Chapter 1629: The Five Planetary Divine Incumbents (1)

“Alright,” Lu Zhou said as he slowly rose to his feet. He had some doubts in his heart. With Xuanyi, Zhang He, and the Dark Guards, there should not be any problem taking down an ordinary Saint slayer. Since Li Chun returned to call for reinforcements, it meant that the Saint slayer was not simple.

“Master, I want to come as well!” Little Yuan’er volunteered excitedly.

Lu Zhou shook his head. “Both of you stay in Xuanyi Palace.”

Seeing that Little Yuan’er was about to protest, a stern expression appeared on Lu Zhou’s face.

Upon seeing this, Little Yuan’er could only lower her head and said, “Okay.”

Lu Zhou pointed at Shang Zhang, the attendant, and said, “You, come with me.”

Shang Zhang, the attendant, pointed at himself. “Me?”

“You,” Lu Zhou said as he left the Dao hall with his hands on his back.

Shang Zhang, the attendant, turned to look at Little Yuan’er and Conch before he walked out with an unwilling expression on his face. As a divine emperor, he was superior to most people. Who would dare to order him around in this manner? His expression grew more and more unnatural as he turned back to look at the two girls. He sighed inwardly, ‘Forget it! For the sake of my daughter, I must endure!’

Little Yuan’er said suspiciously, “What’s wrong with master? He’d rather bring an attendant with him than to bring us.”

When Li Chun saw Lu Zhou and Shang Zhang, the attendant, walking out, he asked in confusion, “When did Pavilion Master Lu have this attendant?”

The mysterious and sudden appearance of an unknown person was indeed difficult to explain to the cultivators of Xuanyi Palace. They would only be able to cover up this matter for a short time. As time passed, more and more flaws would appear. It would not take long for people to guess that Shang Zhang did not leave and had, instead, snuck into Xuanyi Palace with the identity and appearance of an attendant.

Lu Zhou glanced at Shang Zhang, the attendant. He did not answer the question directly. Instead, he said, “I’m getting old so I found an attendant to help me with some chores.”

Li Chun thought it was normal for someone with Lu Zhou’s status to have an attendant by his side so he did not dwell on the matter. He only said, “Pavilion Master Lu, you should’ve told me about this earlier so I can arrange it for you.”

Shang Zhang was not blind nor foolish. He could see how abnormally respectful Li Chun was toward Lu Zhou. ‘It seems like the two girls’ master is indeed an extraordinary figure.’

Shang Zhang recalled the void-grade weapon that Lu Zhou brought out when they were in Shang Zhang Hall. With that, he was even more certain that Lu Zhou’s cultivation was profound. However, he did not understand how an extraordinary person like Lu Zhou who was born in the nine domains escaped the Great Void’s notice.

“Lead the way,” Lu Zhou said.

“Yes,” Li Chun said and flew toward a runic passage that led to the southeastern region.

When they were in the runic passage, Shang Zhang, the attendant, asked, “Old sir, did you comprehend the Great Dao in the abyss?”

Little Yuan’er and Conch had often gone to the abyss to pay respect to their master. Over the past 100 years, their master did not look for them at all. Hence, Shang Zhang thought that Lu Zhou must have had a fortuitous encounter while he was in the abyss.

Lu Zhou watched the runic passage light up as he said, “The abyss contains unfathomable secrets. I was lucky.”

“How enviable!” Shang Zhang, the attendant, said, “It’s said that the power of the earth is profound and abstruse. It’s not something humans are capable of comprehending. Many cultivators had attempted to solve its mysteries, but they all suffered a backlash.”

After activating the runic passage, Li Chun said, “Wow, little attendant, you’re quite knowledgeable.”

“It’s just a little knowledge,” Shang Zhang, the attendant, replied.

“Not bad, not bad,” Li Chun said before he added, “The power of the earth has always been mysterious. The Sacred Temple has done a lot of research. All they know is that it’s related to the shackles. They couldn’t find out any more than that. After all, if they tried going deeper into the abyss, they might get trapped there. Oh, that’s right. Pavilion Master Lu, how did you get out?”

After the previous incident, Li Chun had already vaguely guessed Lu Zhou’s identity. At this time, he was only pretending to cooperate with the act. Previously, after he had gone home, he had thought about it carefully. If Lu Zhou was just a subordinate of the White Emperor, there was no reason for him to receive such good treatment, and it was also impossible for Lu Zhou’s cultivation to be so profound.

Lu Zhou did not expect this question. He casually replied, “I don’t really know either. If I knew, would I be here?”

In other words, since Lu Zhou had time to spend in the Great Void, would it not be better for him to stay in the abyss to cultivate if it was possible.

Buzz!

The light dimmed, and the trio found themselves hovering in the sky.

There were no clouds, and the sun shone dazzlingly. The scenery and environment in the Great Void were much superior to the nine domains that were plagued by the imbalance.

Li Chun pointed at a mountain range in the southeast and said, “We’ll arrive soon after we cross the mountain range.”

Lu Zhou nodded.

Li Chun looked at Shang Zhang, the attendant, and said with a smile, “Little friend, Elder Brother will take you flying.”

Shang Zhang, the attendant: “???”

Shang Zhang frowned; his expression was extremely solemn.

Li Chun said, “You really don’t have a sense of humor. Can you catch up?”

Swoosh!

Li Chun flew into the distance and vanished in a blink of an eye.

Lu Zhou ignored Shang Zhang and followed Li Chun.

When Lu Zhou and Li Chun had flown far away, Shang Zhang muttered inwardly, ‘Endure!’

In order to hide his identity, Shang Zhang could only deliberately lower his speed.

Lu Zhou and Li Chun crossed the mountain range first. After flying for fifteen minutes, they heard a loud commotion in the sky.

Dark clouds rolled in as the sound of thunder reverberated in the air.

The duo stopped flying.

Lu Zhou looked at the dark clouds and said, “It’s rare to see such weather in the Great Void. What kind of Saint slayer is it?”

“His Majesty said in his message that it’s a Yellow Dragon, one of the Five Planetary Divine Incumbents.”

“Yellow Dragon?” Lu Zhou was slightly surprised.

“Originally, the Yellow Dragon should be a part of the Four Divinities of Heaven. However, Meng Zhang had conflicts with it so it was not part of the Four Divinities of Heaven. Later on, the following generation grouped the Yellow Dragon together with the Four Divinities of Heaven and collectively called them the Five Planetary Divine Incumbents.”

Lu Zhou said, “If it’s really the Yellow Dragon, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to take it down.”

“Pavilion Master Lu, do you know about the Yellow Dragon?” Li Chun asked curiously.

“The Yellow Dragon’s real name is Ying Long. It’s half-human. It’s an ancient Saint slayer. It possesses a trace of the vitality of heaven and is able to control the wind and thunder. There are ancient records that when the universe shattered and the sea was lost, Ying Long lifted the sky and straightened its wings, dispelling the clouds to clear the sky,” Lu Zhou said.
