Intelligence on Immortal Materials
After everyone left, Zhou Tong looked at Ye Fan and said, "You really are realistic. You rejected the Mysterious Scholar Mansion without even having the ancient scripture!"
"No matter how many insights from the sages are passed down, they're not as useful as an ancient scripture!" Ye Fan shook his head. "I'll deal with these so-called insights from the sages after I have cultivation methods and even various secret techniques!"
"What I said before wasn't false. You have to walk your own path. The insights of those who came before you are ultimately theirs!" Ye Fan said softly. "Which Great Emperor achieved enlightenment by following the path of those who came before him?"
"You can say that after you 'Dao Severing!" Zhou Tong chuckled.
"The path of cultivation also has three realms. The first realm: seeing mountains as mountains and water as water. The second realm: seeing mountains not as mountains and water not as water. The third realm: seeing mountains as mountains and water as water again."
"You see, the first and third realms are actually the same. But the way you say it and the way a saint says it are completely different!"
"You insist that you've forged your own path, but don't you realize that this is also the path of those who came before you? You're merely reciting the words and experiences of those who came before you..."
"These words don't apply to you right now! At least not until you forge your own path, they have no credibility whatsoever!"
"It's like someone saying, 'I am invincible, invincible throughout history and the future.' Who would believe that? Before you achieve it, everything you say is just empty talk, at most just an 'ideal'!"
"Keep it up! You're not in a position to talk big right now!" Zhou Tong patted Ye Fan on the shoulder and walked past him.
After parting ways with Ye Fan and the others, Zhou Tong continued to stroll quietly around Jade Pool.
"Speaking of which... my Reincarnation Mirror hasn't seen anyone in a long time... Now that heroes are gathered in Jade Pool, there must be some who were important figures in their previous lives!" A thought suddenly arose in Zhou Tong's mind.
Zhou Tong casually strolled around the scenery of Jade Pool, while slowly activating the power of the Reincarnation Mirror, constantly probing the past lives of the cultivators around him.
"Most of them are people from about 200,000 years ago..." Zhou Tong took a walk around and had a general idea of what was going on. He immediately activated the Reincarnation Mirror and pointed it at a person not far away.
Suddenly, a series of images appeared, showing that this person's previous life was just an ordinary cultivator who had reached the limit of the Four Extremities Realm.
"This person is too weak, not interesting!" Zhou Tong glanced at the person's memories, quickly skipped over them, and went to find the second person.
He walked and looked around, and only after he had almost exhausted all his divine power did he finally return to his residence.
Sitting cross-legged in his room, Zhou Tong continuously absorbed the abundant spiritual energy of the Jade Pool Holy Land to restore his divine power.
"Call!"
After a long while, Zhou Tong, who had successfully regained his divine power, slowly exhaled.
"I've seen the past lives of nearly three hundred people along the way, and finally I've exhausted my strength. Most of them were just minor cultivators in their past lives, but there were a couple of truly important figures among them!" Zhou Tong recalled what he had seen and a smile appeared on his face.
One of them was Great Sage who came to Big Dipper from the Ziwei Star Domain 300,000 years ago. He was the Supreme Elder of the Sun God Cult and had cultivated the "True Sun Scripture" to the highest level.
The other was a rogue cultivator from the same era as the Wu Shi the Great, and his memories were much more interesting.
He had no fixed lineage, and what he learned and cultivated was extremely eclectic. He was proficient in alchemy, weapon crafting, talismans, feng shui, and Source Technique. He learned a little from one thing and a little from another, which eventually allowed him to cultivate to the peak of the Great Sage and forge his own path. However, it was a pity that he perished under the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation.
"The complete ' True Sun Scripture ' has filled in the gaps in my previous path. With this complete ' True Sun Scripture,' my path of cultivating both Yin and Yang will be much smoother. However, before that, I still need to study the Kunpeng Method..."
"As for this second Great Sage who perished under the Quasi-Emperor Tribulation, his knowledge was astonishing. He had traveled to all sorts of places in the world, and even visited several Life Planet."
Zhou Tong valued the memories of the second Great Sage highly, because they contained the locations of some supreme treasures. That Great Sage was born on Feixian Star and visited five life star regions: Feather Transformation, Heavenly Abyss, Gou Chen, Jade Well Star Domain, and Ziwei Star, before finally arriving at the Big Dipper.
"The life star regions of Yuhua, Heavenly Abyss, Gou Chen, and Jade Well Star Domain all contain traces of his enlightenment, and even some intentionally left-behind inheritances and Fortune, which can be considered treasures. However, compared with the treasures of the Ziwei Star Domain, these things are far inferior."
"This Great Sage found a Immortal Gold Vein in Ziwei Ancient Star that nurtured Phoenix Blood Red Gold. Instead of taking it directly, he set up an array of restrictions to let it continue to nurture for a while, waiting to take it when he became Quasi-Emperor... This is really a bargain for me!"
"It seems that a trip to Ziwei Star is really necessary," Zhou Tong thought to himself.
"However, speaking of which, this Great Sage's experience does confirm my previous guess. Every life-bearing star field actually has one or two kinds of Immortal Gold Vein."
Zhou Tong recalled the Great Sage's experiences. He had traveled to many Life Planet and had seen Immortal Metal unearthed three or four times on almost every planet. Although most of the immortal Immortal Metal was about the size of a thumb, and occasionally there was Immortal Metal the size of a fist, the number of times was still quite a lot.
"He witnessed seven excavations of Immortal Metal on Feixian Star. Among the excavated Immortal Metal, three were Feathered Green Gold and four were Immortal Tear Green Gold. He also witnessed four excavations of Immortal Metal on Yuhua Star, all of which were Feathered Green Gold. He witnessed three excavations of Immortal Metal on Tianyuan Star, all of which were Divine Mark Purple Gold. He witnessed four excavations of Immortal Metal on Gouchen Star, all of which were Dragon Pattern Black Gold. In addition to Phoenix Blood Red Gold, he also saw Eternal Blue Gold several times on Ziwei Star."
"According to the information I have so far, the sources of Immortal Tear Green Gold are Big Dipper and Flying Immortal, the sources of Dragon Pattern Black Gold are Big Dipper and Gou Chen, the sources of Feathered Green Gold are Flying Immortal and Feathered, the source of Divine Mark Purple Gold is Heavenly Abyss, and the sources of Phoenix Blood Red Gold and Eternal Blue Gold are both Ziwei Ancient Star..."
"I wonder what kind of Immortal Metal other Life Planet produce?" Zhou Tong was also a little curious.
He knew of Life Planet such as Eternal Ancient Star, Hegemon Body Ancestral Star, Fire Mulberry, and Earth, but he didn't know what kind of Immortal Metal these Life Planet produced.
"Well, forget about Earth. There won't be any Immortal Metal appearing there for the next 100,000 years. That place is almost dried up by the Immortal Cauldron... But if I'm not mistaken, Huosang Star should Dao Tribulation Gold, Yongheng Star is probably a source of Divine Mark Purple Gold..."
"There are some problems with the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star. According to the records of all previous Hegemonic Bell, they are purple. Could it be that the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star also produces Divine Mark Purple Gold? Or is it that the Immortal Metal is mixed with other divine golds to create the purple Hegemonic Bell?"
"But thinking about it this way, my Hegemonic Bell is probably the strongest Hegemon Body in history!"
As Zhou Tong pondered, his train of thought drifted off to who-knows-where.
