Start from Wusheng

Chapter 1208

"Tsk tsk, how come I never noticed before? Ao Donglai is quite capable!"

Zhou You watched as Ao Donglai skillfully combined sword and staff techniques, demonstrating the full potential of ascending to the Great Thousand Worlds, and couldn't help but praise him.

He used the Great Thousand Seal to connect the Three Thousands, unifying the Three Thousands into one, along with the Great Thousand, Middle Thousand, and Small Thousands, creating an extraordinary power. At the same time, he drove the enemy into the Yin Abyss and propelled the Great Thousand to Ascension, causing the scene to vanish into nothingness.

Without the Great Thousand Seal as the pivot, the limit that ordinary people can achieve is that of the Sleeping Bamboo Empress mastering the Taiyin Returning Blade.

Ao Donglai was the same; he leaned more towards the essence of the sun, so he combined swords and staffs and studied the move of ascending to the Great Thousand Worlds.

It was precisely because his cultivation level was low and he had not yet developed his own path that he was able to comprehend and absorb the essence of this move, thus creating his own path.

For example, Lai Hantian, who was also present, was already a disciple of the Tiantian Sect and had his own path, so he was unaware of the essence of this move.

Zhou You was also surprised. Although Ao Donglai's sword strike was not as profound as Zhou You's, its power had already reached the threshold before Zhou You transformed into the Heavenly Pillar. It was clear that Zhou You had made rapid progress over the years. Seeing the numerous wounds on Ao Donglai's body, Zhou You fell silent. The Heavenly Pillar had shaken hundreds of times over the years, which meant that the enemy had attacked the Heavenly Pillar. As for the other small and medium-sized battles, they were countless.

Ao Donglai, these years have not been easy.

Zhou Zhouyou felt a moment of disorientation, as if he had returned to the day he first entered the sacrificial palace.

Ao Donglai, dressed in the uniform of a hundred-rank official, smiled and led him onto the Qingyun Road, slowly entering the deep palace, while enthusiastically explaining to him the taboos and precautions within the palace.

Many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and things have changed!

Looking at Mu Leizheng again, she fused with the sacred artifact Dawn. Although she failed to transform into the Martial Saint Divine Weapon, her strength was still so great that Ao Donglai could not defeat her, and they were locked in a back-and-forth battle.

"Hmm, there are some traces of the Transfer Technique. It seems that with the help of the Human Race Cult, she has collected the complete inheritance of the Martial Saint."

"But Mu Leizheng clearly has his own path, which is the path of abandoning thunder and fire."

"..."

During their battle, Zhou You remarked that these two were not strangers to him; they were both passersby in his life, and had appeared more than once.

For example, before Mu Leizheng met Dongfang Daqian, he was a powerful martial artist who ran his own gang and did not have any sect or faction. He leveled up by teaming up with others to fight in the wild.

Back in the North, she helped the Gongliang City family hunt down Kunpengzi, and later she joined forces with Tiger Corpse to explore the underground palace ruins of the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint...

Hmm, thinking of this, Zhou You had a flash of inspiration, and a chill ran from his spine to the top of his head.

Before my eyes flashed images of 'Xiang Lang', from a boy to a young man to a middle-aged man, as the myriad Martial Saint's clones, from weak to strong, passed by one by one, like a rapidly spinning revolving lantern.

At the time, he couldn't see the mystery, but now he was pondering the extraordinary technique of the transformation of heaven and man, and a sudden realization came when his memories were triggered.

It turns out the answer had already been given to him long ago.

The different stages of the past encountered by the Martial Saint in the underground palace ruins are precisely the abilities he mastered after being lifted up.

The concept of "transformation from heaven to man" is essentially a necessary process of being reborn in a higher-dimensional space and undergoing a life upgrade.

The truth behind the Martial Saint's transformation lies in this. No wonder the Martial Saint is referred to as 'passing away from the world'; their disappearance from the world is not simply death.

Since ascending to the Martial Saint realm, they have become high-dimensional beings of the 'Celestial Beings' type. Their activities in the human world are not their true forms but projections. Their passing away is the withdrawal of their projections and their farewell to the world.

What the Martial Saint of Myriad Manifestations left in the underground palace was a shadow he had captured from the past, created from nothing, with flesh and blood.

"The art of the cauldron, the transformation of heaven and man, transformation, transformation, the secret lies here."

The problem is that only by ascending to the Martial Saint realm can one acquire the necessary skills.

Zhou Youzhen is still in the Heavenly Ladder realm, which he cannot achieve even with his body intact. Why is the panel showing a problem?
After some thought, the nine small cauldrons trembled slightly, providing the answer. So that's how it is. If he were still made of flesh and blood, of course he couldn't do it. But by dividing his physical body and fist intent into nine small cauldrons, serving as the nine cauldrons themselves, he could actually master and unleash this extraordinary technique.

For a Martial Saint to be reborn, he would have to shed his mortal body. But he simply didn't have a mortal body; he resided on the Nine Cauldrons, skipping that step. "Haha, easy, easy!"

As soon as Zhou You had a thought, smoke and green light shot up from the nine small cauldrons, and countless characters and cauldron patterns spread and grew.

In the blink of an eye, a human-shaped outline appeared in the pitch-black space inside the Heavenly Pillar, which was none other than Zhou You.

This body is in its final state before transforming into the Heavenly Pillar, exactly as described above. Touching it reveals flesh and blood, the state before it disintegrated.

Zhou You's senses were extremely unique at this moment, experiencing the surroundings from two perspectives: the nine small cauldrons and his own body.

One is inorganic matter, and the other is organic matter; the information reception and feedback are completely different, creating a very vivid experience.

"Ok!"

With a thought, the newly formed body disappeared into the Heavenly Pillar, leaving behind nine small cauldrons to continue suppressing the Heavenly Maiden.

Zhou You blinked, looked left and right, and made sure he was in the crowd of onlookers.

Yes, on the other side are members of the racial cult, clearly divided into two groups, while on this side are Ao Donglai's disciples and followers.

"This gentleman looks unfamiliar; I've never seen him before!"

One of the powerful warriors was very vigilant. As soon as he saw that Zhou You was not carrying the long-handled broadsword of his fellow disciple, he immediately questioned him.

Zhou You introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Zhou You, and I am a member of the Zhou family."

Is it Zhou You, Zhou You, or Zhou You...?

Dozens of versions with the same pronunciation but different characters flashed through Qiangwu's mind. Before he could think about them in detail, he saw a faint light flash in Zhou You's palm, which was clearly the characteristic of Zhou Family Fist of Liuli Shouguang Fist.

My heart is at ease.

The Zhou clan's western branch and the southern border were allies, and since Zhou You had revealed his identity, the hostility instantly dissipated.

Fortunately, Zhou You revealed his real name, and it was indeed an ordinary name; if he had called himself Zhou Daqian, there would have been no peace.

"Brother Zhou, my master will surely win this battle."

Zhou You's current physical cultivation level is at the fifth level of the Strong Martial Realm, which is similar to his opponent's. People at the same level tend to have more to talk about.

To continue their lineage, Ao Donglai and Lai Hantian each recruited many disciples, thus cultivating quite a few talents.

Over the years, while fighting and training, Lai Hantian's staff-wielding disciples and Ao Donglai's knife-wielding disciples have worked together. Lai Hantian patrols various parts of the southern border, while Ao Donglai guards the Heavenly Pillar.

Today, most of those gathered at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain are disciples and grand-disciples of Ao Donglai, with a small number of followers of Hantian. They are easy to identify: those carrying long-handled broadswords are Ao Donglai's disciples, while those holding staffs are Hantian's followers.

"Over the years, the battles that have broken out around Tianzhu have occupied more than 60% of the southern border region!"

As a spiritual holy site in southern Xinjiang, the erection of Tianzhu was of profound significance. For the rebels and evil forces, no matter how many people they killed or how much land they occupied, it was far less significant than the fall of Tianzhu.

Therefore, those who attacked Tianzhu were all powerful calamities and great demons.

Ao Donglai used these people to practice and test his swordsmanship, and he became invincible, earning the fearsome reputation of "Great Thousand Blades".
