Billions of stars converged, emitting an incredibly powerful radiance.
In Zhou Wuji's "eyes," countless starlight points drew the void to contract and condense.
This attack wasn't about how strong the starlight was, but rather about suppressing Lord of Yunmeng on the void level.
Lord of Yunmeng let out a sharp cry of resentment, and the spirit pearl in his hand also burst forth with extremely intense lightning.
At that moment, lightning illuminated the void, the endless starlight, and also the True Person Zhihua, and Xie Shidao, who had raised his spear to throw it...
The lightning illuminated the massive Cangwu Ancient Tree below, Zhou Wuji saw the crisscrossing roots of the tree underground, as well as a bright green light shining deep within the roots.
In a daze, Zhou Wuji suddenly realized that the green light was the central hub of the Cangwu Ancient Tree, the source of all its power and life.
Zhou Wuji's consciousness jolted violently, pulling him out of the resonance with the Big Dipper Star Domain.
He clutched his throbbing head and cursed under his breath. At the crucial moment, his Divine Sense True Qi was depleted, and he couldn't see the outcome of the battle.
Once he caught his breath, he cast Rejuvenation Technique on himself.
A flash of blue light, and the depleted True Qi and Divine Sense were immediately restored, and the severe headache was also cured.
Zhou Wuji came out of the tent and looked east again; the lightning that had covered the sky had disappeared.
The churning, turbulent clouds calmed down.
The battle should be over... It should be that True Person Zhihua and Xie Shidao have won!
Thinking back to what he had just witnessed, Zhou Wuji felt that the True Person Zhihua must be Divine Artifact, a true Divine Artifact.
Only Divine Artifact possess such terrifying divine power that can overturn the heavens and earth and cover all directions. This is something that Law Treasure like Heavenly Puppet cannot compare to.
As one of the seven major sects of Daoism, the Northern Pole Sect still has its foundation, even though it has been declining in recent decades.
Zhou Wuji believed that the jade cup must be a spatial Divine Artifact, which was why it could so easily control Lord of Yunmeng.
This explains True Person Zhihua could carry such a large amount of logistical supplies.
The Divine Artifact unleashed its power, causing a tremendous impact on the void, which in turn affected his Divine Sense.
The key to the Big Dipper Star Eye lies in resonating with the Big Dipper Star Domain, projecting one's Divine Sense over long distances through this resonance, though the level of this ability is extremely sophisticated.
The indiscriminate impact of the Jade Dou on the void caused some damage to his consciousness through the connection of Divine Sense.
This incident showed that although Zhou Wuji's Big Dipper Star Eye was highly sophisticated, it was not unbreakable.
One must be even more careful when trying to glimpse those at a higher level of power.
Zhou Wuji Dipper Divine Artifact, but he also understood that as a Lower Court disciple, he wasn't even qualified to know the name of the Jade Dipper.
He can only obtain the jade cup when he becomes the sect leader or something.
Zhou Wuji knew his side had won, and his heart calmed down; at least he didn't have to rush to escape.
It's a bit of a shame that I missed out on a good deal.
Having witnessed the divine power of Lord of Yunmeng and True Person Zhihua, he felt apprehensive. Even if there were opportunities for him to take advantage of, he wouldn't want to go; it was too dangerous.
It's unclear whether it's due to his Third Rank cultivation level being so strong, or the power of the Divine Artifact and the Law Domain.
After careful consideration, Zhou Wuji felt that it was probably the power of the Law Domain and the Divine Artifact.
If Third Rank is this strong, it's illogical and doesn't align with his understanding of cultivation.
Zhou Wuji knew that his side had won, but he did not tell Xie Yunjing the news.
The ability to see the battle situation two hundred miles away would make everyone wary.
Despite the fact that Xie Yunjing and he seem to have a very good relationship, he would definitely report such an important matter.
With nothing else to do, Zhou Wuji took out a three-ounce and nine-qian Origin Profound Spirit, which was left behind by a Seventh Rank rebel, and added it directly to the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation.
With a flash of purple light, the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation reached its perfect state.
With a thought, Zhou Wuji suddenly donned a magnificent azure light robe.
His golden cloud brocade robe was shattered, and he no longer had the ability to instantly cast the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation Spell.
Having reached the Perfect Realm, his Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation could finally be cast instantly, which was extremely important in battle.
Especially in sudden battles, only instant-cast Law Technique can be effective.
The protective effect of the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation at its perfect state is increased by at least 50%.
Moreover, the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation has undergone some further changes.
As Zhou Wuji's thoughts shifted, the azure light robe he wore transformed into a hand taller than a person, which he then manipulated to strike forward.
The azure light garment is a manifestation of the Law Power of the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang. Transforming it into a palm not only changes its external form but also allows the palm to unleash the Law Power of the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang.
Even without a target to test, Zhou Wuji roughly knew the power of the Azure Light Palm. Within a range of twenty steps, the stronger the Law Power he invested, the stronger the released power.
It can be seen as a giant hand extending outwards, which is still very useful in actual combat.
This move could easily be called the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Hand.
It should be a supernatural Divine Ability that arises from the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation reaching its perfect state.
However, this tactic should be used sparingly in public.
The Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation is very complex, and it's quite remarkable that he has reached this level in such a short time.
Moreover, he didn't know the details of other people's Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation, or whether they possessed the same Divine Ability.
Before figuring out the situation, it's always best to keep a low profile.
Zhou Wuji knew the outcome of the battle and could lie down comfortably. In his spare time, he would also give Yang Tie Ying pointers on his cultivation.
Along the way, Yang Tie Ying broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge. After experiencing the brutal battle that night, he made great progress in all aspects.
Perhaps due to consuming a great deal of demonic flesh and blood, Yang Tie Ying progressed even faster in martial arts, not far from reaching the Seventh Rank of Transforming Force. In terms of cultivation, he had condensed the acupoints in his eyes.
Such a rate of progress is enough to qualify someone as a prodigy.
Zhou Wuji was quite pleased with this. He only had this one disciple, who was good in every way except for being a little simple-minded, and most importantly, he was extremely loyal to him.
Advancing to the Seventh Rank of Transforming Force, and then to the Seventh Rank of Cultivator, would be enough to make one a dominant figure in the county, just like Zhang Xinhu.
I'll go back to Siming County and be a local tyrant; life will be very comfortable there.
For Yang Tie Ying's sake, Zhou Wuji specially went to get the Black Deer King's deer penis.
He hadn't wanted this before; he was too busy with other things and didn't have the time or inclination to worry about such things.
Now that I have some free time, and I need to train apprentices, I absolutely have to come back to do something this important.
Deer penis primarily nourishes Qi and Blood, enhancing vital essence. Half of the Essence Blood of Fourth Rank Black Deer King is found in its deer penis.
Zhou Wuji brought some medicinal herbs, cutting off a small piece each time to prepare the decoction, which was somewhat beneficial to him, but too nourishing for Yang Tie Ying.
After each time Yang Tie Ying drank the soup, his entire body would turn red, even his eyes would be red.
If the medicine is too potent, it can actually damage the body.
However, Zhou Wuji had mastered the Army-Breaking Sword to perfection and had a profound understanding of body refinement and qi cultivation.
Although he could not pass on the Army-Breaking Sword to Yang Tie Ying, he could guide Yang Tie Ying to follow the most correct path of cultivation.
Although the Eight Extremes Stance is simple, it is the orthodox method of the Eight Extremes Sect and is very suitable for Yang Tie Ying.
Zhou Wuji was able to use the Mind Mirror to reflect his disciple's true nature and inner thoughts, and to provide extremely subtle guidance to Yang Tie Ying, making adjustments entirely based on Yang Tie Ying's own situation.
This kind of in-depth and subtle guidance is something that even fourth or fifth-rank martial artists might not be able to achieve.
Over the course of a few days, Yang Tie Ying grew about an inch taller, his muscles and bones became stronger, and he also sensed changes in his internal organs through the strong medicinal effects, and then took the initiative to control his internal organs.
Yang Tie Ying was also very pleasantly surprised. With this progress in his cultivation, he would soon be able to purify his internal and external strength and reach the Transforming Force "!
Yang Tie Ying even grew fond of Dream Marsh. Not only was the Spiritual Qi abundant, but it also offered various nourishing spiritual objects, making it practically a sacred place for martial arts and Daoist cultivation...
He even hoped that the Fire Phoenix Army would return in a month or two, by which time he should have mastered the Transformation Transforming Force!
But Yang Tie Ying's wish was not fulfilled. On the evening of the fourth day after Xie Yunfeng's night raid, the Fire Phoenix Army returned to its camp.
Seeing the vast army approaching, Xie Yunjing and Wang Xing were extremely excited, and the entire camp was filled with jubilation. Only Yang Tie Ying felt a little unhappy...
Zhou Wuji roughly counted that the army numbered only a little over 2,100, and had lost at least 500 men.
One-fifth of their force perished in the battle; it was a truly brutal fight. Fortunately, they still won.
Although the entire Fire Phoenix Army was covered in dust and mud, they looked very energetic and spirited.
Especially Xie Lingyun, this young commander has strong vital energy, and there is a faint spark of electricity in his eyes. His martial arts have clearly improved a lot, and he has even reached the Fourth Rank.
Xie Yunjing and Wang Xing led their men to pay their respects, but Zhou Wuji did not follow. He was not a member of the Fire Phoenix Army, so there was no need for him to join in the fun.
Given his status, he has no right to offer condolences to Xie Shidao... It would be better for him to stay away.
More importantly, he also had to receive True Person Zhihua.
True Person Zhihua was still the same as before, wearing a purple-gold star crown and purple-gold Daoist robe, holding a white jade whisk, and his whole body was spotless.
However, she looked tired, and her usual radiant beauty was gone.
" True Person, the tents are all ready, please rest first." Zhou Wuji didn't ask any more questions, and simply led True Person Zhihua to the tent to rest.
No matter how strong someone is, they need to rest when they're tired.
He had arranged the tent well in advance, and the inside was very clean and tidy.
True Person Zhihua was quite satisfied with Zhou Wuji preparations.
After giving a few instructions, True Person Zhihua went into his tent to rest.
The army, however, had to set up camp and were busy until late at night before finally quieting down...
The next morning, as the dim sky began to glow with a faint white light, True Person Zhihua emerged from his tent.
She spotted Zhou Wuji next to the tent immediately. The boy was sitting on a wooden stool with his sword across his knees, gazing ahead, seemingly lost in thought.
After a full night's rest, True Person Zhihua had recovered some of her energy. She chuckled and said, "What, are you going to keep watch for me?"
Zhou Wuji stood up and laughed, " True Person, you are exhausted both physically and mentally from fighting the great demon. I have nothing to do in the camp every day, so it is only right that I keep watch for True Person."
True Person Zhihua's smile deepened. This kid knows how to talk, and he does have some sincerity, although it's mostly just for show, it still makes people feel comfortable.
She complimented him, "You're thoughtful too."
Seeing that True Person Zhihua was in a good mood, Zhou Wuji asked, " True Person, have the problems in Dream Marsh been resolved?"
" The Lord of Yunmeng has been executed, and the Cangwu Ancient Tree has also had its roots severed. Even though we couldn't find its heartwood, it's not a cause for concern."
True Person Zhihua trusted Zhou Wuji and didn't hide anything from him in this regard.
"Tree heart?" Zhou Wuji's heart stirred, recalling the emerald light deep within the Cangwu Ancient Tree that he had "seen".
If he wasn't mistaken, that was the lifeblood of the Cangwu Ancient Tree, very likely the heartwood that True Person Zhihua had mentioned.
He asked curiously, "What's the use of the heartwood of the Cangwu Ancient Tree?"
You want to get a bargain?
True Person Zhihua knew Zhou Wuji Zhou Wuji very well and immediately guessed his thoughts. She said with a half-smile, "That's a good thing. In terms of grade, it can be considered First Rank spiritual item."
"This item embodies the life force of the Cangwu Ancient Tree accumulated over thousands of years. If one could obtain it, it would extend one's lifespan by several decades, and for cultivators, it would be a supreme treasure for practicing Thunder Method..."
