"Finally, we've reached the last type of fruit!" Zhou Tong took out the last type of fruit.

The last type of fruit has a very special appearance. It is shaped like a small round plate, shimmering with blue light, and has eight pale gold scars on it, resembling the Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

Zhou Tong swallowed the fruit directly and began to refine it while sitting cross-legged.

Instantly, the eight innate patterns inside the fruit transformed into the Eight Trigrams, arranging themselves in all directions to surround him, and one mysterious Dao Diagram after another appeared, engulfing him.

In that instant, Zhou Tong seemed to have been elevated, entering an unprecedented state. He was as if he had ascended to heaven, with every pore on his body opening up, as if he were receiving a divine baptism.

This is Divine Prohibition State!

In that instant, Zhou Tong's mind became clearer than ever before, and the secret technique he had half-created— the Thousand Mountain Seal —subconsciously surfaced in his mind.

At this moment, he seemed to have realized something. His hands moved continuously in the Void the Great, and the seal of the Thousand Mountain Seal quickly appeared. It was as if thousands of mountains with different auras and shapes appeared around Zhou Tong.

"We can't evolve them all at once; let's evolve a portion first!" Zhou Tong learned from his previous enlightenment experience.

Last time, he tried to evolve the three thousand divine mountains within the Thousand Mountain Seal at the same time, which resulted in him getting injured instead.

Zhou Tong dispersed most of the sacred mountains around him, leaving only the eight simpler ones.

These eight sacred mountains are also the eight most compatible with the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), perfectly matching the eight innate patterns brought about by the Sacred Fruit.

Zhou Tong's thinking was clearer than ever before, as if a hand was guiding him in the right direction.

The Dao Pattern on these eight sacred mountains are constantly compressing, and Zhou Tong is rapidly comprehending the meaning of all the Dao Pattern in this evolutionary process.

The obstacles that block the way are just pebbles on the roadside in front of the divine barrier, which can be kicked away with a single step; the abysses that lie in the way are just small ditches in front of the divine barrier, which can be stepped over with a single step.

Some obstacles encountered during spiritual practice seemed to completely disappear at this moment.

In his Divine Prohibition State, he was practically a god, an omnipotent god!

Moreover, this experience of divine restriction was not only the result of his own enlightenment, but also a benefit brought by the Sacred Fruit, so it lasted for an unprecedentedly long time.

The eight mountain peaks within the Thousand Mountain Seal actually took shape step by step under this divine restriction!

Those eight mountains eventually transformed into eight very simple symbols.

At this moment, the rare Divine Prohibition State finally disappeared once again; he was not Great Emperor and could not remain there permanently.

Looking at the eight runes in his palm, Zhou Tong's face showed a dreamlike expression. "I never thought that a single experience of divine restriction would allow me to perfect the Eight Mountains! The creation of the Thousand Mountain Seal has finally opened a door and officially begun."

"Can this fruit allow one to experience the Divine Prohibition State? Is this a true Divine Prohibition State, or is it just a coincidence?" Zhou Tong became more and more doubtful as he thought about it. He swallowed a second Bagua Fruit, wanting to trigger the divine restriction once again.

But this time, Zhou Tong did not feel that omnipotent feeling.

He did not enter the forbidden area.

"As expected, it was just an accident before..." Zhou Tong felt a little regretful, but he quickly cheered up. Every time he swallowed the Sacred Fruit, it was an excellent opportunity.

He intends to utilize the eight innate patterns surrounding him once again to master a secret technique.

Eight Extremes Divine Seal!

This is a secret technique created by the Great Emperor Fuxi.

This seal originated from chaos, evolved into the infinite, the infinite into the supreme ultimate, the supreme ultimate gave rise to the two polarities, the two polarities gave rise to the four symbols, and the four symbols gave rise to the eight trigrams.

Great Emperor Fuxi used the Eight Trigrams as the foundation and evolved them into the Eight Extremes of Heaven and Earth, which in turn transformed into eight seals: Heaven, Earth, Mountain, Lake, Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire!

These eight seal techniques interact and evolve, creating all things in the universe.

To cultivate the Eight Extremes Divine Seal, the first thing required is to comprehend the Eight Extremes Divine Patterns.

Zhou Tong sat cross-legged on the ground, with eight innate patterns constantly swirling around him.

Zhou Tong identified the eight innate patterns, directly grasped one of them representing "Heaven," and began to refine it using the Eight Extremes Divine Seal technique. Finally, it transformed into the Heaven Seal and was imprinted on his palm.

Suddenly, a sense of loftiness arose from Zhou Tong.

The Heaven Seal evolves into celestial phenomena. This seal is lofty and profound, like the eternal clouds, ethereal and boundless.

Even though it was only in its initial stages, it made Zhou Tong Tianyi.

With the Heaven Seal completed, the next step is the second seal – the Earth Seal.

The Earth Seal evolves the earth; this seal is extremely heavy, like the grand momentum of mountains and rivers, profound and weighty.

Then came the Mountain Seal, the Marsh Seal, the Wind Seal, the Thunder Seal, the Water Seal, and the Fire Seal.

The Mountain Seal, evolving into mountains, is majestic and imposing, like towering mountains, dignified and magnificent.

The Marsh Seal Swamp evolves into a marshland; the essence of this seal is emptiness, trapping the enemy invisibly.

The Wind Seal: Wind is the breath of the universe, originating from the tip of a blade of grass and dancing beneath the pines and cypresses. This seal is ever-changing; when gentle, it can sway flowers and willows; when frenzied, it can unleash devastating power.

The Thunder Seal manifests as thunder and lightning, with immense power, but only for a moment. Therefore, this seal is incredibly swift; once unleashed, it is invincible.

The Water Seal embodies the essence of all waters under heaven, from rivers and seas to lakes and waterfalls. "Nothing in the world is more yielding and weak than water, yet nothing can overcome the hard and strong." The main theme of this seal is the profound truth that "the weak overcomes the strong, and the yielding overcomes the rigid."

The Fire Seal evolves into countless flames, domineering and unrestrained, like wildfire spreading across the plains, its power unstoppable.

"I have finally mastered the most basic part of the Eight Extremes Divine Seal!" Zhou Tong raised his hand and looked at his palm.

Eight Divine Pattern, resembling the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), were imprinted on his palm, ready to be activated instantly and unleash their power. This was merely the most basic power of the Eight Extremes Divine Seal; as Zhou Tong continued his cultivation, these Divine Pattern would gradually disappear.

However, the disappearance of the Divine Pattern does not mean that the evolution of the Eight Extremes Divine Seal has failed, but is merely the beginning.

The next step is evolution. These eight most basic divine seals evolve step by step, from eight seals to sixty-four seals, from sixty-four seals to four thousand and ninety-six seals, and finally, they gradually become endless.

"Actually, the Eight Extremes Divine Seal and the Nine Secrets: Dou are somewhat similar, but also different..." Zhou Tong kept comprehending the ultimate technique of Great Emperor Fuxi, while also comparing it with the Nine Secrets Nine Secrets: Dou in his mind.

Both of these unique skills possess endless evolutionary potential; they are techniques and methods that can never be exhausted.

"Perhaps all the Ancient Great Emperor possessed similar methods?"

At this thought, Zhou Tong remembered the Flying Immortal Art of the Ruthless Great Emperor.

The Flying Immortal Art is different from the Eight Extremes Divine Seal. It doesn't have so many "fancy" features. It only has that "one," the Eternal Ancient Star and unchanging "one."

That's why the Flying Immortal Art has such terrifying attack power.

Perhaps after cultivating the Eight Extremes Divine Seal to an extremely high level, and then reversing the process to unify the eight seals, one could obtain a terrifying secret technique similar to the Flying Immortal Art.

Zhou Tong kept thinking and deducing in his mind...

His hand seals were also constantly changing. At first, they were the most basic eight seals, but gradually they became more and more complex. Heaven, earth, mountains, marshes Wind and Thunder, water, and fire combined in different ways to produce different powers.

The more combinations and variations there were, the deeper Zhou Tong's understanding of the Eight Extremes Divine Seal became, and finally the eight marks on his palm slowly disappeared.

These eight seals are already deeply imprinted in Zhou Tong's heart; there is no need to imprint them on his body.
