Chapter 7: The Realm of Inspiration

  Inspiration Realm

  The Zangjing Pavilion door had been closed for a long time, and Zhou Tianchen had already waited for a long time. Finally, Zhou Yuan slowly walked out, and when Zhou Chao and Zhou Qing saw Zhou Yuan, the anger on their faces flashed by, and then they turned away, ignoring Zhou Yuan.

  "Grandpa, I've kept you waiting!!!"

  Zhou Tianchen shook his head, "No matter, it's you, I just heard the two of them say that you obtained the War God Scripture and can successfully cultivate it?"

  He nodded, "Not bad, the War God's Magic Classics automatically chose me as its master, and after destroying it, all the formulas entered my mind. As long as I carefully comprehend them, I believe I can successfully cultivate it!!"

  Zhou Tianchen was shocked, "You said, the War God's Magic Classics have been destroyed?"

  Zhou Yuan naturally knew why Zhou Tianchen was so shocked. The destruction of the War God's Magic Classics also meant that the Zhou family's destruction was not far away, this is heaven's will, and no one can stop it.

  "It's all right, Grandfather, this is fate, no one can stop it!!! And that senior will also leave the Zhou family soon!!!"

  "Senior is a superior man, able to avoid disaster and leave. His departure also means that he knows the downfall of the Zhou family is inevitable, and only by leaving can he avoid falling with them."

  "Let's go, we're going back. Since it can't be avoided, we'll just have to resign ourselves to fate!"

  Zhou Chaofan and Zhou Qing'er heard what Zhou Tianchen and Zhou Yuan said about the Zhou family being destroyed soon, but they didn't take it to heart. In their opinion, a big family like the Zhou's, with its vast and powerful existence, possessing a city, how could it be possible for it to be destroyed just by saying so? It was purely nonsense.

  Zhou Yuan didn't linger for long, bidding farewell to Zhou Tianchen before returning to his own residence. It was already nighttime, the sky had darkened, and many people had entered their rest, but not Zhou Yuan. He hastily pulled out three volumes of Lei system scriptures and carefully studied them.

  Lightning Sword Qi, Lightning Arc Light, Thunderous Sound Wave, these three techniques, Zhou Yuan had gone over them in his mind at least three times, but he just couldn't grasp the entrance, unable to enter cultivation. Zhou Yuan understood that this was because his realm wasn't high enough. Currently, he was only at the Blood Cave Realm, not even at the Spiritual Sense Realm, let alone the Technique Realm.

  Without reaching the boundary of magic, there is no yuanqi, and it is impossible to cultivate magic. Naturally, these three powerful magical classics cannot be cultivated, which is a lack of boundary, and hurry has no use.

  Zhou Yuan didn't force it either, calming his thoughts, Zhou Yuan once again entered meditation, recalling the mantra of the War God's Magic Classics, and began to carefully comprehend.

  "Huh?" Zhou Yuan's heart was filled with joy, this War God's Scripture, unexpectedly didn't resemble those three Thunder System spells, after pondering for several hours, he finally had a slight epiphany.

  "This War God Scripture, after cultivating to a high and profound realm, can actually absorb the power of others from afar, from the physical realm's vitality to the magical realm's yuan energy, it can all be absorbed. And now I can also cultivate, absorbing the vitality of Physical Realm cultivators to nourish myself and increase my own strength!!"

  Zhou Yuan was overjoyed, as if he had seen a new path of cultivation unfold before him.

  "It seems that cultivating the War God Scripture isn't very difficult, what's difficult is that this divine technique has a huge spiritual nature and has been forbidden by a superior being with great power. Unless the War God Scripture automatically chooses its master, it's impossible to obtain the cultivation method. The divine technique is bestowed upon those who are destined, indeed!!!"

  Zhou Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly entered a state of cultivation.

  "The Way of Heaven and Earth, reduces the excess and supplements the deficiency, takes itself as a mixed cave, meridians, blood flow, skin, even air and all external objects can become bridges for oneself, absorbing all beneficial essence, energy, spirit, strength and even principles to use."

  The total influx of the War God's Scripture flowed through Zhou Yuan's mind, and gradually, his cultivation made progress. He could feel that each part of his body had become his own eyes and ears, and he had also become sensitive to the strength and weakness of the surrounding forces.

  He could feel that the strongest power was in the very center of the Zhou family, and there were also several strong powers around it.

  "I've finally arrived, and that's where Grandfather is. I'll go to their residence on Sunday... I've now cultivated the War God's Scripture and have made some small progress. My entire body has become extremely sensitive, as if I've grown many more limbs. As long as I can get my attack into the enemy's body, I can forcibly plunder their energy and replenish my own. This is the true meaning of the Northern God's Technique! It's no wonder it's the most powerful technique in our Zhou family. The effect is truly extraordinary, and with this, I can dominate the world!!!"

  In a corner of the Zhou family's residence, a figure was slowly sneaking towards Zhou Yuan's dwelling.

  This man was none other than Li Shan's brother, Li Zhong, a master of the Spiritual Sense realm. He had just received news that Zhou Yuan had come out of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

  The one who brought him the news was Zhou Chaofan, who had returned with him. Since being humiliated by Zhou Yuan in the Scripture Pavilion, Zhou Chaofan had harbored a desire to kill him. However, he couldn't make a move within the Zhou Manor, or else the higher-ups would find out and even if no one would bother with him again, he wouldn't be able to bear the crime of persecuting his own kin. So he wanted to frame someone else for it.

  And this idiot is obviously Li Zhong.

  "Zhou Yuan, you killed my brother, I want your blood to pay for his life! Zhou Chaofan promised me that even if the truth comes out, he will help me beg for mercy and spare my life!!!"

  At this moment, Zhou Yuan was still quietly cultivating.

  It was midnight, the darkest hour of the night. There was no moonlight tonight, and all around was pitch black, so dark that one couldn't see their own fingers in front of them. It was the perfect time for murder or robbery.

  Zhou Yuan was still constantly practicing the War God Forbidden Technique, the first law of the Zhou family, which is said to be the number one extraordinary skill in the world. With this technique, Zhou Yuan could feel that he could transcend his current level and challenge those above him. Even if he couldn't contend with those at the Law Boundary stage, defeating a Spiritual Sense stage cultivator was still not difficult for him.

  Just then, suddenly, Zhou Yuan stopped and felt a sense of unease. The calm mind that had just been quiet in cultivation was disrupted.

  "Huh? What's going on? How did my mind suddenly become chaotic, it feels like there's a premonition in the depths of my subconscious, something unfavorable is happening to me, I don't know if it's true or false. However, this feeling is extremely good, it means I'm about to break through to the realm of inspiration!!!" Zhou Yuan stopped cultivating and prepared to rest.

  But just at this moment, the sense of crisis became even stronger. Zhou Yuan only felt that the first hair on his skin stood up. At this critical moment, Zhou Yuan suddenly jumped up and pounced out more than ten feet in an instant.

  Rumble...

  After a loud explosion, Zhou Yuan's bed, which was originally at rest, was in disarray, and a strong smell of gunpowder emanated from it.

  "Who dares to make a move on me in the Zhou Manor!!!" Zhou Yuan bellowed.

  Just then, a figure rushed in and immediately charged at Zhou Yuan, throwing a fierce punch. "You're quite formidable, Zhou Yuan! I spent a high price to obtain this Thunderclap, but it couldn't even kill you. It seems your strength has improved again. Today, no matter what, you will not escape death. Otherwise, if things continue to develop like this, even I won't be a match for you!!!"

  Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed, his spirit energy condensed into a single point, and he gritted his teeth to utter two words: "Li Zhong!!"

  The next moment, Li Zhong's fist was already in front of Zhou Yuan's eyes.

  "Boom!!!" Zhou Yuan also struck out with a punch, fist to fist, hard against hard. Zhou Yuan's rigid blow countered Li Zhong's attack and didn't budge in the slightest.

  But Li Zhong was different, he felt a surge of great power transmitted over to him, shaking his body until it was sore, an irresistible force that actually shook him back three or four steps.

  Li Zhong was shocked and pale, "What, your power is actually so strong, even I am no match for you!!!"

  A bad feeling arose in Li Zhong's heart, he felt that Zhou Yuan had come out of the ancient book and was likely to have made another breakthrough in his strength, it was very possible that his current self was no longer a match for him.

  Zhou Yuan sneered, "Li Zhong, I've just completed my divine technique and my strength has advanced. I haven't found someone to try out my skills on yet, to see how far my abilities have reached. Who would have thought that you'd come looking for death yourself?"

  "Think you can defeat me? It's not that easy. Although I'm no longer as strong as you, I'll leave when I want to, and you can't stop me."

  "Ha ha ha! Not defeat you, but KILL YOU!!!!!"

  Tap tap tap!

  Zhou Yuan took three steps forward and arrived in front of Li Zhong, suddenly breaking out with a palm strike. The speed was as fast as lightning, and in an instant, it covered Li Zhong's head.

  "You..." Li Zhong wanted to say something else, but the next moment, he couldn't say a word. A huge suction force was transmitted from Zhou Yuan's palm.

  "War! God! Demon! Scripture!" A cold and ruthless voice slowly emerged from Zhou Yuan's mouth.

  Ah...

  Li Zhong let out a painful scream, his skin appeared with a large amount of texture, constantly moving, and finally all went to the top of his head, and finally through Zhou Yuan's hand, entered Zhou Yuan's body. All of these were Li Zhong's vital energy, which was instantly absorbed by Zhou Yuan, becoming Zhou Yuan's own vital energy.

  Li Zhong's body grew weaker and his skin aged at an alarming rate, drying out instantly to resemble that of a 70 or 80 year old man on the verge of collapse.

  After dozens of breaths, Li Zhongsheng's vitality was completely gone, turning into a dry corpse. Zhou Yuan, on the other hand, was full of energy and his eyes, like stars, had a surge of essence that was about to burst out at any moment.

  His strength has been upgraded again, reaching the highest level of the Spiritual Realm and the Physical Realm.
