Lu Zhou's gaze fell on the drawing Fan Zhong left on the table.
He couldn't help but think of the ancient sheepskin drawing. It seemed to be no different from a drawing, which was surprising. From the very beginning, the ancient sheepskin map had told him the full picture and location of the unknown land. Unfortunately, he was in this mountain, so he couldn't see his true face.
The Unknown Lands had a more elliptical terrain, and it was extremely vast. The position of the Golden Lotus just happened to be shrinking. It looked like a huge leaf that hadn't fully grown. Of course, compared to the Unknown Lands, Ninelotus was too tiny. The Nine Lotuses surrounded the unknown land like nine leaves on a huge oval landscape. Some were big, some were small, some were far, some were near.
The yellow lotus was not far from the golden lotus.
Lu Zhou was puzzled. Could it be that the golden lotus was separated from the unknown lands, and the yellow lotus was separated from the golden lotus?
That was the most logical explanation.
In that case, why would the sea beasts attack humans every once in a while?
Lu Zhou asked, "Lu Li, how did you predict that the sea beast king would head toward the red lotus domain when you were in the Black Tower?"
Lu Li replied:
"The three thousand patterns of the Black Tower aren't as simple as just defense. At the top of the tower, there's a square formation guided by formation patterns that can communicate with the power of heaven and earth, and coordinate with the three thousand patterns of the Black Tower to point in the direction of the ferocious beasts. This method was only suitable for Vicious Beasts below the Beast King level. It was useless against highly intelligent Vicious Beasts. Intelligent Vicious Beasts knew how to avoid human observation. Sometimes, I wonder if there's something like this in the Great Void. The Great Void looks down on us, just like how we look down on the sea beasts … "
Yan Zhenluo said, "That's not appropriate. In my opinion, sea beasts are much stronger than humans. It can only be said that humans are lucky to be able to survive until now and be on par with the beasts on land. "
Lu Li didn't refute.
Lu Zhou said, "All of you, leave for now. Report to me if there's anything unusual."
"Yes."
Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li left.
Lu Zhou continued to observe Si Wuya's condition. When he saw Si Wuya was sleeping, he retracted his power.
He took out the Big Heaven Pouch and placed the Taixu Pill, the brocade box, and the Heart of Gouchen in front of him.
"Chen Gouchen's Heart is a remnant seed. It's not suitable for it to be placed in the nineteenth Life Providence."
He placed the Heart of Gouchen into the Great Overflowing Heaven Sack and looked at the brocade box.
He wondered if a Great Perfected Master would be able to open the brocade box he had obtained from the mausoleum.
He pressed down with his palm and five fingers.
Vigorous vital energy gushed out with a buzzing sound, pressing down on the brocade box.
Crack.
The lid of the brocade box let out a crisp sound.
It opened!
He lifted the lid.
What entered his eyes was not some powerful secret cultivation technique, nor was it some miraculous elixir, nor was it a treasure. Instead, it was a cream-colored Daoist robe.
"Clothes?"
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that it would be a piece of clothing.
What's the use? On second thought, this was a brocade box placed in the mausoleum of the late Qin Emperor. There was no way a piece of trash could be placed in the box.
True gold fears no fire.
Lu Zhou casually sent out karmic fire.
The karmic fire landed on his clothes.
Sizzle —
"Hmm?"
The Karmic Fire was actually separated half an inch away from his clothes, unable to get any closer.
These clothes are interesting.
He pushed the hellfire again, but no matter how close the hellfire got, it could not advance any further. Logically speaking, even if it couldn't be touched, the robe should have become dry and hard under the scorching heat of the Karmic Fire. Eventually, it would burn.
Despite the scorching heat, the robe remained unharmed.
This reminded him of Little Yuan 'er's Cloud Feather Raiment. That raiment had the same effect as well. It was not made of anything special. Instead, it was made of golden and silver threads that were slowly woven into clothes by a Formation master.
The robe should not be that simple.
Lu Zhou retracted the karmic fire and retrieved Unnamed.
Initially, he wanted to cut the robe. However, when he thought about how powerful Unnamed was, even the Confinement Seal might not be able to withstand it, he decided to give it a try and find a weapon that was more suitable.
Brother Lu held the robe in his hand. With a flash, he appeared outside the dojo. He found an ordinary sharp blade and cut the robe a few times.
Slash!
The robe was unscathed. There was not even a scratch on it.
"Interesting." Lu Zhou nodded.
Ordinary weapons were useless against it. He would have to rely on the cultivator.
He brandished his energy sabers and energy swords and slashed at the robe. He was unscathed.
"The zen tunic can block ordinary energy sabers and swords. This should be more powerful than the zen tunic." This time, Lu Zhou brought out Unnamed.
After a brief moment of hesitation …
He swung Unnamed.
Slash!
The robe made a clear sound of being cut.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that some of the veins on the robe had been cut.
Lu Zhou shook his head helplessly. "Useless …"
Since it was destroyed, it was useless.
He was about to toss it away.
Then, a miraculous scene unfolded on the robe. The cut on the robe closed up and returned to its original state.
Lu Zhou was slightly shocked. There was nothing wrong with a person's wound being able to heal. However, he did not know that clothes could do the same.
What material was this?
Lu Zhou swung his sword again. Slash!
This time, the cut was larger than before. As expected, the cut closed up again after a few seconds.
The strands of silvery thread-like material would always find each other and reconnect after they were cut.
'Good stuff!'
Lu Zhou clenched his fist and sent his Primal Qi into the robe. He carefully sensed the situation inside. Whizz!
It was as if he had entered a dreamy painting, interspersed in the mysterious and unfathomable vast galaxy. The heavens and the earth were all connected by silver threads, forming a seamless formation.
At this moment, he noticed that there was only one silver thread on the robe.
There was only one thread.
From the beginning to the end, the silver threads twisted and turned before finally forming a Daoist robe.
Due to the Formation, the light-colored patterns on the robe varied in brightness and intensity. A Taiji Yin and Yang diagram was on the left and right sides of the robe.
Lu Zhou was in awe at the exquisite weaving technique.
This special material made it so that not even a speck of dust could be seen on it. Every time a speck of dust fell on it, it would be bounced off by the silver threads.
"This is good stuff." Lu Zhou felt as though he had found a treasure.
He immediately took off his shabby robe and put it on.
Swoosh!
From top to bottom, his Extraordinary Eight Meridians seemed to have been connected by the robe. They seemed to have merged into one.
This wonderful feeling caused Lu Zhou's cultivation base to circulate on its own.
"Wonderful … Wonderful!"
With this robe … Even if he did not cultivate, his Primal Qi would recover faster than ordinary people.
Moreover, it was also beneficial to his heavenly power.
If he used it with the Violet Glazed Ceramic and the Life Suppressing Pillar, he would only need half a day to recover his Heaven's power.
If there came a day when the Heaven's power was endless, it would not be impossible for him to fight a saint with his abilities as a Grand Master.
'Wonderful! This is wonderful!'
With a flash, Lu Zhou returned to the dojo.
He continued to cultivate.
If the robe could only last for a short period of time, it would be a great loss.
He returned to the dojo.
He took out the Dao Lecture Canon and began meditating on it with the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
The robe seemed to have an invisible force that dragged his consciousness into the Dao Preaching Canon.
"What Dao is there to talk about? What Dao is there to cultivate? It's all bullsh * t."
"I've spent my entire life teaching the people of the world to break the shackles of heaven and earth …"
"What a pity! What a pity! What's a Fiend?"
"I've seen the world for a long time. Everyone is a Fiend! If the world calls me a Fiend, then I'll be one. " “
Whizz!
Lu Zhou's consciousness seemed to have entered a dark, lightless space. Killing intent lurked everywhere.
Clanging sounds rang in his ears, and a series of shadows streaked past his body one after another.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The sounds of killing were piercing.
Golden lotuses, yellow lotuses, red lotuses, black lotuses, white lotuses, purple lotuses, inky green lotuses, jade green lotuses … The lotuses were like shadows as they shot past him. Each of the shadows seemed to be stabbing at him with a saber in hand.
All of them looked ferocious.
Lu Zhou's eyes widened in anger.
"Evil and unorthodox cultivators shouldn't exist in this world."
"You deserve to die!"
"A Fiend is worthy of preaching?" “
"Die!"
Whoosh!
Lu Zhou opened his eyes.
He stopped cultivating.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
This surprised Lu Zhou. Ever since he began cultivating, he had not sweated for a long time. Under most circumstances, cultivators could control their emotions well. They would not experience fatigue and sweat like mortals.
He did not expect this to happen when he meditated on the Dao Lecture Canon.
He had thought he would be able to obtain more Heavenly Writing powers from the Dao Lecture Canon. However, not only did he fail, but he also felt a lingering fear.
He felt intense emotions — grief, anger, arrogance, and fear. Many emotions intertwined and invaded his consciousness and mind.
Fortunately, these emotions did not affect him.
"The robe?" Lu Zhou suspected that this was caused by the resonance between the robe and the Dao Lecture Canon.
The painting in the dream was blurry, peculiar, and mysterious.
'What did the master of the Dao Lecture Canon experience to cause such intense emotions?'
Lu Zhou shook his head and sighed.
This was not a good feeling. He felt as though he was the one who had to pick up the pieces.
He put the Dao Lecture Canon away and looked at his remaining life on the system dashboard.
"Thirty days have passed?"
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. Only a short while had passed. How did 30 days pass?
His remaining life should not be accurate. He still had the Life Suppressing Pillar with 100 times the normal lifespan.
Even without the 100 times effect, half a day had passed.
Lu Zhou remembered Si Wuya and quickly activated his Heaven Eye.
In the skies, the Sky Chariot traversed the dark clouds.
Si Wuya and Jiang Aijian stood on the deck and looked around.
"Aren't you going to greet Old Senior Ji?" Jiang Aijian asked.
"I've already sent a message. There's no need to worry, "Si Wuya replied.
"Alright. In any case, I can't lose my sword."
Si Wuya smiled and said, "Don't worry. I won't lose anything. "
Lu Zhou finally noticed that there was a message from the talismans earlier. However, he was too engrossed in the painting and did not notice it.
He took out the talismans and glanced at them before destroying them.
'Si Wuya's going to Chongming Mountain?'
The content of the letter was simple. There was only one sentence: 'There's a new discovery about the heaven and earth shackles. I'm going to Chongming Mountain. Don't worry about me, master.'
The situation in the painting did not look good.
The seawater was turbulent.
They had already reached the Endless Ocean.
Jiang Aijian said with a smile, "Penglai is 200 miles ahead and we'll turn left. Do you want to come to my territory and sit down? My master misses both of you very much. "
Si Wuya replied with a smile, "How are Island Master Huang and Lady Embroidered Gown doing?"
"They're doing very well. However, the rising seawater has flooded two islands. It's slightly depressing, "Jiang Aijian replied.
"Let's go take a look, then."
"Welcome!"
The Sky Chariot arrived at Penglai Island in no time at all.
Si Wuya noticed that two of the five islands were submerged by the seawater.
The island in the middle was still in the sky. There was no need to worry about it for the time being.
However, based on the rising seawater, it seemed like the tallest island would be submerged soon as well.
At this moment, Huang Shijie and Li Jingyi flew over with their fellow disciples.
The two of them greeted each other.
When Huang Shijie learned that Si Wuya was going to Chongming Mountain, he exclaimed in shock, "You're going to Chongming Mountain?"
"That's right. I have a feeling that there's something strange about the heaven and earth shackles. Chongming Mountain is currently the easternmost known location. Perhaps, we'll find some answers there, "Si Wuya said.
Li Jingyi smiled faintly and said, "Mister Seventh, you're studying the heaven and earth shackles as your lifelong pursuit. You're admirable."
"Hey, hey, hey … Junior Sister, I'm not bad myself," Jiang Aijian said.
Li Jingyi smiled without saying a word.
Huang Shijie said, "Chongming Mountain is 10,000 miles away from Penglai. It's very dangerous. Jingyi and I will go with you. "
Throughout these years, they had achieved some success after the golden lotus' cultivation shackles were removed. However, they were still a distance away from the Thousand Worlds.
Even the talented Jiang Aijian was only a Ten-leaf cultivator.
That was then, and this was now. Si Wuya said, "There's no need for that. I'll go with Jiang Aijian."
"One more person means one more force. Don't decline. Penglai owes you a great debt of gratitude, Brother Ji. I'll feel bad if I just stand by and watch, "Huang Shijie said with a smile. When he saw Si Wuya was about to decline, he hastily said, "It's decided, then. I won't take up any more of your time. We'll depart now! The rest of you can return. "
"Understood."
The Penglai disciples returned to the island.
Si Wuya glanced at the submerged island again and asked, "Island Master Huang, aren't you going to move?"
"Penglai is my root. How can a tree survive without its roots?" Huang Shijie said with a sigh, "I only hope that the imbalance will end soon."
Si Wuya did not say anything else. He steered the Sky Chariot eastward.
They shot into the clouds.
Above the vast Endless Sea.
The sound of the waves and the roars of the oceanic beasts rang in their ears.
The Sky Chariot creaked as it flew in the air.
"Be careful, everyone. Under normal circumstances, the oceanic beasts can't come this high. As for the imbalance, I dare not say, "Si Wuya said.
Swoosh!
Amid the mist, one of the oceanic beasts made a parabola.
It startled Jiang Aijian.
Jiang Aijian said, "Don't jinx it. Whatever you say comes true."
Thud!
The oceanic beasts landed.
Si Wuya did not reply. Instead, he sped up and flew forward.
Lu Zhou followed Si Wuya's line of sight and saw a black shadow at the bottom of the sea through the gap in the mist.
The black shadow covered the entire sea. It was unknown how long or wide it was.
Lu Zhou retracted his power and said, "Men."
Swoosh!
The four Kong brothers rushed over immediately when they heard the order.
"Pavilion Master!"
"Inform everyone to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion at once."
"Understood."
The four Kong brothers quickly relayed Lu Zhou's order.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong stopped sparring. They did not even have the time to bid farewell to Little Zhou and Little Wu before they flew back to the dojo.
Yan Zhenluo and Lu Li quickly gathered at the dojo. Little Yuan 'er and Conch were already there. Soon enough, everyone was gathered.
