Seeing Big Black Dog Again
The first Emperor-level figure's Dao Transformation disappeared.
But not long after, a second supreme being who had attained the Dao appeared— the Taiyin Human Emperor.
Zhou Tong legally intercepted the Great Dao Laws and various essences left behind by the Taiyin Human Emperor.
The transformation of a cultivator into the Dao is essentially returning the power taken from heaven and earth to heaven and earth. Zhou Tong's actions can be described as seizing the Fortune of heaven and earth.
After the Human Emperor's ascension to the Dao ended, the entire Big Dipper became busy, and Great Sage began to relocate.
This is a great retreat. The essence of all the holy lands has been awakened. They have been sealed for countless years, waiting for this moment to awaken and help their holy lands and heritage leave the Big Dipper to find a safe place.
Ignoring the great migrations, Zhou Tong turned his attention back to the seven Life Forbidden Zone in the Eastern Wasteland.
These beams of light from the Life Forbidden Zone soar into the sky, each beam representing a supreme being, signifying the purity of their Immortal Platform, which remains immortal to this day, inspiring awe just by looking at them.
"Supreme, even this aura alone is far beyond what the Divine Court Emperor Lord can match. The gap is too great!" Zhou Tong compared them briefly in his mind and then shook his head.
No wonder that in the original story, after the Divine Court Emperor Lord's Eternal Blue Gold Tower broke into the Undying Mountain, it was immediately used as a toy by those Forbidden Zone to test other supreme beings.
The artifact used for achieving enlightenment can, to some extent, represent a cultivator's Dao and combat power. Those Supreme Beings, who haven't even truly emerged yet, can so easily manipulate the Eternal Blue Gold Tower; one can imagine the gap between Emperors and Supreme Beings.
"Kindness?"
However, as Zhou Tong examined the Path to Immortality and the Life Forbidden Zone, he suddenly spotted several familiar faces. He took a step and walked directly to their side.
"Ye Fan, Holy Imperial Son, how have you been?" Zhou Tong appeared from the Void the Great and greeted the group.
"Woof! You bastard!!" Before Ye Fan and the Holy Imperial Son could reply, the Big Black Dog beside them saw Zhou Tong and immediately became furious.
"Black Emperor, what's going on?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled.
The Big Black Dog glared at Zhou Tong: "Damn it, where was your true form when you fought the Heavenly Emperor Son? Did you take down Blood Phoenix Mountain, Golden Cave, Fire Qilin Cave, and the Heavenly Emperor Son's son's lair?"
"Damn it! I thought that tomb raider was plotting against me. After I went to settle accounts with him, I found out that he had also been tricked. We discussed it and found out that it was you who was behind it all!!" The Big Black Dog became more and more excited as he spoke, and almost pounced on him.
"Wow... you even wiped out the strongholds of Blood Phoenix Mountain, Golden Cave, and Fire Qilin Cave?" Ye Fan was also shocked. These were the three Imperial Clan!
"You..." The Holy Imperial Son didn't know what to say.
So, there were so many dirty secrets behind that battle back then?
Only then did he understand why Zhou Tong had made that battle so grand, even at the cost of breaking the existing order of No Saints Under Heaven and drawing out the Great Sage of various races. It turned out he had already laid a trap, striking at the various races from behind!
"You've really gotten yourself into trouble, haven't you? You've really screwed me and that tomb raider over so badly! Is this how you do things?" The Big Black Dog bared its teeth.
"Give us the money!" The Big Black Dog stared at Zhou Tong. "You've made us take the blame for so long, is this how you do things?"
"I didn't give you this pot!" Zhou Tong glanced at the Big Black Dog with disdain. "I just threw a pot on the ground, and you guys are carrying it around like it's a treasure. What does it have to do with me? →_→"
"Woof!!" The Big Black Dog was annoyed, and chaos erupted around the area.
Before long, the Big Black Dog finally quieted down, and they looked at the rift in the Immortal Domain again.
"To become an immortal!" Ye Fan exclaimed.
" In this Lifetime, no one can compete with the supreme beings in those Forbidden Zone unless the entire world becomes immortals, the gates to the Immortal Domain open wide, and there are no restrictions, allowing everyone to step inside. Otherwise, it's too difficult!" the Black Emperor sighed.
"Perhaps you could try to compete?" The Holy Imperial Son looked at Zhou Tong with a somewhat solemn expression.
"What?" Ye Fan and the Big Black Dog looked at Zhou Tong in astonishment at the same time.
The Holy Imperial Son continued, "My uncle recently told me that you killed the Divine Court Emperor Lord, who was about to attain enlightenment and Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven- Emperor realm. To be honest, what realm are you at now? You've only been Quasi-Emperor for less than a hundred years, how could this be...?"
The Holy Imperial Son did not continue speaking, for he had already begun to despair.
After advancing to the Great Sage some time ago, he had planned to challenge Zhou Tong again in a few decades, but now he discovered that his opponent was about to attain enlightenment!
"I used my trump card and barely reached the combat power of Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven! But compared to the Ancient Supreme, the gap is too great." Zhou Tong shook his head.
This gap isn't just about strength, but also about the difference in Imperial Weapon. Which Ancient Supreme didn't possess Imperial Weapon? And it was the Imperial Weapon most suitable for them.
As for Zhou Tong, his bell is definitely no match for Imperial Weapon at this stage. And while using other Imperial Weapon can increase his combat power to some extent, they are not well-matched with his own abilities and cannot reach the enhancement level of Ancient Supreme.
"It's a pity that my cultivation speed is still a bit slow. Otherwise, if I had just taken another step forward, the situation on the Path to Immortality in this Lifetime would probably have been very different!" Zhou Tong said helplessly. The gap between the sixth and seventh heavens was much larger than the gap between the fifth and sixth heavens before.
"Then you..." Ye Fan's heart stirred.
"Don't worry about me, you should leave Big Dipper first!" Zhou Tong looked at Ye Fan. "In the current situation, without reaching the Quasi-Emperor realm, you don't even have the qualifications to explore the Path to Immortality."
"However, the Path to Immortality is about to open. According to what you said before, it seems that these Forbidden Zone Supreme can't break through?" Ye Fan looked at Zhou Tong and said solemnly, "If they can't break through, then what about the upcoming Dark Turmoil? Do you have a way to quell the chaos?"
"It's just a battle with all my might!" Zhou Tong. "I have Imperial Weapon like the Lingbao Sword Formation and the Chaos Green Lotus. It's not difficult for me to kill an Ancient Supreme one-on-one. The difficult thing is when multiple supreme beings come out at the same time; or even when those supreme beings feel that I am a threat and join forces to deal with me."
"Although my cultivation is insufficient, I still want to do my part..." Ye Fan immediately took out his Immortal Cauldron and handed it to Zhou Tong.
"I can't guarantee that I can return a complete Immortal Cauldron to you after the battle!" Zhou Tong said as he took the Immortal Cauldron.
Then he turned to look at the Holy Imperial Son: "And Holy Imperial Son, according to our agreement, the Battle Staff can remain in my hands for another ten years or so. After this battle, I cannot guarantee that the weapon will be intact. If you want to take the weapon away early, I will return it to you now!"
As he spoke, Zhou Tong took out the Battle Saint Emperor's Battle Staff.
The Holy Imperial Son did not take the stick, but laughed loudly, "Zhou Tong, you underestimate me too much. Since I promised to lend you this weapon for a hundred years, I will never go back on my word. If you want to fight, then take this weapon and fight. If this weapon is destroyed in the Dark Turmoil, it will not be a disgrace to its name of 'fighting'. Even if my father were still alive, I believe he would not say anything."
"Thank you!" Zhou Tong nodded and put his Battle Staff back in.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Tong finally said, "If the Dark Turmoil really happens, there are several safe places in the universe. First, the Ziwei Star Domain. I left a contingency plan there. If Forbidden Zone Supreme goes there, someone will emerge to stop him."
"Second, Earth. It is protected by the Array Patterns of four Great Emperors: Emperor Venerable, Amitabha Great Emperor, Hengyu the Great, and Void Great Emperor. Even the Forbidden Zone Supreme would have to expend a great deal of effort to break in. They cannot afford to wait that long."
"Third, Big Dipper! The most dangerous place is also the safest place."
"I have analyzed the situation quite thoroughly for this opening of the Path to Immortality; the choice is yours!"
"I need to make some preparations now!" After saying that, Zhou Tong turned and left.
