The golden runes jumped back and forth in his mind, weaving into an incantation and converging into a sea.
Lu Zhou sensed the surging power contained in the book's world. It rose like stars, passed through the mountains, rivers, and the universe. It left the book and landed on him.
Lu Zhou kept reciting the mantra. The process was smooth and practiced. It was as though he had repeated it thousands of times.
He maintained this posture for a whole night.
The next morning, the book closed itself and became an ordinary book.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Infinite Deduction?"
This time, he knew what the divine ability was in advance. Then, what was he deducing? Was it foresight?
"Observing the transformation of the heavens, deducing all things … Changing the course of events. In other words, deduction is not foresight, but when deduced to the extreme, it is similar to foresight. "
These were just Lu Zhou's thoughts. He had to test them out.
Give it a try.
Lu Zhou's gaze fell on the closed book.
Let's start with this book.
Lu Zhou recited the mantra for the divine power. The shining golden runes floated out and formed the heavenly power before they landed on the book. Alas, there was no reaction.
"You can't derive inanimate objects?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
Perhaps it was a new divine ability that was still in its initial stages.
Lu Zhou divined himself. There was still no response.
"Disciple?"
The magical power of the Heavenly Eye was limited to observing one's own people, that is, the disciples. Could it be the same for deduction?
Lu Zhou chose his youngest disciple, Conch, who was also Luo Shiyin from the unknown lands.
He recited the Heavenly Book's supernatural power again and again.
The power of the Heavenly Form surged and flowed through his eight extraordinary meridians into his eyes.
As expected, Conch's image appeared before his eyes.
Conch played the nine string zither and hovered in the air.
The surroundings were dark and devoid of light, like the scene before nightfall.
The image only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
At this moment, the power of the Celestial Daos was cut off.
"It's being depleted so quickly?" Lu Zhou was incredulous.
He thought that after leveling up to Heaven Aspect Power, his endurance would be greatly increased. Even with the Heavenly Eye, he would be able to watch for a long time.
In order to control the heavenly power, Lu Zhou did not use much of it. He did not even use one-tenth of it.
Again.
Lu Zhou recited the incantation, and the scene appeared again with the power of heaven.
Was the scene different this time?
Conch sat in the room and played the nine-stringed zither.
The speed at which the scene changed was much faster than before.
They were all scenes of Conch playing the guqin.
When Lu Zhou wanted to increase the power of the Heavenly Phenomenon and change the scene, he was stunned.
However, he realized that the scene had frozen.
Lu Zhou had no choice but to withdraw his power.
What did he deduce?
Deduction?
As the name suggested, it was the evolution of inference. It was not foresight. In other words?
The scene he saw just now was only a possibility … a possibility?
There was no point. After drinking water in the morning, it was possible to pee in the afternoon?
Maybe he wouldn't pee?
This kind of reasoning is meaningless.
"Useless."
In the future, he would slowly explore its abilities. Right now, there were very few places where he could use it. Moreover, this divine ability consumed a lot of Heaven's power. Now that he was in the green lotus?
It was better to be cautious.
Don't waste all the power of heaven easily.
Lu Zhou was about to use the Purple Glazed Ceramic to restore the power of the heaven form when he remembered the Purple Glazed Ceramic was still on cooldown.
He could only take out the Longevity Suppressing Pillar.
"The range shouldn't be too large."
He pressed his palm down.
Bang!
The Longevity Suppressing Pillar easily pierced through the floor?
He drilled into the ground.
Fortunately, Lu Zhou had passed the Second Life Trial.
His strength was no longer the same as before.
He adjusted the speed of the Longevity Suppressing Pillar to 20 times the normal flow of time. The range was limited to the room he was in.
'With this?
I should've needed about seven days to recover the power of the heaven form.
I'll only need eight hours to replenish it. '
Moreover, he had not exhausted his heaven form power yet.
His recovery time was even shorter.
'Am I done?'
Lu Zhou opened the dashboard and looked at his remaining life. At this rate, there was no need for him to worry about his lifespan.
'Let's try a lucky draw.'
"Lucky draw."
"Ding!
Spent 50 merit points. Obtained Hook Blade Technique, Tampering Seed. "
"…"
'Hook blade technique?
Apart from Old Fourth, I don't think anyone else is suitable. '
Lu Zhou ordered his men to prepare a brush, ink, and paper. He wrote down the hook blade technique for Tampering Seed and gave it to Mingshi Yin.
Then, he continued with the lucky draw. For the next ten times, he received the 'Thank You' message.
Lu Zhou gave up on the lucky draw.
At this moment, he noticed a new notification on the mission column.
"Hidden secret. Please investigate the secret within the gold medallion."
It had been a long time since a decent mission had appeared on the mission column. Lu Zhou was slightly surprised.
"Gold medallion?"
The item inside the gold medallion had been retrieved. What was the secret behind it?
In truth, Lu Zhou did not want to meddle too much in the matters of the green lotus domain. Although he was not a benevolent person, he did not want to bring trouble to the golden lotus domain because of his own problems.
The overall strength of the green lotus domain was far greater than the golden lotus domain.
If the Qin Emperor was a vicious person or a tyrant who did not know right from wrong, it would be extremely bad news for the golden lotus domain.
The imbalance was still there. It was easy for humans to clash and clash with each other.
However, at this moment, he really had to deal with the Qin Emperor.
…
The next morning.
After the 49 Swords left, Fan Zhong did not stay for long in the Zhao Mansion as well.
Zhao Yu arrived at Lu Zhou's courtyard. He bowed and said, "Old mister, there's a decree from the palace. His Majesty summons you."
"I won't see him," Lu Zhou projected his voice.
"I've already refused," Zhao Yu said.
Creak!
Lu Zhou walked out. He looked at Zhao Yu with his hands on his back and said, "You wouldn't come here without a reason. What is it?"
Zhao Yu chuckled. "My mother looks much better now. I'd like to invite you to take a look at her, old mister."
"Your mother's illness can be nursed back to health."
Zhao Yu was overjoyed as he said, "If my mother wakes up, I'll kowtow three times to you, old mister … No, I'll kowtow now!"
He fell to his knees and pretended to kowtow.
Before the kowtow could begin, Yan Zhenluo flew over from afar. He landed in the courtyard and said, "Pavilion Master, the Qin Emperor is here."
Lu Zhou waved his arm and said, "He won't see him."
After he finished speaking, he waved his arm and entered the room. The door was tightly shut.
"…"
Yan Zhenluo and Zhao Yu exchanged a look.
At this moment, Da Qin's dragon chariot, soldiers, and cultivators were already near the Zhao Mansion.
The civilians on the streets did not dare to show their faces. They could only watch from afar as they discussed among themselves.
Many people speculated that the Qin Emperor's arrival had something to do with the death of more than 200 Imperial guards that day.
Zhao Yu cleared his throat. He rose to his feet and said, "If you say you won't see him, old mister, then so be it."
Yan Zhenluo said, "The Qin Emperor is here."
"I know."
"It's your father!"
"I know!"
'That's right. Why does it sound like he's cursing me?'
Zhao Yu added, "I'll go alone. In truth, the Zhao Mansion's affairs have nothing to do with you."
"Very well."
Yan Zhenluo nodded.
Even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. Perhaps, Zhao Yu did not need the Evil Sky Pavilion's help.
It all depended on his decision now.
…
Even the newly recruited servants were not bold enough to stop the Qin Emperor.
When the Qin Emperor alighted from the dragon chariot, the steps leading to the Zhao Mansion were filled with kneeling servants.
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi supported each other as they stood obediently at the side.
The Qin Emperor turned to look at them. When he saw that the two of them had grown new arms, he nodded slightly and looked at the Zhao Mansion's entrance.
He sighed softly and said, "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've been here."
A eunuch at the side immediately stepped forward and supported the Qin Emperor. "Your Majesty, you have to attend to a myriad of affairs every day. I believe Young Master Zhao and Lady Qi will understand, Your Majesty."
The Qin Emperor glanced at the servants and asked, "Where's Zhao Yu?"
As soon as he finished speaking …
Zhao Yu hurried out of the mansion. He was alone.
His expression was extremely solemn.
Walking out of the Zhao Mansion, he lifted his robe and walked down the steps respectfully. His eyes were always on the ground as he knelt to greet the Qin Emperor. "Your humble servant welcomes Your Majesty."
The Qin Emperor's expression was the same as usual. He smiled like a normal father and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You've grown up."
Zhao Yu didn't raise his head. He maintained his kneeling posture and looked at the ground, correcting the Qin Emperor, "Your Majesty, no one in this world can grow up in a few days."
Hearing that, the Qin Emperor was a little dazed, but then he said with a smile, "Special cultivators can."
"I'm not a special cultivator."
"…"
As soon as they met, there was a hint of a cockfight. The eunuch at the side didn't dare to interrupt such a scene between father and son.
The Qin Emperor didn't get angry. Instead, he heaved a long sigh and said, "I have indeed neglected you and your mother."
"I dare not," Zhao Yu said.
"I heard that an expert came to the Zhao Mansion. I'm very curious and want to meet him … Where is he?" the Qin Emperor said.
"He is resting. It's not convenient for him to meet you," Zhao Yu said.
"He has no reason not to meet me," the Qin Emperor said.
"The old mister's exact words were: I won't meet him," Zhao Yu said.
This time, the Qin Emperor ignored Zhao Yu. He waved his sleeve and walked up the stairs.
Zhao Yu stood up and followed him.
He knew he couldn't stop the Qin Emperor.
Several cultivators swiftly took control of the Zhao Mansion's main entrance and the activity area that led to the main courtyard.
The Qin Emperor's path was smooth. Nobody stopped him.
He seemed to know where Lu Zhou was. He passed through the courtyards. His personal guards, palace maids, and eunuchs formed a long line behind him.
When he came to a stop, everyone else followed suit.
"Zhi Wenzi," the Qin Emperor said indifferently.
"Understood."
Zhi Wenzi pushed away from the ground lightly and shot into the air.
Primal Qi enveloped his body as he sniffed. He could hear everything that was happening around him.
He pointed in a direction and said, "Your Majesty, over there."
The Qin Emperor walked toward the courtyard with his hands on his back.
Still, no one stopped them.
Not long after, the Qin Emperor arrived outside the courtyard.
A green-robed swordsman appeared in the sky above the garden. He stood with his sword in his arms and looked at the crowd indifferently. "My master has said that he will not receive any guests today. Please return."
Zhi Wenzi came to the side of the Qin Emperor and whispered something to him.
The emperor of Qin nodded his head and said, "Are you the swordsman who killed three winged cavalry warriors with one strike?"
Yu Shangrong said.
"That's me."
"You killed my people, so I am here to punish you. Is that reasonable?" The Qin Emperor said.
When Yu Shangrong heard this, he nodded. "That makes sense."
The Qin Emperor smiled. "Interesting."
After the two words were said.
The figure of the Qin Emperor disappeared.
Everyone felt as if they were hallucinating.
In the cultivation world, when one's speed reached the extreme, one could also create such an effect, but it would still leave behind an obvious fluctuation of vitality. As for the Qin Emperor's disappearance, there was no movement at all.
In the next second, the Qin Emperor appeared in front of Yu Shangrong.
They were only half a meter apart!
A hint of shock flashed across Yu Shangrong's face. However, he quickly regained his composure and maintained a faint smile on his face.
The Qin Emperor seemed to be pleased as he said, "You're courageous."
The Qin Emperor was dressed in a dragon robe. The dragon robe was embroidered in red and black with golden threads. It was a dazzling sight under the sunlight.
Yu Shangrong knew he had encountered an elite today.
A true elite.
"You flatter me," Yu Shangrong said.
"Not many people are worthy of my attention," the Qin Emperor said with a smile, "Do you believe that I had 10,000 chances to take your life just now?"
Yu Shangrong shook his head lightly.
A voice rang from below.
"I had 10,000 chances to take your life. Do you believe me?"
"…"
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi gulped. They instinctively took a step back.
At this moment, Zhao Yu ran in and said, "Old mister … I … I really couldn't stop him."
'Stop him?'
When the Qin Emperor heard this, he appeared slightly disappointed.
He had raised an ingrate, after all.
When Zhi Wenzi told him about it, he did not believe it. However, now that he saw it with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.
The Qin Emperor had been in a high position for many years. He did not show his emotions. He said indifferently, "10,000 chances?"
"Do you want to try?"
Creak!
The door opened.
Lu Zhou, dressed in gray robes, walked out with his hands on his back.
He did not show the exaggerated speed of a cultivator. There were no afterimages or techniques that could shock the heavens and earth. He simply walked out like an ordinary person.
Everyone outside the courtyard retreated at the same time.
The Qin Emperor lowered his gaze and vanished again.
However, to Lu Zhou, his disappearance this time was nothing out of the ordinary.
The heavenly power could help him discern the power of the Dao.
Since the Qin Emperor could use the power of the Dao, his cultivation base must be above the Perfected One realm.
After they landed, the two of them faced each other.
They observed each other.
Their auras, appearance, and Primal Qi fluctuations …
After a long while, the Qin Emperor said, "I believe you."
Zhi Wenzi and Zhi Wuzi. "…"
They truly did not know what the Qin Emperor was trying to do.
Was the Qin Emperor afraid?
Lu Zhou said, "I thought you'd keep your composure."
"Something has happened to my Imperial Guards and generals. As the master, how can I sit back and watch?" The Qin emperor waved his hand.
Two eunuchs brought over a chair made of ancient rattan wood and placed it in the quiet and unique courtyard.
One on the left and one on the right, but they were separated by more than ten meters.
This time, the Qin Emperor didn't use his cultivation. He walked over and raised his hand, "Please sit."
Lu Zhou sat down.
The Qin Emperor smiled, "I can't see through you."
Lu Zhou ignored this topic. Instead, he said, "I've said that I won't be seeing any guests today. Since you insist on doing this, I'm afraid you won't end well today."
The Qin Emperor said,
"Zhi Wenzi has already told me everything. Do you think I'm here to seek revenge? "
Lu Zhou remained silent.
The Qin Emperor laughed out loud and said: "As the ruler of a country, I can tolerate all the people and affairs of the world."
