Chapter 1184: The Ancestor Has Come Back to Life
Lu Zhou did not pay attention to the crowd’s discussion and continued forward. When he was one-third of his way in, he raised his head to look at the energy seals around him.
“The energy seals are very pure… This must be due to the exquisiteness of the formation…”
Cultivators could condense their Primal Qi into energy by controlling their Dantians’ seas of Qi, and thus, forming energy swords, energy sabers, and so on.
It was very difficult for formations to form energy since this required the formation to be like a human’s Dantian’s sea of Qi. With this, one could imagine how difficult it was to inscribe such a formation.
‘This formation left behind by Venerable Master Lu is indeed extraordinary. I’ve underestimated this formation…’
Lu Zhou looked at the stone pillar in the center of the valley. It was still spinning, stirring up the Primal Qi in the surroundings. It was as though it was a huge stick stirring up the water in a huge water tank, causing a vortex to form in the water.
Based on the formation’s name, there should be nine waves of energy. However, as the force of the energy grew stronger, it would be lethal.
Meanwhile, outside of the formation, Lu Qianshan said, “It’s not surprising that Senior Lu is fine…”
The young cultivators were confused.
“It’s strange, right? He’s completely unaffected.”
On the other hand, the middle-aged man, who had yet to believe his defeat, leaped up again. This time, he manifested his avatar that was 350 feet tall. Based on this, one could tell he had two Birth Charts.
Everyone raised their heads and looked up.
The middle-aged man looked as though he had made his mind and charged in decisively and confidently!
Boom!
The middle-aged man reached the one-third point in the formation in just a blink of an eye.
Everyone was overwhelmed with emotions as they watched.
“Amazing.”
“Indeed, using speed is a brilliant idea…”
If one could break through the formation with strength, it was not a bad idea to use speed to charge into the formation before the force became too strong.
Soon after, the middle-aged man arrived in front of Lu Zhou. He turned around and said with a smile, “Although the difficulty has increased, it’s not impossible to reach the finish line.”
Lu Zhou nodded. “Not bad.”
“Thank you for your praise, senior. Shall we go together?” The middle-aged who was feeling competitive rushed toward the stone pillar without waiting for Lu Zhou’s reply.
Lu Zhou did not stop the middle-aged man. He only said, “Young man, it’s good to have a competitive spirit.”
The middle-aged man felt a little awkward; it was his first time being lectured by someone who looked younger than him. However, seeing how the other party was walking in the formation with so much ease, he could not refute the words. After a moment, he controlled his avatar and flew toward the heart of the formation. With his avatar’s help, his speed was very fast. It did not take long for him to leave Lu Zhou behind.
Meanwhile, the young cultivators outside of the formation began to discuss among themselves again.
“The middle-aged man seems stronger…”
“Yeah, he’s so far ahead now…”
Upon hearing these words, Lu Qianshan raised his hand and made a shushing gesture before he said, “Young people, you should watch and learn…”
The implication was they spoke too much nonsense.
Since a Thousand Realms Whirling expert like Lu Qianshan had spoken, they naturally no longer dared to say anything and shifted their eyes toward Lu Zhou and the middle-aged man.
When the middle-aged man arrived at the halfway point, he turned around and asked, “Do you need help?”
Lu Zhou continued to move forward step by step at a neither fast nor slow speed. However, compared to flying, his speed was naturally slow. He said, “No need.”
Lu Zhou did not want to compete with the middle-aged man at all. Instead, his attention was focused on the formation.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “Alright, work hard! I’ll wait for you at the finish line.”
The middle-aged man continued to move forward. He pushed his astrolabe forward while his avatar was at his back as he blocked wave after wave of energy seals. His speed was much faster than Lu Zhou’s, and it did not take long before he was two-thirds into the formation. He thought that if he worked hard enough, he would definitely reach the finish line. After all, the energy seals in the surroundings were blocked by his astrolabe and avatar; they could not harm him.
Boom!
At this moment, the huge stone pillar suddenly trembled and stirred up a fierce invisible force.
The middle-aged man grunted. “Block.”
The astrolabe expanded and shielded him.
At this moment, the inscriptions that looked like strange patterns on the stone pillar suddenly lit up one after another. Subsequently, its spinning speed increased by several times.
A strong invisible force accompanied by energy seals swept out toward Lu Zhou and the middle-aged man.
Bang!
The energy seals landed on the middle-aged man’s astrolabe. The powerful impact caught him off guard, causing him to lose balance and flip backward in the air.
Lu Zhou raised his head to take a look. He mobilized a little Primal Qi and stomped his foot on the ground. Just like that, the incoming energy seals were all neutralized. Then, he said, “Put away your avatar.”
“Oh.” The middle-aged nodded upon hearing these words and hurriedly put his avatar away and continued to retreat.
“Lower your altitude.”
The middle-aged man was already panicking so he did as he was told without asking questions. He lowered his altitude and retreated.
The middle-aged man was about to collide with Lu Zhou when Lu Zhou raised his hand and pushed it out.
A palm seal floated out and dragged the middle-aged man backward.
“This…”
The young cultivators outside of the formation gulped. This was a true expert!
Fear still lingered in the middle-aged man’s heart as he said, “Thank you… senior…”
Lu Zhou said indifferently, “It’s not bad for young people to suffer some setbacks.”
A sheepish expression appeared on the middle-aged man’s face.
Lu Zhou retracted his hand before he said, “The higher you fly, the more miserable the fall.”
At this moment, the middle-aged man noticed a layer of energy covering Lu Zhou. With the layer of energy, the energy seals slid over Lu Zhou without affecting Lu Zhou at all. His heart was stirred by this sight, and he bowed immediately, “I’ve learned my lesson!”
The young cultivators were dumbfounded. They would understand if the middle-aged man thanked Lu Zhou since Lu Zhou had saved his life. However, what did he mean by ‘I’ve learned my lesson’?
Lu Zhou continued walking forward with his hands resting on his back while the middle-aged man followed behind him.
Lu Zhou stopped and said, “Sometimes it’s much easier to follow the flow than to go against the flow.” Then, he turned around and followed the flow of the energy.
The middle-aged man slapped his forehead. That was right! He just had to go with the flow! It was undoubtedly easier to move forward at the right time, following the flow.
The stone pillar spun crazily along with the vortex. At this time, another violent force swept out again, accompanied by energy seals. It was much stronger and fiercer than before.
Even the young cultivators standing outside of the formation were pushed back and had a difficult time keeping their eyes open.
Although the middle-aged man listened to Lu Zhou’s advice, he still had a hard time controlling his body. In just a second, he was blown up. His expression changed drastically. When he was a few meters up in the air…
Boom!
A loud expression rang in the air before the wind, the invisible force, and energy seals suddenly vanished.
Everyone looked over and saw Lu Zhou had slapped down on the stone pillar with one hand while the other was still resting on his back. His hand that was pressing down on the stone pillar emitted a faint light.
“Is that all?” Lu Zhou muttered to himself. The difficulty was still too low.
“…”
At this moment, the strange patterns on the stone pillar suddenly flew up into the sky one after another. As though they were forming a picture, soon after, a huge image appeared before everyone’s eyes.
Lu Qianshan was the first to react. He hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground. “The ancestor has shown himself. Lu Qianshan pays respect to Venerable Master Lu.”
The young cultivators were dumbfounded. However, since a Thousand Realms Whirling cultivator had humbled himself so, they could only follow suit.
“Greetings, Venerable Master Lu.”
The glowing image looked exactly like Lu Zhou.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly. They really resembled each other.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man’s eyes darted between the glowing image and Lu Zhou a few times before he cried out in disbelief, “No way! T-the Venerable Master has come back to life?!”
