Little Yuan 'er was in low spirits.
She did not want to believe that her master was dead.
Her intuition from the Confinement Seal told her that he was still alive.
Even if everyone said that he was no longer around, she would not believe it.
"Can I come visit him often in the future?" Little Yuan 'er asked.
"Of course," Emperor Shang Zhang replied.
That way, she could visit him often.
Emperor Shang Zhang naturally would not refuse such a request. Instead, he was very satisfied. He knew that Emperor Darkheart had obtained two Great Void Seeds. One of them was Seven Lives. Although this person had helped him obtain two Great Void Seeds, he did not like him. The other person was said to be a little dumb.
Strength and cultivation were important, but it was better not to be too silly.
The three stayed in the abyss for a while longer. When the spots of energy in the abyss gradually dimmed, they returned to the Great Void.
After an unknown period of time …
Near the abyss.
Another figure appeared.
"Hey … Brother Lu, I heard that you were caught up in the fight between the two supremes. Why do you like to join in the fun?"
The figure set up a tombstone beside the abyss.
He carefully carved the words: Grave of my good friend, Lu Tiantong.
"I was guarding Tianqi and could not even protect myself. How could I save you? Besides, I didn't know you were there."
He took out some paper money from his bag, lit it, and placed it beside the tombstone. "That's all I can do. You're the first person to make me sad twice. "
"Don't worry, I'll think of a way to take care of your disciples."
"I'll return to the Great Void after a while. But then again, your disciples are really lucky not to have fallen into the hands of Feng Feng and Zhan Meng. "
"Your life has been worth it. You've nurtured so many Saints. Your name will go down in history."
"Go in peace!"
He raised his voice and dragged out the last sentence.
He stood up and stared at the words on the tombstone.
When the paper money burned out, a gust of wind blew the ashes into the distance. Sparks were mixed in the ashes, dancing with the green smoke and drifting in the wind.
…
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
The Holy Temple.
Zhu Honggong was once again brought to the sacred palace to have an audience with Emperor Darkheart.
Darkheart Heavenly Emperor looked at him for a full fifteen minutes without saying a word.
Zhu Honggong felt goosebumps rise on his skin as he cowered.
A month had passed, and the owner of the Great Void Seed had not changed at all.
The original recipe, the familiar smell.
Emperor Darkheart said nothing, and neither did Zhu Honggong.
Emperor Netherheart thought that the other party wouldn't be able to hold it in, but he waited for a long time and still didn't speak.
"Are you used to it after entering the Great Void?" Emperor Darkheart asked.
"I'm used to it no matter where I go. It's fine as long as I can eat and drink … Hehe, your grape wine is pretty good, and you even have high-grade tiger meat. It's delicious!" Zhu Honggong praised generously.
"…"
Seeing that there was something wrong with Emperor Darkheart's expression.
He cleared his throat and said in a slightly serious tone, "The Great Void is indeed a vast place. It's even more vast than the Unknown Lands. The Ten Great Void Halls were all overlords of their own regions, worthy of respect. The Great Emperor is above the Ten Halls. I am impressed. "
Emperor Darkheart was unmoved. He said, "You should know why I wanted to capture you."
"I know," Zhu Honggong said, "I have the Great Void Seed … I'll become a supreme in the future. I'll be satisfied if I can become a sky supreme like you. "
Emperor Darkheart said,
"To become a sky supreme, talent is the foundation. Opportunities and hard work are equally important."
Zhu Honggong said, "The Great Emperor's words are better than ten years of studying. From now on, I'll work hard on my cultivation. "
Emperor Darkheart fell silent again.
The Sage Hall was huge to begin with.
The silence seemed empty.
Even though the Sage Hall was bright and well-lit, it still sent chills down one's spine.
Emperor Darkheart spoke again, "I'll give you a chance."
"Speak."
"From now on, as long as you serve the Sage Hall loyally. I won't mistreat you. The Great Void has lost many talents in recent years, and we lack manpower, "Emperor Darkheart said lightly.
Seeing that Zhu Honggong was about to speak, Emperor Darkheart interrupted him and continued, "Think carefully. A wise man submits to circumstances. I'll give you three days to consider. "
As soon as he finished speaking —
Thud!
Zhu Honggong fell to one knee and solemnly said in a loud voice, "I'm willing to serve the Sage Hall. Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this chance!"
"…"
He agreed just like that?
Emperor Darkheart frowned slightly.
Although this was the result he wanted, he felt that it was … too easy.
Things that were too easy to obtain did not seem as good.
Moreover, he could not tell if Zhu Honggong was loyal or not.
"Where did you get the Great Void Seed?"
"My master gave it to me," Zhu Honggong said.
"Your master?"
"Unfortunately, my master is no longer here." Zhu Honggong's expression changed. His eyes reddened. "How good would it be if he was still here?"
"Your master has been to the Unknown Lands?"
"Yes," Zhu Honggong said.
"What's his cultivation base like?"
Zhu Honggong thought for a moment and said, "My master is invincible!"
"Invincible?"
Emperor Darkheart's frown deepened.
"It means there's no worthy opponent …" Zhu Honggong looked up and saw that Darkheart's frown was not quite right. He immediately corrected, "Uh … My master is ranked second. I think you're ranked first."
At this moment, a shout rang from the side.
"Impudent! How can someone from the Nine Lotuses be mentioned in the same breath as the Great Emperor? "
Zhu Honggong said, "Yes, yes, yes. You're right … I didn't know about the Great Void before this! I didn't expect there to be so many elites in the Great Void. "
"Since your master is invincible, how did he die?" Emperor Darkheart asked.
"Uh …"
Zhu Honggong scratched his head. He had to think of a way to explain it. After some thought, he said, "One who walks by the river often will get his shoes wet."
Emperor Darkheart did not pursue the question about his master.
Instead, he said, "Since you're loyal to the Holy Temple, you should become a supreme as soon as possible."
Zhu Honggong said loudly, "I'll cultivate diligently and not let you down, Your Majesty! If you ask me to go east, I'll never go west. If you ask me to go west, I'll never go east … "
"You may leave."
Emperor Darkheart waved his hand with an unpleasant expression.
Zhu Honggong said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing better to do here. Why don't I stay and chat with you? If you're free, you can teach me a move or two … or a cultivation mantra or something … "
Wen Ruqing said, "I told you to leave, so leave. What's with all this nonsense?"
Zhu Honggong nodded and said, "I'll leave now …"
Without another word, he turned and left.
As he walked out of the hall, he muttered to himself, 'I don't want to waste my breath with you.'
After Zhu Honggong left, Emperor Darkheart said, "Nothing changed in a month?"
"He's been like this since he came. He's a person who's good at flattery and bootlicking, "Wen Ruqing said. "I don't know what kind of luck he had that the Great Void Seed fell into his hands."
"It's meaningless to talk about this now," Emperor Darkheart said drily.
"I'm afraid this person can't be entrusted with heavy responsibilities," Wen Ruqing said.
Emperor Darkheart shook his head and said, "I have plenty of time. You can teach this person. If he can become a Dao Saint within a hundred years, we'll make plans for the next step. "
"Understood."
Wen Ruqing frowned instead.

PS: There are only two updates for today. I'm sorry … I've been busy with publicity, work, and family matters. Sigh, how annoying … Let me comfort you. Once the time is stable, I'll add more updates.
PS2: Master's secluded cultivation is a transitional phase. This part will be sped up. It can't be a hundred years later, so the middle will be smoothed out so that it won't be so sudden.
