Chapter 1656: One Million Years and Four Power Cores

Under Shang Zhangs protection, Little Yuaner and Conch watched the scene before them without any worries. At this moment, Lu Zhou could no longer be seen; he was shrouded by a ball of light. It was like they were in a world of light and jade at this moment.

The vitality energy from the eight mountains seemed to have almost reached its limit.

The canopy-like barrier was like a golden Milky Way above the ball of light.

Boom!

Two mountains in the east shattered, causing the land to shake.

Everyones hearts skipped a beat, and they grew slightly nervous.

Shang Zhang did not expect the mountains to shatter just like that. He quickly joined his palms together and chanted a series of mantras, forming a few protective seals. At this moment, he pushed all his defenses to the maximum.

The sky was filled with the rocks, rubble, and debris from the two destroyed mountains. All of them were sucked into the vortex.

Xuanyi asked, Why is this happening?

Although they expected the place to collapse, none of them expected it to collapse in such a spectacular and direct manner. At this moment, it felt as though the sky was going to collapse.

Swoos.h.!.+

Two rays of light from the destroyed mountains flew toward the horizon before they converged.

Whats that?

Everyone was confused.

Im not sure. The energy is really strong.

Shang Zhang boosted his vision once more to have a better look at the two rays of light. He was shocked when he saw the lights that resembled semi-circular pearls merging into one. Then, he kept shaking his head and said, Ive never seen or heard about something like this.

Xuanyi asked, Is it a divine soul pearl?

It only looks like divine soul pearls, but its definitely not a divine soul pearl. Divine soul pearls are formed when cultivators and divine beasts fused their Birth Charts. They have a very distinct aura of Birth Charts. This ball of light is formed from pure power and lacks those characteristics. Its as though as though its a natural phenomenon, Shang Zhang speculated.

Xuanyi frowned as he looked at the ball of light. He said, Its said that after the Great Void ascended to the sky and the Unholy One disappeared, the Sacred Temple came to search Grand Mystic Mountain very often. Were they looking for this?

Its possible, Shang Zhang said.

Whats the use of this thing? Xuanyi asked.

Shang Zhang shook his head. I cant tell for now.

Even with his experience, Shang Zhang did not know the origin or purpose of this thing. It was obvious that it was extraordinary.

Swoos.h.!.+

At this time, the ball of light, along with the vitality energy, flew toward Grand Mystic Hall.

Lu Zhou was shocked when he felt the incoming power. How powerful!

He quickly raised his hand in front of him and launched several palm seals to block the ball of light.

Boom!

The ball of light easily destroyed Lu Zhous palm seals and continued on its trajectory toward Lu Zhou.

Hm?

Lu Zhou wanted to strike again, but he was puzzled when he sensed the power from the ball of light becoming gentler. It was during this momentary doubt that it hit him. However, it only felt like a drop of water had fallen on him.

A wave rippled out, causing everything between heaven and earth to tremble.

After the ball of light entered Lu Zhous body, he felt it expanding. Following that, he felt as though his lotus was resonating with it. Hence, he instinctively manifested his lotus.

Whoos.h.!.+

As soon as his lotus appeared, the ball of light shot into the lotus.

This Lu Zhou was shocked. He saw the 33rd Birth Chart zone begin to form. If the previous 32 life hearts were distributed across the lotus seat like stars in the sky, the ball of light itself was like the Milky Way. It continued to expand, forming the 33rd Birth Chart zone.

Whoos.h.!.+

At this time, the 36 triangles on the lotus seat flashed brilliantly. They bloomed like sunflowers, making them even brighter than before.

Due to the ball of light, the lotus grew several times thicker. Then, a column formed beneath the lotus before the 36 triangles moved to the side of the column. The triangles stuck to each other, forming a magnificent pattern as they continued flas.h.i.+ng with light.

Boom!

Without any warning, two mountains in the south shattered just like the two mountains from before.

Similar to before, another two rays of light shot out, forming a ball of light.

Xuanyi said, filled with surprise, I understand now. All the good stuff was hidden beneath the eight mountains. No wonder the Sacred Temple couldnt find anything.

Shang Zhang nodded. This is truly incredible.

It seems like the remaining six mountains will shatter as well. Lets wait patiently, Xuanyi said.

Everyone nodded. They watched as the new ball of light shot toward Lu Zhou like a shooting star.

With his previous experience, Lu Zhou did not stop the second ball of light and allowed it to enter the lotus.

As expected, the same miraculous scene appeared again. The 34th Birth Chart zone began to form, looking like the Milky Way as it bloomed with power in the vast universe.

Lu Zhou looked at the two dazzling new zones on the lotus seat in surprise.

At the same time, the 36 triangles grew even brighter than before. The power they emitted was astonis.h.i.+ng.

Boom!

The two mountains in the west shattered.

Boom!

The remaining two mountains in the north shattered as well.

The four mountains were destroyed by the powerful formation at almost the same time.

The earth cracked, and the sky trembled as four rays of light flew out. Then, two b.a.l.l.s of light flew toward Grand Mystic Hall.

The debris and rubble in the sky were even more than before.

At this moment, the land, save for the main mountain, was flattened. Thousands of trees at the mountain range were sucked into the vortex.

Lu Zhous eyes widened as he looked at the changes on the lotus seat. The 35th and 36th Birth Zones lit up just like the previous one.

Following that, a shadow appeared above the golden lotus before a calm voice said, I roam the world, invincible in the Great Void, invincible in the world. The only thing I cant defeat is myself. The road to seeking immortality is long. Mankind is bound by the shackles of heaven and earth. How can we live forever if we can break it? I want to master it. I want to preach to the world so everyone can live forever!

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou recalled what he had heard from the Scripture of Sermon. It seemed like the words here now were spoken earlier than what he had heard from the Scripture of Sermons. In the Scripture of Sermons, the Unholy One had clearly been filled with regret. On the other hand, what he heard from the Unholy One here showed that the Unholy One was still determined to preach to the world.

As a backup plan, Ill hide my lifes gains under the eight mountains in Grand Mystic Mountain and use the Grand Mystic Formation to protect them. If anything happens, Ill pray for their return. Ill leave behind a million years of my life and four power cores. Its the hardest to activate the final four Birth Charts, but the power cores can solve this problem. Eternal life

The voice gradually grew fainter and fainter.

Lu Zhou waved his hand.

The shadow trembled as it kept talking about the source of the four power cores and the theory of eternal life. However, the words became more and more disjointed. Lu Zhou only heard words like heaven-defying, shackles, and 180 times over and over again. Unfortunately, he could not make sense of them at all.

Soon after, the shadow disappeared.

Lu Zhou thought to himself, The Sacred Temple has been here many times. Grand Mystic Mountain had been in a declining state. Its amazing enough that it was able to stand for 100,000 years. I bet no one knew the Unholy Ones left his final words here for 100,000 years. In fact, all these things are left behind by the Unholy One.

Buzz!

At this moment, the four power cores burst forth with terrifying power at this moment.

Subsequently, Lu Zhous consciousness turned blurry. His eyes shone with a strange light, and his mind became chaotic. He felt as though he had been transported into the vast starry sky of the universe. He could only see the stars and the Milky Way. He saw countless ancient paths forming in the Milky Way.

Following that, images after images appeared in his mind. It showed the Great Void, the mountains, the rivers, the lands, and all kinds of wonders.

One after another, fragments pieced themselves together in his mind, forming miraculous legends and stories.

There was joy, sorrow, and indifference.

At this time, the four Birth Zones had been completely formed, and the 36 triangles were now arranged as they were before.

Click! Click! Click! Click!

Four crisp sounds rang one after another as the 33rd, 34th, 35th, and 36th Birth Charts were activated.

The formation and the power in the surroundings were greatly weakened at this point.

In the cultivation world, it was most difficult to activate the final four Birth Charts, but at this moment, they were incredibly and unprecedentedly easy for Lu Zhou.

As the formation and the power weakened, the surroundings calmed down as well. The vortex in the sky had disappeared as well.

At this time, Shang Zhang, Xuanyi, Little Yuaner, and Conch looked at the ball of light that shrouded Lu Zhou.

Then, the s.p.a.ce behind them began to ripple as a roar rang from behind.

Who dares to trespa.s.s into a forbidden ground of the Great Void?

Whoos.h.!.+

An energy seal flew out toward Shang Zhang. Fortunately, he was very alert. He spun around immediately and joined his palms together, fortifying his protective energy, when he saw the energy seal.

Boom!

The energy seal was sent flying.

Xuanyi looked up and saw a person hovering in the air.

The person held one hand up in front of him. His head, just like his ears, was big. A string of Buddhist beads hung around his neck, and every single bead emitted a golden light. His eyes that were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing intent were terrifying.

Xuanyi exclaimed in surprise, Zui Can of the Sacred Temples Four Supremes?

Zui Can looked down, equally as surprised. Emperor Xuanyi? Emperor Shang Zhang?

Zui Can directly called out Shang Zhangs name.

Little Yuaner was not surprised since she had already guessed this. She quickly turned to look at Conch and found that Conch looked calm.

Shang Zhang, the attendant, was very determined to maintain his act. Hence, he said with a bewildered expression, Shang Zhang? What bullsh*t? Where is that bag of bones?

Zui Can frowned. He thought Shang Zhang was very impressive for being able to maintain a straight face as he insulted himself. After a moment, he asked, Why did you come here when you should be guarding your respective halls?
