Chapter 1019: Traveling to the Black Lotus Domain
Lu Zhou nodded slightly. He had just thought about it, and his wish had been granted. If only the lucky draws were like that, he would have long become the number one supreme expert in the world.
Hua Wudao smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Mister Seven to be skilled in this as well…”
Lu Zhou shook his head. “With Xiao Yunhe’s blueprint, it’s not difficult. However, it’s a bit difficult to be like a runemaster and set it up everywhere.”
“A runemaster’s control over every detail of the formation is incredibly precise. At the same time, they also need a high cultivation base. I think Elder Zuo has the potential for this…” Pan Litian said.
In the golden lotus domain, Zuo Yushu was the genius of the Confucian school. If she did not leave, she would have become the number one runemaster of the Confucian school. Even the heaven-grade Coiling Dragon Staff in her hand was frightening. Unfortunately, that was in the past. She was well aware of her strength so she hastily waved her hand and said, “Forget about me. If it weren’t for elder brother taking me in, I would’ve died of old age in the deep mountain. I wouldn’t have a chance to experience this world…”
In fact, the four elders shared similar thoughts. They were once powerful figures and their cultivation bases were not that bad now. However, they were still far from being powerful in current times. It was inevitable that it had become a mental stumbling block to them.
Lu Zhou said, “Don’t be discouraged. The Evil Sky Pavilion still needs the four elders. You were all top geniuses after all. What you lack isn’t opportunity or resources; what you lack is time…”
The four elders nodded. They had broken through the Eight-leaf limit, and their lifespan had also increased. In terms of strength, apart from the ten disciples, their strength was not too bad.
Finally, Hua Wudao said, “I will do my best and form the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar as soon as possible!”
Since the BTC was no longer monopolizing all the Birth Chart Beasts in the red lotus domain, it would be much easier to obtain life hearts. As more and more people sprouted the tenth leaf, Birth Chart Beasts would appear as well. It was only a matter of time for cultivators to grow stronger and stronger.
“Brother, who do you plan to bring to the black lotus domain?” Zuo Yushu asked.
Indeed. Lu Zhou was stumped by this matter as well. The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion had to at least form their Thousand Realms Whirling avatars first before they could be of use in a fight. They did not need to reach the level of a judge, but they had to at least be at the level of a blackguard so they would have the ability to go on missions alone.
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhou said, “Shen Xi and Yu Zhenghai.”
“Aren’t you going to bring a few more people to intimidate them?” Zuo Yushu asked.
The Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council had always done a good job putting on an ostentatious show. It did not make sense for the Evil Sky Pavilion not to do so.
However, on second thought, the BTC and the WTC had many experiences with this. For the Evil Sky Pavilion, having too many people might prove to be a hindrance instead.
“Two of them is enough…” Lu Zhou said.
Pan Litian said, “That’s right. Since Pavilion Master is there, what’s the need for more people? It’d be too pitiful for the others if the Pavilion Master brings other experts as well…”
“Pavilion Master is wise,” Hua Wudao bowed and said.
“Tell Si Wuya to make the necessary preparations. I’ll leave for the black lotus domain in two days.”
“Understood.”
…
Silence returned to the Preservation Hall after everyone left.
Lu Zhou continued to study the Deconstruction Card. After checking the system interface, he saw the Deconstruction Card was sold for 20,000 merit points.
He nodded; the price was still acceptable. The materials obtained from the deconstruction were very precious so the price was reasonable. It seemed like he had to collect more weapons in the future to deconstruct them.
Following that, Lu Zhou looked at his lifespan. He had nearly 300 years left. Previously, he tried to use a life heart to recover some years, but it did not work. In other words, before activating the Birth Chart, life hearts could be used to increase lifespan. However, once a Birth Chart had been activated, one could only depend on the Birth Chart. Needless to say, the higher the number of Birth Charts one activated, the more redundant the low-level life hearts would be. No wonder not many people would reuse life hearts and waste 1,500 years of life.
…
Two days later.
In the red lotus domain’s Sky Martial Court.
In front of the Sacred Rites Hall.
Si Wuya, Huang Yu, w.a.n.g Dachui, and the others were all present, looking at their masterpiece with satisfaction.
“Mister Seven, you’re truly a rare genius. I’ve never met anyone like you before. Possibly the last person whom I thought that way about was Luo Xuan. Why don’t you become the Dean of the Sky Research Court? I’ll raise both hands in agreement!”
“That’s right! I’m not one who easily acknowledges a person, but I’m convinced by your abilities.”
“The Sky Research Court needs a dean. No one is more suited for that position than you…”
Faced with everyone’s praise, Si Wuya shook his head and said, “I only managed to do this because of the blueprint Tower Master Xiao gave us. It’s nothing. Others can probably complete it as well if they have the blueprint. It’s nothing to be proud of… In any case, this is just the beginning.”
Everyone nodded.
No matter what, the creation of a runic pa.s.sage here signified a new era between the gold, red, black, and white domains. Messenger birds and flying chariots would slowly become a thing of the past.
At this moment, a voice rang from the direction of the semicircular pool.
“Senior Lu has arrived…”
Everyone turned around and looked over.
Lu Zhou, Yu Zhenghai, Shen Xi, and four soldiers carried two stretchers appeared before everyone’s eyes.
“Greetings, master, Eldest Senior Brother.” Si Wuya bowed.
“Greetings, Senior Lu, Mister First.” The people of the Sky Research Court bowed.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He asked, “Is the runic pa.s.sage ready?”
“It’s ready, but the positioning is not that accurate. The Sky Research Academy has already mastered the basic inscription method and the principles. The Research Heavenly Academy had already mastered the basic carving method and principle. In the golden lotus domain, the Big Dipper Academy and the Sky Conduct Academy are also working on the runic pa.s.sage. I believe it won’t be long before everything will be completed,” Si Wuya said.
Everyone sighed emotionally. Previously, they were studying the Sea Shuttle, the Sky Shuttle, and the Void Carriage. Who knew with the emergence of the runic pa.s.sage, all those things would be rendered obsolete.
“Very good.”
“Master, are you only bringing Eldest Senior Brother and Guardian Shen with you?” Si Wuya asked curiously.
Yu Zhenghai stepped forward and patted Si Wuya’s shoulder heavily. He said with a smile, “Younger brother, are you worried about me?”
There was no need to worry when their master was present. However, Si Wuya had to admit he disliked his Eldest Senior Brother’s unrestrained strength. In the end, he said, “Uh… That’s not what I mean. With Elder Senior Brother’s cultivation base, there’s no need to worry…”
“Mm, as expected of my good junior brother.” Yu Zhenghai patted Si Wuya on the shoulder again.
Si Wuya felt as though he was going to fall apart.
Meanwhile, Shen Xi recalled Yu Shangrong cutting down Xu Chen in the Land of Chaos and nodded inwardly. If the second disciple was so terrifying, how could the first disciple be weak?
With these thoughts in mind, Shen Xi took the initiative and bowed and said apologetically, “I’m sorry for being a burden…”
“I… That’s not what I mean…” Si Wuya said awkwardly. However, the more explained, the worse it became.
Lu Zhou said, “There’s no need to explain. Since it’s ready, let’s go.” Then, he called out, “Whitzard.”
Ever since Lu Zhou left previously, Whitzard had been staying at the mountain at the back of the Sacred Rites Hall. This was a good chance to bring it along. If necessary, it could help him replenish his supreme mystic power.
Since they were traveling through the runic pa.s.sage, there was no need for Di Jiang.
As though he could read his master’s mind, Si Wuya’s eyes brightened as he asked, “Master, where’s Di Jiang?”
“Di Jiang is in the pa.s.s. Take care of him when you have time,” Lu Zhou said.
“Understood.” Si Wuya could not ask for more.
Lu Zhou stood in front of the runic pa.s.sage and studied the patterns on the ground and the energy stones in the surroundings. Compared to the black lotus domain’s inscriptions, they were a little more rough and obvious. It would be easily discovered in the wild.
After a moment, Lu Zhou confidently walked in.
Shen Xi, Whitzard, Yu Zhenghai, and the four cultivators carrying the stretchers followed suit and entered the runic pa.s.sage.
Following that, Shen Xi brought out a talisman and smacked it on the ground.
With that, the runic pa.s.sage lit up before a beam of light shot up into the sky.
When the light disappeared, Lu Zhou and the others could no longer be seen.
