Lan Xihe answered honestly, "Monarch Zhongguang once left behind a seed for the successor of the Hall of Zhongguang."
Lu Zhou nodded.
Lan Xihe was not only powerful because of the Great Void Seed, but he was also talented.
"Based on your talent and the power of the Great Void Seed, why are you only a supreme now?" Lu Zhou found this strange.
Lan Xihe smiled.
"Indeed. I could have reached the Supremacy Stage long ago. However, he made a mistake in his cultivation. In order to correct this mistake, he spent a lot of time. Back then, when I was in the White Tower, my incarnation also made this mistake … "
Then he sighed and continued, "This is probably fate. People always make the same mistakes."
Lu Zhou asked,
"You've already entered the Tian Qi?"
Lan Xihe shook his head and said, "It's not time yet. To enter the core of the Great Void Tian Qi to comprehend the Great Dao requires an extremely stable realm. "
Lu Zhou nodded.
"There are twelve Dao Saints in the Great Void. You could have chosen any of them to be the new Hall Master. Why did you choose Zhu Honggong?"
Lan Xi said, "Apart from him, I have no other choice. The other eight great disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion had already found a place to go. Although the Twelve Dao Saints of the Great Void possessed profound cultivation bases, they were still lacking compared to the Evil Sky Pavilion's disciples. I look at the future, not the present. "
It sounded a little like flattery.
However, Lu Zhou still said, "That rascal of mine might seem timid, but he's hiding something. With him as the head of Imperial Concubine Xi's palace hall, you don't have to worry. "
Lan Xihe smiled. "Pavilion Master Lu's disciple, of course I'm assured!"
"Then this old man can rest assured and leave him in Xi He Palace Hall."
"He will have the chance to enter the Heaven Opening Core and comprehend the Great Dao."
"Very well." Lu Zhou changed the topic and asked, "Is the Holy Temple recruiting the ten great Great Void seeds just to maintain the balance of the Great Void?"
This was one of the biggest doubts in his mind.
Lan Xihe said, "That is indeed the case for now. However, the actions of the Great Emperor were not something that the ten palaces could guess. Now that the Heavenly Opening has collapsed, the Temple might be more anxious. "
Obviously, she didn't know what Darkheart Great Emperor's true goal was.
Lu Zhou had a nagging feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
A hundred thousand years ago, the Great Void had chased away the Four Great Emperors. Now, they were allowed to return and fight for the position of the Ten Hall Leaders. This didn't make sense.
At this point, Lu Zhou felt that it was enough. He was about to stand up and bid farewell when Lan Xihe suddenly stood up.
"There's another reason why I invited Pavilion Master Lu to Xi He Palace as a guest."
"What is it?"
"Back then, I created an incarnation and became the master of the White Tower. I fought with Pavilion Master Lu and lost two out of three moves. I can't forget it even now." Lan Xihe's tone was calm like water, yet his eyes flickered with extraordinary splendor, and his battle intent grew thicker and thicker. "I want to spar with Pavilion Master Lu again."
Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
Why was this woman so competitive?
"Victory and defeat are commonplace in war. You're too fixated on victory and defeat. It's detrimental to your comprehension of the Great Path in the future," Lu Zhou said.
"It is precisely because of this that I have to overcome the knot in my heart even more. This matter has always been weighing down on my mind, making it difficult for me to breathe." Lan Xihe said.
This wasn't just a desire to win, but also an obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Lu Zhou stood up and stared at Lan Xihe as he asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure."
"As you wish."
With a flash of movement, Lu Zhou appeared outside Xihe Hall. He hovered in the air as he surveyed his surroundings.
Many maidservants appeared around the white hall. They looked up at the horizon.
Many of them did not know what was happening. They merely watched curiously.
Lan Xihe flew out of the hall and appeared across Lu Zhou.
Both of them were in a stalemate.
This was the second time they were in a stalemate.
The maidservants and guards on the ground looked at Lan Xihe in shock.
One of the maidservants hastily said, "Get Mister Ouyang here. Something's happened in Xihe Hall."
"Understood."
Another maidservant hurried away.
The others kept their distance.
Both of them stared at each other for a long time before Lan Xihe finally said, "Please make your move. We'll decide who's stronger with one move."
The last time they fought was in the white tower. Lu Zhou had relied on item cards.
This time, Lu Zhou was more than capable of defeating his opponent.
Whizz!
He saw a white lotus appear under Lan Xihe's feet. A sun disc appeared on the left, and a moon disc appeared on the right. They spun in tandem. This was her weapon, the Sun, Moon, and Stars Disc.
At this moment, Lu Zhou finally understood the power of this weapon.
Those who were above the supreme realm relied on light discs. Lan Xihe had just entered the supreme realm. With the special effects of the Sun, Moon, and Stars Disc, she was able to take the lead by two light discs. In other words, she could finally unleash the full might of this weapon.
Sure enough, when the light wheel rippled, the sky above Imperial Concubine Xi's palace hall also began to vibrate.
The cultivators of Xihe Hall walked out and looked up at the horizon.
Lu Zhou still did not make a move.
Lan Xihe was already preparing her attack.
The best defense was offense.
Lu Zhou looked on quietly as the two light discs rose into the air.
He had entered the supreme realm with the four cores of power. This was a good opportunity for him to learn more about the light discs.
While he was observing, Lan Xihe appeared in the air with a flash. She pushed her hand forward, and three light discs overlapped. They formed a concentric circle with the astrolabe as she shot toward Lu Zhou.
Lan Xihe saw that Lu Zhou did not move, but she did not underestimate him.
She recalled the scene in the Cloud Region. She was not confident that she could defeat Lu Zhou.
She was not too far away from Lu Zhou.
With Lu Zhou at the center, a radiant halo appeared and spread into the surroundings.
"Daoist robe?"
The Heavenly Scar Robe had removed most of the laws from Lan Xihe's three light discs.
The light discs were in a stalemate with the Daoist robe!
Lan Xihe suppressed her shock and continued to push the three light discs and astrolabe down.
The light discs were far more powerful than the power of Birth Charts. They contained the power of the Paragon Dao.
"Sun, Moon, and Stars Disc!" Lan Xihe shouted in a deep voice.
The two light discs in her hands unleashed their full power again.
Much of the laws had returned.
Lu Zhou's Heavenly Scar Robe fluttered in the wind.
Crack!
Like glass shattering, the space 1,000 meters in front of him shattered.
The Heavenly Scar Robe was pulled back and stuck to his body. The surging power of the Dao was blocked.
The light discs in Lan Xihe's hands were like the sun in the sky. The dazzling radiance and power tore through the air and shot toward Lu Zhou.
In the blink of an eye.
Lu Zhou raised his hand.
The Unnamed Shield that was covered in dark blue electric arcs appeared before him.
Boom!
Heaven and earth shook.
Xi He Hall shook.
The maidservants who were watching the battle retreated and fell to the ground.
Many of them turned ghastly pale as they were sent flying by the shockwave.
The barrier above Xi He Hall did not seem to be able to put up any resistance as it faded away.
It was as though the Great Void was about to collapse. It was worrisome.
A hint of shock flashed in Lan Xihe's eyes.
The three light discs were blocked by the Unnamed Shield.
She did not expect Lu Zhou to use a purely defensive method instead of an offensive one.
The light from the shield and the Heavenly Scar Robe allowed the light discs to channel their power to the sides. It was as though they had opened up a path in the midst of a ferocious beast.
Lan Xihe did not expect Lu Zhou to be this powerful.
Even when she unleashed her full strength, she could not touch Lu Zhou at all.
Although she was mentally prepared for this outcome, she could not help but feel a strong sense of stubbornness and indignation when she saw the stalemate.
A white lotus bloomed under her feet.
Whizz!
The white lotus swiftly spread in all directions. The sky within 100 miles of Xi He Hall was completely covered by the lotus flowers.
The intense white light was so blinding that the others could not open their eyes. The spectators had no choice but to cover their eyes to avoid the bright light.
Sizzle!
The domineering force sent Lu Zhou and the Unnamed Shield flying back.
They flew for about 100 meters.
Lotus leaves appeared around Lu Zhou's Unnamed Shield.
One leaf, two leaves, three leaves … eleven leaves, twelve leaves, thirteen leaves, fourteen leaves!
"Fourteen-leaf?!"
The tips of the lotus leaves were shrouded in dark blue arcs of lightning. They were like 14 dragons that unleashed even more terrifying power at the same time.
Lu Zhou used up all the remaining power of the Heavenly Dao on his blue avatar and pushed it forward.
"Retreat!"
Lu Zhou retreated.
His voice was like a clap of thunder. It was so loud that it pierced the eardrums. It was dizzying.
The three light discs were destroyed.
The astrolabe caved in.
Boom!
All Lan Xihe could do was endure the power that was enough to shatter the void. He could not fight with his life on the line to prevent the light discs from weakening.
As expected …
As Lan Xihe was sent flying backwards, the power radiating from the light wheel shattered a large area of the surrounding space.
All the buildings in the space were like glass, easily shattered and sucked in by the shattered space, disappearing without a trace.
The speed at which the shattered space repaired slowed down as well. After a few seconds, it began to recover. Like the surface of a lake, the ripples faded away, and everything returned to normal.
However, Lan Xihe was still reeling back.
The Sun, Moon, and Stars Discs kept shattering the space around him.
Lan Xihe grunted. He slapped the shattered space away from the shattered space. He endured the intense numbness and said, "Withdraw."
The Sun, Moon, and Stars Discs flew back and vanished.
Lu Zhou steadied himself and watched as the shattered space returned to normal.
The battle was over.
The victor was decided with a single move.
Lu Zhou maintained his grip on the Unnamed Shield. The shield's power was still present. This was shocking.
When everything was silent, Lu Zhou lowered his hand.
The Unnamed Shield vanished as well.
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back. He looked at Lan Xihe who had a pale expression on his face.
Lan Xihe's eyes were filled with shock and admiration.
After a long moment of silence, Lan Xihe finally said, "I've lost."
Lu Zhou said, "I've told you that you're too fixated on victory. It's difficult for you to comprehend the great path."
Lan Xihe sighed softly.
Lu Zhou continued to say, "However, you still have a long way to go. It's not impossible for you to become a great emperor in the future."
"…"
The maidservants felt awkward when they heard this.
Only one person in the Great Void had the right to say such things. That person was the Holy Temple's Emperor Darkheart.
Whoosh!
A figure flew toward them from the distance.
Before the person arrived, his voice reached them. "You mustn't, Holy Lady! You mustn't! "
"Mister Ouyang?"
Lan Xihe looked over.
He saw Ouyang Xunsheng flying toward him from afar. He wore a worried and anxious expression on his face.
When he saw the two people facing each other in the air, he flew up without a second thought. He bowed at Lu Zhou and said, "Pavilion Master Lu, I admit defeat on behalf of the Holy Lady! There's no need to spar! "
"Admit defeat?" Lu Zhou studied Ouyang Xunsheng. He thought about it for a long time before he seemed to remember him. He said, "I remember you. I met you at the dojo on Green Lotus Mountain, right?"
Ouyang Xunsheng looked up with a puzzled expression. "Did I? You've mistaken me for someone else, senior! "
"It's fine if you don't want to admit it. I won't force you," Lu Zhou said indifferently.
"You jest, Pavilion Master Lu." Ouyang Xunsheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I've already experienced your strength in the Cloud Middle Region. The Holy Lady is no match for you."
"…"
Lan Xihe glanced at Ouyang Xunsheng.
Lan Xihe said, "Mister Ouyang, you're too late."
"Too late?"
"I've lost this battle," Lan Xihe said.
"…"
Ouyang Xunsheng looked to his left and right. He saw a building in the distance that had been cut in half. There were no traces or debris on the ground. It was as though it had vanished into thin air.
Ouyang Xunsheng was shocked. He looked at Lu Zhou and asked, "Have you recovered your strength?"
"Recovered?"
Lu Zhou caught Ouyang Xunsheng's words.
Ouyang Xunsheng realized this and hastily said, "It was a slip of the tongue … I meant that your cultivation base has improved again, Pavilion Master Lu. How surprising."
