Lan Xihe continued, “Don’t tell anyone that Ye Tianxin has the Great Void Seed. I won’t let you off easily if you dare to speak nonsense.”

The blue-clad female attendant hurriedly fell to her knees. “I’m loyal to you, master. The sun and moon can bear witness to this. If I’m even the slightest bit disloyal, I’m willing to die a terrible death!”

Lan Xihe stepped forward and helped the female attendant up. “Of course, I believe you. You’ve been with me for so many years. Even your incarnation followed me to the White Tower Council to maintain the balance. If I can’t trust you, then I really don’t know who else I can trust.”

These words sounded a little sad. It was as though Lan Xihe had no one else she could trust despite being the vast Great Void.

The blue-clad female attendant said in an attempt to lighten the mood, “Master, Tower Master Ye can be trusted…”

Lan Xihe sighed. “But she doesn’t trust me… The only reason she agreed to stay in the White Tower Council and to become the Tower Master is only due to Pavilion Master Lu. I am such a failure…”

“No, there are many people who trust you…” the blue-clad female attendant said comfortingly.

“Forget about them. They’re all trying to benefit from me or take advantage of me,” Lan Xihe said.

The blue-clad female attendant nodded. “Master is right.”

Lan Xihe continued to say with a soft sigh, “Now that the Great Void Seed has appeared, the other eight seeds will most likely appear as well. The Great Void Seed can drastically change a cultivator’s physique and talent. If one’s talent is already high, it’s even better. Perhaps… the imbalance is heralding the chaos that is about to descend on the world…”

The blue-clad female attendant said reassuringly, “Master, don’t worry so much. In any case, I’ll protect Tower Master Ye. Even if I die, I’ll guard the White Tower Council for you.”

Lan Xihe and the blue-clad female attendant stood in the great hall and looked at the blue sky outside in silence.

…

In the southern training hall in the green lotus domain’s Qin clan.

Lu Zhou looked at the four life hearts in his Birth Palace incredulously.

Based on his current knowledge, this feat was almost impossible, and yet, he did it. This was indeed a fortuitous opportunity. It was akin to gathering all the risks and pains of activating four Birth Charts into one point.

After stabilizing his realm for 500 years, Lu Zhou’s Birth Palace had, in fact, reached an unprecedented level. Even if he could not activate four Birth Charts at once, it should not be difficult to activate two at once.

“500 years for this?” Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. After estimating the absorption of his lifespan, he increased the speed of the Pillar of Impermanence from 100 to 400 times faster.

He discovered the absorption speed of his life hearts was almost similar to his speed when he was in closed-door cultivation.

With the increase by 400 times and the simultaneous activation of four Birth Charts, Lu Zhou felt a slight plain. Fortunately, he had spent 500 years stabilizing his realm so the pain was bearable.

Then, he decided to use his divine power to numb the pain as well.

“Avatar.”

He brought out the blue avatar. It was now pure blue. The Concealment Card had long lost its effect during the years he spent in closed-door cultivation.

“So much energy?” He did not expect the energy in the blue avatar to be so abundant. He did not spend much time cultivating it, after all. Apart from killing his enemies with his divine power, he found the golden lotus was much more useful to him.

However, its growth was not too surprising. After all, comprehending and meditating on the Heavenly Writing also helped its growth.

Seeing its abundant energy, Lu Zhou decided to see if he could break through. With that, he pushed his palm down, causing the vitality energy in his Dantian’s sea of Qi to stir.

A blue ring of light appeared at the waist of the blue avatar and began to fall. However, its descent was not smooth. In fact, it looked like it was struggling to descend. It was not as easy as the golden avatar

“It seems like it’s quite difficult to break through with the blue avatar…”

‘It’s easier to break through using my lifespan. However, sprouting one leaf requires 10,000 years of life. Is the system trying to kill me?’

If he was patient, breaking through by meditating on the Heavenly Writing was a good choice. However, it took too long.

The blue circle of light looked as though it was being stopped by an invisible force from descending. It even brought about a pressure in his Dantian’s sea of Qi and will.

Breaking through with the golden avatar brought about pain, but with the blue avatar, it was sort of like a mental torture.

‘Very good. So they both bring about physical and mental torture!’

Lu Zhou thought he was a little reckless and impulsive. He should have waited for the completion of his four Birth Charts before he attempted to upgrade his blue avatar. However, now that he had started, he could not stop. He could only grit his teeth and continue.

“I don’t believe I can’t do this!”

Lu Zhou pressed his hand down, shrinking the blue avatar and enlarging the blue circle of light.

A bubbling noise began to ring loudly; it sounded like the sound of boiling water.

Beads of sweat appeared on Lu Zhou’s forehead. It was as though he was being pressured by an extreme weight. Even his spirit and will were under pressure.

As a transmigrator, he suddenly recalled the golden hoop that the Monkey King wore that restrained him. He felt as though the blur circle ring was trying to restrain him.

‘I’m not a monkey! You can’t restrain me!’

Lu Zhou pressed his hand down again.

A golden palm seal fell on the blue ring around the blue avatar.

Bang!

Like a pool of clear water, the blue ring of light finally fell.

Lu Zhou felt a mysterious force rushing toward him before he was sent flying back.

Bang!

Lu Zhou’s back crashed against the inscriptions for the formations in the training hall. They lit up and wrapped around him like a spider web.

At the same time, the blue avatar spun rapidly as divine power surged out from it.

Lu Zhou suppressed his surging blood and qi before he flew forward and pressed the ring of light down again.

‘It’s so difficult?’

After stabilizing his cultivation base for 500 years, it was still so difficult to upgrade the blue avatar using the conventional method. How much more difficult would it be if he did not stabilize his cultivation base for such a long time?

The golden and blue light shone brilliantly, one on the left and one on the right.

At this time, Lu Zhou saw the light from the Four Lives On the Same Branch fused with the blue ring of light.

“???”

Lu Zhou landed on the small cushion and inhaled deeply before he studied the puzzling scene before him. This was beyond his understanding, and he believed it was beyond the understanding of everyone in the current cultivation world. No one had ever cultivated two avatars after all. When he had first manifested the blue avatars, he had looked through the ancient books. He did not find anything about anyone cultivating two avatars. In other words, it was likely that since ancient times, he was the first person to cultivate two avatars.

He endured the oppressive pressure and looked at the energy and light that complemented each other, feeling rather happy. Beautiful things tend to make people happy after all. The merging of the light was a rather dazzling sight.

Alas, beautiful things were mostly short-lived.

At this time, the Four Lives On the Same Branch suddenly stopped.

Clack!

Then, the Birth Chart positions lit up one after another. The light was like an electric arc as it spread to the blue ring of light. The blue ring of light flashed faintly with a golden light a few times before it suddenly dropped.

Clack!

At the same time, the four positions in the Birth Palace were flat and smooth. This meant that the four Birth Charts had been activated.

The pain in Lu Zhou’s Dantian’s sea of Qi vanished as well. Instead, a warm surge of energy filled his sea of Qi, making him feel a sense of unprecedented comfort.

At this moment, the sixth leaf sprouted from the blue avatar’s lotus.
