Chapter 1363: The Equalizer Again

 

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Swoosh!

 

The blue light on Lu Zhou’s body vanished and was replaced by a golden light.

 

The Soaring Peaks were now covered in snow. The snow kept falling, blocking the cultivators’ sight. Many of them flew into the sky to have a better look. Although they were excited and wanted to take a closer look, their instincts warned them to stay away from a fight between Venerable Masters or possibly someone even stronger.

 

Lu Zhou’s Dantian’s sea of Qi had been reconstructed.

 

A Venerable Master would return to his original state.

 

When his Dantian’s sea of Qi shattered, he felt as though he had become the most ordinary human. He felt the change in the temperature and was affected by the heat and the chill. He could keenly feel the frailty of his beating heart as his blood rushed through his meridians. He felt the warmth when he exhaled. When a cultivator reached a certain realm, they could abstain from food for a long time. They became impervious to heat and cold and did not even need to breathe.

 

When becoming a Venerable Masters, those feelings of old would come back.

 

Everyone’s body was made of flesh and blood; it was not something cultivation could change. With blood and flesh, life and death followed. The Equalizers were no exception.

 

Lu Zhou looked at the white-clad cultivator on the ground coldly. Without turning his head, he asked, “Great Venerable Master?”

 

Jie Jin’an laughed heartily. He could not stop for a long time. His laughter echoed between the Soaring Peaks. When his laughter finally subsided, he said, “I really didn’t expect this! Not only did you successfully cross the Sky Hook Ropeway with just a try, but you even became a Venerable Master! The reason Venerable Masters are Venerable Masters is due to the power of the Dao, which is the law of everything in the world. If your understanding of the laws surpasses your opponent’s, then you would become a Great Venerable Master.”

 

Lu Zhou continued staring at the white-clad cultivator as he nodded.

 

Jie Jin’an’s words were not difficult to understand. If two people were competing in flying speed, if their speed is the same, it would be pointless. Similarly, if one could freeze time but so could one’s opponent, the abilities would cancel each other out. Hence, when one’s comprehension of the law surpassed one’s opponent, one would naturally gain an advantage.

 

“What about Saints?” Lu Zhou asked.

 

Jie Jinan was stunned by this question. After a moment, he said, “Don’t aim too high. Although I don’t know how you became a Great Venerable Master, you should stabilize your cultivation base first. Don’t think you’re invincible just because you tossed an Equalizer to the ground.”

 

Swoosh!

 

Jie Jin’an flew to Lu Zhou’s side.

 

Lu Zhou could sense the old man did not harbor malicious intentions. He trusted his natural instinct and his keen sense as a Venerable Master. Moreover, there was no need for the old man to help him when he was passing the Birth Trial if the old man wanted to harm him.

 

Lu Zhou glanced at Jie Jin’an from the corners of his eyes and thought to himself, ‘Does he really know me? With such a high cultivation base, he shouldn’t be a fanatical fan of mine, right? Then, who is he? Where did he come from? What’s his purpose?’

 

Before Lu Zhou could give voice to these three questions, the white-clad cultivator suddenly shot into the air.

 

Jie Jin’an laughed before he said, “Don’t go.”

 

Jie Jin’an left countless afterimages in his wake, causing the void to ripple as he blocked the white-clad cultivator’s path.

 

Lu Zhou flew over and asked, “Tell me the truth. Why did you try to kill me?”

 

The white-clad cultivator pressed a hand against his chest as he looked at Lu Zhou and Jie Jin’an warily. He said, “You affect the balance of heaven and earth. I was ordered by the Sacred Hall to eliminate the variable that affects the balance.”

 

Jie Jin’an spat before he said, “Bullsh*t! The Sacred Hall has ordered that the Equalizers are not to interfere with the nine domains during the period of imbalance. You committed a great crime by coming here without permission!”

 

The white-clad cultivator frowned. He looked at Jie Jin’an and asked in shock, “You’re from the Great Void?!”

 

Jie Jinan said, “You can think whatever you want.”

 

The white-clad cultivator raised his hand and the long halberd flew into his hand with a swoosh. When he tightened his grip, his body shone with a golden light.

 

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou frowned. “You were from the golden lotus domain?”

 

“Do you think he can protect you?” The white-clad cultivator rushed over at top speed.

 

Lu Zhou felt a powerful void-tearing force coming at him. The gossamer-like divine power wrapped around him immediately. At the same time, it circulated in his body, neutralizing the void-tearing force. Then, he flashed and arrived in front of the white-clad cultivator and struck with his palm.

 

Bang!

 

Jie Jin’an landed on the ground at this moment. “You can’t escape.”

 

Jie Jin’an was incredibly fast. He kicked the Equalizer causing the Equalizer to spit out blood.

 

Meanwhile, the cultivators from the northern and southern Soaring Peaks flew over one after another, wanting to have a closer look.

 

They saw the Equalizer lying in a deep pit on the ground. His expression was very unsightly mixed with a hint of unwillingness as he said, “Great Venerable Master.”

 

Lu Zhou said, “Don’t try to resist. Your power of the Dao is ineffective against me.”

 

The Equalizer launched into a violent coughing fit, coughing out blood, before he said, “To think a new Venerable Master is also a Great Venerable Master. There’s no mistake: you’re the biggest cause of the imbalance.”

 

Lu Zhou frowned. “I’ll give you one last chance. You can answer my question or…”

 

The Equalizer shook his head as he looked at Lu Zhou and Jie Jin’an solemnly. Then, he lowered his head to look at the ground before raising it again to look at the sky as he murmured, “I’m the Equalizer, and I’m loyal to the Sacred Hall. I’m willing to sacrifice my life to get rid of all potential variables that might affect the balance. I’m the Equalizer, and I’m loyal to Sacred Hall…”

 

“Let’s go!” Jie Jin’an said.

 

When Jie Jin’an flew past Lu Zhou, Lu Zhou felt a gentle force bringing him up to the Soaring Peaks. He was about to protest when he saw the Equalizer suddenly explode in golden light. Then, a powerful force swept out in all directions. The light was like the sun, illuminating thousands of feet in just a blink of an eye.

 

Many cultivators hurriedly rose to the Sky Hook Ropeway while some hid behind the Soaring Peaks.

 

Those who were in distance, unaware of what was happening, were swept away by the terrifying force in just a blink of an eye. No one knew if they survived.

 

At this time, Jie Jin’an spun around and brought out a humongous astrolabe to cover their retreat.

 

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou said, “Let me do it!”

 

Lu Zhou exerted a little force and pulled Jie Jin’an over. Then…

 

Buzz!

 

An astrolabe that was even more dazzling than the sun blocked the Primal Qi storm.

 

The four Great Birth Charts resonated.

 

When the cultivators who were hiding heard the sound of resonance, they raised their heads and saw a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

 

An astrolabe as vast as the sky blocked the violent Primal Qi storm completely. The destructive force tore past the sides of the astrolabe like a huge flood while the two peaks stood firmly in the midst of the flood.

 

The violent storm lasted for a full 15 minutes before it gradually died down.

 

During this time, Lu Zhou sensed the power of 18 Birth Charts. Fortunately, the entire process was thrilling but not dangerous. He did not even need to use much of his divine power.

 

He admired his astrolabe. Every Birth Chart was the result of his painstaking effort. They all represented his growth. Now, he had finally become a Venerable Master.

 

When he was done, he put away his astrolabe and surveyed his surroundings.

 

During this quarter of an hour, Lu Zhou also felt the power and strength of the eighteen life signs.

 

The mountains, trees, and rivers were gone. Everything had been razed to the ground. The area within tens of thousands of feet was like a plain. There was nothing there except for the two Soaring Peaks and the Sky Hook Ropeway between them.

 

Many cultivators gasped as they looked at their surroundings in disbelief after surviving the disaster.

 

Jie Jin’an could not help but applaud. “You’re stronger than I thought.”

 

Then, Jie Jin’an flew toward the southern Soaring Peak.

 

Lu Zhou only unleashed his grand technique once and appeared in front of everyone in just a blink of an eye.

 

Almost instinctively, everyone fell to their knees in unison.

 

“Greetings, Venerable Master!”
