Back on the Southern Cloud Platform.
Mingshi Yin shuddered and retreated.
Duanmu Sheng was puzzled. He stepped forward and asked, "What happened to you?"
He was too far away just now, so he could only see a rough outline. Even Imperial Lord Xuan Pin and the South Li Divine Lord had a hard time seeing their appearances, let alone Duanmu Sheng who was merely a Dao Saint.
Duanmu Sheng did not understand.
He did not think Mingshi Yin would lose.
Mingshi Yin sighed and said, "There's an elite present."
"Expert? How high is it? " Duanmu Sheng raised his Overlord Spear as if he was going to jump down and continue fighting. "Let me have a taste of your strength. When I was fighting Zhang He earlier, I only used half of my strength. I should take a look at such an expert. "
"It's better if you don't go. Trust me, "Mingshi Yin said.
"The Scarlet Emperor said that no matter what kind of strong enemy we meet, we should give it our all. We must beat the crap out of the Dark Beauty Temple on Nan Li Mountain. When the real fight for the position of Hall Master begins, we'll be able to emerge victorious without even fighting, "Duanmu Sheng said.
Mingshi Yin shook his head and said, "Why won't you believe me?"
A Vajra behind him said doubtfully,
"An opponent that even Mr. Ri couldn't defeat? Does the Dark Sea Palace have such an expert?"
"No matter how strong you are, there will always be someone stronger. It was better to keep a low profile. Don't underestimate the Mysterious Pin Temple, "Mingshi Yin said.
“？？？”
The four vajras looked at Mingshi Yin in confusion.
I think you were the one who belittled me the most, scolding me from the beginning to the end, and now you're saying this?
It was really hard to fathom.
Duanmu Sheng raised his Overlord Spear and said, "That's you. Wait here for me. In less than a quarter of an hour, I will definitely beat him to the ground! "
The four vajras bowed at the same time, "We will wait here for Mister Duan Mu's good news."
Duanmu Sheng flew down.
The four vajras were about to walk to the side to watch when Mingshi Yin pulled them back and said, "Come, have some tea."
"Mr. Ri, are you not worried?"
"Worry my ass."
Mingshi Yin sat down. "Let's leave after we finish our tea."
"…"
The expressions of the four Vajras did not look too good.
The purpose of coming here was to give face to the Scarlet Emperor. It was fine if you don't want to give face, but you also want to lose face. Do you not want any dignity at all?
Mingshi Yin finished his tea. He looked at the four vajras and said in confusion, "Eh? Have some tea?"
"Mister Duanmu should be fighting with the other party. Let's go take a look."
The four of them continued walking towards the edge of the cloud platform.
He had barely walked over when Duanmu Sheng flew up from below.
His head was covered with dust and his face was smeared with mud.
The four Vajras were stunned.
"Mister Duanmu Sheng … won?"
"Uh …" An awkward expression appeared on Duanmu Sheng's face as he said, "I'm just going down to take a look."
The four King Kongs were even more confused. They did not know if he had won or lost.
However, when he saw Duanmu Sheng's dusty appearance and the strange expression on his face, he found it even more incomprehensible. Duanmu Sheng's expression was a mixture of joy and frustration.
"Mister Duan Mu?"
"Why are you guys so annoying?" Duanmu Sheng jabbed his Overlord Spear into the ground. "Those who often walk by the river will eventually get their shoes wet. It's only natural that I lost to an elite. Victory and defeat are commonplace in a war. Have you never lost before? Do you have to point at my weakness and ask?!! "
The four of them were stunned.
Pfft!
Mingshi Yin could not hold it in any longer. He spat out the tea he had just drunk.
'Since when did Third Senior Brother become so talkative?'
He rose to his feet and said, "Alright, alright. Let's get out of here …"
"Get out of here?"
The four Vajras and two Great Void seeds represented the Crimson Emperor. If they left just like that, they would be a disgrace to the Crimson Emperor.
The four of them were about to speak when Mingshi Yin signaled Duanmu Sheng with his eyes. With a whoosh, he flew toward the flying chariot.
"Mister Ri?! You?! "
Duanmu Sheng shouted, "Wait for me!"
Without any hesitation, Duanmu Sheng flew into the air.
The Four Great Vajras were dumbstruck as they watched the two Great Void seeds' owners board the flying chariot with their faces covered in dust.
They could not understand why this happened. Even if their opponents were powerful, this should not have happened, right?
"Aren't Mister Ri and Mister Duanmu always arrogant? Why do they seem like a different person today? "
"This isn't like them. They're usually arrogant, condescending, and haughty. Indeed, this change is a little too drastic. "
"Are their opponents really that powerful?"
The four of them arrived at the edge of the cloud platform and looked at the area below.
It was empty. There was no one there.
They looked at the dojo in the northern horizon again. Naturally, they could not see anything amidst the clouds and mist.
The four of them sighed and shook their heads.
"There's always someone more powerful than you. Perhaps, an elite has appeared. This should've taught the two of them a lesson. "
"This is a classic example of being arrogant at home. They're always bragging in front of their own people. They're cowards in front of outsiders. How are we going to explain this to the Crimson Emperor when we return? "
"Sigh … We'll have to beautify it a little."
"That's all we can do."
The four of them cupped their fists toward the dojo in the northern horizon.
One of the Vajras projected his voice and said, "I know I'm not strong enough today. We'll meet again another day."
A faint voice rang from the dojo in the northern horizon. "Tell these two that they shouldn't think that they can do as they please on Nan Li Mountain just because they've learned some half-baked martial arts. Tell them to cultivate well. If they don't improve the next time I see them, I'll teach them a lesson. "
“？”
The four Vajras were only slightly angered. Their expressions were slightly sour as they bowed and said, "I understand."
The four of them flew into the sky and landed on the flying chariot.
The flying chariot turned around. It creaked as it disappeared into the southern clouds.
The four Vajras conveyed the exact words to Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin.
After they finished speaking, one of the Vajras said, "The Dark Beauty Temple doesn't give us any face at all. We'll make sure to get back at them the next time we see them."
Mingshi Yin shook his head and said, "Go find them if you want. I won't do it."
"Mister Ri, they've said that. We're representing the Crimson Emperor, after all. Insulting you is equivalent to insulting the Crimson Emperor! "
"Insult?"
Mingshi Yin shook his head. He coughed and said, "It's fine to insult me. They're right. However, it's not an insult to the Crimson Emperor. I'll go and apologize to him someday. It's a small matter. "
“？？？”
"Mister Ri, this isn't your style. Shouldn't you get back at them? "one of the Vajras asked, puzzled.
"We'll talk about it later. I'm going to take a nap."
"…"
…
At the Horizon Dojo, north of Nan Li Mountain.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said with a smile, "As expected, Pavilion Master Lu, you're quite skilled. You only needed to make a move to send them fleeing."
The Dark Beauty Temple's cultivator, Master Zhang, flew back with an awkward expression on his face.
The Southern Li Divine Lord seemed to be in a daze. It was as though he had yet to recover from the shock. He found it difficult to accept the reality before him.
There were no signs of a fight.
'Where did they fight?'
"They're just two inexperienced brats," Lu Zhou said.
"You have a point."
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin was a smart man. He turned around and reprimanded Zhang He. Zhang He humbly accepted the reprimand and did not make any excuses.
Instead, he said, "The one who's good with the spear has ferocious strength. His energy is extremely domineering. Indeed, he exceeded my expectations. The one who's good with the Greenwood Revival caught me off guard. Today, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. "
"Are you planning to give up your position as the Hall Master?" Imperial Lord Xuan Pin asked.
Zhang He was slightly taken aback. Although he was reluctant, he knew he would still lose in the official selection for the Hall Master position. In fact, he might lose even more miserably.
Hence, Zhang He immediately fell to one knee and said, "I'm willing to give up my position as the Hall Master."
"Oh?"
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin did not expect Zhang He to be so generous.
Zhang He continued to say, "I accept my defeat to these two, but I don't agree with their characters. So … "
"You don't agree with their characters?" Imperial Lord Xuan Pin asked, puzzled.
"I sparred with them in a friendly manner. However, they've repeatedly insulted me and Imperial Lord Xuan Pin. That's a great disrespect. It's unfortunate that the Great Void Seed fell into the hands of such people!" Zhang He said.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
These words did not sit well with him.
This was just like how one was allowed to criticize one's own child. Who would feel comfortable when an outsider was nagging at them?
"I don't know if their characters are good or bad … However, you're gossiping behind their backs. Do you think you're fit to talk about their characters?" Lu Zhou retorted.
"Uh …"
Zhang He lowered his head in shame.
After giving it some thought, he said, "Imperial Lord, I'm willing to give up my position as the Hall Master. However, I'd like to let Pavilion Master Lu hold the position."
When the Southern Li Divine Lord heard this, he exclaimed in shock, "That's the position of the Hall Master we're talking about. Are you going to do it so hastily?"
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin frowned deeply and said, "Nonsense. The position of the Hall Master is extremely important. How can I give it up so easily? Pavilion Master Lu has just joined the Xuan Pin faction. It's not yet time for him to assume the position of Hall Master. If that's the case, how am I supposed to convince the others? Wouldn't the officials of the Xuan Pin faction go around gossiping about me? "
Upon hearing this, Zhang He's heart stirred slightly. 'The Imperial Lord still thinks highly of me.'
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin glanced at Lu Zhou from the corner of his eye. He thought to himself, 'I hope my teacher isn't angry. Isn't this an insult to him?'
Something stirred in the Southern Li Divine Lord as he said, "I think Pavilion Master Lu is very suitable for the position of Hall Master."
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin changed the topic.
"Southern Li Divine Lord, I remember that you have a bet with Pavilion Master Lu, right?"
"Bet?"
"Are you going to go back on your word?" Imperial Lord Xuan Pin looked at the Southern Li Divine Lord with a smile.
An awkward expression appeared on the Southern Li Divine Lord's face. When he saw everyone staring at him, he could only sigh and say, "It's not that I want to go back on my word, but the Southern Li True Fire isn't something a human can fight against. If I really agree to it, I'll only be harming you. Pavilion Master Lu, why don't you give it up? "
Sometimes, people were like this. Even if something was valuable to them, they did not want to give it to others.
Lu Zhou said, "I hope you'll keep your word."
"Uh …"
"I hate people who don't keep their promises the most," Lu Zhou said.
"…"
That was the end of his words.
There was no room for doubt.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin sighed and said, "Southern Li Divine Lord, although we're on good terms, I can't help you since you've made a promise first."
The Southern Li Divine Lord's eyelids twitched.
No matter how one looked at it, it seemed like they were singing a two-man show.
His relationship with Imperial Lord Xuan Pin was not built in a day or two. They were good friends in the Great Void. Imperial Lord Xuan Pin had not put in a good word for him even until now.
"Alright."
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign sighed. "However, I'll say this first. If something were to happen, don't blame the Southern Li Mountain."
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin looked at Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou said, "Don't worry. I've never blamed anyone for my actions."
"Alright."
Southern Li Divine Sovereign stood up and gestured to the left. "Please."
Lu Zhou and Imperial Lord Xuan Pin rose to their feet in unison.
The Southern Li Immortal Sovereign flew towards a mountain peak in the north. The others followed closely behind.
After flying for about a hundred li.
He saw a mountain pass.
"This is the entrance to the Earth Fire. Everyone, please enter." Southern Li Divine Monarch introduced.
"Underground?" Emperor Blackbeauty was puzzled.
"The True Fire's power can only be suppressed underground. If it's in the mortal world, I'm afraid it'll cause a great disaster," Lu Zhou said.
"Listening to Pavilion Master Lu's words is better than studying for ten years," Imperial Emperor Xuan Pin said.
"Hm?" The Southern Li Divine Sovereign looked at Imperial Lord Xuan Pin in confusion. 'What kind of flattery is this?'
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin realized that his words were too flattering. He cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Pavilion Master Lu, you're well-read. I'm not ashamed to … ask."
He said the word 'ask' softly.
Lu Zhou could not be bothered with such trivial matters. He looked at the mountain pass and said, "Lead the way."
Imperial Lord Nan Li led the others underground.
As they passed through the narrow underground tunnel, they felt the temperature was getting hotter.
Fortunately, their cultivation bases were profound. They were not bothered by the temperature at all.
When they were about 1,000 meters underground, they felt the pressure rising. The space seemed to be distorted by the high temperature.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign reminded them, "The area with high temperatures is up ahead. If we go any further, we'll have to expend a great deal of Primal Qi. Be careful. Those who are afraid can wait where you are. "
Only Imperial Lord Xuan Pin and the other cultivators remained where they were.
Lu Zhou and Imperial Lord Xuan Pin had no reason to retreat. They continued to follow the Southern Li Divine Sovereign.
They descended for another 1,000 meters.
They could clearly feel the high temperature.
Whizz!
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign activated his protective energy.
"It's coming!"
Lu Zhou and Imperial Lord Xuan Pin activated their energy as well to ward off the high temperature.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a ball of green flame shot past the red space ahead. It was completely different from the red space. It seemed out of place.
"The Southern Li Divine Fire!"
God Monarch South Li shouted. His figure flashed as he dodged the attack of the green flames.
Lu Zhou and Imperial Lord Xuan Pin parted. The Southern Li True Fire swept past them.
Sizzle!
The Divine Fire's high temperature immediately caused their protective energy to sizzle.
The two of them were slightly taken aback.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin's silhouette flickered as he rose several hundred meters above the ground. He said, "I'll leave it to you, Pavilion Master Lu."
'I don't want this thing anyway. I'm afraid only my teacher can subdue it. It's better for me to avoid it for now.'
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign did not expect Imperial Lord Xuan Pin to be so decisive. He immediately followed Lu Zhou.
This was not the time to care about his reputation. It was more important to protect himself.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign flew to Imperial Lord Xuan Pin's side and looked down as well.
As expected, the Southern Li True Fire only circled around Lu Zhou like a water jar.
It spun so quickly that the Southern Li True Fire formed a line of fire. Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Lu Zhou stared at the Southern Li True Fire intently.
At this moment, the Southern Li True Fire seemed to have sensed the presence of a human and charged forward.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign shouted, "Look out!"
The Southern Li True Fire shot toward Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou raised his hand. Unnamed blocked before him.
Boom!
"Void?" The Southern Li Divine Sovereign exclaimed in shock, "Pavilion Master Lu, you possess a Void?"
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said, "Of course."
“？”
'You, a great Imperial Lord, don't even have a Void. You only have an Eternal grade weapon.
Most cultivators who reached the Supremacy Realm would have more Eternal Grade items, followed by Holy and Divine Grade items. It was not because they did not want a Void, but it was extremely difficult to advance from the Eternal grade to the Void grade.
The so-called Void was the source of a weapon. It could freely change its form. The initial form was its true form.
For example, if the Overlord Spear was upgraded to a Void, its true form would be the Overlord Spear. The other forms would be evolved forms. The true form was ten times more powerful than the other forms.
The Void was not only powerful in terms of power.
When used appropriately, it could block a portion of the power of the law.
The Void was also sentient.
Naturally, the Southern Li Divine Sovereign wanted a Void as well.
…
Sizzle!
The Southern Li True Fire lived up to its name as the Divine Fire. Even the Unnamed Shield was dented by the Divine Fire. It looked like it was going to melt.
Lu Zhou put Unnamed away. His robe fluttered.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign frowned and said, "This robe isn't as simple as it seems …"
"You're mistaken," Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said.
"Mistaken? No, no, no … Great Imperial Lord, look closely. When the Divine Fire approached, the robe clearly produced a wave of energy that blocked the Divine Fire's heat. Only a handful of experts and beasts could easily block the Divine Fire. This robe seems to be made from … the tendon of a Ying Dragon? "the Southern Li Divine Sovereign asked.
"You're gravely mistaken."
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin corrected him. "The length of a dragon tendon is limited. It's difficult to weave it into a robe. This robe must be a holy relic. Otherwise, with Pavilion Master Lu's strength, he should've been able to send the Divine Fire flying. "
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign nodded and said, "You have a point … I've been having trouble sleeping lately, and my eyes are blurry as well. I'm sorry. "
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said, "It's alright. After all, the Divine Fire is tormenting you every day. When Pavilion Master Lu takes the Divine Fire away, you'll be able to sleep peacefully. From now on, the four seasons on Nan Li Mountain will change. Isn't it wonderful to admire the flowers in spring and the snow in winter? "
"I feel much better now that you've said that, Imperial Lord." The Southern Li Divine Sovereign had barely finished speaking when he shook his head. He had nearly fallen into the trap. "No, I don't think Pavilion Master Lu can take the Divine Fire away."
"Why do you say so?"
"The Divine Fire can destroy the world. It's tempered by the heavens and earth. Even the Void has to fear it. Beneath the earth was where it lived. If we bring it outside, it'll only cause a great disaster. Moreover, are you going to hold it with your bare hands, Pavilion Master Lu? "
'You'll have to find a place to store it, right?'
At this moment …
Lu Zhou pushed his palm forward.
A brown bag with an electric arc on it quickly expanded and shot toward the Southern Li True Fire.
Swoosh!
The Great Heaven Pouch flashed and collected the Great Heaven Pouch.
Lu Zhou flew over and grabbed the Great Heaven Pouch. He clenched his fist. Veins appeared on the Great Heaven Pouch and shrunk it.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign. "???"
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin. "?"
Lu Zhou calmly put the Great Heaven Pouch away. He walked up to the two of them and said indifferently, "You can leave now."
Even Imperial Lord Xuan Pin who was mentally prepared was taken aback by Lu Zhou's display.
For a time, he stood rooted to the ground, lost in his thoughts.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign's mouth was slightly agape. He was speechless for a long time.
When Lu Zhou saw the two of them in a daze, he flew up first.
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign regained his senses and asked, "Is that a Void?"
"No," Imperial Lord Xuan Pin replied.
"A divine item. Yes … a divine item!" the Southern Li Divine Sovereign said.
"Can a divine item deal with the Divine Fire?" Imperial Lord Xuan Pin asked.
"Uh … I don't think so."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt as though he was slapping himself.
Did Lu Zhou not prove this with his actions earlier?
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign felt as though his view of the world had been refreshed.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin said, "Let's go."
The Southern Li Divine Sovereign nodded and followed Lu Zhou.
They left the mountain pass.
The temperature began to drop.
Clouds began to gather in the sky.
Cold air surged in from all directions, forming waves of wind.
Initially, the wind was not strong. However, as the temperature continued to drop, the natural effects of the temperature difference began to manifest.
Primal Qi began to gather as well. The cloud platform in the sky creaked.
"This is bad. The cloud platform's Formation is about to be destroyed. " The Southern Li Divine Sovereign immediately turned around, bowed at Lu Zhou, and said, "Please return the Divine Fire to Nan Li Mountain, Pavilion Master Lu!"
