Chapter 2783

Everyone questioned.

"Is there something wrong with the stone stele?" Tong Qimei questioned.

Senior Brother Lu and the others fell silent and were unable to answer her question. On the other hand, Zhuowen withdrew his palm and revealed an expression of understanding.

Zhuowen recalled the huge amount of special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals he'd consumed when he attained his Dao all those years ago. In the end, he'd barely escaped death and successfully advanced.

If it was any other cultivator, they would probably only require low-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals to advance smoothly. However, he'd required a huge amount of special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals, and he'd almost failed in the end.

Zhuowen had always thought that it might be because his main body had a special physique, but now it would seem like it wasn't because of his physique but because of his Dao Root.

Because he didn't possess an Dao Root, logically speaking, it should be very difficult for him to attain his Dao.

However, Zhuowen just so happened to be extremely wealthy and possessed so many special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals. Coupled with the fact that Zhuowen knew nothing about Dao Roots at that time, he'd acted like a fool and absorbed the special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals without any regard for his life.

In the end, Zhuowen utilized the enormous amount of energy accumulated by the special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals to break through the shackles of his Dao Root and forcefully attain his Dao.

After he succeeded in attaining his Dao, Zhuowen's main body's strength far surpassed cultivators of the same realm due to the baptism of the special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals.

However, there was a huge drawback to this, and it was that it was a thousand times more difficult for the main body to advance compared to ordinary cultivators.

"Junior Sister Qimei, I already know the reason. Let's go!"

Zhuowen spoke and broke the silence in the surroundings.

Tong Qimei didn't ask any further. She cupped her fists to Senior Brother Lu before leaving the square with Zhuowen.

After Tong Qimei and Zhuowen left, everyone in the surroundings was bewildered. There was even a disciple amongst them that refused to believe it and went to test the stone stele. He noticed that the stone stele glowed with yellow light.

"The Testing Stone Stele isn't faulty, so why didn't it light up just now?" That disciple muttered with bewilderment.

On the other hand, Senior Brother Lu revealed a contemplative expression. He pondered deeply for a short moment before he seemed to have thought of something, and he revealed an astounded expression.

He felt that his guess was too crazy. He shook his head and felt that his guess was too unreliable.

… …

In an antique room, Zhuowen casually sat in front of the tea table with a teacup in his right hand. He took a few sips before looking at Tong Qimei and asked, "Junior Sister Qimei, I heard from the guard that Fire Plume and Steel Plume aren't in Violet Red Chamber right now?"

Tong Qimei nodded and said, "A few days ago, Senior Sister Fire Plume and Martial Uncle Steel Plume went to Lightning God Garden. I heard that they were summoned by Lightning God Garden's Great Senior Sister, Lei Zixuan."

"Then do you know why Lei Zixuan summoned Fire Plume and Steel Plume?" Zhuowen asked.

"I'm not sure either. It was the Vice Sect Master who informed Senior Sister Fire Plume and Martial Uncle Steel Plume. I heard that it was an urgent matter."

"Lei Zixuan's status in Lightning God Garden is very high. With her summoning, Senior Sister Fire Plume and Martial Uncle Steel Plume must go. Otherwise, they'll get into trouble," Tong Qimei said softly.

Zhuowen frowned. He felt that Lei Zixuan summoned Fire Plume and Steel Plume for no reason.

Also, when he met Lei Zixuan for the first time, he felt that Lei Zixuan must have recognized him as Zhuowen. She just didn't expose him.

However, Zhuowen couldn't figure out what Lei Zixuan was planning.

"By the way, Junior Sister Qimei, the Violet Red Chamber is a Dao Sect level faction. Why do I feel that it doesn't have the characteristics of a Dao Sect level faction?" Zhuowen looked at Tong Qimei and asked.

Tong Qimei sighed and said, "In fact, the Violet Red Chamber was very powerful ten thousand years ago. It was said that it was a genuine Dao Sect level faction!

Later on, for some unknown reason, it was besieged by numerous Dao Sects, causing it to decline and fall into its current state.

"Actually, the Violet Red Chamber might fall out of the ranks of Dao Sects and become an ordinary faction in the near future. Unless another Master of Heaven's Will appears in the Violet Red Chamber."

Zhuowen was stunned, and then he said, "Doesn't your Violet Red Chamber have a Master of Heaven's Will?"

"Yes, and it's the current Sect Master. However, it's said that the current Sect Master has been missing for over 65 years, and there hasn't been any news of him. A Violet Red Chamber without a Sect Master is utterly unable to hold on for long," said Tong Qimei in a slightly helpless tone.

Zhuowen was slightly speechless. Isn't the Violet Red Chamber too trash? It actually doesn't even have a Master of Heaven's Will.

If he knew that the Violet Red Chamber was so unreliable, then he would absolutely not have allowed Tong Qimei to become a disciple of the Violet Red Chamber.

"Big Brother Zhuo, you don't have to worry about me. Because I possess an Earth Rank Ancestral Dao Root, the Violet Red Chamber has been nurturing me with all its might. They hope that I've already attained the second step of the Dao and can support the entire Violet Red Chamber." Tong Qimei smiled sweetly.

Knock!

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Tong Qimei's beautiful brows knit together slightly as she said, "Who is it?"

"Junior Sister, my father is looking for you. Are you free now?" A man's voice resounded from outside the door.

This voice wasn't unfamiliar to Zhuowen, and it was exactly Senior Brother Lu from the square just now.

During their conversation just now, Zhuowen found out from Tong Qimei that Senior Brother Lu's identity wasn't ordinary at all.

Senior Brother Lu's full name was Lu Qitian, and he was the son of the current Vice Sect Master of the Violet Red Chamber, Lu Hao.

Because the Sect Master of the Violet Red Chamber had been missing for a long time, the authority of the Sect Master was naturally temporarily taken over by Lu Hao.

It could be said that Lu Hao possessed monstrous authority in the Violet Red Chamber, and he reigned supreme above everyone else. On the other hand, as Lu Hao's son, Lu Qitian's status was naturally extremely high, and it was even slightly higher than Tong Qimei's.

Tong Qimei revealed a troubled expression, and she was just about to refuse when Zhuowen indicated for her to leave.

When she saw Zhuowen's intentions, Tong Qimei could only reveal an apologetic expression to Zhuowen, and then she walked out of the room.

Zhuowen sat cross-legged in the middle of the room, meditating with his eyes closed.

After about half an incense stick's worth of time, Zhuowen abruptly opened his eyes. With a flick of his right hand, three rays of sword light shot out from his sleeve.

They were the Thunderfire Sword, the Blood Immortal Sword, and the Sacrificial Death Sword.

The three divine swords were at the origin level, especially the Thunderfire Sword controlled by Xiao Hei. It was already at the peak of the origin level, and it wasn't far from the Heavenly Fate level.

As soon as the three divine swords appeared, they turned into three rays of sword light and revolved around Zhuowen's body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The moment Zhuowen summoned the three divine swords, a fierce attack suddenly erupted from the ground of the antique room.

Upon closer inspection, the attack came from a figure wielding a foot-long crimson sword. It shot out like a bolt of lightning and arrived in front of Zhuowen in the blink of an eye.

Zhuowen didn't even spare the figure a glance. Under his control, the Sacrificial Death Sword swept out like a raging dragon and slashed out, forcing the figure to retreat.

However, this person's speed was extremely fast. He didn't fight to the death with the Death Sacrifice Sword. Instead, after clashing with the Death Sacrifice Sword, he disappeared into the darkness like a phantom. He planned to escape after his attack failed.

"Since you're here, why don't you stay for a cup of tea?"

Zhuowen's eyes were sharp as he reached out with his right hand. Like a crushing mountain, countless waves of energy rolled out like raging waves.
