The Divine Medicine's Past Life

The Divine Medicine's Past Life

After sitting in meditation for three full days, Zhou Tong finally opened his eyes. Opening, arranging, and combining the Gates of Potential had taken him all three days.

"The Sea of Wheels Realm has reached completion just like that... My heavens!" The moment he opened his eyes, a trace of disbelief flashed through Zhou Tong's heart. His cultivation had advanced far too quickly.

This opportunity was almost comparable to the opportunity the Desolate Heaven Emperor had when creating a method. It had practically allowed him to grasp the essence and true nature of the Sky Shrouding Method in an instant. That was why his progress had been so terrifyingly swift.

Under normal cultivation, even with sufficient resources, it would likely have taken one or two years.

"But what a pity... This cultivation only made use of a small portion of the Gates of Potential in the Sea of Wheels Realm. A large portion remains unused!" Zhou Tong examined his Sea of Wheels Realm, feeling somewhat regretful.

A completed secret realm did not mean it could no longer improve.

A cultivator in the Dao Palace Realm might have cultivated his Sea of Wheels Realm to completion. A Saint's Sea of Wheels Realm would likewise be complete. Yet whether in scale or quality, that Dao Palace cultivator's Wheel Sea would be far inferior to a Saint's!

"The Feather Transformation Scripture contains no cultivation method for a single secret realm. If I want to continue advancing, I must enter the Dao Palace Realm and use a higher realm to strike back at it, further utilizing those Gates of Potential that remain unused!" Zhou Tong frowned, vaguely displeased.

Once he reached a higher realm in the future, he could open such Gates of Potential all the same. If he could not make use of them now, would this once-in-a-millennium opportunity not simply go to waste?

"But... I have no secret method for cultivating a single secret realm at all. I simply have no way to utilize this portion of the Gates of Potential!" The more Zhou Tong thought about it, the more regretful he became. His current realm was too low, and he was wasting this opportunity.

"This is Kunlun. There must be some ancient scriptures here, so long as I search carefully!"

"Oh no, my Sea of Wheels Realm has reached completion. Doesn't that mean my Ten Heavenly Caves are about to collapse?!" Zhou Tong suddenly recalled his Ten Heavenly Caves and immediately shifted his attention outside his body.

But when he looked, he was instantly astonished. "Huh, this is... My Ten Heavenly Caves have become like this?"

The Ten Heavenly Caves around him encircled his body and connected with one another, transforming into an incomparably majestic Divine Ring. It glittered brilliantly, divine radiance illuminating the nine heavens.

The Divine Ring hung in the air, dazzling and radiant, completely enveloping Zhou Tong. Clear light cascaded down, peaceful and sacred.

"A Divine Ring? My Ten Heavenly Caves have actually turned into a connected Divine Ring?" Zhou Tong's heart shook violently. He had never expected his Ten Heavenly Caves to become like this.

"I remember the Desolate Heaven Emperor also had such a Divine Ring. His seemed temporary... No, mine isn't. Mine is permanent!" Just as Zhou Tong was about to investigate, he sensed that this Divine Ring was not temporary at all, but permanent.

No matter how he circulated his power, the Divine Ring remained wholly connected. There was not the slightest instability, nor any sign of separating.

"Does this count as a different kind of Unique Heavenly Cave? Have I resolved the root of the conflict between the Chaotic Ancient Method and the Sky Shrouding Method?" This thought could not help flashing through Zhou Tong's mind.

He looked once more at the Divine Ring outside his body.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed as though a real Immortal Domain lay within the Divine Ring before his eyes. There was no longer any trace of the Ten Heavenly Caves. It was as if the interior of this Divine Ring contained a brand-new heaven and earth, a brand-new world.

Zhou Tong saw that in that world, the Thunder Emperor formed from his runes sat high above the nine heavens, like a deity looking down upon heaven and earth. Amid the slightly illusory mountains and forests were Suanni, Thunder Sky Sparrows, Golden-Winged Great Pengs, Taotie, Pixiu, Five-Colored Peacocks, Primordial Vast Oxen, and Lightning Bugs, all "breathing"...

"All these creatures are motionless... My comprehension of these precious techniques is still insufficient!" Zhou Tong shook his head, but soon the corner of his eye caught sight of something strange moving within that world.

"The White Tiger Divine Medicine... The White Tiger Divine Medicine is running. It seems uneasy within the world created by my connected Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings!" Zhou Tong smiled. He understood that unless he acted, the White Tiger Divine Medicine could never escape through its own power.

In other words, from this day onward, the possibility of the White Tiger Divine Medicine escaping had been eliminated.

"Eh... Speaking of cultivation methods, wasn't the White Tiger Divine Medicine's past life the White Tiger Immortal King? Why not use the Reincarnation Mirror to look at it?"

The thought immediately piqued Zhou Tong's interest. He instantly poured all his divine power into the Reincarnation Mirror, directing it toward the White Tiger Divine Medicine that was constantly running within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

"Wenglong!!"

At once, the memories of the White Tiger Divine Medicine's previous life manifested.

"Damn it, I nearly forgot. Divine medicines can undergo nirvana. The White Tiger Divine Medicine's previous life was still the White Tiger Divine Medicine!" Zhou Tong cursed aloud as soon as he saw it.

What he saw was a White Tiger-like seed planted into the soil, after which it took root and sprouted...

"Damn, who knows how many times this divine medicine has undergone nirvana! Who knows how long each of its lives lasts!" Zhou Tong could not help growing anxious. He was still too weak. Even after pouring in all his power, he could see less than a hundred years of this divine medicine's previous life at most.

"Try to filter out the cultivation memories seen by the White Tiger Divine Medicine!" Zhou Tong conveyed his intense desire to the Reincarnation Mirror, and the image on its surface immediately blurred.

The next image that returned showed a Great Sage sitting in cultivation and comprehending the Dao. Heaven Flowers drifted down around him, golden light blazed brilliantly, and countless strange phenomena soared into the sky.

"..." Zhou Tong's mouth twitched.

What could he possibly see from this kind of cultivation scene?!

"I want to see the Dao Rhyme of the Great Dao and some scriptures!" Zhou Tong once again sent his intention into the Reincarnation Mirror.

The image immediately shifted, and a scripture appeared before him.

It was still that Great Sage from before. He had obtained a fragment of an ancient scripture and was studying it.

This portion had been seen by the White Tiger Divine Medicine in its previous life and preserved as a memory.

"This scripture is... the Fuxi Emperor Scripture!!" Zhou Tong became intensely interested. This was an ancient scripture passed down from Great Emperor Fuxi, peerlessly powerful and domineering.

But as he continued reading, Zhou Tong was disappointed. This portion of the Fuxi Emperor Scripture contained only the Immortal Platform Scroll, not the ancient Sea of Qi Realm scripture or the single-secret-realm cultivation method he wanted.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter if I can't obtain a method for cultivating a single secret realm... The Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body must have its own unique inheritance!" Zhou Tong considered it for a moment, then finally gave up on the matter.

The Primordial Sacred Body had its own unique inheritance. The Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, which stood on the same level, surely possessed a similar inheritance.

Moreover, unlike the Primordial Sacred Body, whose inheritance had nearly been severed, the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body's inheritance remained completely intact. There might be countless cultivators on the Hegemon Body's ancestral star cultivating it.

That sort of secret method would certainly be the most suitable for the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body!

"But perhaps my Reincarnation Mirror can reveal someone whose previous life was an Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body?" This was the last hope left in Zhou Tong's heart.

"Keep looking. I refuse to believe the White Tiger Divine Medicine only remembered this one ancient scripture from its previous life!" Zhou Tong quickly continued browsing.
