Human Race Saints
Just after those Ancestor King left, a Sickly Old Man arrived near the Blue Demon Abyss.
Several human saints accompanied him. If Zhou Tong were here, he would surely recognize one of them as the Old Woman he had met deep in the Northern Plains, and another as the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.
These people are now the pillars of the human race.
The elderly man at the head of the group was Gai Jiuyou, and next to him were the Northern Region's Number One Bandit and Wei Yi of the Tian Xuan Holy Land.
"The Blue Demon Clan has really been wiped out. Who did it? Gu Tianshu should have left Big Dipper and headed to the starry sky after telling us about the situation at Sacred Cliff." The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion was somewhat puzzled. He looked at Gai Jiuyou, the leader, and the Old Woman.
To destroy Blue Demon Abyss, one would need at least the cultivation level of Great Sage, which is beyond the capabilities of the few mentioned above. Only Gai Jiuyou and the Old Woman here possess such abilities.
"Since Gu Tianshu has already left, I don't know which Great Sage of our human race is still alive..." The Old Woman shook her head.
"This style isn't my senior brother's either. As far as I know, he has already left Big Dipper and embarked on the Ancient Starry Road!" Tianxuan Wei Yi also shook his head, indicating that it couldn't have been the Old Madman's doing.
"Aside from the Western Desert and the foundations of the Great Sage, there should only be a few of us human saints left in the entire Big Dipper. Could we have overlooked someone?" The Northern Region's Number One Bandit frowned. "Could it be that other Ancient Races did this, framing us?"
"Those Ancient Races aren't united either. There are several Imperial Clan, and other royal families are also in conflict. Could it be that a certain race wants our human race to go to war with some Imperial Clan so they can reap the benefits?"
These words from the Northern Region's Number One Bandit immediately alerted the others.
However, Gai Jiuyou shook his head and said, "Although some clues have been wiped clean, I can indeed feel the unique blood and energy of the human race. It was definitely not done by the Ancient Races, but by a human cultivator."
"Did we really forget someone?" Wei Yi, somewhat surprised.
"It's alright if we miss him. Judging from his actions, he should be on our side. However, his presence might have some impact on our plans!"
The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion looked at Gai Jiuyou and asked, "Senior, should the plan still proceed as normal? What if our plan conflicts with that person's situation and we fail at the last minute?"
Gai Jiuyou pondered for a moment, then a smile appeared on his sickly face. He said, "The plan remains unchanged. Notify Jade Pool to distribute invitations! Our human race needs to have a good talk with their Ancient Races to discuss the division of territory and resolve some conflicts."
"What should we do with this person? A Great Sage is outside our plans. If he acts recklessly and ruins our plans, then all our efforts will be in vain!" The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion said with some worry.
"Don't worry, I already know who did it!" Gai Jiuyou was very calm; he had already sensed a familiar aura here.
"Who is it?" the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion exclaimed in surprise.
"You know him too? Do you still remember the person who triggered the marks of the saints in the Mysterious Scholar Mansion?" Gai Jiuyou smiled.
"What! It's actually that senior!!" The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion was shocked. Recalling the figure surrounded by Seven-Colored Divine Light, he couldn't help but feel boundless longing and admiration.
Gai Jiuyou then looked at Wei Yi and the others, and said, "According to the plan, let's go and inform Jade Pool first!"
As he spoke, he looked at the Old Mansion Lord the Mysterious Scholar Mansion: "Let's go, let's go see the person who wiped out the Blue Demon Clan!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, in a desolate place in the Northern Region.
Zhou Tong sat quietly in a makeshift cave dwelling.
He was organizing his findings from this trip.
The scriptures of the Blue Demon Clan were utterly insignificant to him; his true gain lay in the wisp of Heavenly Dao will he comprehended during Heavenly Tribulation Heavenly Dao Will.
This Heavenly Dao Will is the true greatest gain; it represents the heavens, the imprint of this world, and even an alternative manifestation of the Heavenly Heart Imprint.
"The Heavenly Dao Will —perhaps this is the root cause of the collapse of the Dao Heart of those two Saints of the Blue Demon Clan!" Zhou Tong said thoughtfully.
The two saints of the Blue Demon Clan suffered a crushing defeat, and it happened too quickly.
In fact, before that battle, Zhou Tong had already prepared for a bloody battle, and he was even prepared to use his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings against the enemy.
But to my surprise, those two Blue Demon Clan Saints were defeated on their own, their Dao Heart collapsed, and their combat power was reduced to less than one-tenth. So they were easily defeated by me.
While it was certainly due to their own wavering Dao Heart, a significant reason also lay in this wisp of Heavenly Dao Will. The Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao Will, originating from Heavenly Tribulation, was drawn out by Zhou Tong using the Thunder Emperor Method, causing the Dao Heart of these two Saints of the Blue Demon Clan to completely collapse.
"If my Thunder Emperor Method were to advance further, and every move I made contained the Heavenly Dao Will, what would that be like? On the Emperor's Path, who could rival me?" Zhou Tong became more and more excited as he thought about it. This was simply a golden road, Heavenly Connection Great Dao leading to the throne of the Great Emperor.
The Thunder Emperor Method was the first law Zhou Tong comprehended on his path of cultivation, and it was also the law he spent the longest time comprehending. He used it and comprehended it every time he underwent tribulation.
In addition, he had previously used the ultimate secret of "Dragon and Phoenix Bring Auspiciousness," which brought this technique to a new peak, allowing Zhou Tong to touch upon something as terrifying as "Heavenly Dao Will" in a short period of time.
"The Ten Evils Treasure Art should all contain something similar. As long as you cultivate them to a certain level, they all have a Heavenly Connection Great Dao to becoming Great Emperor!" Zhou Tong thought to himself with some emotion. The power of the Ten Evils Treasure Art was about to be truly unleashed at this moment.
"From now on, I will devote myself to studying the Ten Evils Treasure Art!" Zhou Tong made up his mind.
He acquired many techniques that were no less powerful than the Ten Evils Treasure Art Ten Evils Treasure Art, and some were even stronger. For example, the Immortal Sutra, the Immortal Tribulation Sword Art Peace Calamity Art among the three great sword techniques, the killing move of the person who created the Immortal Ancient Era Cultivation System — the World-Destroying Fist, and the killing move "When the Golden Crow Cries, the Emperor's Fall Era Through the Ages."
However powerful these things are, they cannot be integrated into Zhou Tong's current system. He can only occasionally comprehend a part of their essence and absorb some of their profound meaning.
His true path lies beyond the Ten Evils Treasure Art, in the Divine Form of the Hegemon Body, and on the Battle Immortal Path.
He calmed his mind, formed hand seals, and countless Lightning Runes, True Dragon Runes, and Immortal Phoenix Runes appeared around him. These countless runes began to combine and arrange themselves around him.
Zhou Tong's body was sometimes radiating the earth-shattering roar of dragons, sometimes burning with Divine Fire, and sometimes exploding with thunder. The runes of the three Ten Evils Treasure Art — Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique, True Dragon Treasure Art Technique, and Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art —flashed alternately on his body as he experimented with various combinations, hoping to completely integrate these three treasure techniques into one.
With his previous experience with the Grass Character Sword Art, and the results of his two battles against the Sage, countless bolts of lightning gradually appeared around Zhou Tong, some like Immortal Phoenix, some like True Dragon, and wisps of amplifying power began to emerge.
"It's going to work! I'll be able to perfect this move in a year at most!" Zhou Tong said with a smile.
However, his expression quickly changed slightly. "Hmm? Someone has triggered my Array Patterns! Who could it be?"
