Chapter 1500 Killing Intent (1)
With this, it was clear that Yun Tongxiao had lost. He had lost completely. Although he had beaten Zhu Honggong to the point where Zhu Honggong could not fight back in the beginning, faced with the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar and the final series of energy fists, he was completely humiliated as a Venerable Master.
Yun Tongxiao flashed and broke free of the golden avatar’s hold and landed on the ground.
The power of the Dao was ineffective when faced with stronger experts. Hence, Lu Zhou and Chen Fu could see everything clearly.
Chen Fu shook his head and sighed. He cupped his fists at Lu Zhou and said, “I’ve let you see a joke.”
Lu Zhou replied, “Young people are filled with vigor. It’s only natural that they’re competitive.”
Chen Fu continued to shake his head and said, “He’s not young anymore. He has cultivated with me for 500 years. Initially, I thought he was mature and steady enough. However, now that I look at it again, he’s still a little lacking.”
Yun Tongxiao, who could hear his master’s words, flushed red with embarrassment.
After the freezing effect wore off, Zhu Honggong put away his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar and looked at the embarrassed Yun Tongxiao.
Yun Tongxiao looked at Zhu Honggong and said, “I lost.”
Zhu Honggong lifted his hand to scratch his head but discovered he could not do so due to the glove on his hand. He said in confusion, “I won?”
‘I won just like that?’ Zhu Honggong felt that the other party was far stronger than him, and there was no chance of him winning. He did not understand how he won.
Yun Tongxiao did not say a word and obediently retreated to the side.
When Zhu Honggong was about to retreat from the arena as well, Chen Fu said, “Wait a moment.”
“You’re talking to me?”
Chen Fu asked, puzzled, “Your avatar is clearly a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar, but you clearly possess the strength of a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator. Why is that so?”
It was natural that the twin lotus domain was unaware of the lotus-severing method. The cultivators here rarely had any contact with the other domains. Although the red lotus domain and the black lotus domain knew about the golden lotus domain’s lotus-severing method, no one imitated it. First, there was no need for it. Second, it would only make things difficult for themselves since they could not see any advantages to doing that for the time being. Moreover, if they severed their lotuses, they would only have one life. How could it compare to having Birth Charts?
“Senior, you’re really observant,” Zhu Honggong said as he pointed to his lower body and made a chopping gesture, “This cultivation method isn’t suitable for you. You need to use a blade and…”

The disciples of the Autumn Dew Mountain instinctively took a step back.
‘What kind of cultivation requires one to cut off one’s… life?’

Chen Fu misunderstood Zhu Honggong’s words and actions as well. He coughed and choked for a moment before he looked at Lu Zhou and said, “The way you teach your disciple is… impressive.”
Lu Zhou nodded. “That’s right. After all, if a master doesn’t treat his disciple harshly, he’s only harming them.”
Chen Fu could not understand and accept this. He sighed. “Even then, it shouldn’t be to the extent of cutting…”
Chen Fu really could not finish his words. After all, he was a Great Saint. Although he was not interested in human desires and emotions, it was not the extent where he would cut off his chances of having descendants for the sake of cultivation.
Lu Zhou continued to say, “Our philosophies are different. I’m harsh with my disciples because I believe a strict master produces good disciples. The results of today’s sparring are the rewards for their efforts.”
Chen Fu looked at Zhu Honggong and asked, “Don’t you resent your master?”
Thud!
Zhu Honggong suddenly faced Lu Zhou and fell to his knees.
Everyone was stunned. What was he trying to do now?
Then, everyone watched as Zhu Honggong put away his gloves before he raised his hands to the sky and prostrated himself on the ground. Then, he said ingratiatingly, “It’s all thanks to master’s teachings that I’m able to achieve so much. The grace of master’s teachings is greater than that of the heavens! The sun, the moon, the heavens, and earth can bear witness to my gratitude toward my master!”
Then, Zhu Honggong kowtowed.
Contrary to the people from the Autumn Dew Mountain, the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion had grown numb to this kind of display. In the beginning, they had felt it was too exaggerated, but they slowly got used to it.
The disciples of the Autumn Dew Mountain looked at Zhu Honggong with their mouths agape. They were stupefied by Zhu Honggong’s show.
As the ten disciples of the Autumn Dew Mountain and the disciples of the highly-revered Chen Fu, they had been on the receiving end of such treatment by the people of Great Han. However, they had never met anyone as exaggerated as Zhu Honggong. Zhu Honggong had lost his root, but he was still shedding tears of gratitude! Upon seeing this, Chen Fu was filled with admiration. He cupped his fists at Lu Zhou and said, “I truly respect you! In terms of being a master, I’m really inferior to you!”
“It’s not worth mentioning,” Lu Zhou said, “I see that you’re quite curious about our golden lotus domain’s cultivation method. I have to say that the first person who started on this path isn’t my eighth disciple, but my second disciple, Yu Shangrong.”
Yu Shangrong stepped forward and cupped his fists at Chen Fu before he said, “In the cultivation world, different paths would lead to the same destination in the end. Senior, don’t think too highly of it.” This…’
Finally, Chen Fu said, “Daring to be the first one to act is a rare kind of courage…”
At this time, Lu Zhou said, “If anyone wants to learn, you can all ask him for advice.”
Chen Fu said first, “I’m just curious.” Then, he said to his disciples, “If any of you want to learn, I won’t stop you.”

Chen Fu’s disciples shook their heads violently in unison.
Needless to say, Chen Fu did not want to see his disciples walking down that path. Moreover, there was no need for them to do so. However, when he saw his disciples acting so cowardly, he could not help but shake his head unhappily and sigh. Lu Zhou said, “It’s not good to force things. If you’re unwilling, then forget it.”
Chen Fu’s disciples sighed in relief. Their vital organs were saved! Self-castration? Even if they could gain five Birth Charts in one go with that technique, they would not willing.
“Thank you for your understanding, senior,” many of Chen Fu’s disciples thanked Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou nodded before he said, “The lotus-severing method is indeed difficult. It’s not suitable for everyone.” Chen Fu was puzzled. “Wait. The special cultivation method we’re talking about is severing one’s lotus?”
