Within the underwater estate.
An enormous peacock's corpse lay quietly on the ground. Its entire body glowed with multicolored light, and the power of the Five Elements emanated from its body.
"What an impressive peacock!" Zhou Tong first turned his gaze to the peacock's five tail feathers.
With a casual wave of his hand, he plucked out all five of the most essential feathers.
Just by hovering there in mid-air, these five feathers naturally displayed their most terrifying power. The scarlet red feather was wreathed in flames, while the pitch-black feather was wreathed in water. The earthen yellow feather was as heavy as a mountain, while the white feather was incomparably sharp, capable of slicing through anything. The azure feather emanated a hazy azure aura.
The Five Elements flowed in an endless cycle. As soon as these five feathers appeared, the surrounding space seemed to have solidified.
"Not long after I broke through to the Wanxiang realm, the materials for the Third Cycle of the [Starseizing Hand] have already appeared." Zhou Tong didn't think too much about it. He immediately sat down in the lotus position, stretched out his hands, and began to absorb the essence of the Five Elements from the five-colored feathers.
Raindragon Guard missions like this generally only required one to bring back the head of the mission target, or something that represented one's identity. Everything else was the spoils of war for the Raindragon Guard who had completed the mission.
Cultivating the [Starseizing Hand] required treasures that contained the Five Elements. The five-colored feathers of this peacock were perfectly suitable. In addition, given the amount of Five Elements contained within these feathers, it was more than enough for him to complete the Third Cycle of the [Starseizing Hand].
At this moment, as the Five Elements essence was constantly being absorbed by Zhou Tong's hands, the five-colored feathers grew dimmer and dimmer. After Zhou Tong had absorbed 80% of the essence, his hands began to emit a brilliant, multicolored light that shot into the heavens.
Moments later, the light dissipated, and Zhou Tong's hands returned to their original state.
The Third Cycle of the [Starseizing Hand] had been completed.
"The more I train in the [Starseizing Hand], the more terrifying the amount of resources it consumes. The amount of Five Elements essence required for each cycle increases exponentially!" Zhou Tong shook his head as he stared at the dimmed five-colored feathers.
With 80% of the essence absorbed, these five feathers were essentially useless.
"Next up, I'll have to search for some opportunities for the fourth revolution, or perhaps I'll have to see if there are any treasures in the Star-Seizing Manor that correspond to the five elements. But now, after being delayed for half a year, it's about time to return to the Scarlet Dragon Mountain Range, Zhou Tong thought to himself.
With a wave of his sleeve, he collected the enormous peacock's corpse, then quickly flew towards the teleportation array which the Raindragon Guard had set up in the Mountain Sea Marsh.
After completing his mission, stating his intentions and verifying his identity, the Raindragon Guards guarding the teleportation array immediately activated it, allowing Zhou Tong to return to the Crimson Dragon Mountains.
After returning to the Crimson Dragon Mountains, he was still under military control. The Raindragon Guards along the way verified his identity, then let him pass. Soon, he returned to the rear hall of the military affairs hall.
"Raindragon Guard Zhou Tong, mission complete!" Zhou Tong casually waved his hand, and the enormous corpse of the peacock fell to the ground.
At this moment, one of the Void-level Earth Immortals in charge of inspecting missions from the Military Mission Hall felt his heart clench in shock. The aura of this peacock's corpse was a bit too terrifying. In fact, he even felt that he was inferior to this peacock.
"A Return to Void Stage Five Elements Peacock? And from its aura, it seems to have completed the Five Elements? Wasn't your mission to kill a Primal Daoist peacock? And a Primal Daoist peacock with incomplete Five Elements? " The Void-level Earth Immortal sent his divine sense into the head of the peacock's corpse, then stared at Zhou Tong in astonishment.
"It made a breakthrough, and its bloodline transformed as well!" Zhou Tong said.
"It made a breakthrough, and its bloodline transformed!" The Void-level Earth Immortal carefully inspected the wound on the peacock's head. He was certain that this was a fatal wound, and that there were no other wounds on its body.
"He killed a Void-level peacock … is he really a Primal Daoist? Even if he trained in the [Diagram of the Chi Ming Nine Heavens], he shouldn't be this powerful! "The Void-level Earth Immortal felt even more stunned.
A peacock that had completed the Five Elements and had its bloodline transformed was completely different from a peacock that had not completed the Five Elements. A peacock with a bloodline like this was definitely no weaker than a Void-level Fiendgod; in fact, it was very likely that it had reached the Celestial Immortal level of power.
And yet, it had been killed by this Primal Daoist in one blow!
"If there's nothing else, please help me register my karmic points. I'll head back now!" As Zhou Tong spoke, he took out his Raindragon Guard medallion.
The karmic points for this mission were quite high; a total of twenty thousand karmic points. And this was only because he didn't know that the peacock had made a breakthrough. If he had known that the peacock had made a breakthrough, the karmic points for this mission would have increased by at least ten times.
The Earth Immortal nodded, then immediately accepted Zhou Tong's medallion and filled it with karmic points.
Zhou Tong accepted the medallion, then left the military affairs hall.
As he watched Zhou Tong leave, the Void-level Earth Immortal began to doubt himself.
"Are xiantian Fiendgods truly that terrifying? To be able to kill a Void-level Five Elements Peacock, and in one blow at that … his combat power is comparable to some Celestial Immortals! In other words … doesn't this mean that he is one of the most powerful Raindragon Guards of Stillwater Commandery? "The more the Earth Immortal thought about it, the more astonished he felt.
At the same time, he also felt that Zhou Tong was simply too unfathomable, and that his combat power was ridiculously strong.
"However … judging from the peacock's wounds, he should have used a bow to attack from afar. If it was a sneak attack from afar, it wouldn't be unacceptable. However, for his arrow to be able to break through the protection of the Five-colored Divine Light means that its power cannot be underestimated. "The Earth Immortal came back to his senses and began to analyze the situation.
At the same time, on the other side. Zhou Tong, after receiving his karmic points, immediately headed to the Daozang Palace and used them all up.
He didn't exchange for any high-level supreme arts; instead, he exchanged for more than three thousand secret arts and divine abilities that could be exchanged for with single-digit amounts of karmic points.
Under the complicated, astonished, and confused gazes of the managers of the Daozang Palace, Zhou Tong happily took all the secret arts and divine abilities he had exchanged for and returned to his residence.
The managers of the Daozang Palace had never seen anyone exchange for techniques and manuals in such a manner. Others would have long since taken a liking to a few techniques and manuals, then slowly accumulate karmic points before exchanging for the target. Zhou Tong, however, immediately used up all the karmic points he had obtained, and the items he had exchanged for were completely ordinary.
However, Zhou Tong couldn't be bothered to explain too much to them.
He had never forgotten that the reason why he had joined the Raindragon Guard was for the sake of its resources, and for the sake of the countless secret arts and divine abilities within the Raindragon Guard.
Thus, Zhou Tong didn't care about the strength of the secret arts and divine abilities. He only cared about quantity, quantity, quantity, quantity that would allow him to broaden his horizons and deepen his understanding of the cultivation system of this world.
Perhaps these techniques and manuals were very weak, but they all had their own merits. By browsing through them, Zhou Tong would be able to further deepen his understanding of the cultivation system of this world.
