BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1799 - Five Light Disks
Chapter 1799: Five Light Disks
When Lu Zhou was studying on Earth, he had only seen such a scene in sci-fi movies or read about it in books about the wonders of nature. Although he was now a supreme being with two avatars, he could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart when he saw the unprecedentedly huge maelstrom.
Kun Peng slowly lowered its altitude. It did not dare to get close to the surface of the water. It made a gurgling noise as though it was unwilling to go any closer.
“Have you been here before?” Lu Zhou asked.
Kun Peng was silent.
The sky, the sea, and the maelstrom… They looked like they were from a vivid and colorful painting.
The slowly churning maelstrom was strangely calm. Who knew what kind of untold power hid behind the calmness?
The slowly rotating whirlpool was unusually calm. Behind this calmness, it was unknown what kind of power was hidden.
The Unholy One and Ming Xin had both come to the Great Maelstrom, and they both became the world’s peerless experts.
The Unholy One was unrivaled in the world, but he had fallen in the pursuit of eternal life.
Ming Xin founded the Sacred Region that prospered for 100,000 years, ruling the Great Void.
What kind of fortuitous encounters did they find in the Great Maelstrom to have such achievements?
Wu!
Kun Peng let out a cry that was devoured by the sound of the maelstrom. It seemed like it was trying to communicate something.
......
Lu Zhou looked at Kun Peng’s broad back and asked again, “Have you been here before?”
Kun Peng flapped its wings.
Lu Zhou tried to guess its meaning and said, “Are you saying that the ability of Kun to transform into Peng, and thus becoming Kun Peng is obtained from the Great Maelstrom?”
Wu… Wu…
Kun Peng moved its body.
“...”
Lu Zhou felt incredulous when he received the answer to his question.
‘To think the Great Maelstrom is so amazing… Then, why didn’t the cultivators from the world come here?’
Lu Zhou looked around. Apart from the sea that stretched endlessly, there was no one. In this place, it was truly difficult to determine the directions.
The sun seemed closer here. It was as though one could touch it with just a raise of one’s hand. Perhaps, due to the churning maelstrom, the temperature was not that high.
Lu Zhou relied on Kun Peng to bring him here.
”Then, how did Ming Xin get here? Where is Ming Xin?’
These questions lingered in Lu Zhou’s mind as he lightly tapped his toes and left Kun Peng’s back. The golden lotus bloomed under his feet and brought him to the sky above the Great Maelstrom. If one were to shrink the eye of the maelstrom, it would be like a dark bowl that was constantly leaking water.
Wu…
Splash!
Kun Peng moved its body.
The wind surged as the sea water splashed into the sky.
Lu Zhou turned around and asked, “Where are you going?”
Kun Peng’s eyes were focused on Lu Zhou. This time, without much effort, he knew it was afraid. It probably did not dare to enter the maelstrom again. He could not force it so he could only say, “Then, you can wait outside.”
Lu Zhou still needed Kun Peng to bring him back, after all.
After Lu Zhou spoke, Kun Peng flapped its wings and rose high up into the sky.
In contrast, Lu Zhou moved closer to the whirlpool. Although he had experienced many things, his heart still could not help but beat faster when he looked at the whirlpool. If he had a phobia of the deep sea, he would not have been able to stay here for more than half a second. He could not see below the surface of the sea at all. It looked much scarier than the abyss at Dunzang.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At this time, Lu Zhou heard a buzzing noise from inside the maelstrom.
Nature was truly magical.
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou decided to go down and have a look. He stepped on his golden lotus and slowly descended. The light from the golden lotus shone in all directions.
When Lu Zhou descended into the maelstrom, he saw that it was like a huge waterfall on his left. If it were not for the churning water, he would not be able to tell he was in the maelstrom. On the right was only endless darkness; nothing could be seen.
After a beat, Lu Zhou accelerated his descent.
Buzz!
The buzzing noise rang again.
Lu Zhou launched a few energy seals. Alas, it was too dark, and nothing could be seen.
Lu Zhou shook his head slightly and controlled his golden lotus.
After a few breaths, from the darkness on the right, a faint voice said, “You’re finally here.”
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
A figure appeared and disappeared. From the brief moment it appeared, Lu Zhou saw a smile on the figure’s face, and its body shone with light. It seemed to be standing with its hands on its back.
Lu Zhou turned around. “Ming Xin?”
“I thought you might come, but I didn’t expect you to come so quickly,” the voice said, seeming like it came from a distant place.
Lu Zhou noticed that Ming Xin spoke in a very polite and respectful tone. He nodded inwardly. Since Ming Xin was here, then his disciples should be able to comprehend the Great Dao safely.
“Since you’ve been hiding from me, I naturally have to come and look for you,” Lu Zhou said.
A sigh from the darkness.
After a while, Ming Xin asked, “Are you afraid I’ll attack the ten owners of the Great Void Seeds?”
Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back before he used his great power of teleportation, following the direction of the voice. He teleported 3 miles into the darkness and another 30 miles after. Ming Xin could not be found in the darkness.
Ming Xin sighed again and said, “You’re the same as you were 100,000 years ago. You haven’t changed at all.”
Lu Zhou raised his voice and said in a commanding tone, “Show yourself.”
Ming Xin’s tone changed as he asked, “Do you think you can defeat me?”
“You have the answer to that. Otherwise, why are you hiding from me?” Lu Zhou asked.
Ming Xin said solemnly, “You seem to have forgotten many things. The Great Void has already begun to fall, and time is limited. I hope this place will satisfy the honorable Unholy One.”
Buzz!
An astrolabe appeared at the entrance that spanned 6,000 miles.
Lu Zhou raised his head. His eyes shone with a blue light as he looked at the majestic astrolabe that had a diameter of more than 6,000 miles. After a moment, he asked, “Did you deliberately lure me here?”
Ming Xin did not reply.
An avatar stood proudly above the astrolabe, blocking the entrance.
The astrolabe buzzed again.
Lu Zhou raised his hand to the sky and manifested his golden avatar before launching a huge palm seal at the astrolabe.
Boom!
The shockwave rippled out in all directions, and when it hit the left of the maelstrom, it disappeared completely.
“Hm?” Ming Xin sneered before he said with a hint of mockery, “Honorable Unholy One, please don’t go easy on me.”
Lu Zhou’s next palm seal burst forth with the full force of the divine Dao power. The force from the palm seal doubled immediately.
Boom!
The astrolabe was pushed away this time, allowing sunlight to shine into the maelstrom again.
Boom!
In the next breath, 36 beams of light shot down from the astrolabe immediately, crashing against Lu Zhou’s palm seal. Similar to before, the shockwave was absorbed by the maelstrom.
Lu Zhou looked down and saw a faint blue flashing. It only appeared for a moment before it disappeared like an illusion.
‘What’s that?’
Lu Zhou did not have time to investigate it now.
Ming Xin praised, “Lord Unholy One, you’re as powerful as ever. Unfortunately, I can’t have a good fight with you today. We’ll meet again.”
“You think you can escape?” Lu Zhou stepped on his golden lotus and rushed up. However, a huge pulling force surged out from the maelstrom.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The maelstrom seemed to churn faster. It increased by 100 times, 1,000 times, and 10,000 times.
Ming Xin’s voice rang from above.
“Every once in a while, the Great Maelstrom will erupt with the power of the laws. The laws are supreme here! No divine emperor in the world can resist it.”
After saying that, Ming Xin left the range of the Great Maelstrom and rose higher into the sky before looking down again.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou was pulled down by the supreme power in the Great Maelstrom. The water flowing clockwise at the entrance seemed to have sealed him in. He could vaguely see Ming Xin flying away.
Lu Zhou transmitted his voice telepathically and said, “Do you think the Great Maelstrom can trap me?”
Water Lotus Storm!
Water lotuses burst forth from the golden lotus and flew in all directions, trying to break the power of the maelstrom. Alas, it seemed incapable of breaking the power of the Great Maelstrom.
“This…”
Lu Zhou frowned.
‘Do I have to roll over and give up? I just bragged so much, but I failed to do it?’
Lu Zhou rushed up again.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
If he really could not break free, he could only wait for the power of the Great Maelstrom to return to normal. However, it was truly not his style of doing things.
Suddenly, an unexpected scene happened.
Lu Zhou was suddenly pulled down by tidal power from the depths of the maelstrom. His surroundings seemed to have turned blue as he continued to fall.
“This is bad! The law from the Great Dao?”
Each place had its laws. The Great Maelstrom was no exception. Since he was weak, he could only comply.
Lu Zhou was pulled down at lightning speed. He was facing the sky, and he could see the light getting dimmer and dimmer until it was pitch black. He could feel the space tearing, and the waves seemed to be messing with his will and cognition. His mind was under unprecedented pressure. He felt as though countless vines were tied to his limbs, making him unable to move.
He tried to make the golden lotus spin to separate himself from the power here, but the golden lotus only spun a few times before it stopped. He continued to fall in the darkness.
Soon, it felt as though he was dreaming. His ears grew numb to the chaotic noises until they began to ring, and he could not hear anything else.
After who-knew-how-long had passed, Lu Zhou heard a voice.”
“Supreme ruler, I hope you can live forever!”
His head was a little muddled, but he tried to look for the source of the voice.
Then, he heard a different voice saying, “Lu Zhou, don’t be late today.”
Lu Zhou opened his eyes. His eyes shone with the divine Dao power as he looked around for the sources of the voices. In the darkness, he seemed to see a blue mercury-like thing. He seemed to see an image that appeared fleetingly above the mercury-like thing.
“Ji Tiandao, you’re already injured. Stop pretending! It’s your honor to die at the hands of the ten great sects!”
‘What happened? What am I hearing? The past? The future?’
Lu Zhou was confused. He could sense the law of time and the law of space surging.
An eight-leaf golden lotus flashed past and disappeared.
“Hai, Shang, Sheng, Ming, Yue, Tian, Ya, Gong, Ci, Shi. The bright moon shines over the sea; from far away we share this moment together. This is a very good poem! When I return to Grand Mystic Mountain, I’ll use it to hide the Ten Classics!”
The images of the Ten Classics flashed past.
“Hey, that young man keeps talking like he’s an old man and claiming that he can fly every day. He’s nowhere near being mentally stable enough to be discharged from the hospital. He still has a long way to go on the road of recovery…”
Lu Zhou saw a young man dressed in blue and white striped clothes behind the doors.
“That person’s very good at concealing weapons. If it weren’t for the fact that my cultivation is weakened, you wouldn’t have been able to injure me!”
Lu Zhou did not know how long he had fallen, and his mind was confused. He could not distinguish what was real and what was an illusion.
“Divine emperor… Please give me a name.”
“A name is just a name. You can choose from one of these ten words that I personally selected. In the future, you’ll be a divine emperor and protect mankind…”
The images and voices were chaotic; there was no rhyme and reason.
The laws of time and space seemed to have fused.
All of a sudden…
Boom!
The light disk pearl on the golden lotus seat shattered.
The first light disk appeared, shattering the images that confused Lu Zhou.
When the second light disk appeared, the pieces of the shattered images that were like stars were devoured.
Following that, the third, fourth, and fifth light disks appeared at the same time.
At this moment, Lu Zhou suddenly became clear-headed. He felt a cool sensation sweeping through his body. At the same time, the power of the maelstrom that restrained him was successfully broken by the last three light disks!
