The ends of the dress were long.
It was like a sparkling stream that was suffused with a pale yellow hue.
Princess Sang and the white crane stopped moving at the same time.
She did not speak. She was as silent as a statue.
She leaped down.
Although it was only a short while, Lu Zhou felt that time flew by faster than it had ever flown by.
Another three seconds passed in just a blink of an eye.
The blue sand in the Hourglass of Time was about to reach its bottom.
Emperor Mulberry looked around, the bridge of her fair and tall nose twitching slightly.
Swoosh.
She swiftly leaped onto the white crane and said coldly, "Let's go."
Swoosh!
In just a blink of an eye, the white crane carried Princess Sang into the distance and vanished from sight.
"…"
The short eight seconds felt like a century. It felt fast and torturously slow at the same time.
Sizzle!
The Hourglass of Time returned to its original state.
The Boundless Divine Concealment power stopped as well.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion did not sense the eight seconds that they had just experienced.
They looked up at the skies, but all they saw was the black mist. The white crane had flown into the distance and vanished from sight.
"Where's the white crane?" Zhu Honggong asked curiously.
"Heh … That's strange. It disappeared just like that." Kong Wen could not understand this.
Lu Zhou put the Hourglass of Time away.
He returned to his original position and activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic to restore his heavenly power.
Kong Wen said, "That's Princess Sang's team. This doesn't make sense … This doesn't make sense at all."
Zhu Honggong rolled his eyes and said, "I've overestimated you."
"It's an accident," Kong Wen said.
Lu Zhou was the only one who knew this was not an accident.
He looked at the northern skies and muttered to himself, "Perhaps, it's not a bad thing to avoid the brunt of the attack."
The others did not feel anything, but they did not know that these eight seconds were Lu Zhou's limit. Even for Chen Fu, it was not easy for him to remain still for eight seconds.
Lu Zhou had unleashed the techniques of a grand master. He had imbued it with the heavenly power and the Hourglass of Time. With the three combined, he had exhausted the heavenly power to achieve this result.
It was extremely difficult to control time.
Was there really no one in the world who could reverse time?
"Why do I feel like I'm in a trance?" Zhu Honggong asked.
"That's not an illusion. Perhaps, master did it." Yu Zhenghai patted Yu Zhenghai's shoulder.
"…"
Yu Zhenghai turned around and said in a clear voice, "Rest here. Raise your cultivation bases if you need to. Aren't so many Birth Chart Hearts enough to shut your mouths?"
Once the boss showed his might, no one dared to continue discussing.
They all went to find their own places to break through.
Under Lu Zhou's guidance, the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion had improved their cultivation bases by using the Life Suppressing Pillars.
Qin Naihe walked up to Lu Zhou and asked in a hushed tone, "Pavilion Master, I have a feeling that something's off. It's as though I've missed something."
Lu Zhou glanced at him and said, "Do you feel anything?"
Qin Naihe nodded and said, "A feeling that something is missing."
Only cultivators who had comprehended the power of the Dao could sense the frozen time of the Hourglass of Time. Furthermore, they could offset part of the effect. For example, the Hourglass of Time could stop time for eight seconds. The Little Spiritual Master, who had comprehended the Dao of Time, could offset about one second, which was seven seconds of stillness.
In other words, Qin Naihe might have comprehended the energy of the Dao.
Lu Zhou asked, "You've activated the 18th Birth Chart?"
Qin Naihe smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the blue crystal that Pavilion Master gave me. Ever since I received the Great Void aura, the opening of the eighteen birth charts has been very smooth. He even helped me open up the next Fate Palace. "
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Very good. The Evil Sky Pavilion will have another Perfected Master soon."
Everyone was shocked and looked at Qin Naihe.
"Immortal?"
"Congratulations, Brother Qin!" Kong Wen stepped forward to congratulate him.
The others also congratulated him.
The status of a Perfected Person was self-evident.
After so many years, there were only four Perfected Cultivators in the Green Lotus Sect.
Every time an expert appeared out of nowhere, the Green Lotus Sect would be plagued with disasters. Four people, no more, no less.
Tuoba Sicheng and Ye Zheng were dead, and now Qin Naihe was here.
This was probably the will of the heavens.
"I am indebted to all of you for your generosity. It is all thanks to Pavilion Master's special care that I am where I am today. If you need my help in the future, just let me know, "Qin Naihe said with a smile.
"You're not putting on airs?" With a whoosh, Mingshi Yin appeared beside him.
"Mr. Fourth, you don't have to joke with me. I'm not that kind of person," Qin Naihe said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The appearance of the real person also greatly stimulated the others.
It encouraged them to work harder.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion immediately immersed themselves in their cultivation.
The next morning.
Lu Zhou's heavenly power had recovered. He led the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion toward the rooster's crow.
Their journey was smooth sailing.
If there were no holy beasts, it would be difficult for any beasts to do anything to the Evil Sky Pavilion.
With weapons of mass destruction like Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, they were able to sweep through the beasts most of the time.
On the rare occasions when they encountered more troublesome beasts, a Perfected Master like Lu Zhou would be able to subdue them with a single palm strike.
Just like that, the Evil Sky Pavilion spent the next two months in a dull and boring manner.
As they advanced, they killed beasts and collected Birth Chart Hearts and natural treasures.
When they stopped, they would put down the Life Suppression Pillar and cultivate.
…
Time flew. Two months passed in just a blink of an eye.
They were not far from the rooster's crow and the Apocalypse Pillar.
Yan Zhenluo reported the resources they had accumulated over the past two months.
"Over the past two months, we've obtained about 25 beast king-grade Birth Chart Hearts, 65 high-grade Birth Chart Hearts, and 156 medium-grade Birth Chart Hearts. Three Mystic Micro Stones, five Mystic Life Herbs … "
He ignored the report of the low-grade Birth Chart Hearts.
With the Evil Sky Pavilion's current strength, they could find low-grade beasts on their own.
Lu Zhou nodded. "Distribute the Birth Chart Hearts to those who need them."
"Understood."
Over the past two months, Lu Zhou had only used the Birth Chart Heart of a beast king to raise his Birth Chart to 20. These two Birth Charts went smoothly. With the help of the Life Suppression Pillar, the difficulty was not high. Since Lu Zhou had two avatars, he had to look for an opportunity to activate his eighth blue leaf avatar.
"Is there a limit to the eighth leaf on the blue lotus?" Lu Zhou asked. Perhaps, it was due to the trauma of being restricted to the Eight-leaf stage of the golden lotus.
During the past two months, the cultivation bases of the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion had improved slightly.
If they continued at this pace and passed the remaining Apocalypse Pillars, the overall strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion would improve by leaps and bounds.
At this moment, Kong Wen and his brothers flew over from afar. They landed in front of Lu Zhou and said, "Pavilion Master, the Apocalypse Pillar is about 15 miles to the north. Here's a simple map I drew. "
He produced the map and placed it on the ground.
The others gathered around him.
"A ring-shaped lake?" Yan Zhenluo looked at the lake on the map.
"There are lakes near the Apocalypse Pillars. Some are big, and some are small. This ring-shaped lake is special. It's 10,000 feet wide, and there's a huge mulberry tree in the middle. That should be where Princess Mulberry lives. If we're going to the Apocalypse Pillar, I suggest we go around the ring-shaped lake. "
The others nodded.
Lu Zhou remembered Princess Mulberry, the long dress, and the white crane. He asked, "Is Princess Mulberry a human or a god's corpse?"
"The cultivation world has always referred to it as a god's corpse … Not many have seen it before," Kong Wen said.
Little Yuan 'er mumbled, "Master, I think we should go around it as well."
Lu Zhou turned to look at Little Yuan 'er and said, "In that case, let's go around it."
After saying this, he rose to his feet and leaped onto Whitzard.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion mounted their mounts and sped north.
For the Evil Sky Pavilion, it did not take them long to travel 15 miles.
…
On a cliff.
Lu Zhou rode Whitzard to the front. He looked at the Apocalypse Pillar that towered into the mist.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong moved to his sides and looked at the Apocalypse Pillar as well.
"It's finally time for the rooster to crow."
Kong Wen said, "It's still bright here. The rooster's crow signifies the beginning of a new day. It's also the closest place to the red line. "
Lu Zhou asked, "Where's the ring-shaped lake?"
"We went around the ring-shaped lake. It's about 100 miles to the west of us," Kong Wen said.
"100 miles."
Lu Zhou felt that the distance was too close.
The young girl's cultivation base was not low, and she did not seem like a god's corpse. Moreover, the young girl's expression and movements did not seem like a corpse that had lost consciousness. If a battle broke out within 100 miles, it would easily attract the attention of the enemy.
However, if it were not a god's corpse, he would be able to suppress his opponent with the Deadly Cards.
"Lead the way," Lu Zhou said.
Kong Wen nodded. The four brothers flew out one after another.
Ever since they joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, the four brothers had been working hard. They did their best in everything they did and did not complain.
This was acknowledged by everyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion. Hence, the four brothers were respected as well. This was something that could not be compared to when they were in the Blue Lotus realm. Now, when they worked, most of the driving force was no longer profit.
Kong Wen set up a large number of Tracking Talismans and spread out in all directions.
Lu Zhou turned to look at the towering ancient tree behind him and said, "Hua Wudao, Hua Yuexing."
"Yes, sir."
"Both of you, take the high ground. If any beasts make a move, kill them without mercy. Self-preservation is our priority. "
"Understood!"
The two of them worked together to attack and defend. It should not be a problem.
"Zhao Hongfu."
"Yes, sir." Zhao Hongfu stepped forward.
"Construct a rune tunnel in a hidden spot nearby. I'll give you three days. Can you do it? "Lu Zhou asked.
Zhao Hongfu smiled and said, "A small rune tunnel will take two days. A large one will take a month. "
"A small one will do."
"Not a problem," Zhao Hongfu said confidently.
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "Left and Right Emissaries, three Great Protectors, and four elders, protect Zhao Hongfu."
"Understood, sir," the others replied in unison.
"Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Qin Naihe. The three of you have the highest cultivation bases. You'll be free men for now, "Lu Zhou said.
The three of them nodded.
Lu Zhou swept his gaze across them and said, "The rest of you, stay here with Lu Wu and Cheng Huang."
"Understood."
With Lu Wu and Cheng Huang around, these people were the safest.
Lu Zhou flew into the air on Whitzard's back and said, "I'll go scout out the situation."
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou and Whitzard disappeared into the distance in just a blink of an eye.
The others rubbed their eyes.
Zhu Honggong felt as though he was dreaming. He said, "Since when did Whitzard run so fast?"
"It seems like it's fast."
Zhu Honggong pulled Dang Kang's ear and said, "When will you be this fast?"
Dang Kang grunted and sprawled on the ground, pretending to be dead.
Yu Zhenghai patted Bi An and said, "Fortunately, Bi An isn't competing in speed."
"Ji Liang as well," Yu Shangrong chimed in.
Little Yuan 'er looked to her left and right before she said, "My little phoenix can't really fly yet. It's not as good as those old men."
"…"
Lu Wu, Cheng Huang, Ying Zhao, and Dijiang turned to look.
'Great lady, is this a good idea?'
Only Dijiang barked twice. It was clear that in terms of speed, Dijiang was second to no one else.
Ying Zhao's Unrivaled Stride looked at the Apocalypse Pillar uneasily.
"Little Junior Sister, what's it doing?" Zhao Yue had been with Ying Zhao throughout the journey. She could not help but feel that Ying Zhao was uneasy.
Ying Zhao raised his head and said something with his mouth.
Conch translated, "Ying Zhao is from the core region. This is clearly the outer region, but there's an oppressive and dangerous aura from the core region. It's feeling uneasy."
"There's no need to worry. The pavilion master is here. It'll be fine."
The others nodded.
…
Meanwhile.
Lu Zhou and Whitzard passed through a forest.
To prevent any Formation traps, Lu Zhou brought out the Golden Taixu Mirror and shone it on them as they advanced.
"Whitzard, go higher."
Whitzard obeyed.
When they were 100 meters in the air, the golden mirror's illumination expanded several times.
Everywhere the Golden Mirror shone, it revealed itself.
Circles of light appeared in the jungle one after another.
"As expected, it's a Formation."
Lu Zhou and Whitzard avoided the circle of light and passed through a pile of rocks.
"Stop."
Lu Zhou stopped.
Then, he observed the formations.
If they were Grand Formations left behind by the sages or the Great Void, they would not be this fresh.
"Someone's there?"
Lu Zhou immediately steered Whitzard down and landed on a huge rock.
The Apocalypse Pillar that was thousands of feet in diameter was not far away.
The hazy mist made the Apocalypse Pillar look like it was being reflected in the water, faintly discernible.
Their surroundings were deathly silent.
Lu Zhou used his sniffing power.
He tried to identify the scents around him.
"The scent of the Chest-Piercer?" Lu Zhou frowned.
He smelled the familiar scent he had in the Ruin of Life.
It was pungent and slightly sour.
"500 meters ahead," Lu Zhou said.
Whitzard understood. It moved through the forest and stopped when it was 500 meters away.
Then, it looked down from the sky.
Lu Zhou saw the Chest-Piercer men sprawled on the ground.
They were like dried loaches as they lay there quietly.
Only a few of them were clothed. Most of them were bald and had dark skin.
"As expected, they're the Chest-Piercer men. Why are they here?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
Lu Zhou looked in the direction of the Apocalypse Pillar and said, "Let's go around them."
He did not want to alert the Chest-Piercer men. He decided to take a look at the Apocalypse Pillar first.
Whitzard turned around and went around the line of defense formed by the Chest-Piercer men.
Soon after, Lu Zhou went around the Chest-Piercer men.
After flying for some time, he finally arrived next to the Apocalypse Pillar.
The Apocalypse Pillar at the corner of the rooster's caw was almost the same as the one in the corner.
The scent of the treasures in the surroundings was thick.
There were also a few beasts resting nearby.
There should be Beast Emperors guarding this place as well.
Lu Zhou was in no hurry to enter the Apocalypse Pillar.
He wanted to survey his surroundings first before making a decision.
He adjusted his direction and flew toward the west along the Apocalypse Pillar.
Shortly after, he saw the clear ring-shaped lake.
The ring-shaped lake was several thousand meters in circumference. It was not big. In the unknown lands, this was considered small. It was so small that it was insignificant.
In the center of the ring-shaped lake, there was a huge mulberry tree.
The mulberry tree was blooming. Golden stars filled the sky. They were reflected in the lake and shone brightly.
The stars complemented the inky mist. It was as though he had entered a fairytale world.
"Princess Mulberry," Lu Zhou muttered to himself.
