Yin Tiande

Xuandu Cave Pure Land, with towering purple rocks, smooth cliffs, Dragon Grass growing, ginseng and Kirin lying alone under a blue stone, silver ribbons hanging down, mist rising, spirit birds flying, and old medicines exuding fragrance.

On this day, in the Taiqing Sacred Realm, the Eight Sceneries Palace, which had not appeared in the world for more than ten years, suddenly appeared. Its purple tiles shimmered with light, and the ancient hall was shrouded in mist, as if it were located outside the Thirty-Three Heavens.

At the same time, a man of ordinary appearance and average build, who looked extremely plain from any angle, stepped out. He sighed softly, stood in the Taiqing Sacred Realm, in front of the Eight Sceneries Palace, overlooking the magnificent landscape.

"Lu Ya is dead, Yi Qingwu has been taken away... Although I have never cared about you, you are, after all, my sworn brothers and my fiancée!"

At this point, his eyes suddenly sharpened, completely losing their previous calmness, and burst forth with two terrifying rays of Sun Emperor, each tens of miles long, like two terrifying suns.

"Boom!!"

At the same time, the Vast Purple Qi three thousand miles, and he was enveloped by the endless Purple Qi, just like a saint.

"My people cannot die in vain, nor can they be kidnapped by you without cause!"

His words were calm, yet contained an extremely terrifying power that emanated from the Taiqing Sacred Realm, traveling for countless miles until it could be heard throughout the entire Great Desolation.

On this day, Yin Tiande, the master of the Eight Sceneries Palace, emerged from seclusion and appeared. He only said one sentence: he wanted to kill someone. He then unleashed a scroll, which was then displayed.

That was all, yet it shocked everyone!

Who is Yin Tiande?

A powerful and mysterious young man entered the Eight Forbidden Domain ten years ago, defeating all the major Sect Master in the world; later, he even moved into the Eight Sceneries Palace, shaking the world.

Ten years ago, he was almost invincible. No one in the entire Ziwei Star Domain knew just how strong he was. It was as if he had recreated the legendary path of the rise of Great Emperor.

Now that he has emerged from seclusion and is threatening to kill someone, he has naturally stirred up a storm in all directions.

He did not come out in person, but went into seclusion again because his cultivation had reached a critical point and he did not want to waste any time.

However, Yin Tiande was destined to be disappointed. With Zhou Tong's current power, no one dared to provoke him.

Ziwei Star Domain, He Continent.

After touring Luzhou, Zhou Tong immediately took Yi Qingwu to the He Continent. As always, he enjoyed the scenery, sought out the ancient sites of past sages, and quietly studied the "Immortal Sutra."

This is an unparalleled method.

It can temper the physical body, refine the bones, and make one strong, immortal, and eternally indestructible!

Once this scripture is mastered, even if he perishes one day, his physical body will remain intact and can endure for a long time. Even millions of years later, his physical body can be reshaped to recreate his primordial spirit.

After this period of cultivation, Zhou Tong felt that his physical body had become even stronger.

This is an extremely alarming phenomenon. You must know that his current physique is the invincible Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, and he himself stands at the pinnacle of the Eight Restrictions. Any slight increase in strength is a huge step forward.

"The Dao Severing Barrier is an excellent opportunity, a chance for someone to barely break through the Eight Restrictions Zones and better comprehend the Divine Forbidden Zones!" Zhou Tong subconsciously thought of this.

As long as one doesn't Dao Severing that final cut, the calamity won't be triggered, and one can keep their cultivation at the Paragon of the Second Layer of Immortal Platform.

In this way, as long as one's understanding of the Great Dao continues to improve, there is no risk of overflowing knowledge and directly breaking through to a higher level in a short period of time. Instead, one can continuously accumulate knowledge, accumulating it deeper and deeper, and may even be able to get stuck at this level and comprehend the divine restrictions.

This kind of accumulation is not about polishing the foundation, but about accumulating strength for a future breakthrough; the deeper the accumulation, the more likely one will be to soar to an extremely profound realm once the Dao Severing!

Of course, if one is truly stuck at this level, when one's understanding reaches an extremely profound level, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and one might directly Reverse-Slaying the Great Dao.

As Zhou Tong Dao Yi advanced, eventually traversing the entire He Continent before setting sail once more and entering the Western Sea.

After entering the Western Sea, Zhou Tong headed west towards the place in the Great Sage's memory that he had collected in Jade Pool.

The Western Sea was calm and the blue waters stretched to the horizon. Occasionally, ancient beasts would appear, revealing parts of their mountain-like bodies, a terrifying sight.

"Where are you taking me?" Once we were actually in the sea, Yi Qingwu started to panic.

In the past few months, she had not suffered the insults she had imagined while by Zhou Tong's side; in fact, in Yi Qingwu's opinion, Zhou Tong, apart from being domineering, had treated her with respect.

So she hadn't been worried before.

But now that she's actually out at sea, she's starting to worry.

She worried that Zhou Tong might have other motives for capturing her, such as sending her somewhere for a blood sacrifice? Was there anything special about her Guanghan Spirit Body?

"How do you think I compare to Yin Tiande?" Zhou Tong didn't answer Yi Qingwu's question, but instead posed a completely new one.

Yi Qingwu's expression changed slightly, but she then fell into thought.

In the past, she might have easily brushed off such a question; but now that she was Zhou Tong 'Zhou Tong prisoner, she dared not ignore his question.

She glanced at Zhou Tong, pondered for a moment as if trying to guess his thoughts, and then said, "Although Yin Tiande is exceptionally talented and has the potential to attain enlightenment, his courage is far inferior to yours! He doesn't have the guts to openly and honestly make an enemy of the entire cultivation world!"

"Oh? You mean Yin Tiande is just a scoundrel with talent but no substance?" Zhou Tong asked rhetorically.

Yi Qingwu was taken aback. She hadn't meant it that way at all, but she looked at Zhou Tong again, unable to figure out what he was thinking, so she could only bite the bullet and say, "Yin Tiande is indeed cunning and unpredictable."

"It is said that you were betrothed to Yin Tiande by the Supreme Elder of your Guanghan Palace. Logically speaking, you don't have the right to choose for yourself. If you were given a certain degree of freedom to choose between me and Yin Tiande, who would you choose?" Zhou Tong looked at Yi Qingwu with a smile, waiting for her answer.

Seeing Zhou Tong's expression, Yi Qingwu was even more stunned, and couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. "What does this mean? Why compare me to Yin Tiande? Does he like me? Is he also one of my suitors?"

The moment this thought crossed her mind, it immediately led her astray, making her even more confused. She had no idea what Zhou Tong was thinking.

She answered instinctively, "Yin Tiande is not as good as you, but..."

"Crack!!"

A soft sound interrupted Yi Qingwu's thought of continuing to speak. She turned her head and her expression changed drastically.

"You... what... what is this?" Yi Qingwu asked in a trembling voice as she looked at a small array platform in Zhou Tong's hand.

"It's nothing, just a recording Array Patterns!" Zhou Tong chuckled. "Miss Yi Qingwu, with a little tact in your statement, and considering how long you've been with me, it's enough to convince outsiders that Yin Tiande is being cuckolded..."

"You..." Yi Qingwu was immediately enraged.

But she quickly realized what was going on, and her eyes gradually darkened. "So that's how it is. You were just using me. Your real target is Yin Tiande! You just want to use my name to strike at Yin Tiande's invincible momentum and break his heart to attain enlightenment."

"If you think this will discourage Yin Tiande's desire to attain enlightenment, then you are sorely mistaken. You don't understand Yin Tiande at all!" Yi Qingwu, somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Whether I understand Yin Tiande or not is irrelevant, but do you understand me?" Zhou Tong chuckled.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you! It's just that for a while, you'll have to stay by my side." Zhou Tong opened his eyes, glanced at Yi Qingwu, and said calmly.

Yi Qingwu was indeed beautiful. Among the women Zhou Tong had ever seen, only Jade Pool Saintess and Yan Ruyu could compare to her.

However, looks can't put food on the table. In this cruel world, only one's own strength matters.

He was very pressed for time; he couldn't possibly learn all the secret scriptures in tens of thousands of years.

With so many scriptures and secret techniques to comprehend, Zhou Tong didn't have the time and energy to waste on women.

Why bother with women? Isn't being a top student better? Isn't living forever better?

Bringing Yi Qingwu along only invites hatred and draws upon the karma of all living beings.

"Does he have another purpose? But what is it?" Yi Qingwu's expression changed slightly. Only now did she realize Zhou Tong's unfathomable thoughts, and she had no idea what his purpose was.

If it weren't to undermine Yin Tiande's Dao Heart, why would he have gone to such lengths?

Zhou Tong paid little attention to Yi Qingwu, continuing his cultivation and journey. After half a month of stopping and starting, he finally arrived at a remote, lifeless sea area, where an island sat in the desolate ocean.

The island appears to be mostly bare rock, devoid of life. Although it covers an area of five hundred li, it seems quite ordinary and lacks any vitality.

Standing to the side, Yi Qingwu was surprised. "This is his destination? There's no life in this sea area at all. What is he going to do here? Or is there something on this island?"

The unease in her heart had not disappeared. Zhou Tong was simply too strong, so strong that when she stood next to him, she couldn't even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

She has a severe lack of security.

"This is it... According to the information I found, the Phoenix Blood Red Gold Mine in the Ziwei Star Domain is on this island!" A hint of excitement flashed in Zhou Tong's eyes.

The reason this island is devoid of life is entirely because the Great Sage set up an array here, diverting all the life force of the island and even the entire surrounding sea area to nourish the Immortal Gold Vein on the island.

"According to that Great Sage's memories, when he first discovered it, there were only about 100,000 catties of Phoenix Blood Red Gold here. I don't know how much the Immortal Metal has grown in the past 100,000 years."

Filled with excitement, Zhou Tong flew straight towards the island.
