Inside the quiet room of the Star Palace, purple mist filled the air, and the Lotus Sutra shone like a ribbon.
The power of the stars was as thick as mist, and the spiritual energy rippled around like lake water. Zhou Xingdou sat in the center, the light of enlightenment shining continuously behind his head.
At that very moment, Zhou Xingdou's long-dormant eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his eyes slowly opened.
Purple energy surged within those silvery-white eyes, followed by a sea of thunder, and an aura of indifference to heaven and earth coalesced in them.
The light of enlightenment behind his head was also fading slightly, and Zhou Xingdou's body made crackling sounds. Zhou Xingdou also revealed a cold smile.
His body looks exactly the same as before, and his cultivation level hasn't increased at all, but his strength has improved by an unknown amount.
Swallowing nineteen Enlightenment Bodhi Seeds in one gulp did not diminish their effects; on the contrary, the cumulative effect of enlightenment amplified their benefits.
The enlightenment Zhou Xingdou gained in these thirty days was definitely more than nineteen times, or even twenty times, than when he first took one Bodhi Seed of Enlightenment. It was definitely more worthwhile than taking one alone.
However, this also made it take him longer to digest what he had learned. Originally, it would only take him a day to digest one pill, but now it took him thirty days to digest what he had learned.
But what he gained was absolutely worth all the time Stephen Chow wasted.
Stephen Chow also opened the system panel to verify what he had learned:

...
Just as Zhou Xingdou felt, his first chapter of the Ziwei Taihuang Scripture remained at the minor completion stage, just like in his previous life.
After all, it took him twenty years to barely achieve minor success in his previous life, and even with twenty Bodhi seeds of enlightenment, he still hasn't achieved complete success.
Moreover, Zhou Xingdou, the Bodhi Seed of Enlightenment, felt that the Ziwei Taihuang Scripture was not very useful for his own practice and did not seem to allow for rapid progress like other cultivation methods.
Although he was still in the Lesser Completion stage, he had reached the pinnacle of Lesser Completion, and his holy power had been condensed to an unbelievable degree.
He no longer needs to draw upon the power of the stars, or even the power of heaven and earth. With a single thought, these powers can be directly generated and circulated within his body, merging with his own holy power.
Now, even a wisp of his holy power is comparable to the might of a divine power, which is terrifying.
The Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique has now directly surpassed the mastery stage and reached the minor completion stage. As the supreme mystery of the Thunder Dao, the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique cultivates not only supernatural powers but also the Dao itself!
If we're talking about the ultimate techniques in the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Art, Zhou Xingdou could activate most of them even when he was just starting out. Now that he has achieved minor success, not only have the power of those ultimate techniques and supernatural abilities increased significantly, but Zhou Xingdou's understanding of the Dao of Thunder has also deepened considerably.
In fact, he believed that if he reached the Great Sage realm, he could immediately manifest some of the power of the Heavenly Punishment Law.
The Falling Sunset Sword Manual seems to be even more terrifying than Zhou Xingdou imagined; he is still only at the minor completion stage and has only entered the mastery stage.
This did indeed strengthen his sword intent considerably, but it was also the technique that improved it the least. It's unclear whether he's accumulating power, waiting for a second burst of power.
His Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique is divided into Giant Elephant, Dragon Elephant, and Primordial Elephant. Now, he has already mastered the Giant Elephant stage, and his supreme power technique has directly reached the sixth level.
The fifth layer of divine and demonic seal is a perfect and flawless sealing method that can seal oneself and others, and the sealed person is almost unable to detect it. It can also seal and control others.
But in reality, this method is not very useful to Zhou Xingdou. He has the perfect level of concealment of the Myriad Realms Flower Manual, so even if he needs others not to know his realm, he does not need to seal his own cultivation.
As for sealing other people, it's better than nothing, and it's only effective against those with good fortune; the weaker ones are simply killed.
Even if they want to control others, men like Zhou Xingdou can use the Myriad Transformations Slave Seal, and women can use the Myriad Realms Flower Manual, so they hardly need to spend time and effort to control them.
The sixth gate of hell is an endless summoning method, connecting to the divine elephant that guards the prison as if it were hell itself, summoning the gods and demons of hell to serve one's own purposes and fight for oneself.
It can be said that if Zhou Xingdou reaches the sixth level of the Gate of Hell during a demonic calamity, and high-level demons do not appear, he can use the Gate of Hell to contend with the sea of demons.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xingdou has only just reached the Great Elephant stage and has not yet entered the Dragon Elephant stage. At most, the Gate of Hell can only open a crack and cannot be fully opened to witness the endless demonic shadows gathering.
Even so, the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique is already extremely terrifying, encompassing a myriad of techniques within a single skill.
By merely mastering the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique, one hardly needs to learn any other supernatural abilities or techniques to become invincible in the world.
As for the seventh level of the Sovereign Body, the method for forging the Divine Elephant Body has been engraved in Zhou Xingdou's mind. However, he has been focused on enlightenment for the past thirty days and has not had time to forge the Divine Elephant Body.
He doesn't plan to forge anything now, because thirty days of seclusion is indeed long enough for someone like him.
This is the first time since my rebirth that I have been in seclusion for such a long time, almost half of the time since my rebirth.
What I've gained so far is already quite good, and my physical body is almost at the limit of a saint. Going into seclusion to cultivate that sovereign body wouldn't bring much improvement.
It would be better to wait until I break through to the Saintly Realm and then use the Saintly Tribulation to forge it all at once, which would save me trouble and time.
After all, he was a master of time management.
Moreover, there are only five days left until Wan Tianzhou is crowned the Holy Lord of the Universe. If he doesn't leave the seclusion now and gets distracted, he might miss this opportunity, and then he really won't be able to explain it to the Holy Mother of the Universe.
Moreover, Luo Hanyi was still with the Zhou family, and although he was in seclusion, he was still fully aware of the movements of the Star Palace.
Zhou Xingdou went into seclusion for thirty days, and Luo Hanyi rested in Xingdou Palace for thirty days without ever stepping out.
Although the two have not yet held a wedding ceremony, their status as husband and wife has already been established, so how could Stephen Chow bear to neglect her any longer?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingdou no longer hesitated. With each breath, the incredibly dense star power in the quiet room and the lake-like river of spiritual energy were instantly absorbed into his body.
Zhou Xingdou stretched his somewhat dusty body, slowly stood up, and with a surge of energy, shook open the door to the quiet room, then strode out.
