Chapter 1595: Going to the Great Void (1)
In Li Chun’s opinion, as long as they could strengthen Xuanyi Palace’s power, it did not matter what backgrounds they had. In the past years, he had recruited all kinds of talents, and they were all powerful figures from various forces. Hence, he did not care about Lu Zhou’s att.i.tude or air. After entering the Great Void, one would still have to crouch them when one was among dragons and tigers. None of the cultivators from the nine domains dared to stand out. This had been proven over the past 100,000 years.
As for the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion, the problem they were worried about did not happen. They did not know what Li Chun was thinking nor did they know much about the Great Void. To them, the most important thing was going to the Great Void.
…
At night.
Lu Zhou sat cross-legged, immersed in comprehending the Heaven Scroll. As soon as he started, that familiar feeling appeared again.
‘Everything has a beginning and an end. They have an origin and a destination. The reincarnation of the Great Dao is endless.’
His consciousness seemed to have been pulled into a vortex; nothing was important at the moment. It was as though he had entered a dream. In the dream, his power disappeared. When he encountered fierce beasts, he could not fly and could not leave. The cycle repeated itself over and over again; it was endless.
Occasionally, he would dream about the merit stone. It was engraved with strange and mysterious symbols, and it emitted a dazzling golden light.
After an unknown amount of time, he heard a voice.
“Pavilion Master. Pavilion Master?”
He felt as though his consciousness was rising from the bottom sea. With each call, his consciousness rose and broke free of the endless darkness. When his consciousness returned to his body, and he finally opened his eyes, he felt like he had just awoken from a long dream.
The sky outside the window was not very bright. Everything in the hall was still the same.
Lu Zhou exhaled and thought to himself, ‘What kind of power is in the Heaven Scroll? Everything is still a mess, and I have no clue at all.’
At this time, the voice called out again, “Pavilion Master, Dao Saint Li has been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Alright,” Lu Zhou replied. When he was comprehending the Heaven Scroll, he would lose all his senses and lose track of time. As his comprehension deepened, the state of immersion would no longer be as deep. This time, he could feel the state of immersion was not as deep before, which meant his comprehension had improved. It was a good thing.
Lu Zhou rose to his feet and walked toward the door. Before leaving, he turned and looked at the tables, chairs, and things in the training hall. The world, people, and things had changed; things would never be the same again. Perhaps, he would not return to this place again in the future.
…
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion had already gathered.
Li Chun paced back and forth, waiting for Lu Zhou’s arrival.
Meng Changdong said with a smile, “Dao Saint Li, please wait for a while. The Pavilion Master will be here soon.”
Li Chun said with a smile, “No rush, no rush. Talented people are worth waiting for. I’ve already waited for 100 years; waiting for a little longer isn’t a problem.”
These words were only perfunctory. In fact, Li Chun was already feeling very anxious inwardly.
At this moment, Lu Zhou walked over from afar with his hands on his back. His aura did not change and he said with an air of superiority, “Sorry for the wait. Let’s go.”
To be honest, Li Chun felt a little strange. He thought for a while before he said in a low voice, “Brother Lu, I have a small suggestion.”
“Speak.”
“After you enter the Great Void, it’s best to put away your airs,” Li Chun said, “I’m only saying this for your good. The Great Void isn’t like the nine domains.”
In fact, in the past, Li Chun often said these words: You might be high and mighty in the nine domains, but you’re nothing in the Great Void. A rookie has to have the awareness and att.i.tude of a rookie.
However, since the person in front of him was a little special, Li Chun was more tactful with his words this time.
Lu Zhou said, “I know what to do.”
Li Chun: “…”
‘Forget it, forget it. In any case, my mission has been completed. After entering the Great Void, he’ll be on his own. Even if he offends the big boss, I won’t have anything to do with it.’
Finally, Li Chun said before flying north, “Since that’s the case, let’s go.”
Previously, Lu Zhou briefly thought about bringing his mounts, but he knew it would be too conspicuous. Hence, he let them stay in the Evil Sky Pavilion for the time being.
Under Lu Zhou’s lead, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion followed Li Chun and flew north. Soon after, they flew straight up into the sky.
“It’s in the sky?” Meng Changdong did not expect the pa.s.sage leading to the Great Void would be high up in the sky.
Li Chun said with a smile, “It’s different for all ten halls. For me, I prefer the pa.s.sages to be in the sky.”
Everyone flew past the clouds and saw a mountain peak.
At this time, Li Chun pushed his hand out and said loudly, “It’s up ahead. Follow closely.”
Then, a ray of light shot toward the mountain peak. A buzzing noise rang out as soon as it touched the mountain peak. Following that, a huge runic circle lit up, revealing the complex and dense runes within the circle.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Hongfu exclaimed in admiration, “I’ve never seen such marvelous runes!”
Li Chun seemed used to this reaction. He said, “It’s only natural you’ve never seen anything like them. These can only be carved by supreme beings.”
When the runes lit up completely, Li Chun said, “Everyone, hold on!”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Li Chun was the first to fly into the runic pa.s.sage followed by Lu Zhou before the others flew in one after another.
In just a blink of an eye, everyone entered the runic pa.s.sage.
Upon seeing this, Li Chun shouted, “Go!”
A beam of dazzling light soared up into the sky as energy resonated fiercely.
They felt dizzy as they traveled through the runic pa.s.sage; the ride was rather b.u.mpy.
