It takes tens of millions of miles to travel from the Eastern Continent to the Central Plains.

Even though the Xuantian Jiuhua formation is unrivaled in the world, it would still take more than half a month to travel through Hongchen Mountain.

Three days passed in a flash.

It took the Hehuan Sect's disciples less than half a day to go from being surprised at first to getting used to it, and then they all devoted themselves to their own cultivation.

In the past few days, Master and Senior Sister have been very dissatisfied with Zhou Tong.

It was because Zhou Tong was not with them, but was concentrating on training his new disciples.

"I...I can't do it anymore...Master, can you let me rest for a while?"

Zhong Ningxue was trembling and crying out in pain. She was already exhausted and knelt on the ground with wounds all over her body.

"Stand up, is this all you can do?"

Zhou Tong looked down at her and said coldly.

Ever since she passed on the Seventy-two Elephants Divine Refining Technique to the other party, Zhong Ningxue has shown an extraordinary talent for mental power.

In just a few days, she activated ten statues in the spiritual temple. This progress surprised Zhou Tong.

However, her biggest weakness at the moment is her physical strength. Last time, she desperately used the Five Elephants Divine King Dragon, which increased her own strength fivefold. She was just one step away from self-destruction and death.

Even though she was rescued and rebuilt herself from the ashes, making her body stronger, she still did not become a semi-saint.

This is also a common shortcoming among practitioners today.

Most people only focus on improving their cultivation and ignore the strength of their physical body.

Because the uses of aura are so widespread, under its blessing, a weak body will become indestructible.

Therefore, people tend not to spend time and energy to improve their physical bodies.

This also created a strange phenomenon: even a saint might not have the physical strength to reach the level of a semi-saint.

As for how to strengthen the body, Zhou Tong's method is very simple and also very rough.

That is to push Zhong Ningxue to her limit through continuous high-intensity fights, and then use the Dragon Pool to help her recover from her injuries.

Every time Zhong Ningxue recovered, Zhou Tong would pull her up and train her again. This cycle happened more than ten times a day, which sounded cruel.

In the past few days, both elders and disciples avoided Zhou Tong when they saw him and didn't even dare to say hello.

In their hearts, the Great Elder had become a devil-like existence, and even looking at him for a second longer made them feel terrified.

"Hurry up and stand up. It's still early today. We can still do it five more times!"

Zhou Tong was like an emotionless machine, and his tone was so cold that it made people feel hopeless.

At this time, Zhong Ningxue's body had reached the edge of semi-saint, which was a huge hurdle that could not be crossed by extraordinary means.

At this time, Zhong Ningxue didn't know that Zhou Tong had already hatched an evil plan in his mind.

That is to let her be shattered into pieces and linger on the edge of death dozens of times. In this way, it will be much easier to break free from the shackles.

"Master... I feel so tired today. Can I take a day off? Just one day is ok. I can make up for it tomorrow!"

Zhong Ningxue made a bitter face and couldn't help but act coquettishly, but was rejected directly by Zhou Tong as expected.

"Tomorrow and tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows! If you want to be lazy, then why bother practicing? Stand up!"

"Wuwu...Are you just enjoying torturing me?"

"What are you talking about!"

Zhou Tong said with an unhappy expression: "Am I such an inefficient person? Torturing you and helping you practice, these two things are not contradictory at all!"

However, as soon as the words fell, Hongchen Mountain shook violently.

"Jiuhua, what's going on!"

Zhou Tong's expression changed drastically. He felt a palpitating breath and asked hurriedly.

"Master, it's bad. We've encountered a space storm, and it's the highest level of space storm."

"what!!"

After hearing this, even Zhou Tong couldn't remain calm.

If the four continents want to go to Zhongzhou, they have to pass through a space barrier. This space barrier is always calm and peaceful, with no disturbances all year round. It is so quiet that it is infuriating.

However, they didn't expect that a space storm that occurs once in a thousand years would occur today, and they just happened to be hit by it!

Shocked, he released his mental power, and saw countless space cracks swirling around, trying to strangle everything in the storm.

This is no joke, these gaps are among the sharpest things in the world, they can split mountains and seas, even a saint would have no hope of escaping unscathed if he is caught in them.

“Ahhh…”

The people of the Hehuan Sect screamed in fear as they saw a space rift dozens of miles long sweeping over them, like a huge mouth of the abyss, ready to swallow up all living things.

If hit, the entire Red Dust Mountain would be split in half.

"Don't panic!"

Zhou Tong roared, and the void universe appeared behind him. Those red stars flashed suddenly, launching a flash of powerful luck.

At this moment, the gears of fate turned quietly, forcing the space rift to change its course, thus saving the Hehuan Sect.

"We can't keep going like this. Red Dust Mountain will be reduced to a pile of rubble before the storm is over."

Zhou Tong was sweating profusely and made an assessment of the situation in an instant. At this critical moment, he wanted the imperial soldiers to take action to resolve the crisis, but unsurprisingly, he did not get any response.

"Damn mirror!"

He cursed loudly, but he had expected that he was not in a desperate situation yet. He really shouldn't seek this kind of external force.

"Master...what should we do now?"

Zhong Ningxue was trembling all over, with undisguised fear written all over her face, and she leaned closely against Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong comforted her and immediately called everyone.

In the blink of an eye, Murong Ya, senior sister, Yao Xian and Huo Xinxin gathered over, all with solemn expressions on their faces.

"I'll keep it short because the situation is urgent. Space storms will automatically chase individuals with strong auras. That's why Red Dust Mountain was locked onto by them."

"I've heard this before, so what?" Huo Xin'er asked with a frown.

The next moment, Zhou Tong took out a chapter of talismans.

"Fu Jiu Er, to the glorious one."

"Give me all your strength!" he ordered decisively.

"You want to use yourself as bait to trigger the space storm yourself? I absolutely disagree with this!"

Murong Ya's face turned pale and her heart trembled as she said that she couldn't bear to watch her lover step into the forbidden zone.

"Don't talk back!"

Zhou Tong almost yelled, "If I can't protect you, what's the point of me staying alive? It doesn't matter if you don't agree, I will still get out!"

"Wait a moment!"

Murong Ya and the eldest senior sister struggled for only a moment and immediately made a decision. Now was not the time to be sentimental, and Zhou Tong's method was the best solution at the moment.

In a short while, they transferred all their strength to Zhou Tong, allowing him to enter the saint realm again, and an extremely powerful saint realm!

"Take care, little guy!"

Murong Ya reluctantly said, "Baby and I will be waiting for you in Zhongzhou."

"Don't worry, this is just a small matter for me!"

Zhou Tong said calmly, and was about to jump into the storm.

"Master, I'll go with you!"

At this moment, Zhong Ningxue somehow grabbed Zhou Tong's arm and was swept into the chaos of space with him.
