Within the elven hotel near the Fiend Castle.
In the past century, Zhou Tong had been living in this hotel. This hotel was extremely expensive. A single year was thirty thousand inkstones, so a hundred years was three million inkstones. However, in the past century, he had earned nearly two hundred billion inkstones from the missions alone. Three million inkstones was a small fortune.
Fiend missions. One star missions had a reward of roughly a hundred thousand inkstones. Two star missions had a reward of a hundred thousand to five hundred thousand inkstones. Three star missions generally had a reward of five hundred thousand to five million inkstones. However, from Four Star onwards, the rewards increased dramatically. Four Star missions had a reward of a million to fifty million inkstones. Five Star missions had a reward of fifty million to a billion inkstones. Six Star missions had a reward of a billion to ten billion inkstones.
Zhou Tong's ten extremely difficult six-star missions alone had allowed him to earn nearly a hundred billion inkstones.
At this moment, Zhou Tong was quietly seated in the meditative position on the grass in his little courtyard.
"Oh … after so many years, I've finally truly gained insight into the Profound Mysteries of Gravitational Space, and I've also found a point of convergence with the other four profound mysteries. How rare!" Zhou Tong suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy.
In the past century, during the first fifty years, his Laws of the Earth had already completely fused four profound mysteries: the Profound Mysteries of the Essence of the Earth, the Profound Mysteries of Vitality, the Profound Mysteries of Strength, and the Profound Mysteries of the Throbbing Pulse of the World. But what came next was a bottleneck. In the end, he was stuck at Worldwalking and Gravitational Space, unable to even gain a basic level of insight.
Thus, there was nothing for it. In the next fifty years, Zhou Tong's divine earth clone had been researching how to fuse profound mysteries … how to fuse the Throbbing Pulse of the Laws of the Earth with the Laws of Destruction.
And now, he had finally gained a sense of the fifth profound mystery of the Laws of the Earth … Gravitational Space.
"However, my previous guess was correct. My innate supreme technique should be the result of the fusion of Gravitational Space, Strength, and Vitality!" After truly beginning to gain insight into Gravitational Space, Zhou Tong had already understood what the final profound mystery his innate supreme technique lacked was.
"Take it slow. There will come a day when I'll completely fuse them!" Zhou Tong secretly said to himself.
Based on Zhou Tong's own estimations, within five hundred years, the fusion of these five profound mysteries would reach its limit. Only the final bottleneck remained.
Profound mysteries of the Laws, as long as one had gained a basic understanding of them and was compatible with other profound mysteries of the Laws, it would be very easy to deduce them before reaching full mastery.
Especially for people like Zhou Tong, it was incomparably fast.
His soul's intrinsic quality was extremely powerful, a thousand times that of an ordinary Midgod. Naturally, his deduction speed was also a thousand times that of an ordinary Midgod. Moreover, he was someone who had experienced other worlds and had already comprehended many of the Laws' profound mysteries. Now, he was merely trying to comprehend them once more in a different environment.
If it weren't for the barriers of Law Comprehension and Large Success, he would have been able to reach Grand Completion in a thousand years.
"However, it's about time to walk around!" After pondering for a while, Zhou Tong decided to relax a little. The path of cultivation was always about tension and relaxation.
Over the past hundred years, he had either been fighting or cultivating. He simply didn't have the time to experience the leisurely life in Hell. Now, it was time for him to go out and have a look at the local customs of Hell.
Demon Castle.
"Lord Kahn!"
"Greetings, Lord Kahn!"
Zhou Tong had just walked down from the Demon Castle, and instantly, one respectful gaze after another turned to look at him.
"My friend Kahn, your soul has been hidden to such an extent. Haha …" Right at this moment, a slightly magnetic voice rang out, and a violet-haired, silver-eyed man walked in from outside the Demon Castle, sighing in amazement.
"City Governor!"
"Greetings, Lord City Governor!"
Following this voice, many people came to their senses and immediately bowed.
"Guterence, you are here as well!" Zhou Tong glanced at the violet-haired, silver-eyed man, revealing a hint of a smile.
This person was the city governor of Violet Cloud City, a Seven Star Fiend – Fiend Violetcloud.
Fiend Violetcloud was a fairly ancient Seven Star Fiend of the Infernal Realm. He was extremely skilled in the Laws of Water and Lightning, and even this city was named after his Fiend title.
"Guterence" was the name of Fiend Violetcloud. However, not many people knew his real name, and even if they did, without sufficient power, they wouldn't dare to openly call him by his real name.
In the past century, Zhou Tong's fame had risen. Naturally, he had attracted the attention of quite a few people, including the city governor of Violet Cloud City, Guterence.
"I was just about to take a look. If you aren't busy, why don't you come and have a drink or two?" Guterence walked to a nearby table and invited Zhou Tong.
The first floor of the Demon Castle actually functioned as a bar for Fiends to drink and chat.
"Might as well!" Zhou Tong gladly accepted the invitation.
"Give me two bottles of 'Bluefini'. Put it on my tab!" Guterence shouted towards the receptionist.
And then, Guterence looked at Zhou Tong and said, "Just now, I saw you come down from upstairs. You didn't accept a Seven Star Fiend mission, did you?"
"Not really. It was a very simple five star guard mission." Zhou Tong shook his head.
"You've changed your personality? Why did you suddenly accept a guard mission? When are you leaving? Where is your destination? " Guterence was startled. In the past century, Zhou Tong had only accepted combat missions. Now, he was suddenly accepting a guard mission?
"I'm leaving in eight days. My destination is the Starmist Sea. I've been fighting here for a century. There's no point in continuing to fight for a while. I might as well go take a look around. Perhaps I'll make some breakthroughs! "Zhou Tong laughed as he poured himself a cup of wine, clinking it against Guterence's, then drained it.
"You've reached a bottleneck as well!" Guterence sighed. "Alas, bottlenecks … alas, I've been stuck here for billions of years. I've never been able to find a way to fuse my fifth profound mystery with the other profound mysteries. I don't know when I'll break through!"
"Why are you in such a rush? You're the governor of a city. As long as you don't offend anyone too powerful, you can stay here forever. One day, you'll break through. "Zhou Tong said leisurely.
After a hundred years of cultivation, Zhou Tong's Law of Destruction had indeed reached a bottleneck.
Although he had already comprehended Annihilation, his fusion with the other four Annihilations had reached the final bottleneck. At the same time, he didn't have any new insights, so he was unable to break through to the next realm.
"That's not something someone like you would say." Guterence laughed.
Zhou Tong laughed, then changed the topic, saying, "Speaking of which, I'm about to leave this place. You've collected information on those super experts, such as Asuras and Purgatory Commanders, as well as those rare cultivation notes. I'll pay for a copy!"
"Haha, those things, if you want, I'll go back and organize them. Then, I'll send a copy to you!" Guterence laughed.
In the past, he had bragged to Zhou Tong about his collection. It was a collection of books he had collected in Hell for billions of years. It even included the understanding of the various profound mysteries of the laws of super experts. Many of them were unique copies that couldn't be seen in the outside world.
In the past, Zhou Tong didn't care too much about it. But now that he had accepted this escort mission, he might as well read some books on the way to pass the time. Perhaps he might be able to see the possibility of improvement from those unique copies.
"Many thanks!" Zhou Tong thanked him, then continued drinking and chatting.
The two chatted about the many things Guterence had seen and heard over the countless years, as well as the great battles he had witnessed. They also talked about the changes in Hell over the countless years …
The two drank and chatted, and only left when it was almost time for curfew.
On the morning of the eighth day, Zhou Tong bid farewell to the Elven Inn he had stayed in for over a hundred years. He checked out and headed out of the city.
