My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 1182: The Strange Formation

Indeed, it was better to go and have a look than to blindly speculate. Since the formation had something to do with Lu Tiantong, Lu Zhou could not just leave it alone. Perhaps, he could find some clues regarding the heaven and earth shackles there.

"Alright, come with me."

"Understood."

Following that, Lu Zhou and Lu Qianshan traveled went to the Hall of Runes and traveled to the black lotus domain through a runic passage.

Meanwhile, in the green lotus domain.

At the Clear Sky Mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, many disciples dressed in long robes could be seen raising their heads to look at the sky.

Two figures could be vaguely seen in the clouds.

The disciples could only see the two vague figures but could not hear any sound.

In the clouds.

"Brother Ye, I heard you went to the Unknown Land?" Venerable Master Qin calmly asked.

Ye Zheng looked at the clouds in the distance as he said, "As a dignified Venerable Master, you sure have a lot of spies everywhere. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"I don't feel it's a despicable thing nor do I think it's beneath me to do such a thing," Venerable Master Qin replied.

Ye Zheng said expressionlessly, "Let's talk about the Dao. There's no need to talk about other things."

"Just talking about the Dao is a bit boring. I heard that the forty members of the monster hunting squad were killed by that beast, Lu Wu?" Venerable Master Qin asked.

Venerable Masters were humans as well, and they were inclined to gossip as well. Perhaps, only in front of their disciples, they seemed high and mighty.

Ye Zheng said, "Their deaths have nothing to do with me. The monster hunting squad risked their lives all year round, it's not surprising they finally died."

Venerable Master Qin grew even more curious. "Is there a need for Brother Ye to personally make a move for a mere beast emperor?"

Neither one of them could clearly see each other due to being hidden by the thick clouds; they could only hear each other.

Even Venerable Masters could not shed the vulgar human habits. They could have the discussion in the pavilion, but to seem more otherworldly, they had to hover high in the sky to have a discussion. It was in fact a very meaningless act.

"When did the 40,000-year-old Lu Wu become so insignificant?"

"Is that why it escaped from you?"

"You really like meddling in other people's affairs," Ye Zheng said, annoyed.

Instead of being angry, Venerable Master Qin chuckled. "Then, shall we spar first?"

As soon as these words fell, swords, sabers, and all kinds of weapons in the hands of the disciples on the left flew up to the sky.

Not to be outdone, the weapons in the hands of the disciples on the right flew up as well.

They clashed noisily back and forth in the sky. There were so many of them that it was difficult to tell who had the upper hand. After a few dozen rounds, the weapons that filled the sky returned to the hands of the disciples following their original trajectory.

"100 years have passed, but you haven't improved at all," Venerable Master Qin said with a smile.

"I can say the same about you."

"So you want Lu Wu's life hearts?" Venerable Master Qin asked.

"It's unfortunate that beast is fast." Ye Zheng did not deny it.

Zhenren Qin said, "Aren't you afraid of being punished by the heavens?"

Ye Zheng knew the meaning behind Venerable Master Qin's words. However, he only said, "There's no need for you to worry about me.

"I have a suggestion," Venerable Master Qin said, unfazed.

"Just talk about the Dao. There's no need to talk about anything else."

"Then let's exchange a few more moves."

This time, an astrolabe appeared in the clouds on both sides.

Beams of light shot back and forth, and after a full fifteen minutes, the beams of light disappeared.

The disciples below were dazzled and sighed in awe.

Venerable Master Qin bluntly said, "I know you have clues about the Great Void Seeds…"

Ye Zheng frowned and said, "Old Fox... Don't think I don't know your Qin clan left so many runic passages on the other side to wait for the appearance of the Great Void Seeds."

"Do you really think that I'm as despicable as you? I'm strict on myself and abide by the Balance. I won't go over to the other side for no reason."

Ye Zheng scoffed. "If you don't want others to know of your dirty deeds, it's better not to do them at all. Do you think others are unaware that Qin Moshang's Birth Chart was destroyed by someone?" 

"That kid is just mischievous. I've already punished him. Since it's a junior of the Qin clan that made a mistake, don't tell me you, as an outsider, intend to discipline him?"

Fortunately, the two Venerable Masters were communicating through Voice Transmissions. Otherwise, if the disciples below could hear their conversations, their lofty image would be ruined. They did not sound like Venerable Masters at all; they sounded more like two shrews arguing.

Ye Zheng continued to say, "You're not the only one waiting for the Great Void Seeds. The Sacred Hall is waiting as well…"

The Great Void Seeds were lost 300 years ago. Since they could not be found, the others could only wait for them to appear. Everyone was waiting for them. After all, cultivators who possessed the Great Void Seeds were destined to be extraordinary.

"I'm afraid that some people are getting impatient. The fruits have yet to ripen, but they already can't wait to enter the orchard to harvest the fruits…" Venerable Master Qin said.

"Cut the crap. Let's get serious."

As soon as these words fell, two enormous avatars of unknown height appeared in the sky, towering over the land.

In the black lotus domain's Cold Breeze Valley.

When Lu Zhou and Lu Qianshan, who had flown here, arrived at the entrance of the valley, they saw many people flying back and forth. It looked rather lively.

"The formation is strange but harmless. Legend has it that Venerable Master Lu left the formation here when he was resting," Lu Qianshan said, "It's called the Nine Twist and Turn Formation. Once you step into the formation, the path will twist and turn, causing you to lose your way. Only cultivators at or above the Thousand Realms Whirling stage can reach the center of the formation."

"Cultivators at or above the Thousand Realms Whirling stage can reach the center of the formation?" Lu Zhou was puzzled. Since the difficulty was so low, it must not be some kind of heaven-shaking formation. He had thought he would need to make a move and shock the world again. After thinking about it briefly, he thought this was a good thing. After all, he did not like to show off and preferred keeping a low profile.

Lu Qianshan replied, "That's right. That's why I said there's nothing special about this formation. All the major sects have long studied it."

'Isn't this very boring then? Such a formation poses no challenge to me at all…'

The slopes of the valley were filled with dark green grass. Dark green grass stretched as far as the eyes could see. 

At this time, many cultivators were climbing up and down the slope. Some of the weaker ones did climb too high up before they were swept down by an invisible force.

Someone shouted angrily, "Again! Let's try again!"

Lu Qianshan pointed at the cultivators and said, "These are all disciples from major sects who came here to train…"

Lu Zhou nodded. After a moment, he asked, "What's that?"

At the end of the valley stood a stone pillar that was 30 meters tall. It looked like a thicker and stronger electric pole in the modern world.

"The finish line," Lu Qianshan said, "Those who are able to reach the finish line will be able to enter the Thousand Realms Whirling stage."

"Is that so?"

"That's what they say. I don't know if it's true. In front of Senior Lu, this formation is just child's play; it's not worth mentioning at all," Lu Qianshan said.

Lu Zhou sighed inwardly. Even if Lu Tiantong really left behind this broken formation, he was unlikely to find any clues in the formation.

"Senior Lu, why don't you give it a try?" Lu Qianshan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"Such a simple formation is boring. There's no need for me to try." Lu Zhou shook his head. It was akin to giving a math genius questions of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It was boring and meaningless.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

At this moment, many young cultivators who were halfway through their journey were suddenly knocked back and fell to the ground.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Again!"

Several more cultivators rushed in again.

Just like before, halfway through their journey, a gust of wind swept out like the waves from the sea and sent those few people flying back again.
