The memories Lu Zhou obtained were fragmented and incomplete. Perhaps the Demon God did not have enough power before his death, so it was difficult for him to leave behind his lifetime of memories. Even that letter was only a few words, let alone a lifetime of memories.
He didn't know what was left behind on the simple map.
Meng Zhang's explanation made Lu Zhou realize that the Fiend God was staying here because of Meng Zhang's promise.
Lu Zhou looked at the Heavenly Soul Pearl and suppressed his shock. He looked at the figure in the sky and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with it?"
Meng Zhang said,
"You and I always keep our promises. If I can keep my promise, so can you. "
Lu Zhou nodded inwardly. 'As expected.'
He sensed the energy in the Heavenly Soul Pearl and confirmed that it was a real Heavenly Soul Pearl. He said, "Give me three days."
Meng Zhang said indifferently, "I will give you ten years. The price is … you have to guard the Magma Shoal for me for ten years. "
It did not believe that a human could digest a Divine Lord's Heavenly Soul Pearl in three days.
Humans were the wisest of all creatures. They possessed extremely high cultivation talent and were the creatures in this world that could most easily break through their limits.
The reason why Vicious Beasts were able to compete with humans was because of their long lifespans. They exchanged time for cultivation. Humans used cultivation in exchange for long periods of time. This had been the case since ancient times.
Lu Zhou said confidently, "If I say three days, it'll be three days."
Meng Zhang didn't care at all and said, "Ten years later, use this seal technique to awaken this god. During this period, if anything happens to Tian Qi on the Lagoon, I swear I will kill you. "
Initially, Lu Zhou wanted to ask it why it was so insistent on guarding the Tian Qi on Fly Beach.
But when he saw the shadow disappear into the fog, he gave up.
Some obsessions could not be changed in a short period of time or with a few words, so he might as well let it be. Perhaps one day in the future, it would understand that what it was guarding was nothing more than the moon in the well and the flower in the water.
…
Lu Zhou returned to the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
"Meng Zhang doesn't seem to be as fierce as before," Pan Zhong muttered.
"Wasn't he beaten into submission by the Pavilion Master?"
The scene of the Pavilion Master fighting against Azure Dragon Meng Zhang was still fresh in their minds. A hundred years had passed, and the Pavilion Master's cultivation had increased greatly. Meng Zhang could only admit defeat.
"Rest here for three days," Lu Zhou said.
"Yes."
Lu Zhou found a secluded spot.
Then, he took out his lotus seat and placed the Heavenly Soul Pearl in it.
The reason Lu Zhou dared to promise three days was because the last time he activated his Birth Chart, he used Fei Sheng's Heavenly Soul Pearl. It went smoothly and only took one night.
This time was no exception.
As expected, not long after the Heavenly Soul Pearl was inserted into the lotus, three regions changed.
"Three Birth Charts at the same time?" Lu Zhou was slightly surprised.
Fei Dan had the strength of a Young Empyrean Lord, while Meng Zhang was only a Divine Lord. Logically speaking, Meng Zhang's Heavenly Soul Pearl shouldn't have any better effects. Furthermore, it would be harder for him to activate his Life Providence in the future.
On second thought, Meng Zhang was one of the Four Spirits of Heaven. His current Divine Monarch cultivation was just the result of his weakening. As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, and flying is far inferior to the four spirits of heaven.
Just when the Heavenly Soul Pearl was about to sink, Lu Zhou retrieved it.
Crack.
There was a crisp sound.
The three Life Providence regions closed and flattened. Then, they resonated and rotated, entering the second stage.
Lu Zhou put Meng Zhang's Heavenly Soul Pearl away and nodded in satisfaction.
It was just as he had expected. The activation process was smooth.
Three Birth Providences could be considered completed beyond expectations.
With the remaining time, Lu Zhou wanted to meditate on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
"The Heaven Scroll …"
Lu Zhou muttered to himself.
He had gained a certain level of understanding of the Heaven Scroll after meditating on it recently.
For some reason, every time he meditated on the Heaven Scroll, the scenes from the merit stones would appear in his mind. There were also scenes of life, death, and rebirth.
There were scenes of enemies he had killed, innocent cultivators who died unjustly, the old, the weak, the sick, and ordinary humans who died of natural causes.
There were different ways of dying in the great world.
"Could it be that the core of the Heaven Scroll is life and death?"
He suddenly wondered if the power in the Resurrection Painting was only a portion of the Heaven Scroll's content.
He could sense an endless stream of similar power surging into him when he meditated on it. Then, it was converted into the power of the Heavenly Dao.
He could not describe the power of the Heavenly Dao. All he knew was that this power contained a great deal of laws.
In the past, cultivators above the Perfected One realm could control a law such as space, time, and stillness.
The power of the Heavenly Dao seemed to contain many laws.
As he meditated on it, the number of laws increased as well. They included life and death, and reincarnation.
"Continue."
In any case, the Heavenly Writing had given Lu Zhou great power. As long as he continued to meditate on it, he would eventually find the answer.
Lu Zhou closed his eyes.
Runes appeared in his mind and leaped about.
He saw a few familiar runes among the many runes. He weaved them into a sentence: "All things have a beginning and an end. They go where they come from. The Great Dao and reincarnation are endless. "
These words kept reverberating in his mind.
He did not know how many times he repeated it.
When he could no longer feel anything, his mind became slightly numb.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes slowly.
Before he knew it, three days had passed.
He looked down at the lotus seat. Just as he expected, the Birth Chart on the lotus seat had been activated. It was even filled.
The radiance shone on the diagram of the Birth Chart. It was exceptionally dazzling.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Lu Zhou had successfully become a cultivator with 32 Birth Charts.
However, he did not feel the increase in his strength. Perhaps, it was because he was now a paragon. The activation of the Golden Lotus Birth Chart was merely a formality.
Lu Zhou rose to his feet.
He walked toward the Tian Qi at Log Beach.
When he saw the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion gathered together and looking at the Tian Qi at Log Beach, he walked over.
"Greetings, Pavilion Master." The others bowed.
Lu Zhou nodded at the others. Then, he tapped the ground and flew away.
The others watched from where they were.
Lu Zhou performed the hand seals Meng Zhang left on him.
A talisman seal flew into the air.
The mist spun and surged.
Meng Zhang opened his eyes. His eyes shone like moonlight as they illuminated the area below. A silhouette of a human appeared before them.
Meng Zhang said emotionally, "Ten years passed in the blink of an eye … Time sure flies."
"…"
"I didn't expect you to complete it within ten years," Meng Zhang said.
Lu Zhou said, "Only three days have passed, not ten years."
Meng Zhang said, "Don't lie to me.
"There's no need to lie to me."
Lu Zhou was speechless. He tossed the Heavenly Soul Pearl over and said, "It's up to you whether you want to believe me or not."
After tossing the Heavenly Soul Pearl back, Lu Zhou flew back to the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Meng Zhang was left behind, deep in thought.
Lu Zhou ordered, "Let's go."
"Yes."
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! All of them flew into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Meng Zhang used a little trick and said in hindsight, "Only three days have passed?"
…
The marking on the map had been completed.
There was no need to go to the remaining Pillars of Heavenly Revelation.
Lu Zhou returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion through the runic passageway left behind by the Apocalyptic Pillar.
The first thing Lu Zhou did when he returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion was to think of a way to ascend to the heavens.
According to the current situation, there were only two ways to ascend to the heavens. The first was to forcefully ascend to the heavens. Since the ten Tianqi supported the Great Void, they had to be connected to it. However, doing so would be too high profile and openly declare war on the Great Void. Now was not the time for that. The second was to enter the Great Void through other methods.
This reminded Lu Zhou of Old Seventh.
If Number Seven was present, there would only be more ways to enter the Great Void.
Lu Zhou summoned the four elders, the Great Protectors, and the Left and Right Emissaries to brainstorm on this matter.
"Pavilion Master, forcibly ascending to the heavens is obviously impossible. Why don't we split up and sneak into the Great Void? "Zhou Jifeng said.
"We'll be easily discovered if we sneak into the Great Void. Do you think the guardians of the Great Void are fools?"
At this moment, Lu Li bowed and said, "Pavilion Master, I have a brilliant idea. I'm just afraid you won't like it."
"Speak your mind," Lu Zhou said as he waved his arm.
"Understood."
Lu Li turned around to face the others and said, "There's a rumor that the Great Void is constantly recruiting talents. 100 years have passed, and nobody knows the true strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion. On the contrary, the cultivation world is spreading the news that the Evil Sky Pavilion has been disbanded.
"The Dark Pin Temple's Li Chun is recruiting Dark Armored Guards everywhere. Why don't we seize this opportunity to transform into Dark Armored Guards? "
After saying this …
The Evil Sky Pavilion's great hall fell silent.
Everyone stared at Lu Li.
Some of them had a disdainful expression on their faces while others were speechless.
The pavilion master was high and mighty. He was invincible under the heavens. Why would he resort to such methods?
Lu Li sensed the killing intent in their eyes. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just thinking of a stupid idea. Please don't take it to heart."
However …
Lu Zhou said, "That's not a bad idea."
The others. "?"
Lu Zhou stood up with his hands on his back. He walked down the steps slowly and said, "Strength and cultivation base are important, but it's foolish to blindly rely on brute force."
"Pavilion Master is right."
"You're wise, Pavilion Master. Using our wits is the best strategy."
Lu Li. "…"
At this moment, Yan Zhenluo said, "The Evil Sky Pavilion's collective cultivation base is not bad, but won't it raise the Great Void's suspicions if they're too concentrated?"
Geniuses were rare to begin with. Now that there were so many of them, they had to be suspicious.
"That's indeed a problem," Lu Li said.
At this moment, Meng Changdong shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a problem."
"Why do you say so?" Lu Zhou looked at Meng Changdong.
Meng Changdong said, "Ever since I received the Great Void soil from the pavilion master, I've been nourished by the Great Void's aura. My cultivation base has improved by leaps and bounds. However, no matter how hard I cultivate, I can't catch up to the four elders. Even Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng are catching up to me. "
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone knows that cultivators of the golden lotus are bound by certain restrictions. After the path of severing the lotus was spread, the restrictions were resolved. On the other hand … I've studied the cultivation of the golden lotus with Mister Seventh before, and we made a shocking discovery. "
Meng Changdong had managed to keep everyone on tenterhooks.
