Before the Swallowed Star disaster, there was an organization on Earth called the War God Palace.

It was established by Hong in the virtual space, gathering all the warriors of Celestial Level and above from around the world. Among them were the five Speakers, the five strongest people on Earth, who held the power of the War God Palace.

The first Speaker was Hong, the second Speaker was Thunder God, the third Speaker was Mohan Desen, the fourth Speaker was East, and the fifth Speaker was Atkin.

After the battle with the Swallowed Star, Hong and Thunder God fell into a deep sleep, Mohan Desen and East were sacrificed by Luo Feng. During this time, Atkin, who had been buried in his work and never showed his face, naturally became the strongest on Earth with his Celestial Level Third Stage strength.

Atkin was different from Hong and the others. He was a person driven by greed. When the strong on Earth decreased, he secretly manipulated things, trying to bring all the forces on Earth under his control.

He himself was the offering of the HR Alliance. Not long after the Swallowed Star disaster ended, he used his power to overthrow the original Speaker of the Alliance, Isadona, and took the position of Speaker himself.

Yan Hai was also a Celestial Level warrior offered by the HR Alliance. He and Atkin were in cahoots, turning the entire HR Alliance into their private possession.

At the same time, Atkin also coveted the power and benefits of the two major martial arts schools. He recruited Mu Yajing, a high-level Celestial Level Mind Teacher from the Thunder Martial Arts School, and secretly controlled the Thunder Martial Arts School with a Mu Yajing Crystal.

He also reached out to the Extreme Martial Arts School, but the five Inspectors and three Iron Guards of the Extreme Martial Arts School were united and cut off his hand, leaving him no room to intervene.

Since then, Atkin had a brief period of stability, but he never gave up on the idea of bringing the Extreme Martial Arts School under his control and had always been paying attention to the situation there.

Xu Zong, the genius, had also heard of him.

In just one month after entering the Elite Training Camp, he surpassed all the students who had been there for four or five years and became the number one on the Black Dragon Ranking. He was a talented individual and was hailed as the next Hong.

Atkin sneered at this. How could Xu Zong reach the realm that Hong had achieved so easily? As the former fifth Speaker of the War God Palace, no one knew better than him how powerful Hong was!

In addition, he was busy taking over the HR Alliance at that time, so he didn’t pay much attention.

But in the blink of an eye, Xu Zong became a Celestial Level warrior!

After Xu Zong became a Celestial Level warrior, Sago and Yan Hai disappeared one after another.

Sago and Yan Hai were the two assistants he had chosen, and they played a great role in controlling the HR Alliance and the Thunder Martial Arts School. Losing these two people was a great loss for him.

Atkin didn’t know if Sago and Yan Hai’s disappearance was related to Xu Zong, but he didn’t care about it now. What he cared about now was the relics and treasures!

“The Martialist Basic Technique 312 Style that was put on sale by the Extreme Martial Arts School must have been obtained from the relics!”

Atkin was very envious of the treasures discovered in the relics.

He really wanted to get his hands on the Martialist Basic Technique 312 Style. For this reason, he had even negotiated with the Extreme Martial Arts School, hoping to put the Martialist Basic Technique 312 Style on sale in the HR Alliance.

If it hadn’t already been put on sale by the Extreme Martial Arts School, he would even want to snatch the ownership of this technique!

He had investigated and knew that the reason why the Extreme Martial Arts School could obtain the Martialist Basic Technique 312 Style was because of a peerless genius named Xu Zong who had passed the first test of the relics.

And this time, this Xu Zong had entered the second test of the relics and successfully passed it!

This made Atkin secretly anxious.

On the one hand, he was anxious about the huge benefits brought by these cosmic techniques, and on the other hand, he was anxious that Xu Zong, this genius, would continuously obtain the cosmic techniques in the future, and his strength and status might surpass him!

This was something Atkin absolutely could not allow!

After finally suppressing the four people who were above him, and the genius Mind Teacher Luo Feng who was unprecedented, how could he let others ride on his head?

A fierce light flashed in Atkin’s eyes as he pressed the assistant’s quick call button.

“Bring Catalan to me!”

…………

The time came to the end of May.

On this day, Xu Zong took the Purple Cold Ice Crystal as usual and swallowed it. A coldness that seemed to freeze his soul surged out from within him, but Xu Zong firmly held onto his mind and used his powerful spirit to withstand the coldness.

When the coldness subsided, Xu Zong suddenly felt that his consciousness became extremely clear, his brain was clearer than ever before, and even his thinking ability seemed to have improved a lot.

His spirit faintly connected with the world itself, and his inner self was as clear as a mirror, sweeping away all the dust.

“So this is the fourth level of meditation, the Unity of Heaven and Man?”

Xu Zong understood in his heart. He didn’t expect that with the talent of practicing without bottlenecks, he would have to eat the Purple Cold Ice Crystal and the Fiery Heart Fruit continuously for a month to break through his spiritual realm.

After achieving the Unity of Heaven and Man, Xu Zong tested it and found that his spiritual power had automatically reached the initial stage of the War God, and he could control several flying knives to confront the enemy at the same time.

The power of the gods automatically brought about the power of his spirit and consciousness.

Xu Zong swallowed the remaining Purple Cold Ice Crystal and Fiery Heart Fruit in one breath. He had gradually become accustomed to the mental training brought by these two treasures. The intensity of his consciousness after the breakthrough could no longer be shaken by these two trainings.

“I remember that it was mentioned in the original work that after reaching the Unity of Heaven and Man, if you break through a certain restraint, you can comprehend a realm!”Xu Zong sat cross-legged in the gravity chamber, deep in thought.

“Right, it’s about integrating primal energy, strength, consciousness, and mental power into one, then I can comprehend the realm!”

In a short while, he suddenly remembered something, as if he had an epiphany.

Xu Zong’s eyebrows twitched.

“Did I figure this out through deep thinking, or are my previous memories gradually surfacing?”

To clarify the answer, Xu Zong pondered for a while longer. Gradually, the memories of the original text that he had long forgotten began to surface in his mind.

“It’s now the end of May 2060, and Luo Feng won’t be back for more than a year. The Cosmic Genius Battle won’t start for another five or six years, followed by the Chaos City, the Four Great Mysteries…”

As he thought, Xu Zong furrowed his brows again.

He remembered quite a few plots, but there were many he couldn’t recall, let alone some trivial details. For instance, he had no impression of the Dream-Eroding Clan.

“If I can’t remember, then I won’t think about it. As my consciousness strength continues to increase, I’ll eventually recall everything.”

Realizing that he couldn’t remember no matter how hard he tried, Xu Zong gave up on the futile effort.

The enhancement of his mental strength had almost reached its limit. The Desolate Buddhist Scriptures were no longer of much use to Xu Zong, so he focused more on improving his physical realm and understanding of the domain.

Time gradually came to June.

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “I’ve broken through to the late stage of Gang Jin!”

Martial World General Xu Zong: “Congratulations.”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “But I tried to comprehend the Dao of Space, and I can’t seem to get started. I feel it’s not normal.”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “I remember that the Dao of Heaven and Earth in The Nine Cauldrons world doesn’t seem to include the Dao of Time and Space.”

Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Huh? (Really?)”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Haven’t you already reached the Unity of Heaven and Man? You can’t even recall that?”

Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Huh. (How long do you think I’ve lived?)”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “I see, never mind then.”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Can I still recall the past after reaching the Unity of Heaven and Man… No, if there’s no Dao of Time and Space, what should I do? Should I still try to comprehend the Dao of Space?”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “I can’t say for sure… The Dao of the Nine Provinces in the original text can indeed be divided into creation, destruction, Yin and Yang, etc., but I don’t remember it ever mentioning time and space.”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “If you’re not in a hurry, you can try again. If it really doesn’t work, then just give up.”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Alright, I’ll try again. But, I’ll only try for another nine months. If I still can’t get started after nine months, I’ll switch to another Dao!”

Martial World General Xu Zong: “Why nine months?”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “In nine months, it will be a year. I have to return to Teng Family Village to make a trade with my cousin. My cousin will cause a big stir in the next few years, and I need to break through to the Illusory Realm to withstand it.”

Martial World General Xu Zong: “I see.”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “If you want to switch to another Dao, I recommend the Dao of Five Elements. On one hand, Xingyi Quan is compatible with the Dao of Five Elements. On the other hand, in my world, the laws of the Five Elements correspond to the laws of space. I can take a detour to comprehend the laws of space.”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “I understand. Let’s talk about it in nine months! I don’t believe that with my talent without bottlenecks and the BGM of the Three-Star Cave, I can’t comprehend even a bit!”

Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Huh. (By the way, I feel that the area around Lingyun Cave has become busier recently.)”

Martial World General Xu Zong: “Could someone be looking for trouble with you? Better go out and lay low for a while, and bring back some crazy martial skills to learn!”

Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Huh. (Your intentions are too obvious. If someone really comes to trouble me, I can’t hide anywhere with my appearance.)”

Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Huh. (Recently, the animals on the mountain have been saying that there are more humans around, and they all carry sharp weapons. With so many martial artists gathering, it feels like a good show is about to start. It might be Xiong Ba and Nie Ren Wang coming to duel.)”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “Live stream it when the time comes.”

Wind & Cloud Xu Zong: “Huh. (No problem.)”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Speaking of which, why haven’t we seen any new members join the group this month?”

Martial World General Xu Zong: “Do new members usually join the group at this time every month?”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “Yes, the second, third, fourth, and fifth members of this group all joined one month apart. If we follow this pattern, a new member should have joined a couple of days ago.”

Swallowed Star Xu Zong: “We don’t understand chat groups, let’s give up.”

The Nine Cauldrons Xu Zong: “I hope the next new member will also come in ten years!”

Battle Through the Heavens Xu Zong: “Enough, you’ve gone too far!”

A few days later, the hospital called. Little Uncle Xu Qi could be discharged.
