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

Zhou Qing also stopped, stood with his hands behind his back, staring straight ahead, his voice deafening, which startled Zhou Wuji.

In Zhou Qing's eyes, this vast territory, the ten-thousand-mile-long Lingzhou, and the million clansmen were all within his sight. The area of ​​ten thousand miles was nothing more than a small space to him.

“In the next few years, the Zhou family’s strength will definitely enter a period of rapid development. At that time, I will choose to personally train some promising disciples. The Holy Body will no longer need to stay in the Qishi Mansion, as there is nothing there that they need,” Zhou Qing said.

"Should we send someone to deliver a message and ask them to come back?" Zhou Wuji asked in surprise.

He couldn't believe that Zhou Qing would choose to personally train him. In that case, the Qishi Mansion would indeed seem rather useless. With Zhou Qing's cultivation and talent, how could those ordinary peak experts compare to him?

“No need to send anyone. I have some business to attend to in Zhongzhou, so I’ll just pick them up on the way,” Zhou Qing said.

A figure flew out of his body along with the Gate of Chaos; it was one of his Three Pure Ones bodies.

The gate to chaos opened a crack, and with a "hum," three more figures flew out from it.

"Has it reached Beidou yet?"

Upon suddenly arriving in the outside world, Dao Qingling couldn't help but frown. It was fine if she hadn't cultivated in the Chaotic Immortal Land, but once she had, coming to an ancient star like Beidou where the Great Dao was suppressed would instantly make her feel the enormous gap.

"This is the Zhou family home. This must be your first time here in all these years," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Dao Qingling nodded. Xiao Yu, who was next to her, looked around with great curiosity, feeling very excited. The Sun Saintess, on the other hand, was very quiet, her gaze fixed on Zhou Qing, waiting for his next instructions.

"Qingling should be returning to Zhongzhou next, right? My Dao body will go with you."

"I'm going to the Qishi Mansion in Zhongzhou to discuss some things about the future with an elder. As for Yu'er, you can stay at the Zhou family. I'll arrange your future accommodations and introduce you to the elders of the Zhou family." Zhou Qing quickly finished explaining his thoughts.

Then, Zhou Wuji said with a smile, "You must be Xiao Qi. Over the years, when I went to the Divine Continent Dynasty to discuss matters with your father, he was very generous with his praise for you. Now that I see you, you truly live up to your reputation. You are indeed the number one goddess of the Central Continent. I think there are not many people in this world who can compare to you."

"You flatter me. Qingling has only gotten a little ahead of others. There is still a long way to go." Dao Qingling's white robes fluttered, and she smiled sweetly. Suddenly, the world seemed to lose its color, as if she were a fairy descended from heaven.

"Miss, shall we return to the Divine Continent Dynasty now, or stay with Zhou Qing for a while?" Xiao Yu asked from the side.

"Let's go back now and see how the Divine Continent Dynasty has been doing these past few years. We need to go back and explain some things to our uncles so they won't keep worrying about us."

After answering Xiaoyu's question, Dao Qingling bid farewell to Zhou Wuji, and then left with Zhou Qing's Dao body and Xiaoyu, flying towards the Zhou family's Domain Gate Island.

"Qing'er, who is this?" Zhou Wuji looked at the remaining girl in golden feather robes with delicate features and asked in confusion.

"This is the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Sun Cult, and also my follower. She came here with me from the Purple Star Region." Zhou Qing introduced the Holy Maiden of the Sun to him.

"The Holy Maiden of the Ancient Sun Cult... It really does remind me of my ancestor's situation back then. It's like a cycle repeating itself." Zhou Wuji's expression was somewhat sentimental.

Then, Zhou Wuji's expression softened, and he exchanged a few words with the Sun Saintess in a very friendly tone, showing that he was in a good mood.

Half an hour later, the powerful figures of the Zhou family also emerged from the treasure vault one after another. They all seemed to have gained some insight, and divine light occasionally emanated from their bodies. Many of them seemed to have found the opportunity to break through their cultivation level.

After all, it is the True Scripture of the Sun, one of the two great mother scriptures of the human race, and it has a very close connection with the Supreme Yang Scripture. All the powerful beings gained a lot from it.

Zhou Qing introduced the Sun Saintess to the powerful figures of the Zhou family once again. In this way, the Sun Saintess became known to most of the powerful figures, and she would not be treated as a stranger when she walked around the Zhou family, thus avoiding any misunderstandings.

With a single step, Zhou Qing shifted the space and arrived at God Lord Island with the Sun Saintess. This was his residence, protected by a Saint-level magic array, which was later rearranged for him by the Zhou family patriarch.

There was also a middle-aged man standing outside the island. He was the Kunpeng Ancestor. Zhou Qing had sent him a telepathic message before going to the treasure vault, asking him to come here and wait for Zhou Qing.

Although the magic array couldn't stop the Kunpeng Ancestor, he couldn't possibly break it by force, so he naturally waited outside the island.

With Zhou Qing's arrival, the magic array opened a path under his control, and the three of them landed directly on the island.

"Eight Views Palace." Zhou Qing casually tossed out a stream of purple light, which transformed into an ancient palace shrouded in purple mist after landing on the ground.

The surface of the ancient gate tower is covered with scriptures, giving it a sacred feel.

Its immense, far-reaching, and profound power is the flowing aura of the immortal Dao.

"This palace is not bad; it can serve as a place for future cultivation."

Zhou Qing looked at the Eight Views Palace with satisfaction. This palace was much better than his original palace on the island. After transferring all the items from the original palace here, the Eight Views Palace could become his permanent place of cultivation.

He left the Sun Saintess there, while he and the Kunpeng Ancestor left the God Lord Island.

Looking at the various floating islands, large and small, that the Zhou family owned, which covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles, Zhou Qing made a decision.

"Kacha."

The Gate of Chaos opened a crack, and a small golden tree flew out, landing in the center of the Zhou family's core divine city. It rapidly grew larger, reaching a height of over thirty feet in an instant, becoming increasingly magnificent.

During the creation of the world within the Gate of Chaos, the Fusang Divine Tree received immense benefits, accelerating its growth by at least a thousand years. The fundamental principles of the Immortal Medicine and the world origin of the Chaos Immortal Land mutually reinforced each other, and both benefited.

Some clansmen on other islands glanced at the center of the clan and their eyes immediately went blank.

"What is that? Is it a divine tree? How did it suddenly appear?"

The Fusang Divine Tree stands tall in the center of the divine city, reaching over a thousand feet in height. Its leaves are enormous and possess boundless power, and the vast, holy power of the sun permeates the area.

Under Zhou Qing's control, the solar holy power flowing from the Fusang Divine Tree was very gentle, covering one floating island after another, which surprised and delighted all the people.

As a member of the Zhou family, it was impossible for him not to recognize the Holy Power of the Sun. This was the purest solar power in the world, and even absorbing just a wisp of it could bring considerable benefits to cultivators practicing the Way of the Sun.

However, the power of the Sun itself is also destructive. Given the current growth rate of the Fusang Divine Tree, once Zhou Qing unleashes its destructive power, it will be no weaker than a Great Sacred Weapon. Moreover, as the Fusang Divine Tree grows, its destructive power will continue to increase. When it reaches its complete form, Zhou Qing can hardly imagine how terrifying its destructive power will be.

The Zhou family members were initially terrified when they saw the vast expanse of solar holy power covering them, but after sensing that this solar holy power was not harmful but rather a source that could be absorbed without any obstacles, they all showed expressions of ecstatic joy.

"Hahaha! Is this a dream? Which elder of the Zhou family obtained such a thing? It's too powerful!" some teenagers laughed loudly.

These youths attempted to draw some of the sun's sacred power into their bodies, circulate the "Supreme Yang Scripture," refine it, cleanse their physical bodies, purify their divine thoughts, and their entire being radiated brilliant golden light like the sun.

For a moment, they felt like travelers in the desert who had suddenly found water, greedily absorbing every bit of the sun's holy power, and could clearly feel their realm improving.

"My God, could this be the Fusang Divine Tree?"

Someone looked on in astonishment, staring in shock at the golden divine tree in the center of the clan's territory. But after the initial shock, the person suddenly burst into laughter: "With this divine tree here, how could I possibly fail to break through to the Dragon Transformation Realm within six months? It's too easy!"

The same scene was happening on every island. At that moment, the powerful beings had just parted from the entrance of the treasure vault when they witnessed this scene.

They spotted Zhou Qing next to the Fusang Divine Tree at a glance. Even though they had experienced many shocks before, they were still stunned this time: "The Fusang Divine Tree, the Elixir of Immortality? That's right, that's the Elixir of Immortality! My God, how did Zhou Qing obtain such a thing!"

Everyone was speechless. Just how many treasures did Zhou Qing possess? This question lingered deeply in their minds.

Chapter 254 The Zhou Family Ancestor, a Half-Step Quasi-Emperor

In fact, everyone was quite prepared for Zhou Qing's good fortune, knowing that he must possess countless unimaginable treasures and ancient scriptures.

However, the fact that he brought half of the accumulated wealth of a great sect that had been destroyed for countless years, as well as the two great mother scriptures of the human race, had already shocked them. Everyone thought that Zhou Qing's feedback should end here.

However, they still underestimated Zhou Qing, and by a great deal!

This is truly terrifying! This immortal herb looks completely different from the divine herb seed and the incomplete divine herb that the Holy Body cut out a few years ago. This is actually a perfectly intact one!

The two divine medicines that the Holy Body cut out consumed countless precious resources, and now only the Qilin seed is showing slight signs of activity. Cultivating an immortal divine medicine is too costly and takes a very long time.

Today, Zhou Qing directly threw out a perfectly intact immortal herb, which was completely challenging their psychological limits.

There are so many uses for this, especially since it is the most coveted treasure for cultivators who practice the Way of the Sun. With the Fusang Divine Tree rooted there, it is no problem for the entire Zhou family's cultivation speed to increase two or three times. For some true geniuses, the cultivation speed may even be ten times faster than before!

"The two great mother scriptures of the human race, the Fusang Divine Tree, no wonder you said the Zhou family would enter a period of rapid development. That is indeed true. In the next few years, it will not be a problem for the number of strong people to double. Even if newborn babies can be nourished by the holy power of the sun in the womb, the probability of those newborns becoming geniuses will increase by at least ten times!" Zhou Wuji murmured.

Near the eternally unfallen divine city, the Zhou family patriarch is in seclusion on the island, deeply immersed in the Dao, and his perception of the outside world is very vague.

But then his eyelids twitched slightly, and he opened his eyes, exclaiming in surprise, "Such pure solar holy power? What's going on?"

His divine sense quickly spread out, sweeping across the entire world, and he immediately saw Zhou Qing's figure and the Fusang Divine Tree, gaining some understanding.

"Could this fellow Daoist be the Zhou family's patriarch? What, you've actually reached this point!"

Suddenly, an equally powerful divine sense appeared, revealing its presence. Just as it was about to speak with the Zhou family patriarch, this divine sense suddenly trembled.

The Zhou family patriarch's divine sense contained a special kind of pressure. This pressure was very subtle, but the divine sense power that burst out was emitted by the Kunpeng patriarch. With the Kunpeng patriarch's strength, he could clearly perceive any of the most subtle and minute fluctuations.

Therefore, the Kunpeng Ancestor sensed a great terror!

This subtle pressure made even a peak Great Saint tremble, because it was a pressure powerful enough to turn the entire star field upside down, and it already had a trace of the characteristics of a Quasi-Emperor!

"Has the Ancestor awakened?" At this moment, Zhou Qing also sensed the Zhou family ancestor's divine sense and asked.

He did not feel any pressure, because the Zhou family patriarch was intentionally restraining his pressure, and his insight was still inferior to that of the Kunpeng patriarch.

"brush!"

A middle-aged man with flowing black hair appeared beside them, his body radiating golden light, like the sun in the sky, roaming the four directions. All gods, immortals, demons, and monsters in the world must bow before him.

Under the sun, it turns into dust of history.

Upon seeing the Zhou family patriarch, Zhou Qing was momentarily stunned by a martial aura. Although he quickly recovered, the incident still surprised him.

"Ancestor, has your cultivation level broken through?" Zhou Qing asked.

After the Zhou family patriarch came to the side, he did not rush to answer Zhou Qing's question. Instead, he looked Zhou Qing up and down, and a satisfied look appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. It is not difficult to see a saint who is thirty years old in history, but a saint who is twenty-five years old, as far as I know, even the god of the Divine Race, Du Mu, became a saint at the age of twenty-five."

Having seen through Zhou Qing's cultivation and foundation, and confirming that he had not sacrificed his combat strength in order to quickly improve his realm, the Zhou family patriarch leisurely said, "You have broken through, but it is not a complete breakthrough. I am currently in a continuous process of law sublimation. The road ahead is already bright; what is lacking is only time."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's face immediately lit up with joy.

He had actually anticipated this outcome back in Ziwei. After all, given the Zhou family patriarch's deep affection for him, if he hadn't truly reached a critical point in his cultivation and had a very high probability of taking a half-step forward, he wouldn't have gone into seclusion himself and sent him alone to the Ziwei Star Region.

"Fellow Daoist, I truly envy your realm. I have been a Great Sage for over three thousand years, and my vital energy is already in the process of declining from its peak. I still cannot see the road ahead. It was only recently, when Zhou Qing became a Saint, that the Daoist aura he brought me allowed me to barely see a narrow path," said Ancestor Kunpeng with emotion.

When a cultivator is stuck at a certain realm, there are generally three levels.

The first level is when one is completely unaware that their own Dao has any flaws. No matter how they perceive it, they believe that their Dao is already perfect and there is no room for improvement. The Kunpeng Ancestor was at this level.

The second level is when one has discovered that their Dao is not perfect, that there are areas that need improvement, and that there is room for improvement in their strength. However, it is impossible for them to come up with a concrete improvement plan to elevate their Dao. They cannot do it. This is the current level of the Kunpeng Ancestor.

The third level is not only finding one's own shortcomings, but also finding a practical solution to improve them, making up for the deficiencies in one's Great Dao, and already in the process of becoming stronger. This is the current level of the Zhou family patriarch.

"This is the Kunpeng Ancestor from the Ziwei Star Domain. He came to the Zhou family with me from the Ziwei Star Domain and will continue to follow me as a protector," Zhou Qing said, seizing the opportunity.

The Zhou family patriarch looked at the Kunpeng patriarch and praised, "Fellow Daoist's cultivation is truly remarkable. Ten years ago, I was also at this level, unable to see the future either. But as long as you follow Zhou Qing, you will understand in the future what a great fortune this is."

“Now that the Ancestor has emerged from seclusion, I’d like to tell you that I obtained this Fusang Divine Tree in the Ziwei Star Region. It was a gift from the Holy Emperor himself. From now on, it will be an immortal elixir belonging to my Zhou family. You can now cultivate in seclusion under the Fusang Divine Tree,” Zhou Qing said with a smile.

The Zhou family patriarch had naturally noticed the Fusang Divine Tree long ago and had even recognized it, making some guesses, but after Zhou Qing confirmed it...

He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"With the help of the Fusang Divine Tree, I will be able to complete the final leap and reach the position of Quasi-Emperor in just ten years!" The Zhou family patriarch was extremely confident.

He has already taken half a step on the path to becoming a Quasi-Emperor. Moreover, this stage is different from that of a Half-Saint. There are no major obstacles between a Half-Step Quasi-Emperor and a Quasi-Emperor. All those who reach the Half-Step Quasi-Emperor stage will inevitably reach the final leap after ten to a hundred years.

Even if he is interrupted at this crucial moment, at most he will waste his previous accumulation. He can accumulate again for a period of time and then break through again. As long as he doesn't die, there will always be a day when he truly becomes a quasi-emperor!

Since ancient times, whenever an enemy has reached this stage, no matter the cost, the enemy must be nipped in the bud during the transformation process of a half-step quasi-emperor. Otherwise, as time goes by, this enemy may suddenly become a true quasi-emperor at any time.

Zhou Qing, Kunpeng Ancestor, and Zhou Family Ancestor descended together to the center of the divine city. Gazing at the towering golden tree, their bodies were submerged in the most concentrated ocean of liquid solar holy power, as if three sun gods stood in an ancient universe.

Looking at the Fusang Divine Tree, the Zhou family patriarch became increasingly satisfied. This immortal herb was different from other immortal herbs. Other immortal herbs would condense the essence of the whole body to produce a few fruits, and could only bring about a transformation in a few people.
