Sikong Beichen asked in confusion, "The heaven and earth shackles?"
"The Sky Martial Court has studied the heaven and earth shackles for many years, but they haven't found an answer. Is the Sky Martial Court's constant invasions of the golden lotus domain out of selfishness, or are they looking for a way to break the heaven and earth shackles? "Lu Zhou's expression was calm.
"Everyone is greedy. The Ninth Temple's ideals are different from the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House. In recent years, the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House have risen to prominence with the support of the palace. The Ninth Temple can't control them. "Sikong Beichen sighed softly.
In truth, the Ninth Temple was fortunate enough to exist. How could it control the Sky Martial Court and the Flying Star House?
At this point, Sikong Beichen clenched his fist, and the Ten-leaf avatar vanished.
"If it's possible, the Ninth Temple is willing to support each other, Brother Lu," Sikong Beichen said.
It would be difficult to obtain the insights from the Birth Charts, so he decided to give up. However, it should not be a problem for them to work together.
The five First Seats looked at Lu Zhou at the same time.
Lu Zhou's disciples looked at him as well.
Lu Zhou's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Support each other?"
"With Brother Lu's cultivation base, there's no need for help. However, Brother Lu's disciples are slightly weaker. The golden lotus domain is treated as an anomaly in the red lotus domain. As long as they're around, the Ninth Temple will ensure their safety. "
Little Yuan 'er and Conch did not think much of it.
When Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong heard this, they were slightly displeased.
Yu Shangrong was the first to speak. "I've always preferred to be alone. I've met many powerful enemies, and I've never needed help."
Yu Zhenghai chimed in heartily, "I'm the master of a sect with 100,000 followers. Why would I need anyone's help?"
Little Yuan 'er snapped back to her senses. She chimed in, "Junior Sister Conch and I have always been with master …"
"…"
At this moment, the Mystery Hall's First Seat, Zhang Shaoqing, said, "I heard from Zhu Xuan that this friend here is extremely skilled with the sword. I'd like to spar with him."
Lu Zhou knew what they were trying to say.
They wanted to show the Ninth Temple's strength.
In truth, Sikong Beichen alone was powerful enough in the Ninth Temple. However, he alone was far from enough for the Ninth Temple's higher echelons. He was Lu Zhou's counterpart. A major sect's strength depended on its core.
Yu Shangrong's hands were itching so he said, "Please."
Sikong Beichen gestured for Lu Zhou to start. "The younger generation should stop when sparring. Brother Lu, why don't you join us?"
Lu Zhou was slightly puzzled. Yu Shangrong was only an Eight-leaf cultivator. How was he supposed to deal with Chu Jiu's strength?
When Yu Shangrong arrived at the entrance of the Holy Palace, he bowed at Lu Zhou and said, "Don't worry, master."
When Lu Zhou saw how confident he was, he said, "Sure."
Everyone arrived in front of the main hall of the Holy Palace. Above the Holy Palace, the space in front of them was extremely vast.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten the scene of Chen Beizheng's death.
Yu Shangrong and Zhang Shaoqing hovered in the air, one on the left and one on the right.
The two of them cupped their fists at each other.
Zhang Shaoqing said, "Since you're an Eight-leaf cultivator, I'll only use Eight-leaf cultivators."
"There's no need for that. I'm afraid you'll lose even if you're a Nine-leaf cultivator …"
"…"
He was as confident as ever.
"Please."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them attacked at the same time.
The shadows on the left and right flashed.
In an instant, they intersected in the middle. Bang!
The first move was over.
There were no flashy energy swords or techniques.
The two of them hovered in the air with their backs to each other.
Professionals appreciate the artistry, while laymen enjoy the show.
"They're testing each other," Yu Zhenghai commented.
Sikong Beichen asked, puzzled, "You know sword techniques as well?"
"I don't know sword techniques, but I'm skilled with the saber … In my opinion, the sword path is too petty. It's not as domineering as the saber. A man should be more domineering, "Yu Zhenghai said.
"…"
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and looked ahead. "My disciple has always been arrogant. You'll get used to it."
Sikong Beichen thought Yu Shangrong was a hot-blooded junior and would not hold it against him. However, Yu Shangrong was used to it. What kind of master and disciple were they?
…
The two of them turned around to face each other.
They attacked again. Flashes of light flashed.
The golden energy collided with the red energy swords.
Lu Zhou noticed Yu Shangrong's Longevity Sword was no longer glowing with a faint red light.
Bam! Bam!
Hundreds of energy swords collided. The two of them reeled back.
"That's the Traceless Sword." Yu Zhenghai commented, "If I were to deal with this, junior brother, I would've used the Boundless Ocean and the Lightning Saber Force."
Little Yuan 'er and Conch looked at Yu Zhenghai curiously.
Their eyes seemed to be saying, 'Eldest Senior Brother, are you a spy sent by the enemy?'
"Uh … I can't help it."
As the person who understood Yu Shangrong's sword techniques the most in the world, nobody would dare to claim to be the best if Yu Zhenghai claimed to be the second best.
Sikong Beichen said, "It's difficult to capture the sword intent. Suppressing it with a vast amount of energy swords is indeed the best choice."
Yu Shangrong had gained the temple master's approval.
The other four First Seats were shocked.
Zhu Xuan looked up. An incredulous expression could be seen on his face. A Nine-leaf cultivator was fighting an Eight-leaf cultivator, and yet, Yu Shangrong had yet to emerge victorious. He could sense that Yu Shangrong was much stronger than before.
Zhang Shaoqing felt the same way. A Nine-leaf cultivator could not defeat an Eight-leaf cultivator in a short time. If the battle dragged on, it would be an unfair victory.
Hence, he said in a clear voice, "Be careful, sir.
We'll decide this with one move. "
His Primal Qi condensed into energy. An energy sword that was more than 10 meters long appeared in his palm.
A red lotus bloomed under his feet. The red energy sword was dazzling.
Nine inconspicuous leaves spun around it.
Zhang Shaoqing gave it his all.
Yu Shangrong looked up and held his Longevity Sword in a reverse grip.
…
Yu Zhenghai looked at his Second Junior Brother, slightly puzzled. He recalled his battle with Ma Luping in Yu Province. He quickly made a judgment. "Second Junior Brother has won."
Although he did not know how Yu Shangrong had won, he saw victory in Yu Shangrong.
Sikong Beichen was a Ten-leaf elite, but he could not see any chance of winning. Yet, a young junior dared to make such a judgment. "Why are you so sure, young friend?"
"Second Junior Brother's sword path has always been like this … The path of the sword turns the impossible into the possible and the rotten into the miraculous. Naturally, it's still slightly inferior to my saber technique, "Yu Zhenghai said.
The First Seats. "…"
Yu Zhenghai's words were infuriating.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard with one hand and placed the other on his back. He added, "You'll get used to it."
Sikong Beichen. "…"
'Is this really an elite who initiated his Birth Chart?'
Meanwhile.
In the air, Zhang Shaoqing was not affected by Yu Zhenghai's words. In his opinion, Yu Zhenghai was trying to disrupt his performance. Zhang Shaoqing wielded his sword with both hands and said, "The mysteries of the mysteries. You won't be able to dodge this."
The energy sword descended.
When a Nine-leaf cultivator swung his sword, Yu Shangrong felt a sense of danger.
If it was an Eight-leaf cultivator, he would have lost without a doubt.
Yu Shangrong smiled. He loosened his grip, and the Longevity Sword flew out. He summoned his avatar.
Whizz!
An avatar without a Golden Lotus raised its palms to the sky and brought them together.
Bam!
It caught the energy sword.
Yu Shangrong leaped up with his Longevity Sword in hand. The other golden leaf-like blades shot forward at lightning speed.
"No!" Zhang Shaoqing's expression changed. He forcefully retracted his energy sword and raised his sword before himself to block Yu Shangrong's attack.
Yu Shangrong held the energy sword against Zhang Shaoqing.
"You've lost."
The remaining eight golden leaves shot past Zhang Shaoqing and returned to Yu Shangrong's body.
