Enlightenment begins with covering the sky

"The third Nirvana has been completed, but this should be the ultimate!"

Zhou Tong also sighed. He knew that this had reached his current limit. The third nirvana was very extreme and very thrilling; if he did it again, it would definitely be useless.

Fortunately, after the third Nirvana, the time that the spiritual body can persist has been extended to three years.

"After the third nirvana, my phoenix spiritual body can last for three years; in three years, I will definitely have to take the last step! And the most important thing is... I don't dare to survive the tribulation for the time being!"

Zhou Tong sighed softly, the current state of his Phoenix Spirit Body was very embarrassing.

He carries the Immortal Fire on his body. If he goes through his Dragon Transformation Tribulation at this time, it might turn into the most terrifying Great Emperor Tribulation. Even if it's not a great emperor's tribulation, it's at least a quasi-emperor's tribulation.

Once such a disaster occurs, there will be no life or death.

"It's easy to handle things without overcoming the tribulation. If you must overcome the tribulation, you have to carve the Heaven-Deceiving Formation pattern!" Zhou Tong said silently in his heart.

The Heaven-Deceiving Formation, this kind of formation has a wide range of uses. Every great emperor knows this kind of formation, otherwise once they overcome the tribulation, many innocent lives will be implicated.

With a thought in his mind, Zhou Tong directly took his phoenix spirit body back into the ten-hole god ring.

At the same time, his spiritual thoughts spread to the past again and became one with the Phoenix spiritual body.

This time the fairy fire did not burn along with the spiritual thoughts, because it first had to burn out Zhou Tong, the phoenix spiritual body, before it could have enough energy to burn Zhou Tong's spiritual thoughts.

"Buzz!"

At the moment when Zhou Tong's spiritual consciousness and the Phoenix spiritual body were connected, Zhou Tong was suddenly shocked, and an extremely mysterious feeling was transmitted from the Phoenix spiritual body.

After three consecutive nirvanas, the Phoenix Spirit Body had an unprecedented understanding of the ultimate meaning of "Phoenix Nirvana"; this connection also successfully conveyed these insights to Zhou Tong.

"I see... This is the true meaning of Phoenix Nirvana!!" Almost instantly, the realization was like an initiation, quickly integrated into Zhou Tong's heart.

This is Zhou Tong's own perception, so there is no conflict at all when fused, and it is extremely fast.

"If I had this kind of realization before, I'm afraid I would be able to cultivate into a divine form!" Zhou Tong also sighed in his heart.

Each divine form is more difficult to practice than the last.

After cultivating the first divine form, the difficulty of cultivating the second divine form will be at least ten times more difficult, and the cultivation of the third divine form will be at least a hundred times more difficult than the first one.

Otherwise, why would other monks be able to cultivate only one divine form until they die?

Even Ye Fan in the original work only had the "Golden Tai Chi Circle" divine form when he attained enlightenment and failed to cultivate a second one. Of course, it was this divine form that made Ye Fanneng not go as crazy as a human demon when he was practicing in Taiyin and Taiyang.

In the entire universe, Cangtian Hegemony is the only one who can successfully cultivate multiple divine forms due to his special physique and is not affected by the tenfold increase in difficulty.

But even the Cangtian Hegemony needs to be cultivated in advance when the Cangtian Hegemony's physique reaches a certain level and the prototype of the next god's form is born.

"I don’t know when the prototype of my next divine form will be conceived. Maybe in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm? The next divine form may be the Immortal Phoenix Divine Form. Maybe this divine form can make my Immortal Phoenix The spiritual body has survived the critical calamity." Zhou Tong also made a rough estimate in his mind.

"Counting the time, it's almost time to leave!"

Zhou Tong said, and then glanced at Ye Fan aside, suddenly stunned.

It turned out that during the more than a month that he was studying the Phoenix Spirit Body, Ye Fan did not just watch from the sidelines, but had already fallen into his own practice.

"It seems... he is breaking through to the other side!" Zhou Tong took one last look and then shook his head.

Zhou Tong walked to the boundary between the ninth and tenth floors of the Fire Realm, looked at the nine-color flames in front of him, and said: "I took away the Immortal Fire. I'm afraid this Fire Realm will disappear after another two or three hundred years at most. Already..."

"By the way, I remember that there was a Crow Taoist who was refining weapons on the eighth floor before. I'm afraid he must have failed because of what I did!" Zhou Tong suddenly thought of something and immediately walked towards the eighth floor of the Fire Realm.

Soon, he came to the place where Lord Crow failed to refine the weapon. Sure enough, there were a few pieces of divine iron that remained after the weapon refining failed. The divine iron was as white and flawless as mutton-fat white jade.

"Muet fat, jade and iron, this is the material for refining the king's divine weapon. Unfortunately, the divine spirit has dispersed. Now, at most, we can only refine half-step powerful weapons..." Zhou Tong walked into the cave and saw a large A lump of divine iron.

"Well, it is enough to refine a half-step high-level weapon. The most important thing is that it is very good to use it as a material to refine the sky-defying formation pattern!" Zhou Tong then put away the big lump of divine iron. Then he walked back to the ninth level of the Fire Domain.

This large lump of divine iron melted rapidly in the nine-color divine flames, and then the ten-hole divine ring around Zhou Tong turned slightly. Suddenly, the melted divine iron directly turned into a divine ring, and Zhou Tong continued to float in the void. Carving on the ground, one Dao pattern after another quickly integrated into this divine ring.

Finally, with a sonorous sound, another thing similar to a diamond was formed.

"Yes, although this piece of divine iron is useless, the good thing is that it is large in size. It can not only engrave the sky-defying array pattern, but also the concealment array pattern and the fire-resistant array pattern..." Zhou Tong is very satisfied, this thing is for him. It is refined from the phoenix spirit body, so the requirements for fire resistance are relatively high.

"Buzz!"

The ten-hole divine ring turned slightly, and suddenly a ray of light flew out and took the divine ring in. Finally, with a "clang" sound, the divine ring was directly placed around the neck of the Phoenix spirit body.

"For at least three years, I won't have to worry about the catastrophe caused by the Phoenix spirit body!"

"Next, we need to refine some formations and carve the sky-defying formation pattern!" Zhou Tong then picked up some other mutton-fat jade and iron fragments and started refining them.

At the same time, on the other side——

Ye Fan suddenly opened his eyes, with a look of ecstasy in his eyes.

Finally broke through to the other side!

"brush!"

The Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron appeared silently outside his body, and Ye Fan activated the cauldron.

"boom!"

The tripod did not have any brilliance soaring into the sky, and flew directly not far away. When it touched a boulder more than ten meters high, the sky was filled with ashes, and the boulder was silently annihilated.

With just a slight shock, everything shattered and turned into dust.

"My tripod has not yet derived the Dao pattern, but it is so powerful, haha!!" In excitement, Ye Fan couldn't help but laugh. He stood up and kept experimenting with his tripod.

"Hey, that's not right!"

Suddenly Ye Fan stopped, he was dumbfounded: "What the hell, where is Zhou Tong? Where are you? Damn it, if you throw me here, how can I get out?"
