âIf you want to obtain recognition from the Great Abyss Landâs Pillar of Destruction, youâll have to pass the test of the Pillar of Destruction,â Elder Ming De said as he walked over with his hands on his back and took a seat. His eyes burned bright as he swept his gaze across Lu Zhou, Little Yuanâer, and
Conch.
Lu Zhou asked in a faint voice, âThe test of the Pillar of Destruction?â
âAlthough youâre the White Emperorâs people, it doesnât mean you can do as you please in the Pillar of Destruction. Your cultivation base has to be of a certain levelâŚâ Elder Ming De replied.
âThereâs no requirement to gain recognition from the pillar,â Lu Zhou said.
âThis is my condition,â Elder Ming De said before releasing a sharp and immense pressure.
The energy bore down on Lu Zhou immediately. The energy was neither Primal Qi nor energy seals. It was the first time he had encountered such an energy. His Extraordinary Eight Meridians, Dantianâs sea of Qi, and Primal Qi were normal. However, the pressure felt as though a huge mountain was
pressing down on him.
A suppression from his willpower?â
In the past, Lu Zhou had only encountered those who used their cultivation base and strength to exert pressure. This was the first time he met someone who could use their willpower as a weapon. He thought it was likely that this was one of the powers of the greater laws.
Ordinary people were easily swayed and influenced by those with strong willpower; they were emotionally susceptible to this.
As Lu Zhou bore the pressure, Elder Ming De looked at him unblinkingly with a deep gaze.
Soon enough, the force of the willpower grew stronger.
Lu Zhou could not sense Elder Ming Deâs cultivation base. This meant that Elder Ming De had a higher cultivation base. However, he knew the Heavenly Writing would be able to deal with this so he silently meditated on the Heavenly Writing. As expected, a cooling and calming sensation swept through his
mind
Buzz!
Although Elder Ming De felt he had the absolute advantage, at this moment, he felt an indescribable force pushing back against his willpower. He leaned back a little and was almost injured by the backlash.
Whoosh!
After Elder Ming De regained his composure, he looked at Lu Zhou and asked, âAre you really one of the White Emperorâs people?â
Lu Zhou, who was completely unharmed, asked in return, âCould his jade token be fake?â
At this time, Hong Jian chimed in from the side, âTâve already taken a look at the jade token. Thereâs no doubt that itâs genuine.â
Elder Ming De nodded before he sighed lightly and said, âThe White Emperor is determined to gain immortality. Ever since he went to the Endless Ocean, he hasnât returned at allâŚâ
Lu Zhou did not care about the White Emperor. After all, he was not familiar with the White Emperor at all.
Elder Ming De looked at Lu Zhou and continued to say, âThere are very few human cultivators who can survive in front of me. Youâre one of the fewâŚâ
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, âThe world is so big, There are all kinds of miracles and strange things. I wonât be the lastâŚâ Inwardly, he thought to himself, âYou old thing, you think too highly of yourself!
Elder Ming De naturally understood Lu Zhouâs thoughts. However, he was not angry. Instead, he said with a smile, âYouâve misunderstood me. I only used my willpower to test you because the Great Abyss Landâs Pillar of Destruction tests oneâs will and state of mind.â
âWill and state of mind?â Lu Zhou was puzzled.
âOnly those with an incredibly strong will be recognized by this pillar. As for the state of mind, it would correspond with oneâs cultivation base. Youâll at least have to be a Dao Saint. For example, I exerted pressure using my willpower on you earlier. Based on the faint fluctuations of your aura, I could tell
that youâre angry. Hence, at most, youâll only be a Dao Saint in your life,â Elder Ming De.
Lu Zhou did not say anything. He was indeed slightly unhappy when he was being pressured by Elder Ming Deâs willpower earlier. If oneâs state of mind was truly important on the cultivation path, then it was indeed not good if oneâs state of mind fluctuate too much.
At this moment, Little Yuanâer suddenly said, âThatâs not right.â
Elder Ming De turned to look at Little Yuanâer before he said, âWhat a surprise! At such a young age, youâve already almost become a Venerable Master. Itâs truly rare and commendable. Anyway, why did you say so?â
Little Yuanâer said confidently, âMy master will definitely become a supreme being!â
â Elder Ming De thought Little Yuanâer would have some unique insight, but this was it?
Little Yuanâer continued to say, âDao Saints are nothing. Even if the White Emperor meets my master, heâll still have to be courteous.â
â22?â Elder Ming De frowned slightly. He had long stopped judging a personâs age by their appearance. Little Yuanâerâs aura confirmed that she was just a young girl. Hence, he treated her like an ignorant junior and did take her words to heart.
âYuanâer, donât talk nonsense,â Lu Zhou said with a wave of his sleeve.
âOh.â Inwardly, she muttered, âIâm not talking nonsense.â
Lu Zhouâs priority now was to let the Great Abyss Landâs Pillar of Destruction recognize Little Yuanâer, not to argue with others. Moreover, he did not know anyone here. He would be caught between a rock and a hard place if something happened here.
Lu Zhou asked, âCan you lead us to the core of the pillar now?â
âWhy are you in such a hurry?â Elder Ming De asked in return.
Lu Zhou said, âIâve been traveling in the Unknown Land for so many years for this. I wonât be able to rest in peace as long as we donât get recognized by the pillar.â
Elder Ming De nodded. âAlright.â Then, he rose to his feet and said, âHong Jian, you should come along as well.â
Hong Jian bowed. âYes.â
Elder Ming De walked out of Ming De Hall with his hands on his back.
After leaving the main hall, Elder Ming De led Lu Zhou, his two disciples, and Hong Jian to a runic passage.
âWhen everyone stepped into the runic passage, there was a flash of light, and everyone vanished from sight.
Not long after, they appeared in an even larger hall..
