Dao Tribulation Gold Profound Meaning
Ziwei Star Domain, Luzhou.
On a moonlit night, the great river flows gently, its surface shimmering in the sunlight.
Zhou Tong piloted a small boat, taking Yi Qingwu along as they leisurely explored the scenery of Luzhou.
The Ziwei Star Domain is vast and boundless, divided into four continents: Luzhou in the north, Bu Continent in the south, Divine Continent in the east, and He Continent in the west. This distribution is almost identical to the four Bu Continent in "Journey to the West".
At this time, a month had passed since he escaped from the Northern Sea Eye, and Yi Qingwu had been his maid (captive) for a month.
Since taking Yi Qingwu away in the Battle of the North Sea, Zhou Tong did not settle down and "retire" peacefully. Instead, he openly took Yi Qingwu to wander around Luzhou in the Ziwei Star Domain.
He was gathering intelligence about the world, and he was also stirring up hatred.
Normally, whenever Yi Qingwu goes out, it causes jealousy and rivalry among the younger generation of talents. Now that she has been taken away by Zhou Tong and is walking around so openly, it is provoking conflict from all sides.
In the first few days, many cultivators came forward with the idea of "a hero saving a damsel in distress," but Zhou Tong dismissed them. After the news of the battle in the North Sea spread, no one dared to provoke him anymore.
Even if the most beautiful woman in the world were the most beautiful, she wouldn't be so beautiful as to make a proud cultivator lose his mind and disregard his life; even if there were such a cultivator, he would have been restrained by his elders long ago.
No one dared to provoke Zhou Tong, such a formidable figure.
During this time, Zhou Tong took Yi Qingwu on a journey of sightseeing and exploration, hoping to obtain more Saint-level Dao Imprints from the Hegemonic Bell.
Meanwhile, having acquired the Fusang Divine Tree, Zhou Tong, while searching for its secrets, also continuously explored the Fusang Divine Tree's past memories using the Reincarnation Mirror.
The predecessor of this Fusang Divine Tree was the World Tree of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, and the predecessor of the World Tree was the immortal root of the Chaotic Ancient Era — the Sun Treasure Tree. The Sun Treasure Tree was something left to future generations by the ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan Era of the Fallen Emperor.
The ancestor of the Golden Crow Clan was extraordinary. He was a supreme Immortal King Giant who participated in creating the Immortal Ancient Method Cultivation System and almost broke through to the King Realm. His strength was no weaker than that of Butcher, a chicken farmer, or a fake medicine seller, and might even be stronger.
Zhou Tong used the Reincarnation Mirror to trace back to the origin, going back to the time of the Sun Treasure Tree.
With Zhou Tong's current strength, each time he sees something, it's already over two thousand years. Even if he sees it three times a day, over the past month, Zhou Tong has seen a full eighteen thousand years.
These 180,000 years are not continuous, but rather 180,000 years that Zhou Tong carefully selected.
He witnessed how the young Desolate Heaven Emperor was born under this divine tree, giving birth to his second Supreme Bone and nurturing his unique Reincarnation Treasure Art.
He saw the supreme immortal Immortal King Giant who created the Immortal Ancient Method Cultivation System discussing and exploring ways to improve Cultivation System.
He also saw the changes in the trajectory of the Great Dao throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands after the Sun Treasure Tree became the World Tree. He even saw the remaining Ten Evils Treasure Art and some unimaginable Immortal Techniques that Zhou Tong had always wanted.
In just one month, Zhou Tong's foundation has grown by an unprecedented rate.
The Heaven-Shrouding Immortal Burning Art, the World-Destroying Fist, the Gu Ancestor Treasure Art, the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art, the Peace Calamity Art, the God Striking Stone Treasure Art, the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Art... It can be said that after completing this job, Zhou Tong almost never needed to deliberately activate the Reincarnation Mirror to see the past lives of certain things again.
He gained so much in just one month.
From the Era of the Fallen Emperor, through the Immortal Ancient Era and the Chaotic Ancient Years, this ancient Fusang Divine Tree has lived for far too long and witnessed far too many things.
Even just a fragment of that memory is so astonishing!
It would probably take hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to completely digest all of these things!
The river was calm and shimmering, with a patch of transparent gray clouds in the sky that lightly obscured the moonlight. A wisp of smoke seemed to rise from the water, creating a hazy, dreamlike scene.
"My comprehension of the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art has been nearly complete during this period, barely meeting the standard!" Zhou Tong opened his eyes, and with a swift grab of his right hand, a golden divine sword appeared in his palm.
This is Wang Teng's Heavenly Emperor Sword, and also the artifact left by the Great Emperor Luangu to his successor for the purpose of Dao Proving Artifact.
It is entirely golden in color, and is made by mixing Primordial Stone and Dao Tribulation Gold.
"It took me more than seven years to gradually erase the Dao Pattern that Wang Teng had imprinted on me through my Vajra Ring!" Zhou Tong sighed softly.
Although Vajra Ring didn't go all out, seven years is still far too long. It's incredibly difficult to erase the Dao Pattern on a weapon without damaging its material.
The higher the level of the Dao Pattern contained within, the greater the difficulty. Zhou Tong could easily erase the Dao Pattern at the Dragon Transformation level in the Sacred Spirit Sword; but with Dao Pattern of Wang Teng's level, even the Vajra Ring would need some time to destroy them.
A hint of surprise appeared in Yi Qingwu's eyes as she stood behind Zhou Tong.
With her knowledge, she could naturally recognize that this sword was an unimaginable sword embryo, a supreme Immortal Material, capable of accompanying a cultivator straight to the Emperor Realm!
"This sword is definitely a weapon left by the Great Emperor to his successor for Dao Proving Artifact. Could it be left by the Sun Sacred Emperor?" Yi Qingwu wondered.
"Zheng!!"
Just then, a sword cry erupted from the golden longsword, with radiant light and streaks of golden lightning swirling around it like sword energy.
At the same time, a strange aura emanated from the golden longsword—the aura of life. At this moment, the divine sword radiated an aura completely different from before.
It came to life!
Within the divine sword, the portion belonging to the Dao Tribulation Gold was completely revived. The aura of life rose up along with wisps of divine light from the Great Dao, and then merged into another material of the divine sword— the Primordial Stone.
The Dao Tribulation Gold and the Primordial Stone had already been refined into a unified whole by the Great Emperor Luangu, but now, with the manifestation of the Dao Tribulation Gold's profound meaning, even the Primordial Stone has begun to exude a strong life force.
The Dao Tribulation Gold continuously transformed into light, evolving into symbols that were constantly imprinted on the Primordial Stone, promoting the fusion of the two materials and spreading the breath of life.
"Indeed, the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning of the Dao Tribulation Gold is related to lightning, but it is not just about lightning, it is also a calamity!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
Before this, when he used the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique to refine the Dao Tribulation Gold, he always felt that he was still lacking something in the profound Immortal Gold Profound Meaning of the Dao Tribulation Gold. But since he obtained the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art, Zhou Tong understood that the last bit he lacked was the "tribulation" itself!
Although the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique can also control Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique contain the mysteries of life and death; the Heavenly Tribulation are both destruction and rebirth.
In terms of "calamity", the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning of Dao Tribulation Gold is more extreme than the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique. The "calamity" it contains does not have as much vitality, but is more extreme and pure destruction and death.
The Immortal Tribulation Sword Art is precisely the most extreme form of destruction.
The three great sword techniques of the Immortal Ancient Era each have their own characteristics. The Grass Character Sword Art is forging matter into a sword, capable of cutting down anything in the world. The Peace Calamity Art is forging the primordial spirit into a sword, specifically for slaying the primordial spirit. The strongest aspect of the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art is its death sword intent.
The Immortal Tribulation Sword Art tells of the tribulations of immortals, with a vast and magnificent sword intent that is terrifying and horrifying.
The mutual reinforcement between the Immortal Tribulation Sword Intent and the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique immediately allowed Zhou Tong to comprehend the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning of the Dao Tribulation Gold.
Dao Tribulation Gold is the fourth Immortal Gold Profound Meaning that Zhou Tong has mastered, following Phoenix Blood Red Gold, Dragon Pattern Black Gold, and Divine Mark Purple Gold.
