Undercurrents!

As Zhou Hao stepped out of the open space in the center of the Daoist temple, he immediately saw the two young Daoist boys, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, already waiting in front of the corridor.

"Greetings, Junior Uncle." The two young disciples bowed to Zhou Hao.

"Golden Horn Silver Horn." Zhou Hao looked at the two Daoist boys and thought of the mythological novel "Journey to the West" that he had read in his previous life.

In Journey to the West, these two children are the Golden Horn King and Silver Horn King on the journey to the West. With the magical treasures of the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable, they really caused a lot of trouble for the four pilgrims.

"After all, the Wilderness World is a novel from a previous life, a fictional world of immortals and demons created by the author. It's normal that it differs from other mythological novels," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

After all, even the Three Pure Ones have become one person, so what is impossible?

"I don't know why I was reincarnated here."

Thinking of the chaotic restriction on the fragment of Qingshi that seemed to originate from the same source as his left arm, as his master had mentioned, and the strange and terrifying place within the chaotic void, Zhou Hao sighed inwardly.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Each of the two boys suddenly produced an object from thin air.

"Junior Uncle."

The Golden Horn Boy held a bamboo scroll in his hands. "This is the complete manual of the supernatural powers of the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, which my master instructed me to retrieve."

"And this, and this too." Another Silver Horn boy presented a yellow gourd as if it were a treasure. "This gourd of Nine-Revolution Golden Pill contains far more Origin Power than even the best-grade Immortal Elixir. It's perfect for cultivating the Eight-Nine Arcane Art."

After saying that, the Silver Horn Boy glanced behind Zhou Hao and whispered, "Grandmaster instructed me to get some top-grade immortal-level elixirs for Junior Uncle to practice his cultivation. Although the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill Elixir is also immortal-level, its value in the outside world is comparable to that of a Pure Yang Elixir."

"Junior Uncle, this was my idea," Golden Horn Boy chimed in, eager to claim credit.

After Pangu separated heaven and earth, gods, demons, spirits, and magical treasures were born from heaven and earth. The two children in front of us are cloud dragon spirits transformed from two Golden Cloud and silver clouds.

After being enlightened by the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable, the two boys stayed by his side and served him.

Although they are all at the Celestial Immortal realm, they rarely venture into the outside world, and few people come to the Eight Views Palace, so their minds remain as innocent as children.

"Thank you, my two junior disciples."

Zhou Hao smiled and patted the little horns on the heads of the two boys, then took the bamboo slips and the yellow gourd containing the golden pill.

"If anything happens in the future, your junior uncle will stand up for you."

"Yes, yes." The two children, Golden Horn Silver Horn, nodded repeatedly.

The junior uncle spent almost a whole day at his grandmaster's place on his first visit.

This is extremely rare.

You should know that even Master Donghua, the Grandmaster, would always just point a finger at him and send him back to cultivate on his own.

"Junior Uncle, the Eight Views Palace never keeps disciples. We'll take you to an empty side hall to cultivate first," said Golden Horn Boy.

This was another reason why the two children noticed that their grandmaster treated their junior uncle differently from the other disciples.

"Okay." Zhou Hao readily agreed and followed Golden Horn Silver Horn out along the corridor, while examining the bamboo slips and yellow gourd in his hands.

The bamboo slips that record supernatural powers and techniques require one to penetrate them with their mind before they can begin to receive the transmission.

Moreover, a technique like the ' Eight-Nine Arcane Art,' which can be called the number one supernatural power in the Three Realms below the True God level, must have a vast amount of information.

Starting in the corridor was obviously inappropriate, so Zhou Hao put away the bamboo slips and first probed the yellow gourd.

The ' Nine-Revolution Golden Pill ' is arguably the most famous of all the top-grade immortal pills, and Zhou Hao had long admired it.

Besides originating from the Eight Views Palace of the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable, the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill is also the gentlest, which can be tolerated by even Xiantian Lifeform, Purple Mansion Cultivator, and even mortals, without worrying about their bodies being overwhelmed.

Although most of the Origin Power would be wasted in that way, the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill, in addition to its abundant Origin Power, can also increase lifespan, transform mortal bodies, and make them more suitable for cultivating immortality, among other miraculous effects.

Therefore, almost every world in the Three Realms has a different version of the legend that an immortal enlightens a mortal, bestows upon them a Nine-Revolution Golden Pill, and thus allows them to ascend to heaven in one step and become an immortal.

"A hundred pills?" Zhou Hao looked at the hundred spirit pills floating inside the gourd.

Each elixir possessed an astonishingly vast and pure Origin Power, with nine fine golden lines on its surface, far surpassing the high-grade immortal elixir he had previously obtained.

"These one hundred Nine-Revolution Golden Pill alone are worth as much as a pure Yang-grade magic weapon," Zhou Hao thought to himself, marveling.

... Following Golden Horn and Silver Horn, Zhou Hao arrived at an empty side hall. He saw that the hall was simply furnished, with only a futon placed on the ground in the center.

He didn't mind, and immediately went inside, sat down cross-legged, and took out the bamboo slips containing the Eight-Nine Arcane Art.

"Eight-Nine Arcane Art!" Zhou Hao took a deep breath and sent a wisp of his consciousness into the bamboo slip.

Boom!

A deluge of profound and mysterious cultivation techniques flooded into his soul from the bamboo slips.

It took nearly half an hour for Zhou Hao to finally understand that he had memorized all the information about the cultivation techniques.

"Haha, the beginner level is already seventy-two transformations. After mastering it, there's nothing in the Three Realms that can't be transformed, even one's aura can be completely changed?" Zhou Hao exclaimed with delight, "Isn't this just like the Seventy-Two Transformations in Journey to the West!"

Which young child didn't yearn for the ever-changing forms of the Monkey King in TV dramas when they were young?

He was no exception.

"To begin basic cultivation, do I need to reach the Nascent Soul level first through the Divine God-Devil Body Refining Refinement?" Zhou Hao murmured to himself, recalling information about the cultivation technique in his mind.

The Eight-Nine Arcane Art is the number one divine power in the Three Realms below the True God level. It is a top-tier divine power that allows one to perfectly control the body of a god or demon.

Once the basics are mastered, one can transform into anything, hence this great supernatural power is also known as the Seventy-Two Transformations.

The Seventy-Two Transformations" doesn't literally mean seventy-two different variations; it's a figurative number, implying an extremely large number.

"This divine power can make the divine body like a magic weapon. When cultivated to the extreme, it can even reach the state of 'indestructible Vajra'! Even if you stand there and let pure Yang magic weapons or even innate spiritual treasures slash at you, at most a few sparks will fly out, and you will still be completely unharmed!" Zhou Hao exclaimed.

Judging solely from his cultivation of the divine body, not to mention the miraculous seventy-two transformations, the Eight-Nine Arcane Art is indeed superior to the ' Xuanwu Great Divine Ability ' that he cultivated before.

Even the supernatural power ' Five Thunder Diamond Body ' cultivated by the Second Primordial Spirit avatar is far inferior.

However, this supernatural power places a great burden on the body, so only those with a divine or demonic body can cultivate it, and one must reach the primordial spirit level through divine God-Devil Body Refining refinement before one can begin cultivating it.

"At the Nascent Soul/Demon level, one can cultivate the first, second, and third stages. Once the third stage is mastered, the body will be comparable to a Celestial-grade magic weapon! Even ordinary Celestial Immortals will find it difficult to harm." Zhou Hao pondered to himself, "Having met my master, it's time for my true form to advance my cultivation."

His Second Primordial Spirit had already Void Return level, and he had long since comprehended all the key points in the second volume of the Chiming Nine Heavens Map. Now he no longer needed to suppress his cultivation. Whether it was the God-Devil Body Refining or Qi Refinement, he could break through and improve.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Hao no longer hesitated and immediately began to circulate the thirteenth level of the ' Chiming Nine Heavens Map ' technique. The Taiji Divine Soul in his Mud Pill Palace was filled with black and white air currents and began to sense the two great stars, Taiyin and Taiyang, in the chaotic void.

After he achieved mastery of the ' Tai Chi Great Dao ', he was only one step away from fully comprehending and mastering the entire Great Tai Chi Great Dao. His understanding of the Dao was already among the top among the Celestial Immortals, and his soul, nurtured by the origin of the Great Dao, was even closer to the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Guided by this sensation, the entire side hall was instantly enveloped by the boundless power of the Yin and Yang stars.

The Eight Views Palace is located in the Heavenly Realm of Lihen Heaven, which is the closest place to the chaotic void outside the Heavenly Realm and even the entire Three Realms. It is also the Daoist temple of the Supreme Pure Dao Venerable, with various arrangements to guide the stellar power of the Chaos Stars, which is a thousand times easier than during the Great Xia Dynasty.

Almost in the blink of an eye--

Boom! Boom!

The Solar True Fire and the Lunar True Water descended across the void, enveloping Zhou Hao entirely.

The leap from the twelfth to the thirteenth level represents a major leap from the level of Myriad Phenomena gods and demons to the level of primordial spirit.

Each major breakthrough is aided by the Lunar Star and Solar Star, allowing the divine body to undergo another transformation.

The vast and mighty Lunar True Water and Solar True Fire seemed capable of sweeping away everything, yet they couldn't even damage the walls inside the hall.

"After all, this is Master's dojo. Even the most terrifying Lunar True Water and Solar True Fire cannot damage it in the slightest." Seeing this, Zhou Hao closed his eyes and, following the technique of the Chiming Nine Heavens Map, circulated his divine power to guide the Solar True Fire and Lunar True Water to reshape his divine body, allowing his divine body to transform into a more perfect realm.

This cultivation is taking place at his master's dojo, so there's no need to worry about external factors. He plans to perfect both the God-Devil Body Refining and Void Return Refining methods, only needing to complete the Tribulation Transcendence before stopping and starting to cultivate supernatural powers.

Within a hidden world in the void of the Three Realms.

The endless rows of majestic buildings, and the hordes of cultivators and soldiers flying in and out, made the whole world seem like a giant war fortress and military camp.

Whoosh!

A giant lotus flower, resembling black jade, flew straight into a magnificent building and appeared in the huge hall inside.

Blazing flames burned in the center of the hall, around which stood three thrones, two of which were already occupied by figures waiting.

Wow~~~~

The black jade lotus dissipated, revealing a gaunt old man who resembled a monkey.

The old man had a ridiculous appearance, but his whole body seemed to be shrouded in endless blood-red mist, and his eyes contained endless killing intent.

The moment he appeared, the blazing flames burning in the center of the hall seemed to freeze completely.

"Blood Lotus."

Seated on the central throne was a fair-skinned woman in a green robe. Upon seeing the lean old man appear, she calmly said, "Why have you summoned us in such a hurry? The war in the Stele Mountain Great World has just begun, and my time is limited."

"That's right. Your duties as Blood Lotus, including preliminary reconnaissance and assassinating important figures, have been completed. Green Fox and I have been very busy." The man in the fiery red Daoist robe sitting on the left throne echoed.

"You two." The lean old man, ' Blood Lotus True Immortal,' looked at the man and woman on the throne.

"The World War at Stele Mountain has begun. My Blood Cloud Tower, which excels at assassination and instigating chaos, is no longer of much use. I think it's time to withdraw our forces and take action against the Great Xia World."

"The Great Xia World?" The woman in the green robe pondered. "That's the toughest world among the three of us that we're responsible for."

"It is precisely because it is so difficult to conquer that we must plan ahead," Blood Lotus True Immortal said in a deep voice. "The Great Xia World is the strongest Great World in the Crimsonbright Domain, and its fortune is among the best of the three thousand Great Worlds."

"Now, Xia Mang is using the Immortal Fate Assembly as an opportunity to demonstrate his power to all the tribes and sects in the world, and to win over future prodigies. This time, 10,000 True Immortals have already been chosen by the Daoist Sanqing and taken away as disciples."

"What? This time, Myriad Phenomena True Person from the Great Xia World has been accepted as a disciple by the Daoist Sanqing?" The woman in the green robe and the man in the fiery red Daoist robe were astonished.

Their minds have been focused on the Stele Mountain Great World lately, while the Blood Lotus True Immortal is infiltrating and gathering information in the Great Xia World. The fact that Zhou Hao was taken away by Xuandu Grand Mage was only recently, and neither of them knew about it before.

"This is the information on that Myriad Phenomena True Person." Blood Lotus True Immortal flipped his hand and took out an intelligence book, handing it to the woman in the green robe.

The woman in the green robe opened it and said coldly, "Zhou Hao of the Yinglong Guard? Or is he from the Mu Yang sect?"

The book contains all of Zhou Hao's intelligence and information, including details of his past conflicts with the Shaoyan Clan and the intervention of the Patriarch Mu Yang.

"Xia Mang already has the support of Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor and Dao Ancestor Yinglong, and the Ancient Imperial Clan can send reinforcements at any time," Blood Lotus True Immortal. "If we don't let the Great Xia World fall into chaos now, once Xia Mang gathers the power of the entire Great Xia World, and even gets him to connect with the lineage of the Daoist Sanqing through Zhou Hao ... when we want to deal with him, it will probably be ten or a hundred times more difficult."

The woman in the green robe nodded.

Although the Daoist Dao Sect of the Daoist Sanqing is almost entirely located in the Heavenly Realm, the power wielded by each of their great masters is in no way inferior to that of the overlords who control the great worlds in the Human Realm.

Even if those powerful beings don't intervene, having the identity of a disciple of the Daoist Sanqing and wanting to contact and befriend some true immortals and gods of the Dao Sect lineage in the Heavenly Realm for assistance would be extremely detrimental to the future situation.

"What do you intend to do?" the woman in the green robe asked, looking at the Blood Lotus True Immortal.

"I laid out my plans long ago in the Great Xia World. Now, in the entire 3,600 counties, almost every county has a sect that has secretly pledged allegiance to me. It's just that the time wasn't right before, so I didn't dare to really launch an attack. There are also many other forces that are afraid of Xia Mang and dare not easily switch sides," said Blood Lotus True Immortal.

"After this Immortal Fate Assembly, I will first wipe out a portion of the sects that refuse to surrender, announcing that my Blood Cloud Tower has officially entered the Great Xia. Then, I will ignite war throughout the entire Great Xia World, causing widespread panic and dismantling the Xia Mang's rule that has lasted for billions of years!"

"What about Zhou Hao?" the man in the fiery red Daoist robe asked.

"He's been taken to the Heavenly Realm and probably won't be back for a while, but his Daoist partner, master, and sect are still here," Blood Lotus True Immortal sneered. "Kill those who aren't important or close, and capture the closest and most important ones. A little guy who's lived for over a hundred years is at the age where he's very sentimental; I'm not afraid he won't comply."

"Hmm." The woman in the green robe and the man in the fiery red Daoist robe nodded in agreement.

They would target someone close to their target and force them to submit. They had succeeded many times in other worlds, and had done this more than once or twice, so they were extremely familiar with the methods.

As for whether it will offend Zhou Hao's sect, or even the Daoist Sanqing...

From the moment he became a disciple of the Daoist Sanqing, the irreversible antagonistic relationship between the two sides became irreversible.

This is a battle between factions, a life-or-death struggle, far more brutal than personal conflicts of interest or feuds!

"Then it's decided. Let's discuss the specific action plan further. Blood Lotus, just tell me what you need. The Wujian Gate and the Demon Cave will fully support you! Just remember..."

A cold glint flashed in the woman's eyes.

"If we don't act, we don't act at all; but if we do, we'll shake the entire Great Xia World!"

The flu virus is really bad lately, everyone be careful, my daughter and I both caught it.

I was getting injections yesterday and Tiandu, and I didn't want to keep taking time off, so I didn't say anything more.

One chapter today, at least two more chapters will be updated tomorrow.
