Reuniting with Pang Bo
Based on the memories of that powerful assassin, Zhou Tong successfully infiltrated a base in the Human World.
In the Human World's base, the strongest powerhouse was killed by Zhou Tong Zhou Tong, and no one else could withstand even a single move from him; they were all instantly destroyed by Zhou Tong.
This assassin base didn't have many resources, and everyone lived a very frugal life, probably to train the assassins to adapt to various environments.
Anyway, Zhou Tong didn't get any spoils after he razed the base.
Having secured the base, Zhou Tong turned and headed towards the Holy City.
After returning to the Holy City, Zhou Tong wandered around and finally found Ye Fan, Xiao Nannan, Tu Fei, and Li Heishui again at the Origin Stone Pavilion in a small alley.
"Haha, Zhou Tong, you're finally here! We were saying that if you hadn't come in the last couple of days, we wouldn't have waited for you and would have just left!" Tu Fei laughed. "By the way, let me introduce you to these people."
Before Tu Fei could speak, the bearded young man, with a leopard-like face and piercing eyes, tall and imposing, introduced himself with a loud laugh, saying, "My Wu Zhongtian. I've long heard of Brother Zhou's illustrious name! You've been roaming freely for so long, and none of those holy lands could do anything to you, truly remarkable!!"
"You flatter me!" Zhou Tong nodded slightly.
"This guy is called Liu Kou," Tu Fei said, pointing to a somewhat wild-looking man. He was the grandson of Liu Feng, the sixth great Liu Feng.
"His name is Jiang Huairen." Wu Zhongtian pointed to another young man, the eldest grandson of Jiang Yi, the Ninth Great Bandit. He came from a very prestigious Ancient Desolate Family Jiang Family.
"You've been waiting for me here all these days?" Zhou Tong asked.
"So you Dao Self 've been waiting for you for so long!" Ye Fan, somewhat speechless.
"However, it's not just waiting for you, there's also Pang Bo!"
"Hey, Brother Zhou, it's been a few months. You seem to have become quite unfathomable. You're a bit like those old men..." Suddenly, Tu Fei seemed to have noticed something and asked in surprise, "You... you wouldn't have already broken through to the Immortal Platform Secret Realm, would you!?"
Zhou Tong nodded. "I've managed to break through to the First Layer of Immortal Platform, Fourth Heaven!"
"Hiss!!"
Tu Fei gasped. "The First Layer of Immortal Platform, Fourth Heaven? If you include your Eight Restrictions Battle Power, wouldn't you already be able to rival a powerful expert at the Second Layer of Immortal Platform, Third Heaven?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Tong with some shock; it was surprising that someone in the younger generation had actually caught up with the older generation.
Moreover, he's not just a half-step into the realm of great power, but someone who rivals a true great power!
Ye Fan and the others stared wide-eyed at Zhou Tong, speechless for a long time.
"There's nothing to be surprised about... It's just that it's comparable to the weakest of the powerful beings, not a top-tier one!" Zhou Tong said calmly.
"What do you mean 'nothing to be surprised about'? You're amazing!" Tu Fei exclaimed. "Brother Zhou, you're probably the first person in the younger generation to reach the level of the older generation. Those so-called Holy Son and Saintess, only the previous generation would be qualified to compete with you!"
Zhou Tong shook his head; he had never considered these Holy Son Saintess as rivals.
Aside from those ancient races, among all the holy lands of the entire Big Dipper, perhaps only the Yaoguang Saint Son can be considered a worthy opponent in the future. Even Ji Haoyue is barely capable, and Yaoguang is not yet ready; it's not the time for him to exert his full power yet...
"Amazing! I didn't expect you to have reached the fourth level in just two months. One level every half month, this speed is too fast!" Ye Fan was also shocked. To have cultivated from the Dragon Transformation Great Perfection to the First Layer of Immortal Platform, Fourth Heaven in just two months, this cultivation speed is simply heaven-defying.
"A new level every half month? Are you kidding me!" Zhou Tong shook his head. "The stronger one's divine sense, the greater the advantage at the First Heaven of the Immortal Platform. I went straight to the fourth level after my tribulation... but to cultivate to the Second Layer of Immortal Platform, even at the fastest pace, it will take five or six years..."
"To be confident of reaching the Second Layer of Immortal Platform in five or six years is already incredibly impressive!" Li Heishui stared at Zhou Tong in shock. Not only his combat strength, but even his cultivation speed was monstrous, simply terrifying.
"Zhou Tong, you're already so strong, don't worry about so much. During the Jade Pool Stone Appreciation Convention, let's brothers find a few Saintess. Then, Brother Zhou, we'll see what you can do!" Tu Fei said slyly.
What are you thinking about?
Zhou Tong glanced at Tu Fei, utterly speechless. Someone whose mind is constantly filled with thoughts of Saintess and such—how could someone like that even cultivate? It's as if the heavens are blind...
"However, kidnapping a Saintess ... isn't impossible! It just requires some preparation." Zhou Tong suddenly thought of something, glanced at Ye Fan beside him, and a smile flashed across his face.
"Haha, I knew it! You must be one of us!" Tu Fei laughed.
"Get lost, who's like you!" Zhou Tong glared at him.
Just then, a burly figure appeared at the Origin Stone Pavilion; Pang Bo had arrived.
As his name suggests, he was quite imposing, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a large frame, and was very strong; his arms were as thick as other people's legs.
Now, having cultivated the Ancient Scripture of the Demon Emperor, he possesses a unique aura, powerful and sharp, with piercing eyes, like a Deity descending upon the Demon Clan race.
He had long, flowing black hair, a tall and imposing figure, sharp eyes, and an extremely powerful and majestic aura.
"Pang Bo, you've finally arrived!" Ye Fan looked towards the door first.
"Little Ye Zi, Little Tyrant, you really are here!" Pang Bo laughed and walked in.
"It seems you've changed a lot lately!" Zhou Tong looked Pang Bo up and down; he had grown taller again.
"You know what that old monster has done!" Pang Bo said helplessly.
"However, why did you only arrive now?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled. He had already contacted Pang Bo, so why was Pang Bo only arriving now?
"I went to hunt down the candidate Holy Son of the Yaoguang Holy Land! I didn't expect that guy to run away so fast!" Pang Bo laughed.
Zhou Tong was taken aback. He hadn't expected that even after so many things had changed, Pang Bo would still go after Yaoguang's candidate for Holy Son.
"Brother, you're incredibly brave! You single-handedly chased down the Holy Son of the various holy lands. You're truly a role model for us all, and I admire you greatly!" Tu Fei laughed as he walked out of the house to greet him. "It's rare to see someone like you. Today, let's have a good drink together."
"Ha ha..."
Pang Bo laughed loudly, realizing that the group of people in the room had a special relationship with Ye Fan and Zhou Tong, so he naturally gave them a lot of face and said, "Tonight, let's drink until we drop!"
"We'll drink until we drop... Let's see if you have the guts!" Zhou Tong laughed as well.
Having been in the cultivation world for so long, I have always been cautious, as if standing on the edge of an abyss or walking on thin ice. I have yet to truly open my heart and relax properly!
Let's relax a little today!
"Hehe, Little Tyrant, we haven't had a drinking contest in ten years. I know you have profound cultivation, so if you're so capable, don't try to dispel the alcohol with your internal energy!" Pang Bo shouted at the top of his lungs.
"A defeated opponent!" Zhou Tong also beckoned to Pang Bo with his finger.
"Haha, don't worry, I have the strongest liquor in the entire Holy City!" Tu Fei, Li Heishui, and the others, who also liked to stir things up, immediately laughed and chimed in.
