The others looked at the end of the long table. There was not a trace of joy or sorrow on her calm and exquisite features.
She lifted her head, looked to the front and asked, "Where is Ning Wanqing?"
"Judge Ning went to the golden lotus domain to investigate the deaths of the White Protectors. He said he'd go to Zhao Nan as well."
"Mhm …"
Her gaze fell on the table. "Bring back the Birth Chart Heart from Yingzhao Mountain no matter what. Thank you, everyone. "
"Understood."
She did not continue speaking.
Instead, she slowly rose to her feet.
Her slender figure and her black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall complemented each other.
She walked out of the great hall.
The white pagoda was 10,000 feet tall and pierced the clouds.
He looked down at the vast expanse of whiteness. It was as though a thousand miles of ice and snow were drifting in the air.
…
Three days passed in just a blink of an eye.
However, the land of the Red Lotus Summoning South was still overcast, and no light could be seen year-round. No one knew why.
Lu Zhou's Taixuan Power was fully charged.
All of a sudden, he smelled a faint fragrance.
"My sense of smell has become stronger?"
Lu Zhou found it hard to believe.
He walked out of the dilapidated house and followed the fragrance.
He saw a few Black Protectors eating barbecue around a bonfire.
It was said that a person's memory of smell was permanent. With just a sniff, he knew the fragrance came from the Black Protectors.
"Brother Lu." Xiao Yunhe walked over.
Xiao Yunhe's aura was sour and rotten.
How long had it been since he last bathed?
'Is this the effect of the seventh technique?'
Lu Zhou had thought this technique would be of little value. However, it seemed like that was not the case. In the cultivation world, many people would conceal their auras and even disguise themselves to deceive others. However, smell was something that most people would overlook.
If he could smell it, would he be able to distinguish the aura of a cultivator?
This was a situation where he didn't use any divine abilities, so he could only smell ordinary scents.
In conclusion, there were only two types of ordinary scents: fragrant and stinky.
Lu Zhou silently recited the Heavenly Writing technique.
The fragrant and stinky scents were right in front of him.
He could feel the coolness of a mint rush to the roof of his mouth.
The cold smell of sake wafted from Xiao Yunhe's body.
'Is this the smell of cultivation?'
Philosophically speaking, there were no two identical leaves in the world. The same applied to cultivation.
Even if two people cultivated with the same teacher, the same cultivation method, and the same cultivation method, the final results would still be different.
"Brother Lu?" Xiao Yunhe saw Lu Zhou was deep in thought.
Lu Zhou snapped back to his senses and said, "Xiao Yunhe, are you the former Pagoda Master?"
Xiao Yunhe was slightly stunned.
He finally remembered to ask this question!
He nodded proudly and said, "It's all in the past, let's not talk about it."
Lu Zhou turned around with his hands on his back. He planned to check on Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong's auras.
After all, he had destroyed five of his Life Providences, and it was very rude to poke at his scars.
"…"
Xiao Yunhe looked embarrassed.
…
Lu Zhou walked up to where Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong were. He hovered several meters in the air and looked down at them.
He saw Yu Shangrong's avatar absorbing the Birth Chart Heart.
Thus, he silently recited the Heavenly Writing's supernatural power again.
He could sense an indescribable and mysterious aura around Yu Shangrong.
"This is the smell of the Great Void?"
Something stirred within Lu Zhou.
Before this, he had only observed his disciples from afar with the Heaven's Eye power. He had never used it before.
What would happen if he used the two powers on top of each other?
Then, he used the Heaven's Eye power.
He infused the Profound Void power into his eyes.
His blue eyes shone brightly. Coupled with the darkness that blotted out the sky, it looked mysterious and peculiar.
He saw the auras on Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai. They were very similar, but slightly different.
Yu Shangrong's aura flowed swiftly like a natural breeze.
Yu Zhenghai's aura was domineering, swift, and powerful like an erupting volcano.
Both auras had one thing in common. Their auras surrounded their bodies, and their Spiritual Essence flowed. They filled heaven and earth and blended well with their surroundings.
When their auras flowed through their dantian's sea of Qi, they could easily communicate with the Primal Qi in heaven and earth and form a bridge.
"No wonder so many people want the Great Void's aura."
Lu Zhou retracted his power.
For now, the only uses he could think of were the ability to distinguish and track by scent.
This power did not expend as much Profound Void power as the Heaven's Eye power. It could be maintained for a longer time. It could be considered an improvement to his own abilities.
In the evening.
Yu Shangrong reported to Si Wuya that he was safe and told them not to worry.
Si Wuya and the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion remained in the pass. However, Mingshi Yin had already left for Zhao Nan. Nobody knew where he was.
…
A month passed in just a blink of an eye.
The peace of Zhao Nan was finally broken.
"Brother Lu, there's movement 100 miles southwest of Zhao Nan."
Xiao Yunhe and Wu Chao appeared outside Lu Zhou's dilapidated little house.
During this period of time, the Wu Dynasty was secretly investigating everywhere.
The others stayed here to cultivate.
When Lu Zhou heard this, he walked out.
"Yingzhao Mountain has appeared?"
Wu Chao said, "I'm not sure if it's Yingzhao Mountain, but I'm certain that the Black Tower and White Tower have sent many cultivators. Also … the Dark Glory Alliance and the Great Yuan Dynasty have appeared as well. "
"The Black Lotus Alliance sure is proactive," Lu Zhou said.
"If it's really Yingzhao Mountain, it's only natural that the other factions would show up." Xiao Yunhe said, "To tell you the truth, I want the Yingzhao Mountain's Birth Chart Heart as well. It can help me recover my Birth Chart."
'Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?'
Lu Zhou's expression remained unchanged as he said, "It's that effective?"
"I was thinking of using the conflict between the black and white factions to reap the benefits. However, it seems like that's going to be difficult. Brother Lu, I'm afraid the Birth Chart Heart isn't fated with you and me, "Xiao Yunhe said.
"Indeed." Lu Zhou nodded.
"…"
As they spoke …
Many cultivators flashed past the distant horizon, one after another, like falling snow. There were thousands of them.
"The White House's Humble Sect." Xiao Yunhe pointed at the cultivators in the sky.
"The White House's Humble Sect?"
"The White Lotus Alliance isn't like the Black Lotus Alliance. The factions are more divided and have serious internal strife. The cultivators of the White Lotus Alliance are more united. Apart from the White Tower, the faction with the most members is the White House's Humble Sect. As the name suggests, they're all cultivators from poor backgrounds. They have the same background. That's why the White House's Humble Sect is very united. " Xiao Yunhe said with a sigh, "Alas, the poor are destined to fall behind. They have many members but few elites. They're mostly Eighty or Ninety-leaf cultivators. The Black Tower calls them a rabble. "
The white silhouettes in the sky gradually disappeared, all of them flying towards the southwest.
"What other factions are there? What's the highest cultivation base? "Lu Zhou asked.
Wu Chao shook his head and said, "The Black and White Tower's Adjudicators must've arrived. There's also a small number of rogue cultivators. There's also a group of arrogant red lotus cultivators. I've scared them away. They're just throwing their lives away. As for the highest cultivation base … If the Pagoda Master appears, it won't be lower than 12 Birth Charts. "
Lu Zhou nodded. He looked southwest and said, "That's right.
He looked southwest and said, "I must obtain the Birth Chart Heart of Yingzhao Mountain. Dijiang. "
His voice deepened.
"Squeak!"
Dijiang, who had been holed up in the room, ran out.
It lowered its wings and welcomed its master as he leaped onto it.
Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai heard the commotion and hurried over.
"Master."
Lu Zhou glanced at Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong.
He suddenly noticed that Yu Shangrong's aura had become much stronger.
"Have you used all the Birth Chart Hearts?" Lu Zhou asked, puzzled.
Yu Shangrong nodded. He was about to apologize when Lu Zhou said, "There's no need for that. The Birth Chart Heart is meant for you to use."
Xiao Yunhe looked at Yu Shangrong in shock. He asked, "Can you really absorb the Birth Chart Hearts?"
"I was just lucky," Yu Shangrong said.
"That's strange. I've tried this method before, but I can't absorb it." Xiao Yunhe was puzzled.
"You have too many Birth Charts. It'll be difficult for you to replenish your Life Palace through absorption," Yu Zhenghai said.
"Maybe."
Xiao Yunhe sighed.
Lu Zhou leaped onto the Imperial River and looked southwest. Then, he looked at the others.
"The competition for Yingzhao Academy is full of danger. If you are afraid … you can choose not to go. I will not force you."
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong did not hesitate.
Xiao Yunhe said,
"Since Brother Lu insists on going, I will accompany you to the end."
