My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 892 - A Privilege From The Heavenly Writing



Before using this Birth Chart Heart, Lu Zhou had a feeling that it was more suitable to be placed in the position of the earth-grade fire-attribute Birth Charts that he saw on the piece of cloth, the Birth Chart map. Putting in the zone of human-grade Birth Charts was obviously an overkill. If he could not withstand this, it would backfire on him without a doubt.

Lu Zhou endured the restless fire and heat in his body as he tried his best to calm his surging blood qi and energy. As long as he could ride through this wave of fire, he would be able to successfully activate his Birth Chart.

How ironic was it that he was being burned by his own karmic fire?!

The burning sensation grew more painful.

Buzz!

Lu Zhou's forehead was drenched in sweat as he manifested his avatar to prevent the karmic fire from burning the building down.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly as he looked at the flames on the shoulders of his avatar. The flames looked abnormally bright and dazzling.

He tried his best to control the flames on his dharma body to not burn the building. He only needed to wrap the dharma body.

"Extraordinary power." He used the extraordinary power he had painstakingly saved.

The extraordinary power appeared and shrouded his avatar, and he felt like he was being submerged in cool water. It extinguished the flames of the karmic fire in just a blink of an eye.

Lu Zhou looked at the Birth Palace in the center of his lotus seat. It seemed like it was about to stop spinning. Apart from that, there was no movement in the Birth Chart zone; its distinct edges showed no sign of lighting up.

"Am I going to fail?"

"..."

Lu Zhou waited for a moment. There was still no change that indicated he had successfully activated a Birth Chart.

"Failure is the mother of success." Lu Zhou sighed as he shook his head. One could learn from one's mistakes.

Lu Zhou was about to withdraw his avatar when…

Swoosh!

The flames on the lotus seat reignited with a vengeance.

'Hmm?' He looked at the place in the Birth Palace where he had placed the scarlet pheasant's life heart and saw that the flames had reignited there as well.

"Thankfully, I didn't use too much of my extraordinary power earlier." Lu Zhou was overwhelmed with relief.

He continued to maintain his avatar.

This time, the burning sensation had disappeared. The side effects brought by the overflow of energy were also gone. The process of activating this Birth Chart was now similar to the first two times he activated his Birth Charts.

Lu Zhou sighed in relief. He was incredibly lucky he managed to successfully activate his Birth Chart this time. The slightest mistake would have rendered the life heart useless.

Out of caution, Lu Zhou paid attention to the activation of the Birth Chart for a while. After confirming he was on the right track, he closed his eyes to meditate on the Heavenly Writing.

Early the next morning.

Lu Zhou opened his eyes and looked at the Birth Palace in the center of the lotus seat. It was still burning, and the life heart was still absorbing vitality energy.

"Why is it taking so long?"

The activation of the Birth Chart this time far exceeded the previous two times.

He gauged his extraordinary power and determined he needed another two days to fully replenish it. Therefore, he used the Purple Glazed Ceramic and continued to meditate on the Heavenly Writing.

The scripts from the Heavenly Writing appeared in his mind. With the help of the Purple Glazed Ceramic, the scripts from the Heavenly Writing appeared at a much faster rate than before.

The feeling of immersing himself in meditation was incredibly comfortable. It was like meeting again after a long separation.

Two days passed in just a blink of an eye.

It was quiet inside and outside of the Literary Star Hall.

...

Si Wuya had gone to look for his master. However, when he received no response, he did not dare to enter without permission. Fortunately, his master trusted him so he made his own decisions one after another.

When he returned to the Sacred Rites Hall, he saw Li Yunzheng with dark circles around his eyes waiting for him with an ingratiating expression on his face.

"T-teacher… I finally understood this question. Can you give me another month?" Li Yunzheg said with an embarrassed expression on his face as he held a few pieces of paper up.

During this time, he had been studying the riddles that Si Wuya had given him. Up until now, he only managed to understand some of it, let alone solve them.

Si Wuya returned to the table. He glanced at Li Yunzheng and said, "There's no need for that. You can't solve this question."

"Why? Oh, I understand. Is this an unsolvable riddle?" Li Yunzheng asked.

"There is a solution. What I mean is that with your ability, you can't solve it," Si Wuya said.

"Uhhh..."

During this time, Li Yunzheng's confidence had been completely destroyed. He, who claimed to be well-read, was beaten up in almost every aspect in front of Si Wuya.

In the past, Si Wuya had been a Grand Tutor in the Imperial Court, after all. Apart from that, he was also much older than Li Yunzheng. Therefore, his knowledge and experience were not something Li Yunzheng could hope to match.

Si Wuya asked, "In your opinion, if you want to take back your authority, where do you have to start?"

"I'll, naturally, start with the civil and military officials... As long as there's no objection from them, I'd be able to sit firmly on my throne," Li Yunzheng replied.

"Think about it again." Si Wuya picked a brush up. He clearly did not think much of Li Yunzheng's answer.

"Am I wrong? Teacher, the four Grand Dukes have been persuaded by grandmaster's strength that's in the Mystic Sky realm. With grandmaster on my side, they'll definitely stand on my side as well. With the support from the four Grand Dukes, we only need to convince the civil and military officials by giving them a little benefit..." Li Yunzheng said.

"Think again." Si Wuya shook his head.

"..." Li Yunzheng scratched his head. No matter how much he thought about it, he could not think of a better method. After an hour, he finally gave up. He bowed before he said, "Teacher, please enlighten me."

Si Wuya put the brush down before he said, "Xia Housheng leads the royal guards, the main force that controls the capital."

Li Yun Zheng asked, "I don't know where Xiahou Sheng is hiding. There's no news of him in the capital. With grandmaster around, he probably wouldn't dare to come out of hiding, right?"

Ever since Yu Chenshu died, Xia Housheng had not been seen.

"Nothing is absolute in the world." Si Wuya rose to his feet and placed his hands on his back before he said, "Xiahou Sheng has 100,000 royal guards under his control... You must never forget that..."

"Teacher, please enlighten me," Li Yunzheng said.

"The weak have no right to speak," Si Wuya said slowly, "You're the ruler of a country so you should understand this the most."

Li Yunzheng nodded.

Si Wuya continued to say, "You must make the eight Great Generals of the Ten Path submit."

Li Yunzheng said hesitantly, "They're all heroes who protect the people and the country, and if I..."

"As a ruler, you should never be indecisive. You're still young so I can make decisions for you. You will understand in a few years. If you're not willing to let me make this decision for you, you can leave now... Our relationship as teacher and student will end here."

Si Wuya's almost ruthless way of doing things stunned Li Yunzheng. He found it hard to accept.

Si Wuya knew he had to be ruthless.

Si Wuya also knew that he had to be ruthless. However, when he recalled Li Yunzheng's young age, he sighed. He knew he could not press Li Yunzheng too hard as well.

Si Wuya had seen the rise and fall of the Imperial court in the golden lotus domain. He had seen siblings killing each other and the fall of the Imperial family.

Si Wuya looked outside the window and asked, "Jiang Aijian, the person who came with me, do you know his true identity?"

Li Yunzheng shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Si Wuya said, "He's the Third Prince of Great Yan's Imperial family, Liu Chen. At that time, many people thought he would surely be the successor of the throne. Not only was he the most promising prince in the history of Great Yan, but he was also the most favored prince. Alas, a fire in his palace burned thousands of people to death. At that time, the Imperial army, the Black Knights, the Great Generals of the nine provinces, not a single person stood on his side." His voice lowered as he continued to say, "Without sufficient strength, even those closest to you might betray you or not take your side. The blood that flows down the dagger that is stabbed into your heart might be black. Do you understand?"

Then, Si Wuya said in a grave tone, "Remember this; those generals are not 'your' generals." He emphasized heavily on the word 'your'.

Li Yunzheng trembled.

Si Wuya continued to say, "In a few days, I will discuss the matter of entering the palace with your grandmaster. You should return for now and think about this."

"I will take my leave then." Si Wuya's simple words have stirred up chaos in Li Yunzheng's mind. 

Meanwhile, in the Literary Star Hall.

"Ding! You've meditated on the Earth Scroll 300 times. Obtained: a privilege from the Heavenly Writing."

"With this privilege, you can upgrade the extraordinary power to the supreme mystic power."

Lu Zhou opened his eyes after receiving these system notifications.

After three days, he felt as though he had fallen asleep and had suddenly woken up from a dream.

At this moment…

"Ding! Worshipped by 15,500 people. Reward: 15,500 merit points received."

"Ding! Worshiped by 8,750 people. Reward: 0 merit points."
