Episode 44: Thirty thousand years in a hurry, the late stage of returning to the void
Dongzhen Xianting headquarters, inside the Daodao Hall.
I saw Zhou Yang sitting cross-legged under a statue of the True Lord as red as blood, meditating on the power of the Great Dao of this [True Lord Bloody Yang].
The path of this [True Lord of the Blood Yang] is very evil. It is an extension of the law of fire attribute and follows the burning path of blood and fire.
Therefore, his power of great power has a great influence on living beings, is extremely domineering, and is even more evil and weird than some demonic powers.
In some aspects, Zhou Yang's "Qianyang Avenue" and "Xueyang Avenue" also have similarities and differences, that is, the assimilation of all things.
After Zhou Yang exerts the magical power of "Qianyang Heavenly Way", he can assimilate all things and change the way of heaven.
The "Blood Yang Dao" of [True Lord Blood Yang] can penetrate the human body, control other people's blood and energy, and make other people's energy and blood under his control.
This is also a different kind of assimilation control.
Moreover, the "Blood Sun Avenue" also involves the law similar to the nirvana and rebirth of the Phoenix clan. When [True Lord Blood Sun] was alive, he had "resurrected from the dead" several times.
Zhou Yang also has a deep understanding of the magical power of "Nirvana" because of Jiang Fengxian's mother and daughter.
He has known a long time ago that the magical power of "Nirvana" seems to be related to the law of fire attribute, but in fact it has little to do with it.
Reborn from the ashes, just in the form of fire.
The law of fire is not the key point.
Otherwise, why can’t the equally powerful fire-attribute true spirit [Three-legged Golden Crow] in the demon clan be reborn from the ashes?
Why are there so many true immortals and true kings in the human race who practice fire-attribute power, but they cannot be reborn from the ashes?
Even the "Fire Lotus Reincarnation" magical power of Zhou Yang's [Qianyang Golden Lamp] is not actually a purely fire-attribute magical power.
In Zhou Yang's cognitive understanding, the essence of "Nirvana" should be the application of the law of life.
The law of life is an advanced law derived from the laws of the five elements such as fire, wood, and water, and is difficult to be used and controlled by ordinary true immortals.
The Phoenix clan can "nirvana" because their own bloodline has a resonance with the law of life, and they can trigger the nirvana of the law of life.
Zhou Yang believed that [True Lord Bloody Yang] had touched the law of life through his unique power of "Bloodyang Avenue", which enabled him to master the magical power of "Nirvana".
But even so, for the True Lord in the Return to Void Stage, this kind of magical power is not that difficult to deal with.
After all, the most important thing for a True Lord in the Return to Void Stage is the Immortal Soul Soul, and even the "Nirvana" magical power of the Phoenix Clan can only achieve complete rebirth below the seventh level.
At the seventh level, "Nirvana" can only restore the broken and dead bodies of the Phoenix clan and heal the injuries of their souls, but cannot resurrect their destroyed souls.
In other words, even if the eighth-level true saint of the Phoenix clan is destroyed along with the demon soul and soul, it will not be possible for him to be resurrected through the magical power of "Nirvana".
Zhou Yang is now realizing the power of the Great Dao of [True Lord Bloody Yang], looking for places that are similar to his own power of the Great Dao, and has mastered the magical power of "Nirvana" unintentionally.
Now if he wants to, even if his immortal body is broken, he can quickly rebuild it through the magical power of "Nirvana".
However, to "nirvana" to reshape a complete immortal body, the consumption of the power of the avenue is also very terrifying.
Therefore, just because you have this magical power, you cannot ignore the damage to the immortal body and exploit it unscrupulously.
But Zhenjun is practicing in seclusion in the Great Dao Palace, and he never has much idea about the passage of time.
When Zhou Yang temporarily left the Dao Hall to deal with a relatively important Immortal Court official business, he suddenly discovered that his five thousand years of retreat and cultivation in the Dao Palace had already taken more than 4,300 years.
"It's true that one day in a cave lasts a thousand years in this world!"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and also felt a little emotional about the rapid passage of time.
But if nothing else happens, this will be his situation for a long time to come.
Even if he no longer has the opportunity to practice in the Dao Dao Palace, he still has the Dao Yun Divine Stone, the [Original Dao Stone] and other objects that can be studied and studied. There are even some places in the Dongzhen Immortal Court itself that have a bonus effect on the cultivation of True Lord Returning to the Void.
As the leader of the fighting department, he naturally has no problem using those places.
At this time, Zhou Yang had already informed his family and [Zhenjun Liyang] about his dedication to practice.
So unless something really happened, usually no one would disturb his practice.
He had enough time to practice quietly by himself.
Time passed quickly, and soon tens of thousands of years had passed since Zhou Yang stayed in the position of the leader of Dou Bu.
During these ten thousand years, except for the failure of [True Lord Chang Geng] to unite with the Tao, everything in the human race in the True Immortal Realm was quiet, and nothing major happened that deserved special mention.
Zhou Yang also spends most of his time practicing in seclusion, but sometimes he is invited to participate in some celebrations and Taoism seminars held by the True Lord in the Return to Void Stage.
He is now an unparalleled figure among the True Lords in the Human Race's Return to Void Stage in the True Immortal Realm. After 10,000 to 20,000 years of enlightenment, he has personally killed three Demon Saints. This achievement has been pushed forward for tens of millions of years, and no one has done it.
been.
And his cultivation level rapidly improved to the middle stage of returning to void, which shocked many people.
Therefore, let alone the true kings of the human race who are in the Return to Void Stage who are curious about him, it is always easy to invite him to attend through some celebrations.
Even many eighth-level true saints from the Monster Clan have sent him invitations many times.
However, the number of times Zhou Yang went to the demon clan area was still very rare. Only when invited by some very famous true saints would he go there to save face.
He would politely decline other invitations from the True Saints of the Demon Clan because of his responsibilities and the inconvenience of leaving the human race's fairyland.
With the contact and exchanges with the true kings of the human race and the true saints of the demon race, Zhou Yang became more determined in his choice to be brave and diligent.
Because from what he learned, most of the True Lords and True Saints in the Return to Void Stage experience rapid improvement in their cultivation during the 100,000 years after attaining enlightenment.
After the time of enlightenment exceeds 100,000 years, it is basically difficult to see any significant growth in cultivation level.
This involves various reasons, but one's own mentality and thoughts definitely play a large part in it.
Therefore, it was undoubtedly the right choice for Zhou Yang to choose to work hard and practice in seclusion at this time.
And the positive feedback improvement in his cultivation level has been giving him the motivation to continue.
"The last piece of [Original Dao Stone] has been used, and the Dao Yun Divine Stone has been thoroughly understood. I'm afraid I can only polish it slowly!"
In the official residence within the Xianting headquarters, Zhou Yang looked at his cultivation status with a heavy look on his face.
In the past ten thousand years, with the help of the Dao Dao Palace and these various methods, he has been able to complete his own Dao very quickly. In just ten thousand years, he has achieved a cultivation effect that cannot be matched by others in a hundred thousand years.
Now his strength has greatly improved compared to when he was in the real demon world, and he has even developed several more magical powers.
But now without the assistance of treasures such as the Dao Yun Divine Stone, I have already dug deeper into my own Dao, and it is foreseeable that the subsequent progress of my cultivation will be very slow.
And that's exactly what happened.
In the next thousand years, Zhou Yang obviously felt that his cultivation seemed to have stagnated, with almost no changes.
This made him quite uncomfortable.
"Fellow Daoist Qianyang, you are too anxious. Once your cultivation reaches the level like mine, it will not take you thousands of years to break through. You should learn to adapt to this situation."
"Actually, I suggest that you go out and travel. Even traveling in the real immortal world and seeing the cultivation systems of various alien races can be inspiring and helpful for you to complete your own path."
In Chixiao Immortal Palace, inside Liyang Blessed Land, when Zhou Yang came back here to visit [True Lord Liyang] due to his slow progress in cultivation, [True Lord Liyang] learned about his situation and couldn't help but persuade him. and guidance.
The True Lords in the Returning Void Stage are very independent and self-confident, so after learning that Zhou Yang devoted himself to seclusion and self-cultivation, [True Lord Liyang] felt that something was wrong, but it was not easy to say anything.
But now that Zhou Yang had found him, he took advantage of the situation and expressed his opinion.
After listening to his words, Zhou Yang couldn't help but ponder.
He only knows that after most human true immortals return to the void after refining their gods, they will travel throughout the true immortal world to increase their knowledge.
He had planned to do the same.
It's just that due to various reasons, he has never been able to make the trip.
When he heard [Zhenjun Liyang] talk about this matter, he had to think about it seriously.
After thinking like this for a while, Zhou Yang nodded slightly and said, "Qianyang understands. Qianyang will consider Fellow Taoist Liyang's suggestion. Thank you very much for your advice."
"Guidance is out of the question. I just hope that fellow Taoist Qianyang you can stick to your heart and don't get impatient and go astray!"
[Zhenjun Liyang] waved his hands repeatedly, looked at him with a stern expression and admonished him.
Next, Zhou Yang stayed in Chixiao Immortal Palace for half a year and then returned to the Immortal Palace headquarters.
Not long after, he persuaded the other rotating True Lords to get a hundred-year holiday for himself.
He planned to spend a hundred years traveling around the various tribes in the True Immortal Realm, and getting to know the cultivation systems, customs and customs of each alien tribe.
And this time he was not alone, but brought three Taoist companions with him.
Originally, Jiang Yufeng learned about this and was clamoring to go.
But this time Zhou Yang did not coddle her and refused directly.
After all, although he dotes on his daughter, he cannot favor her in everything.
If Jiang Yufeng is brought along, what should brothers Zhou Guangcheng and Zhou Guangzheng think if they find out?
As a parent, when you treat your children, you should try your best to keep a bowl of water balanced if you can. Otherwise, if your children are unfilial in the future, it will be karma!
The True Immortal Realm is an extremely vast world, and the area occupied by the Human Immortal Realm is less than one-tenth of the entire True Immortal Realm.
Except for a few alien races that are as powerful as the human race, the wider area of the True Immortal Realm is occupied by all kinds of strange alien races.
In areas other than the human race, many alien races can break out racial wars over a spiritual mountain or a spiritual mine.
When Zhou Yang traveled to these foreign areas, in most cases he used illusions to disguise himself and blend in with the foreigners.
If you are discovered by those eighth-level alien beings, you don't have to worry too much. Under normal circumstances, you can make it clear that you are just here for a tour and leave immediately, and nothing will happen.
After all, the human race is the top force in the True Immortal Realm. Those alien races do not dare to take the risk of war with the human race and surround and kill a human race's True King in the Void Return Stage. Moreover, they may not be able to surround and kill Zhou Yang.
During their travels, Zhou Yang and the others also saw a variety of foreign races.
There is a foreign race called the "Horned Dragon Clan", they have a humanoid body, are covered in scale armor, and have a single horn on their forehead. They are born with magical abilities. They follow the path of bloodline cultivation, and there are also Hedao-level existences in the tribe.
There is an alien race called the "Winged Wolf Tribe". They have wolf bodies with wings, are cunning and cruel, and like to eat the brains and hearts of other creatures. They are disliked by many alien races.
There is a foreign race called the "Water Spirit Tribe", with bodies like fish and tails, and hair like algae. They live in an extremely vast sea area. They practice soul magic like the human race, and they also have Hedao-level protection.
There is also a foreign race called the "gold-eating tribe" who feed on spiritual gold ore, temper their bodies through the spiritual gold ore to become indestructible, and master various powers such as the five elements, wind and thunder.
This kind of alien race is very powerful alone, and it is almost difficult to find an opponent, but it is difficult to join forces, so it often falls into the prey of other alien races, and their corpses are used as materials for refining weapons.
Whenever Zhou Yang goes to a place where a foreign race is located, he will learn in detail about the alien's cultivation method, and will even find the alien's cultivation method for simulation and deduction.
And just like [Zhenjun Liyang] said to him at that time, each foreign race's way of cultivation has its own uniqueness, which is of great significance to the Zhenjun in the Return to Void stage who needs to learn from other paths to complete his own path.
reference research role.
Zhou Yang could clearly feel his progress during this kind of travel, which made him look forward to the rest of the journey even more.
Soon after, Zhou Yang traveled to a foreign area called the "Tianling Tribe".
This "Celestial Spirit Clan" is also the top force in the True Immortal Realm, and its strength is not much worse than that of the human race.
Its appearance is all kinds of strange, and there is no unified form. The way to distinguish one's own race from another race is the accompanying spiritual bead.
The name "Tianling Clan" is derived from the fact that they are born as a spiritual tribe. They are even called the "sons of Heaven" and consider themselves to be the darlings of Heaven.
And the talents of this clan are indeed very powerful. Strictly speaking, their cultivation system should be a divine soul and mana system similar to that of the human race.
However, unlike the human race who need to form a pill to transform into an infant, they only practice and strengthen their companion spirit bead from the beginning to the end.
The companion spirit bead is equivalent to the immortal soul of the "Tianling Clan" and is their most important thing.
And through this accompanying spirit bead, the talent of the "Celestial Spirit Clan" in magic and magical powers simply combines the advantages of the two races, the human race and the demon race.
Not only can they cast many kinds of spells instantly like monsters cast their innate spells, but they can also practice a variety of spells with different attributes just like human monks who practice other attribute spells.
If it weren't for the fact that the "Celestial Spirit Clan" couldn't refine and use various magic weapons like human monks, their strength would probably be stronger than that of the human race.
The eighth-level existence of the "Tianling Clan" is also called the "Spirit Saint".
These "spiritual saints" are actually the same as the human race's True Lord Returning to the Void. After reaching the eighth level, it is difficult to increase their cultivation level.
Therefore, a long time ago, the human race and the "Tianling Race" reached an agreement with each other, and the eighth-level beings from both sides could openly travel and communicate in each other's territory.
After Zhou Yang arrived in the "Tianling Tribe" area, he directly visited some eighth-level spiritual saints of the "Tianling Tribe" in a public capacity and discussed the Tao with them.
During this period, he naturally had to fight with some spiritual saints who wanted to give him, an outsider, power.
The result is obvious. At the mid-eighth level, there are not many people who can beat Zhou Yang, but they are really rare.
Therefore, he won consecutive battles, beating those holy saints to the point where they no longer had any temper at all.
Zhou Yang also gained a lot from communicating with the eighth-level spiritual saints of the "Tianling Tribe", plus his own observations of those "Tianling Tribe" below the seventh level, and studying their cultivation systems and techniques.
He stayed in the "Tianling Tribe" area for nearly ten years before leaving.
Such foreign races traveled one after another. When Zhou Yang's hundred-year vacation was almost used up, he had only visited 70% of the True Immortal Realm.
As a last resort, he could only take another thirty years of leave and continue to travel the remaining areas.
After another thirty years passed, Zhou Yang finally traveled all over the True Immortal Realm and returned to the Human Immortal Realm.
"How do you feel about this trip to fellow Taoist Qianyang? Judging from the look on your face, I guess you have gained a lot!"
In the Xianting headquarters, when Zhou Yang, who had returned from traveling, handed over his powers from the "Marshal Xuan Ling Evil Breaker" who acted for him, he saw the other party looking at him with a smile and asking about the results of his trip.
Seeing this, he did not shy away from anything, and answered frankly: "The harvest is very great, and it is also an eye-opener."
"Marshal Xuan Ling Breaking Evil" heard this and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Hahaha, that's natural. Otherwise, why would we go on a long journey after refining the gods and returning to the void?"
"This is just the True Immortal Realm. When fellow Taoist Qianyang retires in the future, you can go to the Ascension Platform to ask for some spatial landmarks of the lower realms, and directly travel around the lower realms to experience the laws of different worlds, and observe the cultivation methods of various alien races.
You will also gain a lot from it, fellow Taoist!"
After leaving office in the future?
When Zhou Yang heard the words "Marshal Xuan Ling Breaks Evil", he couldn't help but look at him.
Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Court's rotation of true kings takes place once every 100,000 years.
Only under some special circumstances during this period would someone do it for less than 100,000 years.
For example, [True Lord Lingxu] only served as the rotating True Lord for more than 50,000 years, and was suddenly replaced by [True Lord Xunyang].
As for [True Lord Xun Yang], he only served as the rotating True Lord for a few thousand years before he resigned early and passed the throne to Zhou Yang.
Therefore, if Zhou Yang does not encounter such a thing, he can either choose to wait until he has served for 100,000 years before abdicating the throne, or he can take the initiative to resign early.
According to Zhou Yang's own thoughts, it doesn't actually matter whether the leader of the fighting department does something in the future.
Anyway, he has the qualifications to serve as the leader of the fighting department, and his words will be effective in the human race from now on.
But he can't just think about himself.
With him in the position of the leader of Doubu, Chixiao Immortal Palace can enjoy the benefits of Immortal Court.
If he steps down and abdicates, this benefit will be greatly reduced.
So although Zhou Yang was a little tempted at this time, he still held back his thoughts and did not really take action.
All in all, the income from this trip to the True Immortal Realm has been enough for him to digest for a while, and there is no need to think about abdicating the throne yet.
In the following time, Zhou Yang focused on digesting the gains gained from traveling to the various tribes in the True Immortal Realm, and rarely left the Immortal Court headquarters.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of years passed quickly.
After ten thousand years of dedicated practice, Zhou Yang feels that he has made considerable progress. If he can maintain this progress, he may be able to break through to the late stage of returning to the void in another ten thousand years.
But at this time, the gains he gained from traveling to the True Immortal Realm have already been digested. It will undoubtedly be very difficult for him to make such rapid progress in cultivation as he did in the past ten thousand years. He will need to find another opportunity.
Involuntarily, Zhou Yang remembered what the "Xuanling Evil Marshal" said thousands of years ago in his mind.
Traveling around all the heavens and realms is indeed something that many true kings in the return to void stage, especially those in the late stage of return to void, often do.
"Chixiao Immortal Palace seems to be developing very well now? Then go back and take a look first!"
After Zhou Yang pondered for a while, he decided to go back to Chixiao Immortal Palace to have a look and understand the situation first.
Since he took over as the leader of Doubu, he has rarely paid attention to the internal affairs of Chixiao Immortal Palace. His son Zhou Guangcheng also knows that he is devoted to cultivation and has no time to pay attention to these things, so he rarely reports these trivial matters to him.
However, Zhou Yang himself also knew that after he opened the way to the "Linghuan Realm" to ascend to the True Immortal Realm, Chixiao Immortal Palace became the receiving place for the human race's true immortals in the lower realm. Basically, the "Linghuan Realm" was the capital of the human race's true immortals.
Joined Chixiao Immortal Palace.
With such a stable source of income, Chixiao Immortal Palace must have developed very well over the past 20,000 years.
Sure enough, the situation was just as Zhou Yang thought, and even better than he thought.
According to Zhou Guangcheng's report, there are now as many as sixteen true immortals in the Tribulation Stage alone in Chixiao Immortal Palace, seven of whom were born in the lower realm.
At the same time, there were four true immortals in the later stages of the tribulation. The two who survived the tribulation were Baichuan Zhenren and Zhou Guangzheng.
Although this number is still smaller than that of Zhenyangmen, compared with the three or four big cats and kittens in the past, it is undoubtedly an earth-shaking change.
And thanks to Zhou Yang's opportunity to recommend people to serve in the Immortal Court every five thousand years, even if Zhou Yang himself is not counted, there are now five immortals from Chixiao Immortal Palace serving in Dongzhen Immortal Court, and there are even some
There is one quota that has not been used.
At this time, everyone can see that the revival of Scarlet Firmament Immortal Palace has been completed, and it is just around the corner to become the dominant force in Scarlet Firmament Immortal Domain again in the future.
Therefore, many immortal palaces in other immortal realms that had cut off contact with the Scarlet Firmament Immortal Palace in the past have now resumed communication. True immortals from other immortal realms often come to the Scarlet Firmament Immortal Realm to travel and visit the Scarlet Firmament Immortal Palace.
Nowadays, very few people care about Zhenyang Gate.
So, the time seems to be ripe?
Zhou Yang's expression changed, and he immediately went to see [Zhenjun Liyang] again.
If he wants to step down as the leader of the fighting department, he must first communicate with [Zhenjun Liyang] and win his approval.
"I understand what fellow Taoist Qianyang means. Logically speaking, I shouldn't let fellow Taoist give up pursuing the great path just because of the interests of my sect."
"However, fellow Taoist serving as the leader of the Fighting Department has indeed benefited our sect a lot. It would be a pity if he resigned now!"
"So if possible, please ask fellow Taoist Qianyang to wait another ten thousand years. In another ten thousand years, our sect should be able to reduce its dependence on fellow Taoist!"
In Liyang Paradise, [True Lord Liyang], after hearing Zhou Yang's intention, pondered for more than half an hour before looking at him and expressing his opinion.
There is no doubt about the importance of Zhou Yang to Chixiao Immortal Palace.
[Zhenjun Liyang] definitely doesn’t want him to be resistant to Chixiao Immortal Palace because of certain things.
Therefore, the tone at this time was also very soft, and it was completely dominated by Zhou Yang.
Do you want to wait another ten thousand years?
Zhou Yang looked at [Zhenjun Liyang] with an expectant look on his face and hesitated.
"Okay, then let's wait another ten thousand years!"
In the end, Zhou Yang sighed lightly and agreed to [Zhenjun Liyang]'s request.
After all, Chixiao Immortal Palace treated him well and provided great help to his enlightenment. At this time, when he was needed, it would be too heartless for him to completely ignore it and let it go.
That's not his style.
So in the next ten thousand years, Zhou Yang spent less time practicing in seclusion and spent more time paving the way for Chixiao Immortal Palace.
He first promoted his son Zhou Guangzheng to the rank of Immortal General of the Dou Bu, and then through operations, Fairy Zi Yi, who had already joined the Immortal Court, became the auxiliary officer of an executioner in the Lei Department.
At the same time, he also opened the door to find positions in the fighting department for some other monks who were rotating in the True Lord's force, in exchange for the other party's subsequent protection and care for those who served in the Immortal Court of Chixiao Immortal Palace.
When Zhou Yang actually started to use the authority of the leader of the fighting department to do these things, he truly realized how "valuable" he was as the leader of the fighting department.
Entering the Dongzhen Immortal Court to work, this may not be a difficult thing for those Immortal Palaces that control a certain area of the Immortal Realm.
But for forces such as the Zhenyang Sect that have some strength but insufficient foundation, it is a difficult task.
They want to accomplish this, but it will cost a lot of money.
Therefore, as long as Zhou Yang is willing to open his mouth, many True Lords in the Return to Void Stage will come to him, trying to find a place in the Immortal Class for their juniors.
The gifts given by these people are definitely useless to him, but they are of great use to Chixiao Immortal Palace.
In this way, thousands of years passed quickly.
On this day, in front of several rotating True Lords who came to watch the ceremony, Zhou Yang entrusted the [Dou Zhan Divine Seal], which represented the power of the leader of the Dou Department, to the hands of [True Lord Jin Ting] who took over his position, and retired back to his hometown.
He took the position of "Marshal Qianyang Dangmo".
Holding the position of Marshal of the Fighting Department, Zhou Yang can also make it easier for him to use various important treasures of Immortal Court.
For example, the Gate of All Realms in the Ascension Platform.
And he has already said that after he abdicates this time, unless there is a big event like the expedition to the real demon world, he will no longer care about the affairs of the Immortal Court.
So he is actually retiring to retire.
After abdicating his position, Zhou Yang directly moved back to his blessed land of Qianyang and carried out a new round of renovation and improvement of the blessed land.
After he completed the transformation of the blessed land, he said goodbye to his wife, children, and children, and left the true immortal world to travel around the world.
There are hundreds of lower realms that humans in the True Immortal World have collected and known, and among them, there are still countless lower realms that have not been reported to the public after being discovered by the True Lord Returning to the Void.
Most of these lower realms are connected with the real immortal world by ascension platforms, and immortals from the lower realm will ascend from time to time.
Zhou Yang had already obtained all the officially recorded lower space landmarks from the Ascension Platform when he was still the Director of Doube.
At this time, he went to the "Jie Yin Hall" of the Ascension Platform to leave a mark, then left the True Immortal Realm directly and followed the space landmarks to find it one by one.
In all the heavens and worlds, each world will not be exactly the same, and the laws of each world will be different.
During the Return to Void Stage, the True Monarch travels around a realm and observes the changes in the realm, which is of great help to the deduction of one's own path.
Like those who are truly powerful, they do this all year round.
After Zhou Yang left the True Immortal Realm, it only took him a few years to reach the outside of the first world.
This world is larger than the Liyang Realm he has visited before. It is an earlier world under the jurisdiction of the True Immortal Realm, and it is also the hometown of many True Lords in the Return to Void Stage.
Zhou Yang traveled around this world without disturbing any living beings in this world. He just watched and understood the laws of this world as if he were the will of heaven.
During this period, his body stood in the void of chaos, enduring the turbulence of chaos and being attacked and harassed by giant beasts of chaos.
But none of these external objects could shake him in the slightest or distract him in any way.
Almost a hundred years later, Zhou Yang took back his spiritual consciousness and left this world for the next world.
In this way, in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yang stayed in the chaotic void for more than 6,000 years and observed more than 80 worlds.
This kind of observation really made him gain a lot, so when he felt that he needed to retreat to digest these gains, he returned to the Qianyang Blessed Land in the True Immortal Realm for retreat.
After such a retreat that lasted for more than five thousand years, Zhou Yang, after leaving the retreat, felt that he was not far from breaking through to the late stage of returning to virtual reality.
So after thinking about it, he was no longer in a hurry to continue traveling and observing other worlds, but went to the Avenue Hall.
At this time, Zhou Yang still had hundreds of years of practice time left in the Dao Dao Hall. After he entered it, he exhausted all his practice time in one breath.
Perhaps due to the previous accumulation, although the retreat time in the Dao Dao Palace was only a few hundred years, Zhou Yang felt that his gains were greater than those in the previous one or two thousand years.
Therefore, after he came out, he went directly back to his Qian Yang Blessed Land, took out an Origin Immortal Crystal and refined it.
At the beginning, Cangyuan Daozu gave him three Origin Immortal Crystals condensed from the original power of the True Immortal Realm. He used one when he broke through to the middle stage of returning to the void, and he still had the other two in his hand.
At this time, in order to break through the late stage of Void Return, Zhou Yang used two Origin Immortal Crystals one after another.
In this way, two Origin Immortal Crystals were smashed down one after another, and Zhou Yang also achieved a breakthrough as he wished.
Because he broke through in his own Qianyang blessed land this time, the movement was not spread at all, and even [Zhenjun Liyang] who was at the gate of Chixiao Immortal Palace did not know about it.
Zhou Yang, who had broken through to the late stage of returning to the void, did not make any noise, but calmly stabilized his own cultivation and realized the mystery of the late stage of returning to the void.
When one's cultivation has reached the late stage of returning to the void, all kinds of magical powers have been optimized, and the power of one's own great powers has become more perfect.
The most important thing is that the Immortal Soul Yuanshen has also begun to undergo a transformation.
Now, as long as Zhou Yang calms down, he seems to be able to feel the existence of a certain realm in the dark. It seems that as long as he can enter there, he will be able to achieve great liberation and great joy.
He knew from the classics left by his predecessors that the realm that exists in the dark is also known as the "original place" and the "source of the avenue", and is where the origin of the heavenly path in the true immortal world lies.
It is also the place where all the immortal Taoist ancestors will live after they join the Tao!
Only those who have reached the late stage of returning to virtual reality can vaguely feel the existence of the "Place of Origin", but there is no way to approach that place.
After entering the late stage of returning to the void, Zhou Yang also received a benefit, that is, his [Qianyang Golden Lamp], his natal immortal weapon, finally transformed into an earthly immortal treasure.
At the same time, [Qianyang Golden Pagoda] was also promoted to an eighth-level mid-level Earth Immortal Treasure.
In the future, as long as he cultivates them for tens of thousands more years, both of the Earthly Immortal Treasures can be promoted to the eighth level.
"You have made a breakthrough in your cultivation!"
In Liyang Blessed Land, when [Zhenjun Liyang] saw Zhou Yang coming to visit him, he immediately noticed the change in his cultivation, then looked at him with surprise and exclaimed.
"Yes, finally a breakthrough!!"
Zhou Yang nodded slightly and said with emotion on his face.
Upon hearing his words, [Zhenjun Liyang] twitched the corner of his mouth, not knowing what to say.
If someone else said this, maybe it would be okay.
But the time from Zhou Yang's refining of gods to the present is not even fifty thousand years!
In fifty thousand years, from the time of refining gods and returning to the void to the late stage of returning to the void, even those powerful beings who have reincarnated and re-cultivated, there are not many people who can do it!
"Fellow Taoist Qianyang, aren't you really the reincarnation of a certain great master?"
[Zhenjun Liyang] couldn't help but look at Zhou Yang and asked. This was not the first time that such doubts arose in his heart.
"Why did fellow Taoist Liyang say this? It's not like you don't know my origins. Besides, you also know how my cultivation level improved so fast and how many resources I used!"
Zhou Yang shook his head and was quite speechless about the idea of [Zhenjun Liyang].
The speed of his cultivation is much faster than that of ordinary Return to the Void True Lord, and he admits this.
But his improvement is all based on the consumption of a large amount of rare resources.
How many true kings in the stage of returning to the void can, after refining the gods and returning to the void, obtain various rare immortal treasures that help improve their cultivation like him?
Calculated, the various immortal treasures he consumed in cultivating to the late stage of returning to the void may not be comparable to the sum of several late stage true kings of returning to the void.
Little did he know that [Zhenjun Liyang] was also very speechless after hearing his answer.
Indeed, if you calculate carefully, the various resources used by Zhou Yang after refining the gods and returning to the void are indeed things that many true kings in the return to void stage have never seen in their lives.
Even he [Zhenjun Liyang], who has lived in the late stage of returning to the void for so long, has never used the original immortal crystal condensed with the original power of the true immortal world.
In the end, he could only cough dryly and said: "Ahem, in short, fellow Daoist Qianyang, the speed of your cultivation level improvement is indeed a bit shocking. If word spreads, it will shock many fellow Taoists."
Zhou Yang did not deny this.
But there is no need to care about anything, because now his cultivation strength has given him the confidence not to care about other people's opinions.
A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly looked at [Zhenjun Liyang] and asked: "I want to go to Zhenyang Gate. Fellow Taoist Liyang, would you like to accompany me?"
Go to Zhenyangmen?
[Zhenjun Liyang] was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yang, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said with an moved face: "Fellow Taoist Qianyang, do you want to..."
"This has to be done, right?"
Zhou Yang smiled slightly, and then said passionately: "Since they can't make up their minds to hand over the occupied interests, then knock on the door and teach them to make up their minds with reality!"
"Okay, well said!"
[Zhenjun Liyang] couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered loudly, and said loudly with an extremely excited look: "I have been waiting for this day for hundreds of thousands of years!"
For hundreds of thousands of years, [Zhenjun Liyang] has witnessed the decline of the Scarlet Firmament Palace step by step, and the growth of the Zhenyang Sect, taking away all the benefits that originally belonged to the Scarlet Firmament Palace. [Zhenjun Liyang] felt aggrieved.
and depression, one can imagine how intense it is.
Fortunately, he could endure it. If someone else faced this situation, he might not be able to endure it.
Over the years, leading the Scarlet Firmament Immortal Palace to rise again and taking back all the interests that had been encroached upon by the True Yang Sect has undoubtedly become [Zhenjun Liyang]’s life goal and his greatest wish.
Now that Zhou Yang has broken through to the late stage of returning to the void, how can he not be excited to help him fulfill this wish?
Immediately, the two of them left Liyang Paradise together without saying hello to anyone, and headed straight for the mountain gate of Zhenyang Gate.
Speaking of which, this was the first time Zhou Yang went to the mountain gate of Zhenyang Gate tens of thousands of years after he came to the Scarlet Firmament Immortal Domain.
Compared to the mountain gate of Chixiao Immortal Palace, the mountain gate of Zhenyang Gate is naturally much inferior.
But after millions of years of operation by the Zhenyang Gate, this mountain gate still has a hint of immortal palace-level power.
At this time, Zhou Yang and [Zhenjun Liyang] came together and showed their majesty outside the mountain gate of Zhenyang Gate, which instantly alerted [Zhenjun Tiancheng] and [Zhenxu] who were staying inside Zhenyang Gate.
True Lord].
"Li Yang, what do you want to do?"
After [Zhenjun Tiansheng] appeared, he immediately glared at [Zhenjun Liyang] and shouted.
But when he looked at Zhou Yang, his pupils suddenly shrank, revealing a look of extreme shock.
"You, you broke through again!"
Because he was so shocked, Tangtang was so shocked in the late stage of returning to the void that he stuttered his words.
And [Zhenxu Zhenjun] on the side was even more shocked and dumbfounded!
I think back then, when Zhou Yang had just returned to the void after refining the gods, he had a battle with Zhou Yang at Zhou Yang's enlightenment celebration.
Although the result was that he lost, in terms of cultivation, he was undoubtedly higher than Zhou Yang at that time.
As a result, now that tens of thousands of years have passed, he has just seen some hope of breaking through to the middle stage of returning to the void. Zhou Yang, whose cultivation level was lower than him back then, has already broken through to the late stage of returning to the void!
How could he accept this fact for a while?
And seeing the reactions of [Zhenjun Tiansheng] and [Zhenxu Zhenjun], [Zhenjun Liyang] felt extremely happy.
He looked at [Zhenjun Tiansheng] with a proud look on his face and shouted in a deep voice: "Tiancheng, you have also seen that now that fellow Taoist Qianyang has broken through, so have the territories that your Zhenyang Sect has invaded over the years.
It’s time to spit it all out, otherwise don’t blame me for being rude!”
As soon as these words came out, regardless of what [Zhenjun Tiansheng] thought, [Zhenjun Liyang] just felt very happy and comfortable.
He has never been so happy and comfortable in hundreds of thousands of years!
And when he saw [Zhenjun Tiansheng] and [Zhenxu Zhenjun]'s expressions changed dramatically and their silent postures because of his words, he felt even more happy.
Because he had faced the opponent's pressing step by step before, and he had come this way.
Now things have finally turned, and it's his turn to feel proud.
At this time, Zhou Yang also looked at the two people opposite him with great cooperation and said coldly: "What Fellow Taoist Liyang means is what I mean. If you, Immortal Fellow Tiansheng, are not willing to accept it, we can just go to Chaos Void and have a show."
!”
It's okay if he didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, the expressions of [Zhenjun Tiancheng] and [Zhenxu Zhenjun] across from them became even more ugly.
To this day, who doesn’t know that [True Lord Qianyang]’s reputation was all gained through battles with powerful men of the same level.
In addition, Zhou Yang's record of defeating [Zhenxu Zhenjun] when he first became a Taoist was all witnessed and experienced by them.
How dare they resort to force with Zhou Yang at this time!
After looking at Zhou Yang and the two of them in silence for a long time without daring to answer such words, [Tian Sheng Zhenjun] said slowly and in a low tone: "This matter is of great importance. I will wait until Junior Brother Yu Yang comes back. Only after convening all the senior leaders of our department for discussion can we make a decision!"
Hearing his words, [Zhenjun Liyang] suddenly raised his eyebrows, then waved his hand and said without hesitation: "Then I will give you three years. After three years, we will come again!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Yang and asked: "Fellow Taoist Qianyang, what do you think?"
"Everything is decided by you, fellow Taoist Liyang."
Zhou Yang said without hesitation.
The two of them asked and answered each other's questions and acted as if no one else was watching, which made the two true kings of the True Yang Clan feel angry and helpless at the same time.
But he didn't dare to say anything more.
I could only watch the two of them go away.
After returning to the blessed land of Liyang, [Zhenjun Liyang] could no longer bear the joy in his heart and shouted in front of Zhou Yang with a smile on his face.
"It's so happy, it's so happy! I haven't been so happy in hundreds of thousands of years!"
"I think back then, after Tian Sheng broke through to the late stage of returning to the void, he was so aggressive that he tried to force me to fight with him several times. For the sake of the sect, I could only grit my teeth and endure it!"
"Now that things have changed, I finally have the opportunity to pay back all the things he did back then!"
The dignified True Lord in the late stage of returning to the void, but now he loses his composure in front of Zhou Yang, which shows how much pressure [True Lord Li Yang] has been under these years, and how depressed and uncomfortable he is.
Zhou Yang also understood and sympathized with his feelings very much, and said at this time: "We can't let them get through so easily. Even if they spit out the occupied territory this time, they still have to pay the price for so many years of occupation. !”
"What Fellow Taoist Qianyang said is absolutely true. They must not let them get through this matter easily!"
[Zhenjun Liyang] nodded repeatedly, agreeing very much with Zhou Yang's words.
In this way, three years flew by quickly.
Three years later, Zhou Yang and [Zhenjun Liyang] came to Zhenyang Gate again.
At this time, [True Lord Yuyang] who was originally at the Xianting headquarters also rushed back after receiving the summons. Five true Lords from the two factions were confronting each other in the air, and the atmosphere was tense.
"Tian Sheng, the three-year period has passed. It's time for you to give your answer today!"
[Zhenjun Liyang] looked at [Zhenjun Tiancheng] opposite him energetically, and asked directly in a strong tone to ask the other party to give an answer.
Unexpectedly, after [Zhenjun Tiancheng] heard what he said, he said in a deep voice: "Go to Chaos Void, you can get the answer you want there!"
To the Chaos Void?
Zhou Yang and [Zhenjun Liyang] were both stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and nodded to each other.
This choice was somewhat beyond their expectations, but it was also normal.
After all, if you give up such a large area of territory without firing a shot, even if [Tian Sheng Zhenjun] and a few people are strong enough to suppress all dissatisfaction, it will make the entire Zhenyang Sect monks alienate and find it difficult to have confidence in the sect. .
Soon, the five Returning Void True Lords arrived in the chaotic void.
After arriving here, Zhou Yang discovered that [True Lord Taiyue] who ascended to the platform was actually there, but he was invited by [True Lord Yuyang] to come as a witness.
"Fellow Taoist Liyang, fellow Taoist Qianyang, you two are polite."
"I have been invited to come here this time to bear witness to the resolution of the dispute between your two factions. I hope that a few fellow Taoists can stop it and not break the rules and hurt the heritage of my human race!"
In the chaotic void, [Tai Yue Zhenjun] saw Zhou Yang and the two of them, and immediately expressed his intention to come by bowing his hands and saluting them.
"Since we have fellow Taoist Taoist monk Taiyue as a witness, that's even better."
Zhou Yang nodded, then looked at [True Lord Tian Sheng] opposite and said: "Tian Sheng, when you asked Ling Xu to harm me, I have never forgotten it. Today you and I will put an end to this matter! "
[True Lord Tiansheng] heard this and replied not to be outdone: "That's a coincidence. I also want to see the strength of [True Lord Qianyang], whether it is really as exaggerated as the rumors!"
"Nature will let you see it!"
Zhou Yang said, and took the initiative to distance himself, and soon started fighting with [Zhenjun Tiansheng].
It has been more than 100,000 years since [Zhenjun Tiansheng] entered the late stage of returning to the void. It is hard to say whether his strength is stronger or weaker than [Zhenjun Liyang].
But Zhou Yang has full confidence that he will never lose.
His "Qian Yang Dao" was originally a Dao that was good at fighting. After he entered the late stage of returning to the void, this Dao has been perfected and deduced to a very deep level, so he has developed more magical powers. Several kinds.
Today's battle is just the right time for him to fully test his current strength.

I overestimated myself, and found that I still couldn’t finish this chapter. The explanations behind joining the Tao and becoming the Heavenly Immortal Taoist would take up several thousand words. Alas, the real completion of the book will have to wait for the next chapter! Because the new book has I have also run out of manuscripts. It will take me about three days to save and write the manuscript for the new book. It will take at least five or six days for the next chapter to be published. Sorry, sorry!!!
