My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 1137 - The True Dangerous Place

Chapter 1137: The True Dangerous Place

There were many Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators in the White Tower Council, and it was on par with the Black Tower Council. However, in all of Great Ming, there were actually only a small number of Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators. It was just that most of these cultivators were in the White Tower Council. After all, those who could join the White Tower Council were all outstanding figures.

Ding Ling was considered a highly talented cultivator in the Elder Council. It was rare that someone with six Birth Charts was appointed as an elder; this showed how talented she was.

However, Ye Tianxin who had entered the Thousand Realms Whirling stage less than a year ago and had also activated two Birth Charts was like a slap to the elders’ faces.

Ding Ling asked skeptically, “Pavilion Master Lu, are you saying that your disciple entered the Thousand Realms Whirling stage before reaching 100 years old?”

Lu Zhou asked, “Are you implying that I’m lying?”

‘I don’t like to lie. However, even when I tell the truth, people doubt me.’

Ding Ling naturally did not dare offend Lu Zhou. She hurriedly said, “I don’t dare.”

In the cultivation world, the strong ruled. This was even more so among Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators. No one dared to judge someone based on their appearances. Take Lan Xihe for example, she looked no older than Little Yuan’er, but how many people dared to challenge her or act like an elder in front of her?

Ye Tianxin said earnestly, “Since I plan to take over the position of Tower Master, I can’t lie. How can a person who lies convince the masses? Moreover, I can lie for a while, but how can I lie for a lifetime?”

Everyone was at a loss for words.

“Even if you doubt me, you should trust Tower Master Lan. When she first met me, I only had ten leaves. I didn’t even have a Birth Chart. In fact, my first life heart was given to me by Tower Master Lan,” Ye Tianxin said.

Lan Xihe nodded and said, “That’s enough. Don’t use your own understanding and knowledge to judge a genius.”

Ding Ling. “…”

‘I really want to say that I’m a genius as well. However, compared to Ye Tianxin, I’ve been demoted to a fool.’

An elder shook his head and said, “Tower Master Lan, this… is really too unbelievable. How can someone activate their first Birth Chart, form a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, and activate their second Birth Chart in less than a year? I-it’s impossible!”

It was as though the full score was 100, and someone had obtained 150. It looked rather fake.

Lu Zhou really wanted to say all ten of his disciples from the Evil Sky Pavilion were capable of doing that. What was so impossible about it? However, it was better to say less to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Lan Xihe’s gaze swept across the elders before it landed on Ye Tianxin. Then, she said, “It’s because she has the Great Void energy.”

“…”

Everyone fell silent and instinctively turned to look at Ye Tianxin.

“Are you satisfied with this answer?” Lan Xihe asked.

Talent was something that one could not obtain even if one worked hard. From birth to death, one’s talent would stay the same. However, the Great Void energy trumped talent.

Cultivators had never given up on the exploration and pursuit of the Great Void. The more they explored and the more they learned, the more respect and reverence they had for the Great Void and anything to do with it.

It was a very interesting phenomenon. Anything that came from the Great Void, even the most useless item, was a treasure that cultivators fought over in a frenzy. The Great Void Seed was one of the most precious treasures of them all. There were even rumors that the supreme beings had all retreated to the Great Void, isolating themselves from the rest of the world.

Ding Ling was the first to break the silence. She said sincerely, “Please forgive me for my previous offense.”

All the others bowed as well.

An elder standing on the left said, “It seems like there’s no longer a problem for Miss Ye to be the next Tower Master. However, everyone covets the Great Void energy. What if someone causes trouble after the Tower Master leaves?”

There were many geniuses who were killed before they could become stronger, nipped in the bud.

Lu Zhou said, “Ye Tianxin is my disciple. Who dares to cause trouble for her?”

No one dared to argue.

Lan Xihe said, “It’s easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. Just keep the matter of Ye Tianxin possessing the Great Void energy a secret.”

All the elders nodded.

“All of you may leave.”

The white-clad cultivators no longer had any objection so they left the training hall one after another.

Following that, Lan Xihe said apologetically, “Pavilion Master Lu, I’ve made a fool of myself.”

“Everyone makes mistakes. They’re from the White Tower Council, and they’ll be Ye Tianxin’s subordinates in the future. If we can’t convince the masses, even if they agree today, it’ll be a big problem in the future,” Lu Zhou said.

Lan Xihe nodded and said, “You’re right.” After a moment, she said, “Pavilion Master Lu personally brought Ye Tianxin to the White Tower Council to fulfill his promise. This is truly admirable. Ever since the battle with the beast emperor, I’ve been feeling slightly ashamed. I wonder how Duanmu Sheng is doing now…”

Lu Zhou said, “It’s just as Ning Wanqing said, this might be a blessing in disguise. If Lu Wu truly covets the Great Void Seed, it’ll have to think of a way to keep him alive. The great blood sacrifice had injured him greatly. If he was not taken away, perhaps, even I might not be able to save him…”

At this moment, Lan Xihe suddenly rose to her feet. She flew forward before she came to a stop a few meters in front of Lu Zhou. She stared at Lu Zhou for a few seconds before she boldly asked, “Pavilion Master Lu, do you dare to go to the Unknown Land?”

“…”

Previously, when Lu Zhou was at the red lotus domain’s Southern Kingdom that was near the Unknown Land, he did not dare to venture too far. After all, back then, his cultivation level was far too low. However, currently, his cultivation level was also not very high; he had seven Birth Charts, far fewer in comparison to Lan Xihe. If he really went to the Unknown Land now, would he not be in danger?

Seeing that Lu Zhou was distracted, Lan Xihe called out, “Pavilion Master Lu?”

Lu Zhou stood up and asked, “Do you know where Lu Wu is?”

“I’m not sure.”

This meant that Lan Xihe thought there was a possibility Lu Wu was in the Unknown Land.

“Then I’ll go to the Unknown Place,” Lu Zhou said.

Lan Xihe said to the blue-clad female attendant next to her. “Pavilion Master Lu and I will be back soon. Don’t neglect the guests…”

The blue-clad female attendant bowed. “Understood.”

Si Wuya also stood up and said, “Master, the Unknown Land is very dangerous. Please be careful.”

Lan Xihe said with a smile, “A few thousand years ago, the White Tower Council left an extremely hidden runic passage in the Unknown Land. The Unknown Land is indeed very dangerous, but as long as we’re careful and don’t cause a commotion, nothing will happen. Moreover, your master’s cultivation far surpasses mine; fierce beasts won’t be able to harm him…”

Lu Zhou. “…”

‘This old man is a little flustered.’

After saying that, Lan Xihe flew out of the training hall and descended.

Lu Zhou followed suit.

The elders were waiting downstairs, but when they saw the duo entering the Runes Hall, they did not dare to ask any questions.

After entering the runic circle, Lan Xihe gently flicked her sleeves.

The runic passage lit up and a pillar of light shot up.

The duo disappeared in just a blink of an eye.

When Lu Zhou saw the light in the runic passage was much brighter than usual, he asked, “Did you go to the Unknown Land often in the past?”

He noticed Lan Xihe’s movements were very skillful as though she had done this many times before. Her aura was sometimes strong and sometimes weak as she powered the runic passage. It was rather strange, but he could not put his fingers on it.

Lan Xihe shook her head. “No.”

“The runic passage will shoot out a pillar of light to the sky. This means we might attract unwanted attention. If the runic passage is destroyed, we’ll be in really big trouble…”

Traveling through the runic passage was like walking on the Milky Way. Stars could be seen on both sides and the space seemed to ripple.

After about 15 minutes, there was a little turbulence in the passage.

At the same time, Lan Xihe said, “We’re here.”

The scenes on both sides of the passage changed. First, only thick fog could be seen. As the fog gradually thinned, the silhouettes of mountains, towering ancient trees could be seen. Before long, they could see a sea of clouds that stretched as far as the eyes could see.

“This is the Unknown Land that leads to the Great Void.”

“It’s so high up?”

The two of them were hovering in the sky above an extremely tall mountain peak that towered over the clouds. Since the runic circle on the peak could only fit one person, both of them had mobilized their Primal Qi at almost the same time and flew up into the sky, overlooking the gloomy and mysterious Unknown Land.

Lan Xihe’s long hair and long robes fluttered in the air as she said, “This way, the pillar of light will be hidden in the clouds. However, we still risk attracting flying beasts. Nothing is absolute, after all.”

Whoosh!

The fierce wind raged; the coldness was bone-chilling.

The amazing thing was that the towering ancient trees below were lush and verdant, not affected by the cold at all.

The two of them continued to observe their surroundings from the high sky.

After a moment, Lan Xihe said, “Go south.”

Lu Zhou noticed there was a faint light in the distant sky, but he did not pay attention to it and followed Lan Xihe.

Lan Xihe did not fly very fast to prevent alerting the fierce beasts.

After flying for a short while, they heard a thunderous sound.

“Fierce beast.”

The duo landed on a mountain peak and looked up into the sky.

In the dense fog, a huge creature that looked like a dinosaur slowly passed through the forest. The mutated ancient trees only reached its calf. The beast’s skin was like that of a rock, and its eyes glowed with a greenish-black light. Its mouth was filled with sharp jagged teeth that glinted in the light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

“This fierce beast is at the level of a beast king,” Lan Xihe said softly, “It’s very territorial just like beast kings. If we go further, there should only be weak fierce beasts, and there won’t be any beast kings or fierce beasts at the level of a beast king.”

The two of them leaped into the air silently. They flew past the quiet ancient forest and the chaotic stone mountain. As expected, they saw countless small, sharp-toothed beasts moving in groups at the foot of the mountain.

Lan Xihe looked ahead and said, “Increase your speed.”

In just a blink of an eye, Lan Xihe had appeared several hundred meters away. After stabilizing herself, she turned around. Then, she looked at Lu Zhou with a confused expression. “Pavilion Master Lu?”
