Gai Jiuyou
Before a desolate mountain, Gai Jiuyou and the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion stood side by side.
"Senior, the person you mentioned lives in a place like this?" The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion was somewhat surprised. This place lacked the essence of heaven and earth, and it did not seem like the place where a Quasi-Emperor would live in seclusion.
"You'll find out soon enough if you wait here a moment!" Gai Jiuyou said with a smile.
Just then, a dark hole suddenly appeared in the rock face of the desolate mountain, and a person walked out of it.
"What? Zhou Tong? How could it be you?" The Old Mansion Lord Mysterious Scholar Mansion's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Who are you?" Zhou Tong asked, feeling a little guilty.
He never expected that the person standing at his door would be the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion. When he was pretending to be the Great Emperor, he had tricked this old sage into calling him "senior" several times.
"Boy, you're really dishonest! You've been deceiving this old man for so long!" The Old Mansion Lord's eyes widened, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant. Back in the Mysterious Scholar Mansion, he had bowed countless times, called him "senior" countless times, and held him in high esteem for an unknown period of time.
But when I met him today, it turned out to be this damned brat!!
That's incredibly audacious!
They were being hunted down by the entire Big Dipper system and didn't even dare to show their faces, yet they still dared to pull this stunt.
"Senior, let's talk this out!" Zhou Tong smiled awkwardly.
"Where is Zi Xia, whom you tricked away?" The Old Mansion Lord's face was very unfriendly.
This guy has been lying to me for so long, yet he doesn't feel a single bit apologetic, and he even tells me to talk things out.
"Please rest assured, senior, Purple Haze Fairy is fine and has found her happiness!" Zhou Tong was not bothered by this and explained it directly to the Old Mansion Lord.
"What? Zi Xia is actually with the Primordial Sacred Body?" the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion exclaimed in surprise.
Even Gai Jiuyou, who was standing to the side, showed a surprised expression. "You really have an amazing plan. Do you want to cultivate a second Wu Shi the Great?"
"Greetings, Senior Gai!" Zhou Tong smiled slightly.
Although the old man hadn't said much, Zhou Tong, observing his demeanor, could tell that the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion held this seemingly sickly old man in high regard.
Given this identity, coupled with his mortal-like aura and the reason why his cave dwelling was exposed, Zhou Tong naturally guessed that this person was Gai Jiuyou, an almost invincible existence in this world.
"Thank you for your miraculous medicine, I can hold on for a little longer!" Gai Jiuyou smiled, very amiable. "You've made quite a stir recently, haven't you!"
"Did you really wipe out the Blue Demon Clan?" The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion was also somewhat solemn and incredulous.
Zhou Tong's name had long been known throughout the entire Big Dipper. When he first became famous, he was just a powerful figure, but now, more than a decade later, he has actually cultivated to the King Eighth Heaven. No one can match his cultivation speed.
But he simply couldn't believe that he could wipe out the Blue Demon Clan by himself.
The gap is too big. Even a master of the Eight Restrictions Great Accomplishment King cannot be a match for the worst saint. The barrier of the Saint Realm is simply indestructible, not to mention that the Blue Demon Clan has a being who is close to Great Sage.
Zhou Tong nodded slightly and said, "I'd say that's about right!"
"It really is you!" The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion was also somewhat shocked and couldn't help but re-examine Zhou Tong.
Bold yet meticulous, he not only survived the encirclement and suppression of the various holy lands unscathed, but also gained a great deal of benefits from them; with astonishing talent, in just over ten years, he has directly cultivated from the Holy Lord to the current King Eighth Heaven realm!
In a daze, the Old Mansion Lord couldn't help but recall all the geniuses that Mysterious Scholar Mansion had taken in over the past few decades.
He was making comparisons in his mind, and the figures of various geniuses emerged one by one, comparing them with Zhou Tong in front of him.
He quickly realized that none of the prodigies he had taken in at his Mysterious Scholar Mansion could compare to Zhou Tong before him. Whether it was innate physique, courage, or talent, they were far, far inferior.
Those prodigies, though all born extraordinary, none could match the innate physique of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body; those prodigies, though all ambitious, none possessed the courage to defy the world; those prodigies, though all gifted, none achieved such results at such a young age.
In a daze, the Old Mansion Lord seemed to see an Emperor Star rising slowly.
"Even if Zhou Tong cannot become an emperor, his Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body is enough to make him invincible and suppress the world." This thought flashed through the Old Mansion Lord's mind.
"Young friend, your skills are amazing! I admire you! I admire you!" Gai Jiuyou nodded with a smile, as if he had thought of something.
He had witnessed Zhou Tong unleash the Great Sage might of a Great Sage by using Great Sage Artifact, so he naturally guessed Zhou Tong's methods. However, he hadn't expected that Zhou Tong would actually have the courage to face a Sage or even Saint King simply by relying on external force.
"However, while the Blue Demon Clan deserves to die for slaughtering our human race, your rash action, young friend, may provoke a full-scale confrontation between our human race and the Ancient Races. If a full-scale war breaks out, the casualties will likely be considerable!" Gai Jiuyou continued.
"With you here, senior, I doubt the Ancient Races can cause any trouble!" Zhou Tong looked at Gai Jiuyou. "If the Ancient Races want war, then let's fight them. If destroying a few royal families doesn't deter them, then let's destroy a few Imperial Clan!"
"Exterminate a few Imperial Clan? Aren't you afraid the heavens and earth will collapse?" The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion couldn't help but raise his voice and exclaim in surprise when he heard Zhou Tong's fearless words.
"What's there to be afraid of? How many Ancient Emperor Weapon do their Ancient Races have? How many do our human races have? A comparison like this makes the difference in strength obvious!" Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at the Old Mansion Lord. So cowardly, no wonder the human race was always bullied in the original story.
In the original story, during the Myriad Races Assembly, Jiang Taixu intimidated the Ancient Races, and with the appearance of Gai Jiuyou and others, peace was finally restored to the human race.
However, peace didn't last long, as the Ancient Races started causing trouble again. It wasn't until Gai Jiuyou wiped out the six major ferocious clans that things finally calmed down.
This period of peace didn't last long, as the Ancient Races resumed their antics until the Human Demon destroyed the Myriad Dragon Nest lineage!
In Zhou Tong's view, what the human race needs to stand firm in the wave of the Ancient Races ' resurgence is not compromise, but war!
As long as they can carve out a place for themselves through battle, the Ancient Races will naturally be afraid.
If Gai Jiuyou had directly taken action during the Myriad Races Assembly and wiped out a Imperial Clan with Imperial Weapon, none of the subsequent events would have occurred!
"Imperial Weapon are powerful, but it depends on who wields them!" Gai Jiuyou shook his head. "I'm old and useless now, unable to make a move many times. Besides, there might still be supreme figures hiding in the shadows among the Ancient Races... What!?"
Gai Jiuyou's originally gloomy expression instantly brightened.
"Senior, has your ambition been buried by the years?" Zhou Tong pushed thirty streams of white, misty air, each several feet long and exuding a rich Immortal Qi aura, toward Gai Jiuyou.
"The North Pole Immortal Light!" Gai Jiuyou exclaimed in shock.
