Chapter 1814: First Conversation

After a while, Ming Xin said ominously, “Everyone will have to pay the price for their actions.”

Si Wuya nodded. “I agree.”

Ming Xin asked, “The Sacred Temple has always treated you well. Why did you betray the Sacred Temple?”

Si Wuya waved his hand and said, “These words are a great injustice to me. Ever since I came to the Great Void, I’ve never done anything wrong to the Sacred Temple. The reason I hid my identity and asked someone to impersonate me was only to protect myself. You know the situation in the Great Void better than I do. Everyone, including you, wanted to kill me back then…”

Ming Xin fell silent.

Si Wuya gradually relaxed. As long as Ming Xin gave him a chance to speak, he thought there was a high chance he could convince Ming Xin. He continued to say, “As for the deaths of the three Supremes, that was my master’s grudge with them. As for the grudge between you and my master, I don’t know anything about it. At that time, even if I wanted to avenge my master, I didn’t have the capability to do so. I’ve done many things for the temple. Even if my contributions weren’t great, I had worked hard.”

Ming Xin said indifferently, “A good subordinate doesn’t serve two masters.”

“The Evil Sky Pavilion is where I obtained my skills. There are countless people like me in the Great Void. One side is like family while the other side is like work; it’s not contradictory,” Si Wuya said, “I really didn’t know about the grudge between you and master and only found out about it later. If I knew, I wouldn’t have entered the Great Void. Moreover, if you think about it from another perspective, I’m the Commander of Tu Wei Hall. Tu Wei Hall has nothing to do with the Sacred Temple. How could I have betrayed the temple?”

At this point, the air seemed to freeze.

Xia Zhengrong and Xiao Yunhe, who were standing in the distance, did not dare to breathe loudly at all. They knew now that the person next to Si Wuya was the Temple Master of the Great Void’s Sacred Temple. In Ming Xin’s eyes, they were no better than ants.

After a long silence, Ming Xin clasped his hands on his back and said tonelessly, “I’ve never liked those with glib tongues. You’ve said enough. It’s time to leave.”

Si Wuya bowed and said loudly, “The Unknown Land gave birth to the ten Pillars of Destruction, and the ten Pillars of Destruction gave birth to the ten great laws. The Unknown Land also gave birth to the nine domains. The nine domains did not appear for no reason. The reconstruction of the world has to have the earth as a foundation just like how the Pillars of Destruction stood in the Unknown Land. When the earth dies, all the laws will die with it as well.”

Ming Xin paused. His eyes burned like a torch as he stared at Si Wuya unblinkingly.

Si Wuya maintained his posture of bowing, not moving at all.

After a long time, Ming Xin said, “Interesting.”

Si Wuya was about to speak again when he felt his body move involuntarily. He flew toward the southeast of the Black Tower Council.

As for Ming Xin, he had already disappeared without a trace.

Upon seeing this, Xia Zhengrong and Xiao Yunhe rushed over. Just as they were about to fly out, they saw that Si Wuya had also vanished without a trace.

Xia Zhengrong exclaimed, “So he’s the Temple Master of the Sacred Temple?”

“I guess so…”

“I didn’t expect him to be so strong…” Xia Zhengrong said.

Xiao Yunhe glanced at Xia Zhengrong and said, “Hasn’t it occurred to you? If he’s stronger than Pavilion Master Lu, why didn’t he look for Pavilion Master Lu? Instead, he’s venting his anger on Pavilion Master Lu’s disciples…”

Xia Zhengrong: “…”

…

In the black lotus domain’s Eastern Forest Mountain.

Two figures appeared in the air.

Si Wuya looked at his surroundings briefly before he said to Ming Xin, “Thank you.”

Ming Xin did not say anything.

Si Wuya brought the Heaven Suppressing Pestle and threw it down.

The Heaven Suppressing Heaven grew swiftly in the air. It was enormous. It resembled the pillar at the green lotus domain’s Sky Hook Ropeway. It also looked like a small Pillar of Destruction.

Boom!

The Heaven Suppressing Pestle hit the ground, and the earth’s meridians lit up immediately. The lines connected with each other and formed a whole.

Seeing that the power of the earth had stabilized, Si Wuya heaved a sigh of relief.

Ming Xin’s expression was calm as he glanced at Si Wuya and said, “There’s another one left.”

“There’s no need for Your Majesty to help my Fourth Senior Brother. He can do it himself,” Si Wuya said.

“Hm?” Ming Xin frowned upon hearing this. Then, he flashed and suddenly appeared in front of Si Wuya before he pushed his hand out.

Boom!

Si Wuya was sent flying. As he flew back, a pair of flaming wings unfurled on his back. In just an instant, flames filled the sky. Just a casual palm strike from Ming Xin greatly pressured him.

Ming Xin said in a deep voice, “No one in this world dares to provoke me.”

Si Wuya said, “Please understand that this is the only way I can understand the situation at the Towers of Heaven. Guan Jiu alone isn’t enough…”

Guan Jiu did not dare to make the same mistake twice, but he was not decisive. The deaths of the other three Supremes of the Sacred Temple made him fear the Unholy One even more.

Si Wuya continued to say, “I told Fourth Senior Brother that unless you showed up, he did not have to bother with anyone else. I’m not provoking you. In that situation, both advancing and retreating is fine.”

In other words, whether Mingshi Yin was captured or not, they both benefited Si Wuya.

Ming Xin asked, “Do you really think I don’t dare to kill you?”

“You have to ask yourself that,” Si Wuya replied.

The Great Void Seeds had already completely fused with the ten disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion, and they had also comprehended the Great Dao. Killing any of them was tantamount to destroying the plan to reconstruct the Sacred Region.

However, there were no absolutes in this world, and there were no perfect plans. Ming Xin had been in a high position for a long time, and he had lived for an even longer time. Who knew what he was thinking? He might have grown tired after living for so many years and wanted to drag everyone down with him.

Si Wuya was just stating facts so he did not see what was wrong with his words. However, he could tell he had angered Ming Xin even if Ming Xin did not show it much.

As though showing off his strength, Ming Xin suddenly appeared above Si Wuya in just a blink of an eye. Then, he said expressionlessly, “Descendant of Ling Guang, the Fire Deity. Perhaps, it’s time to show you that what you’re facing is like an insurmountable mountain.”

Following that, nine light disks appeared in the sky.

‘This is bad!’

Sensing great danger, Si Wuya spread his wings and flew away. He was just about to leave the range of the light disks when space seemed to freeze. He felt his movement stop along with time. Time and space had both been frozen. Moreover, Ming Xin’s control over time was far beyond his expectations.

Boom!

The nine light disks suddenly came to a stop just before they touched Si Wuya. A dark tear in the space appeared above them immediately.

If the tear was a little lower, it would be able to devour Si Wuya.

This was Ming Xin showing his power.

When time and space returned to normal, Si Wuya lowered his altitude, dodging the black hole in space.

After a moment, the hole gradually mended itself.

Ming Xin asked, “Do you still think I can’t do anything to all of you?”

Si Wuya raised his head and said, “What’s done cannot be undone. Listen to me. Reconstructing the world will cost the lives of everyone in the Sacred Region. It’s not worth it!”

Ming Xin ignored Si Wuya. He brought the Sky Encompassing Mirror out, and soon after, the mirror showed the Tower of Heaven.

Si Wuya thought there should be a prison at the top of the Tower of Heaven, and it was likely the strongest prison in Sacred City. Mingshi Yin would never be able to escape with his strength alone.

However, when the mirror showed the prison, it was unexpectedly empty. There was no sign of Mingshi Yin.

Si Wuya thought that Ming Xin would be furious, but Ming Xin remained calm.

Ming Xin waved the Sky Encompassing Mirror, and soon enough, the mirror found Mingshi Yin immediately.

Mingshi Yin was already in the purple lotus domain, and there were many cultivators who prostrated themselves before him.

Si Wuya: “???”

‘It seems like Fourth Senior Brother’s habit of showing off has come back…’

Upon seeing this, Si Wuya said loudly, “All of the Heaven Suppressing Pestles are in place except for the one in the Great Abyss Land. The land is safe. Please for the sake of everyone in the Sacred Region and Sacred City, let them move!”

Ming Xin continued to ignore Si Wuya. He flashed and appeared next to Si Wuya, easily catching Si Wuya. The Sky Encompassing Mirror hovered in front of him as he asked, “The runic passages have stopped working. How did Mingshi Yin go to the purple lotus domain?”

A slight fluctuation could finally be heard in Ming Xin’s voice, and this fluctuation caused Si Wuya’s heart to skip a beat. Oftentimes, this meant that the passive would become active. After a moment, he replied, “Emperor Shang Zhang is skilled in runes…”

“Shang Zhang? Very good,” Ming Xin said.

“The ten halls of the Great Void are filled with talented people. They’re not useless,” Si Wuya said.

Ming Xin said, “One day if you have my experience, you’ll be able to see that they’re much worse than you can imagine…”

Si Wuya did not speak anymore.

Swoosh!

The scene in the Sky Encompassing Mirror changed again, showing the Towers of Heaven again.

Upon seeing the figure in the mirror, Si Wuya could not help but exclaim in surprise, “Master?”

…

Lu Zhou had arrived in the Sacred Region near the Tower of Heaven. He hovered in the air and looked down at the bustling Sacred Region that spanned thousands of miles.

The people here were not in a hurry. In fact, they seemed rather leisurely, completely unaffected by the falling Great Void.

Lu Zhou understood that these people had placed all their hopes on the Sacred Temple, and they also trusted the Sacred Temple. He really did not know why these people would have such belief in the Sacred Temple. Perhaps, it was due to the Tower of Heaven.

“Ming Xin,” Lu Zhou called out in a clear and powerful voice.

Ming Xin did not appear; it was impossible for him to appear now.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Instead, hundreds of Templars came from all directions.

Lu Zhou did not even spare them a glance. His eyes fixed on the Tower of Heaven as he said, “Those who don’t want to die better not interfere…”

Buzz!

Lu Zhou’s eyes glowed blue.

The Templars, who were about to attack, lost their momentum and retreated immediately.

“Unholy One?!”

In the Great Void, there was no one who was not afraid of the Unholy One. This included the Templars.

The more taboo something was, the more mysterious and legendary it would become. The unknown tended to magnify fear.

Naturally, the Templars did not dare to approach.

At this moment, a light flashed about the Tower of Heaven before a voice rang in the air.

“I didn’t think you’d be so lucky. The Great Maelstrom actually sent you back.”

Lu Zhou looked at the top of the Tower of Heaven and scolded, “Stupid.”

Ming Xin, who had transmitted his voice here using the Sky Encompassing Mirror, clenched his hands and looked a little angry. However, his voice was calm as he asked, “Are you talking about me?”

Si Wuya: “…”

‘As expected of master ability to infuriate people with his words! No matter what I said earlier, Ming Xin didn’t care at all and remained unmoved. It’s hard to manipulate someone with no fluctuation in their emotions…’

Perhaps, it was difficult for those who were not in the same league to communicate.

Lu Zhou said, “The number of times I went to the Great Maelstrom is much larger than the number of your Templars. To think you tried to use the Great Maelstrom to trap me. If you’re not stupid, then who is?”
