Time flies, and fifty years have passed since Zhou Tong entered the Hegemon Body Ancestral Cave.

Zhou Tong's body trembled slightly, and his ferocious body gradually returned to normal. The Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Hair, the back of the True Dragon, the wings of the Immortal Phoenix Wings, the wings of the Kunpeng Wings, the wings of the Thunder Emperor Wings, the Gu Clan Claw, the Qilin Foot of the Sky Horn Ant Horn, the Nine Netherworld Howler Tail, and the primordial spirit of the God-Striking Stone all retracted at the same time, restoring him to a normal human form.

"Fifty years have passed, and we have nothing left to teach you!" Cang Lan looked at Zhou Tong with satisfaction.

"Your understanding of the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form is already no less than ours. The experience you have accumulated in the twenty-seven Supreme Battle is enough to make you invincible before you reach the Great Perfection," Xuan Ming also spoke up.

"Although your ancestral body still has some flaws and imperfections and is not perfect, it is roughly complete; what height you can reach in the future depends on your own comprehension." Kun Gu also spoke up, "However, we can't help you with your Nine-Layered Heavenly Tribulation or even your Dao Proving Heavenly Tribulation in the future."

"It's alright, I have my own methods for dealing with the future Heavenly Tribulation." Zhou Tong nodded, and then bowed to the three Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body as a token of his gratitude.

Over the past fifty years, these several Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body have indeed devoted themselves to helping me perfect my Hegemon Body Ancestral Form, and have almost held nothing back.

After finally arriving at the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star, Zhou Tong gained a completely new understanding of the unity of the Hegemon Body Lineage.

"It seems I made the right decision not to kill Hun Zhan back then." Zhou Tong thought to himself with some emotion. If he had killed Hun Zhan back then, even if those few Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body didn't attack him when he came to the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star, they would never have taught him so diligently.

With the full guidance of three supreme beings from the same lineage, plus twenty-seven Supreme Battle, these fifty years can be said to be a period of complete transformation for Zhou Tong, a period of full exploration of the power of his own bloodline.

Over the past fifty years, Zhou Tong has further optimized his scriptures to better suit the Hegemon Body bloodline; at the same time, he has also completed the initial results of the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form.

"Judging from your appearance, it seems you want to get involved in the Path to Immortality in the Big Dipper?" Cang Lan suddenly thought of something and showed a hint of surprise. "More than twenty years ago, the sky of the Big Dipper had already cracked open, revealing the Path to Immortality. Now, after more than twenty years of expansion, perhaps in another two or three years, the Path to Immortality will be fully opened."

"You have now reached the sixth level of Quasi-Emperor, and you are only one Heavenly Tribulation away from reaching the sixth level. But the gap between the sixth level and the true Supreme is too great." Xuan Ming also shook his head. "The Supremes in the Big Dipper Forbidden Zone will all take action. In front of the Forbidden Zone Supreme, the sixth level Quasi-Emperor is just a slightly larger ant."

"You are the hope for our Hegemon Body Lineage to attain enlightenment. We have devoted ourselves to helping you for the past fifty years, not so that you could go to the Big Dipper to die, much less so that you could become easy prey for those Forbidden Zone Supreme!" Kun Gu's voice gradually turned cold. "Don't force us to leave the Immortal Source and personally suppress you!"

The voices of the three Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body were resolute; they did not want to see Zhou Tong go to Big Dipper to die.

In their view, even if Zhou Tong went out and survived the sixth level of the Quasi-Emperor Heavenly Tribulation, he would still be nothing more than an ant in front of the Supreme Being, unable to cause any trouble.

They did not want to see a Hegemon Body who had finally found hope of attaining enlightenment perish.

"Even the Supreme One might not be able to do anything to me!" As Zhou Tong spoke, an Array Diagram flew out, with four Killing Sword hanging at the four corners, and boundless Killing Intent flowing around them.

"This is... the Array Diagram of Lingbao Heavenly Venerate?" Xuan Ming exclaimed in surprise.

He himself also possessed a forbidden artifact, which was an array Array Diagram crafted using the Nine Secrets: Zu. However, the Nine Secrets: Zu he obtained was incomplete and could not be fully evolved into the true Nine Secrets: Zu.

"You received the inheritance of Lingbao Heavenly Venerate?" Kun Gu's eyes narrowed, revealing a hint of solemnity.

Zhou Tong nodded slightly and casually sent a divine thought over. In an instant, the three Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body experts were slightly shaken. It was the complete Nine Secrets: Zu, which gave them a lot of insights.

These three Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body had been frequently deducing the Nine Secrets: Zu over the years, trying to complete it and transform it into the foundation of their Hegemon Body Lineage, but they had never succeeded. Now that it was complete, all three Hegemon Body were shaken.

Xuan Ming, in particular, was radiating brilliant sword light from his body, as if he were completing something.

After a long while, Xuan Ming sighed, "So this is the complete Nine Secrets: Zu. It is indeed a supreme secret method. Our previous deductions were wrong."

"With the Lingbao Sword Formation in your hand, you might actually be able to withstand a Supreme Being." Cang Lan had to admit that Zhou Tong, wielding this sword formation, did indeed have the ability to fight a Supreme Being, and even had a considerable chance of winning.

"But we still disagree with your going to Big Dipper. Once the Path to Immortality opens, it won't just be one or two supreme beings emerging. With multiple supreme beings taking action, even the Lingbao Sword Formation won't be able to withstand it." Kun Gu shook his head. "With the opening of the Path to Immortality, Dark Turmoil in this Lifetime is inevitable. If a supreme being attacks our ancestral star at that time, you can use this sword formation to fight against them."

"That's right, that will be the true Supreme Battle, different from our twenty-seven battles. Perhaps it will allow your ancestral body to advance further." Xuan Ming agreed.

In the eyes of several Great Accomplishment Hegemon Body, protecting the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star with such an unparalleled sword formation is the right thing to do; to go out and meddle in the Path to Immortality would be a waste.

"Don't worry, I have other methods." Zhou Tong shook his head, somewhat helplessly.

He took out a Blood Floating Tu, and immediately the aura of Taiyin Human Emperor energy spread out.

"Hmm, the relics of the Taiyin Emperor? No, this is the work of Amitabha Buddha," Cang Lan exclaimed in surprise.

"This contains the Divine Thought of the Taiyin Human Emperor, and it also seals one of my abilities. If a supreme being is born, you can use this to awaken the Taiyin Human Emperor and fight him." Zhou Tong threw the thing out directly.

He himself was going to Big Dipper, so it was necessary to leave a means on the Hegemon Body Ancestral Star just in case.

Zhou Tong's methods are indeed involved here. A Light of Reincarnation from the Reincarnation Mirror is sealed inside. Once it is unleashed, it can directly activate the Divine Thought of the Human Emperor and awaken the peak Human Emperor.

"You don't need to worry about me. I've found several other Divine Thought in the starry sky. If I really can't hold on, I can summon a few more Divine Thought." As Zhou Tong spoke, he took out another pagoda, which contained the Divine Thought of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

"The Taiyin Emperor, and another Great Accomplishment Sacred Body!" Kun Gu was taken aback, then nodded. "With these individuals joining forces, plus your Array Diagram, we might actually be able to annihilate a few Ancient Emperor. However, this action will likely offend the Forbidden Zone Supreme, and my Hegemon Body Lineage may face retaliation in the future..."

Kun Gu thought of the Sacred Body Lineage. The main reason for the extinction of the Sacred Body Lineage was that it offended the Forbidden Zone and was therefore cursed, making it difficult to cultivate. If the Hegemon Body Lineage was also in the same situation, it would be difficult in the future.

"Do we still need to be afraid? Once I attain enlightenment, what are those supreme beings worth?" Zhou Tong said leisurely.

"Indeed, our Hegemon Body Lineage fears no one; if you can attain enlightenment, you might become an unparalleled Heavenly Emperor. Heavenly Emperor belonging to my Hegemon Body Lineage!" Xuan Ming agreed wholeheartedly. The Hegemon Body is invincible, even against a Supreme Being!

"However, it's best not to touch the Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zone before you've reached your full potential." Xuan Ming's tone shifted, and he added, "You're still some distance from becoming a Supreme Being."

Zhou Tong shook his head; he was determined to get involved. Even if not for the sake of the universe and all living beings, it was for his own sake; he wanted to fight a true supreme being.

Having truly embarked on the Battle Immortal Path, Zhou Tong himself became much more warlike. He desperately needed an opponent who could surpass him, so that he could fight with all his might.

"If you insist on getting involved in the Path to Immortality, then first prove that you possess the combat power of the Ninth Heaven!" Seeing that the stalemate was not resolved, Cang Lan suggested a compromise. "Seventeen hundred years ago, two Quasi-Emperor fought near our ancestral star. The Quasi -Quasi-Emperor who won is now at the Ninth Heaven and is known as the Divine Court Emperor Lord."

"If you want to prove your strength, then kill him! You are allowed to use Imperial Weapon, but you are not allowed to rely on the Lingbao Sword Formation." Cang Lan spoke, he pointed out a coordinate, which was the location of the Divine Court Emperor Lord.

Although the three Hegemon Body have been dormant for many years, the power of the Hegemon Body Lineage is considerable. He can easily find the location of the Divine Court Emperor Lord through the influence of the Hegemon Body Lineage.

"Aren't you afraid I won't come back? Once I leave here, you won't be able to stop me anymore."

"If you're determined to interfere with the Path to Immortality, just awaken the Taiyin Emperor and add the Lingbao Sword Formation. Even we, with our vital energy greatly depleted, won't be able to stop you. This is just a verbal agreement between us. Whether you abide by it or not is up to you," Cang Lan said. "However, if you don't even have this much ambition, your words about attaining the Dao are just empty talk."

"That's right, the path of cultivation is essentially about cultivating the mind. Having cultivated to this level, every word and action represents one's true nature. A true overlord would disdain using such methods to deceive us. If you really don't want to prove your combat strength to us and want to use other means to leave the Ancestral Cave and participate in the Path to Immortality, we won't stop you," Xuan Ming also said.

"Don't try to provoke me. I, Zhou Tong, have never broken my word since I embarked on this path!"

"You all just wait here, I'm going to kill the Divine Court Emperor Lord right now!"
