My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 1784 - The Sacred Region


Chapter 1784: The Sacred Region

After Jiang Aijian left the hall, Jie Jin’an slowly walked into the hall and took a seat. He sighed and said, “I didn’t expect the world to change so fast.”

Lu Zhou said, “After so many years, aren’t you still alive and well? Why are you suddenly so sentimental?”

Jie Jin’an did not reply. Instead, he asked, “Do you really intend to look for Ming Xin? He’s also been to the Great Maelstrom.”

This was not Lu Zhou’s first time hearing about the Great Maelstrom. He also noticed Jie Jin’an’s use of the word ‘also’.

“Great Maelstrom…”

“Back then, you and Chong Guang went to the Great Maelstrom together. After that, your cultivation improved greatly and reached the peak. Ming Xin had repeated your path. Brother Lu, you have to be careful,” Jie Jin’an said.

Lu Zhou nodded. “If he’s really stronger than I am, why doesn’t he come look for me?”

“Maybe he’s waiting for something…” Jie Jin’an said.

“My ten disciples?”

Jie Jin’an chuckled. “You really like accepting disciples and students… Perhaps, it’s fate…” After that, he switched the topic and asked, “I’m very curious about what the Great Maelstrom is like.”

Lu Zhou shook his head slightly and said, “Since ancient times, only a few people can reach the Great Maelstrom. Only one in 10,000 can escape unscathed. I only remember that place being chaotic.

Lu Zhou shook his head slightly and said, “Since ancient times, only a few people can truly reach the great whirlpool. Only one in ten thousand can escape unscathed. “I only remember that place being chaotic. It’s been too long, and I can’t remember everything…”

Jie Jin’an sighed. “How fascinating…”

Lu Zhou changed the topic and asked, “How have you been living in the Evil Sky Pavilion these days?”

“I’ve been living a leisurely life here. It’s not bad, but I’m bored,” Jie Jin’an replied.

“The Evil Sky Pavilion is in need of people recently. A large number of fierce beasts from the Unknown Land and Great Void keep appearing in the Misty Forest. If you’re really bored, go and help them,” Lu Zhou said.

“…”

Jie Jin’an grumbled, “It seems like you still treat me like a laborer…”

Lu Zhou said, “It’s up to you whether you go or not. You said you’re bored, and I found something for you to do, but you’re still grumbling.”

The duo laughed.

At this time, Princess Yong Ning walked into the hall. When she heard the duo’s laughter, she was deeply moved. After a moment, she said, “Pavilion Master, the Sect Master of Tian Sect, Nan Gongwei, requests an audience with you.”

“Let him in.”

The duo put away their smiles immediately.

When Nan Gongwei entered the hall, he bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Senior Ji.”

“Take a seat.”

Nan Gongwei took a seat. His voice and expression were one of excitement and respect.

Lu Zhou asked, “How’s the situation at the frontline?”

“Since Senior Ji had taken action, the situation had eased for now. Lord Meng Zhang is there so the fierce beasts don’t dare to attack,” Nan Gongwei replied.

Jie Jin’an interjected. “The Great Void is going to fall sooner or later. It’s not good for the beasts to stay there. When the sky falls, they’ll grow desperate enough to attack again. At that time, even Meng Zhang might not be able to deter or stop the flood of fierce beasts…”

Nan Gongwei looked at Jie Jin’an. He did not recognize Jie Jin’an so he asked politely, “May I ask who this is?”

Jie Jin’an answered very simply, “Jie Jin’an.”

“Senior Jie’s words are true. The number of fierce beasts is simply too large. I’m worried about the sea beasts coming to shore as well. At that time, things will get even worse for the nine domains. Even if we come to an agreement, it’s difficult for the nine domains to accommodate so many humans and fierce beasts…” Nan Gongwei said.

Jie Jin’an smiled and said, “The sea beasts come to shore for food, which is humans. However, they’ll always live in the sea so there’s no need to worry about accommodating them. As for the fierce beasts from the Great Void and the Unknown Land, it’s indeed a problem. However, after the sky collapses, won’t the sun, moon, and light return again?”

Nan Gongwei did not understand these words.

On the other hand, Lu Zhou nodded. “You’re right. Won’t it be great to see the sun and the moon again?”

Nan Gongwei could not help but ask, “Senior Jie, what do you mean?”

Jie Jin’an laughed and said, “I’m talking about the Unknown Land.”

Nan Gongwei’s eyes lit up as realization dawned on him.

If the Great Void fell, the light would return to the Unknown Land that only knew darkness over the past 100,000 years.

The Great Void came from the Unknown Land, and they were both vast. After the land split, the nine domains were born. After that, the scale of the land splitting was not large, but it made the Unknown Land even vaster. If light returned, the Unknown Land could accommodate everyone, including those from the nine domains.

“I look forward to that day,” Nan Gongwei said with a sigh, “Since the imbalance began a few hundred years ago, people have been suffering.”

Jie Jin’an said, “I believe that day isn’t far away…”

At this moment, Lu Zhou thought about the Great Abyss Land so he brought a talisman out to contact Si Wuya.

When the projection appeared, Lu Zhou saw Little Yuan’er and Conch standing next to Si Wuya.

“Master!” Little Yuan’er cried out happily.

Si Wuya said respectfully, “Master, Junior Sister Conch has comprehended the Great Dao. Tomorrow morning, we’ll be leaving for the Great Abyss Land.”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “You already know my plan. Be careful.”

Si Wuya said, “Understood. With master keeping an eye on the temple, I believe we won’t encounter many problems during our trip to the Great Abyss Land.”

Lu Zhou said, “Ming Xin is the biggest variable. It’s not enough even if I keep an eye on him. We have to be wary of others.”

“Don’t worry, master. Emperor Shang Zhang has agreed to come with us. Apart from Emperor Shang Zhang, I’ve invited the White Emperor and the Azure Emperor as well. With the three divine emperors around, even the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple can’t do anything to Ninth Junior Sister,” Si Wuya said.

Nan Gongwei said, filled with praise, “There’s no need to worry when Mr. Seventh handles things.”

Si Wuya continued to say, “Ming Xin has yet to make any move, and the Sacred Temple is the same. Master, please be careful if you plan to look for Ming Xin.”

Lu Zhou said, “Don’t worry.”

‘I’m only worried that he refuses to show himself…’

With Lu Zhou’s current strength, even if he could not defeat Ming Xin, he would still be able to protect himself. Moreover, he had also grasped the great law of time and mastered time reversal.

Lu Zhou said, “There’s another thing. I took down Li Lun in the red lotus domain.”

Si Wuya was surprised. “A remnant Saint slayer? They’re not easy to deal with. If they come out to deal with humans, it’ll be troublesome.”

“So all of you must comprehend the Great Dao as soon as possible.”

“Yes. I’ve already spoken to the others. Once everyone’s gathered, we’ll set off to the Great Abyss Land.”

“Alright,” Lu Zhou said before cutting off the projection.

Then, Lu Zhou walked down the stairs to the entrance of the hall. He looked outside and said, “It’s time to go to the Sacred Temple to have a look…”

Jie Jin’an said, “Be careful.”

“Safe travels, Senior Ji,” Nan Gongwei said.

Lu Zhou flashed and disappeared from sight. When he reappeared again, he was already standing in the Evil Sky Pavilion’s runic passage. With a flash of light, he was transported away.

Lu Zhou appeared in the sky above the Unknown Land. He looked at the mountains and land that were shrouded in darkness. The once glorious place was now a desolate land. Thinking about Jie Jin’an words about the sun and moon returning, he thought that it would not be long before light returned to this place.

Lu Zhou raised his head and looked at the distant sky. He could see a huge number of flying beasts migrating.

Nobody cared about the balance in the Unknown Land now. They were only thinking about how to escape and survive.

Lu Zhou did not stay in the Unknown Land for long. He went to a runic passage and was transported to the Great Void.

The Great Void was bright, and the scenery was beautiful. It was the complete opposite of the dark and damp Unknown Land.

However, right now, panic and chaos had descended on the Great Void.

News of the impending fall of the Great Void had spread far and wide, and all the Great Void cultivators were seeking refuge and means to survive.

Lu Zhou flew past mountains and rivers before he arrived at Xuanyi Palace.

When Lu Zhou arrived at the main hall of Xuanyi Palace, Xuanyi said excitedly, “Teacher, you’re finally back! I really don’t know what to do with you!”

“You’re Emperor Xuanyi, the Master of Xuanyi Palace, after all. Why are you so flustered?” Lu Zhou asked.

“How can I not be flustered? After the commotion at the upper core, the cultivators in Xuanyi Palace’s territory have been coming to me every day, asking for an explanation and solution. I can’t just watch as my people suffer…”

Lu Zhou frowned and asked, “Isn’t there the migration and representative plan?”

Xuanyi smiled and said, “I know about the plan, but I didn’t want to act without consulting teacher. Can you please advise me?”

Lu Zhou said with a hint of reproach, “You’re really the Master of Xuanyi Palace in vain. You can’t even make your own decision.”

Xuanyi smiled and said, “If you’re willing to take over my position, then I’m willing to step down!”

“…”

Lu Zhou said, “How about this? The golden lotus domain is relatively vast, and not many Great Void cultivators have chosen to go there. You can bring your people to the golden lotus domain.”

Xuanyi was overjoyed when he heard this. “Thank you, teacher!” However, a worried expression soon appeared on his face before he said, “However, there are still some people who are unwilling to leave. They were born in the Great Void and have lived here all their lives. Hence, they’re very attached to this place. There are also those stubborn ones who simply don’t want to participate in the plan. What should I do?”

Lu Zhou’s expression turned stern as he said, “You can’t be indecisive. How can you be a ruler if you’re always so indecisive? There are some things that you have to decide on your own, and sometimes, you have to make hard choices.”

Xuanyi sighed heavily. “Teacher is right.”

Lu Zhou said, “My people are all in Xuanyi Palace, and their cultivation isn’t bad either. They can help you to deal with some problems for now. Remember not to delay this matter,” Lu Zhou said.

Xuanyi made up his mind and said, “Yes. I’ll do as teacher says…”

“I have something important to do. Borrow me your runic passage,” Lu Zhou said.

“Of course. Please feel free to use it…” Xuanyi said before he led Lu Zhou to the runic passage.

There were not many runic passages that led to the Sacred Region.

There were only three ways for cultivators to go to the Sacred Region.

First, through official runic passages sanctioned by the Sacred Temple or illegal runic passages. Second, to fly there; disregarding time, distance, and cost. Third, was to have a divine emperor who was also a runemaster open up a runic passage on the spot, which required an extremely high cultivation.

Needless to say, most people would use the first way.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were still unaware that Lu Zhou had returned to Xuanyi Palace after Lu Zhou, and Xuanyi who accompanied him, arrived outside of the Sacred Region through Xuanyi’s runic passage.

The Sacred Region was easily as vast as any of the nine domains.

Lu Zhou looked at the towering city walls and the towering trees outside of the city.

Xuanyi sighed. “When the Great Void was in its infancy, the Sacred Temple summoned all the cultivators. For 3,750 years, they built the 10,000-foot-tall city wall around the Sacred Region. They also made the runemaster draw 100,000 defensive runes, building the strongest barrier in the Great Void. That itself took 1,700 years. It was an unprecedentedly grand project.”

At this time, Lu Zhou’s eyes glowed with a blue light, and his vision improved greatly. He saw the city wall was covered densely with runes, and he could sense the immense energy that shrouded the city wall.

Then, Lu Zhou said, “Compared to my Grand Mystic Mountain back then that was like the clouds in the sky, this place is like mud.”

Xuanyi nodded and said, “The people of the world are ignorant. Grand Mystic Mountain was truly magnificent. In comparison, the Sacred Region is gaudy, wasteful, and ostentatious.”
