Lu Wu lifted its head proudly to look at the dark sky. It looked as though it was recalling some unpleasant memories as it said, “Master Duanmu went… there once… He lost… 1,000 years of life… there…”
“Lost 1,000 years of life there?” Duanmu Sheng frowned.
Kong Wen said, “Indeed, there are rumors about this. This place has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages. It says that people age faster there. That’s why it was given the name ‘Transient City’.”
“...”
Everyone exchanged a look. Little Yuan’er and Conch looked particularly concerned.
In the end, Little Yuan’er could no longer hold back and said, “Then, let’s not go. I can break through to the Thousand Realms Whirling stage no matter where I am.”
“Me too,” Conch echoed Little Yuan’er’s sentiment.
Lu Zhou looked at his two youngest disciples and said tonelessly, “Both of you have already sprouted the tenth leaf. It’d be very easy for you to break through to the Thousand Realms Whirling stage there. Moreover, there’s even a chance for you to form the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar there and activate your second or even third Birth Charts there.”
Yu Zhenghai asked with a smile, “Junior sisters, are you afraid of the pain?”
Yu Zhenghai could still recall the excruciating pain he experienced when he first formed the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. At that time, it took him several days to successfully form the avatar in the Southern Kingdom’s Land of Chaos.
“Of course not!” Little Yuan’er said, “Let’s go then!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The little Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and flew until it drew level with Little Yuan’er’s height. Then, it opened its beaks widely, emitting a red light.
Little Yuan’er caught it in her hands and said, “Be good. I’ll find you something delicious to eat later…”
Everyone. “...”
It was rather difficult to imagine, at this moment, that the little Fire Phoenix in front of them would be a divine beast in the future.
After a moment, Kong Wen continued to say, “In fact, this is a really good opportunity. Due to the strangeness of Transient City, we might be able to find ancient treasures. We might also run into one or two decent fierce beasts. With Pavilion Master’s strength, it’d be easy to take them down.”
At this time, Kong Wen had no doubts that Lu Zhou was a Venerable Master. With a Venerable Master leading them, victory was in their grasp. Even if they run into danger, a Venerable Master would be able to easily protect them and bring them away.
For example, Qin Renyue had brought the 49 Swordsmen away safely. Ye Zheng could have protected his men as well if he did not offend Lu Zhou and Lu Wu.
Lu Zhou nodded. “Alright. We’ll rest here for another two days before we set off…”
Everyone bowed.
Then, Lu Wu looked at Lu Wu and asked, “Do you hate Ye Zheng very much?”
Lu Wu said, “Yes. I didn’t escape, I would’ve… broken his bones… and skinned him… before killing him!”
After saying that, Lu Wu turned around and left. It was obvious that something unpleasant had transpired between it and Ye Zheng.
Duanmu Sheng bowed and said sheepishly, “Master, I’ll teach it well…”
Lu Zhou studied Duanmu Sheng for a moment before he said, “It seems like you’ve improved a lot during this time…”
Duanmu Sheng was delighted by his master’s praise. He said with a smile, “It’s all thanks to master’s guidance.”
Lu Wu. “?”
Lu Zhou continued to say, “Continue to work hard. Also, I’ve already taught Lu Wu the Breaking the Formation technique so it could teach it to you. Remember not to slack…”
“Yes, master.”
After saying that, Lu Zhou leaped back up onto the ancient tree.
Duanmu Sheng leaped onto Lu Wu’s back and asked, “My master taught you the Breaking the Formation technique?”
Lu Wu turned slightly, wanting to look at Duanmu Sheng. When it could not see him, it sighed lightly before it said, “I’ll teach you in the future.”
…
Yannan’s Blessed Land.
Ye Zheng, who was soaking in a tub of steaming medicinal liquid, suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of joy could be seen in his eyes at this moment.
A disciple bowed and said, “Congratulations on becoming a Venerable Master again.”
Ye Zheng manifested his astrolabe and looked at the 18 Birth Charts that lit up. Alas, their light was not bright enough.
Upon seeing this, the disciple said, “The elder has said that although you’ve returned to being a Venerable Master again, due to the Primal Qi storm, you lost quite a bit of strength. You’ll need to cultivate for some time before you can return to your peak.”
Ye Zheng remained silent for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, “I know what to do.”
“The elder has also said there are three beast kings in the back mountain…”
Ye Zheng nodded before asking expressionlessly, “What else did he say?”
“He said that you have to seek revenge for the death of the disciples and the destruction of the 36 Big Dipper Flag Formation. He hopes that you’ll recover your strength as soon as possible…” the disciple replied.
Ye Zheng sighed and closed his eyes. His mind was filled with the image of the 36 Confucian scholars being roasted by fire. After a while, he asked, “Where are the four elders?”
“The four elders went to the Unknown Land to bring the Pillar of Impermanence back. Only the Pillar of Impermanence will be able to help you…”
Ye Zheng did not know what to say upon hearing these words.
Yannan had placed all their hopes on him, and yet, he failed to live up to their expectations.
“You may leave.”
“Understood.”
…
After successfully activating his tenth Birth Chart, Lu Zhou could tell after sensing his Dantian’s sea of Qi that the improvement this time was not as significant as the Great Birth Chart. Nevertheless, it was not too bad.
The three regions, human; earth; and heaven, were further divided into twelve. Even after he had completely opened the heaven region, he would still have to return to the human region. Hence, it was all the same to him.
The activation of Birth Charts was first easy before it would turn difficult. The key point is to choose the life hearts carefully. There should not be duplicates of abilities and elementary life hearts should not be used in the heaven region to avoid wastage.
Following that, Lu Zhou used the power of sight. The situation in the golden lotus domain was normal apart from the bad weather so he decided to observe the red lotus domain.
Lu Zhou discovered that Si Wuya was preparing to sprout the tenth leaf.
Jiang Aijian had left Peng Island and was staying in the Sky Martial Academy. He even brought a bunch of swords and asked Wang Dachui to reforge them.
…
Two days later.
Early in the morning.
The weather in the Unknown Land seemed to be calmer, but the darkness and the dark fog did not relent at all.
At this time, everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion had already gathered.
“Let’s go.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Everyone, including Whitzard, leaped onto Lu Wu’s back.
Whitzard particularly enjoyed the feeling of being carried.
Duanmu Sheng stood at the front, holding the Overlord Spear in his hand, as he said, “Lu Wu, it’s been hard on you this time.”
Meanwhile, Kong Wen and his brothers could hardly contain their excitement. Not even in their wildest dreams did they imagine they would be able to sit on a beast emperor’s back.
Lu Wu said arrogantly, “Sit tight!”
Boom!
Lu Wu stomped on the ground and leaped up into the black fog.
Everyone cried out in surprise, taken aback by Lu Wu’s terrifying speed.
Lu Wu deliberately showed off its strength. Every time it landed, it would not stop before it leaped up into the clouds again, crossing thousands of meters.
The journey that would normally take ten days to half a month would only take them two to three days due to Lu Wu’s speed.
During this time, Lu Zhou would use the Disguise Card and Concealment Card to maintain his disguise.
Halfway through the journey, Lu Zhou saw a terrifying number of beasts migrating. Their number was even more terrifying than what he had seen the first time he came to the Unknown Land.
The fierce beasts were all heading east.
“It’s been a long time since I saw such a large-scale migration…” Kong Wen said.
“Can migration really solve the problem of imbalance?” Lu Li asked as he looked at the fierce beasts heading east.
“I don’t know.” Kong Wen sighed. “Even Venerable Masters aren’t sure…”
“What happens if they don’t migrate?”
Everyone fell silent upon hearing these questions.
“There are many problems in the cultivation world. Imbalance isn’t the most difficult one. When chaos reaches its peak, peace will be restored. In comparison, the heaven and earth shackles are much more difficult to understand and solve,” Kong Wen replied with a smile.
Everyone nodded. Until now, no one has solved the mystery of the heaven and earth shackles.
…
Three days later.
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were drawing close to the ruins of Transient City.
“Our journey is really smooth. We didn’t run into any human cultivators or powerful beast emperors.”
“Lu Wu is a beast emperor. Others would definitely avoid it. Moreover, the Unknown Land is vast. It’s not easy to meet other humans…”
At this time, Lu Wu said, “We’re about to arrive at Transient City.”
After a while, Lu Wu landed on the ground as agile and quiet as a cat.
Duanmu Sheng commented, “It’d be great if you’d be this quiet every time.”
Lu Wu. “...”
Mingshi Yin said with a smile, “Third Senior Brother, humans and beasts are different. They’re just like dogs. Every time they arrive at a new place, they have to make a fuss, letting everyone know their location. They’re declaring their territory!”
“Then, this time…” Duanmu Sheng scratched his head.
“This is Transient City. There are many natural treasures here; there might even be a beast emperor,” Kong Wen said, reminding everyone.
Everyone looked at the foggy area up ahead. It was like a barrier isolating Transient City from the rest of the Unknown Land.
Suddenly, a scream rang from Transient City.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, a figure flew out from the direction of Transient City and landed on the ground. The figure was completely drenched in blood.
The person looked up and said in a panic, “No, don’t go there. Don’t go there!”
Lu Zhou frowned and said, “Why are you so afraid?”
The person panted heavily. “Monster. A never-seen-before monster!”
Lu Wu lowered its head and looked at the frightened cultivator.
If Lu Wu did not lower its head, its four limbs would be like pillars that towered into the sky.
At the moment Lu Wu lowered its head, the cultivator looked up and met its gaze. Then, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
“...”
Mingshi Yin said, “He’s so timid, and yet, he dares to come here. He should stay at home and look after his children…”
Lu Zhou imbued a little divine power into the cultivator.
When the cultivator regained consciousness, he suddenly got up and rushed away without saying anything.
Suddenly…
Crash!
The sound of rocks falling rang from the ancient ruins of Transient City.
