Chapter 1400: Right Under My Nose
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chen Fu’s voice regained its gentleness as he continued to say, “There’s nothing in this world that can be obtained without a price. If you want something, you’ll have to pay the price. The price of bringing the dead back to life is very high. Who do you want to revive by looking for this scroll?”
Lu Zhou said with a sigh, “My wicked disciple is mischievous and committed a fatal mistake. A master is like a father. How can I just stand aside and do nothing?”
Chen Fu, who was a master himself, looked at Hua Yin and empathized with Lu Zhou. He pointed at Hua Yin and said, “Everyone says my ten disciples are amazing. However, even I, a Saint, can’t live peacefully. If they commit a mistake like your disciple, perhaps, I won’t be as broad-minded as you to look for the Resurrection Scroll.”
Hua Yin kneeled to show his loyalty. “Master, you worry too much. Even if I die, I won’t ask you to look for the Resurrection Scroll.”
Chen Fu looked at Hua Yin and said, “Alright. I’m not blaming you. Why are you so anxious?”
Despite Chen Fu’s words, Hua Yin still looked nervous.
Lu Zhou thought Hua Yin was not bad and could be considered talented. In terms of eloquence, the only disciples of his who could compare were Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. As an elder, it was inevitable for him to make comparisons.
Lu Zhou collected his thoughts and asked, “Where can I find the Resurrection Scroll?”
Chen Fu did not answer immediately. Instead, he waved his hand.
A boy rushed over from the forest and carefully put away the chess pieces and the chessboard on the table.
Chen Fu was no longer interested in playing chess. His expression was solemn as he asked, “Are you sure you want to find the Resurrection Scroll?”
Lu Zhou nodded without any hesitation.
Chen Fu sighed before he said, “The Resurrection Scroll came from a powerful cultivator. His actions were
 unprecedented. In order to break the shackles, he went against the heavens and studied the path of cultivation. He was truly peerless. 100,000 years ago, with his strength alone, he moved the mountains and filled the seas, getting rid of the imbalance. What a pity
”
Lu Zhou frowned. “What’s there to pity?”
“This ancient Saint’s cultivation method was too
 unique so people thought he was a demon and called him the Unholy One.”
Lu Zhou recalled the item he had just obtained, the Hourglass of Time. If he were to believe Yue Qi’s words, the hourglass was a demonic relic. He wondered if the Unholy One whom Yue Qi mentioned was the same Unholy One whom Chen Fu mentioned.
Lu Zhou asked, “So where did he go?”
Chen Fu shook his head and said, “These are all taboos in the Great Void. According to the rules, those who mention this will be banished.”
“Taboos?” Lu Zhou did not care about being banished.

Chen Fu only said, “Evil and unorthodox methods aren’t tolerated by the world so they’re naturally taboo.”
Lu Zhou asked again, “Where’s the scroll?”
“You can look for it in the black lotus domain,” Chen Fu replied.
Lu Zhou rose to his feet and looked at Chen Fu. After a moment of silence, he said, “I would like to invite Saint Chen to come with me.”
As soon as Lu Zhou’s voice fell, Hua Yin instinctively raised his head.
Yan Mu’s eyes widened in shock.
The atmosphere turned tense and strange. There was an indescribable sense of oppression.
Chen Fu said, “I have an agreement with the Great Void to not interfere with the affairs of the outside world. Since you’re from the golden lotus domain, I should’ve banished you from here. I only told you this because you dodged three of my moves.”
Lu Zhou asked, “You intend to make an enemy out of me?”
Chen Fu laughed out loud before he said, “If that’s the case, the six Venerable Masters of Great Han would have arrived long ago. I wouldn’t even need to make a move, and you wouldn’t have been able to escape.”
Lu Zhou also laughed out loud. Then, he said, “Great Saint Chen, you’ve been in the twin lotus domain for too long so you don’t understand the changes outside. If it really comes to that, I won’t show any mercy as well.”
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back as he spoke. His bearing was dignified, and his aura was mysterious.
Initially, Chen Fu thought Lu Zhou was just a Great Venerable Master who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He thought Lu Zhou could add some fun to his boring life. However, after that three moves, he had changed his view and thought Lu Zhou had some skill and was just a little arrogant. However, now, he thought that Lu Zhou was just blindly arrogant.
‘Is he really just blindly arrogant?’ Chen Fu studied Lu Zhou. After a moment of silence, he said, “There’s no need to be so hostile. You’re a guest after all. Prepare the tea.”
Chen Fu’s words showed that he treated Lu Zhou with courtesy and also acknowledged Lu Zhou’s ability.
Yan Mu inhaled deeply before he shifted his gaze from his idol to Lu Zhou. He wondered inwardly, ‘Is he for real? How can he just blindly challenge a Saint?’
Hua Yin was inwardly shocked as well. His master’s status was self-evident. Even if someone from the Great Void came, they might not be served a cup of tea. For his master to treat the other party with such respect meant that the other party was not simple at all. He had always trusted his master’s judgment so he said, “Understood.”
Before long, the tea was served.
‘Please sit,’ Chen Fu said. It was worth noting that he used the word ‘please’.
Lu Zhou sat back down and did not stand on ceremony. After talking so much, his mouth was indeed a little dry. After sipping the tea, he could taste the sweetness in the bitterness of the tea. The bitterness spread on his taste buds before the faint sweetness kicked in.
Chen Fu said, “There’s a sacred relic in the Great Void called the Scales of Justice. If I make any unusual movements, the scales will be able to detect it.”
“Scales of Justice? Even with the imbalance, it can sense you?” Lu Zhou asked, slightly surprised.
Chen Fu sighed and said, “The Great Void’s actions can’t be judged by common sense. If I want to leave, they naturally won’t be able to find me. However, if I leave, chaos will definitely descend on the world.”
Chen Fu said, “I’ll give you more hints.”
Lu Zhou also became more polite with this. “Please speak.”
If he was shown respect, then, he would naturally return the favor. Respect was mutual.
Chen Fu said, “30,000 years ago, a Venerable Master from the black lotus domain obtained the Resurrection Scroll. You can start looking from there.”
Lu Zhou was stunned. “Lu Tiantong?”
Chen Fu sighed. “So much time has passed so I can’t remember his name. Perhaps, his surname is Lu.”
‘This is awkward. After expending so much effort to look for the Resurrection Scroll, don’t tell me it’s the Scripture of Sermons? It’s right under my nose all this time?’
In all honesty, in his quest to find a way to bring the dead back to life, he had been walking on a tightrope. It was dangerous. Even if he had a million merit points, the person he had to face was still a Saint. If he had met a petty Saint, they would have already started fighting. He could indeed deal with a Saint if he had all his item cards. However, he had to consider the other Venerable Masters as well.
At this moment, a green-clad cultivator’s voice rang from afar.
“Reporting to the Saint, Sect Master Qiu Wenjian of the Seven Stars Sword Sect requests an audience.”
Chen Fu nodded and asked, “Did he bring the item?”
“Qui Wenjian said he had brought the item with him. He’s at the foot of the mountain.”
‘The world is truly small for enemies!’
Lu Zhou asked in confusion, “A mere Sect Master of the Seven Stars Sword Sect has the right to meet a Saint like you?”
At this moment, Hua Yin took the initiative to explain, “It’s said that Qiu Wenjian obtained a rare treasure. It’s a good opportunity to broaden one’s horizon.”
“A treasure that can even catch a Saint’s eye?” Lu Zhou’s curiosity was piqued.
Hua Yin smiled. “The item is called the Purple Glazed Ceramic.. It came from the Pillar of Destruction in the Unknown Land’s Great Abyss.”
