The speed at which the talisman paper burned was simply too fast.
Countless sages had carved the Formation veins on expensive pieces of paper. When they burned, they could form the energy seals needed for the Formation. From there, they could observe, communicate, and transmit information. Everything has its pros and cons. Talisman paper was one of the most expensive materials. When the Sky Martial Court first sent their men to the golden lotus domain, they only brought 1,000 talismans with them. They were used to send messages and fake Nine-leaf power to lure Qiong Qi out.
Meng Changdong looked at the paper talismans around him with pity and sighed. "I've tried my best to prolong the time."
Little Yuan 'er clenched her fists and stomped her feet.
"Just a little bit more, I wonder which bastard sneak-attacked Sixth Senior Sister!"
Sikong Beichen said,
"There's no need to worry. If I'm not mistaken, your Sixth Senior Sister's weapon is a desolate-grade weapon as well. Moreover, she has mastered karmic power. With the huge beast's help, unless a Ten-leaf cultivator comes, he won't be able to do anything to her."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Lu Zhou remained silent.
Indeed, it was not the right time to charge into the Sky Martial Court.
Apart from the Peak Card, he did not have enough means for now. Moreover, even the Flying Star House was wary of the Sky Martial Court. Clearly, the Sky Martial Court was much more powerful. Perhaps, Yu Chenshu was more difficult to deal with than Ye Zhen.
…
Meanwhile.
When Ye Tianxin tossed the Amorous Hoop in her hand, she saw a streak of light behind her. A Nine-leaf avatar appeared before her. Whoosh!
The streak of light shot past the Nine-leaf red lotus avatar.
"Fourth Senior Brother, you're doing it again!" Ye Tianxin was a little displeased.
She and Cheng Huang had heavily injured the red lotus elite. Just as they were about to take him down, Mingshi Yin took his head at the critical moment.
Mingshi Yin retracted his avatar and appeared in the air. He said with a smile, "Sixth Junior Sister, you must be quick and precise when killing people like this. You can't give them a chance."
"He's no match for me. Do you think he can escape?" Ye Tianxin snorted.
Mingshi Yin suddenly pointed in the direction where the corpse fell and said, "Look, it's alive!"
"Where? Where?"
Ye Tianxin looked down but didn't find anything. The Red Lotus expert fell into the sea and was snatched away by the sea beasts to be eaten. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
When she looked up again, Mingshi Yin was nowhere to be seen.
"Liar."
Ye Tianxin adjusted her thoughts and flew toward Cheng Huang.
Cheng Huang understood, and the two of them cooperated well.
"Cheng Huang, bring me to the Sky Chariot!" Ye Tianxin ordered.
The Sky Chariot's position in the air was much higher than that of ordinary mounts and flying chariots. Its speed, defense, and strength were top-notch. It was also the safest tool for crossing the Endless Ocean.
Cheng Huang threw its head back and roared. The Great Yan cultivators around it were invigorated.
Ever since Ye Tianxin brought Cheng Huang back, it often appeared in the provincial cities. Cheng Huang had become a divine guardian in the hearts of the people of Great Yan.
During this period of time, Shan Cheng Huang killed countless vicious beasts. The great vicious beasts even more so fled at the sight of it, not daring to invade.
The barbarians and Other Tribes sought refuge in Great Yan.
Under Ye Tianxin's command, Cheng Huang soared into the sky.
Ye Tianxin cried out in surprise. She was shocked by Cheng Huang's power.
From the time she met Cheng Huang in the Moonlight Woodland until now, she had never seen Cheng Huang fly in the air. Due to its size, Cheng Huang often did not need to fly, and a single leap could cover an astonishing distance. The Sky Chariot was very far away, so Cheng Huang had to leap into the air. At first, he thought that it was due to inertia.
But …
She soon discovered that Cheng Huang could fly on its own.
It was just like a human.
Ye Tianxin smiled. She patted Cheng Huang's back and said, "Let's go."
The Eight-leaf cultivator who had been maintaining the talisman Formation on the Sky Chariot sensed danger approaching. He thought to himself, 'It's over.'
He retracted his palms.
The talismans scattered in the air, and the talisman Formation disappeared.
…
Inside the Sacred Rites Hall in the Sky Martial Court.
The elders stood on either side of the hall. They looked at the scene that had just disappeared with a grim expression on their faces.
Mo Buyan said, "Looks like the golden lotus domain has become much stronger. We must send a Ten-leaf cultivator out to seize the initiative."
Yu Chenshu's expression was calm.
Jian Tingzhong, who was on Mo Buyan's left, said, "I don't quite agree with Elder Mo."
"What do you think, Elder Jian?"
"We've sent so many people, but all of them failed. The Sky Chariot has just arrived, and we encountered two Nine-leaf cultivators with the help of that colossal creature. The people of the golden lotus domain have long since invaded us. Not only did our people fail to take them down, but we even suffered casualties. It's clear that the golden lotus domain's strength is far superior to ours, "Jian Tingzhong said.
Whether it was Jiang Wenxu or the red lotus karmic fire, Fa Hua, or Gu Ming and the others, none of them survived after they went to the golden lotus domain.
"You have a point, Elder Jian. Moreover, the court master is a respected figure. He can't possibly go to the golden lotus domain. The Sky Martial Court can't do without the court master, "someone said.
Mo Buyan said, "Should we use the palace's Ten-leaf cultivators?"
"Chen Beizheng's death is still a mystery. The palace won't easily send another Ten-leaf cultivator."
As soon as these words left Mo Buyan's mouth …
A Sky Martial Court disciple hurried into the hall. He bowed at the others and said, "Court master, elders, news has come from Cloud Mountain. The Flying Star House's forces were annihilated, and the people from the palace retreated in defeat. Our people are all locked up in Cloud Mountain. "
The others frowned.
The disciple hastened his pace. "The Flying Star House's Master, Chen Tiandu, was killed. The Grand Elder, Ye Zhen … was killed. The palace's Deputy Commander, Lu Zhan, was killed. The Sky Martial Court's chief instructor and three instructors were killed. The others are imprisoned on Cloud Mountain."
"…"
The others' frowns deepened.
Yu Chenshu looked at the disciple and asked, "Ye Zhen is dead as well?"
"It's true."
"Tell me everything in detail. Don't miss a single detail," Yu Chenshu said.
"Understood."
…
Lu Zhou and the people from the Ninth Temple did not leave Cloud Mountain that day. Instead, they were given a private residence on Cloud Mountain.
That night.
Lu Zhou sat cross-legged as he meditated on the Heavenly Writing scrolls to replenish his extraordinary power.
With the Violet Glazed Ceramic's help, his cultivation speed, Primal Qi recovery, and even his extraordinary power recovery rate increased significantly. Moreover, this was the effect of the Violet Glazed Ceramic not being refined again.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes. 'Sharpening the axe will not delay the work of cutting firewood. I should upgrade the Violet Glazed Ceramic.'
He called up the system dashboard and looked at it.
Merit points: 220540
Remaining life: 219744 days
Item: Critical Block Card x138 (passive), Whitzard, Bi An, Ji Liang, Qiong Qi, Disguise Card x1, Golden Taixu Mirror, Appearance Alteration Card x3, Shining Stone x2, Reversal Card x76, Refining Talisman x3
Weapon: Unnamed, Jade Horsetail Whisk, Magistrate Brush, Nine String Zither, Square Box, Violet Glazed Ceramic
Cultivation method: Three Scrolls of Heavenly Writing
…
The merit points were obtained from killing Nascent Divinity realm cultivators and the bonus from the domain realm. Ye Zhen alone was worth tens of thousands of merit points. The others' cultivation bases were not high enough, but they had the advantage in numbers. This was a bountiful harvest.
As he looked at the 220,000 merit points, an idea popped up in Lu Zhou's mind. If he killed everyone from the Sky Martial Court, Cloud Mountain, and the palace, he would have 500,000 merit points. With that, he would be able to afford the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.
Unfortunately, he could only use the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar after reaching the Ten-leaf stage.
Lu Zhou extended his right hand. The Violet Glazed Ceramic that resembled a pearl appeared in his palm.
Then, he produced a Refining Talisman and refined it.
An hour later, the refinement was complete.
"Obtained Violet Glazed Ceramic. Grade: heaven-grade. Can acknowledge a new owner."
Lu Zhou was in no hurry to acknowledge the Violet Glazed Ceramic. Instead, he produced another Shining Stone and upgraded the Violet Glazed Ceramic's grade.
Lu Zhou was familiar with the process. After using the Shining Stone, he no longer paid any attention to the Violet Glazed Ceramic.
Instead, he looked at the merit points on the dashboard and thought about how he should spend them.
He called up the dashboard and looked at the Deadly Strike Card's price.
He decided to replenish his trump cards.
