My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 1774

Chapter 1774: He Might Have Returned to the Peak
??
The sky above Golden Court Mountain looked as though it was covered by a huge blue net.

The ten Templars were in pain and looked miserable. They could acutely sense the power in their bodies returning to the world.

The bushy-browed man went crazy and struggled desperately.

The ten people unleashed palm seals in a desperate bid to break free.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jie Jin’an warned the others, “Be careful…”

The few of them quickly retreated to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Lu Zhou also noticed the danger for the others. Although the ten Templars did not have control over the great laws, their raw strength was still that of a divine emperor. If it were not for his comprehension of the great law, it would be difficult for him to control them.

The bushy-browed man could not bear the loss of this power, and he could not bear the pain of the blue energy corroding his bones. He thrashed around wildly as he shouted, “Let’s see how you’re going to block this!”

The other nine Templars looked at him in confusion amidst their pain. As his companions, they knew him very well. He had never lost his calm like that before. It was their first time seeing him so reckless and irascible.

By the time Nan Ping sensed something was amiss, it was too late.

With that bushy-browed Templar in the center, his Dantian’s sea of Qi and divine soul pearl exploded in the sky with a blinding light.

“No!” Jiang Aijian was shocked.

The destructive force of a divine emperor, fake or not, who self-detonated was not something ordinary people could withstand. The force might even flatten the entire Golden Court Mountain.

Jie Jin’an frowned and quickly reminded Lu Zhou, “Law of space!”

Lu Zhou had already thought of this. He quickly manifested his blue avatar.

The blue avatar towered between heaven and earth. Its hands shone with electric arcs as it flew out.

Boom!

When the bushy-browed man self-detonated, the blue avatar split the space open and cracks began to spread in all directions.

Nan Ping looked at the blue avatar in shock, feeling as though his worldview had been overturned. He looked at the cracks in the space and thought they looked brilliant.

Soon, despair flooded the Templars’ hearts. They knew they would not be able to avoid the explosion.

Boom!

Primal Qi exploded in the sky as energy raged violently like a tempest. It easily tore the Templars’ protective energies apart.

The shockwave from the explosion was completely absorbed by the cracks and holes in the space, entering the dark hole.

Jiang Aijian looked up and exclaimed, “Amazing! I didn’t expect Senior Ji’s law of space to have reached such a high level!”

The torn space perfectly resolved the explosion.

The blue avatar once again demonstrated its unrestrained state and quickly disintegrated before it formed again next to Lu Zhou.

Then, Lu Zhou raised his hand to the sky, bringing out his astrolabe.

Buzz!

Lu Zhou had left Unnamed with Ying Long so he could only use his astrolabe to defend against the residue energy that stormed in the sky.

The blue astrolabe flashed with electric arcs. Its diameter increased from 300 feet to 3,000 feet to 30,000 feet, covering the entire Golden Court Mountain.

The sky turned blue.

The storm continued to wreak havoc above the astrolabe before silence finally returned to the sky.

When the dust settled, everyone looked up.

Nine out of the ten Templars were left. Their faces were pale, and their bodies were riddled with wounds. Their powers had been drained, and their cultivations had reverted to what they were before. They had been severely injured by the bushy-browed man’s explosion; it was only a matter of time before they died.

Just like that, the ten Templars died.

…

At this time, Ming Xin, who was sitting cross-legged in the Sacred Temple’s main hall, suddenly opened his eyes. He frowned slightly as he muttered, “You recovered so quickly? I’ve underestimated you.”

Then, an anticipatory expression appeared on his face as he continued muttering to himself, “I hope you’ll become stronger. Either you reconstruct the moon and the sun or the world will perish…”

Following that, he brought a red bead from the pocket on his chest.

The bead emitted a faint light before a projection appeared.

Shang Zhang, Little Yuan’er, and Conch appeared in the projection. They were at the upper core.

Upon seeing this, Ming Xin waved his hand. The bead dimmed, and the projection disappeared.

Then, Ming Xin closed his eyes and entered his formless meditative state.

…

After Lu Zhou put away his astrolabe, Jiang Aijian flew over and said, “Senior Ji, you’re amazing! You can even deal with ten divine emperors!”

Lu Zhou said, “You know they weren’t true divine emperors. Moreover, their raw strength was at most that of a lesser divine emperor. Moreover, their original cultivations were that of a Dao Saint or a Great Dao Saint at most. Perhaps, they would be stronger if they were supreme beings. Nonetheless, they were delusional to think they could deal with me…”

Jie Jin’an landed next to Lu Zhou and asked, “Have you returned to your peak?”

Lu Zhou did not know how strong the Unholy One was back then. However, his current strength was enough to deal with ordinary divine emperors. He thought that even the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands might not be a match for him.

His golden avatar had 36 Birth Charts, two light disks, and 12 leaves; his blue avatar had 36 Birth Charts, two light disks, and 14 leaves.

Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and looked at the sky before he said, “Maybe…”

Jie Jin’an said happily, “Congratulations!”

“It’s too early to congratulate me…” Lu Zhou said,

At this moment, Princess Mulberry flew over from afar. She said with a smile, “You’re amazing!”

Lu Zhou looked at Princess Mulberry and asked, “Have you gotten used to staying here?”

“Yes, I like it here very much,” Princess Mulberry replied with a nod.

Lu Zhou said, “Good…”

At this time, Jie Jin’an said, “Ming Xin sent the ten Templars here to test your strength. He should be satisfied now that his goal has been achieved.”

Lu Zhou said, “Ming Xin has many tricks up his sleeves. Those people were just cannon fodders to him.”

Jie Jin’an nodded. “It’s clear Ming Xin isn’t in a hurry at all. I really don’t know what he’s scheming…”

Jiang Aijian smiled and said, “If I were him, I would find a safe place to hide now!”

Upon hearing, Lu Zhou was reminded of the migration plan. He asked, “How were the nine domains while I was in seclusion? How’s the plan coming along?”

“There are many cultivators in the Great Void who are willing to participate in the migration plan. Perhaps, they’re afraid of Senior Ji, not many people chose to migrate to the golden lotus domain. Most of them went to the other eight domains. With the exception of the ten halls, a large number of cultivators are slowly leaving the Great Void. If another Pillar of Destruction collapses, I foresee there’ll be more people leaving. The problem now is the fierce beasts in the Unknown Land. There are many unintelligent fierce beasts that recklessly invade human territories,” Jiang Aijian said, “However, the cultivators that have already left the Great Void are helping to fend off these fierce beasts and deal with the conflict between humans and fierce beasts.”

Lu Zhou nodded. He thought about Ying Long, the Four Divinities of Heaven, and the Qin Yuan. Then, he said, “Jiang Aijian, go to the twin lotus domain and look for the Qin Yuan. I’ll go to the Unknown Land.”

“Senior Ji is wise. It’s much easier for fierce beasts to communicate with fierce beasts.”

…

Jiang Aijian left quickly to the twin lotus domain after accepting the mission.

The twin lotus had lost Chen Fu and lost the peace it had in the past. During these years, there were endless disputes, and the cultivation world had never been peaceful.

Fortunately, Chen Fu’s disciples were still around. Chen Fu’s first disciple, Hua Yin, had successfully attained the Dao and became a Saint. He had now become the new Saint and leader of the twin lotus domain.

Jiang Aijian’s first stop was the Autumn Dew Mountain.

When Hua Yin heard that the Evil Sky Pavilion had sent someone over, he quickly went out to receive the visitor.

Hua Yin asked warmly, “May I know why Brother Jiang came to the twin lotus domain? How’s Pavilion Master Lu?”

Jiang Aijian replied, “I’ve been ordered by Senior Ji to invite the Qin Yuan clan to help the Evil Sky Pavilion. Now that the world is in chaos, we need to help those from the Great Void to deal with the fierce beasts.”

Hua Yin asked skeptically, “The people from the Great Void have always been arrogant. Will they agree to this?”

“They don’t have a choice,” Jiang Aijian said before he explained, “With the plan, it doesn’t matter if the people of the Great Void are arrogant. If they dare to attack the people of the nine domains, Senior Ji and the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands won’t let them off so easily. In order to survive the collapse of the Great Void, the Great Void cultivators can only agree to our requests.”

Hua Yin nodded and said, “It’s indeed a good plan. With Pavilion Master Lu’s support, there’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s a pity that the twin lotus is short of manpower. Otherwise, I’d volunteer to go to the Evil Sky Pavilion.”

“You should stay in the twin lotus domain. Based on the current progress, the Great Void won’t be able to last 200 years. The nine domains must unite to deal with all kinds of variables,” Jiang Aijian said.

“Mm, Brother Jiang is right.”

“Time waits for no man. I won’t stay any longer,” Jiang Aijian said with a smile as he rose to his feet.

“I’ll bring you to the Qin Yuan clan. The Qin Yuans are ancient Saint slayers. Under normal circumstances, I, a Saint, don’t dare to go near them. However, with Brother Jiang or Pavilion Master around, it won’t be a problem.”

“Alright.”

…

The duo left the Autumn Dew Mountain and headed north.

The ancient formation in Fragrant Valley had long disappeared. The valley looked completely different from before.

After Hua Yin and Jiang Aijian appeared in the south of Fragrant Valley, Hua Yin said, “This is where the Qin Yuan clan lives…”

“It’s a good place,” Jiang Aijian sighed.

When the duo entered the Qin Yuan clan’s territory, many ‘human cultivators’ flew over. They were naturally Qin Yuans in human forms.

When they were stopped, Jiang Aijian said, “I’m here under the orders of the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion.”

Jiang Aijian’s voice was very loud and resonated throughout the entire place.

As soon as his voice fell, an excited voice rang from within the mountain.

“Lord Unholy One?!”

Buzz!

The Qin Yuan flashed appeared in front of everyone. When she saw that Lu Zhou did not come, she looked visibly disappointed. Then, she asked, “You’re sent by Lord Unholy One?”

Jiang Aijian tossed a talisman out.

The talisman dissolved before a recording of Lu Zhou giving the order appeared.

Upon seeing this, the Qin Yuan kneeled on one knee and said excitedly, “I definitely won’t disappoint Lord Unholy One’s high hopes!”

…

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou appeared in the sky above the Unknown Land on Whitzard’s back.

The Unknown Land was dark as usual.

“Old friend, you stayed in the Unknown Land for so long… I didn’t expect you to improve so much,” Lu Zhou said. He could sense that Whitzard had grown much stronger.

When he was in the Evil Sky Pavilion, the auspicious rain that Whitzard called forth had provided him with a lot of vitality energy. With the help of the other mounts, instead of losing 300,000 years to activate his final three Birth Charts, he only lost 100,000 years.

However, just like what he had learned in the Scripture of Sermons, forming one light disk cost a million years. He had formed two light disks, costing him two million years.

In other words, he now had roughly 30,000 Reversal Cards and 160,000 years left.

Lu Zhou sighed. “I’m afraid I’m the supreme being with the shortest lifespan in the world…”

Baa!

Whitzard let out a cry before it sped up, flying toward the abyss at Dunzang.

When they arrived above the abyss, Lu Zhou looked at the dark abyss that resembled a starry sky and sensed its power. Not much time had passed since he had last left this place; he wondered how Ying Long was doing in the abyss.

Lu Zhou paused for a moment before he called out, “Ying Long. I’m here to see you.”
