My Disciples Are All Villains Novel - Chapter 309
Chapter 309: The Third Heavenly Writing Technique
The others were used to seeing golden light. How could they not be shocked to see it turn blue?
“Elder Hua… is that still your Six Compatible Seal?” Pan Litian asked.
“That’s right. There’s no mistaking it.”
“Using the barrier’s power?”
The three elders could not make sense of what they were seeing.
This was the third time Hua Wudao had seen Lu Zhou using this peculiar power. The first instance was when Lu Zhou was cultivating in seclusion inside the hidden chamber, the second time was when he destroyed the grand witchcraft spell on the Lotus Dais, and today was the third time.
Usually, the golden light was released from the condensation of Qi into energy. This was the same for the Confucian, Buddhist, and Daoist sects.
Formations, both for enhancement and attacks, had a bluish glow. A few healing techniques were either blue or green. Some Formations that drew on the Five Elements would change colors depending on the elements.
Meanwhile, the Fiend Zen was black.
Regardless, there was always a rhyme or reason to the colors of powers.
The Six Compatible Seal should have radiated a golden light!
Seeing the blue Six Compatible Seal before their eyes, they could only come to the conclusion that Lu Zhou had drawn on the power of the barrier.
“Uh…” Hua Wudao was at a loss for words.
Shortly after, the scripts, Death, Water, Fire, Being, Non-being, and Separation, appeared, circling around Lu Zhou. In addition to the three scripts from before, there were now nine scripts!
Lu Zhou had successfully unleashed the Nine-scripts Six Compatible Seal!
Lu Zhou swept his gaze across the nine scripts. A section of the Heavenly Writing scroll surfaced in his mind. ‘Is this the third technique of the Open Heavenly Writing Scroll? Is it possible that the third technique allows me to use any methods they’ve unleashed?’
Originating from nothing and everything at the same time. Living in samsara and learning from it. This is the Power of Past Lives.
The gazebo was as quiet as a graveyard.
Pan Litian who usually had a flippant attitude could not help but raise his hands in a show of respect.
Hua Wudao was flustered. An expression of incredulity could be seen on his wizened face. He cupped his fists. “Hua Wudao humbly accepts defeat!”
“Your amazing might knows no bounds, Pavilion Master!” Pan Zhong cried out.
Lu Zhou did not need a way to back out anymore. He was pleased with the outcome. The nine scripts before him and the Eight Trigrams under his feet was a testament to his defensive ability. He had some extraordinary power left so he waved his hand. “Appear!”
Whizz!
The tenth script, ‘Combination’, appeared and joined the revolving nine scripts. The ten scripts now formed a circle, causing the Eight Trigrams Seal under Lu Zhou’s feet to suddenly expand. With the cultivation field in the center, it expanded and covered the gazebo and half of the Golden Court Mountain! It even touched the towering Evil Sky Pavilion! It had increased dozens of times in size. The difference was only in a single script, but its size was so much larger.
“Ten Scripts Six Compatible Seal?” Hua Wudao croaked.
The others looked at the blue Six Compatible Seal. For a time, none of them could speak.
Nine scripts were already more than enough to impress them. With the sudden appearance of the tenth script, how were they supposed to keep their cool?
“Disperse!” The Ten Scripts Six Compatible Seal instantly vanished as Lu Zhou slowly descended. He was glad everything had gone smoothly. It was important that he kept up appearances. His expression remained calm as he stroked his beard. He had seen the effects of his demonstration on the people around him. He was extremely pleased with the results. Nevertheless, he made up his mind to refrain from showing off in front of these old men in the future. The extraordinary power that he had painstakingly saved up was gone again. He would have preferred to spend the energy to instruct his disciples than showing off here. However, it could not be said that he did not gain anything from this. From his demonstration, he confirmed the third technique of the Heavenly Writing was the Power of Past Lives. In other words, he could use another person’s skills with this technique. The system’s Deadly Strike Card had the same effect. Did this not mean that the three Heavenly Writing Scrolls were equivalent to permanently possessing a Deadly Strike Card and an Impeccable Card? However, he also remembered that he could not kill his opponent instantly using this power. The Heavenly Writing powers he possessed now were still not as powerful as the Deadly Strike Cards and the Impeccable Cards.
Lu Zhou stepped forward.
The others finally snapped back to their senses. They bowed. No one dared to breathe heavily.
Lu Zhou returned to the gazebo. He looked at the elders indifferently before he said, “Do you have any other questions, Elder Hua?”
Hua Wudao had been unnerved since a long time ago, and he was in a stupor. He had studied the Six Compatible Seal for 20 years, and yet, it was easily replicated by the pavilion master. How could he keep his cool?
Pan Litian who was standing near Hua Wudao nudged him. “Elder Hua?”
Hua Wudao snapped back to his senses. He wiped the sweat away from his face and said, “I… I have no questions.” However, he really wanted to say he had many questions about the Six Compatible Seal. Alas, he did not have the courage to ask any more questions.
Leng Luo cupped his fists. “This is the first time the Ten Script Six Compatible Seal has manifested, right?”
Pan Litian offered his praise. “Not only that, but I don’t think anyone else would be able to cast it. Even without modifications, nobody can manifest the tenth script of the Six Compatible Seal. If I didn’t see this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it even if you were to beat me to death…” After saying this, he bowed at Lu Zhou and said, “Is this truly your first time using the Six Compatible Seal, Pavilion Master?”
Lu Zhou nodded ambiguously. That was the truth. It was up to Pan Litian to believe it or not.
Hua Wudao, who had taken great pride in his Six Compatible Seal, felt as though he had been dealt with a great blow.
“The barrier’s power?” Leng Luo asked.
Lu Zhou did not answer him immediately. This was because he knew he would, at least, need an Eight-leaf cultivation base to truly unleash the Ten Script Six Compatible Seal. He could not possibly say that he had mastered the powers of the Heavenly Writing scroll, after all. In the end, he said, “I’ll need a powerful source to unleash the Ten Script Six Compatible Seal.”
Hua Wudao fell to one knee. He cupped his fists and said, “I have been utterly rude to have made such a request of you, Pavilion Master… I didn’t expect you to use the barrier’s power. Please punish me harshly, Pavilion Master!” He was the cause of this after all. Golden Court Mountain had lost its barrier, and Lu Zhou had used the barrier’s power just to make a demonstration. How was Lu Zhou supposed to deal with powerful opponents in the future? Therefore, he quickly apologized.
The others looked at each other.
Lu Zhou’s gaze fell on Hua Wudao. He saw Hua Wudao’s loyalty rising greatly. He said, “You may rise.”
“Thank you, Pavilion Master,” Hua Wudao said.
“The barrier’s power is but an external force. The barrier won’t be the factor that decides if we win or lose,” Lu Zhou said before turning to look at Pan Litian, “Pan Litian…”
Pan Litian cupped his fists.
Lu Zhou said, “When you first came to this mountain, how did you pass through the barrier?”
Pan Litian smiled brightly. He spun his wine gourd and said, “That’s easy… I know a thing or two about Formations. Although the Formation was powerful, it was extremely fragile after the wear and tear throughout the years. It’s clear that the Formation had been mended several times from a supply of Primal Qi, but the Formation veins were still damaged. Besides… this Wine Gourd Bottle of mine isn’t an ordinary item!” He tossed the wine gourd up, and it spun in the air before a golden light burst forth.
