The vast knowledge contained within the two jade pellets made up for the Formless Bronze Guardian's shortcomings, pouring an enormous database into it.
This directly solved the greatest difficulty in deducing cultivation methods.
The Formless Bronze Guardian was powered by a bewitchment-creature core. Its original database came from the different cultivation methods Zhou You had fed into it time and again, then analyzed, evolved, and calculated to refine the subsequent content.
This also meant its speed could not be too fast. Too fast, and mistakes would easily arise.
Although Zhou You had spent recent years gathering the hidden books and secret classics of the Zhou Clan Western Sect and provincial governments across the land to enrich the Formless Bronze Guardian,
the improvement in speed had remained limited, until Zhou You had a sudden inspiration and combined the bronze man with the jade pellets, soaring skyward in a single bound.
The ceiling that had once seemed nailed in place suddenly expanded three or fourfold, while the time required actually shrank. This showed just how terrifying Lord Chongyang's many years of accumulated reserves were.

Once the mystical arts were further enriched and enhanced, Zhou You's level and methods would rise another step, bringing him one step closer to becoming a Martial Saint.
The rest required patient waiting, but another important matter still demanded attention.
On his trip to Maijing Prefecture, he had brought three juniors back to Dijing, along with shocking news of great importance.
"Governor of Maijing Prefecture Young Master Buying has been severely injured and is unable to handle governmental affairs. He has therefore submitted a memorial to Sealed Lord Lian Feihong, requesting that Governor Zhou Daqian of Qingchu Prefecture be assigned to oversee the prefectural affairs."
The moment this news emerged, all sides were thrown into an uproar.
