After they left, Emperor Darkheart said, "Hua Zhenghong, I asked you to visit Shang Zhang. What's the result?"
Hua Zhenghong said.
"I visited Shang Zhang the day before yesterday and asked to see the two possessors of the Great Void Seed. They are both young girls. Their talents are the highest among the possessors of the Great Void Seed I've seen so far. "
Emperor Darkheart nodded and said, "Continue."
Hua Zhenghong continued.
"Judging from their words and actions, these two girls are smart and simple-minded. I think they are the most suitable targets to be subdued. I've asked around about other possessors of the Great Void Seed. They are also young, but they are harder to tame than these two girls. "
The younger one was, the easier it was to be educated.
This had been the case since ancient times.
Human traffickers liked to abduct and sell mostly young children.
Emperor Darkheart said, "In your opinion, what do you think of the person Seven Lives brought back today?"
Hua Zhenghong shook her head.
"This person is straightforward. His words and actions are a little silly …"
Emperor Darkheart said, "Even you don't think he is good enough?"
"I wouldn't dare."
Hua Zhenghong bowed slightly.
This was the possessor of the Great Void Seed brought back by Seven Lives. She had to educate and tame him to become Emperor Darkheart's right-hand man.
Hua Zhenghong added, "It's not bad to be a little silly. Palace Chief Seven Lives is also a possessor of the Great Void Seed. Compared to this person … "
She stammered.
Emperor Darkheart said, "Just say it."
Hua Zhenghong said, "I feel that Palace Chief Seven Lives is a little unpredictable. He's too shrewd. Such a person is the hardest to control. "
All emperors in the world liked obedient people.
She thought Emperor Darkheart should be the same.
For the past hundred thousand years, none of the Ten Great Void Temples dared to disobey him.
Emperor Darkheart said, "You don't have to worry about him. Just mind your own business from now on. "
Hua Zhenghong was startled.
She didn't expect Emperor Darkheart to side with Seven Lives.
Seven Lives had only been in Butcher's Hall for thirty years. What kind of magic potion did he feed Emperor Darkheart?
"Understood." Hua Zhenghong bowed.
"I'm going to visit Shang Zhang personally. I'll leave this place to you," Emperor Darkheart said.
"Farewell, Emperor."
Emperor Darkheart's figure disappeared.
…
Chapter One.
Natural treasures, outstanding people, and a place of prosperity.
It was the most beautiful place in the western part of the Great Void.
The first chapter of the Heavenly Stem referred to this.
Emperor Darkheart appeared in front of the Upper Chapter Palace.
"Chapter one."
He called out softly in an indifferent tone.
As expected, Great Emperor Shang Zhang immediately appeared in front of the palace. He revealed a faint smile and said, "Great Emperor Darkheart?"
Emperor Darkheart glanced at him, then raised his head and swept his gaze across the towering and majestic hall, saying, "Five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. This emperor has come to see you."
"Look at me?" Great Emperor Shang Zhang laughed. "I'm afraid that you have other plans."
One never visits a temple without a cause.
Shang Zhang understood Ming Xin's style of doing things too well.
Ming Xin didn't beat around the bush and said, "I want to see them."
Shang Zhang was no fool.
As soon as he heard this, he understood what Ming Xin meant. He immediately waved his hand and smiled, "I'm afraid not."
Ming Xin frowned slightly.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang said, "You already have two possessors of Great Void seeds. Whether it's the Divine Temple or Shang Zhang, it's the temple master's job. Why do you care whose hands they are in? "
"You're thinking too much," Ming Xin said plainly.
"…"
"If this emperor wants to take all the Great Void seeds, who would dare to stop me?" Ming Xin's tone was confident and unquestionable.
This was the truth.
Moreover, Seven Lives of Butcher Wei Hall was singlehandedly promoted by Ming Xin. If he really wanted the Great Void seeds, he could have asked Seven Lives to capture them all back to the Great Void. There was no need to help Shang Zhang.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang asked in confusion, "What's Seven Lives's purpose in doing this?"
Ming Xin didn't answer.
How could Great Emperor Shang Zhang not know this? He stepped aside and said, "Please."
…
Emperor Darkheart met Little Yuan 'er and Conch.
They were locked up in a secluded place with a powerful array formation.
Great Emperor Shang Zhang said, "Why aren't you greeting the temple master?"
Little Yuan 'er glanced at Ming Xin and asked, "Who's the temple master?"
"Don't be rude," Great Emperor Shang Zhang said.
"You're really unreasonable. I don't know how you call that rude … You're so fierce!" Little Yuan 'er muttered.
Emperor Darkheart didn't mind. He raised a hand to stop Shang Zhang from reprimanding and asked, "What's your name?"
"Let me go, and I'll tell you," Little Yuan 'er said with a giggle.
Emperor Darkheart said, "Many people want to enter the Great Void but can't get it. Yet, you want to leave?"
"I don't like it here …" Little Yuan 'er said.
Emperor Darkheart avoided this topic and asked again, "Show me your lotus seat."
"No," Little Yuan 'er refused decisively.
"…"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang felt that this girl had too much princess syndrome.
She dared to be so impudent in front of Ming Xin. How audacious.
Emperor Shang Zhang turned to look at Conch and asked, "What's your name?"
"Conch," Conch answered honestly.
"How much do you cultivate?"
"Perfected One."
Emperor Darkheart nodded.
Although it was only a short conversation, he understood their tempers and personalities.
Hua Zhenghong was right.
He said, "You'll like the Great Void."
With that, he turned and left.
Little Yuan 'er mumbled, "This person is so strange!"
Shang Zhang glanced at them and left the dojo with Ming Xin.
They went outside.
Emperor Shang Zhang smiled and asked, "How is it?"
"Whether they can be of great help to the Great Void depends on you," Ming Xin said.
"Of course."
Emperor Shang Zhang sighed. "These two little girls are young and ignorant. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. They often talk back to me. I don't know why, but I'm not angry at all. "
Emperor Darkheart's expression was calm, and he did not say anything.
Emperor Shang Zhang sighed again when he saw Ming Xin's silence.
"If my poor daughter were still here … she would be about this age."
Emperor Darkheart's expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat solemn. He said, "Some things should not be mentioned in the past."
Ming Xin saw that Shang Zhang was looking into the distance, thinking about something.
He added, "If you want to blame someone, blame the person who stole the Great Void seed."
"I only blame myself," Emperor Shang Zhang said.
Ming Xin was silent.
Emperor Shang Zhang sighed and said, "Let's not talk about it."
He changed the topic and asked, "Is the Fiendgod really dead?"
Ming Xin was expressionless.
"I don't know."
"…"
"Are you afraid of him?" Ming Xin asked.
Shang Zhang snorted and said, "Why would I be afraid of him? I'm not a fool like Tu Wei. "
"I hope so."
Then …
Ming Xin disappeared.
Shang Zhang did not stop.
With a flash, he returned to Little Yuan 'er and Conch. He looked at them from afar. They're still here … What's that old fox, Ming Xin, doing?
"Seven Lives is his man. Are they working together to use me?"
Shang Zhang had a feeling that something was amiss.
He walked over.
He sensed the changes in the two.
After a brief inspection, they were the same as before.
When Little Yuan 'er and Conch saw Emperor Shang Zhang, they said, "He's here again."
Emperor Shang Zhang smiled and said, "Little girl, you've just entered the Great Void. Do you want to go out and take a look?"
"I can?" Little Yuan 'er was slightly surprised.
"Of course."
Children were children, after all. They just had to be coaxed.
"In that case, take Conch out for a walk," Little Yuan 'er said.
Little Yuan 'er knew that Conch came from the Great Void. Ever since she was captured, she wanted to go out for a walk. However, it was clear that she did not have the qualifications or conditions to do so.
Shang Zhang glanced at Conch.
In truth, he valued and admired Little Yuan 'er more.
When he heard that Conch wanted to go out, his interest immediately dropped.
Conch asked politely, "Can you take me out for a look, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Shang Zhang's expression was clearly not as enthusiastic as before.
Little Yuan 'er said, "If you're not willing, then forget it!"
Emperor Shang Zhang said, "I'm a man of my word."
He waved his hand.
Energy enveloped the two of them.
The three of them turned into three meteors that spun in Shang Zhang's sky.
The sky was azure, and there were no clouds for thousands of miles.
The mountains and rivers were beautiful and majestic.
Every blade of grass and every tree here was far better than those in the Unknown Lands. It was as if they had entered a landscape painting overflowing with spring — ancient and mysterious canyons and jungles, strange mountains and peaks crisscrossed with streams and waterfalls, vast and endless ancient paths, and floating cloud platforms that connected heaven and earth …
"What do you think?"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang was busy all day. Now that he was touring the mountains and rivers on his own, he had no idea that his own territory was so beautiful.
She could not help but nod and say, "It's really beautiful."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized that he was in the wrong. He shook his head and said, "It's just so-so. Compared to my hometown, it's a far cry."
At this moment, Conch pointed at the huge boulder hovering in the air and said, "That's right.
"What's that?"
"That's the Heaven Facing Platform. It's used to offer sacrifices to the heavens and earth," Great Emperor Shang Zhang said.
"Oh." Conch nodded. She pointed at a lake in the distance and asked, "What's that?"
"Heavenly Jade Lake. It is as vast as the sky and as clear as jade, "Great Emperor Shang Zhang introduced.
I, the great emperor, was reduced to being a tour guide for two captives!?
Emperor Shang Zhang suppressed the displeasure in his heart. Looking at the two innocent and delicate girls, the anger that had accumulated in his heart completely disappeared …
The three of them flew to a very strange forest.
There was a strange and solemn cemetery in the forest. Little Yuan 'er pointed and asked, "What's that?"
Shang Zhang frowned. "There's no need to ask."
"It's fine if you don't want to tell me. In any case, my master will tell me, "Little Yuan 'er said.
Shang Zhang:?
Does this mean I can become his disciple?
Shang Zhang's frown eased. His expression remained stern as he said tonelessly, "That's a grave."
"Whose?" Little Yuan 'er was slightly shocked.
"My daughter," Shang Zhang said calmly.
"…"
Little Yuan 'er mumbled, "I didn't do it on purpose."
Shang Zhang heaved a long sigh.
"If she's still here, I'm sure she's the same age as you two."
At this point, Shang Zhang clearly did not want to continue the topic. He changed the topic. "I have a dojo in the southeast. If you're willing, you can cultivate there. If you have any requests, this Emperor can satisfy them. However, I only have one request … Both of you must swear loyalty to Shang Zhang from now on. "
"I'll think about it," Little Yuan 'er said with a thought.
"I have all the time in the world."
The three meteors flew toward the southeast.
…
Another ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
In the abyss.
The power of the earth continued to accumulate.
When one looked down at the abyss from above, it was as though one was looking at a sky full of stars.
Amidst the vast expanse of stars, there was a star that was even more resplendent and bright.
The energy from all directions continued to gather toward the bright star.
Whizz! Whizz!
The star buzzed.
Suddenly, it transformed into a meteor and spun in the abyss.
The entire process lasted for about 15 minutes. Then, the meteor returned to its original position.
Boom!
With the meteor as the center, a huge energy storm swept across the abyss.
A pillar of light shot into the sky.
Boom!
Rubble kept falling from the abyss.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes abruptly.
"What's space?
What's time?
Why am I here? "
Realization dawned on Lu Zhou.
He sensed the energy of the abyss between heaven and earth as it flowed around him like seawater.
He could not help but raise his hand and stir the seawater.
Every time he waved his hand, the space around him would distort.
It was as though he could see it.
Lu Zhou felt as though he had been dreaming for a very long time.
After a while, he finally regained his senses.
He could not help but sigh. "I'm still in the abyss."
He called up the system and saw the notification that it was upgrading.
This had never happened before. He had always succeeded on his first try. He did not know why he was awakened halfway.
He could sense the changes in space.
However, he could not put his finger on it.
Since the system's upgrade was not complete, he decided to continue unlocking his Birth Chart.
This time, Lu Zhou took out the Gouchen Birth Chart Heart that he had kept for a long time.
He embedded it into the lotus seat.
Then, he continued to meditate on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
In less than 15 minutes, Lu Zhou fell into a deep trance again. He lost his senses.
…
Meanwhile.
The Grand Void's Dunxi shook violently.
It only calmed down after a long while.
The Dunxi in the unknown lands corresponded to the Great Void, and it happened to be Shang Zhang!
Great Emperor Shang Zhang frowned.
He looked down at the mountains and rivers, wondering what was happening.
Little Yuan 'er said fearfully, "Earthquakes happen in the Great Void as well?"
Conch chimed in, "Perhaps."
"It's dangerous here! I felt like it was going to collapse just now, "Little Yuan 'er said.
"Don't talk nonsense," Shang Zhang reprimanded.
At this moment, five figures appeared in front of Great Emperor Shang Zhang. They bowed in unison.
"Your Majesty, we've found out that this power came from an unknown land. Dunxi?"
"Dunxi?"
"Dunxi's Heavenly Revelation had already collapsed. An energy storm appeared in the abyss. It's possible that … it's possible that the spatial tear caused by the storm affected the first chapter of the Great Void. "
Upon hearing this, Little Yuan 'er said, "Is it really going to collapse?!"
Great Emperor Shang Zhang said in a deep voice, "With me around, the sky won't collapse."
"I don't want the sky to collapse …" Little Yuan 'er mumbled.
"Why?"
"My master said that he'll shoulder the sky if it collapses. I don't want him to."
"You have a master?"
"Mhm."
"Where is he?"
Little Yuan 'er suddenly sobbed softly.
Her eyes were brimming with tears as she said, "He fell into the abyss … and died."
Great Emperor Shang Zhang did not know if he was happy or sad. He merely said, "My condolences. The dead can't be brought back to life."
If there was anyone to blame, it was Great Emperor Tu Wei and the Fiendgod.
There had to be many cultivators who died from the shockwaves of this battle.
Little Yuan 'er wiped her tears and said, "I want to visit Dunxi."
Shang Zhang nodded and said, "Your filial piety is commendable. I'll fulfill your wish."
