The divine manifestations began at the Gongwei Division.

Five hundred years of cultivation was Zhou Heng's greatest gain since his rebirth.

After five hundred years of dedicated cultivation, countless memories surged into his mind.

Even with Zhou Heng's strong willpower from two lifetimes, he felt as if his head was about to split open.

He forced himself to stay calm, and his figure flew out, disappearing from the Zhenyuan Escort Agency in the blink of an eye.

Lin Qingshan was engrossed in dealing with the demons when he suddenly saw Zhou Heng rushing into the forest.

A moment later, everyone heard roars coming from the mountains and forests.

The roar sounded somewhat like Zhou Heng's voice, and it also sounded painful.

Everyone looked at each other, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

"Everyone, be on high alert!"

Lin Qingshan said in a serious and deep voice.

perhaps--

Governor Zhou discovered traces of the monster again.

For Commander Zhou to treat it with such seriousness, it must be an extremely powerful monster!

……

Zhou Heng ran to a secluded spot and finally couldn't help but scream.

He held his head in his hands, his body curled up like a shrimp.

Countless memories churned in my mind, as if my head couldn't hold them all.

The pain caused Zhou Heng to lose control of the power within his body.

He drew his Dragon Sparrow Blade and began slashing wildly.

Rumble.

He saw the trees as broken and fragmented.

Within a radius of several dozen feet, the ground was covered in chicken droppings.

It took a full incense stick's time for the splitting headache to gradually subside.

Zhou Heng was panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

He felt even more exhausted than if he had fought a great battle against a fifth-rank demon.

His body almost couldn't withstand the memories brought about by five hundred years of painstaking cultivation.

Zhou Heng now finally understands why Sun Wukong had to obey Tang Sanzang after he put on the golden headband.

This headache is absolutely awful!

"More cultivation is not necessarily better. I can only withstand five hundred years at a time right now. Any more than that, and before my cultivation level can improve, I will be too weak to handle the nourishment and die from overeating."

Zhou Heng thought to himself.

This time he acted rashly.

He should use his five hundred years of cultivation separately.

However, cultivation is essentially about energy; as the saying goes, one must exert oneself fully at the first effort, then weaken at the second, and exhaust it at the third.

Without this sharp spirit, and always looking back and forth, one will not achieve anything in the path of cultivation.

After being attacked with five hundred Daoist cultivation points, Zhou Heng's "Six Void Immortal Scripture" showed a significant improvement.

Beginner, Minor Success, Major Success

The Six Void Immortal Scripture was directly elevated to the Great Completion Realm.

In terms of realm, he also broke through two levels in his Immortal Official realm.

He was promoted directly from the sixth-rank celestial official realm to the fourth-rank!

A fourth-rank celestial official, also known as a sorcerer.

This means that when a celestial official cultivates to this level, they can cast celestial spells at will, without even needing to chant incantations or form hand seals. They can release celestial spells in the blink of an eye, and the speed of casting spells is many times faster than before.

Before reaching the fourth rank, celestial officials primarily served as support roles.

Although immortal techniques are powerful, their effectiveness in actual combat is greatly limited due to the limitations imposed by casting speed.

Once you reach the fourth rank, this restriction no longer exists.

Zhou Heng raised his right hand and waved it gently.

A whirlwind suddenly appeared, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground and forming a visible vortex.

He lowered his palm, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his palm, instantly shattering the fallen leaves into dust.

Zhou Heng's playful nature was aroused.

With a stomp of the foot, a small mound rose up, and then the soil on the ground turned into a swamp.

Wind, thunder, mountain, marsh, water, fire.

He has now mastered six of the eight powers in the Six Void Immortal Scripture.

Besides the forces of Heaven and Earth, he can now flexibly utilize these six forces between Heaven and Earth.

Although it is only the most basic application, it is already quite profound.

Once he cultivates some corresponding immortal techniques, his combat power will definitely increase dramatically.

Thinking of immortal techniques, a sense of helplessness flashed through Zhou Heng's mind.

Aside from his magical arts, his martial arts skills are also quite lacking.

For other cultivators, skills often precede cultivation level.

Immortal arts are simpler than immortal techniques, and martial arts skills are simpler than martial arts prowess; this is common sense.

But with Zhou Heng, things were reversed.

His cultivation progressed rapidly, but his immortal arts and martial arts skills remained stagnant.

Strictly speaking, the only skills he can currently offer are half of the Heavenly Gang Immortal Technique: Summoning Rain, and the Jade Void Pure Source Saber Technique.

Fortunately, his cultivation level was strong enough.

He could overcome any technique with sheer force; most demons were not worth his advanced magic and martial arts skills.

After tidying himself up, Zhou Heng slowly walked out of the forest and returned to the caravan.

Seeing Zhou Heng's calm and composed demeanor, Lin Qingshan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, are you alright?"

Lin Qingshan asked in a low voice.

"It's alright, my clothes are just a little dirty."

Zhou Heng said calmly.

…………

A raccoon demon with a cultivation level of five rank swiftly traversed the mountains and forests.

It used every ounce of strength it had to suckle, wishing it had two more legs.

As it ran wildly, it even felt that its speed had broken through its limits again.

But it wasn't happy at all.

The Seventh Madam is doomed.

What a terrifying Imperial Guard Commander!

It said that Zhou Heng was not easy to deal with.

Unfortunately, the Seventh Madam was too confident.

The raccoon monster ran for hundreds of miles, then looked back and saw that Zhou Heng hadn't caught up, so it breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, it felt as if its limbs were about to break, and it was so exhausted that it had no strength left.

"Seventh Madam is dead. If I go back now, the King will definitely not spare me."

The raccoon monster muttered to itself, "Anyway, all the monsters brought by the Seventh Madam have been wiped out, so no one knows I'm still alive."

I think I'll find a place to hide.

I've heard that some people like to keep cats as pets—

Okay, let's do it that way.

It spotted a direction and limped forward, soon appearing in a city.

With its outstanding appearance and intelligence that understands human nature, it quickly infiltrated a wealthy family.

Held in the arms of the wealthy family's women, the raccoon dog finally felt completely relieved.

It comfortably closed its eyes and thought to itself, "I'll go with you Guardian Division to slay demons and monsters. I'll just stay here and hide properly. As long as I don't hurt anyone, who can find me?"

It was nestled in the woman's arms as they entered through the gate.

It couldn't read and didn't recognize that there was a plaque above the gate the woman had crossed, with the three large characters "Prefectural Governor's Residence" written on it.

Shuzhou governor's office.

…………

Zhou Heng played with the tiger-striped bag he had seized from the Seventh Madam and discovered that it could only be activated by demonic power.

If it can't be driven, it's just an ordinary pocket.

After losing interest, he put the tiger-striped bag into his pocket, intending to find an opportunity to exchange it for some money.

It's a magic weapon personally crafted by a fourth-rank demon, so it should be worth a lot of silver.

With the Seventh Madam's corpse on the caravan, I should be considered a wealthy man by then.

Zhou Heng thought to himself with a smug smile.

When he first transmigrated, he was penniless. He started from scratch and not only rose to the rank of Garrison Commander, but also amassed a considerable fortune.

I ask you, who else is there!

I was just thinking about it.

Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from ahead.

Suddenly, one wheel of a caravan traveling on a narrow mountain road fell off the road, and it looked like it was about to plunge off the cliff. The horses pulling it were pulled up on their backs and neighed pitifully.
