"Your disciple greets you, Master!" Ji Ning was the first to step forward and bow.
Zhou Tong nodded slightly. "Not bad. You've improved quite quickly during this period of time."
"Fellow Daoist Tribulation Flame, congratulations on comprehending the Heavenly Dao of Fire. Yet another major power has appeared in the Three Realms!" Chi Ming Daozu immediately congratulated him.
"I was just lucky!" Zhou Tong smiled slightly.
Chi Ming Daozu said, "Fellow Daoist Tribulation Flame, you're too modest. To be able to comprehend the Heavenly Dao in a mere four hundred years … you can be considered the number one person in the Three Realms since its birth. Your cultivation speed is simply inconceivable."
"But fellow Daoist, why haven't you broken through to the Daozu level?" Chi Ming Daozu was rather puzzled.
Logically speaking, since he had already broken through to the Pure Yang True Immortal level and had comprehended the Heavenly Dao of Fire, the next breakthrough should have been a matter of course. Perhaps breaking through to the Zu Shen level would be very difficult, but breaking through to the Zu Xian level (Daozu) was much easier. Why hadn't he broken through?
"There are still some things I haven't finished yet. Once I'm done, I'll break through!" Zhou Tong said. "But while I was gone, did anything major happen in the Three Realms?"
"Let's talk as we walk!" Chi Ming Daozu gestured with his hand, leading Zhou Tong towards a nearby palace.
As they walked over, Chi Ming Daozu gave Zhou Tong a rough overview of the current situation in the Three Realms.
The current situation in the Three Realms was virtually the same as it had been in the original work. The biggest difference was that the Grand Xia had fallen. In the original work, the Grand Xia had relied on the seven Empyrean Gods of the Star-Seizing Manor to turn the tables. But now, these seven Empyrean Gods were by Zhou Tong's side, and so they naturally hadn't been able to do anything.
Thus, it was only natural that the Grand Xia had fallen and been occupied by the Seamless Gate.
"So that's how it is. So many things have happened …" Zhou Tong nodded.
"After all, the Great Xia is the place where I was born. Next, I'll take action and take back that world!" Zhou Tong didn't even think about it before he said, "I wasn't there for that battle. Now that I'm back, I naturally have to rewrite the outcome of that battle."
"Fellow Daoist, you can't!!" Chi Ming Daozu was shocked and immediately tried to stop Zhou Tong.
"My friend, if you were still the God of Heaven from back then, it would naturally be a good thing if you could take back the world of the Great Xia. However, my friend has already advanced to the level of a True God. If you were to take action now, I'm afraid that the Seamless Gate would launch an all-out counterattack. It might even cause the True God Daozu's battle to be brought forward," Chi Ming Daozu explained.
"We still haven't finished preparing for a full-scale battle. If we act rashly, I'm afraid that there will be trouble in the future. Once the full-scale battle breaks out ahead of schedule, the future outcome will be hard to predict." Chi Ming Daozu was very worried.
"Don't worry, I'll take action in my own name. As for the battle with Daozu? There's no need for you to take action. If the people of the Seamless Gate aren't afraid of death, I'll kill them all! "Zhou Tong said leisurely.
Zhou Tong's words were very domineering. Not only Chi Ming Daozu, but even Ji Ning and Chi Ming Daozu's disciples, who were accompanying him, were shocked by Zhou Tong's words.
"Fellow Daoist, your power …" Daofather Crimsonbright gave Zhou Tong a once over, sizing him up, but still wasn't able to tell anything.
"Of course I won't attack them directly. I'll make my move after I advance to Zu Xian," Zhou Tong explained.
Chi Ming Daozu shook his head helplessly in the end. He finally understood that Zhou Tong was determined to take action, so he didn't try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he decided to discuss it with the higher-ups in Nüwa's camp, such as the Three Pure Ones, Tathagata, Bodhi, and Suirenshi.
Zhou Tong and Chi Ming Daozu's conversation ended quickly. Afterward, he left Chi Ming Daozu's training hall with Ji Ning.
"The one who appeared in front of me is a clone, right? It seems that you've encountered quite a lot of opportunities during this period of time! "Zhou Tong looked at Ji Ning with a smile.
Ji Ning said, "Master, your disciple unintentionally obtained seven techniques. One of them is called the Taowu Eighteen Gods and Demons. It can create a total of eighteen clones. Your disciple is currently using this ability."
As he spoke, Ji Ning presented all seven techniques he'd obtained from the Pangaea Chaotic Kingdom's stone tablet.
These seven techniques were the cloning secret technique – Taowu Eighteen Gods and Demons. The secret technique to cultivate insects – Nine Solutions of Insects. The secret technique to cultivate divine weapons – Sin Divine Weapons. The secret technique to cultivate ghosts and deities – Ghost God Scroll. There was also a technique to cultivate dao talismans – Jewel Talisman. The formation to coordinate with the Taowu Eighteen Gods and Demons – Qiankun Reverse Heart Formation. Lastly, there was the final protective ability – Indestructible Body.
"Master, with your strength, if you can coordinate with the Taowu Eighteen Gods and Demons to cultivate eighteen Fiendgod Bodies that aren't any weaker than your own, your chances of victory will be greatly increased if you fight against True God Daozu of the Seamless Gate." Ji Ning said.
He was naturally on Nüwa's side. This was especially so when he heard Zhou Tong say that he wanted to take back the Grand Xia. He naturally hoped that Zhou Tong's battle prowess would be as high as possible. Furthermore, taking back the Grand Xia was one of the things that Ji Ning desired. After all, he had grown up in the Grand Xia. That was his hometown.
"The Taowu Eighteen Gods and Demons. Creating eighteen Fiendgod Bodies that aren't any weaker than your main body is indeed a decent secret technique. However, compared to the [Thousand Bodies Sutra] of the Three Realms, which can create a thousand clones that aren't any weaker than your main body, it's not even worth mentioning." Zhou Tong shook his head.
As he spoke, he tapped out with his finger and sent the original text of the [Thousand Bodies Sutra] directly into Ji Ning's mind.
"[Thousand Bodies Sutra]!?" Ji Ning was shocked. He had thought that his Taowu Eighteen Gods and Demons was already one of the top secret techniques in the Three Realms. Who would have thought that there was such a terrifying secret technique? Creating a thousand clones?
"But the cultivation requirements? The Heart of the Realm? " Ji Ning was immediately stunned. These cultivation requirements were truly too harsh. Even if the Three Realms were to be squeezed dry, they still wouldn't be able to obtain enough resources for cultivation.
"No wonder I've never heard of this secret technique. So it's actually so difficult," Ji Ning murmured.
"The original secret technique was very difficult. However, in the past few hundred years, I've already improved the secret technique. Coupled with the Fiendgod Body Tempering Technique that I created, cultivating the [Thousand Bodies Sutra] is no longer a problem. At least, I've already cultivated it."
Zhou Tong smiled. He tapped out with his finger again and transmitted the [Nirvana Divine Body] that he created and the improved [Thousand Bodies Sutra] to Ji Ning.
Zhou Tong had always been fair in his dealings. If Ji Ning had concealed the Taowu Eighteen Gods and Demons from the beginning, then he naturally wouldn't have transmitted the secret technique that he had worked so hard to improve to him.
"The [Nirvana Divine Body] and the improved [Thousand Bodies Sutra]!?" The more Ji Ning comprehended it, the more shocked he was in his heart. My Master has actually created so many terrifying techniques in the past few hundred years of time?
The [Nirvana Divine Body] had even broadened Ji Ning's horizons. It allowed him to faintly sense that no matter if it was in terms of specific cultivation or concept, this technique far surpassed the [Chi Ming's Nine Heavens Diagram].
As for the improved [Thousand Bodies Sutra] and the [Nirvana Divine Body], they were a perfect match. They'd opened up a new path and perfectly avoided the difficulty of cultivating the Heart of the Realm.
