Lan Xihe stood upright. Her voice was gentle as it echoed in the great hall. It did not sound repulsive at all.
"Later on, human cultivators discovered the existence of the Great Void Seed. The original intention of the Great Void Plan was gradually changed. Those who were close to the Great Void Seed cultivated quickly, and their bodies were nourished. Out of greed, humans abandoned the original intention and turned it into a fight for the Great Void Seed. One day, powerful beasts appeared in the unknown lands and mercilessly slaughtered human cultivators. The humans were chased out of the unknown lands.
The Great Void Seed matures once every 30,000 years. The 1,000 years before it matures is the most intense time for humans to fight for the seed. 300 to 20 years ago was the last time the humans used the Great Void Plan. "
Lan Xihe paused for a moment before continuing to say, "If even Pavilion Master Lu doesn't know where the Great Void is, nobody will."
Lu Zhou shook his head calmly.
"Indeed, I don't know. Do you?"
Lan Xihe frowned slightly. "Because nobody has ever found the Great Void. They've only been to the unknown lands. Many people confuse the unknown lands with the Great Void. Most cultivators think that the Great Void is where the Great Void Seed grows in the unknown lands. I don't think so. "
"Why do you say so?"
"The environment in the unknown lands is extremely harsh. There's no daylight there. It's not a place for humans to live," Lan Xihe said, "Those places are more like the habitats of beasts."
At this moment, Si Wuya could not help but ask.
"Is it possible that the beasts are the ones who truly rule over humans?"
"…"
The 72nd floor fell silent.
The others fell into deep thought about this.
"Humans claim to be more intelligent than humans. However, it seems that some beasts are as intelligent as humans. The beasts from Yingzhao Mountain are only low-level beasts. When they're at a higher level, it's only natural that they're not inferior to humans. They had incomparably strong bodies and strength, and could also rear humans in captivity. Humans looking down on ants is akin to beasts looking down on humans. "
After saying this …
A hint of admiration flashed in Lan Xihe's eyes.
She looked at Si Wuya and asked, "This is …?"
"The Evil Sky Pavilion's seventh disciple, Si Wuya," Si Wuya introduced himself.
"Humans are the wisest of all beings. There was once a supreme being who traversed the unknown lands … There's no such thing as what you said," Lan Xihe said.
"A supreme being?" Si Wuya asked, "You've met him before, Tower Master Lan?"
Lan Xihe remained silent and did not reply.
Si Wuya said, "I believe there are supreme beings in this world … If there are, they must've lived for a long time. Where did they go?"
He asked again,
"Just as you said, the original goal of the Great Void Plan was to find the source of the shackles of the world. If he couldn't even break through the shackles, how could he become a supreme being? According to Sixth Senior Sister, Pagoda Master Lan only has five years left to live. Pagoda Master Lan's cultivation is unfathomable and should not be weaker than Xia Zhengrong. May I ask what is Pagoda Master Lan's cultivation and why does he only have five years to live? What is Pagoda Master Lan's real purpose in contacting my Sixth Senior Sister? "
"…"
A series of questions poured out like a machine.
The speed of his speech was smooth, and he did not pause at all.
For a moment, the hall quietened down again.
Everyone was taken aback.
Little Yuan 'er held the cup of water in her hand. She blinked as she looked at Si Wuya. In her moment of distraction, she dropped the cup.
The moment it landed on the ground, the cup froze in midair.
It flew back to the table.
Everyone looked at Lan Xihe.
Lan Xihe raised her hand and said without the slightest hint of anger, "As expected, Pavilion Master Lu is here to denounce me."
She looked at Si Wuya and answered them one by one.
"Perhaps, there's no need to break through the shackles of the world to become a supreme being. Shackles are a problem that all humans face. If you're interested, you can study it yourself."
Si Wuya pressed on.
"Based on my observations, every world leads to an unknown land. Coincidentally, the gold, red, black, white, and yellow worlds lead to the unknown land in the same direction."
He waved his hand.
A piece of white paper flew out.
It landed in front of Lan Xihe.
Lan Xihe looked down and saw the picture on it. A hint of shock appeared on his calm face before he asked, "You are?"
"I've told you. I'm the Evil Sky Pavilion's seventh disciple, Si Wuya."
This meant that Lan Xihe did not think much of Si Wuya before this. At this moment, she had to take this young man seriously.
"I'm the Evil Sky Pavilion's ninth disciple, Ci Yuan 'er. Big sister, over here." Little Yuan 'er was sprawled on the table. She placed her arms on the table and waved at Si Wuya. Her head rested on the table.
Lan Xihe looked at Little Yuan 'er and smiled warmly. "Thank you."
She looked at Si Wuya and said, "Your drawing is not bad.
"Your drawing is not bad. I can give you a hint."
Si Wuya seemed to be asking for guidance.
Lan Xihe said, "You can fill in a few more identical maps and redraw them. This drawing is good, but I don't think it's accurate. "
It was a curved line that connected black, white, gold, and red. The line was Heaven's Moat, Black Water Mystic Cave, and Sky Wheel Mountain Range.
"Thank you for the reminder, Tower Master Lan." Si Wuya added, "Indeed, this drawing is inaccurate. I forgot to bring a more accurate drawing with me. I'm just confirming it. "
Lan Xihe was speechless.
"I'll give you another piece of advice."
"What is it?"
"If you're too confident, you'll be conceited. It's best not to explore the Four Great Unknown Lands, "Lan Xihe said.
At this moment, Lu Zhou said,
"The Four Great Unknown Lands?"
"Legend has it that they're isolated from the world beyond the unknown lands where the Great Void Seed resides. That's all I know, "Lan Xihe said.
Si Wuya no longer pressed on.
He seemed to be deep in thought. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, Lan Xihe said, "My second question."
She stood up.
Her feet hovered in the air.
She walked forward slowly and said, "Nobody can live forever, and I'm no exception. I want to find a replacement before my time comes. Ye Tianxin is the most suitable candidate I've seen so far. Alas … we're not fated. "
"Eight-leaf cultivators can live for 1,000 years, Nine-leaf cultivators can live for 1,600 years, Ten-leaf cultivators can live for 2,600 years, and one Birth Chart can live for 500 years. Big sister … ah …"
Little Yuan 'er covered her mouth in shock.
'I don't think I can call her big sister.'
Lan Xihe had at least 12 Birth Charts. In total, he had lived for at least 8,600 years.
'Uh …'
The others looked at Little Yuan 'er.
'She's touching a sore spot.
'Don't you know it's rude to mention this in front of a woman?'
However, Lan Xihe did not seem angry.
After living for a long time, she had seen through all kinds of senseless schemes and hypocritical flattery. She admired Little Yuan 'er's frankness.
Lan Xihe smiled and continued to rise. He looked at Lu Zhou and asked, "Pavilion Master Lu, are you really not from the Great Void?"
Lu Zhou shook his head.
Lan Xihe asked, "Then, are you from the four great unknown lands?"
Lu Zhou shook his head again.
"I understand now. Perhaps, there's no Great Void in this world."
The others were puzzled by Lu Zhou's words.
"Perhaps, I'm wrong."
Lan Xihe sighed softly and raised her hand.
Whizz!
A white astrolabe appeared before the others.
The astrolabe was like a blazing sun. It instantly dimmed, but it also resembled a bright moon in the sky.
The 36 triangles that had charged out of the Birth Charts retracted.
The Birth Charts shone brightly.
The 13 Birth Charts lit up one after another and vanished in a flash.
"13 Birth Charts?" Yu Zhenghai exclaimed in shock.
Even Lu Zhou did not expect Lan Xihe to have 13 Birth Charts.
This meant she had passed two Birth Trials.
Lan Xihe looked at Little Yuan 'er and said with a sigh, "Little girl, I'm actually very young. However, something went wrong with my cultivation. Not only did my 13th Birth Chart not increase my lifespan, but I lost 3,000 years. "
