The remaining two did not need beast emperors’ life hearts, beast kings’ life hearts would suffice.

Currently, the region for the Great Birth Chart had yet to open. It was useless even if Lu Zhou had beast emperors’ life hearts.

During the time in the Unknown Land, Lu Zhou had obtained many beast kings’ life hearts. When he needed them, he could just take two from Mingshi Yin.

What Lu Zhou needed now was time.

Instead of cultivating, Lu Zhou decided to observe his disciples. Naturally, he did not need to observe his disciples in the southern training hall.

Zhu Honggong was still bedridden, recuperating from his injuries.

Ye Tianxin was still quietly cultivating in the White Tower Council. When she was not cultivating, she would go for a stroll with Cheng Huang.

Duanmu Sheng was in the Evil Sky Pavilion and spent most of his time sparring with Lu Wu. He was improving rapidly.

The four elders lived a carefree life. They discussed the Dao every day before they cultivated. The speed of their improvement could not compare to his disciples who had Great Void Seeds, but that was to be expected.

Pan Zhong, Zhou Jifeng, and the guardians’ speed of improvement were a little slow as well.

Finally, Lu Zhou discovered Si Wuya had been behaving strangely so he had been observing Si Wuya for three days in a row.

At this moment, in the Sky Martial Academy, Si Wuya who had just put away the ancient sheepskin map shook his head.

“Mr. Seventh, my sword…” a voice rang from outside.

Si Wuya interjected, “You can look for Wang Dachui. There’s no need to bother me with this.”

“Mr. Seventh, this is all your fault. You told me to look for you directly.”

A figure jumped in through the windowsill.

Si Wuya asked, “Did you find anything regarding that matter I asked you to investigate?”

“Of course! Do you know who I am? I’m Jiang Aijian. With my sword, I’m invincible!” Jiang Aijian said as he flipped his hair.

“Speaking of which, you’ve been staying in Penglai Island all this time. Did you go to Great Yan to have a look?” Si Wuya asked.

Jiang Aijian scratched his head. “Who says I’ve only been staying in Penglai?”

“So is there any movement in Penglai?” Si Wuya asked with a smile.

“Is this what you wanted me to investigate or did you want to come here and personally deliver this letter to you? Is this enough?” Jiang Aijian said as he tossed a letter out after leaning against the table. Then, he continued to say, “The Penglai Island is quite stable. With the imbalance, the water level rose quite a bit. Anyway, about 30,000 miles to the east, there’s Mount Halcyon just as you said. I almost got lost in the Endless Ocean because of you. You have to make it up to me.”

“Thank you,” Si Wuya said as he nodded in satisfaction, “I’ll give you a fire spirit stone to upgrade Dragonsong.”

Jiang Aijian’s eyes lit up immediately. “Good, good, very good!”

Jiang Aijian then changed the topic, tentatively asking, “How do you know Mount Halcyon is located 30,000 east of here?”

Si Wuya said, “I can’t explain it.”

“Well, try to explain it,” Jiang Aijian said.

“My knowledge is far greater than yours. You won’t understand even if I explain it,” Si Wuya said.

“…”

Jiang Aijian said with a frown, “I investigated the mountain on my own initiative as well. It used to be the habitat of Halcyon Birds. No one knew why the Halcyon Birds left.”

Si Wuya raised an eyebrow, looking slightly surprised. “Indeed.”

“If you know that, why are you investigating it?”

“I’m curious,” Si Wuya replied expressionlessly.

“How boring.” Seeing Si Wuya did not intend to say more, Jiang Aijian could only leave and look for Wang Dachui.

…

After cutting off the power of sight, Lu Zhou recalled the scene when the Halcyon Divine Bird appeared at the White Tower Council.

“Does Si Wuya have something to do with the Halcyon Bird?” Lu Zhou muttered to himself when he recalled Si Wuya’s strange behavior. However, due to his trust in Si Wuya, this matter did not bother him.

He decided to focus on his cultivation instead. It was imperative that he become a Venerable Master as soon as possible.

Although the imbalance had worsened, fortunately, there were not many conflicts in the domains. Due to the delicate balance between humans and fierce beasts, a delicate balance had also formed between foes.

With the Purple Glazed Ceramic and the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence, Lu Zhou immersed himself in his cultivation.

…

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong would spend most of their time cultivating under the effect of the Pillar of Impermanence as well. When Little Zhou and Little Wu came to look for them, they would leave the range of the Pillar of Impermanence.

Little Yuan’er and Conch had also been seriously cultivating.

Day after day, their routines remained the same.

As the host, Qin Renyue would visit Lu Zhou every once in a while to discuss the power of the Dao. However, Lu Zhou was in closed-door cultivation so he could only exchange insight with Mingshi Yin to guide Mingshi Yin. There were many talents in the Evil Sky Pavilion, but his attitude was the best toward Mingshi Yin. It was so obvious that it was not a secret at all.

…

Winter left, and spring arrived; spring left, and autumn arrived before autumn left and made way for winter again. This cycle went on for five years in just a blink of an eye.

…

In a quiet room in the southern training hall.

Click!

Lu Zhou heard a crisp noise from his Dantian’s sea of Qi. This indicated that he was about to break through.

He opened his eyes and swallowed, discovering that his mouth and throat were dry.

The sunlight streamed into the room from the windowsill.

The breeze stirred up the yellow leaves outside, a sign that autumn was arriving.

When Lu Zhou stopped cultivating, he felt like he had woken up from a long sleep. When he looked at the ground, he saw a thin layer of dust. Apart from that, the room was free from spiderwebs, rot, and strange smells.

Lu Zhou waved his hand as a gentle wave of energy swept out, clearing the dust in just a blink of an eye.

“Ten days to half a month should’ve passed…”

Lu Zhou called up the system face and looked at his remaining lifespan.

Remaining lifespan: 6,188,731(16,460 years)

“I lost 500 years?!” Lu Zhou was stunned. According to the years he lost and increased speed by 100 times, it meant that five years had passed.

“Five years…” This was beyond Lu Zhou’s expectations. He did not expect so much time would pass during his closed-door cultivation.

“Old Fourth…” Lu Zhou called out softly.

…

On a mountain peak 300 meters away from the southern training hall.

A shocked expression appeared on Mingshi Yin’s face before he said, “Venerable Master Qin, let’s talk another day. I think my master has just come out from his closed-door cultivation.”

Qin Renyue was delighted by this. “Brother Lu has come out from his closed-door cultivation? That’s great. I’ll come with you.”

With that, the two of them flashed and arrived in front of Lu Zhou’s room.

“Greetings, master.”

“Brother Lu, it’s been a long time.”

Lu Zhou said in an even tone, “Come in.”

The two of them entered the training hall.

Qin Renyue looked around and sensed the traces left behind by the Pillar of Impermanence. “No wonder their cultivation speed is so swift! As it turns out, it’s due to the Pillar of Impermanence. The pillar has both advantages and disadvantages. Brother Lu is truly bold to dare to cultivate near the pillar.”

After all, cultivating with the Pillar of Impermanence was like exchanging one’s life for cultivation.

“It’s just 500 years of life… That’s nothing. Those years will pass with just a snap of a finger,” Lu Zhou said.

Qin Renyue said, “I’m enlightened.”

“Master, why did you call me here? What are your orders?” Mingshi Yin asked.

Lu Zhou shifted his gaze to Mingshi Yin. He could clearly feel that Mingshi Yin’s aura had changed. It was reserved and filled with vigor. Clearly, his fourth disciple had improved greatly over the past five years.. On the contrary, he had spent the last five years stabilizing his realm.
