The Unknown Lands were simply too vast. Even if one knew the direction and could capture the scent left in the soil, it was still an extremely difficult task to pursue the other party. The Chest-Piercing High Priest's method was undoubtedly the best.
To the chest-pierced man, waiting for the hare to come to him had the least losses and was also the most convenient. Even if he couldn't wait for the other party, he wouldn't lose anything.
Being chased by so many people in an unknown place was not an easy task.
Under the guidance of the High Priest, the chest-pierced man changed his direction. He took a shortcut and crossed the Inner Zone, heading toward Rooster Crow.
The people from the Evil Sky Pavilion were not in a hurry. They did not intend to reach the Rooster's Crow Apocalypse Pillar too soon.
Their main goal was to increase their strength, not to rush into danger and confront the Great Void.
…
Five days later.
Near a crevice in a canyon.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion stopped to rest.
Once Yan Zhenluo counted the resources he obtained along the way, he reported seriously.
"Pavilion Master, in the past five days, we've obtained a total of three Beast King Fate Hearts, 15 high-level Fate Hearts, 58 mid-level Fate Hearts, and 120 low-level Fate Hearts. There are also a few Heavenly Treasures … "
Lu Zhou nodded. This was a good harvest.
The Beast King's Life Providence Heart is ultimately lacking.
Kong Wen, who was standing nearby, said, "We set off from the Mist Forest and have been walking along the periphery. The number of Direbeasts we encountered was limited. Unless they reached the Inner Circle. But that's too dangerous. "
Lu Zhou was not alone, after all. He was the entire Evil Sky Pavilion. With so many people around, it was inevitable that something would go wrong. It was safer to move around the perimeter.
"Is anyone hurt?" Lu Zhou asked.
"It's just a small scratch. It's nothing serious."
Lu Zhou nodded. He walked to the side of the ravine with his hands on his back and looked down. He felt as though the ravine was bottomless. He could not help but frown as he said, "There's a ravine like this in the unknown lands?"
Kong Wen smiled and said, "It is indeed very rare. This kind of canyon can be encountered in the periphery. Going deeper into the unknown land, there is none. Rumor has it that this is how the fission of the earth began. "
"The fission of the earth?"
"At the beginning of the world, the Nine Lotus World did not exist. The world was originally one. Cracks appeared in the ground, and slowly, the Nine Lotuses emerged, forming the vast world we have today," Kong Wen said. "It's normal that Pavilion Master doesn't know about it."
Lu Zhou asked in confusion, "There's water beneath the valley?"
"No one knows about that. Maybe, "Kong Wen said.
Lu Zhou made a grabbing motion with his palm. A rock fell.
Hu!
After an unknown period of time, there was still no reply.
"If Ninelotus was formed from the cracking of the earth, does this mean that a new world is forming?" Lu Zhou asked.
Kong Wen was stunned. He didn't expect the Pavilion Master to be as interested in research as Mister Seventh.
"Please forgive this subordinate's ignorance. This is beyond my knowledge."
"It's alright … If Old Seventh is here …" Lu Zhou stopped halfway through his sentence.
Instead, she turned around and left the canyon.
…
Even though it was noon, the Unknown Lands were still shrouded in fog, and no sunlight could be seen.
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "The Great Void stands high above us and blocks the mortal realm … That's the real reason the unknown lands are shrouded in sunlight all year round."
Kong Wen continued to chuckle, "Although this subordinate's cultivation is not high, I do have a slightly immature view."
"Speak."
"The sages of the past often said that there are no immortal things in the world, and there are no immortal humans. The Great Void was high and mighty, but in the end, it was still based on humans. It's just that our lifespans are short, so we can't see it, "Kong Wen said.
These words attracted Lu Li's attention.
"That's an interesting way of putting it. Just like how the cultivation world won't attack mortals, mortals are the foundation of the cultivation world. They're the foundation of new blood. This must be the reason why the Great Void is trying its best to maintain the balance in Ninelotus. "
Kong Wen said, "The Great Void has always been like this. When there's nothing else to do, the balancer has to eliminate factors that threaten his position. He's truly high and mighty and inviolable. "
Lu Li said,
"If one isn't in a position, one shouldn't meddle in politics. If you're in that position one day, perhaps, you'll do the same. "
Kong Wen. "…"
He was stumped by Lu Li's words.
Since ancient times, when the dynasties came and went, the new rulers would always repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty.
History would never repeat itself, but it was always strikingly similar.
"I hope I won't become the kind of person I hate …" Kong Wen said with a chuckle.
Lu Zhou nodded as he listened, but he did not comment.
At this moment, Hua Wudao walked over from afar. He bowed and said, "Pavilion Master."
"What is it?"
"All these years in the red lotus domain, I've been diligently cultivating the Six Compatible Seal and have mastered the Square Box. Although I'm not at the peak, I've made some progress. That's why … "Hua Wudao stammered," I'd like some guidance, Pavilion Master. "
Hua Wudao had cultivated the Great Turtle Retreat Technique for 20 years just to challenge the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Things had changed with the passage of time.
Hua Wudao had come to terms with reality a long time ago. He was merely asking Lu Zhou for guidance.
When the others saw this, their interest was piqued.
They crowded around Hua Wudao.
"Elder Hua, are you asking for a beating? Your Great Turtle Retreat Technique is indeed powerful, but in the hands of the pavilion master … "Pan Litian said with a smile.
"Elder Pan, I understand as well … Without destruction, there can be no construction. Without guidance from an elite, I'll forever be stuck in my own ways," Hua Wudao said.
Leng Luo placed his hands on his back and said, "It's a good thing to have the courage to challenge an expert."
The others nodded.
They did not think they could do that.
Seek guidance from the pavilion master? They could not even challenge the pavilion master, let alone spar with him.
Lu Zhou nodded. He looked at Hua Wudao and said, "Alright. For the sake of fairness, I'll lower my cultivation base to around the Three Birth Charts of a Thousand Worlds."
Hua Wudao bowed and said, "Thank you, Pavilion Master."
He took a step back.
Lu Zhou stood calmly and did not move.
Hua Wudao stepped forward. The Eight Trigrams Six Compatible Seal was formed.
The ten scripts flew out one after another. The Square Box circled around Hua Wudao.
"The Square Box has entered the flood-grade as well."
"The Sky Martial Court has accumulated a lot of materials over the years, and there are many talented people forging weapons. It's only natural that it's in the flood-grade. Moreover, the Square Box is a desolate-grade item to begin with," Meng Changdong said.
"Elder Hua, your Six Compatible Seal is almost at the point of perfection."
The ten glittering golden characters formed a circle.
At this moment, Lu Zhou chose to attack. He struck with a palm seal and unleashed the Buddhist Great Seal of Fearlessness.
The Great Seal of Fearlessness flew out, causing the others to hold their breaths.
Perhaps, they were used to seeing Lu Zhou kill people with a single strike. When they saw the palm seal flying toward them, they shuddered and instinctively retreated.
Hua Wudao was extremely nervous as well. He kept telling himself to hold on. 'You must hold on! You must hold on!'
Boom!
The Great Seal of Fearlessness collided with the Six Compatible Seal.
Energy scattered.
Hua Wudao staggered three steps back before he managed to stabilize himself.
Lu Zhou praised, "Your defense has improved a lot. Not bad."
"Thank you for the praise, Pavilion Master."
He stepped forward as the energy seal on his body expanded.
Lu Zhou spread his arms. He tapped the ground with one foot and appeared 10 meters in the air.
"Abandon Wisdom!"
A familiar golden palm seal appeared.
The familiar Four Scripts Seal hung between his fingers as it descended from the sky.
In just a few breaths, it arrived before Hua Wudao. The ten scripts swiftly merged to form the most powerful defense.
Boom!
A powerful blast of energy spread out.
The others summoned their protective energies to protect themselves.
Hua Wudao's legs were half buried in the ground. The Six Compatible Seal merely trembled slightly, but he was unharmed.
"Elder Hua, that's amazing … To think you can withstand the pavilion master's attack," Meng Changdong said as he applauded.
Lu Zhou hovered in the air and looked down at Hua Wudao. He struck again.
"Great Vajra Wheel Hand Seal."
The golden palm seal was faster than before.
Hua Wudao had just caught his breath when he had no choice but to raise his hands to support the Six Compatible Seal.
He let out a cry, and the Six Compatible Seal expanded outwards.
Bam!
This time, the Six Compatible Seal was destroyed. Hua Wudao reeled back.
The others. "…"
It seemed like the pavilion master was a sore loser. This did not seem like a palm seal with three Birth Charts!
The pavilion master was someone who cared about his reputation. Three strikes was enough to make Hua Wudao look good …
The pavilion master was the pavilion master, after all. He had secretly increased his strength. After all, the others would not be able to tell. There was no such thing as absolute fairness in the world.
Everyone had their own thoughts, but they maintained a smile on their faces.
Lu Zhou descended.
He said, "Do you know how you lost?"
Hua Wudao stood up and said with a sigh, "Pavilion Master, your final palm strike wasn't as powerful as the previous two, but it destroyed the Six Compatible Seal. This means that my seal has a limit. It's becoming less useful in the Thousand Realms. "
The others. "…"
'Elder Hua, you're good at flattery.'
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "If it's a Hundred Tribulations Insight, your Six Compatible Seal and the Square Box can withstand all attacks. However, it's useless in the Thousand Realms."
Hua Wudao felt slightly awkward and uncomfortable.
He said, "I've been seeking a breakthrough over the past two years to solve this problem. Alas … I haven't been able to figure it out. "
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and said,
"Originally, there were no roads in this world. It's just that as more people walked, there were roads."
Zhu Honggong applauded and said, "Good … good poem!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Everyone's eyes were focused on him.
'Is this a f * cking poem?'
Zhu Honggong scratched his head. He grinned awkwardly and said, "I mean, Master's words are like a wake-up call. Priceless advice … Man, the truth of life …" His voice grew softer as he spoke. "It's … thought-provoking …"
Hua Wudao was puzzled.
"What do you mean, Pavilion Master?"
"Innovation."
Lu Zhou spoke frankly with assurance, "The golden lotus domain's cultivation method is different from the other eight lotus domains. The golden lotus domain is the only place where the lotus-severing path is prevalent. It's no longer bound by the golden lotus. There's no need for us to follow the old path and seek a cultivation path that's suitable for us. "
"Suitable …" Hua Wudao muttered to himself.
The others nodded when they heard this.
Lu Zhou raised his palm and continued to say, "For example, red lotus cultivators can't use red leaves as swords, but golden lotus cultivators can."
A miniature golden lotus avatar appeared above Lu Zhou's palm.
The golden flames rose slowly. The golden leaves were blinding.
Lu Zhou pushed the golden lotus to the left. The golden lotus swept past a huge rock and easily split it open.
"The same goes for the Six Compatible Seal. There's no need to rigidly adhere to the cultivation framework. For example … like this. "
Lu Zhou stepped forward.
He uttered a word with each step.
Heaven, Earth, Life, Death, Water, Fire, Being, Non-Being, Separation, Union …
He thought it would be over after he uttered 10 words.
To his surprise, Lu Zhou continued forward and began the 11th word: Heaven.
He took another step. The 12th word: Earth.
The 13th word: Life.
So on and so forth, death, water, fire, being, non-being, separation, union …
Hua Wudao was stunned.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion who were watching were stunned as well.
"24 words?" Hua Wudao exclaimed hoarsely.
"Although there's a need to innovate and increase the upper limit in order to break the limit, isn't it too much to increase the 24 words in one go?" Pan Litian rubbed his eyes.
When he looked closely, he saw it was still 24 words.
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "To be more precise, there's no upper limit."
He continued walking forward.
Another Heaven, Earth, Life, and Death appeared. The cross spun.
He quickened his pace.
Countless script seals surrounded Lu Zhou.
Gradually, they formed a sphere of script seals.
When Lu Zhou stood in front of Hua Wudao, he repeated, "There's no upper limit."
"…"
The golden lotus had broken the shackles.
There was no longer a need for it to be restricted.
There was a limit to one's cultivation base and talent. If one's thoughts were shackled as well, one would be unbelievably stupid.
Lu Zhou placed his arms on his back.
The word seals formed into spheres and danced in all directions like golden butterflies.
Wherever they went, plants and trees were reduced to ashes. Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
Under Lu Zhou's perfect control, the script seals brushed past their bodies and ears.
…
When the script seals were completely gone.
Everything fell silent.
Lu Zhou's guidance ended here.
Lu Zhou's expression was calm as he looked at Hua Wudao who had learned a lot.
He knew Hua Wudao understood now. He saw inspiration and enlightenment in Hua Wudao's eyes.
"It can be used for both offense and defense. It can be used for both offense and defense. "
After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his original position.
There was a brief moment of silence.
Hua Wudao finally said, "A few words from you, Pavilion Master, are better than ten years of studying. I've learned a lot. "
Lu Zhou looked at the others and said, "If you have any questions, I'll teach you everything I know …"
Puff!
Zhu Honggong lunged forward. He staggered and fell to his knees.
He was dumbfounded, shocked, and excited. He did not know if he was happy or angry. His expression kept changing. He turned around and said through gritted teeth, "Who f * cking kicked me …"
Lu Zhou was puzzled. "Someone kicked you?"
Zhu Honggong's expression changed immediately as he said with a smile, "Uh … No, no, no. It's me who wants to learn from you, master."
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. He walked up to Zhu Honggong and looked down at him with his hands on his back as he said, "You've been away from me for a long time. Indeed, I need to test your strength. Get up. "
"Huh? There's no need to test me. I admit defeat. " Zhu Honggong said with a smile, "Just get to the point, master. I'll remember everything. I promise I won't miss a single word. I'll go back and reform myself."
Lu Zhou shook his head and said indifferently.
"We can only judge after we exchange blows."
"Huh?"
Zhu Honggong's mouth widened. He seemed to be laughing and crying as he stood up.
He slowly summoned his avatar.
Bam!
As soon as the avatar appeared, Lu Zhou pushed out with his fingers. Mountains crumbled and the earth cracked.
Zhu Honggong squealed like a pig being slaughtered as he reeled back.
"Master … I'm not ready yet!"
"Catch him off guard." Lu Zhou's projection moved forward and launched another palm seal.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Three consecutive palm seals landed on Zhu Honggong's avatar.
Zhu Honggong did not even have the chance to land. He was sent flying again.
"…"
"What's this technique called?"
"Seizing the opportunity?"
