"Improve my power?"
All this while, Lu Zhou had thought that the power he had mastered was enhanced by the changes in the Heavenly Writing's power. He did not expect the power could be further enhanced by using items.
This seemed to be a good idea.
Lu Zhou noticed a small line of words at the side as a note. "Improve your power to the Heaven Scroll, or True Power. Also, the True Power will grow stronger as the power of the Heavenly Dao increases."
This note was like a shot in the arm.
Lu Zhou nodded. With a wave of his hand, the Upgrade Card appeared in his palm.
He studied it for a moment. The Upgrade Card's pattern was unique. It was similar to the Supreme Card. It was carved with complicated Formation veins that emitted a mysterious radiance and aura. There was also a faint blue light swirling behind the card.
Sometimes, Lu Zhou would wonder if the system had something to do with the Fiend God. These cards possessed incomprehensible and indescribable power. Why did they still lose?
Lu Zhou remembered the scene he saw in the abyss. The Fiend God's last words were 'looking forward to eternal life'. In other words, the Fiend God did not fully master the power.
This was very likely.
Lu Zhou collected his thoughts and looked at the item card in his palm.
"Which power should I improve?"
Lu Zhou currently had ten powers. The first was the power of speech; the second was the power of muting; the third was the power of permanent residence; the fourth was the power of healing; the fifth was the power of Clear Heavenly Ears; the sixth was the power of Clear Heavenly Eyes; the seventh was the power of Sniffing; the eighth was the power of Infinite Divine Concealment; the ninth was the power of Great Deduction; and the tenth was the power of Major Teleportation.
As the saying went, it was never a bad thing to have more skills.
Now that he was faced with a choice, he felt vexed.
He could either raise his voice, or he could hear clearly and see further.
The last three powers were the most obvious in terms of enhancing his strength.
After the Infinite Divine Concealment was upgraded, he might enter a state of extreme concealment. He did not know what the effects of Major Deduction would be.
"Major Teleportation?"
His current Greater Teleportation ability allowed him to shift back and forth within a thousand meters, allowing him to easily gain an advantageous position in battle.
After comparing, the tenth power was the most beneficial to his strength.
After choosing his target power, Lu Zhou crushed an item card and said, 'Upgrade.'
The item card turned into specks of starlight and surrounded his body. They arranged themselves in a regular pattern half a meter in front of him. The pattern was the same as the one on the card. The energy in the dojo quickly gathered and formed a transparent vortex with the pattern as the center.
At the same time, a huge vortex was formed in the sky above Xuan Ke.
The surging energy gathered in the vortex continuously poured into the dojo.
Feeling the energy fluctuations, Monarch Xuan Pin, Zhang He, and the others flew out of the great hall and looked at the sky, confused.
"Pavilion Master Lu?"
The enormity of that power was astonishing.
Zhang He came to Monarch Xuan Pin's side from afar and asked, "Pavilion Master Lu, are you cultivating?"
Emperor Xuan Pin nodded and let out a long sigh. "I thought that he had only just become a Supremacy. After the battle with the Soaring Snake and today's situation, I have greatly underestimated him."
Although Imperial Lord Xuan Pin knew about Lu Zhou's true identity, she had always thought that her master had not returned to his peak state. That was why she chose to stay in Xuan Pin and bide her time.
Zhang He asked curiously, "I don't understand. Why would the White Emperor send him here?"
"The White Emperor?" Imperial Lord Xuan Pin frowned.
Zhang He realized that he had said the wrong thing. He immediately said, "I … I didn't mean to reveal his identity. Please forgive me, Imperial Lord. I've known for a long time. "
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin looked at Zhang He and said, "Is that why you respect him so much?"
Zhang He nodded. "I didn't know from the beginning. Li Chun told me about it. However, I'm slightly puzzled by your attitude toward him. Even if the White Emperor is here, there's no need for you to … "
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin frowned and said, "Continue."
"There's no need … to be so … flattering."
His voice was barely audible when he said the last two words.
Imperial Lord Xuan Pin lowered his voice and said sternly, "Do you think you have the right to tell me what to do?"
"I wouldn't dare! I'm only speaking my mind. The sun and moon can bear witness to my loyalty to Xuan Pin! "Zhang He said.
Emperor Xuan Pin looked up at the sky and said, "Many things are not as simple as you think. Pavilion Master Lu is such a talent that this Empyrean Lord should respect. "
"His Majesty is right, I understand."
"You don't understand."
"I really do … I …"
"Scram."
Monarch Xuan Pin raised his voice, his expression turning stern.
"Scram."
Zhang He's reply was clean and direct.
"Wait." Monarch Blacksoul called out to Zhang He.
"Your Majesty, please give me your orders."
"Seal off all of Xuan Pin's passageways. For now, no one is allowed to enter," Emperor Xuan Pin said.
"Yes."
Only by locking the fluctuations on Xuan Ke would it be difficult for others to sense them.
Even if the Sage Hall had the Scales of Justice, its ability to sense the waves of the Great Void was limited. He could find an excuse not to open the passage, and even if Temple sent people over, they would have to fly for a period of time.
The main reason why the Ten Halls of the Great Void still existed was because the Great Void was just like the Unknown Lands. It was just too big.
Fifteen minutes later.
The vortex in the sky disappeared, and peace was restored.
Empress Xuan Pin did not go to the dojo to greet him. Instead, she returned to the Xuan Pin Hall and disappeared.
…
Meanwhile.
Lu Zhou took a deep breath as he sensed the changes in his power.
He did not attempt to use his power. Instead, he looked at the blue avatar's lotus seat at the side.
The lotus was still spinning. It could not be completed in a short time. He could only wait patiently.
Lu Zhou closed his eyes again and continued to meditate on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
The next day, the sun rose from the east, illuminating the Great Void.
The first rays of the sun shone on the mountains, rivers, and lands. The peaks, clouds, and mist intertwined with the sunlight.
Lu Zhou heard the faint sound of fluctuations.
He opened his eyes and looked at the lotus seat before him.
The lotus seat shone brightly. Its surface had calmed down. Rays of light flowed along the Birth Chart's area.
"Hm?"
Lu Zhou looked at the lotus seat in shock. He noticed 12 Birth Charts were lit up.
"12 Birth Charts?!"
It rose from seven Birth Charts to 12 Birth Charts?
The huge improvement from a Heavenly Soul Pearl had greatly exceeded Lu Zhou's expectations.
The blue avatar had five more Birth Charts. This was a huge leap.
Lu Zhou retracted the blue avatar.
He pushed it forward.
"Astrolabe!"
This was the blue avatar's astrolabe.
Compared to the golden lotus' astrolabe, the blue avatar's astrolabe clearly had an additional electric arc on it. It slithered around the astrolabe like a dragon.
Although it only had 12 Birth Charts, Lu Zhou could sense that its power was infinitely close to that of a golden astrolabe.
"True Major Teleportation."
Lu Zhou willed it.
His figure vanished from the dojo.
Lu Zhou used this opportunity to test out the power of Major Teleportation. He only had the chance to use it now that he had improved it.
He teleported as far as he could and appeared in the skies 10,000 meters east of the Mystic Peak Temple.
"10,000 meters …"
The distance of this teleportation was already quite shocking.
If he was in a hurry, it was clearly not worth it to use Major Teleportation. It would consume too much of his heaven's power.
If he was in a fight, he could appear anywhere within 10,000 meters. This greatly increased his margin of error.
It should be known that there were too many powerful beasts in this world. All of them were colossal beasts. For example, the Kun in the eastern Endless Sea. It was unfathomably long. If he had a conflict with a colossal beast, it would be inconvenient for him to fight without the support of Major Teleportation.
Lu Zhou was very satisfied with this result.
Lu Zhou pushed the blue avatar's astrolabe out and tested its power. After flattening several mountains, he stopped trying. These were inanimate objects. No matter how many Birth Charts there were, the effect and destructive power would be the same. The only difference was the size of the area. It was not useful for reference.
After doing all this, Lu Zhou returned to the dojo.
He saw the Daoist boy standing near the dojo. He smiled at Lu Zhou and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a childish heart, old mister. How does it feel to blast everything?"
"Did you see it?"
"I only sensed it," the Daoist boy replied.
"My hands itch when I gain new insights into certain powers," Lu Zhou said.
The Daoist boy nodded and said with a smile, "If it's possible, let's discuss it together. Perhaps, we can learn from each other and make up for our shortcomings. "
As soon as the Daoist boy finished speaking …
A voice rang from afar. "What's there to discuss? Hurry up and help me move my things."
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Little Yuan 'er and Conch carrying a pile of things.
The Daoist boy said, "They're here!"
"…"
Lu Zhou shook his head with a sigh. The great Great Emperor of Shang Zhang had fallen to such a state. It was truly lamentable.
The Daoist boy walked up to them and asked tentatively, "Your cultivation bases are profound. Why don't you use your energy to control the things?"
"You don't understand. That's the only way to make someone happy," Little Yuan 'er said with a smile, "Look at Conch. She plays the zither every day. What's she listening to? It's music. She can play it from afar with her energy, but what's the point of that? "
Conch nodded and said in agreement, "You're right. A song played that way will lose some of its spirit. It's soulless."
The Daoist boy sighed emotionally. "I didn't expect the two of you to have such a deep understanding of cultivation, young ladies."
"What kind of understanding? You're ridiculous." Little Yuan 'er rolled her eyes at him. "Let's go."
The Daoist boy. "…"
'Am I overthinking things?'
Conch turned to look at the Daoist boy and said, "Don't be angry. Ninth Senior Sister is a good person."
"It's fine." When the Daoist boy saw Conch talking to him, he smiled knowingly.
The three of them walked out of the dojo.
Lu Zhou shook his head helplessly.
This was good. With a great emperor bodyguard by their side, there was no need to worry about their safety.
…
Ten days later.
In the distant northern skies of Xuan Ke.
Zhu Honggong flew tirelessly. As he flew, he cursed, "Xuan Ke, you bastard. Did you think I wouldn't be able to come after you closed all the passageways?"
He had come to Xuan Ke when he received the order. He did not expect Xuan Ke to close the passageways. Helpless, he had no choice but to fly through the passageway closest to Xuan Ke. Even so, he flew for ten days.
"I'm finally in Xuan Ke's territory."
After arriving at the Xuan Pin Palace, it would take them a few more days to reach the Xuan Pin Palace.
Zhu Honggong hovered in the air.
After resting for a while, he continued flying.
He was about to continue flying when a dozen cultivators flew toward him from a distant mountain peak.
"Are they coming for me?" Zhu Honggong felt that something was amiss. He immediately turned around.
"Too late." A voice rang from behind him.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The dozen cultivators surrounded Zhu Honggong.
One of them said in a deep voice, "We've been waiting for you for ten days. You're finally here."
"Ten days?" Zhu Honggong frowned and said, "I don't know you."
"It's alright. It's enough that we know you," the person said.
Zhu Honggong's eyes brightened. He said, "Do you admire my name? No wonder … I can understand how you feel. "
"…"
The person said, "You're overthinking things."
Then, the person produced a portrait and compared it to the portrait. He nodded and said, "It's confirmed that he's the possessor of the Great Void Seed. Capture him. "
"Understood."
The dozen cultivators charged at Zhu Honggong.
Zhu Honggong was shocked. "How dare you! You know who I am, and yet you dare to treat me like this? Get lost! "
A pair of boxing gloves appeared and collided with each other. Energy scattered into the surroundings.
The ten cultivators only paused for a moment. Then, a glowing rope appeared in their hands. They surrounded Zhu Honggong without restraint.
"You'd better not resist!"
The leader's figure flickered and appeared above Zhu Honggong. He brought his palm down.
Zhu Honggong raised his fists. Boom!
He began to fight with the dozen cultivators.
"Hm?"
The leader praised, "As expected of the possessor of the Great Void Seed. I can't believe you're able to unleash such power!"
"This is only the beginning!"
Zhu Honggong unleashed the Nine Tribulations Thunderblast and weaved through the crowd.
The sounds of energy colliding rang in the air. The fabric of space was torn. Both sides did not dare to be careless.
The leader fought Zhu Honggong head-on for an hour, but he could not take Zhu Honggong down.
He stopped and retreated 100 meters. He asked angrily, "Who provided us with the information?"
The others shook their heads. They did not know.
Zhu Honggong said with a smile, "Do you really think I'm a good-for-nothing?"
"Your cultivation base is not bad. Why are you pretending to be stupid in the Holy Temple?" the man asked.
"Pretend, my foot! That's how I am! "Zhu Honggong swung his fists. The fabric of space was torn again.
"Boss, should we retreat?"
"Stick to the plan and hold him back!"
The dozen cultivators swarmed forward again. The ropes in their hands danced in the air. Whenever the fabric of space distorted, the ropes would straighten it out.
Although Zhu Honggong was powerful, it was difficult for him to take down these people in a short time.
The battle went on for two hours.
Zhu Honggong grew bolder as he fought. The might of his fists grew stronger as well. He said, "Take this!"
Bam! Bam! Bam!
One by one, the cultivators were sent flying.
When the leader saw that the situation was bad, he retreated.
His arrogance was completely gone.
Zhu Honggong closed in on the leader's face. His energy fists were like a huge tiger as they pounced.
At the critical moment, a black rift tore open in the sky.
The black rift descended from the sky and separated the two of them.
Bam!
A ray of black light sent Zhu Honggong flying.
"An elite!" Zhu Honggong was shocked. "I should learn from Fourth Senior Brother now. I'll f * cking escape first!"
Whoosh!
Zhu Honggong fled downward.
The leader did not dare to give chase. He merely looked at the rift.
The figure walked out of the rift above. His black brocade robes draped over his shoulders, and the crown on his head gave off a threatening aura. His brows were sharp, and his eyes were fierce.
The leader immediately bowed. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
The figure swept his gaze across the area.
The black light descended and chased after Zhu Honggong.
Zhu Honggong was shocked when he turned around. He stomped his feet, and soundwaves swept out. In the blink of an eye, he was 10,000 meters away.
The supreme-being in the black brocade robes looked into the distance and said, "To think that a mere Dao Saint has such an ability to escape. Alas … do you think you can escape from me? "
