Chapter 1165: The Supreme Mystic Card Again

Home was a heavy topic for Conch. From the time she could remember, she was the wild child in the seaside village whom everyone shouted at and hit. She wore tattered clothes, ate the fruits that grew in the forest, and used the sky as her quilt and the earth as her bed. She never had a home until she met her master, and he brought her back to the Evil Sky Pavilion.

In the Evil Sky Pavilion, she received the best care. No one bullied her, she did not have to hide, or wander aimlessly. To her, the Evil Sky Pavilion was home. Even after she met her mother, Luo Xuan, who raised her and learned that she came from the Unknown Land, Conch did not feel like the Unknown Land was her home. Home was a haven; a place she could return to. As the saying went, ‘Home is where the heart is’. The Evil Sky Pavilion was her home.

Conch finally replied, “The Evil Sky Pavilion is my home…”

“Alright.” Ye Tianxin moved closer to Conch and patted Conch’s head.

…

Two days passed in just a blink of an eye.

In the cave.

Lu Zhou stared at the life heart in his Birth Place, waiting for it to be embedded completely.

After two days, he had grown mostly numb to the pain.

Fortunately, this was his third Birth Chart after passing his first Birth Trial. Otherwise, it would be incredibly difficult for him to endure such pain.

When the life heart finally sank into the Birth Palace, Lu Zhou felt as though his entire being was being

When the heart of the life matrix sank into the Life Palace, Lu Zhou suddenly felt as if his entire body had been disassembled. He silently recited the mantra of the Heavenly Writing. The supreme mystic power surged through his body, causing him to glow like the blue of the sky. Soon enough, a cooling sensation spread in his body, dispelling some of the pain.

Lu Zhou saw the life heart flashing at this moment and quickly waved his hand.

“Withdraw!”

The life heart flew out from the Birth Palace immediately. Following that, the spot where the life heart left looked as though it had been filled with water. Then, energy began to surge into it before a vortex formed, absorbing Lu Zhou’s lifespan.

Lu Zhou calmed down; he had finally entered the second stage. He looked at his decreasing lifespan the system panel after that.

Being able to activate this Birth Chart using Lu Wu’s life heart was worth losing 1,500 years. In fact, adding the 500 years he would gain from activating this Birth Chart, it only cost him 1,000 years. After using the Green Cicada Jade previously, his lifespan had reached over 8,000 years, which was more than enough to activate this Birth Chart.

After putting Lu Wu’s life heart away, Lu Zhou closed his eyes and meditated on the Heavenly Writing. All he had to do now was wait.

…

Meanwhile, in a hidden area surrounded by three mountains.

Lu Wu lay on the ground lazily. It raised its head and surveyed its surroundings, bored. Usually, at this time, it would go out and find some weak fierce beasts to eat, but now, he could only stay in the mountains. After all, he had to be cautious.

Whoosh!

Duanmu Sheng suddenly sat up at this moment. His mind was buzzing, and he looked around blankly, not knowing what was going on.

“You’re awake?” Lu Wu asked.

Duanmu Sheng shuddered. He stomped on the ground and flipped in the air. He instinctively grabbed the Overlord Spear that was next to him as well. He hovered in the air and said, “It’s you again?!”

Lu Wu said, “You’ve been… possessed… Your master… came… You… stay here… from now on…”

“Master?” Duanmu Sheng furrowed his brows in confusion.

Lu Wu recounted everything that happened on the island in the center of the lake. Since Lu Wu’s speech was stilted and rather vague, Duanmu Sheng had to ask it to repeat itself multiple times. In the end, it took an hour for Lu Wu to finish recounting everything.

After learning the ins and outs of the matter, Duanmu Sheng stabbed the Overlord Spear into the ground and asked, “Where’s my master?”

“That Old Thief? I don’t… know. He took… my… life heart… and promised to… return…”

“Old Thief?” Duanmu Sheng grabbed the Overlord Spear and pointed it at Lu Wu. “Lu Wu, I’m warning you. If you insult my master again, we will be irreconcilable enemies!”

Huff!

Lu Wu exhaled its essence Qi.

A fierce wind swept out and forced Duanmu Sheng back a few steps.

Lu Wu’s eyes widened as it said, “Young Master… do you know… how… miserable… he made… me?”

“It doesn’t matter!”

“You.. can’t differentiate… right… wrong…” Lu Wu said disappointedly.

Duanmu Sheng stabbed the Overlord Spear into the ground again and said, “Since you treat me as your Young Master, you should listen to me! You’re not allowed to insult my master!”

Lu Wu was not bothered by Duanmu Sheng’s words. It repeated these words over and over again. “Old Thief… Old Thief… Old Thief…” Lu Wu

Duanmu Sheng was angry and helpless. He was no match for Lu Wu, after all. Since Lu Wu did not listen to him, there was nothing else he could do. He turned around and flew toward one of the mountain peaks.

Lu Wu said, “You respect your master… I will continue to hold a grudge… Don’t persuade me… to be kind… without knowing… my affairs…”

Duanmu Sheng, who had never been eloquent, could only look at Lu Wu speechlessly. He sighed inwardly. ‘I can’t even win against a beast…’

However, Duanmu Sheng could not deny that Lu Wu had a point.

Seeing that Duanmu Sheng was in a better state, Lu Wu recalled the spear technique Lu Zhou had demonstrated. After mulling over it for a while, it shook its head. How could he teach the spear technique to Duanmu Sheng?

Boom!

Lu Wu smacked its huge paw on the ground. It was really angry!

“???”

Duanmu Sheng turned around and took a look. “What’s wrong with you now?”

“None of your business.” Lu Wu could tell Duanmu Sheng was a little foolish and too loyal. In order to maintain its relationship with its Young Master, he could not talk too much about its grudge against Lu Tiantong. Moreover, the two were separate matters.

…

Another two days passed.

Lu Zhou saw that the area of the Great Birth Chart was already half-filled.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and continue to meditate on the Heavenly Writing…

“Ding! Your disciple, Yu Shangrong, has successfully sprouted the eleventh leaf and opened a new path of cultivation. Reward: 10,000 merit points.”

“Ding! Yu Shangrong has met the requirements to complete his apprenticeship. Will you allow him to complete his apprenticeship?”

“Hmm?” Lu Zhou was slightly surprised and confused.

Yu Shangrong had sprouted the eleventh leaf a while ago, but there were no notifications from the system. Why did the notification only come at this time?

However, Yu Shangrong was a different case, after all. Normally, once his disciples, like Yu Zhenghai and Mingshi Yin, had successfully formed their Thousand Realms Whirling avatars, he would immediately receive the notifications from the system.

With this thought in mind, he wondered what it would be like for Duanmu Sheng? Based on Duanmu Sheng’s attacks on the island, his strength was comparable to a One or Two Chart Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator. This was the explosive power he gained from the corrosive energy and Lu Wu’s essence Qi. When would Duanmu Sheng, who was now possessed, had no eleventh leaf or Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, and was without an avatar, meet the requirements to complete his apprenticeship?

‘Forget it. There’s no point dwelling on it. When the time comes, there’ll naturally be a solution…’

“Complete apprenticeship.”

“Ding! Your disciple, Yu Shangrong, has successfully completed his apprenticeship.”

“Ding! You’re rewarded with a random card. When you use this card, a rare item will be randomly awarded to you.”

“Ding! After Yu Shangrong completes his apprenticeship, he can establish a sect and accept disciples. Maximum number of disciples: 3.”

“Ding! You will no longer receive merit points for teaching Yu Shangrong.”

Lu Zhou waved his hand, and a card appeared in his hand.

“Ding! Obtained Supreme Mystic Card x1, Reversal Card x100.”

Although Lu Zhou knew he would obtain a rare card, his heart still raced in his chest when he saw the Supreme Mystic Card. After all, he had seen the effects of the card.
