Chapter 1681: You Don’t Have the Great Void Seed

At Tu Wei Hall.

The Silver Guards bowed in unison and called out, “Greetings, Commander!”

When Qi Sheng was appointed as the Commander of Tu Wei Hall by the Sacred Temple, there were many Silver Guards who were dissatisfied. Many of them thought that the commanders’ competition would prove once and for all if Qi Sheng was worthy of his title.

Due to various communication talismans, news of what happened in the Cloud Domain spread quickly through the Great Void.

As the Silver Guards bowed, they looked at Qi Sheng and the Silver Guard in front of him furtively. They were not familiar with the Silver Guard standing in front of Qi Sheng. Ever since Qi Sheng joined the Tu Wei Hall, that Silver Guard had never left Qi Sheng’s side and was extremely loyal to Qi Sheng. They all knew he was Qi Sheng’s confidant. However, they only found out today that he was also a supreme being! Needless to say, they were shocked.

The previous Commander of Tu Wei Hall, Jiang Wenxu, was just a Dao Saint. The 3,000 Silver Guards he commanded were mostly Venerable Masters and Saints. With the appearance of a supreme being in their ranks, how could they not feel shocked? The standard for the Silver Guards had been raised infinitely with this.

Qi Sheng nodded in satisfaction and said, “Very good. As long as you follow me and do your jobs well, I definitely won’t mistreat you.”

“Yes, Commander!” the Silver Guards replied in unison.

At this moment, one of the Silver Guards stepped forward and said respectfully to the Silver Guard next to Qi Sheng, “I really didn’t expect this senior’s cultivation to be so profound. Currently, everyone in the Great Void already knows about this.”

Qi Sheng had long expected them to bring up this matter. He only said in a low voice, “There are some matters that you shouldn’t ask about.”

“Understood!”

As the saying went, ‘One needs 10,000 lies to cover up one lie’. It was better to draw a clear line at the beginning to prevent future troubles. This was Jiang Aijian’s way of doing things; he could not be as meticulous as Si Wuya.

“Alright. All of you may leave.”

After the Silver Guards left, Qi Sheng said, “We already have five Heaven Suppressing Pestles. We’re only lacking the ones from Shang Zhang Hall, Zhu Yong Hall, Xihe Hall, Xuan Yi Palace, and the Great Abyss Land.”

The Silver Guard nodded and said, “We shouldn’t rush this matter. Only two of the Pillars of Destruction have collapsed; we still have another eight supporting the sky. Nothing big will happen in the near future.”

Qi Sheng asked curiously, “Will the sky really collapse?”

…

“It’s better to believe than to disregard it,” the Silver Guard replied.

Qi Sheng nodded before he said with a sigh, “I really don’t want to die in a cowardly manner. However, when I think about how the entire world is waiting for me to save it, the burden gets even heavier. To think I’m carrying such a burden at such a young age…”

“…”

The Silver Guardcoughed before he said in a deep voice, “Pay attention to your image.”

“Got it.”

Then, the Silver Guard suddenly said through Voice Transmission, “An expert is approaching.”

Qi Sheng nodded, and his casual appearance turned serious immediately.

The Silver Guard looked outside and waited quietly.

After a moment, a translucent figure appeared.

Qi Sheng was slightly startled. He quickly bowed and said, “Greetings, Great Emperor.”

“No need,” Ming Xin said, “I’ve always believed in your ability. This time, you’ve done a good job coordinating the commanders’ competition. You deserve a reward.”

“This is my duty. It’s not worth mentioning,” Qi Sheng said modestly.

“Do you know why I want the owners of the Great Void Seeds to be the commanders of the ten halls?” Ming Xin suddenly asked.

Qi Sheng smiled and replied, “Your Majesty previously mentioned that only the owners of the Great Void Seeds have a 100% chance of becoming a supreme being and comprehending the Great Dao. Even if someone else becomes a commander, they’d be kicked off their position sooner or later.”

“You’re only half right,” Ming Xin said, “The Great Void Seeds mature every 30,000 years. Who knows how many matured Great Void Seeds there have been since ancient times. If it’s just that, I can look for other owners of the Great Void Seeds before this.”

Indeed. Lan Xihe was also an owner of the Great Void Seed. Her cultivation was not low, she was experienced, and her personality was not bad either. All in all, Ming Xin should have appreciated such a talent.

Qi Sheng said, “I’d like to hear Your Majesty’s thoughts.”

Ming Xin said, “It’s very simple. Many owners of the Great Void Seeds have died.”

“Died?” Qi Sheng was slightly surprised.

“The Scarlet Emperor, the Azure Emperor, the White Emperor, and the Black Emperor are all owners of the Great Void Seeds. Those four are luckier compared to the others and survived up until now,” Ming Xin said.

“What about Emperor Shang Zhang and the Four Supremes of the Sacred Temple?” Qi Sheng asked.

“Shang Zhang spent 10,000 years in seclusion, nourished by the Great Void soul. Coupled with the essence of heaven and earth, he became a divine emperor,” Ming Xin said. Then, an amiable smile appeared on his face as he continued to say, “As for the Four Supremes, it’s all thanks to an excellent teacher that they’re able to achieve so much.”

“Teacher?” Qi Sheng was even more surprised.

Ming Xin stared at Qi Sheng as he calmly said, “There’s no need to pretend that you don’t know in front of me.”

Qi Sheng’s heart skipped a beat before he said, “I’m sorry for making a fool out of myself, Your Majesty.”

Ming Xin sighed and said, “No one in this world, humans and beasts alike, can live forever. In the river of time, there were countless sages who failed in their quest to find immortality.”

Qi Sheng frowned slightly as he said, “Since it’s a shackle that the heavens created, why must we break it? If everyone could live forever, the nine domains and even the Great Void would eventually collapse from overpopulation. Those at the top would use all means to stay at the stop, and those at the bottom would have no chance to rise to the top. Such a world… Is this truly the world that we want?”

Ming Xin revealed an expression of approval as he said, “You’re very insightful, but you’re wrong.”

“Wrong?”

“Human nature determines that the situation you’re talking about won’t happen because humans will definitely make mistakes,” Ming Xin said confidently, “Those in power will be doomed if they make a mistake. As for those at the bottom, the mistakes they make would be inconsequential. With this, there’ll always be changes.”

Qi Sheng nodded. “Your Majesty has a point.”

Ming Xin’s voice darkened as he continued to say, “Hence, humans should seek immortality and break the shackles!”

Qi Sheng was inwardly shocked.

In the entire cultivation world, no one believed in immortality. Those who tried to break the shackles were regarded as evil. The Sacred Temple and the ten halls of the Great Void prohibited cultivators from seeking immortality.How could Qi Sheng not be shocked that the Temple Master of the Sacred Temple and the supreme existence in the Great Void said such contradictory words?

Ming Xin continued to say, “Previously, the Pillars of Destruction didn’t collapse, and the Great Void was in no danger of falling. However, with recent events, we need the owners of the Great Void Seeds. They’re the only ones who can protect the Pillars of Destruction.”

“I see.” Qi Sheng nodded.

Following that, Ming Xin said words that shocked Qi Sheng to the core. “And you… You don’t have the Great Void Seed.”
