The Hibernating Lake Star was the spacetime transfer array closest to Vastheaven Palace.
Rumble …
One day, the spacetime transfer array lit up with light. Moments later, Zhou Tong's figure appeared within it.
As soon as he appeared, the aura of a Daolord instantly spread out, instantly scaring the nearby Zu Shen and Zu Xian into silence.
"Now that I'm here, I'll be very close to Vastheaven Palace!" Zhou Tong waved his hand, causing a flying vessel to appear.
He immediately entered the vessel, which then soared into the skies.
Now, all he needed to do was fly for a few days, then pass through a natural spatial maelstrom and arrive at the region where Vastheaven Palace was located. After that, he would have to spend another month on the vessel to reach his destination.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, Zhou Tong arrived at the Vastheaven world.
As he stood there, Zhou Tong could see the peaks of the distant mountains. Hidden within the clouds, he could vaguely see a series of palaces. In his heart, he knew that this was Vastheaven Palace.
Whoosh!
Zhou Tong flew directly towards Vastheaven Palace.
The Vastheaven world didn't restrict space, which was why it was possible to fly. However, even if this everworld did, given Zhou Tong's current level of power, he would be able to fight back.
Soon, Zhou Tong arrived near the main gates of Vastheaven Palace. He saw that there were already a group of figures gathered there, with three cultivators who emanated the aura of Daolords standing at the very front.
The leader was an old man dressed in tattered robes, but Zhou Tong could tell at a glance that this wasn't his true body. This was just one of his avatars.
"Um … fellow Daoist, do you have a talisman of welcome from Vastheaven Palace?" The leader of the three, an old man dressed in tattered robes, was rather puzzled.
This was a Daolord with an incredibly powerful aura. Judging from his aura, he was very close to the Verge of the Daomerge. Who had issued a talisman of welcome to someone like him?
Each member of Vastheaven Palace was only allowed to issue a single talisman of welcome in their lifetime. Generally speaking, they would only accept their friends, family, or disciples. Who would be foolish enough to accept a Verge-level Daolord? Wouldn't that be a waste?
That didn't mean that they would definitely join Vastheaven Palace. There was still room for regret.
Zhou Tong nodded, then casually took out World God Northrest's talisman of welcome. "Where is the guide? World God Northrest asked me to tell you that he was killed by the three Wujiao Godbeasts. "
"What?! The three Wujiao Divine Beasts, how dare you!! "
"Damn those three Wujiao Divine Beasts! Do you think Vastheaven Palace has no one to back you up? I, Si Ming, will go and destroy them right now! "
"You three vile creatures! How dare you scheme against the brothers of Vastheaven Palace! You're courting death!"
All of the World-level cultivators of Vastheaven Palace were instantly enraged. All of them began to clamor about how they were going to go wipe out the three Wujiao Godbeasts.
However, the leader of the group, an old man, exchanged a glance with a white-robed, blue-haired man next to him. The blue-haired man nodded. "This is indeed Northrest's talisman of welcome."
The old man then instructed the other World-level cultivators by his side, "Arbiter, Daoist, Voidliang, Cloudrain, Blackaxe, Skygang. The six of you were the closest to Northrest in the past. I'll leave it to you to go wipe out the three Wujiao Godbeasts!"
"Yes, big brother Solesky!" The six World Gods behind him quickly stepped forward and flew off into the distance.
"Excuse us, fellow Daoist. Please come in!" The leader of the group, the old man named Solesky, smiled as he invited Zhou Tong into Vastheaven Palace as a guest.
"Fellow Daoist, you came all the way here to deliver this message to the brothers of Vastheaven Palace. You truly are a righteous man." The white-robed, blue-haired man spoke out as well. "But why is Northrest's talisman of welcome in your hands, fellow Daoist?"
As soon as these words came out, the other World Gods and Daolord Solesky all turned to look at Zhou Tong.
They all wanted to know why this person had World God Northrest's talisman of welcome. Logically speaking, there was no way World God Northrest would have given something like this to such a terrifying Daolord.
Zhou Tong said leisurely, "World God Northrest died near my homeland. Before he died, he left behind a set of ruins. When I was still weak, I was able to benefit from World God Northrest within those ruins. This talisman of welcome came from him."
"What?! You … you're less than a chaos cycle old? "The blue-haired, white-robed Daolord called out in shock.
They had long ago confirmed the time of World God Northrest's death, and so they were able to easily determine Zhou Tong's approximate age.
"You came from the Badlands Territory, right? I remember now. I've heard Badlands speak of you. Are you a tribulation flame? "Right at this moment, the nearby Solesky spoke out.
Long ago, Daolord Solesky had gone to ask Daolord Badlands for help. At that time, he had led one of Daolord Badlands' avatars into an extremely dangerous area. It was during that period of time that Zhou Tong had met Daolord Badlands' true body.
Daolord Badlands' true body was connected to his avatar, and so Badlands had naturally told Daolord Solesky about Zhou Tong's affairs. Thus, Daolord Solesky knew about this.
"Yes, that's me!" Zhou Tong nodded.
"It's hard to imagine. When Badlands told me about you, he said that you were just a World-level cultivator. It's only been three centuries, but you've already …" The more Daolord Solesky spoke, the more stunned he felt.
"It was just a stroke of luck that allowed me to gain some insights!" Zhou Tong said softly.
"Admirable, admirable!" Daolord Solesky sighed in amazement.
He knew that Zhou Tong walked the path of the Dao of Fire. This path didn't have much defensive power, but it did have terrifying offensive power and explosive power. Although he didn't know exactly how strong Zhou Tong was, his aura alone was comparable to Daolord Solesky's true body. In all honesty, there was probably no one in the entire Vastheaven Everworld who was a match for him.
"Then aside from telling us about Northrest, is there anything else you want to tell us? Fellow Daoist, since you have Vastheaven Palace's medallion of welcome, would you be willing to join us? "The white-robed, blue-haired man spoke out once more.
This question once again cut into the thoughts of many people.
Zhou Tong's medallion of welcome was World God Northrest's one and only chance to be accepted. If Zhou Tong wasn't willing to join, that would mean that Northrest had wasted his only 'chance'.
However, if a supreme Daolord like him wanted to join any organization, there was no reason for them to refuse him. Did he really need to join Vastheaven Palace?
Zhou Tong nodded. "Let's join!"
He didn't feel any ill will towards Vastheaven Palace, because Vastheaven Palace didn't have any hierarchy, and its members were all very loyal to each other.
Most importantly of all, Zhou Tong had used Vastheaven Palace's name to fight on multiple occasions during his trip to Vastheaven Palace. Given that he hadn't joined any other organization yet, he might as well join them.
"Haha, welcome, brother Tribulation Fire!"
