When Su Zimo and Night Spirit returned to Great Zhou from Gu Sect, they passed by some ancient cities that were originally part of Great You. However, they discovered that the flags of Great Zhou had been changed one after another!
Some of the vassal states of Great You submitted as well.
Su Zimo specially took a detour and entered the territories of Great Xia and Great Shang.
He discovered that the situation was not only limited to the territory of Great You. Many vassal states of Great Xia and Great Shang had submitted as well!
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and guessed the reason.
The calamity of the Witchcraft Gu this time round caused the living beings of the North Region to suffer.
In particular, the impact on the four dynasties was immense and many vassal states were destroyed as a result.
As for the four dynasties, they were also in a precarious situation because of this calamity.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had Su Zimo and his sister. In the battle in the capital, they suppressed most of the cultivation forces of the three dynasties!
The emperors of the three dynasties had already stayed in the capital of Great Zhou and swore oaths to bow down to the Empress of Great Zhou, Ji Yaoxue.
After this news was spread, the three dynasties were bound to fall into chaos!
Coupled with the calamity of the Witchcraft Gu, the three dynasties collapsed rapidly.
At that moment, Xiaoning made a move and countless cultivators of Great Zhou headed to various parts of Great Zhou's territory to summon rain and rain to resolve the calamity of the Witchcraft Gu.
The name of the Fairy Doctor spread throughout the North Region!
Naturally, the vassal states of the three dynasties submitted one after another.
Once such a situation erupted, even if the three dynasties had the Dharma Daojun holding down the fort, it would be useless.
"That's good as well,"
Looking at the ground beneath his feet, Su Zimo murmured softly.
If the Great Zhou Dynasty could make use of this opportunity to annex the other three dynasties and form a new dynasty, there would be fewer wars in the North Region.
That was a good thing for all living beings in the world.
After the calamity of the Witchcraft Gu, the living beings of the North Region needed a chance to recuperate and could no longer endure the flames of war.
After returning to the Great Zhou Dynasty's Royal City, Su Zimo met with Ji Yaoxue.
That day, he had arrived in time to resolve the crisis of the Great Zhou Empire, and then rushed to Misty Peak. The two of them did not have time to talk.
Just as Su Zimo had expected, although Ji Yaoxue was a woman, she was not inferior to men. Her heart was filled with mountains and rivers!
She did not let go of this opportunity. She planned out her strategy and decided victory from a thousand miles away. She befriended those far away and attacked those near. She worked together and continuously swallowed up the territories of the three great dynasties.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had finally reached its peak under her rule!
Xiaoning continued to refine elixirs in the capital.
The destruction of Ten Thousand Gu Swamp was the same as cutting off the source of Gu worms.
Over the past month, the Witchcraft Gu disaster had already stabilized. She no longer needed to refine pills day and night without rest.
Ning's condition is getting better.
Su Zimo returned to Misty Peak to catch up with old friends like the old immortal crane and Nien Qi.
There were not many old friends left from back then.
Even Su Zimo's first master, the disheveled old man of Weapon Peak, passed away on Weapon Peak after his lifespan was depleted a few years ago.
However, even at the end of his life, the disheveled old man had a smile on his face.
Every disciple of Misty Peak knew that the number one of the Phenomenon Ranking, the once invincible monster incarnate of the North Region, Su Zimo, was his disciple!
Although Ethereal Peak had suffered some losses after that battle, it was clear that they had become stronger!
This was equivalent to being reborn from the ashes after surviving two calamities!
Right now, Nien Qi was still the one with the greatest potential in Misty Peak.
Nien Qi possessed the bloodline of the Protoss and had a long lifespan.
Even though more than a hundred years had passed, Nien Qi did not seem to have changed much as she stood quietly behind Su Zimo like a young girl.
After Nien Qi advanced to the Void Reversion realm, her status in Misty Peak was second only to the old immortal crane.
She was extremely beautiful and possessed terrifying combat strength that could even fight against the old immortal crane. As such, she was crowned as the goddess of Misty Peak by many disciples!
During this period of time, Su Zimo's return broke the hearts of many Misty Peak disciples.
That was because the sacred and inviolable goddess in their hearts was actually following Su Zimo around daily like a maidservant, doing chores that a child should do.
In the eyes of many disciples, this was a blasphemy against the goddess!
However, Nien Qi was indifferent.
In her heart, Su Zimo had an extremely important position that nobody could replace!
This time round, Su Zimo was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he entered seclusion in Misty Peak and continued cultivating.
Firstly, he was worried that some sect or faction would come looking for trouble with the Great Zhou Dynasty or Misty Peak.
After all, in the Witch Gu calamity, not only did he and Night Spirit kill the young master of the Witch race and the blind old man, they even killed the Dharma Daojun of Dragon Tiger Sect and more than a hundred Void Reversions here!
Secondly, he had been tempered by the primordial divine spring in Gu Sect and Qinglian's true body had yet to refine all the energy in the divine spring.
If he could refine all the energy, he might be able to cultivate to the peak of late-stage Void Reversion realm!
…
A year later.
Misty Peak.
Su Zimo broke out of seclusion. At the entrance of his cave abode, a flawless young girl stood there. Her eyes were blue, her nose was straight and her skin was smooth like a porcelain doll.
"Young Master."
The young girl called out crisply – it was Nien Qi.
"Young Master, your cultivation has improved again."
Nien Qi shifted his gaze and swept it across Su Zimo. He could sense that Su Zimo's aura had risen tremendously in just a year!
"Yes,"
Su Zimo smiled gently and nodded.
As he had expected, he had already absorbed the power of the divine spring that was fused into Qinglian's true body in a year and his cultivation had already reached the peak of late-stage Void Reversion realm!
He was only a step away from breaking through to the perfected Void Reversion realm!
"Did anything happen in Great Zhou in the past year?"
Standing in front of his cave abode, Su Zimo looked down at the mountains and forests beneath him and asked softly.
"Nothing much,"
Nien Qi said, "The Great Xia, Great You and Great Shang dynasties have been completely destroyed. Great Zhou has already annexed the territories of the three dynasties and its strength is still rising!"
"Alright,"
Su Zimo nodded.
After pondering for a moment, he asked again, "Did the Dharma Daojun of the three dynasties appear? Did the descendants of their royal families try to take revenge?"
For the past year, he had been guarding Misty Peak.
The reason why Night Spirit was guarding the capital of Great Zhou was because he was worried that something like this would happen!
"No,"
Nien Qi shook his head. "This is the trend of the times. Even if they're indignant, it's useless. There were almost no obstacles in the process of annexing the three dynasties. It can be said that the people have their hearts set on it. "
"Is there any news from Dragon Tiger Sect?"
Su Zimo asked again.
"Nothing either,"
Nien Qi shook his head.
Pausing for a moment, as though she recalled something, she suddenly said, "By the way, I heard that there will be a grand gathering in the cultivation world of the North Region in a few days called the North Region Dao Meet."
"The reason why it's called a Dao Meet is because those who can participate in it are all Void Reversions of the North Region and Dharma Daojun! It's said that the ten upper sects of the North Region and the various cultivation aristocratic families will be present as well. "
