Chapter 855: The First Golden Birth Chart
Lu Zhou sighed when he saw the eager expression on Li Yunzheng's face. Then, he said, "I'll look at the ancient books you mentioned earlier when I have the time…"
Li Yunzheng nodded.
Lu Zhou continued to say, "What you mentioned about the Birth Charts has some inaccuracies. For example, the number of Birth Charts a cultivator can activate is at most around 12 isn't accurate."
"Really?" Li Yunzheng exclaimed in surprise. He was like a child who was fascinated by listening to mythical and legendary stories. He was always excited about obtaining new knowledge.
"I'm not certain exactly how many Birth Charts one can activate, but I'm certain it's more than twelve," Lu Zhou said as he stroked his beard, "The Birth Palace should refer to the center of the lotus, and Birth Charts are in the Birth Palace. The positions of the Birth Charts also most likely have rules of their own. Each Birth Chart will grant a cultivator with a different ability."
Lu Zhou continued to say, "For example, defensive Birth Charts will greatly boost one's defenses, and offensive Birth Charts will greatly boost one's offenses. All Birth Charts are likely this way. Do you understand?."
In the past, Li Yunzheng could only read books to gain knowledge. Moreover, he had to rely on himself, fumbling to understand the knowledge he obtained. Now that he had the guidance of a great master, he, naturally, did not doubt Lu Zhou's words. He nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. Granddisciple still has one more question to ask..."
"Speak." Although Lu Zhou possessed 1,000 years of experience from Ji Tiandao's memories, it was inevitable that there were things he did not know. He really did not know much about Birth Charts. What he knew now was based on his experience and some of Li Yunzheng's knowledge.
"Grandmaster, are you capable of defeating Yu Chenshu?" Li Yunzheng asked curiously as he looked at Lu Zhou with wide and bright eyes.
This reminded Lu Zhou of the inexperienced little, Little Yuan'er, in the past. However, as time passed, she was no longer the little girl she used to be.
However, the emperor was still innocent and child-like.
Lu Zhou answered honestly, "I've already killed him…"
"..." Li Yunzheng was shocked. Then, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face as he thought to himself, 'I understand if you care about your reputation and pride, and it's understandable if you want to brag occasionally…'
"You don't believe me?"
Li Yunzheng shook his head and hurriedly said, "No, no, I believe you!"
The duo continued chatting harmoniously when Nie Qingyun's voice rang from outside the room. "Senior Lu, I found some ancient books about Birth Charts."
"Come in."
After entering the room, Nie Qingyun placed a few ancient books in front of Lu Zhou before he respectfully said, "I asked my disciple to search through the library, and these are the only books they found. It was not easy to find them."
"Very good." Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
Li Yunzheng glanced at the ancient books a few times before he said, "Grandmaster, I've said this earlier. Half of the information about Birth Charts is nonsense. Like you said, even the number of Birth Charts one can activate is inaccurate. Perhaps, there are only one or two things that are accurate..."
"Are you done?" Lu Zhou stared at Li Yunzheng expressionlessly.
Lu Zhou stared at Li Yunzheng without blinking.
"..." Li Yunzheng smiled sheepishly with an awkward expression on his face. He just realized he had been showing off in front of an expert.
Finally, Lu Zhou said, "If there's nothing else, you may both leave."
"Yes."
Nie Qingyun and Li Yunzheng left the room together.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou looked at the stack of ancient books in front of him. He, naturally, wanted to read these books. One could not be careless in regard to cultivation. Moreover, Li Yunzheng was still young; there might be some mistakes even if he was well-read.
In the end, Lu Zhou spent an hour reading two of the ancient books.
Compared to what he knew and what Li Yunzheng had told him, the information about Birth Chart in the books seemed more comprehensive.
Lu Zhou muttered to himself, "The orders of Birth Charts aren't fixed. It's best to choose the position, or the Birth Disk, based on the life heart's attributes. Birth Charts are divided into three categories: heaven, earth, and human. One can embed a life heart into the Star Aligns the Pen and Sword position..."
"For example, it's best to embed a life heart with offensive attributes in the position of the Seven Killing Techniques in the Birth Palace."
The books contained six positions, or Birth Disks, in the Birth Palace, and the types of life hearts that were suitable to be embedded into these six positions.
Indeed, the information was very limited.
Lu Zhou brought the piece of cloth that was given to him by Lu Li and found the six Birth Disks mentioned in the books were indeed on the piece of cloth.
Lu Zhou wondered out loud, "Does this mean the 36 points in this pattern represent the complete positions in the Birth Palace?"
In any case, Lu Zhou confirmed that the life heart of a Birth Chart Beast was also called the Birth Chart Heart. He also confirmed that the Birth Chart Hearts were to be embedded into the Birth Disks in the Birth Palace. If it was embedded in an unsuitable Birth Disk, one would not be able to obtain the life heart's attributes.
Lu Zhou put the books down and studied the Birth Chart map in front of him. Then, he flipped his hand.
Buzz!
The Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar appeared in front of Lu Zhou. He increased the size of the avatar as much as he could. Then, he moved the avatar until the lotus was in front of him. He looked at the center of the lotus that was like a round table surrounded by ten golden leaves. At this moment, the center of the lotus, or the lotus seat, was completely empty.
Lu Zhou frowned as a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. If the Birth Palace and the Birth Disks were in the lotus seat, what would Yu Shangrong do in the future?
"..."
Lu Zhou felt as though he had harmed his own disciple.
Even if Yu Shangrong made his own decision to sever his lotus and had nothing to do with Lu Zhou, what about Zhu Honggong, Zhao Yue, Duanmu Sheng, and the four elders? It… It was his idea that led them to sever their lotuses!
There were probably no cultivators who severed their lotuses in other places except for the golden lotus domain…
Lu Zhou shook his head and cast away the unpleasant thoughts in his mind. His eyes fell on the lotus seat again.
After making sure his avatar was facing forward and the Birth Palace was in place, Lu Zhou looked at the Birth Chart map and compared it to the lotus seat. He muttered to himself, "The Star Aligns the Pen and Sword is here…"
Then, he brought the Yong's life heart out. He inhaled deeply before he pushed the life heart onto the lotus seat. It fell on the lotus seat like a magical object floating in a sea of golden liquid.
The instant the life heart touched the lotus seat, a clearly defined polygonal pattern appeared on the surface of the lotus seat.
A humming sound rang in the air as the lotus seat began to spin. At the same time, wisps of energy surged out of the life heart and surged into the lotus seat.
The lotus seat was absorbing the life span from the Yong's life heart, looking like a vortex that was pulling all the vitality energy into it.
Lu Zhou felt his heart stir as he watched this scene with unblinking eyes.
"Is this the activation of a Birth Chart?" It was not as difficult as Lu Zhou had imagined. It was true that the process of activating a Birth Chart was not complex. The difficult part was finding a Birth Chart Beast, defeating it, and obtaining its life heart.
The lotus seat continued to spin at an increasing speed. At this moment, the 'vortex' emitted a golden light as it continued to absorb the life span from the life heart.
Soon enough, the life heart began to shrink. It was as though one was watching a cube of ice melting. On the other hand, there was no change to the pattern that appeared earlier.
'1,500 years of life... if I use the Reversal Cards to provide it with years of life instead, will I be able to save the life heart?' In any case, this was just an idea for now. Lu Zhou had no plan of trying it now. At this moment, he did not have enough Reversal Cards, after all. He could only use the life heart.
…
After an unknown amount of time had passed…
At this moment, the life heart had completely disappeared, melting into the golden lotus seat. The lotus seat had stopped spinning as well.
Lu Zhou carefully studied the lotus seat. The place where the life heart was placed earlier seemed to have been filled up. Meanwhile, the polygon pattern on the lotus seat would light up from time to time.
This reminded him of Lu Li's Birth Chart. The only difference was Lu Zhou's Birth Chart was golden.
"So I've successfully activated my golden Birth Chart?"
