"Looks like the effect of the ancient Formation is much better than I expected."
Lu Zhou thought the time he spent in the ancient Formation would affect his cultivation. He did not expect it to not only not, but it even stabilized his cultivation base.
The earlier acceleration of his cultivation was like a catalyst to a seed. It was akin to pulling up a seedling to help it grow. Although his cultivation speed was fast, it was extremely unstable. It would take a long time to make up for the benefits he gained.
The later acceleration of his cultivation offset the earlier drawbacks.
With this, 100 years in the ancient Formation was no different from 100 years in the mortal world. The time span was the same as well.
He could not help but sigh.
He put away the Fire Phoenix's Birth Chart Heart and observed the changes in his Life Palace. After making sure there were no abnormalities, he summoned the Life Suppressing Pillar.
He placed the Life Suppressing Pillar before him like a wooden stake.
After its spirituality was fully activated, it resembled a golden Ruyi Staff. This reminded Lu Zhou of the popular television series he watched when he was still a student. He could not help but laugh.
Unfortunately, those days would forever be sealed in his memories.
The aftertaste was slightly bitter.
Lu Zhou flipped his palm and summoned his blue avatar.
The blue avatar was currently in the first Birth Chart realm. Lu Zhou had witnessed its strength.
Lu Zhou did not lack Birth Chart Hearts. He had accumulated too many Birth Chart Hearts during his time in the unknown lands. What he lacked was a sufficient amount of life.
Each time the blue avatar activated a Birth Chart, it would take him 10,000 years. If all 36 Birth Charts were activated, it would take him 360,000 years.
This was not a small number.
Fortunately, he had the Life Suppressing Pillar to slowly store some of his life.
He pushed his palm forward.
The blue avatar's Life Palace appeared before him.
He took out a fate heart from his Great Empyrean Pouch and placed it in the same position as his Golden Lotus Life Palace.
Crack!
With the Golden Lotus as his experience, the process of activating the blue avatar went smoothly. He did not plan to remove the Birth Chart Heart he used on the blue avatar. It did not replenish his life to begin with. If he used it again, the cost of his life would be too high.
He shrunk the two avatars to their miniature size and put them away in his sleeve.
He closed his eyes and meditated on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
Time passed by quickly.
Five days later, in the morning, Lu Zhou fully replenished his heavenly power with the Violet Glazed Ceramic.
Duanmu Sheng and Ye Tianxin finally met up with the others according to the talisman's instructions.
According to the current pace, once Dharma Body reached the Second Life Gate, he would be able to continuously use Celestial Force.
He was about to observe the situation of the two Avatars.
When Lu Zhou heard the blue avatar's movements, he waved his arm and left.
Blue Avatar's Life Palace appeared in front of him.
"The second Life Providence is completed?"
At the same time, he sensed the lifespan stored in the Longevity Suppression Pillar and found that it had indeed decreased by about ten thousand years.
Fortunately, the Longevity Suppressing Pillar had a deep foundation, so there were at least sixty thousand years left inside.
Blue Avatar's second Life Providence only took two days to successfully activate.
"Again!"
How could he miss such a good opportunity?
He looked at the Life Palace of the Golden Lotus. It would take a long time. It was unrealistic to open the twenty-four Life Horoscopes in a short period of time.
If he didn't open it now, when would he?
He took out another Fate Heart from the Great Overflowing Heaven Pouch and inserted it into Lan Fa Shen's Life Palace almost without hesitation.
All that was left was to wait.
Suddenly, he felt that he had nothing to do.
He turned to look at Bai Ze, who was lying on the ground.
He decided to give it some Beast Essence.
He opened the dashboard and looked at his current merit points: 2933680.
He had nearly 2,000,000 merit points.
Previously, Lu Zhou had spent more than 500,000 merit points to draw the Peak Card. He did not expect to reap such a great harvest from killing the Silver-Armored Guards.
In total, he had earned more than 2,000,000 merit points.
It felt good.
"I'll buy ten portions of Beast Essence."
Lu Zhou decided to improve the strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion's beast mounts.
There was no need for him to worry since his disciple had the Great Void Seed. The others would be nourished by the Great Void aura, and their cultivation bases would not be too bad in the future. The mounts were the only ones that were holding him back.
"Ding! Obtained ten portions of Beast Essence. Spent 1,000,000 merit points."
He suddenly remembered the Little Firephoenix was not considered a mount. He had bought an extra portion.
However, when he remembered the Holy Beast, the Flaming Phoenix, had given him two Fate Heart and the Little Firephoenix's mediation and help, he did not mind buying it.
"Old Fourth."
Lu Zhou called out softly.
Mingshi Yin was sleeping on a treetop 1,000 meters away. When he heard his master's call, he immediately leaped over.
"Master, you were looking for me?"
"This is the essence of the beast. One for each of you." Lu Zhou tossed out nine portions.
Mingshi Yin caught the beast essence and held it in his palm. He felt the surging energy in the essence and exclaimed in shock, "This is good stuff! Master, where did you get it? “
"You only need to use it. It's not your place to ask about the rest," Lu Zhou said indifferently.
"Yes yes yes …"
Mingshi Yin put the beast essence away and said respectfully, "Thank you for the beast essence, master."
Woof woof woof.
Qiong Qi dashed over from afar, its tail wagging violently.
Mingshi Yin rolled his eyes and cursed under his breath, "You're the only one with a f * cking nose."
He casually tossed one to Qiong Qi.
Qiong Qi had been drooling over this thing for a long time. It bit it and swallowed it whole.
He finished it in one gulp.
Mingshi Yin. "…"
Woof, woof, woof, woof … woof, woof …
Qiong Qi barked at Mingshi Yin.
"Don't call me a hammer. I have to give the rest of the essence to others. I can't enjoy it alone. You're already very big. "Mingshi Yin was very disciplined. He would not take advantage of a fellow disciple.
Qiong Qi let out a low growl. It lowered its head and bared its teeth.
As the saying went, a dog that bites does not bark, and a dog that barks does not bite. Based on Qiong Qi's actions, it was clear that it was going to attack.
Mingshi Yin waved his arm and struck!
The palm seal shone brightly. Bam!
Qiong Qi was sent flying!
"Do you think I can't do anything to you?"
With this slap, Qiong Qi behaved itself. It had an aggrieved expression on its face as it rubbed itself against Mingshi Yin.
Mingshi Yin took the beast essence and bowed at Lu Zhou before he turned around and left.
When he arrived at the edge of a cliff, he saw Yu Zhenghai wielding his Jasper Saber. He said, "Eldest Senior Brother, catch!"
Yu Zhenghai turned around and caught the beast essence. He asked, "What's this?"
"The beast essence. Master gave it to Bi An. It's good stuff!" Mingshi Yin said with a smile.
Yu Zhenghai observed the beast essence. He nodded and said with a sigh, "Master has been very good to these animals lately."
"Lao Ai becoming stronger is beneficial to Eldest Senior Brother. Isn't that so? "Mingshi Yin asked.
"That makes sense."
Yu Zhenghai put the beast essence away and swung his saber at Mingshi Yin. "I've come up with a new idea recently. Fourth Junior Brother, stay and spar with me."
"Eh …"
Mingshi Yin turned around and left. "I have matters to attend to. Farewell, Eldest Senior Brother!"
Hu.
Mingshi Yin vanished in a flash.
Yu Zhenghai sighed and shook his head. "Old Fourth is extraordinarily talented, and his cultivation base is close to mine. However, his temperament is a little off. What a pity, what a pity. I should have brought him into the Nether Church back then. The path of cultivation should be one with an indomitable spirit. A man's ambition should be everywhere. Hiding in the dark all day is a waste of his talent. "
"…"
Achoo!
Mingshi Yin sneezed.
On the south side of the ruins, Yu Shangrong saw Yu Shangrong flying back and forth on his Longevity Sword.
Yu Shangrong did not move from his spot. His energy swords hovered in the air 1,000 meters away.
"Your sword path has improved, Second Senior Brother," Mingshi Yin said.
Yu Shangrong retracted his sword with a smile.
Whoosh!
The Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard.
"Old Fourth, you look good. You seem to have gained something. Would you like to spar with me?" Yu Shangrong asked.
"No, no, no. That's not what I meant." Mingshi Yin waved his hand and tossed the beast essence to Yu Shangrong. "This is for Ji Liang."
Yu Shangrong caught the beast essence. He nodded and said, "Beast essence?"
"I have matters to attend to. I'll be taking my leave."
Mingshi Yin did not give Yu Shangrong a chance to speak. He vanished like a puff of smoke.
Yu Shangrong was puzzled.
The subsequent process was much smoother. Mingshi Yin delivered the beast essence one by one. Even the Beast Emperor, Lu Wu, drooled at the sight of this Beast Essence. It was clear how extraordinary it was.
Zhao Yue, Ye Tianxin, Zhu Honggong, Little Yuan 'er, Conch, and the others gave the beast essence to their respective mounts.
…
Ten days later. Among the ruins.
Crack!
A crisp sound jolted Lu Zhou out of his meditative state.
He opened his eyes and waved his sleeve.
His golden lotus avatar was on the left, and his blue lotus avatar was on the right.
The Birth Charts of both avatars were activated at almost the same time.
He immediately looked at his golden lotus' Life Palace.
The 24th Birth Chart shone with a radiance.
Alas, the upper limit was not unlocked.
"Can I really only open 26 Birth Charts?"
The upper limit of his talent was not unlocked.
This made Lu Zhou slightly worried.
It would be difficult for him to fight the Great Void with 26 Birth Charts.
"There are two more Birth Charts that I can activate. If I can't unlock the upper limit, I'll be in trouble." Lu Zhou frowned.
In any case, he had to find a way to clear the four trials. Even if he could only open 26 Birth Charts, he had to forge ahead. He could not retreat.
Fortunately, the blue avatar's upper limit was fully unlocked. This gave him enough confidence.
However, it was too crowded to activate three Birth Charts in a row. His Life Palace was clearly unstable and uneven. He needed time to stabilize it.
Lu Zhou retracted his two avatars and stood up.
With a flash, he appeared at the foot of the mountain near the ruins.
He saw Little Yuan 'er and Conch talking about something around the Little Phoenix.
"This is master's beast essence. You can't be so heartless," Little Yuan 'er said.
The Little Phoenix flapped its wings and chirped twice, seemingly expressing its gratitude.
Lu Zhou called out, "Yuan 'er."
"Master?"
When Little Yuan 'er and Conch saw their master, they turned around and greeted him.
"Have you used the Fire Phoenix's Birth Chart Heart?" Lu Zhou asked.
"I used it on the same day. I've returned it to the Fire Phoenix," Little Yuan 'er replied.
"…"
Lu Zhou was slightly speechless. "Alright."
At this moment, the Fire Phoenix looked over from afar and looked at Lu Zhou.
The Little Phoenix flew to its mother's head and chirped excitedly.
The Fire Phoenix seemed pleased when it saw the Little Phoenix had grown a few centimeters in size.
Lu Zhou said, "I'll return your Birth Chart Heart."
Swoosh!
He tossed the Birth Chart Heart back to the Fire Phoenix.
The Fire Phoenix opened its mouth, and the Birth Chart Heart flew into its mouth. It sucked in the Birth Chart Heart and gulped a few times before it returned to its original position.
After obtaining the Birth Chart Heart, the Fire Phoenix was in high spirits. Its body flickered with flames as though it was about to burst into flames.
Then, it stood up.
It threw its head back and let out a long cry.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion rushed over.
"Master!"
"Pavilion Master!"
The others greeted him.
Conch said, "Master, it said that you're the first human it's taken a liking to!"
The others laughed.
Lu Zhou asked, "Are you looking down on the people of the Great Void?"
The Fire Phoenix's voice rang in the air.
Conch continued to translate, "Not only does it look down on the people of the Great Void, but it also hates them."
"Why?" Lu Zhou asked.
At this moment, the Fire Phoenix lowered its head. It did not reply immediately. After a moment of silence, it spoke in the human tongue, "Human … There are some things … it's better if you don't know them. The Great Void … is very powerful … We'll meet again. "
Its wings brushed past the Little Fire Phoenix.
The Little Fire Phoenix dodged it and flew toward Little Yuan 'er. It landed next to her and chirped at the Fire Phoenix.
The Fire Phoenix said, "Are you … really … going to … stay?"
The Little Fire Phoenix nodded.
The Fire Phoenix. "…"
'Is this the Fire Phoenix?'
The Fire Phoenix said, "There's a problem with the Revelation Pillar … The ground is still cracking … The sky is going to collapse … The unknown land … will become hell … This place is dangerous!"
The Little Fire Phoenix shook its head and hid behind Little Yuan 'er.
Little Yuan 'er said, "It's the safest with me. You're too big, and you'll easily attract attention. Even if the sky falls, my master will hold it up … Am I right, master? You said that before! "
Lu Zhou was puzzled.
'I did say that before, but you can't drag me into this, little girl.'
If bragging counted, humans would have gone extinct a long time ago.
However, since things had come to this, Lu Zhou looked up and said, "The Little Fire Phoenix will have a great opportunity if it stays by Little Yuan 'er's side. If it stays with you, it'll only attract the attention of the Great Void. If you insist on taking it with you, I won't stop you. Yuan 'er, step aside. "
Little Yuan 'er hummed in acknowledgment and stepped aside.
Unexpectedly, the Little Fire Phoenix stepped aside as well and continued to hide behind Little Yuan 'er.
The Little Fire Phoenix stepped aside again, and the Little Fire Phoenix followed suit.
"…"
The Fire Phoenix was a highly intelligent sacred beast. How could it not understand this?
Everything in the world was intelligent. The Fire Phoenix wanted to take the Little Fire Phoenix away out of a mother's instinct. However, rationally speaking, it was too dangerous to flee with the Little Fire Phoenix in this era when the earth was splitting and the Heavenly Opening was splitting.
The Fire Phoenix remembered the scene when it first ascended to sainthood. If it had failed to ascend, it would have become the prey of humans. It would not have survived.
The Fire Phoenix said nothing.
In fact, it did not even make a sound. Instead, it silently turned around and tossed another feather toward Lu Zhou.
Then, it walked into the distance.
It did not fly.
The others sighed as they looked at the Fire Phoenix's retreating back.
At this moment, the Little Fire Phoenix finally walked out from behind Little Yuan 'er. It looked at the Fire Phoenix that was getting further and further away.
The Fire Phoenix stopped in its tracks.
"Take care."
The Fire Phoenix spread its wings, and flames burned.
The Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and soared into the sky, streaking across the sky.
The Little Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and flew into the sky.
It flew quickly and skillfully. There was a faint shadow of flames on its body. However, it could not keep up with the speed of a sacred beast. In just a blink of an eye, the Fire Phoenix disappeared.
It could only hover in the air and stare blankly into the distance.
It did not know when they would meet again.
In truth, there was no right or wrong.
No matter how difficult it was, a mother should keep her children by her side.
The one who would truly grieve the most would always be the mother.
