Chapter 1253: The Second Great Birth Chart
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Currently, Lu Zhou had activated seven Birth Charts in the human region. There were still another five zones in the human region that had yet to be shown. They would only show up after the expansion of his lotus seat. Apart from that, the activation of his next Birth Chart would be difficult as well.
It took skills to activate Birth Charts as well. One had to consider the ease and difficulty of the activation. Usually, the difficulty would increase as one continued to activate Birth Charts. The closer one got to a Birth Trial, the more difficult it would be. However, after passing the Birth Trial, the difficulty would decrease again. At that time, one could activate a Great Birth Chart since the process would be easier during this time. On the other hand, when approaching a Birth Trial, it was best to activate Birth Charts in the human region to reduce the difficulty of the process.
Naturally, nothing was absolute in the world. Moreover, it was not easy to expand one’s lotus seat.
He had activated three Birth Charts in the earth region. One of them was a Great Birth Chart that he activated using the life heart he had borrowed from Lu Wu.
If he did not consider Yong He’s weak physical body, its outstanding ability was almost as powerful as that of a divine beast. It was unfortunate that it met Lu Zhou. The Heavenly Writing was its natural enemy.
There was no doubt that Yong He’s life heart would allow him to activate another Great Birth Chart.
“The second Great Birth Chart should be in the heaven region…”
He had occupied two defense zones and the others had yet to appear.
“The Second Heavenly Stem and the Sunshine Thunder Gates…”
These two were suited for life hearts with abilities. Fortunately, they were not positions that strengthened passive abilities. Otherwise, he would have to activate his Birth Chart in the earth region.
“The Second Heavenly Stem…”
Lu Zhou placed Yong He’s life heart in the Second Heavenly Stem’s position.
Yong He’s life heart was rare and precious so it should be reused.
Click!
As soon as he placed the life heart in his Birth Palace, the corner quickly sank in.
“The effect of the Pillar of Impermanence is really extraordinary… It’s just that its downside can be deadly…”
Staying in this place for three months was equivalent to 45 months outside. Although he had lost more than three years cultivating in this place, in exchange for such huge improvements, he thought it was acceptable. In fact, the others were happy staying here as well. It was not a problem as long as one did not act recklessly.
Previously, it took Lu Zhou about three months to activate his first Great Birth Chart. Now that the cultivation speed had increased by 15 times, he should be able to complete the activation of his second Great Birth Chart in seven days.
While Lu Zhou was observing his Birth Palace for changes, he heard the sound of surging energy.
Their time here was very precious. Everyone, including Kong Wen and the others, was cultivating in a frenzy and did not pay any attention to each other.
Lu Zhou recited the mantra for the power of hearing. His hearing range quickly covered a radius of 1,000 meters, and he quickly found the source of the sound.
Lu Wu asked, “Are you sure… you want me to help you pass your… Birth Trial?”
“Come on. There’s nothing more suitable than your Ice Seal,” Yu Zhenghai said with a smile.
Lu Zhou’s heart stirred slightly. Yu Zhenghai had about only four or five Birth Charts previously. However, on second thought, this was not surprising. It was normal for him to have activated another two Birth Charts after cultivating for nearly four years. For now, beast kings’ life hearts were sufficient for his disciples. He would have to think of a way to find better life hearts in the future when they were activating their Great Birth Charts.
Lu Wu looked at the future supreme being in front of him and said, “Interesting. Alright, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Then, it lowered its head and opened its mouth, its fur that was like needles stood on end. Following that, a freezing energy permeated the entire place, shrouding Yu Zhenghai.
Creak!
Yu Zhenghai was frozen in just an instant.
The area within a radius of dozens of meters froze as well. The trees, plants, and flowers were not spared and turned into ice sculptures.
When Lu Wu saw that Yu Zhenghai could not move at all, it turned around and asked, “Uh, did I… overdo it?”
Duanmu Sheng picked up his Overlord Spear and leaped onto Lu Wu’s back before he said, “No.”
“He only has… six Birth Charts… The strength I used is… comparable to someone who has passed… two Birth Trials…” Lu Wu said. It would be over for it if it accidentally froze a future supreme being to death.
Duanmu Sheng said, “Don’t worry. You don’t know my Eldest Senior Brother…”
“No… You don’t know… me…”
“No, you don’t know my Elder Senior Brother…”
“Alright, you win.”
…
Lu Zhou cut off his power of hearing. He was slightly surprised by Yu Zhenghai’s plan.
If Lu Wu went all out, its strength was comparable to a Venerable Master. Even when it was missing a life heart, the monster hunting squad was not its match at all. Using it to pass the Birth Trial was a rather good idea and safer than passing the Birth Trial in another place with a harsh and extreme environment.
When Lu Zhou looked at his Birth Palace again, he found that the life heart had almost completely sunk into his Birth Palace. He waved his hand, pulling the life heart out.
All he had to do now was to wait for the decrease and increase of his lifespan.
He currently had 2,096,672 days left, which was equivalent to 5,744 years. After the years he had gained from the Reversal Cards were absorbed by the Pillar of Impermanence before being returned to him again, his lifespan on the system panel no longer showed it separately.
With this activation, he would lose 1,500 years before being given 500 years. In the end, he would be left with 4,744 years left. It was not too bad.
As expected, the numbers on the system panel began to fall. Its decreasing speed was faster than usual as well.
By now, Lu Zhou had already gotten used to it. He closed his eyes and waited for the complete activation of his Birth Chart.
The pain was greatly reduced thanks to the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence and Transient City. The activation process went smoothly, but he could clearly feel the pain from the activation of his 11th Birth Chart was more intense than before. The pain was neither from extreme heat nor cold; it was a kind of mental torture that felt like tens of millions of ants were crawling in his mind. It was the same in his Dantian’s sea of Qi.
In order to alleviate the pain and distract himself, Lu Zhou observed his disciples with the power of sight.
There was nothing much to see with Yu Zhenghai since he was frozen.
When he tried to observe his fourth disciple, he could see darkness and hear the sound of snoring.
Then, he saw his second disciple, Yu Shangrong, holding the Longevity Sword as he rushed to the top of the mountain and stood against the wind.
Then, the Longevity Sword flew in and out of its sheath. When it flew out, it flew into the distance before it returned at lightning speed. It was as though Yu Shangrong was studying some new sword path.
“Range of control… 1,000 meters thousand…” Yu Shangrong nodded in satisfaction.
Lu Zhou was slightly surprised by the flying sword. Usually, cultivators converted Primal Qi to energy, forming energy seals to kill their enemies. The further the distance, the harder it would be to control. However, Yu Shangrong was able to control his Longevity Sword within the range of 1,000 meters?
Lu Zhou turned his attention back to Yu Shangrong again.
With Yu Shangrong in the center, millions of energy swords appeared in the sky. They were arranged in various formations, moving up and down, before they merged and shot toward another mountain peak.
Yu Shangrong nodded expressionlessly. Then, he brought out an intermediate life heart and flew into the forest to absorb it.
Lu Zhou nodded. All his disciples in Transient City were progressing very quickly thanks to the Pillar of Impermanence.
With that, Lu Zhou decided to check on his other disciples.
Zhao Yue, who was in the golden lotus domain, was already beginning to break through to the Thousand Realms Whirling stage.
Apart from activating a Birth Chart recently, Ye Tianxin had also been training with the experts in the White Tower Council.
Si Wuya had successfully sprouted his tenth leaf.
Zhu Honggong was rather lazy and did nothing most days.
Apart from that, the four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion had entered closed-door cultivation.
Everything seemed well with the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Lu Zhou was only perplexed about one matter. The green lotus cultivators had already appeared in the black lotus domain and the red lotus domain. The imbalance was serious, and the weather was terrible. Why had they not made a move yet? Were they hiding and biding their time?
After a while, Lu Zhou activated his power of sight again and observed Si Wuya again.
“Seventh Senior Brother, master and the others have been gone for so long… What if the green lotus cultivators attack us?” Zhu Honggong asked worriedly.
Si Wuya shook his head and said, “Currently, it seems like the green lotus cultivators who were sent here haven’t passed their second Birth Trial. The Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council can handle them for now. With Xiao Yunhe around, there’s no need to worry for now.”
“What if they send someone more powerful? I remember Lu Qianshan said that there’s a Free Man called Qin Naihe who has 16 Birth Charts!” Zhu Honggong said.
