Chen Fu nodded and said, "Sunset Mountain is a good place."
How could Yan Mu understand what the Sage was saying? He just nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes … If the Sage is free, feel free to come to my humble abode anytime. I … I will definitely treat you well."
Chen Fu shifted his gaze to Lu Zhou and asked, "I've never believed in luck. You must have some tricks up your sleeve to be able to obtain the Violet Glazed Ceramic … How should I address you?"
Up until now, Chen Fu still did not know Lu Zhou's name. He hesitated for a long time before he finally asked.
"My surname is Lu, and I'm from the golden lotus domain's Evil Sky Pavilion."
Yan Mu turned around and swallowed his saliva.
His image weakened a little.
The Bingdi Lotus had a rule of not interacting with the outside world since ancient times. This rule had been set by the Great Sage Chen, and it had never changed in the past tens of thousands of years. The six Perfected Ones of the Great Han Dynasty also followed this rule. The East Capital and the West Capital were originally the capital cities of the two countries, and they were the cores of the two lotuses respectively. After the great war, they merged together, and the war caused great damage to the Bingdi Lotus. In order to recuperate, Chen Fu made an agreement with the Great Void to not interfere with the matters of the outside world.
Now that a golden lotus cultivator had suddenly arrived, it was inevitable that the younger generation would feel conflicted.
Chen Fu's expression remained the same. Not only was he not angry, he even sighed and said, "In the end, it still came."
Lu Zhou said.
"People always like to have thoughts, just like men. They say that they are loyal, but they are secretly thinking about the girl next door."
"???"
The more he listened, the more confused he became.
Forget it, it's better to be muddle-headed.
"I'm referring to the runic passageway," Lu Zhou added.
Chen Fu could not deny it. He said, "The world is one, it can never be completely severed."
Lu Zhou nodded in agreement.
It was not easy to find a Sage, so naturally, he would not let go of such a good opportunity.
Hence, Lu Zhou said, "Apart from asking about the Resurrection Scroll, I came here today to ask about another matter."
Chen Fu turned to look at Lu Zhou from the corner of his eyes.
Is this "seeking guidance"?
Lu Zhou asked, "I've always been curious. Everyone fears and respects the Great Void. Everyone says that the Great Void is somewhere unknown, but nobody has ever found it. Then … where is the Great Void? "
This question had been repeated many times. The closer he got to the answer, the more bizarre and unreliable the answer seemed.
Chen Fu turned around and said, "In the sky."
It was the same answer.
Lu Zhou said, "In the sky?"
Yan Mu instinctively raised his head, but all he saw was a clear sky with a few birds flying across the horizon.
Occasionally, a ferocious beast with a wingspan of a thousand feet or a thousand feet would streak across the sky, disappearing in a flash.
Chen Fu sighed and said, "In the Nine Lotus, those who know about this matter have already died. It's normal that you don't know. "
Lu Zhou was skeptical when he heard Yu Shangrong's confident tone.
"What if we find them?" Lu Zhou asked.
Chen Fu looked at Lu Zhou curiously and asked, "Why are you so determined to find the Great Void?"
Lu Zhou did not answer his question immediately.
This was a very vague sense of self. It was fated in the unseen world.
It was like some kind of hidden driving force was driving him in this direction.
Shackles of Heaven and Earth? Become a supreme being? You don't want to be a pawn?
Maybe both.
Lu Zhou said, "The imbalance is worsening, and the Nine Lotus Realm is on the verge of collapse. The cultivation world is already riddled with holes. The Great Void prides himself on being above the masses. Shouldn't he do something about it?"
Chen Fu asked doubtfully, "The imbalance in the outside world has already reached such an extent?"
"You've been on the Bingdi Lotus for too long," Lu Zhou said.
In other words, he was saying that the world was too backward, and the outside world had been turned upside down.
Chen Fu said with a sigh, "I have the heart, but I'm powerless. Are you trying to be the savior of the world? "
"I'm not that great. I'm only trying to save myself, "Lu Zhou said.
Chen Fu nodded. He seemed to have recalled something as he said, "100,000 years ago, the earth cracked. The imbalance at that time was devastating. There were countless casualties, and the people were plunged into misery and suffering. The past sages wanted to be the savior of the world, but they all died horrible deaths.
"The bitterness of fighting the heavens is endless."
Lu Zhou shook his head and said disapprovingly, "You think too highly of the Great Void."
Chen Fu looked at Lu Zhou with a complicated expression on his face. He had repeated this action several times.
He did not know where Lu Zhou got his confidence from. Whether it was toward him or the Great Void, Lu Zhou was always so conceited.
"Do you really want to find the Great Void?" Chen Fu asked.
"That's right."
"Give me a reason to convince me," Chen Fu said indifferently.
Lu Zhou did not answer him immediately.
He picked up his teacup and took a sip. A fragrant aroma wafted into the air.
The sky was as calm as ever, the waterfall was as lively as ever, and the autumn water was as beautiful as ever.
At this moment, Lu Zhou felt a unique fluctuation of energy.
It was the Dao power of a Great Saint.
'Hm?'
Lu Zhou's sharp intuition told him that Chen Fu was probing his strength and cultivation base.
Lu Zhou placed his teacup down gently. Tap!
He recited the Heavenly Writing power.
With the power of the True Body Intelligence, he was able to conceal his true body with boundless profundities. He was able to use various powers without being detected.
The Boundless Divine Concealment power.
His surroundings fell silent.
He saw Yan Mu seemed to have been frozen in place. His mouth was slightly agape, and his eyes were blank. He looked like a lifelike statue. He saw the green-robed disciples nearby were frozen in their spots. They did not move at all. He saw the 10,000 feet waterfall frozen in midair. The waves reflected the radiance of the sun.
Indeed, the Great Saint's ability to remain still was powerful.
"With Boundless Deduction, the unknowable, the unknowable, the unknowable, the changes of the laws …"
The Boundless Deduction power.
Under the effects of the two powers, images appeared in Lu Zhou's mind. The images were like an epic painting drawn by a master artist. They flashed across his mind. There were flying chariots, beasts, cultivators, experts, and the weak. There was blood, severed limbs, cries … Death was everywhere.
He did not stop there. Countless unfamiliar faces kept appearing in his mind. They all ended up dead.
Lu Zhou refused to believe this. He continued.
Death. Death. It was all death.
When the images faded into darkness, the deduction stopped.
"Senior?"
Yan Mu gently touched the corner of Lu Zhou's robe, pulling him back from his thoughts.
It felt like a dream. Lu Zhou turned around. "Yan Mu?"
Yan Mu pointed at Chen Fu and said, "The Great Saint?"
Lu Zhou looked over and saw Chen Fu was motionless.
At this moment, Chen Fu turned around and said, "Have you thought of a reason?"
Lu Zhou stood up and placed his hands on his back.
"Change."
Chen Fu was slightly puzzled.
Lu Zhou said, "Make some changes before your time runs out."
The conclusion of the Boundless Deduction power was that Chen Fu's great limit was near.
He did not think that Chen Fu, who was a Saint, would be able to accept such an ending even though he was revered by the people.
Yan Mu. "…"
Nobody knew how long a Saint could live. 30,000 years for a Perfected One and 100,000 years for a Saint were only estimates made by the common cultivators. Many people could not live that long and could not prove this with their own eyes. The Saints were not in the mood to tell the people how long they could live. It did not seem auspicious.
Whether it was auspicious or not, life and death had to be faced.
Yan Mu looked at Lu Zhou and Chen Fu in shock. He did not expect Lu Zhou to say such words in front of a Saint.
Lu Zhou's words could be interpreted as a provocation.
Lu Zhou's image in Yan Mu's heart fell again, and he returned to his original position.
Chen Fu said, "Alright."
Yan Mu was puzzled.
Chen Fu's figure flickered and appeared outside the gazebo. He said, "Hua Yin."
His voice was the same as usual, but it traveled into the distance.
Shortly after, Hua Yin appeared near the gazebo. He bowed and said, "Master."
"I'll be gone for a while. Nobody is to come near me."
"Understood."
Chen Fu's figure flashed and appeared 1,000 meters in the air, away from the barrier.
Yan Mu was filled with envy and admiration. As expected of a Saint. Even a grand Perfected Master would have to bow down to him in the blink of an eye.
Yan Mu turned to look at Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou was nowhere to be seen. When he looked up again, Lu Zhou had already appeared next to Chen Fu.
The two of them vanished and reappeared 1,000 meters away at the same time. With another flash, they vanished into the distance.
Yan Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Hua Yin walked up to Yan Mu and asked, "Who's he to you?"
"I-it's my first time meeting him," Yan Mu answered honestly.
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
"It's really my first time meeting him."
"You'd better tell me the truth. The Seven Star Sword Sect has been disbanded. You should know what this means," Hua Yin said.
Yan Mu panicked. He hastily prostrated himself and said, "I swear to the heavens, this is really my first time meeting him!"
Hua Yin looked at the skies and said, "His cultivation base must be profound to be able to fight a Saint."
"Uh … I didn't expect that as well."
"With such an elite by your side, how could you lose to trash like the Seven Star Sword Sect?" Hua Yin shook his head.
"…"
Yan Mu felt extremely ashamed.
…
Meanwhile.
Lu Zhou and Chen Fu appeared in a barren place.
Chen Fu stopped in the air. He pointed down and said, "This is the rune tunnel that leads to the Unknown Land."
He descended.
Lu Zhou landed on the rune tunnel as well. He asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"You'll know soon enough," Chen Fu said.
The rune tunnel lit up under Chen Fu's control. The two of them vanished.
15 minutes later, the two of them appeared in the dark Unknown Land.
The Primal Qi in the Unknown Land was still chaotic. Mist surged in the skies, and the carcasses of beasts were strewn all over the place. Beasts could be seen everywhere.
Chen Fu did not walk out of the rune tunnel immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. He took in the familiar scent of the Unknown Land. It was as though he had returned home.
He opened his eyes in satisfaction. He looked at the surroundings that had changed. He sighed heavily and muttered to himself, "Everything has changed."
Chen Fu walked out of the rune tunnel.
He spread his arms.
From a thousand meters away, five balls of light flew over from all directions.
He turned around and put the balls of light into his pouch.
Lu Zhou was puzzled. He asked, "What's that?"
"Transportation Jade Talismans."
Chen Fu grabbed Lu Zhou's left arm with his right hand and said, "Let's go."
He crushed one of the jade talismans.
Lu Zhou felt the space around him distort. Light flickered as though he was standing in a rune tunnel. However, there was something different about it.
When they reappeared, they were hovering in the air. They saw a towering pillar that was 10,000 feet in diameter piercing the clouds.
The two of them could barely be seen in the mist.
Beasts were running around below them. More than 1,000 beasts were trampling each other as they fought for territory.
"This place is called Chi Fenruo. It's now called Rooster Crow. Chi Fenruo is the Heaven's Opening Pillar that holds up this land. Do you see it clearly? "Chen Fu asked softly.
Lu Zhou was still immersed in the majesty of the Heaven's Opening Pillar. He was shocked.
Chen Fu crushed another jade talisman.
A radiance enveloped the two of them. The space around them distorted.
The two of them appeared on a peak that pierced through the mist. They looked down at the majestic mountains and rivers before them.
The Heaven's Opening Pillar was also 10,000 feet in diameter. It towered above the land and pierced the clouds.
However, there were fewer beasts here.
"This place is called Shentiige. It's now called Ping Dawn. Nie Tige is the Heaven's Opening Pillar that holds up this land. What do you think? "Chen Fu asked.
Lu Zhou nodded.
He looked at the boundless mist and the vast mountains and rivers. He could not help but lament the insignificance of humans.
Chen Fu crushed a jade talisman.
The two of them changed locations and arrived at another part of the void.
"This place is called Shan Ke. It's now called Daybreak. Shan Ke is the Heaven's Opening Pillar that holds up this land," Chen Fu explained.
Lu Zhou understood now. He said, "You're saying that the Heaven's Opening Pillar is used to hold up this land?"
"That's the origin of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches," Chen Fu said.
"…"
They crushed a jade talisman and entered the next location.
This time, they appeared on a barren land. The surroundings were deathly silent. The trees were withered, and the air was thin. There was little Primal Qi. It was stifling.
"This place is called Zhixu. It's now called Shi Shi," Chen Fu said.
Lu Zhou asked, "Why didn't you use the old name?"
Chen Fu replied, "Because that's the name of the Great Void."
"…"
"Before the earth split, the ten Pillars of Heavenly Awakening were located in the Great Void!" Chen Fu said.
Lu Zhou was shocked by this answer.
Shortly after, they entered the next location.
Lu Zhou was familiar with this location. He immediately saw Marquis Zhennan's Forest of Absolute Kill. He said, "The great wilderness is now called Yuzhong."
Chen Fu asked in confusion, "You've been here before?"
Lu Zhou did not deny it. He nodded slightly.
Chen Fu said, "We've used up all the jade talismans. Do you still want to look at the remaining five Pillars of Heavenly Awakening?"
He did not think flying around was a comfortable thing to do.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "There's no need."
"The remaining five Pillars of Heavenly Awakening are Dun Ke, Xie Qia, Pu Tan, and Zuo Wu," Chen Fu said, "The last one is Great Abyss Offering. It's in the center and stretches for 100,000 feet! Even I wouldn't simply enter Great Abyss Offering's territory. "
Lu Zhou asked, "Since this used to be the Great Void, where's the Great Void now?"
Chen Fu hesitated.
After a few seconds of silence, Chen Fu said, "Look up."
"…"
Mist surged in the sky.
Powerful beasts with wings that spanned 100,000 feet could be vaguely seen.
Human cultivators often said that the area below the mist was relatively safe. The most dangerous place was behind the mist … It was not because the beasts were hiding in the mist, but because the Great Void was hiding behind the mist.
