Chapter 1762 - Return to the Great Abyss Land   

After the arrangements were made for Princess Mulberry, Duanmu Sheng left for Xuanyi Palace.

The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion were all staying in Xuanyi Palace.

With Xuanyi guarding it, the situation at Xuanyi was still relatively stable.

…

At night.

Lu Zhou continued to absorb the power cores. With his speed, he had already absorbed two power cores so there were another two left.

He recalled what the four ancient lords said about the Unholy One digging the abyss for the power cores.

“Did the four power cores really come from the abyss?” Lu Zhou wondered out loud.

There was no memory about this from the memories of the Unholy One that he obtained. The only person who knew the truth was probably the Unholy One from back then.

Over the following days, Lu Zhou focused on meditating on the Heavenly Writing instead of absorbing the power core.

…

At dawn.

Lu Zhou left the Evil Sky Pavilion.

With this, only Mingshi Yin was left guarding the Evil Sky Pavilion while the others were all in the Great Void.

…

Noon.

The Unknown Land was as dark as usual when Lu Zhou appeared in the forest near the Great Abyss Land.

He hovered above the forest and surveyed his surroundings. He had come to the Great Abyss Land several times now, and each time, the feeling it gave him was different. Perhaps, he had obtained the Unholy One’s memories, his state of mind did not fluctuate at all.

There was still quite a large number of fierce beasts in the sky of the Great Abyss Land. When they saw the seemingly weak human, they quickly approached as though they had seen the most delicious food in the world.

After the balance agreement was torn apart, the fierce beasts had been killing humans without any scruples.

The collapse of the pillars did not only bring with it the danger of the Great Void collapsing, but it also brought with it the danger of the fierce beasts.

The fierce beasts in the sky were like a plague of locusts. More and more of them began to gather. Among them, there were about five or six beast emperors, which were clearly different from the other flying beasts, and they were all in different directions.

Lu Zhou did not move. He continued to silently observe the fierce beasts’ movements, wanting to see what they would do. This was the territory of the Great Abyss Land. According to the rules of the Great Abyss Land, fierce beasts were not allowed to get close to it. Why did Emperor Yu not stop them?

While Lu Zhou was mulling over the matter, a voice said clumsily in human language, “Human, how do you want to die?”

Lu Zhou frowned slightly as he looked at the fierce beasts. “You want to kill me?”

“Humans are too abominable. Destroyed the pillars, said they were going to maintain the balance, but they lied. They broke the promise first!”

More and more fierce beasts appeared in the sky.

There was the Luan, the Hei Chi, and the Tulu. There were so many of them that it was hard to identify all of them.

In the past, everyone spoke of the danger of entering the core of the Unknown Land and the many high-level fierce beasts that populated the place. At that time, when the expert from the green lotus came, he could only hide in the mud.

Fortunately, Lu Zhou was not like before.

“The collapse of the pillars is due to nature taking its course. It has nothing to do with humans,” Lu Zhou said.

“Humans destroyed the pillars! Four of them have collapsed. The supreme beings didn’t come to mend them. It’s humans’ fault!”

It was not easy to resolve conflict between two species by ways of communication.

Lu Zhou sighed and said, “Before I get angry, scram.”

The word ‘scram’ was said very lightly and did not contain any energy.

The beast emperor in the sky flapped its wings and looked at the puny human in front of it that was not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. Then, it said, “Kill.”

If it was so easy to use reason to resolve conflicts, why would there be armies and weapons? Sometimes force was needed to correct the other party’s attitude and ways of doing things.

It was unfortunate that the fierce beasts could not sense the power in Lu Zhou’s body.

Just as the fierce beasts pounced over…

Buzz!

A light disk appeared and grew rapidly.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

All the fierce beasts that were hit by the light disk were instantly reduced to ashes by the light disk. The golden light disk was quickly drenched in blood of the fierce beasts.

“Supreme being! Damn it!”

Many fierce beasts did not hesitate and fled decisively. They disappeared in just a blink of an eye.

Lu Zhou did not chase after the fierce beasts. Instead, he flew toward the Great Abyss Land. From the forest to the Pillar of Destruction, he arrived in just a blink of an eye.

When he arrived near the Pillar of Destruction, he saw a large number of Three-head tribesmen on the ground so he came to a stop. There were a few strong tribesmen who were patrolling the ground.

The defenses at the Great Abyss Land had clearly gotten a lot stronger.

Lu Zhou ignored the Three-headed tribesmen and continued to fly. When they noticed him, it was already too late. He was flying at lightning speed toward the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction.

The unique energy fluctuation instantly attracted the attention of about five Feather tribesmen, and they rushed over to block Lu Zhou’s path.

“Who’s so bold to barge into the Great Abyss Land?”

Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, “Tell your Emperor Yu that I want to see him.”

The five Feather tribesmen felt that Lu Zhou was not simple, but since they had never seen him before, they said, “Emperor Yu isn’t here. Can you leave your name and wait for his return?”

“Ask him to come out now,” Lu Zhou said calmly.

“Emperor Yu is in seclusion. I’m afraid it’s not convenient for him to see you.”

“It’s fine as long as it’s not inconvenient for me. As for whether it’s an inconvenience to him or not, it doesn’t matter,” Lu Zhou said solemnly, “My patience is very limited.”

Lu Zhou raised his hand and launched the Great Seal of Fearlessness toward the five Feather tribesmen. The palm seal was big enough to cover five of them. They were so frightened that they turned pale. They quickly activated their protective energies and wrapped their wings around their bodies to protect themselves.

Boom!

The five of them were pushed back. Their arms were numb, and they groaned in pain, almost spitting out blood. With this, they no longer doubt Lu Zhou. They knew he had an extremely high cultivation. They said immediately, “I’ll go and report to His Majesty immediately!”

As soon as these words were uttered, a voice rang from the Great Abyss Land.

“Please come in.”

Upon hearing this, the five Feather tribesmen respectfully made way for Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou walked in with his hands on his back, sweeping past the five people. When he stepped into the Great Abyss Land, he raised his head to look at the sun in the sky. He muttered to himself, “The only place that has sunlight, huh?”

The Feather tribesman next to Lu Zhou said with a sigh, “The Great Abyss Land is no longer the same as it was in the past. Now, we’re always under attack from fierce beasts, and the pillar is about to collapse. Life is getting harder and harder.”

Lu Zhou glanced at the Feather tribesman from the corners of his eyes and said, “Young man, don’t be ignorant of your good fortune.”

“…”

The Feather tribesman naturally did not dare to say anything else.

In ancient times, especially in primitive human society when the cultivation world was still in its infancy, how could anyone have such a good life?

Lu Zhou flew in and soon arrived outside the hall.

Emperor Yu was already waiting at the entrance of the hall. When he saw Lu Zhou, he smiled and cupped his fists together at Lu Zhou. “It’s really Pavilion Master Lu.”

Lu Zhou only glanced at Emperor Yu before he strode into the hall. He directly ignored the elders and key figures. After he entered the hall, he sat on Emperor Yu’s throne.

When the elders were about to protest, Emperor Yu shot them a warning look, not allowing them to speak. With that, they could only swallow their words, not daring to speak.

Emperor Yu smiled and asked, “May I know why you’re here?”

‘He’s already taken the Heaven Suppressing Heaven Pestle previously. There’s nothing left of the Unholy One here. Why is he here?’

Lu Zhou stared at Emperor Yu and said without beating around the bush, “You sent your spies to the upper cores to stir up trouble, hindering my disciples from comprehending the Great Dao. How should we settle this score?”

“???”

Emperor Yu shook his head and said, “Pavilion Master Lu, don’t let those people sow discord between us. Although I don’t wish for the pillars to collapse, I wouldn’t send someone to do such a thing.”

Lu Zhou said tonelessly, “There’s no point denying it.”

Emperor Yu said loudly, “I would never do something so despicable. Someone must be causing trouble behind the scenes in the Great Void and framing the Great Abyss Land.”

The elder standing next to Emperor Yu said, “If we were to do it, we wouldn’t leave such obvious traces.”

Lu Zhou said curtly, “Evidence?”

“This…”

“If you can’t produce the evidence to back up your claims, then you’re the culprit,” Lu Zhuo said. He was so calm that it made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Emperor Yu frowned. ‘How can he be so unreasonable?’

The elders were filled with righteous indignation as well. They really could not hold back anymore.

One of the elders said loudly, “You’re slandering us! You’ve gone too far! Are your words evidence?”

Lu Zhou nodded. “That’s right. My words are evidence.”

“…”

“Unreasonable!”

Lu Zhou rose to his feet. He flashed and appeared in front of the elder. The distance between them was only a foot. His eyes glowed blue as he looked at the elder.

An inexplicable soul-stirring power caused the elder to retreat rapidly. In the process, he actually stumbled and fell to the ground. It was really too terrifying.

Emperor Yu frowned before he cupped his fists together and said, “Our Feather tribe has guarded the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction all our lives. We’ve never had any grudges against the Unholy One. I’m willing to swear on my life that the mastermind behind this matter isn’t our Feather tribe!”

Upon hearing Emperor Yu’s words, the elders quickly retreated to the sides. The other party was indeed the Unholy One! No wonder he could come and take things as he pleased! No wonder rumors were flying all over the place in the Great Void! No wonder the end of the world was imminent! The Unholy One that everyone revered and feared had truly returned. Not only that, but he was now at the Great Abyss Land!

The elders’ hearts pounded rapidly in their chests. They felt as though the air in the hall had solidified, making it hard for them to breathe.

Lu Zhou’s eyes returned to normal as he looked at Emperor Yu and said, “Your life isn’t worth anything.”

Emperor Yu: “…”

Suddenly, Lu Zhou said, “Jie Jin’an.”

Emperor Yu said, “I’ll summon him here to see you.”

“Yes.”

The guards at the entrance left and quickly brought Jie Jin’an back in less than ten minutes.

When Jie Jin’an walked into the hall and saw the imposing Lu Zhou, he exclaimed, “It’s really you?”

Lu Zhou walked over and stood in front of Jie Jin’an. He studied Jie Jin’an carefully. Although he did not have much information about Jie Jin’an from the memories he obtained, based on Ouyang Ziyun’s words, Jie Jin’an, like the Unholy One, was also one of the earliest humans and one of the Unholy One’s friends.
