My Disciples Are All Villains

chapter-1436
Jiang Dongshan was inwardly surprised. Those words implied that the other party was stronger than a Venerable Master. Moreover, based on the other party’s earlier attack, it was clear that the other party had held back. To be able to injure five Venerable Masters so easily, it was likely that the other
party was a Saint.
Jiang Dongshan bowed and Lu Zhou said, “Thank you for saving me, senior.”
Lu Zhou said, “There’s no need for that.”
‘Then, Lu Zhou flew over ina leisurely manner to the front of the group before leaping onto Whitzard’s back. When he lightly patted Whitzard’s side, Whitzard tumed around and spat out an orb of white light. With that, his divine power recovered swiftly.Subsequently, Lu Zhou used his Heavenly Writing power to sense his surroundings again. There was no movement at all. Had whatever it was left?
At this time, the black energy on the ground had vanished.
Lu Zhou tumed to Jiang Dongshan and asked, “You’re from the golden lotus domain?”
“That’s right,” Jiang Dongshan replied.
“When did you leave the golden lotus domain?”
“This…” Jiang Dongshan did not expect to be asked such a blunt question. In the end, he said, “I can’t remember clearly. I only remember it was chaotic at the time, and the imbalance was really bad.”
“Was this after the land split?”Jiang Dongshan sighed lightly and said, “A Saint can live to 100,000 years old while a Venerable Master can live until 30,000 years old.”
In other words, Jiang Dongshan was only a Venerable Master so how could it be at the time when the land just split.
Lu Zhou asked again, “The golden lotus domain had an eight-leaf limit previously. Logically, you can’t even sprout your ninth leaf, let alone become a Venerable Master.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dongshan chuckled and said, “That’s just a limit; it’s not like the shackles of heaven and earth. The golden lotus domain’s limit was nothing but a lack of lifespan to sprout the ninth leaf.”
“That’s right. How did you solve the problem?” Meng Changdong had a deep impression of this topic since he and Si Wuya had previously discussed it.
“Golden lotus cultivators didn’t have enough lifespan to sprout the ninth leaf, and they called it the heaven and earth shackles. However, this problem could be easily solved with enough life hearts. It was only difficult to find life hearts because there were no fierce beasts in the golden lotus domain due to
a lack of powerful cultivators. It then formed a vicious cycle. Hence… I found a second way.”
Everyone looked at Jiang Dongshan curiously.
Jiang Dongshan said awkwardly, “Assimilation.”
“Assimilation?”
“Back then, I mistakenly entered the Unknown Land and ended up in the black lotus domain. After assimilating with the people there, I managed to enter the Thousand Realms Whirling stage. Following that, I returned to the golden lotus domain to return to my original state,” Jiang Dongshan explained.
Zhu Honggong’s eyes widened as he said, “Amazing! Brother, even if my Seventh Senior Brother is still alive, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be as smart as you! What an amazing move!”
iang Dongshan said in confusion.
“I’s a personal habit. Don’t mind it. It’s a sign of friendship,” Zhu Honggong said as he patted Jiang Dongshan’s shoulder.
Jiang Dongshan’s bizarre story surprised everyone. No one expected him to break the limit in such a way.
Lu Zhou asked, “How many people like you are there in the Unknown Land?”
“I’ve met many of them, but I didn’t keep count. Alas, the Unknown Land is too vast. No matter how humans are here, they’re but a drop in the ocean,” Jiang Dongshan said before he sighed emotionally.
At this time, Lu Wu had already cleaned up the five silver-armored guards and returned to the front of the group.
Lu Zhou said, “Follow me.”
Lu Zhou rode on Whitzard and flew toward the entrance of the Pillar of Destruction.
Jiang Dongshan raised his hand and asked, “Senior, are you really going in?”
Lu Zhou did not turn around as he said, “There’s nothing for you to do here. You can leave now.”
Lu Zhou walked into the Pillar of Destruction without looking back.
The others turned to look at Jiang Dongshan. They did not stay for long and followed Lu Zhou inside.
Jiang Dongshan wanted to follow them in as well, but Lu Wu glared at him and said, “You can leave now.”
Jiang Dongshan cupped his fists at Lu Wu as he said, “We’re from the same hometown. There’s no need to make things difficult for each other. I’ll see everyone again.”
With just a flash, Jiang Dongshan disappeared from sight.
The interior of the Pillar of Destruction at Ping Dan was similar to the one in Ji Ming. There was no difference except that the blue barrier here was a little faint. Someone must have broken in here and caused a fluctuation in the barrier.
“Master, that Jiang Dongshan doesn’t seem to harbor ill intentions. Moreover, he came from the golden lotus domain as well. Why did you drive him away?” Yu Zhenghai asked.
“The human heart is unpredictable,” Lu Zhou calmly replied, “Moreover, there are many loopholes in his story. We have to be careful.”
“Loopholes?”
“He said he came from the golden lotus domain and entered the Unknown Land by mistake. Even Ye Tianxin had a difficult time in the Moonlight Woodland. How could he have entered the Unknown Land by mistake?” Lu Zhou asked.
Everyone nodded.
“Secondly, he’s been in the Unknown Land for a long time. His clothes are tattered, but how’s it possible for his face to remain so clean and delicate. He’s clearly not someone who has been through a lot of difficulties,” Lu Zhou said.
Zhu Honggong’s eyes widened as he gave Lu Zhou a thumbs-up and said, “Master is amazing and so observant! If master didn’t say this, I wouldn’t have thought about this at all. He’s a liar with ill intentions. I wonder what’s his purpose?”
“Enough.” Lu Zhou raised his hand and pointed at the barrier. “The silver-armored guards from the Great Void have already appeared. Time is limited. Try and obtain recognition from this pillar.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s interest was piqued again and was eager to give it a try.
“Let’s go.”
Yu Zhenghai took the lead and was the first to walk toward the barrier.
Everyone walked forward one after another.
One after another, they were bounced off.
Compared to the Pillar of Destruction at Ji Ming, the force from this barrier was much gentler.
Those who were repelled could only reveal helpless, regretful, and disappointed expressions on their faces.
Mingshi Yin who had been silently observing said, “Old Eighth, it’s your turn.”
Fear still lingered in Zhu Honggong’s heart from his experience in Ji Ming, He slowly approached the barrier and said, “If I get recognition from the pillar, my name will be read backward from now on!”
Swoosh!
Following that, Zhu Honggong stepped forward and entered the barrier.
“2
Zhu Honggong:
Zhu Honggong was most afraid of awkward silence. He thought he was hallucinating until he saw everyone’s eyes on him. He shuddered as he waved his hand repeatedly and said, “Hallucination! I must be hallucinating! How could it be me?”
There was no mistake. Zhu Honggong had indeed entered the barrier. Those who did not receive the Pillar of Destruction’s recognition stepped forward to congratulate him.
“Congratulations, Mr. Eighth!”
Mingshi Yin said with a grin, “Gonghong Zhu, congratulations on receiving the Pillar of Destruction’s recognition.”
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing these words.
Zhu Honggong frowned and said, “Fourth Senior Brother, there’s no need to change my name. I was just joking earlier.”
“Hmm, Gonghong Zhu indeed sounds unpleasant to the ears. From now on, I’ll call you Hong Zhu instead. Not only is it pleasant to the ears, it feels more intimate as well.”
Lu Zhou did not expect the process of recognition this time would be so smooth.
All of a sudden, a ball of black energy rose from the Great Void seedling.
“Be careful!”
Everyone was shocked.
The black energy rose from the Great Void soil.
Swoosh!
“Don’t panic.” Lu Zhou mobilized the divine power and entered the barrier. Then, he pressed his hand down, pressing the black energy down as well. Then, he grabbed four pieces of soil before he threw them out and said, “Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, Meng Changdong, Hua Yuexing…”
The four people were very excited. After catching the blue crystals, they said in unison, “Thank you, Pavilion Master.”
Lu Li who had the lowest limit for Birth Charts was especially excited. The blue crystal meant a lot to him.
Rumble!
Ahuge rock dropped down from above.
“Someone must have been in the barrier…”
Logically speaking, taking this amount of soil should not have caused such a huge reaction. It stood to reason that someone had already taken the soil before their arrival.
“Someone who obtained the recognition of the pillar as well?”
“A supreme being?”
Since three people from the Evil Sky Pavilion had obtained recognition from the Pillars of Destruction, it was not too hard to believe that there was someone else who had also obtained recognition.
“Supreme beings have no need for the soil so it’s unlikely. Besides, no one has seen a supreme being before. It’s unlikely for a supreme being to personally come here just to collect the Great Void soil,” Yan Zhenluo said, “Let’s not worry about this for now. We have to leave as soon as possible.”
Everyone nodded and agreed with Yan Zhenluo.
Zhu Honggong spread his arms and said, “I don’t feel anything.”
After gaining recognition from the Pillar of Destruction, should there not be a burst of power? Why was it different now?
“You don’t feel anything?” Mingshi Yin looked at Zhu Honggong in confusion.
After receiving the recognition of the Pillar of Destruction, the Great Void Seed in Zhu Honggong’s body should have been activated. How could there be no movement at all?
Kong Wen blindly speculated, “Perhaps, it has already recognized someone else?”
Zhu Honggong, who was originally very excited, felt as though he had fallen to the bottom in just an instant. He said, aggrieved, “How can this be?”
Rumble!
Another huge rock fell from above.
“Let’s go.”
Lu Zhou grabbed Zhu Honggong and flew out of the barrier.
Everyone flew out of the Pillar of Destruction together. When they arrived outside the pillar
Rumble!
A much louder rumbling noise that could shake heaven and earth rang in the air.
Everyone instinctively turned to look and saw a huge crack that started from the entrance on the pillar snaked up past the dark fog.
“This…”
Everyone was stunned speechless.
The four people who had just obtained the blue crystals suddenly felt as though they were holding onto hot potatoes. They felt rather conflicted.
“Is the sky going to collapse?”
The people from the Evil Sky Pavilion looked at the sky.
Lu Wu stared at the crack as well.
Zhu Honggong said anxiously, “This is bad. We’ve gone too far this time.”
“If the Pillars of Destruction are going to collapse just because we took some of the Great Void soil, then they’re truly too weak,” Mingshi Yin said.
“What do you mean, Mr. Fourth?”
“It’s obvious that some greater force is at play. Otherwise, why would the silver-armored guards coincidentally be here? Don’t tell me they have the power of foresight?” Mingshi Yin said.
“Mr. Fourth has a point.”
Crack!
The earth, mountains, and forests trembled as the air stilled.
With Ping Dan in the center, the tremors spread in all directions from hundreds of miles to hundreds of thousands of miles.
On the tip of the conical barrier in Ji Ming.
Princess Mulberry turned slightly and looked at the ring-shaped lake.
A slight ripple could be seen on the surface of the lake.
She sighed. “If we survive the disaster, I hope what’s in the sky will return to the world.
With that, she returned inside the ice barrier.
Blue electric bolts flashed around the Pillar of Destruction and repaired the crack in just a blink of an eye.
Everything returned to normal.
“This pillar… How can it be like this?”
“Is it even possible for humans to construct such a pillar?! I won’t believe it even if you beat me to death!” Zhu Honggong exclaimed.
Yan Zhenluo chimed in, “It’s indeed hard to believe.”
No one saw anything except for the bolt of lightning.
At this moment, Lu Zhou looked at the sky and said, “It’s time to go.”
Lu Zhou rode on Whitzard and flew into the sky.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The others quickly followed suit.
After the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion left, a figure appeared in the sky near the Pillar of Apocalypse.
The person muttered, “Is it you?”
The person stared at the Pillar of Destruction for a long time, unable to come to a conclusion.
At this moment, a figure that seemed to be made from rippling water appeared.
The person, who was hovering in the air, said respectfully, “Master.”
The figure asked, “Is it him?”
Jiang Dongshan replied, “I’m not sure. His attacks were ruthless and decisive. On the surface, he looks fierce, but in truth, he’s restrained. However, he didn’t attack me…” He shook his head and continued to say, “It doesn’t seem like it’s him…”
“Do you recognize the short and fat man who rode on Dang Kang?”
Jiang Dongshan shook his head and answered truthfully, “No.”
“He has great potential since he was recognized by the pillar. Follow them, and report back to me,” the figure said.
“But…” Jiang Dongshan hesitated.
“If you complete your task well, I’ll give you a true body.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Dongshan was overjoyed. He nodded and said, “Yes.”
‘When Jiang Dongshan flew away, the water-like figure vanished as well.
Under Kong Wen and Lu Wu’s lead, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion flew for half a month before entering an ancient forest.
Having long been accustomed to the darkness, they were no longer skittish when they entered the ancient forest.
“Pavilion Master, we’re flying in the right direction. If everything goes smoothly, we should arrive at the Pillar of Destruction in Shanyan in three months. Shanyan’s Pillar of Destruction is also the one closest to the periphery,” Kong Wen said.
“Alright.” Lu Zhou nodded. Then, he swept his gaze past everyone as he said, “There’s no rush to go to the Pillars of Destruction. I hope all of you will cultivate diligently during this period of time.”
Now that they obtained so many life hearts, cultivation resources, and blue crystals, everyone naturally could not wait to cultivate.
Lu Zhou brought out the Pillar of Impermanence and pushed it into the ground. Now that its spirituality had been awakened, he could further increase the speed. He could increase it 10,000 times faster, but the others would not be able to withstand it, and it would be detrimental to them.
“Alright, all of you may leave.”
Everyone bowed and left to look for places to cultivate.
Those who obtained the blue crystals absorbed the Great Void energy, causing those who had yet to obtain a blue crystal to feel envious.
After everyone left, Lu Zhou sat down cross-legged and let out a long sigh. “I didn’t expect to waste more than half a year just to travel to two Pillars of Destruction.”
It seemed like Fan Zhong was not lying back then when he said it took more than five years for him to cross the Unknown Land.
‘What they were doing now was only flying in a straight line at the periphery of the Unknown Land. If they went deeper, the time would be much longer.
Lu Zhou sensed the Pillar of Impermanence underground and felt the surging vitality energy in it. After a brief moment, he exclaimed in surprise, “30,000 years?”
This was not counting the years that it already possessed beforehand. It obtained 30,000 years just from the Void Chest tribesmen alone.
