After Lu Zhou obtained what he needed, he swiftly left the primordial ruins and returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion through the tunnel.
When Zhu Honggong sensed the fluctuations in the tunnel, he knew Lu Zhou had returned. He left the southern pavilion and went to the back of the mountain. He was even more anxious than Lu Zhou as he flew at top speed. Before he reached the back of the mountain, he saw Lu Zhou who had just emerged from the back of the mountain.
Zhu Honggong rushed over and said with a bashful smile, "Master, you're finally back!"
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "How's your Seventh Senior Brother doing?"
"He was still talking about you when he woke up. He said that he won't sleep this time and that he'll be waiting for your return!" Zhu Honggong seemed excited.
It was clear that Zhu Honggong and Si Wuya had talked a lot.
Lu Zhou walked toward the southern pavilion with his hands on his back. Zhu Honggong followed closely behind him.
When he arrived at the southern pavilion, he saw Princess Yong Ning standing guard outside. She seemed to be in good spirits as well.
Princess Yong Ning bowed slightly and said, "Senior Ji, you're back."
Lu Zhou said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing.
It's my duty. "Princess Yong Ning smiled. She turned to the side and said," He's been waiting for you for a long time. "
Lu Zhou entered the southern pavilion with his hands on his back.
He walked past the screen and arrived at Si Wuya's bed.
At this moment, Si Wuya was resting on the bed with his eyes closed. When he heard faint footsteps, he instinctively opened his eyes.
Si Wuya remained in this position for a long time. He did not move or speak. He did not even blink.
Pleasant surprise, vexation, regret, excitement, self-blame … All sorts of complicated feelings were vividly reflected in his eyes.
In contrast, Lu Zhou was much more indifferent.
He merely observed Si Wuya's complexion for a moment before he said, "Are you feeling better?"
As he spoke, he walked to a table at the side and sat down slowly.
Si Wuya snapped out of his complicated emotions. His eyes were slightly sore. He blinked his eyes to reduce the soreness in them. Then, he lifted his blanket and got off the bed. He fell to his knees and kowtowed. He called out softly, "Master."
Lu Zhou glanced at Si Wuya and said, "Stand up and talk."
Si Wuya did not rise to his feet immediately. He prostrated himself on the ground and did not lift his head. Instead, he inhaled deeply and explained patiently, "I've been looking for you for almost a century. Starting from the Evil Sky Pavilion, the red lotus, then the black lotus, then the white lotus, the blue lotus, and the twin lotus. Then, I went from Hardship to Scarlet Fenruo … to Abyss Shoal, Nausea, and Abyss Offering. Your disciple has spent a hundred years walking around the Nine Lotus World and circling around the unknown lands, but I still haven't found you! Master, please forgive me! "
When Lu Zhou saw Si Wuya did not rise to his feet and was blaming himself instead, he sighed. He rose to his feet and walked up to Si Wuya.
"I know."
"Get up."
These two words were spoken in a commanding tone.
Si Wuya no longer resisted. He slowly rose to his feet.
He was still the same as before. He had never changed.
Just like before, he was confident and even a little conceited.
No matter what, in his eyes, it was always "confidence" that occupied the most.
Yu Shangrong was like any other opponent he faced. He was clearly as weak as an ant, but he was so confident that he could move mountains and fill seas.
Lu Zhou sighed softly.
Perhaps, it was a mistake to expect Si Wuya to change his personality.
After all, he had the right to be confident.
Lu Zhou returned to the table and sat down.
He picked up the teapot and filled two cups.
He pointed at the chair across him and said, "Do you plan to keep kneeling and talking to me?"
Si Wuya rose to his feet and sat down across Lu Zhou in a slightly awkward manner.
Lu Zhou pushed the teacups over to him. He picked up his own cup and took a sip.
Si Wuya said, "I can't accept this."
"You can accept this when you were young?" Lu Zhou asked. "This is the Evil Sky Pavilion. This is where you eat, drink, defecate, and sleep."
Si Wuya shook his head instinctively. He seemed to have forgotten that the Evil Sky Pavilion was the place that raised him.
Many years had passed in the blink of an eye. He did not know how he had turned into this.
Lu Zhou did not ask about the reason for his resurrection. Instead, he produced two balls of light wrapped in blood essence from his Great Heaven Pouch. He pushed them toward Si Wuya and said, "These are Meng Zhang and the supervisor's blood essence. Take them."
Si Wuya glanced at them and hastily left the chair. He fell to his knees again and said, "Thank you for your great kindness, master."
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "It's been a few centuries, but you haven't changed much. You've grown fond of kneeling."
"…"
"You know who I am?" Lu Zhou suddenly asked.
"I do."
"Then, why did you choose Darkheart?" Lu Zhou asked.
Si Wuya said, "Because Darkheart's goal is the same as yours."
As expected, Lu Zhou nodded.
The human heart was unpredictable.
Even the Netherheart Great Emperor couldn't resist the temptation of eternal life when he reached the end of his cultivation path.
"Does Darkheart know about me as well?" Lu Zhou asked.
Si Wuya said, "I'm not sure, but I think he's guessed it a long time ago."
Lu Zhou glanced at the scenery outside the window. He sighed softly and said, "I knew it. A great emperor wouldn't be so stupid. He's waiting for me to pave the way for him. "
Si Wuya merely nodded.
Lu Zhou looked at Si Wuya and asked, "What did you do for the White Emperor to treat you this way?"
Si Wuya answered honestly.
"I knew that the Lost Island belonged to Zhi Ming, so I helped him repair the formation."
Lu Zhou asked, "Oh?"
"Zhi Ming is one of the Four Spirits of Heaven. It needs the power of a god to repair its formation. I possess the Fire God's power, but I couldn't withstand it. Hence, I seized the opportunity and gave it some, "Si Wuya said.
Lu Zhou nodded.
Fire God Hill Light was also one of the Four Heavenly Spirits.
This reminded him of Jiang Aijian and Li Yunzheng. He said, "The Fire God, Ling Guang, will eventually leave."
He prostrated himself and kowtowed as he said, "Without your permission, I've officially accepted Li Yunzheng as my disciple."
Whether it's good or bad, it's your own business, "Lu Zhou said.
"Thank you, master." Si Wuya was overjoyed.
Lu Zhou had planned to ask more about the Great Void. However, when he saw Yu Shangrong's expression, he rose to his feet and said, "I'll use my blood essence to inherit the fire god's power."
Everything else could be discussed later.
Their top priority now was to help Si Wuya recover from his illness.
"Yes."
Si Wuya held the two drops of blood essence in his hands.
Lu Zhou stood up and walked past Si Wuya. Then, he stopped and said, "By the way, that little girl, Yong Ning, isn't bad."
After saying this, he patted Si Wuya's shoulder and left the southern pavilion. He returned to the eastern pavilion and activated his blue avatar's Birth Chart.
After his master left for a while, Si Wuya scratched his head in confusion. He asked, "What do you mean, master?"
Zhu Honggong rushed in. His expression was one of exasperation as he said, "Seventh Senior Brother, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you're smart when it comes to other things. Why are you so muddle-headed when it comes to this? Does this mean that I've agreed to your marriage?"
"Uh …"
"Don't be shy," Zhu Honggong said with a chuckle, "Sister-in-law is young, beautiful, gentle, and virtuous. That's exactly it!" He gave Si Wuya a thumbs-up.
Si Wuya was puzzled.
"Why don't you look happy?" Zhu Honggong asked, puzzled.
Si Wuya sighed. He said with a hint of melancholy, "Eighth Junior Brother, I've searched for you for a century, but I couldn't find you. Is master unhappy?"
"I don't think so." Zhu Honggong touched Si Wuya's forehead. "Seventh Senior Brother, there's nothing wrong with your head. Master's eyes are narrowed so much that they're barely visible. You call that unhappy? "
"Is that so?"
"…"
Zhu Honggong felt the urge to hit someone. "Master even poured tea for you. Even Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother didn't receive such treatment when they returned!"
"I feel much better now that you've said that, Eighth Junior Brother. I'm just worried that master has something else in mind, and I didn't understand it," Si Wuya said.
"Don't measure master's heart with your own mean measure," Zhu Honggong said helplessly, "Some things aren't as complicated as you think."
Si Wuya turned and said, "Eighth Junior Brother, you seem to have become smarter."
Zhu Honggong cleared his throat. He ran his fingers through his hair and said proudly, "Seventh Senior Brother, I've always been smart. It's just that you didn't notice it. Seventh Senior Brother, you've changed … "
"Changed?"
"I've learned to think from another's point of view," Zhu Honggong said with a smile.
…
That night.
Si Wuya consumed the two drops of blood essence.
The resonant power produced by the blood essences of the four gods flowed through his body and filled his Extraordinary Eight Meridians.
The blood was like a boiling stream of water that polished the pathways in his meridians.
With the help of the four blood essences, Si Wuya's body had been tempered repeatedly. His body was weak to begin with.
The next morning.
When Si Wuya opened his eyes, he discovered that he was covered in mud.
Under the refinement of the blood essence, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians had become many times stronger.
"The blood essences of the four gods are amazing," Si Wuya praised.
There was another important reason why Si Wuya investigated the godless church. He wanted to find the overseer.
It was not that he did not have the ability to gather the blood essences, but he had limited time and energy.
He knew about Zhi Ming, the azure dragon, Meng Zhang, and the fire phoenix. The overseer was the only one who came and went without a trace.
A deep voice rang from outside the southern pavilion. "Are you ready?"
Si Wuya shook his head and said, "To be honest, I'm not ready yet."
"A man can't be indecisive."
"But if you do that, you'll disappear forever," Si Wuya said.
"I'm already satisfied that the Fire God Tribe has found an heir. Moreover, do you have a better method other than this one? "
Si Wuya fell silent.
The Fire God continued to say, "This is your weapon. It has absorbed the weapon's spirituality from the previous Fire Gods … It has successfully become a Void. My descendant must be the most powerful god in the world. He must lead the Fire God Tribe to glory and uphold the mission of balancing the heavens and the earth. As its master and the descendant of the Fire God, how can he be a weakling? "
Swoosh!
A ray of light flew in and landed in front of him.
It was his former weapon, the Peacock Plume, now known as the Grotto-Heaven Void.
Si Wuya studied it for a long time. Scenes of the past surfaced in his mind. He remembered when his master gave him the weapon and how he killed his enemies with the Peacock Plume.
It was as though everything was predestined.
"Have you really made up your mind?"
