Preparing to Undergo Tribulation
"I wonder where the skin of the Undying Heavenly Emperor went. Even the Heavenly Emperor Son didn't get it back then!" Zhou Tong was also curious. He raided the Heavenly Emperor Son's lair but still couldn't get the skin.
The forces that obtained the Undying Heavenly Emperor's skin back then must have secretly hidden it away, preventing the Heavenly Emperor Son from finding out.
"But who cares? With my current strength, I can easily find out which race took the Undying Heavenly Emperor's skin back then, and I can just ask him for it!" Zhou Tong acted recklessly, especially after dealing with the Undying Heavenly Emperor, this invisible threat, he was no longer afraid of anything.
He descended directly to the Big Dipper and found the person involved in the incident, namely the Old Mansion Lord of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion.
"Zhou Tong, I never expected you to reappear after more than a hundred years?" The Old Mansion Lord Mysterious Scholar Mansion was somewhat surprised. "There are rumors that you have no hope of becoming Emperor's Path. Is that true?"
"It's fake!" Zhou Tong rolled his eyes at him.
"I'm not here to talk about these things. I have something to ask you. When the skin of the Undying Heavenly Emperor was first created, which clan took it away?" Zhou Tong asked directly.
"That piece of human skin? I remember that after much negotiation among the Imperial Clan members, it was eventually enshrined in the highest ancestral temple." The Old Mansion Lord recalled for a moment and said, "That ancestral temple is no ordinary place. It is located in the Primordial Ancient Mine; although it is not the core, it is not exactly on the periphery either."
"It's alright, just tell me the location. If ordinary Imperial Clan can get in, so can I. Even if I get into the true core of the Ancient Mine, I doubt those cowards would dare to attack me!" Zhou Tong.
"Impressive!" The Old Mansion Lord immediately announced a location.
After obtaining the location, Zhou Tong bid farewell to the Old Mansion Lord and went directly into the Primordial Ancient Mine.
He did not enter the core area, but instead came to a Divine Temple.
This is a magnificent Divine Temple, ancient in appearance. It is the Overgod of the Ancient Races, possibly even dating back to the time of the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
Upon opening the gate, an overwhelming imperial aura emanated from it. The interior of the Divine Temple was not dark, but rather flowed with a five-colored halo.
A solid block of ice stood atop the Divine Temple, seemingly sealing a humanoid creature within.
This ice is very special; it is not cold or damp, but rather has a five-colored halo flowing inside, and it exudes an astonishing vitality and life force.
Within the solid ice was a piece of human skin. This person had long purple hair, tough skin, and shimmering with a dazzling, precious light, but it had cracked open at the back, revealing everything inside.
There was also some blood on the human skin. This blood was dreamlike, divided into five colors, and shone brightly.
"The human skin left behind by the Undying Heavenly Emperor's metamorphosis... excellent material, it should be refined into an Array Diagram for me." Zhou Tong strode forward and directly took the solid ice away.
Zhou Tong made no great fuss when entering or leaving the Primordial Ancient Mine, and naturally did not alert the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone. After leaving with some belongings, he returned to the Divine Domain.
They went directly into the secluded chamber.
Zhou Tong broke through the solid ice containing the skin of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, collected the blood from the skin, and then activated his Dao Fire, which burned continuously.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"...
The human skin under Zhou Tong's Great Dao Flame underwent changes at a visible speed. First, he erased the aura and mark belonging to the Undying Heavenly Emperor from the human skin; then, Zhou Tong plucked out the long purple hair; finally, the human-shaped skin gradually changed, eventually transforming into a square leather scroll.
"Sizzle!"
He then refined all those purple hair strands, inscribed them with the profound meaning of the Source Heaven Divine Array, and then intertwined them into the most primordial Origin Source Heaven Array Patterns, directly imprinting it inside that square leather scroll.
Then, Zhou Tong used his own Azure Heaven True Blood to inscribe a modified version of the Hegemon Body Lineage's grand formation.
This is the inherited Array Patterns of the Hegemon Body Lineage, which has been continuously improved and innovated by successive generations of Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body. In particular, those Hegemon Body who obtained the incomplete Nine Secrets: Zu made important contributions to the perfection of this array.
Zhou Tong was proficient in array formations. With his own cultivation, he re-deduced the Array Patterns, making them even better than those of a true Great Emperor Array Patterns.
The skin was covered with two Array Patterns: the Source Heaven Array Patterns and the Hegemon Body Array Patterns. Afterward, Zhou Tong repeatedly inscribed countless Array Patterns of the Nine Secrets: Zu to connect the Source Heaven Array Patterns and the Hegemon Body Lineage Array Patterns, spending three years repeatedly refining them.
In an instant, the Killing Intent aura emanating from his secluded cultivation place soared into the sky, domineering and unparalleled, carrying a terrifying aura that seemed poised to World Destruction world.
"Sizzle!"
Finally, an Array Diagram flew out, flowing with wisps of chaotic mist; as this Array Diagram rotated, it seemed to reverse heaven and earth, Chaos Reversal yin and yang, as if it were evolving a new world.
A faint phantom image flowed across the Array Diagram, indicating that the array had already formed its initial Formation Spirit.
"This formation is defensive in nature, and it might be able to barely hold off a few Supreme Beings... Next up are these five feathers!" Zhou Tong then took out five feathers from the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
"The Five-Colored Immortal Phoenix Feather, though not the Yi Zhen feather of the Undying Heavenly Emperor, is still invaluable. It's perfect for forging a brand new grand formation, which might surprise those supreme beings!" Zhou Tong pondered for a while before finally deciding to use this material to forge an Immortal Dao Grand Array formation.
The highest Immortal Dao Grand Array that Zhou Tong possesses is the Third Killing Array, which he obtained from Cao Yusheng!
Of course, this is also because Zhou Tong has too many secret techniques of his own and is too lazy to spend time specifically searching for them. Otherwise, if he carefully examined each Immortal Divine Medicine with the Reincarnation Mirror, he might even be able to see the number one killing formation of the Immortal Ancient Era.
"It needs to be combined with some other Immortal Material, some Chaos Earth will do." While refining the five feathers, Zhou Tong also melted the Chaos Earth little by little, engraved the Array Patterns of the Third Killing Array on it, and slowly refined it into the material.
In an instant, chaos surged, and Zhou Tong seemed to be World Creation. Finally, accompanied by a clanging sound, the five immortal Immortal Phoenix feathers that originally emitted five colors all turned into divine swords emitting chaotic colors.
The divine sword was sharp and fierce, its blade emitting an extremely terrifying chaotic sword light that made people tremble at the sight of it.
"When all five Sword One, the Third Killing Array will immediately emerge. Although the killing formation is not yet complete, it has now reached my limit..." Zhou Tong shook his head slightly, quite satisfied with this set of killing weapons.
"Two sets of Great Emperor -level Array Patterns. I Dao Self undergo tribulation!" Zhou Tong looked at the sky, quite satisfied.
"But don't rush, I have another trick up my sleeve!" Zhou Tong took out an item from the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.
It was a giant bird egg, about a meter tall, which was also the thing that Zhou Tong had been raising in the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings — the Blood Phoenix Egg.
When Zhou Tong's Phoenix Spirit Body fused with the immortal essence of Immortal Fire and Phoenix Blood Red Gold Immortal Gold Profound Meaning, it directly underwent nirvana and became Blood Phoenix egg. Afterwards, Zhou Tong sprinkled the Essence Blood of the Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancient Emperor on it, further accelerating the formation of the egg.
This egg was nurtured within Zhou Tong's Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings for hundreds of years. Furthermore, Zhou Tong passed on to him the Great Dao of the Undying Heavenly Emperor and the Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancient Emperor, as well as the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art.
"Possessing Immortal Fire, Phoenix Blood Red Gold and Blood Phoenix Mountain Ancient Emperor, you have already mastered the ways of the Phoenix and the Blood Phoenix. If there is really no other way, we can only rely on you!" Zhou Tong pondered for a moment, then placed the Blood Phoenix egg in the Divine Domain, just in case.
"I'll give you a tool to ensure your success." Zhou Tong took out a large piece of Phoenix Blood Red Gold and then refined it into a furnace.
This censer is three feet tall, its color as deep as blood, exquisite and beautiful, with a lustrous sheen. Nine Phoenix are branded on it; with a gentle urging, their Phoenix Cry through the heavens.
However, Zhou Tong did not imprint the Dao Pattern onto the furnace; he merely activated the profound meaning of the Phoenix Blood Red Gold.
"Imitating the Nine Phoenix Furnace, Immortal Artifact from the Immortal Ancient Era, you shall also call yourself the Nine Phoenix Furnace!" Zhou Tong placed the furnace next to the Blood Phoenix Egg. If the Blood Phoenix were to be born, this furnace would become its Dao Proving Artifact.
"All the preparations have been made; now it's time to undergo the tribulation..."
Then, Zhou Tong took a step and arrived at the Cosmic Frontier.
He is already preparing to undergo his tribulation.
