Within the immortal estate.
Zhou Tong sat cross-legged in the main hall as endless chaos energy surged into his body.
Rumble!!
The Golden Pill within him had been larger than a chaosworld, but on this day, the Golden Pill's dimension had been destroyed and returned to chaos.
The most important step in advancing from Zu Xian to Chaos Immortal was to destroy the Golden Pill's dimension and return it to chaos. What had once been a world in the Golden Pill's dimension had been reduced to a vast expanse of chaos.
"Fire seed!"
With a thought from Zhou Tong, a fire seed formed from the fifth level of the power of fire appeared out of thin air within the Golden Pill's dimension. This seed was originally in a state of nothingness and could not be seen by the naked eye. But now, it had appeared in the chaotic space of the Jindan.
Clearly, this chaotic space had grown up with the Fire Elemental Dao as its core.
"Sixth level of the power of fire … World of Fire!" Zhou Tong's voice echoed throughout the Golden Pill's dimension.
Rumble!!!
In an instant, the seed surrounded by flames began to grow. A young leaf emerged from the seed, and then the seed began to grow rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had become a small sapling.
The sapling continued to grow, and its terrifying roots frantically extended in all directions. All of Zhou Tong's comprehension of the Fire Elemental Dao had turned into nourishment and was transported into this seed. His Fire Tree also grew rapidly along with these nourishment.
Thirty meters, three hundred meters, three thousand meters …
Zhou Tong's insights into the Dao of Fire were astonishing, and he had even begun to walk the path of the Ultimate Dao of Fire. As a result, his tree of fire grew at an astonishing rate and grew increasingly powerful.
This tree of fire was the Dao Tree.
The Dao Tree was the foundation of the Golden Pill's chaos dimension. It was the Dao Tree that allowed the Golden Pill's chaos dimension to continue to expand. At the same time, it represented a cultivator's insights into the Dao.
Zhou Tong walked the Fire Elemental Dao, so his Dao Tree represented the Fire Dao Tree. Of course, the Golden pill of a chaos immortal wasn't limited to just one tree, but many. Unfortunately, Zhou Tong's cultivation level wasn't high enough, so the Golden pill only contained a single tree of the Dao of Fire.
The height of the Dao Tree also represented the level of the cultivator's corresponding Great Dao.
Ordinary cultivators would generally have Dao-trees that were hundreds of meters tall when they first became World-level cultivators. After stabilizing their foundation for a bit, they would be able to reach a height of three thousand meters.
A Dao-tree that was three thousand meters tall was equivalent to an ordinary World-level cultivator. A hundred thousand meters tall was equivalent to a supreme World-level cultivator. Above that was a master-class World-level cultivator, at 360,000 meters tall.
At the Chaos Immortal level, the limit for Dao-trees was 360,000 meters. That was the limit for all Chaos Immortals. If you wanted to grow a Dao-tree higher than that, you had to reach an even higher level, the Samsara Daolord level of power.
At the same time, all World-level cultivators would have the same limit for the size of their Golden pill. Even World-level cultivators like Zhou Tong who had fused multiple clones together would have the same limit for the size of their Golden pill. The only difference was that Chaos Immortals like Zhou Tong had much purer chaos immortal energy.
If a third-tier Golden pill Chaos Immortal could be described as having chaos immortal energy akin to a wooden sword forged from ordinary wood, then a second-tier Golden pill's chaos immortal energy was akin to a bronze sword forged from bronze, while a first-tier Golden pill's chaos immortal energy was akin to an iron sword that had been tempered a thousand times over. As for Zhou Tong, he was a Chaos Immortal who had fused multiple clones together. His chaos immortal energy was comparable to a Samsara Daolord's immortal energy.
"Rumble!"
Within the chaos region of the Golden pill, Zhou Tong's Dao-tree was still growing. It was growing thicker and thicker, and it was growing ever more towering. A large number of branches and leaves were growing out of it, representing the different types of flames that Zhou Tong had mastered.
Some of them were flames which Zhou Tong had personally come up with, some were flames which he had acquired from purchasing secret arts, and some were unique flames which he had discovered within the primordial chaos.
The leafy, lush Fire Dao Tree continued to grow.
Fifty thousand meters. Thirty thousand meters. Fifteen thousand meters …
The Dao-tree seemed to be growing at an unfathomable rate.
The Dao-tree, which contained all of Zhou Tong's insights into the Dao of Fire, finally came to a halt after reaching a height of 360,000 meters. Its branches and leaves began to spread out in every direction.
One of the two thickest branches of the Dao-tree represented Zhou Tong's most primordial essence, the Nirvanic Phoenix Fire of Nirvanic Phoenix. This was the flame of life. As for the other branch, it represented the other side of the Nirvanic Phoenix Fire of Annihilation.
Life and annihilation. These were the truly terrifying powers of the phoenix. They were also the two types of flames which Zhou Tong had the deepest understanding of.
Not only was the phoenix the immortal bird with the strongest life force, but it was also capable of giving birth to the power of annihilation when its life force reached the pinnacle. Just like yin and yang, extreme yang gave birth to yin, and extreme yin gave birth to yang. The end of life was annihilation, and the end of annihilation was rebirth.
"Perfection at 360,000 meters? As expected, this is the correct ultimate path. Perfection as soon as I break through! "Zhou Tong nodded to himself, feeling rather pleased with himself.
He had wandered the primordial chaos for several hundred years, and then spent another hundred years organizing countless secret arts and secret arts, doing his best to make up for his flaws. Now, he could finally be considered to have reached perfection.
Rumble …!
After the Dao-tree finished growing, the chaos region within Zhou Tong's Golden pill began to continuously absorb chaos energy from the outside world to expand.
An enormous amount of chaos energy entered the Golden pill's chaos region, causing the Golden pill to become a region of chaos. The 360,000 meter Dao-tree suppressed the entire chaos region, while an enormous amount of chaos immortal energy was rapidly being generated.
"Awesome. The Golden pill has become a chaos region. My soul is being nourished by chaos immortal energy, and it's growing once more." Zhou Tong closed his eyes, carefully sensing the changes in his body. A hint of joy appeared on his face.
"I've already broken through as a Ki Refiner. Next up is the Fiendgod Body Refiner level!" With but a thought, Zhou Tong burrowed into the world within the deepest parts of his Immortal estate.
The truly powerful immortal abodes all contained a world within them. For example, Zhou Tong's former Starseizing Manor contained a major world that was comparable to the Grand Xia. As for the Immortal estate in Zhou Tong's hands, it had been transformed from an Immortal estate he had acquired while wandering the primordial chaos. Within it was a major world that was comparable to a chaosworld.
Zhou Tong needed to enter a world like this to break through as a Fiendgod Body Refiner. This was because his divine body was simply far, far too large. Most Immortal estates wouldn't be able to contain it.
"Rumble …" The roiling chaos energy paused for a moment, then grew even more powerful.
Zhou Tong was still at the Fiendgod Body Refiner level.
After entering the chaosworld within the Immortal estate, he immediately transformed into his true form. An enormous phoenix with a wingspan of a hundred thousand kilometers began to burn in the air. The Annihilation Flame destroyed his old body, and then the Life Flame reformed his life force.
The chaos energy surged forth, constantly pouring into Zhou Tong's brand new divine body.
One divine gem after another began to appear in every part of his divine body.
The Ki Refiner level was reflected in the Dao-tree, while the Fiendgod Body Refiner level was reflected in the divine gems.
The limit of a Ki Refiner's Dao-tree was 360,000 meters, while the limit of a Fiendgod Body Refiner's Dao-tree was 36,000 divine gems, which corresponded perfectly with the Ki Refiner level.
The appearance of every single divine gem required an enormous amount of insights into the Dao of Fire.
As the boundless chaos energy poured into his body, in the end, Zhou Tong's body formed 36,000 divine gems. He had broken through.
For someone like Zhou Tong, who had a thousand clones fused together to break through, every single divine gem of his contained an extremely pure amount of divine power. A single divine gem was comparable to a thousand divine gems of other World Gods combined.
