Chapter 1516 A Saint With Twelve Leaves (2)
‘If I had a black lotus, wouldn’t it mean it would turn completely black?’
As soon as this thought appeared in Lu Zhou’s mind, the blue avatar turned black immediately.
“Hmm?” Lu Zhou frowned.
‘I was just casually thinking. Don’t f*cking mess around! I’d rather it turn white, okay?!’
Following that, the avatar turned white immediately.
III
Realization dawned on Lu Zhou.
“So I can freely change its colors now?”
Lu Zhou began to test it out. As expected, he easily changed his avatar’s color from white to gold to red to purple and to green. Finally, it returned to blue.
No matter what color it was, the buzzing blue electric arcs were there, making it look even more majestic and domineering.
There were various colors of lotuses. The jade green lotus was originally green. In any case, his blue lotus was unique. Was his avatar the perfect avatar?
Lu Zhou felt inexplicably excited. This new ability would help him to hide his identity. With this, he no longer had to use Concealment Cards.
He called up the system interface to have a look. As expected, the Concealment Card had dimmed.
Late at night.
A huge beam of light shot up into the sky from the golden avatar.
Chen Fu, who was in the southern ancient building, sensed the movement. With a flash, he appeared in the night sky and looked in the direction of the eastern mountain.
“The light of a Twelve-leaf Saint?”
Chen Fu frowned. “Brother Lu, you’re too anxious!”
Chen Fu did not understand why Lu Zhou was in such a hurry to sprout his leaf instead of forming his divine soul pearl first.
“What a pity, what a pity.” Nonetheless, Chen Fu did not disturb Lu Zhou. After all, cultivators who just sprouted leaves needed time to stabilize their cultivation base.
Chen Fu returned to his room and regulated his breathing. He tried to soothe his injuries by absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.
After that, he let out a long sigh as he muttered, “I’m like a clay figure crossing the river now. I can’t even protect myself, but I still have the time to care about other people’s matters. Who knows if I’ll wake up tomorrow?”
The next morning.
Chen Fu’s attendant voice rang from outside.
“Senior Lu, Saint Chen invites you over to discuss the Dao.”
Lu Zhou opened his eyes and glanced at his golden avatar only to find it had already vanished.
Buzz!
With a flick of his sleeve, it appeared again.
The first thing he looked at was naturally the lotus. As expected, there was an extra leaf.
“The 12th leaf sprouted so easily?”
The process was unbelievably smooth.
He had been meditating on the Heavenly Writing so he did not know when exactly the 12th leaf sprouted.
Nonetheless, he was very satisfied with the result.
Lu Zhou put away the golden avatar and got ready to meet Chen Fu. Although Chen Fu might not be as good as him, Chen Fu was far more experienced and knowledgeable. Even if Chen Fu’s methods were not suitable for him, it was always better to know more.
“Alright,” Lu Zhou replied.
When Lu Zhou reappeared outside, he saw the young attendant standing respectfully.
The young attendant looked at Lu Zhou and said, “Congratulations on sprouting the 12th leaf, Senior Lu.”
“Oh, you know about it?” Lu Zhou asked. “When sprouting the 12th leaf, the Saint Light will appear. I think everyone knows about it,” the young attendant replied.
‘It’s so exaggerated?!’
Lu Zhou wanted to keep a low profile. He did not expect sprouting the 12th leaf would produce such an exaggerated effect.
The young attendant said again, “Senior Lu, Saint Chen is waiting for you on the circular platform.”
“Lead the way,” Lu Zhou said as he walked forward with his hands on his back.
When Lu Zhou arrived, he saw a stone table and four stone benches placed in an area above the circular platform. The view of the circular platform from there was excellent as well.
The disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion and the Autumn Dew Mountain were scattered around the circular platform, discussing cultivation and sparring with each other. The scene looked rather harmonious.
When Chen Fu saw Lu Zhou walking over, he said, “Congratulations.”
Lu Zhou took the seat across from Chen Fu before he said, “It’s only the 12th leaf. It’s not worth mentioning.”
Chen Fu said, “This isn’t an ordinary leaf. After becoming a Birth Chart expert, one can sprout a leaf after activating 12 Birth Charts. One leaf is equivalent to six Birth Charts. After activating 36 Birth Charts, one would become a supreme being. Hence, Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators have 12 leaves at most.”
Lu Zhou nodded. He had known this from Yu Shangrong’s path of severing the lotus. After he sprouted his twelfth leaf, he did not have time to sense the changes in his cultivation so he did not know how strong he had grown.
After he formed his divine soul pearl, he inexplicably felt that everything was as it should be, as though it was a matter of course. His emotions seemed calmer than before as well.
Chen Fu asked, “However, why didn’t you form your divine soul pearl first, Brother Lu? If you sprout your 12th leaf first before forming your divine soul pearl, it would be almost impossible to form your divine soul pearl.”
“Don’t worry,” Lu Zhou said.
Chen Fu could not forget the Saint Light he saw last night, and he thought about it the entire night. Hence, despite being an unflappable Saint, he said, “No, I just feel sorry for you.”
“Sorry?” Lu Zhou was puzzled.
“Like I said before, there are many advantages to having a divine soul pearl. You can switch between the divine soul pearl and your Birth Charts, and it’s much stronger than the Birth Charts alone. To give up on it is no different from cutting off one of your arms. In the future, even if you become a Great Saint or a Dao Saint, you’ll be among the weaker ones. Brother Lu, you were too impulsive,” Chen Fu said with a regretful expression on his face.
“You’ve misunderstood,” Lu Zhou said.
“Misunderstood?”
Lu Zhou said truthfully, “I’ve already formed my divine soul pearl.”
“Brother Lu, are you joking?” Chen Fu asked.
Buzz!
Lu Zhou did not bother to waste words on such trivial matters so he directly manifested his lotus.
When Chen Fu saw the concentric rings and the circular area, he frowned.
Then, Lu Zhou brought his dazzling divine soul pearl with just a thought.
“This isn’t a fake divine soul pearl.”
Lu Zhou activated his divine soul pearl.
The divine soul pearl lit up like the sun immediately, illuminating everything within a radius of a few miles.
The disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion and the Autumn Dew Mountain instinctively raised their heads and looked at the dazzling light source above the circular platform.
Lu Zhou waved his hand, and the divine soul pearl rose up into the sky, looking even more like the sun.
The divine soul pearl circled above the circular platform for a moment before it flew back and landed on the lotus seat. Then, it dimmed and returned to its original appearance.
Chen Fu: “…”
Chen Fu was stunned.
The disciples of the Evil Sky Pavilion and the Autumn Dew Mountain were also stunned by this scene.
Even Mingshi Yin, who was sleeping in the forest, raised his head to have a look before he muttered sleepily, “Even if everything burns, I won’t care.”
Mingshi Yin had learned from his mistakes. He would not meddle.
Chen Fu was stunned silent for a long time before he finally said, “Unbelievable!”
“What’s so unbelievable?” Lu Zhou asked.
“Like I said before, forming a divine soul pearl usually takes three to five months at least and three to five years at most. You… Only one night has passed. This is illogical!” Chen Fu kept shaking his head.
“To be precise, it took two hours,” Lu Zhou said.
“Why is that?” Chen Fu was perplexed. “Perhaps, I’m just part of a very talented group of people,” Lu Zhou said. He could only explain it this way.
“Brother Lu, have you started to form your divine soul pearl before this?” Chen Fu asked. This was the only reason he could come up with. After a while, he said again, “No, if you were in the process of forming it, the Saint Light wouldn’t change from the last time I saw it…”
Buzz!
At this time, a halo appeared behind Lu Zhou. The brightness was 100 times stronger than the last time Chen Fu saw it.
Everyone’s attention was attracted by Lu Zhou again. They narrowed their eyes and looked at the hard-to-miss brilliance.
Similarly, Mingshi Yin squinted his eyes and looked at the dazzling light. Fortunately, dense leaves grew around him, blocking the piercing light. However, he could still sense the power from the light.
Mingshi Yin frowned. “So dazzling! Who’s acting so pretentious?”.
