Time passed by slowly. In the blink of an eye, five years had passed since Zhou Tong had arrived at Raindragon Mountain.
Zhou Tong sat cross-legged on a large bluestone in front of the entrance to his estate, his eyes flickering with dim candlelight.
After five years of training, his [Torch Dragon's Eye] had already reached an extremely high level. By now, even if he didn't use his divine sense, he would be able to clearly see everything within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Even the hairs on the bodies of ants in the darkness could be clearly reflected in his eyes.
In the past five years, Zhou Tong had often gone out to carry out missions for the Raindragon Guard. His missions were basically all directly assigned to him by the Xia Emperor. They were all to deal with extremely troublesome Celestial Immortals or peak-stage Void-level Fiendgods. There was even one mission that required him to leave the major world of the Grand Xia and head to a minor world.
However, these missions were basically all ordinary Raindragon Guard missions, missions that were compatible with the power he had displayed. To him, missions like these posed no danger at all. They were easily completed.
On the other side, the Xia Emperor had followed his master's instructions and was prepared to spend a hundred years testing Zhou Tong's patience and Dao-heart. Thus, in the past five years, he had completely treated Zhou Tong as an ordinary Raindragon Guard.
In the past five years, the oceanic amounts of karmic virtue he had accumulated had been completely exchanged for all sorts of divine abilities, secret arts, and cultivation techniques. There were even some other Fiendgod Body Refining techniques, such as the [Thundergod's Body], the [Windfiend's Body], the [Greenwood Fiend's Body], and other Fiendgod Body Refining techniques.
All of this was for the sake of establishing a Fiendgod Body Refining technique that belonged solely to him in the future.
"The sixteenth layer of the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens] has already been perfected. Today, I'll break through to the seventeenth layer!" Zhou Tong glanced at the sky. There shouldn't be many more Nine Heavens Auroras appearing today. This was the perfect opportunity to train in the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens].
He turned and returned to his estate, then sat down in the lotus position within his private room and began to circulate the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens].
"Rumble!" "Rumble!"
Immediately, boundless Chi Ming's divine power circulated within his body. At the same time, two miniature stars quietly floated above Zhou Tong's head.
When Zhou Tong had cultivated the Chi Ming Diagram of Nine Heavens to his current level, he could already manifest the projections of the two supreme stars, the Sun Star and the Moon Star, at will.
At this moment, the Sun Star and the Moon Star were emitting a huge amount of the Sun Star and the Moon Star. After this power entered Zhou Tong's body, it quickly turned into divine power. His divine power continued to grow, becoming denser and more complete.
"Boom!"
Finally, his divine power broke through a limit, and then finally began to transform.
"Hua la!"
The extremely pure Chi Ming's divine power turned into countless streams and flowed in Zhou Tong's body, making his divine body even stronger.
The seventeenth level of the 《Chi Ming Diagram of Nine Heavens》!
"Haha, the seventeenth level of the 《Chi Ming Diagram of Nine Heavens》. It really is the seventeenth level!" Within the Star-Seizing Manor, the giant yellow bear and the others naturally watched as Zhou Tong broke through.
This was the limit of what one could reach by cultivating the 《Chi Ming Diagram of Nine Heavens》 normally. If one continued to cultivate to the eighteenth level, then the Empyrean Tribulation would descend at any moment.
It could be said that the current Zhou Tong was already infinitely close to becoming an Empyrean God.
"Don't get too excited. It's only the seventeenth level. Let's talk about it after I break through to the eighteenth level!" Zhou Tong entered the Star-Seizing Manor, then gave the giant yellow bear and the others some instructions, then entered the Stellar Hall to meditate on the Dao.
Over the past five years, he had often meditated on the Dao within the Stellar Hall. This place contained the various traces of the Grand Dao which Daoist Threelives had painstakingly set up. There were traces of Daoist Threelives' own Dao, as well as traces of Daoist Threelives' friends, such as Bodhi and Three Purities.
The Stellar Hall contained all sorts of Daos. Even a conservative estimate put it at tens of thousands of Daos.
Over the past five years, Zhou Tong had been able to gain insights into one or two Daos on average every day. Over the past five years, he had already gained insights into four or five thousand Daos.
If he were to tell others about this level of Grand Dao, he would be able to terrify countless Empyrean Gods and True Immortals.
Time flowed on. In the blink of an eye, yet another five years had passed.
On this day, Zhou Tong casually asked for a leave of absence, then left Raindragon Godpeak and the imperial capital. He arrived in the air above a desolate wilderness.
Boom!
He had been accumulating Dao energy for a long time now, ready to break through the seventeenth level of the 《Chi Ming Diagram of Nine Heavens》. But now, he suddenly broke through the final bottleneck, stepping into the eighteenth level of the 《Chi Ming Diagram of Nine Heavens》!
This breakthrough was very straightforward. He had broken through the final bottleneck, just like that.
This breakthrough instantly caused the Heavenly Daos which had been circulating around him to stir.
Whoosh!
Soon, a wild gust of wind began to blow.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The wind grew stronger and stronger. Towards the end, it howled as countless wind blades transformed into countless enormous vortexes. At the center of these vortexes was none other than Zhou Tong.
At the same time, in the instant that Zhou Tong's Empyrean Tribulation descended, within the Skylight Palace, the Xia Emperor suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw Zhou Tong, his face changed dramatically.
"Empyrean Tribulation!!" The Xia Emperor's heart trembled violently. Then, with a flicker of his body, he left the imperial capital and arrived at the location where Zhou Tong was undergoing his tribulation. He stared in astonishment at the boundless wild gale before him.
"Empyrean Tribulation. It really is Empyrean Tribulation!! This aura … it's Zhou Tong!? " The Xia Emperor no longer had the bearing of a sovereign who controlled everything. His eyes were filled with astonishment as he stared at the blade-like wild gale.
This was because his master had miscalculated.
According to Chi Ming Daozu's estimation, Zhou Tong would have to be stuck at the Void Return Stage for at least a hundred years before he could break through to the Empyrean God Stage. However, it had only been ten years, and he was about to undergo the Empyrean God Tribulation?
"What a terrifying Empyrean God Tribulation. I wonder how many times stronger it is than my Immortal Tribulation!" The Xia Emperor's eyes were filled with shock. Just this kind of Heavenly Tribulation was too terrifying. The power of the wind was too strong.
However, at this moment, Zhou Tong did not use any tricks. He merely relied on his divine body to withstand it.
The divine body cultivated from the "Chi Ming Diagram of Nine Heavens" was already considered perfect. In addition, Zhou Tong had comprehended other body-refining techniques over the years. He had already made some minor adjustments to the "Chi Ming Diagram of Nine Heavens", causing his divine body to become even stronger.
Zhou Tong stood quietly in the center of the wild gale vortexes. His heart was incomparably calm.
The Wind Tribulation was the weakest of the Heavenly Tribulations. If this Heavenly Tribulation required him to use his full strength, then what was the point of undergoing the tribulation?
Whether it was the Immortal Tribulation of a Heavenly Immortal or the Empyrean God Tribulation, there were three tribulations. They were the Wind Tribulation, the Fire Tribulation, and the Lightning Tribulation. Each tribulation was stronger than the last.
For Qi Refinement cultivators, the Heavenly Tribulation was to achieve the Immortal Body. For Fiendgod Body Refinement cultivators, the Heavenly Tribulation was to achieve the Empyrean God Body.
The more powerful the Heavenly Tribulation, the more perfect the Empyrean God Body could be forged.
The perfect Empyrean God Body was a threshold to the True God Stage. If the divine body was not perfect, then it was naturally impossible to become a True God. Countless Empyrean Gods were stuck at this step.
