Xia Changqiu hurriedly said,
"That's not what I meant … Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will emerge victorious. I know that Senior's cultivation is unfathomable, far above the two of you. However, we can't underestimate the Ninth Temple. "
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and looked at Xia Changqiu as he said, "Let's hear it."
Xia Changqiu nodded.
"The Ninth Temple is located in the Jiannan Path. It's the only major sect that dominates an area. All the minor sects in the Jiannan Path attach themselves to it. The Nine Temple had a total of nine main halls. Each main hall occupied an area of 1,000 feet. They were the Skyward Hall, the Purple Myrtle Hall, the East Peace Hall, the Supreme Harmony Hall, the Peace Hall, the Unending Hall, the Prison Dragon Hall, and the Mysterious Hall. When the Nine Temple was at its peak, the nine First Seats were all elites. Later on, the Ninth Temple gradually declined. The first four First Seats died of old age, and the four positions were left vacant. Even so, the First Seats of the five First Seats kept the Ninth Temple standing. "
Little Yuan 'er gestured with her fingers and said, "That's amazing! The Evil Sky Pavilion only has four pavilions … That's too little."
"…"
Xia Changqiu nodded and said, "Indeed. The Thousand Willow Monastery is like an ant trying to shake a tree."
Lu Zhou was puzzled.
"Dying of old age? The people of the Red Lotus Domain die of old age too?"
Xia Changqiu said awkwardly, "Birth, old age, sickness, and death are all part of human nature. The strongest cultivators in the red lotus domain have yet to surpass the three-thousand-year limit."
Lu Zhou was slightly moved.
Is this some kind of great limit like the golden lotus domain?
If that was really the case, would the golden lotus domain also face such a great limit in the future?
Even so, the red lotus domain was far ahead of the golden lotus domain.
Lu Zhou said in surprise, "I thought the red lotus can grant longevity."
Xia Changqiu was inwardly shocked. He thought to himself, 'Senior even looks down on three thousand years. It seems like the golden lotus domain's cultivation level is much higher than the red lotus domain's.' If his two disciples were this powerful, could it be that the old mister's cultivation base had surpassed the Ten-leaf stage? The lunatics of the Sky Martial Court loved to lie and deceive the world. What Golden Lotus Domain invasion? Clearly, it was the Red Lotus Domain invading others. After being beaten to a pulp, the Red Lotus Domain came knocking on their door.
This was his thigh, he had to hug it tightly!
"Go on." Lu Zhou gestured for him to continue.
"Apart from the five seats, there are also eighteen elders. Every three years, a head would be promoted from the elders to take charge of a hall. Zhu Xuan broke through to the Nine-leaf stage during the battle. I'm guessing he's trying to take your disciple away to earn a great merit and secure his position as the First Seat. As for working together … "Xia Changqiu shook his head and did not continue.
"Master … All the more reason for us to kill our way over! Eldest Senior Brother is most likely dead! "Little Yuan 'er said anxiously.
Conch chimed in like a chick pecking at grains. "Ninth Senior Sister is right. Let's charge!"
The elders looked at the two young ladies helplessly.
Lu Zhou ignored Little Yuan 'er and continued to ask, "Who's the temple master of the Ninth Temple?"
"The King of Jiannan, Sikong Beichen …"
Little Yuan 'er asked curiously, "He sounds powerful. How many leaves does he have?"
"It's been a long time since Sikong Beichen last fought. 1,500 years ago, Sikong Beichen fought eight enemies on his own and defeated the Eight First Seats. He successfully became the new Temple Master. At that time, he was already at the Ten-leaf stage. 1,000 years ago, the last time he fought was when he repelled an army of 300,000 Other Tribesmen. His name spread far and wide in Great Tang," Xia Changqiu said.
Little Yuan 'er was rendered speechless.
The dozen or so elders standing behind Xia Changqiu sighed.
They were all elders, but Xia Changqiu was an elephant while they were ants. They could not be compared.
Yu Shangrong frowned slightly. It was just as Xia Changqiu had said. His Eldest Senior Brother had entered the tiger's den and was in grave danger.
When Lu Zhou heard this, he was shocked as well. As expected, the Ninth Temple had a Ten-leaf cultivator.
A Mysterious Heaven realm elite?
After reaching the Ten-leaf stage, one would have to form a Thousand Realms Whirling to enter the Mysterious Heaven realm.
The Thousand Realms Whirling was an avatar exclusive to Mysterious Heaven elites.
"Since the Ninth Temple is so powerful, why did they seek an alliance with my disciple? Wouldn't it be better to kill them on the spot? "Lu Zhou asked.
Xia Changqiu was slightly taken aback. He said, "In the past 500 years, the Ninth Temple has been declining. Four of its nine First Seats have passed away. The remaining five are in their twilight years … Moreover, the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House are rising like the sun in the sky. The Sky Martial Court's strength has improved in the past 300 years. It's amazing. "
"The Sky Martial Court …" Lu Zhou muttered softly, "Indeed, the Sky Martial Court shouldn't be underestimated since they can create the Sky Shuttle."
Tian Buji added, "We have to start from that lunatic 300 years ago …"
"Lunatic?"
"300 years ago, a lunatic appeared in the Sky Martial Court. Her name was Luo Xuan. She was the first to come up with the theory of the world beyond the heavens. Her idea was too crazy, and she was ostracized and hidden by the Sky Martial Court. She went missing after that. Oh, right, the Sky Shuttle was one of the lunatic's ideas. "
Lu Zhou thought of Luo Shiyin.
He also thought of the notes she left behind.
Based on the notes, it seemed like she was not a lunatic. Instead, she was a genius in exploration and research.
There was a fine line between a genius and a lunatic. Just like how Copernicus discovered the heliocentric theory, his student, Bruno, was burned to death when he announced his findings.
"That's why … I suggest that you don't act recklessly, old senior. I don't think her life will be in danger, "Xia Changqiu said as he looked at Yu Shangrong. Xia Changqiu looked at Yu Shangrong. "If we really wanted to make a move, someone would've come looking for your disciple."
The others nodded.
Little Yuan 'er pouted and said, "Master, are we not going to save Eldest Senior Brother?"
Yu Shangrong frowned again. Without waiting for his master to speak, he said calmly, "Naturally, we'll save Eldest Senior Brother … If the Ninth Temple dares to touch him, I'll bathe the Ninth Temple in blood. I've always spoken from the bottom of my heart. I don't like to beat around the bush. Please forgive me. "
The elders of the Thousand Willow Monastery shook their heads.
Something stirred in Xia Changqiu. He looked at Lu Zhou and asked tentatively, "If I may ask, old senior, are you confident?"
He did not know how powerful the old man before him was for his disciples to be so confident. Could he be … a Ten-leaf cultivator?
This was a question that the members of the Thousand Willow Monastery were concerned about as well.
If his disciples were so powerful, how could the master be a weakling?
Lu Zhou stroked his beard calmly. He did not answer Xia Changqiu's question. Instead, he said, "I'm tired."
"…"
Xia Changqiu was excited and filled with anticipation. However, when he heard these words, he could not help but feel disappointed.
However, he did not dare to show it. Instead, he hastily ordered, "Prepare a room and clean it up."
"Understood."
Tian Buji personally led the others out of the Fair Hall.
Lu Zhou slowly rose to his feet. His robes hung loosely, and his white hair draped over his shoulders.
With his hands on his back, he said calmly, "I'll personally pay a visit to the Ninth Temple in five days. You'll lead the way."
After saying this, he turned around and walked out.
Xia Changqiu was dumbstruck.
The other elders shuddered as well. They looked at Lu Zhou's retreating back, not knowing what to do.
Ji Fengxing recalled Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai's frequent flattering words. He muttered to himself, "Is he … truly invincible?"
