If he did not make ample preparations and did not have the Reversal Cards, he would have died of old age if he attempted the Nine-leaf stage like before. Sure enough, the Golden Lotus absorbing lifespan was an extremely terrifying thing.
He suddenly remembered the sword path genius from the northern capital, Gong Yuandu, had spent 100 years in a coffin in the Mausoleum of Swords just to attempt the Nine-leaf stage. Now that he thought about it, 100 years was nothing to an Eight-leaf golden lotus cultivator. Gong Yuandu's sacrifice was not in vain. He told Lu Zhou about the golden lotus absorbing life.
Lu Zhou remembered the leader of the Three Sects, Yun Tianluo, had sacrificed much of his life to reach the Nine-leaf stage. He even sealed the projection of his attempt at the Nine-leaf stage in the chessboard. From the projection, Lu Zhou confirmed the secret of the golden lotus absorbing life.
In that case …
Would the 1,200 years of absorption from Luo Shiyin's notes be accurate?
Lu Zhou was prepared to stop the leaf-sprouting process if necessary. If there was a mistake, he would give up on the leaf-sprouting process. The 900 Reversal Cards would be considered a mistake. As for the opinions of the cultivators under the heavens, it was not a problem. With the Disguise Cards and the Heavenly Writing power, he could still maintain his position. At most, he would thicken his face and say that it was a mistake.
Whizz!
The speed at which the golden lotus spun was twice as fast as before.
Lu Zhou began to use the Reversal Cards faster as well.
He would have to use the Reversal Cards sooner or later.
"Use all the Reversal Cards!"
…
From the direction of the Evil Sky Pavilion's great hall, the golden lotus had obscured their vision.
The vitality energy in the air converged.
The air above the Evil Sky Pavilion was filled with this awe-inspiring aura.
Many people tried to get a better look at Lu Zhou, but they could only see a silhouette.
Most of them shifted their attention to the golden lotus.
At this moment, the vitality energy in the surroundings surged like a tsunami.
The cultivators inside the barrier sensed the powerful vitality energy. An incredulous expression appeared on their faces.
Nobody knew what method Lu Zhou had used to obtain such vitality energy.
Even the Evil Sky Pavilion disciples did not know.
They had seen Lu Zhou unleash the blue lotus's full bloom before. This vitality energy was purer than when the blue lotus was in full bloom.
"We're at the crucial stage!"
"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to reach the Nine-leaf stage."
"If Senior Ji didn't reach the Nine-leaf stage a long time ago, it would be even more thrilling."
"But it looks just like the real thing! Senior Ji, you've really gone to great lengths to create the atmosphere of a breakthrough to the Nine-leaf stage. "
The golden lotus buzzed as it spun too fast.
Lu Zhou, who was bathed in the golden light, could not care less about what the others thought and felt.
At this moment, he was fully focused on reaching the Nine-leaf stage.
Without any experience, without any technique.
This was his first attempt at the Nine-leaf stage. He was also the first person in Great Yan's cultivation world to reach this stage.
Lu Zhou glanced at his remaining life.
Remaining lifespan: 433500
-300！
-200！
-400！
This string of numbers meant that the Reversal Card had reverted him to his youth.
He touched his cheek … looked at his hair …
His skin was like a newborn, and his hair was like ink.
Lu Zhou was momentarily dazed.
Am I … very handsome right now?
However, the buzzing of the golden lotus quickly pulled him back from his narcissism.
He noticed that the numbers on the panel were decreasing rapidly.
This meant the golden lotus was absorbing his life force.
The cultivators felt nervous as they watched this. It was as though they were the ones sprouting a leaf. Although they knew this was only a demonstration, they were still shocked by this scene.
This was the process of sprouting the Nine-leaf stage.
Whether it was inside or outside the barrier, the cultivators who were not qualified to enter the barrier saw this dazzling scene as well.
They finally understood why Senior Ji chose the peak of the Evil Sky Pavilion to demonstrate the process of sprouting a leaf. He wanted all the cultivators to witness this.
Who would not admire such a magnanimous person?
The towering golden radiance, coupled with the 100-foot avatar, towered in the skies, intimidating all living beings.
Its lifespan was comparable to the heavens and earth, and it shone as brightly as the sun and moon.
…
Lu Zhou shifted his attention to his avatar. The golden lotus' vortex slowed down.
He noticed the numbers on the panel had decreased by half.
'Am I reaching saturation?'
The speed at which he absorbed his life force had slowed down.
At the same time, he gauged his body's condition. He was still in the prime of his life.
He had returned to his youth, and he was now in his prime.
Time ticked by. Even though it had slowed down a lot, the number on the interface would decrease every once in a while, and his age would also increase.
"The avatar is growing taller!"
The others exclaimed in shock.
The cultivators on the ground noticed this as well. They saw the avatar growing slowly.
At the same time, they saw the golden lotus growing larger.
"It's about to sprout the Nine-leaf stage!"
The others held their breaths.
They continued to stare at the golden lotus.
To the others, Lu Zhou was merely demonstrating again. He was calm and composed.
However, at this moment, even though he was as calm as an old dog, he felt uneasy at this moment.
'Is the Nine-leaf stage … about to sprout?'
The golden lotus's spinning speed slowed down.
The golden radiance did not diminish at all.
…
In the forest outside the barrier on Golden Court Mountain. The middle-aged man clenched his fists as he stared at the avatar at the peak of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
His eyes widened in shock as he muttered to himself, "The golden lotus domain's Nine-leaf stage … is capable of producing such a large amount of vitality energy?"
He could not understand, nor could he understand. Such a problem did not exist in the red lotus domain.
He had just arrived here not long ago. He did not know that attempting the Nine-leaf stage required the absorption of life. He merely sensed that the process of attempting the Nine-leaf stage from the golden lotus was grander than he had imagined.
Like the cultivators in Great Yan, he was witnessing the changes to the golden lotus.
The avatar was growing taller.
The golden lotus was growing larger.
Many cultivators could be vaguely seen in the forest at this moment.
He ignored them.
The Other Tribesmen cultivators from Rongxi and Rongbei could only watch from outside the barrier. They did not even dare to breathe.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang in the air.
At a corner of the huge golden lotus, an Eight-leaf lotus leaf that was spinning rapidly hovered in the air.
It flowed neatly toward the waist of the huge golden lotus.
"What's going on?"
"I get it now. No wonder it can't reach the Nine-leaf stage … The golden lotus absorbs life, and it'll overflow when it's full. Even without the golden lotus, the lotus leaf will do the same! "
It was an extremely ordinary sentence, but it enlightened all the cultivators, and they instantly understood.
Lu Zhou heard an uproar among the cultivators below. He snapped back to his senses and continued sprouting leaves.
He did not know why this was happening. All he saw was the number on the dashboard was decreasing until it reached four digits.
"Wait … It's been more than 1,300 years!" Lu Zhou frowned.
The 900 Reversal Cards gave him slightly more than 1232 years. In addition to the 112 years he had been in reverse, he had 1,344 years.
Remaining life: 8,675.
Only 23 years left …
The golden lotus had indeed absorbed more than 1,300 years of life. This exceeded Luo Shiyin's notes!
