Zhou Heng finished opening fifteen Fortune Bags in one go.

Looking at the stream of reward notifications, he felt an extremely refreshing sense of satisfaction.

The feeling of being able to open Fortune Bags without spending a dime was just too good.

And the rewards were quite nice, too.

Among the items from the Copper Fortune Bags, whether it was the newly obtained martial arts ‘Undying Seal Technique’ or the Taoist formula ‘Call the Wind and Summon the Rain’, both could be said to be very practical.

The latter need not be mentioned, as it could even be used to imitate an Immortal.

Moreover, this was a Taoist formula that could directly change the weather, which greatly helped Zhou Heng comprehend the realm of Secret Sixth Rank.

The former was a nearly omnipotent martial arts technique, able to absorb an enemy’s True Qi and transform it into one’s own vitality. It resembled the Beiming Divine Skill in principle but was even more mysterious and also featured the ability to probe the enemy and cast illusion techniques to confound them.

It could be said to have combined and strengthened the essence of many of the Seventh Rank martial arts Zhou Heng had previously learned, making it even more difficult for opponents to deal with.

Thus, he decided to comprehend the ‘Undying Seal Technique’ first, feeling that there would be surprises.

“You are now comprehending the martial arts ‘Undying Seal Technique’ [Secret Sixth Rank] and find the principles within clear and familiar, with the comprehension being extremely smooth, proficiency +1.”

“Congratulations! The proficiency of the martial arts ‘Undying Seal Technique’ [Secret Sixth Rank] has reached 1, formally mastering this martial arts. Given that you have proficiency at perfection level in multiple related martial arts, gaining insights from analogous skills, proficiency +10000.”

…

“Congratulations! Since you’ve learned a high-ranked martial arts, lower-ranked similar types of martial arts ‘Beiming Divine Skill’ [Seventh Rank], ‘Fighting Stars Shifting’ [Seventh Rank], ‘Lingbo Weibu’ [Seventh Rank]… proficiency +1000.”

…

Indeed, just as Zhou Heng had predicted.

This ‘Undying Seal Technique’ allowed many of the similarly typed Seventh Rank martial arts to enjoy a proficiency bonus.

It directly helped boost Zhou Heng’s strength by a significant margin.

Moreover, he discovered that this ‘Undying Seal Technique’, being a Secret Sixth Rank martial arts, naturally possessed the ability to command the vital energy of heaven and earth.

However, the “original version” he knew of did not have this effect.

Presumably, the Fortune Bag version had undergone some modifications.

Otherwise, based on the performance of the “original” Undying Seal Technique, it likely wouldn’t reach the true level of Secret Sixth Rank.

Apart from that, a set of “Nine Yang Divine Art” also emerged from the Copper Fortune Bag, but Zhou Heng planned to cultivate it later and was not in a hurry.

After all, although this Seventh Rank inner strength was powerful, compared to the Sect Fifth Rank “Pure Yang Dan Jing,” there was still a significant gap. Even if he practiced it, it would likely only serve as a supplement to the “Pure Yang Dan Jing.”

Now, his attention was focused on the “Pregnancy Card” and the Taoist formula “Demon Binding Rope” that came from the Silver Fortune Bag.

“Pregnancy Card [Copper]: Effective on any creature below a Celestial Man, causing instant pregnancy. Within three breaths, the fetus will mature and fly out of the mother’s mouth, taking away seventy percent of the mother’s essence and spirit.”

Is there really such a thing?!

Creating a male mother on the spot??

This truly fits the description of the Fortune Bag being “all-encompassing, containing everything.”

It is indeed terrifying.

Afterward, he shifted his attention to the Taoist formula “Demon Binding Rope.”

“Taoist Formula ‘Demon Binding Rope’ [Secret Sixth Rank]: Upon reciting the incantation and casting the spell, it can bind demons, seal their powers, force them to reveal their true forms, and has a strong restraining effect on demons.”

This should be an excellent formula for capturing demons.

Unfortunately, in this era, it seems that demons have all but vanished from the world, at least within the borders of Da Qi, there have scarcely been any reports of demon troubles.

It’s like a dragon-slaying skill.

However, if there is a chance to go to other worlds in the future, it might still come in handy.

…

The next morning, Zhou Heng ended his night of cultivation and woke up from his meditative state.

Just as he was about to lead out his jujube red horse, he suddenly sensed a message left by Yan Shouyi.

“Junior Brother, the seal on Yang Fan’s wall was the handiwork of the Illusory Law Sect, and he must have been assisted by a Tao Lord of the sect to evade the Solar Divine Palace’s search.

“Now that I have captured Yang Fan, the Tao Lord of the Illusory Law Sect must have sensed it. If you encounter disciples of the Illusory Law Sect in the future, be careful not to let them confuse your mind and expose what happened last night.”

Illusory Law Sect?

Zhou Heng’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. The Illusory Law Sect was one of the ten major sects of Da Qi and had risen after the Middle Ancient Era.

Initially, the Illusory Law Sect was not very strong until after the Battle of the Heavenly Yang when its leader cultivated a Tao seed, proving himself as a Tao Lord, and finally ascended to the pinnacle of this world.

The disciples of this sect are most adept at using illusion techniques, and their actions are unpredictable. There had been quite a discussion in the martial arts world whether the Illusory Law Sect should be considered orthodox.

Latterly, the concept of evil sects and evil paths was defined by the Upper Third Rank powers, and such discussions ceased to exist.

However, regardless, the martial artists of the Illusory Law Sect are definitely one of the most difficult types of martial artists to deal with among the Lower Third Rank.

Yan Shouyi was reminding Zhou Heng to be cautious.

“In fact, if I really do encounter a master from the Illusory Law Sect, I am indeed somewhat interested to experience their illusion techniques,” Zhou Heng smiled slightly, showing a hint of amusement, “and also to verify the effectiveness of the undead seal method.”

Afterward, Zhou Heng quickly got ready, led out his jujube red horse from the stables, mounted it, and rode towards the nearest entrance to the Purple Tenuity Palace.

…

Stepping once again into the world where the Purple Tenuity Palace was located, Zhou Heng saw the bridge made of endless starlight, spanning the void and leading directly to the Purple Tenuity Palace.

Walking over this bridge, he arrived in front of the Purple Tenuity Palace, paid his respects to the Supreme Celestial Rule waiting there, and then proceeded to the Relieve Worries Hall.

This was where members of the Zhou Tian Boundary Officer received their assignments, and it was also where they refreshed mission information and collected rewards.

The Inner Circle of the Five Emperors usually oversaw this place.

When Zhou Heng arrived at the Relieve Worries Hall, he happened to see the Inner Circle of the Five Emperors organizing mission information. He stopped what he was doing and greeted Zhou Heng with a bow.

“Lord of the Stars, have you come to receive an official assignment?” the Inner Circle of the Five Emperors asked with a smile, “In Da Qi, or do you wish to go to other worlds?”

“No, I’m here to look for someone.” Zhou Heng shook his head gently and inquired, “Elder, do you know where Tian Ji has gone? There has been no news of her these days.”
