Chapter 1012: Origin
Xiao Yunhe asked curiously, “Can I have a look?”
Lu Zhou just waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Yunhe could have a look.
Xiao Yunhe stepped forward. Since he had no context, it was not surprising he was confused by the map.
On the ancient goatskin map, initially, there were the golden lotus domain and the red lotus domain that mirrored each other. The Black Water Mystic Cave was connected to the deep abyss of the Heavenly Moat. The places overlapped in the north and separated once they reached the Endless Ocean. If one took continental drift into consideration, it was indeed in line with the compression of tectonic plates.
Lu Zhou was slightly surprised by the new changes on the ancient goatskin map.
Apart from the golden lotus domain and the red lotus domain, there were now the black, white, and yellow domains even if they were just vague outlines for now. Naturally, the colors of the domains were not shown.
The outlines of the five domains were roughly similar, but they were all obscured by the vague outlines of the Unknown Land.
Apart from these five domains, the other areas were still hidden.
“This is the black lotus domain…” Xiao Yunhe pointed at an area. “And this should be the white lotus… Am I right?” He was rather surprised by the map.
Si Wuya said, “That’s right. However, the displayed areas on the map are from my guess…”
“Your guess?” Lu Zhou asked curiously.
“My guess is that these territories were originally one body. Now, there are four known territories… Only this one isn’t too clear.” Si Wuya pointed at a territory not far from the golden lotus domain.
Lu Zhou said, “That’s the yellow lotus domain.”
“The yellow lotus domain?”Si Wuya was shocked.
Lu Zhou said without changing his expression, “When I traveled the Four Seas in my early years, I went there…”
“…”
Xiao Yunhe nodded and said, “Brother Lu’s cultivation base is profound; it’s not surprising you know about this place. I really didn’t expect there’s another domain there…”
Si Wuya looked at Xiao Yunhe speechlessly. Xiao Yunhe seemed even more familiar with his master than he did. After a while, he said, “If it’s the yellow lotus domain, things will become even more interesting. Master, I plan to stay in the Sky Research Court for a period of time to study this with everyone. I think… I think I have a brilliant idea.”
“Are you confident?” Lu Zhou asked. In fact, he wanted to find out the origin of the domains more than anyone else. He was even more curious after looking at the ancient goatskin map. He had a feeling Si Wuya was going to be the first person to discover the secrets of the heaven and earth shackles. If they managed to discover the secrets, how significant would the contributions be to human cultivators?
Si Wuya smiled without saying a word. He only bowed slightly.
Lu Zhou nodded and said, “I believe in you so I’ll leave this matter to you. Also, I have fire spirit stones here. Take them and see who needs to upgrade their weapons. You can distribute them as you see fit.”
Xiao Yunhe. ‘… What a familiar bag…’
“Understood,” Si Wuya said.
Lu Zhou tossed the bag over as he said, “Also, I handed quite a lot of life hearts to your Eldest Senior Brother; you can discuss how to use them. Remember to strictly follow the blueprint when activating your Birth Charts…”
“Yes, master.” Si Wuya put away the sheepskin ancient map and retreated to the side.
Xiao Yunhe cupped his hands and said, “I didn’t expect Brother Lu to have such a capable disciple… I’m so envious.”
Lu Zhou looked at Xiao Yunhe and asked, “Did you come to see me to say this?”
“No, no, no…” Xiao Yunhe waved his hand and said, “I came here today to bid Brother Lu farewell.”
“Farewell?”
“I still have many matters to attend to. It’s my honor getting to know Brother Lu in the Southern Kingdom,” Xiao Yunhe said.
Lu Zhou bluntly said, “I know you really want Ying Zhao’s heart, but it’s extremely precious. Even if I give it to you, there’s no guarantee that it can recover your Birth Charts. However, I’m not an unreasonable person. If people respect me, I’ll definitely return the favor. Manifest your avatar.”
Xiao Yunhe was slightly skeptical. However, he believed Lu Zhou would not scheme against him. Therefore, he manifested his avatar.
Buzz!
A miniature Thousand Realms Whirling avatar appeared in front of Xiao Yunhe.
Upon seeing it, Si Wuya was shocked. ‘Seven Birth Charts! No, wait, the Birth Palace is damaged! He was a super 12 Chart expert!’
Lu Zhou slowly rose to his feet and walked to the avatar. After studying it for a moment, he said, “I’m not sure how much I can help you…”
“Brother Lu, do you have an idea on how to repair it?” Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, “In any case, I’m happy enough that Brother Lu has such intentions. For 2,000 years, I’ve searched and met brilliant healers, but none of them can heal it. Although they’re highly skilled, there was nothing they could do for the damaged Birth Palace… Later on, I began to research on my own. There were so many leads that led to nowhere…”
Si Wuya said from the side, “The cultivation world may seem cruel, but it’s actually fair. If it’s so easy to recover, wouldn’t high-level cultivators forever remain in a high position? Since ancient times, the principle has been that the strong prey on the weak. However, the heavens will find a balance as well. This… Senior Xiao, please forgive me if I’ve misspoken…”
Xiao Yunhe shook his head and said, “This child is worth teaching. Brother Lu, I’m really more and more envious of you…”
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “Hold your breath and concentrate. Focus on your Dantian.”
Lu Zhou lifted his hand; a blue lotus appeared above his palm.
Xiao Yunhe looked at the blue lotus in a daze. When the blue lotus landed on his body, it began to bloom.
When the blue lotus appeared, Lu Zhou noticed that it resembled his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar’s lotus. There were also five vague zones that flickered with faint blue light. This meant that his healing skill had increased along with his cultivation base.
Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, using all the power of the Heavenly Writing Power at once, “Disperse.”
…
With the Preservation Hall in the center, huge waves of vitality began to converge from all directions.
Flowers, trees, and plants in the vicinity of the Preservation Hall grew at a speed visible to the naked eyes.
The energy that surged like the ocean quickly swept across a radius of 1,000 meters of the Preservation Hall.
The experts in the royal palace flew into the sky and enjoyed the vitality energy.
Some of the nearby soldiers were healed of their old injuries and glowed with life.
All of them immediately prostrated themselves respectfully.
Even the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion who were used to such occurrences were surprised by the powerful vitality energy.
…
Back in the Preservation Hall.
Needless to say, Xiao Yunhe was also shocked by such powerful vitality energy that seemed as vast as the ocean. He looked at his Birth Palace and found that the damaged area showed signs of recovering. Although it was not much, he was so excited that he could barely calm down. For 2,000 years, he had been searching for ways to repair the damage to his Birth Palace. Finally, with the help of the old man in front of him, he finally saw a ray of hope!
“Focus,” Lu Zhou reminded Xiao Yunhe.
Fortunately, Xiao Yun was not an ordinary person. He knew he could not be distracted in this kind of situation. He immediately sat cross-legged and concentrated on absorbing the vitality energy.
Lu Zhou stopped and said, “If the same method is used again, the effect will be greatly reduced. Cherish this opportunity.”
After Lu Zhou finished speaking, he looked away. The rest would have to depend on Xiao Yunhe.
