Purple Sun Lamp

Purple Sun Lamp

The White Tiger Divine Medicine's previous life had spanned tens of thousands of years, while Zhou Tong could only see roughly a hundred years of it. Moreover, he had wasted a great deal of time searching through its memories.

Thus, in the end, aside from the "Fuxi Emperor Scripture—Immortal Platform Scroll," he had only obtained a scripture created by a Great Sage. Though it was complete, it still fell far short of an ancient Great Emperor scripture.

"This ancient scripture created by Di Lan of the God Race can be considered an inheritance of the God Race!" Zhou Tong carefully committed its contents to memory, silently comparing it with the "Feather Transformation Scripture." He could not help but shake his head.

"Though Di Lan was a Ninth Heaven Great Sage and one of the closest to becoming a Quasi-Emperor, his Wheel Sea section is more than a level below that of the Feather Ascension Great Emperor... While it has its own unique features and some impressive highlights, the gap is still far too great!" Zhou Tong thought.

He was only at the Sea of Wheels Realm himself, so he could not offer much of an assessment regarding the Dao Palace Realm volume. However, when it came to the Sea of Wheels Realm, he had more than enough authority to speak.

Clearly, the ancient scripture created by Di Lan used far fewer Gates of Potential in its Sea of Wheels Realm section than the Feather Transformation Scripture did, and the difference was considerable. The Feather Transformation Scripture used a full ten percent more Gates of Potential than Di Lan's scripture, and their arrangement was also far more profound.

Do not underestimate that mere ten percent; it was already the difference between heaven and earth.

The gap between ninety and one hundred was greater than the gap between zero and sixty.

"The three secret arts created by Di Lan are quite powerful! Unfortunately, the strongest among them can only be learned by those with God Race blood..." Zhou Tong felt somewhat helpless again.

Of the three secret arts, the strongest was a phenomenon!

That was right—a phenomenon!

In the Sky Shrouding Method, phenomena could be said to be immensely important. They were like a domain, one that suppressed opponents and enhanced oneself, while also possessing other wondrous uses.

However, most phenomena could be cultivated. Yet the strongest batch of phenomena were often innate to certain bloodlines. For example, the several phenomena possessed by the Primordial Sacred Body, or the various phenomena of the Divine Body.

And now, Zhou Tong knew of one phenomenon that could be cultivated by those with God Race blood—the Kingdom of All Gods!

Though it too was an acquired phenomenon, it could only be cultivated by those with God Race blood.

"Forget the phenomenon. Perhaps my Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body will naturally develop one in the future!" Zhou Tong swiftly skipped over the strongest phenomenon and began slowly comprehending the other two secret arts.

The first secret art—Three Lives Memory—was an unimaginable method of conversion. It used supreme Magic Power to drag an opponent into a place resembling an Illusionary Realm, then altered the opponent's memories and perceptions. It was a method that changed a person at their roots. It was somewhat like the Ruthless Great Emperor's God-Crossing Art, but far less powerful.

The second secret art—Heavenly Gang Finger.

"Three Lives Memory is not very useful, and it does not suit my temperament. This Heavenly Gang Finger, on the other hand, is somewhat interesting!" Zhou Tong briefly studied it before setting it aside.

Compared with these secret arts, he still possessed the higher-level Ten Evils Treasure Art. Such treasure arts would remain immensely useful even at the Immortal King realm. There was no need to spend too much time comprehending other secret arts. They were not secret techniques created by a Great Emperor, after all. A little study and cultivation would be enough to broaden his knowledge.

"However, with my Ten Heavenly Caves having become like this, perhaps I can create a forbidden secret art!"

With a thought from Zhou Tong, the Divine Ring beside him suddenly shrank. In the end, it even changed position, quietly floating above his palm. He closed his hand and actually grasped the Divine Ring.

"This can even be used as a magic treasure!" Zhou Tong's mouth twitched as he immediately tried to swing this Heavenly Cave.

Yet the Divine Ring was like an immovable boulder from the dawn of World Creation.

"I can only activate it with my thoughts and divine sense, not move it through brute force?" Zhou Tong was somewhat surprised, but he quickly rejected that idea. "No, brute force can move it. It is simply that I am too weak!"

"Move!" With that thought, Zhou Tong immediately circulated the divine power throughout his body—

"Buzz!"

The Divine Ring forged from the Ten Heavenly Caves trembled in midair. A hum instantly rang out, and the Void quivered. Then, the massive boulder beside Zhou Tong silently turned to powder, leaving the space before him wide open.

"This... what terrifying divine might!" Zhou Tong's face filled with wild joy. With this Divine Ring, he had practically gained another trump card!

"That's it, I understand now. This Divine Ring was formed from my Ten Heavenly Caves, equivalent to the power of ten 'worlds.' Naturally, I find it difficult to move!" Only now did Zhou Tong realize just how heaven-defying the Divine Ring he had accidentally forged was.

"Forget it, I won't think about this anymore... The White Tiger Divine Medicine, though!" A thought suddenly flashed through Zhou Tong's mind, and he immediately sent a voice transmission to the White Tiger Divine Medicine.

The White Tiger Divine Medicine, which had been racing through the world within the Ten Heavenly Caves, suddenly trembled. Its unease quickly faded, and it calmed down. Then, it sent Zhou Tong an affirmative reply.

Zhou Tong's eyes immediately lit up, and he returned to Dragon Mountain.

He had not gone far. Instead, he headed straight for the first Great Sage corpse he had encountered halfway up Dragon Mountain. It was also the corpse closest to the safe path, barely ten meters away from it.

The corpse wore an old Daoist robe, with a wooden hairpin tucked into its gray hair. It remained utterly motionless, surrounded by faint, hazy mist drifting from the Immortal-Nurturing Land ahead. Its presence was astonishing.

"White Tiger Divine Medicine, it's up to you!" Zhou Tong felt somewhat nervous. He immediately opened the Ten Heavenly Caves, and the White Tiger Divine Medicine transformed into a streak of white light and rushed into the killing formation.

The White Tiger Divine Medicine had gained the killing formation's recognition, so it did not draw any killing power.

In the end, the White Tiger Divine Medicine stopped behind the Great Sage's corpse. A branch covered in faint vortex-like patterns lashed fiercely at the corpse.

"Rumble!!"

The corpse suddenly shook, instantly drawing down killing power that filled the sky. The corpse seemed to be dissolving into the Dao, transforming into strands of light that vanished from Dragon Mountain.

At the same time, a divine lamp appeared.

The White Tiger Divine Medicine moved with incredible speed. Its dense roots tightly wrapped around the lamp before dragging it directly to Zhou Tong's side.

Then, it swiftly released the divine lamp and burrowed back into Zhou Tong's Ten Heavenly Caves.

"Success! A peak Great Sage treasure, an Heirloom Sacred Weapon—at last, I have a treasure to protect my path to the Big Dipper Star Domain!!" Zhou Tong's eyes revealed a trace of ecstatic joy as he looked at the lamp.

It was a lotus-like lamp, purple throughout, forged from Nine Heavens Purple Jade King. It had no base, only a lotus-shaped lamp holder, beneath which hung a string of tassels that gave it an exceptionally elegant appearance.

It radiated divine light, as though it would burn eternally without extinguishing. It quietly floated beside Zhou Tong, breathing out immortal radiance.

Zhou Tong slowly brought his hand toward the lamp. At once, the Deity within the lamp sent out a strand of divine sense. Zhou Tong froze. The ecstasy on his face instantly vanished, and his brows furrowed.

The lamp, however, paid no heed to that. It transformed into a streak of light, entered Zhou Tong's Wheel Sea, and immediately went out.

"So your name is the Purple Sun Lamp. The one who died was the Purple Sun Great Sage, an unparalleled Great Sage with one foot already in the Quasi-Emperor realm..." Zhou Tong murmured. "You want me to spread the Purple Sun Great Sage's teachings and pass down the 'Purple Sun Scripture'? It seems I have another task to complete in Big Dipper..."
