Meng Zhang's phantom was faintly discernible, becoming less and less obvious.
He repeated the words, "Death is the best restraint for mankind..."
Meng Zhang nodded slightly, savoring the aftertaste.
Lu Zhou observed the changes in Meng Zhang's emotions. Unfortunately, Meng Zhang lived up to its name as one of the four spirits that had existed since the ancient times. He could not tell what it was thinking. It showed no emotions at all. Previously, Lu Zhou had tried to provoke Meng Zhang with his words. However, based on his observation, Meng Zhang was not as angry as he had thought.
Lu Zhou said, "Since you're not obeying the orders of the Great Void, and you're doing this to prevent the world from collapsing, will you allow the people of the Great Void to enter the Heaven Awaken Realm?"
Meng Zhang replied, "I will."
"Isn't that unfair to the people of the world?" Lu Zhou asked.
"There is no such thing as fairness in this world." Meng Zhang's tone was as calm as ever.
"At least it's relatively fair."
Lu Zhou continued to say, "In a sense, you allowed the Great Void cultivators to enter the Heaven Awaken Realm but refused to allow the Nine Lotus cultivators to come close. You're helping the wicked."
"When it comes to longevity, you seem to agree with this old man's point of view. The meaning of death is to control humanity, to allow humanity's inheritance to have hope and vitality. Instead of letting the people at the bottom be oppressed forever. "
Meng Zhang's tone was a little doubtful. "You are an enemy of the Great Void?"
"Not really." Lu Zhou shook his head. "I'm just fighting for my life."
"Fight for life?"
"As you said, there is no such thing as fairness in this world. If someone wants to kill me, how can I just sit back and do nothing? "Lu Zhou's tone was calm as well.
Meng Zhang was silent.
When the problem was solved by force, what was left was negotiation. The loser often had to make compromises. There were no winners or losers in this confrontation.
After a moment of silence, Meng Zhang said,
"I never work for the Great Void. Before this, I allowed humans from outside the Great Void to enter the Tian Qi. "
Lu Zhou was slightly stunned.
This was out of his expectations.
"Who can obtain the recognition of the four Heavenly Spirits?"
Meng Zhang leisurely said, "An interesting human."
"There's such a human in the Nine Lotus?" Lu Zhou was puzzled. He asked, "Who's he?"
Meng Zhang did not answer Lu Zhou.
As one of the Four Heavenly Spirits, it didn't have to answer whatever others asked it.
The arrogance that seeped deep into his bones wasn't something that could be lowered so easily.
However, considering the uniqueness of the person in front of him and the understanding of death that he had just explained, Meng Zhang said, "He has obtained the recognition of Tian Qi, and his future is limitless."
Meng Zhang did not mention this person's name.
He didn't reveal any relevant information.
Lu Zhou said.
"Humans who are acknowledged by Tian Qi are one in a million. I didn't expect that someone would beat me to it. "
Meng Zhang continued.
"I treat all human cultivators equally."
"In that case, I'd like to give it a try. What do you say?" Lu Zhou asked.
Meng Zhang's illusory figure began to change as he flew upwards, turning into a huge illusory figure that resembled a long dragon. He entered the dense fog and opened his eyes. Two bright moons shone in the sky.
"I will give you this chance."
With that, Meng Zhang closed his eyes, and the world returned to darkness.
If it wasn't for the charred surroundings, it would be hard to believe that God Meng Zhang had appeared. He also found it hard to believe that Meng Zhang would be guarding this place.
Lu Zhou nodded slightly.
He turned around and sent a voice transmission.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion sighed in relief.
Yu Shangrong and Little Yuan 'er hurried over. The others remained where they were.
They had already experienced Meng Zhang's power.
When Yu Shangrong and Little Yuan 'er were next to him, a thunderous voice rang out from the fog. "If Tian Qi is damaged, I'll kill all of you."
"Let's go."
Lu Zhou had his two disciples follow him.
They flew up Benevolent Cloud Ridge.
Shortly after, they landed above Benevolent Cloud Ridge, at the foot of the Tian Qi Mountain.
Tian Qi Mountain was like a Buddhist temple. The entrances were not big, and it did not take up as much space as the other Tian Qi Mountain.
Lu Zhou scanned his surroundings. It was relatively quiet, and there were no special traps.
He could also clearly feel that his senses had become much stronger. Even without using the Heavenly Blessing Power, he was still stronger than before.
This was thanks to his fourth life trial. His cultivation base had improved greatly.
"Master, your light …" Little Yuan 'er pointed at Lu Zhou's Heavenly Scar Robe and said with a hint of admiration.
"Light?"
Lu Zhou looked at his robe. With just a thought, the Saint Light vanished.
"Congratulations on becoming a Saint, master," Little Yuan 'er said with a smile.
"Now's not the time for flattery. Follow me closely," Lu Zhou said.
"Oh."
The three of them entered Tian Qi.
Yu Shangrong and Little Yuan 'er immediately tried to enter Tian Qi.
Unfortunately, they were all sent flying away.
After more than a dozen attempts, Yu Shangrong and Little Yuan 'er were still mercilessly sent flying.
Little Yuan 'er stomped her foot again and said, "It's not me!"
Yu Shangrong shook his head and sighed. "I don't think it's me either."
Lu Zhou asked, "Are you not going to try again?"
Yu Shangrong said, "There's no need … Whenever I get close to the barrier, I can sense an emotion inside it. It seems to be resisting and rejecting me. It's even more resistant than the previous Tian Qi Mountain. "
Little Yuan 'er could not help but nod and chime in, "Second Senior Brother, I feel the same way."
Yu Shangrong nodded and said, "Looks like Lao Tan belongs to Seventh Junior Brother."
Lu Zhou looked at the barrier calmly.
At this moment, a deep voice rang from the horizon. "There are countless people in the world who want to be acknowledged by the Tian Qi Mountain. Most of them are just wasting their time. The same goes for all of you. "
"…"
It sounded like a sarcastic remark.
However, with the status and identity of the four spirits, how could they be so petty?
Lu Zhou looked up and said, "How many have been acknowledged by the Tian Qi of Wayward Beach?"
"Not many." Meng Zhang continued, "They have all become experts among the humans. Unfortunately, you aren't. "
Lu Zhou continued to speak.
"400 years ago, the Great Void Seed matured, but the Tian Qi Seed was lost."
Meng Zhang calmly said, "I don't protect seeds. Humans killing each other for seeds has nothing to do with me."
At the end of the day, humans and berserk beasts were in a state of confrontation. Meng Zhang was a berserk beast, standing on the opposite side of humans.
Lu Zhou did not linger. He glanced at the barrier and said, "Let's go."
Sou Sou Sou.
The three of them flew out of Tian Qi and left Pyrolyte Beach.
A huge illusory figure that looked like a coiling dragon coiled around Wu Tan's Tian Qi's Tian Qi.
The halo descended from the top and spread out in all directions.
Wherever the halo reached, all life was revived and sprouted.
Lu Zhou, Yu Shangrong, and Little Yuan 'er flew over from afar. Along the way, they saw the ground covered by the halo and the wild growth of plants. They turned to look at the sky and said, "Meng Zhang. You and this old man will meet again. "
The only sound in the sky was the rumbling of thunder.
It did not respond to Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou saw that there were more places in the surroundings that had been destroyed, burned, and frozen. He immediately rose higher and pressed his palm down.
It could subdue the land and all life in all directions without touching anything.
It was the Heavenly Writing's healing power.
Perhaps, it was because the blue avatar's grade was higher, Lu Zhou's healing power was golden. However, there were barely noticeable dark blue electric arcs amidst the golden light. The gold and blue seemed to have merged together.
A huge lotus flower spread out in all directions with Lu Zhou at the center.
The Heavenly Writing's healing power was extremely powerful.
1,000 feet, 10,000 feet, 100,000 feet …
The surroundings of Pyrolyte Beach's Tian Qi were restored to its original state. Plants and trees flourished.
He looked at his handiwork in satisfaction and said, "Let's go."
Lu Zhou returned to the others from the Evil Sky Pavilion.
He did not waste any time exchanging pleasantries. He led the others in another direction.
After a long time, the two moons appeared in the mist of Pyrolyte Beach's Tian Qi again, illuminating the land. The two moons left the mist and circled around Pyrolyte Beach's Tian Qi. They circled the charred and frozen areas before returning to the mist.
After a long time, a deep voice rang from the mist. "I look forward to your growth."
…
Inside the dense forest, beside the runes.
Duanmu Dian grabbed Lu Zhou and said, "Old Lu, after all this, you're trying to use Meng Zhang to become a Saint?"
Lu Zhou said, "It's just a coincidence.
I didn't know Meng Zhang was the one guarding this place. "
When Duanmu Dian heard this, he nodded and said, "You're right. I didn't know Meng Zhang was the one guarding this place."
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai asked, "Ninth Junior Sister and Second Junior Brother, who obtained Tian Qi's approval?"
Yu Shangrong and Little Yuan 'er shook their heads in unison.
Little Yuan 'er said, "Pyrolyte Beach should be Seventh Senior Brother's."
Lu Zhou said, "Alright. Now, no matter who it was, there were still two of the ten pillars left. Continue. "
He looked at Duanmu Dian.
Duanmudian sighed, "Meng Zhang is the guardian of Nightmare Beach, so I suggest we give up on Nightmare and Abyss Xian. Old Lu, you won't be as lucky as you are today. "
Lu Zhou said.
"Meng Zhang is one of the Four Spirits of Heaven, not a lackey of the Great Void. Once we understand this, we'll have a great chance. "
"But Meng Zhang still made a move against you." Duanmu Dian did not want to experience such a thing again.
He believed the others in the Evil Sky Pavilion would not want to see something like this happen again.
Lu Zhou said, "I know my limits."
Duanmu Dian couldn't help but sigh when he saw how persistent he was. "I really don't know where you get your confidence from."
Lu Zhou no longer said anything. Instead, he stepped into the runic passageway.
With a flash of light, the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion vanished into the tunnel.
Not long after, they appeared on a grassland.
Countless beasts galloped back and forth on the grassland. The sound of hooves could be heard.
Lu Zhou suddenly thought of a question. He asked, "Duanmu Dian, someone has obtained the acknowledgement of Nightmare Beach's Heaven Opening before me. If someone is seeking the Heaven Opening as well, has that person been to your place?"
Duanmu Dian fell into deep thought before he said, "Let me think."
After a while, Duanmu Dian said, "Many human cultivators try to get close to the Heaven Opening every year and obtain its acknowledgement. Most of them are weaker cultivators who aren't even qualified to get close. That's not to mention, they're not acknowledged. However … "
His tone changed. "20 years ago, a group of cultivators entered Dun Ba's Heaven Opening."
The others looked at Duanmu Dian.
Lu Zhou asked, "Someone from the Great Void?"
"They don't seem like someone from the Great Void. If they were from the Great Void, they would've notified me first, "Duanmu Dian said.
"You agreed to let them enter the Heaven Opening?" Lu Zhou asked.
Duanmu Dian was slightly taken aback. Then, he said, "Can I refuse to answer?"
"No," Lu Zhou said.
"…"
Duanmu Dian sighed and said, "This person's behavior is strange. He's clearly not from the Great Void, and yet, he has a Great Void Token. I was worried that the Ten Palaces might have sent someone in secret, so I pretended to agree to let them enter the Heaven Opening. Alas, they weren't acknowledged by the Heaven Opening. "
"That's all?"
"That's all," Duanmu Dian said, "My duty is to protect the Heaven Opening and the seeds, not to offend the Ten Palaces."
"Didn't you say that they're not from the Great Void?"
There was a contradiction between what he said before and after.
Duanmu Dian said, "It's just a hunch. I'm not too sure. If they're from the Nine Lotus Realm, they should've made a name for themselves a long time ago. "
He looked at the others.
He hoped to get some clues from them.
The others merely shook their heads, indicating that they did not know of such a person.
At this moment, Lu Li said, "The world is vast, and anything can happen. There are so many humans. It's not surprising that there are geniuses in every lotus realm. "
"You have a point." Duanmu Dian nodded.
Lu Zhou said, "This mysterious person is acknowledged by Dun Ba's Heaven Opening."
"…"
The others were stunned.
Duanmu Dian seemed slightly shocked.
Lu Li said, "Perhaps, this is a good thing. The world is in chaos, and heroes are rising up. In this era, there's a need for experts to rise up. Perhaps, we'll run into one. "
"He'll walk his own path, and we'll walk ours. It doesn't matter who he is, "Duanmu Sheng said.
Lu Zhou led the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion and flew forward.
After flying for about 100 miles, they finally landed.
According to the plan, Zhao Hongfu was in charge of carving the runic pathways. The others surveyed their surroundings.
The view on the grassland was vast.
As far as the eye could see, it was a field of green.
About 100 miles away, Evil Tian Qi towered between the heavens and the earth. It was especially eye-catching.
Duanmu Dian looked at Evil Tian Qi and said, "Old Lu, after I send you to Evil Tian Qi, I won't be able to go to the Big Abyss with you."
"Why?" Lu Zhou asked.
"The Big Abyss is the core area. It's where the Saints and Beasts gather. It's extremely dangerous, "Duanmu Dian said.
"Are you afraid?"
"What am I afraid of?" Duanmu Dian said, "I've been away from Dun Ba's Heaven Opening for too long. If I'm discovered by the Great Void, I won't be the only one to suffer."
"So be it."
Lu Zhou looked at Evil Tian Qi and said, "Perhaps, I'll give up one day as well."
The dark skies made the grassland look extremely oppressive.
The beasts on the grassland galloped past the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Many of them looked at Lu Zhou and the others without stopping.
Grunt, grunt, grunt … Ying Zhao muttered something as it ran back and forth in front of the others.
Conch said, "An earthy strand beast is approaching … It can sense it."
"Earthy strands?" Kong Wen frowned and said, "Why would earthy strands appear on the grassland? The beasts on the grassland should only eat grass! "
Lu Li said, "You're wrong. Earthy strands can eat those beasts that eat grass."
"…"
Kong Wen smacked his forehead. "You're right."
Sure enough, in the distant sky, a group of earthen beasts appeared. They were a dark mass, and their appearance was similar to that of Yingzhao Mountain, but their bodies were very dim.
To their surprise, a person stood on the back of one of the Earthy Strands. He was looking ahead.
"Careful," Duanmu Dian warned.
The group of earthy strands stopped 100 meters in the air. The person on it said, "What's your name?"
"Are you guarding Evil Tian Qi's person?" Lu Zhou asked.
"My master ordered me to patrol with my beasts. I'm to chase away humans who approach Tian Qi. "The cultivator who resembled a savage spoke normally.
Mingshi Yin looked at the skies and said, "You've already said to chase away humans. Why are you asking for their names? How strange."
"Some can enter Tian Qi, but some can't," the man said in the air.
"There's such a rule?"
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion were overjoyed.
The savage cultivator's words were shocking. "The bright moon shines above the sea, and we share this moment in the world. You can enter. "
