My Disciples Are All Villains

Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Little Yuan'er, and Conch arrived first followed by Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, Kong Wen, and the others.

Lu Zhou asked Lu Li, "Did you recover your cultivation?"

Lu Li smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm lucky. However, I can break the limit…"

Lu Li seemed rather accepting of the fact.

"Manifest your lotus…" Lu Zhou said.

Lu Li nodded and manifested his lotus in front of everyone.

The black lotus caught everyone's attention. It was not very big, and the five Birth Charts in the Birth Palace were connected like five rings.

Lu Zhou could still vividly remember when he first saw Lu Li in the red lotus domain's Sky Wheel Mountain Range. Although it was just a Birth Palace with five Birth Charts, it seemed more dazzling than those with 10 or 12 Birth Charts.

Kong Wen sighed. "It's unfortunate that you can only activate five Birth Charts."

Everyone sighed as well.

"Innate talent determines the limit. Everyone has different numbers of Birth Charts they can activate. There's nothing we can do to change this."

Lu Li said with a smile, "It's nothing. If I fall into despair just because of this, then doesn't it mean those who are worse than me would want to kill themselves…"

Everyone chuckled.

At this time, Lu Zhou finally said, "It's not necessarily predetermined…"

Everyone was stunned.

Lu Wu looked at Lu Zhou and asked, "Are you going to use that method?"

During the past month, Lu Zhou had been observing the situation and surroundings with his power of sight. That was why he sent Lu Wu out after he discovered someone was secretly investigating this place. At that time, he had spoken to Lu Wu about Lu Li's Birth Palace and Birth Charts.

Lu Wu was a fierce beast that had lived for 30,000 years. It was likely that it knew of some ancient techniques.

Lu Wu continued to say, "That method is only something I heard about in passing. I advise you not to attempt that…"

"What method?"

Lu Zhou said, "Reconstructing the Birth Palace."

"Reconstructing the Birth Palace?"

Everyone was stunned and confused.

"Demolish the Birth Palace and reconstruct it with Great Void energy."

"..."

Little Yuan'er said in a small voice, "Master, the process must be excruciatingly painful…"

Lu Li frowned slightly.

Destroying one's Birth Palace was no different than destroying one's avatar. The fastest way to kill a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator was to destroy his or her Birth Palace. It was a terrifying and painful method.

"Don't worry. Master, I think we can give it a try," Yu Shangrong said as he waved his hand. Following that, a miniature golden avatar appeared in front of them.

Everyone knew Yu Shangrong was the first to sever his lotus. Nevertheless, most of them were still surprised to see the golden avatar without a lotus.

Yu Shangrong said to Lu Li, "It's not a big deal. If you fail, you just have to start all over again."

Lu Li nodded and bowed. "I'll leave it up to the Pavilion Master."

Lu Wu shook its head. "If we go to that place…"

Duanmu Sheng asked in confusion, "What place?"

"The Unknown Land is divided into the periphery, the inner depth, and the core. I don't know exactly how vast they are. According to legend, there were three Pillars of Destruction in each of the three regions. Including the pillar at the heart of the land, there are 10 pillars. The foot of the Pillar of Destruction is the fertile land where the Great Void Seeds grew…" Lu Wu said.

Everyone inhaled sharply upon hearing these words. They might be confused, but after hearing the words 'Great Void Seeds', a vague idea began to form in their minds.

"No one knows when the pillars were constructed nor do they know why they existed. Some people have speculated that the Pillars of Destruction contain the secrets to the heaven and earth's shackles…" Lu Wu said, "The only thing everyone knows is that the Great Void Seed grows at the foot of each pillar…"

"The place where Great Void Seeds grow? Isn't that the core of the Unknown Land?" Kong Wen's eyes widened in shock. He had been in the Unknown Land for so long, but he had never had the courage to go to that place.

Lu Wu swept its gaze across everyone as it asked, "Do you think only the Great Void Seeds are the only valuable thing there?"

Everyone was silent.

After a while, Kong Wen said, "Put the Great Void Seeds aside, people even fight over the soil there. There are many treasures there. When there was balance, perhaps, the situation was not too bad. With the imbalance now, rivers of blood will surely flow in that place…"

Upon hearing these words, Lu Li said, "Then, let's not go. I'm fine like this. Don't worry about reconstructing my Birth Palace with Great Void energy…"

Lu Zhou shook its head. "It's not just for you…"

If it was only to reconstruct Lu Li's Birth Palace, Lu Zhou could use one of his disciples' Great Void Seed to help Lu Li. Naturally, that was not ideal since it would expose the existence of the Great Void Energy, and he would also need to expend a lot of energy. The Evil Sky Pavilion currently had a high demand for advanced life hearts. Moreover, Lu Zhou needed to look for a suitable life heart to activate his 12th Birth Chart. There was no doubt in his mind that going to the Pillar of Destruction was the best choice.

Lu Li felt embarrassed for overestimating himself. 'Ancestor, can you not be so blunt?'

At this time, Little Yuan'er skipped to Lu Zhou's side and said, "I'll go wherever master goes…"

Although everyone knew Lu Zhou was unfathomably strong, they still felt slightly uneasy when they thought about going to that place.

At this moment, Lu Zhou recalled the scene of black lotuses falling from the sky that he had seen. He wondered if it was near one of the Pillars of Destruction?

"In the past, the black lotus domain and the white lotus domain organized several Great Void Expeditions and there was no lack of cultivators who wanted to participate. The previous expedition was organized by Lan Xihe. During that time, she obtained the blue crystal that contained remnants of the Great Void energy. The energy will be able to reconstruct your Birth Palace and raise your innate talent. It's far better than any treasure."

Everyone nodded.

Mingshi Yin asked curiously, "Master, isn't Lan Xihe an Equalizer? How can the Equalizer also participate in the Great Void Expedition?"

"The Equalizers are responsible for maintaining the balance. She took the blue crystals to prevent an imbalance from happening…"

"That's true. Those who possess Great Void Seeds will definitely become supreme beings. Then, there's no need for me to go, right?" Mingshi Yin muttered to himself. He had wanted to say that he had no use for the blue crystals since he had the Great Void Seed. Moreover, at this time, the new batch of Great Void Seed had yet to mature.

Lu Wu lowered its head and said, "That's right!"

Kong Wen was confused. "Mr. Fourth, we're talking about the Great Void energy. Aren't you tempted by it at all?"

"Why would I be tempted?" Mingshi Yin stepped forward and put his arm around Kong Wen's shoulders before he said with a smile, "Let me tell you a secret: I'm a future supreme being."

Kong Wen. "..."

Lu Zhou frowned and said, "I gathered all of you here to pass down my order, not to ask for your opinions."

Mingshi Yin's expression turned solemn before he hurriedly said, "I'm willing to go through fire and water for master. I'm willing to do anything!"

At this moment…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of the earth rumbling rang from the northwestern direction.

Lu Wu raised its head to have a look. Then, it shook its head and said, "They're here."

"They?"

Lu Wu slowly turned around and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you the Void Chest Tribesmen are coming…"

Lu Zhou smacked his hand down.

Bam!

The Pillar of Impermanence dislodged itself from the ground and turned into a golden needle before flying into Lu Zhou's sleeve. With that, the effect from the pillar vanished immediately, and the surroundings brighten slightly.

Following that, everyone followed Lu Zhou as he flew up into the sky. When they looked in the northwestern direction, they saw a gigantic Void Chest tribesman who was more than 30 meters tall leading many smaller Void Chest tribesmen over. Each time they moved their feet, the earth trembled.
