Chapter 1478 The Test of the Pillar of Destruction (3)
Since they were inside the Pillar of Destruction, they could not see the sky. From the beginning until now, it felt as though they were underground.
Lu Zhou did not find it difficult to adapt to this. After all, it was kind of similar to the times when he walked in subway stations.
There were many Feather tribesmen outside the hall. There were even people from other tribes.
The main entrance of the hall was 1,000 feet tall.
Upon seeing Elder Ming De, the Feather tribesmen came up one after another to greet and bow at him.
“Greetings, Elder Ming De.”
“Alright, no need for formalities,” Elder Ming De said.
Then, the Feather tribesmen’s gazes fell on Lu Zhou and his two disciples before they began to discuss in low voices.
All of a sudden, someone exclaimed, “There are humans in here!”
“That’s right. They don’t look like they’re from the Great Abyss Land.”
“Since they’re accompanied by Elder Ming De, their identities can’t be simple.”
“It’s been a long time since the last time outsiders came to the Great Abyss Land. Those who can come here definitely have high status.”
When they walked deeper into the hall, Lu Zhou, Little Yuan’er, and Conch saw the spherical barrier on a square platform. The Great Void seedling in the barrier looked strong and grew straight. The barrier flickered continuously.
They could clearly sense its power. After looking at the barrier for a while, Lu Zhou discovered that it was almost as though he was falling into a trance.
‘A confusion technique? Is this to test one’s willpower?’ Lu Zhou activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic. A cooling sensation swept out of the Purple Glazed Ceramic and sobered him up.
Elder Ming De pointed at the barrier and said, “This is the barrier of the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. Over the past 100,000 years, only one person was recognized by this pillar, and he’s the current Emperor Yu.” He looked at Lu Zhou before he continued to say, “Emperor Yu and the White Emperor are old friends. Since the White Emperor had asked for a favor, we can only agree. However, before you try to enter the barrier, there are a few conditions”
Lu Zhou looked at the barrier and remained silent.
Elder Ming De said, “First, the matter of you coming to the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction must be kept a secret. After all, the pillar here doesn’t belong to our Feather tribe. If this spreads out, it won’t look good for Emperor Yu and the White Emperor. Second, the conditions to get recognized by the pillar are very harsh. If you’re successfully recognized by the pillar, you have to stay here and serve for 3,000 years. During these 3,000 years, the Great Abyss Land will not mistreat you. Third, it’s very hard to be recognized by this pillar. If you can obtain recognition, you shouldn’t force it. Otherwise, there’s a high chance that you’ll lose your mind. No matter what the results are, it has nothing to do with the Feather tribe. Do you agree with these three conditions?”
Before Lu Zhou could respond, Little Yuan’er exclaimed, “3,000 years?! Are you kidding me?!”
Elder Ming De glanced at Little Yuan’er and said, “These are the conditions of the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction. Little girl, the condition you should carefully consider is the third one, not the second one.” Little Yuan’er was quite displeased. However, considering they were in the Great Abyss Land, she was not too blunt with her words as she said, “No, no, the second condition is the most important. How can it be like that? I’m afraid I can’t agree to it. How can I give up 3,000 years of freedom?”
Inwardly, Little Yuan’er cursed, ‘This group of bandits forcefully occupied the Great Abyss Land’s Pillar of Destruction and even want to extort others! How despicable!!
Elder Ming De laughed. “The conditions can’t be changed. However, since you’re friends of the White Emperor, I’ll overlook the second condition.”
After all, keeping the White Emperor’s people here for 3,000 years could be considered imprisonment. The Feather tribe was doing the White Emperor a favor, after all. Keeping his people here for 3,000 years might end up offending him.
Little Yuan’er looked delighted. “Really?”
Elder Ming De said, “I’ll naturally keep my words.”
“That’s great!” Little Yuan’er said before she turned to Lu Zhou and asked excitedly, “Master, can I start now?”
Elder Ming De asked in confusion, “Wait. You mean you, specifically, are going to try to obtain recognition from the pillar?” “Yes. Why?”
