Chapter 1282: One Turns to Three, Sprouting a Leaf, and Passing the Birth Trial

Lu Zhou could feel the waves of energy crashing against the wall in his sea of Qi. Moreover, it felt as though the wall would break soon.
He hurriedly pushed his hand out, doubling the speed of the Pillar of Impermanence. From being 15 times faster, it was now 30 times faster.
With the help from the Purple Glazed Ceramic, the recovery speed of his divine power increased a little. Unfortunately, it was still insufficient, unable to keep up with the absorption rate. It would not be too bad if he only had to maintain the wall in his sea of Qi. The problem was the impact of the Divine Soul Pearl was too strong.
“Let’s speed it up.” Lu Zhou smacked his hand on the ground.
The Pillar of Impermanence that was hidden underground enlarged as its speed increased 100 times.
“It’s still not enough…” Lu Zhou frowned. The divine power could barely keep up with his sea of Qi’s absorption rate. At this moment, he suddenly remembered he had two avatars.
Since he had been in the Thousand Realm Whirling stage for so long, sometimes he would forget the blue avatar. It had gotten better after the blue avatar evolved into a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.
“Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar.”
He manifested his blue avatar. It was still under the effect of the Concealment Card. Then, he used his blue avatar to maintain the wall of the sea of Qi. Fortunately, the blue Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar was just enough to balance the absorption rate. With that, the wall slowly stabilized. Tranquility returned to his sea of Qi as well.
Lu Zhou looked at his Birth Palace. Previously, there was a ball of light, which looked like a golden egg, at the place where he had embedded the Divine Soul Pearl. However, now, there were two balls of light.
“Two?” Lu Zhou was puzzled. There was no reason for another ball of light to appear. He closed his eyes and tried to sense the inside of his Birth Palace. There seemed to be two objects under the surface of his Birth Palace. Moreover, the two balls of light were brimming with energy.
Everything that had happened since he embedded the Divine Soul Pearl into his Birth Palace was beyond his understanding. He was quite familiar with the process of activating Birth Charts, but what he was experiencing now was new to him.
“…”
‘Forget it. I can only take it one step at a time.’
…
The increase in speed of the Pillar of Impermanence by 100 times made the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion both excited and anxious. They were excited because the increase in speed meant they could quickly improve their cultivation. On the other hand, they were anxious because improving too quickly could cause their foundations to become unstable. Moreover, they were also losing their lifespan faster. Trading lifespan for cultivation was like drinking poison to quench one’s thirst.
…
Three days later.
In the forest.
After a round of sparring, Mingshi Yin sat on the ground with a swollen face. His old and new injuries made him look incredibly miserable.
After Yu Shangrong sheathed his sword, he smiled. “You’ve improved tremendously compared to before. However, you still need to work hard.”
Mingshi Yin said with an aggrieved expression on his face, “Thank you… for your guidance, Second Senior Brother.”
“Courage comes from failures. With the recognition from the Pillar of Destruction, I believe you will soon catch up to me,” Yu Shangrong said.
“Second Senior Brother, you seem much stronger than when we were in Great Tang’s capital,” Mingshi Yin said.
“Is that so?” Yu Shangrong did not feel much when he heard these words.
“It’s true,” Mingshi Yin said, “I’ve fused with the Great Void Seed so my progress isn’t slow at all.”
In fact, both of their cultivation speeds were increasing.
Yu Shangrong smiled faintly, “Perhaps, it has something to do with the new cultivation path.”
“The new cultivation path?”
“Ever since I severed my lotus, my cultivation path has been filled with obstacles. After coming to the Unknown Land, the path has become smoother. Moreover, the feeling of an impending breakthrough is getting more and more intense recently,” Yu Shangrong said.
Mingshi Yin bowed. “Then, I’ll congratulate you in advance, Second Senior Brother.”
Yu Shangrong looked at Mingshi Yin with a look of approval as he said, “Your talent is extraordinary. Now that you’ve received the recognition from the Pillar of Destruction, you must not waste this good opportunity.”
“Yes, I’ll remember Second Senior Brother’s words,” Mingshi Yin said.
Yu Shangrong nodded. Then, he flew away as gracefully as a swan.
After Yu Shangrong disappeared from sight, Mingshi Yin shook his head helplessly. After checking his surroundings, he muttered under his breath, “Those two freaks…”
…
One month later.
Under the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence, a month outside was equivalent to 100 months in the range of the pillar.
At this time, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion had grown even more anxious. After all, they had lost almost ten years of life. Even if they progressed tremendously, they still did not feel at ease.
…
At the same time, Lu Zhou also felt anxious and uneasy.
He had thought it would be easy to activate his 12th Birth Chart using the Divine Soul Pearl. Alas, not only was it not easy, but it was very difficult. Moreover, this was with the help of the Purple Glazed Ceramic and the Pillar of Impermanence. If he were to cultivate normally, it would likely take him ten years. As expected of the Divine Soul Pearl that was the result of all of Tian Wu’s life hearts fusing together.
At this time, three waves of energy surged back and forth in his Dantian’s sea of Qi.
As for his Birth Palace, there were now three orbs of light shining faintly. He still could not figure out the reason for this.
“Is it time?” Lu Zhou felt like the three waves of energy were about to break the wall of his sea of Qi at any time now. The stalemate was finally about to come to an end. His instinct told him that period of time was a golden opportunity.
“Without destruction, there can be no construction.” Lu Zhou smacked his hand on the ground. A small surge of divine energy from the blue Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar and his remaining divine energy gathered at once.
The Pillar of Impermanence’s speed increased from 100 times to 5,000 times in an instant.
Swoosh!
A faint vortex appeared within a radius of 1,000 meters.
…
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were shocked when they sensed the tremendous change.
…
After Lu Zhou withdrew his divine power from his Dantian’s sea of Qi, the three waves of energy grew even stronger.
Bang!
The wall of his sea of Qi finally broke.
Following that, Lu Zhou saw a magical scene.
The areas the three light orbs hovered above were finally revealed. Under the first light orb was a distinct circular Birth Chart zone in the location, the Pearl Goes Out to Sea. The second orb seemed unstable as it darted around before rushing toward the edge of the lotus seat.
Bang!
At this moment, a leaf sprouted from the edge of the lotus seat where the second orb of light hit.
“I sprouted the eleventh leaf?” At this time, Lu Zhou recalled what Lan Xihe had said. At that time, she said there was a mistake with her cultivation. She should have sprouted her eleventh leaf after her 12th Birth Chart, not the 13th Birth Chart.
This meant that the circular zone under the first light orb was his 12 Birth Chart. Then, what about his second Birth Trial?
At this time, the third light orb formed a circular zone as well. It was fixed at the position that was called the Radiant Sun and Moon.
“…”
What an apt name considering the two light orbs that shone like the sun and the moon.
With this, his Birth Palace stabilized, and his sea of Qi gained a new wall. The restless Primal Qi and energy calmed down as well.
“Eleven leaves and 13 Birth Charts?” Lu Zhou was surprised. He improved so much with just the Divine Soul Pearl. This was beyond his expectations. Although the process was difficult, the rewards were proportionate.
Buzz!
The lotus began to spin at this moment.
“Hm?” When Lu Zhou regained his senses, he discovered the vitality energy in his surroundings was raging. The Pillar of Impermanence’s speed was too fast. He hurriedly retracted his hand and shouted, “Withdraw.”
Bang!
The Pillar of Impermanence flew back into his hand, but energy was still overflowing from his lotus.
As he looked at his lotus that would not stop spinning, he said, “Release.”
With that, the lotus grew 1,000 times bigger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The surrounding towering trees were cut by the spinning golden lotus.
At this time, while the golden lotus was spinning, the two circular zones suddenly unleashed a wave of tsunami-like energy each.
Boom!
The water vapor in the air turned into ice immediately as frost covered the ground.
Following that, water lotuses that looked like snowflakes flew out in all directions. They shot past thousands of trees, cutting them in halves.
Lu Zhou. “…”
It seemed like the Divine Soul Pearl helped him directly pass the second Birth Trial. This was his second Birth Trial ability, the Water Lotus Storm.
…
Meanwhile, the members of the Evil Sky Pavilion brought out their astrolabes to block the water lotuses.
