Chapter 1174: Nine Originates from One

Ye Zheng was dissatisfied with Ye Wusheng’s answer.

Ye Wusheng was the only one who survived the battle. He was the only one left who had experienced and witnessed everything, and yet, he knew nothing. One had to know that Ye Wusheng was an outstanding talent in the Ye clan who was sent numerous time by the clan to the Unknown Land. He had experienced many life-or-death situations in the past and had witnessed the vicissitudes of life. Alas, he ended up like that.

Apart from feeling slightly disappointed, Ye Zheng was rather indifferent.

After a moment, Ye Wusheng climbed out from the pit. He kneeled before he prostrated himself. His body trembled slightly as he said reverently, “The Great Void Seed… has appeared…”

There was nothing more magical than those first four words.

A trace of surprise could be seen on Ye Zheng’s expressionless face as soon as these words fell. He placed his hands on his back and asked indifferently, “Where is it?”

Ye Wusheng replied, “This person is with Lu Wu. A month ago, I heard that Lu Wu had appeared at Lake Heart Island so I rushed there with Ye Cheng. It was while I was speaking to Lu Wu that I noticed that person possesses the Great Void Seed. Hence, I quickly sent news back to the Ye clan. In order to prevent losing Lu Wu, I contacted the monster hunting squad.”

Ye Wusheng began to regain clarity and recounted everything to Ye Zheng.

After listening to Ye Wusheng’s words, Ye Zheng sighed softly. “The seeds mature once every 30,000 years. 300 years ago, all of the seeds were lost, and their whereabouts are still unknown. There are many talented cultivators and experts in the world, but no one has found them. To think one has appeared in the Unknown Land…”

Ye Wusheng hurriedly kowtowed and said, “Please forgive me. I didn’t mean to hide this from you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me, Venerable Master.”

Ye Wusheng kowtowed with all his might, praying fervently that the Venerable Master would show mercy. He even hoped the Venerable Master would heal him so he could resume cultivating on account of his many years of hard work and dedication.

Ye Zheng’s face was expressionless as usual. No ripples could be seen on his face at all. Ye Wusheng was like a child in his eyes. What thoughts could Ye Wusheng hide from him? After a moment, he asked, “The person who defeated Lu Wu on Lake Heart Island is a Venerable Master?”

Ye Wusheng shook his head and said, “He’s definitely not a Venerable Master. His cultivation is very strange, and his strength is just… illogical. That’s right! His energy is blue!”

“Blue?” Ye Zheng frowned slightly.

“However, I’m sure he came from the golden lotus domain…” Ye Wusheng added. He did not stop kowtowing and reassured himself repeatedly by thinking that he was telling the truth and was not lying.

Ye Zheng flicked his sleeve, and a circle of light fell on Ye Wusheng. Then, he said, “Your have zero Birth Charts now. Whether you can return to the Ye clan or not will depend on your luck.”

Ye Wusheng’s body trembled slightly when he heard these words. He did not dare to protest at all. He respectfully kowtowed before he rose to his feet and walked away.

Ye Zheng had always clearly distinguished when to reward and when to punish; this was his way of doing things.

Following that, Ye Zheng vanished and reappeared in the air again. He maintained a low altitude. He sensed the auras in the air and the traces of the battle on the ground. He looked at the rubble and debris from the leveled mountains, the shattered rocks, and the corpses that were pierced by energy arrows until they looked like a hornet’s nest.

“Lu Wu seems to have become stronger, and that person who helped Lu Wu isn’t weak either…”

Ye Zheng flicked his hand and vanished again. He rushed east at top speed. He was so fast that when he moved, the void seemed to ripple and distort in his wake. Apart from that, there was no fluctuation of energy at all.

…

Half a day later.

Ye Zheng appeared at the top of the peak. He looked up at the rolling clouds in the sky. It looked as though a fierce beast would emerge from them at any moment.

Then, he continued to travel east. This time, his speed was slower.

After flying quite a distance away, the fog and clouds roiled even more violently than before. The sound of thunder rang intermittently as well.

Ye Zheng looked up with a frown on his face. “Balance?”

Ye Cheng did not continue to move forward. He hovered in the air and looked around. He glanced in the eastern direction before he turned around expressionlessly and flew back to the peak from before.

Strangely, when he arrived, the fog and clouds seemed to have calmed down slightly.

All of a sudden, hundreds and thousands of falcon-like flying beasts flew toward Ye Zheng from all directions.

There were no changes on Ye Zheng’s face as he looked at the sky with his hands resting on his back.

More and more falcon-like flying beasts flew over. They were like a plague of locusts. The air around the peak was completely filled with flying beasts.

A faintly transparent barrier appeared around Ye Zheng and swiftly expanded until it covered several thousands of meters in just a blink of an eye.

When the falcon-like flying beasts came in contact with the barrier, they seemed to freeze in the air before they dropped down.

Soon after, the sky was clear again. Not a single living flying beast could be seen.

Ye Zheng looked at the ground before he turned around and vanished into thin air.

…

At the same time.

In a white palace.

A female attendant bowed and said, “Master, the temple has sent news that the Scales of Justice had moved, but balance has now been restored…”

Two streaks of light, like the sun and the moon, flew out of the hall at this moment and illuminated the sky.

“Alright. Continue to pay attention to this matter.”

“Understood.”

…

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou, who had returned to the Eastern Abyss neighboring the Moonlight Woodland, said, “Stop.”

Everyone came to a stop immediately.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Conch looked around curiously. The journey had been smooth and without trouble. Why did they suddenly stop?

Lu Wu looked up at the sky and the fog that had stopped rolling. After a while, it said, “The balance…”

“The balance?”

“In the ancient times… Legends… No… Perhaps, only people… from.. Great Void… can explain it…” Lu Wu lowered its head. Its expression clearly said: I don’t know either.

Lu Zhou asked, “Do you know Lan Xihe?”

Lu Wu shook its head.

Lu Zhou said, “Generally, the green lotus cultivators are stronger than the black lotus cultivators. Is this the effect of the so-called balance?”

“Why ask when you already know?” Lu Wu could not be bothered to answer such an idiotic question.

“Fine… Since you are willing to submit to Duanmu Sheng and acknowledge him as your Young Master, I’ll give you a chance to join the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Lu Zhou said.

“The Evil Sky Pavilion?” Lu Wu’s ears pricked up as though it had heard some shocking news. Its expression clearly revealed its urge to gossip. It exhaled a gust of heatwave before it said, “A Venerable Master has actually fallen to such a state… How sad, how sad…”

Lu Zhou said, “Think about it carefully.”

Lu Wu did not even think about it and said disdainfully, “Can a small sect accommodate a majestic beast emperor like me?”

“Hey, Little Tiger, don’t you think you’re overestimating yourself?” Conch said, slightly displeased.

“Huh?” Lu Wu looked back.

“Let alone you, even if a Venerable Master wants to join the Evil Sky Pavilion, my master might not agree,” Conch said.

Lu Zhou asked, “Do you plan to continue staying in the Unknown Land?”

Lu Wu said in a low voice, “Young Master can’t leave for the time being.”

“How long will it take to complete the integration?” Lu Zhou asked.

“At least three to five months… At most three to five years,” Lu Wu replied.

Lu Zhou nodded and pointed in the direction of the Moonlight Woodland. “Then you can stay in the Moonlight Woodland.”

Lu Wu looked at the dark forest in front of it suspiciously.

Lu Zhou said, “You’ve never been there?”

Lu Tiantong was Lu Qianshan’s ancestor, and he had stood at the peak of all beings 30,000 years ago. He was an old acquaintance of Duanmu Dian so Duanmu Dian and Lu Wu should have gone to the black lotus domain before. However, on second thought, this place led to the golden lotus domain, not the black lotus domain. Perhaps, Lu Wu had gone to the black lotus domain from another entrance.

Lu Wu shook its head.

Lu Zhou said, “Lu Wu, apart from the Unknown Land, there are another two unknown lands. Have you been there?”

Lu Wu shook its head again.

It was not surprising when Lu Zhou thought about it again. Humans labeled the places did not know as ‘unknown lands’. The places Lu Wu naturally did not count as ‘unknown lands’ to it.

“Interesting… Nine used to be one…” Lu Zhou felt that Si Wuya’s speculations were not wrong, but there were still many things that did not make sense.

“You’re deliberately being mysterious again…” Lu Wu said.

An idea suddenly appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind at this moment, and he said, “Do you know how to draw a map?”

Following that, Lu Wu threw its head back and roared, scaring the fierce beasts in the vicinity into fleeing in all directions.
