Leaving

After leaving Sun Star, Zhou Tong didn't think much about it. He took out the Chessboard Array Patterns, activated Array Patterns, and instantly arrived at the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

His arrival immediately alarmed the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

"You're the first one here!" the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion said, looking at Zhou Tong.

"Besides me, who else is qualified to embark on this path?" Zhou Tong asked.

"True Self human race selected you, the Central Emperor, and the Yaoguang Saint Son, but the Yaoguang Saint Son has already been killed by you, so the extra spot will be given to the Ji Family," the Old Mansion Lord replied.

"The Ji Family? Ji Haoyue's Dao Heart has collapsed, so who else could it be? Could it be Ji Ziyue?"

"No..." Zhou Tong had just opened his mouth when a figure flashed through his mind.

"The Ji Family... the son of the Void Great Emperor?" Zhou Tong looked at the Old Mansion Lord with a hint of surprise. "He was almost crippled by me twenty years ago, but he has recovered now?"

"Puff!!"

The Old Mansion Lord Mysterious Scholar Mansion staggered, and his gaze toward Zhou Tong changed. "So it was you who did it? I thought you only attacked the Ancient Races, but I didn't expect that the first one to be beaten was our human race's Imperial Son? You really are a menace. Our Big Dipper human race finally produced a few geniuses, but you almost crippled them all?"

The Mysterious Scholar Mansion has many unique methods. They were the ones who saved Central Emperor Xiang Yufei back then. Although the Ji Family has produced Great Emperor, they may not be able to match the Mysterious Scholar Mansion in some aspects.

Twenty years ago, the Mysterious Scholar Mansion received a request for help from the Ji Family, asking them to treat a young man.

That young man suffered almost complete loss of his vitality and was severely injured.

The Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion also intervened and personally brought out some treasures from beyond the realm to save the man. Only afterward did he confirm that the man was the son of the Void Great Emperor.

But only now did he realize that the son of the Void Great Emperor had actually been nearly crippled by Zhou Tong.

"I remember the Ji Family has its own way to reach the Ancient Starry Road, so why do they need to borrow a route from the Mysterious Scholar Mansion?" Zhou Tong looked at the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion with some confusion.

In fact, every family that has produced Great Emperor has its own path to the Ancient Starry Road. Even the Wu Shi the Great did not take the path of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion, but rather the path of Jade Pool.

"No wonder Senior Gai said you know too much!" The Old Mansion Lord glared at Zhou Tong, but finally offered an explanation.

This road in the Mysterious Scholar Mansion is for the use of human prodigies. As long as one is a prodigy and a human, one can use it.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense, come with me!" the Old Mansion Lord said finally, then led Zhou Tong to a sealed stone chamber, isolated from the outside world, where some star coordinates were to be passed on, and no one was allowed to approach.

After a long while, the Old Mansion Lord led Zhou Tong to a forbidden area deep within the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

That place is a place that outsiders cannot approach or walk to. It is engraved with Primordial Chaos Grand Formation, containing endless killing intent, because it contains the most important secret of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion: the secret of traversing the starry sky.

Zhou Tong entered this forbidden area together with the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

"What an amazing formation!" Zhou Tong exclaimed as he looked around.

Here, the Dao Pattern intertwine in dense clusters, with occasional flashes of Chaos Qi, protecting this place completely.

Countless terrifying killing formations were laid out here, turning this place into a deadly wasteland. These killing formations were carved by the sages of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion generation after generation, and it is unknown how many layers of killing formations there were. Among them were many killing formations at the Great Sage level, with boundless power.

Seemingly noticing Zhou Tong's interest in these killing formations, the Old Mansion Lord immediately said with some pride, "In those Desolate Era, there was once a manor lord who obtained a fragment of one of the Nine Secrets. It's a pity that it was severely incomplete; otherwise, this area of killing formations would be even more terrifying."

"If you had come here to deceive us back then, we would have been blasted to pieces by the killing formation long ago!" The Old Mansion Lord was clearly still somewhat resentful of Zhou Tong's last time impersonating the Great Emperor to scare him.

Zhou Tong was too lazy to argue.

He brought the Three Lives Bronze Coffin with him last time. No matter how fierce your killing formation is, can it be more fierce than the Three Lives Bronze Coffin?

As long as the Three Lives Bronze Coffin is placed here, even the Great Emperor Killing Formation can be suppressed, let alone your Killing Array.

"Hmm, I've already deactivated the Chaos Killing Array. This place is safe now. Otherwise, anyone who came in would be attacked indiscriminately. Let's go in," the old sage said smugly when he saw Zhou Tong remain silent.

Zhou Tong nodded slightly and followed the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion into the deepest part of this forbidden area. In front of them was a Five-Colored Altar, ancient and grand, as if it had fallen from the distant past.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion asked.

"I promised Divine Silkworm Princess that I would leave a small gift here, and I hope you can pass it on for me!" Zhou Tong hadn't forgotten that he still owed Divine Silkworm Princess a thank-you gift.

As he spoke, he took out a jade box and handed it to the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.

This box contains an 80,000-year-old Medicine King with the best life-extending effects, which is exactly what Divine Silkworm Princess and the Victorious Fighting Buddha need right now. Anyway, he's looted the Golden Cave, Fire Qilin Cave, Blood Phoenix Mountain, and even the Heavenly Emperor Son's lair; he has plenty of Medicine King herbs.

The Old Mansion Lord took the jade box, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, I will give it to her."

He dared not embezzle Divine Silkworm Princess's things. Just a few days ago, Great Saint Kun Zhou in the Golden Cave bullied Divine Silkworm Princess, which directly provoked the Victorious Fighting Buddha. As a result, Great Saint Kun Zhou was directly killed by the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

"We've told you most of what we needed to say. Since that's the case, there's nothing more to it!" Zhou Tong said softly.

"Go, embark on your own path, and I hope you will become the strongest in history!" The Old Mansion Lord nodded.

Zhou Tong bowed to him one last time to express his gratitude, and then stepped onto the Five-Colored Altar.

"This altar is quite special. I am about to activate it. Are you ready to traverse the starry sky?" the Old Mansion Lord asked.

Zhou Tong nodded, and the Old Mansion Lord immediately infused his divine power to activate the altar.

"Brush!"

The Five-Colored Altar opened, the Bagua symbols flashed, and a star gate opened. Zhou Tong resolutely stepped in, and with a final wave, he disappeared into the Big Dipper.

At the same time that Zhou Tong left Big Dipper, on the other side...

"Woof, you damned tomb raider, I will definitely make you my pet!" The Big Black Dog coughed up blood and ran wildly, throwing countless array platforms outwards like madmen, as he faced the pursuit of the Fire Qilin Cave.

Even after using all the Great Emperor Killing Formation Platforms that were swindled from Zhou Tong, it still wasn't enough.

"Wicked Heavenly Venerate, you damned dog, how dare you frame me! Just wait!" Fatty Duan was also chased to the ends of the earth by Blood Phoenix Mountain. In the end, he had no choice but to go overseas for archaeological research.
