My Disciples Are All Villains-Chapter 1807 - The Other Function of the Heaven Suppressing Pestles
Now that all the upper cores of the ten Pillars of Destruction had shattered, the Great Void began to shake even more.
More and more cultivators rushed to leave through runic passages. However, they were soon horrified when they discovered the runic passages had begun to fail.
After a night of discussion, many cultivators finally came to a conclusion.
The Great Void and the Unknown Land were originally inseparable from one another. Now that the fall had begun, the balance was disrupted and naturally the circulation energy would be affected. It was like how a house would not be able to stand after the pillars collapsed.
…
Sacred Region.
At the top of a huge and strange-looking building.
Guan Jiu paced back and forth anxiously.
Soon enough, two figures streaked across the sky and landed on the building.
Guan Jiu and the Templars were momentarily stunned. After a moment, they quickly called out, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Ming Xin waved his hand, and Mingshi Yin landed at the side.
Guan Jiu frowned. “It’s you?”
Mingshi Yin smiled awkwardly and said, “What a coincidence. We meet again!”
......
Guan Jiu did not have a good impression of such a cunning person. He said, “I didn’t do a good job and let him escape. Please punish me, Your Majesty.”
Ming Xin did not blame Guan Jiu at all. He only said, “He’s the fourth disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Mingshi Yin. He’s very cunning. It’s not surprising he escaped from you.”
Mingshi Yin said, “Eh, I don’t think you can use the word ‘cunning’ to describe me.”
Ming Xin turned to Mingshi Yin and said, “This Tower of Heaven is where you belong.”
Mingshi Yin looked at the Tower of Heaven. Apart from its grandeur, there was nothing special about it. It looked just like an ordinary tower.
‘What a shabby place.’
Mingshi Yin said, “Actually, I had expected Lord Guan to come and capture me. However, I didn’t expect you to personally make a move. I’m very curious. How did you know where I was hiding?”
Among the ten disciples of the Great Void, Mingshi Yin was the only one who was unaccompanied when comprehending the Great Dao at the upper core. This was because he felt confident and also because he wanted to cooperate with Si Wuya’s plan. Alas, he did not expect to be captured.
Ming Xin sized Mingshi Yin up as he said, “Your cultivation method is very unique. It can be said that in the entire Sacred Region, only I alone can capture you.”
Upon hearing this, Guan Jiu’s eyes widened in disbelief. ‘This little bast*rd has such abilities?’
Mingshi Yin did not deny it. Instead, he nodded and said with a smile, “You praised me too much, Great Emperor. However, it seems like my little ability still isn’t enough.”
Ming Xin walked to the edge of the tower with his hands on his back and said, “I know what you’re thinking. Do you think you can escape?”
Mingshi Yin remained silent.
Ming Xin asked, “Do you know why I captured you?”
Mingshi Yin shrugged. “I don’t know.”
Ming Xin pointed at the Tower of Heaven and at the Sacred Region before he said in a heroic manner, “Everyone says the sky will fall. It will fall, but I think it’s the rebirth of the Great Void.”
“Rebirth?”
“This Tower of Heaven is the key to building the world,” Ming Xin said, “Do you know what it takes to build a world?”
“No.” Mingshi Yin shook his head again.
“Ten great laws,” Ming Xin clasped his hands on his back as he said confidently, “That’s all of you…”
Mingshi Yin said, “You want to rebuild the world so you want to capture all of us? You’re too naive. That’s impossible. Let me go.”
Ming Xin ignored Mingshi Yin’s rudeness and continued to say in a dignified manner, “You’ll become one of the contributors to the Sacred Region. This is your mission and destiny.”
“...”
Mingshi Yin’s heart began to race. He suddenly felt that Ming Xin was much harder to deal with than he had imagined. No matter what he said, it did not affect Ming Xin at all. He took a step back before he asked, “If you can protect the Great Void, why didn’t you make earlier preparations? Why did you let countless lives suffer?”
Before Ming Xin could speak, Guan Jiu scoffed and said coldly, “What do you know? We need ten of you to comprehend the Great Dao first. We’ve spent a lot of effort to make sure all of you comprehend the Great Dao as soon as possible. This matter had the utmost priority in the Sacred Temple.”
This was the truth.
Ming Xin looked at the vast and prosperous Sacred Region and said, “The Great Void is too big. I can only protect the Sacred Region…”
Mingshi Yin asked, “So you don’t care about the life-and-death of the ten halls of the Great Void or the survival of the nine domains?”
Ming Xin said, “Just like your master likes to say, what does their survival has to do with me?”
“...”
Mingshi Yin was rendered speechless. Indeed, this was something his master would say. In the end, he only laughed to cover the awkwardness and said, “Ten great laws, you said? You’ve only captured me. My master won’t sit aside and do nothing.”
Ming Xin seemed unmoved by these words. He sighed and said, “I’m amazed by your master. His luck is surprisingly good.”
“???”
Mingshi Yin was puzzled.
Ming Xin extended his right hand, and a mirror appeared with a flash of light. He said, “This is called the Sky Encompassing Mirror. No matter where you are, the mirror will be able to show you.”
“So exaggerated?” Ming Xin looked at the magical mirror in surprise.
Ming Xin said, “Those who have comprehended the Great Dao at the upper cores can’t escape from this mirror. I’ll personally capture all of them back.”
“...”
Mingshi Yin inhaled sharply. He did not expect Ming Xin, who did not make a move previously, would take this matter so seriously. After a while, he asked, “Are you so sure you can defeat my master?”
Guan Jiu’s expression was slightly unnatural when the Unholy One was mentioned.
Ming Xin was frighteningly calm. At this moment, the Sacred Region began to tremble, but his expression did not change at all. He only said tonelessly, “The honorable Unholy One, the Master of Grand Mystic Mountain who once ruled the world… He’s indeed a cultivator who can make everyone tremble in fear. However, I’ve prepared something special for him. I believe he’ll be satisfied…”
“...”
Mingshi Yin’s heart felt as though it was gripped by something. After a moment, he quickly flashed away.
Ming Xin did not move at all. He looked at the scenery quietly with his hands on his back.
Bang!
When Mingshi Yin reached the edge of the Tower of Heaven, he crashed into a transparent barrier.
Ming Xin said, “I spent 30,000 years to build ten Towers of Heaven. History will remember your great contributions. Your names will forever be engraved on the towers.”
With that, Ming Xin flashed and disappeared.
…
At this time, Lu Zhou appeared in the sky above the Evil Sky Pavilion. He did not waste time and appeared in the main hall of the Evil Sky Pavilion immediately. Then, he called out softly, “Gather.”
Although Lu Zhou’s voice was soft, the power it contained was extremely powerful. It resounded in the four pavilions of the Evil Sky Pavilion quickly.
The four elders, the guardians, and the left and right envoys, who had returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion, rushed over immediately. They entered the main hall at the same time.
“As expected, brother has returned!” Zuo Yushu said happily.
The others greeted in unison, “Greetings, Pavilion Master.”
“No need for formalities,” Lu Zhou said.
At this time, Si Wuya, Little Yuan’er, and Conch entered the main hall as well.
“Master!”
“Greetings, master!”
Lu Zhou nodded and asked, “Where are the others?”
Si Wuya said, “I was just about to report about this. Now that the Great Void has begun to fall and we’ve comprehended the Great Dao, Ming Xin will definitely put his plan into motion now and use us to achieve his goal. So, I’ve already come up with a plan.”
Everyone looked at Si Wuya.
“What plan?”
“Everyone,” Si Wuya said. He paused for a beat before he continued to say, “I think all of you know about the Heaven Suppressing Pestles. Apart from absorbing the power of the abyss, they have another important function. That’s to suppress the power of the abyss and prevent the earth from splitting…”
Everyone broke out in a commotion immediately.
No wonder Si Wuya was scheming for the Heaven Suppressing Pestles.
Legend had it that the collapse of the Pillars of Destruction would bring about not only the destruction of the Great Void but the earth as well. However, not many people knew about the other function of the Heaven Suppressing Pestles. This was also the reason Si Wuya was certain the earth would not be destroyed.
“Previously, I’ve obtained all of the Heaven Suppressing Pestles, except for the ones from the Great Abyss Land and Xihe Hall. I plan to distribute them to my fellow disciples and let them head over to the nine domains to suppress the power of the abyss in each of the nine domains. The pestles will be able to calm the earth. Apart from that, I can sense the runic passages are losing power. If we delay any further, we’ll have to fly there. That’ll waste too much time,” Si Wuya said.
Xuanyi Palace, Shang Zhang Hall, and Xihe Hall were allies of the Evil Sky Pavilion so it was not a problem to obtain their Heaven Suppressing Pestles.
Lu Zhou waved his hand casually and said, “These are the Heaven Suppressing Pestles of the Great Abyss Land and Xihe Hall.”
Si Wuya caught them in his hands before he said, “Ninth Junior Sister, take this. It’s the one from Ren Ding.”
Si Wuya handed the Great Abyss Land’s Heaven Suppressing Pestle to Little Yuan’er. The Great Abyss Land was the ancient name for Ren Ding.
Little Yuan’er looked at it in confusion. “Then, where am I going?”
“You don’t have to go anywhere for now. You’ll only need to move when the Great Void collapses completely,” Si Wuya said. Then, he turned to Conch and said, “Junior Sister Conch, you’ll take Heaven Suppressing Pestle that corresponds with Zhixu’s Pillar of Destruction. Go to the green lotus domain. I’ve already informed Venerable Master Qin about it. The White Emperor is also in the green lotus domain.”
“Mm.” Conch nodded.
Suddenly, a loud voice rang from outside the hall.
“Master! I’ve missed you so much!”
Everyone jumped in shock. They looked at the source of the voice.
Under the eyes of dozens of people from the Evil Sky Pavilion, Zhu Honggong was kneeling, bowing three times and kowtowing nine times. He cried out loudly as he did so.
Then, next to Zhu Honggong, there was a short and chubby man. He had a silly smile on his face as he kneeled along with Zhu Honggong.
“...”
Perhaps, everyone had gotten used to Zhu Honggong’s style, they no longer found it strange.
Jian Bing said reverently, “Lord Unholy One, I’m your most loyal and devout believer! I have finally met you!”
Lu Zhou: “...”
Everyone was speechless.
The combination of Zhu Honggong and Jian Bing truly made everyone speechless.
Lu Zhou said, “Rise to your feet and speak.”
“Thank you, Lord Unholy One!”
Zhu Honggong said with a smile, “When I heard the sky had begun to fall, I rushed back without wasting any time!”
Si Wuya said, “Eighth Junior Brother, you returned just in time. This is the Heaven Suppressing Pestle from Xihe Hall. It just so happens that the yellow lotus domain needs you. You and Jian Bing will go to the yellow lotus domain to calm the power of the abyss there.”
Zhu Honggong asked skeptically, “This thing can really suppress the power of the abyss?”
Si Wuya nodded. “Of course! Apart from that, you have to be wary of Ming Xin as well.”
Zhu Honggong patted his chest and said, “I guarantee that I’ll complete the mission!”
Si Wuya said, “Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and the others have already set off. There’s no time to lose. You should set off as well.”
After all, the runic passages were unstable now; they might stop working at any time. The earlier they set off, the better it would be.
Conch was a little hesitant. They had just returned but had to leave again. It was inevitable to feel reluctant to part with everyone.
“Go,” Lu Zhou said as he waved his sleeve.
At this time, Zuo Yushu said, “I’m a little worried. Why don’t we keep all of them by our sides? Aren’t we giving Ming Xin a chance if we do this?”
Si Wuya said, “That’s why we have to rely on master.”
In the end, they still had to depend on Lu Zhou to suppress Ming Xin. Without Lu Zhou, even if everyone stayed together, they would still be captured by Ming Xin. As long as Lu Zhou suppressed Ming Xin, the other matters were not a problem.
The Great Void was already falling, and the disaster was about to arrive. If the Heaven Suppressing Pestles were not brought to the designated locations before the runic passages stopped working, it would cause an even greater disaster.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lu Zhou also nodded and said, “We’ll act according to your plan.”
