Lu Zhou looked at the defined pattern on the lotus seat. The entire process of activating his first Birth Chart was exceptionally smooth.
While Lu Zhou was still mulling over the matter, the Birth Disk on the lotus seat suddenly grew bigger.
The familiar sound of resonance between energies rang in the air, and Lu Zhou’s avatar began to increase in size.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zhou hurriedly controlled his vitality energy and his avatar. However, the speed at which his avatar was growing was incredibly quick. In just a moment, it broke the room open.
Boom!
The avatar grew to 200 feet and showed no sign of stopping.
210 feet.
220 feet.
…
The thunderous commotion naturally attracted the Cloud Mountain disciples.
At this time, Nie Qingyun was accompanying Li Yunzheng on the cloud platform, chatting and enjoying the scenery when they heard the commotion as well. Both of them instinctively turned to look in the direction of the commotion.
“Senior Lu’s avatar!”
…
Boom!
The avatar and lotus seat had completely demolished the room.
Lu Zhou looked at the lotus seat in front of him with a frown. Logically, as long as he controlled it with his energy, the avatar would be able to pass through the building without causing any damage. Why did it suddenly expand and go out of control? What went wrong?
230 feet.
The height of the avatar continued to increase.
Lu Zhou knew this was the sign of the avatar becoming stronger. However, it should not be out of his control.
He looked at the lotus seat again. At this moment, it was the size of a small pond.
…
Meanwhile, Li Yunzheng who saw this scene could not help but say emotionally, “Grandmaster is really good to me! He actually personally did a live demonstration of the activation of a Birth Chart for me and showed me his Birth Chart…”
Nie Qingyun asked in surprise, “The Birth Chart?”
“Look! In the middle of the lotus, the lotus seat, there’s a distinct pattern that flashes with light every once in a while. That’s his Birth Chart!” Li Yunzheng was filled with awe. He had read about many things, but he had never had a chance to witness the things he read about. How could he not be filled with awe and excitement when he was able to witness something he had only read about?
“Men,” Nie Qingyun called out.
Two disciples appeared immediately.
“Pass down my order. The Cloud Mountain disciples are prohibited from approaching the third peak in order not to disturb Senior Lu’s cultivation. Apart from that, clean up the main hall.”
“Understood.”
With this order in place, the curious Cloud Mountain disciples could only stay away from Lu Zhou’s place.
…
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou was focused on watching the changes of his lotus seat that he did not pay any attention to the Cloud Mountain disciples at all.
240 feet.
At this moment, the Star Aligns the Pen and Sword shot out a beam of light straight up to the sky.
This reminded him of the scene in the Sky Wheel Rift Valley when the Heavenly Fire Sect’s Feng Zihe activated the power from the Yong’s life heart.
Lu Zhou glanced at the Confinement Seal in the distance and quickly put it away before he flew up to his avatar.
“Hmm, the lotus seat is not absorbing vitality energy now?”
Lu Zhou was pondering on this when Conch appeared and pointed at the beam of light as she said, “Master, stop it! Make it stop!”
Despite her words, she was clapping as though she was watching a firework display.
“Stop it?”
Lu Zhou flew to the top of the beam of light and pressed it down with his palm. He was shocked by the powerful vitality from the beam of light. Fortunately, the beam of light did not attack him. It only felt like it was trying to stop him. Soon after, he successfully stopped the beam of light, causing the vitality energy to surge back into the lotus seat.
With this, the avatar finally stopped growing when it reached 250 feet.
Meanwhile, the polygonal pattern on the lotus seat flashed in a frenzy for a moment before it returned to normal.
At this moment, Lu Zhou could sense the avatar was not under his control again. He quickly withdrew his avatar.
After he landed on the ground, he placed his hands on his back and walked to Conch before he asked, “Conch, where’s your senior sister?”
Conch replied, “Senior sister is still sleeping. I heard a big commotion so I came to have a look.”
Lu Zhou thought to himself that the little girl was too lazy. After a while, he asked Conch, perplexed, “You know about Birth Charts?”
Conch seemed to be in a daze as she replied, “Yes, I think I’ve seen it before…”
If this was true, Conch’s background had just gotten more complicated.
In the red lotus domain, there was no one who managed to successfully activate their Birth Charts in the past 2,000 years! Where or when could Conch have seen it?
However, Lu Zhou only said, “You may leave now and continue with your cultivation.”
“Yes.”
Lu Zhou turned around and surveyed the room and the side hall. Unfortunately, it was completely destroyed. WIth this, he could only make his way to the main hall. Fortunately, the main hall had already been repaired.
When he arrived at the main hall, he saw a few disciples tidying the main hall.
The disciples bowed one after another before one of them said, “The sect master said Senior Lu should rest in the main hall.”
“You may leave.”
“Understood.” The Cloud Mountain disciples left the main hall immediately.
As soon as Lu Zhou entered the main hall, he manifested his avatar. Apart from the increase in height, the lotus seat had expanded as well. This could be seen even though it was in its miniature size now.
Lu Zhou increased its size.
On the lotus seat, in the Birth Palace, the pattern of the Birth Chart could be clearly seen. It seemed like as long as even the smallest thought of controlling it appeared in his mind, the pattern would flash with light.
Apart from that, the avatar seemed more solid as well. If previously it was only golden in color, currently, it looked like it was made of pure gold.
“So activating one Birth Chart increased its height by 50 feet…”
“Lu Li has activated five Birth Charts so his avatar should be about 450 feet tall?” However, when he recalled Lu Li’s Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, it seemed like it was much taller than if he had just activated five Birth Charts. Naturally, this was just his speculation. There was a possibility that one’s avatar would gain additional height as well after forming the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar for the first time.
After a moment, Lu Zhou opened the system panel and looked at the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar he had purchased.
The system notification he received at this moment was different from the one he received the night before.
“Ding! Would you like to use the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar?”
Previously, the system had notified him that he had to activate a Birth Chart first before he could use the avatar. He had finally fulfilled the requirement.
Lu Zhou could not help but sigh emotionally. His speed was too incredible! It had not been that long since he had reached the Ten-leaf stage after all.
Everyone had assumed that he had been a Ten-leaf elite for a long time and had also activated his Birth Chart.
Although his speed was incredible, it was really difficult to accumulate 500,000 merit points.
Yu Chenshu alone had given him a headache and killing Yu Chenshu did not give him nearly enough merit points. Moreover, he did not expect the True Kunlun Sect and the Void Sect would stay out of the fight. If Yu Chenshu did as he had expected and did not bring anyone with him, it would have been impossible for him to accumulate 500,000 merit points.
Fortunately, it was Lu Li who appeared. After all, if it was another Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator, he or she would probably be ruthless. At that time, Lu Zhou would have no choice but to use his merit points to buy a Deadly Strike Card. Moreover, a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator definitely had many life-saving techniques. This meant that he would probably have to purchase more than one Deadly Strike Cards or other item cards.
Lu Zhou looked at the main hall thoughtfully for a moment. ‘The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar won’t destroy the main hall, right?’
He shook his head. ‘It can’t be helped. This is an important matter.’
“Use it.”
The Thousand Realms Whirling vanished from the system panel and spots of starlight like fireflies appeared around his avatar.
Primal Qi began to surge as the sky changed color and the clouds were stirred by the violent wind.
…
The Cloud Mountain disciples did not think much of the change in the weather and dismissed it as bad weather.
Meanwhile, Nie Qingyun and Li Yunzheng looked at the sky suspiciously.
Li Yunzheng asked curiously, “What kind of weather is this?”
Nie Qingyun only said, “Your Majesty, it’s time for you to return and rest.”
“No, Sect Master Nie, look!” Li Yuncheng saw the large amount of Primal Qi above the main hall in the peak that looked like dark clouds. Soon after, the Primal Qi shot down into the main hall.
“This…” Nie Qingyun frowned. “Is Senior Lu uncomfortable living on Cloud Mountain? Is that why he’s destroying the courtyards here?”
Lu Yunzheng suggested, “Why don’t we give my courtyard to grandmaster?”
“Is… Is this appropriate?”
“There’s nothing appropriate or inappropriate about it. Although I’m the ruler of the country, it’s just an empty title. Let’s just give my place to grandmaster. Look, the main hall is about to be destroyed again! Let me tell you; grandmaster’s temper isn’t as good as you think it is!” Li Yunzheng said.
“Your Majesty is magnanimous and admirable,” Nie Qingyun said. Then, he shuddered as the scene of Lu Zhou beating up Ye Zhen appeared in his mind unbidden. Bad temper… felt like an understatement. Lu Zhou had slapped someone to death just because of a single word of disagreement. Indeed, one should not provoke Birth Chart masters.
