Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion was trying to pass through the blue barrier to gain the Pillar of Revelation's approval. Unfortunately, no matter how hard they tried, they were all sent flying. Moreover, it was getting stronger. Qin Naihe, the freedman whose cultivation base was second only to Lu Zhou, grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood after he was sent flying.
Qin Naihe's injury shocked the others. They did not dare to try anymore. They generally believed that the level of one's cultivation base was the key to gaining the approval. If even Qin Naihe could not pass, how could the others?
They retreated and looked at the barrier warily.
Yan Zhenluo turned around and asked, "Qin Naihe, are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Left Emissary Yan. It's just a minor injury … I thought I'd have the highest chance of gaining the Pillar of Revelation's approval after absorbing the blue crystal's Great Void aura. I didn't think I'd be fated to do so." Qin Naihe sighed.
Yan Zhenluo said, "Perhaps, Tian Wu is right. The Pillar of Revelation depends on one's character."
"Character?"
The others exchanged a look.
The word 'character' was too metaphysical. It was just like the study of constellations. Even though he was clearly an uncouth fellow, when he saw words of praise like 'meticulous', 'thoughtful', 'coarse', and so on, it was very easy for him to relate to them. He would even savor them carefully.
Most people did not have a clear understanding of themselves.
Zhu Honggong patted his chest and said, "In that case, it's me."
“???”
"All of you underestimate me. When I was in Yellow Lotus, I was known as the Holy Master. I was respected and loved by the people. I risked my life for them and killed enemies … It's no exaggeration to say that I was like that in Yellow Lotus! "Zhu Honggong gave them a thumbs-up.
The others nodded. They felt slightly awkward.
As the saying goes, others praise a flower, but you praise your ass. Who would brag about themselves like that?
Mingshi Yin said, "Try again, then."
"Alright."
Zhu Honggong moved as though he was flying.
He charged forward like a raging bull.
The moment he took out the blue barrier, the barrier bounced him away as if it had an elastic force.
Bam!
There was no doubt about it.
The bouncing force grew stronger.
Zhu Honggong grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood as he fell limply to the ground.
"Mr. Eighth, are you alright?" Yan Zhenluo asked with concern.
"I'm fine." Zhu Honggong appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly, he was panicking.
Mingshi Yin pointed at the transparent barrier and said, "Old Eighth, continue …"
"Uh … Do you want to try again, Fourth Senior Brother?" Zhu Honggong asked.
"Forget about me. I've already been acknowledged by the Apocalypse Pillar."
Protector Meng Changdong hadn't tried it since he was sent flying. He took the opportunity to ask, "Are there any benefits to being acknowledged?"
"Look at the center."
Lu Li said, "This should be the seed of the Great Void in the form of a sprout. Below it is the soil. If you can gain the approval of the Pillar of Revelation, you can obtain the soil of the Great Void and possess the breath of the Great Void. This is a great fortune for cultivation talent. "
Hearing this, everyone became even more expectant.
Initially, he had wanted to give up, but his passion was reignited by the aura of the Great Void and the Great Void Seed.
It was almost impossible to wait for the Great Void Seed to mature. However, the aura of the Great Void was a rare treasure.
"Again!"
Everyone began to try.
Zhu Honggong sat limply on the ground. He kept waving his hands and said, "I give up … You guys continue. Ouch, it hurts!"
"…"
The others were speechless.
Lu Zhou had been observing the changes in the others. He was trying to find a pattern in them that was acknowledged by the Pillar of Revelation.
He also used his Heavenly Writing power to observe their movements, the changes in their auras, and the changes in the barrier. Unfortunately, he did not find anything out of the ordinary.
Strangely, as the others continued to try, the barrier's elasticity grew stronger. It was beginning to hurt them.
"Annoying! This isn't fun at all! "Little Yuan 'er gave up. She stomped her foot and retreated to the side.
The others felt more at ease now.
If even the little ancestor could not do it, it made sense that the others could not.
Little Yuan 'er's talent was heaven-defying.
If she was acknowledged by the Pillar of Revelation, she would be even more powerful.
Conch gave up on trying as well. She walked up to Little Yuan 'er's side and watched the show.
Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng had the greatest desire for the Great Void aura. However, they were too weak. They could not withstand the rebound of the elasticity and were forced to give up.
The two of them retreated dejectedly.
Kong Wen and his brothers felt the same way as well.
The older, the wiser. The four elders were not as reckless as the younger ones. Instead, they tried to enter the barrier slowly. They did not push back too hard. This way, they could minimize the damage caused by the elasticity.
The others followed suit. They advanced slowly as though they were being pushed by a spring.
When they felt that they could not do it, they immediately retreated. In this way, the transparent blue barrier was like a soft ball.
"Could it be one of the four elders?"
Leng Luo, Zuo Yushu, Pan Litian, and Hua Wudao were the first to enter the Evil Sky Pavilion. Naturally, Lu Zhou hoped that they would improve.
The four elders advanced from four different directions at the same time. When they were about ten meters away from the barrier, the four of them were bounced back by a huge force.
"This won't do."
The others shook their heads.
"Do you still want to try?"
Zuo Yushu looked at the other three elders.
The four of them were drenched in sweat and panting heavily. They did not even have enough Primal Qi to condense into energy.
"I give up," Leng Luo was the first to say.
"Old Leng, you're giving up just like that?" Pan Litian said with slight disdain, "This isn't your style."
Leng Luo said, "Old Pan, you continue. I'll watch."
"I give up as well."
"…"
'We're all cowards. Why must we hurt each other?'
Hua Wudao shook his head and stopped trying.
Zuo Yushu was unwilling to give up. She tried again, but the result was the same. She could only retreat to the side, expressing her helplessness.
In no time at all, Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Duanmu Sheng, Zhao Yue, and Ye Tianxin were the only ones left.
Their thirst for strength was stronger than anyone else. They had persisted until now and had not given up.
"I think Mister First will be acknowledged."
"I'll bet on Mister Second."
Yu Zhenghai looked at the barrier, feeling helpless. In truth, he had thoughts of giving up. If it were not for Yu Shangrong's persistence, he would have retreated to the side a long time ago.
Yu Shangrong had the same opinion as well.
The others had placed their hopes on them. They were waiting for them to create a miracle.
"Eldest Senior Brother."
"Second Junior Brother."
Yu Shangrong said indifferently, "As senior brothers, we shouldn't fight with the others for such an opportunity, right?"
Yu Zhenghai nodded and said, "You have a point, Second Junior Brother. As the Eldest Senior Brother, I didn't expect this. Mhm … I shouldn't have participated in this. "
He stepped back.
Yu Shangrong said, "Even Eldest Senior Brother has retreated. How can I be thick-skinned enough to fight with my junior brothers and sisters for the Great Void?"
“???”
Everyone was speechless.
Duanmu Sheng cupped his fists at Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai and said, "Thank you for going easy on me, Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother."
"…"
"You're welcome." Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong accepted the gratitude without batting an eyelid.
Duanmu Sheng patted his chest and said, "Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother are the most talented and have the highest cultivation bases. I, Duanmu Sheng, have nothing else to say since you've given me such a good opportunity. If you need anything from now on, Senior Brothers, feel free to call me."
"…"
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong felt slightly embarrassed.
"Third Junior Brother, please continue."
"Alright."
Duanmu Sheng charged toward the barrier.
His method didn't change much from before. It was just a simple charge.
Then it bounced off.
Zhao Yue smiled and said, "Third Senior Brother, it's too early to say who it is now. Maybe it's mine. "
Ye Tianxin chimed in, "Not necessarily. “
The three of them continued to attempt to enter the barrier.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
No matter what method they used, the barrier would not let them in.
After trying for two hours, the three of them were exhausted and slightly injured. However, they were still bounced off the barrier.
Mingshi Yin stroked his chin and frowned as he said, "No way. Don't tell me it's Old Seventh's?"
He knew the Apocalypse Pillar had to acknowledge the Great Void Seed. In other words, the Great Void Seed that grew here would be acknowledged by the Apocalypse Pillar. Conversely, it could not be acknowledged.
Since no one from the Evil Sky Pavilion was acknowledged, it meant it was someone else.
Si Wuya was the only one who was not present.
Bam!
Bam! Bam!
The three of them reeled back at the same time and spat out a mouthful of blood.
When Lu Zhou saw his disciples were injured, he raised his hand and said, "That's enough."
The others looked at Lu Zhou who had been silent all this while.
"Perhaps … nobody can be acknowledged by the Apocalypse Pillar here," Lu Zhou said.
When the others heard this, they were slightly disappointed.
"That's such a pity."
Some of them had already thought of Si Wuya. However, due to the circumstances, they did not dare to bring it up. They could only sigh and express their helplessness.
Pan Zhong said regretfully, "Although I can't be acknowledged, I'm sure you can. Why don't you let them try?"
"The rebound is getting stronger. If this continues, they might be severely injured," Yan Zhenluo said as he looked at the barrier's power.
"This thing is strange. Why is it different from the one in the corner? The barrier in the corner didn't get any stronger." Mingshi Yin stepped forward and touched the barrier.
Zzz!
It was as though he was electrocuted.
He could not get any closer.
He did not even have the right to try.
He had no choice but to retreat.
"Are the Apocalypse Pillars repelling each other?" Yan Zhenluo asked.
"Mister Fourth has been acknowledged. I don't think he needs it anymore," Lu Li said.
The others nodded.
"Pavilion Master, why don't you give it a try?" Pan Zhong suggested.
The others looked at Lu Zhou, hoping the pavilion master would succeed.
"Pavilion Master, you seem to have entered the corner. Does that mean you've been acknowledged by the Apocalypse Pillar as well?" Yan Zhenluo asked.
Qin Naihe shook his head and said, "That's impossible.
The Apocalypse Pillar will only acknowledge one person for a certain period of time. Since it has acknowledged Mister Fourth, it won't acknowledge anyone else. "
"Then, why can you enter, Pavilion Master?"
"Perhaps, those who are too strong can enter," Qin Naihe said.
This was the most logical explanation.
Lu Zhou did not say anything else. He walked forward.
Just as he was about to touch the barrier …
Duanmu Sheng suddenly leaped up. He stabbed his Overlord Spear at the barrier and said, "I want to try again!"
Bam!
Duanmu Sheng was sent flying.
This time, the force was so great that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Mister Third!"
Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng ran over and helped him up.
Duanmu Sheng still looked indignant.
"I'm fine!"
He stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. "I don't believe I can't get in!"
"Third Junior Brother, you've been rejected by the Apocalypse Pillar. If this goes on, the backlash will be too great. Stop trying," Yu Zhenghai advised.
Duanmu Sheng was indignant.
The people around him were advising him not to try again.
However, he felt it was a pity that he did not receive the pillar's approval.
"There are other Pillars of Apocalypse that we can try. There's no need to waste our energy on this one," Qin Naihe said. "Legend has it that the Apocalypse Pillar only approves one quality."
When Little Yuan 'er heard this, she looked at Mingshi Yin curiously and asked, "What rare quality does Fourth Senior Brother have that the Apocalypse Pillar approves of?"
The others looked at Mingshi Yin.
Distance made the heart grow fonder. It was difficult to have a good impression of Mingshi Yin when they were too close.
Lu Zhou glanced at Mingshi Yin. If he had to describe Mingshi Yin's quality, it would be 'cowardice' or 'cunning'. However, these were not noble qualities.
Mingshi Yin. "…"
…
While the others were still puzzled, the barrier expanded by 30%. It was clear that its power had increased.
"It's stronger."
"Stand back!"
The others retreated.
If they touched the barrier again at this moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The barrier was like the starry sky of the universe. It was vast, profound, and mysterious.
The tiny Great Void Seed in the middle broke through the ground. The seedling grew healthily in the air.
The energy in the surroundings flowed and converged.
Lu Zhou walked up to them and said, "Stand back."
The others retreated to the corridor.
Lu Zhou raised his palm. He had just touched the barrier when he felt a surge of power.
Bam!
Lu Zhou reeled back.
The powerful explosion caused his arm to go numb.
The power of the heavenly form!
The Golden Buddha Body!
The two powers overlapped and buzzed as they stabilized in the air.
"What a powerful force!" Qin Naihe exclaimed in shock.
"Stop trying," Yu Zhenghai said.
"Who the f * ck would dare to try? Isn't that suicidal? "Mingshi Yin looked on speechlessly." No one in the Evil Sky Pavilion can pass this? "
Even the pavilion master could not obtain its approval.
The Apocalypse Pillar was too peculiar.
At this moment, a voice rang from the direction of the Great Mulberry Tree on the circular lake.
"You'll have to be brave enough to obtain its approval. The rooster's crow on the Apocalypse Pillar is the beginning and the end of the day. It's life, and it's death. The barrier has lit up. This means that it's allowing you to take the next test. Those who fail will die. "
Lu Zhou replied, "Courage?"
"Let me remind you that if you fail the test, you'll be suppressed by the Apocalypse Pillar. You'll never be able to rise again. That's true death. Alright, if you're brave enough, you can try it now. "
Lu Li said, "If it's about courage, Mister First, Mister Second, Mister Fifth, Mister Sixth … All of you can try. In my opinion, none of you lack courage."
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were speechless.
The two of them turned to look at Lu Li.
'Don't talk nonsense!'
"Old Eighth …"
Before Yu Zhenghai could finish speaking, he hastily waved his hand and said, "I'll pass. Although I have courage, there's no need for me to prove myself. There's no need for me to prove myself. "
The others exchanged glances, but none of them dared to step forward.
Lu Zhou projected his voice, "Princess Sang, what do you mean by courage?"
"I'll answer you if you beg me. I've already crossed the line, "Princess Sang said.
"He's being unreasonable," Little Yuan 'er said.
"Hm?"
"Little girl, you're the first human to call me 'human'. Just based on what you said, I can tell you what courage is …."
She lowered her voice and said,
"In my opinion, having no fear in one's heart and having a direction in one's heart is courage."
She shook her head and said, "I don't understand. I'm not afraid. I have courage!"
"It's not enough."
Princess Mulberry's laughter was mixed with her words. "For example, not a single one of you dares to throw your lives away. That's because you don't have the courage. No matter who it is, anyone who dares to touch the barrier will definitely die. Do you dare?"
"I dare!"
Duanmu Sheng suddenly charged forward with the Overlord Spear in his hand.
"Mister Third!"
Everyone cried out in alarm.
Alas, it was too late. He could only watch as Duanmu Sheng charged forward like a bolt of lightning.
When Lu Zhou used the Hourglass of Time, he discovered that the blue sand had reached the bottom.
He wanted to use his Dao power again, but Duanmu Sheng was already at the barrier!
It was too fast.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion sent Duanmu Sheng reeling.
Duanmu Sheng flew backward and crashed into the inner wall of the Apocalypse Pillar.
Boom!
Then, he crashed to the ground.
He was no longer breathing!
"Third Senior Brother!"
"Third Junior Brother!"
The others were stunned.
A regretful voice rang from the circular lake again. "Alas, you've failed."
Yu Zhenghai gritted his teeth and said, "Witch! How dare you make a fool out of us! I'll kill you! "
Swoosh!
Yu Zhenghai rose to his feet and charged forward.
Lu Zhou made a grabbing motion with his fingers.
He moved as fast as lightning and captured Princess Mulberry with a hand seal. He said, "Don't be reckless."
Princess Mulberry continued to say with a smile, "I told you the method out of goodwill, and yet, you're blaming me?"
"Who knows if your method is real or not?" Little Yuan 'er replied.
"Uh … It's half real," Princess Mulberry said.
"…"
The others were infuriated when they heard this.
How was this any different from lying?
Lu Zhou said, "Do you really think I can't kill you?"
Princess Mulberry said, "I'm dead to begin with!"
"In my opinion, the fact that you can say that you're conscious means you're alive. Since you've killed my disciple, I'll let you rest here forever. You won't be able to speak, move, and lose your consciousness, "Lu Zhou said.
"Oh."
Princess Mulberry said, "However, I didn't lie to you. That method is real. He can only blame himself for lacking courage and not being acknowledged by the Pillar of Revelation. "
"You're still quibbling!" Yu Zhenghai said in a deep voice.
The others turned to look at the extremely peculiar barrier.
The others were still puzzled by this.
A ball of blue energy shot out of the barrier and landed on Duanmu Sheng.
Swoosh!
Duanmu Sheng flew into the barrier!
His blood was swiftly stripped off his body and scattered in the starry sky.
A huge amount of energy gathered in his dantian's sea of Qi.
"…"
"This … works too?" Mingshi Yin exclaimed in shock.
"If … if I'd known this would happen … I … I would've gone to my death!"
Why did his words sound so awkward?
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Energy rippled.
"Great Void Seed."
The others looked at Duanmu Sheng.
