They couldn't wait to see what it would be like to cultivate without a Golden Lotus.
Without a Life Palace and a Natal Chart, would a Dharmakaya still have a cool Star Chart on its back? Everyone had the same question in their minds as they looked at Yu Shangrong.
Yu Shangrong did not mind this at all. He was merely trying to initiate his Birth Chart. This was much easier than severing his Golden Lotus. As the first person to sever his lotus, not many people could survive. How many lives had Great Yan's imperial family, Liu Gu, sacrificed to concoct this life-saving pill? Later on, the lotus-severing cultivation method became more popular and matured. However, the Evil Sky Pavilion's Pavilion Master and his second disciple, the Sword Devil, Yu Shangrong, were always mentioned when it came to the lotus-severing method.
His cultivation was the same as his Sword Dao, it was destined to be filled with hardship and loneliness.
Yu Zhenghai collected his thoughts and watched intently.
Yu Shangrong received the Mountain Cream Beast's Birth Chart Heart from his master. He shrunk his avatar and began to study it.
Lu Zhou said.
"You've just entered the Ten-leaf stage. You should stabilize your cultivation base before you activate your Birth Chart. The higher your cultivation base, the easier it will be for you to activate your Birth Chart, and the less painful it will be."
Yu Shangrong said, "It's nothing compared to severing my lotus."
Lu Zhou nodded.
"The Mountain Cream Beast specializes in defense and strength. The two attributes are compatible. Among the Life Palaces, only the 'Human' Civil and Martial Style is the most suitable. "
He looked below Yu Shangrong's avatar.
There was nothing.
Without a Fate Palace, how could one determine the location of the Civil and Martial Character?
Lu Zhou raised his right hand and waved lightly.
His own Lotus Throne appeared under his hand …
Everyone's eyes lit up. In comparison, the Pavilion Master's lotus seat was like a fully bloomed flower. Every lotus leaf was plump and tall. The Fate Palace area was as big as a dustpan, and the angular Fate Diagram area was shining brightly.
"This is the Civil and Martial Chart … It can accommodate all elementary Birth Charts," Lu Zhou said.
Si Wuya added, "The lifespan of the elementary-grade Birth Chart is 1,500 to 1,800 years. The middle-grade Birth Chart is 1,800 to 2,000 years, and the high-grade Birth Chart is 2,000 to 2,500 years. The high-grade Birth Chart is usually a beast king who can lead the elementary-grade Birth Chart. More than two thousand years ago, the Red Lotus Domain was attacked by a beast tide. There was a major incident of a beast king preying on humans. "
Everyone nodded.
Duanmu Sheng said, "We have the Heart of Birth Chart, but Second Senior Brother doesn't have a Life Palace. How are we supposed to embed it?"
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion looked at Yu Shangrong.
None of them had an idea.
Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to express it easily.
Superficial and ignorant suggestions could easily cause others to fall into the abyss.
Yu Shangrong picked up the Birth Chart Heart and placed it between the feet of his avatar.
It was empty …
He landed on the ground.
He had failed.
The crowd shook their heads helplessly.
He didn't even have a lotus seat, so how could he have a Fate Palace? Where could he throw the heart of fate?
Yu Shangrong made a grabbing motion, and the Birth Chart Heart returned to his palm.
He opened his other hand and ten golden leaves flew into his palm one after another at the speed of light.
He placed the Fate Heart on the lotus leaves one by one.
Apart from the banging sounds, there was no other movement …
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion began to worry as well. If he could not activate his Birth Chart, did that not mean the Sword Devil's journey would end at the Ten-leaf stage?
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he observed.
All ten of his disciples had Great Void Seeds. It would be a pity if they could not improve further.
Ten leaves. The test was completed.
There was still no movement.
"Let's try his dantian's sea of Qi," Si Wuya said.
He placed the Birth Chart Heart in his avatar's dantian's sea of Qi.
There were no changes.
However, when he saw the Birth Chart Heart did not move, a competitive streak rose in him. He raised his palm. Under the control of his energy, the Birth Chart Heart spun around his avatar.
It flew up and down, left and right.
"…"
The Heart of the Life Providence and the long tail of light slowly washed the entire avatar as if it was a bath towel.
A moment later.
The Birth Chart Heart returned to Yu Shangrong's palm.
It did not work.
He could not activate his Birth Chart.
Yu Shangrong looked at his avatar. His eyes were calm, and his heart was as calm as still water.
"Second Senior Brother, it's alright. You've just reached the Ten-leaf stage. Perhaps, your cultivation base isn't stable yet. It'll take some time for you to reach the Birth Chart from the Ten-leaf stage," Little Yuan 'er comforted him with a smile.
Si Wuya nodded and said, "Ninth Junior Sister has a point … The cultivation of humans has always been a gradual process. It's not something that can be achieved in one go. Second Senior Brother, try again when your cultivation base is stable. "
Yu Zhenghai stepped forward and said, "Second Junior Brother, if you can't activate your Birth Chart, I won't. It's not a big deal … "
The others tried to ease the awkward atmosphere in their own ways while comforting Yu Shangrong.
However, who did not know the disappointment of being blocked from becoming an expert?
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly.
"I appreciate your kind intentions, everyone. Although the Thousand Realms was powerful, this was similar to the Eight-leaf stage in the past. Back then, the human cultivators had put in a lot of effort to reach the Nine-leaf stage. Countless predecessors had died one after another. Even though they knew the path ahead was dark, they still pressed forward. This was the true path of cultivation.
"The path of cultivation is a path that defies the heavens. It's bound to be filled with hardships. If everything is smooth sailing, how can one become an expert?"
The four Evil Sky Pavilion elders chimed in.
"Listening to Mister Second's words is better than studying for ten years."
They were in the same boat, after all.
Both of them had severed their lotuses and were recultivating.
They were slightly disappointed that they could not activate their Birth Charts. However, with Yu Shangrong leading the way, they felt much better.
Yu Shangrong cupped his fists at the others. "Let's work hard together."
At this moment, Lu Zhou raised his palm. The Birth Chart Heart flew toward Yu Shangrong's back.
A Life Palace produced a Natal Chart, and a Birth Chart was laid out in the Natal Chart. Once the Birth Chart was activated, the star chart on the avatar's back would be activated as well.
The star chart was the most eye-catching symbol of the Thousand Realms Whirling.
The others looked up.
'The pavilion master has not given up. There's still hope?'
The Birth Chart Heart flew back and forth where the star chart should have been.
It paused for a moment, but the Birth Chart Heart still did not move.
Lu Zhou shook his head slightly.
'What's wrong?'
Lu Zhou controlled the Birth Chart Heart and brought it closer to Yu Shangrong's avatar.
Whizz!
'Hm?'
Lu Zhou sensed a slight change in the Birth Chart Heart.
"Don't move."
The others were shocked. Their eyes were focused on the Birth Chart Heart.
Yu Shangrong did not hold out much hope. However, when he saw his master's serious expression, he obeyed his master's order. He stood where he was and looked at the Birth Chart Heart calmly.
…
Lu Zhou noticed the subtle changes in the air.
He seemed to see the wisps of energy from the Birth Chart Heart entering the avatar's nostrils like smoke.
He immediately chanted the Heavenly Writing power and imbued it into his eyes.
He saw a scene that was not quite the same as the others.
When the Birth Chart Heart was in front of the avatar, some energy would enter the avatar's nostrils. It was very obvious.
He looked at Yu Shangrong.
Every time Yu Shangrong breathed, the avatar would do the same.
'Becoming one with the avatar?'
Lu Zhou retracted his power.
Before severing the lotus, the Golden Lotus could not move. Even the Other Tribesmen who worshipped the wolf king and tiger king could only bite and ram into the lotus like statues.
After severing the lotus, the avatar could do many things.
It was like a cultivator's second body.
It could control it freely.
'Could it be …'
The avatar could absorb the Birth Chart Heart's power?
All this while, severing the lotus did not bring about any benefits other than giving the cultivator more freedom. If the avatar could directly absorb the Birth Chart Heart's power, it would be able to make up for all its shortcomings, including the lack of replenishment of one's lifespan.
What kind of cultivation would happen after the Birth Chart power was absorbed?
Everything was unknown.
However, there were new discoveries.
Lu Zhou retracted his Heaven's Eye power. He stroked his beard slightly and nodded as he said, "The avatar can absorb the Birth Chart Heart's power. Try it …"
"Absorb?" Yu Shangrong was slightly shocked.
This method of cultivation was beyond his understanding.
In the past, the avatar's cultivation relied on the cultivator's breathing to increase the avatar's strength. He had never heard of an avatar absorbing the Birth Chart Heart.
Although Yu Shangrong had his doubts, he trusted his master. He accepted his master's control over the Birth Chart Heart and recited the Return Mantra.
As expected, there was movement.
It was too subtle before. However, it was more obvious now.
Everyone could see the avatar's breathing. It was absorbing the Birth Chart Heart's power like wisps of smoke into the avatar.
"That's possible?"
The others were shocked.
