Two days later, Lu Zhou opened his eyes from his meditation.
The first thing he did was to summon his avatar and confirm his fifth Birth Chart.
The five Birth Chart areas in his Life Palace lit up one after another. Indeed, the fifth Birth Chart lit up.
This Birth Chart provided him with the power to govern. At the same time, his overall speed, strength, and power of the Birth Chart were enhanced.
"Alas, it won't be easy to accumulate three more cards at the peak of the Strengthening stage." Lu Zhou felt slightly fearful when he thought about the endless' thank you's'.
Currently, he had slightly more than 500,000 merit points.
"Alas, I can't buy the peak card."
In that case, he could only focus on improving his strength.
Currently, he had five Birth Charts. He would have to wait and see if he wanted to give the Birth Chart Heart to his disciple or return it to Yingzhao Mountain.
According to the records, in the previous cultivation era, some cultivators would reuse one Birth Chart Heart. They would lose 1,500 years of their lives to create a second Birth Chart. The advantage of doing so was that they would not have to look for a new Birth Chart Heart. The disadvantage was that they would not be able to obtain new Birth Chart Hearts. Hence, few people would have the same Birth Chart Heart.
"The sixth Fate Heart will also take 1,500 years …" Zhang Xuan muttered to himself.
"I have less than 300 years of life left."
This meant that even if he could use Pu Yi's Birth Chart Heart now, he would not have enough life left unless he decided not to reuse it. However, it would be a waste to do so.
"I'll have to accumulate more Reversal Cards."
Lu Zhou looked at the item column.
He had 35 Reversal Cards.
Based on the calculation of 600 days per card, he would need more than 900 cards for 1,500 years.
"…"
He would have to draw for a long time.
The price was 500 merit points per card … Wait, what did this note mean?
"Note: This item is recommended to be purchased."
"Purchase?"
Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
He tried the lottery ten times and obtained a Reversal Card.
"The chances of winning are about the same, but it's the same price as purchasing it."
At first, the chances of winning were high. However, as the number of times he tried the lottery increased, the chances of winning were dropping. He would only get lucky once when his luck reached 999 points.
It was clear that the chances of winning were getting lower as time went on.
Of course, the system's suggestions were only for reference. If he was lucky and won the lottery, it might be more worthwhile than buying it.
There were two things that he needed to pay attention to. First, the Reversal Card might appreciate in the future. Second, the Reversal Card could only reverse one's lifespan, not increase it … When he transmigrated, he only had a lifespan of a thousand years. If he reversed it, he could only reverse about a thousand years. If he exceeded this upper limit, it was very likely that he would return to his mother's womb and be killed with a slap. He still had to be careful when using it.
"A thousand Reversal Cards require five hundred thousand merit points."
He had thought that the Reversal Card was the cheapest, but now it seemed that it was the biggest scam.
He was not in a hurry to buy a Reversal Card. He would keep it for now.
Sizzle —
The talisman paper stirred.
Lu Zhou closed the system dashboard and produced a black talisman. He crossed his fingers, and the talisman burst into flames.
Yan Zhenluo's image appeared.
Yan Zhenluo scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Brother Lu … You've hidden it quite well."
"Hide?"
"Now, in both the black and white lotus worlds, everyone knows that an expert with twelve Birth Charts has appeared in the golden lotus world … Twelve Birth Charts … Brother Lu, you're really good at hiding it," Yan Zhenluo said.
"I've always been honest with others. I've never been secretive," Lu Zhou said.
"…"
'You're the boss. Whatever you say is right. I won't argue with you.'
Yan Zhenluo's attitude was clearly much more respectful than before.
He said, "I'm not too sure about the white tower. The black tower is in an uproar right now … The black tower's purge plan has been suppressed by Tower Master Xia. Currently, many factions are wary of you, Brother Lu."
This was within Lu Zhou's expectations.
With 12 Birth Charts, it was only natural for them to be more restrained than before.
"How's the Dark Glory Alliance doing?" Lu Zhou asked.
"That's what I wanted to talk to you about today, Brother Lu. Ye Liuyun of the Dark Glory Alliance is dead. Dark Glory has always been vengeful. They won't dare to look for you, so they'll definitely think of other ways to seek revenge. I heard from a friend that the Dark Glory Alliance has sent people to the red and golden lotus domains. However … I don't know if it's true, "Yan Zhenluo said.
"The golden lotus domain?" Lu Zhou frowned.
"Great Yuan Mansion's Chen Wuwang is gravely injured. However, they're behaving themselves. They're not despicable. The white tower has sent an envoy to negotiate with the black tower. There won't be any conflicts in the near future, "Yan Zhenluo said.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded.
"Yan Zhen Luo."
"Hm?" Yan Zhenluo suddenly sensed a change in Lu Zhou's gaze.
"It's no longer suitable for you to stay in the Black Tower. I can give you another chance," Lu Zhou said indifferently.
"This …"
Yan Zhenluo knew what Lu Zhou was trying to say.
If he joined the Evil Sky Pavilion, it would be equivalent to betraying the Black Tower. The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Even the former Tower Master, Xiao Yunhe, didn't have this opportunity. You'd better think this through," Lu Zhou said in a deep voice.
The name Xiao Yunhe startled Yan Zhenluo.
How could he not know the weight of these three words?
He yearned for freedom and hated the struggles of humans. He was tired of everything there.
Yan Zhenluo said,
"Since the last mission, the black tower's supervision of members has increased. If you want to leave the Black Tower, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult. "
"You don't have to worry about that. I will go to the Black Tower sooner or later."
"…"
Things had already come to this.
Yan Zhenluo steeled his heart and made up his mind, saying, "Brother Lu is treating me with such sincerity, if I still refuse, then I really don't know how to appreciate favors. From now on, I, Yan Zhenluo, will only follow your lead, Brother Lu. "
"Ding! Obtained a subordinate. Reward: 1,000 merit points."
"Very well … I'll make you the Evil Sky Pavilion's Left Emissary. You'll only listen to my orders," Lu Zhou said.
When Yan Zhenluo heard this, something stirred in him.
Something stirred in him.
With his current cultivation base, he was considered one of the more experienced members of the Black Tower. He was not even an elder, let alone the most powerful person below the Tower Master.
How could he not be excited to be made the Evil Sky Pavilion's Left Emissary?
"Thank you, Pavilion Master."
"You'll have to stay in the Black Tower for now," Lu Zhou said.
"Alright."
The scene disappeared.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded.
The overall strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion had increased again. However, it was still far from enough.
The cultivation bases of the four elders, ten disciples, and Guardian Meng Changdong had not caught up yet. It would be difficult for them to challenge the Black and White Tower with the newly recruited Thousand Worlds.
"Men."
This time, it was not a maidservant who appeared. It was Little Yuan 'er and Conch.
"Master … please give us your orders," Little Yuan 'er said respectfully like a maidservant.
Lu Zhou frowned.
"Girl … has your cultivation level fallen during this period of time?"
Little Yuan 'er giggled. She ran to Lu Zhou's side and said, "How could my cultivation base fall behind? I'm about to reach the Ten-leaf stage."
"That's good. Summon your Second Senior Brother here," Lu Zhou said.
"Why do you need to summon Second Senior Brother? Junior Sister Conch and I can do that as well. I'm bored to death staying in the palace every day," Little Yuan 'er said indignantly.
"Return to the Evil Sky Pavilion … Can you do that?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I'll summon Second Senior Brother."
In truth, it was not a bad idea for Little Yuan 'er and Conch to return. However, it was slightly dangerous to cross the Endless Ocean, and they could not control the rune tunnels.
Among the ten disciples, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were the only ones who could control the rune tunnels.
Based on Yu Shangrong's brief fight with the Grand Elder, Xu Chen, Yu Shangrong possessed the strength of at least a Thousand Worlds Birth Chart. However, he still appeared to be a Ten-leaf Hundred Tribulations Insight cultivator.
Shortly after.
Little Yuan 'er summoned Yu Shangrong.
Yu Shangrong bowed and said, "Master."
"I've summoned you here in hopes that you'll bring a few Birth Chart Hearts back to the Evil Sky Pavilion. Moreover, the Dark Glory Alliance is extremely vengeful. Currently, the Evil Sky Pavilion only has its Guardian, Li Xiaomo, with three Birth Charts in a Thousand Worlds. I'm worried … "
"I'm willing to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion," Yu Shangrong said.
Little Yuan 'er said with a smile, "You're still the same, Second Senior Brother!"
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly and said, "I've sensed a breakthrough in my cultivation base recently. I'm currently at a bottleneck. If I stay in the palace, I'll be stuck."
At this moment …
Lu Zhou suddenly struck with his palm.
The golden palm shot toward Yu Shangrong at lightning speed.
Yu Shangrong's combat experience was too rich. Before his master's palm strike could reach him, he had already drawn his sword and wielded his energy. Bam!
He blocked the golden palm strike and slid back several meters before he stood firm.
"You're able to withstand this attack without being harmed. It's clear that you've achieved a breakthrough on the lotus severing path."
