Chapter 1364: Returning It to the Original Owner
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The cultivators did not know the name nor the surname of this Venerable Master.
This was supposed to be a day of celebration for all cultivators. After all, the green lotus domain had given birth to another Venerable Master, no, a Great Venerable Master, who was superior to the four Venerable Masters of the green lotus domain. However, their hearts beat uneasily in their chest when they recalled the golden astrolabe earlier.
It was normal that there were prejudices against cultivators of a different color domain. This was inevitable. For those with a narrow mind, they would discriminate without reason. There were those extreme cultivators who had once mindlessly protested against foreign domains by slaughtering thousands of people on the busiest street of Great Qin. This was not the first nor the last incident of extreme discrimination.
The cultivators grew even more nervous when they recalled that even Jie Jin’an who had stayed on the Soaring Peaks for ten years was also from the golden lotus domain. With this, their hearts beat even faster in their chests.
“Rise,” Lu Zhou said. He felt a little regretful that he did not use the Disguise Card earlier. Being famous was fine, but being recognized was a completely different story. In the future, there would be more and more fanatical fans.
At this moment, the bookie stepped forward and respectfully handed the blood ginseng to Jie Jin’an and said, “Senior, I lost.”
Unexpectedly, Jie Jin’an waved his hand and said, “Take it and divide it among yourselves.”
The bookie’s eyes lit up upon hearing these words. His hands trembled in excitement as he hurriedly said, “Thank you, senior!”
‘This nouveau riche is very magnanimous!’
Lu Zhou also did not expect Jie Jin’an to be so generous as well. The blood ginseng was rare and was useful for cultivation and stabilizing one’s Birth Charts. It was even useful to Venerable Masters.
At this moment, the bookie waved his hand.
All the cultivators said at the top of their lungs in unison, “Congratulations, senior! Congratulations! We wish for senior to be invincible and undefeatable in all battles and for thousands of generations to come!”
“Congratulations, senior! Congratulations! We wish for senior to be invincible and undefeatable in all battles and for thousands of generations to come!”
Lu Zhou frowned. He raised his hand. “Stop.”
The voices stopped immediately.
Lu Zhou felt as though these people were simultaneously possessed by his eighth disciple.
Jie Jin’an said, “You deserve this.”
“I deserve this?” Lu Zhou was puzzled. He looked at Jie Jin’an and asked, “Who are you?”
‘They didn’t know each other?!”
The cultivators were dumbfounded. Not only was the duo speaking so familiarly, but they were even from the golden lotus domain!
Jie Jin’an smiled. “That’s not really important. There are two things that surprised me today. First was your arrival, and second was when you successfully became a Venerable Master in just one try.”
Lu Zhou stared at Jie Jin’an, feeling like the old man in front of him was a super charlatan.
Jie Jin’an continued to say, “According to the agreement, I have something to return... Ah, wait, I mean I have something to give to the fated person…”
“...”
Lu Zhou looked at the bag in Jie Jin’an’s hands and said, “You better think this through. I’ve already said I’m not Lu Tiantong.”
“You’re the fated person, regardless of who you are. Since I’ve said I’d give it to you, how can I go back on my words?” Jie Jin’an said with a smile. A hint of slyness shone in his eyes.
‘This old fraud… What’s in the bag?’ Lu Zhou waved his hand, and the bag flew into his hand.
Jie Jin’an hurriedly said, “It’s best if you open it when you return.” Then, he raised his voice and said, “Everyone…”
After successfully attracting everyone’s attention, Jie Jin’an rose high in the sky. A golden light shone from his palm as an astrolabe covered the sky. An eye seemed to appear in the Birth Chart, staring down at all living things. Then, he said, “Forget all your troubles.”
The power of the Birth Chart shot down immediately from the sky.
Everyone looked up in confusion at the power of the Birth Charts that bloomed like fireworks in the sky.
Lu Zhou felt himself briefly go into a trance before his divine power pulled him back to his senses, dispelling the trance-like effect.
When the light vanished, Jie Jin’an was nowhere to be seen. It was as though he was never there.
Apart from the surroundings that had been razed to the ground, the rubble and debris had been cleared
The cultivators were stunned for a long time. One after another, they held their heads as though they were clearing their minds.
“Huh? What happened?”
“What am I doing?”
“Eh? Why am I kneeling?”
The young cultivator got up and dusted the dust off his knees.
“I don’t know why I have a niggling feeling that something big happened. Look at our surroundings… Do you remember anything?”
“I remember… I remember a mighty figure sweeping past this place, only leaving the two Soaring Peaks and the Sky Hook Ropeway intact…”
Lu Zhou. “?”
He was somewhat surprised that the cultivators seemed to have forgotten everything.
Some people wanted to remember for a lifetime while some people wanted to forget. Regardless, memories were one of the most precious treasures for humans.
‘How did he erase everyone’s memories with the power of his Birth Charts?’
Lu Zhou was reminded of Yong He’s ability to confuse the minds. In a way, it was similar to Jie Jin’an ability.
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back and turned to look at the Sky Hook Ropeway.
‘What’s the Impeccable Body? What did the Equalizer mean when he said the Unholy One has descended into the world? Why did the Equalizer suddenly interfere in the nine domains’ affairs? Where did Jie Jin’an come from? Where’s the Great Void? I should’ve captured him and tortured him for answers before he left…’
Lu Zhou had many questions but no answers. He waited for a while at the Soaring Peaks, but no one came to greet him. He sighed and flew down the mountain. The group of fanatical fans he had painfully cultivated was gone just like that.
…
It was abnormally quiet when Lu Zhou returned to the Qin clan’s southern training hall.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were still instructing Little Zhou and Little Wu as the two young cultivators sparred. Occasionally, they would demonstrate with their saber and sword.
Lu Zhou could see they had made great progress over the past five years as well.
When Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong saw their master hovering in the air at a low altitude, they hurriedly flew over. They bowed and greeted him. “Greetings, master.”
“Continue,” Lu Zhou said.
“Master, why don’t you give me some pointers?” Yu Zhenghai asked.
Yu Zhenghai was approaching his second Birth Trial. If he could receive guidance from his master, he would feel much more at ease.
Contrary to expectations, Lu Zhou said expressionlessly, “Learn it on your own.”
Yu Zhenghai. “??”
Yu Shangrong. “?”
Lu Zhou vanished into the training hall immediately after saying that.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong looked at each other in dismay.
Yu Zhenghai said seriously, “Master is old. The autumn air is chilly so it’s inevitable that he’ll be in a bad mood. As disciples, we can’t take this to heart.”
“You have a point,” Yu Shangrong said.
“Shall we continue?”
“Okay.”
The two of them flew into the distance.
…
At the same time, Lu Zhou brought the bag out. As he looked at the strange patterns on the back, he muttered suspiciously, “What’s in it?”
