Lu Zhou put the Birth Chart Heart away. His mind was unprecedentedly excited.
He thought to himself, 'Extraordinary power.'
He sped toward the exit.
He called up the system dashboard.
Merit points: 33130.
He looked at the Deadly Strike Card's price: 26000.
If he used it to kill the Thousand Realms Whirling, he would surely suffer a loss.
The problem was, the Thousand Realms Whirling had Birth Charts. If that was the case, the effect of the Deadly Strike Card would be greatly reduced.
Naturally, the Thousand Realms Whirling was an expert of the Thousand Realms Whirling. It was not easy to accumulate Birth Charts. The rarity of Birth Chart Beasts caused conflicts between the Thousand Realms. Yi Yao must have hated Lu Zhou to the core for taking away a Birth Chart with a single card.
"Guiding Formation veins?"
Lu Zhou remembered the Guiding Formation veins Yi Yao shot into the wall.
If that thing existed, it meant it was a long-term point of contact.
Moreover, if the passageway was beneath the lava, Yi Yao had escaped into the depths of the rift valley. In other words, he was still in the red lotus domain.
If he returned now, he would most likely run into Yi Yao.
He had left in a hurry.
He should have destroyed the Guiding Formation veins.
Lu Zhou flew out of Sky Wheel Valley.
Stars twinkled in the sky as moonlight shone down.
Lu Zhou hovered above the valley. He did not leave immediately.
He pondered for a moment before he muttered to himself, "If he's not convinced, I'll destroy his Birth Chart."
At that time, with his two Birth Charts and karmic fire, it should not be a problem for him to defeat Yi Yao with his three Birth Charts.
'That's not right.
I seem to be able to win.
I should have pursued him while I had the upper hand. Why did I stop while I was ahead?
What a huge loss! '
Lu Zhou dove into Sky Wheel Valley again. He flew past the lava and entered the rift valley.
He looked around.
Unfortunately, Yi Yao did not appear.
He flew toward the Guiding Formation veins and struck the cliff with his palm. The Guiding Formation veins were completely destroyed.
The radiance of the Formation veins dimmed as well.
Plop! Plop!
The rocks fell into the lava.
Gurgling! Gurgling! Gurgling! Bubbles rose from the lava.
"The passageway is closed?"
This seemed to not only be a guiding array pattern, but also a marker for the entrance of a passageway.
Based on the black lotus domain's current strength, they could monopolize the red lotus domain's Birth Chart Beasts. Would they do the same to the golden lotus domain?
The golden lotus domain's limit was between the Eight-leaf stage and the Nine-leaf stage. The golden lotus absorbed one's life force. At the same time, it was shackled by the heavens and the earth. Reaching the Nine-leaf stage would attract huge beasts. Based on Yu Shangrong's current cultivation speed, it would only take a few years for a Ten-leaf cultivator to appear in the golden lotus domain to attract Birth Chart Beasts.
The law of the jungle also applied to the golden lotus.
In the past, no one had paid any attention to the Birth Chart Beasts because they were weak. Once the Birth Chart Beasts appeared, wouldn't the black lotus domain attack the Birth Chart Beasts in the golden lotus domain?
Let's go back first.
Lu Zhou did not linger.
They left the Sky Wheel Canyon.
…
About an hour after Lu Zhou left.
Far away from the lava rift, Yi Yao walked out with his hand on his shoulder.
"So cunning?!"
With a lingering fear, Yi Yao looked at the exit of the valley. Fortunately, he had been patient enough to stay in the valley for an hour. Otherwise, he would have been caught by that mysterious warrior again.
Wow.
Yi Yao spat out a mouthful of blood, controlling his body to hover in the air.
"Who is this person? Blue Lotus Emissary? "Yi Yao clenched his teeth as he looked at the long destroyed guiding formation pattern.
"The Black Tower Council never had any records of Blue Lotus. What went wrong?"
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"
Yi Yao gritted his teeth as he endured the heart-wrenching pain. When he thought about this, he shuddered. In his mind, the black lotus domain was the true hunter, and the others were sheep. What the heck was a blue lotus domain?
He could not figure it out.
"I must report this to the Black Tower Council."
He looked at the lava below him.
Whizz!
He summoned the Thousand Realms Whirling.
The Thousand Realms Whirling dropped from its previous height of 500 feet to 450 feet.
When he recalled Lu Zhou's golden Great Seal of Fearlessness, he shuddered involuntarily.
The principle of a Birth Chart was to absorb 1,500 years of a beast's life. At the same time, it would form an angular Birth Chart that provided the cultivator with 500 years of life. Apart from increasing one's cultivation base, lifespan, and possessing the power of a Birth Chart, a Birth Chart could also help its master block a fatal blow. Naturally, this also meant losing a Birth Chart. He was the only one who knew how it felt.
The importance of a Birth Chart was self-evident. On top of that, he had lost an arm. How could he not feel resentful?
Yi Yao looked at the entrance and said, "I'll remember you. The next time we meet, I'll destroy your Birth Chart and take your worthless life."
Boom!
Yi Yao charged into the lava with the Thousand Realms Whirling.
Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle! A moment later, there was no more movement.
…
It was almost midnight.
Lu Zhou returned to the Sky Martial Court's Wenxing Hall.
With the Violet Glazed Ceramic and his cultivation base, it would be difficult for anyone to notice him.
When he returned to Wenxing Hall, Lu Zhou did not feel happy that he had obtained a new Birth Chart Heart.
His greatest trump card, the Deadly Strike Card, could no longer be used as his most powerful trump card.
This was his first time fighting the Thousand Realms Whirling head-on. Only now did he learn more about the uses of Birth Charts.
He recalled his first encounter with Lu Li. If they had fought, he might have been at a disadvantage. Naturally, he had more than 500,000 merit points at that time. It would not have been a problem for him to destroy five Birth Charts.
For a long time, the Deadly Strike Card was only a trump card.
"Deadly Strike" was only a trump card, not a way to earn merit points. The increase in the price was bound to make him treat it cautiously.
However, at this moment …
It seemed to have become useless!
Cultivators below the Mysterious Heaven realm did not need this card. However, if he could not finish off those above the Mysterious Heaven realm with one card, would it not become a useless card?
"Yi Yao will surely seek revenge on me … How should I deal with this?"
Lu Zhou looked at the dashboard.
Merit points: 33130
Remaining life: 961401 days (2,634 years, 110 years of reversal)
'How poor.'
'More than 30,000.'
It was clearly not worth it to buy the Deadly Strike Card now. Instead of using it against the Thousand Realms, he might as well spend more effort on his Birth Charts.
He placed the Crimson Mantis' Birth Chart Heart before him.
"Crimson Mantis' Birth Chart Heart. Can activate Birth Charts and provide 2,000 years of life. Ability: Fire Manipulation." (Note: Each Birth Chart increases a cultivator's life by 500 years. A Life Palace needs 1,500 years of life to absorb it. Hence, the Crimson Mantis has more than 500 years of life.)
Lu Zhou took out the cloth and studied the human-grade Birth Chart areas. He wanted to know which Birth Chart areas were suitable for the fire element. The Yong was defensive while the Scarlet Beast was fire-resistant. At the same time, it was offensive. Fire manipulation and the Scarlet Beast's fire-resistance complemented each other.
After reading the description on the Birth Chart Cloth, Lu Zhou saw the earth-grade Greedy Fire Grid and the human-grade Left and Right Palace Grid. The Greedy Fire Grid granted the wielder the ability to control fire, and the Same Palace allowed the wielder to release all Birth Charts.
"I can activate the earth-grade Birth Chart if I'm not done activating the human-grade?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
Whizz!
He activated the Thousand Realms Whirling.
He looked at the position in the lotus Life Palace. He picked up the Crimson Mantis' Birth Chart Heart and gently placed it in the Lotus Greedy Fire Grid.
"Ding! This Birth Chart can only be activated after activating at least five Birth Charts."
Lu Zhou thought to himself, 'I knew it.'
In that case, he had no choice but to place the Birth Chart Heart in the same palace grid. It was not a bad idea to place it with the Scarlet Beast's fire-resistance Birth Chart.
Lu Zhou picked up the Birth Chart Heart and placed it in the same palace.
Sizzle!
The Birth Chart Heart sank.
Life energy began to flow into the Birth Chart like a hole.
Lu Zhou knew this process would take a long time. He no longer paid attention to it. He closed his eyes and meditated while waiting for the Birth Charts to be activated.
An hour later.
Swoosh!
A scorching sensation washed over him.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes and saw a raging fire burning in his Life Palace.
He looked like a golden statue bathed in fire.
"Karmic fire?"
Previously, the karmic fire only appeared on the lotus and on his shoulders. Now, it was burning in his Life Palace.
It looked more like a brazier with flames burning in it.
Swoosh!
Flames rose.
"Ding! Life energy overflowing from the Birth Chart Heart. Converting it into energy."
Lu Zhou immediately felt an unbearable burning sensation throughout his body. His internal organs and dantian's sea of Qi were filled with karmic fire.
"Damn it."
As expected, the Birth Chart Heart could not be used recklessly. Just like taking medicine, there would be side effects if taken in excess.
