On the Avenue.

Chapter 498 Testing
At dawn, Zhong Wuwang opened his eyes, lay on his back on the ground, motionless.

His eyes were lifeless. After a long moment, his eyeballs moved. He sat up woodenly, looking dazed.

Zhong Wuwang sat there for a long time before he staggered to his feet. He raised his hand and touched his head, feeling a trace of blood between his eyebrows.

Zhong Wuwang repeatedly stared at the bloodstain between his eyebrows, trying hard to recall, only to feel a splitting headache.

"I'm injured."

He identified the direction, and after a moment he remembered the road and walked towards the Slope of Despair.

Wen Wu Yu followed his master Taoist Qing Heng to Yingxian Tower, preparing to return to Despair Hill.

The divine eyes of the Heavenly Dao from upstairs scanned their surroundings, and Wen Wuyu asked, "Master, has the eldest brother really become an immortal?"

Taoist Qingheng smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Even the Heavenly Venerable was alarmed, how could it be false? The Heavenly Venerable said that he is the number one in the new immortal way and has a promising future."

Wen Wu Yu said: "I heard that there are several cultivators who have passed the tribulation before Senior Brother. How come Senior Brother is the number one in the immortal way?"

Taoist Qingheng said, "Those few people have transcended the tribulation, but have not yet merged into the Dao. Wuwang is the first to merge into the Dao. Also, don't call him Big Brother anymore. He is already an immortal. You should call him Uncle Master. No, call him Uncle Master."

Wen Wuyu curled her lips, feeling somewhat unwilling. She and Zhong Wuwang entered the Slope of Despair at about the same time, but she did not expect that Zhong Wuwang was already a new immortal, while she was still in the realm of spiritual cultivation.

At this moment, a figure came into her sight.

"Brother Wuwang!"

Wen Wu Yu was surprised and quickly changed his words, "Uncle Wuwang."

Taoist Qingheng also saw Zhong Wuwang and said with a smile: "Brother Wuwang, Qingheng is polite. Congratulations to you on achieving the state of harmony with the Tao and cultivating into the immortal realm!"

Zhong Wuwang walked past them in a daze, as if he didn't hear their words. The light from the eyes of the God of Heaven in Yingxian Tower shone all over Zhong Wuwang, but Zhong Wuwang did not stop and walked straight through the light curtain.

Fortunately, the divine eyes of heaven had already identified his true identity and did not stop him.

Wen Wu Yu was stunned. He saw that there was nothing behind Zhong Wu Wang's head, except for a hole the size of a fist.

Taoist Qingheng also saw the wound on the back of his head and was shocked. If it were them, they would have died long ago with such injuries. Unexpectedly, Zhong Wuwang could still walk and go home.

"Who hurt him like this?"

A moment later, all the Heavenly Dao Walkers and Heavenly Dao Immortals from the Hill of Despair gathered around Zhong Wuwang, looking at the big hole behind his head and frowning.

At this time, Tianzun hurried over, and was shocked when he saw Zhong Wuwang. He quickly came behind Zhong Wuwang and looked at the big hole. He saw many strange witchcraft and Taoist patterns intertwined on the surface of the big hole, repairing his damaged brain bit by bit.

It's a miracle that Zhong Wuwang survived!
Gong Wanqing said, "Tianzun, Wuwang was seriously injured, but he practiced a method of immortality, which saved his life. Most of his brain was destroyed, and he can only remember some simple things. We just asked him if he recognized us. He could call out the names of some people, but not others."

"Wuwang, do you know who I am?" Tianzun asked kindly.

Zhong Wuwang looked at him blankly, and moved his lips: "Tianzun."

Tianzun asked: "Do you know who hurt you like this?"

Zhong Wuwang tried hard to recall, but suddenly he held his head and hoarsely said, "I can't remember! My head hurts!"

Tianzun frowned slightly and sighed, "Poor child."

Gong Wanqing asked: "Tianzun, can he still remember the past?"

Tianzun shook his head: "His brain is destroyed. Even if this magic can restore his brain, I am afraid his memory will not be restored. Who on earth killed the genius of Despair Hill?"

He sighed endlessly, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Where is Immortal Kou? Wuwang, didn't Immortal Kou go to look for you?"

Zhong Wuwang was so confused and stupid that he couldn't remember anything.

Tianzun's expression changed slightly, and he shouted hurriedly: "Go and check on Fellow Daoist Kou's life lamp!"

Gong Wanqing flew away first. After a moment, she flew back in a hurry with a pale face and shook her head, saying, "The life lamp of Immortal Kou has gone out."

Tianzun was heartbroken.

Everyone was filled with grief and anger. Someone asked in a trembling voice, "Who killed Immortal Kou?"

"The person who killed Daoist Kou and the person who injured Wuwang must be the same person."

Tianzun suppressed his grief and said, "But he didn't expect that Wuwang would actually practice the immortal method. In this world, there is only one person who has such strength, and that is the Demon King of the Demon City."

The people at Despair Hill were furious and were ready to rush out in full force to search the Demon City and avenge Kou Xianren and Zhong Wuwang.

Tianzun said loudly: "Everyone, let's take a long-term view!"

Everyone gradually calmed down. Gong Wanqing said, "Now Immortal Ping and Immortal Xi have led the masters of our Despair Slope to support Fellow Daoist Feng. The Queen Mother Hou Tu is also ready to make a move. We at Despair Slope must not lose our composure."

Fairy Qiu Ning nodded: "That's right! The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. If we lose our composure, we will only suffer greater losses! Everything is up to the Heavenly Lord!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Tianzun, who was the backbone of Despair Hill.

Tianzun said in a deep voice: "The most urgent task is to activate the Qiankun Reconstruction Furnace to create heavenly soldiers. On the other hand, monitor the world and search for the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor. And Wuwang, let him stay in my Tianyuan Palace and heal his wounds."

Everyone was filled with awe and immediately went to start the Qiankun Rebuilding Furnace.

The Qiankun Recreating Furnace is a monster from the Dark Sea. It is a treasure that it carries on its back when it attacks Xiniu Xinzhou. While the monster is fighting hard, horrible monsters jump out of the furnace and rush in from all directions like a tide, fighting desperately with the human monks.

After this treasure fell into the Hill of Despair, the immortals of the Hill of Despair realized that this huge furnace was absolutely an incredible and powerful immortal weapon!
They have been studying the Qiankun Re-Creation Furnace over the years and have discovered various uses for it, and creating the Heavenly Listener is one of them.

Another function is that this furnace can create heavenly soldiers.

The so-called heavenly soldiers are creations that imitate the form of immortals. They have no human emotions, are specifically responsible for fighting, and their combat power is extremely amazing!
The consumption of using the Qiankun Re-creation Furnace to create the Heavenly Listeners is not large, but the consumption of creating Heavenly Soldiers is extremely large. It requires Heavenly Walkers and Heavenly Immortals to activate this treasure day and night, and it takes more than a hundred days to refine one furnace.

When Gong Wanqing and others started the Qiankun Re-Creation Furnace, Tianzun brought Zhong Wuwang back to Tianyuan Palace.

Zhong Wuwang was stupid and foolish, with drooling from his mouth. He would do whatever Tianzun asked him to do. Even if he asked him to lie on the ground and bark like a dog, he would do it.

"poor child."

Tianzun came behind his head, stretched out a finger and inserted it into the big hole behind his head.

Zhong Wuwang still stood there stupidly, without any resistance. Tianzun retracted his finger, his eyes flickered, and said, "Poor thing."

He no longer paid attention to Zhong Wuwang, and continued to sit in meditation to cultivate his eyebrow vertical eye. He had already used the Qiankun Rejuvenation Art to grow eyes, but the Qiankun Rejuvenation Art was a skill learned from the Qiankun Rejuvenation Furnace, and its repair ability was far inferior to the Immortal Art.

The Immortal Technique can even regenerate one after death, but the Rejuvenation Technique cannot do that.

Zhong Wuwang ate, drank, defecated, urinated and slept in the palace. The back of his head gradually healed, his brain regenerated, and his injuries became less and less severe.

After more than ten days, he finally recovered and treated people well, and was no longer foolish, but he had forgotten many memories. Tianzun carefully inquired about his origins, and he only remembered some things from his childhood.

Tianzun then told him about his experiences over the years and said with a smile, "You are already an immortal who has achieved the Dao, and you hold an extraordinary position in the Hill of Despair."

That day, Zhong Wuwang was sitting by the fish pond in a daze when a voice came from behind him: "Wuwang."

Zhong Wuwang turned around and saw Immortal Kou standing behind him with blood all over his face.

Zhong Wuwang was startled and hurriedly took precautions, but his mind went blank. He had completely forgotten all the magic he had learned before, and screamed, "Who are you? Why are you covered in blood? Heavenly Lord! Heavenly Lord!"

He shouted in panic, but no one answered.

Immortal Kou carefully observed his every move and every word, and suddenly laughed, "Wuwang, you recognized me, right? You recognized me, you know who I am. Come on, tell me your guess, let me see if it's correct."

Zhong Wuwang ran out in panic, shouting, "Who are you? What did you do to Tianzun?"

He was not paying attention and almost bumped into the oncoming Tianzun. He stopped and shouted, "Tianzun, there was a bloody weirdo just now... Hey, where is he?"

He looked back, but there was no sign of Immortal Kou.

Tianzun looked at him with a smile, observing his words and actions, and suddenly laughed: "Wuwang, you must have had a mental demon when you were practicing just now, and you had hallucinations. Now you are fine."

Zhong Wuwang gradually calmed down.

Tianzun smiled and said, "Since your injury has healed, you don't need to live in my Tianyuan Palace anymore. Go back to your Tiandao Peak. Your disciple Fang Xiu is still waiting for you there."

Zhong Wuwang said yes and walked out.

Tianzun watched him walk away, his eyes flickering. After a while, Zhong Wuwang turned back and said shyly: "Tianzun, there are many peaks outside, which one is my Tiandao Peak?"

Tianzun laughed and said, "I am old and confused, and forgot to tell you. Your Tiandao Peak is called Changming, and it is the seventh Tiandao Peak. There is a huge pearl on the top of the peak, which shines brightly."

Zhong Wuwang went there happily.

Not long after, he found Changming Peak and came to Changming Palace, where he saw a five or six-year-old child running out of the palace. Seeing him, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, I heard that something happened to you. I was so worried that I couldn't eat or drink these days. Is you okay?"

Zhong Wuwang scratched his head and said with a smile: "Are you my disciple Fang Xiu? I should be fine now."

The child raised his head in astonishment: "Master, I am Fang Zhenxiu, not Fang Xiu."

Zhong Wuwang scratched his head again and said, "The Heavenly Master said you are Fang Xiu. Did I hear it wrong? Never mind. You must be Fang Zhenxiu. Do you know what technique I practiced before? Can you teach me?"

Fang Zhenxiu was stunned.

In the valley behind them, a giant ear slowly turned into soil.

In the distance, Tianzun retracted his gaze and whispered, "It seems that the immortal magic cannot restore memory. I can rest assured now."

Fang Zhenxiu taught Zhong Wuwang how to practice in Changming Palace. Zhong Wuwang treated him well and taught him immortal techniques when he was building his foundation, but Fang Zhenxiu was young after all and his understanding of these techniques was very superficial, so he could not teach Zhong Wuwang much.

"Master, I will take you to the Taoist Temple!" He remembered that there were various kinds of martial arts in the Taoist Temple, and said hurriedly.

The master and his disciple came to the Taoist Temple and read various books.

Fang Zhenxiu read and practiced with him. After a few days, Zhong Wuwang read through the exercises he had read before and said, "Zhenxiu, let's go out and practice for a while."

Fang Zhenxiu said yes, and said: "Master, you have just learned all kinds of skills. If you don't understand something, please ask me. If I know the answer, I will answer it for you."

The master and disciple left the Hill of Despair. Zhong Wuwang studied the martial arts and magical powers along the way, chatting and laughing with Fang Zhenxiu. Gradually, his cultivation strength surpassed Fang Zhenxiu.

Before they knew it, the master and disciple arrived in Tianyu County, Northern Alliance Province.

Suddenly, a teacher stopped the two of them and asked with a smile, "Zhong Wuwang, why did you come to Tianyu County?"

Zhong Wuwang asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

The teacher was surprised and asked, "I am Yang Bi, don't you remember me?"

Fang Zhenxiu apologized, "Uncle Yang, my master's brain was damaged by a beating. He doesn't remember anything."

"Did you break your brain?"

Yang Bi walked around Zhong Wuwang twice and said with a smile, "Did you really damage your brain? It seems that Brother Zhong's understanding of the immortal method is not as thorough as mine."

Zhong Wuwang smiled and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. I don't know what the immortal method is."

Yang Bi smiled and said, "The Heavenly Master found you? Let me guess. The Heavenly Master must have killed you, and you used the Immortal Technique to revive. Your brain was injured, right? You lost your memory when you revived, and returned to Despair Hill by instinct. If you had any memories at that time, you would have run as far as possible, so you must have lost your memory at that time. But when you used the Immortal Technique to restore your brain, your memories came with it. The Heavenly Master must have kept you by his side, observing you, and testing you, and you pretended that you had not restored your memory to deceive him. Brother Zhong, am I right?"

Zhong Wuwang was confused and said, "I don't know what you are talking about, but it seems very interesting. However, these are just your guesses, right? You don't know whether the Immortal Technique can restore memory, after all, you have never died."

Yang Pil stared into his eyes: "But I know Wu Qi died."

Zhong Wuwang raised his eyebrows.

Yang Bi said: "Wu Qi is left with only his bones. When the flesh and blood on the moon controlled by Tianzun attacked, he still knew to block the attack. This shows that the immortal magic can restore memory!"

Zhong Wuwang was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "My father is a gambler. Every time he lost all his money and came home to look for the money my mother earned from work, he would always force me to tell him where the money was hidden. Since then, I have learned to lie."

He touched Fang Zhenxiu's little head and said with a smile: "I'm a better liar than him."

Yang Bi took a breath and said, "So, the culprit is really Tianzun!"

Zhong Wuwang said: "Yang Bi, I need to see Chen Shi!"
