Celestial Court, Celestial Sea Pavilion.
Li Zhengdao stood at the top of the palace, looking at the churning and changing sea of clouds in front of him with his hands clasped behind his back. No one knew what he was thinking.
The sea of clouds in front of him seemed boundless. Under the control of Heaven's formation, they kept churning and rolling, simulating the clouds of heaven and earth in different forms. Sometimes they looked like fish scales, sometimes they looked like lumps, and sometimes they looked like cotton.
Amidst the constant changes, lightning flashed from time to time, accompanied by wind and rain. Fog and snow also changed randomly.
This was the sea of clouds that Li Zhengdao had specially created to cultivate the Heavenly Cloud Sacred Technique. Looking at the ever-changing and unpredictable sea of clouds, the Primordial Divinity in his body seemed to become illusory and real, faintly discernible.
At this moment, a young girl wearing a light yellow shirt with a jade hairpin in her hair slowly walked over. She said in a mocking tone, "You lost to a mortal. You've really thrown away the face of the Heaven Division."
Li Zhengdao looked at her and did not speak immediately.
In Heaven, the only person who could talk to him like this was another Heavenly Lord of Heaven, Heavenly Lord Bi Wu.
Not only did this Heavenly Lord Bi Wu have a higher cultivation base than him, his position in the Celestial Court was also higher, and he was deeply trusted by Emperor God Hao Tian.
Li Zhengdao thought for a moment, then asked, "Does His Majesty have any orders?"
"How could Emperor God have time to care about such trivial matters?" Heavenly Lord Bi Wu asked, "What's going on with that Zhou Bai? Your message wasn't very clear. With your cultivation, how could you lose to a mortal? "
"Zhou Bai..." Li Zhengdao thought for a moment, but did not reveal the truth. Instead, he said after some deliberation, "He has a very deep grasp of the Void Energy. His words can distort minds, and even cause Void Pulses to seep into the material world, causing distortions..."
Li Zhengdao briefly described the ability Zhou Bai had displayed on the battlefield, but Heavenly Lord Bi Wu listened very seriously.
In the end, her eyes suddenly turned solemn, "This level of Void Energy is not to be underestimated. Why did you let him go? Don't tell me you really can't beat him? "
Although Bi Wu Heavenly Lord had initially teased Li Zhengdao about losing to a mortal, deep down, she did not really believe that a righteous god with a Dao Conversion rate close to 140% would lose to a mortal.
There must be a reason why Li Zhengdao retreated.
Li Zheng said, "Even when I retreated, I did not find the location of his true body.
Zhou Bai can remotely control others and turn them into his puppets to fight for him. He can also remotely summon his power and his doppelgangers. They're basically indistinguishable from the main body, and they can even use all kinds of Zhou Bai's abilities …
"Of course, I have the ability to destroy all the power he left behind, but I won't be able to hurt his body. Instead, if I come into contact with the void and the power of distortion too deeply, my Enlightenment will be lowered, and the gains will not make up for the losses."
Listening to Li Zhengdao's narration, Bi Wu Heavenly Lord nodded, agreeing with what he said. At the same time, she immediately felt how difficult it was to deal with Zhou Bai from his words. "Not using his main body, but sending his doppelgangers to fight from afar, it is indeed a headache-inducing method of fighting."
Li Zheng said, "The combat power that Zhou Bai displayed has far surpassed that of ordinary mortal cultivators. But actually, there is nothing to worry about in terms of raw power. The most troublesome thing is his fighting style that can't be guarded against. "
"Talking to him and reading his messages can distort one's mind."
"Talking to and communicating with those who are under his control and have their minds distorted by him can also cause one to fall into his trap."
"Going all out and killing his puppets or doppelgangers is the only thing that can be killed."
"On the contrary, if we, who are fighting him, are not careful during the battle, we can be mentally injured, or even deformed."
The more Bi Wu Heavenly Lord listened, the more she frowned. This Zhou Bai was like a hedgehog. His physical strength was not strong, but he could stab one's hand until it bled.
Dealing with this kind of enemy definitely had to be dealt with, but Bi Wu Heavenly Lord definitely did not want to deal with it himself.
At this moment, at the center of the Mi Luo Heavenly Palace, a golden light pillar soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it spread out, illuminating the entire heavenly palace and Central City.
The golden radiance shone down, making everyone who bathed in it feel comfortable.
Li Zhengdao was also bathed in this golden radiance. He even felt that the degree of Dao Conversion that he had lost this time, under the shroud of this golden radiance, was actually rising again.
He looked in the direction of the golden radiance in shock, "Is it His Majesty?"
"It's the Tai Hao 12 True Calamities. This supreme ultimate art should not be able to be used after the Tendo is distorted …" Bi Wu Heavenly Lord revealed a surprised expression, "His Majesty has finally comprehended the Tendo successfully? This time, we might be able to recover our cultivation. "
Li Zhengdao's expression turned solemn. He knew that ever since the Tendo was distorted, Emperor God Hao Tian had been comprehending the Tendo to recover his cultivation. He wanted to create a path that was suitable for immortals and gods to cultivate after the Tendo was distorted.
And now, Emperor God Hao Tian seemed to be showing signs of success.
At this moment, a majestic voice seemed to descend from the heavens, directly entering their ears.
As the voice descended, the entire world seemed to have fallen into silence. Everything in the world seemed to have disappeared before the eyes of the two Heavenly Lords. Only that voice was left in their consciousness.
"Bi An, Hao Ran, I have comprehended the Tendo and created the Tai Wei Nine Imperial Calculus. It can measure the Tendo. Cultivate well and strive to recover your cultivation as soon as possible."
As the words that Emperor God Hao Tian transmitted into their sea of consciousness, the two Heavenly Lords carefully recalled and searched their memories. They realized that they had unknowingly memorized a dao technique called the Tai Wei Nine Imperial Calculus.
The memory was so deep that it was as if they had studied and comprehended it for many years.
Li Zhengdao, who sensed this, was shocked, "Emperor God's magical power is becoming more and more unfathomable. Is the Tai Wei Nine Imperial Calculus going to be passed down to all the immortals and gods? I wonder how effective it will be. "
Then, he recalled the contents of the Tai Wei Nine Imperial Calculus and his expression changed abruptly.
"The world is going to change."
The attention of the two Heavenly Lords was instantly focused on Emperor God Hao Tian and the Tai Wei Nine Imperial Calculus.
They were thinking about what to do next, how to maximize their benefits, and how to gain more advantages in the new round of competition, to maintain their position as Heavenly Lords and to continue to stand at the top of the immortals and gods.
After experiencing the distortion of the Heavenly Dao, although they had worked hard to recover their cultivation over the past 100 years, most of the immortals and gods were only at the level of 110% to 140%. The gap between them could be said to be the smallest in history.
They could already imagine that once their cultivation could really start to recover quickly, the fourth department of the Celestial Court and the Island of Immortals would be reshuffled.
As Heavenly Lords, although they were not afraid, they would definitely take it seriously.
No one would be willing to be stepped on in this new round of competition.
As for Zhou Bai, they were not too concerned about him.
Once their cultivation recovered, to them, people like Zhou Bai could be destroyed with a flip of their palm.
…
In West Peak City, the ten immortals stood in different directions, each with their own subordinates behind them.
Boundless primordial spirit power spread in the air, as though even the space was about to be torn apart.
It had been many years since ten Immortals and Gods went to war together. At this moment, when their slightly dispersed power and aura overlapped with each other, it was enough to make all the humans within a radius of several miles tremble in fear, and they would not be able to summon the slightest will to resist.
Sky Demon Tu stood behind his father, Tu Gui Shen, and did not dare to raise his head. He kept his head down, as though he was counting ants.
He could not help but think, "Cultivators with the heart of the strong, even if bathed in the aura of these ten immortals, will still straighten their backs, relax their pride, and never yield."
"But right now, I want nothing more than to kneel on the ground and kowtow to these big shots."
Sky Demon Tu lamented in his heart, "The difference between immortals and mortals is too great. I'm just a down-to-earth weakling, so why was I captured to participate in this kind of battle? Ordinary weaklings would probably become cannon fodder in a battle like this. "
"Fortunately, I'm not an ordinary weakling, but the head of the 36 Itinerant Immortals, Tu Gui's son. I should be fine, right?"
With a mind full of uneasiness and all kinds of speculations, he raised his head and looked to the other side. He saw a young girl with long black hair sitting on a lounge chair. Her bare feet were swinging casually, and the bells on her feet were ringing crisply as she swung them.
It was none other than the Plague Division's Heavenly Lord of Death Pestilence. Behind him was the Heavenly Lord of Death Pestilence's daughter, Death Cloud. She had also participated in the Daluo Major's sparring session and fought against Zhou Bai.
Although Heavenly Lord of Death Plague was very good-looking, Sky Demon Tu didn't dare to look at him for too long. He turned his eyes to the other side and saw Thunder Division's Nine Heavens Marshal Fan Ming.
Together with his father, Tu Gui, and the highest commander of this battle, Xiang Tiandi, they were the four strongest immortals here.
In the north, Xiang Tiandi lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Have you seen the battle report from Donghua City?"
The news from Donghua City had already spread to Xiyue City. As the higher-ups of the Celestial Court, the immortals here knew far more than mortals.
After all, the parties involved, Li Zhengdao and Myriad Star Immortal, had to report to the Celestial Court.
Naturally, they knew the whole situation of the battle better than outsiders.
Yan Zhenjun couldn't help but say, "Li Xiuzhu, Jiaojiao, and Zhou Bai forced Heavenly Lord Haoran and Myriad Star Immortal to retreat together. It seems that the three of them have joined forces. I'm afraid that we will also encounter them when we encircle the Sky-toppling Sect this time."
"But fortunately, the ability of the Blood Killing Sword has been exposed."
Now that the ten immortals had descended to Xiyue City, the entire city and Supreme Sword Pavilion had been completely suppressed. The entire city basically operated according to the will of the ten immortals.
A large number of people were sent out to capture spies from the Sky-toppling Sect in the city and to search for the remains of the Sky-toppling Sect in the wilderness.
With the capture and search at all costs, more than ten strongholds of the Sky-toppling Sect in the wilderness were wiped out in one go.
After that, the Sky-toppling Sect chose to shrink its forces. However, as the Celestial Court continued to narrow down the search area, the headquarters of the Sky-toppling Sect was also about to be exposed.
Hearing Yan Zhenjun's words, Immortal Ming Yue sneered and said, "You lost the Blood Killing Sword. Fortunately, it wasn't a world-destroying mutated weapon. Otherwise, the destruction of the world and the destruction of the people would all be on you."
A cold light flashed in Yan Zhenjun's eyes. He glanced at Immortal Ming Yue and didn't continue speaking. After all, he was indeed in the wrong for the Blood Killing Sword being stolen.
Tu Gui said, "I've seen the battle report. Zhou Bai's ability is not to be underestimated. Although his cultivation level isn't as high as ours, his ability is too strange and almost impossible to guard against. Coupled with his various puppets and clones, he's even more difficult to deal with. "
The ten immortals present all had solemn expressions. Although they were usually high and mighty and ruled over the human race, none of them were lacking in battle experience. However, none of them were lacking in combat experience. Faced with Zhou Bai's abilities, all of them displayed vigilance and took him seriously.
Sky Demon Tu was even more shocked. The news of Zhou Bai hadn't officially spread in Xiyue City, so this was the first time he knew that Heavenly Monarch Hao Ran had been defeated. Seeing that the immortals present were actually taking Zhou Bai so seriously and discussing ways to deal with Zhou Bai, he was incomparably shocked.
He couldn't help but think, 'A mortal … can also pose such a huge threat to immortals?'
It wasn't just him. The other human cultivators standing behind the immortals were also serious about this news. It was simply refreshing.
Nine Firmaments Marshal Fan Ming was a man wearing armor and his entire face was covered by a mask. He said, "Zhou Bai's ability is indeed strange and difficult to guard against. Even True Lord Zi Yang has been deformed. If we're not careful and get hit by his ability, I'm afraid it won't be good for us.
"I suggest that from today onwards, we seal our five senses and use magic treasures to sense the physical world. This is to prevent us from being ambushed by Zhou Bai in the process of eliminating the Heaven-Defying Sect."
All the immortals present chose to agree. Almost all of them had experienced the war between humans and demons and knew the cruelty of battle very well. They would look down on the human race, but they wouldn't let their guard down during battle. Instead, they would pay attention to any variables.
Then, they discussed the following arrangements for encircling the Heaven-Defying Sect. Finally, Xiang Tiandi said, "Today, His Majesty God Emperor comprehended Tendo and created the Supreme Palace Nine Heavens Calculation. It can calculate the mysteries of cultivation and help us recover our cultivation."
Hearing Xiang Tiandi's words, everyone's attention was instantly attracted.
Xiang Tiandi sighed inwardly, "This really isn't the right time. This encirclement and annihilation of the Heaven-Defying Sect will probably be full of twists and turns again."
He could already predict that in the following days, the immortals would definitely read, study, and comprehend the mysteries of the Supreme Palace Nine Heavens Calculation. They would focus on recovering their cultivation.
Fortunately, there were ten immortals. Even if they took turns to cultivate and fight, it would be enough to crush the Heaven-Defying Sect.
Overwhelming combat power could be so willful.
…
Seven days later, in the Sky Demon Base, rows of mechanical dependents were entangled together and flying around in the workshop. As the tentacles kept contracting and moving, they were carrying out various mechanical modifications and assembly.
Zhou Bai checked the overall situation and nodded in satisfaction.
These days, he had been presiding over the restoration and modification plan of the mechanical dependents. A new mechanical army was slowly being born.
And in front of him, there were 108 dragon scales taken from the Azure Dragon's corpse.
He was planning to use these dragon scales to strengthen his Ultimate Heaven Skeleton Armor.
Back then, in addition to Level 3 Greedy Steel, which was comparable to a ninth-realm magic treasure, the Ultimate Heaven Skeleton Armor also required mutant blood essence, 108 True Dragon Reverse Scales, a complete Kun Peng Soul, and nine ninth-realm elixirs.
With the help of Jiaojiao and the elders, Zhou Bai met the requirements for the mutant blood essence. However, he had not obtained the other three until the battle of Donghua City. Li Xiuzhu took away the big demon Zhu Yan, and he obtained the corpse of the Azure Dragon.
