Sikong Beichen was puzzled as well. He did not know why Lu Zhou would ask such a question.
Lu Zhou no longer hid the truth. He said honestly, "I've been to the Flying Star House and fought Ye Zhen in his dojo."
Meng Changdong was shocked.
"Senior Lu fought with him in the dojo?"
"The Absolute Heaven Formation can't do anything to me," Lu Zhou said.
Sikong Beichen was also slightly surprised. He said, "This Absolute Heaven Formation is very difficult to carve and set up. The enemies in the formation would be greatly weakened, while the master of the formation would be greatly strengthened. Although Ye Zhen was a Nine-leaf cultivator, the strength he displayed in the Ninth Temple was close to that of a Ten-leaf cultivator. Moreover, he had the support of hellfire. Brother Lu was actually able to break through the Absolute Sky Formation to fight with him. I'm impressed. "
Meng Changdong frowned and said, "No wonder there were rumors that I was fighting on the middle peak and that I clearly saw Ye Zhen being struck down by the Daoist Sect's Nine Cuts Hand Seals. So it's all true."
"Dao Sect's Nine Secret Words Palm Print?" Sikong Beichen continued, "Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism each have their own strengths and have opened up a hundred schools of thought. May I know which one you specialize in, Brother Lu?"
He had personally witnessed Lu Zhou unleashing the Swordless Path with all creation. He had always thought that Lu Zhou was skilled in the sword path.
"My master is proficient in everything except music," Little Yuan 'er chimed in. "It's just that it's more convenient to use a palm."
"…"
This logic seemed to be impeccable.
Sikong Beichen was puzzled. "You're proficient in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism?"
Since they were on this topic, Lu Zhou took the opportunity to make some small talk. He said, "It's not easy to connect the three. However … have you ever wondered why the cultivation ideology of the golden lotus domain is the same as that of the red lotus domain? "
"The same?"
Sikong Beichen's expression froze. "I've never been to the golden lotus domain. I've only heard about it recently."
At this moment, Meng Changdong chimed in, "The Sky Martial Court has been studying this matter as well. Later on, we guessed that both sides of the Golden and Red Rivers were originally one family. "
Lu Zhou and Sikong Beichen turned to look at Meng Changdong in unison.
Sikong Beichen nodded and said, "That's indeed possible."
As a transmigrator, Lu Zhou's knowledge was much greater than theirs. He still had the basic knowledge of continental drift and plate fracture. However, these were all speculations, and there was no concrete evidence.
Lu Zhou asked, "Have you been to the Endless Ocean?"
Everyone kept quiet and listened with an open mind.
The topic of a big shot was indeed different. It sounded very interesting.
Sikong Beichen nodded.
"When I reached the Nine-leaf stage, I went to the Endless Ocean. I'll never forget that encounter. I rode on my mount and flew deep into the Endless Ocean. At first, the oceanic beasts couldn't do anything to me. However, on the fifth day, a horde of oceanic beasts kept attacking me. Because of this, I lost my mount and was injured. I risked my life to return. "
"These oceanic beasts are separating the two shores … When I passed by the Endless Ocean, I once encountered a colossal creature. It was 100,000 feet long, and its fins were like pillars that propped up the heavens," Lu Zhou said.
Upon hearing this, Little Yuan 'er and Conch chimed in, "We saw it too!"
Sikong Beichen was surprised.
"Even Brother Lu can't do anything?"
Lu Zhou shook his head. "I don't think all the cultivators in the red lotus domain are a match for him even if they join forces."
"…"
The flying chariot flew against the wind. It was enveloped by Yu Zhenghai's golden energy. It looked like a golden meteor.
"If even Brother Lu says so, I'd like to see the colossal creature in the Endless Ocean for myself," Sikong Beichen said with a sigh.
Meng Changdong and the others nodded and sighed emotionally as well.
The others nodded in agreement.
'I've learned something new.'
The flying chariot flew for a day in the air.
Along the way, Lu Zhou and Sikong Beichen discussed the cultivation paths of the Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist sects as well as the cultivation path of the sword and saber.
When the sun was high in the sky, it shone through the thin mist and formed a rainbow. Cloud Mountain appeared before everyone's eyes.
"We're here."
Everyone walked out and saw the 12 main peaks of Cloud Mountain that pierced through the clouds.
Meng Changdong said, "Cloud Mountain is known for its height.
The 12 peaks are arranged in a seven-star formation. It's one of the largest sects in Great Tang. "
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He looked at the 12 peaks that were illuminated by the sun and asked, "How do the Twelve Sects compare to the Flying Star House?"
"Well … It's hard to compare." Meng Changdong said, "In terms of strength, the Twelve Sects are much stronger. However, the Flying Star House has Ye Zhen."
Little Yuan 'er scoffed and said, "I don't care if he's Ye Zhen or Li Zhen. When we get there, my master will kill him!"
"…"
…
Cloud Mountain.
The disciples of the Twelve Sects were gathered.
On the main peak.
A disciple stood respectfully in the hall. "Sect Master, the Ninth Temple's flying chariot is here. I don't think they're here with good intentions. Should we notify the Sky Martial Court's president and seize this opportunity to take them down?"
Nie Qingyun, the Sect Master of the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain, was seated across the hall.
Nie Qingyun rose to his feet slowly and walked down the steps. He said, "Where does the Ninth Temple get its confidence from?"
"The Flying Star House's Elder Ye Zhen initially planned to meet with you in private, but he changed his mind at the last minute. He said that the Ninth Temple has the help of an elite and asked you to be careful, "the disciple said.
An elder at the side bowed and said,
"Ye Zhen's sanctimonious and untrustworthy. The 30 Nascent Divinity realm disciples of the Twelve Sects went to the Flying Star House, and their whereabouts are still unknown … Ye Zhen came here to give them an explanation, but the Ninth Temple showed up … Perhaps, this is a ploy by Ye Zhen. "
Nie Qingyun turned to look at the Flying Star House. He nodded and said, "Today's discussion on Cloud Mountain is only to resolve the conflict between us and the Flying Star House. I won't see anyone else."
"Understood."
Clang!
Clang! Clang!
The sound of bells rang in the air.
On the cloud platform on the towering peaks of the Twelve Sects, several Nascent Divinity realm disciples flew into the air toward the Ninth Temple's flying chariot.
The flying chariot slowed down and hovered in front of the Twelve Sects.
"The sect master has ordered that we won't be seeing any guests today. Please return."
On the flying chariot.
The others were puzzled.
Yao Qingquan stepped forward. He looked at the others and said, "Senior Lu and the temple master have been invited by Ye Zhen. How can we turn them away just because you say so?"
Since Lu Zhou dared to come, he must be confident.
They had to fight this battle.
The disciple hovering in the air continued to say, "Temple Master Sikong, Sect Master Nie said that he doesn't wish to meet you today. Ye Zhen isn't a member of the Twelve Sects, so he can't make decisions for us. "
Sikong Beichen had a rough idea of what was going on. He turned around and sent a voice transmission to Lu Zhou. "Brother Lu, Ye Zhen is indeed cunning."
No matter how one looked at it, this move would only benefit Ye Zhen.
If the Ninth Temple and the Twelve Sects fought, he would be able to reap the benefits.
Even if they could not fight, Cloud Mountain would still have to bow down to the Ninth Temple and befriend the Flying Star House.
Lu Zhou said in a clear voice,
"Inform Nie Qingyun that I'm looking for him."
The disciple in the air asked curiously, "Why are you looking for my Sect Master?"
"Xie Xuan led many Cloud Mountain disciples to annihilate the Thousand Willow Monastery. Have you forgotten about that already?" Tian Buji flew out as well.
"You killed Elder Xie. Shouldn't we be the ones settling the score with you?" The disciple was a little confused.
"It's the same for us," Tian Buji said.
"…"
Maybe it was because the logic was a little weird, but the disciples were confused.
