Chapter 1441: A Hundred Years of Spring and Autumn

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The people from the Evil Sky Pavilion felt as though they had entered a new world when they saw the various strange fierce beasts in front of them. All of them silently admired the sight before then.

Due to the high number of fierce beasts, even Kong Wen, who was the most knowledgeable about fierce beasts among them, had a hard time distinguishing them.

At this time, Jiang Dongshan said, “This place is very dangerous. The terrain is rough. Trees and vines grow wildly in this place. Apart from that, there are so many kinds of fierce beasts here that even experts in fierce beasts won’t be able to identify all of them.”

Little Yuan’er muttered under her breath, “You only say that because you’ve never met Seventh Senior Brother.”

Jiang Dongxu looked at the beautiful Little Yuan’er and said with a smile, “And you only say that because you don’t know much about Zhixu.”

“There’s no need for me to know Zhixu. All I know is my Seventh Senior Brother was the most knowledgeable,” Little Yuan‘er retorted.

Jiang Dongshan felt like there was no way to communicate with Little Yuan‘er. Brain-dead fans were very unreasonable, after all. Naturally, he did not verbalize his thoughts. He looked at Lu Zhou, thinking that Lu Zhou would say something reasonable.

Contrary to Jiang Dongshan’s expectations, Lu Zhou said with a nod, “Indeed. If Old Seventh were here, he’d be able to identify all the fierce beasts here.”

Jiang Dongshan swallowed the words that hung at the tip of his tongue.

Meng Changdong let out a long sigh and said, “That’s right. Not only was Mr. Seventh knowledgeable, but he even had a photographic memory. There’s no doubt he’s the most knowledgeable person I’ve met in my life. It’s a pity that the heavens are jealous of the talented!”

Jiang Dongshan caught the meaning behind Meng Changdong’s last sentence and did not dare to say anything.

‘When everyone was still lamenting Si Wuya’s early death, Lu Zhou said, “So Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction is completely covered in vines…”

“That’s right. Across from the pillar, there’s a cemetery that spans ten miles. That’s where the Dark Prince is. It’s said that he can control fierce beasts. To go to the pillar, we’ll have to face him,” Jiang Dongshan said.

“Have you been here before?” Lu Zhou asked.

Jiang Dongshan nodded.

Lu Zhou did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he called out, “Lu Wu.”

Lu Wu flew out toward the fierce beasts.

In just a moment, countless fierce beasts scattered, fleeing.

Boom!

When Lu Wu landed on the ground, more than 100 fierce beasts fled again. Then, it raised its head to the sky and let out a thunderous roar.

Soundwaves swept out in all directions. The might of a beast emperor caused the other fierce beasts to turn tail and run.

“This…” Jiang Dongshan was stunned.

Before Jiang Dongshan could recover from his shock, Lu Zhou flew toward Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction with nimble movements.

The others followed suit immediately.

As they advanced, Lu Wu continued chasing the fierce beasts away.

All of a sudden, Ying Zhao let out a few panicked cries.

Zhao Yue patted Ying Zhao’s head before she turned to Conch and asked in confusion, “What is it saying?”

Conch said, “It told us to not let our guards down. There might be divine ancient beasts from the Great Void.”

Jiang Dongshan said, “There won’t be divine ancient beasts, but there might be divine beasts.”

Lu Zhou came to a halt. He looked at the vine-covered Pillar of Destruction and asked, “Why are you so sure?”

Jiang Dongshan said, “The Dark Prince’s aura can control 10,000 fierce beasts. When he was alive, he was known as the God of 10,000 fierce beasts. After he died, he was buried in Zhixu. Divine ancient beasts will usually give this place a wide berth.” Then, he looked at Lu Wu before he continued to say,

“It’s just like how other fierce beasts will stay away from Lu Wu, a beast emperor. A mountain can’t accommodate two tigers, after all.”

Everyone nodded. The explanation was very reasonable.

Then, they began to move forward again.

Lush forests of ancient trees seemed to cover the ground.

‘When they descended and walked on foot through the forest, they saw some trees with leaves that were bigger than an adult human.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the vines on some ancient trees began to slither out like giant snakes.

“Damn it! The trees are about to come to life!” Mingshi Yin exclaimed as he pointed at the slithering vines.

No, it’s impossible for the trees to come to life. It’s just the effect of the formation,” Jiang Dongshan replied.

Lu Zhou flew off Whitzard’s back and hovered above everyone. Then, he brought out the Golden Taixu Mirror and shone it in front of him.

“The Golden Taixu Mirror?” Jiang Dongshan exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Zhou looked down and asked, “You recognize the mirror?”

“The Golden Taixu Mirror belongs to the Great Void. It’s said to be an ordinary item, but your mirror is clearly extraordinary,” Jiang Dongshan said.

Lu Zhou thought to himself, “That’s only natural considering how many times it’s been upgraded.’

Then, Lu Zhou asked with a slight frown, “It belongs to the Great Void?”

Jiang Dongshan hastily said, “Obviously, it belongs to senior now. What I meant to say is that it came from the Great Void.”

Lu Zhou no longer responded to Jiang Dongshan.

Everyone continued to move at high speed. With the Golden Taixu Mirror, they easily avoided the traps and saw the formations.

Meng Changdong looked to the left and right before he said with a slight frown, “The formation is powered by the mountains and the rivers and created with the things here, how incredible. It’s like we’re walking in a huge formation.”

The golden light from the Golden Taixu mirror revealed the bones and muscles of the mountains and rivers.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongfu called out, “Pavilion Master!”

“speak.”

“Be careful of illusory formations,” Zhao Hongfu said.

Lu Zhou stopped moving and shone the Golden Taixu Mirror around.

With the Golden Taixu Mirror, everyone saw light blue mist swirling between the trees up ahead.

This reminded them of the barrier in the Evil Sky Pavilion. This illusory formation was like a barrier.

Everyone slowed down and moved through the forest carefully. They walked for a long time, but it seemed like they were not any closer to the Pillar of Destruction. It was as though they would never be able to leave the forest. When they flew up, the scenery was the same; the Pillar of Destruction stood

up ahead while the forest that seemed to stretch endlessly was below them. The blue mist swirling around the trees made the forest look out of this world.

“Stop.” Lu Zhou raised his hand.

“Master, what’s wrong?”

Lu Zhou looked at his system interface. His lifespan was decreasing. Initially, he thought it was the formation that was sucking his lifespan away. He checked the life force in the Pillar of Impermanence and found that it did not decrease.

Finally, Lu Zhou calmly said, “We’ve walked into an ancient time formation.”

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang Dongshan frowned. “An ancient time formation?”

Then, Jiang Dongshan flew up.

Upon seeing this, Mingshi Yin shouted, “You brought us into a trap, and yet, you still want to leave?!”

Whoosh!

Mingshi Yin chased after Jiang Dongshan on Qiong Qi’s back.

Jiang Dongshan turned around and said, “I’m just going to have a look at our surroundings. I’m not trying to leave.”

“I don’t believe you,” Mingshi Yin said.

Jiang Dongshan came to a stop and looked around.

They had been flying for a long time, but they had been circling the same place.

Jiang Dongshan lowered his altitude before he said with a solemn expression, “It’s not just an ancient time formation. We’re also in an ancient space formation.”

Meng Changdong exclaimed, “An ancient space formation?!”

Jiang Dongshan shook his head and said, “I told you not to come to this place.”

“In the end, didn’t you still agree to lead us here?” Mingshi Yin retorted with a frown on his face.

“L…” Jiang Dongshan wanted to explain but felt it was meaningless. In the end, he only said, “We have to find a way to leave this place.”

Mingshi Yin said helplessly, “Great. We managed to avoid the illusory formation, but we still couldn’t avoid the ancient formations.”

Seeing that Lu Zhou did not speak, looking as though he was deep in thought, everyone looked around.

Yu Zhenghai flew into the air on Bi An’s back to the left while Yu Shangrong flew to the right on Ji Liang’s back.

Lu Zhou looked at his lifespan again before he said, “The flow of time here is about 100 times faster.”

“100 times?”

“This is different from the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence. In other words, if we spend a year in here, when we leave, 100 years would have passed outside,” Lu Zhou said lightly.

Everyone was surprised. Let alone 100 years, things could change greatly in just ten years.

Little Yuan’er said, aggrieved, “Master, we have to find a way to leave this place. I don’t want to grow old.”

Among the people present, Little Yuan’er had the least right to speak about this matter. Her cultivation improved the fastest, and she had the most lifespan. Even if all of them died of old age, it still would not be her turn yet.

Mingshi Yin turned around and grabbed Jiang Dongshan as he said, “It was you who led us here. Don’t you have any idea?”

Jiang Dongshan said, “I’m also in the formation!”

Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, “Enough.”

Mingshi Yin let go of Jiang Dongshan.

Lu Zhou brought out the Golden Taixu Mirror again and imbued it with the divine power.

Buzz!

The golden light shone in all directions.

There were spider-like patterns on the forest, the mountains, the grounds, the three, the vines, and in the air. Every leaf, flower, and blade of grass was inscribed with exquisite inscriptions.

Meng Changdong kept shaking his head when he saw this. “This formation is beyond my understanding…”

The Golden Taixu Mirror could only reveal the truth, it could not break formations.

At this moment, Yu Shangrong said with a faint smile, “It’s precisely because of the ancient time and space formation that the vitality energy here is unprecedentedly rich. This is, in fact, a perfect place for cultivation.”

“That’s right!” Zhu Honggong clapped his hands and said, “Cultivating here for a day is like cultivating for 100 days.”

Apart from being dark, the environment here was not too bad. It was much better than the desert and some of the dark and damp places they had been before.

Ye Tianxin looked up and asked, “Second Senior Brother, aren’t you worried about your lifespan?”

Yu Shangrong gently patted Ji Liang’s back before he leaped down.

Ji Liang neighed twice as he circled the air. Then, its body burst forth with light before vitality energy began to surge into Yu Shangrong’s body.

This went on for about half an hour.

“W-what’s happening?” Zhu Honggong asked.

Kong Wen replied, “It’s replenishing Mr. Second’s lifespan.”

“Replenishing lifespan?”

“Every top fierce beast has a special ability. Humans harvest life hearts from them in order to obtain those abilities. Ji Liang’s ability is to replenish lifespan,” Kong Wen explained.

Yu Shangrong nodded. “That’s right.”

Each time Ji Liang replenished Yu Shangrong’s lifespan, he would have an additional 100 years of life.

The Noblemen had a short lifespan to begin with. Thinking about it, Yu Shangrong and Ji Liang were truly a perfect match.

Initially, everyone was filled with worries, but now, they were growing more and more excited.

Lu Zhou asked, “Do all of you want to cultivate here?”

“Master, we’ll leave the decision up to you,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou nodded. “The combination of the ancient time and space formations is much stronger than the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence. This is indeed a rare opportunity. Nonetheless, we still have to think of a way to break the formations.”

“Pavilion Master is right. We cant still stay here after 100 years have passed,” Meng Changdong said. Then, he looked at Zhao Hongfu before he continued to say, “Miss Zhao and I will study the formations.”

“Alright. No one’s allowed to wander too far away,” Lu Zhou said.

“Understood.”

Everyone bowed in unison.

Time flew by.

At this moment, a large number of silver-armored guards appeared on a mountain peak south of Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction.

“The fierce beasts have been disturbed near Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction. Someone must have broken in.”

“They must have broken into the ancient formations.”

“Should we get rid of them?”

“No need. Even the Dao Saints won’t be able to easily deal with the ancient formations. I’m afraid the trespassers won’t be able to leave for a long time. Report this to the hall. Moreover, we’re not 100% certain that’s the case. It’s better to be careful. During the time of imbalance, we have to guard the Pillars

of Destruction well.”

“Understood.”

A period of peace dawned on the Unknown Land.

After the 3,000 silver-armored guards lost a group of people, they began to search everywhere.

The black-armored guards from the Xuanyi Palace also searched everywhere.

In order to protect the Pillars of Destruction, the cultivators of the Great Void had also formed a team to patrol the Unknown Land for ten years.

Ten years later.

In Xihe Hall.

Aray of sunlight and moonlight shot into the sky.

The Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel shone in the sky.

Many blue-clad female attendants rushed over from all directions and kneeled on the ground.

“Congratulations, master!”

“Congratulations, master, for becoming a Great Dao Saint.”

Lan Xihe flashed and appeared in front of the hall. Her facial features were exquisite, and her expression was as cold as ever. She swept her gaze across the crowd before she said, “Rise.”

Everyone rose to their feet.

‘When the Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel flew back, a translucent figure with white air appeared in the sky.

“Xihe, you’ve finally become a Great Dao Saint. Congratulations,” the old man said.

“Thank you, Mr. Ouyang,” Lan Xihe said with a nod.

“You have to continue to cultivate diligently. You have the Great Void Seed and will definitely become a supreme being in the future. You mustn’t waste your talent,” Ouyang Ziyun said.

Lan Xihe nodded. She changed the topic and asked, “What’s the situation like in the Unknown Land?”

Ouyang Ziyun said, “The imbalance is still ongoing. The Sacred Hall has sent 3,000 silver-armored guards, and the Xuanyi Palace has sent 3,000 black-armored guards to guard the Pillars of Destruction. So far, everything is rather peaceful.”

At this time, a female attendant said, “Indeed, the past ten years have been, but… but…”

“speak.”

“No one is in charge of the White Tower Council,” the female attendant said.

Lan Xihe frowned slightly. “Ye Tianxin has yet to return?”

The female attendant nodded.

Lan Xihe thought about Lu Zhou and said, “Perhaps, Pavilion Master Lu is still holding a grudge over the matter with the Halcyon Bird.”

The female attendant muttered, “It’s said that women hold grudges over everything. However, it seems like men can hold a grudge for a longer time…”

Lu Zhou furrowed her brows and said with a sigh, “Ultimately, I’m responsible for the matter with the Halcyon Bird. Pavilion Master Lu lost a disciple because of that matter. It’s natural that he dislikes me.” Then, she looked at Ouyang Ziyun and asked, “Mr. Ouyang, do you have any leads on Pavilion

Master Lu?”

Ouyang Ziyun shook his head. “There’s been no news for ten years.”

Inwardly, he thought to himself, ‘If this continues, it’s best that no one, including that shameless Jie Jin’an, finds him.’

Ouyang Ziyun looked at Lan Xihe and said, interrupting her thoughts, “These matters will be handled by the Sacred Hall. There’s no need to keep someone as insignificant as Ye Tianxin in your heart. You can just find another person to replace her. Moreover, I’m afraid the imbalance won’t be ending any

time soon.”

Lan Xihe nodded. “Alright. I’ll have to trouble Mr. Ouyang to help me to ask around.”

“Okay.”

“No, I don’t think so…”

With a flash, Ouyang Ziyun vanished from sight.

Near Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction.

Inside the ancient formations.

Lu Zhou had chosen the Nine Immense Mountain Scorpion King’s life heart to activate his 21st Birth Chart.

He sensed the Primal Qi in the air and smelled the fragrance of the flowers, plants, and trees in the surroundings as the sounds of a gurgling stream rang in the air. It was fleeting and moving. He felt the restlessness of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians as well.

Lu Zhou looked at his Birth Palace and chose to insert the life heart into the ‘Mark of Respect position.

The life heart with sharp edges that was as luminescent like the pearl sunk into the Birth Palace.

Lu Zhou sat cross-legged and observed the changes in his Birth Palace.

The time seems to be faster than 100 times the normal speed. It was much stronger than the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence.

He felt a splitting pain as his blood began to surge..
