Chapter 1715: Time to Show His Power (1)
Lu Zhou did not care about the three conditions. His main goal now was to obtain Zhi Ming’s blood essence. The conditions were nothing. Moreover, the other party was the White Emperor; the White Emperor was hardly like ordinary people.
Although Bai Zhaoju knew the way, they still had to fly quite a distance. The eastern Lost Island was very far away. In order to sever communications to the Great Void, there were hardly any runic passages that linked the two sides. Even if there were, the runic passages were still located a distance away from the destination.
Lu Zhou and Bai Zhaoju arrived in the east of the Great Void through a nearby runic passage. Then, after traveling through another runic passage at the east, they flew to the Endless Ocean.
When they arrived above the Endless Ocean, the waves were turbulent. It was not as calm as before.
Lu Zhou, who had come to the Endless Ocean many times, no longer had the anxieties of the earlier days. He remained indifferent as he looked at the sea.
Bai Zhaoju pointed at the surface of the sea and said, “There are too many sea beasts. It’s best we don’t clash with them.”
Lu Zhou clasped his hands on his back and said, “My goal has never been these sea beasts.”
“Cultivators from the Great Void rarely come to the Endless Ocean. In fact, it’s the cultivators from the nine domains that come here often, hoping to kill some sea beasts and obtain their life hearts. The mutual slaughtering between humans and fierce beasts hasn’t changed at all…” Bai Zhaoju said.
“The ruler of the fierce beasts hasn’t appeared for a long time now,” Lu Zhou said with a small sigh.
“You’re talking about Kun?” Bai Zhaoju asked.
“Although Kun is powerful, it’s not the ruler of the fierce beasts,” Lu Zhou replied.
Bai Zhaoju was curious. He cupped his fists together at Lu Zhou and asked, “Then, who’s the ruler of the fierce beasts?”
Lu Zhou’s expression was calm as he looked at the boundless sea and said, “That’s not important.”
Following that, Lu Zhou shot across the sky toward the east like a meteor.
Bai Zhaoju could only sigh and follow Lu Zhou.
After a while, the two experts finally arrived at a reef.
Bai Zhaoju explained, “This is the only place that links the Lost Island to the Great Void. From here, we can reach the Lost Island.”
Lu Zhou nodded. Then, he asked curiously, “Why did you leave the Great Void back then?”
This question brought back unpleasant memories for Bai Zhaoju. He looked slightly embarrassed as he said, “I was weak.”
Bai Zhaoju only became a divine emperor when he was at the Endless Ocean. The reason he became one of the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands was due to his charisma, partly due to his righteous and aboveboard way of doing things, and partly due to his good relationship with the other three Emperors of the Lost Land. He was so personable that even Ming Xin did not view him as an enemy.
Among the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands, Bai Zhaoju was the last to leave the Great Void. At that time, even Ming Xin persuaded him to stay. Needless to say, he refused.
Lu Zhou had nothing more to say to this answer so he said, “Let’s go.”
After the two landed on a rock, Bai Zhaoju activated the runic passage.
With a flash of light, the duo disappeared and reappeared in the western sky of the Lost Island. From afar, the Lost Island looked like a line.
Lu Zhou hovered in the air and observed the Lost Island for a while before saying, “You actually found such a huge island. Mount Halcyon is only average in comparison.”
“Mount Halcyon is so special. How can this island compare to it? Let’s go.”
The duo flew at a very high speed. After a few breaths, they were already very close to the island.
The Lost Island was lush. The scenery was lush, the air was fresh, and the vitality energy was abundant. It was a good place to cultivate.
Lu Zhou admired the scenery for a while and said, “Such a good place. Why do you want to return to the Great Void?”
Bai Zhaoju sighed and said, “It’s just like a fallen leaf that wants to return to its roots.”
As soon as Bai Zhaoju’s voice fell, a large number of white-clad cultivators appeared on the island and flew up into the sky. About 100 of them rushed over immediately. When they saw Bai Zhaoju, they were extremely surprised. They quickly bowed and greeted him, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Bai Zhaoju waved his sleeve and said, “Forget it. Hurry up and greet Pavilion Master Lu.”
“Greetings, Pavilion Master Lu,” the white-clad cultivators said in unison.
Inwardly, the white-clad cultivators were puzzled. Who was Pavilion Master Lu? Why did it seem like he was on equal footing with the White Emperor?
Back then, some of the white-clad cultivators present had met Lu Zhou at the Pillar of Destruction. However, they only felt that he looked a little familiar; they did not recognize him.
Lu Zhou said calmly, “It’s not easy to have so many people follow you…”
Bai Zhaoju said, “You flatter me.
“Alright, let’s cut the small talk. Bring me to Zhi Ming,” Lu Zhou said.
Lu Zhou’s words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
Among the white-clad cultivators, a senior disciple raised his head in surprise. A frown could be seen on his face as he asked, “Pavilion Master Lu, you came to look for Zhi Ming?”
Lu Zhou nodded.
The senior disciples said immediately, “Your Majesty, please reconsider! This is a matter of great importance. You must not let outsiders know about it.”
With the senior disciple taking the lead, the others echoed his words.
“Your Majesty, please reconsider!”
Lu Zhou did not care about the attitude and opinions of these people. Only Bai Zhaoju’s attitude was important.
Bai Zhaoju flashed forward and clasped his hands on his back. He stood in front of the white-clad cultivators and said, “Pavilion Master Lu is not an outsider.”
The white-clad cultivators looked at each other in dismay.
‘How could we not know if he’s an outsider or not? Your Majesty, you’re treating us like fools!’
“This matter is too important. It concerns the lives of thousands of the Lost Kingdom. Your Majesty, please reconsider.”
‘Lost Kingdom?’
Long before Bai Zhaoju became a divine emperor, he had already decided to spend a long life on the Lost Island. He built his own kingdom here. It was rumored that the Lost Island used to be part of the land before it split. The land split into pieces, and some of them drifted on the Endless Ocean. Bai Zhaoju’s Lost Island, Chi Biaonu’s Southern Flaming Sea, and Mount Halcyon were just a few of them. That was why they were referred to as the Lost Lands or Lost Islands.
