Stephen Chow didn't answer, but the fake smile on his face spoke volumes.
Tianjizi asked no further questions, picked up his teacup, and waved his sleeve to clear the tea table.
"Zhou Dahuan, we had a very pleasant chat today."
Stephen Chow smiled and nodded in agreement:
Me too.
Despite some unpleasantness, today's peaceful conversation with Tianjizi did indeed provide him with a lot of information and helped him solve an extremely important problem.
Tianjizi was not at a loss. Although Zhou Xingdou only answered with the word "past," the information contained in those two words was more important to Tianjizi than anything else he had said.
Tianjizi stood up, drank the yellow liquid in his teacup in one gulp, and as the teacup disappeared, he earnestly addressed Zhou Xingdou as if making a heartfelt conversation:
“Zhou Dahuan, sometimes I feel sorry for you. You were born into a privileged life, lived a cautious life, yet died at the hands of a treacherous villain. You never met a good teacher or friend, and no one answered your questions…”
But before Zhou Xingdou could speak, Tianjizi changed the subject:
"But you are equally hateful. Despite your own strength, you insist on relying on others, causing the tragic deaths of those around you and forcing your grandfather to sacrifice the Great Unity to erase that terrible future for you."
"You still insist on going down this path against the will of Heaven, harming not only those around you but also all living beings!"
It must be said that Tianjizi's words struck a nerve with Stephen Chow, leaving him speechless for a moment without rebuttal.
The celestial music resonated deeply within Zhou Xingdou's soul:
"I might as well tell you that in a month I will bring great power to destroy the Star Heaven Alliance, and all of this is because of you."
After saying this, Tianjizi chuckled, dispersed the projection, and disappeared, leaving only his last words:
"If you realize your mistake and return to the right path, you may come to the Taiyi Dao Domain."
After Tianjizi left, Princess Iron Fan, Fahai, and Yuan Tian immediately went forward to check on Zhou Xingdou's condition.
Seeing Zhou Xingdou lost in thought, Yuan Tian quickly said:
"Young Master, this Tianjizi is using heretical words to deceive you, do not fall for it!"
They couldn't overhear Zhou Xingdou's conversation with Tianjizi, but the last sentence, "Returning from the wrong path," wasn't deliberately obscured, making Yuan Tian feel that Tianjizi must have uttered some heretical words.
Princess Iron Fan looked at Zhou Xingdou with some nervousness, tugging at his hand, trying to bring him out of his daze.
Fahai then began chanting scriptures, intending to purify Zhou Xingdou's mind.
But then, Zhou Xingdou suddenly burst into laughter, looking at Princess Iron Fan and the others as if nothing had happened, and said:
"I'm fine. I was just thinking how funny it would be if that projection returned to Tianjizi and he knew he had drunk dog urine."
Yuan Tiangang's relaxed heart immediately jumped again:
"What! Young Master gave Tianjizi dog urine to drink?"
Even though Yuan Tian now possesses the cultivation of a half-emperor, the thought of being forced to drink dog urine still sent a shiver down his spine.
Princess Iron Fan was secretly pleased to see that Zhou Xingdou ignored her.
"Our lord is too clever; it's time for this old dog to drink..."
But when the word "dog" was mentioned, Princess Iron Fan blushed, and found it difficult to utter the vulgar words.
But Fahai showed little joy, instead asking with concern:
"My lord, Tianjizi's visit here must not be just to have a chat with you."
Zhou Xingdou nodded, looking towards the spot where Tianjizi had disappeared, his eyes flashing with light and shadow amidst the surging purple energy:
"He came here to lay the groundwork for destroying my spirit."
Tianjizi wouldn't answer his questions so easily; it was all just a prelude. He positioned himself as Zhou Xingdou's mentor and friend, answering all his questions and even frankly revealing his background.
All of this was done to set the stage for those last two sentences.
Pitiful and hateful.
If it were in the past, I probably would have really fallen for such hurtful words and let Tianjizi's two sentences disturb my peace of mind.
Unfortunately, since the calamity of the Four Heavenly Sacred Realms, he is no longer the person he once was.
However, his words did work. Just now, Zhou Xingdou said that he was distracted by the scene of Tianjizi drinking dog urine, but that was not actually the case.
He thought a lot in that moment, but eventually felt relieved.
Tianjizi was simply saying that he had been pushed around his whole life and had no right to control his own destiny.
But in Zhou Xingdou's view, his fate was in his own hands.
Grandpa sacrificed the Great Unification to pave the way for his own path, but he never truly interfered with his own destiny.
Even though he was hopeless in his previous life, his grandfather still made him keep going until he died, and only then did he set things right. Even if it meant sacrificing his own great unity, his grandfather gave him this second chance.
The Zhou family has never controlled their own destiny; Zhou Xingdou's path has always been his own choice.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xingdou summoned Tianjizi's panel again:
...
[Name]: Tianjizi
【fate】:
[Strength]: Peak Six-Star - Peak Seven-Star
[Identity]: Incarnation of the Heavenly Dao
......
Looking at the strength section, Zhou Xingdou muttered to himself:
"Is his strength fluctuating between the peak of six stars and the peak of seven stars?"
Six stars represent the power of an emperor, while seven stars represent power above that of an emperor.
Stephen Chow was puzzled:
"Or is it that he only has the strength of a peak six-star, but can unleash the power of a peak seven-star?"
Zhou Xingdou clenched his fist slightly, causing the void to tremble. He then opened his palm, and the immense power of all the stars in the heavens was now contained within it.
"So, the power of the full revival of the celestial stars is equivalent to that of the Seven Stars."
When he fought Tianjizi, he fully unleashed the power of the myriad stars in the heavens. Although he couldn't kill Tianjizi, he still caused him considerable damage.
The power of the stars in the heavens has been fully restored. Even if it is not as high as the peak of the Seven Stars, it is probably not far off. He is not afraid of Tianjizi personally.
What he truly fears is the Heavenly Dao behind Tianjizi. It is clear that the current incarnation of the Heavenly Dao of Tianjizi, his true self, which is the Heavenly Dao itself, is the most difficult existence to deal with.
Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch.
At this moment, in a mysterious and unpredictable pavilion outlined by endless ancient runes in the Taiyi Dao Domain, Tianjizi suddenly opened his Bagua eyes, which contained endless immortal light, and his aura bloomed without end.
Meanwhile, another man dressed as a scholar was waiting in the attic. Seeing Tianjizi open his eyes, he immediately asked:
Did the senior succeed?
Tianjizi neither nodded nor shook his head, but simply said calmly:
"He cannot surrender easily. My trip is a test, and also a prelude to the next plan."
The scholar sighed, but then unfolded his folding fan and said with a smile:
"Now, half of the entities within the forbidden areas have agreed to help, and I've also made some unexpected gains..."
"What did you gain?"
Tianjizi slightly raised his eyes and waved his hand to draw the wisp of will that had traveled a great distance back into his body.
But before the scholar could answer, Tianjizi felt a sour, foul odor rise in his mouth.
This suddenly enraged Tianjizi:
"Aaaaaah! You brat! How dare you insult me!!!"
