Zhou Xingdou did not waste the time that followed. The Desolate Heaven Empress was busy managing the Desolate Heaven Dynasty, while Xiao Tianzuo went out to train with Luo Bailian. Qing Yanjing was still thinking about how to make the formation of the Desolate Heaven City surpass the quasi-emperor level.
Therefore, Zhou Xingdou chose to continue his secluded cultivation. Even though he had not been at the eighth level of the Dao Realm for very long, it did not affect whether he could break through.
The ninth level of the Dao Realm is called the Great Dao Golden Core.
Although they are both called Golden Core, this is different from the Golden Core stage in the cultivation system, or even completely different, with countless hurdles between them.
The key is the Great Dao, while the Golden Elixir is merely a byproduct.
This first level is about establishing one's own path. There are three thousand great paths; how should one walk them, and which path should one take?
It can also be understood as a summary of one's own strengths and abilities.
Zhou Xingdou has touched upon many paths, including the Great Dao of Thunder, the Great Dao of Stars, the Great Dao of Power, and so on.
Even though he is now using his mind to do everything and has countless thoughts running through his head, he is still completely clueless about this situation.
Summarizing oneself and establishing one's principles sounds simple, but it is indeed very difficult to do.
If he were to follow a particular path, he could immediately break through to the Golden Core stage. However, in that case, he would have to make choices. For example, if he chose the Path of Thunder, he would have to give up the others.
This is not something Stephen Chow can accept.
If one does not wish to abandon other paths, one must summarize one's own path and existing paths to forge a new one.
Opening up new paths is incredibly difficult. Even though the Ziwei Taihuang Scripture now governs everything within itself, truly integrating them is not so simple.
At this point, what's needed isn't talent, but rather comprehension.
At this moment, Zhou Xingdou couldn't help but envy his disciple's comprehension. After all, if Xiao Tianzuo were to reach this level, this step would probably be much simpler for him than for himself.
Even after three days, Zhou Xingdou still hadn't found anything, and the more he tried to figure it out, the more confused he became, causing him a terrible headache.
Zhou Xingdou then opened his eyes again and sighed slightly. It seemed that he was too confident. Based on his own understanding, he could not expect to break through to the ninth level of the Dao Realm in the short term.
It's almost useless to try to comprehend it now, so Zhou Xingdou chose to stop cultivating and instead opened the system warehouse.
He had previously obtained a Supreme War Slave but hadn't yet drawn it; he was originally planning to wait until he returned to the Primordial Era.
But now that I think about it, even a supreme-level battle slave wouldn't be of much use to me anymore, so it wouldn't matter if I didn't take him with me when the time came.
Moreover, he felt that his luck had been pretty good lately, and maybe he could draw a good character?
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingdou no longer hesitated. Although the system was searching for the Primordial World, it did not affect his ability to summon the Supreme War Slave.
With a thought, a magnificent light screen connecting all the heavens and myriad worlds appeared before Zhou Xingdou, upon which figures, some majestic and some weak, constantly shifted.
Zhou Xingdou carefully observed the light screen and found that it was no different from the one he used when he used the Holy Realm War Slave, except that its aura was stronger than before.
Just as Zhou Xingdou was observing the details of the light screen, the constantly changing figure within the light screen froze instantly.
Zhou Xingdou hurriedly looked into it and saw an extremely imposing figure appear in the middle of the light screen, which made him somewhat disappointed, because the figure was a man.
But when the light faded and the details of the figure were revealed, Zhou Xingdou raised an eyebrow.
It was a majestic figure clad in chainmail, with an extremely fierce face, exuding an imposing aura without anger, wielding a pair of ornate axes, looking incredibly imposing.
...
【War Slave】: Giant Spirit God
[Realm]: Perfect Creator (+)
[Identity]: Vanguard General
...
Giant Spirit God!
The moment Zhou Xingdou saw the panel, his disappointment vanished, and he looked at the Giant Spirit God with amusement.
Although this giant spirit god was beaten every day in Journey to the West, his existence cannot be ignored.
A famous deity who could withstand a single blow from Sun Wukong at the height of his invincible power and survive was already an extremely extraordinary being.
Moreover, he was very lucky, directly drawing the highest realm of Supreme War Slave, the perfect cultivation of Creation Venerable, without having spent any luck points to specify the realm.
However, Zhou Xingdou also noticed that in the realm column of the War Slave panel, after the Creation Venerable realm reached perfection, there was a plus sign.
"Can it be improved?"
Zhou Xingdou's eyes flashed. If the Creation Venerable is at the peak and then improves further, wouldn't that be the Quasi-Emperor realm?
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Zhou Xingdou clicked the plus sign, and instantly the system notification sounded:
[Ding! Unlocking the first shackle of the Giant Spirit God requires Luck Points. Host, do you wish to unlock it?]
shackles?
Zhou Xingdou instantly understood that this was not to enhance the strength of the battle slave, but rather that the battle slave's strength had surpassed the peak of the Creation Venerable realm, so the shackles had been unlocked, and the strength would increase once the shackles were removed.
However, this also made Stephen Chow somewhat curious:
"How many shackles does the Giant Spirit God have, and what level of power can he achieve once they are removed?"
[Ding! The Giant Spirit God has three shackles. Unlocking the first shackle will grant him the strength of the fourth transformation of a Quasi-Emperor, and his personal weapon will also be unlocked into a Quasi-Emperor weapon. If all three shackles are unlocked, he should have the peak of the Six-Star level, which is equivalent to the strength of an Emperor.]
Trading 50,000 for a Quasi-Emperor is something that requires almost no hesitation, because even the price of a Supreme War Slave in the Luck Value Shop is already a staggering 100,000 Luck Values.
This 50,000 is practically free.
So Zhou Xingdou agreed without hesitation. A flash of white light appeared on the screen, and his luck value dropped to 18,800. The realm column of the Giant Spirit God War Slave panel also instantly changed to Quasi-Emperor Fourth Transformation, but the plus sign still did not disappear.
Zhou Xingdou did not rush to summon it, but continued to tap the plus sign. Although he did not have much luck value at the moment, he still wanted to know how much luck value was needed to unlock the second shackle.
The system notification sounded again the moment Zhou Xingdou clicked the button:
[Ding! Unlocking the first shackle of the Giant Spirit God requires Luck Points. After unlocking, the Giant Spirit God will reach the peak of Quasi-Emperor. Host, would you like to unlock it?]
Ten thousand luck points isn't a lot, but unfortunately, Stephen Chow doesn't have any right now.
But this was just an experiment, so Zhou Xingdou immediately summoned the Giant Spirit God.
Buzz!
A beam of primordial light condensed before Zhou Xingdou, and in an instant, the colossal spirit god, as majestic and towering as a small mountain, appeared before him.
Boom!
The giant god knelt down, causing the palace to shake, followed by an extremely loud and rough sound:
"This humble general, Giant Spirit God, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
Zhou Xingdou smiled slightly and reopened the Giant Spirit God's War Slave panel, only to find that the plus sign on it had not disappeared.
This put his mind at ease. He was worried that the option to unlock the shackles would disappear after the summoning was completed. Now it seems that it has nothing to do with whether or not the summoning is completed, but rather it is a function that only appears when the system and he reach a certain point.
