Immortal Script
"I... I'm completely healed?"
Zhou Tong also felt somewhat incredulous that he had recovered so easily.
"This scripture is truly terrifying!" Zhou Tong examined the scripture he had obtained from the Three Lives Bronze Coffin once more, and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. "The scripture left behind by the Desolate Heaven Emperor was meant to tell future generations some news, but at the same time, it also seems to be a method for repairing the Immortal Domain..."
"This passage of scripture, which is several hundred words long, contains many repeated words; however, excluding those repeated characters, there are exactly one hundred and eight different characters."
"If I'm not mistaken, these so-called Emperor Script are probably the essence of the Immortal Script from the Immortal Ancient Era!" Zhou Tong couldn't help but think of the scripts from the Immortal Ancient Era times.
The Immortal Ancient Era numbered in the millions, as vast as Star River. Each character within them possessed a profound meaning, elucidating certain rules and principles, all ultimately condensed into a single word.
If one's strength is sufficient, the millions of true words and rules of the Immortal Ancient Era can be transformed into thousands or even hundreds of words, explaining all the profound meanings of language.
Especially after fully comprehending the Immortal Ancient Method, one can condense all the texts into one hundred and eight characters. These one hundred and eight characters actually represent the great laws of heaven and earth, and their combinations are Myriad Transformations.
Each Great Emperor possesses nine Emperor Script Emperor Script, which are actually the Emperor Script formed after the Great Dao they comprehended was transformed into Immortal Ancient Era characters.
"Every Great Emperor has nine such characters, which are the core of their Great Dao... What about Mortal Immortal? Would they completely master these one hundred and eight Emperor Script and then combine them to create the Great Dao that best suits them?" This thought flashed through Zhou Tong's mind.
Perhaps the True Immortal Realm who cultivated the Immortal Ancient Method during the Immortal Ancient Era were beings who had thoroughly comprehended all 108 characters. As for the Immortal King... that's beyond Zhou Tong's current ability to speculate.
"The Emperor Script is infinitely profound, and I am not yet able to comprehend it at my current level! I should first study the nine Emperor Script of the other Great Emperor. Those Emperor Script have Imperial Scriptures as guidance, making them much easier to comprehend."
Zhou Tong silently said this to himself, and then began to comprehend the Emperor Script he had already obtained.
Zhou Tong has already obtained a great deal of Emperor Script.
The nine characters are found in the * Luangu Scripture *, the * Hengyu Scripture *, the * Golden Ancient Scripture *, the * Blood Phoenix Scripture *, and the * Dao Scripture *.
Among them, two characters in the "Hengyu Scripture" are repeated with the "Blood Phoenix Scripture" and one character is repeated with the "Dao Scripture"; two characters in the "Luangu Scripture" are repeated with the "Golden Ancient Scripture" and one character is repeated with the "Dao Scripture"; two characters in the "Golden Ancient Scripture" are also repeated with the "Blood Phoenix Scripture" and one character is repeated with the "Dao Scripture".
Excluding the duplicate Emperor Script, there are a total of thirty-six Emperor Script.
"The repeated Emperor Script also have their significance, because we can see the different interpretations of those repeated Emperor Script by the two Great Emperor in the two imperial scriptures, which makes it easier for me to analyze the true meaning of these Emperor Script!"
"If we could reverse these 108 Emperor Script and expand them back into millions of Immortal Ancient Era characters..."
Thinking about this, Zhou Tong felt a surge of excitement. If he could truly achieve this, it would be nothing short of defying the heavens. Wouldn't he then be able to unleash all the myriad techniques in the world at will?
All things in heaven and earth reside within my heart!
"Continue your cultivation!"
Zhou Tong continued to sit cross-legged on the eighth level of the Fire Domain, using the flames to imprint the scriptures onto the Hegemonic Bell. The grand sound of the scriptures once again resounded within Zhou Tong's body.
Although these scriptures did not contain specific methods of cultivation, they made Zhou Tong feel completely comfortable, and countless Daoist insights arose in his mind.
These so-called "Daoist senses" have no specific direction or method of cultivation; they are merely a vague feeling, just like the opening line of the Tao Te Ching, "The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao," which is difficult to describe.
A few days in the cave are equivalent to a thousand years in the world.
Zhou Tong was in seclusion deep within the Fire Domain, oblivious to everything happening outside, but the outside world had already been thrown into turmoil because of Zhou Tong!
First, there was Zhou Tong's battle at the Tai Xuan Sect. The detailed account of this battle has been completely disseminated, and even the efforts of the Tai Xuan Sect, the Yaoguang Holy Land, and the Ji Family, who were involved, to suppress it were futile. This is because there were simply too many people who witnessed that battle.
Zhou Tong, who had been wanted by the Yaoguang Holy Land for countless years, actually participated openly in a gathering of geniuses of the Tai Xuan Sect, especially since the Yaoguang Saintess was also present at this gathering.
The moment this news spread, it once again made people marvel at Zhou Tong's audacity, as he clearly didn't take the Yaoguang Holy Land seriously.
What shocked everyone even more was that Zhou Tong had actually defeated the Ji Family's Divine Body, the head disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect, and the Yaoguang Saintess in a one-against-three battle at the gathering. This truly astounded everyone.
Since the Ji Family's Divine Body was officially revealed, it has been the focus of much attention. However, this time, it took three of them— Hua Yunfei of the Tai Xuan Sect and the Yaoguang Saintess —to stop Zhou Tong. In the end, even with their combined strength, they were severely injured by his roar. This shocked everyone.
Of course, the Yaoguang Holy Land, the Ji Family, and the Tai Xuan Sect jointly proclaimed that Zhou Tong had used King's Secret Treasure to have such terrifying combat power.
Even so, it was enough to shake everyone to their core. Ask yourself, even if they were given King's Secret Treasure, could they withstand the combined attack of Ji Haoyue, Hua Yunfei, and the Yaoguang Saintess?
Some even consider Zhou Tong to be the number one young talent in the Eastern Wasteland.
They didn't believe a word of what the Ji Family, the Yaoguang Holy Land, and the Tai Xuan Sect were saying. Meanwhile, even more rumors were circulating, some of them sounding quite plausible, such as:
"Secret fact: Zhou Tong's true form is the Immortal Beasts Kirin, with unparalleled physical strength, which is why he can fight three opponents at once without being defeated!"
"Shocking! The Ancient Royal Clan has re-emerged, and Zhou Tong, who utterly defeated the human race, is none other than a member of the Ancient Royal Clan!"
"Shocking! Ji Family Great Experts personally captured Zhou Tong, but lost an arm in the process!"
"Rumor has it that Zhou Tong has a lot of dirt on the Yaoguang Holy Land, so he has been wanted by the Yaoguang Holy Land."
Of course, many people have also analyzed this, and their points are quite valid.
"The Ji Family's Divine Body has lost this battle, and lost badly, but the Ji Family refuses to admit it. Since the birth of the Ji Family's Divine Body, the Ji Family has been creating an invincible momentum for him. Now that the momentum has been broken, the Ji Family will definitely find some excuses to cover it up, such as the so-called forbidden artifact of the king."
"The Yaoguang Holy Land already has a grudge against Zhou Tong, so naturally they will spare no effort to smear Zhou Tong. They even slander him for using a forbidden weapon of the king in a fair duel."
None of these reports have been verified, and many are even baseless rumors. However, not many people actually witnessed that battle, so they don't know whether these reports are true or false.
Of course, countless people also come to gossip about these things with a "let's have some fun" mentality.
In response, neither the Ji Family, the Yaoguang Holy Land, nor the Tai Xuan Sect remained silent. These rumors, whether true or false, would only make things worse if explained to them. They simply wanted to capture Zhou Tong as soon as possible and wait for this turmoil to pass.
However, as time went by, Zhou Tong still hadn't appeared, so attention was quickly diverted to other things, such as the Peacock King had been causing a ruckus among the Demon Clan recently, and the legendary emergence of what was believed to be the Ruthless Great Emperor's cave...
