But what shocked Zhou Xingdou even more than the surge in power within his dantian was the rapid increase in his understanding of the universe!
Even if Zhou Xingdou doesn't admit it, his current understanding of the myriad paths of heaven and earth has even surpassed that of when he broke through to the Saintly Realm!
Perhaps in terms of power, I am not as strong as I was when I was a saint, but my understanding of heaven and earth and the Dao is almost overwhelming!
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou opened his deep, silvery-white eyes. Because he had now cultivated to the first level of the Dao Realm and regained his cultivation, the rolling purple aura once again filled his eyes.
All sorts of strange phenomena, as if from heaven and earth, surged into the Tongtian Daotai, which sat high in the sky, the moment Zhou Xingdou opened his eyes.
Zhou Xingdou slowly raised his bright and deep eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the distant Tongtian Daotai.
His fingers moved slightly, as if they contained endless Daoist meaning.
As he moved, the magnificent platform that spanned the heavens and earth seemed to be awakened, instantly bursting forth with dazzling light.
The platform transformed into a streak of light at an astonishing speed, like a shooting star streaking across the sky, and landed precisely in Zhou Xingdou's dantian.
The moment the Tongtian Dao Platform entered his dantian, Zhou Xingdou immediately felt an unprecedented and wondrous connection established between himself and the entire world.
This feeling was somewhat peculiar to Zhou Xingdou, because it was something he hadn't experienced when he broke through to the Saint Realm.
This made Zhou Xingdou raise his eyebrows slightly, his gaze fixed on a distant mountain peak.
In the blink of an eye, the moment a thought crossed his mind, the world was instantly filled with turbulent winds, thunderous roars, erupting fires, and howling gales.
All sorts of powerful forces of heaven and earth converged in an instant, forming a terrifying energy vortex that tightly enveloped the massive mountain peak that was ten thousand meters high.
The mountain peak teetered on the brink of collapse under the impact of this powerful force, and was completely annihilated in the blink of an eye, turning into countless tiny particles that drifted into the air.
This scene surprised Qing Yanjing, whose face was flushed. She had woken up when Zhou Xingdou caused the strange phenomenon, but she had not disturbed him.
Of course, he wasn't surprised because Zhou Xingdou destroyed that mountain. After all, when these powerful figures made a move, even the void itself was shattered, so destroying a mountain was nothing.
But how could he not see that Stephen Chow was using the power of heaven and earth to manipulate celestial phenomena and thus obliterate the mountain peak?
This was precisely what surprised her. Not to mention that Zhou Xingdou was a person without cultivation just now, his ability to manipulate the celestial phenomena to strike precisely without affecting even an inch of land or plants near the mountain demonstrated that Zhou Xingdou's control over the power of heaven and earth had reached the pinnacle!
Others may not know, but Qing Yanjing now understands the horror of this matter very well.
Because communicating with the power of heaven and earth, using the power of heaven and earth, and completely controlling the power of heaven and earth are not the same concept at all.
Although this celestial attack was not particularly powerful, it revealed a mastery of the power of heaven and earth, just as if Zhou Xingdou had given orders to the will of heaven and earth, allowing the will of heaven and earth to control the power of heaven and earth to attack on his behalf!
Such control over the power of heaven and earth is something that even a great sage might not be able to achieve, let alone a saint!
Looking at the empty space that had been erased without leaving a trace, Zhou Xingdou finally smiled slightly and murmured, "Interesting."
Feeling the strange Dao power within his body, unique to the Dao Realm of All Heavens, Zhou Xingdou finally understood the essential difference between the Primordial System and the Dao Realm of All Heavens.
The Primordial System prioritizes force over principle, so when they fight, it's like a brute splitting the sky, but the force is immense and heavy.
The Dao Realm of the Heavens emphasizes the Dao over physical strength, possessing a profound understanding of the Dao and the universe. By drawing upon the power of the universe, their Dao power is exquisite and unparalleled, capable of deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that although he had reached the first level of the Dao Realm, he was now in harmony with the power of heaven and earth.
However, if he disregards the power of heaven and earth, he would definitely not be able to defeat himself at the Saint Realm. Moreover, the first level of the Dao Realm, the Myriad Heavens Dao Realm Law, provides almost no boost to the physique.
In other words, if we disregard his Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force and his innate physique, his physical strength after reaching the first level of the Dao Realm would not be much stronger than when he was at the Ninth Level of Spirit Forging.
In this respect, it is indeed inferior to the Primordial System, which takes into account both spiritual and physical aspects.
Even after breaking through the first level of the Dao Realm, Zhou Xingdou felt that he still had the strength to reach a higher realm, since he had not even fully activated the Ziwei Taihuang Scripture at this moment.
However, he did not intend to continue breaking through, not because he found it troublesome, nor because his realm was not stable. On the contrary, the Heavenly Dao Realm Law had no concept of unstable cultivation, nor any distinction between the early, middle, and late stages. There was only a difference in the level of understanding and application of Dao power, and there was no other difference.
It was simply because he was afraid that his newly accepted foolish apprentice might accidentally kill himself.
At this moment, Qing Yanjing had also tidied her clothes and walked towards Zhou Xingdou, who seemed a little surprised, saying:
"The power within you seems to be slightly different from before."
In fact, it wasn't just a difference in strength; when Qing Yanjing stared at Zhou Xingdou, a strange feeling always welled up in his heart.
She discovered that Stephen Chow seemed to exude an even more captivating charm, and his temperament had become increasingly complex.
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou stood quietly on the mountaintop. His already handsome and extraordinary face no longer only had an extremely indifferent expression, but also had a touch of otherworldly charm.
The once aloof, noble, and unapproachable man now possesses a more ethereal and otherworldly aura, making him less domineering and unapproachable.
He simply stood there, yet he seemed to be the focus of the world, as if the whole world revolved around him and all things were silently protecting him.
And the world's energy and vitality seem to be attracted to him, flowing towards him in an endless stream.
Unfortunately, Zhou Xingdou's Heavenly Punishment Thunder Emperor Armor was damaged in the battle with Ling Sanqiu. Now, the divine power of the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Emperor Armor on his body is gone, which not only fails to highlight Zhou Xingdou's elegance, but also adds a flaw to this beautiful scene in Qing Yanjing's eyes.
Zhou Xingdou didn't hide anything from Qing Yanjing, and smiled slightly:
"We've developed a very interesting system."
As he spoke, Zhou Xingdou also noticed that Qing Yanjing's gaze was a bit off, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"What's wrong? Do I have flowers on me?"
Qing Yanjing frowned slightly and shook her head, saying:
"No, I just think you should change out of this tattered armor. It looks really ugly now."
Qing Yanjing's words also made Zhou Xingdou look down at his Punishing Thunder Emperor Armor, which he hadn't done in a long time. Just as Qing Yanjing said, the Punishing Thunder Emperor Armor was now extremely dark and had a large hole in the chest.
As it turns out, this precious artifact was completely damaged.
