"He's not even ten years old, but he already has such insights?" The Grand Xia Emperor's gaze and divine sense instantly pierced through the palace, landing upon Zhou Tong's body. He wanted to take a closer look at Zhou Tong's situation.
In truth, he had read some of the intelligence reports regarding Zhou Tong long ago. The Grand Xia was dedicated to promoting the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens] technique. Naturally, a genius like Zhou Tong, who had trained in the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens], had caught his eye long ago.
However, all he knew was that half a year ago, Zhou Tong had been at the Primal level. Now that Zhou Tong had broken through to the Void-level, he was naturally incomparably shocked.
As the disciple of Chi Ming Daozu, the Grand Xia Emperor himself had trained in the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens] as a Fiendgod Body Refiner. However, his talent in this area was simply too weak, and he was only able to just barely reach the Primal level. He himself knew very well how difficult it was to break through from the Primal level to the Void-level from the Primal level.
In the instant that the Grand Xia Emperor's gaze landed upon Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong suddenly trembled. He could sense a mysterious force seemingly attempting to seep into his body. This force was similar to an eye-technique divine ability, but it also seemed to be divine sense.
His omnipresent heartforce immediately began to resist. His dominating, dominating Third Stage, Hegemonic heartforce instantly wiped out all of this force.
"That force just now … if I'm not mistaken, it should have been the Grand Xia Emperor. Was he observing me?" Zhou Tong now understood. Aside from the Grand Xia Emperor, who else would have such power outside the main palace of the imperial capital?
"However … is this the divine sense of a Pure Yang True Immortal? It truly is more powerful than the current me. If it wasn't for the fact that I have Third Stage heartforce, I really might not have been able to withstand it. "Zhou Tong mused to himself.
As Zhou Tong blocked the divine sense and gaze of the Grand Xia Emperor, the Grand Xia Emperor felt his heart tremble. "There's no mistaking it. Just now, he used heartforce? And at least Third Stage heartforce! How could he have such power? The secret manuals of the Raindragon Guard don't contain any information on how to use heartforce. Can it be that he came up with it on his own? "
Thinking of this, the Grand Xia Emperor couldn't help but have a thought, "He has such outstanding talent in the Fiendgod Body Refinement realm, and he has reached the third level of Heartforce. Could it be that our Grand Xia will also produce an invincible master archer?"
"More than ten years ago, the Underworld and Hell were attacked and the Six Paths of Reincarnation collapsed. After that, these enemies disappeared without a trace." Suddenly, a thought came to the Grand Xia Emperor's mind. "The Netherworld is the place where the souls of the Three Realms are reborn. It is an extremely important place, and the security is extremely tight. Both the Ten Yama-Kings and the Lord of Cui Palace are Pure Yang True Immortals, and the Buddhist Ksitigarbha, who stands guard over the Netherworld Kingdom …"
"There are so many experts and great figures standing guard here, yet the Six Paths of Reincarnation were suddenly attacked and destroyed. They can't even find out who did it. Even Master can't find any traces of it. With such a terrifying power hidden in the shadows, the Three Realms will definitely fall into chaos. Moreover, it's extremely likely that it will be an unprecedented chaos."
Chaos which could cause the Grand Xia Emperor to be worried was extremely terrifying.
Countless years ago, Pangu had split the heavens and the earth apart from the primordial chaos. Afterwards, the Primordial World was born. After countless battles, the Primordial World was shattered, and in the end, the three thousand major worlds and trillion minor worlds were born. But this sort of chaos would definitely affect the entire world.
"Heroes are born in troubled times. Every single time there is a great war, a truly peerless hero will be born. Which of the major powers of the Three Realms didn't rise to power in the midst of chaos?" The Grand Xia Emperor's eyes were dim.
"The Raindragon Guard of our Grand Xia is the most powerful force in this major world. Logically speaking, it is normal for such a hero to enter the Raindragon Guard and rise to power … can it be that this Zhou Tong is one of those heroes? But … isn't it a bit too early for him to have appeared? "The Grand Xia Emperor pondered to himself.
Even heroes who rose to power in times of chaos would need to experience one great battle after another in order to quickly grow to power. But for someone who had risen to power to such an extent before the chaos of war … that might have nothing to do with the heroes who rose to power in times of chaos.
"Could it be someone else?" The Grand Xia Emperor swept the others with his gaze. He wanted to see who exactly was qualified to become a true expert who would rise to power in the future of the Three Realms.
"This year's Chosen of the Raindragon Guard isn't bad. There are 283 of them with the Golden Light of Karmic Virtue. The Raindragon Guard's primary duty is to exterminate sinful cultivators. Compared to other cultivators, their karmic virtue is generally higher. " The Grand Xia Emperor pondered silently. "High karmic virtue represents high karmic luck. But low karmic virtue doesn't necessarily mean low karmic luck."
"In fact, there are some people with low karmic virtue who have astonishing karmic luck."
Karmic virtue and karmic luck weren't the same thing.
Those with high karmic virtue would naturally be blessed with karmic luck. Thus, those with high karmic virtue would have good karmic luck.
However, there were other things that would bring about karmic luck as well. For example, if you were to become the disciple of a major power, you would naturally receive the karmic luck of that major power. For example, if you inherited the treasures of an ancestor's estate, you would naturally receive the karmic luck of that ancestor. For example, if your parents suddenly became major powers, you would naturally receive the karmic luck of that major power as well ….
In short, karmic luck and karmic virtue were different. Karmic virtue was something that could be seen through at a glance, but karmic luck was something that no one could say for certain. In fact, not even Daozu was necessarily able to understand it.
"Your karmic virtue isn't bad. Only, I wonder how good your karmic luck is." The Grand Xia Emperor's gaze once more fell upon Zhou Tong. He was inspecting Zhou Tong's karmic virtue.
Zhou Tong's entire body was surrounded by golden light. Naturally, his karmic virtue had reached the level required to produce the Golden Light of Karmic Virtue. Although he had only joined the Raindragon Guard for a short period of time and hadn't exterminated many sinful cultivators, his power was extremely high, and so the sinful cultivators he had exterminated were of extremely high quality. A single one of them was comparable to hundreds of others. Naturally, the amount of karmic virtue he had accumulated was astonishing.
"However, for someone to be able to train to such a level in such a short period of time, his karmic luck can't be bad. With the Upheaval of the Three Realms upon us, even I am in danger of dying. I need experts like this to join us, to strengthen the karmic luck of our Grand Xia! "The Grand Xia Emperor's goal was very clear.
In the end, his gaze fell upon Zhou Tong and the other two Void-level Fiendgods.
According to the standards of the Raindragon Guard, Void-level Fiendgods and Celestial Immortals weren't worth much. In truth, it was precisely because they knew this that unless absolutely necessary, they didn't want to make their breakthroughs so early.
As for Earth Immortals, they had to undergo a tribulation to become Celestial Immortals. Thus, the Void-level Earth Immortals were able to suppress their breakthroughs slightly, and so none of them broke through to become Celestial Immortals. However, three Fiendgods had made their breakthroughs. This was because Fiendgods didn't undergo a tribulation when breaking through; in fact, they might break through with a flash of insight. This was something that was hard to suppress.
The Grand Xia Emperor spoke out. "The rest of the Raindragon Guard will be trained according to the previous standards. As for these three Void-level Fiendgods, they can go to the treasury of our Grand Xia Dynasty and choose a divine ability or secret art of their choice."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was instantly stunned. According to the previous standards, those who had broken through would at most receive the same reward as the Primal Fiendgods, which was a divine ability that was worth less than five hundred thousand karmic value.
But this time, they could choose a divine ability of their choice?
They knew that the most powerful divine ability of the Grand Xia Dynasty's treasury was the [Torch Dragon's Eye]. This item was worth ten million karmic value.
With this divine ability, and with these three being Fiendgods, what other choice did they have?
It was certain that everyone would choose this divine ability.
This time, as soon as the Emperor opened his mouth, the reward would be increased by twenty times?
However, since the Emperor had opened his mouth, these people naturally didn't dare to say anything. The Celestial Immortal in charge of managing the treasury nodded and said, "Yes."
