Chapter 1178: The Legend of Lu Tiantong
Seeing how persistent Lu Wu was, Lu Zhou said, “With here, how can they find fault with you?”
Lu Wu disagreed. “I admit… Venerable Master Lu is… very strong. However, compared to supre beings, the difference is… far too vast…”
Lu Zhou asked curiously, “How vast?”
After all, Lu Zhou was not a Venerable Master nor a supre being. It was only natural he was curious.
“As vast… as vast as the… Unknown Land…”
“…”
This statent was a bit too broad.
Lu Zhou continued to ask, “Have you t a supre being?”
Lu Wu shook its head.
Lu Zhou wondered why Lu Wu would use such an exaggerated taphor if it had never t a supre being. He asked, puzzled, “Since even you’ve never t a supre being, maybe they don’t exist?”
“They must exist.” Lu Wu raised its head and looked at the sky and the few white clouds absent-mindedly. “Those who can keep Venerable Masters in line; those who can maintain the balance… They’ve always been there…”
“Then why haven’t they appeared?” Lu Zhou asked.
Lu Wu shook its head, indicating that it did not know.
The puny human beings were just a drop in the ocean in the vast galaxy. Beast emperors were just slightly bigger stones. It was a fool’s dream to try to uncover the mysteries of the universe.
Lu Zhou tapped his toes and flew up. “Lu Wu, I dislike lying. I’m not the Lu Tiantong you keep bringing up…”
Lu Wu did not speak. ‘Lie, continue to lie… I’ve yet to verify the matters of the ten Great Void Seeds, but you want to trick again… On second thought, it’s not easy for a Venerable Master to fall to such a state. To avoid trouble, I’ll just play along with him…’
Lu Zhou asked, “Is Lu Tiantong very powerful?”
Lu Wu lowered its voice a little and said, “There aren’t many Venerable Masters who can defeat … Lu Tiantong is one of them who can.
Lu Wu lowered his voice a little, he said: “There are not many spiritual masters who can defeat . Lu Tiantong is one of them. Lu Tiantong is the heaven’s son; a Venerable Master. A Venerable Master is one with the Dao and the heavens. Venerable Masters are those who’ve mastered the Dao…”
Lu Wu’s expression was slightly unnatural when it ntioned the Dao. It seed like the Dao was sothing that surpassed the fierce beasts.
“The Dao?” Lu Zhou asked.
‘Why are you asking questions you know the answer to again?!’
Lu Wu did not explain and instead, said, “If I knew… I’d beco a divine beast a long ti ago…”
“Lu Tiantong and Duanmu Dian could defeat you. They’d both passed the third Birth Trial?”
Lu Wu nodded.
Lu Zhou continued to say, “The third Birth Trial is also the 18 Chart Trial. Do all Venerable Masters have more than 18 Birth Charts?”
“Yes, but not many more than 18,” Lu Wu answered perfunctorily.
“Then, do you know how one becos a supre being?”
Finally, Lu Wu felt Lu Zhou had asked a good question. It was normal for a dignified Venerable Master to want to find the way to move forward. There were many Venerable Masters looking for the way to beco supre beings, after all.
Lu Wu replied, “I don’t know.”
“…”
There was nothing wrong with this answer. However, one had to know the cultivation path to becoming a divine beast was related to becoming a supre being. However, Lu Wu thought human affairs had nothing to do with it, a beast emperor.
Initially, Lu Wu wanted to brag about how Lu Tiantong suppressed the black lotus domain 30,000 years ago. However, when he rembered that Lu Tiantong was right in front of him, he had no desire to brag at all. It would only suffocate itself to death by doing so.
Lu Zhou thought for a mont before changing his strategy. He asked, “How did Duanmu Dian defeat you?”
Lu Wu was slightly taken aback by this question. After thinking for a mont, it said, “I let him win.”
“…”
After conversing for a while, Lu Zhou learned that Duanmu Dian was a Venerable Master of the sa generation as Lu Tiantong who later went to the purple lotus domain. He subdued Lu Wu in the Unknown Land and beca its master.
When peace descended on the world, Venerable Masters mysteriously disappeared. Until today, no one knew what happened.
Cultivators below the stage of Venerable Masters could not stand the test of ti while new generations could not catch up to the Venerable Masters of the past, resulting in the current state of the cultivation world. The ancient books referred to this ti as the 30,000-year Void in the cultivation world.
“Now that 30,000 years have passed, another new round of a 30,000-year Void is about to begin… However, it’s also a clean slate. The Great Void Seeds are the key…”
Lu Wu echoed and said, “Due to the heaven and earth shackles and humans’ pathetic selfishness, cultivation levels will be restricted…”
In regard to the heaven and earth shackles, this was the case in the golden lotus domain previously. Since cultivators there were only limited to eight leaves at that ti, as ti passed, more and more Eight-leaf cultivators appeared. As for humans’ selfishness, the Black Tower Council implented the captive plan on the red lotus domain, causing cultivators in the red lotus domain to remain at the Nine-leaf and Ten-leaf stage, unable to advance to the Thousand Realms Whirling stage.
Lu Zhou nodded. Then, he asked, slightly surprised, “You know these things?”
Lu Wu looked at him with a complex expression and said, “You were the one who told these things in the past… What do you think? I played along very well, didn’t I, Venerable Master Lu?”
“…”
“You should be honored. I wouldn’t just play along with any Venerable Master…” Lu Wu said. Then, it rose to its feet, preparing to leave.
At the sa ti, Zhu Honggong flew over with a smile on his face.
‘Isn’t he the one I sent flying with just a push? I have to apologize to make sure this future supre being will forget about my transgression today…’
Lu Wu lowered its head. Just as it was about to speak…
Zhu Honggong flew over and landed near one of Lu Wu’s giant paws.
‘Hmm?’
Following that, Zhu Honggong patted Lu Wu’s paw and said, “I didn’t hurt your paw earlier, did I?”
Lu Wu. “…”
‘He’s a really good actor…’
“No, no…” Finally, Lu Wu raised its paw and retreated, looking at Zhu Honggong vigilantly.
“That’s good.” Zhu Honggong nodded. Then, he flew in front of Lu Zhou. He cupped his fists together and raised them in the air after he kneeled and said, “Greetings, master.”
Lu Wu. “…”
Lu Zhou had long gotten used to Zhu Honggong’s antics. He said, “Why are you here?”
Zhu Honggong smiled ingratiatingly as he said, “Master, we haven’t seen each other for a few days, but it feels like three years. You’re more majestic and manly than before…”
“Speak. Don’t beat around the bush.”
“I want to stay in the Evil Sky Pavilion.”
“Then stay,” Lu Zhou said.
Zhu Hong Gong was overjoyed by Lu Zhou’s reply. Then, he asked, “Then, how should I explain this to Second Senior Brother?”
‘Is there a need to explain?’
Lu Zhou frowned and said, “It’s important to pay attention to seniority. When I’m not around, you’ll naturally have to listen to your senior brothers…”
“…”
Zhu Honggong felt stifled. If he knew earlier, he would not have asked.
“Alright, you can leave,” Lu Zhou said.
“Yes.” Zhu Hong turned around and left respectfully.
After that, Lu Zhou looked up at Lu Wu and asked, “There’s one more thing. How did you know about Duanmu Sheng when we were at the Northern Sword Canyon?”
Lu Wu said proudly, “Despicable humans aren’t worthy of cooperating with . The Black Emperor spent three years to find and opened an ancient formation at the Northern Sword Canyon. At that ti, I sensed Young Master’s existence so I played along…” It paused for a mont before it added, “It’s strange that I can’t sense the Great Void Seed.”
“It’s just a concealing technique…” Lu Zhou replied.
Nevertheless, Lu Wu warned Lu Zhou again. The corrosive energy had exposed Duanmu Sheng’s Great Void Seed. Rather than saying it was an accident, it was better to say the concealing technique was not good enough.
