About an hour later.

Hua Zhenghong, Qi Sheng, and Zhu Honggong entered the hall respectfully.

After the trio greeted Ming Xin, Qi Sheng asked, “Your Majesty, may I ask what orders you have for us?”

Ming Xin rose to his feet and glanced at Qi Sheng and Zhu Honggong before he said, “Logically speaking, you’re the Commander of Tu Wei Hall so you don’t have to interfere in these matters. However, since you’re quite talented, I called you here to discuss them.”

“Please speak, Your Majesty,” Qi Sheng said.

Zhu Honggong laughed before he added, “Your Majesty, we’re a family. If you have anything, feel free to speak. I’ll climb a mountain of knives and cross a sea of fire to execute your orders!”

Ming Xin nodded. “Alright.” Then, he continued to say, “Ever since I took control of the Great Void, the world and the cultivation world have been peaceful and prosperous. However, the imbalance affected the ten Pillars of Destruction. Although the Sacred Temple wants to continue maintaining the world’s peace, it’s impossible to do it alone. Hence, we have to rely on the ten halls. I hope that everyone can work together to protect the Great Void.”

Ming Xin paused for a moment before he said again, “We should determine the ten commanders of the ten halls as soon as possible. For this matter, you’ll be in charge of coordinating everything. Go ahead and make the arrangements. I hope those who are commanders are the owners of the Great Void Seeds.”

Qi Sheng did not look surprised at all as he said, “Understood.”

Everyone had a chance to fight for the position of commander. The 12 Dao Saints of the Great Void were the strongest among all the Dao Saints. However, their growth naturally could not compare to those with the Great Void Seeds. It was most suitable for future supreme beings like the Great Void Seeds’ owners to take over the positions of commander. Moreover, if the Sacred Temple wanted to firmly control the ten halls and the nine domains, the commanders had to be powerful.

From a certain point of a view, Tu Wei’s death was in the Sacred Temple’s interest. For this reason, Ming Xin was willing to agree to the White Emperor’s request and help Qi Sheng become the Commander of Tu Wei Hall. From the way things were going now, it seemed like everything was going in the direction that the Sacred Temple was hoping for.

“The second matter is…” Ming Xin said calmly, “I know the ten halls have never been on good terms with each other. After Tu Wei’s death, Tu Wei Hall had been greatly weakened. You need to be more careful when you visit the other halls.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Honggong asked in confusion, “Your Majesty, Qi Sheng is under your command. If they make an enemy out of Tu Wei, isn’t it tantamount to making an enemy out of you? Who would dare to do such a thing?”

Ming Xin said, “When you’re in my position, the politics are very intricate, and there are many things that are out of my control. Do you understand?”

Zhu Honggong scratched his head and said, “I don’t understand. I only understand one thing: whoever stands in my way, I’ll smash them with my fists.”

Hua Zhenghong coughed.

Zhu Honggong restrained himself for a moment before he grinned and said, “I’m just joking. I’ll convince the masses with virtue and reason.”

Ming Xin continued to say, “The third matter is the disturbance in Xuanyi Hall. Zhu Honggong, I’ll send you to Xuanyi Hall to investigate the cause of the disturbance.”

Zhu Honggong asked, confused, “Xuanyi Palace… is so far away. We can just ask Xuanyi Palace to send their people over to report to the Sacred Temple. Why must we go there?”

Hua Zhenghong replied, “There are many things we need to do ourselves to determine the truth.”

Zhu Honggong said, “Alright, I understand. Leave this to me. I guarantee that nothing will go wrong.”

“Go,” Ming Xin said with a wave of his hand.

After that, Qi Sheng and Zhu Honggong left the Sacred Temple together. When the duo was a distance away from the Sacred Temple, Zhu Honggong glanced at Qi Sheng and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll continue to act according to the plan. I won’t act rashly.”

Qi Sheng nodded. “Whether you can become the commander of one of the halls depends on your talent. I can only advise you. Apart from that, the Great Void isn’t as peaceful as you think. You’ve been a little too high-profile recently.”

Zhu Honggong rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t lecture me with such a tone.”

Qi Sheng continued to say, “Remember, you have to obtain all the Heaven Suppressing Pestles from the Pillars of Destruction. After all, I can only protect you for a while, but I won’t be able to protect you forever.”

“Alright,” Zhu Honggong replied as he flew up. Then, he suddenly turned back and said, “Don’t worry. You’re just like my Seventh Senior Brother. Do you really think I’m stupid?”

With that, Zhu Honggong flashed and disappeared into the horizon.

Qi Sheng nodded before he turned to leave.

…

In the Dark Hall’s Dao hall.

The sun was setting in the west.

Lu Zhou brought out Teng She’s divine soul pearl. The divine soul pearl looked like a dark pearl, and it emitted an icy and powerful aura.

At this moment, Lu Zhou was faced with a dilemma: should he use the divine soul pearl on his golden avatar or blue avatar?

His golden avatar had 32 Birth Charts and was only 4 Birth Charts away from reaching the upper limit.

On the contrary, his blue avatar was lagging too far behind. If it were too weak, it would also affect his overall strength. Thinking of this, he brought the blue avatar out. After all, his strength could no longer be measured by the golden avatar alone.

Although he called it the blue avatar, the fact was as he continued to comprehend the divine Dao power, the blue avatar had already taken on much of the appearance of the golden avatar.

Lu Zhou inserted Teng She’s divine soul pearl into the blue avatar’s Birth Palace.

Click!

At this moment, the surface of the blue lotus seat was like a pool of spring water, absorbing the divine soul pearl.

Since he did not plan to reuse it, he had no need to take the divine soul pearl out.

The lotus seat was as reflective as a mirror. It was as though the universe was reflected in it at this moment. Spots of light like the stars began to shift on the lotus seat.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou was slightly surprised. “The Birth Charts can be moved at will?”

As it was, it was already quite abnormal that his avatar had so much mobility, but it was surprising that his Birth Chart could be moved around as well.

“Considering how much freedom of movement the blue avatar has… Does it have an indestructible body?”

Lu Zhou’s eyes lit up as a bold idea appeared in his mind. He raised his hand, and Unnamed in the form of a sword appeared immediately. Then, he aimed the sword at the blue avatar.

“…”

‘This seems a little suicidal…’

After thinking about it for a moment, Lu Zhou gently drew Unnamed across the edge of the lotus seat.

Swoosh!

It was as though the lotus seat was truly a pool of water. When Unnamed drew across it, it quickly mended itself and returned to its original state.

“This…”

Swoosh!

Lu Zhou brandished Unnamed again.

A gash appeared on the lotus seat, but then, it was quickly mended. It only took a breath for it to revert to its original appearance.

‘The avatar is indestructible?’

Lu Zhou put Unnamed away before he pushed a hand out.

Bang!

When the palm seal landed on the lotus seat, just like before, it quickly mended the damage.

After a few more simple tests, Lu Zhou understood that although the blue avatar could mend damages, it would still be pressured when faced with the laws from the power of the Dao.

Nonetheless, this surprise was already good enough for him. There were no cultivators who were not afraid of their avatars getting damaged, after all. The blue avatar only had seven Birth Charts now; would it not be terrifyingly strong once all 36 Birth Charts were activated?

Buzz!

At this moment, the lotus began to spin.

“Second stage?”

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. The benefits of cultivating in the abyss for 100 years far exceeded his expectations. One of them was that the activation of Birth Charts had become incredibly smooth.

Seeing that he had successfully entered the second stage of the Birth Chart activation, Lu Zhou closed his eyes and continued to comprehend the Heaven Scroll of the Heavenly Writing.

Long after the sun set, Lu Zhou heard a long-awaited system notification.

“Ding! After comprehending the Heaven Scroll of the Heavenly Writing a hundred times, you’re rewarded with a Heavenly Power Upgrade Card.”

“Ding! When you use the Heavenly Power Upgrade Card, you can increase the strength of your Heavenly Writing powers.”
