Although Zong Shou claimed he owed the Buddhist sect nothing, he knew their circumstances were just as dire, otherwise, the desire to carve out a Pure Land, a World of Ultimate Bliss, would never have arisen. The Great Sun Tathagata Vairocana personally arriving at this moment could truly be seen as an unstinting effort to win over him, the ‘Immeasurable Buddha of the Future.’ However, Zong Shou currently felt the kind of indifference one has when drowning in debt—with so many bugs, one hardly notices the itching.

There was no way he would ever become an Immeasurable Buddha Lord, yet regardless, he was already irrevocably tied to the karmic threads of Buddhism. Since that was the case, Zong Shou felt entirely justified in borrowing the strength of the Buddhist sect now.

Establishing a new domain involved colossal karma; failing to extract something substantial now would be a loss. The World-Burning Blood Eye continued to illuminate the outer void, where under the infinite radiance, millions of Night Demons circling outside were forced to retreat into the sixty ancient wooden ark ships for cover.

Zong Shou couldn't help but smile, knowing the battle for the border had temporarily concluded. They had successfully defended the Tianfang World, and the overall war with the Night Demon race had stabilized.

His purpose in seeking out Shen Yuexuan had been achieved, and the 'Immortal-Slaying Gourd,' which might be refined in a few months, was an unexpected boon. The next step should be dedicated, deep seclusion to see if he could elevate the Six-God Blade Control Art another level during this time!

Zong Shou was also quite expectant, awaiting the moment Shen Yuexuan observed the Dao through an artifact, proving his Dao with the 'Immortal-Slaying Gourd,' and stepping into the Saint Realm. In today's battle, with Kong Yao directing, assisted by peerless generals like Lieque and Li Xinzongyuan, they had slain nearly 700,000 elite troops of the Dark Night Demon Court, both inside and outside the Tianfang Realm.

Their own casualties were minuscule, totaling less than a thousand—a resounding victory. Zong Shou followed custom, stepping out to commend and comfort the assembled armies.

Afterward, he entered the Juntian Immortal Mansion directly, selecting a secluded chamber for his retreat. The spiritual energy might not be abundant, but Zong Shou himself had absorbed too much essence in the Qin Emperor’s Ancient Tomb.

His vital energy was already so full and expansive that suppressing it was a priority; there was no question of absorbing more. The sole objective of this seclusion was to perfect the Six-God Blade Control Art.

First, he devoted himself to comprehending the myriad secret texts Lin Xuanshuang had procured for him, mastering them completely, and then cross-referencing them with his own Six-God Blade Control Art and the Grand Supreme Immortal Slaying Catalogue. It sounded simple, but Zong Shou, accelerating time with the Universe Extreme Life-Writing Book, racked his brain, spending a full several years before he finally found a thread of understanding, gradually discerning the underlying structure.

Then, Zong Shou arrived at a jaw-dropping speculation. “The Grand Supreme Six Gods, the Grand Supreme Immortal Slaying?

Could this Grand Supreme Extinction Scripture not be eight diagrams, but rather one complete scroll?” Drawing in the void, Zong Shou carved deep lines onto the floor before him, his gaze filled with suspicion and astonishment. What he was sketching was only the partial diagram of the Grand Supreme Six Gods he had managed to piece together through exploration.

He guessed it wasn't even three-tenths or four-tenths of the true diagram. Yet, even this small portion was too much for the spirit-infused jade floor tiles, which began to shatter one after another.

The damage even spread throughout the entire Juntian Immortal Mansion, with deep, unseen fissures extending in all directions. Until a furious roar came from afar: "Zong Shou, you rebellious disciple, what in the hell are you up to?

This Immortal Mansion suits my heart perfectly—are you trying to destroy it?" Zong Shou managed a sheepish smile and had to stop, but the look of doubt in his eyes lingered for a long time. The fragmented diagram he had pieced together not only connected to the Grand Supreme Immortal Slaying Catalogue but also linked to another diagram, the Grand Supreme Calamity-Responding Catalogue, and the Grand Supreme Demon Slaying Catalogue.

Vaguely, it seemed to be the core of the Grand Supreme Extinction Scripture. It was a pity he only possessed three of the catalogues now and couldn't verify his judgment.

"If all eight diagrams could be unified, completing the Grand Supreme Extinction Scripture—what kind of phenomenon would this object manifest? A Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure?

Or a cultivation method that points directly to the True Realm? No, Grand Supreme Extinction—could it be a method for annihilating a domain?" Zong Shou looked thoughtfully at the missing corner of the Grand Supreme Demon Slaying Catalogue.

Considering the material of these diagrams, he couldn't imagine anything in this world capable of destroying them. Could it be that the will of this entire domain rejected the complete form of this Extinction Scripture?

These thoughts flashed by in an instant. Zong Shou refocused all his energy onto the Six-God Blade Control Art.

The entire process was essentially a complete reconstruction. “Those who obtained the Grand Supreme Six-God Diagrams must have been wrong, terribly wrong!

Six-God Control is not one god splitting into six, nor is it about integrating essence, spirit, and will into the blade. It is about simultaneously controlling six different Divine Arts, the methods of six different Great Daos.

The true Grand Supreme Six-God Diagram is the method to truly fuse those six Divine Art laws into one!” Although Zong Shou had mastered countless Divine Arts, there was always a certain dissonance when transitioning between them. While combining them increased power, he couldn't truly unify all their strength; the conflicts between them were difficult to coordinate and unsustainable in the long run.

Even his foundational Dao Root, the ‘Dao’ character Divine Art that encompassed all laws, couldn't manage it. It wasn't just him; no cultivator in this domain could achieve it, and they were far inferior to Zong Shou.

But the Grand Supreme Six-God Diagram could achieve this! This was the truly terrifying aspect of that diagram!

This technique might not qualify as a Great Dao, but its effect was not limited only to flying daggers; it could be applied to other magical arts and swordsmanship, multiplying one's strength! Having glimpsed the profound mystery of the Grand Supreme Six-God Diagram, the process of Zong Shou reconstructing the Six-God Blade Control Art gradually fell into place.

With the time acceleration at ten times, the more than three months spent in this quiet chamber equaled three years outside. Zong Shou was almost completely immersed, ignoring the struggles for the Tianfang World and all affairs of the Grand Qian Immortal Court across its various realms.

By this time, the Tianfang Realm was teeming with heroes and renowned generals. The Yuanlian Realm and the Cloud Realm both had capable ministers managing governance, so there was indeed no need for him to worry.

It wasn't until Zong Shou had finalized the framework for the fundamentally revamped 'Six-God Blade Control Art' that he suddenly opened his Blood Eye and gazed out toward several worlds away. Although he was in seclusion studying and ignoring external affairs, this did not mean his eyes and ears were entirely sealed off.

He paid constant attention to the war situation in the Tianfang Realm. Over three months, he learned that the Great Shang territory had fallen into complete chaos.

The Corpse Army in the northern part of the Central Cloud Land had risen, nearly becoming the Nether Kingdom. The Grand Qian was stretched too thin to manage the Tianfang World war alone.

They had only managed to incorporate a few eastern provinces of the Great Shang under their jurisdiction, leaving them unable to look further afield. However, in the provinces of the Grand Qian and the realms of Yuanlian, the eight million troops being drilled and conscripted had gradually taken shape over these three months.

They would only need another half a year before they could be deployed to the battlefield. At that time, even directly resisting the Dark Night Demon Court would not be an impossible feat.

For several months, the Night Demon army had only tentatively attacked the Tianfang World a few times, withdrawing decisively after suffering losses of hundreds of thousands each time. Seeing no other activity, it left people baffled.

However, today, they finally made a move.
