Eight hundred years of study

Amidst the clouds!

After the Three-Eyed Phoenix Dog Ancestor took a deep look at Zhong Qing and his group, he said to his subordinates with some fatigue, “This Old Ancestor needs to recuperate and head to the Nurturing Divine Land to nurture my Divine Soul, preparing for the grand plan five days from now.

You all must constantly monitor the movements of these people.”

“Do not let them cause any trouble!”

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone was startled.

“Farewell, Old Ancestor!”

They knew that after the Old Ancestor’s disastrous defeat at the hands of the Dust Emperor Old Man, he suffered unimaginable heavy injuries.

Had he not mastered the Divine Ability of Nirvana rebirth, he would have long since vanished into the river of history.

What’s more, he later used his own strength and Heaven-Defying means to help them resist a wave of killing tribulation, preventing them from being completely annihilated by the curse-killing technique and preserving a trace of their remnant souls, giving everyone a chance to be reborn.

Because of this, the Old Ancestor, who was already in poor condition, saw his injuries further worsen.

Over the years, even after being nurtured in the Nurturing Divine Land, his Divine Soul injuries had still not fully healed.

Furthermore, his internal maladies would occasionally flare up, plunging the Old Ancestor into extreme weakness.

This made them pay even more attention to their Old Ancestor’s commands.

Because Zhong Qing and his group were destined to become the nourishment for the Old Ancestor to heal his Divine Soul injuries after his rebirth.

At the same time.

Within the Secret Realm, Zhong Qing prepared to summon the Twelve Demon Generals and let them choose Physical Bodies.

He looked at Feng Buqun and said.

“You wait here for a moment!”

“I’ll be back soon.”

As he spoke, his body flickered, and he directly entered the Small World.

This made Feng Buqun’s heart tremble again.

If he hadn’t misjudged, his Master seemed to carry… a space with him.

At this moment, his heart was already numb.

What other trump cards and means did his Master actually possess?

Carrying a space with him, what an astonishing and shocking feat this was.

The deeper his contact with Zhong Qing, the more Feng Buqun discovered that his Master would always refresh his understanding again and again.

He always brought him the deepest shock inadvertently.

…

Inside the Small World!

Inside the Time Pagoda!

Thirteen figures were cultivating diligently under the Ancient Dao Comprehension Tree.

These were the Twelve Demon Generals and the Puppet Hei Bai.

Their Qi was magnificent, divine light occasionally rippled within their bodies, and their Qi and blood surged like rivers and seas.

Traces of Dao Qi permeated from their bodies.

Auras belonging to the Venerable Realm lingered in the surrounding Void Realm.

If an outsider were to witness this scene, it would undoubtedly cause immense shock.

The Venerable Realm, looking across the entire Shuo North of Central Continent, still belonged to high-ranking, great figures.

They were existences on the level of overlords.

And now, a total of thirteen Venerables were gathered.

If people knew that less than a year ago, they were merely in the Returning to One Realm, and even Hei Bai wasn’t even in the Returning to One Realm.

In less than a year, they had achieved the Venerable Realm; it would undoubtedly cause immense uproar.

The further one Cultivates, the more difficult it becomes.

A Breakthrough in a small Realm often takes thousands or tens of thousands of years to calculate.

To collectively Breakthrough one or more major Realms in less than a year.

This was definitely a major event that could cause a sensation.

And the reason they achieved this was largely due to the Ancient Dao Comprehension Tree.

Of course, the most important thing was the effect of the Time Pagoda; although less than a year had passed outside, eight hundred years had already passed inside the Time Pagoda.

“Twelve Demon Generals, come out and see me!”

Just then, a voice pierced through the sky and echoed in the minds of the Twelve Demon Generals.

The twelve figures moved slightly, stopping their Cultivation, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes.

“Master!”

Hearing Zhong Qing’s summons, they did not show the slightest delay.

They left the Time Pagoda at the first Opportunity.

Upon seeing him.

Outside the Time Pagoda, Zhong Qing stood by the edge of the Sea of Bitterness.

“We pay our respects, Master.”

The Twelve Demon Generals, led by Chicken One, came forward and all prostrated themselves before Zhong Qing.

“May we know what orders Master has for summoning us?”

“Now that our brothers’ strength has greatly increased, we believe we can complete Master’s orders better and faster.”

Chicken One shouted, looking utterly loyal.

Zhong Qing looked at the Twelve Demon Generals before him with satisfaction.

Although he knew beforehand that the Twelve Demons’ strength would inevitably skyrocket through Cultivation in the Time Pagoda.

He didn’t expect that everyone had now become Venerables.

This undoubtedly gave him a pleasant surprise.

He even couldn’t help but think that if he put all his Disciples under his command into the Time Pagoda for a few years of training, his Cultivation would probably soar, making it difficult to stop.

Zhong Qing kept this matter in mind, planning to arrange it upon his return.

For now, he would first deal with the matter of the Twelve Demon Generals.

He pondered for a moment, then said loudly, “When I brought you out of the Land of Fallen Demons, due to limited conditions, I could only find you Physical Bodies of poultry.”

“Now I have found a batch of new Physical Bodies for you; you can come out with me and see!”

As soon as these words were spoken!

A look of joy flashed across the faces of the Twelve Demon Generals.

For Zhong Qing, less than a year had passed.

But for them, a full eight hundred years had passed!

Undeniably, cultivating here indeed led to rapid growth in strength and Realm.

However, compared to the increase in strength, the Twelve Demon Generals were more willing to follow Zhong Qing and roam the world.

Now that Zhong Qing could find them new Physical Bodies, what did this prove?

It proved that they still held a certain weight in Zhong Qing’s heart.

This made them both surprised and delighted.

“Thank you, Master!”

One by one, they kowtowed in gratitude.

Zhong Qing nodded, then glanced at the Small World.

The Small World’s rules were now becoming more and more perfect.

On the vast land, there was a scene of vibrant life.

Behind the small courtyard, Chaos Qi churned.

Occasionally, wisps of Chaos Qi would integrate into this world.

However, now, relying solely on Chaos Qi was no longer enough to cause the Small World to undergo a transformation.

Its evolution had already reached a certain bottleneck.

Zhong Qing had a premonition that if the Small World could advance further, it would undoubtedly bring him a pleasant surprise.

However, to advance further required time and Opportunity, as well as a great Opportunity.

This was not something one could force.

He did not linger too long, and with a flash, he took the Twelve Demon Generals out of the Small World, except for Hei Bai.

He went in alone, but came out with the Twelve Demon Generals.

There were fourteen figures.

The Scarecrow had, at some unknown point, blended into the ranks of the Twelve Demon Generals.

Zhong Qing looked at the Scarecrow and chuckled, scolding him lightly.

“You fellow!”

He actually didn’t know when the other party had appeared.

The Scarecrow bowed to Zhong Qing.

Then his gaze fixated on the distance, where something seemed to be attracting him.

“Big Brother, you’ve come too!”

The Twelve Demon Generals looked at the Scarecrow, a hint of surprise appearing on their faces.

At the same time, they were somewhat eager to try something.

Previously, their strength had not yet recovered, and they were almost instantly killed by the Scarecrow’s single strike.

Now, after a period of arduous Cultivation, their strength had not only fully recovered but had even ascended several levels.

At this moment, the Twelve Demon Generals truly wanted to test whether they, in their current state, could withstand a single strike from Big Brother.

With the appearance of the Twelve Demon Generals and the Scarecrow, the originally Death Qi-filled Secret Realm instantly gained a surge of vitality.

Before a thousand-zhang Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound corpse.

Feng Buqun looked at the Twelve Demon Generals and the Scarecrow who appeared with a clatter.

He was somewhat dumbfounded.

“Master, who are they?”

As soon as these words were uttered, the Twelve Demon Generals’ gazes collectively turned to Feng Buqun.

This made the latter’s brow twitch.

Initially, he was puzzled as to why his Master would keep a group of poultry in a space.

Given his Master’s status and position, he should logically raise some precious ancient exotic beasts.

But now, as gazes converged on him.

He only felt that these seemingly insignificant poultry were terrifyingly strong.

He even had a premonition.

Any one of these poultry could easily beat him senseless.

For a moment, an inexplicable sorrow arose in Feng Buqun’s heart.

To think that he, Feng Buqun, was once an overlord-level figure.

Lording over the Jianghu for countless years.

But now, he was actually feeling a sense of crisis from a group of poultry.

This was something he found a bit hard to accept.

“Master, is this your Disciple?”

Chicken One looked at Feng Buqun, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Named Disciple!”

“In the future, if you have time, you can interact more.”

After Zhong Qing finished speaking, he said to Feng Buqun.

“They are my Twelve Demon Generals, who have followed me for a long time.

In the future, if you encounter trouble you cannot solve, you can ask them for help.”

After Zhong Qing briefly introduced the two parties.

He then said to the Twelve Demon Generals, “You all may take a look at these corpses; if there’s one you fancy, you can choose it yourself.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the few Three-Eyed Phoenix Hounds above the clouds couldn’t sit still.
