Chapter 555: Going Up the Tall Building Alone

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Zhenghai was prepared to be punished . After all, he had summoned his courage to say what was on his mind . Even if his master had hit him, he would not complain . Based on the years he had spent with his master, he knew very well how unreasonable his master could be . Let alone speaking boldly, his master viewed something as trivial as his disciples’ differing opinions and defiance as disrespectful . He had kowtowed out of fear and respect toward his master and also in hopes that master would listen to the words he had to say .

Lu Zhou looked at Yu Zhenghai who was still on the ground . He shook his head and said, “Get up and talk . ”

“I dare not . ”

“I’ve already said what needed to be said . If you want to continue kneeling then be my guest,” Lu Zhou said .

Upon hearing Lu Zhou’s words, Yu Zhenghai looked up before he rose to his feet .

‘He’ll only do the exact opposite of what he’s told . His stubbornness hasn’t changed since he was a child . ’

Lu Zhou was aware that Ji Tiandao never liked to reason with others . Ji Tiandao preferred to persuade others with his fists . Indeed, using the fist could solve many problems . However, there were things that could not be solved by using fists .

Lu Zhou looked at Yu Zhenghai .

Although Yu Zhenghai tried his best to maintain his composure, he found it difficult to breathe after he rose to his feet . This conversation brought with it immense pressure . To think the Sect Master of the Nether Sect was feeling nervous at this moment .

“Enough . ” Lu Zhou waved his sleeve and walked in another direction . “A man should bleed . Those who aren’t garrulous aren’t fit to be a disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion . How are you going to take down the Divine Capital like this?”

Yu Zhenghai trembled when he heard Lu Zhou’s words . He hurried after Lu Zhou and asked tentatively, “Master… you… you agree?”

Lu Zhou walked as he said, “I’ve always kept my word . Six months . You have less than one month left… I’ll punish you when the time comes . ”

Yu Zhenghai was delighted . He bowed and said, “In that case, I have one request, master . ”

“What is it?”

“Now that the nine provinces are under the Nether Sect’s control, if it’s possible, I hope that nobody from the Evil Sky Pavilion will meddle in this matter,” Yu Zhenghai said .

Lu Zhou stopped walking . He turned to look at Yu Zhenghai and asked, “Are you confident?”

“Naturally… I have Seventh Junior Brother,” Yu Zhenghai said, “Nothing is for sure in the world . I hope you’ll agree to this, master . ”

Lu Zhou did not reply immediately . Instead, he continued walking forward . Shortly after, he arrived in front of a huge boulder . The character ‘hai’ was etched on it . He pointed at the ‘hai’ and asked, “You carved this all those years ago . Do you remember it?”

The character was messy and slanted to the side . It had been eroded by time and weather, and yet, it was still clearly visible .

Yu Zhenghai replied with a smile, “I remember . ”

Lu Zhou stood still as he faced Yu Zhenghai and slowly said, “You’re the eldest, and it’s only natural for you to shoulder everything . I hope the iron rule of the Evil Sky Pavilion will be forever engraved in your heart just like this word . ”

Yu Zhenghai fell to one knee again . “Fellow disciples shall not fight amongst each other… I would never dare to forget this . ”

The character on the huge rock reminded Yu Zhenghai of the time he cultivated here . How fast time flew! In just a blink of an eye, 300 years had passed .

The trees and plants were lush and verdant now . Everything had changed .

Wind caressed Lu Zhou’s beard . Although the Reversal Cards had made him much younger, his appearance was still that of an old man .

Lu Zhou looked at Yu Zhenghai and said, “Yu Zhenghai…”

“Yes, master . ”

“I was you, and you would become me someday . If yesterday were to happen again, what would you do?”

When Yu Zhenghai heard the question, he was stunned .

Lu Zhou did not wait for an answer . He waved his sleeve and left .

The back of the mountain fell silent . Before he knew it, it was deep into the night .

After a long pause, Yu Zhenghai murmured, “If I were given a chance to start over, I’d do it all over again . ”

…

At the midpoint of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s mountain .

Mingshi Yin was sending Yu Zhenghai down the mountain at this moment . He asked, “Eldest Senior Brother… How was the chat? What did I tell you? Master is much gentler compared to the past, right?”

Yu Zhenghai did not reply to Mingshi Yin’s questions . Instead, he kept walking down the mountain as he took in his surroundings .

Mingshi Yin felt bored . He usually sped down the mountain and had never taken the time to admire the boring scenery . Walking down the mountain at this pace truly annoyed him

the scenery around himself . Mingshi Yin felt flustered as he walked .

“Old Fourth, I heard master recruited a new little Junior Sister, is that right?”

Mingshi Yin nodded and said, “Yes… That little girl directly entered the Mystic Enlightening realm . Five months later, she’s already in the late-stage of the Sense Condensing realm . She’s even more baffling than Ninth Junior Sister . ”

“Oh? No wonder master accepted her as a disciple,” Yu Zhenghai said .

“Even if master didn’t accept her, the other sects would’ve fought to recruit her . ”

Yu Zhenghai asked skeptically, “This little girl has no relationship with master?”

“What do you mean, Eldest Senior Brother?”

“Why do you ask when you know what I mean?”

“I don’t!”

“Forget it . ”

A moment later, Yu Zhenghai and Mingshi Yin finally arrived at the foot of the mountain . They passed through the barrier .

Yu Zhenghai said, “Old Fourth, look after master for me . ”

“Wow, I never thought you’d be concerned over another person, Eldest Senior Brother . ”

“What?”

“Oh, I mean… I’ll certainly look after him . Don’t worry, Eldest Senior Brother!” Mingshi Yin said .

Yu Zhenghai pushed away from the ground and left through the air . He vanished in the night sky in an instant .

After Yu Zhenghai left, Mingshi Yin hastily patted his chest and said, “Whew… that was close, so close . Fortunately, I wasn’t exposed . ”

As soon as Mingshi Yin finished speaking, a disapproving voice rang from behind a nearby tree . It’s nothing but a hypocritical show of affection . ”

Mingshi Yin shuddered . He looked in the direction of the voice and said, “S-Second Senior Brother? W-why are you here?”

“Old Fourth, why didn’t you contact me when something so serious happened in the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Yu Shangrong asked .

“Uh…” Mingshi Yin cursed silently in his heart . He immediately felt that life was hard and fraught with hardships . He would be beaten to death if he said his Second Senior Brother was now weak, right?

“Second Senior Brother, your movements have always been unpredictable . I couldn’t get a hold of you . Master once complained that you never wrote back . That’s why I contacted Eldest Senior Brother . ”

When Yu Shangrong heard this, his frown faded . He nodded and said, “I’ve blamed you wrongly . ”

“That’s alright . ”

“If anything like this ever happens again, you must tell me right away,” Yu Shangrong said .

“Of course!” When Mingshi Yin saw that Yu Shangrong was leaving, he hastily called out, “Second Senior Brother, aren’t you going to reset in the Evil Sky Pavilion?”

“No . I have something else to attend to . ” Yu Shangrong left in the air as soon as he finished speaking .

“Safe journey, Second Senior Brother . ” Mingshi Yin who had learned from his previous experience ran back into the barrier and returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion after seeing Yu Shangrong off .

…

Early the next morning .

Lu Zhou opened his eyes . He gauged the state of meditation of his extraordinary power . He could clearly feel that the pace of his meditation for the extraordinary power had increased . Similarly, his capacity to store extraordinary power had also increased . However, it still took him five to seven days to completely replenish his extraordinary power .

Lu Zhou did not continue meditating on the Heavenly Writing scrolls . Instead, he got up and looked at the old parchment drawing . When he saw that there were no new areas, he returned to the rush cushion .

He studied the system . After its upgrade, his extraordinary power had improved, and he had obtained a new power . He did not have any extraordinary power to test the power before this . Now that he had accumulated some, he decided to give it a try…

He recited the chant for the first Heavenly Writing inwardly, ‘To gain the power to hear everything so that we can hear voices in all realms at will . ’

As expected, soft voices entered his ears…

“Master has emerged from his cultivation in seclusion . He’ll be examining his disciples’ progress soon . This isn’t something to be taken lightly . In the past, anyone who didn’t pass was first beaten until he was half-dead before being tossed into a room to reflect,” Zhu Honggong said .

“What? But the pavilion master doesn’t seem like a violent person!” a few of the female cultivators said in shock .

“Heh, this is why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover . Do you think I’m a fool?” Zhu Honggong sighed helplessly . “Well, I guess I am . I can’t help it . I’m born with this brain, after all . ”

The female cultivators laughed . “Listening to you trumps reading for ten years, Mister Eighth . ”
