Chapter 879: 879

The Literary Star Hall in the Sky Martial Court.

After two days of meditating on the Heavenly Writing, Lu Zhou had fully replenished his extraordinary power.

Following that, he decided it was best to cultivate. Now that his cultivation base had reached this stage, he could not always rely on buying an avatar.

He opened the system interface and took a look at the Myriad Supreme. However, when he checked the price, he only saw a row of question marks.

“…”

He had already obtained the Thousand Realms Whirling, but he still could not see the price of the Myriad Supreme? Was there such a huge gap between the two?

“Pavilion Master!” Meng Changdong called out anxiously as he hurriedly walked into the hall, holding a piece of cloth that held a formation and few talismans.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Something has happened to Mister Seventh,” Meng Changdong replied as he unfolded the cloth and lit the talismans up.

Soon after, a projection appeared in the air.

Lu Zhou saw Si Wuya in the Sky Shuttle. It seemed like they were still in the fog.

Si Wuya kneeled as he said, “I’ve made a big mistake! Master, please punish me severely!”

Lu Zhou frowned. “Speak first.”

Mingshi Yin interjected at this moment, “Master, let me tell you what happened.”

Following that, Mingshi Yin recounted everything that happened to his master.

When Mingshi Yin spoke about a black lotus expert and the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, Lu Zhou said with a frown on his face, “Lu Li…”

Upon hearing Lu Zhou’s words, the people in the Sky Shuttle looked at each other in confusion.

“The name of the black lotus expert is Lu Li?”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “I met him once. Based on your description, he should be Lu Li. I didn’t expect him to really go to the Endless Ocean.”

Mingshi Yin scratched his head and asked, “Why did he go to the Endless Ocean to kill the sea beasts? If it were not for the commotion he caused, attracting all the sea beasts, Eighth Junior Brother wouldn’t have gotten into trouble!”

Lu Zhou did not reply to Mingshi Yin immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and chanted inwardly, ‘For all beings in the universe, their lives, deaths, kindness, evil, merits, and sins, could be clearly seen.’

Lu Zhou’s eyes glowed with a blue light before he saw the Endless Ocean. Dang Kang was carrying two people, flying in an unknown direction.

Compared to when he was at the Hundred Tribulation Insight stage, the consumption speed of the extraordinary power when using the Heavenly Writing Power seemed to have slowed down. Regardless, it still consumed a lot of extraordinary power.

In just a few breaths, Lu Zhou had already depleted one-third of his extraordinary power. He stopped the power and opened his eyes before he looked at the projection in the air and said, “He should be fine for now.”

Mingshi Yin sighed inwardly. As expected, his master had said these empty words to comfort everyone.

At this moment, Si Wuya suddenly smacked his leg as he exclaimed in anger, clearly annoyed at himself, “I should’ve left a mark on everyone!”

Marks were a method of tracking. They were very shallow and easy to remove so it was easy to overlook them. It was much better to use them as means to track or communicate with one’s acquaintances.

“Even a wise man will make mistakes. You’ve tried your best so there’s no need to blame yourself,” Lu Zhou said.

Although his master did not blame him, Si Wuya still felt uncomfortable. This was the Endless Ocean, not any other place. The slightest mistake could lead to a fatal outcome.

At this moment, Mingshi Yin asked in confusion, “Master, what about Lu Li?”

Si Wuya interjected, “I think he mentioned something about the Great Void.”

Lu Zhou was intrigued. This meant the black lotus domain knew about the Great Void and the Great Void Seed. If the Great Void Seed was a treasure, it would surely attract people’s attention. However, Lu Li would rather sacrifice himself than watch the Great Void See fall into the Endless Ocean?

After a moment, Lu Zhou said solemnly, “You must keep this a secret.”

“Understood.”

“You’ve already traveled more than half of the journey here. At your current speed, you’ll arrive in the red lotus domain in five days. At that time, I’ll send someone to pick you up,” Lu Zhou said.

Everyone bowed.

Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, “As for Old Eighth… He should be safe with Dang Kang.”

Si Wuya said, “Indeed. Dang Kang is extraordinary. When it arrived at the Evil Sky Pavilion, it breached the barrier without any difficulty. I ordered Eighth Junior Brother to tame it at that time. I didn’t expect it… In the end, it’s all thanks to Dang Kang…”

Lu Zhou raised his voice slightly as he said in an even tone, “That’s a matter of course. How can my mount be ordinary?”

“Ah?”

Si Wuya and Mingshi Yin stared at their master with their mouths agape.

Duanmu Sheng, Jiang Aijian, and the four elders were similarly shocked.

Jiang Aijian who regained his senses first said, “No wonder Dang Kang looks so pleasing to the eyes! As it turns out, it’s Senior Ji’s mount.”

“Jiang Aijian.” Lu Zhou shifted his eyes to Jiang Aijian.

“You’re calling me?” Jiang Aijian pointed at himself.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said in a flat tone, “Among everyone in the Sky Shuttle, you’re the only one who’s still neatly dressed and looks rather good. You sure know how to enjoy yourself.”

Jiang Aijian hastily waved his hands and said, “No, no, no, it’s a misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding. My cultivation base is too low so I’m not much of a help. Isn’t it normal to protect the weak?”

As though he did not hear Jiang Aijian’s words, Lu Zhou asked, “Do you know the difference between you and my disciples?”

“There are too many differences. They simply beat me in every aspect. I admit defeat,” Jiang Aijian said with a mischievous smile on his face.

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “When you need to retreat, you should retreat. When you need to advance, you should advance. Duanmu Sheng is brave; Si Wuya is smart; Mingshi Yin knows when to advance and when to retreat; Zhu Honggong steps up when the occasion calls for it. The four elders are wise and know how to support them and when to restrain them. However, you… you’re sneaky and crafty.”

Before Jiang Aijian could respond, Lu Zhou continued to say, “Don’t be so quick to admit to your mistakes just yet. I’m only telling you this because I value your ability. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t be qualified to speak to me. That’s all I have to say. You can mull over this on your own.”

Jiang Aijian was stunned. When he regained his senses, his face flushed red.

Lu Zhou looked at his disciples and said, “We’ll stop here for now. Focus on maneuvering the Sky Shuttle and your surroundings.”

“Yes, master.”

Lu Zhou waved his hand, and the projection disappeared.

…

In the Sky Shuttle.

Jiang Aijian felt ashamed of himself. He wanted to bow to everyone, but the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion moved to the front of the deck as though they did not see him. In the end, he only silently bowed at them.

Pan Litian must have seen Jiang Aijian even though at this moment, he was looking up ahead. He said, “Young man, you have to learn how to see the bigger picture. Sometimes being too smart can be considered as stupid as well…”

“I’m enlightened.”

…

Five days later.

A flying chariot flew out from the Literary Star Palace in the Sky Martial Court. It flew in the direction of the Endless Ocean to receive the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

…

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou sat cross-legged in his room. He stroked his beard as he fell deep into thoughts.

Three days ago, he had used the Heavenly Writing Power to locate Zhu Honggong. Zhu Honggong was still flying above the Endless Ocean. Without any reference, it was difficult to pinpoint his eighth disciple’s location.

Lu Zhou closed his eyes. “Let’s see it again.”

He recited the mantra inwardly. Soon enough, his eyes glowed with a blue light.

Once again, he saw Zhu Honggong. This time, he noticed Dang Kang’s speed was much slower. Lu Li, who was seated on Dang Kang’s back, seemed to be in a comatose state. Meanwhile, Zhu Honggong was flying using his energy.

Lu Zhou stopped using the power. A frown could be seen on his face when he opened his eyes. He still could not determine Zhu Honggong’s exact location. He muttered to himself, “Even Lu Li, who has activated five Birth Charts and formed the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, is grievously injured.”
