My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 1230: Laws

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Cultivators who aren’t Venerable Masters increase their lifespans through cultivation. This can also be considered as breaking the law of time,” Qin Renyue said.

Mingshi Yin scratched his head. “I see. Are you saying that Venerable Masters can reverse time?”

Qin Renyue shook his head. “It’s impossible to reverse time; we can only slow it down. Time is a Dao. Even a Saint wouldn’t say they can reverse time.”

After Qin Renyue finished speaking, he looked at Lu Zhou and said, “If my words are wrong, I hope that old sir will correct me…”

‘After all, this young man is your disciple. If I’m wrong about some things, isn’t it like misleading your disciple?’

Lu Zhou nodded. “You’re right. However, there are thousands of laws in the world, and time isn’t the only strong one…”

Qin Renyue was stunned. He cupped his fists together at Lu Zhou and said, “I’d like to hear the explanation.”

The 49 Swordsmen’s ears perked up immediately, eager to be enlightened by the great expert’s words. No matter what, the insight of an expert would be helpful and beneficial. Hence, all of them humbly waited to be enlightened.

Lu Zhou said, “Time brings great changes to the world. Time ages people and brings death. It’s indeed powerful. Then, there’s the universe; that’s the law of space. There are other profound laws such as the law of conservation and the law of balance as well. Where there’s life, these laws will always exist…”

Qin Renyue nodded. Then, he said with a smile, “I agree. Mankind has always been bound by the laws. Like you said, they’re bound by the law of conservation, the law of the jungle, and the law of balance. Only the truly almighty can break these laws…”

Everyone revealed enlightened expressions on their faces.

When one could disregard laws that bound others only would one be worthy of being called powerful.

With this, Venerable Masters seemed a bit lacking.

Lu Zhou continued to stroke his beard. He thought to himself, ‘Thankfully I remember some of the philosophies from earth. Philosophies are vague so no matter what I say, it won’t be wrong…’

“May I know your name, sir?” Qin Renyue asked, trying to get to know Lu Zhou. He had to get Lu Zhou on his side. Although Ye Zheng had lost a Birth Chart, Ye Zheng should be able to recover it. Most importantly, he had completely offended Ye Zheng today. Moreover, Ye Zheng also had a mysterious helper.

“My surname is Lu,” Lu Zhou replied.

“Greetings, Venerable Master Lu,” Qin Renyue and the 49 Swordsmen said in unison.

“…”

‘Forget it, let them misunderstand.’

Lu Zhou was just not used to being addressed as a Venerable Master. Although his strength was not inferior to Venerable Masters, his true cultivation base was nowhere near that high yet. However, even if he explained it to them, they would not understand and would not believe it. Moreover, they had seen his battle with the Fire Phoenix where he fought to a draw; who would believe it if he said he was not a Venerable Master?

Qin Renyue turned to look at the 49 Swordsmen, checking their conditions. Then, he said, “I wonder if everyone would like to gather at my place?”

Lu Zhou said, “I still have matters to attend to..”

“Alright. Then, let’s meet again another day,” Qin Renyue said before tossing a talisman out.

Mingshi Yin caught it in his hand.

“If there’s a need

his head to look at the situation of the forty-nine swords and immediately said, “If it’s possible, I wonder if everyone can gather at my place?”

Lu Zhou said, “I still have things to do.”

“In that case, let’s meet again another day.”Qin Renyue took out a talisman paper and threw it out.

Ming Shiyin stopped him halfway.

Qin Renyue said, “If there’s a need, please don’t hesitate to reach out…”

“Very well…” Lu Zhou said.

Following that, Qin Renyue brought the 49 Swordsmen away and vanished into the distance in just a blink of an eye.

“Venerable Masters are really strong…” Mingshi Yin said enviously. It was a pity he did not see Lu Zhou fighting the Fire Phoenix.

Lu Zhou said, “Contact your senior brothers.”

“Yes.”

…

After Mingshi Yin contacted Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong using a talisman, the others flew over.

As they flew over, they looked at the charred land in disbelief.

Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, Kong Wen, and his three brothers exclaimed in shock as they flew.

“Wait!” Kong Wen called out.

“What is it?”

“That… That looks like a beast emperor!” Kong Wen pointed at the gargantuan Lu Wu.

“It is a beast emperor!” Kong Wu’s eyes widened in shock.

Yu Shangrong revealed a smile on his face and said, “Don’t worry. Lu Wu is my master’s subordinate.”

“…”

Before long, everyone returned to Lu Zhou’s side.

Little Yuan’er jumped down from Whitzard and ran over. “Master, are you alright?”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “The Fire Phoenix’s power is beyond my imagination. I only managed to force it back…”

‘It’s amazing enough that he survived, what does he mean by he forced it back?’

Kong Wen looked at the bored Lu Wu and gulped. He rubbed his eyes again to confirm it was indeed Lu Wu.

At this time, Lu Zhou tossed the wrapped phoenix egg over to Mingshi Yin. “Keep this well.”

“What’s this?”

“It’s a secret,” Lu Zhou said.

“Oh.” Mingshi Yin really wanted to unwrap it to have a look, but seeing his master’s solemn expression and the people in the surroundings, he obediently put it away.

“Third Senior Brother!” Little Yuan’er and Conch called out.

Duanmu Sheng put away the Overlord Spear. “Junior sisters, it’s been a while!”

“Third Senior Brother, you’ve become stronger than before!” Little Yuan’er said.

Duanmu Sheng shook his head. “I still can’t compare to senior brothers.”

Yu Shangrong smiled. “You’ve always been hard working. With Lu Wu’s help, you’ll surpass me and your Eldest Senior Brother in time…”

“Thank you for your praise, Second Senior Brother!” Duanmu Sheng was in an exceptionally good mood.

Lu Zhou looked at the distant sky. They still needed to find a place to rest.

Lu Wu originally wanted to bring them to a hidden place in a mountain range hundreds of miles away, but the environment there was too bad, and it was not suitable for humans to live in.

Fortunately, Kong Wen was very experienced so he suggested going east. There was a huge ancient forest there close to the mountains and rivers so it was quite suitable.

At the same time, they confirmed that very few humans were willing to go deep into the ancient forest in the east. It was extremely quiet. After the imbalance, it was rather empty. In addition to the vastness of the Unknown Land, it seemed like no one would come to this place even if they stayed for three to five years.

…

Just like before, the sky was still dark; there were no stars or moon.

Lu Wu looked at the forest and said, “Humans are really… too fussy…”

“You’re a fierce beast so you can sleep anywhere. Humans can’t do that,” Duanmu Sheng said.

“Let me tell you, in the past, my master, Venerable Master Duanmu, used the earth as his bed and the sky as his quilt! He could even sleep in the water!” Lu Wu’s speech suddenly grew smooth again.

“…”

Kong Wen was speechless. He moved to Mingshi Yin’s side and asked in a hushed tone, “Is it really a beast emperor? Why is it so… childish?”

“What do you think?” Mingshi Yin asked in return.

At this time, Lu Zhou raised his voice and said, “We’ll stay here for a while. Cultivate separately, but don’t go too far away.”

“Understood.”

Everyone bowed.

Following that, Lu Zhou found a hidden ancient tree and sat cross-legged against it. Then, he activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic to recover his divine power.

At the same time, he brought his lotus seat out and studied his Birth Palace. After cultivating in the Unknown Land for a time, his cultivation had stabilized. Hence, he decisively inserted Zhu Yan’s life heart into his Birth Palace.

Even if he failed, it did not matter. Considering the uniqueness of the ancient forest and the vastness of the Unknown Land, he decided to activate a Birth Chart in this place.

Currently, the number of his Birth Charts were far from that of a Venerable Master.

Activating Birth Charts in the human region of the Birth Palace was not difficult, but activating Birth Charts in the heaven region was a long and painful process. Hence, he decided to put the life heart in the human region.

The life heart sank into its position.

With this, Lu Zhou began to activate his tenth Birth Chart..
