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

Only the Fusang Divine Tree neither blossoms nor bears fruit. Although the flowing solar holy power is not as concentrated as the essence of those fruits, it has the advantage of being able to nourish the bodies of countless people at the same time. This is the most suitable elixir of immortality for a race, which can subtly increase the potential of everyone.

Then, the three of them, on a whim, began to discuss the Dao under the Fusang Divine Tree, demonstrating their magic to each other. With a wave of their hands, they created and destroyed, scattering heavenly flowers. In the blink of an eye, a speck of dust could be transformed into a vibrant world. The cycle of prosperity and decline, the end of heaven and earth, and countless mysterious and astonishing phenomena occurred.

Although Zhou Qing was only a sage, he did not talk about the depth of the Dao, but rather about its height. This represents the potential of the Dao. The higher the height, the higher the limit that can be reached in the future. If the height of the Dao is too low, one will touch the ceiling early on and it will be difficult to break through in the future.

In this respect, even the Zhou family patriarch was shocked by Zhou Qing. Many things that he had never thought of before, after Zhou Qing explained his path, his way and his methods, he actually felt that his vision had broadened, as if he and Zhou Qing were from two completely different worlds.

Because the Zhou family patriarch's gaze was fixed on the mortal realm, the realm of humanity, while Zhou Qing's gaze was fixed on the heavens, the realm where the path to immortality had ended. The difference in their perspectives was like an insurmountable chasm.

Both the Zhou family patriarch and the Kunpeng patriarch gained a great deal from the Dao, and their vision of the future became increasingly clear.

As for the depth of the Dao, Zhou Qing was the one who humbly sought guidance. The depth of the Dao represents a person's realm, and in this respect, the Zhou family patriarch had gone the furthest, especially in the Dao of the Sun. Zhou Qing was far inferior to the Zhou family patriarch in the Dao of the Sun.

During this process, Zhou Qing directly transmitted the complete Sun Scripture and Moon Scripture to the Zhou family patriarch. In just over ten minutes, Zhou Qing sensed the Zhou family patriarch's...

Their momentum grew even stronger.

"The sun and moon shine brightly, heaven and earth are immortal, dispel darkness and vanquish all evil." As the Zhou family patriarch chanted the scriptures, he temporarily conjured a tiny world, in which he used his own magic power to evolve into the sun and moon, which traveled in all directions, illuminating the world and demonstrating his Dao.

After a while, the Zhou family patriarch finished demonstrating his path, and the Kunpeng patriarch pointed out again, causing thousands of symbols to surge up, clanging like metal, and quickly combining together to form a Kunpeng.

This is a supreme divine bird composed of his Great Sage Laws, resembling a living being, dominating all heroes, suppressing heaven and earth, and possessing extreme majesty.

The heavens and earth roared, and the sound of the Dao never ceased. Under the Fusang Divine Tree, three people took turns practicing the Dao, as if they were creating the world, shaking the universe.

The creature composed of these symbols disappeared into the ocean of the sun's sacred power, and it transformed into a large black fish. This single transformation seemed to contain hundreds of mysteries.

After a long time, it leaped up with a loud bang and transformed into a roc, waving light rain and shaking the Great Dao. Beneath its wings, one after another, large stars rose and fell, like a vast star field.

Time passed, and a day later, it felt to the three of them as if only the blink of an eye had passed, but a huge upheaval had already taken place in the outside world.

The Eastern Wilderness, the Central Continent, and even the other three regions all received a shocking piece of news.

The god-lord who once silenced all the powerful rulers and made the geniuses of the five regions lament has actually returned!

Some are happy, some are sad, and some are indifferent and don't care at all.

In an ancient cave in the Qishi Mansion, a young man with flowing black hair, a chiseled face, and sword-like eyebrows sat cross-legged on a black jade bed. A black battle axe was reflected between his brows, as if leading to the Netherworld, where endless demons howled, causing him to show pain from time to time.

"Big brother, there's news about the god you asked me to keep an eye on! He appeared at the Zhou family yesterday, so he should have come out of seclusion!" A nine-year-old boy ran in from outside the cave and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I understand," Wang Teng replied calmly.

"Huh? Why is Big Brother so calm now?" Wang Chong said in surprise.

"Otherwise what? Even if he comes out of seclusion, so what? I'm not the same person I was back then, so what's there to be afraid of?" Wang Teng said indifferently, seemingly not caring about the matter at all.

Wang Chong was completely baffled. He could only think that perhaps his elder brother's mentality had indeed been tempered after the setback he suffered back then, and he had developed a truly invincible mentality, which was why he appeared so calm.

However, as soon as Wang Chong left, Wang Teng's expression twisted immediately. He suppressed his voice and said, "You stole my divine weapon, dissected my primordial spirit, stole the Emperor's Scripture, and beat me to the point of near death. You were powerful back then, but as long as you haven't severed your Dao, you will never be my match!"

In another cave, Ye Fan was also engaged in his daily cultivation and enlightenment when Pang Bo suddenly burst in, startling him awake.

"Ye Zi, have you heard? The God Lord is back!" Pang Bo, a robust man two heads taller than the average person, with a powerful and imposing physique, now showed an excited expression.

Ye Fan opened his eyes, stood up abruptly, and said with delight, "In that case, we might have to go back to the Zhou family. I wonder what changes will happen to the Zhou family next."

At this moment, Zhou Qing's Dao body had just walked out of the imperial palace of the Shenzhou Dynasty. Here, the Shenzhou Dynasty held the most extravagant state banquet for Dao Qingling's return. The Shenzhou Emperor also kept Zhou Qing there and talked with him all night with a smile. Only now did he leave the imperial palace.

"It's time to go to the Qishi Mansion. After all, this Dao body has a limited lifespan, and if we delay any longer, it will disappear," Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

After becoming a saint, he evolved the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones to a new level. A single Dao body could last for four or five days without disappearing, but ultimately it could not exist forever.

Then, he arrived at the gate of Qishi Mansion. Qishi Mansion was located in a peerless sacred place for cultivation. Immortal mountains stretched out, auspicious clouds swirled, and the scenery was magnificent and beautiful.

The moment he arrived at the mountain gate, he felt a gaze directed at him from inside the Qishi Mansion, and he followed that gaze.

My gaze traveled through mountains and caves, finally settling on a small tavern where I met the eyes of a frail old man.

Chapter 255 A Tragedy Caused by a Single Hair

"You've arrived." An aged voice rang in Zhou Qing's ears.

In his eyes, the old man in the tavern was looking at him kindly, and he knew that the voice was the old man's telepathic message to him.

"Senior, you must be the former head of Qishi Mansion from several generations ago, right?" Zhou Qing asked directly, showing no surprise.

"Ahem, in a few more years, your cultivation will surpass mine, and there's no need to mention your seniority. I never expected you to come to a place like Qishi Mansion." The old man looked to be in his sixties or seventies, with sparse, gray hair, and didn't look like a peerless master at all.

However, within the Qishi Mansion, the only person Zhou Qing addressed as "senior" was this old man.

There have long been rumors that the previous lord of Qishi Mansion was an old sage who lived in seclusion, but few people knew the truth of this rumor and regarded it as a false legend. But today, Zhou Qing actually met this old sage.

This old man had outlived several generations of the lord of the manor, and few people in the world knew that he was still alive, but Zhou Qing had God's perspective and always knew that this old man was still alive.

The main reason he sent a Daoist avatar to the Qishi Mansion was to discuss with it what the future of the human race should be like when the ancient race is born, and what these geniuses should do. This was the most important reason for Zhou Qing's visit to the Qishi Mansion.

“Senior, there’s no need for modesty. You were already an ancient sage thousands of years ago, and you haven’t stood still all these years. You can already be called the king among sages,” Zhou Qing said.

"Back then, Wu Shi was just like you. He didn't become a disciple of the Qi Shi Mansion, but he became a saint at a young age. It wasn't until he became a saint in the Big Dipper that he embarked on this ancient path. Are you going to embark on this path now?" The old mansion master said with some emotion.

The two recent emperors, whether it was Wushi or Qingdi, were not disciples of Qishi Mansion. They forcefully borrowed a path from here and then fought their way into the Starry Sky Ancient Road, which made the seniors of Qishi Mansion feel very strange.

One of the purposes of their Qishi Mansion is to teach the geniuses of the Big Dipper. Once every ten thousand years, the strongest geniuses are sent to the ancient road to compete with the outstanding talents of the universe, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of producing a great emperor!

However, neither of the two recent emperors were trained by them, which made the seniors of Qishi Mansion feel extremely embarrassed, as if to say that only by not becoming a disciple of Qishi Mansion can one attain enlightenment.

Now another equally stunning person has arrived, seemingly destined to follow the same path as these two emperors, leaving the old mansion lord deeply moved.

"No, I don't want to take that path right now. I came here only to bring my two prodigies from the Zhou family back for a while, and then to discuss some matters concerning the Primordial Clan with you, senior." Zhou Qing denied the old mansion lord's guess.

By this time, Zhou Qing had been standing in front of the gate of Qishi Mansion for some time, and many people from Qishi Mansion had seen him.

"How could this be? He actually came to Qishi Mansion?" A man's pupils shrank as he spotted Zhou Qing.

This man was handsome and refined, radiant as the sun, with a golden glow flowing over his body, giving him an otherworldly air.

Even in Qishi

Despite his extremely low-key demeanor, he still attracted a lot of attention and was known as a powerful figure in the Eastern Wilderness who could rival any prodigy for the title of second strongest in the Eastern Wilderness.

"What's wrong with the Holy Son of Yaoguang? Why is he standing still?" Some people who were paying attention to the man wondered. Then, following the Holy Son of Yaoguang's gaze, they were shocked and froze in place as well.

"No way, could this person's appearance be the God Lord of the Eastern Wilderness who has come to the Qishi Mansion?" Someone took out a portrait and compared it with Zhou Qing's appearance.

This was given to him by the leader of the great sect he belonged to before he came to Qishi Mansion. The leader solemnly instructed him that if he encountered this person in Qishi Mansion, he must not have any conflict with him, otherwise even the leader might not be able to save him.

However, he had been in Qishi Mansion for several months and had not seen this person, so he had put the portrait out of his mind. Now, when he took out the portrait again and compared it, his heart immediately started pounding, because the person in front of him was exactly the same as the person in the portrait!

Zhou Qing exchanged a few words with the old mansion master via telepathy, and before even a minute had passed, his figure had already attracted the attention of many people.

Because he was so extraordinary, compared to the somewhat naive prodigies around him, he was like a celestial king descending to earth. Even in the vast sea of ​​countless prodigies, people couldn't help but want to worship him.

Zhou Qing stepped out and entered the Qishi Mansion, observing everything inside.

The Saint-level experts standing in front of the mountain gate felt inexplicably uneasy when they saw him approaching, and consciously made way for him, allowing him to walk in without any hindrance.

Some of these people came from beautiful and serene places, dressed in soft, silk-like brocade robes, looking like elegant young gentlemen. Others came from poor and desolate places, wielding large spiked clubs and wearing animal skin clothes. They were fearless, but none of them dared to block Zhou Qing's path.

"Is this the Eastern Wilderness God Lord that Ye Zi admires? After seeing him today, he is truly invincible. Is there really anyone in this world who can rival him?" This barbarian from the poor mountains and bad waters showed a look of astonishment. He had originally thought that there would be a battle of the titans after Wang Teng's clamor not long ago, but now he showed deep doubt.

The environment of Qishi Mansion was quite nice. Along the way, he saw orchids rooted on stone peaks, old dragons playing in deep pools, phoenixes soaring outside jade palaces, and ancient unicorns lying alone in front of stone platforms.

The mountains rise and fall, with beautiful peaks stretching as far as the eye can see. The earth's dragon energy surges upward, and every outstanding disciple can have a mountain peak as their place of seclusion.

Along the roadside, there were teahouses and small taverns, built against the mountain. Disciples of the Qishi Mansion sat in those buildings, discussing the state of the world.

"Do you think Wang Teng can be called the number one person in the world now? And will someone who can rival him appear in the future?"

"Well, as things stand, it is indeed very difficult to defeat Wang Teng, but he cannot be called the absolute number one. Have you forgotten that on the second day after the establishment of the government, there was a monstrous figure who slapped a royal body to death with one hand without much effort? Now that his identity has been revealed, he is actually the Zhonghuang from nine thousand years ago. I think it is difficult to judge who is the number one between the two of them."

"Not only that, but a prodigy also came to Nanling. Some say it was as early as two..."

I saw him undergoing a great tribulation in the Southern Ridge three years ago.

"You're all talking about those who can fight Wang Teng right now. Have you forgotten about the Holy Body of the Eastern Wilderness? Once he becomes a Holy Lord and reaches the peak of the Great Power, Wang Teng might not be able to defeat him, right?"

The disciples of Qishi Mansion were all talking at once, each expressing their opinion on who was the number one person in the world. Some judged based on current combat strength, while others judged based on future potential, each with their own reasons.

Because the Dao-Slaying realm is too easy to get stuck in, even if you have a great advantage in your previous cultivation, you may be overtaken by those who come later. So even if some people are not at a high level now, such as those with the Holy Body, Yao Guang, or Innate Dao Embryo, they are still regarded as having a bright future.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter most enthusiastically, someone saw Zhou Qing walking over and immediately widened their eyes, freezing in place.

"What are you doing? Why did you suddenly become so quiet?" someone asked curiously.

"The God has come to Qishi Mansion!" Suddenly, the man shouted, startling everyone present.

"What are you yelling about? What business is it of ours who comes or not?" One of them, startled and enraged, blurted out without thinking.

No one responded to him; everyone stared in disbelief as Zhou Qing walked down the path through the Qishi Mansion.

As Zhou Qing looked at the terrain of Qishi Mansion, he clicked his tongue in amazement, paying no attention to the expressions of those around him.

"This terrain is truly a divine land, and the underground dragon veins are truly astonishing. If we could create such terrain in Lingzhou, how could the Zhou family not prosper?"

In his eyes, purple mist rose from beneath every mountain peak in the area where Qishi Mansion was located, engulfing the mountains like ten thousand dragons soaring through the sky.

It can be said that the environment for cultivation on any mountain peak is unimaginable to outsiders, enough to be a sacred place for cultivation of a great sect, the kind that only great beings are qualified to enjoy.

At Qishi Mansion, even a disciple at the Dragon Transformation Realm can cultivate in this environment at any time. It is indeed very suitable for most geniuses, especially those who do not have any powerful forces and cultivate alone, yet still become Saint-level experts. Coming to Qishi Mansion will definitely bring them great benefits.

“However, Ye Fan and Pang Bo don’t need to cultivate here anymore. The cultivation environment in Zhou Family Divine City is much better than that of a mountain here. With the solar holy power of the Fusang Divine Tree, their cultivation of divine sense in the Immortal Realm will not be slower than mine back then. They can quickly grow into great powers within a few years,” Zhou Qing pondered.

"Big brother, big brother, the God Lord has really come!" Inside Wang Teng's cave, Wang Chong rushed in again, almost shouting himself hoarse, his excitement reaching its peak.

"Good! I didn't expect him to actually come to challenge me. Hahaha, today I will avenge him and let him taste the bitterness of defeat!"

Wang Teng laughed loudly, took a step out of the cave, and soared into the sky. In an instant, a brilliant golden pillar of light appeared between heaven and earth, its radiance obscuring the sun and carrying an incomparably vigorous aura that was difficult to look directly at.

In his view, Zhou Qing must have heard about his challenge some time ago, and this trip to Qishi Mansion was specifically for him.

.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to be so eager to challenge me. It seems you're panicking too, worried that I'll break your invincible record and unwilling to give me more time to cultivate, afraid that I'll surpass you!" Wang Teng sneered inwardly.

He imagined a scene in his mind: Zhou Qing was diligently cultivating in a small, dark room, trying to break through the barrier of the Dao-Slaying Realm. However, eight years had passed, and he failed every time he tried to break through, becoming more and more anxious.

Until recently, after he issued a challenge to Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing, who was in the dark room, suddenly became nervous, fearing that he would break through to the Dao even faster. So he quickly came to the Qishi Mansion, wanting to take advantage of the fact that they could still fight at the same level and try to defeat him again.

Thinking of this scene, Wang Teng couldn't help but sneer again, feeling that he had seen through the truth.

Wang Teng's aura permeated the heavens and earth, growing stronger and stronger, as if a celestial emperor had descended, radiant and surging with blood energy, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"That's Wang Teng! He's actually come out of seclusion!" someone exclaimed.

"Could this battle really be coming? The battle between the God Lord and the Northern Emperor, the most epic battle in the world is about to begin!" Some people were filled with excitement, as if they could see the arrival of a golden age.
