However, there are indeed many bamboos with a long history among them, and in terms of lifespan alone, they are much longer than Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves people from suffering!
The energy contained within these purple bamboos is immense! Even celestial beings might not be able to match it! This is Guanyin's trump card, and the source of her confidence!
"Is this your trump card? I have a feeling that when this formation is broken, it will be the time for my breakthrough! Well then, let's test it out first." Looking at the exceptionally beautiful purple bamboo forest before him, Zhou Yu said coldly.
"The heavens and earth trembled as all five techniques were unleashed!"
With a deafening roar, in that instant, the five different elements of wind, water, fire, earth, and thunder intertwined and transformed into a massive explosion.
Unfortunately, such powerful force only caused a ripple when it collided with the purple bamboo forest; it had no other effect.
Upon seeing this, even the usually confident Zhou Yu subconsciously frowned, but then burst into laughter.
"Haha, what's there to fear about all these tribulations? It's precisely because they're challenging that they're interesting. Hmm, in that case, I'll test that move out!"
"The earth contains everything within the six directions and the four seas, illuminated by the sun and moon, guided by the stars, marked by the four seasons, and governed by the Grand Duke Jupiter. It is the birthplace of the gods, and its creatures are of various shapes and sizes, some celestial and some long-lived. Only the sage can understand its way."
"However, observing the past and present, I find very few sages who have truly grasped this path. For the celestial path is vast and boundless, the stars and moon distant and inaccessible to mortals. The Zuo Zhuan states, 'Meteorites are stars.' Meteorites are no different from the lowly yellow earth of the Central Plains compared to the masses of humanity..."
"Legend has it that: Pangu separated heaven and earth, and the sun, moon, and stars each performed their duties, bringing harmony and unity to the four seas. Unexpectedly, the sun exploded, and meteorites fell, causing a cataclysmic event that shattered the heavens and earth, destroyed the four poles, tore apart the nine provinces, and plunged the people into misery. Fortunately, Nuwa mended the sky atop a high mountain, and Xihe bathed the sun on the shores of the East Sea, saving all living beings..."
"In the past, the great goddess Nuwa mended the sky atop a high mountain, and the goddess Xihe bathed the sun on the shores of the East Sea to save all people. Today, let me, Zhou Yu, follow their example and bathe the sun on the shores of the East Sea..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of humane will descended beside Zhou Yu, scrutinizing him as if examining something.
After all, the sun rising over the East China Sea can bring enormous solar energy to the entire human world. Aside from some initial suffering, it essentially increases the very essence of humanity!
Logically speaking, this is a great act of merit. In a sense, it is called connecting heaven and earth and promoting the exchange of energy between them.
Therefore, it's quite normal that this process would be favored by humanitarian will. As for any unintentional damage caused during this process, that's also understandable!
At the same time, countless deities also turned their attention to this place! Previously, when the two were fighting in the South China Sea, the Taoist deities didn't want to get involved. As far as they were concerned, the Buddhist bodhisattvas were worth dying for!
This is why, despite the long war, no mountain gods, land gods, or powerful deities have descended from the sky.
As for the deities of Buddhism, that's none of their business! That's right, the South China Sea belongs to the Central Plains and has no jurisdiction over the Western Paradise!
Feeling the gaze of many powerful wills, accompanied by the observation of the will of humanity, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, and changes occurred inside his body.
Strands of incredibly pure, high-quality blood emerged from the acupoints hidden within the heart.
The final step in the path of body refinement involves the five internal organs. Reaching this point is considered a mark of becoming a sixth-tier Celestial Immortal.
This wisp of primordial blood flows through all the acupoints in the body. With each acupoint it passes through, its quality improves and its quantity increases. As a result, the external temperature also decreases.
One acupoint, two acupoints...
Three hundred and sixty-five acupoints...
One hundred and eight thousand acupoints...
A single yuan number...
At that moment, the stellar energy of the sun, stretching for thousands of miles, continuously poured into Zhou Yu's body, causing the temperature to drop lower and lower. Before long, day turned into night. Then, the temperature plummeted below zero and continued to decrease seemingly without end.
Immediately afterward, the area expanded continuously, reaching a radius of a thousand li, three thousand li, ten thousand li, and the range continued to expand. At this moment, with the blessing of the will of heaven and earth, Zhou Yu reached an unprecedented peak!

Chapter 47: Breakthrough and Breaking the Formation
At the same time, the sun seemed to be reacting, continuously providing endless, violent energy. This energy, in various forms such as light, heat, brightness, hope, and vitality, was constantly emanating from Zhou Yu personally.
Most of this energy that escaped into the human world simply dissipated, landing on the ground and the ocean.
Fortunately, although Zhou Yu's body was undergoing tremendous changes and his bloodline was being purified, causing him great suffering, his consciousness remained relatively clear. Under his conscious control, this energy was concentrated within a radius of a thousand miles.
In just a few breaths, the ground over a thousand miles changed, as if it had been scorched by the sun, and the surface turned black.
As for the sea area on the other side, it wasn't much better. A large amount of seawater was instantly evaporated into water vapor, and then it encountered a huge amount of energy and turned directly into a gaseous state.
As for the surface of the seawater, it was boiling. Bubbles were constantly rising to the surface.
At the same time, countless fish and shrimp, belly up, stood stubbornly on the surface of the sea, a dense and terrifying sight.
Then, these scattered, violent energies gradually calmed down, sank deep into the earth, and transformed into the purest primordial energy.
Some even transformed directly into earth veins, also known as dragon veins. They were stored away in the form of dragon veins.
It can be said that in just a few decades, not even thousands of years, this place will become the most supreme blessed land in the entire human world!
As a result, the concentration of spiritual energy within a radius of several thousand miles more than doubled! This is the benefit of bathing in the sun in the East Sea this time!
Not only can it release the violent energy that has accumulated on the sun for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, but it can also effectively transform this energy into the earth's vein dragon energy, further advancing the energy cycle between heaven and earth. This is a great merit!
From the perspective of Heaven, this is a good thing!
For the tunnels, this is still a good thing!
From a humanitarian perspective, this is initially a bad thing, but in the long run, it is still a good thing!
For many gods and Buddhas, the addition of a top-tier blessed land to the human world naturally means they want to find a way to get a share of it!
Therefore, at this point, they unanimously sentenced the original owner of this place, Guanyin Bodhisattva, to death in their hearts! Even if Zhou Yu failed in a while, they would find a way to get rid of this Bodhisattva!
As for the dead fish and shrimp, dead people, dead monsters and the like within a thousand miles, nobody cares!
At most, when they die and enter the Yama King's palace, they will be recorded, and when they are reincarnated, they will be reborn into a better family.
Ignoring the clamor of the outside world, Zhou Yu quietly savored this hard-won opportunity, comprehending his own path and studying his own methods. After all, this chance was truly exceptional!
