Chapter 1205

The Heavenly Pillar is like a prison, the Heavenly Maiden is the prisoner, and Zhou You is the jailer.

This enormous prison between heaven and earth suppressed the celestial maiden and also imprisoned Zhou You, preventing both of them from leaving.

Inside the Heavenly Pillar, there is no light, no living beings, and even time has lost its meaning.

Zhou You simply used vibrations to mark the events: someone lifting the Nine Tripods was a major vibration, and outsiders attacking the Heavenly Pillar was a minor vibration.

As time went by, large earthquakes became more frequent, while small earthquakes gradually became less frequent.

This means that the booming martial arts scene outside the region has seen a surge in skilled fighters, with more and more semi-saints qualified to lift the Nine Cauldrons. Correspondingly, attacks on Tianzhu from the Southern Frontier are becoming less frequent.

The local situation has been brought under control, which is a relatively optimistic situation.

One day, Zhou You suddenly noticed something strange: the two handles of the small cauldron that his torso had transformed into could actually hear a sound.

The sound came from the outside world, and its content was related to him, which is why it was able to penetrate the million-meter diameter of the Heavenly Pillar and reach the interior.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhou You's Nine Cauldrons Body had also been elevated to an unimaginable level.

Conservatively speaking, the nine small cauldrons that Zhou You has split into at this moment are already comparable to sacred artifacts.

Outside the Heavenly Pillar...

Two figures faced off in the sky, with a large crowd below watching the battle.

Both sides in the great battle were top masters of their time: "Rem" Mu Leizheng and "Great Thousand Blades" Ao Donglai. One was a half-saint promoted by the Human Race Cult, and the other was even more remarkable, the successor of the former half-saint of the Southern Frontier, and the only one who had mastered the essence of Zhou Daqian's swordsmanship... Ao Donglai.

Ao Donglai, the number one swordsman in the Southern Frontier, is the most outstanding swordsman in the world today.

He was a disciple of Lord Shen and originally used a staff, but due to his limited talent, he never achieved much. However, after Zhou Daqian's death in the southern border, it is said that he inherited his legacy.

From then on, Ao Donglai abandoned his staff for a sword, calling himself "Da Qian Ren" (Great Thousand Blades). His unparalleled swordsmanship swept across the southern border, and all kinds of calamities and demons became targets for him to hone his swordsmanship.

Today, the evil forces and rebels in southern Xinjiang have been wiped out and are no longer a threat, no longer the chaotic scene of the past.

His opponent, Mu Leizheng, was no ordinary man either. As a confidant of Dongfang Daqian, one of the "Two Great Thousands" of that time, Mu Leizheng's strength had increased by leaps and bounds since Dongfang Daqian's fall, thanks to the platform of the Human Race Sect.

Her boxing skills were as powerful as thunder in the sky and as fiery as earth, and their explosive masculinity left many men far behind.

Ao Donglai is known as the Sword Sect Master of the World, so she has the right to call herself... the Thunder Sect Master.

The standoff between the two men at Tianzhu in southern Xinjiang attracted attention from all sides, with many martial arts enthusiasts gathering there to witness the spectacle.

Among the crowd were members of the race religion, as well as disciples and grand-disciples of Ao Donglai, each carrying a long-handled broadsword, combining the expertise of both the long staff and the steel sword.

"Mu Leizheng, do you also want to offend Tianzhu?"

Ao Donglai sneered, "Didn't you inquire before you came about what happened to those petty scoundrels who offended Tianzhu over the years?"

"Your race has a large and powerful family. Even the one who transformed into the Heavenly Pillar did not die out. Be careful, his descendants might come after you."

Ok?
Zhou You became interested upon hearing this. Could his descendants be two branches of the clan that went to the north and south respectively?

Judging from Ao Donglai's tone, these younger generation members are doing quite well.

Mu Leizheng remained silent, but a voice came from below from someone in the Human Race Sect, “Ao Donglai, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.” “Zhou Daqian’s children and grandchildren are busy fighting for power and advancing on the Heavenly Ladder, and have little time to care about the place where their father died in the Southern Frontier.”

“They each set up cenotaphs in their own territories to pay homage to Zhou Daqian from afar; as long as their hearts are there, that’s enough.”

Why risk your life to pull chestnuts out of the fire for you in the southern borderlands?

"Heh heh, is it because the fall of the North to the sorcerers wasn't chaotic enough? Or is it because the Zhou and Qi families in the southeastern states aren't fighting fiercely enough?"

Zhou You was furious. What was going on? The north had been occupied by the witches. Where was Zhenbei Ge Niu Gong? Also, only the Zhou family's western branch had moved to the south. Where did the Qi family come from? Wasn't the Qi family wiped out long ago?

He wanted to hear more, but Ao Donglai clearly wasn't going to tolerate it any longer. He snorted, and the member of the race who was speaking staggered back a few steps. Even as a grandmaster, he couldn't withstand the sonic boom from a distance.

Mu Leizheng blinked, his eyes crackling with electricity, instantly creating a domain spanning a hundred acres, covering all directions.
Lightning and lightning intertwined, coalescing into rare and exotic beasts such as cranes and evil dragons.

Hot air began to rise from beneath the Heavenly Pillar, causing the earth to shake violently. The surrounding mountains cracked open, and blinding magma spewed from the fissures. This was because lightning had attracted the volcanic fire to wreak havoc.

Mu Leizheng's fist technique, combining thunder and fire, resonates with heaven and earth, making its power exceptionally terrifying.

Once she fully unleashes her power, the combined force of heavenly thunder and earthly fire will unleash earth-shattering power with every move.

The onlookers were amazed. Apart from the master and his disciples of Broken Eyebrow Mountain, Mu Leizheng was one of the few strong people in the Female Heaven Sect. However, his opponent was Ao Donglai, the invincible leader of the Human Heaven Sect who swept across the Southern Frontier.

Zhou Daqian perished in the southern borderlands, transforming into a pillar of heaven to suppress the celestial maiden. The outside world generally did not have a high opinion of him. After all, with Lord Shen's masterpiece preceding him, his second act was far less shocking.

Moreover, Zhou Daqian suppressed the Heavenly Maiden as soon as she was freed, so outsiders who did not know the inside story thought that he was just repairing the broken Heavenly Pillar.

This has resulted in the fact that, as time goes by, apart from a few elderly people, no one remembers Zhou Daqian from back then.

Ao Donglai's "Great Thousand Blade" is generally considered to be the result of the Great Thousand Seal, and has little to do with Zhou You.

Although Ao Donglai held Zhou Daqian in the highest esteem, second only to his mentor, even his disciples and grand-disciples did not quite believe that Zhou You could be that capable.

"The two great worlds of humanity, their inheritance comes from the East!"

A widely circulated nursery rhyme in fifty states tells of how, after the successive deaths of Dongfang Daqian and Zhou Daqian, the Daqian Seal fell upon Ao Donglai, who obtained the prophesied 'Daqian Seal'.

Mu Leizheng's challenge to Ao Donglai has drawn attention not only from onlookers, but also from many powerful figures who are secretly watching.

If Ao Donglai wins, it will simply prove the value of the Daqian Seal once again. If he loses, then the ownership of the Daqian Seal will need to be contested.

Looking across the world, who wouldn't covet this secret seal?

The Shishen Sect, as the aggrieved party, has been tirelessly trying to regain the Daqian Seal over the years. If it weren't for the wickedness of Zhou Daqian's descendants, Tianzhu would never be in its current state.

"In today's battle, I once again tell the world that as long as I, Ao Donglai, live, the pillar of heaven will not fall!"

Ao Donglai drew a long-handled broadsword from behind his back. The hilt of the sword was a stick, but the blade was a broken piece of a sword, clearly a broken Yin sword, but the other half was nowhere to be found.

In that battle, countless calamities died at Zhou You's hands, and all seven elder brothers perished.

He fused the remains of these bewitching creatures into this 'Great Thousand Blade', which, despite being only half a blade, still reached the level of a semi-saint divine weapon.

Ao Donglai has been victorious in every battle over the years thanks to his Great Thousand Blade and the 'Ascension to the Great Thousand' sword technique he learned from Zhou You.
