My disciples are all villains.

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction as he carefully studied his divine soul pearl and sensed the faint energy it emitted. The energy from the luminous pearl was calm and gentle. He could also sense the Birth Chart powers in it.

‘What are the Birth Charts powers like now that I’ve formed my divine soul pearl? Let’s try it out,’ Lu Zhou thought to himself before flashing away.

The night sky in Fragrant Valley was quiet, and the view was not very good. Lu Zhou appeared in an empty forest before he brought out the divine soul pearl and chanted the mantra for Flaming Golden Lotus.

The divine soul pearl buzzed as it hovered in the air. Then, it began to spin.

With the divine soul pearl in the center, flaming lotuses shot out in all directions. Like fireworks, they looked dazzling.

Lu Zhou was momentarily captivated by this display. The flaming lotuses were even more beautiful than before. Perhaps, due to his momentary distraction, in just a blink of an eye, the fire had already spread 100 meters in all directions.

“This is bad.”

If the commotion is too big, it would easily attract attention. They were in Fragrant Valley and could not go too far away.

Lu Zhou quickly cast the Water Lotus Storm, his second Birth Trial ability. The contradicting ability quickly extinguished the fire in the forest.

Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction as he put the divine soul pearl away.

“Not only does it not affect the Birth Trial abilities, but it even boosts them…”

Lu Zhou turned around and returned to the ancient building in a flash.

Then, he brought out his divine soul pearl again. He was very satisfied with the result. The next step was not to activate his 25th Birth Chart, but to sprout his 12th leaf.

‘My limit now is only 26 Birth Charts. I can only place my hope on the 12th leaf now,’ Lu Zhou thought to himself.

With just a thought, the divine soul pearl floated in front of him.

Buzz!

The lotus appeared, and the divine soul pearl landed in the center of the circular area on the lotus seat. With that, the Birth Palace appeared. 36 triangles flashed briefly in the Birth Palace.

At this time, he finally saw the Birth Palace had expanded.

“It expanded!” Lu Zhou was overjoyed.

“Truly, the divine soul pearl has many benefits!’

If there were any disadvantages, there was only one: the lack of ability to withstand fatal attacks. If he met with an overwhelmingly powerful opponent, his opponent might be able to shatter his divine soul pearl with one strike. Although the Birth Charts could not compare to the divine soul pearl, they could cancel out a fatal attack and give him the opportunity to escape.

Other cultivators with divine soul pearls had life-saving methods such as puppets, beast physique techniques, and so on. If one combined these few things, it would naturally be better.

Everything aside, Lu Zhou had long been troubled by his Birth Chart limit for a while now. He did not expect the matter would be solved when he formed his divine soul pearl. His mood improved immediately.

At this moment, a voice rang from outside.

“Greetings, master.” “Who is it?”

“Mingshi Yin.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Master, there were some movements in the dense forest near the eastern mountain earlier. I ran over to have a look. I don’t know which bast*rd sneakily set the forest there on fire! That bast*rd cultivation isn’t low since he came without being noticed. I suspect there are intruders in Fragrant Valley so I came to report this matter,” Mingshi Yin said.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. He did not say anything “Master? Are you there?” Lu Zhou asked in a solemn tone, “Are you talking about me?” “Huh?”

Although it was just a ‘huh’, one could hear the panic in it.

Mingshi Yin’s voice sounded unnatural and aggrieved as he said with a sad face, “I will punish myself and reflect on my mistake. I’ll take my leave now…”

If Lu Zhou’s limit did not rise, he might have punished his fourth disciple. Moreover, it was just a little ignorance on Mingshi Yin’s part. It was a good thing that Mingshi Yin was so cautious and reliable. Hence, he said, “Go and cultivate.”

Mingshi Yin sighed in relief before he said happily, “Yes! I’ll take my leave now!”

Mingshi Yin rode on Qiong Qi and disappeared into the night.
