Chapter 1758: Reincarnation

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Why did history have a tendency of repeating itself? It was due to human’s unchangeable nature.

Boom!

A thunderous noise rang from the upper core of Shanyan’s Pillar of Destruction like a warning to the world. Like the other upper cores of the Pillars of Destruction, cracks like lightning bolts began to appear.

This signified that Yu Zhenghai’s comprehension of the Great Dao had reached the critical stage. His process seemed to be a little more difficult compared to the others.

He felt as though he was in the dark and boundless galaxy of stars. At the same time, countless scenes flashed in his mind.

He could not see or touch anything. He had no control over his limbs as he floated in the vast universe, unable to find the shore.

Nonetheless, Yu Zhenghai’s spirits were high, and his determination had reached its peak. He knew he could only rely on himself to comprehend the Great Dao. His state of mind would determine if he could find the light in the darkness.

Soon enough, Yu Zhenghai saw what looked like meteors in the vast darkness. They were beautiful, but when they drew close to him, he felt a fatal threat and tried his best to resist. Alas, faced with absolute power, struggling was futile.

Boom!

A loud explosion rang from the upper core again, resounding through heaven and earth.

The sky shook as though the end of the world had arrived. Primal Qi wreaked havoc in the sky like dark clouds.

The two ancient lords, who saw this, laughed coldly.

“Look, Old Demon Ji. Open your eyes and look at the sky! Look at the earth! See if the end of the world has arrived!”

The pain of losing one’s cultivation was far more painful than death.

The two ancient lords looked at the dark and surging sky and felt comforted, feeling like death was near.

At the same time, Yu Shangrong, Zhao Yue, and Ye Tianxin only glanced at the two ancient lords briefly before looking away, ignoring them. The current ancient lords were no longer worthy of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s attention. They were just smelly rotten fish waiting for death.

Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and looked at the sky, not moving at all.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunderous noises continued to ring from the upper core. Then, the upper core suddenly exploded.

Yu Shangrong reacted quickly. He leaped up into the air, brandishing his sword. He moved like clouds and water as he deflected the debris and rubble that flew in the sky. His sword was swift, precise, and fierce.

Yu Shangrong, who had comprehended the great law of destruction, displayed an extremely powerful destructive power. The rocks were defenseless against his sword strikes.

When the dust finally settled, the Primal Qi storm in the sky stopped as well. The clouds dispersed, revealing light once again.

The light shone on Yu Zhenghai as he hovered in the air.

The two ancient lords instinctively raised their heads to look at Yu Zhenghai. Their eyes were filled with shock and confusion.

“He, he was recognized by the pillar, and he also comprehended the Great Dao? How?”

While the two ancient lords looked at Yu Zhenghai in a daze, Yu Zhenghai opened his eyes. He sensed the energy around him and felt the familiar feeling in his body. He muttered to himself, “I’m not dead? I came back to life?”

Yu Zhenghai moved his limbs. Everything was normal. The Jasper Saber was still hanging at his waist, and he could clearly see the blood vessels on his wrist. His body and soul were still the same.

“I’ve become stronger?” Yu Zhenghai looked at his hands in a daze before he looked at his surroundings and sensed their changes.

At this moment, Zhao Yue and Ye Tianxin bowed and said joyfully, “Congratulations, Eldest Senior Brother, on comprehending the Great Dao!”

After Yu Shangrong sheathed his sword, he smiled faintly and said, as taciturn as ever, “Congratulations.”

Yu Zhenghai regained his senses and looked at everyone. At the same time, the light on his body dissipated. He descended and landed in front of Lu Zhou. “Master.”

“How do you feel?” Lu Zhou asked.

Yu Zhenghai answered honestly, “I don’t know. I’m not sure what happened. I thought I failed to comprehend the Great Dao and died, but I came back to life.”

Then, Yu Zhenghai recounted everything he saw in the upper core to Lu Zhou. He spoke of the meteors he saw and their terrifying power. He recounted how he had been reduced to ashes by them.

“It’s like a dream, and yet, it’s so real. Could I have grasped the great law of dreams?” Yu Zhenghai asked.

Lu Zhou said, “There’s no great law of dreams. If I’m not mistaken, the law you grasped is reincarnation.”

“Reincarnation?”

The four disciples looked at each other.

Yu Zhenghai had experienced life and death in the upper core before he came back to life. The law he grasped likely had something to do with his characteristics as a member of the Wuqi clan.

“There’s life, and there’s death. From prosperity to decline, from decline to death. This is the natural law. If you master the great law of reincarnation, you might be able to overcome the natural law and become an immortal.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhenghai said happily, “Thank you for your explanation, master!”

Then, Yu Zhenghai did not forget to look at Yu Shangrong with an expression that seemed to say, “Look, isn’t this law better than your law of destruction?”

Yu Shangrong only smiled and did not say anything.

Lu Zhou continued to say, “It seems to me now that each of ten of you corresponds to a law. Perhaps, the ten great laws are the key to rebuilding the world.”

The four of them nodded.

Lu Zhou felt like it was about time so he said, “Since you’ve successfully comprehended the Great Dao, return and help Old Seventh and Old Eight to comprehend the Great Dao.”

“Understood.”

“Watch out for the people from the Sacred Temple, and avoid them. Perhaps, Ming Xin has been secretly monitoring us,” Lu Zhou said lightly.

“Don’t worry, master. The world is vast. How can he find us so easily? At worst, we can hide in the Sacred Region. Even the Scales of Justice won’t be able to find us. The Sacred Region alone is tens of times bigger than Great Yan. What can he do?”

Yu Shangrong said, “Eldest Senior Brother is right. However, we still have to be careful in everything we do. Since Ming Xin is allowing us to do as we please now, he must already have a countermeasure in place.”

“You’re right. Let’s go back and discuss this with Old Seventh,” Yu Zhenghai said.

At this moment, Lu Zhou said, “This is the Southern Split Mountain’s true fire. Those without karmic fire can use it to gain the karmic. Those with karmic fire can use it to refine their karmic fire into true fire. Old Fourth has already used it. Take it and use it well.”

The four disciples bowed and said, “Thank you, master!”

Then, Lu Zhou brought out two manuscripts and handed them to Yu Zhenghai before he continued to say, “Hand these two cultivation techniques to Old Seventh and Old Eighth.”

When Lu Zhou was cultivating in the abyss, he had obtained the Unholy One’s memories. Later on, as his blue avatar grew stronger, and he obtained the four power cores, the vague memories grew clearer and clearer. He vaguely guessed that the Ten Classics, which the Nihilist Congregation was searching for, should be the cultivation techniques that he had previously given his disciples.

Old First’s was the Great Dark Heaven Memorial and Water Dragon Song; Old Second’s was the Guiyan Sword Technique and Calm Disturbance; Old Third’s was the Divine One Technique and Breaking the Formation; Old Fourth’s was the Bluewood Heart Technique and Relentless Strike; Old Fifth’s was Brilliant Jade Technique and Acacia; Old Sixth’s was the Blue Wave Technique and the Butterfly Love Flower; Old Seventh’s was the Great Compassion Poem and the World Medallion; Old Eighth’s was the Nine Tribulations Thunderblast and the Eight Domineering Strikes; Old Ninth’s was the Supreme Purity Jade and Roaming in Spring; Old Tenth’s was the Pilgrim Song and the Returning Ballad.

The ten were complete.

“Yes, master,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“Go. Since master isn’t around, you have to shoulder the responsibility as the first disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion,” Lu Zhou said.

“Don’t worry, master,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Following that, the four disciples bade farewell to their master and left the upper core of Shanyan’s Pillar of Destruction.

Lu Zhou did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked toward the two ancient lords.

The two ancient lords trembled in fear.

Lu Zhou sighed and said, “The scariest thing in the world isn’t stupidity, but ignorance.”

Boom!

Lu Zhou stomped his feet, flying into the sky.

Cracks appeared on the ground from the huge impact. They spread from a radius of 300 feet to 3,000 feet and to 30,000 feet.

The two ancient lords looked at the cracks on the ground blankly and could not speak for a long time.

…

Lu Zhou did not go to Shang Zhang Hall.

Shang Zhang was the only divine emperor in the ten halls of the Great Void. With such a super bodyguard protecting Little Yuan’er and Conch, he felt rest assured. Moreover, the two girls were different from before. It was almost as difficult as ascending to the heavens to harm them.

His seventh disciple had inherited the legacy of the Fire Deity. It was not an exaggeration to say he had the strength of a supreme being. There was no need to worry about him, and everything would happen in due time.

Lu Zhou felt that what he needed to do next was to look for his third and fourth disciples and Chi Biaonu, the Scarlet Emperor.

Chi Biaonu disappeared after the end of the commanders’ competition and did not appear in the Great Void at all. Under normal circumstances, he would not leave easily after coming to the Great Void. Since he left, there was only one place he would go: Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction.

…

The situation at Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction was extremely chaotic. Since the pillar was about to collapse, it was naturally notpeaceful.

A large number of fierce beasts had escaped from Ji Ming, making the dark place look even more desolate. It looked like cold hell.

Mingshi Yin looked around and said, “It will completely collapse in three days at most…”

Duanmu Sheng frowned. “Will it affect the comprehension of the Great Dao?”

“Not immediately, but I don’t know for long it’ll last…” Mingshi Yin said.

At this moment, two figures appeared in front of the duo.

“The Scarlet Emperor invites both of you to the lakeside.”

Mingshi Yin felt rather speechless when he heard this. After a moment, he said, “Why should we be the ones to bear the consequences of his sins? Princess Mulberry obviously hates him to death. We can’t persuade her.”

“At least the two of you can still speak to her. She doesn’t even want to speak to His Majesty. If both of you refuse to help, you’ll have to stay in Ji Ming forever.”

Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng: “…”

Mingshi Yin rose to his feet and brushed the dust off his body before he looked at the conical ice that pierced the clouds. Then, he said, “Very well. I’ll try again.”

The duo flew toward the lakeside. They saw Chi Biaonu standing with his hands on his back as he looked at the quiet surface of the lake. He silently shifted his gaze to the towering ice barrier in the middle of the lake.

After leaving the Cloud Domain, they had come to Ji Ming. After more than half a month here, Princess Mulberry had yet to say a word to Chi Biaonu.

When Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng appeared behind Chi Biaonu, they greeted him.

“Greetings, Scarlet Emperor.”

Chi Biaonu did not turn around. He only said emotionally, “I’ve done many wrong things in my life, and this matter has always been a thorn in my heart.”

Mingshi Yin smiled. “Your Majesty, you hope to change her mind?”

The answer was obvious even if Chi Biaonu did not say it.

Mingshi Yin said, “Then, you have to stop putting on airs.”

“Putting on airs?”

“Your relationship with her isn’t good, to begin with, but you still put on airs. How could she listen to you?,” Mingshi Yin said earnestly, “In this world, there are parents who feel like they’re very busy, considering everything in the world, but they forget to consider their children. You have indeed made outstanding achievements and attained glory, but what does this have to do with her? To the people of the Southern Flaming Sea, you’re a wise and competent emperor. However, to your daughter, you’re not a qualified father.”

Chi Biaonu scoffed. “It’s easy for common people to only consider their family. However, in my position, I have to consider everything.”

Mingshi Yin spread his arms and said, “There you again. Please forgive me for being blunt, but if you continue being like this, even if the sky smashes her to death, she won’t leave with you!”

Chi Bianou was a little annoyed, but he could only say helplessly, “Alright, you don’t have to lecture me. Do you have any ideas? For the sake of my painstaking efforts to nurture you for 100 years, come up with an idea.”

Mingshi Yin sighed and said, “Then, you have to do as I say.”

“What do you mean?”

“When we reached the center of the lake, no matter what I say, you have to listen to me,” Mingshi Yin said.

“I have to listen to you?” Chi Biaonu’s eyes widened at the ridiculous idea.

Mingshi Yin looked at Chi Biaonu with an expression that said, “It’s up to you whether you agree or not.”

In the end, Chi Biaonu could only say, “Fine. I’ll trust you for now.”
