Chapter 1695: The Ten Classics (2)

 

Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu trembled upon hearing those words.

After a moment, Cult Leader Zhou said loudly, “Du Chun deserves to die! How dare he offend the Unholy One? He must be tired of living!”

Cult Leader Zhou’s heart beat wildly in his chest when he recalled his initial treatment of Lu Zhou. He was really glad that he was smart.

Chu Lian chimed in as well, “Who doesn’t know the Nihilistic Congregation only believes in the Unholy One? We’re all your believers!”

Although the main hall was vast, only a few dozen people were here. Apart from Cult Leaders Zhou and Chu, no one dared to speak at all. Although they used to be high and mighty, now they were as obedient as slaves.

Lu Zhou rose to his feet and placed his hands on his back as he said, “Believers?”

These ‘believers’ were only using the Unholy One’s name for their own interests. How could Lu Zhou not know this?

At this moment, Cult Leader Zhou’s eyes reddened and he said sorrowfully, “100,000 years have passed, and you have finally returned! 100,000 years! My lord, where have you been over the past 100,000 years?”

Lu Zhou looked at Cult Leader Zhou and said in a dark voice, “When I roamed the Great Void, I’m afraid you were still a child playing with mud. If you’re tired of living, I can send you on your way.”

Thud!

Cult Leader Zhou fell to his knees immediately and slapped himself. “My lord, forgive me! Please forgive me! I shouldn’t have asked that question!”

Everyone was naturally curious about where the Unholy One went, why he disappeared for 100,000 years, and how he came back to life. However, who would dare to ask these questions? There were things that did not have the right to ask.

With Cult Leader Zhou serving as an example, everyone’s curiosity disappeared with the wind. They only lowered their heads and looked at the ground. When they looked at Cult Leader Zhou earlier, they felt as though they were looking at themselves in the past. In the past, Cult Leader Zhou was high above most people and controlled the life and death of many. The world was truly unpredictable. In front of the Unholy One, no matter how high Cult Leader Zhou’s status was, he was no different from an ant.

The members of the Nihilist Congregation knew what the Unholy One meant. No one respected him more than them.

At this time, Lu Zhou said, “You’re all smart people. Don’t repeat the same mistakes again.”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

After Cult Leader Zhou retreated to the side, Lu Zhou continued to say, “I heard that the congregation has studied me for many years?”

The hall was completely silent. No one dared to answer. If they said the wrong thing, they might die, after all. If they remained silent, they would not make a mistake. Accompanying a person like the Unholy One was like accompanying a tiger. It brought with it great pressure and danger, making everyone uncomfortable.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou said, “Answer me truthfully.”

These were all foxes who had lived for tens of thousands of years, after all. There was a reason they had lived for so long.

Lu Zhou pointed at Cult Leader Zhou and said, “You.”

Cult Leader Zhou felt as though his heart had been stabbed. He jolted slightly before he took a step forward and said, “The Nihilist Congregation has been searching for traces of the Unholy One.”

“What did you find?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Back then, when you created Grand Mystic Mountain, the entire Great Void followed you. You left behind many cultivation techniques, weapons, and treasures. Everyone covets those things, and the congregation is no exception. Over the past 100,000 years, we’ve found ordinary weapons outside of Grand Mystic Mountain. We also found the Ancestral Jade in the ancient spatial formation. Apart from that, we found your painting in the Great Abyss Land…” Cult Leader Zhou replied truthfully, too afraid to lie. He felt like the Unholy One’s eyes could see through everything. In front of the Unholy One, everyone’s thoughts were laid bare.

The differences in their years, experiences, and cultivation were truly insurmountable. It was not just the difference between the strong and the weak. They would only look foolish if they played tricks in front of the Unholy One.

“Is that all?” Lu Zhou paced with his hands on his back.

Cult Leader Zhou kneeled on one knee and said, “I’m not lying. There are no clues about your four power cores, the Ten Classics, and your weapon. Their whereabouts remain a mystery until today.”

In the hall, only Lu Zhou knew that he had recovered the power cores under the mountains of Grand Mystic Mountain.

“Ten Classics?” Lu Zhou asked. Then, he added casually, “It’s been 100,000 years. There are many things that I don’t remember.”

Cult Leader Zhou said, “My lord, it’s normal that you don’t remember it. After all, you’ve left behind so many supreme treasures. I only know that the Ten Classics are all high-grade cultivation techniques. As for their whereabouts, the congregation doesn’t know either.”

At this moment, Cult Leader Chu raised his hand.

Lu Zhou said, “Speak.”

Everyone sighed inwardly. Was this person who had to raise his hand before he could speak still the same Cult Leader Chu they respected and revered? How tragic.

Cult Leader Chu said, “During the Great Void War, I was only a teenager. Later on, I was filled with awe when I heard the various legends about the Unholy One. I was motivated to become an expert like you. I…”

“Get to the main topic,” Lu Zhou interjected. He had long grown immune to flattery, after all.

Cult Leader Chu smiled awkwardly before he said, “Later on, I ordered people to search for the Ten Classics, and I found some clues.”

Cult Leader Zhou was so shocked that he exclaimed, “Didn’t you say that there were no clues?!”

Cult Leader Chu said, “It had nothing to do with you.”

“Very good! You just want it all for yourself!” Cult Leader Zhou said.

“It’s just some clues! You’re going too far by saying that!” Cult Leader Chu said.

“A clue is still a clue!”

“…”

The duo argued a little more before they realized the atmosphere was not right. They fell silent immediately.

The air froze.

Lu Zhou stood in front of his seat with his hands on his back as he stared at the bickering duo unblinkingly and silently.

The duo looked at each other awkwardly. They were used to being competitive and had forgotten themselves for a moment.

Finally, Lu Zhou broke the silence and said, “You may continue.”

‘If you don’t bicker, how can I obtain real information? Continue bickering!’

Humans were really strange. Even if the duo was not done bickering, once they were told to bicker, they immediately could not say anything.

Finally, Cult Leader Zhou bowed slightly at Cult Leader Chu and said, “Cult Leader Chu, please continue with your story.”

Chu Lian said, “I once searched near Grand Mystic Mountain for three years. After all, the ancient spatial formation is too dangerous. Coupled with the Sacred Temple’s people patrolling the place, I had to give up. Later on, I found a clue in a historical record in the Great Void’s Chong Guang Hall. It was stated that during the Great Void War, the Unholy One fought against the supreme beings of the ten halls. Space shattered, and time was chaotic. It was said that the Ten Classics fell through the cracks in space.”

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. He was curious about the Ten Classics the Unholy One left behind. What kind of classics were they?

Cult Leader Chu sensed that Lu Zhou was quite pleased when he spoke about the Nihilist Congregation’s research about the Unholy One and the results so he continued to say, “At that time, Emperor Chong Guang was still alive. I discovered later on that he was the one who wrote the historical record. This means the authenticity is quite high. Alas, 30,000 years after the Great Void ascended to the sky, which was also the time the first batch of Great Void Seeds grew after the land split, Emperor Chong Guang died. With that, my leads came to an end.”

“Is that all that’s written in the historical record?” Lu Zhou asked.

Cult Leader Chu: “…”

‘You should know your own matters better than everyone. Why are you asking me?’

Cult Leader Chu continued to say, “In the third year of the Great Void War, then ten celestial suns appeared. It was said that it was the result of my lord stopping time and tearing space apart to mark the Ten Classics with a character each to prevent them from being lost again.”

Lu Zhou’s expression was calm as he asked, “Do you think that’s true or false?”

“This… I don’t know.” Cult Leader Chu had always treated this matter as a story and had never taken it seriously. However, with the main character of the story in front of him, how could he admit that?

Lu Zhou sighed softly and said, “You know more than I thought. It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false.”

Cult Leader Chu felt that Lu Zhou’s killing intent had weakened a lot so he said tentatively, “T-the, the poem hides the ten characters that you left on the Ten Classics… Am I right?”

Lu Zhou recalled the poem that hid the characters Hai, Shang, Sheng, Ming, Yue, Tian, Ya, Gong, Ci, and Shi; which corresponded with the a character in each of his ten disciples’ names. Was it really true that they were also the characters left on the Ten Classics?

Cult Leader Chu said with a sigh, “Alas, the Great Dao in the painting is unfathomable, and we also can’t fully decipher the poem…”

‘I really want to know, but I don’t dare to ask! The answer is right in front of us, all we need is the courage to ask! Who has the courage to ask him on my behalf?’
