After leaving Jiutian Peak, Zhou Xingdou did not return directly to Jiuxuan Peak. Instead, he left the sect's grand formation, passed through his Supreme Saint Tribulation, and achieved the true Supreme Saint realm.
There's not much to say about the Supreme Tribulation. Zhou Xingdou's tribulation is no longer like that of an ordinary person. There's only one thing he needs to do: swallow the tribulation whole and then successfully pass through it.
For him, the Heavenly Tribulation was merely a nourishing tonic, no longer a threat, and hardly aroused Zhou Xingdou's interest.
Even after Zhou Xingdou left the sect, the time he disappeared was less than a breath before the ten-thousand-mile-long tribulation cloud vanished with a roar.
After that, Zhou Xingdou returned to Jiuxuan Peak and never appeared again. Both Xuantian Dao Sect and Falei Tian Palace were extremely calm, but it was unknown whether a storm was brewing.
However, Zhou Xingdou deceived Fang Daokun. In fact, he had the ability to ascertain whether Xuanjizi was in the sect. Even if Xuanjizi was not in the Xuantian Dao Sect, Zhou Xingdou had ways to lure him back.
Zhou Xingdou did have ulterior motives for choosing to launch the Daoist Master's Inquiry into the Daoist Master's Heart ten days later, during the Daoist Master's coronation ceremony.
In fact, that occasion was not suitable for launching the Dao Lord's Heart-Questioning Game, because many people from other sects would be attending the coronation ceremony. Launching the Dao Lord's Heart-Questioning Game at that time would undoubtedly make outsiders laugh at them and severely damage the prestige of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Zhou Xingdou did this for one reason only: to officially become a Daoist disciple of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Even if Xuanjizi appears on the day of his coronation, Zhou Xingdou will not immediately have the two peaks activate the Dao Lord's Heart-Questioning Game. Instead, he will wait until Xuanjizi has completed his coronation and officially become the Dao Son before having anyone activate it.
The Daoist Child of the Xuantian Dao Sect is no different from the Crown Prince, Holy Son, or Divine Son of other forces; they are all candidates for the next leader of the force.
What Zhou Xingdou is after is the position of Dao Lord!
After all, even Wan Tianzhou, who was at the Saint Realm, could sit on the throne of the Holy Lord of the Immortal Power Huanyu Holy Land, so Zhou Xingdou felt that there was nothing wrong with him sitting on it.
Moreover, he is stronger than Wan Tianzhou!
He even hoped that Xuanjizi really had a problem, so that when the Dao Lord questioned his heart, Xuanjizi's position as Dao Lord would definitely be stripped by the Xuantian Ancestral Spirit and imprisoned in the Xuantian Dharma Realm to be judged by the ancestors.
Of course, even if Zhou Xingdou officially becomes a Dao Child, he is still young and his cultivation level is still low, so he is not the first in line to become the acting Dao Master.
Normally, the first in line should be the peak masters of Nine Heavens Peak and Nine Profound Peak. The two peak masters would act as the Daoist master in place, waiting for the Daoist to reach a certain level of cultivation and temperament before allowing the Daoist to succeed.
However, the current situation of the Xuantian Dao Sect is that the peak master of Jiutian Peak is missing, and the peak master of Jiuxuan Peak, Tian Jiu'er, is Zhou Xingdou's master and has no interest in the position of Dao Master.
Moreover, even if Tian Jiu'er had the will, Zhou Xingdou didn't believe that Tian Jiu'er would compete with him for the position of Dao Child.
Therefore, given the current situation, as long as Xuanjizi has a problem, Zhou Xingdou will become the youngest supreme immortal power master in the history of Xuantian Dao Sect, even in the Taichu Dao Domain, and even in the long river of the early Yuan era, in ten days!
With the reunification of the Zhou family's young master position, Zhou Xingdou can be said to control two supreme immortals, controlling two of the nine Dao Domains of the Primordial Era, which is nothing short of terrifying.
Therefore, Stephen Chow is sincerely grateful to and respects Fong Tin-yeung. This is also the fundamental reason why Fong Tao-kwan and the Fong family have shown considerable goodwill towards him.
He wouldn't even mind supporting Fang family if given the opportunity.
Because the benefits I am about to receive are a great opportunity that is hard to find again in the history books of the early Yuan Dynasty, past, present and future!
Of course, all of this is predicated on Zhou Xingdou's careful planning, and that things did not develop as he had envisioned.
The most important thing now is to ensure that the conditions for activating the Dao Lord's Heart-Searching Formation are met. He still needs to inform Ning Yueze of everything so that Qing Yanjing can completely control the Nine Profound Peak Formation and find the formation's core.
Therefore, the first thing Zhou Xingdou did upon returning to Jiuxuan Peak was to tell Ning Yueze everything he knew and planned.
Just like Fang Daokun when he first learned about Xuanjizi, Ning Yue was also extremely shocked, and almost sought out Xuanjizi for a face-to-face confrontation.
Fortunately, Zhou Xingdou managed to persuade Elder Ning, who was upright and unyielding, by explaining the pros and cons. Otherwise, Zhou Xingdou would have suffered a complete collapse and all his plans would have failed.
However, Ning Yue was also within Zhou Xingdou's expectations. She did not oppose Zhou Xingdou's plan. On the contrary, she strongly agreed with Zhou Xingdou's use of the Dao Lord's Inquiry on Xuanjizi and immediately agreed to this approach, completely releasing the Nine Profound Peak Formation to Qing Yanjing.
Qing Yanjing lived up to his reputation as a Grandmaster of Saint-grade Array Dao, finding the array eye in just one hour.
Afterwards, Stephen Chow announced that he was going into seclusion to prepare for the upcoming coronation of the Daoist.
However, under the guise of seclusion, he secretly made contacts and plans for the big events to come, while also consolidating his cultivation level, which had just entered the Supreme Saint Realm.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
Five days is not a long time, even for Zhou Xingdou who values time like gold, it is just a blink of an eye.
During this time, Zhou Xingdou did not forget Yun Jinzhi and kept a close eye on the information sent back by the Xingyou Guards who stayed at the Lin residence.
However, the Star Guards did not gain much. Yun Jinzhi was perfectly normal and did not do anything out of line or unusual.
She would often sit in the courtyard, missing Stephen Chow, and frequently murmur his name.
But this does not mean that Zhou Xingdou will stop doubting Yun Jinzhi, and at this time he will also disrupt his plans because of his affections for his children.
There was still no news from Zhou Xingdou's master, Tian Jiu'er, and Commander Xingyou had not returned since going to the outer realms, which made Zhou Xingdou feel insecure.
There was no news from Luo Bailian on the Luo family's side either. It seems that they had not discovered that they had been exposed, and they were unaware of Fang Tianyang's incantation. They continued as before.
This was good news for Zhou Xingdou. After all, five days had passed and the Luo family still hadn't found out, so it was basically impossible for them to know, let alone inform Xuanjizi. This way, Zhou Xingdou's plan wouldn't be disrupted.
As for Yuan Tian, who has returned home, he sent a message to report that he is safe and sound. He just wants to spend more time with his wife. Later, he will participate in Zhou Xingdou's coronation as the Dao Child at the Divine Martial Sect, and then he will sit under Zhou Xingdou.
Zhou Xingdou had no objection to this. After all, Yuan Tian was not his servant. He was not a battle slave extracted from the system like Fahai, nor was he implanted with the Myriad Transformation Slave Seal like Qiu Yu.
Yuan Tian followed Zhou Xingdou for two reasons: first, because of the Zhou family, and second, because he chose Zhou Xingdou and believed that Zhou Xingdou was worthy of his following.
Everything he did for Stephen Chow stemmed from loyalty, which was precisely what Stephen Chow admired most about him.
Of course, this information was not enough to wake Zhou Xingdou from his cultivation. There was another reason why he woke up before ten days had passed.
Because his long-dormant system suddenly spoke up today!
