After the man leaped off the peak, he looked in the direction of the Thousand Willow Monastery. He did not linger and vanished into thin air.
Zhong Diao, whose connection was severed by Yu Shangrong, wailed. Its heart-wrenching cry resounded in the Thousand Willow Monastery. To kill Zhong Diao as soon as possible, Yu Shangrong unleashed his profound sword path without holding back.
The golden avatar swung its energy sword and cooperated with Yu Shangrong's attack.
The avatar gripped its energy sword tightly and seized the moment of pause to stab Zhong Diao.
Puh!
Zhong Diao was pinned in the air.
Now, it was time for Yu Shangrong to show off.
Although Zhong Diao was huge, it was much smaller compared to huge beasts like Man Man and Tian Gou.
The pinnacle of the sword path was as swift as the wind and as swift as a storm.
The skies were filled with Yu Shangrong's shadows.
When he was at the Eight-and-a-half-leaf stage, Xia Changqiu had already experienced Yu Shangrong's strength. He could not defeat him. Now that Yu Shangrong was at the Nine-leaf stage, it was even more impossible for him to defeat him.
It was rare for an outstanding sword path elite to familiarize himself with the sword path and master his power in such a short time after improving his strength. At this moment, Yu Shangrong looked like a Nine-leaf cultivator who had been at the Nine-leaf stage for a long time. He did not look like a cultivator who had just reached the Nine-leaf stage.
Yu Shangrong's energy swords struck Zhong Diao's vital spots at just the right time.
He had already comprehended the quintessence of the Return and Enter Three Souls move.
Even a huge beast like Zhong Diao could not help but show fear in its eyes when faced with such a powerful human. It wanted to struggle and flee. Alas, its reliance on its master had caused it to lose the ferocity and ability to escape that a wild beast should possess.
After the wail died down, the Thousand Willow Monastery fell silent again.
The elders dispersed the flying beasts above the Thousand Willow Monastery as well.
The elders flew over and hovered behind Xia Changqiu. When they saw the energy swords in the sky, they were shocked beyond words.
One of the elders spread his arms and teased, "He alone is enough."
"What a fuss." Tian Buji turned to glare at him.
"Elder Tian, aren't you surprised?"
Tian Buji replied indifferently, "That's because you didn't come with us to the Ninth Temple …"
Everyone was puzzled and didn't understand what he meant.
Tian Buji did not mean anything by it. He was used to big storms, so he was naturally calm when he saw small ones.
…
When the sword energy dissipated, Zhong Diao fell from the sky.
"Ding! Killed Zhong Diao. Obtained 3,000 merit points."
Lu Zhou merely turned to look at him. He stroked his beard and nodded.
Although Second Brother's personality was a little aloof and always made people worry, up until now, he had never failed in everything he did.
Xia Changqiu and the others landed. The disciples of the Thousand Willow Monastery surrounded Zhong Diao.
Yu Shangrong retracted his avatar. He looked at Gu Diao and asked, "This thing has a life heart?"
Xia Changqiu shook his head and said, "This kind of beast doesn't have a heart of life."
"What do you think?" Yu Shangrong was curious.
"Those who can gather their life force into a crystal core usually have the ability to absorb vitality. When they attacked, they would cause an obvious fluctuation of vitality. Although some beasts possess intelligence, they are still far inferior to humans. Most beasts don't know how to hide, "said Xia Changqiu.
Yu Shangrong nodded. "What are you doing now?"
Since they did not have a life heart, what was the value of the beasts?
Xia Changqiu said, "The bones and fur of the beasts can be used as materials to trade for some wealth." He suddenly remembered Yu Shangrong was the one who killed the beasts. He hastily asked, "You … you don't mind, do you?"
"Go ahead." Yu Shangrong was not interested in material possessions.
The Thousand Willow Monastery was different from the Evil Sky Pavilion. With so many people here, it would be difficult for them to sustain themselves without some income.
…
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai's golden lotus suddenly slowed down. This attracted Xia Changqiu and the others' attention.
"Take care of Zhong Diao."
After Xia Changqiu finished speaking, he flew over with Tian Buji.
When he saw Yu Zhenghai's golden lotus slowing down and the powerful vitality, he was shocked. "Is it so difficult for a golden lotus to reach the Nine-leaf stage?"
Based on the red lotus's speed, it should have grown several leaves in such a long time.
"Shh." Little Yuan 'er turned around.
The others no longer dared to make a sound.
After the beasts were dealt with, the surroundings were much quieter. Yu Zhenghai's attention was now focused on his golden lotus.
"Force the golden lotus's energy back," Lu Zhou said.
When he heard this.
Yu Shangrong moved as light as a swallow as he flew in the air. A smile appeared on his face.
Yu Zhenghai trusted his master completely. He quickly reversed the flow of energy from the golden lotus.
The halo bounced back.
Crack —
One of the lotus leaves rose up.
The golden lotus expanded in size, and the lotus leaves grew longer, emitting a dazzling golden light.
When Lu Zhou saw this, he nodded and said, "Don't slack off. The golden lotus will overflow with vitality soon."
Yu Zhenghai nodded.
Xia Changqiu was dumbfounded. Normally, energy would be gathered in the lotus seat during leaf-sprouting. Once the lotus seat had gathered enough energy, it would naturally sprout leaves. Why did the Golden Lotus want to force him out? Could this be a new way of cultivation? That must be it. I'll try it another day!
"Congratulations Brother Yu!"
"Congratulations, senior."
"Congratulations, Eldest Senior Brother."
He nodded happily as he sensed the surging power in his dantian's sea of Qi.
He looked at Yu Shangrong who was hovering in the air and said proudly, "What do you think?"
Yu Shangrong did not think much of it. He smiled faintly.
He flipped his right hand and pointed his fingers down.
One leaf, two leaves, three leaves … Nine leaves fell to the ground and planted themselves neatly on the ground. They shone with a golden radiance.
Yu Zhenghai flipped his right hand again. The nine leaves flew back and vanished.
He remained silent. His body moved like a willow as he left.
"…" The others were speechless.
Conch applauded sincerely and said, "You're amazing, Second Senior Brother!"
Little Yuan 'er was much smarter than before. She added, "Eldest Senior Brother is amazing as well."
Xia Changqiu was older than them. If he could not see this subtle relationship, he would be blind. He said, "They're both amazing …"
Lu Zhou did not stay any longer.
He returned to his room and continued to meditate on the Heavenly Writing scrolls. Yu Zhenghai was already at the Nine-leaf stage. There was no longer a need for him to protect him. As for whether he could master the karmic power, that would depend on his luck. Lu Zhou was not sure if Yu Zhenghai could master the karmic power.
At this moment, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were found.
Should they return to the golden lotus domain on the Sky Chariot?
The only thing that worried Lu Zhou was that he did not know the current situation in the golden lotus domain.
They did not have long-distance communication like they did in the modern era. Moreover, it might not be useful from such a long distance. The Sky Chariot flew at a high speed. The distance it covered over the Endless Ocean was beyond his imagination.
It would be a waste if he returned now. There were many things he had not done.
He had not found the remaining half of the memory crystal. He had not figured out Conch's origins.
According to Jiang Wenxu's dying words, the other half of the memory crystal should be in the Flying Star House's hands.
How could a major sect that the Ninth Temple was wary of be weak?
"Ye Zhen."
Lu Zhou called out the name he remembered. 'Is he in possession of the crystal?'
…
In the Flying Star House on Lofty Steep Mountain on Jiangdong Circuit.
The mountain towered into the clouds. The surroundings were straight and chilly. There were no mountain paths.
It was said to be the highest sect in Great Tang.
Hence, the weak were not qualified to enter the Flying Star House. They could only cultivate hard at the foot of Lofty Steep Mountain. Every year, many new Brahman Sea Eight Meridians cultivators would fall to their deaths trying to fly up the mountain.
…
Elder Meng Changdong bowed. "Congratulations on your recovery, Elder Ye. Congratulations on obtaining the luan's heart."
The person standing in front of him was the Nine-leaf expert, Ye Zhen, who was like the sun at high noon recently.
He was dressed in Confucian robes. He was graceful, simple, and dignified.
Ye Zhen had a slender figure. His Confucian robes draped over his shoulders. He had the appearance of a scholar. He was not as old or cold as the rumors said.
On the contrary, he had the air of a scholar, refined, and easygoing about him.
"There's no need for formalities, Elder Meng. Please, take a seat." Ye Zhen sat down with his legs crossed. As soon as he sat down, he said, "Elder Meng, you don't come to me for no reason. Since you're so happy, has the matter with the crystal been resolved?"
Meng Changdong sighed softly and said, "The half crystal that Jiang Wenxu sent back is strange. I've tried astronomy, geography, divination, and astrology. I've tried all sorts of methods, but I couldn't decipher it."
Ye Zhen waved his hand slightly. The teapot on the tea table filled itself with water. He said, "I believe that with your talent, Elder Meng, you'll be able to decipher it sooner or later."
"Elder Ye, there's something I don't understand."
"What is it?"
"Jiang Wenxu is merely a traitor of the Flying Star House. He's been in the golden lotus domain for centuries, hiding the news of the golden lotus domain's existence. According to the Sky Martial Court's investigation, the golden lotus domain isn't powerful. Why do you place so much importance on this crystal? "
