Mingshi Yin’s curiosity was piqued. He walked toward the paper and when he saw what was on it, his eyes widened in shock. “I-impossible…”

Xiao Yunhe walked over as well. With just a look, he was stunned as well.

Lu Zhou and Si Wuya were already mentally prepared. They had been researching the matter and trying to confirm it before they finally arrived at this conclusion.

The five brothers looked at the sketch as well.

“What… does this mean?”

The five brothers had only been to the Unknown Land and the green lotus domain prior to this. Their knowledge of other places was only what they heard from other people. They had never seen maps of the other places. Even if they had seen it, it should be strangely shaped, not like the lotus in front of their eyes.

“Since you’re from the green lotus domain, you should know about this. Why are you surprised?”

Sun Mu shook his head and said, “It’s not as simple as you think. May I ask for your name?”

“Si Wuya, the seventh disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Si Wuya,” Si Wuya said as he cupped his fists at Sun Mu.

Sun Mu nodded. “We grew up in the green lotus domain. What we know and learned were from the insights and experiences of generations of sages. There were many great cultivators who wanted to discover the secrets of the world and paid the price with their lives to cross the Endless Ocean. In the end, with all their efforts, they left behind a map.”

Sun Mu lifted his head and asked, “May I borrow a brush?”

After the brush was brought over, Sun Mu began to draw on a piece of white paper. Although the drawing was rough, the general outline was quite clear. After he finished drawing, he said, “Please take a look.”

Everyone gathered and looked at the map.

“The Unknown Land is vast; it’s thousands of times bigger than the domains and the two domains that merged into one. The domains are just like small pieces of land in comparison. Or perhaps, it’d be more accurate to say the domains are like islands scattered around the Unknown Land.”

Si Wuya stroked his chin and carefully studied what Sun Mu understood of the world.

Sun Mu continued to say, “Venerable Masters need three years to cross the Unknown Land, and Free Men need four to five years. As for cultivators like me, if we don’t have runic passages, we likely won’t be able to cross the Unknown Land even after decades have passed. However, I only need five days to cross the red lotus domain.”

Everyone nodded their heads.

Only Si Wuya shook his head and said, “No.”

“He said you’re wrong.”

“He’s questioning the theory that countless sages had come up with.”

“He seems very confident.”

“Let’s hear what he has to say.”

“Alright.”

Mingshi Yin massaged his temples. He disliked this kind of discussion the most; he much preferred it if he were just given the answers.

Si Wuya smiled and said, “May I ask where’s the Great Void?”

“This…” Sun Mu stammered, “Of course, it’s in the Unknown Land. It’s so vast. I think it should be at the heart of the Unknown Land.”

Si Wuya said, “Alright, let’s the Great Void is in the depths of the Unknown Land. The environment is harsh, and sunlight is scarce all year round. How do the people of the Great Void endure it? Second, even if the Unknown Land is vast, after such a long time, why is it that not even one person stumbled upon the Great Void until now?”

“Are you questioning sages’ theories and experiences? Are you alone more powerful than the countless sages who came before you?”

“Only if we question what we know will there be progress. The things left behind aren’t necessarily correct. Otherwise, why do you think you have yet to figure out the secrets of the heaven and earth shackles?”

Sun Mu. “…”

“Brother Sun, he’s challenging you.”

“Brother Sun, he’s challenging you.”

“Brother Sun, he’s challenging you.”

“Brother Sun, he’s challenging you.”

Sun Mu retorted, “Perhaps, the ruler of the Great Void is a fierce beast. Humans may not like the harsh environment, but it doesn’t apply to fierce beasts. Apart from that, all those who have stumbled upon the Great Void have been captured. It’s only natural that we think no one has stumbled upon it.”

Si Wuya said confidently, “Even if the ruler of the Great Void is a fierce beast, there are definitely humans there. The former Tower Master of the White Tower Council, Lan Xihe, is one of them.”

Sun Mu was speechless.

Zhan Jin, Shan Huo, Su Shui, Liu Tu. “…”

Silence descended briefly on the Preservation Hall.

Si Wuya was confident in his deduction because he had spent a lot of time studying this matter. However, the biggest reason why he was so confident was the ancient goatskin map his master had given him. When he was in the Sky Martial Academy, he had tried to refine it with fire, burn it in a forging furnace, and destroy it with vital energy. In the process of unraveling its secrets, he discovered the map was seemingly indestructible. Most importantly, every once in a while, the map would continue to reveal itself. Most of what he had drawn was based on what the map had revealed so far.

“Well said!” Xiao Yunhe clapped his hands, breaking the awkward silence. He smiled and said, “Debates help people improve…”

“Debates also waste time,” Mingshi Yin countered.

“…”

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said to the five brothers, “If you really want to know how to get to the Great Void, why don’t you just ask Brother Lu?”

Xiao Yunhe was certain Lu Zhou was from the Great Void.

“…”

The five brothers looked as though they had been struck by lightning.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “I’m more inclined to Si Wuya’s deduction. However, Sun Mu’s words made sense as well.”

Xiao Yunhe gave Lu Zhou a thumbs-up inwardly. ‘How skilled! He managed to preserve the newcomers’ dignity and also agreed with his disciple’s deduction.”

Lu Zhou looked at the five brothers and said, “Since the five of you just entered the Evil Sky Pavilion, why don’t I let Guardian Meng fill you in about the Evil Sky Pavilion before you follow Old Seventh to deal with various matters. What do you think?”

Si Wuya cupped his fists at the five brothers.

Sun Wu did not look very convinced, but he still said, “We’ll follow Pavilion Master’s orders.”

“Alright, you may take your leave.”

The five brothers left the Preservation Hall and met Meng Changdong who was waiting for them outside.

Lu Zhou looked at Si Wuya and asked, “How certain are you about this map?”

Si Wuya said, “I’m 90% certain.”

“Alright.” Lu Zhou sat down cross-legged. “Those five are under your command.”

“Master… I’m afraid they…”

“I know what you mean. There are some things that can not be forced. Whether they stay or go is up to them. As long as they don’t do anything that harms the Evil Sky Pavilion, you don’t have to worry about anything else,” Lu Zhou said.

“I understand,” Si Wuya said before he left.

Following that, Mingshi Yin yawned and said, “I’m so sleepy. I’ll take my leave first.”

Finally, there were only Lu Zhou and Xiao Yunhe left in the Preservation Hall.

Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, “Brother Lu, you’re really amazing… Truly amazing…”

“You’re seriously injured. If you’re not treated, you’ll have to lie in bed for three months…” Lu Zhou said.

Xiao Yunhe, who understood the meaning behind these words, was overjoyed. He said, “Thank you, Brother Lu.”

Lu Zhou did not waste time and used the Heavenly Writing Power to heal more than half of Xiao Yunhe’s injuries.

Xiao Yunhe was extremely touched. “The best decision I’ve made in my life was to become friends with Brother Lu.”

Lu Zhou raised his hand and extended it in front of Xiao Yunhe.

Xiao Yunhe was confused. “?”

“Mystic microstones,” Lu Zhou said.

“This…”

“Treatment fee.”

“I…”
