With the 10,000 times increase in speed, Lu Zhou's lifespan was greatly reduced.

Based on Lu Zhou's earlier plan, he had planned to complete the activation of his Birth Charts between one month and half a year.

Increasing the speed to 10,0000 times for a month meant that more than 800 years were lost.

At this time, Lu Zhou stopped meditating on the Heavenly Writing. He studied the blue avatar. He was activating his final three Birth Charts, after all. They were crucial, and he could not be careless.

After that, he checked his lifespan and thought it was still acceptable. Then, he used the Purple Glazed Ceramic, which would not cost him his lifespan, to aid in the activation of Birth Charts.

After observing for a moment and confirming there was no problem, Lu Zhou planned to meditate on the Heavenly Writing again.

During this time, no one came to the eastern pavilion to disturb him. Although it was due to his order, he still could not help but feel slightly worried about the matters in the outside world. Hence, he silently chanted the mantra for the power of sight.

Unexpectedly, instead of his disciples, he saw rivers, mountains, and the beautiful scenery of the Great Void.

"Huh? Is the system changing and declining?" Lu Zhou frowned as he recalled the previous system notifications he received.

"Forget it."

Lu Zhou cut off the power of sight before he decided to absorb the four power cores. He brought his golden lotus out and looked at the sun-like cores. He still found it a little unbelievable that the golden avatar was now a supreme avatar with two light disks. Once he formed another light disk, he would step into the realm of a divine king.

He was not certain if it was due to the effects of the Pillar of Impermanence and the Purple Glazed Ceramic, but when he absorbed the power cores, its speed was not astonishingly fast, but the speed of energy surging out was very fast.

The golden stream of energy flowing out of the power cores was dazzling. It flowed out onto the lotus seat and merged with it. Then, its light would grow brighter, overlapping with the light disks.

At the same time, the light disks grew a little larger as well.

"I'm on my third power core now…"

At this time, Lu Zhou suddenly thought of a problem. After he completely absorbed the four power cores, his cultivation speed would no longer be as fast. He had to solve this problem.

He thought about his time in the abyss and the merit stone.

'If the Unholy One could reach the peak of the cultivation world, I should be able to do as well. In fact, the process should be even smoother…'

Buzz!

At this time, Lu Zhou saw that the spinning speed of his blue lotus suddenly increase.

"Hm?"

Lu Zhou was puzzled. He hurriedly looked at his system interface.

-100 days

-200 days

-300 days

The speed at which his lifespan was decreasing had increased by many times as well.

'Why is this happening now? It should happen at the end. Is the activation of the final three Birth Charts much easier than I imagined?'

…

Over the next two days, Lu Zhou carefully observed the changes of the blue lotus. Soon, he discovered the problem. The problem was not related to the 10,000 times increase in speed; it was just that the final three Birth Charts of the blue avatar consumed a lot of years.

Lu Zhou felt uneasy immediately. 'I won't be sucked dry by this blue avatar, right? Otherwise, I'll be the cultivator to die the most futile death since ancient times. The Unholy One's path really isn't easy to walk. I even risked being sucked dry by the blue avatar. I have to be on guard…'

Since it was a unique path, Lu Zhou had no one to talk to about this.

"The Scripture of Sermons? The Unholy One's painting?" Lu Zhou thought about the two of the Unholy One's items in his possession, wondering if they would help.

The Unholy One's painting contained the power to activate the four power cores while the Scripture of Sermons contained insights about laws and cultivation.

Lu Zhou brought the Scripture of Sermons out before he placed his hand on it and extended a strand of his consciousness into it.

A familiar scene appeared immediately.

He found himself floating in a dark place. He could not see anything, and he could not touch anything. At the same time, the Unholy One's voice echoed in his ears.

Lu Zhou cast the Heavenly Writing's powers to heighten his senses as he flew forward, following the voice.

"The place where the Unholy One's consciousness is stored in the scripture should be at the end of this voice…"

From the time Lu Zhou obtained the Scripture of Sermons, he had not properly explored it. Perhaps, he could find the answer regarding the blue avatar here.

Lu Zhou continued to fly in the darkness. He moved forward fearlessly. He did not know how long he had flown, but he still did not see any light.

The Unholy One's voice kept ringing in his ears, and he seemed to be getting closer and closer.

"Continue," Lu Zhou told himself before speeding up.

In this environment, Lu Zhou's concept of time was very poor. He could not tell how long he had flown or how much time passed. He only felt that he must have flown very far and that a long time had passed.

…

In the sky above the Heavenly Moat in the golden lotus domain.

A circle of light appeared in the air.

All the cultivators in the nearby cities looked up immediately.

One after another, supreme avatars descended from the circle of light.

In the end, ten supreme avatars occupied the sky above the Heavenly Moat.

Needless to say, the cultivators were shocked by this sight.

There were some cultivators who were unafraid. Upon seeing the miraculous sight, they flew over, intending to greet the visitors politely.

There were rumors swirling in the Great Void about the migration plan being underway. With the Saint Sky Pavilion as the golden lotus domain's representative, Great Yan would be accepting those from the Great Void.

"Are they cultivators from the Great Void who are here to take refuge in the golden lotus domain?"

"I don't know, but their avatars are too powerful. With such strength, is there a need for them to take refuge here? Just how big is the crisis in the Great Void?"

"It's said that the Pillars of Destruction are collapsing so the Great Void will soon collapse as well… Apparently, the laws or the Dao might be affected. At that time, cultivators would be no different from ants…"

At this time, about a dozen golden lotus cultivators arrived near the Heavenly Moat. They bowed to the ten experts in the sky.

"We weren't expecting you to come to the golden lotus domain. Sorry for not welcoming you earlier…"

The ten cultivators from the Great Void surveyed their surroundings before they looked at the weak golden lotus cultivators in front of them. After putting away their avatars, the one in the middle asked calmly, "Is this the golden lotus domain?"

"Indeed, this is the golden lotus domain. It's an honor to welcome all of you to the golden lotus domain as guests. As ordered by the Saint Sky Pavilion, you'll all be given the best treatment and living conditions in the golden lotus domain. However, in exchange, you'll have to help us fend off the fierce beasts from the Unknown Land," the golden lotus cultivator said.

The cultivator in the middle sneered. "What nonsense plan are you talking about? Do you think it's worthy of our participation?"

The golden lotus cultivator said, "It's a plan by the Saint Sky Pavilion. Even if you don't like it, there's no need to slander it…"

"Cut the crap. Let me ask you. Where's the Evil Sky Pavilion?"

"The Evil Sky Pavilion?" The golden lotus cultivator frowned. "Please pay attention to your form of address. Please address it rightfully as the Saint Sky Pavilion. Otherwise, it's a disrespect not only to the Saint Sky Pavilion, but to the people from the golden lotus domain as well."

The cultivator from the Great Void scoffed. He looked to the left and right before he said, "The humans here are too pedantic. They're also heavily brainwashed. No wonder the Unholy One managed to survive here…"

The other Great Void cultivator could not be bothered with the small fries. He only asked, "As you wish. Where's the Saint Sky Pavilion?"

The golden lotus cultivator asked, "Do you want to visit Senior Ji? He's not returned for a long time. Even if you go there, I'm afraid you won't be able to meet him."

The Great Void cultivators looked at each other, finding it difficult to communicate with the people here. After a while, one of them asked again, "What I'm asking is the location of the Saint Sky Pavilion."

"Golden Court Mountain." The golden cultivator looked reverent as he pointed at the distance.

"Thank you."

With that, the ten Great Void cultivators flew toward Golden Court Mountain.

Upon seeing this, the golden lotus cultivators called out in unison, "Hey! Hey!"

Alas, the Great Void cultivators' speed was too fast, and they had already flown a distance away in just one breath.

"Senior Ji is really awesome. Even the Great Void sent ten powerhouses to greet him…"

…

Lu Zhou's strand of consciousness was still flying in the Scripture of Sermons.

He did not know how much time had passed before he finally saw a small and distant light.

'A single spark can cause a prairie fire…'

Lu Zhou's mood improved a little, and he hastened his speed.

Buzz!

A translucent figure suddenly appeared in front of the light. His white hair fluttered in the wind, and his beard and eyebrows were long. He wore a Taoist robe, and he stood with his hands on his back. His eyes were profound and spirited as he muttered, "Preaching? What bullsh*t is that?!"

"I found it," Lu Zhou said as he arrived in front of the figure. It should be a projection left behind by the Unholy One.

Lu Zhou called out, "Unholy One?"

The Unholy One looked ahead, his eyes were unfocused as he said, "The cultivation path can lead to immortality in tens of thousands of ways… The Ten Great Dao can form the ultimate light disk! Power core… Power core… Power core… Even if you have the power to become a supreme being, you don't have the power to break the shackles… "
