Borrowing an Imperial Weapon
The Eastern Wasteland Northern Region is vast and boundless, with each barren land stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, dotted only by a few oases.
Zhou Tong led the Big Black Dog to an oasis filled with water, lakes, and rivers, which was the secluded place of the Azure Flood Dragon King.
Here lies a Small World created by Ancient Saint. Though only a hundred miles in circumference, it is completely isolated from the outside world. Long ago, Zhou Tong rescued Pang Bo here and also easily defeated the Golden-Winged Little Peng King here.
"Boy, did you hide the Saint Body and the Dao Embryo in the Demon Clan?" the Big Black Dog asked.
"They're not here, don't overthink it. I just came here to borrow something!" Zhou Tong said.
"What do the Demon Clan have that you fancy?" The Big Black Dog's eyes lit up instantly.
It knew that with Zhou Tong's current strength and vision, anything that caught his eye was definitely not to be underestimated; it was absolutely a treasure of the world.
"Don't even think about it!" Zhou Tong glared at the Big Black Dog, then continued forward, arriving at the entrance of the Azure Flood Dragon King's Small World.
Although Zhou Tong's reputation was bad among the Ancient Races and the Great Sage of the human race, and he was reviled by many.
However, among the demon race, which values strength above all else, many young demons respect him greatly, especially those demons in the Azure Dragon King's small world. Those who witnessed him suppressing the Golden-Winged Roc King back then regard him as an idol.
Zhou Tong's appearance immediately delighted the Demon Clan of this Small World, who welcomed him into the Small World with great ceremony.
"The Overlord has come to visit, and this old Daoist has failed to greet you properly!" An aged voice came after Zhou Tong entered the Small World.
Zhou Tong turned his head and saw an old Daoist priest walking towards him by the water's edge not far away. He looked very thin, wearing an old Daoist robe, but he was full of energy and vitality, showing no signs of aging at all.
"A demon king!" The Big Black Dog next to him immediately recognized that the old Daoist priest was a king of the Demon Clan.
"So it's Senior Red Dragon King!" Zhou Tong smiled and bowed to the old Daoist.
This person was Red Dragon Daoist, who had an extremely good relationship with Ye Fan in the original story. He was the kind of person who was tricked by Ye Fan several times and still helped Ye Fan count the money. In the years that Zhou Tong went to the Ziwei Star Domain, he had already broken through from a top-level expert to the King stage.
"The Overlord is unparalleled in the world, and his performance at the Jade Pool Gathering has truly showcased the might of the human race, earning our utmost respect!" said the Red Dragon Daoist. "May I ask what brings the Overlord here?"
"I wish to meet Yan Ruyu, a descendant of the Azure Emperor," Zhou Tong.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go inform her now!" Red Dragon Daoist nodded, led Zhou Tong into a palace, and then left.
"Boy, you're looking for Yan Ruyu at this time? Are you after the Azure Emperor Weapon's Weapon?"
The Big Black Dog's eyes darted around, and it quickly realized something. Then it became excited. "Kid, are you so confident that you can borrow the Azure Emperor Weapon? We've inscribed a total of twenty-eight Emperor Formation. Once we activate the Azure Emperor Weapon with these Emperor Formation, we'll be unstoppable!!"
"Let me correct you on one point. It's thirty-two Emperor Formation. Do you think I don't know you've been hoarding four?" Zhou Tong said disdainfully. "Don't forget, I'm in charge of the Nine Secrets: Zu. I know exactly how those materials are consumed. Don't try to play your little tricks on me!"
This damned dog's nature is hard to change; he specializes in killing those he knows well. He even tried to embezzle four Emperor Formation when he was carving them.
"Damn, this kid is too shrewd!" the Big Black Dog muttered under his breath.
Just then, heavenly music drifted from outside the palace; Yan Ruyu had arrived.
The palace was filled with exotic flowers and colorful plants, and the walls were inlaid with many bright pearls and beautiful jade. However, with the arrival of Yan Ruyu, all the brilliance dimmed.
She looked to be no more than twenty years old, with a white dress trailing on the ground, her black hair swaying gently, her long eyelashes fluttering, and her eyes seemingly misty with water, like a divine lotus in bloom, her whole demeanor ethereal.
She represents perfection; every gesture she makes is unparalleled in her elegance, eclipsing the beauty of all flowers and dimming the brilliance of pearls, making all beautiful scenery seem as if covered in dust.
"It's been many years, and Fairy Yan's beauty remains unchanged. A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to obtain an Ageless Immortal Flower, which I'd like to present to you today!" Zhou Tong smiled as he took out a clay pot containing a divine flower and handed it to Yan Ruyu.
This Ageless Immortal Flower has miraculous effects only for the moment it blooms; consuming it can preserve youth and keep one's beauty forever.
It neither prolongs life nor increases lifespan, making it rather useless for male cultivators, and few people value it. However, it drives many female cultivators crazy, which is simply their nature.
Yan Ruyu's exquisite face was filled with surprise, her beautiful eyes fixed on the Ageless Immortal Flower flower.
"Thank you, Your Overlord!" Yan Ruyu was overjoyed; no woman is immune to the allure of beauty.
This smile caused countless Demon Clan in the palace to lose their senses and become dazed. Everyone appreciates and yearns for perfect things.
"Sure enough, men have to be bad." The Big Black Dog muttered under his breath, showing no mercy.
Zhou Tong was immediately speechless, but Yan Ruyu was standing by and couldn't say anything, so she just secretly noted it down.
Yan Ruyu happily accepted the Ageless Immortal Flower that Zhou Tong had given her, and then she caught up with Zhou Tong for a while.
Finally, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but ask, "The Overlord didn't come here specifically to give me the Ageless Immortal Flower, did he?"
"I've come here solely to borrow the Azure Emperor Weapon!" Zhou Tong made no attempt to conceal anything.
"For the ancestral temple of the Central Plains Feathered Divine Dynasty?" Yan Ruyu's voice was like heavenly music, very beautiful.
"I can give you a method and borrow the Azure Emperor Weapon for use," Zhou Tong. "I know that Fairy Yan is a descendant of the Azure Emperor and has the Azure Emperor's wonderful methods, but my method is by no means ordinary."
As he spoke, Zhou Tong pressed his right hand down in mid-air. His palm, translucent and purple, was covered with dense runes, and a burst of intense lightning crackled and exploded, instantly enveloping the area.
The world was ablaze with light, purple lightning dancing with runes!
"This is..." Yan Ruyu was shocked, a look of astonishment appearing in her eyes.
She sensed that this method before her could completely help her master the ultimate secret technique within the Azure Emperor Method.
The scriptures of the Azure Emperor were difficult and obscure, especially since they contained many concepts that belonged to the Chaotic Ancient Method and were very different from the cultivation methods that were popular at the time. Therefore, in just ten thousand years, the Azure Emperor's lineage rapidly declined.
This is not because the Azure Emperor did not leave behind the Azure Emperor Weapon, but because the Azure Emperor's Dao is too difficult!
Compared to other imperial scriptures, the scriptures of the Azure Emperor are difficult to cultivate, difficult to practice, and even difficult to understand.
"How was it?" Zhou Tong released and then withdrew his supernatural power, smiling as he looked at Yan Ruyu.
"What is this law?" Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes sparkled.
"The Suanni clan's inherited treasure technique is a method that was prevalent in the Chaotic Ancient Years and is quite different from the current Cultivation System," Zhou Tong said softly. "Fairy Yan may consider it."
