Chapter 732: Arriving at the Red Lotus Domain

Although Lu Zhou was knowledgeable with his 1,000 years’ worth of memories and insight, he was still deeply awed by the colossal creature.

It called out again in low groans.

Little Yuan’er and Conch were still clinging onto each other tightly. Their eyes were brimming with awe as well.

One would always regret not being prepared after the fact. At this moment, Lu Zhou wondered if he should have brought Si Wuya along. If Si Wuya were here, Si Wuya could have helped him identify this oceanic beast. Why did he bring two inexperienced young girls?

The Six Compatible Seal faded away. The mist around them gathered around them and obscured their visions.

Little Yuan’er released her energy to cover the miniature Sky Chariot. At the very least, the view in their direct vicinity was clear.

The sounds of the waves, the groans, and snapping jaws continued to ring in their ears.

“Survival of the fittest. That’s the unchanging truth of nature.”

Big fish preyed on smaller fish while smaller fish preyed on krill.

Lu Zhou piloted the Sky Chariot and sped forward.

Splash!

Lu Zhou unleashed his Six Compatible Seal again.

The circle spread outward.

Lu Zhou looked down.

Around the colossal creature, there were various oceanic beasts engaging in a battle royale.

‘It’s not a whale? It looks nowhere close to a whale at all.’

In comparison, those other beasts would not even be enough to fill the gaps between this colossal creature’s teeth. Humans were too insignificant to mention before the beasts as well.

Hundreds and thousands of beasts leaped into the air, stirring up huge waves.

“They can even manage short flights,” Lu Zhou said in amazement.

Some of the oceanic beasts could leap so high it was almost as if they could fly. It was when they leaped up that they noticed the Sky Chariot cutting its way across the mist. Many of them tried to ram against the Sky Chariot.

At this moment, the colossal beast leaped up and a rainbow arc streaked across the air.

Lu Zhou flipped his palm. A Deadly Strike Card appeared in his hand. Up until now, this card had never failed him. ‘Can this card kill this colossal beast?’

While he was hesitating, Lu Zhou heard a string of notifications from the system.

“Not suggested to kill this target. Killing this target will deplete the system’s energy and it won’t be able to recover. Killing it will lead to various unpredictable outcomes.”

‘Unpredictable outcomes? Does this mean that I can’t kill this beast?’

The colossal beast and the other oceanic beasts around it were the obstacles that stood between the red lotus domain and the golden lotus domain.

If he killed this creature, the red lotus would be able to invade the golden lotus domain much more easily. However, Lu Zhou did not know if this was the unpredictable outcome the system was referring to.

Moreover, if more beasts were attracted to the area after he killed this colossal beast, it would spell great trouble for him. He only had two Deadly Strike Cards. It was not wise to poke a hornet’s nest.

As he pondered on this matter, the mist gathered around them seemed to grow denser. Their vision was once again obscured.

Lu Zhou’s thoughts snapped back to the present, and he withdrew his item card.

Lu Zhou brought the Sky Chariot higher to avoid those oceanic beasts that could almost fly.

The Sky Chariot kept climbing until it was at the highest point possible. The Primal Qi was extremely thin here.

He sent a palm strike down. The palm seal parted the mist and dropped down.

At this moment, the deep groans of the beast rang from behind them.

With this, the Sky Chariot was finally out of the colossal beast’s range…

Although a Nine-leaf cultivator was powerful, he was too insignificant to mention in the face of this colossal beast.

There were truly all kinds of wonders in the big wide world. The expanse of the sky and lands were extolled, and the brightness of the sun and the moon were praised.

If it were not for this Sky Chariot and his Nine-leaf cultivation base, he would not have the chance to see this colossal creature at all.

“The mist is gone.”

The Sky Chariot finally emerged from the mist. However, they were presented with a new challenge.

Bolts of lightning flashed in the sky accompanied by deafening claps of thunder. Strangely, there were no clouds in sight.

Soon after, the sun set, and darkness fell.

Lu Zhou had a firm grip on the helm as his energy wrapped around the Sky Chariot.

The Sky Chariot could not be damaged. If it was, Lu Zhou would have to carry his two disciples as he flew. Humans could hardly maintain flight at this height. Flying at a low altitude would also be dangerous since they risked running into oceanic beasts.

…

The Sky Chariot flew in the turbulent wing as the lightning bolts flashed for three days.

If Lu Zhou did not have a profound cultivation base and could not shield the chariot with his energy during the past three days, the Sky Chariot would have fallen apart a long time ago.

After difficult weather passed, the Sky Chariot was now flying in clear sky with nary a cloud in sight with the sea below it.

The sun that hung proudly in the sky shone on the Sky Chariot, seemingly able to clear away the heaving feelings in its passengers’ hearts.

At this moment, Little Yuan’er volunteered to man the helm. “Master, allow me.”

Lu Zhou allowed her to do it. With his cultivation base, he would have no problem with maintaining the Sky Chariot’s flight for a long time. However, the mental strain made him feel slightly numb.

Lu Zhou stepped aside, sat down, and closed his eyes.

“Master… How far away is the red lotus domain?” Little Yuan’er asked as she steered the Sky Chariot.

“I don’t know,” Lu Zhou replied.

“Will the red lotus domain be as beautiful as Great Yan?”

“I don’t know,” Lu Zhou replied.

Little Yuan’er looked ahead and asked, “Junior Sister Conch, do you know?”

“It’s as beautiful as Great Yan,” said Conch.

“I nearly forgot… You’re cultivating the red lotus, and you’re from the red lotus domain. In that case, do you still remember what the red lotus domain looks like?” Little Yuan’er asked.

Although they could not see the shoreline yet, it was much more comfortable flying in such conditions compared to flying in the mist or in the dark.

“I… I don’t remember,” Conch replied timidly as she looked at the vast ocean and endless clear sky.

“Don’t worry… I’m here. If anyone were to bully you, I’ll stand up for you. Moreover, master is here as well. He’ll stand up for you!” Little Yuan’er said.

“Thank you, Ninth Senior Sister.”

The two young girls continued chatting merrily.

…

The Sky Chariot continued flying for another three days.

When the sun was once again halfway out of the horizon, Little Yuan’er had completely lost all sense of direction. In her opinion, the spot from which the sun was rising was east. The shoreline would surely be somewhere where the sun was.

Little Yuan’er squinted. She placed her hand on her forehead and looked ahead.

At this moment, Conch woke up. When she saw Little Yuan’er seemed slightly tired, she said, “Ninth Senior Sister, I can take over.”

“Mhm.” Little Yuan’er stepped aside.

When Conch took over, the Sky Chariot suddenly dropped!

Swoosh!

The intense swaying and rocking woke Lu Zhou up from his meditative state. He placed his hand on the deck as rich energy appeared around the Sky Chariot like a huge bubble before it finally stabilized in midair.

Little Yuan’er started. She patted her chest.

Conch said apologetically, “I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose…”

“Channel your Primal Qi into the helm,” Lu Zhou said.

“Oh.” Conch’s Primal Qi surged.

Lu Zhou retracted his own Primal Qi; the energy around the Sky Chariot disappeared.

Conch displayed her stunning and quick ability to learn. In the beginning, the flight of the chariot was unstable. However, she quickly mastered the technique to pilot the chariot. After a while, it was as though she had flown the chariot countless times before.

“What’s that?” Little Yuan’er pointed at a black spot on the horizon.

Lu Zhou had been resting for a few days. He was refreshed. He stood beside the helm and looked down.

“A beast.”

There was a huge horde of oceanic beasts. They were like ants on land. Then, these oceanic beasts leaped into the air toward the Sky Chariot.

“Master…” Little Yuan’er’s expression changed.

“There’s no need to worry,” Lu Zhou glanced at the beasts and said, “Fly higher.”

The Sky Chariot rose.

The beasts were getting closer. Some of them were as big as elephants.

Conch took the conch from her waist and blew on it as she piloted the Sky Chariot. With the help of her Primal Qi, the sound from the conch spread downward.

Countless oceanic beasts dropped back down into the sea, creating splashes. Then… all of them leaped out of the sea in unison, drawing a breathtaking arc in the air before they dove down again.

“You can control them?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Master, I merely greeted them. They bear no ill will.”

Lu Zhou nodded and looked ahead.

The sun was high in the sky.

“Master, the red runes on the helm are shining brighter now,” Conch said after she saw the changes in the red runes.

Lu Zhou turned to look at the runes before moving his gaze up ahead again. The coastline… had finally appeared. It looked like a thin black line that gradually grew thicker as they moved forward.
