Inside the secret underground chamber of the Whale Island's City Lord's residence.
Zhou Tong retracted his cultivation, and his surging Qi and blood instantly disappeared. All of it was retracted back into his body, leaving nothing behind.
He would stay on this Whale Island for the next period of time. Anyway, he already had complete control over the City Lord here, and all of his food was provided by him. Furthermore, he could read as much as he wanted here.
This City Lord also had a large collection of books, not losing to the group of foxes in Mount Yujing. Furthermore, most of them were martial arts manuals.
《Floating Snow Blade Technique》, 《Deadly Sword Qi》, 《Big Dipper Steps》, 《Dragon Claw》, 《Spirit Ape Three Dodges》, 《Inescapable Net Palm》, 《Turtle Breathing Technique》 …
Although there wasn't a single top-notch manual, these things could still help Zhou Tong accumulate some knowledge and strengthen his foundation. Of course, because these books were too low-level, he read very quickly. He could read fifty to sixty books in two hours, and he understood the essence of each book.
Furthermore, there were many books on irrigation and agriculture here. These were also very practical things that were compatible with this world and the development of this era. They could also help Zhou Tong understand this world further.
Once he converted all of these into strength, Zhou Tong would be able to take a huge step forward.
Furthermore, during this period of time, he also went deeper into the sea to explore. During this period, he also found a few rare mineral veins and many natural treasures.
By devouring these things, Zhou Tong was able to further activate the special power of the Divine Striking Stone, and he was able to further explore the locations of several acupuncture points.
Inside the study of the City Lord's residence.
Zhou Tong sat quietly beside the study table, and there was a kasaya on the table.
This kasaya was dark gold in color, and it was also made from black gold threads. It was invulnerable to weapons, water, and fire. There was also a passage of scriptures on the kasaya, which talked about "merit".
"Merit has nothing to do with good or evil. If one's thoughts are free of obstructions, and if one's thoughts are clear, that is merit. Just like the Heavenly Demon, killing according to his nature is also merit. The nature of the Heavenly Demons is extremely evil, but once they recognize their nature and kill, they will be free and equal to the Buddha! "Zhou Tong said softly." The logic is not bad, but it can easily lead people astray. "
"Heavenly Demons kill according to their nature, but are humans Heavenly Demons? As a human, how could there be a distinction between good and evil in nature? Eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're sleepy. That's human nature. That's the most fundamental thing about a person. Good and evil are both things that human civilization developed later. How can they be called nature? "
"This sutra doesn't explain one's nature. Instead, it excessively pursues the clarity of one's thoughts. But how could cultivators know that their own thoughts were their own nature? Based on the desires born in the colorful world, can the thoughts born from the desires really represent one's nature? "
"Therefore, the real Buddhist scriptures talk about 'emptiness'. Because one's nature is emptiness, and knowing one's nature is emptiness!"
"If this scripture were to fall into the hands of someone with evil intentions, I'm afraid it would bring about countless disasters!" Zhou Tong recalled many things in the original work. It was likely that Hong Yi had been fooled when he obtained this sutra.
When it came to the ending, was Hong Yi really Hong Yi?
At that time, he could only be called a "Sage". He was the embodiment of the Sage's ideals, the practitioner of all the Sage's calculations, the tool used by the Sage to reach the Nirvana Realm. Everything about him was based on the Sage's existence, but he didn't have much of a "Hong Yi" component.
It was because he no longer had the way of thinking of a human, nor did he have the seven emotions and six desires of a human. There was only one thought in his heart — to complete his grand ambition and reach the Nirvana Realm.
A person who no longer had any distracting thoughts or feelings in his heart, who was only filled with goals, could he still be called a human? If he was alive, could he still be called a living creature?
He should be a machine!
"That's why Hong Yi was able to cultivate to such a realm in six years. Because this realm wasn't something Hong Yi cultivated, but something calculated by the Sage … Perhaps the six years Hong Yi spent on the path of cultivation was the beginning of him being used as a "tool" by the Sage's sacrificial refining. "
Zhou Tong grabbed the kasaya and bit down on it.
The kasaya made of black gold was completely unable to withstand Zhou Tong's teeth, and a large piece was bitten off. After that, Zhou Tong swallowed the rest of the kasaya into his stomach with two 'crunch' sounds.
Soon, the black gold was completely digested by Zhou Tong, turning into strands of Golden Hepta Qi that spread out in his body, further strengthening his body.
However, Zhou Tong soon noticed that when the strands of Golden Hepta Qi were dispersing, there were suddenly three places in his body that had a strange aura. These three places were devouring more Golden Hepta Qi at a faster rate.
"Oh, I've finally found three more acupuncture points!" Zhou Tong's face revealed a hint of joy.
During this period of time, Zhou Tong relied on the Divine Striking Stone's ability to devour different stones and minerals to stimulate his body and acupuncture points, stimulating many of the acupuncture points that hadn't been revealed yet. During this period of time, he had already found the location of 17 acupuncture points with this ability.
Every acupuncture point in the human body had different abilities. These three acupuncture points had a great reaction to the Golden Hepta Qi, so every time Zhou Tong devoured the Golden Hepta Qi, there would be some reaction.
"Acupuncture points open!" Zhou Tong carefully comprehended for a while and thoroughly figured out the location of the acupuncture points. Then, he poured his fist intent into them. These three acupuncture points suddenly shook slightly, and then Divine Spirits appeared.
At the same time, all kinds of power between heaven and earth crazily poured into these acupuncture points. Then, one acupuncture point opened up a hundred acupuncture points, and these acupuncture points were condensed to the peak of the Human Immortal level.
"There are already two hundred acupuncture points …" Zhou Tong looked inside his body and saw that there were already two hundred godly spirits in his body. Each godly spirit was breathing in the acupuncture points, inhaling and exhaling all kinds of energy between heaven and earth, further strengthening and condensing his body.
"It's a pity that the Great Way of Devouring Heaven hasn't been perfected yet … It seems that this time, I can only pass the sixth-level Thunder Tribulation. For a long time, my real strongest skill will be the Martial Way of Human Immortal." Zhou Tong shook his head, feeling a little regretful.
He had been in this world for too short a time, and his accumulation and foundation were seriously insufficient.
If he had come ten years earlier, he would have used that time to travel all over the world and eat all kinds of rare treasures between heaven and earth. Now, he was afraid that he would be able to break through the Sun Spirit and shatter the vacuum.
Zhou Tong slowly got up, opened the window, looked at the distant sky, and said leisurely, "The weather has changed. Spring has arrived, and the spring thunder is coming."
At this moment, outside the window, the sun suddenly dimmed, as if a dark cloud covered the sun. Then, a muffled thunder came from the sky!
The spring thunder sounded!
