Dao Qingling didn't attend the banquet at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, but Zhou Qing has now filled in for her at this table and also sent a telepathic message to Xiaoyu, inviting her to come over as well.
At night, the sounds of silk and bamboo instruments fill the air, the music is melodious, and the city is brightly lit. The palaces floating in the air are filled with auspicious light and radiant glow, making the imperial city even more beautiful.
"It's been three and a half years since I left Beidou. I wonder how Beidou is doing, and whether the dynasty is still stable."
Looking at the bustling imperial city before her, Dao Qingling recalled the capital of the Divine Continent in Beidou. That city was even more prosperous than the one before her, like a divine capital descended to earth. Only three cities in the entire Beidou could rival it.
“Beidou? Nothing major has happened in Beidou recently. Everything is very stable, even calm, without any waves,” Zhou Qing said.
He was in Ziwei, so it was clearly impossible for him to have any information from Beidou. Yet Dao Qingling had no doubt about his words, because there were few people in the entire universe who could match his divination skills.
For him, if something truly significant were to happen in the Big Dipper, it would be impossible to hide it from his calculations. He knows the past and the future; if he wanted to, there are few things in the universe he couldn't calculate, it's just a matter of how much of a price to pay.
"Hmm? Nothing major has happened yet, but something that I was once very interested in has indeed occurred." Zhou Qing said with a hint of surprise.
"What could possibly interest you?" Dao Qingling asked, looking surprised.
"You'll know as soon as you see it."
With a wave of his hands, Zhou Qing created a light screen in front of them, revealing a desolate and endless mountain range.
"Where is this?" Xiaoyu came over and asked in surprise.
“The Big Dipper, the Eastern Wilderness,” Zhou Qing said.
This is a barren mountain range with endless peaks, sparse vegetation, and mostly scorched earth.
This place should have been a desolate wasteland, but now, on the surrounding barren mountains, there are many figures and powerful individuals standing guard, sealing off all directions.
"Wait a minute, I'll try to get the sound over here too," Zhou Qing said.
Being in the Ziwei Palace, yet able to reflect the scenery of the Big Dipper, it is very difficult to forcefully advance it simply through cultivation.
However, different Great Daos have different mysteries, and Zhou Qing used the Great Dao of Destiny to reflect the scene of the Eastern Wilderness. However, the distance was too far, so the scene on the light screen was somewhat blurry, and there was no sound.
"We've found the seed," Zhou Qing said suddenly after closing his eyes for a moment.
Meanwhile, in the Beidou region, in the western part of the Wei Kingdom.
Ye Fan felt a headache coming on. According to what the God Lord said before he left, his Zhou family made a deal with the descendants of the Azure Emperor to nurture the Demon Emperor's Heart in his body so that he could use it to temper his flesh and blood.
But only the second day, the descendants of the Azure Emperor were attacked at their door, and he hadn't even really squeezed the heart dry yet.
At this moment, he used his system to detect the cultivation level of this group of enemies. A white light that only he could see swept across the surroundings, and ancient characters appeared around those people.
"Hiss!" Ye Fan's chest heaved as he gasped for breath.
Among this group, the weakest are all in the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and the strongest is a powerful expert at the First Heaven. Not many forces can send out such a force at will.
Suddenly, a holy radiance emanated from the light screen before him, and a dazzling golden light swept across the four directions, covering the entire land, as if a celestial net had appeared in the sky.
"What's going on? The system is malfunctioning on its own. Has something else happened?"
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat. Based on his experience over the past few years, whenever the system reacted automatically, it meant either a major crisis or a great opportunity had appeared nearby.
However, after a moment of suspicion, he found that there were no prompts at all, leading him to mutter, "Could it be that this thing created by the God has finally gone wrong this time?"
However, after that golden net of light spread out, the light screen in front of Zhou Qing, who was far away in Ziwei, suddenly became countless times clearer, as if it had gone from smooth to 4K, with clear picture and sound.
"My divine body has reached a minor stage of completion. I heard that the descendant of the Demon Emperor is here, so I have come to challenge him to a duel."
This was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in purple, blending seamlessly with the surrounding mountains. His expression was calm, and his words were soft and gentle.
“My lord is unwell and unable to fight. Please arrange a new match another day,” a middle-aged woman said in a deep voice.
"I won't force you to fight if you can't, but after achieving minor success in my divine body, there are few divine weapons in the world that I like, and I lack a suitable weapon. Please leave the Demon Emperor's Sacred Weapon behind." The purple-robed man spoke gently, but what he said was terrifying.
Beside him, a beautiful young woman said, "My young master has achieved minor success in his divine body, and only the Demon Emperor's Sacred Weapon is barely worthy of him."
Ji Haoyue stood calmly with deep eyes, hands behind his back, exuding composure and elegance. His robes fluttered, and he possessed a refined and graceful demeanor, resembling a great emperor of the time. He immediately ordered the descendants of the Azure Emperor to send over the Demon Emperor's weapon.
What confidence this is! What an invincible spirit! Looking across history, there has never been anyone who could rival it.
Ziwei, an untimely, silvery laugh suddenly rang out: "Who is this person? He seems even more arrogant than Zhou Qing. Does your Eastern Wilderness have such a talent?"
Xiaoyu's laughter was strange, as if she was trying to hold it in but couldn't. She didn't know which points to criticize anymore, feeling that there were flaws everywhere.
“This is Ji Haoyue, the seventh young master of the Ji family. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Four Extremes, which is comparable to some of the weaker elders in the clan,” Zhou Qing said.
“Ji Haoyue, I think I’ve heard this name before. This shouldn’t be his first battle in the Eastern Wilderness,” Xiaoyu asked.
“Back then, he fought Tai Xuan Hua Yunfei to a draw, and then returned to his clan to cultivate diligently. This should be his second battle since his birth,” Zhou Qing said.
"Huh? I remember now, he's the one who said that after his divine body was initially formed, only the Nine Secrets were worthy of performing his secret techniques?" Xiaoyu suddenly realized.
At this moment, a fight broke out on the screen. A strange phenomenon appeared: the moon rose over the sea. Ji Haoyue stood with his hands behind his back. With a turn of the moon, he turned the middle-aged beauty in front of him into a bloody mist, while he didn't even move.
Seeing the shocked looks on the faces of those around her, Ji Haoyue felt even more proud. The confidence she had lost when she had suffered a setback due to the draw with Hua Yunfei had returned.
His gaze fell upon the core of the group, a flawless woman. A surge of fighting spirit rose within him; he could no longer wait to defeat her.
On
Among the demons, there was a group that stood out. They were completely shrouded in gray robes, obscuring their true faces. Although they stood within the demon forces, they did not resemble demons.
This was Ye Fan and his group. At this moment, Yan Ruyu was transmitting her voice to them, saying, "Senior, could you help us escape this calamity? If you are willing to help us, Ruyu will surely repay you handsomely in the future."
Ye Fan turned to look at the two gray-robed elders behind him and transmitted his voice, "Elders, what should we do?"
The gray-robed old man behind him laughed and said, "That's too easy."
Then, in a short while, they had settled everything, while Ji Haoyue was calmly playing with an old woman.
"boom!"
A wisp of supreme aura pressed down, causing the world to tremble violently. Within a radius of a thousand miles, everything was reduced to dust. Half of the Ji family members were annihilated without even uttering a sound, including that powerful being at the first level of the Heavenly Realm.
Ji Haoyue was stunned. An ancient mirror rose from his body, emanating a hazy, chaotic aura that protected him and some other people nearby, while everyone else died.
At the same time, seven or eight domain gates opened, and the group of demons rushed in.
The reason why the domain gate could not be opened before was because this area was special, but now the Supreme Emperor Weapon has swept the area flat with one strike, turning any special terrain into dust, so the domain gate can be opened easily.
Because this was a powerful being wielding an imperial weapon, truly unleashing a wisp of imperial might, even breaking through the special field formed underground.
Ji Haoyue was in a daze. He looked at the scene, and the confidence he had gained from defeating several demons shattered instantly, breaking into pieces. This was serious.
It wasn't until most of the demons had fled that he finally came to his senses. His anger surged, and he immediately activated the Void Mirror, intending to unleash the Chaos Light.
However, his magical power was too weak; he couldn't even unleash the Emperor's might. He simply amplified his own magical power, and with a powerful being activating an Emperor's weapon to protect the domain gate, his magical power had no effect whatsoever.
A moment later, all the demons withdrew, and Ji Haoyue, as if she had used up all her strength, sat down on the ground.
"Brother Haoyue, you have to pull yourself together."
A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old ran over. She was dressed in purple, extremely beautiful, with big eyes and long eyelashes, and a kind of spirit. But at this moment, she looked worried.
That attack was terrifying; everyone except those near the Void Mirror died.
The self-protecting Void Mirror generally only covers that one person. Even if the range is expanded a little, it cannot protect everyone, since no one is activating it.
When the remaining half of the Ji family returned to the Ji family, it immediately caused a sensation. Some members of the Ji family said they wanted revenge, while others said the matter was still up for discussion.
"Stop arguing!" At this moment, a very old cultivator walked out, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of time, and he carried a faint but powerful aura, which instantly silenced the group of living fossils present.
"You guys are really something! Have you forgotten the majesty of a Great Emperor? You actually dared to try to suppress an Imperial Weapon. You have only yourself to blame for this consequence. The ancestral teachings have long said that you must not use Imperial Weapons against extreme forces. Have you forgotten all of that? Or has your hegemonic status over the years made you so arrogant that you no longer care about other Imperial Weapons?"
The old man immediately launched into a tirade, and the living fossils fell silent, not daring to utter a single rebuttal.
After all, this was their ancestor, a saint of the Ji family, who was born a few years ago to bring back his elder brother's skull from the Assassin God Dynasty. They could only endure his insults.
"Alas, the post-ancient era has been too long. The absence of powerful figures has made you all lose your sense of awe for even a Great Emperor. Especially you, the eighth son of the Ji family, you are the most arrogant of this generation. I punish you by making you spend three years in the Scripture Pavilion reading ancient books. Arrogance is not an obstacle, ignorance is!"
The Ji family sage was utterly disappointed. How could the descendants of the Void Emperor be so arrogant, or rather, so ignorant? These descendants probably didn't even understand the different levels of a sage. They could even call an imperial weapon a sage weapon. This was too astonishing for him, a sage.
This is all due to a lack of education. We must make them read ancient books. This generation's understanding of the realm beyond the highest level is far too shallow.
The Ji family sage had been trying to slow down his lifespan in recent years and had not paid attention to family affairs. Now that he had come out, he learned such shocking news, which made him furious. He decided to take power into his own hands first and let his descendants take power after they had cleared their minds.
Chapter 213 World Stone Faith Power Humanoid Automatic Cultivation Device
Chapter 213 World Stone + Faith Power = Humanoid Automatic Cultivation Device
On the Ziwei Starfield, the light screen in front of Zhou Qing and the others disappeared after Ye Fan and the others entered the domain gate.
For them, it was just a funny farce that made their evening even more joyful.
The next day, after some discussion at the court assembly, and with the encouragement of the old national teacher, the Ziwei Divine Dynasty began to build temples in various places and erect statues of Zhou Qing to provide him with the power of his wishes.
Zhou Qing, on the other hand, was revered as the lifelong Heavenly Secrets National Preceptor of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.
Although Zhou Qing did not calculate anything for them, he left their lineage of imperial advisors a book called "The Book of Destiny," and after the old imperial advisor tested it on himself, he gave it a title.
The supreme secret manual of the Heavenly Secrets lineage!
The officials were shocked. Such a title is not something that can be bestowed by any classic text. Unless someone is truly unprecedented and has no equal throughout the ages, how can they be worthy of such a title?
But with the old national advisor's abilities, how could he not discern the true value of a celestial book? That can only mean that the value and significance of this celestial book are truly unimaginable.
In doing so, the karmic ties between their Ziwei Divine Dynasty and Zhou Qing became even stronger!
This cause and effect is too difficult to repay. If the old national teacher's judgment is correct, and all the celestial strategists in the entire universe recognize this celestial book as the supreme secret manual, then the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, which inherits this secret manual, will have an unimaginable status in the celestial strategist lineage.
Of course, this status is not as high as that of Zhou Qing, who was alive.
Therefore, with a single decree from the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, temples were erected in all 100,000 giant cities, and countless living beings came to know of the existence of this lifelong Heavenly Secrets Grand Master.
"Have you heard? It's said that this imperial advisor has boundless magical powers and can predict anything in heaven and earth. Why don't we go and get a divination slip?"
"What? It is said that this imperial advisor has the ability to change fate and shape an infinite future? Then I must pay my respects to him."
In just one day, Zhou Qingzhen felt the changes. Strands of faith power gathered towards him, holy energy surged, and immortal light shone brightly. Huge changes were happening every moment.
How vast is the Ziwei Divine Dynasty? It spans tens of millions of miles!
To be honest, this territory is comparable to the combined area of dozens or even hundreds of ordinary stars.
Even though there are many desolate and wild places in the country, the total number of living beings in the entire divine dynasty is unimaginable, no less than hundreds of billions.
Even if 99% of them are mortals, for the power of faith, the level of cultivation is not the real factor affecting the purity and quantity of faith power; the sincerity of faith is.
For mortals, Zhou Qing's abilities are incredibly attractive. The weaker a person is, the more they yearn for a sudden burst of good fortune to gain immortality and become a superior being.
Although they knew that it was too unrealistic to think that they could change their fate by simply praying, it did not stop them from placing their faith in Zhou Qing in the temple.
Faith is a beautiful form of spiritual sustenance, existing somewhere between belief and disbelief. In other words, the concepts of belief and disbelief cannot accurately describe this psychological state.
