He was invincible from the beginning of the Heaven-Covering Era.

This is something that comes from the depths of the heart, something that everyone has, everyone knows, everyone understands, and everyone yearns for.

And then

As more and more people came to believe in Zhou Qing, he felt that the power of faith gathering around him was also increasing, and huge changes were happening every day.

“I don’t really have any profound knowledge about faith power, and I don’t know what it can be used for yet. Let’s just use a vessel to carry it for now,” Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

Before him, a small door filled with chaotic energy spun around. Now it was a true king's weapon, and could even be called the supreme king, because it was made of the finest material and the Dao marks engraved on it were extremely extraordinary.

It simply sits here quietly, as if it were the origin of the Great Dao, the origin of chaos. With a slight tremor, boundless chaotic pressure descends, and one can see the void distorting, and even the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire about to be born.

Click!

The small door slowly cracked open, and instantly, chaotic energy surged, divine light radiated, and the aura of creation and creation emanated, as if a vast and boundless world was being conceived within it.

Unfortunately, this world is only in its embryonic stage. The balance of the universe is not yet established, yin and yang are not yet separated, and the five elements are in chaos. It will be a very long time before it truly takes shape.

Because it is a small world jointly created by four World Stones.

Although the World Stone has lost its former glory before the end of Dharma, it cannot be born from just any small world. At least a small world opened up by a Quasi-Emperor has a certain probability of condensing the world's origin into a World Stone.

A complete Chaos Immortal Land, which can only be created at the pinnacle of the Dao, can only have its world origin transformed into two World Stones.

Zhou Qing obtained a World Stone from the oldest minor world of each of the two great assassin dynasties. These worlds had only been formed in the near-ancient era, hundreds of thousands of years after the ancestors of the two dynasties created them. He then obtained two more World Stones in the Chaos Immortal Land outside the Big Dipper Domain.

There were four pieces in total. It was extremely difficult for him to melt them down back then. He barely managed to integrate them into the Gate of Chaos. Judging from the current progress, it is estimated that even a saint would not be able to create this world.

Logically speaking, two World Stones are comparable to the origin of a Chaotic Immortal Land. The world created by the four World Stones might be even stronger than the Chaotic Immortal Land. Therefore, for Zhou Qing, the formation of this world is a long way off.

But now he has chosen to use the Gate of Chaos to carry the power of faith, hoping to accelerate the formation of this small world.

"It really works!" Zhou Qing exclaimed in delight.

Before him, as the power of faith surrounding him gradually converged into the door, the door became increasingly sacred, appearing somewhat unapproachable.

Strands of Dao principles slowly but continuously evolved within the gate.

That is the intertwining and separation of the Yin and Yang; that is the gradual evolution of the Five Elements into the Sun, Moon, and Stars, establishing the foundation of all things; that is the support of the world by the four poles of heaven and earth, with the earth, wind, water, and fire circulating.

Although the speed is slow, at least it's moving now compared to the stagnant pool before!

Chaos, the source of all things, can create all matter and evolve into all the Great Daos.

As the world within the gate slowly evolved, the material properties of the Chaos Gate were gradually developed. Streams of chaotic energy flowed into the gate, transforming into various principles or substances such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, light and darkness, and stars.

.

"The initial deduction was indeed correct; chaos is the most suitable material to unleash the power of the World Stone," Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

He sat cross-legged before the Gate of Chaos, his eyes shining like stars, within which starfields were fading and disappearing. This was the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, capable of observing the origin of all laws and the fundamental principles of the Great Dao. It was the most suitable Heavenly Eye for cultivators.

World Stone, without a doubt, can be used as a material for refining weapons, and is not limited to creating small worlds, which is only the most basic use.

But in all these years of this era, has no one besides Zhou Qing thought of using World Stones to forge weapons? That certainly isn't the case.

However, everyone failed. All those who attempted to refine artifacts with the World Stone ultimately transformed their artifacts into small worlds rooted in the vast void of the outside world, unable to imprint their own Dao marks upon them.

In fact, even in the Chaotic Ancient Era, the Immortal Ancient Era, and even earlier eras, the technique of refining artifacts with World Stones can be considered a core tradition.

Even the weakest World Stone, once refined, can become a True Immortal Artifact; the small worlds opened up in the Human Realm simply cannot produce World Stones.

However, with the end of the Dharma era approaching, the world has become weaker, and the quality of various materials has naturally decreased. Now, the small worlds created by the Supreme Beings in the Human Realm also have a chance to produce World Stones.

What troubled Zhou Qing the most at the time was that he didn't know how to refine the World Stone into a weapon. If he could succeed by forcibly refining it, the reputation of the World Stone would not be what it is now.

Later, he thought of an artifact whose main material was World Stone. It was a Celestial King artifact called the Hunyuan Gourd.

The main material is World Stone, which is born from a great realm comparable to a complete immortal realm, while the most important auxiliary material is Chaos Soil.

During the refining process, the World Stone was refined into the gourd's main body, various immortal metals were refined into chains of order and imprinted into the gourd's interior, and the Chaos Soil played another crucial role in the process.

That is to transform into a liquid, serving as the key to connecting the two, and truly fusing the World Stone and the Order God Chain formed from various immortal metals together.

Therefore, Zhou Qing wondered if there might be some special connection between chaos and the world. After all, chaos has always been closely related to the creation of all things and the evolution of all paths, and both of these are also closely related to the world.

After some trial and error in the Fire Domain, he succeeded!

The real reason why no one in this era has successfully forged artifacts with World Stone is that they lack a chaotic type of forging material.

This material cannot be the outer shell of a Chaos Stone; it must be the celestial material nurtured within the Chaos Stone. Throughout the ages, Zhou Qing only knew that the Chaos Bell of the Great Emperor Wushi was made from this celestial material.

Moreover, this kind of celestial material has a time limit. If no one takes it out within the specified time, it will gradually transform into a celestial embryo and give birth to a holy spirit, because it is the source of chaos energy and has the ability to create all living beings.

Perhaps, in this era, Zhou Qing is the first cultivator in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to successfully refine a World Stone.

Zhou Qing looked at the mysterious world inside the door. The strange phenomena in his eyes dissipated. He closed his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and retracted the Gate of Chaos into his body.

Observing the process of the birth of a small world

It is a great opportunity, especially for cultivators below the level of saints, as it is closely related to their laws transforming into the laws of saints and has great reference value.

However, Zhou Qing didn't need to keep a close eye on the evolution of the small world inside the gate, because this small world was already within his artifact and was also a continuation of his Dao.

Even after retracting into his body, he could still clearly feel the flow of any wisp of Dao principles within it, because it was as if he himself was creating a world that surpassed the ordinary Chaos Immortal Land, and every moment he would have many insights related to the world.

In addition, his Dao perception was already hundreds of times greater than that of his peers, and this comprehension was rising rapidly like a rocket. His foundation was increasing every moment, and he felt that he was not far from the eighth small step and would soon be able to step into it.

If his faith were to surge even more powerfully, perhaps he could greatly accelerate his progress between the eighth and ninth steps.

He doesn't directly use faith power for cultivation, but rather uses it to accelerate the formation of the small world within the sect, using his insights from opening up the world to propel himself forward.

This method is ingenious; he may be the first person in history to do so.

To Zhou Qing's surprise, his wish came true, and his faith power actually surged one day!

"Wow, have you heard? It's said that our lifelong Heavenly Secrets Grand Master is the one who caused the strange phenomenon in the nine heavens and earth before!"

"Heavens! The person in the temple is actually that god-like being! It was because I received a ray of great light from his vision that I was able to escape the Sea of ​​Suffering. He is my great benefactor!"

On this day, the people of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty were in an uproar. Not to mention the mortals, even the cultivators could not resist. On that day, waves of cultivators rushed to the temple to provide faith power, and each of them had incredibly pure faith power!

Even the people in charge of disseminating the message from the Ziwei Divine Dynasty were dumbfounded by this situation.

They were simply thinking that, in order to better provide the Demon Lord with faith, they should choose an appropriate time to reveal some of the Demon Lord's "major events".

Unexpectedly, once the news came out, things immediately spiraled out of their control. Temples across the country were packed to the brim, and even stampedes occurred.

Fortunately, the local city lord was highly skilled and managed to separate the ocean of people in time; otherwise, many mortals would have been trampled to death.

They completely underestimated the impact of Zhou Qing's Dao-severing phenomena on the Ziwei sentient beings. Each one was a massive phenomenon affecting an ancient star, and billions of living beings could see these phenomena.

In the eyes of those mortals, they had always believed that it was the manifestation of the gods, but now that the people of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty had told them that those strange phenomena were actually caused by the people in the temple, their sense of awe immediately increased.

Zhou Qing's status in the hearts of mortals was instantly elevated to a level comparable to that of the highest deity in their hearts, greatly enhancing the quality and richness of their faith.

For many cultivators, whether they were those with the lineage of a great sect or those who were previously only vaguely aware of the situation, after learning that the person was Zhou Qing, they also chose to go to the temple to pay their respects.

Because the radiance of the Great Dao covered such a wide area back then, countless cultivators on the entire Ziwei Ancient Star had benefited from Zhou Qing's blessings, and these cultivators were the ones who respected Zhou Qing the most.

As a result, not only were the people in the Ziwei Divine Dynasty in an uproar, but Zhou Qing's temple even began to slowly spread outside the Ziwei Divine Dynasty. This was all due to some people spreading their teachings spontaneously, without Zhou Qing giving any instructions at all!

Zhou Qing was stunned. The faith power gathered in the gate surged. In an instant, he felt his mind flashing with inspiration, and countless insights surged out. The gates in his body were pushed open one by one, and the speed of his cultivation improvement increased several times over.

Chapter 214 Reencounter with Yin Tiande

This speed is terrifying. Zhou Qing felt that even if he didn't go anywhere and just sat cross-legged in place to comprehend the Dao, he could still break through his realm in less than half a year.

However, since he and Dao Qingling had agreed to go out and gain some experience, he still wanted to go out and explore, and comprehend the Dao as he went. This was a good option.

There was no need for him to stay long in the Ziwei Divine Dynasty. After the old national teacher successfully pushed forward the matter of the temple, he once again immersed himself in the "Book of Destiny".

However, the old national advisor's lifespan is really running out. If he doesn't have a longevity-extending artifact, he will probably pass away in less than twenty years.

During this period, he would probably be able to comprehend the second chapter in about ten years, but it would take at least a hundred years to comprehend the third chapter. This is only because the old national teacher was originally at a very high level, which allowed him to achieve such speed.

During this time, Zhou Qing and the old national teacher had become quite close. He really didn't want to see such an old friend leave too soon, so he took out a king of herbs from the Mountain and River Map and gave it to the old national teacher.

The old national teacher also had good talent in cultivation and was a great power, but he had only lived for less than two thousand years and was about to reach the end of his lifespan.

This is because deducing heavenly secrets can easily trigger taboos, which can severely damage one's own life force, which is why the old national advisor aged so prematurely.

After consuming a medicinal herb, the old national advisor's complexion improved significantly, his wrinkles disappeared, and his white hair turned black.

After dealing with the matter of the old national advisor, Zhou Qing went to visit the Kunpeng Ancestor in another place.

In the past six months, this Great Sage has given Zhou Qing too many surprises.

"I have a secret technique that occasionally gives my spiritual senses some omens related to the future. I sensed the opportunity to become a Quasi-Emperor from you. I am tired of Ziwei. If you don't mind, I hope to follow you and go wherever you want in the starry sky."

Kunpeng Ancestor was once a great sage who dominated an era in Ziwei. Although he is no longer young and his temples are now gray, his bright eyes still shocked Zhou Qing when he spoke these words.

That was a pursuit of the Dao, a burning heart for cultivation that surpassed so many others. No wonder the Kunpeng Ancestor could become a Great Sage even in this post-ancient era; his pure Dao heart was something many people lacked.

Zhou Qing was pleasantly surprised by Kunpeng Ancestor's choice. In the past six months, he would occasionally come to discuss the Dao with Kunpeng Ancestor, and the various insights he revealed during the discussions made Kunpeng Ancestor even less doubtful of his choice.

In fact, everyone in Ziwei knows that the Demon Lord is destined to be invincible in heaven and earth in the future. Even putting aside the future, there are few people in the world who can rival him now.

Moreover, after Kunpeng Ancestor talked to Zhou Qing about that secret technique, Zhou Qing discovered that it was actually an incomplete version of the "Former" secret technique. He could only say that all the Great Saints of the post-ancient era had top-notch luck, without any shortcomings.

Zhou Qing was very generous and directly passed on the complete "Former" Secret to Ancestor Kunpeng. After all, Ancestor Kunpeng was already considered one of his own, so helping him complete the "Former" Secret was no big deal for Zhou Qing.

With Kunpeng

After a conversation with the ancestor, the Kunpeng Ancestor also gave him a token. As long as a trace of magic power was injected into it, he could immediately sense it and rush over.

In the coming period, Ancestor Kunpeng planned to stay permanently in the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.

Because Zhou Qing had told him that he would be leaving Ziwei in a few years, the Kunpeng Ancestor now planned to spend a few years in this mortal world, waiting for that day to arrive.

After dealing with the matter of the Kunpeng Ancestor, there was nothing left to do.

He wasn't very familiar with Princess Yue Shi, but Dao Qingling and Xiao Yu were. Zhou Qing waited a little while, and then the two of them said goodbye to Princess Yue Shi.

Now, the three of them stood outside the gates of the Ziwei Imperial City, looking at the vast and boundless land outside the city, as if they could see the infinite wonders contained within this land.

At the city gate, people came and went, and Zhou Qing and his two companions stood out conspicuously.

The man was exceptionally handsome, and the woman was ethereal and beautiful, attracting many people's attention and turning heads wherever they went.

"Zhou Qing, have you decided where you're going?" Dao Qingling spoke, her voice like heavenly music, magnetic and incredibly beautiful, her words penetrating to the very core of one's being.

“You should be very familiar with Shenzhou. In the past few years, you must have visited many places in Shenzhou. So my choice is the remaining three continents, among which is Luzhou!” Zhou Qing said.

"Luzhou? Is that the northern land where the Guanghan Palace is located? Speaking of which, I wonder how Yi Xiaoniu has been these past few years?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise, with a hint of curiosity.

After that Dao-Slaying Banquet, Zhou Qing released Yi Qingwu.
