sage. He knew it would only last for a short time so he did not waste time and disappeared into the runic pa.s.sage.
Even after Lu Zhou left, the crowd still looked at the empty sky with respectful and reverent expressions on their faces.
…
At the green lotus domain.
It was just as Zhou Youcai said.
3,000 miles of land was submerged by seawater.
Countless sea beasts could be seen coming ash.o.r.e.
In the sky, there were also many beast kings like Hengyu Gong and Hu Jiao.
Water splashed up to the sky constantly.
It was chaotic.
Faced with these sea beasts were a huge flying chariot and the tens of thousands of cultivators around it.
On the flying chariot, Qin Renyue and Conch stood on the left and right of the helm respectively as they looked at the sea.
Meanwhile, Bai Zhaoju stood calmly in the center of the deck.
