Lu Li was slightly shocked. He was shocked by the old man's ability to disguise himself.
A cultivator who had yet to activate his Birth Chart and form the Thousand Realms Whirling was able to deceive his eyes. When the old man reverted to his old appearance, Lu Li even sensed a dangerous aura from him.
It was purely the instinct of an outstanding cultivator.
"You seem surprised," Lu Zhou said.
The Deadly Strike Card in Lu Zhou's hand disappeared as soon as he said this. When he canceled the Appearance Alteration Card, he retrieved the Deadly Strike Card. The temper of an expert was unpredictable. He might be enraged by the deception of his appearance.
The human heart was even more unpredictable. Sometimes, one would not even know how one died.
Lu Li had regained his composure. He faced the sea again and said, "I remember an old friend …"
"An old friend?"
Lu Zhou was puzzled.
He was about to ask when Lu Li shook his head and said with a sigh, "It's fine if I don't talk about it. I'm just worried that you'll get sick of it."
"…"
'Bring it on! I won't get sick of it!'
"I have plenty of time. Feel free to speak your mind," Lu Zhou said.
Lu Li shook his head. A melancholic expression appeared on his face as he said, "My time is limited … It's fate that we met. Farewell. "
"Wait."
Lu Zhou stopped him. "Since you've saved my life, I'll give you a word of advice. If you're really going to the Endless Ocean to kill that sea beast that's tens of thousands of feet long, I advise you to give up. You're no match for it."
Lu Li was slightly shocked. "You've seen that sea beast before?"
"I've seen it when I crossed the Endless Ocean. I don't think I can take it down," Lu Zhou said honestly.
"…"
Lu Li looked at Lu Zhou, stunned. He did not understand why this old man who did not have the aura of a Thousand Realms Whirling or a Birth Chart gave off such an inexplicable pressure.
"I'm not going after that sea beast. I'm going after another one," Lu Li said.
"Oh?"
"However, I'm grateful for your reminder. I can see endless potential in you. Perhaps, you'll understand all of this one day. Farewell. "Lu Li walked toward the surface of the sea, not a drop of water on him.
"Wait."
Lu Zhou called out again, "Yu Chenshu is the Sky Martial Court's Master. He's a selfish person. Why did you save him?"
"I don't know if he's good or evil. If you think he's an eyesore, just kill him."
"Since you want humans to help each other, why didn't you help the red lotus domain?" Lu Zhou could not understand this.
After all, he was the mighty Thousand Realms Whirling Boss.
Now that he had opened five Birth Horoscopes, he could do whatever he wanted in the Red Lotus Domain.
With just a little help, one's golden lotus or red lotus could quickly grow stronger.
Lu Li looked at him with a complicated expression.
The multicolored rays receded and the sky darkened.
"Alright then …"
He produced something from his sleeve and tossed it to Lu Zhou as he said, "This is the chart of the Natal Chart and Fate Palaces. I hope it'll be of help to you on your Thousand Realms Whirling Path."
Just as Lu Zhou was about to catch the item …
Hum —
The Dharmakaya of the Thousand Realms Whirling stood before him.
The fish beasts at the bottom of the sea all fled.
The birds and beasts near the shoreline fled in fright.
Lu Zhou saw the huge black lotus again. At the center of the black lotus, there was a faintly discernible astrolabe pattern. Five bright spots shone brightly.
'This astrolabe?'
When he looked up, he saw a huge black astrolabe behind the avatar's head. The veins were thicker and clearer than the ones at the center of the lotus.
In the next second …
The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar vanished.
The surface of the sea returned to normal.
It was as though nothing had happened.
"…"
Lu Zhou did not know why Lu Zhou was in such a hurry to leave.
However, he could not force Lu Zhou to stay.
Perhaps, Lu Li had some sort of restriction that forced him to complete the mission within a certain period of time.
Alas, the time he had was too short. The information he obtained was limited. Even so, Lu Zhou was enlightened.
At the very least, he had seen the Thousand Realms Whirling with his own eyes.
…
He looked around.
After confirming that Lu Li had left, Lu Zhou opened the item Lu Li gave him.
Lu Zhou opened the item Lu Li had given him. It was a piece of special cloth that was soft and heavy.
His gaze fell on the piece of cloth.
There was a pattern of 36 triangles drawn on it. The center of the triangles overlapped and formed a single point. They were arranged clockwise in a picturesque manner. At first glance, it looked like a blooming flower.
Every corner was labeled with a name. There were 36 names in total.
"Lian Zhenwen Wu Grid, Hidden Jade in the Rock Grid, Moon Born in the Vast Ocean Grid …"
To be honest, he could not understand it at all. It was even more strenuous than reading the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
Apart from that, there was no other information.
The pattern was simple and complicated.
However, it shocked Lu Zhou.
"Is this the Birth Chart?"
It was better not to look at it. He was even more puzzled now that he did.
He put the cloth away.
Lu Zhou looked at the boundless ocean. Lu Li was nowhere to be seen.
Without wasting any time, Lu Zhou flew up and returned the way he came. After flying for a short distance, he picked up the unconscious Yu Chenshu and disappeared into the horizon.
…
After what seemed like hours, night fell.
The depths of Sky Wheel Valley were covered in a sea of fire.
The cultivators from the Kunlun Orthodox Sect and the Void Cleanse Temple had finally recovered some of their Primal Qi. They tried to go deeper into the valley to see what was going on. Alas, the intense heat made them uncomfortable. They did not dare to go deeper.
Nobody knew what happened after Lu Zhou and Yu Chenshu entered the valley.
No one knew why the mighty cultivator of the Thousand Realms Whirling had appeared in the rift valley.
"If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have acted in the first place! I wouldn't have acted in the first place! "Xuan Chengzi looked into the depths of the valley with a regretful expression on his face.
"There's no use in regretting it. We're already here …" Mo Xinglu said.
She shook her head helplessly as she looked at the corpses strewn all over the valley.
"Retreat."
The two great sects left the valley with lingering fear in their hearts.
The corrosion of the karmic fire would serve as a constant reminder to them.
After the two sects left, another four hours passed.
In the eastern horizon, Lu Zhou appeared above Sky Wheel Mountain Range with Yu Chenshu.
Lu Zhou shook his head as he hovered above the valley under the moonlight.
Ahem!
At this moment, Yu Chenshu inhaled. His eyes widened as he surveyed his surroundings with a dazed expression on his face.
Yu Chenshu, who was numb and thought he was going to die, had a horrified expression on his face.
"You're awake?" Lu Zhou did not look at him. He continued to look at the corpses, the ruins, and the sea of fire in Sky Wheel Valley.
Yu Chenshu was in disbelief. He looked to his left and right. Everything around him was hard to believe. After a long while, he finally accepted the reality before his eyes. He gradually calmed down.
"Why did you save me?!" Yu Chenshu said.
Lu Zhou did not look at him.
He said, "Did you think I would save you?"
"…"
Under the moonlight.
Lu Zhou turned around.
When Yu Chenshu looked up and saw the sage-like and aged Lu Zhou, he exclaimed in shock, "Who are you?!"
Lu Zhou glanced at him as though he was looking at a fool.
"Where's Luo Xuan?"
Realization dawned on Yu Chenshu.
Realization dawned on Yu Chenshu. Due to the severity of his injuries, his breathing was labored. His coughing worsened until he coughed up more blood.
His chest had been pierced twice. It was already a miracle that he was still alive. How could he possibly be jumping around?
"The winner takes all. Do whatever you want to me." Yu Chenshu no longer tried to resist.
"Aren't you invincible?"
"…"
Yu Chenshu lowered his head. Everything seemed pale and powerless before the truth.
Lu Zhou said, "You've seen the Thousand Realms Whirling. In their eyes, the red lotus domain is less than an ant … Do you think I won't be able to find Luo Xuan if you don't tell me?"
