Although the silver-armored cultivator was as fast as lightning, Lu Wu was equally as fast, and its attack was accurate. It bit down on his thigh.

The silver-armored cultivator suddenly turned around and brought his hand down, decisively severing his leg. Then, he shot toward Duanmu Sheng at lightning speed. His palm flashed with a black light, looking like the hand of death, as he struck at Duanmu Sheng.

Duanmu Sheng was shocked. He hastily lifted his Overlord Spear and held it horizontally in front of him. Two purple dragons burst out as his eyes flashed with purple light.

Boom!

Duanmu Sheng was sent flying back. When the Overlord Spear knocked his chest, his entire body grew numb. At the same time, the two purple dragons swam up and down in his body, dispelling the chaotic black energy.

The silver-armored exclaimed in shock, The corrosive energy from the Unknown Land?!

At this time, a voice rang from the silver-armored cultivators back. It seems like youre not afraid of death!

Chills ran up the silver-armored cultivators spine as an ominous feeling rose in his heart. He turned around and saw Lu Wu looking down at him from above. Then, as fast as lightning, Lu Wu chomped down on his remaining leg.

Blood dripped down the corners of Lu Wus mouth as it said, Its been a long time since I tasted a delicacy from the Great Void!

Swoos.h.!.+

Fear spread through the silver-armored cultivators body. He wanted to move but found that he was unable to do so. He could only let Lu Wu bite him.

In the end, the silver-armor cultivator ended up in Lu Wus mouth. As it chewed on the cultivator, an expression of enjoyment could be seen on its face. It was as though it was eating the most delicious piece of steak. The vitality energy leaked out from the cultivators body into its mouth, making it feel very comfortable.

Every time the silver-armored cultivator lost a Birth Chart, blood would surge out violently from his body. This continued until Lu Wu swallowed him.

Lu Wu raised its head majestically to the sky. The fur on its body was like needles, glinting dazzlingly under the light of the rainbow. Then, it looked at Yu Zhenghai and Duanmu Sheng who were looking at it in a daze. It licked its lips in a leisurely manner as it said, Hes not enough to even fill the gaps between my teeth

Indeed, to the beast emperor, Lu Wu, humans were insignificant, size-wise. If it treated humans as food, humans were indeed unable to fill the gaps between its teeth.

Duanmu Sheng inhaled deeply. After the purple dragons vanished, he said, I thought you didnt eat humans.

Nonsense, Lu Wu replied.

Yu Zhenghai flew forward as energy seals appeared on his body, evaporating the water on him. Then, he said, Fortunately, you arrived in time.

Duanmu Sheng looked at Yu Zhenghai and asked, First Senior Brother, I heard that Seventh Junior Brother is dead?

Yu Zhenghais expression froze. Then, he sighed, which was equivalent to confirming Duanmu Shengs question.

Duanmu Sheng looked at the Endless Ocean. His desire to fight vanished immediately. Then, he fell to his knees in the air and cried out loudly.

Yu Zhenghai did not stop Duanmu Sheng. Instead, he went to Duanmu Shengs side and patted Duanmu Shengs shoulder.

The duo looked at the Endless Sea and did not speak for a long time.

Lu Wu sat behind the duo and looked in the eastern direction without saying a word as well.

The sun was setting in the west at this moment. The last ray of light swept through the dark clouds before it finally disappeared.

In the eastern pavilion of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Lu Zhou was puzzled when he received the notifications from the system after he returned.

He thought Zhu Honggong was up to no good again so he used the power of sight to check in on Zhu Honggong. However, he found that no one was wors.h.i.+ping Zhu Honggong. The yellow lotus domain was relatively stable as a whole. This was likely because there were not many fierce beasts there and the general strength was not very high. In order to ensure the balance, those from the Great Void would not rashly go to the yellow lotus domain, in fear of further disrupting the balance.

Then, Lu Zho checked in on Zhao Yue. She was busy in the palace, and no one was kowtowing to her as well.

The others were all in the Evil Sky Pavilion so it was impossible that the notification came from them.

With that, Lu Zhou checked on Duanmu Sheng. When he saw the carca.s.ses floating in the sea, and the blood that dyed the sh.o.r.e red, he finally understood what had happened.

With that, he cut off the power of sight. Then, he brought out the Pillar of Impermanence and pressed it into the ground before adjusting the circulation speed until it was 1,000 times faster.

Then, he meditated on the Heavenly Writing. He did not continue exploring the Scripture of Sermons. It was too strange and might bring a huge backlash. He was already lucky enough that nothing happened previously.

Maybe Chen Fu is right. Its very difficult to control the Resurrection Scroll. If Im not careful, I might really be punished by the heavens.

In the past, Lu Zhou had been rather pa.s.sive. However, he had to take the initiative now. If he wanted to confront the Great Void, he would have to have sufficient strength.

18 Birth Charts are still far from enough

He had to increase his strength and the Evil Sky Pavilions strength.

The next morning.

Duanmu Sheng and Yu Zhenghai arrived in front of the eastern pavilion.

Greetings, master.

Lu Zhou opened his eyes and said, Enter.

The duo entered the hall. When they saw their master sitting cross-legged on the ground, they bowed again.

Lu Zhou looked at the duo and sensed their cultivation bases briefly before he asked, Hows the situation in the Misty Forest?

Duanmu Sheng looked gloomy as he replied, With Lu Wu around, things are stable. Its just that the number of fierce beasts is increasing.

Lu Zhou nodded and asked, Hows your cultivation coming along?

Ive made some progress. I can withstand Lu Wus attacks for a while now, Duanmu Sheng replied.

Its not bad that youre able to withstand Lu Wus attacks. Your cultivation path is rather unique, after all. Remember that you have to sprout your leaves, Lu Zhou said.

Yes.

Then, Lu Zhou looked at Yu Zhenghai and asked, Did you meet someone from the Great Void?

Yu Zhenghai was shocked. Then, he hurriedly said, Yes. I was no match for him. Fortunately, Third Junior Brother and Lu Wu arrived in time.

Im not blaming you. Lu Zhou said, shaking his head. He sighed, thinking about Si Wuya. As someone who had transmigrated to this world, material things aside, he only had his disciples. He had already lost one, how could he stand to lose another?

Yu Zhenghai said through gritted teeth, I shouldnt have taken the risk. However, after today, Ill work even harder than before! A blood debt can only be repaid with blood!

Lu Zhou said gravely, Perhaps, I shouldnt have accepted disciples back then

Bang!

Duanmu Sheng dropped the Overlord Spear in shock.

Then, the two disciples kneeled and kowtowed in unison.

Master, why would you say that?

The duo thought they had done something wrong.

Seeing the huge reaction from his disciples, Lu Zhou waved his hand and said, Rise to your feet.

The duo stood up, filled with trepidation.

Lu Zhou sighed. Back then, perhaps, all of you wouldve led better lives if you didnt join me or return to the Evil Sky Pavilion. Now, all of you have met with danger again and again after returning to the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Yu Zhenghai said as he kneeled again, No matter what master says, I will never leave the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Duanmu Sheng, who was slower by a beat, kneeled as well.

Lu Zhou sighed. It was difficult for him to find someone to talk to in this vast world. He felt rather helpless. Every day, when he woke up, all he saw were people who relied on him. Where were the people he could rely on? He could not fall; he could only continue to stand tall.

After calming down, Lu Zhou waved his hand and returned to his dignified self. You may leave.

The duo bowed and left. Just as they were about to step out of the hall

Yu Zhenghai, Lu Zhou called out.

Yu Zhenghai stopped in his tracks.

Lu Zhou said bluntly, Ill make the Great Void repay a hundredfold for what theyve done.

Upon hearing that, Yu Zhenghai clenched his hands into fists as his eyes reddened.

In the next half a month, the Evil Sky Pavilion was quieter than usual.

Due to Si Wuyas death, everyone became very serious.

Pan Zhong and Zhou Jifeng, who usually liked to joke around, no longer spoke freely as well.

The four elders were only focused on cultivation.

Little Yuaner, the most mischievous and playful among all the disciples, showed unprecedented and shocking concentration. She did not leave her room at all for half a month.

In the morning.

The sky was just beginning to brighten when a female disciple came to the eastern pavilion. She bowed and said, Pavilion Master, Miss Ninth sent me here to inform you that she has pa.s.sed the first Birth Trial.

Alright. Lu Zhous calm voice rang from the hall.

After the female cultivator left, she returned again in the afternoon.

What is it?

The female disciple stammered, M-miss Ninth has activated her seventh Birth Chart.

Alright. Lu Zhou was not surprised by this.

Among all his disciples, Little Yuaner had the highest talent. Moreover, due to her young age and naivety, she did not have too many complex and distracting thoughts. Perhaps, on the surface, she seemed the most ordinary, but the heavens gave shocking talent and apt.i.tude. In the past, she did not move, but now that she moved, it was astonis.h.i.+ng.

In the evening.

Instead of the female cultivator, Conch rushed over to the eastern pavilion.

Master, hurry up and have a look at Ninth Senior Sister! Shes gone mad!

Creak!

Lu Zhou pushed the door open. He placed his hands on his back as he looked at Conch and asked, Gone mad?

Conch said anxiously, Ninth Junior Sister just pa.s.sed her first Birth Trial this morning, and yet, she insisted on activating her seventh Birth Chart at noon. After that, she insisted she was fine, and now, she activated her eighth Birth Chart! Shell die if she continues!

Lu Zhous eyes widened slightly. This girl is too daring! Six in the morning, seven in the afternoon, and eight in the evening? Whats the difference in committing suicide?

Ill go and have a look.

Lu Zhou flashed and appeared at the southern pavilion in just a blink of an eye before he activated his power of sight and power of smell. When he found Little Yuaner room, he pushed the door open immediately.

Bang!

He saw the little Fire Phoenix flying back and forth in the air, spitting flames. Little Yuaner sat cross-legged in the center of the room, looking at the little Fire Phoenix with joy. Finally, he saw the golden avatar in front of her, and the eight dazzling Birth Charts on her lotus seat. Even more shockingly, she was holding another life heart in her hand, clearly about to activate her ninth Birth Chart.

???

Lu Zhou frowned. He really could not understand this.

Master?! Little Yuaner looked at her master in confusion.

Lu Zhou walked into the room and took a closer look at Little Yuaners Birth Palace.

At this time, the little Fire Phoenix turned around and spat out flames at Lu Zhou.

Swoos.h.!.+

Lu Zhou waved his sleeve, sending the little Fire Phoenix flying back. It crashed against the window and slid to the ground. It cried out miserable, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Lu Zhou ignored the little Fire Phoenix and said to Little Yuaner, Dont move.

Im fine, master.

If I tell you not to move, then dont move.

Oh.

Lu Zhou pressed his hand down.

Imbued with the divine power, a blue lotus fell on Little Yuaners Birth Palace.

Lu Zhou was surprised when he discovered how tough Little Yuaners Birth Palace was. The purpose of the first Birth Trial was to temper ones Birth Palace and to make it stronger. Nonetheless, he was still surprised by how strong her Birth Palace was. With the strength of her Birth Palace, there was in fact no need for her to pa.s.s the Birth Trial, she could naturally form her first Birth Trial ability.

Upon seeing Lu Zhous grave expression, Little Yuaner asked anxiously, M-master, whats wrong with me?

Lu Zhou did not answer her. Instead, he grabbed her wrist and checked her pulse. Primal Qi surged into her Dantians sea of Qi. He discovered that her Dantians sea of Qi was as strong as her Birth Palace.

This is really strange

Every time there was a breakthrough, the Dantians sea of Qi would expand once. At the same time, the walls of the sea of Qi would grow stronger as well, making it harder to break through again. However, Little Yuaner had easily raised her cultivation base to that of an Eight Chart cultivator.

When did you activate your eighth Birth Chart? Lu Zhou asked solemnly.

A-about an hour ago, Little Yuaner replied.

Lu Zhous expression was a little unnatural as he asked again, When did you activate your seventh Birth Chart?

Little Yuaner thought about it for a moment before she said, About an hour and a half ago?

Is there still justice and law in this world?

Lu Zhou checked Little Yuaners pulse again. This time, he used his divine power to check her Dantians sea of Qi.

Hmm? Soon enough, he discovered he could not force Little Yuaners Great Void Seed to show itself.

Little Yuaner said eagerly, Master, Im fine. I feel like I can continue activating my Birth Chart!

At this time, Conch appeared at the door and said, Look, master! I told you Ninth Senior Sister has gone crazy!

Then, Lu Zhou let go of Little Yuaners hand and brought out the Golden Taixu Mirror.

Imbued with the divine power, the Golden Taixu Mirror shone on Little Yuaner.

With that, Lu Zhou saw Little Yuaners Eight Extraordinary Meridians and her Dantians sea of Qi. All of her meridians were glowing with the Great Void energy.

Upon seeing this, Conchs mouth dropped open in shock as she raised her hand to cover her mouth.

Youve completely fused with the Great Void Seed, Lu Zhou said.

Then, he shone the Golden Taixu Mirror on Conch. A ball of blue light could be seen in Conchs abdomen. The Great Void Seed was still being digested and had yet to completely fuse with her. In this state, the Great Void Seed could easily be taken away by others.

Little Yuaner asked, slightly confused, So Can I, can I still cultivate?

Not only can you cultivate, but from now on, your cultivation speed is going to be faster than everyone, Lu Zhou said. He recalled when he first activated his Birth Chart, he had activated two in a day as well. Since Little Yuaner had the Great Void Seed, it was normal for her to be able to activate three in a day.

Many of the talented cultivators recorded in the ancient books could activate two life hearts a day.

Upon hearing Lu Zhous words, Little Yuaner said, Alright. Then, Ill activate another Birth Chart!

Then, she reached out to press a life heart into her Birth Palace.

Lu Zhou frowned and waved his sleeve.

Swoos.h.!.+

Before the life heart touched the Birth Palace, it was swept up by a wave of energy.

Nonsense.

Master Little Yuaner pouted, not knowing what she did wrong.
