Dao Marks

"Zhou Tong, your physique has been exposed?" Ye Fan looked at Zhou Tong, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan and said, "Isn't it normal for my physique to be exposed when I make frequent moves?"

The Big Dipper Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body has almost no reputation in the Big Dipper, because this ancient star is almost entirely the territory of the Primordial Sacred Body. As the Hegemon Body, an enemy of all generations, it naturally wouldn't leave any legends on this ancient star.

However, some holy lands, especially those with profound historical foundations and long histories, have produced saints and traveled through the starry sky. They would certainly know that there exists an Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body in the starry sky that can rival the Primordial Sacred Body and, when it reaches its peak, can challenge the Great Emperor.

"It's no big deal if I'm exposed. Does Dao Self physique make me my opponent?" Zhou Tong chuckled. "If I were really that easy to deal with, those holy lands wouldn't have such a headache."

The strongest thing is always a person, not a physique. Moreover, the Heavenly Tyrant Body Lineage is a hegemon in the depths of the universe, dominating a star field for countless years. Who can break the advantage of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body physique?

Trying to deal with Zhou Tong by targeting a physique like the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body is simply impossible; otherwise, how could the Hegemon Body Lineage in the starry sky be so powerful?

Ye Fan remained silent.

Let alone those holy sites, even someone as close to him as myself doesn't know what his trump card is.

Mastery of Array Patterns formations? Proficiency in Source Technique? Terrifying combat power?

It has everything, but it's not entirely the same!

Having known Zhou Tong must have some trump card up his sleeve that he had never used before.

Even Ye Fan didn't know what the ancient scripture he actually cultivated was.

"But Little Tyrant, how did you become a taboo subject?" Pang Bo asked curiously from the side.

"How would I know!" Zhou Tong replied casually.

At that moment, people not far away started talking again.

"Why is the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body a taboo?" someone asked, puzzled. It wasn't some ancient sage or anything like that, so why was it a taboo?

"Hehe, you guys don't know, but I've heard that the Western Desert Buddhist Sect also tried to deduce his traces, but they came up empty-handed as well. However, some news did get out from the Buddhist Sect, and in the end, the entire holy land of Big Dipper forbade any discussion of the Hegemon Body, so he became a taboo!!"

One person clearly knew something but didn't say it all, only revealing half of it to keep the audience in suspense.

Everyone in the tavern was incredibly curious, but no matter how they asked, the man refused to say anything more.

However, Zhou Tong understood. "So that's how it is... No wonder my Karma Fire is getting weaker and weaker, it turns out the Buddhist Sect intervened. They are proficient in the Power of Faith, and it seems they sensed that I was collecting the evil thoughts of sentient beings, so they used this method to stop me..."

"If things continue like this, there's not much point in me continuing to cause trouble for Big Dipper!" Zhou Tong then frowned.

The Buddhist Sect's move was undeniably ruthless, striking precisely at Zhou Tong's current weakness.

If he wants to cultivate a second Immortal Qi, he needs enough karmic energy from all living beings to transform into Karma Fire; if Buddhist Sect does this, even if he causes great things in the future, he will not be able to obtain much karmic energy.

"There's no point in staying in Big Dipper anymore; if I'm going to go to Ziwei Ancient Star, I must go to the Ziwei Star Domain!" Zhou Tong sighed inwardly. He didn't want to stay in Big Dipper anymore and wanted to find another place to cause trouble.

"It's almost time!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.

"Alright, that's about it. In three months, Wang Teng will go to the Ji Family to propose marriage to Ji Ziyue. Let's make our move then!" Zhou Tong stood up and transmitted his Sound Dao to Ye Fan and Pang Bo.

"So what are you going to do for these three months?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

"There are still many places I want to visit, such as the Jade Pool Ruins, the Tai Xuan Sect, the Ancient Path to Immortality in Central Plains, and the Mysterious Scholar Mansion!" Zhou Tong said.

"The Mysterious Scholar Mansion? You still dare to go to the Mysterious Scholar Mansion?" Pang Bo was shocked.

"Aren't you afraid that those holy lands might do something inside the Mysterious Scholar Mansion?" Ye Fan was also shocked; Zhou Tong's audacity was simply too great.

"What's there to be afraid of? I have my own methods!" Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan and Pang Bo and said calmly.

"So, do you want to come with me? I have a little plan that needs your help!" Zhou Tong suddenly thought of something interesting and smiled.

"Do you even have a plan?" Pang Bo was still somewhat skeptical.

"Don't worry, when have I ever been unreliable?" Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at Pang Bo.

"You have a month to take care of some things. We'll meet near the Primordial Forbidden Land then!"

As Zhou Tong spoke, he tossed several Mysterious Jade Platform to them, then waved his hand and left.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo looked at each other in bewilderment.

They couldn't understand where Zhou Tong got his courage from; to say he was audacious was to underestimate him!

"Let's go. Since Zhou Tong dared to make such a decision, he must have some confidence. We just need to be careful," Ye Fan said directly to Pang Bo beside him.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

The Jade Pool Ruins.

Zhou Tong came here again. He stood quietly at the highest point of the stone forest, motionless, his whole being ethereal and natural.

"Thump!"

With a tolling of a bell, pale purple waves of energy burst forth from Zhou Tong's body, spreading throughout the entire stone forest. In an instant, the entire stone forest resounded, emitting a series of resounding sounds like grand bells and great chimes.

"Thump!" "Thump!" "Thump!"...

The sound of bells rang out continuously. The spiritual imprints of the sages of the past, which have endured through the ages, were stirred by him at this moment and resonated with each other, as if hundreds of large bells were vibrating.

Within the stone forest, all the giant rocks were rumbling and shaking, and various holy lights were flashing, illuminating the entire world, making people unable to resist bowing down in worship.

Zhou Tong stood there quietly, still ethereal and otherworldly; but on the Hegemonic Bell, there were now hundreds of blurry marks.

The stone forest in the Jade Pool Ruins was where the powerful figures of Jade Pool comprehended the Dao, and it contains a vast number of Dao imprints. However, these imprints are all in the Void the Great, and no one can discover them.

But today, all of this has been triggered by Zhou Tong.

The power of the Divine Mark Purple Gold was fully revealed in that instant. Although it was only at the initial stage of spiritual communication, it was already able to inscribe the Great Dao Laws of Heaven and Earth.

"I've actually completed the 'Empress West Scripture'!" Zhou Tong was also quite pleased.

The * Empress West Scripture * was a scripture that Zhou Tong valued highly; it was the strongest scripture in the Dao Palace Realm. Previously, Zhou Tong had only obtained a rough draft of the Western Empress's work, which was still some distance from the scriptures cultivated in the Jade Pool.

Now that the scriptures have been completed, Zhou Tong can feel that the new scriptures are much more profound than what he comprehended before. Even the Deity in his Dao Palace Realm are emitting chanting sounds, and the divine power of the Dao Palace has advanced further, reaching a new level.

Three days later, Zhou Tong had already crossed the vast desert and arrived in a desolate area. For hundreds of thousands of miles, there was no sign of human habitation, only endless yellow sand.

The Demon Crossing Territory was once a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains, but a great demon appeared in the Eastern Wasteland. Later, a high monk from the Western Desert came here to subdue the demon and finally successfully converted him.

"The struggle between Buddha and demon has resulted in this barren land. Does Buddha truly save humanity?" Zhou Tong pondered deeply. In truth, Buddha and demon are no different; they are both in a struggle, a struggle against humanity and against the heavens.

Half a day later.

A small boat drifted down the river, with towering green mountains on both banks, the sounds of monkeys howling and Tiger Roar. Zhou Tong stood quietly at the bow, the boat gliding gently in the breeze, his clothes fluttering in the wind, looking like Banished Immortal.

"Sunset Valley, the secluded retreat of an Ancient Saint. Over the past tens of thousands of years, nothing has remained but the Eternal Ancient Star Dao."

"Qing Yi Cliff, a place where Ancient Saint discussed the Dao, has left behind quite a few traces."

"Floating Rain Lake, legend has it that Flood Dragon once attained enlightenment here. Hmm, there really is Flood Dragon's path here..."

"Contention Gorge, legend has it that two sword cultivators who achieved sainthood once fought here, and this gorge is the result of the aftershocks of their sword energy..."

"Ancient Wood Peak, the place where an Ancient Saint deduced the Nine Secrets. Some of that sage's insights into the Nine Secrets: Qian are left here. These are quite valuable..."

In the course of a month, Zhou Tong traveled all over the Eastern Wasteland. He did not attack anyone, but only focused on comprehending the traces left by the sages and leaving one Great Dao mark after another on the Hegemonic Bell...
