Chapter 1635: Five Birth Charts At Once (1)

“Increase the strength of the Heavenly Writing powers?”

All along, Lu Zhou assumed that the Heavenly Writing powers he had mastered would grow stronger along with his comprehension of the Heavenly Writing. He did not expect their strength could be further improved with item cards.

Lu Zhou was rather satisfied with this.

“Ding! Improve your Heavenly Writing powers until they become the Heavenly Writing true powers. The Heavenly Writing true powers will improve along with the increase of your divine Dao power.”

These words were like a tonic for the heart.

Lu Zhou nodded and waved his hand before the Heavenly Power Upgrade Card appeared in his hand.

The card’s patterns were unique, and it was slightly similar to the Supreme Card. There were complex runes on it, and it emitted a mysterious light and aura. The back of the card was also suffused with a faint blue light.

Sometimes, Lu Zhou thought that the system was definitely related to the Unholy One. The cards all held unfathomable and indescribable power; since that was the case, how did the Unholy One lose?

Lu Zhou recalled what he had seen and learned of the Unholy One when he was in the abyss. Among the strings of disjointed words, he remembered the words ‘looking forward to eternal life’. Did this mean that the Unholy One had yet to fully grasp the power? He thought the possibility was quite high.

After gathering his thoughts, Lu Zhou looked at the item card in his hand again.

“Which Heavenly Writing power should I upgrade?”

Currently, Lu Zhou had mastered ten Heavenly Writing abilities: first, the power of speech; second, the power of muting; third, the power of past lives; fourth, the power of healing; fifth, the power of hearing; sixth, the power of sight; seventh, the power of smell; eighth, the power of concealment; ninth, the power of infinite deduction; and tenth, the power of teleportation.

Although it was good to have many powers, now that he had to make a choice, he felt rather troubled.

He could choose to hear clearer, see further, or speak louder. However, it seemed like the final three Heavenly Writing powers, the power of concealment; the power of infinite deductions; and the power of teleportation, were the most obvious choices to improve his strength.

If he improved the power of concealment, perhaps, he would be able to go into an extreme state of concealment. As for the power of infinite deductions, he did not know what its effect would be like after it was improved.

“The power of teleportation?”

With his current power of teleportation, he could easily move back and forth within a certain distance. With this, he could easily occupy an advantageous position during a battle.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Zhou thought it was most suitable to upgrade his tenth Heavenly Writing power. Now that he had made up his mind, he shattered the Heavenly Power Upgrade Card in his hand.

“Upgrade.”

The item card shattered into specks of starlight that surrounded his body. Then, they drifted out about one or two feet in front of him and began to arrange themselves neatly. After a moment, it could be seen that they had arranged themselves according to the pattern at the back of the cards.

Energy began to surge and converge at the patterns formed by the specks of light. Soon enough, a vortex appeared in the sky about Xuanyi Palace. The energy within the vortex continued to surge into the Dao hall.

…

Xuanyi, Zhang He, and the others flew out from different places when they sensed the fluctuations. They looked at the sky in confusion.

“Pavilion Master Lu?”

The magnitude of the energy was truly astonishing.

Zhang He flew next to Xuanyi and asked, “Is Pavilion Master Lu cultivating?”

Xuanyi nodded and said with a sigh, “Initially, I assumed he had just become a supreme being not too long ago. After the battle with Teng She, I realized I’d greatly underestimated him.”

Although Xuanyi knew Lu Zhou’s true identity, he had always believed that his teacher had yet to return to his peak strength. He assumed that was the reason his teacher was staying in Xuanyi Palace to bide his time.

Zhang He asked curiously, “I don’t understand. Why did the White Emperor send him here?”

“White Emperor?” Xuanyi frowned.

With this, Zhang He seemed to realize he had misspoken. He hurriedly said, “I… I didn’t mean to reveal his identity so openly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have long known that he’s the White Emperor’s subordinate.”

Xuanyi looked at Zhang He and asked, “Is that why you show him respect?”

Zhang He nodded. “I didn’t know this initially. Li Chun told me about it. However, Your Majesty’s treatment of him is quite… suspicious. Even if he’s the White Emperor’s subordinate, I don’t think Your Majesty needs to…”

Xuanyi frowned. “Finished your words.”

“There’s no need for Your Majesty to…” Zhang He said as his voice grew smaller and smaller, “… flatter him.”

The last two words were almost inaudible.

Xuanyi lowered his voice and said in a dignified tone, “Do you think you’re qualified to tell me what to do?”

“I don’t dare! I’m just saying what’s in my heart. The sun and moon can be my witness!” Zhang He said.

Xuanyi looked at the strange movements in the sky and said, “Many things aren’t as simple as you think they are. You should respect someone like Pavilion Master Lu.”

“Your Majesty is right. I understand.”

“You don’t understand.”

“I really do understand. I…”

“Scram.” Xuanyi’s expression turned stern.

“Right away!” Zhang He said.

Suddenly, Xuanyi called out, “Wait.”

“What are your orders, Your Majesty?” Zhang He asked.

“Seal off all the runic passages in Xuanyi Palace. No one’s allowed to enter for the time being,” Xuanyi said.

“Understood.”

Only by severing the connection between the runic passages in Xuanyi Palace and the other runic passages would they have a chance to keep the energy fluctuations here a secret.

Even if the Sacred Temple’s Scales of Justice were able to sense the fluctuations, as long as Xuanyi Palace did not open the runic passage, they could buy some time since it would take quite long to fly over to Xuanyi Palace from the Sacred Temple.

The Great Void and the Unknown Land were really vast, after all.

After 15 minutes, the energy vortex finally disappeared.

Xuanyi did not go to the Dao hall to meet Lu Zhou. Instead, he returned to the main hall.

…

At the same time, Lu Zhou took a deep breath and sensed his Heavenly Writing power. He did not test it out. Instead, he looked at the blue avatar’s lotus next to him.
