My disciples are all villains.

Chapter 1637: The Unbalanced World

The black-clad cultivator chased after Zhu Honggong like a shooting star.

A supreme being was a supreme being, after all. In terms of strength and speed, he was superior to Zhu Honggong.

In just a few breaths, a black avatar appeared in the sky above Zhu Honggong, looking down on the land.

Once one became a supreme being, it would be difficult for others to determine the height of one’s avatar. Furthermore, supreme beings were highly revered. Who would dare to approach a supreme being’s avatar to measure its height?

However, there was an exception to everything. There were supreme beings who ordered cultivators to find and record information about supreme beings’ avatars.

After one had activated 31 Birth Charts, the final few Birth Charts grew even more important. Not only would the lifespan one gain by activating them were different, but the increase in height was different as well.

According to ancient records, after the 31 Birth Chart, the 32nd and 33rd Birth Charts would increase one’s avatar’s height by 300 feet each. After the 33rd Birth Chart, the height increment would change again.

The difficulty of activating the final three Birth Charts was incredibly difficult. The 34th and the 35th Birth Charts could increase the height of one’s avatar by 500 feet each. As for the final Birth Chart, the height increment was not fixed. However, one’s avatar would increase by at least 10,000 feet. In the Great Void’s ancient records, there were some whose avatars’ heights increased by 30,000 feet after activating the final Birth Charts.

Zhu Honggong looked up and cursed, “So f*cking fast?!”

Without any hesitation, Zhu Honggong flew into the forest, vanishing from sight. “Since you’re so big, I’ll play hide and seek with you.”

.

The black-clad cultivator maintained his avatar and looked down from above.

Soon enough, the other cultivators arrived as well.

“Go down and search for him.”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

“Your Majesty, he’s very cunning. Should we kill him immediately?”

“No rush,” the black-clad cultivator said indifferently. His eyes were filled with disdain. His five senses were fully opened, searching for Zhu Honggong’s whereabouts. After a moment, he pushed his hand out, releasing a ball of light that swept out for 100 miles in all directions.

Mountains were flattened as rivers were destroyed as birds and beasts fled the area.

All living things were under the black-clad cultivator’s perception. Nothing could escape from his notice. After a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, “Come out.”

No one responded.

It was quiet.

“I’ll give you a chance to surrender.”

There was still no response.

Buzz!

The black-clad cultivator scoffed coldly before he manifested his towering avatar again.

Then, the avatar began to spin, releasing spots of black light that looked like black butterflies fluttering in the wind in all directions.

“Heavens!”

A figure crawled out of a mud pit in the distance. It was hundreds of thousands of times faster than a wild boar as it flew into the distance with a loud swoosh.

“Catch him!”

The cultivators gave chase immediately. However, they were no match for Zhu Honggong so how could they catch up to him?

A smile appeared on the black-clad cultivator’s face. “He knows when to advance and when to retreat. Those who possess the Great Void Seeds are quite talented…”

As Zhu Honggong, who was covered in mud, flew into the distant sky, the black-clad cultivator suddenly disappeared.

Buzz!

The space distorted before an avatar appeared above Zhu Honggong again.

“Run,” a dignified voice said.

Zhu Honggong looked up. He wiped the mud off his face as he said, “So f*cking fast!”

Swoosh!

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky at the black avatar. Alas, it was just like it was scratching an itch for the avatar.

Zhu Honggong disappeared again.

The black-clad cultivator nodded. “Interesting.”

The black-clad cultivator flashed again along with his avatar, leaving tears in the void.

At this moment, a fierce and angry voice rang from afar.

“Zhi Guangji! It’s inappropriate for you to act so recklessly in Xuanyi Palace, right?”

The voice traveled very far away from Xuanyi Palace, crossing mountains and rivers, before it entered the ears of Zhi Guangji, the Black Emperor.

Zhi Guangji put away his avatar, and silence descended. He looked in the direction of Xuanyi Palace and said, “I happened to pass by and saw a wild boar. I wanted to capture it alive.”

“Wild boar?”

“We’re cultivators so we can go for a long time without food. Alas, we still can get rid of our habits as humans. It has been 1,000 years since I tasted the delicacies of the human world. How could I not be tempted when I encountered a wild boar with a strong body?” Zhi Guangji said indifferently.

“You can really talk nonsense. Then, may I ask if you caught the wild boar?”

Zhi Guang Ji shook his head and said, “I think it escaped into your Xuanyi Palace.”

Buzz!

Xuanyi appeared in the sky, overlooking mountains and the land. He cupped his fists together in the direction of Zhi Guangji and said, “You didn’t come all the way to Xuanyi Palace just for a wild boar, right?”

“I merely encountered the wild boar. I came here to visit Xuanyi Palace,” Zhi Guangji replied.

“Visit?” Xuanyi frowned slightly.

“Am I not welcomed?” Zhi Guangji smiled faintly. His smile was rather cunning.

Xuanyi said, “It’s not that I don’t welcome you, but too many things have happened in Xuanyi Palace recently. It’s not convenient for me to receive guests.”

“That’s not a problem. My visit will be brief,” Zhi Guangji said. He flashed and soon appeared in front of Xuanyi.

As the duo faced each other from afar, the other cultivators rushed over as well.

Zhi Guangji sized Xuanyi up before he said, “I didn’t expect you to become a Great Divine King. Congratulations!”

“It doesn’t matter if I became a Great Divine King, I still can’t compare to the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands,” Xuanyi replied.

Zhi Guangji suddenly said, “Well, it’s still better than those who had lost their hall masters.”

Xuanyi frowned.

Then, ten halls were supposed to have ten hall masters. Alas, there were no ten hall masters. Four of the hall masters had perished 100,000 years ago, and Tu Wei had been reduced to ashes 100 years ago.

Zhi Guangji said again, “I don’t mean to mock you. I just feel that it’s not easy to live well in the Great Void…”

“There’s no choice. For the sake of maintaining the world’s balance, we need to do what must be done. This is also Xuanyi Palace’s mission,” Xuanyi said.

“Balance?” Zhi Guangji laughed before he said, “How can you maintain balance in such an unbalanced world? Look at the Great Void alone. There are ten halls, but there are only five hall masters.Ming Xin wants to push the newcomers to the thrones and also invite the Four Emperors of the Lost Lands back to the Great Void. Where’s the balance in the world? How can this be called maintaining the balance?”

How could Xuanyi not know that Zhi Guangji was mocking him? He asked, “Are you mentally unbalanced?”

Zhi Guangji looked at Xuanyi with a profound gaze as he said, “We’re all smart people. There’s no need to beat around the bush. I only want to ask you one question. As the Hall Master of Xuanyi Palace, do you really think the world is balanced? To be precise, do you think the world is fair?”

Xuanyi replied, “There has never been absolute fairness in the world. You should know this.”

“I’ve never asked for absolute fairness,” Zhi Guangji said, suddenly raising his voice.

Xuanyi suppressed his emotions and smiled before he calmly said, “I have nothing more to say.”

“So, you’re willing to work for Ming Xin?” Zhi Guangji asked.

Xuanyi scoffed coldly. “I work for Xuanyi Palace, and the countless people living in Xuanyi Palace’s territory.”

“Well said!” Zhi Guangji flashed forward as his energy grew stronger. “If the Great Void wants to sacrifice the entire Xuanyi Palace to maintain the balance in the Great Void, will you be willing?”
