Chapter 1134: 1,000 Year at a Glance

Naturally, as the avatar’s level increased, the upgrading of the avatar would be more difficult as well.

However, since Lu Zhou was now a Seven Chart cultivator who had formed the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar and possessed the supreme mystic power, the speed of upgrading such a weak avatar was much faster than ordinary cultivators. It was like a walk in the park for him.

100 years of life was a lot back in the golden lotus domain.

Even if one had nine or ten leaves, they still would not easily give up on 100 years of life. It was only when one entered the Thousand Realms Whirling stage that one would possess the ability to disregard the loss of 100 years of life.

“Does this mean that from the beginning, the Heavenly Writing Power can form an avatar?” Lu Zhou speculated.

While he was distracted, the three flowers gathered at the top of the avatar had already absorbed 50 years of life. At the same time, the avatar’s size continued to increase.

…

Outside of the Preservation Hall.

The four elders of the Evil Sky Pavilion had come to visit Lu Zhou. When they drew near, they felt the familiar fluctuation of energy. They stopped in their tracks immediately.

“What a familiar feeling… Let’s not go in for now…” Pan Litian said.

The other three elders nodded.

“It feels like the energy when one’s forming the Mighty Four Quadrants avatar. Although it’s weak, it’s obvious. However, the vitality is really strong,” Leng Luo said as he glanced at the Preservation Hall.

After so long, the four elders had already gotten used to strange things like this.

Zuo Yushu’s eyes lit up as she said, “Is it possible that Elder Brother is using this method to regain his youthful appearance?”

“The art of rejuvenation is very difficult. Back then, when no one had sprouted the ninth leaf, many cultivators tried to regain their youth. In order to maintain their youth, they did not hesitate to cultivate secret techniques, witchcraft, or evil unorthodox techniques. Nevertheless, many people failed…” Leng Luo said.

“You’re saying the Pavilion Master is cultivating some secret technique?” Pan Litian asked.

“We can’t rule out this possibility.”

Everyone nodded. They continued discussing among themselves when the energy fluctuation suddenly changed.

Leng Luo frowned. “The fluctuation is no longer that of the Mighty Four Quadrants. Now, it feels like someone is forming the Five Energies Universe avatar!”

“Hey, I can cultivate in this manner as well!” Pan Litian manifested his Ten-leaf avatar. Then, he suppressed its power and shrank it. The lotus leaves disappeared soon after. He spent a lot of effort before he finally managed to transform it into a Basic Taiji avatar. Then, he turned it into a Two Transformed Powers avatar.

Everyone shook their heads. There was clearly something wrong.

“Let’s see what I can do,” Zuo Yushu said before she manifested her avatar. Based on her own knowledge and techniques, she turned her avatar into a Basic Taiji avatar as well.

The result was the same. It was not difficult to transform the avatar into a Two Transformed Powers avatar. However, despite the appearances of their avatars, something did not seem right.

“That’s it! Our avatars are the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars. No matter how we changed their appearances, the energy inside still belongs to the Hundred Insight Tribulation avatars…”

“You have a point.”

“Forget it… We’ll come back another day to visit the Pavilion Master.”

As soon as the four elders left, Lu Li and Yan Zhenluo walked out from the nearby corridor and looked at the four elders’ retreating backs.

“Brother Yan, I don’t doubt you when you said the Evil Sky Pavilion can’t be judged using common sense. However… What was that? People rise, and water flows down; it’s natural for things to advance instead of regressing. Can you please explain the meaning of changing one’s avatar to the Basic Taiji avatar?” Lu Li said with a confused expression.

Yan Zhenluo scratched his head and said, “It’s best not to ask so many questions. Let’s just keep a low profile…”

Then, as Yan Zhenluo walked away, he kept muttering to himself, “Keep a low profile. Keep a low profile. Keep a low profile.”

Lu Li turned to look in the direction of the Preservation Hall and muttered to himself, “So when I first met the Pavilion Master, he was just pretending?”

Lu Li frowned at this thought. ‘How cunning!’

…

It took 100 years to form the Mighty Four Quadrants avatar, but it took 300 years to form the Five Energies Universe avatar. That was three times more than before. The further he advanced, the more lifespan it would consume.

Lu Zhou gauged his supreme mystic power and discovered that so far only a little was consumed. The blue avatar’s consumption of energy was not a lot, similar to back when he still had the extraordinary power.

…

After half a day had passed, the sun was finally setting.

The sunlight shone through the window into the Preservation Hall.

The sunlight contrasted the blue of the avatar, making the blue even more vivid and pure.

Lu Zhou muttered under his breath, “I wonder if the blue lotus domain exists…”

Regardless of whether it existed or not, he could only depend on himself on this path of cultivation.

The blue crystal came from the Great Void; the blue crystal was the soil from which the Great Void Seeds grew; Ji Tiandao obtained the Great Void Seed from the Great Void. Was the blue lotus related to the Great Void?

Buzz!

The avatar suddenly increased one time.

“Ding! Completed the formation of the Five Energies Universe avatar.”

“Ding! Advancing to the next stage will consume 900 years of life.”

“…”

’10 years and 100 years aren’t a lot. However, if it takes 900 years to advance to the next stage, wouldn’t forming the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar consume 10,000 years of life?! Even housing prices aren’t so ridiculous!’

However, Lu Zhou only complained in his heart. In the end, he still decided to advance.

As time passed, the difference between the blue avatar and the golden avatar became more and more obvious.

The difficulty and time needed to upgrade the blue avatar were much more compared to the golden avatar. Based on his rich experience, he speculated that even if a genius cultivator only cultivated the blue avatar, they would be stuck at the Five Energies Universe for two to three years.

…

It took two full days before for the Five Energies Universe avatar to advance into a Six Recombinant Trigram Lines avatar.

“Ding! Completed the forming of the Six Recombinant Trigram Lines avatar.”

“Ding! Advancing to the next stage will consume 2,000 years of life.”

Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve. He decided to stop at the Six Recombinant Trigram Lines avatar. He only had half of his 5,000 years of life left. If he used up another 2,000 years, he would not have many years to live.

Following that, he manifested his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. He looked at it and wondered if he could increase the level of his golden avatar using external energy instead of his lifespan.

“It’s not worth it to use my own lifespan.”

Lu Zhou waved his sleeve again.

Buzz!

The blue Six Recombinant Trigram Lines avatar appeared next to the golden Thousand Realms Whirling avatar. One was tall; one was short. One was big; one was small.

“So I can manifest two avatars at the same time…”

After a while, Lu Zhou withdrew both avatars. There was no point testing the strength of the blue avatar now. After all, it was still very weak.

At this moment, a voice rang from outside of the hall.

“Master, the White Tower Council’s judge, Ning Wanqing, requests an audience with you…”

“Come in.”

With this, Lu Zhou no longer dwelled on the matters of avatars any longer.

Little Yuan’er led Ning Wanqing into the Preservation Hall.

“Greetings, Pavilion Master Lu.” Ning Wanqing bowed.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Tower Master Lan wants to meet Pavilion Master Lu,” Ning Wanqing said.

“Meet me?” Lu Zhou was puzzled.

Ning Wanqing sighed before he said, “Tower Master Lan doesn’t have much time left. The battle with the beast emperor made it worse. I’m afraid that…” He trailed off before he changed the topic and said, “Tower Master wanted to come to Great Tang’s capital, but she really can’t make the trip over…”

“I will keep my promise,” Lu Zhou said.

Ning Wanqing was overjoyed when he heard these words. “Great Ming is eyeing us greedily; they’re only waiting for Tower Master Lan to leave. With Pavilion Master Lu’s words, I feel greatly relieved.”

Lu Zhou suddenly asked, “Aren’t you a member of Great Ming?”

“…”

Ning Wanqing was taken aback. An embarrassed expression appeared on his face. “I was from Great Ming, but that’s all in the past. Previously, Mister Seventh’s words helped me come to my senses so I no longer dare to play any petty tricks…”

“Just as distance tests a horse’s strength, time will reveal a person’s intention. Your performance so far saved your life…” Lu Zhou said.

“Thank you for your understanding, Pavilion Master Lu.”
