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

A dimensional gate opened, and the group passed through space to arrive at the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, where a massive imperial city appeared before them.

Zhou Qing stepped into the Imperial Preceptor's residence, while the other two went to the palace to find Princess Yue Shi.

"Where numbers converge, there lies the origin of change. Qian represents Heaven, Kun represents Earth, and the combination of Qian and Kun brings peace. The Five Elements, each with its own nature and function, exist within the world."

The old imperial advisor looked at the "Book of Destiny" in his hand, his brows furrowed, deep in thought, pondering its profound mysteries.

As soon as Zhou Qing entered the room, he saw this scene and couldn't help but smile.

The old imperial advisor is still deeply studying this celestial book, but he seems quite troubled.

"Hmm?" The old Grand Preceptor sensed someone entering the room, looked up, and froze in place.

"What a coincidence! It's you! I just happened to have something I wanted to ask you. You've come at the perfect time." After his initial surprise, the old Grand Preceptor became excited.

Chapter 241 Ziwei's Farewell

Seeing the old national advisor so excited, Zhou Qing didn't immediately mention saying goodbye. Instead, he carefully explained the few sentences that the old national advisor couldn't understand.

However, the old national advisor did not grasp the meaning on the spot. The deeper one goes in the art of divination, the more one has to rely on their own understanding.

It's like a very difficult math problem. Even if someone writes out the solution step by step, you might not be able to understand it. The Heavenly Secrets lineage especially relies on talent.

"By the way, it's a bit difficult to understand just by talking about it, so I'll demonstrate it for you using a Destiny Rock," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Then, a figure flew out of his body, holding an ancient gray rock, and a wave of divine destiny permeated the entire courtyard.

"Could this be the legendary Destiny Rock?" The old national advisor looked shocked and flashed to the rock like a ghost. He placed one hand on the rock and his body shuddered.

The figure that emerged was a Dao body formed from pure energy. Previously, it had been inside him, holding the Destiny Rock and comprehending the Great Dao Laws contained within it.

After this Daoist body emerged carrying the Destiny Rock, it began to use it as a demonstration object, activating the laws related to destiny and fate contained within it, forming a constantly changing ball of light of laws in the void.

Zhou Qing's Dao body directly presented these laws to the old national teacher, and then explained them in detail and very thoroughly. The old national teacher also showed an expression of sudden realization.

Zhou Qing's true form walked to the side, picked up the "Book of Destiny," quickly flipped through it, then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, when he opened his eyes again, a hand swept across the book, and the pages turned rapidly once more.

However, this time it was different. The characters became blurred, wriggling as if they had no form, and gradually turned into strange tadpole-shaped characters.

This is Dao script, or Dao patterns, which is both a special kind of writing and a manifestation of the laws of destiny. It transforms the original ordinary written description into a written description that carries the Great Dao.

The reason for this change is that, having reached his level, he increasingly felt the limitations of language. Ordinary words often fail to clearly express the evolutionary process of the Great Dao, and only Daoist texts can allow people to truly experience the flow of the Great Dao on the pages of a book.

After a while, Zhou Qing's Dao body, embracing the Destiny Rock, returned to his body and continued to comprehend the Destiny Rock.

"You are truly a person of great fortune, to be able to find something like the Destiny Rock. If you can comprehend the laws within it, breaking through to the Heavenly Mystery Master level will be no problem, and in the future you may even achieve a realm similar to that of the Source Emperor in the Source Technique lineage," the old Grand Preceptor exclaimed.

The old imperial advisor walked over and, seeing the changed "Book of Destiny," began to slowly turn the pages from the first page with some curiosity.

Zhou Qing stood on the other side, silent, observing everything with a smile, wanting to see how the old Grand Preceptor would react to this change.

"call"

A strange wind arose, seemingly from nowhere, blowing from the void in all directions, causing the old Grand Preceptor's robes to flutter.

got up.

But now the old national advisor seems to be so engrossed in the celestial book that he is completely oblivious to everything around him.

"Kacha!"

A streak of crimson lightning descended from the clear sky, as thick as a mountain range, carrying an aura of annihilation!

Zhou Qing raised one hand, as if holding an eraser, and after tracing it across the void, the crimson lightning was erased out of thin air.

"Have you interfered with the destiny I've been watching?" Zhou Qing said softly.

This attack appeared effortless and casual, but it was actually caused by drawing upon the power of the Gate of Destiny.

He altered the laws of Heaven, thus erasing the Heavenly Punishment of Slaughter that should have descended upon the old Grand Preceptor.

If they don't do this, given the old Grand Preceptor's current state of being immersed in the Heavenly Book, he simply won't be able to withstand this divine punishment. And if Zhou Qing were to forcefully block this divine punishment for the old Grand Preceptor, it would only be seen as a provocation, and then an even more insane and massive divine punishment would descend.

This is the path of advancement for a Celestial Master. Compared to the tribulations of cultivation methods, which contain both destruction and life, the advancement of a Celestial Master involves nothing but divine punishment. Lightning is already considered a relatively easy divine punishment to overcome.

Historically, the divine punishment experienced by divination masters was sometimes intangible and invisible, affecting their relatives, friends, and disciples, causing the premature death of some of their offspring and serious injuries or even death to their relatives and friends.

On the contrary, he was generally spared punishment except when he gleaned major secrets or wrote works like the "Book of Destiny" that were not tolerated by the world.

After the divine punishment of the "Book of Destiny," he gradually mastered the use of the Gate of Destiny and was able to unleash all sorts of mysterious and unpredictable methods. It would be virtually impossible for future divine punishments to find him.

As the sun set and dusk fell, the old imperial advisor finally spoke.

"So that's how it is! Fate, destiny, human destiny, and human fortune—they're all connected in this way. Only now do I truly realize what a supreme secret manual this is!" The old Grand Preceptor shook his head and chuckled.

"Thank you for blocking that heavenly punishment for me earlier, otherwise I would have died here during this attempt to advance my Heavenly Mystery Realm." As soon as the old national teacher's mind returned, some changes in the outside world flooded into his mind, letting him know what had happened before.

This made him somewhat fearful. In the past, every time he advanced to the Heavenly Mystery Realm, he had to make ample preparations in advance, and he had to outwit and outmaneuver the heavens, trying every possible way to overcome the tribulations.

This sudden enlightenment came unexpectedly; if it weren't for the Demon Lord, he would have perished.

"Very good. Now you can even deduce the secrets of the Saint King realm without taking any damage. With you here, the Ziwei Divine Dynasty will have more opportunities in future changes and its chances of survival will greatly increase." Zhou Qing nodded in praise.

"Are you leaving the Ziwei Star Region?" the old imperial advisor asked.

With his advancement in the Heavenly Mystery Realm, his perception of the unseen world became stronger, which is why he asked such a question.

“That’s right. I’m here to say goodbye. Be careful with your lifespan. Although I gave you a king-level medicinal herb, if you glimpse too many secrets, your lifespan will still decrease rapidly,” Zhou Qing said.

The old imperial advisor suddenly laughed and said, "Don't worry, the future..."

"As long as this peerless genius does not descend, I will not die. The promise our lineage has made to the Ziwei Divine Dynasty's royal family for hundreds of thousands of years must be fulfilled in my generation!"

Zhou Qing did not respond. His figure gradually faded, becoming more and more transparent, and finally disappeared from the scene.

At the same time, outside the imperial city, his figure suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of the other two.

"You finished your business in the Ziwei Divine Dynasty so early?" Zhou Qing asked, somewhat surprised.

“We returned here quickly after saying goodbye to Yue Shi, but it seems you did something else. Was that blood-red divine punishment related to you?” Dao Qingling asked.

"Princess Yue Shi also gave me a Sea God Pearl, which is said to come from Sea God Island in the North Sea. It contains profound water laws and is like a condensed version of a vast ocean," Xiao Yu said happily.

She held a light blue, egg-sized bead in her hand. It was crystal clear and glowed. As she played with it, streams of blue water flowed out from it, forming all sorts of vivid and lifelike marine creatures.

Zhou Qing glanced at the bead; it was indeed a fine treasure. It seemed that Princess Yue Shi also cared about their relationship.

"I helped the old Grand Preceptor improve his cultivation level, so it took a little longer," Zhou Qing replied, explaining to Dao Qingling.

Then he prepared to leave.

However, at this moment, he thought: "According to the old national advisor, a peerless genius will surely descend upon the Ziwei Divine Dynasty in more than 20 years. Why don't I make a prediction and see what kind of person this is?"

Realizing this, he immediately took action.

His consciousness rose higher and higher, and the world before him shrank rapidly in his eyes. The entire view of the Ziwei Ancient Star, the entire view of the Ziwei Star Region, and even the entire universe were all under the "overlooking" gaze of his consciousness.

A vast, illusory river of destiny surged beneath his feet. His consciousness, high above, reached out and severed a tributary, which represented the fate of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.

In this tributary, he glimpsed various future scenarios, while at the same time, a vast force of cause and effect bombarded him from the river of fate, trying to correct everything.

He activated the Gate of Destiny once more, and in an instant, he suppressed the immense power of cause and effect, turning it into a gentle stream. He then took the opportunity to deduce the future into the distant future.

A moment later, his true form suddenly showed a shocked expression, which puzzled the other two women.

"What's wrong with you?" Dao Qingling asked, puzzled.

"The Ziwei Divine Dynasty is destined to produce a born sage!" Zhou Qing exclaimed, unable to control his emotions.

"Born a saint" is not a description of the result of cultivation, nor does it literally mean that one is born a saint; rather, it is a description of one's innate qualities.

This means that even without any opportunity for cultivation, this person can cultivate to the level of a sage without any obstacles, and with a little bit of opportunity, he will become a strong contender for the path to becoming an emperor.

Because of Zhou Qing, the Ziwei Divine Dynasty prematurely unleashed the national fortune that had been suppressed for hundreds of thousands of years. This resulted in the fortune they gathered not being as vast as it was in the original time. Even if Xiao Nannan, the Great Emperor Dao Fruit, were to fall into the starry sky again, she might not necessarily end up in the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.

However, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of generations of divination masters in the lineage of the Imperial Preceptor, this immense fortune will still converge and be bestowed upon one person. This is why the old Imperial Preceptor said that a peerless genius will inevitably descend upon the Ziwei Divine Dynasty in the future.

However, today, Zhou Qing used his supreme power of destiny to predict the future and discovered that this person's talent far surpassed that of a peerless genius, reaching the level of a born saint. Perhaps he will be a strong contender on the path to becoming an emperor in the future.

"It seems that I may have to return to the Ziwei Star Region in the future. If someone with such talent truly descends upon this Golden Age, the legacy I left behind will fall upon that person," Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

Without further hesitation, he opened the domain gate and led Dao Qingling and the others to the Guanghan Palace.

They didn't know many people in the Ziwei Star Region, and Yi Qingwu was one of the people they had spent a relatively long time with, although Yi Qingwu's status didn't seem to be very high during that period.

As before, the Guanghan Palace received them with great ceremony, but they didn't care about the reception. Before long, they asked the Palace Master of the Guanghan Palace about Yi Qingwu's whereabouts and then went to find her.

It was a desolate palace, with a chill that seemed to seep into one's very bones.

This is one of two Moon Palaces. This faction possesses two Moon Palaces as its sacred weapon: one was crafted by the founding patriarch, and the other was replicated by a great sage in later generations.

The Guanghan Palace where Yi Qingwu is located is the real Guanghan Palace that the founding ancestor crafted. It not only contains extremely cold air, but also seems to contain an extremely lonely Daoist charm, as if someone had left indelible Daoist marks here in the past.

"It is said that millions of years ago, this Guanghan Palace was located on the Taiyin Star in the Ziwei Star Region. The founder of the sect even attained enlightenment through dance and was the head of the Heavenly Court dancers who ruled this star region back then. I don't know if it's true or not. All the past is now just a few words. Perhaps I am just a traveler in time, leaving no trace." Yi Qingwu's mood was a little low.

This is influenced by the Daoist aura left in the Guanghan Palace. It is also a form of cultivation, which aligns with the true meaning of cultivation in the Guanghan Palace, making it easier to comprehend the contents of the scriptures.

As Zhou Qing and the other two pushed open the door, beams of bright yellow light shone in, making them appear like gods.

Yi Qingwu looked up and saw the three of them. A feeling of excitement immediately surged within him, and he smiled, "Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"

“We are leaving the Ziwei Star Region, and we have come here to say goodbye,” Zhou Qing said.

"Leave the Ziwei Star Region?" Yi Qingwu's expression froze, and it took her a while to understand Zhou Qing's meaning.

"Really? I hope we'll have the chance to meet again in the future." Yi Qingwu's emotions were very complicated, like a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy flavors.

Zhou Qing reached out and grabbed at the void, while his consciousness of destiny, located infinitely high above, simultaneously grabbed at the river of destiny beneath his feet. The endless power of destiny converged into torrents, forming runes that expanded and contracted hundreds of times, eventually creating a strange seed of destiny.

"I'm giving you this seed. With its help, your ability to avoid misfortune and attract good fortune will greatly increase, making it easier for you to live longer," Zhou Qing said.

With a single palm strike, he implanted the seed into Yi Qingwu's destiny thread, creating a system identical to Ye Fan's.

Afterwards, Dao Qingling and Xiaoyu also exchanged a few words with Yi Qingwu. After doing all this, Zhou Qing and the other two left.

"One day, I will defeat all enemies in the Ziwei Starfield, become a female saint, and go to Beidou to find you." From then on, this became her deepest obsession.

The memories of the past, that indelible mark, remain in her heart, forever.

Chapter 242 Space Travel

When Zhou Qing and his group arrived on the island, they immediately saw a huge, dark mass of people.
