Following that, the figure disappeared.
Lu Zhou frowned. ‘5 million merit points just for a few disjointed superficial words? What a loss!’
In any case, he still managed to glean three pieces of important information:
One, the merit stone that he had seen in the Scripture of Sermons was very important. After the completion of the system upgrade, he obtained the Heavenly Scroll and those final words. The final words indicated that the system was related to the Unholy One.
Second, the merit stone was the key to breaking the heaven and earth shackles that had existed since time immemorial. The shackles in the golden lotus domain were just a small shackle that retrained the golden lotus cultivators by using their lack of lifespan. However, that shackle was broken with the severing of the lotus.
Third, eternal life. For a long time, he did not believe that humans could live forever. During this cultivation journey, his belief was only further strengthened. However, after receiving the letter and hearing the words ‘looking forward to eternal life’ , he was suddenly not certain.
No one understood the system more than he did, after all It was like a mysterious power. It could extend lives and grant supreme power.
If the Unholy One’s words were true, they would have an earth-shattering impact on the cultivation world.
Everyone, humans and fierce beasts alike, knew in the past 100,000 years, and even in ancient times, about the law of conservation in regards to energy. Second, time would forever flow forward, not backward. Finally, death; no one could live forever.
However, if these three major rules were overturned, what would the consequences be?”
Lu Zhou recalled what he had said when he met Meng Zhang, the Azure
Dragon. At that time, he had said that if humans did not die, those at the bottom would have no chance to rise while powerful people would only grow more powerful. Was this really good?
Lu Zhou dismissed his complex thoughts for the time being. With just a thought, a memory crystal appeared in his hand.
Lu Zhou furrowed his brows as he looked at the memory crystal that looked like a luminous pearl.
“Does it hold the Unholy One’s memories?
With his previous experience with the Scripture of Sermons and the Resurrection Scroll, he knew the letter and the memory crystal had to belong to the Unholy One.
Lu Zhou thought about the past. From the time he obtained the Scrolls of Heavenly Writing, cultivated, became stronger, and to the incidents with Lu
Tiantong and the Unholy One. He felt that everything was inextricably linked to the Unholy One. Even the time he met Ming Ban, the divine lord, and Tu Wei had something to do with the Unholy One.
He looked at the memory crystal in his hand and said tonelessly, “Although I’m not the Unholy One, the world seems to need the Unholy One. Since this is the case, I’ll be the Unholy One.’
He clenched his hand, and the energy from the memory crystal surged out.
In a sense, he was the Unholy One’s successor. If not for the Unholy One, he would have died a long time ago.
Faces, battles, and various scenes flooded Lu Zhou’s mind. Just like when he first transmigrated, scenes after scenes appeared. However, this time, it was different because he was more like a spectator.
He witnessed the changes of the Great Void over the past 100,000 years. He saw an expert fighting many supreme beings and killing four of them. He saw how the land was split apart by a mysterious force, and he saw the Lost Lands.
He witnessed the collapse of mountains and rivers before a new land emerged overnight. He saw countless lives falling into despair as sea beasts attacked humans.
Time flew by quickly.
After a while, the memories in his head finally disappeared. The memory crystal in his hand also turned into dust.
Lu Zhou inhaled deeply. Although only an hour had passed, it felt like 100 years.
For a moment, Lu Zhou thought he was the Unholy One. After a moment, he collected his thoughts. He shook his head, reminding himself he was not the Unholy One.
He looked up at the sky and muttered, “Unholy One, you can go in peace. I’ll seek justice for you.”
After that, Lu Zhou brought out the simple ancient map. After taking a look, he saw that the marked locations on the map were at the positions of the Heavenly Stems.
“What does this mean?” Lu Zhou was puzzled.
He studied every detail on the map. From top to bottom, a line of words could be seen on the bottom of the map. It read: Take back the life hearts.
The words were crooked and messy as though they were written in a hurry. In the midst of the words, there was a dark dot.
“Blood?” As a cultivator, Lu Zhou could tell instantly that it was a drop of blood. For some reason, he could imagine what a terrible state the Unholy One must be in when he wrote those words. How pitiful.
Lu Zhou put the simple ancient map into the Vast Sky Bag then he inhaled deeply.
He brought out his golden lotus and looked at the 26 bright Birth Charts. His Birth Palace was clearly stronger, and his limit had been completely opened. It was good; this meant he could continue to advance.
However, according to the letter, since he was able to obtain the letter, he was already a supreme being.
Could the 26 Birth Charts make up for the other unactivated ten Birth Charts and turn him into a supreme being? Was this not too exaggerated?
Lu Zhou had a feeling this had something to do with the blue avatar. With a flick of his sleeve, he brought the blue avatar out.
The blue avatar was not essentially golden. It looked dazzling with the electric arcs flashing around it.
“Hmm?”
Lu Zhou saw that it still had six Birth Charts. However, after cultivation for 100 years and the upgrade of the system, it had sprouted three more leaves.
Previously, it had eleven leaves. Currently, it had fourteen leaves and six Birth Charts.
“This…”
Every leaf after the tenth leaf was equivalent to six Birth Charts. This meant Lu Zhou’s blue avatar could be considered to have 30 leaves.
“Isn’t the highest number 13 leaves?
The normal order was to first enter the Thousand Realms Whirling stage. For every activated 12 Birth Charts, one would sprout a leaf. After activating 24 Birth Charts, the Ovelfth leaf would sprout. After activating 36 Birth Charts, one would become a supreme being.
However, Lu Zhou’s blue avatar had 14 leaves. Indeed, this cultivation path was very special and unique.
“I only need to activate all my Birth Charts now…”
Lu Zhou would require a lot of life hearts for this. He still needed 10 life hearts for his golden avatar, and he needed 30 life hearts for his blue avatar. All in all, he needed 40 life hearts. Moreover, all 40 life hearts had to be of the highest grade.
After a moment, Lu Zhou looked down into the abyss. It was still dark with spots of light lighting it.
“I’ll investigate further when I officially become a supreme being.”
Following that, Lu Zhou flew up like a shooting star toward the top of the abyss.
The power of the earth in the abyss surged immediately and formed a barrier that prevented him from leaving.
Lu Zhou maintained his speed and continued to charge upward. He could clearly feel that he had become stronger. When he arrived at the area where the pressure and the power were the strongest, he raised his hand. It was as though he had turned into a blade as the extremely pure divine energy shrouded his body. At the same time, a power that seemed capable of tearing the very fabric of space appeared in his hand as electric arcs flashed around his body..
