Jiang Wenxu stood next to the Scales of Justice, carefully examining it.
“There should always be balance in the world. With this scale, we can measure heaven and earth, ensuring the peace of the world.”
“Well said.”
A figure that rippled like the water hovered 3 feet above the steps of the Sacred Hall.
Jiang Wenxu bowed. “Hall Master.”
The water-like figure was the Hall Master of the Sacred Hall.
“For what reason did you come today?” the Hall Master asked indifferently.

“3,000 silver-armored guards have been annihilated. I hope the Hall Master can seek justice for me.”
“Lalready know about this,” the Hall Master calmly said, “Previously, the Silver Guards and Dark Guards fought, resulting in many casualties. Then, the Silver Guards were attacked by a divine beast. Life is truly unpredictable.”
Jiang Wenxu asked, “Didn’t the ten halls have a peace agreement with the fierce beasts? Why did the divine beast kill the Silver Guards?”
The Hall Master sighed. “100,000 years ago, the land split. The Great Void used the Pillars of Destruction as a foundation to rise to the heavens. Since then, humans were separated from the beasts and other races. The ten halls do have an agreement, but an agreement is just an agreement. It can’t restrict
all fierce beasts.”
“Then, are the deaths of the 3,000 Silver Guards in vain?” Jiang Wenxu said, clearly unwilling to accept this.
“Twill personally negotiate with the Dark Guards. As for the Unknown Land…” The Hall Master paused for a moment before he continued to say, “Let’s wait a little longer.”
“Wait?” Jiang Wenxu was perplexed. He said, “Now that the imbalance has worsened, the ten halls are becoming more and more unreasonable, completely disregarding the Sacred Hall. If we wait any longer, I’m afraid they’ll rebel!”
The Hall Master still remained calm when he heard Jiang Wenxu’s words. He stared at Jiang Wenxu unblinkingly and said, “Rebel?”
Jiang Wenxu said, “If Xuanyi Palace’s Dark Guards dared to attack the Silver Guards, who’s to say they won’t dare to attack the Sacred Hall in the future? It has been 100,000 years. The Sacred Hall is above the ten halls and rules over the Great Void. Now that 100,000 years have passed, I’m afraid the ten
halls probably want a change. I hope the Hall Master will reconsider.”
The Hall Master looked at Jiang Wenxu quietly, making Jiang Wenxu feel guilty.
After a while, the Hall Master said, “It’s been more than 400 years, but the last batch of Great Void Seeds is still missing. Someone received news that there’s a golden lotus cultivator in the Unknown Land that possesses the Great Void Seed. Do you know about this?”
Jiang Wenxu shook his head and answered honestly, “I don’t know about this.”
“After possessing the Great Void Seed for 400 years, logically, one’s name should have resounded through the nine domains. Moreover, the imbalance has worsened, but why are the nine domains still at relative peace?”
“If even the Hall Master doesn’t have the answer to this, how can I know then,” Jiang Wenxu replied.
“All of you like sending your projections to the nine domains so how can you not know about this?” the Hall Master asked.
Jiang Wenxu hurriedly said, “I don’t know about those from the ten halls, but I only sent my projection to the golden lotus domain to maintain the balance. I wanted to make sure the nine domains didn’t break the limit.”
The Hall Master nodded before he asked, “Then, where are the ten Great Void Seeds?”
“This…” Jiang Wenxu thought about it for a moment before he said, “Maybe those who obtained the Great Void Seeds are hiding and cultivating.”
“The world is vast, but everything is weighed by the Scales of Justice. Where can they hide?” the Hall Master asked.
“Perhaps, a place like Mount Halcyon?” Jiang Wenxu replied.
“Perhaps…” The Hall Master sighed again. “Have you heard any news recently?”
“No.” Jiang Wenxu was puzzled.
“Someone said he’s back.”
Jiang Wenxu was shocked by the Hall Master’s words. Then, he frowned and said, “Who’s talking nonsense? It’s impossible for him to return. He was sent to hell and will never be able to return!”
There was only silence after Jiang Wenxu finished speaking.
The Hall Master did not say anything and stood in front of the hall with his hands on his back.
Jiang Wenxu stood in place, unwilling to leave. He had come here to seek justice for the deaths of the 3,000 Silver Guards.
At this moment, the Hall Master said ambiguously, “Jiang Dongshan is dead. You should remember this lesson well.”
Whoosh!
The water-like rippling figure vanished into thin air.
Jiang Wenxu’s eyes widened as he looked at the entrance of the Sacred Hall. His heart thumped violently in his chest, and he felt as though he was standing on needles. When he regained his composure, he bowed and said, “I will remember the Hall Master’s teachings.”
With that, Jiang Wenxu left as well.
After a moment, a voice rang from the Sacred Hall.
“Holy Maiden.”
Lan Xihe flew over from afar and landed in front of the Sacred Hall. She said with a smile, “I really can’t hide from the Hall Master.”
“Congratulations on becoming a Dao Saint.”
“Thank you, Hall Master. It’s all thanks to the Hall Master’s kindness that I’m able to achieve so much.”
“If Chong Guang were still here, he would’ve been very happy,” the Hall Master said gently.
Lan Xihe nodded slightly. “Xihe is still far from becoming a supreme being, but I’l try to become a supreme being soon.”
“The reason I gave you the Great Void Seed back then was because of your talents and character. I hope you won’t disappoint me,” the Hall Master said directly.
Lan Xihe said, “T’ll do my best to live up to the Hall Master’s expectations and kindness.”
A satisfied and gentle laughter rang from the hall.
“Alright, go. You shouldn’t be too hasty regarding the matter of the successor of the White Tower Council.”
Lan Xihe’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing these words. When she recovered her senses, she replied, “I understand.”
Then, Lan Xihe tured to leave, feeling suspicious.
In the Unknown Land.
With the Divine Fire Phoenix’s abnormally fast speed, it only took less than a month to reach 300 miles south of Dunzhang.
Let alone other fierce beasts, even other same beasts avoided the Fire Phoenix during their journey.
They did not head to Dunzhang’s Pillar of Destruction immediately. Instead, they stopped at the ruins.
Lu Zhou planned to use the Fire Phoenix’s life heart to activate his Birth Chart first so he could return it to the Fire Phoenix as soon as possible.
Before settling down, they searched the ruins for a long time to ensure it was safe. Then, Lu Zhou told Zhao Hongfu to construct a runic passage and set up a formation to conceal the ruins from detection.
Only after doing all that did everyone rest.
Since the Fire Phoenix had yet to regain its life hearts, how could it leave? Thus, it quietly stood guard nearby.
With this, the Evil Sky Pavilion gained a super bodyguard for nothing.
At night.
After Lu Zhou dismissed everyone, he began to cultivate alone.
He did not expect to activate the 24 Birth Chart so quickly. It would be difficult to activate the Birth Chart closest to the fourth Birth Trial, Although the ancient formations had helped him stabilize his foundation somewhat, he still felt that it was too soon.
As for Little Yuan’er, he was not worried about her. If he did not raise her, he would have thought she was a bug or a cheat.
“Thope my Birth Palace will expand after I activate my 24th Birth Chart,” Lu Zhou muttered to himself as he looked at his crowded Birth Palace.
Then, Lu Zhou inserted the fiery-red life heart into the position in the earth region that was called Voracious Fire.
Under normal circumstances, it was best to activate a Great Birth Chart with the life heart of a divine beast. It would be even better if the life heart was placed in the heaven region. However, Lu Zhou did not lack life hearts. Moreover, Voracious Fire was very suitable for the Fire Phoenix’s life hearts; the
benefits were even better compared to if he had activated it in the heaven region.
A crisp noise rang out.
Then, Lu Zhou used Ice Seal to keep out the heat before he used the Purple Glazed Ceramic to easethe great pain caused by the activation of the Birth Chart.
This time, Lu Zhou did not use the Pillar of Impermanence.
After spending 100 years in the ancient formations, he was warier about using the Pillar of Impermanence. Perhaps, it was not a good idea to exchange life for cultivation.
“Til use the pillar to upgrade my blue avatar instead.”
Another crisp sound rang out, indicating the activation of the Birth Chart had entered the second stage.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction at how smooth things were going as he pulled the half-embedded life heart of the Fire Phoenix out of his Birth Palace..
