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

Zhou Qing was also somewhat excited. He activated the Divine Phoenix Feather with all his might, piercing through the void of the universe in an instant. Together with the Kunpeng Ancestor, they quickly passed through the atmosphere of the Big Dipper, like two meteorites streaking across the sky and falling into the Eastern Wilderness.

"Sister Xiaoman, look! That's a shooting star! I remember you told me that if you make a wish when a shooting star streaks across the sky, your dreams will come true. Let's make a wish!"

A twelve or thirteen-year-old girl

Looking up at the sky, I felt excited, then closed my eyes and silently made a wish.

Beside her was an extremely beautiful woman, with a graceful appearance and skin as smooth and delicate as jade, like a fairy descending from the moon, possessing an otherworldly aura.

Looking at the cute and lively little girl in front of her, Li Xiaoman's eyes flickered. She thought of her past self, squatted down, and followed the little girl's wishes, closing her eyes and making a wish as well.

"Tingting, what is your wish?" Li Xiaoman asked curiously after opening her eyes.

“I want my older brother to come back. He hasn’t been seen in the Zhou family for eight years. My parents told me that if it weren’t for him, they might be dead by now. He even cured my illness. He is our family’s great benefactor!” Jiang Tingting stared with her clear and bright eyes.

“The God? He was also my benefactor.” Li Xiaoman was in a daze, thinking of that god-like man.

If she hadn't met the God Lord back then, the Crocodile Ancestor's Divine Embryo would have continued to control her. Just thinking about what she would have become is like being plunged into hell.

However, making a wish upon a shooting star is just a beautiful wish; no one knows where the deity is now, what he is doing, or what level he has reached.

Rumble!

Just then, a large area of ​​space shattered, and countless chaotic streams rushed out from within. In this chaotic stream, a handsome and elegant young man appeared, like a god descending to earth. He exuded an aura of conquering the three thousand worlds and being the only one of his kind in the universe, which was awe-inspiring.

"The God?!" Li Xiaoman exclaimed, standing up abruptly.

Chapter 251 I heard that a certain Northern Emperor has become arrogant again?

Upon seeing Zhou Qing suddenly appear before her, Li Xiaoman couldn't help but stand up and exclaim in surprise.

This was too dreamlike. One moment she and Tingting were making wishes upon shooting stars, and the next moment the God appeared right in front of them.

Is this real? Or is it her hallucination?

She could hardly believe that the invincible god who had disappeared for eight years, whose fame remained undiminished and who was revered by countless people in the Eastern Wilderness, would appear before them by such a coincidence.

"brush"

Almost at the same time, another figure rushed out of the void, this time a middle-aged man she had never seen before.

However, the pressure emanating from this middle-aged man was terrifying, as if a star field was being created and destroyed. She had only felt this aura once by chance when she passed near the Zhou family's forbidden area, and it made her almost unable to breathe.

This person was none other than the Kunpeng Ancestor. He had just emerged from the void and saw two people in front of him who were almost kneeling down due to his aura. He immediately withdrew his holy might.

Zhou Qing's eyes shifted to Li Xiaoman's clothes. It was a black outfit, ordinary in style, but with a golden divine sword shining brightly on the back.

"Enforcer? Your training over the past few years has been quite good; you have enough strength to take on this position."

With just one glance, Li Xiaoman felt as if she had been completely seen through, as if no secret could be hidden from the man in front of her. This terrifying sense of oppression immediately brought her back to her senses, making her realize that she was definitely not dreaming.

The God Lord is practically invincible in the Eastern Wilderness. He has long been famous throughout the Five Regions and reigns supreme in the world. Even the great Holy Lords dare not show off their seniority in front of him.

Even after so many years, countless geniuses have emerged in the Eastern Wilderness, shining brightly one after another, but only the God Lord has become synonymous with the Eastern Wilderness.

Not only did the geniuses from other major regions admit defeat, but even the geniuses of the Eastern Wilderness could not compete for this title, because even now, their cultivation level has not caught up with the God Lord eight years ago. They are still two major secret realms and more than twenty minor realms behind, and the gap is simply too great.

“Yes, I have never slacked off in my cultivation these past few years and have always worked diligently to contribute to the Zhou family. I am honored to have been valued by a Supreme Elder, which is why I became a law enforcer of the Zhou family.” Li Xiaoman lowered her head and said respectfully.

"Among you dozen or so visitors from beyond the realm, besides Ye Fan, you and Pang Bo have the most potential. But when it comes to the will to prove the Dao, even Ye Fan is not as strong as you. If you want to catch up with Ye Fan, you must seize every opportunity to cultivate diligently. Only then will you have a slight chance," Zhou Qing said calmly.

Back then, when the Crocodile Ancestor's divine embryo was crushed by the Zhou family patriarch, most of its essence entered Li Xiaoman's sac, making her foundation very solid.

When it comes to talent for cultivation, a hundred Li Xiaomans couldn't catch up with one Ancient Sacred Body. However, Ye Fan hasn't decided to dedicate himself to the path of cultivation yet. His fundamental goal in cultivation is to return to Earth and visit his parents. If this goal isn't achieved, the desire to attain enlightenment will never be his top priority.

Li Xiaoman, however, placed cultivation at the top of her mind, cultivating in order to achieve immortality and become an ancestor.

In recent years, she has devoted herself to rigorous self-cultivation and made countless contributions.

He exchanged resources for cultivation, and in the eyes of his classmates, he was the most hardworking among them.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the gap between her and Ye Fan continued to widen. For example, in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, Ye Fan had enough resources to reach the fourth level in a month, while Li Xiaoman, no matter how ruthless she was, would not be able to pass through this secret realm in less than two or three years.

"Big brother, it's been so long since I've seen you. Do you still remember who I am?" Jiang Tingting also stood up, looking at Zhou Qing with a smile, her eyes full of intelligence.

"Isn't this Tingting? How could I forget you? I used to hold you so many times when you were little." Zhou Qing looked at Jiang Tingting, smiled, and picked her up in his arms, his expression kind and gentle.

Tingting is different from Li Xiaoman. Li Xiaoman is just an ordinary cultivator in the Zhou family and does not receive any special treatment. She has to find ways to contribute to obtain any resources she wants.

Tingting, on the other hand, is the little princess of the Zhou family. She grew up by the side of the Zhou family patriarch and is essentially the patriarch's personal disciple. Her talent is unparalleled in the world, and her training is no less than that of Ye Fan.

"Big brother, where have you been? You've been gone for so long. People outside are saying you failed to achieve enlightenment and have already passed away." Jiang Tingting pouted, looking dissatisfied.

"I went to cultivate on another ancient life-bearing planet outside the realm. I will only return after I have fought until I am invincible. As for those who say that I failed to achieve the Dao, ignore them. They are just a bunch of pathetic worms who are afraid that I am still alive," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Another ancient planet inhabited by life?!

Li Xiaoman's heart trembled, as if a turbulent sea had been turned upside down. She didn't have time to think about what the phrase "fighting until you are invincible under heaven" meant, and asked urgently, "May I ask, God Lord, what ancient life planet did you go to? Was it Earth?"

“No.” Zhou Qing shook his head and continued, “I went to the Ziwei Ancient Star Region. In the vast universe, to accurately reach a star, you must know the coordinates, otherwise it will be very difficult to find it.”

Li Xiaoman felt very disappointed and sighed deeply. After being away from Earth for nearly ten years, it would be a lie to say that she didn't want to go back and see it at all.

However, this world is more attractive to her, and knowing that she can't possibly traverse the stars on her own, she doesn't really want to go home.

Hearing the words of the deity, the hope that had finally begun to rise was instantly shattered.

"Tingting, here, this is a flawless imperial scripture for you. It is perfectly suited to your physique and can help you unleash your full potential."

Zhou Qing pointed a finger at Tingting's brow, and a stream of light quickly entered her brow along his finger. A series of chanting sounds rang in her sea of ​​consciousness, as if an ancient sage emperor was sitting on a celestial platform, explaining the true meaning of the Great Dao.

She closed her eyes and focused intently on comprehending the profound mysteries of the Taiyin True Scripture. Her body began to emanate an extremely yin and cold power from the inside out, causing even the void to frost over and the air to condense into ice crystals.

Li Xiaoman watched this scene with immense envy. That was a flawless imperial scripture! The God Lord had given it away so easily. To this day, she didn't own a flawless imperial scripture, only managing to exchange fragmented sections of text from the Zhou family's treasury.

After Jiang Tingting woke up, Zhou Qing took out a small, flawless white jade carving.

He placed it in her hand and said with a smile, "This is the Vajra Bracelet, a divine weapon of kings. Its material is the rare Nine Heavens White Jade Disc. If you nurture it well, it has a very high chance of becoming a legendary holy weapon in the future."

Jiang Tingting held the small jade in her hand, turning it over and over, feeling the immense divine power contained within it, and she was extremely pleased with it.

Li Xiaoman was even more envious. She had never even touched such a weapon before, and Jiang Tingting had obtained one so easily, making it hard for her to control her expression.

Next, Zhou Qing turned to look at her, took out a piece or two of golden roasted meat with colorful steam rising from it and a fragrant aroma, and said, "This is for you. It is the flesh and blood of an ancient god-demon descendant that I killed in the starry sky. Although I have refined the killing intent, the essence in it is still incredibly rich. Remember to eat it little by little, or you will eat yourself to death."

Li Xiaoman's eyes lit up as she quickly took the piece of roasted meat. Even just smelling the aroma made her feel her magical power circulating rapidly, and the bottleneck in her cultivation level was loosening, which made her even happier.

Even just from the description, she knew that this meat was definitely not simple. It was the descendant of ancient gods and demons living in the starry sky. What kind of existence could survive in the starry sky? Even the most powerful expert of the Zhou family could not do it.

After doing all this, Zhou Qing turned to the Kunpeng Ancestor and said, "Kunpeng Ancestor, this is my Zhou family. After we go inside, I will introduce you to my Zhou family ancestor, who is also a peak Great Sage. You should have something in common with him."

"Don't worry, I'll do whatever you say. I never expected your Zhou family to have a flawless Quasi-Emperor array pattern. This is not something an ordinary Quasi-Emperor could set up." The Kunpeng Ancestor looked at the floating island group covering hundreds of miles of the Zhou family and clicked his tongue in amazement.

In his eyes, these countless floating islands, along with the mountains that resembled ancient demonic mountains, together with the core, the eternally unfallen divine city, formed a powerful array. Once truly activated, it would be enough to cleave down countless stars, and even a Great Sage would instantly perish within it.

Many forces have produced Quasi-Emperors, but very few possess complete Quasi-Emperor array patterns. For example, the Ice Demon Palace in the Ziwei Star Region has Quasi-Emperor array patterns so incomplete they are practically nonexistent; a Great Sage could easily smash those Quasi-Emperor array patterns to pieces with a single slap.

Anyone who can inscribe a quasi-emperor array pattern and use heaven-defying methods to keep it intact and not be destroyed by the heavens is almost at that level, even if they are not a great emperor. The power left behind by such a person is something that even a great saint cannot be arrogant about. Even if a great saint is holding an ultimate imperial weapon, he would be at a loss when faced with a flawless quasi-emperor array pattern and would not be able to break through it at all.

A smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face. He had only been able to discern some clues about this Quasi-Emperor array pattern after he became a Saint and the sixth-generation Source Master in history.

The Zhou family patriarch had never mentioned this to him before, perhaps to put some pressure on him and motivate him to focus on his cultivation.

"Let's go home and visit," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

They were now located on a small island at the outermost edge of the Zhou family's island group. After saying this, Zhou Qing and the Kunpeng Ancestor disappeared instantly.

Jiang Tingting and Li Xiaoman exchanged a glance and then burst into laughter.

"I've heard that the Qishi Mansion in Zhongzhou has been very..."

Many people are talking about the younger generation of the five major domains, trying to determine who is the number one person in the world. Now that the God Lord has returned, I wonder if they still have that courage. "Li Xiaoman said slowly.

However, after thinking for a moment, she shook her head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Perhaps in the eyes of the God now, those are just children's games, and he doesn't even care about them."

Putting everything else aside, the piece of roasted meat in her hand is definitely not comparable to the flesh and blood of a powerful being. It must be at least the flesh and blood of a Dao-Slaying King, or even possibly an ancient saint-level being.

Since the God Lord is already capable of slaying such beings, it's hard for her to imagine where his gaze should now be directed.

"The number one in the world? Eight years ago, that was already something my older brother had already mastered," Jiang Tingting scoffed.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she continued, "But even if Big Brother doesn't want it, this title will definitely fall into the Zhou family. I believe in Big Brother's strength!"

As soon as she uttered the words "Ye Fan?", Li Xiaoman couldn't help but let out a self-deprecating laugh.

Even though she has cultivated desperately over the years and has now reached the Dragon Transformation Realm, becoming an enforcer of the Zhou family, she may still not be able to withstand a single move from her former boyfriend.

Even in the Qishi Mansion, where geniuses from the five regions of Zhongzhou gather, he is the most dazzling star, leaving all the heroes speechless. If he didn't have such potential, he wouldn't have received the Zhou family's all-out effort to cultivate him, with the Nine Secrets of the Emperor's Scripture being directly handed to him for cultivation, a world of difference compared to her cultivation conditions.

The Central Heavenly Yang Hall is a hall that the Zhou family only opens when discussing important matters. Once this hall is opened, it means that all powerful figures who have nothing to do are being summoned.

This main hall is rarely opened. It was opened once in the past when Zhou Qing broke through to the fourth level and truly met with the powerful figures of his family. Then it was opened once after he destroyed the two great assassin dynasties and reported his victory. And now, this is the third time.

"Damn it, that Wang Teng, who calls himself the Northern Emperor, is fine with us. We don't care about such empty titles. But this dog dares to challenge my Zhou family's Divine Lord Zhou Qing. More than ten years have passed. Has he forgotten how he was beaten and forced to flee in a sorry state back then?" A burly man cursed, exuding a black murderous aura. He seemed to want to pick up his axe and chop it down on the spot.

This is a powerful being over a thousand years old, known for his fiery temper. He respects Zhou Qing the most and cannot tolerate the slightest word that belittles Zhou Qing. Yet, even now, despite being so angered, he hasn't actually made a move, which shows that he is indeed wary of Wang Teng.

"It's alright. He was Qing'er's defeated opponent back then, let alone now. He has only reached the peak of the Great Power realm. Because Qing'er has remained silent all these years, he thought that Qing'er was still at the peak of the Great Power realm. He thought that he finally had a chance to avenge himself." Zhou Wuji, dressed in flowing white robes, exuded an ethereal and sacred aura, like a banished immortal. His words were like a gentle spring breeze, calming the burly man down.

Zhou Wuji seemed to possess a unique aura, and his words immediately silenced everyone.

"Patriarch, give us a clue, what exactly is the Divine Lord's current realm?" a powerful, robust man asked.

Many of those present were unaware of Zhou Qing's movements, only knowing that he had gone to sever his Dao, but only the family head and the patriarch in the forbidden area knew exactly where he had gone to do so.

“I don’t know either, but a few years ago, you all saw the strange phenomenon of the Soul Lamp. The light illuminated the entire sky, and the temperature of the whole world was rising sharply. Even the Supreme Yang Sword rang because of this. This must be the kind of noise that can only occur when a great power breaks through the limit.” Zhou Wuji’s hair flowed with golden light, as if he were a sun god in the world.

"Indeed, I have broken through the limits of a great being."

Just then, Zhou Qing led the Kunpeng Ancestor into the Zhongtian Yangji Palace and slowly said, "Everyone's eyes turned to him, and they were overjoyed and excited when they saw him."

Chapter 252 Passing on the Technique to the Family

"Is it Zhou Qing?" The powerful figures couldn't contain their excitement and crowded around him.

For a moment, the place seemed to have turned into a bustling vegetable market, with no solemn or serious atmosphere at all, and was filled with noise.

Even the Zhou family's living fossils, who are around three thousand years old, are old enough to remain calm and composed even if Mount Tai collapses before them, but at this moment they could not help but be happy, and smiles appeared on their faces.

“It’s me.” Zhou Qing nodded.

With a wave of his hand, pieces of roasted meat, radiating five-colored rays, flew accurately into the hands of each person.

"This is a gift for our elders: the flesh and blood of an ancient god-demon descendant who had cultivated to the Saint King realm, whom I personally killed in the universe."
