The reason he returned to the Apocalypse Pillar was because he saw the light emitted by the Glass Bead.
Lu Zhou learned from his trip to the Great Han Dynasty that the Violet Glazed Ceramic was a kind of illumination tool above the Heavenly Awakening Pillar. It was extremely rare.
Since there were ten Apocalypse Pillars, there should be ten similar beads. Lu Zhou's Pillar of Revelation was the biggest and the highest grade. It should be the core Great Abyss Offering Pillar.
The Purple Glazed Glass that Qiu Wenjian, the Sect Master of the Seven Star Sword Sect, obtained should also be genuine. However, it was naturally inferior to the "Old Ancestor".
Qin Renyue raised his head and looked at the Apocalyptic Pillar in the mist. He murmured, "No matter how many times I've been here, the Apocalyptic Pillar is still daunting."
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "It's just as you said. The person who created such a huge pillar must've been a wise man of a generation. It supported the Great Void and the earth, but it also suppressed the mortal world and made someone superior."
Qin Renyue didn't really understand, so he asked, "What do you mean, Brother Lu?"
Lu Zhou pointed at the part of the Pillar of Revelation that was shrouded in darkness.
"That's right. The Ten Pillars of Apocalypse support the Great Void!"
Qin Renyue: "…"
The experience and knowledge of a Daoist Master was incomparable to that of an ordinary person.
When he was bored, he would flip through the relevant books to find the answer. There were also many clues that indicated that the Great Void was in an unknown place. But that was all. No one knew exactly where it was. Over a long period of time, Taixu had either invited or brought away many Enlightened Beings and even Sages from Ninelotus. But no one returned to Ninelotus.
Occasionally, people from the Great Void would appear to carry out missions, but they were always high and mighty. Even many cultivators in the Great Void didn't know their exact location. They relied on teleportation, jade talismans, and passageways to get in and out. The Unknown Lands were simply too vast. It was extremely difficult for one to see the entirety of the Unknown Lands from within this mountain.
"If the Great Void is really on top of the Pillars of Apocalypse, then … Brother Lu, are you really going to pierce through the sky?" Qin Renyue asked.
Lu Zhou stared at the Apocalypse Pillar that resembled a huge chimney and said, "Naturally, I will, but not now."
Qin Renyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Zhou pointed at the interior of Tian Qi and said, "Shall we go in and have a look?"
Qin Renyue said, "No, something bad will happen. The Great Void is very strict with the Pillars of Apocalypse. Without Tian Wu and Marquis Zhennan, and with the death of the Nine-Clawed Black Centipede, they will probably send a new balancer to guard this place. "
"Wait here, I'll be right back!"
Swoosh.
Lu Zhou flew toward the sky along the Apocalypse Pillar.
Unlike before, the fog was full of uncertainty, and it was easy to get lost.
Sticking close to the Pillars of Heavenly Awakening, it was impossible to go wrong.
Lu Zhou flew at top speed. After flying for a quarter of an hour, he felt the Primal Qi thinning and the pressure increasing.
Apart from Enlightened Beings who could continue to advance, ordinary cultivators could only stop here.
Lu Zhou looked at the Apocalypse Pillar curiously. The Great Void had placed itself in such a high position. Would they be in a good environment?
Lu Zhou continued to ponder as he made his way up. No matter what he thought of now, it was all just a wild guess. Judging from Lan Xi's formation, it was clear that the environment in the Great Void was far superior to the Nine Lotus Realm.
…
The wind whistled past Lu Zhou's ears.
Fortunately, the protective energy of a Grand Perfected Master could deal with the wind blades.
When he reached the highest point, his Primal Qi was almost depleted.
The pressure from high up in the sky appeared.
If he could not mobilize Primal Qi from his surroundings, he could only use the Primal Qi stored in his dantian's sea of Qi.
He continued to fly upward.
The pressure was increasing.
"Who could've forged such a shocking Apocalypse Pillar?"
Even with his cultivation base as a Grand Perfected Master, he could not believe the pressure was so strong.
After what seemed like an eternity, Lu Zhou decided to stop in the air.
"A vacuum?"
The area above him was extremely calm. There was no more fog. The Apocalypse Pillar's glass bead shone brightly.
He could only describe the area above him with the knowledge he had on Earth.
"It'll be extremely dangerous if we go any higher." Lu Zhou frowned.
He turned to look at the Apocalypse Pillar. Even so, the Apocalypse Pillar that was tens of thousands of feet in diameter was like a boundless wall before him.
He pushed his palm forward.
Boom!
The palm seal struck the Apocalypse Pillar and left a mark. Shortly after, the mark disappeared.
There was no movement.
"The higher I go, the sturdier it is?" Lu Zhou was shocked.
Lu Zhou suddenly had a terrifying thought. If the Apocalypse Pillar was broken, would the Great Void return to the mortal realm?
In the ancient books, there were thoughts left behind by the great ancestors who prayed for the Great Void to return to the mortal realm.
Now that the mortal realm was in chaos, the Great Void that once represented peace and prosperity had left the mortal realm and come to the heavens.
Was it abandonment or pursuit?
Lu Zhou launched dozens of palm seals. All of them struck the Apocalypse Pillar. The results were the same. The marks vanished.
Whoosh!
Lu Zhou instantly appeared in the vacuum 1,000 meters above him.
The pressure from all directions pressed on him. He looked at the bright pearl that shone like the moon. He produced the Purple Glazed Ceramic and pushed it forward.
"Go!"
The Purple Glazed Ceramic's radiance shone brightly. It was like another bright moon as it tore through the gaps between the vacuum and the fog.
The fog seemed to have changed color. The darkness was dispelled.
The unknown land was once again illuminated.
Lu Zhou joined his palms together.
"Golden Buddha Body!"
Whizz!
The Golden Buddha Body resisted the pressure and sizzled.
He hovered in the air and waited for the Purple Glazed Ceramic to return.
Qin Renyue, who was waiting below, paced back and forth like an ant on a hot pan.
After waiting for a long time, Lu Zhou did not return. Hence, he flew around and paid close attention to his surroundings.
Occasionally, powerful beasts would fly past him, and he would hide.
…
In front of the Holy Temple in Great Void.
The cultivators stopped and waited.
After what seemed like hours, a voice rang from the Holy Temple.
"Has the matter of the Nine-Clawed Black Viper been investigated?"
A cultivator bowed and said, "We've sent a patrol team to Yuzhong on an ice dragon. Then, they went to Great Han. They haven't returned yet."
"Where's the Holy Maiden?"
"Xi and the Holy Maiden should be on their way."
As soon as the voice faded away …
Lan Xihe and his maidservant flew over from afar.
The cultivators turned to look at them with envy and respect in their eyes.
The others parted to make way for them.
Lan Xihe's eyes were as clear as water. His expression was unchanged as he looked in the direction of the Holy Temple and said, "Greetings, Temple Master."
"At ease."
"We're still investigating the Nine-Clawed Black Viper. The culprit is unknown, "Lan Xihe said bluntly.
The others exchanged a look.
Even the Holy Maiden could not find the culprit when she went to Yuzhong.
However, the Temple Master was not angered. Instead, he said, "Continue the investigation, then."
Lan Xihe said,
"There's still something I don't understand."
"What is it?"
"The Bright Bird should've obeyed my orders. Why did it leave with Yang Liansheng?"
Lan Xihe asked.
The others were even more puzzled.
They did not know what Lan Xihe was trying to say.
"Mister Ouyang has investigated this matter. It was the Bright Bird and Yang Liansheng who left without permission. They've received the punishment they deserved. They died together with the Fire God's Hill Light. "
Lan Xihe frowned slightly.
'Why would Pavilion Master Lu's disciple appear on Chongming Mountain? If no one guided him, how could such a coincidence happen? '
Lan Xihe said, "The Bright Bird has always obeyed my orders. It wouldn't have left for no reason."
"What do you mean?"
"Someone's behind this. I demand a thorough investigation," Lan Xihe said.
A cultivator said, "Aren't you going against Mister Ouyang?"
Lan Xihe shook her head, "I agree with Mister Ouyang's investigation. What I mean is that we should thoroughly investigate the mastermind behind the Bright Bird. The culprit cannot go unpunished. "
Her words were loud and clear.
The others were speechless.
"I agree with the Saintess."
"I agree as well."
One cultivator after another raised their hands in agreement.
After a long while, a voice came from the Temple.
"Do as the Saintess says."
"Yes."
As soon as he said that.
The Scales of Justice behind the crowd trembled and fluctuated greatly. Clang!! It returned to its original state.
The cultivators turned around, their eyes full of surprise.
Since ancient times, the imbalance had always been slow and lasted for a long time.
This sudden rise and fall caused everyone to be extremely shocked.
"What happened?"
"The formation under the Scales of Justice has changed. Something must've broken the balance."
Phew.
A shadow in a black robe appeared above the crowd.
The crowd quieted down.
The shadow in the black robe smiled and said, "Why don't I go take a look?"
The Temple was silent.
"Old Jiang, let's leave this trivial matter to them," a voice rang from the Temple.
The shadow in the black robe said, "Very well. If there's a need, I'll go."
The shadow in the black robe vanished.
…
At this moment, the Revelation Pillar in the corner rumbled loudly.
The earth shook, and the skies split open.
Space seemed to have been torn apart.
Lu Zhou who was hovering in the air saw the Purple Glazed Ceramic flying toward him like a meteor.
He was overjoyed. "It's here!"
His palm met it.
The meteor tore through the air and returned to Lu Zhou's palm.
He did not have time to feel the changes.
At this moment, the skies darkened, and night fell.
Lu Zhou descended at high speed.
He passed through the mist, layers of wind resistance, and wind blades.
When Qin Renyue heard the clap of thunder in the sky, he looked up.
After what seemed like hours, Lu Zhou broke through the mist and descended at high speed.
It was as though a god had descended.
Qin Renyue called out, "Brother Lu!"
Lu Zhou was like a fish in water now that he had a clear view and fresh air. He controlled the power of Heaven and Earth, the power of heaven, and the power of the Dao.
After a few flashes, he landed at the foot of the Revelation Pillar.
The corner was plunged into complete darkness.
The only source of light was the faint glow from beneath the mist.
Lu Zhou said, "Let's go."
"Alright."
The two of them sped toward the runic passageway.
Whizz!
They vanished in an instant.
…
The Evil Sky Pavilion.
The eastern pavilion was silent.
Yu Shangrong stood on a boulder outside the eastern pavilion. He stared at his master's residence.
He was curious. Why was his master not back yet?
"Mister Second, Eldest Senior Brother is back," Pan Zhong said.
"I see." Yu Shangrong's expression remained the same.
"Eldest Senior Brother seems to be in a good mood …" Pan Zhong said.
Yu Shangrong wanted to say something, but he hesitated.
He merely sighed. His body moved like a willow catkin as he flew away. After flying for a dozen meters, he turned around and said, "Old Seventh's death was the greatest blow to him. From now on, don't mention Si Wuya's name in front of him."
"Understood."
The energy swords shot out and danced in the back of the mountain.
Pan Zhong shook his head helplessly and said, "Mister Second is practicing the sword on his own again."
Zhou Jifeng walked over from afar and sighed.
"Of course, I understand that."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Zhenghai appeared in the distance.
"Mister First." The two of them bowed in unison.
Yu Zhenghai nodded and asked, "Where's Old Second?"
"He's practicing the sword on his own," Pan Zhong replied.
Yu Zhenghai said, "Old Seventh's death was a great blow to him. From now on, don't mention Si Wuya's name in front of him."
"Understood."
The two of them nodded.
However, how could they behave when they heard it?
Yu Zhenghai left.
…
The Endless Ocean.
The dark underwater world.
The cold seawater and endless darkness were the main theme of this place.
Occasionally, oceanic beasts would swim back and forth.
The oceanic beasts with a keen sense of smell picked up the fragrance from the bottom of the sea. They slowly gathered.
The beasts formed groups and moved about the bottom of the sea in search of the source of the fragrance.
When they saw the faint light coming from the bottom of the sea, they pounced toward it.
They were the main characters at the bottom of the sea. Nothing could stop them.
There were no humans here.
The oceanic beasts continued to swim downward.
The source of the light was an ink-colored coffin.
The fragrance wafted out of the coffin.
The starving oceanic beasts went into a frenzy and rammed themselves against the coffin.
Bam!
Bam!
The veins on the coffin released energy seals from time to time, killing the weaker oceanic beasts that got too close.
Blood filled the bottom of the sea. The corpses of miniature oceanic beasts were strewn all over the place.
Humans would always underestimate the terror of the sea. Yu Zhenghai was no different. When he sealed the coffin, he did not expect so many oceanic beasts to gather here.
A school of fish alone numbered in the millions.
The terrifying and greedy beasts became even more fearless in their home turf. They pounced on the coffin one after another.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The sound of collisions rang from the bottom of the sea.
An iron rod could be turned into a needle, and a drop of water could pierce a stone.
Under the relentless efforts of the oceanic beasts, a crack finally appeared on the coffin.
Crack!
When that crack appeared, the desire for delicacies and the even more alluring fragrance from the coffin caused all the sea beasts to lose their minds.
Like a carnival at the end of the world, countless sea beasts rushed over.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang … The concentrated sounds of collisions and the tearing sounds of the sea beasts' fangs attacked the coffin indiscriminately.
The frenzied sea beasts even had internal strife over the ownership of the delicacies.
Bubbles and blood kept appearing on the surface of the sea.
The seawater had been dyed red.
A large number of fish corpses floated on the surface of the sea. The surface of the sea was dyed red.
Robbing and fighting continued in the underwater world.
Unfortunately, no one could witness this spectacular scene.
Bang! Bang bang bang …
The sea beasts charged at the coffin in a frenzy.
Ka —
The coffin cracked open again!
Just as they were frantically fighting for food, an incomparably huge sea beast broke through the herd. Boom!
He killed tens of thousands of sea beasts with a single strike.
Rumble!
Seawater soared into the sky, forming a curtain of blood.
