Nobody knew Yu Shangrong better than Yu Zhenghai.
Yu Shangrong's speed was clearly faster than before. In a fight between elites, the slightest difference could lead to a huge difference. They traveled south from Guannei, passed Jiannan Path, and arrived at Zhao Nan. Along the way, the two of them had been competing in speed. In the end, they were evenly matched.
Yu Zhenghai could sense that Yu Shangrong had increased his speed.
Yu Shangrong could sense it more clearly.
He looked at the avatar in shock. He saw the lotus leaves that had changed color. They resembled a sprout that was about to sprout in spring. Under the golden light, they looked even more crystalline.
This meant he had absorbed the power of the Birth Chart Heart.
"…"
Yu Zhenghai studied Yu Shangrong's avatar and said, "You've grown stronger."
"I can feel it."
"Make your avatar as big as it can be …" Yu Zhenghai suggested.
"There's no need for that."
Yu Shangrong shook his head. "It'll attract too much attention. Based on the miniature avatar, I can tell the avatar's height hasn't increased. "
"That doesn't make sense …" Yu Zhenghai was puzzled. The height of an avatar represented its cultivation base. If it did not increase, how did Yu Shangrong's cultivation base increase?
"It doesn't make sense to sever the lotus. Perhaps, experts are destined to be different from others. They're destined to be … lonely. "
"…"
Yu Zhenghai's words never strayed from his line of work.
This conversation was getting boring.
He was about to form a Thousand Realms avatar again.
Yu Shangrong said, "I've received news from the Evil Sky Pavilion."
He removed a miniature formation cloth from his waist and spread it on the ground. Then, he produced three supreme-grade talismans and lit them.
The talismans hovered above the formation cloth.
Upon seeing this, Yu Zhenghai could not help but praise, "With a talent like you, wise brother, everything will be much more convenient."
Before they parted, Si Wuya had prepared many things for them. Whether it was talismans, formation cloths, or maps, they were all prepared.
A moment later.
Yu Shangrong produced a talisman from the formation cloth. The talisman was carved with words. After reading it, he tossed it to Yu Zhenghai.
"This is for you."
"Mine?"
Yu Zhenghai caught it and read it carefully.
The more he read, the more shocked he became.
"How did master know I'm forming a Thousand Realms? Second Junior Brother, this is the method to form a thousand realms. "Yu Zhenghai laughed heartily." Is master a prophet? "
Yu Shangrong did not forget to dampen their enthusiasm.
"Maybe, you think too much. Previously, when you were dealing with Xiao Yunhe, Master used your sound technique to intimidate everyone. It can be seen that Master is not far away. "
Yu Zhenghai shook his head.
"I don't think so. If master is here, why would he send a message from the Evil Sky Pavilion? Isn't that unnecessary?"
"It's just a technique to form a thousand worlds. We don't know if it'll succeed or not," Yu Shangrong said.
Yu Zhenghai was about to argue when several white figures streaked across the sky.
Yu Shangrong retracted his avatar. With a feint, he returned to the base of the city wall and said, "Someone's here."
The two of them looked up at the sky.
Three white shadows rushed towards the ruins.
"Looks like I'm out of luck today." Yu Zhenghai shook his head and sighed.
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong retracted their auras and did not move.
The appearance of the White Insignia Guard was something that neither of them had expected.
Following that, sounds of discussion could be heard from the place where the Onyx Guards had tried to kill Liang Qu —
"The people from the black tower are truly shameless. It's one thing to give them the entire red lotus domain, but they're even trying to invade a deserted place like Zhao Nan. Since they're the first to break the agreement, we have nothing to say."
"From the looks of it, it seems like they've been here since yesterday. The bloodstains and signs of battle are fresh."
"The black tower broke the agreement first. In that case, we'll occupy Zhao Nan first before we think of a way to enter Great Tang."
"I heard there's an elite in Great Tang. He's not from the black lotus domain or the red lotus domain …"
"That's not our problem. We just have to do our job well. When to enter Great Tang and how to deal with that mysterious elite is the responsibility of the council of elders. "
"The captain is right. What about the stone forest Formation? "
"Destroy it."
"Understood."
Soon after, the deafening sound of energy clashing and colliding rang in their ears. This went on for 15 minutes before it gradually quieted down.
"There should be Birth Chart Beasts in the south. Let's go …"
"Understood."
'Birth Chart Beasts?'
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong looked up at the sky.
The white-robed cultivator flew south. Soon after, he vanished from sight.
Yu Zhenghai said, "As expected, the south is under the white tower's control."
"The conflict between the black and the white has nothing to do with us."
"You have a point."
Yu Zhenghai summoned his avatar again.
He reformed his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar according to the talisman.
Yu Shangrong did not disturb him. Instead, he moved to another corner to reconfirm his speed.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
It was just that he was unable to activate his Birth Providence, but it seemed like he could absorb the Heart of Birth Providence.
He brought out the remaining half of the Birth Chart Heart and summoned his avatar to continue absorbing the Birth Chart Heart.
Two days passed in just a blink of an eye.
…
Night fell.
Yu Shangrong's avatar had finally absorbed all of Liang Qu's Birth Chart Heart.
The crystal-like Birth Chart Heart had turned into a shriveled peach pit that had lost its luster as well.
Yu Shangrong sighed as he sensed the changes in his dantian's sea of Qi.
Without a lotus seat or a Life Palace, he absorbed the Birth Chart Heart directly. Only he knew how it felt. His dantian's sea of Qi was larger than before, and the walls of his sea of Qi had widened as well. What surprised him the most was that the leaves of the golden lotus had turned green again. Under the night sky, it looked like the withered leaves had regained their youthfulness.
"Is this one of Liang Qu's abilities?"
Yu Shangrong was not sure.
Hence, he sensed the vitality in his lower body.
Powerful cultivators could sense the length of their lives. Even mortals would feel like they were about to die when they were nearing the end of their lives.
A moment later.
Yu Shangrong muttered to himself, "800 years?"
According to his understanding, activating a Birth Chart would require one to absorb 1,500 years of life from the Birth Chart Heart. Once the activation was successful, one would gain 500 years of life. He was from the Melilot Nation. The life he received was always half of what other cultivators received. He had thought he would only receive 250 years. He did not expect to receive 800 years.
However, Yu Shangrong did not feel happy about this.
Misfortune and fortune depended on each other, and fortune lurked within misfortune.
It was more practical to increase one's cultivation base than to increase one's lifespan.
Yu Shangrong withdrew his avatar.
"I've finished absorbing the second Birth Chart Heart … What will happen if I continue?"
There was a limit to the amount of energy an avatar could absorb.
The quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change.
"Will I really open up a new path of cultivation like Xiao Yunhe said?"
After this incident, Yu Shangrong was filled with anticipation for the future.
Suddenly, a muffled grunt reached his ears.
Yu Shangrong turned to look. Yu Zhenghai's face was contorted in pain, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Eldest Senior Brother …" Yu Shangrong said with a frown.
"I … I'm fine. Don't mind me." Yu Zhenghai endured the changes in his internal organs.
Crack!
Yu Shangrong's gaze fell on Yu Zhenghai's avatar's lotus seat. He saw distinct plate-like veins around the Birth Chart. When the veins appeared, Yu Zhenghai grunted again.
"F * ck … What can this little pain do to me?"
