The divine manifestations began at the Gongwei Division.

Zhou Heng sat cross-legged, his expression calm and serene.

However, a tremendous change was taking place in his mind.

Waves arose in the sea of ​​consciousness, producing a deafening roar.

Zhou Heng felt a blinding light shoot out from his sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, he felt as if his head was about to split open.

He even heard a cracking sound, like a walnut breaking.

Above the sea of ​​consciousness, space seemed to be pierced by light.

A crystal-clear palace slowly rose from the sea of ​​consciousness.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The palace finally stabilized above the sea of ​​consciousness.

Light flowed above the palace, and with each rotation, a cool aura settled upon the sea of ​​consciousness.

The energy surged in his sea of ​​consciousness, then flowed back into his body, circulating along a special path before returning to the palace.

Zhou Heng slowly opened his eyes, his face showing a thoughtful and surprised expression.

If he still doesn't understand what happened by this point, he's a fool.

The problem is, he doesn't understand!

They opened the divine court and established the divine palace.

This is clearly a sign that a priest is about to enter the priesthood.

The problem is that becoming a priest requires an official title and register from the imperial court.

He didn't.

Moreover, he had never practiced the divine arts of a priest, so how did he inexplicably establish a divine palace?

"A priest who is not ordained is a nature priest, so am I a nature priest?"

Zhou Heng pondered to himself, still unable to understand how all of this had happened.

Fortunately, he is not the type to overthink things.

If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it.

It's always a good thing to establish a shrine.

From now on, he can be considered a priest.

Immortal, Martial, and Divine – cultivating all three paths simultaneously.

It seems like no one has ever done this before.

"If a divine palace is established, then one becomes a ninth-rank divine official."

The ninth-ranking priest was also known as the Night Wanderer…

Zhou Heng thought to himself.

He opened his eyes and looked at the sky.

As he was building the temple, it had become completely dark.

After finishing their meal, the bodyguards from Zhenyuan Escort Agency took turns resting.

Apart from a few bodyguards on night watch, everyone else was asleep in disarray, and no one noticed Zhou Heng's actions.

They all assumed Zhou Heng was cultivating, so no one disturbed him.

"You'll know once you try it."

Zhou Heng muttered to himself.

He closed his eyes again and focused his attention on the temple.

A moment later, a figure seemed to appear in the shrine.

The figure looked exactly like Zhou Heng himself.

Following Zhou Heng's thought, the figure pushed open the door of the divine palace and walked out.

call!

Zhou Heng felt a sudden lightness in his body, followed by a chilling sensation.

He turned around and saw himself sitting cross-legged.

Only then did he realize that he was now just a vague and ethereal phantom.

The night wind brought a chilling, bone-deep feeling.

He felt so weak that even a gust of wind could blow him away.

Whether in martial arts or immortality, Zhou Heng has already cultivated to the middle third rank.

He was physically strong and exuded an ethereal aura.

I haven't felt this vulnerable and powerless in a long time.

Night Wanderer.

His current spiritual strength only allows him to function at night; even ordinary sunlight can cause his soul to dissipate.

Only as his cultivation level improved could he achieve the ability to act in a trance even during the day.

Zhou Heng raised his hand in front of his eyes and saw only a shadow that looked like ripples on water.

The Night Wanderer has substance but no form; it cannot be seen with the naked eye.

With a playful air, Zhou Heng wandered around the camp.

He even walked back and forth in front of the night patrolling bodyguards.

The bodyguards were just shivering from the cold, completely unaware that Zhou Heng was passing right in front of them.

After playing for a while, Zhou Heng felt that the camp could no longer satisfy his curiosity.

For him, cultivation was not only about mastering the power to slay demons and monsters, but also about this novel feeling.

This is his way of exploring the world.

The Night Wanderer rose with the wind, as if flying on the wind.

Although Zhou Heng is a martial artist and celestial official of the third rank, he still does not have the ability to fly.

In his current state as a night wanderer, he experienced the feeling of flying.

As he was flying through the air, he suddenly noticed a dark shadowy figure sneaking towards the Zhenyuan Escort Agency's camp below.

With a thought, Zhou Heng landed back on the ground.

Although invisible to the naked eye in the Night Wanderer state, powerful cultivators can still sense it.

Therefore, Zhou Heng did not get too close.

Even so, as he landed, one of the shadowy figures still turned its head and glanced in his direction.

After not seeing Zhou Heng, a hint of doubt flashed in its eyes.

The other party did not see Zhou Heng, but Zhou Heng had already seen the other party clearly.

A bunch of monsters!

"No wonder I sensed danger before, but it never came."

Are these monsters really planning a night raid?

Zhou Heng felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

But then I thought again, I can't treat monsters as just wild beasts.

Even wild animals employ strategies when hunting.

Moreover, monsters are actually no less intelligent than humans.

It's not surprising that they chose to launch a sneak attack.

"Unfortunately, you've run into me."

Zhou Heng muttered to himself.

The Night Wanderer transformed into a gentle breeze and returned to the camp.

Zhou Heng opened his eyes at the same time.

He quietly woke up Lin Qingshan, who was sleeping soundly next to him.

Just as Lin Qingshan was about to make a sound, he saw Zhou Heng put his finger to his lips and shush.

Lin Qingshan, being an old and shrewd man, immediately understood.

A night raid has occurred!

No, it must be a monster attacking at night!

He gestured to Zhou Heng, then bent down and walked to each of the bodyguards, carefully waking them up while using hand gestures to tell them that a monster was attacking.

Zhou Heng was very satisfied with Lin Qingshan's reaction.

Zhou Heng was particularly amused when he saw the bodyguards lying on the ground pretending to be asleep, but each of them had secretly drawn their long swords.

Some of the monsters they could handle, they still had to deal with themselves.

Zhou Heng will only take action against those who are too powerful for him to handle.

Zhou Heng now adopted a spectator's attitude, sensing that the monsters were getting closer and closer.

…………

Deer Whirlwind lay on the ground, crawling forward, leading the way.

The camp of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency was now in sight.

It made gurgling sounds, using coded signals to communicate with the monsters under its command.

"I'll deal with the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort), you guys deal with the other镖师 (bodyguards/escorts), and cut off their heads while they're sleeping."

"receive."

Deer Whirlwind raised his hand and waved it forward.

Swish!

The group of monsters rushed out at the same time and pounced on the camp.

A distance of two or three zhang is almost negligible to these monsters.

In the blink of an eye, they had already pounced into the camp. The patrolling guards were completely taken aback and had no time to react.

The sleeping镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) were like dead pigs, unable to escape their slaughter.

A smug look had already appeared on Lu Xuanfeng's face.

Just then.

Suddenly, all the bodyguards who were lying down jumped up.

Puff puff!

Caught off guard, several monsters were stabbed through the heart by the steel blade in an instant.

The smugness on Deer Whirlwind's face froze. A strong gust of wind rushed towards him, and the image of a steel knife appeared in his pupils, the blade getting closer and closer.
