Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong looked at Ye Tianxin, who seemed like she had been reborn, with anticipatory expressions on their faces. They could already imagine the scene when they comprehended the Great Dao. They did not care about the trembling earth or the disappearance of the upper core at all.
On the contrary, when the cultivators from Rou Zhao Hall saw the disappearance of the upper core, they were filled with sorrow and despair. This signified the decline of Rou Zhao Hall, after all. The disappearance of the upper core in Rou Zhao Hall meant that they were no longer able to rely on the upper core to provide Rou Zhao Hall with energy.
While the cultivators moved toward the place where the upper core used to be, Ye Tianxin hovered in the air.
The raging vitality energy gradually calmed down.
Although Ye Tianxin had already comprehended the Great Dao, it took another one and a half hours before she stabilized her cultivation.
During this time, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong stood unmoving, protecting Ye Tianxin.
The Great Void was vast. Just Rou Zhao Hall alone occupied tens of thousands of miles of land; the nine domains could hardly compare to the Sacred Temple and the ten halls, let alone the entire Great Void.
“Everyone from Rou Zhao Hall’s territory should be arriving soon,” Yu Zhenghai said.
Yu Shangrong nodded and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter since junior sister has already comprehended the Great Dao.”
Yu Zhenghai said, “What I mean is should we fight them or avoid a confrontation?”
“Eldest Senior Brother, you can decide. I’ll follow your decision,” Yu Shangrong said.
“I’m not as smart as you so you decide. Even when I was in the Nether Sect, I mostly listened to Seventh Junior Brother…”
As expected, cultivators flew toward the upper core from all directions. Not only were there experts from Rou Zhao Hall, but all ordinary cultivators from Rou Zhao Hall’s territory were here. Although their cultivation was like mud compared to the experts, they had numbers on their side.
If the Great Void collapsed, no one would be able to remain unaffected. At that time, chaos would descend on the world.
If the masses reacted, a river of blood would flow before they were suppressed and the world changed.
The Sacred Temple did not bother suppressing the masses because Ming Xin had already foreseen the outcome. Since the outcome had already been determined, there was no need to waste time and energy to change the unchangeable.
“Senior brothers,” Ye Tianxin called out with a joyful expression on her face, “I’ve already comprehended the Great Dao.”
Yu Zhenghai smiled. “Congratulations, junior sister.”
“Congratulations, junior sister,” Yu Shangrong echoed.
Ye Tianxin arrived in front of the duo in just a blink of an eye, surprising the duo. Then, she said, “Thank you for protecting me, senior brothers. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”
Indeed. Without Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, how could Yuan Zhi and the others from Rou Zhao Hall allow Ye Tianxin to comprehend the Great Dao so easily?
Yu Zhenghai asked, “How do you feel?”
Ye Tianxin thought about it for a moment before she said, “I can’t explain it although I understand it. It’s like being in the middle of the vast universe, feeling the vast and boundless greater world. There are no boundaries. I also feel like many things are within my grasp. For example, that mountain looks very far away, but it feels so close that I can easily touch it…”
Ye Tianxin raised her hand before a shocking scene appeared.
In just a blink of an eye, Ye Tianxin vanished into thin air and appeared next to the mountain. When she lowered her hand, she returned to her original position.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong exchanged a look. This was clearly a great law that only supreme beings could comprehend; the great law of space.
The duo felt envious.
Ye Tian looked at her hand in surprise; she did not expect this at all.
“Junior sister, you did well. You’ve just comprehended the Great Dao, but you’re already able to grasp the great law of space. Once you form your light disk, you’ll be a true supreme being,” Yu Zhenghai said.
“Thank you for your praise, senior brother,” Ye Tianxin, who was in a good mood, said, “It’s different for everyone when they enter the upper core. When I comprehended the Great Dao, many illusions appeared. Fortunately, they didn’t affect me. I didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.”
Yu Zhenghai nodded. “Do you remember the time we went to the Pillars of Destruction? The pillars all recognized a specific quality. These qualities will help us to solve difficult problems more easily when comprehending the Great Dao. You’re very persistent, you have a clear distinction between love and hate, and you have a strong will. Those illusions naturally wouldn’t affect you.”
Ye Tianxin beamed in joy from the praise. Her usually cold image had disappeared at this moment as she thanked Yu Zhenghai for the second time, “Thank you for your praise, senior brother. Senior brother, you’ll be even stronger than me once you comprehend the Great Dao.”
Yu Shangrong said, “Alright, let’s not flatter each other for now and focus on how to solve the problem before us…”
Yu Shangrong pointed at the large number of cultivators on the horizon who were drawing closer and closer.
Ye Tianxin, who had just comprehended the Great Dao, had exceptional eyesight now. She frowned as she looked at the cultivators and said, “It’s a pity that the sky is about to fall. There’s nothing we can do to stop it. They’re all innocent and hardworking people. Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, I think…”
The trio said in unison, “It’s best we leave.”
With that, the trio flew away like shooting stars.
The cultivators looked at the three streaks of light in the sky.
Someone shouted, “We can’t let her continue comprehending the Great Dao! The sky is about to fall! At that time, we’ll all die! We must protect the upper core!”
“The Sacred Temple and the ten halls lied to us! The commanders’ competition was just a trick to deceive us!”
“Charge!”
When the cultivators saw the destroyed upper core in Rou Zhao Hall, they grew even angrier.
“It’s over! The upper core is gone!”
“Rou Zhao Hall is doomed!”
“Without the upper core, how are we going to survive in the future?”
The Great Void was located up in the sky, and the upper cores, through the Pillars of Destruction, provided vitality energy, sustenance, and air to the Great Void. Without these, how could they survive?
The newcomers looked at the cultivators from Rou Zhao Hall. Some of them were injured to the point where they could not move.
Someone said, “These useless people from Rou Zhao Hall can’t even protect the upper core! Damn it!”
“Damn it!”
Chaos descended at the upper core immediately as a large number of cultivators pounced at the people from Rou Zhao Hall. They were desperate to change the situation and save themselves. Before that, they had to tear down the obstacles that stood in their way.
…
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and Ye Tianxin traveled through a runic passage and appeared in Zhu Yong Hall’s territory.
Yu Zhenghai said to Ye Tianxin, “According to Old Seventh’s deduction, you and Junior Sister Zhao Yue would have the most trouble comprehending the Great Dao. Your Second Senior Brother and I protected you; now, we’ll protect Junior Sister Zhao Yue.”
Ye Tianxin nodded. “No wonder you arrived at the right time. Then, what about… the Azure Emperor?”
“Initially, he planned to supervise us when we comprehend the Great Dao. However, he suddenly had a feeling that Pillars of Destruction would collapse as a result. Hence, he no longer cares aboutus comprehending the Great Dao…”
The Azure Emperor, the White Emperor, and the Scarlet Emperor had wanted to send them to the ten halls because they hoped to return to the Great Void. However, now the Great Void was about to fall, their return had become meaningless.
Ye Tianxin asked, “Then, how’s Third and Fourth Senior Brothers?”
“We’re not sure about the Scarlet Emperor’s stance. He brought both of them away, and we don’t know where they’ve gone. The two of them have yet to go to Xuanyi Palace and Qiang Yu Hall…” Yu Zhenghai replied.
Yu Shangrong said, “There’s no need to worry. The Scarlet Emperor won’t do anything out of line. Let’s follow the plan first.”
“Alright.”
With that, the trio rushed toward Zhu Yong Hall.
…
At the Evil Sky Pavilion’s Golden Court Mountain.
Lu Zhou, Jiang Aijian, and Bai Zhaoju appeared in the sky.
Bai Zhaoju looked around and enjoyed the scenery for a moment before he said, “What a good place. If the Lost Island becomes unsuitable for living, I should set up a place on the mountain next to this place so we can be neighbors. What do you think, Brother Ji?”
Jiang Aijian smiled and said, “You’ll regret it if you do that.”
“What do you mean…”
“With Senior Ji around, things will get chaotic… I mean, the mysterious phenomena will only disturb you,” Jiang Aijian said.
“You have a point.” Bai Zhaoju nodded. He knew what the Unholy One was like. The Unholy One liked to study the shackles of heaven and earth and sought eternal life. It was inevitable for there to be strange phenomena at the Evil Sky Pavilion. In the past, it was like that at Grand Mystic Mountain as well.
Lu Zhou said, “Let’s go.”
The trio descended.
Those in the southern pavilion who sensed the energy fluctuations rushed over immediately.
The first person the trio saw was Si Wuya, the seventh disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion. Si Wuya, who had recovered his health and cultivation, looked as scholarly as he did before. He was confident and a little arrogant. When he saw the trio, he bowed and said, “Greetings, master, White Emperor.”
Jiang Aijian pointed at himself and asked, “What about me?”
“You? Forget it,” Si Wuya said.
Jiang Aijian: “?”
Princess Yong Ning, who was standing behind Si Wuya, covered her mouth and laughed softly. Then, she bowed and said, “Greetings, Pavilion Master, White Emperor, and Third Brother.”
“It’s little sister who treats me the best, unlike some people who don’t respect their elders. Little sister, please take care of that annoying husband of yours!” Jiang Aijian said.
“…”
Si Wuya felt rather speechless.
On the contrary, those words caused Princess Yong Ning to blush in embarrassment. She hurriedly said in a low voice, “I’ll go and prepare tea for everyone.”
After saying that, Princess Yong Ning hurried away.
Bai Zhaoju laughed. Then, he walked up to Si Wuya and patted his shoulder. “I was wondering why you didn’t want to stay in the Lost Kingdom. It turns out you already have someone in your mind…”
Si Wuya only laughed and said, “I’ve let you see a joke, White Emperor.”
Lu Zhou glanced at his surroundings before he asked curiously, “Where’s Ling Guang?”
A hint of sadness appeared on Si Wuya’s face as he said, “He’s already left.”
Lu Zhou sighed, unsurprised, before he said, “He’s already completed his mission. From now on, you’re the Fire Deity.”
“Yes, master.”
This was Ling Guang’s will and also his master’s orders.
“How’s Li Yunzheng?” Jiang Aijian asked.
“He’s resting. He won’t be able to get out of bed for a while,” Si Wuya said.
Jiang Aijian sighed. “It’s fate…”
“He’ll be fine…” Si Wuya said. He raised his head to look at the sky before he continued to say, “Master, I received news that the Sacred Temple wants the owners of the Great Void Seeds to comprehend the Great Dao as soon as possible. I’m worried there’ll be changes…”
“You still have spies in the Great Void?” Lu Zhou asked.
Si Wuya smiled and said, “Great Saint Duanmu is still in the Sacred Temple. There’s also your old friend, Mr. Ouyang.”
Lu Zhou thought about the old man he had seen in the Cloud Domain and Xihe Hall before he nodded.
Si Wuya’s expression turned grave as he said, “The most important thing now is to warn the nine lotus domains about the possible invasion from the Great Void…”
Jiang Aijian was puzzled. “Why?”
“Early this morning, I suddenly thought of something,” Si Wuya said, “I studied the ancient goatskin map again. If the Great Void falls, the first to suffer will be the cultivators of the Great Void and the Unknown Land. There’s only one way for cultivators from the Great Void to survive…”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Aijian exclaimed in shock, “By invading and moving to the nine lotus domains?!”
“That’s right,” Si Wuya said, “Based on the general strength of cultivators from the Great Void, although cultivators from the nine lotus domains have improved greatly, they’re still no match for those from the Great Void. I’m afraid the nine lotus domains will suffer from the invasion…”
Bai Zhaoju’s expression turned grave as well. “If that happens, things are more serious than we imagined.”
“Do you have any good ideas?” Lu Zhou asked.
“The Sacred Temple is unwilling to step out to suppress the quell the masses. I’m afraid the temple has already predicted this. I’m afraid the battle ahead of us will have to depend on master and everyone else…”
In other words, the only people who could stand against the Sacred Temple and the Great Void were the Unholy One and his disciples who were racing against time to comprehend the Great Dao.
