Forcefully Breaking the Seal
Finally, after paying homage to the Great Sage.
Ye Fan asked, "Zhou Tong, are you just going to stay here and watch the Great Dao of the Ancient Star revive?"
"How could that be? I have other purposes for staying here," Zhou Tong. "But it seems that the Holy Spirit Lineage is more stable than I imagined..."
"What do you mean?" Ye Fan was startled.
"There are seven places where the Dao Venerable sealed the Holy Spirit. In fact, what the Holy Spirit Lineage wants most is not here. They will definitely find a time to make a comeback. I have been waiting for them to come to me here. But unfortunately, they seem to be terrified. Without gathering a few more Imperial Weapon to bolster their courage, it seems they won't dare to come looking for me..."
Zhou Tong spent three years here, partly to sort out the gains from the great battle, and partly to witness the revival of the ancient star, but the most important reason was that he believed the Holy Spirit Lineage would make a comeback.
He knew more than the human protectors; he knew Dao Venerable the Holy Spirit sealed by the Dao Venerable actually had a stone book that fully recorded all the Dao and laws of that Holy Spirit.
Zhou Tong had been waiting for the Holy Spirit Lineage to descend once more; he was anticipating an unprecedented great battle.
Unfortunately, it seems we won't be able to wait that long.
"I don't have that much time to keep wasting on them. I'm going to have to take some drastic measures..."
"Extreme measures? What are you going to do?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.
"Perhaps the human race has forgotten exactly where the Dao Venerable sealed that Holy Spirit; but over the years, the Holy Spirit Lineage has already found out everything."
That is the Heaven Mending Technique that records the Holy Spirit's path to perfection; the Holy Spirit will never give up investigating it.
"I was just curious to see what other tricks the Holy Spirit Lineage had up their sleeve, but now I've lost patience. I'll forcefully break the Dao Venerable's seal with an Imperial Weapon." Zhou Tong's voice was calm and confident.
Ye Fan, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Zhou Tong can stir up countless races throughout the entire universe with just a casual gesture. Wherever he goes, misfortune follows!"
Looking back on the journey, Ye Fan's gaze toward Zhou Tong held a hint of something different.
This is a scourge; wherever it goes, there is endless war.
In Big Dipper, he directly auctioned off the Holy Lord, showing no regard for the consequences. Later, when he went to Ziwei Ancient Star, he stirred up a storm as soon as he was born, defeated the Golden Crow, captured the most beautiful woman in Ziwei Ancient Star, and created the Valley of Sinners. After returning to Big Dipper, he directly destroyed a royal family and then stirred up the world's situation, trampling Yaoguang and destroying the Heavenly Emperor Son.
Even on the Ancient Starry Road, it was the same.
He caused the Yongheng Star Domain unbearable suffering, and now that the Holy Spirit Lineage is about to cease its fighting and put an end to the war, he still wants to provoke trouble and provoke the Holy Spirit Lineage.
"Battle Immortal... this is the Battle Immortal Path!" Ye Fan vaguely understood something in his heart.
The Battle Immortal Path requires relentless battles. Those who embark on this path cannot remain in quiet cultivation indefinitely; combat is their best source of sustenance for advancement.
Cultivators who embark on the Battle Immortal Path are filled with fighting spirit, yearning for combat, and eagerly seeking enough opponents to fight them to the bitter end.
Ye Fan finally understood. No wonder Zhou Tong was so good at causing trouble. He got there by causing trouble all the way. Even if others didn't provoke him, he would provoke others.
The Battle Immortal Path is suitable for the Golden Age. The more brilliant the Lifetime, the more opponents one will have to hone oneself, allowing for continuous transformation and becoming stronger with each battle.
"It's precisely because this is an unimaginable golden age that he has made such rapid progress. But now, Zhou Tong has reached his limit. The golden age can no longer keep up with his pace of progress... so now he can only stir up the entire starry sky." Ye Fan became more and more speechless as he thought about it.
This golden age, with its dazzling stars and countless geniuses, couldn't keep up with his cultivation speed.
"Ye Fan, lend me your Immortal Cauldron for a while," Zhou Tong said suddenly, looking at Ye Fan.
"What do you know? Is it dangerous to open the other six seals?" Ye Fan reacted quickly and asked immediately.
"No... I'm just a little curious about the Immortal Cauldron. The Azure Emperor Weapon needs to be unsealed, so I can't lend it to you; but don't worry, I'll lend you the Sacred Spirit Stone Token for self-defense during this time." Zhou Tong was very straightforward; he just wanted to observe the Dao Pattern on the Immortal Cauldron.
Having reached this level, he is now barely qualified to observe the Dao Pattern patterns of the Immortal Cauldron. Although he still cannot understand them, he can memorize a portion of them and slowly comprehend them later.
Ye Fan was taken aback, pondered for a moment, and then nodded, agreeing to the exchange.
For a cultivator of his level, there's not much difference between the Sacred Spirit Stone Token and the Immortal Cauldron. Moreover, the Sacred Spirit Stone Token contains a section of the Heaven Mending Technique that the Holy Spirit Lineage desperately needs, which he can use to study and comprehend some of it.
After temporarily exchanging weapons, Zhou Tong immediately took action.
Over the next year, Zhou Tong used the power of the Azure Emperor Weapon, along with some Great Emperor Array Patterns and Source Heaven Divine Array he had set up, to forcibly break the seal left by the Dao Venerable and open the other six Demon Well on the Human Ancient Road.
The remaining few Demon Well were opened one by one, instantly like opening the gates of Hell, and countless terrifying gods and demons rushed out from the seal.
The Dao Venerable slew a Perfected Sacred Spirit, someone who was just one step away from attaining the Dao. This Holy Spirit, killed by the Dao Venerable, accumulated all his resentment and anger within him, which, over countless years, nurtured countless gods and demons, causing chaos and Chaos Land wherever they emerged.
But what Zhou Tong lacks now is battle, and the gods and demons nurtured by these Holy Spirit bodies are his best nourishment.
Without exception, all these gods and demons were shattered under Zhou Tong's incomparably powerful combat strength.
The Demon Well sealed by the head of the holy Holy Spirit was especially bizarre. After being refined by the Dao Venerable for countless years, the head of the Holy Spirit still remained active. Upon its birth, it nearly shattered the entire ancient star, rushed into the universe, and swallowed up the Star River.
This battle was also the most brutal one Zhou Tong had ever experienced. His body was shattered several times during the battle, and he finally managed to outlast the last bit of power of the Holy Spirit's head.
During this process, Zhou Tong also made a further progress and reached the Great Saint Seventh Heaven realm.
Finally, there was the Demon Well that sealed half of the Holy Spirit's body. Inside, a stone book appeared, recording the Holy Spirit's Way and Law—a supreme treasure. This item also fell entirely into Zhou Tong's hands.
The complete opening of all the Demon Well, while causing severe damage to many parts of the Human Ancient Road, also yielded enormous gains. Four of the Demon Well were considered successful, producing a considerable amount of Five-Colored Immortal Liquid, ranging from hundreds to thousands.
After all six Demon Well were opened, Zhou Tong had harvested over three thousand drops of Five-Colored Immortal Liquid. Although he distributed some of it to the management of the Human Ancient Road, he still had over two thousand drops of Immortal Liquid in his possession.
For a whole year, the Dao Venerable's arrangements were continuously activated, making it the grandest event on the Human Ancient Road. However, other races still dared not provoke humanity.
Even the Light Clan, who possess the Spirit Refining Pot, are no exception.
Because Zhou Tong seized the Sacred Spirit Stone Token, which is a companion artifact of a Perfected Sacred Spirit. Even if it is damaged, its power is still extremely close to that of Imperial Weapon.
In this situation, a single Spirit Refining Pot would not give the human race any advantage whatsoever; they would need to find at least one or two Imperial Weapon.
"The hidden dangers on the Human Ancient Road have been almost eliminated! Now it's time to continue on our way."
After finding Ye Fan again and exchanging the Imperial Weapon, Zhou Tong stood above the last Demon Well, which had completely quieted down, looking down below.
Meanwhile, within his Wheel Sea, the Great Emperor Formation Diagram of the Sun Sacred Emperor Shrouding the Heavens, the Chaos Green Lotus emitted a hazy green light, and beside it were the Demon Emperor's Ruler covered with cracks, a Stone Token with a fingerprint pressed by the Dao Venerable, and a thick stone book.
"With the Sun Sacred Emperor's Array Diagram as the core, and by placing the Chaos Green Lotus, the Demon Emperor's Ruler, the Stone Token, and the Stone Book into the array together, could we temporarily break through the Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's Immortal Slaying Formation?"
"It's probably still a bit lacking... After all, the Array Diagram Array Diagram of the Sun Sacred Emperor is far inferior to that of the Lingbao Heavenly Venerate, and the Demon Emperor's Ruler, Stone Token, and Stone Book are all damaged..."
The Sun Sacred Emperor Sun Sacred Emperor's Array Diagram was hastily crafted and lacked Formation Spirit, making it far inferior to the Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's Array Diagram. Furthermore, the Lingbao Heavenly Venerate's Killing Sword, composed of four Sword One, far surpasses the coordinated power of Zhou Tong's chaotic Supreme Artifact.
Zhou Tong silently deduced the situation in his mind, then shook his head:
"To be on the safe side, it would be best to have a Quasi-Emperor level combatant as the main person in charge of the formation in order to deal with the unattended Lingbao Sword Formation."
