Chapter 1281: Breaking the Wall
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The process was unbelievably smooth.
Based on Lu Zhou’s previous of activating Birth Charts, the life heart would draw a distinct place on its position in the Birth Palace. However, the Divine Soul Pearl drew a circular pattern when it sank into the Birth Palace. Moreover, there was no pain nor discomfort when it sank into his Birth Palace.
Clack!
A small noise rang in the air as the Divine Soul Pearl sank completely into the circular sunken hole in the Birth Palace. Then, it began to glow brightly.
Following that, three distinct noises rang in the air before the sunken hole covered the Divine Soul Pearl completely.
“…”
This was beyond Lu Zhou’s understanding. Based on his experience, after the Divine Soul Pearl was embedded in his Birth Palace, it should start absorbing vitality energy to form his 12th Birth Chart. However, the Divine Soul Pearl had directly sunk into his Birth Palace. He reached out and touched his Birth Palace. It was flat and smooth, showing no signs that the Divine Soul Pearl had just sunk in. It looked as though the Birth Palace had just swallowed his Divine Soul Pearl like an egg. What was going on?
He studied it for a while, but there was no movement at all. Then, he thought perhaps, he had already activated his 12 Birth Chart. He brought his astrolabe out to have a look, but there was no 12th Birth Chart to be seen.
Lu Zhou frowned. Then, he decided to wait for changes while he checked his system.
Merit points: 282,760
He would have more merit points if he did not synthesize two enhanced Thunderblast Cards.
Lu Wu had destroyed 50 Birth Charts altogether, earning him a lot of merit points.
Remaining lifespan: 1,728,042 days (4,734 years)
Lu Zhou looked at his Birth Palace again.
“The Divine Soul Pearl holds all of Tian Wu’s abilities, but I can only obtain one Birth Chart from it. What a pity… If the energy in the pearl can be replenished, it’d be a good weapon…”
Lu Zhou recalled when Tuoba Sicheng used the Divine Soul Pearl earlier. Indeed, it was powerful.
“I hope I’ll obtain a good ability.”
While Lu Zhou was lost in his thoughts, his Birth Palace suddenly shone. Following that, he felt a surging power in his Dantian’s sea of Qi striking the wall of his sea of Qi. This caught him unprepared.
The first wave of Primal Qi striking the wall of his sea of Qi brought pain with it. He hurriedly mobilized his divine power to alleviate the pain. Then, he withstood the second wave, the third wave, and the fourth wave of energy. His cultivation was increasing tremendously.
Bang!
The force of the impact grew stronger and stronger with each passing wave.
The sea of Qi was like a container. There were two situations where the wall of the sea of Qi would break: one, it was forcibly broken, resulting in death or injury; two, it broke naturally on its own to expand in size. The second situation would happen when a new wall of the sea of Qi formed, causing the old wall of the sea of Qi to break.
Bang!
Lu Zhou grunted as blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth.
“The Primal Qi is too violent…” Lu Zhou muttered to himself as his eyes burned. He did not expect it to be so fierce.
Although this wave of energy injured him slightly, his cultivation was increasing greatly. Following that, he prepared to withstand the next wave of attack. He raised his hand and silently chanted the mantra for the power of healing. In just a moment, his injury was healed. He could also sense his divine power was stronger than before.
Bang!
During this wave of attack, he heard a distinct sound as the wall of his sea of Qi shattered. Primal Qi instantly flooded into his Dantian’s sea of Qi and circulated through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians in a frenzy. He hurriedly strengthened his meridians with his divine power. His meridians seemed to change colors as Primal Qi continued to surge crazily.
Primal Qi continued to surge endlessly, not showing any signs of stopping.
Lu Zhou closed his eyes and endured the impact from the energy using his divine power.
…
At the same time.
After Mingshi Yin found an isolated place, he patted Qiong Qi and said, “Don’t make trouble next time. Lord Zhennan was not someone you could afford to provoke.”
Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
“I won’t stoop to your level and bicker with you. Make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Mingshi Yin said.
Qiong Qi barked twice before it lay on the ground and began to chew on something.
“Hey, what are you eating?”
Woof!
Qiong Qi snarled as though it was going to bite.
“Hey, are you trying to protect your food from me?” Mingshi Yin asked. Then, he lifted his hand and launched a palm seal at Qiong Qi. Naturally, the force of the palm seal was not strong and only pushed it to the side.
Qiong Qi whimpered, looking aggrieved, before it spat out the thing in its mouth.
Mingshi Yin wished he did not see it. It was quite disgusting. It looked like a moldy grilled sausage, and it smelled strange as well. He waved his hand and covered his nose. “What’s this?! How can you eat this? Hurry up, take it away!”
Qiong Qi picked the thing up and looked at Mingshi Yin disdainfully before it walked to the side and continued chewing on it.
“Don’t f*cking waste my time in the future,” Mingshi Yin said contemptuously.
Qiong Qi ignored him and continued chewing.
Mingshi Yin sat cross-legged on the ground and began to cultivate. After the fusion at the Pillar of destruction, he could clearly feel his cultivation speed had increased by many times. Coupled with the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence, even if he did nothing now, his cultivation speed was still faster compared to the time cultivated diligently on the mountain.
“Everything about the Great Void Seed is amazing…”
Mingshi Yin manifested his lotus. He was about to place a beast king’s life heart into it when…
“Fourth Junior Brother…”
Mingshi Yin was startled. He hurriedly put his lotus away and turned to look at the source of the voice. “Uh… Second Senior Brother?”
“I didn’t mean to interrupt your cultivation,” Yu Shangrong said with a slight smile.
“No, no, it’s fine. I wonder why Second Senior Brother came to look for me.” Mingshi Yin said.
“Fourth Junior Brother, you gained the Pillar of Destruction’s recognition and fused with the Great Void energy there. I believe your cultivation must have improved tremendously. I wonder if we can spar…” Yu Shangrong replied honestly.
“Uh…” Mingshi Yin took a step back. “Second Senior Brother, you think too highly of me. Even if you give me 100 Great Void Seeds, I still won’t be a match for you. The difference in our strength is too great…”
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. “Then there’s more reason for you to hone your skills by sparring. I’ll see you tomorrow at this time. I won’t leave until I see you…”
With that, Yu Shangrong flew away like a swallow.
“Second Senior Brother!” Mingshi Yin called out before he sat down with a dumbfounded expression on his face. He muttered to himself, “What bad luck…”
‘If this continues, I’ll be tortured to death by Second Senior Brother. Even if I obtained the Pillar of Destruction’s recognition and fused with the Great Void energy in there, my cultivation won’t improve immediately.’
“It won’t be enough even if I’ve passed the first Birth Trial. I have to pass the second Birth Trial as soon as possible!”
“Birth Trial?” At this time, Yu Zhenghai walked out from behind a tree with his hands clasped on his back. He walked over on foot without utilizing any energy, shocking Mingshi Yin.
‘It’s over! Similar to Second Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother must want to use me as a practice tool! No, no, I have to strike first.’
Having learned from his mistake, Mingshi Yin spoke first. “Eldest Senior Brother, you’re late.”
“Hm? Late for what?”
“I’ve already agreed to spar with Second Senior Brother tomorrow,” Mingshi Yin said.
Yu Zhenghai frowned. “Is that so?”
“Why would I lie to you? It’s not like you don’t know what Second Senior Brother is like. I’m afraid after I spar with him, I’ll be bedridden…” Mingshi Yin said with a sigh, wearing an aggrieved expression on his face. When he saw Yu Zhenghai nodding his head, joy blossomed in his heart despite the aggrieved and pitiful expression on his face.
Yu Zhengpai patted Mingshi Yin’s shoulder and said, “How about this? I’ll spar with you this afternoon. I’ll teach you how to deal with the Guiyuan Sword Technique. With that, you won’t lose too badly tomorrow.”
“?”
“Alright, it’s settled then. Don’t worry, I’ll restrain my strength,” Yu Zhenghai said before he walked away with his hands on his back.
Mingshi Yin. “…”
…
Lu Zhou continued to endure the waves of Primal Qi surging in his Dantian’s sea of Qi. He could feel that the activation of his Birth Chart had reached a very critical stage. He quickly activated his Purple Glazed Ceramic to ward of any possible accidents.
Bang!
Lu Zhou grunted in pain again.
‘What’s going on? The wall has just been broken so why isn’t it stopping?’
The breaking of the wall of a sea of Qi had to be done step by step. Before the old wall broke, the new and bigger wall would form outside the old wall first. However, now, not only was his new wall unformed, but the energy kept trying to break the old wall down completely. This was tantamount to suicide.
“The Divine Soul Pearl is really dangerous!”
Lu Zhou’s mind was racing as he thought of ways to stabilize his condition..
