After an unknown amount of time, the little Fire Phoenix finally returned to Little Yuan’er’s side.

Lu Wu lowered its head and said, “The Fire Phoenix is skilled at flying. It’s indeed a good choice for it to head to the Endless Ocean. The unlucky ones are the creatures on earth…”

“What do you mean?” Duanmu Sheng asked.

“Unlike humans, fierce beasts have a keen sense of danger. Whenever there’s an imbalance, fierce beasts will migrate to avoid the danger. If the sky really collapses, I’m afraid all the living things in the Unknown Land and the nine domains will suffer the most.”
Mingshi Yin asked, “Is this part of a purging plan?”

Yan Zhenluo shook his head. “The purging plan was just for the Black Tower Council to monopolize the red lotus domain. It was also, accidentally or not, a way to maintain the balance. However, when the imbalance first appeared, the Great Void did not do anything about it and decided to let it run its
course. To a certain extent, they’re hoping to wait out the unstable factors. However, now, the imbalance has worsened beyond the Great Void’s expectations. The land is splitting, and the sky is collapsing, In the end, the Great Void is the first to suffer, not us.”

Lu Zhou said, “There’s no need to think too much. When the time comes, we’ll naturally have a solution. I have always believed that men can conquer the heavens!”
Everyone was instantly influenced by Lu Zhou’s confidence.

The little Fire Phoenix that had been looking a little sad earlier after returning to Little Yuan‘er’s side looked as though its mood had improved. Then, it began to chirp happily around Little Yuan’er and Conch.
At this time, Lu Zhou asked Kong Wen, “During this time, were there any strange movements at Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction?”

“I’s been very quiet, Pavilion Master.”

“Alright, then let’s go.”

“Yes.”

The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion set off immediately. It would not take long to cover the distance of 100 miles.

The journey was smooth so far, and they did not encounter any powerful fierce beasts.

“Kong Wen, didn’t you say there are many powerful fierce beasts in the inner area?” Mingshi Yin asked.

Kong Wen nodded. “Yes. However, perhaps, they migrated due to the imbalance.”

Lu Zhou looked up at the sky.

As usual, the dark fog covered the sky. It was dark and gloomy. The damp and oppressive environment remained constant. There were many fierce beasts passing by, but none of them approached the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Even if there were, they were only low-level fierce beasts. As soon as they
saw Lu Wu and Cheng Huang, they would turn tail and flee.

After a while, Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction appeared before everyone’s eyes.
From the ruins to Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction, the journey was exceptionally smooth. They did not run into any cultivators at all. However, the smoother the journey was, the more Lu Zhou felt that something was amiss.

They had been to five Pillars of Destruction so far. Based on his experience, it was truly abnormal for their journey to be so smooth. The Great Void highly valued the Pillars of Destruction. Now that the 3,000 silver-armored guards had died, logically, they would send stronger cultivators to protect the
Pillars of Destruction. Unless there was something wrong with the mind of the person in charge, there was no reason for them not to send new people here.

“Stop.” Lu Zhou raised his hand. After observing the surroundings, he used the power of hearing, He heard the whispering wind and rustling from blades of grass before he heard a heavy thump near Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction as though something had fallen from a table.
“There’s movement.’

After Lu Zhou cut off his power of hearing, he said, “Those who haven’t been recognized by the pillars, come with me. The rest of you, stand by.”

“Master, are you worried there might be a trap?” Mingshi Yin asked.

Lu Zhou nodded.

“Then, apart from the disciples, there’s no need for the elders and the others to go to the pillar…” Mingshi Yin said.

“Why?” Little Yuan’er was puzzled.

“Do you want to know why?” Mingshi Yin asked as he swept his gaze across everyone.

Qin Naihe said, curious, “Mr. Fourth, please tell us the reason.”

They were all members of the Evil Sky Pavilion, after all. They should all have equal chances to be recognized by the Pillars of Destruction.

Mingshi Yin looked at Lu Zhou, seeking approval.

Lu Zhou nodded slightly.

Mingshi Yin placed his hand on his Dantian’s sea of Qi. A ball of light flashed in his abdomen before it disappeared.

Qin Naihe smiled. “We all know that Mr. Fourth has the Great Void Seed.”

Qin Naihe was rather speechless and confused inwardly. He did not understand why Mingshi Yin finally wanted to show off after such a long time had passed.
Following that, Duanmu Sheng did the same thing, showing his Great Void Seed.

Everyone was calm; they knew about this as well.

Subsequently, Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Zhao Yue, Ye Tianxin, Zhu Honggong, Little Yuan’er, and Conch did the same time.

With this, those who were not in the know were so shocked that they could not even close their mouths.

“This…”

They thought it was already impressive that a few disciples possessed the Great Void Seeds. Who could bear the shock of seeing nine Great Void Seeds consecutively?
As cultivators, how could they know about how amazing the Great Void Seeds were? Since ancient times, countless cultivators, including Saints, had sacrificed their lives just to obtain the Great Void Seeds.
Let alone nine, even one Great Void Seed was enough to start a war in the cultivation world.

“N-nine… Nine Great Void Seeds?!” Yuan Lang rubbed his temples, feeling a little dizzy. He felt like he was dreaming.

“To be precise, it used to be ten seeds,” Mingshi Yin said.

Qin Naihe asked, “How’s this possible?!”

“Nothing’s impossible,” Mingshi Yin replied.

“Ten Great Void Seeds were born at the ten Pillars of Destruction. More than 400 years ago, the cultivation world was in a bloody mess. The nine domains came up with all kinds of plans to go to the pillars. Let alone a cultivator, even the strongest force would have a hard time traveling to all ten pillars
and collecting all ten seeds,” Yuan Lang said in a daze.

This was simply too difficult to accept.
It would take many years to travel to all the ten Pillars of Destruction. By the time one arrived at the next pillar, the Great Void Seed would likely have been taken away.

No one could figure out how Lu Zhou alone managed to collect all ten Great Void Seeds. In their minds, there was only one word: impossible!

After a while, Yuan Lang suppressed the shock in his heart and said, “I understand Mr. Fourth’s meaning. You’re trying to say the biggest factor in obtaining the pillar’s recognition is the Great Void Seeds, right?”

“More or less. That’s not to say the special quality isn’t important,” Mingshi Yin said as he flicked his hair, “For example, I’m honest and kind so I easily obtained the pillar’s recognition. In fact, if you ask me, I think the Great Void Seed only played a small part when I was recognized.”
“Uh…” Yuan Lang averted his eyes. Nonetheless, the person in front of him was a future supreme being so he said, “Mr. Fourth is right.”

Lu Wu remained calm. It had known about this for a while now. It sat on its haunches and said, “Stay by my side. I’l protect everyone.”

‘What Lu Wu really meant to say was that those without the Great Void Seeds should not simply interfere since it was dangerous up ahead. It would be better to let the future supreme beings, who had yet to be recognized by Pillars of Destruction, explore the path ahead.

Everyone quickly put away their shocked expressions and bowed to Lu Zhou.

“Don’t bring your mounts.”

“Understood.”

Lu Zhou flew into the air, and Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Ye Tianxin, and Little Yuan’er followed closely behind.

As they flew over a forest, Little Yuan’er asked in a low voice, “Master, what if Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction belongs to Seventh Senior Brother?”
Lu Zhou was constantly on guard while they were flying. He said, “Then, we’ll leave.”

“Oh.”

Only Little Yuan’er alone dared to bring up this topic.

Yu Zhenghai said to his fellow disciples, “When we’re there, let’s hurry up. Don’t waste time.”

“Alright.” Little Yuan‘er nodded.

After a while, they finally arrived at Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction.

It was peaceful. There were no formations, fierce beasts, or cultivators.

Blood ginseng and mystic life grass grew everywhere.

Yu Shangrong drew the Longevity Sword and said, “This feels like the calm before the storm. Junior sisters, stay behind me. If anything happens, I’ll do my best to protect you.”
“Thank you, Second Senior Brother.”

Little Yuan’er and Ye Tianxin really moved to stand behind Yu Shangrong.

Yu Zhenghai:
They continued forward.

“We’re at the entrance of the pillar,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Lu Zhou took the lead and landed on the ground as the others followed closely behind him.

They walked over step by step.

With each step Lu Zhou took, drawing closer and closer to Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction, the sense of unease grew stronger.

‘When they were about 100 meters away from the entrance, a voice rang from the jungle to the left.

“Friends, please come over here so we can have a chat.”

Lu Zhou stopped in his tracks.

Being in the Unknown Land for so many years had made everyone very calm.

“Who are you?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Tm the guardian of the Pillar of Destruction. You’re not the first group of guests nor will you be the last. If you’re pleasing to the eyes, perhaps, I’l let you enter the pillar to look at the seed to satisfy your curiosity and greed. However, that’s all I’ll allow.”
The voice was gentle and did not hold any hostility at all.

Lu Zhou walked over.

As expected, there were no traps at all.

‘When Lu Zhou entered the forest, he saw a unique courtyard. It was not big. It looked like a cozy family house deep in the forest or mountains.

Aman who looked like he was in his 60s sat on a rocking chair in the courtyard. His eyes were closed as he rocked back and forth on the chair.

Lu Zhou flashed and appeared in front of the man.

The old man did not look at Lu Zhou as he said, “You’re here.”

“Are you a cultivator sent by the Great Void to protect the pillar?” Lu Zhou asked without beating around the bush.

“You can think that. I’ve been here for many years. Every time a guest comes, I’ll persuade them to leave,” the old man said.

“why?”

“It’s understandable for humans to covet the Great Void Seed or the Great Void soil. However, these things will only bring disaster. Moreover, I don’t like bloodshed. Saving a life is better than killing. If it were any guardian, you would’ve long fallen,” the old man said.
Yu Zhenghai scoffed coldly before he said, “The people of the Great Void are all pretentious. Do all of you think you’re invincible?”

The old man said, “The Great Void is indeed invincible.”

“Take this!” Yu Zhenghai said as he released an energy saber.

The old man continued to rock the chair. Without even looking, he said, “Interesting. It’s been a while since a Venerable Master came.”

Swoosh!

The old man flicked his sleeve lazily.

Yu Zhenghai’s energy saber vanished into thin air just like that.

“You’re a Saint?” Lu Zhou asked.

“You have a good eye,” the old man said as he continued rocking the chair, “Those who are anyone are all Saints. Those below the level of Saints are just ants. You can leave now. Remember not to go near the pillars in the future. At the very least, don’t go near Dunzhang’s pillar.”

“Why?” Lu Zhou continued to probe.

The old man pointed at the tombstone on the right and said, “If you approach it for the second time, you can only stay here with me forever.”

Lu Zhou nodded slightly and said, “I won’t leave so there’s no second time. I’ll give you a piece of advice.”
Creak! Creak! Cre-

The rocking came to an abrupt stop.

“It’s best if you don’t try to stop me,” Lu Zhou said before he turned around with a flick of his sleeve.

At this time, the old man finally opened his eyes. “I have no choice but to get rid of those who refuse to listen to my advice.”
Whoosh!

The old man disappeared from the rocking chair. In just a moment, he arrived next to Lu Zhou and pushed his hand out.

Lu Zhou had expected this so he took a step back and vanished into thin air, perfectly avoiding the attack.

The old man frowned. The man finally looked at Lu Zhou’s face, and he exclaimed, “It’s you?!”
However, Lu Zhou had already sent a palm seal toward the old man.

Boom!

The old man pushed his hand out.

Boom!

‘When the two palm seals collided, the backlash rippled to the north and south, spanning thousands of feet. It cut down everything that stood in its path.

The others from the Evil Sky Pavilion who were waiting in the distance rose to their feet one after another when they saw the commotion from the backlash. Their expressions turned grave immediately.
“Be on guard. The Pavilion Master must’ve encountered an enemy,” Yan Zhenluo said.

Everyone nodded as they looked at Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction.

The old man flipped back and did not continue to attack after he landed on his feet.

However, Lu Zhou flashed toward the old man and lifted his hand again.

“Wait,” the old man said.

“Even the Great Dao Saint Lan Xihe is respectful to me when she sees me. How dare you act impudently in front of me?” Another palm seal was already beginning to form on Lu Zhou’s hand.

“Lu Tiantong, that’s enough!” the old man said, annoyed,

“Hm?” Lu Zhou was briefly stunned. When he recovered, he said, “You recognized the wrong person.”

Then, a palm seal shot out. It was like a mountain and was imbued with the supreme power.

Lu Zhou already had 24 Birth Charrs now. As long as he passed his fourth Birth Trial, he would be a genuine Saint.

The old man did not expect his opponent to be so strong. He joined his palms together, and the space froze. Then, it was as though he forcefully tore a rift in the space as the palm seal suddenly vanished into thin air.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou’s four disciples watched in confusion. They did not know what had happened.

“Great Saint?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Would I be so confident if I’m not a Great Saint?” the old man grumbled, “That’s enough! Old geezer, I didn’t expect you to survive! Back then, when I dominated the black lotus domain, only you alone could suppress me. Have you forgotten?”

“Who are you?” Lu Zhou asked.

The old man:

The old man inhaled deeply before he walked in front of Lu Zhou. After studying Lu Zhou for a while, he said with a sigh, “I wasn’t mistaken. You’re Lu Tiantong.”
The old man raised his hand and was about to hug Lu Zhou when.

Lu Zhou retreated ten meters back and lifted his hand. “How can a Great Saint be so despicable? Take this!”

Whoosh!

A golden palm seal flew out.

At this moment, realization finally dawned on the old man. He frowned.. “Why is it golden?”
