My disciples are all villains.

Tian Ming, the whiteguard, was originally slightly worried, but when he saw Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong's cultivation bases, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, the attack from the formation flag was beyond Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai's expectations.

Nevertheless, Yu Zhenghai said with nary a change in his expression, "Young man, if you know the Evil Sky Pavilion, you'll know how foolish you're acting right now."

Tian Ming spread his hands and made an inviting gesture as he said, "Well, the White Tower Council has always been reasonable. If you want to look for something, then go ahead…"

Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai exchanged a look and rushed toward the ruins, the location that was marked on the map.

Meanwhile, Tian Ming was confused as he watched the duo search the ruins. 'Does the Evil Sky Pavilion have anything to do with recent murders of the members of the White Tower Council? What are they searching for? Golden and red lotus cultivators have always been weak, and none of them has successfully formed the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. Then, how can this person have a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar?'

To be able to form the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar, one had to first activate one's Birth Chart. The Birth Chart Beasts in the Great Tang were monopolized by the Black Tower Council so even red lotus cultivators were unable to obtain life hearts from Birth Chart Beasts. So how did a golden lotus cultivator manage to form a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar?

Although Tian Ming did not know much about the golden lotus domain and the red lotus domain, he knew the golden lotus domain and the red lotus domain were weak. For that reason, they were the targets of the Black Tower Council and the White Tower Council's captive plan. However, the golden lotus domain was even weaker than the red lotus domain. Many years ago, the White Tower Council sent some people to scout the golden lotus domain. They discovered the golden lotus domain was so weak that they had put their captive plan on hold.

While Tian Ming was thinking about these matters, he did look away from Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong. He continued watching the duo carefully search the ruins.

Just like that, the duo spent the entire day searching the ruins.

…

Meanwhile, in the Evil Sky Pavilion's eastern pavilion.

Lu Zhou, who had gained 10,000 days, was still trying his luck with the lucky draws.

"Lucky draw."

"Ding! Used 50 merit points. Thank you for your participation. Luck point +1."

"I'm on home ground now; there's no reason for it to be like this," Lu Zhou muttered to himself.

When he looked at the almost 500 luck points he gained, he felt rather helpless. Once again, his luck points had broken the record. 500 luck points were equivalent to 25,000 merit points. Not only did he lose merit points, but he had wasted his time as well.

"I refuse to accept this. Lucky draw!"

…

The next morning.

The sunlight streamed in through the window into the eastern pavilion's hall.

The light pulled Lu Zhou, who was numbed by the lucky draws, back to his senses.

He exhaled helplessly and did not bother to look at his luck points. It was meaningless.

He looked at the sun outside of the window before he said silently under his breath, "Lucky draw."

"Ding! Used 50 merit points and 999 luck points. Obtained: Reversal Card x20, Synthesis Card x2, Disguise Card x1, Ji Tiandao's Peak Trial Card x1, Acacia technique."

It had not been easy this time. He had used more than 40,000 merit points. Fortunately, he managed to obtain a Peak Trial Card in the end. Otherwise, he would have suffered a huge loss!

Lu Zhou raised his right hand. Three Peak Trial Cards and a Synthesis Card appeared in his hand immediately.

"Synthesize."

"Ding! The synthesis is successful. Obtained: Enhanced Ji Tiandao's Peak Trial Card."

"Ding! Enhanced Ji Tiandao's Peak Trial Card allows you to be in Ji Tiandao's peak state for 30 minutes."

"Why is it still Ji Tiandao's peak state?" Lu Zhou was perplexed. The peak of Ji Tiandao's strength was at the Nine-leaf stage. Based on the system notification, even after the three cards were synthesized, he would only gain the strength of a Nine-leaf cultivator. Was this not a huge loss? No matter how strong a Nine-leaf cultivator was, how could they compare to Thousand Realms Whirling experts? Even if he had an endless supply of energy, he still could not withstand a slap from a Thousand Realms Whirling expert!

'The system didn't specify Ji Tiandao's peak state. There's no reason for the enhanced version to be weaker than the ordinary version…' Lu Zhou reassured himself. Following that, he put the enhanced Peak Trial Card away.

Lu Zhou looked at the other item cards. Apart from the Acacia, the others were just ordinary item cards.

"Acacia? It's a technique?" With the Butterfly Love Flower that he obtained previously, he had two techniques now. One was suitable for Ye Tianxin, and the other one was suitable for Zhao Yue. He would have to find them to copy these techniques down.

After putting the items cards away, Lu Zhou chanted the mantra for the Heavenly Writing Power to check on his eldest and second disciple.

Soon enough, he saw Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai flew back and forth around the ruins. From time to time, they would launch energy swords and energy sabers at the rubble.

In the distance, a white flag could be seen fluttering in the wind. A whiteguard hovered next to the white flag.

Lu Zhou was confused when he saw the white-clad man. 'Someone from the White Tower Council? Why are Old First and Old Second getting along so peacefully with someone from the White Tower Council?'

Lu Zhou nodded and stroked his beard in satisfaction after a while. It seemed like his teachings were not in vain. His disciples knew when to retreat and when to advance.

Bang!

Yu Shangrong controlled the Longevity Sword and launched it at a stone pillar.

Upon hearing the commotion, Tian Ming turned to look. A complex expression appeared on his face when he saw the Longevity Sword. "A flood-grade weapon? A mere Ten-leaf cultivator possesses a flood-grade weapon?"

Boom!

At this moment, another energy sword destroyed a circular building that seemed like a smaller version of the palace. It was reduced to rubble in just an instant, and cracks could be seen on the floor.

"It's here." Yu Shangrong called out.

"How can it be so easy to find?"

Yu Shangrong retorted, "Do you think it's normal to find an undamaged box in the ruins?"

"You have a point." Yu Zhenghai nodded. After rushed over, he used the Jasper Saber and brought it down on the box.

Bang!

The box cracked and split into two, revealing clothes and the four treasures of the study. There were no scrolls from the Heavenly Writing.

"It doesn't make sense. We have already searched through the areas marked on the map," Yu Zhenghai said with a frown.

"What master is looking for is similar to a piece of paper, but it's much thicker than ordinary paper. I saw it when I was in the Melilot's Graveyard. It had to be special since it didn't rot after being left in the graveyard for such a long time; there was no damage to it at all. Since master said it's here, it has to be here," Yu Shangrong said.

Yu Zhenghai kicked the box away. He spread his arms as he said, "In that case, let's just burn everything!"

Golden karmic fire appeared immediately and burned everything in its path at a rapid speed.

"Karmic fire?" Tian Ming was taken aback as he watched the karmic fire that turned the ruins into a sea of fire.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhenghai asked, filled with pride, "Second Junior Brother, what do you think of the karmic fire?"

Yu Shangrong replied with a straight face, "I'm afraid master's thing won't be able to withstand the karmic fire."

Yu Zhenghai. "..."

Sizzle!

Yu Zhenghai leaped up.

A strong wind began to stir and blew across the ruins, extinguishing the karmic fire in just an instant.

The ruins were as black as charcoal now.

When Yu Zhenghai descended, he kicked a burnt box to the side.

Thud!

Lying in the ashes was a scroll that shone with a faint blue light. Its light was like the stars twinkling in the galaxy; it was exceptionally beautiful.

"Found it!"

The duo approached the scroll of the Heavenly Writing. When the light from the scroll shone on them, mist-like energy rose from their bodies immediately.

Upon seeing this, Tian Ming frowned and cried out in shock, "The Great Void energy!"
