Chapter 1719 - Blue Avatar’s Light Disk

Zhi Ming’s desire to live forever was not any weaker than those of humans. It had stayed in the Endless Ocean for a very, very long time, and it did not manage to find the answer. In the end, it chose to give up and float on the surface of the sea, becoming an island.

The white-clad cultivators looked at Lu Zhou in awe. They wondered if they begged him, would he tell them the way to live forever.

Bai Zhaoju and the Three Celestials shared the same thought.

The stronger the cultivator, the stronger their desire to live forever.

At this time, Zhi Ming opened its mouth and raised its head before it spat out a column of water. Out of the column of water, a ball of light flew out. The display was not as flashy when it gave Lu Zhou its blood essence

Seeing this, Lu Zhou waved his hand, pulling the ball of light and the blood essence over. After taking a look, he confirmed it was indeed Zhi Ming’s divine soul pearl. Zhi Ming’s divine soul pearl was dark, and within the darkness, there was a faint light. Its color was similar to the soil. The power in the life heart was truly impressive.

Lu Zhou admired Zhi Ming’s life heart for quite a while.

Bai Zhaoju moved to Lu Zhou’s side and asked curiously in a low voice, “Pavilion Master Lu, what use do you have for this divine soul pearl?”

Although Lu Zhou had already confirmed his identity, Bai Zhaoju still referred to Lu Zhou as Pavilion Master Lu. He did not quite understand why the Unholy One, who already reached the upper limit of Birth Charts, needed a divine soul pearl. After thinking about it for a while, he thought it was likely for one of his disciples.

Zhi Ming asked, “When will you teach me how to live forever?”

Lu Zhou calculated it for a moment before he said, “Within 300 years.”

“…”

As soon as Lu Zhou’s words fell, Zhi Ming, Bai Zhaoju, and the others felt like they had been deceived. They really did not expect the Unholy One to be shameless.

Zhi Ming really wanted his divine soul pearl back at this moment. When it looked up, it saw Lu Zhou putting the divine soul pearl away.

“I’ll keep my word,” Lu Zhou said before he flew back up to the platform.

Bai Zhaoju: “…”

Despite being a divine emperor and the ruler of the Lost Kingdom, faced with such a situation, he could only shrug. There was nothing he could do. This was an agreement between Lu Zhou and Zhi Ming; it was not his turn to say anything. He could only follow Lu Zhou and wait for five days.

“Five days,” Bai Zhaoju said to Zhi Ming before he flew toward the platform.

The Three Celestials and the white-clad cultivators did not leave immediately. Instead, they bowed to Zhi Ming.

When Lu Zhou saw Bai Zhaoju following him, he said, “Your task has been completed. There’s no need to continue following me.”

“…”

‘How ruthless! If you leave like this, how can I find the divine soul pearl?’

Lu Zhou added, “Don’t worry. I’ll keep Zhi Ming’s matter a secret. In five days, I’ll send someone to return Zhi Ming’s soul pearl.”

Before Bai Zhaoju could reply, Lu Zhou decisively shattered a Teleportation Jade Talisman.

“Ah? Wait! Wait!”

A beam of light shot up into the sky, and when it dissipated, Lu Zhou was already gone.

Bai Zhaoju naturally did not dare to use the laws to stop the Unholy One from leaving. He could only stomp his feet like an angry wife, feeling vexed.

“Why did you kick me?”

A deep voice rang from below.

Bai Zhaoju: “…”

Then, Bai Zhaoju hurriedly said, “It’s nothing.”

Usually, Zhi Ming was in deep slumber. It did not care about anything, let alone a light kick. Even if a fierce fight broke out on the Lost Island, it might not even open its eyes to take a look.

At this time, the Three Celestials flew over. They looked to the left and right, but they could not see anyone. Hence, they asked, “Where is he?”

“He left.”

“Ah?”

“Do you want to chase him?” Bai Zhaoju asked unhappily.

“…”

Everyone was speechless.

Bai Zhaoju stood with his hands on his back, turned around, and scoffed before he left the platform.

‘All of you publicly challenged my authority today. I’ll deal with all of you after I retrieve the divine soul pearl!’

…

Evil Sky Pavilion.

Lu Zhou appeared at the back of the Evil Sky Pavilion. He nodded in satisfaction. The Teleportation Jade Talismans were rather useful, and he thought that he should gather more in the future. Qin Renyue had given him three, and he only had one left. One was naturally not enough.

Lu Zhou flashed and reappeared in the eastern pavilion. Then, he transmitted his voice to the southern pavilion.

“Come over.”

In the southern pavilion, Jiang Aijian and Zhu Honggong, who were unaware that Lu Zhou had returned, shivered involuntarily before they rushed toward the eastern pavilion.

“Senior Ji?”

“Master?”

When the duo arrived, Lu Zhou waved his hand, sending the blood essence that was protected by an energy seal over. He said, “This is Zhi Ming’s blood essence. Give it to him.”

“Zhi Ming?!” Jiang Aijian exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the blood essence.

“The White Emperor is privy to Zhi Ming’s whereabouts,” Lu Zhou said.

“I see. The White Emperor truly has a good relationship with Zhi Ming,” Jiang Aijian said as he nodded.

Lu Zhou asked, “Did he wake up while I was away?”

“No,” Jiang Aijian said with a sigh.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be staying in the Evil Sky Pavilion for five days,” Lu Zhou said.

Jiang Aijian and Zhu Honggong nodded before they returned to the southern pavilion to give Zhi Ming’s life heart to Si Wuya.

…

In the southern pavilion.

Princess Yong Ning was ecstatic when she saw that Zhi Ming’s blood essence had successfully been obtained. She wished Si Wuya would wake up immediately.

…

In the eastern pavilion.

Lu Zhou brought the divine soul pearl out.

Divine soul pearls were much more convenient and effective than life hearts.

After admiring it for a while, Lu Zhou brought out his blue lotus and placed it on the lotus seat.

“I hope it won’t absorb too much of my lifespan,” Lu Zhou muttered to himself.

Lu Zhou guessed that Zhi Ming’s life heart would be able to help activate three Birth Charts at least.

Click!

A familiar crisp sound rang from the lotus seat.

Lu Zhou’s eyes lit up. “As expected of the divine soul pearl of the Divinity of Heaven! It activates Birth Charts so easily!”

Lu Zhou fished the divine soul pearl out of his lotus seat, and let the process progress to the second stage.

Then, he sent a voice transmission.

“Jiang Aijian.”

…

At this time, Jiang Aijian had just fed Zhi Ming’s blood essence to Si Wuya. When he heard Lu Zhou’s voice transmission, he said to Princess Yong Ning, “Sister, look after him. I’ll be back in a moment.”

“Alright,” Princess Yong Ning said. She could not wait to take care of Si Wuya. In her opinion, her third brother was too clumsy and rough with Si Wuya.

Before Jiang Aijian could make a move, Princess Yong Ning, who had seemed to have forgotten etiquette, pulled Jiang Aijian away from the bedside.

Jiang Aijian: “…”

‘When girls grow up, they forget about their family!’

Jiang Aijian shook his head and left the southern pavilion.

…

When Jiang Aijian arrived at the eastern pavilion, he asked curiously, “Senior Ji, why did you call me?”

Lu Zhou waved the door open and sent Zhi Ming’s divine soul pearl out into Jiang Aijian’s hand.

Jiang Aijian looked down and exclaimed in surprise, “Divine soul pearl?!”

“This is Zhi Ming’s divine soul pearl. I’m sure you know the way to the White Emperor’s Lost Island. Return it to him,” Lu Zhou said,

“Zhi Ming’s divine soul pearl?!” Jiang Aijian’s eyes widened in shock and excitement.

“Don’t even think about it. I promised the White Emperor that I’ll return it. Go,” Lu Zhou said.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll lose it?”

“I believe in your ability.”

Lu Zhou was guarding his lotus seat so he had no time to act as a courier.

Jiang Aijian smiled, “Senior Ji, you still trust me like before. You really didn’t misjudge me. I promise to complete the mission.”

With that, Jiang Aijian brought the divine soul pearl with him and left the Evil Sky Pavilion.

…

Jiang Aijian arrived at a huge rock in the Endless Ocean through a runic passage. He did not waste time and flew directly to the Lost Island. In order to ensure that the divine soul pearl was safely returned, he did not dare to stir up trouble and focused on getting to the Lost Island. The journey was rather boring, which was good in this case, and he did not meet any cultivators.

In order to become Si Wuya, Jiang Aijian studied the information regarding the White Emperor and the Great Void seriously, just like Li Yunzheng. Hence, he had a good understanding of the Lost Island.

As soon as Jiang Aijian arrived at the Lost Island, white-clad cultivators flew over from all directions. One of them recognized him first and said, “Qi Sheng has returned! Quickly report to His Majesty!”

At this time, Jiang Aijiand had donned his mask and was dressed as Qi Sheng. Naturally, they would think he was Qi Sheng.

Upon hearing the cultivator’s words, Jiang Aijian said, “No need. I only came to return something today.”

Then, Jiang Aijian tossed the divine soul pearl over.

The white-clad cultivators were surprised and confused. They knew it was a divine soul pearl, but they did not know to whom it belonged.

Jiang Aijian naturally understood their thoughts. He said, “Hand it over to His Majesty. His Majesty naturally knows to whom it belongs.”

As soon as Qi Sheng’s voice fell, Bai Zhaoju appeared in front of everyone. He smiled and said, “Qi Sheng, you’re fine!”

Jiang Aijian: “…”

‘What’s with the slightly emotional and ambiguous gaze? F*ck!’

“Your Majesty, the item has been returned. I still have something important to attend to,” Jiang Aijian said before he turned to leave.

Bai Zhaoju took the item from a white-clad cultivator, and when he saw that it was Zhi Ming’s divine soul pearl, he exclaimed, “So fast?!”

How long had been since Lu Zhou took Zhi Ming’s divine soul pearl away? Not even half a day had passed!

This confused Bai Zhaoju. What could be done with the divine soul pearl for half a day? Initially, he had assumed it was for Lu Zhou’s disciples, but that was clearly not the case.

‘Could it be… just a test?!’

Bai Zhaoju’s eyes widened imperceptibly when he thought about that. After a moment, he said, “Qi Sheng, why don’t you have a cup of tea with me before you leave?”

“This…” Jiang Aijian hesitated.

“You used to enjoy chatting with me. You’d lived here for 100 years, after all. It can be considered your home as well. How can you not enter your home when you’re already at the door?” Bai Zhaoju said eloquently.

Jiang Ji was helpless and could only say, “Alright.”

Before Bai Zhaoju returned the divine soul pearl to Zhi Ming, he ordered someone to lead Jiang Aijian to the Dao hall.

After Zhi Ming regained its divine soul pearl, it looked at its divine soul pearl skeptically. Then, it muttered in a low voice, “Was Old Demon Ji testing me?”

“His surname is Ji?” Bai Zhaoju asked.

“Ji is one of his earliest names. At that time, there were no surnames, just simple nicknames to distinguish one from another. Since human civilization and the birth of tribes, he has gone by many names…”

Zhi Ming nodded and said in admiration, “I really wonder how long he has lived…”

“Unless he personally tells you, no one knows,” Zhi Ming said before it submerged itself into the sea again.

Bai Zhaoju looked at the boundless sea emotionally. Back when he proclaimed himself the White Emperor, the Unholy One was already high above at the peak. So what if he was one of the Four Emperors of the Lost Land? Faced with the Unholy One, he was just a junior.

…

Three days later.

A pillar of light shot out of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s eastern pavilion again.

Then, a light disk appeared. It looked dazzling from afar, and its power was extremely gentle.

When a cultivator saw this, he pointed at the light disk and said, “Look! There’s another miracle from the Saint Sky Pavilion!”

“Should we go and have a look?”

“No, no, no. I don’t want to go over.”

At this time, the second pillar of light shot out.

With that, the light disk grew even brighter than before.
