My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 1570 Seventy Years

Wen Ruqing disliked people like Zhu Honggong who was simple and stupid. However, when he thought about Qi Sheng who was cunning, he felt a stronger wave of disgust. In the end, he thought he preferred Zhu Honggong more compared to Qi Sheng. After all, it was hard to control someone like Qi Sheng. As for Zhu Honggong, even if Zhu Honggong was incompetent, at least, Zhu Honggong would be easily controlled.

After Wen Ruqing left the Sacred Temple, Ming Xin looked in another direction and asked, “How are the Pillars of Destruction?”

“Your Majesty,” Hua Zhenghong replied, “Apart from the occasional strange movements at Dunzang, the nine Pillars of Destruction are stable. However…”

After a brief pause, Hua Zhenghong continued to say, “The pillars are getting older and older, and the restorative effect from the power of the earth is getting weaker. At this rate, the Great Void will only remain in the sky for another 200 years at most.”

Ming Xin nodded and sighed. He was not surprised by this.

At the same time, Zhu Honggong returned to his own residence after leaving the Sacred Temple.

Oon

As soon as Zhu Honggong returned, he saw Qi Sheng standing in the hall with his hands on his back as he looked at the patterns on the wall.

“What are you doing here?” Zhu Honggong did not have a good impression of the person in front of him.

Qi Sheng asked, “You don’t welcome me?”

Zhu Honggong scoffed and asked, “Is there a reason for me to welcome you?”

“You have the Great Void Seed. If you stay in the nine domains, it’ll be dangerous. You must know that the most dangerous place is the safest place. In this world, there’s no place safer than the Sacred Temple.”

“Whatever. Keep bragging if you want,” Zhu Honggong said as he rolled his eyes.

“This is also the best place to cultivate. You have to cultivate well. Don’t disappoint…” Qi Sheng paused briefly before he finally said, “Don’t disappoint the Great Emperor.”

“Mind your own business,” Zhu Honggong said.

Qi Sheng slowly raised his hand. Following that, a ball of golden flames blossomed into a red streak of light that shot toward Zhu Honggong like a dragon.

Zhu Honggong turned pale with fright and retreated in the air. A golden shield appeared as he blocked the attack with his upper arm. Then, he landed on the ground and retreated a few dozen yards, barely stabilizing himself. He rubbed his arms that stung from the burning flames and asked, “What do you think you’re doing?”

“We’re both owners of the Great Void Seeds, but you’re far behind me,” Qi Sheng said tonelessly as he lowered his hand. After placing his hands on his back, he continued to say, “The Sacred Temple doesn’t raise trash. Even if you have the Great Void Seed, if you’re trash, the Sacred Temple won’t hesitate to get rid of you.”

Zhu Honggong exclaimed in surprise, “You have the Great Void Seed as well?”

“Didn’t I just say so?” Qi Sheng chuckled.

Zhu Honggong looked at Qi Sheng and said, “Ten Great Void Seeds mature once every 30,000 years. The last ten seeds were…” He coughed, stopping himself from speaking. Then, he said, “Your seed is from the batch before the latest matured batch, right? It’s only natural that you’re stronger than me.”

Since Qi Sheng looked young, Zhu Honggong did not expect him to be an old antique. The people in the Great Void were all eccentric, he really had to be more cautious.

Qi Sheng was too lazy to explain. He only said, “That’s not my point.”

“Aren’t you just trying to scare me? How can the Sacred Temple get rid of a future supreme being?” Zhu Honggong said as he patted his chest, “I, Zhu Honggong, will definitely make everyone look at me in a new light!”

“I’m not trying to scare you,” Qi Sheng suddenly became very serious as he said with burning eyes, “The pillars are collapsing, and the Great Void is likely to fall within 200 years. At that time, chaos will descend on the world, and countless lives will be lost. Only the strong will be able to protect themselves.”

Zhu Honggong was stunned. He felt like his throat was a little dry. He had always been timid. He liked peace and did not like taking risks.

Qi Sheng was good at reading people’s expressions. When he saw Zhu Honggong’s expression, he laughed and said, “You have the Great Void Seed. As long as you work hard, you’ll definitely be safe.”

“You… You…” Zhu Honggong stutterd.

“What about me?” Qi Sheng asked in confusion.

“You sound just like my Seventh Senior Brother!” Zhu Honggong said with a frown. Then, he said irritably, “Whatever. I don’t believe you! Leave. I don’t welcome you here.”

Qi Sheng turned around and left with a smile on his face.

After Qi Sheng left, Wen Ruqing appeared nearby. It was not until Qi Sheng completely disappeared from sight that he walked into the hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he said in a low voice, “From today onward, I’ll personally supervise you. Within 200 years, you must become a Great Dao Saint.”

Zhu Honggong: “…”

Zhu Honggong truly hated this place. Everyone here was a scoundrel, and their words were really unpleasant. Regardless of his feelings, he was no longer as rash as he was in the past. Hence, he forced a smile on his face and said with a bow, “I’ll definitely live up to senior and the Great Emperor’s expectations!”

The Lost Land at the southern region of the Endless Ocean.

A huge palace stood at the peak of Lost Island. Red maple trees grew on the mountains and plains.

A man dressed in fine robes bowed and reported to the Scarlet Emperor. “Your Majesty, during this period of time, I’ve been observing the two owners of the Great Void Seeds. The spear wielder is very hardworking. He’s straightforward and a little stubborn. As for the other person…”

“Speak,” the Scarlet Emperor said when he sensed his subordinate’s hesitation.

“The other person only sleeps all day. He doesn’t do anything at all. Moreover, I’m afraid there’s something wrong with his character,” the finely-dressed man said.

“What do you mean?” The Scarlet Emperor frowned.

“He’s quite cunning. He likes to hide his thoughts and has no principles.”

“He’s still quite young, after all. Keep an eye on him and teach him when he needed,” the Scarlet Emperor said.

“This…” The man looked troubled. It was not that he never tried educating the other party before, but it was useless. Finally, he said, “I’m afraid I’m not capable of educating him.”

The Scarlet Emperor’s expression stiffened as he said, “Try harder.”

“Understood.” The man no longer dared to complain.

The Scarlet Emperor sighed. “The imbalance is worsening. If the Great Void really collapses, the southern region won’t be able to escape unscathed.”

“Your Majesty, I’ve been too shortsighted. I’ll do my best with those two people. I’ll try to get them to comprehend the Great Dao within 100 years.”

…

Similar situations were happening in the other Lost Land of the Azure Emperor and the Lost Island of the White Emperor.

There were more and more signs that pointed to an unprecedented disaster in the cultivation world.

At the Great Abyss Land.

In the Pillar of Destruction guarded by the Feather tribe and the Deformed tribes.

Emperor Yu had announced he was going into seclusion to cultivate in order to become a divine emperor.

The death of Ming Ban, the divine lord, and Ming De was temporarily put on the backburner.

Among the Five Emperors, only the Black Emperor did not obtain the Great Void Seeds. Hence, he often provoked the Azure Emperor, the Scarlet Emperor, and the Great Emperor. With this, the Great Void was granted temporary peace.

For a while, nothing special happened in the Great Void.

Duanmu Dian chose to return to the Great Void and frequently visited Shang Zhang Hall and the Sacred Temple.

Another 70 years passed by in just a blink of an eye.

Time was meaningless in the cultivation world.

Shang Zhang Hall in the Great Void.

A graceful girl in red and a cute bright-eyed girl walked together to see Shang Zhang.

Over the past 70 years, the two girls’ relationships with the people of Shang Zhang Hall had been quite harmonious. Apart from cultivating every day, there were also teachers who taught them many things. Although there were people from other halls who warned them that Shang Zhang Hall was trying to brainwash and fool them, they did not take those words to heart.

In the main hall.

“Why do you want to see me?” Shang Zhang asked. When he looked at the two girls, he felt like he had watched his own children grow up. He had been very partial to them over the years.

Little Yuan’er said, “Master died 100 years ago. I want to go and pay my respect to my master.”

In the beginning, Shang Zhang would accompany them during their visits. However, as time passed, he became too lazy to do so. He would usually send someone to escort them to Dunzang on the anniversary of Little Yuan’er’s master death.

“Apart from this, I have another matter that I hope Your Majesty will agree to,” Little Yuan’er said.

Upon hearing this, Shang Zhang said, “Little girl, you’re becoming more and more brazen. Tell me, what is it?”

Little Yuan’er smiled. “I want to meet my senior brothers and senior sisters.”

“Senior brothers and senior sisters?” Shang Zhang nodded. Since she had a master, it was not surprising that she had fellow disciples. “You’ve been in the Great Void for 100 years, and yet, you still remember your fellow disciples. Very well. I’ll allow it.”

Shang Zhang waved his hand.

A figure appeared and cupped his fists at Little Yuan’er before he said, “I’ll bring them to the Great Void, and they can stay a few days.”

Little Yuan’er asked, “Can you do it?”

The figure said, “There’s nothing in the world that His Majesty cannot do in the mortal world.”
