Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, another two years had passed.
During these two years, Zhou Tong had slowed down his rate of cultivation, instead devoting most of his energy to meditating on all sorts of secret techniques and divine abilities.
This was because during these two years, he had completed many truly difficult missions, and had even 'enforced law' across prefectures. He had gone to other prefectures to deal with some opponents that he was unable to deal with. During these two years, he had accumulated more than three million karmic points, and this amount of karmic points allowed him to trade for secret techniques to greatly increase the level and quantity of them.
Naturally, these things would require him to spend even more time and effort on them.
In addition, during these two years, he had only been able to break through to the fifteenth stage of the [Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens]; he hadn't been able to break through to the Void-level.
During these two years, Zhou Tong had become quite famous in the Crimson Dragon Mountains. This was because, while on a mission, he had killed a true Celestial Immortal. In addition, based on the injuries he had sustained, it had been an instakill as well.
In the short span of two years, he had gone from being a 'newbie' to becoming the number one expert of the Raindragon Guard of Stillwater Commandery.
Naturally, his status had risen along with his power.
By now, in this branch of the Crimson Dragon Mountains, he was second only to one person. His status was second only to the commander of this branch … Immortal Guyue.
At this moment, Zhou Tong had gone directly to find Immortal Guyue.
He had come to apply for a vacation.
The Raindragon Guard was indeed a military-style organization. They didn't have much freedom, but after completing multiple missions in a row, they had the right to apply for a vacation. This vacation was generally given to the Raindragon Guard to train in peace, or to return to their own clans.
"Zhou Tong, I've already reported your situation to the headquarters of the Raindragon Guard. In half a year, a Xiantian expert will come from the headquarters. Thus, you only have half a year of vacation!" Immortal Guyue looked at Zhou Tong as he spoke.
"The headquarters of the Raindragon Guard?" Zhou Tong was surprised.
Immortal Guyue laughed. "I know that you've exchanged for many very basic techniques and secret techniques. If you are given special training by the headquarters, you will be able to view virtually any technique below a thousand karmic points. You won't need to pay any karmic points. In fact, if his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor, takes a liking to you, the most powerful divine ability of the Raindragon Guard might be bestowed upon you in advance.
"If you enter the headquarters, it will be much easier for you to progress to the Return to Void Stage. You cultivate in the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens]. This Fiendgod Body Tempering technique is, without a doubt, the most powerful. However, in our Crimson Dragon Mountain Range, no one has cultivated this technique to the Void Return stage. "
"However, the headquarters of our Raindragon Guard is different. There are definitely Void-level Fiendgods there. Perhaps with their guidance, you might be able to break through to the next realm. You are also at the fifteenth level of the Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens, right? "
Immortal Gu Yue spoke leisurely, explaining to Zhou Tong the benefits of being heavily groomed by the headquarters.
Zhou Tong smiled. "There's no need for the other gods to worry about the breakthrough of the 'Chi Ming Picture of the Nine Heavens'. It's just the fusion of yin and yang, the fusion of fire and water. With my current realm, it's not a problem at all. I'll be able to break through in a month at most. "
"Breakthrough in a month? Are you confident? "Immortal Gu Yue stared at Zhou Tong in shock.
His eyes were filled with shock. In his eyes, Zhou Tong was no longer a junior who needed his guidance. Instead, Zhou Tong was a star that was slowly rising, a seed to become an Empyrean God.
This sort of cultivation speed was far, far too fast. He had personally witnessed Linley break through to the Primal level less than three years ago. But now, in the blink of an eye, Linley was about to break through to the Return to Void stage?
"Alright, I've learned enough. It's time for me to leave!" Zhou Tong waved his hand, then turned and left Immortal Gu Yue's place. He then left the Crimson Dragon Mountain Range.
After Zhou Tong left, Immortal Gu Yue was speechless for a long time.
"Is the 'Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens' really that suitable for him to train in?" Immortal Gu Yue couldn't help but wonder. He himself had trained in the Fiendgod Body Refining technique as well, and had also trained in the 'Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens'. However, even though he had become an Immortal, his Fiendgod Body Refining technique had only reached the peak of the Zifu stage. No matter what he did, he was unable to break through to the Wanxiang stage.
Thus, he knew very well how difficult it was to train in the 'Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens'.
"If he truly does break through to the Void stage, given the level of his' Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens', his Imperial Majesty will definitely value him highly. At that time, he'll soar into the heavens." Immortal Gu Yue said to himself.
At the same time, after leaving the Crimson Dragon Mountain Range, Zhou Tong transformed into his phoenix form, then flew into the skies, spreading his wings as he flew towards Serpentwing Lake.
He was now at the peak of the Primal level. Upon transforming into his phoenix form, his body was more than three thousand meters in size. As he flew through the skies, he was like a fiery cloud that filled the skies, filled with auspicious light.
After transforming into his phoenix form, his speed was so fast that with a flap of his wings, he could traverse ten thousand kilometers of mountains and rivers. In a short period of time, he had returned to the skies above Serpentwing Lake.
After transforming back into his human form, Zhou Tong slowly landed on the island.
"It's been a few years. This place has changed quite a bit!" Zhou Tong casually stared at the surrounding area, sighing in his heart.
The island in the center of Serpentwing Lake was now filled with pavilions and towers, and many cultivators were quietly training here. This island seemed to have become another base for the Ji clan, and the people who trained here were virtually all the core members of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture.
But of course, the most central and best place was naturally the core area where Zhou Tong had set up the formation. Every year, the liquefied elemental essence would be gathered here.
"Eh?!" However, as soon as Zhou Tong drew near, he immediately saw an enormous Waterflame Lotus. Solar Truefire and Lunar Truewater simultaneously descended.
"This sort of aura … this should be the result of the [Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens] breaking through to the Xiantian level. It should be Ji Ning breaking through. His breakthrough was actually so much faster than in the original work? " Zhou Tong was rather speechless. It seemed as though he hadn't changed much; he had only accepted Ji Ning as his disciple in name.
In fact, Ji Ning hadn't even met the requirements to train in those divine abilities and techniques which he had taught him.
Ji Ning's breakthrough naturally attracted the attention of his parents. Ji Ning and his wife both came nearby, nervously and excitedly looking at Ji Ning.
This was the Xiantian level which had been achieved through the [Chi Ming Diagram of the Nine Heavens]. In the countless years of the Ji clan's history, no one had been able to accomplish it.
"So he broke through. Since that's the case, then I'll make a small breakthrough as well. I'll come see you again!" With but a thought, Zhou Tong disappeared from the island, once more returning to the Starseizing Manor.
"You've only been gone for a few years. You came back so quickly?" Upon seeing Zhou Tong return, the old black bull was instantly shocked.
"Hey, you've reached the Primal level? The Primal level as a Fiendgod Body Refiner? "At this moment, the nearby giant yellow bear appeared as well, staring at Zhou Tong in surprise and delight.
Upon reaching the Primal level, one would be able to bind the Starseizing Manor and carry it with them. Naturally, they wouldn't need to remain cooped up in this remote, desolate place.
