Chapter 1746: No Intention of Fighting
Zhu Yong did not expect Ye Tianxin to have comprehended a great law from the Great Dao. Back when he first became a supreme being, it took him 1,000 years to truly grasp the laws of the Great Dao. This feat and these people were truly unreasonable.
Ye Tianxin supported Zhao Yue and gave Zhao Yue an encouraging look.
When Zhao Yue sensed the power from Ye Tianxin that was completely unlike before, she said, “Congratulations, junior sister.”
“Thank you. Senior sister, you’ll definitely be able to do it,” Ye Tianxin said.
Then, Zhao Yue flew toward the upper core’s entrance again. She inhaled deeply and forced herself to calm down. She and Ye Tianxin had one thing in common; they were both incredibly stubborn and unwilling to admit defeat. Perhaps, due to the slight change in her state of mind, she was not as guarded or resistant as before. As expected, the force had weakened accordingly. However, it had only weakened so slightly that it was almost negligible. Nonetheless, she was overjoyed. She continued to adjust her state of mind and relax. With that, the force weakened again.
‘It really works!’
The upper core’s energy was powerful. How could Zhao Yue resist its power? Hence, the only way was to go along with it.
When the force weakened considerably, Zhao Yu quickened her pace and flew out like a gust of wind. This time, the force disappeared completely.
Upon seeing this, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong nodded.
“The rest is just a matter of time.”
Upon seeing this, Zhu Yong said, “Congratulations!”
Yu Zhenghai said, “This is just the beginning. After entering the upper core, she still has to comprehend the Great Dao.”
Zhu Yong nodded. “Yes.” Then, he glanced at Yu Zhenghao and Yu Shangrong from the corners of his eyes as he asked, “The two of you are with the Azure Emperor. Did he allow both of you to come to Zhu Yong Hall?”
Yu Zhenghai replied, “The Azure Emperor is broad-minded. He doesn’t care about such things.”
“The Azure Emperor is truly amazing. I’m inferior to him,” Zhu Yong said.
At this moment, a loud noise thundered through the sky and earth.
“Hm?”
Everyone looked at the upper core. A terrible crack had appeared at the upper core. Then, more and more cracks appeared like a spider web.
The cultivators looked at each other in shock.
Thinking of Rou Zhao Hall’s current situation, Zhu Yong tightened his grip on the armrest, causing it to creak. After a moment, he asked, “Is it possible to stop comprehending the Great Dao?”
Yu Zhenghai said, “I’m afraid not. She has already begun to comprehend the Great Dao. If you forcefully stop it, it’ll only backfire even faster. Moreover, I’m here to ensure my junior sister successfully comprehends the Great Dao.”
Zhu Yong looked at the cracks worriedly. His expression was not very good as e asked, “What if I forcefully stop it?”
“Then, you’ll have to deal with my saber,” Yu Zhenghai said.
Yu Shangrong chimed in, “And my sword.”
“Just the two of you?” Zhu Yong was a divine king, after all. Regardless of the duo’s heaven-defying talent, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to defeat a divine king with their current cultivation bases.
“There’s also me,” Ye Tianxin said. The Amorous Hoop was already in her hand.
Zhu Yong laughed heartily before he said, “Even if you join forces, you’re still overestimating yourselves. You still can’t defeat supreme beings at your level.”
Nonetheless, Zhu Yong did not attack. The question was just a test.
At this moment, a Templar suddenly appeared nearby. Then, he said, “The Great Emperor has ordered us to make sure that Lady Zhao Yue comprehends the Great Dao without any interruption.”
Zhu Yong raised his head to look at the Templar before he said to Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong, “I wonder what kind of relationship you have with Ming Xin for him to go to such lengths…”
Yu Zhenghai said, clearly insincere, “Everyone should work hard to maintain the balance of the world…”
“...”
These words really made people feel nauseous.
The Templar said in a clear voice, “Lord Wen is on standby. If anyone tries to stop Lady Zhao Yue, they’ll be severely punished by Lord Wen.”
Zhu Yong looked at the Templar before he said mockingly, “I have a message for your Lord Wen. The Unholy One has already returned. As his former student, shouldn’t he be hiding now? What’s he doing running around? Is he hoping to redeem himself by kneeling and begging for mercy in the future when he faces the Unholy One?”
Upon hearing this, the cultivators of Zhu Yong Hall were surprised. For so many years, Zhu Yong Hall had been submissive to the Sacred Temple. They had never heard such words from Zhu Yong before. These words put all of them in high spirits.
The Templar’s expression was a little unnatural after hearing those words, but he managed to endure it. In the end, he said respectfully, “I’ll convey your message. Farewell.”
After the Templar left, another huge crack appeared on the upper core. It was even more terrible than the first one, and the sound was even louder.
The cultivators of Zhu Yong Hall grew more and more worried.
At this moment, a subordinate rushed over and said, “Your Majesty! The cultivators from Zhu Yong Hall’s territory are rushing over now!”
“Get rid of them! How can they come here so easily!” Zhu Yong said solemnly.
“I’m afraid it’s not that easy. There are too many of them!”
Zhu Yong said a little angrily, “How many?”
“Countless.”
Yu Zhenghai said, “Shanyan’s Pillar of Destruction corresponds with Zhu Yong Hall. Don’t worry. Shanyan’s pillar won’t collapse for the time being. The upper core will repair itself.”
Zhu Yong sighed and said, “I know you’re lying, but I still need to bite the bullet and accept it.” Then, he waved his hand and said, “Pass down my orders. No one’s allowed to get close to the upper core. Kill those who disobey the order.”
“This…” The subordinate looked troubled.
“What?”
“There are too many of them. It’s impossible to stop all of them. I don’t know where the rumors that the destruction of the upper cores will cause the collapse of the pillars and the Great Void come from. Rou Zhao Hall, Xuan Meng Hall, and Zhao Yang Hall are in chaos because of this rumor as well,” the subordinate said.
Zhu Yong said, “It’s so serious? Why didn’t you report this earlier?”
“Your Majesty, things happened too quickly.”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the southeastern direction of the upper core, a huge commotion rang out.
Then, someone shouted, “Emperor Zhu Yong! Please come out quickly and give everyone an explanation! The cultivation world won’t allow the Unholy One to return and endanger everyone in the world! The Pillars of Destruction can’t be allowed to fall!”
“Come out quickly and give everyone an explanation!”
Zhu Yong smacked the armrest angrily. “Impudent!” Then, he turned to Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong and said, “I’ll have to trouble both of you to go out and deal with this.”
Yu Zhenghai shook his head and said, “Our mission is to protect our junior sister. For such matters, it’s better if you step forward. They’re cultivators from Zhu Yong Hall’s territory. It won’t be good for Zhu Yong Hall’s reputation if you send us, outsiders, to deal with them.”
Zhu Yong could only nod and say, “Very well.”
Then, Zhu Yong led a group of cultivators and flew away.
After Zhu Yong left, a beam of light shot out of the upper core into the sky.
Following that, a thunderous cracking noise reverberated in the air.
The sky and the earth shook.
Zhu Yong, who had just flown away, turned back to look.After hesitating for a moment, he transmitted his voice to the distance and said, “Who’s so bold to cause trouble at Zhu Yong Hall’s upper core?”
Meanwhile, when Ye Tianxin saw the crumbling upper core, she said excitedly, “It’s almost done!”
This was the same as when Ye Tianxin comprehended the Great Dao.
Soon after, they saw Zhao Yue emerging from the crumbling upper core. Her body was almost translucent.
Upon seeing this, Yu Zhenghai asked, puzzled, “Second Junior Brother, can you tell what kind of great law junior sister has comprehended?”
Yu Shangrong shook his head. “I can’t tell for the time being.”
“Junior Sister Zhao Yue’s state is really strange. It’s not the great law of time or the great law of space. What is it?”
Ye Tianxin said, “We’ll know once senior sister is done.”
The duo nodded.
When Zhao Yue was almost done, a pillar of light suddenly shot out from the direction of Zhu Yong Hall’s cultivators. Then, someone flew out, intending to stab Zhao Yue with a sword.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were caught off guard so there was no time to react. Moreover, the other party’s cultivation was infinitely close to that of a supreme being. They did not expect such an expert was hiding in the crowd.
Ye Tianxin hurriedly used the great law of space to intercept the other party.
The other party’s expression was dark as he said in a low voice, “It’s too late. She’ll definitely die!”
Swoosh!
The other party’s speed was extremely fast.
Before Ye Tianxin arrived in front of Zhao Yue, the beam of light passed through Zhao Yue’sbody. She was completely unharmed.
“Incorporeal form?”
The other party was shocked. He looked at Zhao Yue, who was slowly opening her eyes at this moment. She was indeed unharmed.
At this moment, the Amorous Hoop flew over, followed closely by the Jasper Saber and the Longevity Sword.
The other party quickly turned around and released a dazzling energy sword to repel the attacks.
Zhao Yue, who just regained her senses, looked around blankly at the energy sword and her surroundings. She said in a daze, “What’s… What’s happening?”
“Junior sister, let’s go!” Yu Shangrong flashed to Zhao Yue’s side and grabbed her arm.
With this, Zhao Yue lost her incorporeal form.
“You’re not allowed to leave!” the other party shouted as he fended off Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and Ye Tianxin’s attacks, “She can’t leave! Don’t let her leave! She’s the owner of the Great Void Seed. She took away the seed and took away the Great Void energy from Zhu Yong Hall. If she leaves, Shanyan’s pillar will collapse, and the Great Void will fall! At that time, all of us will die!”
It was easy to sway people’s hearts with a few clever words. This was especially true since the upper core has been torn apart.
The cultivators of Rou Zhao Hall hesitated. Without Zhu Yong, they did not dare to recklessly make a move.
“None of you can leave!”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Following that, the cultivators from Rou Zhao Hall flew up one after another, forming a human wall.
“We’ll decide once His Majesty returns. Since you’ve already comprehended the Great Dao, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Zhao Yue, and Ye Tianxin’s expressions darkened immediately as they looked at the cultivators standing in their way.
Then, Yu Zhenghai asked loudly, “You dare to disobey the order of the Sacred Temple?”
“We’ve already done as the Sacred Temple wished; she’s successfully comprehended the Great Dao. Now, we only have one request. She has to stay until His Majesty returns.”
“The Evil Sky Pavilion has no intention of fighting with the people and only wants to comprehend the Great Dao. The collapse of the Great Void is inevitable. If you insist on stopping us, then don’t blame us for not showing mercy!”
Following that, the Jasper Saber shone with a golden light.
Yu Shangrong flew to the side, and the Longevity flew out of its sheath. Then, a golden halo with 17 leaves around it appeared as well.
Zhu Yong Hall’s cultivators retreated one after another, especially when they saw the 17 golden leaves. Their expressions were one of shock, having never seen 17 leaves before.
Humans feared the unknown, after all.
In the Great Void, there were no cultivators who severed their lotuses. 12 leaves and 36 Birth Charts were the norms. What the hell were 17 leaves?
