Chapter 1060: Youthful Reversal
Current merit points: 1,233,860
Remaining lifespan: 287,230 days (786 years, in which 263 years are from Reversal Cards)
With his lifespan, he could live for almost another 1,000 years. If he used more Reversal Cards, who knew if he would return to his mother’s womb? At that time, no matter how high his cultivation base was, it would be useless.
With more than 700 years now, he still needed more years to activate the sixth Birth Chart.
“It takes 1,500 years to activate a Birth Chart… This means I need to purchase more than 900 Reversal Cards. One card costs 500 merit points…”
Lu Zhou was rendered speechless after he did the calculations. He would have to spend at least 450,000 merit points just to activate this Birth Chart. He felt distressed even though he had more than a million merit points now.
Lu Zhou thought he should also think of ways to extend his life while he increased his cultivation base. If ordinary life hearts were useless, there should be other ways to do it. He was not a Five Chart cultivator; theoretically, he could live for 5,100 years. He only had more than 700 years left now. He was confident that he would be able to extend his lifespan as he continued to break the upper limit of his cultivation.
At this moment, a crisp sound rang in the hall again as Pu Yi’s life heart sank an inch into Lu Zhou’s Birth Palace.
With that, Lu Zhou felt a pain in his Dantian’s sea of Qi. Following that, the scorching heat came along with a piercing pain that was even more intense than before. It felt like a venomous scorpion was repeatedly stinging his Birth Palace.
Sweat broke out on Lu Zhou’s forehead.
‘It’s really not easy to activate the sixth Birth Chart. Just activating it is so painful, how difficult would the Birth Trial be?’
Lu Zhou thought about the Purple Glazed Ceramic. The cool energy from it could soothe the pain slightly; it was unfortunate he had depleted its energy earlier when he was sparring with Lan Xihe. He really regretted trying to act cool earlier. If he had known this would happen, he would have used three Thunderblast to deal with her instead of using the Purple Glazed Ceramic.
The heat grew hotter and hotter.
“This can’t continue. Otherwise, I’d die from the heat sooner or later…”
Indeed, the heat was very dangerous even though Lu Zhou possessed the fire-resistant ability.
He needed to neutralize the heat with something cold. This would not be a problem if he was still in the white lotus domain where it snowed everywhere.
“Black Water Mystic Cave?” The scene where Yu Shangrong was in the Black Water Mystic Cave appeared in his mind. It was also very cold there. However, it was too dangerous. A Five Chart Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator was a delicious meal for the fierce beasts there. Activating his Birth Chart there was equivalent to throwing sheep into a tiger’s mouth.
“What about the Cold Pond?” Lu Zhou recalled the Cold Pond north of Cloud Mountain. It was incredibly cold there due to its towering height. Back when he was a guest on Cloud Mountain, he had heard Nie Qingyun speak about it. At that time, he was only a Nine-leaf cultivator; if he had entered the Cold Pond that time, he would only die.
Lu Zhou no longer hesitated. While his Birth Chart had yet to activate, he quickly left the Preservation Hall and made his way to Cloud Mountain.
…
Lu Zhou flew under the cover of the night with his lotus next to him. He would look at his Birth Palace from time to time.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he had shrunk his lotus to an inconspicuous size. From afar, he looked like a shooting star.
When he flew at top speed, his speed was inferior to Whitzard’s speed. Although it required him to use Primal Qi, he knew now was not the time to save his Primal Qi.
After flying at top speed for two hours, Lu Zhou finally arrived at Cloud Mountain. He hovered in the night sky quietly as he looked at the 12 peaks.
Each of the peaks was protected by Dao inscriptions. The inscriptions resembled the waves from the sea from afar. Under the moonlight, they sparkled conspicuously. Even the birds in the sky would instinctively avoid the sparkling Dao inscriptions.
According to etiquette, Lu Zhou should greet Nie Qingyun first. However, he was in a rush now so he directly flew north of Cloud Mountain.
Some of the Cloud Mountain disciples on the cloud platform were surprised by the streak of light in the sky.
“What’s that?”
“It looks like a shooting star.”
It was not surprising that the disciples could not see Lu Zhou with their cultivation bases.
“He’s coming over! Wait, our Dao inscriptions!” one disciple exclaimed in shock.
Whoosh!
Like a stone being thrown into a still lake, faint ripples appeared in the air as the streak of light made its way north. In just a second, the ripples disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
The Cloud Mountain disciples were baffled by this sight.
“Quickly report this to the Sect Master!”
…
Lu Zhou flew past the 12 peaks of Cloud Mountain. He flew high above the clouds as he flew north. Below him, the ground was white as far as his eyes could see. It snowed here all year round after all. Occasionally, strange and jagged rocks could be seen, giving the white land a few strokes of ink.
At this moment, Lu Zhou heard another crisp sound. Pu Yi’s life heart had almost completely sunk into his Birth Palace. The scorching energy in his Dantian’s sea of Qi felt like molten lava at this moment. He knew if he allowed Pu Yi’s life heart to enter his Birth Palace completely, he would not be able to reuse it.
Lu Zhou endured the unbearable heat, tightly clenching his hands into fists as he did so.
Soon enough, a vortex appeared, and his lifespan began to decrease. Fortunately, he had more than 700 years of life so he still had time.
-100 days
-200 days
-100 days
As Lu Zhou rushed to the highest peak the air grew thinner. The pressure was very uncomfortable. Humans were tiny faced with the universe, just like a speck of dust. Even a Five Chart Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator could not withstand the law of the universe.
When he finally reached the highest peak of the snowy mountain, he looked down at the Cold Pond. It was like a bowl.
Lu Zhou did not hesitate and flew toward the pond. After surveying his surroundings for a moment, he entered the pond.
Splash!
As soon as he submerged himself in the pond, Lu Zhou felt as though his pores were like gills. It felt like he did not need to come up for air at all. One had to know that although cultivators could hold their breaths for a long time, they still needed to come up for air at some point.
“Is this Pu Yi’s ability?” He recalled Pu Yi’s power had something to do with ruling the four seas.
This was a pleasant surprise.
Lu Zhou looked at the vortex in his Birth Palace and his remaining lifespan. He only had 500 years left now.
With this, he began to buy Reversal Cards. In the end, he bought 900 Reversal Cards.
“Use.”
Above the Cold Pond on the peak of the snowy mountain, vitality energy began to gather.
Lu Zhou’s lifespan was swiftly replenished.
The numbers of his lifespan on the system interface kept increasing and decreasing.
At the same time, his wrinkles slowly vanished. His hair turned even inkier than before. Time kept rewinding for him in the Cold Pond.
…
After who-knew-how-long had passed, there was a slight stirring in the cold air.
On the peak of the snowy mountain, a light pillar with a diameter of a few meters appeared 1,000 meters away from the Cold Pond. In just a few breaths, the light pillar disappeared.
At this moment, two figures appeared near the peak of the snowy mountain.
One of them said, “Young Master Qin, I’m afraid of the consequences of opening the runic passage without permission!”
The elegant young master’s name was Qin Moshang. He wore his hair in a bun. He wore a brocade robe, and a jade pendant hung from his waist. His phoenix-like eyes and slender eyebrows made him look somewhat feminine, but they did nothing to diminish the imposing air about him. He said, “Why are you worried about the consequences? If there are any, I’ll bear them!”
The servant stammered, “B-but… But the higher-ups prohibited everyone from opening a runic passage or leaving…”
“Since we’re already here, what’s the point of worrying? Don’t worry, I’ll just have look; I won’t do anything else…”
The servant remained quiet.
Qin Moshang’s nose twitched slightly. He pointed in front of him and said, “How lucky! Look at the rich vitality energy up ahead…”
“Indeed, it’s rare.”
“Let’s go and have a look. Don’t stop me. It’s fine for me to walk around the snowy mountain. Ordinary people can’t come up here after all.”
With that, the master and the servant flew toward the Cold Pond. Like curious rabbits, they approached the edge of the Cold Pond and looked at the water before they looked at the rich vitality energy above it.
