Methods for Countering Divine Thought
After leaving Jade Pool, Zhou Tong crossed to the Southern Region, entered the Taixuan Sect, and gradually arrived at Clumsy Peak.
The peak remains unchanged, just as it was before. There are no magnificent waterfalls, no picturesque scenery, no fragrant flowers or singing birds. There are only a few stone temples that are about to collapse and large patches of wormwood.
With Zhou Tong's current cultivation level, no one could detect his arrival, not even Li Ruoyu had already Dao Severing at Clumsy Peak.
It wasn't until Zhou Tong walked up to Li Ruoyu that he opened his eyes, his face showing surprise. "It's you!"
"Senior, we meet again!" Zhou Tong smiled slightly and bowed to him.
Li Ruoyu nodded with a smile and said, "I'm relieved to see you're safe and sound. You've had a tough time these past few years, and Taixuan Sect owes you so much."
Zhou Tong smiled upon hearing this.
He knew what Li Ruoyu was talking about. It was nothing more than the story of Zhou Tong, who had joined the Tai Xuan Sect but was ultimately wronged and abandoned by the Taixuan Sect, thus becoming a wanted criminal in the entire Big Dipper.
In Li Ruoyu's view, if Tai Xuan Sect had withstood the pressure from the Ji Family and Yaoguang and protected Zhou Tong, Zhou Tong would not have had to become an enemy of the entire Big Dipper cultivation world and the whole world.
"Senior, there's no need for further words. Life is unpredictable. Even without what happened last time, something else would have forced me to leave!" Zhou Tong shook his head. With his fierce and domineering personality, it was impossible for him to stay in any sect. It wasn't anyone's fault; it was entirely determined by his personality.
Character determines destiny, and details determine success or failure.
Nothing in the world is more serious than this.
"Zhou Tong, is that you?" Just then, three voices came from a dilapidated palace not far away.
Zhou Tong turned his head, a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Zhang Wenchang, Lin Jia, Liu Yiyi, what are you two doing here?"
Since arriving in Big Dipper and parting ways in the Primordial Forbidden Land, he hadn't paid much attention to his old classmates; he only saw Li Changqing and Liu Yunzhi once at the last Jade Pool Gathering.
"It was Master who brought us to Clumsy Peak." Zhang Wenchang was a little excited when he saw Zhou Tong, and immediately told him about what had happened over the years.
After Zhou Tong and Ye Fan were wanted by the Tai Xuan Sect, Yaoguang, Ji Family and others, they were exiled by their respective Heavenly Cave. During this time, cultivators from Yaoguang and Ji Family were monitoring them and setting traps, attempting to use them as bait to lure Zhou Tong and Ye Fan into the traps.
But clearly, it was all in vain; Zhou Tong had never even contacted these old classmates.
Later, by chance, Li Ruoyu learned about these things. Feeling indebted to Zhou Tong and Ye Fan, he brought them back to the Tai Xuan Sect and took them under his wing.
"Senior, thank you for your help!" Zhou Tong thanked Li Ruoyu.
Lin Jia then spoke up, "Zhou Tong, for the past ten years or so, you, Ye Fan, and Pang Bo have been hunted down by the Holy Land. We didn't even know anything about you. Seeing you now, we're finally relieved. But what about Ye Fan and Pang Bo? Are they alright?!"
"Don't worry, they're fine. But don't go looking for them. Pang Bo isn't in the Big Dipper Star Domain; he's doing well in the Ziwei Star Domain, where no one is hunting him. As for Ye Fan, he's probably gone into hiding and won't be showing his face for at least a while, so there's no need to worry!" Zhou Tong gave a general account of the situation regarding Pang Bo and Ye Fan.
Zhang Wenchang, Lin Jia, and Liu Yiyi were relieved.
Zhou Tong glanced at the three, thinking to himself, "Zhang Wenchang's fate has returned to the original story. As for Liu Yiyi, I didn't expect her to join the Jade Pool Jade Pool, but instead the Clumsy Peak of the Tai Xuan Sect. Lin Jia even missed out on having a master like the Woodcutter Elder, a Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven. However, these three have suffered quite a bit because of me..."
"Oh, right, Zhou Tong!!" Suddenly, Lin Jia thought of something and immediately took out something.
"A cell phone? You've been with Big Dipper for over twenty years, and it still has power? You're really something, using Lightning Law to charge your cell phone?" Zhou Tong was speechless.
"Never mind all that, I'll show you something!" Lin Jia immediately turned on her phone, pulled up a photo, and showed it to Zhou Tong.
"Zhou Tong, there was another ghostly thing inside the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin, besides us!" Liu Yiyi said nervously. "I never expected it to be right next to us."
Zhou Tong looked at the photo, which showed the Divine Thought of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.
He nodded and said, "Back on Mars, I knew there was this strange thing in that coffin. That's why I distributed the Buddha Treasures from the Great Thunder Sound Temple to scare it away with Buddha Light. Otherwise, several people would have definitely died on the way."
"You already knew?" Zhang Wenchang exclaimed in surprise. "Why didn't you say anything before?"
"Speaking out would only cause panic, and I didn't have any way to deal with this thing back then!" Zhou Tong was also speechless.
However, after a moment of contemplation, he said, "The three of you have suffered a lot because of me. Now I will teach you something. How much you learn depends on yourselves."
As he spoke, Zhou Tong took out a fist-sized piece of Azure Divine Jade, its emerald green light illuminating his palm.
Divine Fire burned, the Azure Divine Jade, under Zhou Tong's control, transformed into a seven-story pagoda.
Zhou Tong: "The ghostly thing that came to Big Dipper with us is called the Divine Thought. It is the undying remnant of a deity after death. It slaughters living beings and destroys everything. It is extremely brutal and extreme."
"Throughout history, the two Great Emperor who have studied this thing most deeply are Lingbao Heavenly Venerate from the Mythological Era and Amitabha Great Emperor from the Buddhist Sect. Lingbao Heavenly Venerate has a ' Scripture of Deliverance ' specifically for this thing, but unfortunately, I have never had the chance to see it. Now I will teach you the methods of dealing with this thing from the Buddhist Sect Great Emperor."
As they spoke, Zhou Tong had already begun to refine the Azure Divine Jade using Buddhist Sect techniques.
One after another, secret incantations and runes flew out from Zhou Tong's palms and fingers, continuously imprinting themselves on the seven-story pagoda.
Zhang Wenchang and Lin Jia kept memorizing the runes that Zhou Tong had carved. They were surprised to find that these runes were very similar to some Buddha Treasures they had seen at the Great Thunder Sound Temple.
"This is a secret mantra used by the Buddhist Sect to suppress the Divine Thought. It was created by the Amitabha Great Emperor and is a method specifically designed to counter the Divine Thought!" Zhou Tong explained to Zhang Wenchang and Lin Jia while refining the pagoda.
The Amitabha Great Emperor had a profound understanding of Divine Thought. He once created the Blood Floating Tu specifically to imprison the Divine Thought of the Taiyin Human Emperor and enhanced the power of Divine Thought, keeping them at their peak forever.
Zhou Tong was not as strong as the Amitabha Great Emperor; he could only refine a cage that could barely imprison the Divine Thought, which was the seven-story Jade Pagoda in his hand.
It took Zhou Tong two whole days to explain the secret methods of the Amitabha Great Emperor to Zhang Wenchang and Lin Jia. At the same time, he also completed the forging of his Jade Pagoda.
A seven-tiered pagoda made of a piece of Azure Divine Jade, crystal clear and extraordinary at first glance.
"Remember, this method is not meant for you to capture the Divine Thought, but rather to give you a means of self-protection when facing the Divine Thought!" Zhou Tong then explained to the two how to use this method.
This method can imprison Divine Thought, but if used in reverse, it can also resist the erosion of Divine Thought.
This is the key to this method's ability to counteract Divine Thought.
As Zhou Tong explained, Zhang Wenchang, Lin Jia, and Liu Yiyi's fear of the Divine Thought dissipated by more than half.
"Perhaps, capturing the Divine Thought of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body could become a backup plan to fight against the Dark Turmoil?" Zhou Tong looked at the seven-story Jade Pagoda he had refined, and this thought flashed through his mind.
"But no rush, let's talk about it after we encounter the Divine Thought... We should compensate these old classmates a little more!" Zhou Tong looked at the three of them, feeling a bit sentimental.
Taixuan Sect Clumsy Peak is far from the hustle and bustle of the world, and it can be considered a good place for cultivation. Their future stay here is now secure.
As long as they can endure loneliness and focus on cultivating the Natural Great Dao of Clumsy Peak, their future achievements will not be too low.
Afterwards, Zhou Tong stayed on the Taixuan Sect Clumsy Peak. Under the guise of discussing the Dao, he left the most basic Sea of Wheels Scroll of the Taiyin True Scripture and the True Sun Scripture on the Clumsy Peak as a way of repaying Li Ruoyu and compensating Zhang Wenchang, Liu Yiyi, and Lin Jia.
