Pondering the Profound Meaning

After resolving the issue of the Purple-Gold Battleship, the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin continued its voyage.

Although only Zhou Tong, Pang Bo, Ye Fan, Zi Xia, and Xiao Nannan were on the Three Lives Bronze Coffin, they were not alone on their journey. Every now and then, lightning would strike the cosmos, the lightning that struck Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Zi Xia as they broke through to higher realms.

Zhou Tong remained seated quietly atop the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, feeling the desolation of the universe, contemplating the passage of time, and sensing the changes in the Void the Great.

These were rare peaceful years. He continuously studied the scriptures, precious techniques, and secret methods he had acquired, slowly integrating the most essential elements into his heart.

Among the secret arts, the one he studied the most was naturally the Ten Evils Treasure Art.

During his time in Big Dipper, Zhou Tong was always "busy," either searching for the Immortal Divine Medicine and the Ten Evils Treasure Art, or immersed in cultivation. Therefore, his understanding of the Ten Evils Treasure Art was still superficial, merely touching upon the core but not delving deeper.

What I truly comprehended most deeply were the techniques I used to perform "special" reincarnations by utilizing the special power of the Reincarnation Mirror.

In fact, this is quite normal. The fact that he was able to cultivate to the point of near -Dao Severing in just over a decade, while still maintaining the combat power of the Eight Restrictions, is already an incredible speed of cultivation.

Now, he finally has a quiet time to calmly comprehend the Ten Evils Treasure Art and conduct more in-depth research on it.

In particular, the profound meaning of the Ten Evils Treasure Art is related to the path of Ancestral Return body of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body that he has been comprehending, and is related to the crucial method of the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form.

During this period, Zhou Tong watched the scenes of the Desolate Heaven Emperor dismantling the profound mysteries one after another, and he gained some insights. He further comprehended the Ten Evils Treasure Art and successfully transformed the runes of the Ten Evils Treasure Art into the Dao Pattern of the Sky Shrouding Method.

The runes of the Chaotic Ancient Method Law and the Dao Pattern of the Sky Shrouding Method are slightly different.

This transformation originally required at least the cultivation level of Quasi-Emperor to complete; however, after witnessing the Desolate Heaven Emperor dismantle the profound mysteries, Zhou Tong no longer needed to comprehend it himself. He directly obtained the answer and only needed to deduce it slightly.

On the other hand, in terms of scriptures, he studied the scriptures he cultivated the most— the Dao Scripture, the Feather Transformation Scripture, the Empress West Scripture, the Emperor Zun Scripture, the Hengyu Scripture, the Indestructible Heavenly Merit, the Great Emperor Scripture, the Taiyin True Scripture, the True Sun Scripture, and the Divine Emperor Scripture.

These ten scriptures are all the scriptures that Zhou Tong himself practiced in his Sky Shrouding Method.

Although the Ten Evils Treasure Art of the Chaotic Ancient Method are Zhou Tong's main combat techniques now, the scriptures of the Sky Shrouding Method are the foundation of his current combat power.

The Sea of Wheels Realm: Primarily cultivate the Feather Transformation Scripture, supplemented by the Dao Scripture; the Dao Palace Realm: Primarily cultivate the Emperor Zun Scripture, supplemented by the Empress West Scripture Hengyu Scripture; the Four Extremities Realm: Solely cultivate the Indestructible Heavenly Merit; the Dragon Transformation Realm: Primarily cultivate the Undying Heavenly Art, supplemented by the Supreme Great Emperor Scripture; the Taiyin Human Emperor and Sun Emperor Scriptures combine to form the Primordial Spirit, forging the Supreme Immortal Platform; finally, the Divine Emperor Scripture cultivates the Latent Life, an unparalleled life-preserving technique!

He has been studying these ten ancient scriptures for many years and has been making unremitting efforts to unify them and connect them with himself as the Dragon Bone.

He had once used the single-realm cultivation method of the Sacred Body Lineage to barely connect the main and auxiliary cultivation scriptures of the three secret realms: the Sea of Wheels Realm, the Dao Palace Realm, and the Dragon Transformation Realm. However, Zhou Tong understood that to fully master these scriptures, he would ultimately need the inheritance of the Hegemon Body Lineage, as the Saint Body's inheritance was not suitable for the Hegemon Body.

Later, with the help of the Natural Great Dao and the Primordial Immortal Scripture of the Chaotic Ancient Method and the Immortal Ancient Method, he initially connected the Five Great Secret Realms, causing the mysteries of the Five Great Secret Realms to merge to some extent.

But all of this is not enough.

Whether it's the methods of the Sacred Body Lineage, the Natural Great Dao, the Chaotic Ancient Method, the Immortal Ancient Method, or even the inheritance of the Hegemon Body Lineage that may be obtained in the future, they are all other people's methods and techniques, all external forces.

The only true path to truly mastering the Five Great Secret Realms is to create your own ultimate technique!

Only by using one's own profound techniques and connecting the Five Great Secret Realms can one achieve perfection.

"Buzz!!"

Zhou Tong sat quietly on the Three Lives Bronze Coffin, pondering the profound meaning of the scriptures for three consecutive years. The Bodhi Tree remained rooted within the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, emitting wisps of Daoist inspiration that seeped into Zhou Tong's body.

On that very day, Zhou Tong suddenly felt a jolt of clarity in his mind.

He possessed a serene tranquility, having entered a state of spiritual enlightenment after years of seclusion, and finally once again entered a state of divine forbiddenness.

The truths that I had not understood before suddenly became clear at this moment, and I was in a state of spiritual tranquility.

"The Dao, as a thing, is elusive and indistinct. Indistinct and elusive, yet within it are images; elusive and indistinct, yet within it are things; profound and mysterious, yet within it is essence..."

A faint chanting sound gradually rose from his body. Within the Dao Palace Realm, the Past Self and the Dao Self emerged, indistinctly, chanting for him in this life.

Many scriptures appeared, like ancient characters cast in metal, swirling around his body; the spectacle was truly astonishing.

Listening to the scriptures and witnessing the strange phenomena, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Zi Xia, who were not far away, were all startled.

"These scriptures... Dao Scripture and the Great Emperor Scripture! What scriptures is Little Tyrant cultivating? This is too chaotic!" Pang Bo's face showed a strange expression.

"Not only that, there are also the auras of the Hengyu Scripture, the Empress West Scripture, and the Feather Transformation Scripture!" Compared to Pang Bo, Ye Fan could see it more clearly, and some of the scriptures' meanings were things he had comprehended before.

"At least ten different doctrines manifested in him, as if they were gradually being absorbed and unified!" As Innate Dao Embryo, Purple Haze Fairy felt this even more clearly.

It was only when she realized this that she was somewhat shocked. There are only Five Great Secret Realms in the human body, yet Zhou Tong has actually cultivated ten Great Emperor Scriptures? Doesn't that mean he has cultivated two scriptures in each secret realm?

Is this how you cultivate?

Can such intermittent and completely disjointed training really produce such terrifying combat power?

The scriptures, like heavenly music, like the grandest bells, resounded continuously on the Three Lives Bronze Coffin. All the profound meanings of the scriptures that he knew flowed from his heart. He did not deliberately try to comprehend them, but the profound meanings of the scriptures naturally surged into his heart.

In Divine Prohibition State, one becomes divine and spiritual, possessing an indescribable sense of the Dao. One knows what is right and what is wrong, and one can instinctively comprehend one's own scriptures.

It took a full half hour for the magnificent celestial sound to slowly dissipate.

At this moment, Zhou Tong opened his eyes, which were deep and calm.

"It still doesn't work... My cultivation level is too low to create my own ancient scripture..." Zhou Tong shook his head and said softly.

"What? You want to create your own ancient scripture?"

Ye Fan and the others were all speechless when they heard Zhou Tong's voice.

"It was just an idea, but it failed... At least after Dao Severing or even becoming a saint, one will barely be qualified to create one's own scripture!" Zhou Tong shook his head. He was not discouraged. Although he did not create a scripture this time, he still gained a lot from the enlightenment.

Now, there are faint signs that the scriptures of his Five Great Secret Realms are being connected.

This breakthrough didn't come from external forces like other people's secret techniques, but from his own enlightenment over the past few years.

All insights come from one's own understanding and perception.

This realization gave him a sense of the Dao, causing the ancient scriptures he practiced to resonate with him.

Over the past three years, Zhou Tong has entered the Divine Prohibition State eight times; this was the ninth time.

It was precisely because of the vast accumulation of knowledge gained from the previous eight divine prohibitions that such results were achieved during the ninth divine prohibition.

If it were anyone else at the Second Layer of Immortal Platform realm, let alone mastering the Five Great Secret Realms of different ancient scriptures through their own understanding, they might not even be able to fully comprehend a complete Great Emperor Scripture.

"Alas, Brother Zhou is truly talented. In this Lifetime, you are already at the forefront of the path to enlightenment, invincible under heaven!" Purple Haze Fairy exclaimed.

Back in the Mysterious Scholar Mansion, countless geniuses were discussing who would be able to defeat Zhou Tong and ascend to the Emperor's Path. Those prodigies were all full of vigor and spoke eloquently.

However, after actually getting to know Zhou Tong, Zi Xia was shocked to discover that there were really very few people in the entire Mysterious Scholar Mansion who could be considered worthy of her attention.

"Being invincible in this world is still a long way off. This Lifetime is extraordinary. The geniuses, Imperial Son, and ancient Great Emperor who were sealed away by the ancient Ancient Emperor and Imperial Son of Lifetime have already been born. It won't be easy to prove your Dao in this Lifetime!" Zhou Tong sighed inwardly.

Zhou Tong is not afraid of any Imperial Son, Imperial Son, or geniuses from all ages. The biggest challenge in his path to enlightenment in this Lifetime is the Golden Crow in the Heavenly Soldier Ancient Star and the Undying Heavenly Empress in the Phoenix Nest.
