God Clan Ancient Road
The sixty cities of the God Race are situated on a Vast Continent in the starry sky. There are many fragments of Star Scripture in the sky, as if they have been formed into ruins after a fierce battle.
The Vast Continent floats in the starry sky, brimming with vitality, making it quite extraordinary in this starry sky that resembles Star Scripture ruin.
This continent is permeated with a vast and boundless aura, sweeping across the land as if it had arrived from ancient times, captivating the soul.
This place was originally a vast and boundless ancient star field, filled with endless mythology, attracting countless cultivators over the years. Not only God Race, but also humans, Demon Clan, Holy Spirit, and many other races have sent cultivators here in search of opportunities and Fortune.
Of course, this is the God Clan Ancient Road, with Great Sage saint of the God Race in charge. Except for cultivators with the blood of the God Race flowing in their veins, other cultivators will be strictly monitored once they enter the city.
Therefore, most cultivators were unwilling to enter the Divine City, and instead established a small public market outside the city.
For countless years, this place has been bustling with activity, especially after the discovery of a Scripture Cave, which caused a great stir in the area, attracting many talented cultivators from various ancient paths.
On that very day, streaks of blazing lightning appeared outside the city, the cosmos was torn apart, and a divine altar, radiating dazzling light, flew out of Nothingness.
Zhou Tong, with the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon, finally arrived here from the Human Ancient Road.
"We've arrived. This is the Vast Continent where the sixty cities of the God Clan Ancient Road are located." Zhou Tong stepped on the wisps of starlight and looked at the majestic ancient city sitting on the continent ahead.
"Is it an illusion? The Power of Faith?" Zhou Tong frowned.
He could sense a mysterious fluctuation emanating from that place, almost imperceptible. This mysterious fluctuation seemed to be related to the Power of Faith, a power Zhou Tong was already very familiar with, having used the Power of Faith many times during his cultivation.
"It must be the Power of Faith. It seems we're going to clash with the Buddhist Sect this time." Zhou Tong had a rough guess in his mind.
He was not a member of the God Race and did not want to be targeted by Great Sage of the God Race right now, so Zhou Tong did not enter the Divine City. Instead, he went to a small market outside the Divine City to gather information.
"Om!"
But at that moment, suddenly dragons Tiger Roar and tigers howled, and the Great Dao resonated. To everyone's surprise, Immortal Fire flickered and danced not far away, and a god-like figure stood in the mist of light, exuding an unimaginable sense of oppression.
This was an unimaginable flame, terrifying beyond measure, like light and fire. From within the flame, one could vaguely see that the Dao Body almost one with the flame, with only a pair of arms remaining as normal Flesh and Blood Body.
Holy Spirit!
In the small market outside the Divine City, everyone's expression changed.
This image can only belong to the powerful and terrifying Saint Spirit Race, and is a fire spirit at that.
The Holy Spirit are the most powerful race, practically invincible among their peers. They are extremely rare, and it is exceptionally difficult to find even a few in the vast star field.
"What a terrifying Holy Spirit! Great Sage at the pinnacle, he's almost a Quasi-Emperor!" The Nine-tailed Flood Dragon looked at the Dao Body, feeling a sense of fear.
Fire spirits are entirely engulfed in flames, but upon reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm, their fiery bodies gradually begin to transform into flesh and blood. The Holy Spirit before us, however, has already had its arms reformed into flesh and blood, and is only a final half-step away from becoming Quasi-Emperor.
"Could he also be here to compete for Fortune? How can we compete with such a Holy Spirit?" The Nine-tailed Flood Dragon looked at Zhou Tong, its eyes filled with hope.
He knew that Zhou Tong possessed the Azure Emperor Weapon, and that as long as he used this weapon, he would have nothing to fear.
"Don't even think about it. I won't use Imperial Weapon unless I encounter an insurmountable crisis!" Zhou Tong said leisurely.
The Ancient Starry Road is a training ground. Bringing Imperial Weapon here has already greatly reduced the training effect. If I rely on the Imperial Weapon whenever I encounter any problems, will I be proving my own path or the path of the Imperial Weapon?
"Although this fire spirit is very strong, touching the boundary of Quasi-Emperor, it has not exceeded my limit of handling it." Zhou Tong was very confident.
In fact, Zhou Tong's greatest strength now is not his combat power, but his methods.
Countless scriptures and endless, bizarre methods are Zhou Tong's greatest advantage; given enough time to set things up, he could overthrow even Quasi-Emperor.
"Let's go, let's find out some information first!" Zhou Tong led the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon directly into the small market outside the Divine City.
To attract attention, the Nine-tailed Flood Dragon Form Transformation the appearance of a burly man.
The market was bustling with activity, filled with monks discussing the matter.
Zhou Tong casually found a tavern, ordered a pot of wine, and quietly listened to the discussion among the cultivators nearby.
"Tell me, who exactly is this Golden Cicada? How could he possibly fight Divine Venerable? The Divine Venerable swept across the entire God Clan Ancient Road, and no one could defeat him. I never expected that he would encounter such an evenly matched opponent as Golden Cicada."
"Indeed! That battle two months ago was truly terrifying. If it weren't for that battle that shook out that Scripture Cave in the Boundless Mountain Range, this place wouldn't be so lively. It's rumored that Golden Cicada has never walked on any ancient path, but instead constantly travels between many ancient paths, wanting to sweep through all of them!"
"It is said that the Scripture Cave was left behind by either the Amitabha Great Emperor or the Taiyin Human Emperor. Did Golden Cicada already know about this place? Was that battle merely Golden Cicada borrowing the Divine Venerable to make the Scripture Cave manifest?"
"That's probably impossible. It's said that Golden Cicada was a disciple of Shakyamuni, and had little to do with Amitabha Great Emperor. I've heard that Shakyamuni has been expelled from the Buddhist Sect and is considered a traitorous monk!"
"How could they not be closely related? Rumor has it that Shakyamuni and Amitabha Great Emperor look exactly alike... The Buddhist Sect is too complicated. Anyway, I don't believe that Shakyamuni and Amitabha Great Emperor are not closely related."
Inside the tavern, countless people were discussing what happened two months ago, and the discussion even extended to the Buddhist Sect figures Shakyamuni and Amitabha Great Emperor.
The Divine Venerable is the undisputed supreme being on the God Clan Ancient Road. He swept across the entire ancient path, and no one could contend with him. In the original work, it was he who shattered Ji Haoyue's Dao Heart.
Golden Cicada, a disciple of Shakyamuni, did not travel on any single ancient path, but instead hopped among the various ancient paths, seemingly wanting to sweep across the ancient paths of all races.
The Divine Venerable and Golden Cicada met near this Divine City half a month ago and immediately engaged in a fierce battle. The aftermath of their battle also caused a long-sealed Scripture Cave to reappear.
This Scripture Cave bears traces of both the Buddhist Sect Amitabha Great Emperor and the Taiyin Human Emperor, which has made it famous and attracted people from other ancient routes to come here.
While drinking, Zhou Tong listened to their conversation and learned a great deal.
"Besides the Divine Venerable and Golden Cicada, the God Race also has Xin Lan here, and the Demon Clan has Blood Beast, Sky Swallowing Beast, and Gold Devouring Beast, as well as the Light Clan, the Holy Spirit Lineage, and many others... Most of them are familiar names from the original work," Zhou Tong thought to himself.
"The key issue is those Great Sage... No, I need to make some arrangements first, otherwise, without the Azure Emperor Weapon, I'm afraid we really won't be able to snatch Great Sage. Speaking of which, how exactly did the Overlord in the original story manage to snatch the Blood Floating Tu that Amitabha Buddha used to suppress the Taiyin Human Emperor's Divine Thought?" Zhou Tong was also somewhat speechless.
Could it be that because of my appearance, the butterfly effect has finally begun to manifest on the Ancient Starry Road?
I just never expected the impact to be so profound...
