Source Heaven Curse
The Human Race Fifty City belong to the ancient star of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body.
"Brush!!"
With a flash of light, Zhou Tong returned to the place once again with the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon using the Divine Light Platform.
"My lord, how did we end up back here again?" the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon, puzzled.
"There are some things here that I care about. You wait here!" Zhou Tong said casually.
Last time, I was in such a rush to kill Di Tian that I missed some extremely important things, such as the Source Heaven Divine Array that the Heavenly Court had set up here. Anyway, there are still half a month to reach the scripture repository on the God Clan Ancient Road, so I might as well come here to explore and maybe even improve my Source Technique level.
Zhou Tong stood on this Star Scripture, using Source Technique to explore the depths of the earth and investigate the Source Heaven Divine Array here.
The things here are very likely what the Emperor Venerable arranged back then. Zhou Tong was very cautious, exploring and deducing little by little.
Finally, he saw vast stretches of Source Heavenly Divine Runes in the most primordial dragon vein area of this ancient star, but most of the runes had faded and been worn away by the power of time.
Zhou Tong took out the Source Heaven Book, and immediately—
"Buzz!!"
A vast expanse of Source Heavenly Divine Runes rapidly reacted with the Source Heaven Book, beginning to glow. The Source Heavenly Divine Runes slowly spread out, gradually surging towards the other side of the starry sky, the ancient star where the Primordial Sacred Body had perished.
"Using the starry sky as a chessboard to manipulate heaven and earth, this is another realm beyond the Source Heaven Master!" Zhou Tong vaguely sensed a key point, the key to taking his Source Technique to the next level.
Over the years, Zhou Tong has been setting up various Source Heaven Divine Array within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, but the sky has always been a place he rarely touches. This is because his Source Technique level is currently limited to mountains and rivers, and he has not yet reached the realm of using the starry sky as a map.
But at this moment, looking at the ancient star map set up by the Ancient Heavenly Court, Zhou Tong vaguely sensed that the realm he had been trapped in for many years was rapidly weakening.
Zhou Tong rushed out of the ancient star and stood deep in the starry sky, silently deducing and constantly calculating with the Source Technique. At the same time, the Star Scripture appeared in his mind, which he regarded as a strange kind of Star Scripture and manipulated.
Take the heart as the universe, transform it into a star chart, and observe the movement of the stars.
One by one, the Star Scripture were enlightened, and they were arranged in the Void the Great. The sun and Star Scripture alternated, the Star Scripture moved, and an unimaginable pattern gradually appeared in Zhou Tong's heart.
A magnificent starry sky gradually took shape in Zhou Tong's mind, beginning to evolve into the form of this world.
Finally, everything transformed into a Taiji Diagram. The Star Scripture where the two supreme beings, the Primordial Sacred Body and the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, passed away were like the two fish eyes on the Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram.
"The Sun Emperor explodes and is destroyed, releasing its energy to its fullest extent. This enormous diagram will then truly open, emitting an immortal divinity that illuminates the entire star field. The ancient diagram will be resurrected," Zhou Tong silently thought to himself.
This is now the limit of Zhou Tong's evolution. He doesn't know what the Endpoint of evolution will be, because it has already exceeded his current capabilities.
"Could this Divine Diagram be related to the World Tripod that the Emperor Venerable is refining?" This thought suddenly surfaced in Zhou Tong's mind. Perhaps this Sun Emperor would explode while the Emperor Venerable was refining the World Tripod?
As soon as the idea came to him, Zhou Tong immediately began searching the vicinity, even venturing into the Sun Emperor to investigate.
Finally, he followed the yin-yang curve of the starry sky Taiji Diagram, which resembled an asteroid belt.
However, just as Zhou Tong approached an asteroid, he suddenly felt as if he had been pricked by a steel needle on the skin of his hand. A red hair emerged from his body and even began to spread.
"The curse of Source Heaven Master? It has finally come for me? Hmph, Underworld, you are courting death!" Zhou Tong circulated his qi and blood slightly, and the red hair that had grown on his body immediately disappeared.
Compared to Ye Fan in the original work, Zhou Tong is already quite late, only appearing now; after all, the curse of the Primordial Sacred Body is also from the Underworld, while Ye Fan in the original work carries two major curses, naturally accompanied by the red-haired guy all the way.
"However... could this curse be the work of the Emperor Venerable?" Zhou Tong also had some doubts.
Anyone who cultivates the Source Technique will experience misfortune when they reach the Source Heaven Master realm; perhaps this is a curse set up by the Emperor Venerable to prevent others from discovering his secret.
The Emperor Venerable has set up methods in countless places throughout the world, attempting to refine the world into World Tripod.
It now seems that the Emperor Venerable's arrangement is deeply connected with the Source Technique. It is likely that after the Emperor Venerable obtained the Source Technique from Cao Yusheng, he used this technique as a guide to set up a scheme in conjunction with his own Array Patterns.
If the world's Source Technique are advanced, someone will inevitably discover the arrangements made by the Emperor Venerable back then from some clues; at that time, his plan to build World Tripod that lasts for eternity may fall through.
Under these circumstances, it's understandable that the Emperor Venerable, in collaboration with the Heaven-Piercing Nether Treasure, would set up a scheme, imposing a curse specifically to hinder the advancement of Source Technique in this world.
Of course, all of this is still just speculation and doubt.
"Emperor Venerable... even if I figure out his thoughts, I wouldn't dare to disrupt things now." Zhou Tong shook his head, no longer thinking about these things. The Emperor Venerable might be watching from somewhere.
If we destroy his plans now, and the Emperor Venerable secretly strikes, it will be even more terrifying than the Undying Heavenly Emperor who specializes in ambushing elderly Great Emperor. Even a peak Great Emperor wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Let's go and observe the Emperor Venerable's arrangements first."
Zhou Tong continued along the deduced path, seeing countless meteorites along the way, each imprinted with numerous Source Heaven Array Patterns. Each time he saw these Array Patterns, Zhou Tong's body would react, with strands of red hair emerging from within him, but these red hairs would be destroyed by the fluctuations of Zhou Tong's blood and qi the moment they appeared.
"Judging from the Source Heaven Master's curse, it really is related to the Emperor Venerable. My guess might be close to the truth." Zhou Tong could tell from the frequency of the red-haired man's appearance that his curse was getting deeper and deeper.
Each time a Source Heaven Divine Array is touched, the curse belonging to the Source Heaven Master deepens.
It would be a miracle if this matter had nothing to do with the Emperor Venerable.
Most importantly, Cao Yusheng was clearly the ancestor of Source Technique, but Duan De has now abandoned Source Technique and is using burial science to cause trouble instead.
Perhaps Cao Yusheng secretly sensed some of the Emperor Venerable's arrangements and methods, so he severed his connection with the Source Technique in advance to prevent the Emperor Venerable from coming to his door when he was vulnerable in his reincarnation and ruining his plan to become an immortal.
But Zhou Tong couldn't care less about that now. Every time he came into contact with a Array Patterns, he would try his best to comprehend it. With each Array Patterns he comprehended, Zhou Tong gained some insights.
At the same time, within his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, countless Source Heavenly Divine Runes were expanding, gradually extending from the ground to the sky, generating a strange connection with the "Star Scripture" in the sky. Even the Great Emperor Array Patterns were able to communicate and exchange information as a result.
"Om!"
Within the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, the Great Emperor Array Patterns are interconnected, and the Emperor's aura surges like the sea. The Chaos Qi within is hazy, a scene from the beginning of the world, bursting forth with terrifying light.
The Chaos Earth further settled and completely condensed with the entire Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings. A pool could be vaguely seen gradually emerging in the central area of Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, with wisps of chaotic mist spreading within it. A drop of crystal-clear liquid appeared at the bottom of the pool, which was the Chaos Immortal Marrow.
At the current rate, it would take approximately a thousand years to form a single drop of Chaos Immortal Marrow. To form the Chaos Immortal Marrow that Zhou Tong previously obtained in the Chaos Immortal Land, it would likely take hundreds of millions of years.
At the same time, the Profound Yellow Mother Qi was boiling like boiling water throughout the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, gradually suppressing the chaos and stabilizing the entire world.
Having gone through this process, the inner world of the entire Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings became more real.
"Boom!!"
The starry sky trembled violently as a massive Thunder Tribulation suddenly descended upon this place, causing the starry sky to flash with dazzling light.
Previously, he had refined the Supreme Origin of the Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body with the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings. Now, with the evolution of the Source Heaven Divine Array, Zhou Tong broke through his original realm in an instant, attracting Heavenly Tribulation.
The thunder lasted for several days. When the Thunder Tribulation dissipated, Zhou Tong had advanced to the fifth level of the Saint King.
"At the fifth level of the Saint King, it's about time. We should head to the God Clan Ancient Road!"
