Qin Naihe had been observing the changes in the golden lotus domain for quite some time. He had always been very careful not to interfere or reveal too much. As time passed, he found that being weak did not mean one was not living well. For example, the frogs living at the bottom of the well were happy and comfortable. There was no need to force the frogs to leave the well and bask in the sun if they were happy.

It had been too long since Qin Naihe left the golden lotus domain so he had forgotten Ji Tiandao’s appearance and name. Moreover, who would remember a tiny ant? However, now, the ant had transformed into a towering tree and stood in front of him. It was not surprising that he found this difficult to accept. How was it possible for one to become a Venerable Master in 300 years?

Qin Naihe shook his head vehemently and said, “This is impossible!”

“I’m tired of hearing these words,” Lu Zhou said.

Qin Naihe said, “If a Venerable Master were to appear in the golden lotus domain, the balance would be broken. It’s impossible for the Great Void to ignore it.”

“Balance?” Lu Zhou said disapprovingly, “There are so many Venerable Masters in the green lotus domain, but there’s not even one Venerable Master from the golden lotus domain, red lotus domain, black lotus domain, or the white lotus domain. Do you think this is balanced?”

Qin Naihe replied, “No. Senior, you’ve neglected the fierce beasts. Human cultivators in the domains you mentioned are weak, but the fierce beasts in these domains are generally stronger. One beast emperor is equivalent to a Venerable Master. Moreover, in the vast Unknown Land, there are supreme beasts that are far superior to Venerable Masters…”

Lu Zhou scoffed. “What a ridiculous balance!”

“…”

Lu Qianshan saw the duo debating and did not dare to interrupt. Once the duo fell silent, he quickly asked, “If this is considered balanced, why doesn’t the Great Void allow you to cross the boundaries?”

Qin Naihe had no answer for this question.

It was not that no one had raised this question. On the contrary, the cultivators from the green lotus domain had often thought about this question. There was no answer, and there was no one they could ask.

Lu Qianshan continued to say, “Is it possible that the green lotus domain is also like an ant in the eyes of those from the Great Void? What if everything is just their plaything?”

Qin Naihe could not refute these words. After a while, he looked at Lu Zhou and said, “It’s impossible unless… you have the Great Void Seed.”

Lu Qianshan. “…”

‘This guy is stating the obvious. Isn’t it obvious?’

Lu Zhou frowned; he felt like he was going to get a headache again. Nevertheless, he could see why Qin Naihe came to this conclusion.

In the book Lu Tiantong had left behind, he had said that he had obtained a Great Void Seed 30,000 years ago. Lu Zhou wondered if Lu Tiantong was captured by the Great Void after he became a Venerable Master.

Everyone was waiting for the appearance of the Great Void Seeds. As his and his disciples’ cultivation continued to improve, they would inevitably attract everyone’s attention. The only way to avoid attention was to live in seclusion.

Finally, Lu Zhou asked, “If I say that I don’t have it, will you believe me?”

Qin Naihe. “…”

‘The hell would I believe you?! This Old Geezer is really evil!’

Qin Naihe was no longer interested in staying. He said, “No matter what, the balance has been broken. I believe that it won’t be long before the people from the Great Void show up. I’ve said all I can. Gentlemen, can I leave now?”

There was no gain from today’s mission, and Qin Naihe did not know how he should explain it when he returned.

Lu Zhou asked, “Why don’t we make a bet?”

“No.” Qin Naihe did not hesitate and flew up into the air.

“The Equalizers won’t show up.”

“They will,” Qin Naihe retorted.

“How long do you think it’ll take before they show up?”

“Within three months.”

“Why do you say that?” Lu Zhou asked.

Qin Naihe shrugged. “I don’t know. It’s just a feeling.”

“Meet me at Cold Breeze Valley in three months. Of course, if you’re afraid, you don’t have to come.”

After saying these words, Lu Zhou turned around with a flick of his sleeve and flew following the direction of the wind.

Lu Qianshan followed closely behind Lu Zhou.

As Qin Naihe watched the duo leave, he muttered to himself, “Did I agree to the bet? Meet three months later? You can enjoy the breeze here yourself at that time…”

Then, Qin Naihe disappeared in just a flash.

…

When Lu Zhou arrived at the periphery of the jungle, he looked at the place where Qin Naihe was standing from the corners of his eyes and discovered it was already empty.

Lu Qianshan asked in confusion, “Venerable Master Lu, why didn’t you kill him?”

“He still has uses…”

“What if he doesn’t show up?” Lu Qianshan asked.

Lu Zhou furrowed his brows as he looked at Lu Qianshan before he said tonelessly, “You talk a little too much.”

“…” Lu Qianshan shut his mouth immediately.

At the same time, the cultivators retreated as they looked at the sage-like Lu Zhou and Lu Qianshan in shock and confusion.

“What’s going on?”

Lu Zhou glanced at the cultivators. He could not let them return and gossip about him. Otherwise, it would only attract unnecessary attention. Hence, he said, “Remember this: I’m not Venerable Master Lu. Today, I used a disguising technique to break the Nine Twist Illusionary Formation. That’s all”

Everyone bowed and agreed.

“So he’s really the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion?”

Lu Zhou swept his gaze across the young cultivators as he raised his hand to stroke his beard. As expected, it felt good to stroke his beard. After a moment, he nodded and revealed an amiable smile on his face as he said, “The younger generation is really promising.”

Everyone bowed again.

“Thank you for your praise, Senior Lu!”

“Today, we’re fortunate enough to receive guidance from the Pavilion Master. We will definitely not disappoint your expectations of us.”

“That’s right. We won’t disappoint you.”

The young cultivators bowed again.

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction before he flew into the distance.

Lu Qianshan did not say anything and hurried after Lu Zhou.

After the duo left, the young cultivators flew toward the human-shaped hole on the mountain wall. They looked at the hole and admired it for a long time before they finally left.

…

In the evening.

Qin Naihe appeared near the human-shaped hole on the mountain wall. He looked at it for a long time before he shook his head and sighed. “I couldn’t dodge it at all… That palm strike isn’t that of a Venerable Master, but it feels even more powerful… Why?”

Qin Naihe knew what the power of a Venerable Master was like so he was filled with doubts.

As he looked at the hole, he could feel the pain all over his body again when he recalled what had happened.

In the end, he quickly flew away.

…

In a white palace.

Two orbs of light, one day and one month, flew in front of the palace.

At this time, a female attendant appeared at the entrance of the palace. She bowed and said, “Master, there’s news from the Sacred Hall. They said there were strange fluctuations in the black lotus domain. However, there’s no reaction from the Scales of Justice.”

“Alright. Maintain contact with the Sacred Hall.”

“Understood.”

“Also, keep an eye on the White Tower Council. If necessary, dispatch the supreme beasts.”

“Understood.” The female attendant bowed before she left.

At this moment, a shadow appeared in the southeast corner of the white palace. It belonged to a person with white hair and looked to be over sixty years old.

“Since you’re returned to the Great Void, you should only focus on the Great Void and not interfere with anything else. The Balance will be handled by the Equalizers. I hope you’ll focus on your cultivation.”

“Understood..” The figure flashed away.
