Peace returned to the Zhao Mansion after this small interlude. However, there were still a few cultivators nearby who wanted to watch the show from afar. Perhaps it was because of the recent uproar over Xi Qishu's death, many people in Xianyang City were speculating that Zhao Yu had something to do with Xi Qishu's death.
Over the years, the stability of the zither had been in the hands of the four Enlightened Masters and the Qin Emperor. Once Tuoba Sicheng and Ye Zheng died, even if there was no imbalance, the balance between the two sides of the red line would be broken.
Those who liked peace prayed for the imbalance to end as soon as possible so that they could live in peace and work. This was the wish of most ordinary people. Those who liked excitement and even hoped for the end of the world to arrive wanted to see the boundary between humans and Direbeasts break and have a showdown at the pinnacle.
There was never a lack of people who wanted to watch a good show.
In a room of the Zhao Mansion.
Lu Zhou was unaware that his actions had attracted the attention of the Outer Realms, including the Great Void.
He looked at the increase in his lifespan and nodded in satisfaction.
The high-level Reversal Card that he obtained from the Random Card was quite effective.
Now that he had more than 13,000 years of life, he could raise his cultivation base by one leaf. However, Lu Zhou did not plan to consume his lifespan. Instead, he erected the Longevity Suppression Pillar in front of him, keeping it above the ground. Then, he activated his Hundred Tribulations Insight. The effect of the Concealment Card was still there. After his clearance was raised, the concealment effect could last for ten days.
"Upgrade."
The Hundred Tribulations Insight began to spin on the spot. With the experience of absorbing the lifespan from the Longevity Suppressing Pillar, the avatar's absorption of the lifespan from the Longevity Suppressing Pillar went smoothly.
He could feel the lifespan inside the Longevity Suppression Pillar slowly decreasing. Fortunately, there was enough lifespan stored inside. Otherwise, it would not be enough to satisfy this vampire-like blue avatar.
"In the process of raising one's cultivation base, the Golden Lotus first takes one's life, then increases one's lifespan. The Blue Lotus raises one's cultivation base, but it only takes one's life, not lifespan."
Without the Golden Lotus and the Reversal Card, even if he had the Heavenly Book, he would only be able to make use of the divine power.
Lu Zhou felt his scalp tingle when he thought about the astronomical number of years the Thousand Worlds would need in the future.
"The Life Providence of the Blue Dharmakaya is the same as the Golden Lotus after advancing to the Thousand World?"
He was the only one who cultivated the blue lotus, so he didn't have any experience to refer to.
He sighed and closed his eyes to cultivate. He would let it absorb as much as it wanted.
…
Under Zhi Wenzi's command, the cultivator braced himself and came to the vicinity of Zhao Manor. Seeing that there were still spectators floating in the air, he flew over.
"I'm late. It's already over."
The cultivator really wanted to say, I'm a f * cking returning customer, but in the end, he held himself back.
"Aren't you going to take a look?" he asked.
"What are you looking at? That Sword Dao expert is extremely powerful. He broke everyone's weapons in one move. It's possible that he's a guest official that Young Master Zhao accepted. "
Since Daqin was established in the world, many feudal vassals and powerful young masters liked to recruit guest officials. A powerful person giving a title to a guest official?
Status and power; Guest Officials worked for powerful people.
"It's been a long time since there's been any activity. There shouldn't be a show to watch. Disperse, disperse. "
Many cultivators hid in the forest and disappeared.
That cultivator didn't leave?
He looked around and saw that there was no one around.
He hid in the darkness and landed in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion.
He bowed.
Lie on the ground and crawl forward?
Like a Tibetan mastiff pressing down on its body?
His aura seemed to have changed.
He approached one of the courtyards, leaned against the wall, and covered his Fate Pearl with his black cloak.
The Fate Pearl shone brightly.
He quickly put away the Fate Pearl.
He continued to crawl forward.
The inner courtyard of the Zhao Mansion was extremely quiet. His nerves were extremely tense. He was suppressing his aura?
Breathing rate?
Heart rate and so on.
It was no different from a dog's.
"Fortunately, I have an advanced dog-type Fate Providence ability …"
He swallowed his saliva.
He came to the nearest courtyard.
He looked down at the Fate Pearl in his arms.
Medium light?
According to the light of the Fate Pearl?
He made a judgment. "Thousand World Novice …"
His nose twitched …
"What's that smell?"
He leaned down to the wall and sniffed.
There was a smell of urine at the foot of the wall.
"Ugh …"
How f * cking unlucky!
What kind of place was the Zhao Mansion? There was actually someone urinating and defecating everywhere!
He quickly went around one of the courtyards and took out the Fate Pearl to take a closer look. The light was medium.
"About five Fate Providence."
Cultivators of this level weren't targets for the Twin Sons of the Emperor.
He continued forward, moving along the wall and paying close attention to the changes in the Fate Pearl.
Until the light of the Fate Pearl reached a high level.
"Second Fate Gate!?" He was shocked. He covered the Fate Pearl with a trembling hand.
At this moment, a voice sounded in his ear.
"Dog, don't mess around."
Dog?
The cultivator looked at himself, and his heart trembled. 'I've been discovered?'
He quickly moved towards the last courtyard. When he got close to the most prestigious area, the light of his Fate Pearl shone even brighter.
"Second Fate Gate, Thirteen Fate Providence?"
He covered the Fate Pearl with a black robe and lay on the ground as if hiding under a blanket.
"Hm?"
The radiance of the Fate Pearl instantly dimmed, turning into a low-grade dim radiance.
"Hundred Tribulations Insight?"
He stared at the Fate Bead in confusion and scratched his head.
The Fate Pearl reacted to the fluctuation of the aura of the strongest cultivator in a certain area.
No matter how a cultivator tried to hide it, the Fate Pearl would react and judge his breathing, life force, meridians, and other aspects.
What did the sudden change in strength mean?
He was dumbfounded.
The change from Thirteen Fate Providence to Hundred Tribulations Insight was even more exaggerated than jumping off a ninety-degree cliff.
He shook his head, puzzled and confused.
Then, the Fate Pearl shone brightly again, showing signs of breaking through to Fourteen Fate Providence.
“？？？？”
As soon as it lit up, the Fate Pearl dimmed.
He had a complicated look in his eyes.
However, no matter how the light of the Fate Pearl changed, it only moved in the area below Fourteen Fate Providence. Clearly, the expert in the courtyard was in a state of extreme concentration and did not deliberately sense the changes around the courtyard. If he did not leave now, he would be easily discovered. Fortunately, he disguised himself as a 'dog', including his aura, breathing, heartbeat, and temperature. Otherwise, the changes in the Fate Pearl would attract the attention of an expert.
He retracted his Primal Qi.
The Fate Pearl shattered into ashes.
He looked around and returned the way he came.
He lowered his body all the way until he reached the courtyard where he had landed.
"What's that smell?"
He smelled a special scent again and couldn't help but turn his head to look. He could not help but shake his head. It was said that rich families were of high quality, but it seemed to be false.
He raised his body slightly.
"Woo …"
He heard a low whimper.
His body stiffened.
He had a bad feeling.
He slowly turned around. Not far from the wall, a pair of glowing eyes was staring at him.
"…"
He did not dare to move.
He knew very well that once he moved, the beast in the dark would definitely cry out and alarm the others.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
He restrained his aura and remained calm.
In the darkness, a dog-like ferocious beast that was much larger than a man walked out.
Under the moonlight, its fur was crystal clear, its wings were folded, and its body was strong.
Its eyes were even deeper, with a soul-stirring brilliance.
"Qiong … Qiong Qi …" The cultivator recognized it.
But he did not dare to move.
Qiong Qi did not continue to whimper. Instead, it walked over. It did not walk fast, like a noble and elegant noble, step by step, raising its proud head. It came to a place three meters in front of the man.
It sniffed.
Qiong Qi smelled a 'special and familiar smell' from the 'target'. It laughed, exhaled a few times, and rolled up its tongue …
Then, saliva flowed down.
"…????" The cultivator clawed the ground fiercely.
Qiong Qi walked over.
It raised its claws and patted him.
It put its nose forward and sniffed.
Its mouth opened.
The cultivator showed a terrified expression. Humiliation, anger, and all kinds of complicated emotions gathered together. Just as he was about to explode, a low order came from afar:
"Dog, if you run around again, I will stew you!"
Qiong Qi retracted its long tongue, closed its mouth, and quickly ran back to the courtyard, disappearing.
The cultivator was more decisive than ever. He tapped his toes lightly and rushed into the night, shuttling through the forest like lightning.
This was probably the fastest speed he had ever run in his life …
After flying for a few thousand meters, he hurriedly landed on the ground and vomited.
"I almost became a laughingstock of the cultivators!"
After vomiting out all the vomit in his stomach, he gradually calmed down.
He did not stay in the forest for too long and flew into the distance.
Not long after, he returned to where the Emperor Twins were.
Seeing Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi standing side by side, he hurriedly ran over and knelt on one knee: "Lord Zhi, I have found out."
"What is the result?"
"After repeated confirmation, the person with the highest cultivation in the Zhao family does not exceed 14 Fate."
"Did the Fate Pearl react strangely?" Zhi Wenzi asked. "Don't miss a single detail."
"The Fate Pearl was normal in the beginning, but when it came into contact with that expert, its strength changed strangely. It was as bright as 13 Fate Pearls, but also as bright as a Hundred Tribulations Insight."
"Hm?"
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi looked at each other.
The two of them couldn't understand either.
"The change in strength from 13 Fate Pearls to Hundred Tribulations Insight … Big Brother, is it possible that it is some kind of concealment method?" Zhi Wuzi asked.
"Impossible … There are usually two methods to determine a cultivator's cultivation. The first is the cultivator's perception, but this perception is the easiest to deceive. It is difficult for those with low cultivation to hide from those with high cultivation. Sometimes, those with low cultivation can also use special methods to conceal their cultivation. The second method is through certain items and formations. Some mirror-type treasures have higher quality requirements. Formations need to be set up first, and the target may not cooperate. The flaw is greater. The Fate Pearl is the most accurate method. The Thousand Worlds are powerful because of the accumulation of Fate Pearls. The Fate Heart contains a huge amount of vitality, and is the foundation of a person's heaven-defying lifespan. The Fate Pearl can accurately capture this point, "Zhi Wenzi said.
"They can't deceive the Fate Pearl."
Zhi Wuzi nodded. "It is a waste to use the Fate Pearl on them. Big Brother, since we have confirmed that they killed General Xi, what are we waiting for? Let's catch them all in one go! "
Zhi Wenzi shook his head.
"We are not gangsters, and we are not bandits. Let's wait. "
"Wait?" Zhi Wenzi asked.
"Three days at most," Zhi Wenzi said. "Daqin's hunting team should be back by then."
Zhi Wuzi's eyes lit up. "Big Brother is wise!"
"The weak should have the awareness of the weak, and the strong should have the judgment of the strong," Zhi Wenzi said. "Even if we are confident, we still have to look at the Enlightened Master's mood. So, we need to test the Enlightened Master's attitude in these three days. However, the Enlightened Masters rarely care about these trivial matters, and the Qin Emperor rarely interacts with them. "
"That makes sense. I will send someone to invite the Enlightened Masters to Xianyang as guests …"
"Go."
…
The next day, the sky brightened.
Lu Zhou was still immersed in comprehending the Heavenly Writing.
When the Heavenly Writing runes suddenly became restless and moved about, Lu Zhou's eyes snapped open.
He looked at the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar before him.
"This …"
"Stop!"
He studied the lotus again.
"One, two, three … four, five …"
Five-leaf!
It was previously a Two-leaf avatar, but now, it had three leaves.
After one night, it had transformed into a Five-leaf avatar?
Lu Zhou made a grabbing motion, and the Longevity Suppressing Pillar flew back into his palm.
He gauged his lifespan. It had been reduced by one-third.
"…"
'This really is a vampire!'
The system did not give him any notice, nor did it ask for his opinion.
Lu Zhou looked at the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.
"Five-leaf Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. 10,000 years of life to advance to the next level."
Fortunately, he had the Longevity Suppressing Pillar. If it had sucked his life, he would have died after one night.
Lu Zhou noticed that the golden radiance on the Longevity Suppressing Pillar had dimmed slightly.
The loss of life had greatly reduced its power.
However, its value was to improve his strength. Otherwise, there was no point in keeping it.
Lu Zhou raised his hand.
The Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar flew into his palm.
"Apart from providing some heavenly power, what else can the blue avatar do? Is it like the golden lotus? "
He willed it.
The blue avatar's arm moved.
"Hm?"
He willed it again.
The blue avatar's arms moved together.
"I can control it freely?"
Generally speaking, the Dharma Body was stationary, like a statue. After severing the lotus, it was the same as severing the shackles. With the lotus removed, it was free. He did not expect the blue avatar to be able to control it freely.
Lu Zhou was slightly vexed. He should have noticed this earlier. He had thought it was too weak and did not test its power and functions. Now, it seemed like it was more powerful than he had imagined.
"Let's try something else."
He raised his right hand and opened his palm.
As expected, the avatar imitated him and extended its palm. However, its movements were slightly stiff.
After several attempts, the avatar became more familiar with the movement, and the stiffness disappeared.
Lu Zhou retracted three fingers.
This was a more subtle movement.
It was slightly difficult to create an avatar. However, after a few tries, he managed to do it.
"Energy sword."
A long and narrow energy sword appeared between two of Lu Zhou's fingers.
An energy sword shot out from the avatar's fingers as well.
Lu Zhou's eyes brightened.
"Withdraw!"
He felt it would not be easy to control his second avatar when it did this.
His will was like a remote control.
Lu Zhou pushed his avatar out. When the blue avatar flew 10 meters away, it reverted to its statue form.
It was clear he could not be too far away.
"It's still too weak." Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Let's try the lotus."
