The divine manifestations began at the Gongwei Division.

A caravan was traveling on the official road.

The flag embroidered with the words "Zhenyuan" fluttered in the wind.

"Kaigo!"

Every so often, the bodyguards would shout loudly.

It attracted the attention of passersby.

Lin Qingshan rode his horse at the very front of the group, his eyes always unconsciously glancing at the bodyguard walking at the back of the caravan.

The bodyguard was dressed in the same black outfit as the others, with a mask covering half of his face, and looked no different from anyone else.

He followed the group, and when the caravan got stuck in a ditch, he helped push it out.

Only Lin Qingshan knew the other party's identity.

At first, he was a little uneasy, but after a few days, Zhou Heng's performance was no different from that of an ordinary bodyguard.

He was finally relieved.

Although Zhou Heng told him from the beginning to treat him as an ordinary bodyguard.

But the other party is, after all, the Commander of the Imperial Guard.

Along the way, Lin Qingshan was most worried about the monsters under Qingyang Mountain Lord's command, and secondly about Zhou Heng.

Fortunately, none of his worst fears have come true.

He thought to himself that perhaps those monsters knew that the Guardian General was there, so they dared not try to harm them anymore.

Who knows, they might be able to reach Shuzhou safely.

Unbeknownst to him, as they traveled along the official road, a spiderweb hung down from a tree by the roadside, and a spider silently landed on the caravan without Zhou Heng noticing.

…………

"Zhou Heng, the Garrison Commander of the Imperial Guard."

In the dark, dense forest, there was a beautiful face, but her lower body was spider-like, with sixteen legs that looked terrifying.

A cold smile appeared on her beautiful face.

On the ground in front of it, a raccoon and dozens of monsters were all kneeling.

"Isn't that the guy who killed the Wolf Vanguard under the Hun Tian Demon King in Qizhou?"

I heard that the Demon King of Chaos has issued a kill order; whoever can kill Zhou Heng can exchange him for a thousand-year-old golden apricot in the Demon King's cave.

The Seventh Madam sneered, "Is this an opportunity that Heaven has practically sent me?"

The Chaos Demon King possesses a golden apricot tree bearing thousand-year-old golden apricots. Demons who consume these apricots can greatly enhance their cultivation and even successfully transform into human form ahead of schedule.

However, the Demon King of Chaos is very powerful, and the number of thousand-year-old golden apricots is small, so they are rarely seen outside.

The Seventh Madam had long desired a thousand-year-old golden apricot tree, but unfortunately, she had no way of obtaining one.

"Madam, Zhou Heng is very strong..."

The tanuki monster below whispered.

"I know that without some strength, I wouldn't be able to kill the Wolf Vanguard under the command of the Chaotic Demon King."

However strong he is, he's still only a fifth-rank martial artist.

The Seventh Madam said, "I have killed fifth-rank martial artists before."

The raccoon monster wanted to say something more, but considering the Seventh Madam's temper, it shut its mouth.

It always felt that Zhou Heng was no ordinary fifth-rank martial artist.

However, the Seventh Madam is no ordinary fifth-rank demon either.

It is also a fifth-rank official, but its strength is far inferior to that of the Seventh Madam.

"If he were a fifth-rank celestial official, then I would be somewhat wary of him."

A fifth-rank martial artist?

The Seventh Madam snorted coldly, "What I do best is deal with martial artists."

"Once he falls into my web, even if he has immense strength, he won't be able to use it."

A cold laugh echoed through the forest, and countless small spiders crawled along the web.

Madam Qi nodded slightly, clearly aware of the whereabouts of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency group.

…………

"What a magnificent 'Six Void Immortal Scripture'!"

Zhou Heng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Following the group from Zhenyuan Escort Agency, he silently studied the "Six Void Immortal Scripture" all the way.

Well, how should I put it?

It's not fair to say we gained nothing, but the gains were minimal.

At this rate, it will take at least several decades to get started with the "Six Void Immortal Scripture".

Including the century of cultivation previously consumed, just entering the basics requires over a hundred years.

You must understand, that was a hundred years of dedicated practice of the Six Void Immortal Scripture.

Under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn't have been able to master the basics of the "Six Void Immortal Scripture" even until his death.

"Luckily, I have a cheat code."

Zhou Heng thought to himself.

He originally wanted to try and see if he could master the basics of the "Six Void Immortal Scripture" on his own.

As it turns out, one should not overestimate oneself.

"The hundred years of cultivation I gained in the dilapidated temple still need to be used on the Six Void Immortal Scripture."

As Zhou Heng helped park the caravan, he silently thought to himself.

Trying to save time and effort is still not feasible.

He poured a hundred years of his cultivation into the "Six Void Immortal Scripture".

With a buzzing sound.

Zhou Heng felt as if his head had been bumped around.

Countless memories surged forth, making him feel dizzy.

Throughout his hundred years of memories, he abandoned worldly pursuits and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cultivation of the "Six Void Immortal Scripture".

For the past hundred years, he has been cultivating almost every second, without any rest, and unaffected by any external influences.

at last.

He has mastered the basics of the "Six Void Immortal Scripture".

He could clearly sense six different forces swirling in the air around him.

These six forces are Heaven, Earth, Mountain, Marsh, Wind, Thunder, Water, and Fire.

Celestial officials are those who borrow the power of heaven and earth for their own use.

These six forces are the foundation of all forces in the universe.

All the power in the world can ultimately be attributed to these six powers.

Zhou Heng's previous cultivation of the Boundless Ocean Technique allowed him to draw upon the power of "water" in the world.

Xue Zhiwei cultivates the Immortal Wind and Cloud Body Technique, which draws upon the power of "wind" in the world.

Now, theoretically, Zhou Heng can draw upon any power in the world.

of course.

Although he had spent two hundred years of cultivation on the Six Void Immortal Scripture, he had only barely managed to raise it to the entry level. He currently did not have the ability to control the six powers.

His ability to control "water" has now reached a new level, and at the same time, he can also control "the power of fire".

clack.

Zhou Heng snapped his fingers, and a small flame rose from his fingertips.

With a thought, the tiny flame danced nimbly between his fingers, like a little sprite.

Such a miraculous scene made the surrounding bodyguards forget what they were doing and all look over.

Lin Qingshan, who had already tied up his horse, saw this scene from afar and his eyes widened in surprise.

Is this awkward?

Why is Lord Zhou performing acrobatics here?

Just as he was about to go over, Zhou Heng snapped his fingers, and the flames went out.

He shook his head apologetically at Lin Qingshan, "I'm sorry, I just had some insights into a cultivation technique."

Lin Qingshan was speechless. Was this the strength of the Garrison Commander of the Imperial Guard?

Can one gain insights even while traveling?

No wonder he's already a garrison commander at such a young age; his talent and hard work are truly extraordinary.

Lin Qingshan called out to the bodyguards to quickly park the carriage, while he himself went into the inn to arrange the meals for everyone.

Nobody noticed.

The eaves of this inn were now covered with spiders.

The spiders began to spin webs, which gradually spread downwards from the top of the windows, as if to wrap the entire inn in spider silk.
