Qin Naihe looked at the smiling Si Wuya and felt like Si Wuya had been possessed by Lu Zhou. Was it an illusion? He shook his head, feeling like he was overthinking things. After all, like master, like disciple.
Finally, Qin Naihe cupped his fists together and said, “I hope you’ll look after me…”
“Of course.”
Then, Qin Naihe raised his head and looked at Zhu Honggong who was still hovering in the air. “You said you’re going to look for mystic microstones?”
Zhu Honggong nodded. “That’s right. Why?”
“Mystic microstones are extremely rare and precious, far more precious than obsidian essences or fire spirit stones. I searched for so long in the periphery of the Unknown Land and almost lost my life only to find one…” Qin Naihe said.
Upon hearing these words, Si Wuya said with a smile, “Brother Qin, please don’t mind him. My junior brother doesn’t know how to keep his mouth shut, and he likes to brag.”
“I’m not bragging! There are really many mystic microstones!” Zhu Honggong protested.
Seeing that Zhu Honggong was going to continue bragging, Si Wuya quickly interjected, “Zhao Hongfu, bring him away and make the necessary arrangements…”
Zhao Hongfu flew forward and patted Zhu Honggong’s shoulder. She said casually, “My life depends on you now…”
“Don’t worry. Even if I die, I won’t let you die!” Zhu Honggong bumped his fists together.
Then, the duo flew toward another hall to gather the necessary talismans, bags, and other things.
As Qin Naihe watched the duo leave, he said, “I’ve heard that the Evil Sky Pavilion is filled with talents. Indeed, seeing a few of them today, they’re indeed extraordinary.”
Si Wuya only nodded. He did not beat around the bush and bluntly said, “The imbalance is getting worse. Green lotus cultivators have already appeared in the black lotus domain and the black lotus domain. My master and seniors aren’t here so…”
Qin Naihe said, “Don’t worry. I’ll stay close to the runic passage. Unless a Venerable Master arrives, no one can do anything to me.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
…
Seven days later…
Clack!
Lu Zhou saw his Birth Palace had smoothed out and another Birth Chart was shining with a golden light. This meant that his 11th Birth Chart, which was also his second Great Birth Chart, had been successfully activated.
Lu Zhou looked at the system interface.
Remaining lifespan: 1,731,672 days (4,744 years)
Merit points: 31,760
Weapon: Unnamed, Jade Horsetail Whisk (heaven grade), Purple Glazed Ceramic (fusion grade), Confinement Seal (intermediate fusion grade), Seven Star Sword (desolate grade), Saint Staff (flood grade), Cold Wind Trident (flood grade), Pillar of Impermanence (infinite grade)
‘The Pillar of Impermanence is considered a weapon? Isn’t it just like a golden cudgel if I use it as a weapon? It’s still more suited to playing a supporting role…’
Now that he had activated his 11th Birth Chart, he would need to stabilize his cultivation base. Only when it was stable would the endurance of his Birth Palace increase, laying the foundation to pass the next Birth Trial.
Lu Zhou pressed his hand against the Pillar of Impermanence.
It vibrated slightly.
Lu Zhou could feel the pillar constantly absorbing vitality energy from all directions, urging the growth of animals and plants. Everything seemed to be working as it should.
Lu Zhou closed his eyes slightly and sent a strand of his consciousness into the space in the Pillar of Impermanence to check how much vitality energy it had accumulated.
“The power of the Pillar of Impermanence is related to vitality energy. The more it accumulates, the stronger it is. If I give all of its energy to the blue avatar, I’d be weakening it…” He knew he had to maintain the balance well; he had to satisfy the blue avatar needs, and at the same time, maintain the pillar’s power.
As the owner of the pillar, Lu Zhou could come and go as he pleased. He sensed the space in the pillar. It was like a sealed space filled with chaotic and rich vitality energy. It felt like he was swimming in the ocean. The surging vitality energy surprised him slightly. However, when he moved, the rich vitality energy and the airflow would become still.
“Hmm?”
He continued to move consciousness before he felt like he had hit a wall. Then, he withdrew his consciousness.
“Based on what I sensed, the pillar should still have another 100,000 years or so… It seems like it had lost a lot of vitality energy during the battle…”
Although the absorption speed was not bad, part of the vitality energy would naturally be absorbed by the pillar after entering it. Lu Zhou no longer cared about this. With 100,000 years of life, it would definitely play a big role in the future.
Lu Zhou pushed his palm against the Pillar of Impermanence again and it spun even faster. It was now 20 times faster.
Then, Lu Zhou began to observe everyone again.
During this time, those who stayed in Transient City had made great progress.
Yu Zhenghai had successfully passed his Birth Trial and was even preparing to activate his seventh Birth Chart. Now that he was in the holy land of cultivation, how could he give up? Moreover, activating the seventh Birth Chart was as easy as activating the first Birth Chart.
On the other hand, there were no changes with Yu Shangrong. He still had eleven leaves. Lu Zhou’s palm landed. All he could do was absorb life hearts every day and cultivate his sword path.
The others improved greatly as well during this time.
After a while, Lu Zhou sent voice transmissions to everyone, “Gather by the lake in six months.”
These six months were for them to stabilize their cultivation bases.
The Evil Sky Pavilion now had the Sixteen Chart Free Man, Qin Naihe, Xiao Yunhe, the Black Tower Council, and the White Tower Council so Lu Zhou was not worried.
…
Time flew by, and six months had passed.
The cultivation path was long.
The lake was still the same, but the trees had now towered past the clouds.
Half a year here was equivalent to ten years outside.
At this time, Lu Zhou had already stabilized his cultivation base.
Boom!
Lu Wu flew back from afar and landed next to a mountain peak. Then, it lowered its head and said, “I’ve investigated it…”
A month ago, someone had slowly drawn close and tried to investigate this place in secret.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes and looked at Lu Wu from the corners of his eyes. “What is it?”
“300 miles northwest. A huge group of Void Chest tribesmen is… heading this way…”
“Void Chest tribesmen?”
Lu Wu exhaled. In just a moment, a freezing energy permeated the place.
Everyone from the Evil Sky Pavilion shivered and quickly gathered.
“To be precise, they’ve begun… to make their way here… about a month ago,” Lu Wu said.
“Are they trying to seek revenge?” Lu Zhou said.
“Those people… are looking for the… ruins in Transient City to cultivate. This place isn’t far from the ruins… What pitiful tribe… It was almost exterminated by humans… trying to make a comeback now…” Lu Wu said in a hoarse and low voice.
“You know about the Void Chest tribe?”
“In my eyes, you’re all the same.”
“We’re different,” Mingshi Yin said as he rushed over from afar on Qiong Qi’s back.
“Greetings, master.”
Lu Zhou glanced at Mingshi Yin. Although he did not know what Mingshi Yin had been up to during this time, it was clear that Mingshi Yin had grown stronger again.
Mingshi Yin turned to Lu Wu and said, “Those aren’t humans; they have holes in their chests. Can you stand it if I call tigers with holes on it bellies tigers?”
Lu Wu was stunned. “You… have a point…”
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Many figures began to rush over at this moment.
