Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
Zhou Tong, who had been training in the orthodox [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens] to perfect his divine body, opened his eyes.
"In three months, all the flaws in my divine body have been fixed. In fact, even my divine body itself has improved greatly. In another month, the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens] will break through to the eleventh stage," Zhou Tong said to himself.
The rate at which one could train in the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens] was determined by the strength of one's soul. The more powerful one's soul was, the more clearly one would be able to sense the Solar Star and the Lunar Star. When training, one would be able to absorb as much Yin and Yang energy from these two supreme stars to advance.
Given the current strength of Zhou Tong's soul, he would be able to master the Wanxiang level [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens] in half a year.
If it hadn't been for the fact that he had spent so much time improving his divine body, he would've been able to reach the eleventh stage in these three months, or even close to the twelfth.
"Next, it's time to return to the Raindragon Guard!" Zhou Tong rose to his feet, leaving the temporary abode he had been using for the past three months. He immediately headed towards the Raindragon Guard's camp.
He moved extremely quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he flew past the mountains and returned to the camp.
Because Zhou Tong had only killed Primal Diremonsters, he had traveled the furthest. By the time Zhou Tong returned, many cultivators had already returned.
He could see that many cultivators had looks of confidence and joy on their faces. Clearly, they had completed the test. However, some cultivators had grim looks on their faces. It was very likely that not only had they not completed the test, their magic treasures had even been damaged. There were also some whose auras were weak. Clearly, they had been injured by Diremonsters.
"This Xiantian Fiendgod named Zhou Tong has returned? Why don't I see any signs of battle on his body? "
"Could it be that he's so afraid of death that he found a dangerous place to hide for three months?"
"Haha, a Xiantian Fiendgod like him? In the past few months, we've all encountered him or heard some news about him, but this fellow seems to have evaporated into thin air. We can't find him at all. Legend has it that the innate gods are warlike, but that must be fake! "
Many cultivators who did not know the truth looked at Zhou Tong. Many of them were even secretly mocking him, finding him an eyesore. After all, most of the people here were humans. As for a Connate Godfiend like Zhou Tong, he was of a different race from them. Naturally, they looked down on him.
However, it was obvious that some people in the crowd knew something. They were shocked.
"I saw him enter the territory of an Essence Soul realm great demon with my own eyes. After that, there were consecutive explosions of raging flames. He must have been fighting. He was fighting against an Essence Soul realm great demon!"
"Are all innate gods that strong? He is actually unscathed after fighting an Essence Soul realm demon? "
Anyone who knew that Zhou Tong had entered the territory of an Essence Soul realm great demon was shocked. His strength was clearly the best among all the participants.
Many cultivators even wanted to get close to him.
However, Zhou Tong ignored all of them. He casually found a rock and sat down cross-legged, quietly comprehending the cultivation techniques he obtained from the Heavenly Immortal's mansion.
Although many of the cultivation techniques were low-level, the principles they contained were not necessarily bad.
This was especially so for these cultivation techniques. In the eyes of others, they might only be cultivation techniques. However, in Zhou Tong's eyes, they were indeed cultivation techniques that complemented the cultivation system and broadened the path of cultivation.
By comprehending these cultivation techniques, Zhou Tong gained a deeper understanding of this world's cultivation system.
Time passed by bit by bit. Soon, all the cultivators who had participated in the assessment had returned.
At that moment, a cultivator guarding the teleportation array said, "This time, only 33 people returned alive. It's less than I expected. The quality of these participating cultivators is getting worse and worse. "
He swept his gaze across everyone. From their expressions, he could roughly determine whether they had met the requirements to complete the mission.
He thought to himself, "In the past, the survival rate was usually around 50%. This is the lowest in a hundred years. And judging from their expressions, there are probably not many who have met the requirements. "
In the end, the person said, "Then this group of people can return now. If they can acquire the head of a Wanxiang Diremonster, they can immediately join our Raindragon Guard."
As he spoke, his gaze locked onto Zhou Tong. He thought to himself, "A Xiantian Fiendgod. His aura is thicker than before. Can it be that he's been training for the past three months? But isn't this rate of training a bit too fast? Is a Xiantian Fiendgod really that terrifyingly talented? "
The legends of Xiantian Fiendgods had always been circulating throughout the world of the Grand Xia. Many people had grown up listening to the stories of Xiantian Fiendgods. However, there were very few who had actually seen a Xiantian Fiendgod.
"Enter the teleportation array and return to the Crimson Dragon Mountains!" The person gave the final order.
Soon, the remaining 33 people entered the teleportation array. With a flash of light, the group was teleported back to the Crimson Dragon Mountains.
When the group walked out of the teleportation array, they just happened to see a large flying ship descend, led by a woman with a face as cold as ice.
"A Void-level Earth Immortal …" Zhou Tong had a rough idea of this person's cultivation level.
The iceberg-like Earth Immortal flew out of the large ship and said coldly, "Those who didn't get anything can leave now. The rest of you, take out the heads of the Wanxiang Realm great demons you obtained for me to identify!"
Her voice was cold and she didn't say much. Once she spoke, it was as if she was giving orders.
However, no one dared to say anything. Many people who didn't complete the mission immediately retreated, while the remaining people took out the heads of the great demons they had hunted.
There weren't many cultivators who could take out the heads. Only thirteen of them.
The woman released her divine sense and invaded the heads of every great demon. Suddenly, she exclaimed softly, a hint of surprise in her cold eyes. She took a deep look at Zhou Tong, who was standing in front of the head, and said, "I thought that most of these people were trash. I didn't expect you to be able to kill an Essence Soul realm great demon at the Wanxiang Realm."
The moment these words came out, the people around immediately looked at Zhou Tong in shock.
"An Essence Soul realm great demon!?"
"Is this the power of a Xiantian Fiendgod? A Wanxiang Realm cultivator killing a Primal Soul realm monster? He's ridiculously powerful! "
Many people were secretly stunned.
Right at this moment, the woman said, "Very good. All of you have at least reached the Wanxiang Realm. The thirteen of you have passed. Follow me!"
As she spoke, she led the qualified people onto the large ship. At the same time, she took out thirteen books. With a casual wave of her hand, the books flew in front of everyone.
"The rules of the Raindragon Guard are all in this book. Take a look for yourselves!" Her voice was still as cold as ever.
Zhou Tong immediately flipped through the book, quickly finding the information he was looking for.
"Indeed, to become a Keeper of the Raindragon Guard, one must swear an oath to the Dao of the Heavens. Unless one becomes an Empyrean God or a Pure Yang True Immortal, one cannot leave the Raindragon Guard. In addition, one must be completely loyal to the Grand Xia!" Zhou Tong let out a sigh of relief. The requirements weren't too harsh. Empyrean Gods wouldn't need too many years to reach that level.
