Lu Zhou did not know how long he had been in the darkness. The long period of flying and climbing had numbed his senses.
The appearance of a bright moon in the sky undoubtedly invigorated him.
He gauged his remaining Primal Qi. There was not much left.
However, the Primal Qi that he produced was enough to keep him hovering.
The suction force had long since disappeared. Now that he was at a place where he could see the moon, he felt much more relaxed.
Lu Zhou raised his palm and launched a palm seal.
The shining golden palm seal illuminated the area before him. He saw the cliff he had not seen in a long time.
Shortly after, a gust of cold wind blew past him.
Swoosh!
Lu Zhou flew out of the 100,000-foot-deep abyss.
The world instantly opened up, and the pressure on him ebbed. The moon illuminated the night sky. He could not help but feel refreshed.
He hovered in the air and did not go any further.
He looked around him.
As far as the eye could see, there was no sign of his disciples.
The shore was empty.
Lu Zhou looked at the endless darkness beneath his feet. Although he was as steady as an old dog, he could not help but feel his hair stand on end.
He immediately flew forward.
He landed at the edge of the 100,000-foot-deep abyss.
Although the light was dim, he could still see his surroundings clearly.
Lu Zhou left the abyss and walked forward.
After walking for a while, he noticed the terrain was steep and rugged.
After dodging the boulders, Lu Zhou discovered that this was a crater that resembled a bowl.
The 100,000-foot-deep abyss was at the bottom of the bowl. The narrow abyss stretched out from the opening on one side.
Whoosh!
The whistling sound of the wind came.
Lu Zhou looked up. He was covered in snow.
"Heaven's Moat?!"
He finally realized he was on Heaven's Moat.
The abyss and Heaven's Moat overlapped. There was a hollow space between them that led to the peak of Heaven's Moat.
This was the southernmost part of Heaven's Moat. It was the highest ridge in the world. It was said that no one could surmount this place.
He did not expect this!
Then, he observed his surroundings.
He was certain he was at the highest point of Heaven's Moat.
It was not snowing here. The snow must have come from somewhere else.
The wind here was erratic.
He untied his bundle and wrapped it a few more times to conceal the red light.
Then, he carried it on his back and prepared to descend Heaven's Moat.
After walking for a while, he arrived at the edge of Heaven's Moat.
He was about to step into the air when an ancient and deep voice rang in the air.
"You're not dead?"
If an ordinary person heard this, it would be hard for them not to be shocked.
However, Lu Zhou, who had experienced the darkness of the abyss, was looking forward to hearing a human's voice.
Lu Zhou turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.
"Who is it?"
He walked along the edge of the steep land and saw a small cave dug beside the ring-shaped steep land.
The voice came from the pit.
The moonlight just happened to avoid that area, making it difficult for people to discover the existence of the cave.
A figure walked out of the cave.
The shadow was like a cloud of smoke, swaying a little. When it walked out of the moonlight, it gradually became solid.
The moonlight fell on his body, making his figure look very unreal.
From his appearance, he looked like an old man in his sixties. His beard was black and his eyes were deep.
He was skinny and had a faint arrogance about him.
Rome wasn't built in a day … To be able to maintain such an attitude at the peak of Heaven's Moat, he must be someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
"I'm Jiang Wenxu … We meet again."
We meet again?
Lu Zhou studied this person and asked in confusion, "We've never met before. Why did you stop me?"
Jiang Wenxu shook his head calmly. His voice was deep, slow, and powerful.
"I've met you thrice, sir."
"Hm?"
"The first time was when I first arrived here. I heard that you're the greatest Eight-leaf cultivator in the world, so I asked to meet you …"
Jiang Wenxu continued to speak.
"The second time was when we talked through the night. I told you about the Nine-leaf stage and the world's calamity. You promised not to attempt the Nine-leaf stage for the rest of your life. You even sealed your memories. Why did you break your promise and attempt the Nine-leaf stage? "
"The third time was when you were attacked by the ten great elites and were heavily injured. You didn't see me, but I saw you …"
At this point …
Jiang Wenxu stopped talking.
Lu Zhou guessed Jiang Wenxu's identity and said, "The Imperial tutor?"
"They like to call me Grand Duke Jiang as well," Jiang Wenxu said.
"It's really you."
The sound of the wind grew stronger, but Jiang Wenxu's figure was unaffected.
Everything made sense now.
Among the cultivators in the world, only the Imperial tutor, who knew about the red lotus domain, and the adventurous Luo woman could appear here and guard this abyss.
"Although I was attacked by the ten great elites, I didn't die. Were you the one who ambushed me?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I had no choice."
Jiang Wenxu placed his hands on his back and said, "Since you've sealed your memories and given up on your breakthrough, why are you so stubborn?"
Lu Zhou shook his head. He did not agree with Jiang Wenxu's words. He asked, "Will the Nine-leaf stage really cause a calamity?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenxu looked at the night sky as though he had thought of something. He muttered to himself for a moment before he turned to look at the abyss nearby and said, "Chi Yao is but a drop in the ocean. To them, humans are nothing but delicious food. We can deal with beasts, but the human heart is unpredictable. "
"You're from the red lotus domain. Are you worried that they'll destroy this place?" Lu Zhou asked.
Jiang Wenxu was not surprised when he heard this. His expression was calm.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Wenxu did not answer Lu Zhou's question directly. Instead, he asked indifferently, "How did you survive the siege?"
"Luck," Lu Zhou replied indifferently. Jiang Wenxu brushed him off with this answer.
"You've met Chi Yao?" Jiang Wenxu asked.
"I didn't just meet him. I killed him while I was at it," Lu Zhou replied.
Jiang Wenxu was shocked. He frowned.
Under the moonlight, his expression was one of incredulity.
"I've already answered this question. There's no need to answer it. Let me ask you this. I'm already at the Nine-leaf stage. Where's the so-called calamity? "Lu Zhou asked.
"…"
Jiang Wenxu stepped forward, slightly shocked. He studied Lu Zhou again. "Nine-leaf? If I don't see it with my own eyes, I won't be able to rest easy. "
He was certain that the Nine-leaf stage would cause a calamity.
Lu Zhou would not simply reveal his avatar. Even with the Disguise Card, it was not something he could simply show off.
Since Jiang Wenxu liked to guess, Lu Zhou decided to let him guess.
Lu Zhou avoided the topic.
"Although the red lotus domain doesn't restrict one's life, it's still shackled by the heavens and earth. Can you stop people from trying to break free from the shackles? "
Jiang Wenxu sighed and said, "In the end, you still met Luo Shiyin."
"Luo … Shi … Yin …" Lu Zhou repeated the name.
Jiang Wenxu turned around and took a few steps toward the cave before he said, "She's a lunatic, just like you."
"Where's she now?"
Jiang Wenxu remained silent.
Lu Zhou continued to say, "She encourages you to improve your strength. She's the exact opposite of you. Both of you come from the same place, but your attitudes are completely different."
"No …"
Jiang Wenxu's back was facing Lu Zhou as he said, "She doesn't know how foolish her actions are. Since you've met Chi Yao, you should know how powerful he is. Even a powerful red lotus cultivator wouldn't dare to underestimate him. "
"So?"
Jiang Wenxu stopped at the cave's entrance. He turned around and looked at Lu Zhou. "Please show me your avatar."
Lu Zhou shook his head.
'I'll show you if you want me to. Who do you think I am?'
Jiang Wenxu's expression was weathered as he said slowly, "You have many secrets. Alas, I don't have much time left. I hope you'll lower your cultivation base … "
"What if I refuse?"
"Then, I'll have to do it myself."
"You?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
"Don't question my ability."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wenxu raised his palm and struck.
An illusory palm print flew over.
Lu Zhou raised his palm as well. A glowing blue palm seal shot out.
When Jiang Wenxu saw the blue palm, he was shocked. "Blue palm?!"
Bang!
The blue palm print collided with Jiang Wenxu's.
