Chapter 1569 My Master is Invincible

Upon hearing Shang Zhang’s words, Little Yuan’er was visibly depressed. She did not want to believe that her master was dead. After seeing the Confinement Seal, her intuition told her that her master was alive. Even if everyone said her master was gone, she refused to believe it. Finally, she asked, “Can I visit my master often in the future?”

Shang Zhang nodded. “Of course.”

Shang Zhang naturally did not refuse Little Yuan’er’s request. He was very satisfied with her. He knew that Ming Xin also had two owners of the Great Void Seeds by his side; one of them was Qi Sheng. Although Qi Sheng had helped him to find Little Yuan’er and Conch, he did not like Qi Sheng. As for the other person, he had heard that he was rather silly. Strength and cultivation were important, but if that person was too silly, it was better not to have such a person by his side. In conclusion, he was very satisfied with Little Yuan’er and Conch.

The trio stayed near the abyss for a little longer before they finally returned to the Great Void.

After an unknown amount of time.

A figure appeared near the abyss.

“Hello, Brother Lu. I heard that you were affected by the battle between two supreme beings. Why did you go and join the battle?” As the figure spoke, he erected a tombstone next to the abyss. He carefully carved a few words on the tombstone. It read: The tomb of my good friend, Lu Tiantong.

“I was guarding the pillar at that time. I couldn’t even protect myself; how could I have saved you? Moreover, I didn’t even know you were there.”

Then, the figure brought out a stack of incense paper to be used as burnt offerings and lit them up next to the tombstone as he said, “This is all I can do for you. You’re the first person to make me sad twice. Don’t worry. I’ll think of a way to look after your disciple.”

“After a period of time, I’ll return to the Great Void. In a way, your disciples are really lucky they didn’t fall into the hands of Yan Feng Hall and Xuan Meng Halls.”

“You have lived a life worthy of respect for nurturing so many Saints. It’s enough for your name to be immortalized.”

“Rest in peace.”

The last words were spoken slowly.

The figure rose to his feet and stared at the words on the tombstone quietly.

When the incense paper was completely burnt, a gust of wind blew the ashes away. Sparks mixed with ashes danced in the air amidst the green smoke.

A month passed in just a blink of an eye.

In the Sacred Temple.

Zhu Honggong was once again brought to the Sacred Temple to meet Ming Xin. At this time, Ming Xin had been staring at him wordlessly for a full 15 minutes. With this, his hair stood on end, and his body trembled.

Ming Xin thought that the person in front of him, the owner of a Great Void Seed, did not change at all even though a month had passed.

Ming Xin did not speak, and Zhu Honggong did not speak either.

Ming Xin continued to look at Zhu Honggong. He thought the other party definitely would not be able to remain silent for long. However, contrary to his expectations, the other party really did not speak even after a long time had passed. Finally, he broke the silence and asked, “Have you gotten used to the Great Void?”

“Yes, yes. I adapt very easily. As long as there’s food and drinks, I’ll be fine! The wine here is really good, and there’s the top-grade tiger meat as well! It’s really delicious,” Zhu Honggong said praisingly without holding back.

Upon seeing the unnatural expression on Ming Xin’s face, Zhu Honggong hurriedly switched the topic and said, “The Great Void is truly vast and filled with resources. It’s even more vast than the Unknown Land. Then ten halls are all powerhouses in their own right. How admirable! As the one above the ten halls, you’re even more admirable!”

Ming Xin remained unmoved by the flattering words. Instead, he said, “You should know why you were brought to the Great Void.”

“I know,” Zhu Honggong said, “It’s because I have the Great Void Seed, and I’ll become a supreme being in the future. If I can become a divine supreme being like you, I’d be satisfied.”

Ming Xin said, “Talent is the foundation to become a divine supreme being. However, hard work and opportunity are equally as important.”

Zhu Honggong said, “Listening to your words is even more beneficial than studying for ten years. From now on, I’ll work hard to cultivate!”

Ming Xin fell silent again.

The silence seemed even more pronounced in the sizable Sacred Temple.

After a moment, Ming Xin said, “I’ll give you a chance.”

“Please speak.”

“From now on, as long as you serve the Sacred Temple faithfully, I won’t mistreat you. The Great Void has lost many talents over the years and lacks manpower,” Ming Xin said calmly. He did not give Zhu Honggong a chance to speak as he continued to say, “You have to think this through. I’ll give you three days to think about it. Remember that a wise man submits to circumstances.”

As soon as Ming Xin finished speaking…

Thud!

Zhu Honggong fell on one knee and said solemnly, “I’m willing to serve the Sacred Temple. Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity!”

‘He agreed just like that?’ Ming Xin frowned slightly. Although this was what he wanted, he felt that it was… a little too easy. Things that were easily obtained did not feel valuable. Moreover, it was impossible for him to judge if the person in front of him was sincere.

“Where did you get the Great Void Seed?” Ming Xin asked.

Zhu Honggong replied honestly, “My master gave it to me.”

“Your master?”

Zhu Honggong’s expression changed, and his eyes reddened as he said, “Unfortunately, my master is no longer around. If only he were still around, how good would it be?” “Your master has been to the Unknown Land?”

“Yes,” Zhu Honggong replied.

“What’s his cultivation level?”

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhu Honggong said, “My master is invincible!”

“Invincible?” Ming Xin’s frown deepened.

“That’s right. Invincible!” However, when Zhu Honggong raised his head and saw that Ming Xin’s expression did not look right, he quickly amended his words. “Uh, you’re ranked first. My master… is ranked second.”

At this time, an indignant voice rang from the side.

“Impudent! How can someone from the nine domains be compared to the Great Emperor?”

Zhu Honggong said immediately, “You’re right, you’re right. I was unaware of the Great Void’s existence in the past so I didn’t know there are so many experts in the Great Void.”

“Since you said your master is invincible, how did he die?” Ming Xin asked.

“This…” Zhu Honggong scratched his head, thinking of a way to answer this problematic question. After thinking for a while, he finally said, “Survival isn’t guaranteed when you walk on the edge of a knife all year round.”

Ming Xin no longer asked about Zhu Honggong’s master. Instead, he said, “Since you swore loyalty to the Sacred Temple, you have to become a supreme being as soon as possible.”

Zhu Honggong said loudly, “I’ll cultivate diligently and live up to Your Majesty’s expectations. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west! If you tell me to go west, I will never go east!”

“Leave,” Ming Xin said as he waved his hand with an unpleasant expression on his face.

Zhu Honggong said, “Your Majesty, since I have nothing better to do, why don’t I stay and chat with you? If you’re free, you can teach me a few moves or some meditation mantra?”

Wen Ruqing could not hold back any longer and said, “Leave when you’re told to leave. There’s no need to spout so much nonsense!”

Zhu Honggong nodded. “Alright, alright. I’ll leave now.”

Without saying another word, Zhu Honggong turned to leave. As he walked out, he muttered under his breath, “As I really want to talk nonsense with all of you…”

After Zhu Honggong left, Ming Xin asked, “Nothing changed during this month?”

“No. He’s exactly the same as when he arrived. He’s only good at flattery. I don’t know what kind of dog-sh*t luck he had for the Great Void Seed to fall into his hands,” Wen Ruqing said.

“There’s no point in talking about that now,” Ming Xin said tonelessly.

“I’m afraid we can’t entrust important tasks to such a person,” Wen Ruqing said.

Ming Xin shook his head and said, “I have plenty of time to educate this person. If he can become a Dao Saint within 100 years, I’ll make further plans.”

“Understood,” Wen Ruqing said. Despite his words, a frown could be seen on his face.
