Chapter 1250: Enhanced Deadly Strike Card (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Despite the suspicious expression on her face, Little Yuan’er patted the Little Fire Phoenix and muttered, “I’ve wronged you.”
Then, she scratched her head and looked at her flat Birth Palace.

In the Birth Palace, a Birth Chart zone formed and caved in like a funnel.
This was the second stage of the activation of a Birth Chart.
Little Yuan’er sighed before she brought out the Birth Chap map she had copied and murmured to herself, “I didn’t put it in the wrong place. It’s here. Did I succeed?”
She found this a little hard to believe. During the time when her master was cultivating in seclusion, she had asked her Eldest Senior Brother for advice. At that time, he had emphasized repeatedly that the activation of a Birth Chart was a torturous and painful process. He had told her that as long as she could endure it, it would be all worth it. The activation of her first Birth Chart would pave the way to forming her Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.
Little Yuan’er did not feel any pain at all so she thought she might have placed her Birth Chart in the wrong place.
“Focus.”
Little Yuan’er sat cross-legged and observed the changes in her Birth Palace.
Due to the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence, the speed of the Birth Palace’s absorption of vitality energy was also 15 times faster.
After an hour, her lotus seat finally stopped spinning, and she saw the edges of her Birth Palace flashing with light.
“That’s it?” Little Yuan’er was puzzled.
Swoosh!
At this time, the green-clad Yu Shangrong landed on a branch of a tree with his sword in hand. He said with a faint smile, “Congratulations, Ninth Junior Sister! You’ve successfully activated your first Birth Chart.”
“Huh? Second Senior Brother, is this it?”
“That’s right,” Yu Shangrong nodded.
“But… Why didn’t I feel anything at all?” Little Yuan’er asked, baffled.
“When master activated his first Birth Chart to form the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, it took him four hours. It took your Eldest Senior Brother and me about five days to do so. Because of the Pillar of Impermanence, the speed is 15 times faster. Moreover, you’re far more talented than your senior brothers and have stayed at the Ten-leaf stage for too long. With the Supreme Purity Jade Slip, your foundation is incredibly stable. Hence, it’s not surprising it took you an hour just to activate your Birth Chart…” Yu Shangrong explained.
Little Yuan’er nodded. “I see. Thank you, Second Senior Brother.”
“Since you’ve activated your first Birth Chart, you should strike while the iron is hot and form your Thousand Realms Whirling avatar,” Yu Shangrong said in an even tone.
“Okay!” Little Yuan’er nodded. Then, she asked, “Second Senior Brother, aren’t you going to cultivate?”
“I’m looking for your Fourth Senior Brother,” Yu Shangrong said before he flashed away. He had long absorbed his life heart so he wanted to look for Mingshi Yin to get another life heart so he could continue absorbing life hearts. The Noblemen had short lives, to begin with. The years they obtained from cultivating were only half of what ordinary cultivators gained. To him, 15 times the cultivation speed was like paying double the price. Hence, he treasured his time cultivating in this environment even more than anyone else.
Meanwhile, Little Yuan’er sighed in relief after listening to Yu Shangrong’s words. She sat down cross-legged again and rested her hands on her lap before she circulated the energy in her Dantian’s sea of Qi. Then, she slowly began to form her Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.
When the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar evolved into the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, it was like a complete reconstruction of a body. Theoretically, it should be very painful.
In the area within a radius of a kilometer that Lu Zhou had formed, Primal Qi surged into Little Yuan’er’s meridians in a hurry. The energy circulated swiftly through her meridians before surging into her Dantian’s sea of Qi. Through the Dantian’s sea of Qi, changes began to occur.
First, on the lotus seat, Birth Palace now looked like a circular disk. Then, it looked like someone had taken a scalpel and etched patterns on it.
“Is this the… Birth Disk?”
“I have to focus. Senior Brother had said that the disk in the Birth Palace is the foundation of the astrolabe…” Little Yuan’er steadied her breathing and focused. It was rare for her to be so serious.
Swoosh!
The little Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and landed next to the Birth Palace. Then, it opened its beak and spat out a small flame.
“???” Little Yuan’er gently smacked it away. “Don’t be annoying!”
Crash!
The little Fire Phoenix tripped and crashed against the root of a tree.
The astrolabe was very important. If she failed to focus, it might deal a heavy blow to her cultivation.
Little Yuan’er and the little Fire Phoenix had bonded somewhat and had grown more familiar with each other. Hence, the little Fire Phoenix was not afraid of Little Yuan’er at all. After it regained its footing, it flew back to her Birth Palace again.
“What are you trying to do?” Little Yuan’er waved her fist at it.
Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!
“If you spit fire again, I’ll roast you!” Little Yuan’er said threateningly. After a moment, she cried out, “Wait! You can spit fire now?”
She rose to her feet and rushed toward the little Fire Phoenix and carried it in her hands as she said excitedly, “Hurry up! Do it again!”
The little Fire Phoenix blinked its big eyes at Little Yuan’er, then it opened its beak…
Swoosh!
A fist-sized flame shot toward Little Yuan’er.
Little Yuan’er. “?”
The little Fire Phoenix flapped its wings and struggled to free itself from her grip. When it regained its freedom, it hurriedly flew into the distance.
Little Yuan’er touched her hair and found them burnt and crispy. When she touched her face, her fingers came away black. Her entire person smelled burnt. She shouted angrily, “I’m going to beat you up!”
Just as she was about to give chase, she saw a golden dazzling round disk appear behind her Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.
“A-astrolabe?”
Then, her Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar swiftly transformed into a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.
At this time, her golden lotus and her Birth Palace that shone with golden light finally stopped spinning. The regions in her Birth Palace were distinct and beautiful.
Little Yuan’er had finally entered the Thousand Realms Whirling stage.
…
“Ding! One of your disciples, Ci Yuan’er, has successfully formed the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. Reward: 10,000 merit points.”
“Ding! Ci Yuan’er has met the requirements to complete his apprenticeship. Would you like her to complete his apprenticeship?”
“Ding! Disciples will provide more rewards for their master after leaving their master and entering the world.”
Upon hearing this series of notifications, Lu Zhou opened his eyes. The speed at which Little Yuan’er activated her Birth Chart and formed her Thousand Realms Whirling avatar had surprised him.
He had known for a long time that Little Yuan’er’s talent was incredibly high. Moreover, the Great Void Seed also had the best effect on her. However, he did not expect her to be so terrifyingly talented.
Among his disciples, Little Yuan’er was undoubtedly the most talented, cultivation-wise. Her cultivation speed was the fastest among all his disciples.
Although Conch had reached the Ten-leaf stage first, it did not really count since she had inherited Luo Xuan’s cultivation base.
From the beginning to the end, Little Yuan’er did not rely on fortuitous encounters nor was she given any special shortcuts. There was no doubt the one who took the shortest time to reach the Ten-leaf stage was her.
‘Then, should I allow her to complete her apprenticeship?’ Unlike the others, Lu Zhou considered this very seriously.
After all, although Little Yuan’er had entered the Thousand Realms Whirling stage, she was still not wise to the ways of the world and lacked experience. Moreover, with her personality, it was not suitable for her to enter the world and establish a sect yet. It was impossible for her to teach her disciples. It was good enough that she did not lead them astray.
“What will happen if I refuse to let her complete her apprenticeship?” Lu Zhou wondered. Prior to this, he had allowed all his disciples who were qualified to complete their apprenticeships.
“Reject the completion of the apprenticeship.”

“Ding! Your disciple, Ci Yuan’er, will continue to learn from you until you think she’s qualified to complete her apprenticeship.”
“Ding! You’re rewarded with a random card. Since your disciple has yet to complete her apprenticeship, when you use this card, you’ll be randomly rewarded with a common item.”
Lu Zhou nodded. He had suspected this would happen when he rejected the completion of Little Yuan’er apprenticeship.
“If the apprenticeship is completed, I’ll be rewarded with a rare item. If I reject the completion of the apprenticeship, I’ll be given a common item.”
It was reasonable. Moreover, Little Yuan’er would complete her apprenticeship in the future. At that time, he would still be rewarded with a rare item. Now that he thought about it, with this, he had actually gained a common item.
“Use the random card.”
“Ding! You’ve received 3 Deadly Strike Cards.”
