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

“It would be best if you could sense the Dao within it. I’m not good at this kind of Dao, so this stone wouldn’t be of much use to me, but it can be used to its fullest potential if I give it to you,” Zhou Qing said with a smile.

“Alright, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. I’ll accept this Primordial Life Stone. If I gain any insights from it, I will share them with you,” Dao Qingling said softly.

At this moment, Xiaoyu also came over, and said excitedly, "Zhou Qing, I'm so strong now! If I go back to Beidou, I can make those Feathered Body and Underworld Body cry with one punch! So when are we going back to Beidou? I really want to go back to the Divine Continent Dynasty and show off."

Zhou Qing looked somewhat helpless and said, "You're almost as strong as some of the living fossils from the Divine Continent Dynasty, yet you're still so unsteady. Don't worry, we've already experienced enough in the Ziwei Star Region. There's only one last thing left, and then we'll be all done."

"What else could be so important to you?" Xiaoyu asked, looking puzzled.

"Have you heard the legend of the Taoist riding an ox? More than two thousand years ago, a man named Laozi left behind in the Ziwei Star Region..."

"We've inherited his legacy, which includes a secret technique that can greatly enhance our combat power. Judging by the timeline, this legacy should be released soon, and once we obtain it, we can return to Beidou," Zhou Qing said.

"Laozi, the Taoist Riding an Ox? I remember his figure also appeared in the Big Dipper. It seems that he appeared in the Big Dipper with that monk named Shakyamuni from Mount Sumeru in the Western Desert. However, not long after, both of them disappeared." Dao Qingling said thoughtfully.

“It’s him. The Taiqing Sacred Realm he created is a quasi-Emperor level small world, which is quite difficult to deduce. However, as time goes by, this inheritance is about to descend into the world on its own. I have already vaguely sensed the location of this small world,” Zhou Qing said.

"In that case, let's hurry up and find this inheritance! With you here, what inheritance can escape your deductions!" Xiaoyu urged, her confidence in Zhou Qing overflowing.

“We don’t need to look for it ourselves; someone will help us find it,” Zhou Qing said meaningfully.

The Sun Cult Leader and the living fossils saw these people talking here, but they didn't intend to disturb them, so they quietly left.

The Sun Saintess remained there without saying a word until Zhou Qing called her over, at which point she walked into the small circle of people.

"Yu'er, I told you before that if I leave Ziwei in the future, you would still be willing to follow me. I will not refuse you. Now I ask you, have your thoughts changed?" Zhou Qing asked.

The Sun Saintess smiled brightly and said, "The Ancient Sun Cult is now both safe and full of vitality for cultivation. Whether I stay or not makes no difference, so my thoughts remain unchanged. I want to go and see what the future, with you and your Big Dipper, is really like."

“Okay.” Zhou Qing nodded, giving a brief reply. He understood what the Sun Saintess was thinking, and therefore had no more concerns.

From this day forward, the people of Tanggu became even more active, with all sorts of ingenious ideas emerging and all kinds of magical spells being created. Everyone was full of creativity, and countless insights were flowing through their minds.

Zhou Qing remained under the Fusang Divine Tree, and apart from Dao Qingling and a few others, no one else knew what he was doing.

At this moment, Zhou Qing solemnly held a classic quill pen, with a seemingly ordinary notebook floating in front of him, on which he wrote lines of text.

"In Luzhou, Yin Tiande had not been able to find the Bajing Palace for a long time, so he came to Tianyuan City to look for Laozi's footprints, because it is said that more than two thousand years ago, the Taoist riding an ox also came here."

"After a thorough search, Yin Tiande found no clues, which made him somewhat discouraged and even consider giving up the search for the Eight Views Palace."

"He felt very depressed, so he separated from his brother and some followers and went alone into the wilderness to relax."

"After flying tens of thousands of miles, he stumbled upon an abandoned ancient array platform, a logical coincidence."

"He tried inserting pieces of source stone, and to his surprise, the array was actually activated, forming a passage leading into the distance."

"He felt a little different from before, as if he was somewhat reckless, but he quickly forgot about it. When he came out of the passage, he found that he had traversed eight million miles, which he found unbelievable."

Wow!

The paper turned to a new page, and Zhou Qing continued to write lines of text intently, as if he were writing a story.

He used the power of destiny to create a quill pen and a notebook, which, in a world unseen by others, influenced Yin Tiande's life trajectory, allowing him to come into early contact with the cause and effect related to Lao Tzu's legacy and to write his destiny.

"Yin Tiande was very curious about where he had been teleported to, so he began to explore in the distance. A month later, he flew to a beautiful place and suddenly felt something."

"Then, before his eyes, a great burst of blazing light erupted, and a void realm opened up, revealing a small world."

Chapter 238 Yin Tiande's Second Defeat

"Is this... a small world created in the void?" Yin Tiande was deeply unsettled.

He activated his Heavenly Eye and strained to look into the small world. In the dim light, he saw the four characters "Taiqing Sacred Realm" in this void.

"Could it be that I have found the legacy left behind by that Taoist priest who rode an ox?" Yin Tiande was shocked and felt it was incredible.

Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.

In the years before, he had been actively searching for this heritage but had never been able to find it. Now, he was just wandering around when he stumbled upon the Eight Views Palace. This wonderful experience made him feel like he was in a dream, and he was overjoyed.

"Perhaps this is fate's choice. I, Yin Tiande, am destined to inherit the legacy of this Taiqing Sacred Realm," Yin Tiande thought to himself.

However, at this moment.

Boom!

A large hole opened in the sky, and four figures descended from the heavens, like messengers from the celestial realm. Their bodies were enveloped in boundless, dazzling golden light, so bright that it was difficult to discern their figures.

Yin Tiande activated his Heavenly Eye and looked at the four figures. In just an instant, he let out a muffled groan, and bloody tears streamed down his face.

His expression was pained, but as he circulated his magic, he used a holy healing technique, and his eyes quickly returned to normal.

"Yin Tiande, we meet again."

At that moment, a somewhat familiar voice came from a figure in the sky. Yin Tiande felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his heart sank, and a shadow filled his mind.

Sure enough, when the divine light dissipated and the true faces of the four figures appeared before him, his idea was immediately confirmed.

"Demon Lord, I never expected to see you in this barren wasteland." Yin Tiande's expression was very unpleasant. Under this starry sky, the person in front of him was the last person he wanted to see.

In the sky above, Zhou Qing, Dao Qingling, Xiao Yu, and the Sun Saintess slowly descended and stood before the Taiqing Sacred Realm. They only needed to take one step to enter this small world.

"Yin Tiande, I've taken this inheritance. If you retreat now, I won't touch you. But if you still want to compete with me, don't blame me for being ruthless." Zhou Qing stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, like an invincible overlord, his words filled with domineering arrogance.

Yin Tiande gritted his teeth so hard they almost broke, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes filled with resentment. He desperately wanted to fight this man, but he knew it would be like throwing an egg against a rock, only to humiliate himself.

The transition from great joy to great sorrow was so easy. Before, he was delighted to have found the Taiqing Sacred Realm, but now he was being forced to retreat, which was extremely humiliating.

He looked at the four figures in front of him. Zhou Qing was someone he didn't want to face for the time being because the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and the so-called battle was meaningless.

Princess Shenzhou defeated him several years ago, but after so many years of cultivation, his level of skill is now vastly different. If they were to fight again now, he might not necessarily lose.

The other two people were a maidservant beside Princess Shenzhou and a saintess who was suspected to be from the long-lost Sun Ancient Sect. Their cultivation levels also shocked him. Although they were not as good as him, they were definitely better than his younger brother Yin Tianzhi.

"it is good

"I'll leave, but I have one request." Yin Tiande forced out these words, feeling frustrated inside.

At the same time, his gaze turned to Dao Qingling and he said, "Back in Shenzhou, I lost to the princess by one move. Now, several years have passed, and I have made great progress. I wonder if I can have another battle with the princess?"

"Qingling, what do you think?" Zhou Qing asked, looking at the slender figure beside him.

Dao Qingling was in a hazy, dreamlike state, as if he were in a boundless and distant immortal realm. His ethereal voice rang out: "Another battle would have the same result. Since he wants to experience defeat again, I will not hesitate to give him the chance."

"Haha, Yin Tiande, did you hear that? I'll give you a chance to fight for this opportunity. As long as you can hold out for half a day under Qingling's command, what's wrong with giving you a share of the Taiqing Sacred Realm's inheritance?" Zhou Qing laughed loudly.

He keeps his word. If Yin Tiande can really do it, he will not go back on his word. Even if Yin Tiande has obtained Laozi's inheritance, he has only narrowed the gap with him slightly, and is still far behind.

Moreover, with his martial arts supernatural vision, Yin Tiande's cultivation level could not be hidden from him at all. It was precisely because he saw through the strength of both sides that he made this promise.

However, these words were extremely grating to Yin Tiande, as if he, Yin Tiande, had to rely on others' charity to earn a chance to receive the inheritance. This was a great disgrace!

"Since that's the case, then I won't hold back either." Yin Tiande's aura suddenly changed, becoming oppressive, like an ancient mountain standing on the earth, with a dragon-shaped blood aura soaring up from the top of his head, obscuring half the sky.

His blood and qi are incredibly powerful; dozens of powerful beings might not possess the same level of power as him alone. If such strength were revealed to the outside world, the entire Ziwei Ancient Star would be shocked.

The reason he was confident enough to fight the Princess of Shenzhou again was because his foundation had far surpassed the level of a great being.

Although his realm is still at the half-step Dao-Slaying stage and he has not yet taken that step, his foundation has already accumulated to the level of the second level of Dao-Slaying.

As far as he knew, even the current Palace Master of the Human King Palace, whose achievements were so great that he shook the world, only had the foundation of the first level of the Dao Severing Realm.

In other words, he is now fully capable of defeating all the world's religious leaders!

And this year he is only twenty-four years old. With such talent and such a speed of cultivation, all the current geniuses of Beidou would have to admit defeat.

Even Zhou Qing had to admit that Yin Tiande's talent was indeed exceptional. In the past, such a person would very likely have become the final emperor.

Even within this entire era, Yin Tiande's talent would rank him among the top 500. Keep in mind that this includes countless emperors, saints, overlords, gods, and countless young supreme beings who, due to the obstacles of the heavens, could only achieve enlightenment through unconventional means over millions of years.

Even if it's only the first five hundred years of the epoch, it takes a handful of outstanding individuals from that era to enter.

Unfortunately, Dao Qingling's foundation was deeper than his, having already accumulated enough to reach the level of the third level of the Dao Severing Realm.

The outcome of this battle is easy to predict. Both are top-tier Eighth Forbidden Realm experts. If they were at the same level, they could fight for days and nights without a clear winner; it would require sheer willpower.

Only mental strength such as perseverance, fearlessness, and magnanimity can determine victory or defeat.

However, if there is a gap in cultivation level, then it is difficult to defy the heavens.

After several dozen moves, Yin Tiande began to fall into a disadvantageous position. The wind rose and the clouds surged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and towering ancient trees rose from the ground, containing unparalleled power.

Every time Dao Qingling made a move, it was as if she were creating the world and shaping all things. A mysterious and unfathomable power flowed endlessly, like a vast ocean, with wave after wave rising higher and higher.

Zhou Qing thought the battle should be over, but just then...

"Drink!" Yin Tiande roared, his black hair flying wildly, and the might of his roar shattered mountains into dust.

A single roar shatters mountains and rivers!

This was an unparalleled power. His body shone with divine light, and his power suddenly surged by a large margin, breaking through Dao Qingling's blockade and forcing her back dozens of steps.

“Divine Forbidden!” Zhou Qing’s eyes were deep as he slowly uttered these two words.

"What? It's a divine restriction! What should we do? Miss won't lose to him, will she?" Xiaoyu was a little panicked.

The reputation of the Divine Forbidden Realm is too great. Once someone enters this realm, no one knows how much power they can unleash, but there is no doubt that they will at least reach the level of the Ninth Forbidden Realm.

If one's sealed potential does not exceed the Eight Forbidden Limits, it is impossible to unlock the Divine Forbidden Limits, which are the power to break all human limitations.

Zhou Qing activated his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye and saw clearly that Yin Tiande now possessed the power to kill enemies across nine realms, and was even just one step away from killing enemies across ten realms.

If judged purely by strength, Yin Tiande's moves are already one level above Dao Qingling's.

However, Dao Qingling's Great Dao of Creation is infinitely mysterious, creating mountains and rivers, creating stars, creating the universe. Under Yin Tiande's powerful offensive, she used skill to overcome force, and her combat wisdom was pushed to the limit, bringing the battle to a balance.

Within twenty moves, Yin Tiande's momentum waned once again.

The time for the divine restriction has come; even if he is at the half-step Dao-severing stage, he cannot maintain it for long.

It should be noted that a person at the second or third level of a powerful realm who activates the Divine Restriction can only unleash two or three attacks. The fact that he can unleash more than ten moves is already quite impressive.

Even more coincidentally, at this moment, a terrifying and chilling aura suddenly erupted from Dao Qingling's body. Her battle qi surged, instantly breaking through the innate shackles of the Eight Forbidden Zones. Her power surged out like a flood bursting its banks, unleashing a strike that made heaven and earth tremble.

The instant Yin Tiande withdrew from the divine forbidden domain, Dao Qingling suddenly entered it.

As a result, all the barriers in front of Yin Tiande shattered before his eyes. He roared and unleashed all sorts of ultimate techniques, but in the end, he was still hit by this force.

"boom!"

Yin Tiande flew high into the sky like a kite with a broken string, coughing up blood that stained his clothes, before crashing to the ground and creating a large crater.

Yin Tiande, another defeat!

It's not that Yin Tiande was weak, but rather that Dao Qingling was too strong. Although there were twists and turns in this battle, it still didn't exceed Zhou Qing's expectations.
