Chapter 1231: A Way to Increase the Speed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was a lot of information and historical data that proved that the Unknown Land had many human activities. It was used as a place to train; it was an excellent place for cultivators to improve their strength. At the very least, green lotus cultivators, white lotus cultivators, and black lotus cultivators did this. The weaker golden lotus cultivators and yellow lotus cultivators did not have this privilege.
Kong Wen had investigated this ancient forest previously, and after listening to Kong Wen, Lu Zhou decided to activate his Birth Chart here. As long as he did not cause too big a commotion, no one would discover him even if he stayed here for eight to ten years. Moreover, with Lu Wu, whose strength was comparable to a Venerable Master, and him here, even Venerable Masters would suffer a great loss.
Everyone scattered and found places to cultivate and rest.
Mingshi Yin brought out two decent life hearts and passed them to Yu Zhenghai and the other to Yu Shangrong.
Without caring for place and time or if he would be interrupted, Yu Shangrong immediately absorbed the life heart.
Compared to the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Kong Wen was not so bold. Instead, he held the life heart and looked at it admiringly as though he was dreaming. After confirming it was truly a life heart, he carefully put it away. Following that, he asked Yan Zhenluo for some talismans and put them at the periphery of the ancient forest.
Yan Zhenluo asked curiously, “What are they for?”
“Tracking…” Kong Wen said, “Tracking talismans can track the aura left behind by the target in the air, and they can also hide auras. However, when hiding auras, many forget the talismans leave auras of their own. Hence, I need to disguise the traces of the talismans…”
Yan Zhenluo nodded. “You’re really skilled.”
Kong Wen said with a smile, “Since the old sir treats me so well, it’s natural for me to do my best for him.”
“Are you interested in joining the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Yan Zhenluo asked carefully.
A delighted expression appeared on Kong Wen’s face. If he could join the Evil Sky Pavilion, he would be at ease for the rest of his life. Just a strand of hair from Lu Zhou’s leg was enough to protect him for half his life. Alas, there were so many experts in the Evil Sky Pavilion; even Lu Wu seemed to only serve as a foil. Hence, he was unsure of his chances.
“W-we… Are we qualified?”
“It depends on your future performance. However, I think there shouldn’t be any problem,” Yan Zhenluo said.
“Truly?” It was the first time Kong Wen was being praised, even if it was an indirect praise. He could not help but feel a little embarrassed.
Yan Zhenluo smiled and no longer said anything.
Meanwhile, Little Yuan’er and Conch chose to rest together near an ancient tree as well. Whitzard was with them.
Mingshi Yin flew over and put down two bags. “Junior sisters, it’s been hard on you. I’m going to have a look around now…”
Little Yuan’er nodded. “Oh. Thanks for your hard work, Fourth Senior Brother.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Mingshi Yin yawned and stretched before he flew to the trees in the distance.
Conch said, “Master said not to go too far away, but Fourth Senior Brother is running around here and there…”
“It’s fine. You’ll get used to it. Fourth Senior Brother knows what he’s doing so he’ll be fine…” Little Yuan’er said as she pulled the bags over.
“What are these?”
A very faint red light was discernible through the bags.
“I don’t know, but we’ll know once I open it,” Little Yuan’er said as she opened one of the bags.
A dark red ball rolled out.
The two girls looked at each other with widened eyes.
Little Yuan’er said curiously, “I don’t remember master obtaining such a life heart…”
“Me too.” Conch nodded.
Little Yuan’er picked up a branch and poked the egg before knocking it a few times. The sound it made was muffled.
Conch said, “I remember now! Master passed it to Fourth Senior Brother earlier!”
Little Yuan’er blinked her big eyes and said with a mischievous smile, “Then, it must be a treasure.”
Then, Little Yuan’er threw the branch away, feeling more at ease, and poked the egg with her finger. There was no reaction as it continued emitting a faint dark red light so she poked harder.
Crack!
A tiny crack appeared on the phoenix egg.
Little Yuan’er and Conch looked at each other speechlessly.
‘It’s over! I broke it!’
“Ninth Senior Sister, it’s an… egg….”
“An egg?” Little Yuan’er studied it carefully. Indeed, it was an egg, but it was several times bigger than an ordinary egg. The shell was black and emitted a dark red light. Then, she hurriedly stuffed it into her pocket and acted as though nothing had happened before she lay down and placed her head on the tree root. Without saying anything, she closed her eyes to rest.
“Ninth Senior Sister?” Conch was baffled. ‘What is she doing?’
When she regained her senses, she hurriedly closed her eyes like Little Yuan’er.
…
The next morning.
It was still dark in the Unknown Land.
When Lu Zhou opened his eyes, one-third of the divine power had been recovered. Perhaps, he had used the divine power from his blue avatar as well, the recovery speed was slightly slower this time. Fortunately, with the Purple Glazed Ceramic, it was not too slow.
Then, he checked on his Birth Palace and nodded in satisfaction.
Activating a Birth Chart in the human region of the Birth Palace was truly easy. At this time, the life heart was already half-submerged. With this speed, it would take two days to enter the Birth Palace completely, then, it would take at most seven or ten days to absorb the lifespan.
It was also for these reasons he had asked everyone to rest in this place for ten days.
“The speed of activating the Birth Chart is still too slow. Just activating a Birth Chart in the human region takes ten days to half a month. I’ll have to think of a way to increase the speed… How about the Purple Glazed Ceramic?”
The Purple Glazed Ceramic could increase the speed of cultivation, perhaps, it could also speed up the process of activating Birth Charts.
“Let’s try it.”
Lu Zhou activated the Purple Glazed Ceramic before he guided its energy into his Birth Palace.
The energy that spilled out of the Purple Glazed Ceramic was like a clear current of water, flowing through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians and into his Dantian’s sea of Qi, which was the key to forming avatars. At this time, the energy tried entering the Birth Palace.
In a way, the Birth Palace was like the core of the Dantian’s sea of Qi. It was a vital and important place. This was why many people would not easily use their avatars and lotuses in combat even if their defenses were strong unless they had no choice.
“No?” Lu Zhou refused to accept this. He tried to urge the energy from the Purple Glazed Ceramic in Dantian’s sea of Qi again.
“Still a no?” After trying more than ten times, there was still no effect at all.
When Lu Zhou was about to give up, he suddenly saw his blue avatar. Then, after he moved it away, he saw the life heart in his Birth Palace was spinning twice as fast now.
“So that’s how it is…”
The blue avatar occupied his Dantian’s sea of Qi and blocked the flow of the energy.
When he was cultivating, he never noticed this problem. His problem with his Dantian’s sea of Qi freezing back then was also related to the blue avatar.
Now, with the help of the Purple Glazed Ceramic, the speed of activating the Birth Chart had increased quite a lot, but Lu Zhou thought it still was not enough.
He really needed to find a way to increase his speed.. After all, he would have to soon consider his second Birth Trial.
