As he breathed in and out …
The energy in the Heart of Life Providence turned into green smoke and entered his nostrils, fusing with his avatar.
It was as if it had become a part of the Dharmakaya.
However, the transformation of the avatar was not obvious, and it was almost undetectable.
This process lasted for two whole hours.
Yu Shangrong was almost done absorbing the Birth Chart Heart.
The light also became much dimmer.
"He really absorbed it!"
"Like I said, there's always a way out. If that's the case, my avatar will become stronger and stronger."
Everyone waited expectantly for the Dharmakaya to finish absorbing the Life Providence. They were in no hurry.
Even Yu Zhenghai was watching intently.
Most of the people present had entered the cultivation stage of severing their lotuses. They were unwilling to let go of even a single detail. This was related to whether or not they could become a thousand-realm expert in the future.
…
In the evening.
The doppelganger buzzed.
The golden light illuminated the entire Eastwoods mountain range … and finally, the Fate Heart completely dimmed, falling down. In the end, only a shell was left, like a dry peach pit, devoid of vitality and crystal clear energy.
This meant that the Fate Heart had been absorbed.
Yu Shangrong pushed his palm against his dantian's sea of Qi and sighed.
Si Wuya walked over and asked, "What's changed?"
Yu Shangrong said.
"My lifespan has increased by about five hundred years. As for the others … they don't seem to have much effect. "
Si Wuya asked, "Only your lifespan increased?"
If that was the case, then it wasn't worth it. This was something that could be achieved with the life heart. The Heart of Fate was truly a waste.
Everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with this result.
"The Birth Chart Heart contains the Birth Chart Power. This is a unique power. Since the avatar has absorbed it, it shouldn't have disappeared." Si Wuya found this strange.
Pan Litian said.
"Could it be that it's not enough? Why don't you give all three of them to Mister Second? "
Yu Shangrong shook his head.
"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Pan. One Birth Fate Heart has already been wasted. There's no need to use anything else."
Everyone sighed.
At this moment, Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said,
"It's a good thing that I can absorb it … As for whether I can activate my Birth Providence, I still need to figure it out."
"Yes."
"It's getting late. Let's go back first."
Everyone bowed.
Together, they boarded the Sky Carriage and returned to the capital.
…
Night fell.
Inside the Hall of Healing.
Lu Zhou called up the system dashboard and took inventory of his gains from Donglin Mountain Range.
Merit points: 178500
Remaining lifespan: 642420 days (236 years of reversal from 1760).
Items: Critical Block Card x158 (passive), Golden Taixu Mirror, Disguise Card x2, Synthesis Card x2.
Mounts: Bai Ze, Bi An, Ji Liang, Qiong Qi, Dang Kang, Dijiang.
Weapon: Unnamed, Jade Horsetail Whisk (Heaven), Magistrate Brush (Super Heaven), Purple Glazed Glass (Flood), Cold Wind Trident (Early Desolate), Confinement Seal (Flood), Dragon Hawk's Fury (Desolate), Flash Hook (Desolate), Ocean Soul Pearl (Combine).
Overall, it was a small profit.
After using the Deadly Strike Skill, Jiang Yi obtained merit points, three Fate Providence Hearts, and three Fire Spirit Rocks.
He had to replenish his trump cards.
Lu Zhou looked at the price of a Deadly Strike Card: 30,000 yuan.
It was getting more and more expensive.
There is a sense of inflation.
However, Lu Zhou did not purchase the Deadly Strike Card immediately. Instead, he tried the lucky draw.
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! You've spent 50 merit points and obtained Reversal Card x5."
He had used up all his Reversal Cards.
This was a good time to replenish some of them.
When he activated a new Birth Chart in the future, he could leave the Birth Chart Hearts for his disciples to use.
Shan Zhi and Xi Qu's Birth Chart Hearts were elementary-grade Birth Charts. If he wanted to activate his fifth Birth Chart, he would need a special Birth Chart Beast or an intermediate-grade Birth Chart.
Lu Zhou had already used up his civil and martial Birth Charts. There was no need for him to use these Birth Charts.
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! You've spent 50 merit points and obtained Reversal Card x5."
"Lucky draw."
"Ding! You've spent 50 merit points. Thank you for trying. Luck + 1."
'This is bad.'
Lu Zhou suddenly had an ominous feeling.
As expected, he continued to draw until midnight. Every time he did so, he received a 'thank you for trying.'
His shoulders ached from the lucky draw.
"I thought I could get a Deadly Strike Card … Judging by the pace, I can forget about it until dawn."
Lu Zhou shook his head with a sigh.
After studying the pattern of the lucky draw for a long time, he finally came to a conclusion. It was getting harder and harder to get something good.
"Purchase a Deadly Strike Card."
At this moment, only cultivators with Eight Birth Charts in the Thousand Worlds and above could pose a threat to him.
He had no use for the other Deadly Strike Cards at all. It was most worth it to buy three Deadly Strike Cards.
When he was done, he discovered that he had spent 93,000 merit points.
It was true that the price increased with each purchase.
At the same time, he bought another Impeccable Card.
Lu Zhou looked at the remaining merit points on the dashboard and muttered to himself, "Everything's back to square one …"
If Wu Guangping could kill all the Birth Charts …
However, based on the situation at the time, it was almost impossible.
Then, Lu Zhou activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic and meditated on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
…
Two days later.
The Hall of Cultivation.
His Profound Power was restored to its original state.
Si Wuya carried the old parchment drawing into the hall.
"Master, I have something to report."
"What is it?" Lu Zhou's gaze fell on the old parchment drawing.
He discovered that the old parchment drawing had undergone many changes. A special area had appeared in the red lotus domain. It looked like a wasteland, but it also resembled a dilapidated building.
"When I was looking at the map this morning, I noticed something amiss. I didn't dare to delay, so I brought it here for you to see, master."
Si Wuya pointed at the southwest corner of the red lotus domain.
"This old parchment drawing is slightly mysterious. I think it's some kind of ancient artifact. Many areas and maps on it are covered by a special power. However, it seems like they'll be revealed as time passes … "Si Wuya said.
Lu Zhou could not tell Si Wuya that it was given to him by the system. Hence, he nodded.
Si Wuya continued to say, "This place used to be the Zhao Nan Nation. Due to natural and man-made disasters, it became uninhabited and became part of Great Tang. This should be a barren land. There's no need to bother with it. I'm thinking if the map can be completely revealed, I might be able to uncover the secret of the heaven and earth shackle. "
Based on past events, this area would not appear on the map for no reason.
Lu Zhou called up the system dashboard and glanced at the mission column. As expected, there was a new mission.
"Search for a new Open Heavenly Writing Scroll."
This mission had not appeared for a long time.
The meaning behind the two was clear. There was a new Open Heavenly Writing Scroll in the red lotus domain.
'Don't tell me … I have to go to Zhao Nan myself?'
When Si Wuya saw his master was distracted, he called out, "Master?"
"There's no need to rush the secret of the heaven and earth shackle. Where are your Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother? "Lu Zhou asked.
Si Wuya said.
"Eldest Senior Brother has just reached the Ten-leaf stage. He said that he plans to try activating his Birth Chart in a month. It'll be safer that way. Second Senior Brother might not be in a good mood because he hasn't activated his Life Providence. He has been practicing his sword techniques for two days without stopping. "
"Call them over."
"Yes."
He turned around and left.
He left.
Lu Zhou felt the black talisman move.
He took out the black talisman and lit it up … It burned fiercely.
Yan Zhenluo appeared.
"Brother Lu, did you kill Wu Guangping?" Yan Zhenluo looked surprised.
Lu Zhou did not hide the truth. He nodded and said, "Wu Guangping tried to harm my disciple. How can I allow him to do so?"
Yan Zhenluo said, "Murder Brother Lu's disciple?"
"Do I look like someone who lies?" Lu Zhou asked.
Yan Zhenluo: "Serves him right."
Lu Zhou.
"In any case, you're a member of the Black Tower. Instead of speaking up for your own people, you're siding with an outsider … Why did you contact me?"
Yan Zhenluo said, "Two days ago, the Black Tower quarreled over Wu Guangping's death. I'm worried that the radicals will send more people to the red lotus domain. "
"Now that Wu Guangping is dead, would they dare to come again?"
"I don't think so … There's a conflict between the Black Tower and the Dark Light Alliance. They can't even take care of themselves now. Moreover, there's internal strife. Both sides are making their own plans, "Yan Zhenluo said." There's one more thing to remind you, Brother Lu. We've lost too many Birth Chart Beasts. Once the Black Tower stabilizes the situation, they might carry out a purge plan, "Yan Zhenluo said.
"A purge plan?"
"Purge all the cultivators above the Ten-leaf stage in the red lotus domain," Yan Zhenluo said.
"If the hunters want to eat the lamb, they should get rid of the sheep that might turn into wolves. That's a good idea. "Lu Zhou nodded.
"Aren't you afraid, Brother Lu?"
"When the water comes, the earth will block it. I've never been afraid in my life, "Lu Zhou said.
Something stirred in Yan Zhenluo.
"I remember you're from the golden lotus domain, Brother Lu. To tell you the truth, the Black Tower has sent the Black Insignia Guards to the golden lotus domain. "
"I know that."
Lu Zhou remembered Lian Xing who was by Zhao Yue's side.
"I'm relieved that you know that, Brother Lu. How's Lu Li doing?" Yan Zhenluo asked.
"He's fine."
Lu Li's life was more comfortable than the Emperor's.
Yan Zhenluo seemed delighted as he said, "Thank you, Brother Lu … I'll send you the talismans and the method to make them."
Lu Zhou nodded and said, "It's best if you send me the information about the runic passageway as well."
"I'll do my best. The runic passageway is confidential information. I'll contact you later, Brother Lu."
"Alright."
The talismans were extinguished.
The projection vanished.
Shortly after, Si Wuya brought Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong into the Life Nourishment Hall.
"Greetings, master."
"Rise."
Lu Zhou stood up slowly with his hands on his back. "I've summoned you here because I have a mission for you."
Yu Zhenghai smiled and said, "I can do it alone.
Second Junior Brother has just absorbed the Birth Chart Heart and needs to stabilize his digestion … Please give me your instructions, master. "
Yu Shangrong said, "I'll do it alone.
The effects of the Birth Chart Heart are limited. Eldest Senior Brother, on the other hand, needs to stabilize his cultivation base and prepare to activate his Birth Chart. If there's a mission, I can handle it alone. Please give me your instructions, master. "
PS: Two chapters of 5K words. There's no need to rush Second Senior Brother's golden lotus domain. He's already set it up. It's a brand new path of trials. It's ferocious, but it needs some time. Please give me recommendation votes and monthly votes. Thanks.
