Chapter 857: The Golden Astrolabe on Cloud Mountain

Lu Zhou felt relieved when he saw the Primal Qi surging into his avatar and there were no signs of it absorbing vitality energy.

“It looks like only the golden lotus has a shackle at the ninth leaf…”

Advancing to the tenth leaf did not require one’s lifespan. Meanwhile, activating the Birth Chart only required the life span from the Birth Chart Heart so one did not have to one’s lifespan. Apart from that, forming the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar also did not consume one’s lifespan.

Lu Zhou continued to look at the converging Primal Qi that was surging into his avatar in satisfaction. He watched the entire process attentively with a solemn expression on his face.

The avatar had absorbed a large amount of Primal Qi and had not stopped yet. Fortunately, he was on Cloud Mountain. The environment here was excellent, and it was most suitable for making a breakthrough in one’s cultivation.

As the Primal Qi continued to surge into the avatar, the avatar increased in size as well.

After learning from his previous mistake, Lu Zhou did not want to lose control of his avatar again. Therefore, every time his avatar grew, he would suppress a part of it. As a result, the avatar’s size remained about the same as his size.

Usually, when cultivators wanted to have a look at their avatars, they would manifest a miniature version of their avatars on their palms. However, in order to observe the changes on the lotus seat, Lu Zhou deliberately increased its size a little.

At this moment, the pattern in the Birth Palace did not have any significant change. Every time Primal Qi gathered and surged in, it would flash with light once in a while.

As time passed, the avatar continued to absorb the Primal Qi.

Lu Zhou could not help but wonder inwardly, ‘Will this attract powerful huge beasts similar to when one’s attempting the Nine-leaf stage?’

A cultivator sprouting the ninth leaf was like a piece of juicy meat for the beasts. How could it not attract the attention of huge and fierce beasts? Based on this, sprouting the tenth leaf or forming the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar should be an even bigger piece of juicy meat to the beasts.

However, he knew that when Nie Qingyun and the others sprouted the tenth leaf, they did not attract any fierce beasts. However, when he sprouted the tenth leaf, he had attracted a Birth Chart Beast! Would he attract an even more powerful Birth Chart Beast this time?

Lu Zhou shook his head, dismissing these thoughts. There was no point dwelling on them. It was better for him to concentrate on forming his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.

However, soon enough, his mind began to wander again.

Yu Chenshu had died. According to him, Sikong Beicheng was imprisoned under the Literary Star Gate in the Sky Martial Court.

If he could enter the Mystic Sky realm, he would be much more confident going to the Sky Martial Court.

Meanwhile, the Primal Qi in the sky grew denser and denser, and it continued to gather in this manner for an hour.

…

On a towering tree near Cloud Mountain.

“Second Junior Brother, I really didn’t know that your escape technique is so brilliant,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“The same can be said about you. Eldest Senior Brother, you’re far better than me in this regard. I have no choice but to admit defeat,” Yu Shangrong said before he tapped his feet lightly and jumped to another towering tree.

“Do you believe the rumors from the relay station in the capital?” Yu Zhenghai asked, catching up to Yu Shangrong in just a flash.

“Of course.” Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. “This has always been the way that master does things. If Yu Chenshu really set a trap in the Sky Wheel Range Mountain, it’s tantamount to seeking death.”

“However, Yu Chenshu’s cultivation base is unfathomable. Moreover, he has the support of the Sky Martial Court. Although he wasn’t at the Sky Martial Court, both of us still could not get close to it. This just shows that Yu Chenshu is not a simple person,” Yu Zhenghai said.

“Have you forgotten that Ye Zhen was a Ten-leaf karmic fire user with many lives before he died? Even Chen Beizheng, the Great General of the North, couldn’t withstand one palm strike from master.”

Yu Zhenghai nodded. “I’ve always been curious about how high master’s cultivation base is…”

At this moment, the duo stood side by side. They recalled the chaotic battle between them and their master back then. At that time, both of them only had eight leaves.

At that time, Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai had thought eight leaves was the limit of leaves one could sprout. However, even when the two of them worked together to fight their master, they were still defeated and injured.

In any case, the past should stay in the past.

Currently, their master could kill a Ten-leaf elite in just a blink of an eye. The speed at which their master’s cultivation base was rising was truly shocking.

“Back when the seven great sects besieged the Evil Sky Pavilion, master already possessed a Nine-leaf golden lotus. Just a few years have passed, but so many things have changed. We know now there’s the tenth leaf and also the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Yu Shangrong remained silent. His body seemed as light as a swallow as he flew into the sky. After a moment, he landed on the top of a tree and pointed at Cloud Mountain. “Eldest Senior Brother! He’s here!”

Yu Zhenghai arrived next to Yu Shangrong in just a flash and looked up.

Both of them saw a shocking scene.

On the third peak of Cloud Mountain, there was a golden astrolabe.

There were several circles on the astrolabe. Upon a closer look, it seemed like the inner and outer circles were intersected. At the same time, the circles were rotating as well. Apart from that, golden words could be vaguely seen on the astrolabe.

Due to the dense Primal Qi and the bad weather, the duo could only vaguely see the astrolabe.

“The Thousand Realms Whirling avatar?” Yu Zhenghai exclaimed in surprise.

“This is the astrolabe from the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar?” Yu Shangrong was equally as surprised.

“When I was a guest in the Ninth Temple, I remember seeing a drawing of the astrolabe on the wall. However, that astrolabe was red. This is a golden astrolabe,” Yu Zhenghai said.

Yu Shangrong smiled indifferently. “As expected, master has been a Mystic Sky Realm cultivator for a long time now…”

“No wonder, no wonder…” Yu Zhenghai sighed emotionally. “No wonder master was able to easily deal with those arrogant Ten-leaf cultivators with just one move. As it turns out, master has been hiding his strength for so long. Master really hid his strength well!”

…

Even on Cloud Mountain, one could only vaguely see the astrolabe.

Nie Qingyun and Li Yunzheng had returned to the main peak due to the violent wind so they missed this magnificent sight.

On the other hand, the Cloud Mountain disciples had low cultivation bases so they were unable to enjoy this amazing sight.

…

The astrolabe that was shrouded in fog floated on the third peak like a golden sun with characters and circles on it.

In the main hall, Lu Zhou was unaware of this. He was still staring at the avatar and lotus seat in front of him.

“Hm?” He discovered a new pattern had appeared in the Birth Palace on the lotus seat.

“The Birth Disk has appeared…”

“The Birth Palace contains the Birth Charts. Meanwhile, the 36 Birth Charts should be arranged according to the pattern on the piece of cloth. The Birth Disk is like the foundation that guides the astrolabe. Does it mean that once the astrolabe appears, the forming of the Thousand Realms Whirling avatar is complete?

Lu Zhou looked at the head of his avatar; there was no astrolabe behind it.

“Is it because I suppress its size?”

In just a flash, Lu Zhou withdrew his avatar and left the main hall.

The bad weather was beyond Lu Zhou’s expectations, but he did not pay attention to it. He quickly manifested his avatar.

Buzz!

A 250-foot avatar appeared in the sky before it began to increase in height.

260 feet.

270 feet.

In just a flash, it grew to 300 feet tall!

Lu Zhou flew up to the head of his avatar to have a look. He saw a huge golden astrolabe that was much bigger than his avatar’s head.

“This…” Lu Zhou inhaled sharply. He felt goosebumps erupting on his skin.

How could it be possible for him not to feel excited?

He flew to the front of the astrolabe. He saw four concentric circles on the surface of the golden astrolabe. The largest circle was about four times bigger than his avatar’s head. It formed a golden ring with the second circle. On the ring, there were 12 lines that were spaced apart exactly,

“A clock?” This was Lu Zhou’s first thought when he saw the twelve lines. There was a symbol in the space between each line.

Meanwhile, the second and third circles formed another circle, and the third and fourth circles formed a ring.

All in all, the four concentric circles formed three golden rings.

The Birth Palace was in the center of the astrolabe. 36 triangles arranged in clockwise position could be seen in the Birth Palace. He could also faintly see one faintly discernible Birth Chart.

From afar, it looked like a huge golden orb of light.

After he was done studying the astrolabe, Lu Zhou flew to the front of his avatar.

“Let’s see… The power of the Birth Chart,” Lu Zhou murmured to himself as he tried to use the Birth Chart’s power.

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, the Birth Chart on the astrolabe lit up before it shot out a powerful beam of energy light.

Since Lu Zhou was in its path, he hurriedly moved away.

Bang!

At this moment, the golden beam of light shone down, piercing the top of the main hall.

“…”
