Without Xie Tian, after experiencing the initial excitement of ascending to the Nine States, it didn't take long for the Kingdom of the Nine States to return to its usual routine.
In the Lower Realm, they were still cultivating like crazy. Now that they had arrived at Xian Hong Mountain, which was thousands of times more mysterious than they had imagined, it would be very abnormal if they didn't cultivate as hard as they could.
As for Xie Tian, who had mysteriously disappeared …
Most of the people in the Nine States only prayed silently.
After all, this was the home of the very powerful Lu Family.
Furthermore, it sounded like the one who took away Xie Tian was a woman.
Xie Tian, who had always been very lucky with women, would most likely be fine. As for the remaining small probability, he wouldn't die at the hands of a woman …
In the words of Xiao Shu, even if Xie Tian would die, he would only die at the hands of a woman.
Tianer and the other three girls couldn't bring themselves to laugh as they watched Hong Yi chase after Xiao Shu with a huge saber.
With regards to Xie Tian's luck with women, they couldn't help but feel jealous because he was his sweetheart. However, they were more worried about Xie Tian's situation.
Therefore, compared to this kind of worry, they hoped that Xie Tian would really be lucky with women this time …
However, after Celestial Garment asked Lu Xiaoxiao about the situation of that woman, this hope of going against the will of the couple disappeared.
"Emperor …"
"And a lunatic …"
It seemed that because of this, under Lu Xiaoxiao's arrangement, the reunion between Celestial Garment and his parents also lost its touching atmosphere.
The four hesitant and uneasy women didn't even receive any comfort from the Lu Family.
This was because after Celestial Garment left Xian Hong Mountain with his parents, a huge faint shadow rose into the sky …
With a bang, it turned into a book.
The shadow of the ancient book flipped continuously, setting off gusts of wind that blew across the Nine Heavens.
On each page that was flipped, there was a name that no one understood, as well as a golden arrow nailed to the name.
Then, under the astonished gaze of Celestial Garment and the other people of the Nine States, the ancient book stopped on a blank page.
Just as they were wondering what this meant …
Ink gradually appeared on the blank page.
The ink appeared on the pages of the book, twisting and turning, strange and unpredictable …
Finally, the black color stopped appearing. Although they could not understand it, a character that could be understood by the people of the Nine States was formed.
"Zhou …"
The small tree looked at the sky and murmured when it saw the words.
At this moment, everyone had the same doubt in their minds.
Zhou character?
Was that how it was written?
Almost at the same time, they gave a negative answer.
No.
"Then why …"
Celestial Garment's gaze fell.
However, before she could look at Xian Hong mountain again …
Boom!
A ten thousand feet wide golden beam shot up into the sky from somewhere in the Xian Hong Mountain!
The golden light soared into the sky slowly.
However, in the process of soaring into the sky, this golden light that resembled the roar of a dragon gradually transformed into a long golden saber.
The long saber was not the usual broad and thick shape.
The saber hilt was simple and unadorned.
It was carved with profound Dao patterns.
The blade was slender and straight.
It was the same from the beginning to the end.
When it approached the tip of the saber, it gradually shrank and finally formed an arrogant blade that looked like it wanted to pierce the sky.
When this long saber rose into the sky, its speed slowed down.
Although it did not stop, the people of the Nine States estimated that the time it would take for the long saber to reach the Mountain Covering Ancient Book in the sky was about …
"A hundred years?"
"What, what does this mean?"
…
Everyone looked at each other.
The scene created by the Lu Family was very magnificent.
However, if such a magnificent scene took a hundred years to form, it would inevitably be suspected of slacking off, causing everyone to be greatly disappointed.
However, thinking of the awesome power of the Lu Family, they felt that it was unlikely that this great force in the Nine Heavens would mess around in such a scene …
"What are they trying to do?"
Celestial Garment frowned slightly and thought to herself.
Inexplicably, seeing this scene, she had a feeling that the Lu Family was going to do something big.
"But what would make this long saber rise into the sky for a hundred years before landing on the Mountain Covering Ancient Book?"
"Then what do the words' Zhou 'on the ancient book mean?"
"What is this ancient book?"
"What do the names pinned by the golden arrow mean?"
…
After pondering for a while, the cultivators of the Nine States shook their heads and left the foot of the Xian Hong Mountain.
The Kingdom of the Nine States was not far from the Xian Hong Mountain.
Standing on the Xian Hong Mountain and looking at the Kingdom of the Nine States, it was like a huge star.
And looking at the Xian Hong Mountain from the Kingdom of the Nine States, it was a barrier that was even more vast and majestic than the sky, blocking the Kingdom of the Nine States.
But now, the sky of the Kingdom of the Nine States was no longer just a mountain, but …
Half a mountain.
A book.
And a golden long saber that was slowly rising into the sky.
"There will be an answer in a hundred years," Du Long said to himself.
"A hundred years?" Xiao Shu pursed his lips. "That's f * cking long. I'm afraid I'll become a Daozu by then, haha …"
Bai Zhi said softly, "I wonder how long Young Master will be away from us this time. I hope it won't be a hundred years."
"Don't worry." Hong Yi stepped forward and said coldly, "He's still not dead after dying so many times. Besides, it's not just the Kingdom of the Nine States behind him now. There's also a mountain, a mountain that he snatched from others."
"Hmm …" His father, who had been frowning all this while, finally spoke. "Snatched from others? Hong Yi, your words are quite meaningful."
Hong Yi forced a smile. "I don't mean anything."
"What do you mean by 'I don't mean anything'?"
Seeing that his father was being serious, Hong Yi said with a hint of exasperation, "I'm just saying, after all …"
"After all what?"
"After all, those who can snatch things from the Nine Heavens must be powerful beings, so …"
"So what?"
"So I hope that one day, I will also have the right to snatch things from the Nine Heavens."
…
His father was very disappointed.
Not only was he disappointed that Hong Yi had no ambition, but he was even more disappointed by Hong Yi's answer.
Before coming to the Nine Heavens, he already had the intention to find out just how powerful the Lu Family was.
However, it had already been more than ten days since he arrived in the Nine Heavens. He had even followed Celestial Garment into the territory of the Lu Family. However, his understanding of the Lu Family was still as shallow as a drop of water in a vast ocean.
He had finally heard the baffling words of his own people. He thought that Hong Yi had discovered something that he hadn't. In the end, what Hong Yi had discovered was only the surface level.
His father looked up at the sky of the Kingdom of the Nine States, which had changed again.
"What a long hundred years …"
"Perhaps I'll be able to understand how powerful the Lu Family is by then …"
"But, just how powerful are they?"
…
Everyone was waiting for a hundred years.
To the cultivators of the Kingdom of the Nine States, this was indeed a long period of time.
However, to the living beings living in the vast Nine Heavens, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
And if this blink of an eye was combined with the Mountain-Engulfing Ancient Book …
It was obvious just how powerful the Lu Family was.
Because …
"Master, w-what is that?"
Bing Yan asked reflexively when an image that was not under his master's control automatically appeared on the boundless ice plains, drawing the attention of the Ice Monarch.
