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

After a while, the young prodigy of the Jiuli Dynasty departed.

Time passed, and the day when the Zhou family would hold their enthronement ceremony drew ever closer.

The invitations sent out by the Zhou family were all delivered to the appropriate factions.

However, most of the forces invited by the Zhou family were from the Eastern Wilderness. Apart from the Divine Continent Dynasty, there were no other forces from the Central Continent, and no forces from other major regions were invited.

Of course, if someone comes uninvited, the Zhou family can't just kick them out; they will still choose to receive them.

This is largely related to the territorial consciousness of the five major domains. The forces in the Eastern Wilderness basically only operate in the Eastern Wilderness, and the forces in the Central Continent also basically only operate in the Central Continent. Even if they cross domains, it is only equivalent to establishing a few branches, and they will not compete with the local bigwigs for anything.

For example, the Immortal Burial Grounds of Qishi Mansion are mostly dealt with by forces from Zhongzhou. Even if the forces from Donghuang know that there are some secrets there, they will not go to Zhongzhou to compete for them.

For example, the Ji family only sent three Supreme Elders to take a stroll. As a result, these three Supreme Elders didn't even get into the depths of the Immortal Burial Ground. They were swallowed up by a Beast King on the outskirts. They were just there for show.

It even led to the two moons nearly being surrounded and killed by the enemy; if Ye Fan hadn't descended like a god and slapped them...

The palm broke through the encirclement; even if the two moons managed to escape, it would consume an unknown amount of their essence.

On the island of the Gods, Zhou Qing took out the Mountain and River Map and infused it with the power of a sage. One of the lifelike figures in the map suddenly seemed to become flesh and blood, flying out of the map and growing to the size of a normal person.

"Master, is there anything I need to do?" This person's aura was incredibly vast, and his body contained the power to pluck stars and seize the moon.

"There's nothing I need to tell you to do right now. You can just stay on the island and cultivate on your own," Zhou Qing said calmly.

This person was Chen Yuan, the sage of the Taiyin Divine Sect. In the end, Zhou Qing twisted his will with the Great Dao of Destiny and began to worship Zhou Qing as his master from the bottom of his heart.

Zhou Qing gave him time to consider, but more than three years passed and he still showed no sign of submission. So Zhou Qing had no choice but to take the initiative to twist his will.

For him, Saint Chenyuan could help him handle some miscellaneous matters in the outside world, and occasionally act as his hidden dagger, doing some shady things.

Finally, the day of the Holy Lord's enthronement ceremony has arrived!

Powerful figures from the Eastern Wilderness gathered, and elders from various major forces arrived, making Zhou Family's Divine Island a lively place.

People kept arriving on clouds, the sky was filled with auspicious clouds, and they were all powerful figures who could turn the world upside down, just like immortals attending a gathering.

Occasionally, one can even see a magical path traversing the void, indicating that a truly powerful being is traveling.

Their destination was a floating palace complex, with clouds and mist floating beneath it, as if they were in the heavens.

Above the clouds, exotic flowers and trees are planted, their shimmering light sparkling and translucent, and medicinal herbs are everywhere. This abundant medicinal energy is highly beneficial for cultivation.

There are also strange beasts that resemble three-legged golden crows, qilin, and divine phoenixes traveling around. It is said that these strange beasts have a trace of the bloodline of those immortal beasts in their bodies. Whether this is true or not is not important, but as long as these strange beasts look like them, that is enough.

"Elder Ji Hongtian of the Ji family from the Southern Region has come to visit!"

"Elder Yang Ling from Yaochi in the Northern Region has arrived!"

"Senior Jiang Yun of the Jiang family from the Northern Region has arrived!"

One important person after another arrived. At a glance, the carriages were pulled by either dragons or exotic birds resembling phoenixes, each one more flamboyant than the last.

"Ye Zi, look! That's Ji Haoyue. He's actually returned from Qishi Mansion temporarily." Pang Bo said, pointing to a valiant man standing among the Ji family members.

"Jiang Yifei has also arrived. According to internal information obtained by the Zhou family, he sparred with the Jiang family's divine body some time ago, and the Jiang family's divine body was completely defeated. Since then, Jiang Yifei's position as the head of the family has been firmly established, and the other branch can no longer shake his position."

"Elder Yang Ling from the Yaochi Holy Land is said to be the God Lord's aunt. My God, it seems to be true!" Pang Bo kept discussing these important figures who had arrived.

After the young elder from the Yaochi Holy Land arrived, Zhou Qing's mother flew over from afar, and the two of them chatted and laughed as they entered the depths of the Zhou family compound.

"The Supreme God King of the Jiang Family of the Northern Region, accompanied by Fairy Caiyun, has arrived!"

Suddenly, a loud welcoming voice rang out, carrying for hundreds of miles. People all looked towards the distance, where a man with sword-like eyebrows and dressed in white was flying over, accompanied by a beautiful woman with thick black hair and a radiant complexion.

"Master Caiyun, it's been a long time." A cloud drifted by at the same time and bumped into Fairy Caiyun and her companions.

Fairy Caiyun looked at the group of people. It turned out that the people from the Wan Chu Holy Land had arrived. The leader was one of the juniors she had taught. He was now over 2,900 years old, with a full head of white hair and a thin body, but he was still bowing to her as a teacher.

Chapter 262 Alliance

The Fairy of Rainbow Clouds has now left the Sacred Land of Ten Thousand Beginnings and no longer cares about its mundane affairs.

However, she still had some affection for the disciples she had once taught, so she said, "Since we've happened to arrive here at the same time, let's go in together."

The elder leader of the Wan Chu Holy Land excitedly agreed.

"It seems that although Master Caiyun has left the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land, she does not harbor any resentment towards it. This is truly good news," the old man thought to himself.

Back then, Fairy Caiyun, mindful of her master's kindness, did not want to fall out with the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beginnings, so she did not agree to Jiang Taixu's request to take her away. Who knew that not long after, Jiang Taixu disappeared, leaving her with regret and torment for four thousand years.

The moment the news of Jiang Taixu's return to the Jiang family spread, Fairy Caiyun disappeared directly from the forbidden area of ​​Wan Chu. Even the Holy Lord of Wan Chu did not notice when Fairy Caiyun left.

Now it seems that after Fairy Caiyun reunited with Jiang Taixu, she did not harbor resentment towards the Wan Chu Holy Land because of the four thousand years of torment, which relieved the leading elder.

After entering the Zhou family compound, the group separated, with the people from the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land being led deeper into the compound by a powerful figure from the Zhou family.

As for Jiang Taixu and Fairy Caiyun, they were personally welcomed inside by a Daoist avatar of Zhou Qing.

“Senior God King, please follow me,” Zhou Qing said.

They passed through magnificent palaces and arrived deep within the divine city that was said to never fall.

At the very center, six sages were already seated, while Jiang Taixu was the seventh sage to arrive.

The Zhou family patriarch, the Kunpeng patriarch, the Ji family sage, the Yaochi sage, the Zifu sage, Zhou Qing, and Jiang Taixu.

These seven sages sat cross-legged here, and the Daoist aura they exuded would immediately plunge even a Great Perfection King into a state of enlightenment, because each of them could pluck stars from the sky and capture the moon, create small worlds, and operate endless mysteries.

"Brother Zhou Hong, I wonder if our Ji family can pay a price to obtain some branches of the Fusang Divine Tree?" The Ji family sage asked directly.

Given their current state of life, it's easy to guess why they came to the Zhou family. Therefore, the Ji family sage didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the core issue.

Moreover, he only learned after arriving here that the Zhou family's immortal herb was actually the Fusang Divine Tree, which did not bear fruit.

However, this is not a big deal. Although the effect of refining the branches is less than that of consuming the fruit, it still helps to prolong his life.

At the same time, the Sage of Yaochi and the Sage of Zifu also spoke, their purpose being the same as that of the Sage of Ji Family.

With their level of spiritual foundation, ordinary longevity elixirs are ineffective; only the advanced Dao principles and immortal substances contained within the Divine Elixir of Immortality can override the effects of previous longevity elixirs.

Extending lifespan is like taking a miracle drug. After taking it a few times, the drug's effectiveness will decrease until it has no effect at all. Only by replacing it with a stronger miracle drug can it work again.

"You should ask Zhou Qing about this. He brought back the Fusang Divine Tree, and I won't make decisions for him," the Zhou family patriarch shook his head.

"What? It was Zhou Qing who brought it back! This is truly a great fortune and a great destiny!" exclaimed the Ji family sage.

at this time,

The sage of the Ji family was filled with envy and couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if his Ji Haoyue had such good fortune, and could go out for a stroll and bring back an immortal elixir.

Unfortunately, there's no use in envying such things. Some people are like that, with one lucky encounter after another. Maybe they just picked up a piece of broken green copper and it turned out to be a fragment of a celestial artifact. Such people are rare and hard to come by.

"Young friend, do you plan to sell some branches of your Fusang Divine Tree?" the Ji family sage asked Zhou Qing.

"Of course, you only need to agree to one small condition. Don't worry, it won't cost you a single source or any substantial price." Zhou Qing revealed a meaningful smile.

The three sages felt a chill run down their spines; instead of feeling relieved, their hearts tightened.

As we all know, anything that can be bought with resources is nothing special.

Even if we can't buy with resources, we can still afford to barter. These are all long-established and powerful forces, so there must be some things we can exchange.

However, if something cannot even be bartered, it may seem like it's free, but the hidden costs are much higher.

"Young friend, please tell us your conditions first, so that we can consider them," the old woman from the Purple Mansion Holy Land said.

"Everyone, please don't be nervous. I don't want anything in return. I just want to establish a relationship of mutual help with you all. Normally, our families will continue as usual, but when any of our families is threatened by the Ancient Clan, we will unite to resist this pressure together." Zhou Qing showed a kind smile.

The sages of the Ji family, Yaochi, and Zifu fell into deep thought.

“The Jiang family could actually join in, after all, this era is different from the past, it is a great change that has not been seen in millions of years, and it is not a good thing to each mind their own business.” At this moment, Jiang Taixu spoke up.

"Thank you, Senior God King. I see that Fairy Caiyun's cultivation has broken through to the King level. I will give her a piece of Nine Heavens Azure Jade, which Fairy Caiyun can use to forge a suitable weapon."

Zhou Qingxin said happily, and with a wave of his arm, a piece of emerald green jade the size of a human head flew into Fairy Caiyun's hand.

After acquiring some of the resources of the Golden Crow Clan and the Taiyin Divine Sect, the Zhou family obtained a considerable amount of Saint-level materials from the Nine Heavens Divine Jade series.

Biluo is the first heaven in Taoism, filled with azure clouds. This jade, given such a name, must have something unique about it. If it were to evolve to its fullest potential, it could easily become a great sacred weapon in the future.

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly, thinking that the peerless god-king had a truly far-sighted vision, a broad mind, and a great understanding of how to act in the face of changing times.

"What exactly are the details of this alliance?" the old woman from the Purple Mansion Holy Land asked in confusion.

“For example, if several ancient royal families unite to put pressure on your Purple Mansion Holy Land, trying to force you to give up some territory, then my Zhou family will support your Purple Mansion Holy Land. If they still don’t back down, we can also activate the sword energy of the Supreme Yang Divine Sword to exert a stronger deterrent, so that they dare not force you any further,” Zhou Qing said slowly.

The old woman from the Purple Mansion Holy Land had a sudden thought. If that were the case, an alliance seemed like a...

A good choice.

After hearing this, the Ji family sage was also moved. If it was just a matter of offering a few words of support and slightly reviving the Void Mirror, then agreeing to it would indeed be fine.

The Sage of Yaochi pondered for a moment. If it was only a matter of releasing the aura of the ultimate Dao to intimidate the Primordial Clan, then it really wasn't a big deal.

Generally speaking, as long as the attitude is expressed, all parties will be wary, and in the end, no real conflict will occur.

"How about that? When one family suffers, the others immediately show a tough stance. In this way, it's as if we've united. Even if an ancient royal family emerges, we don't need to be too wary or make concessions at every turn," Zhou Qing said.

"Kacha!"

He broke off more than a dozen branches of the Fusang Divine Tree and grabbed them into his hands.

The Fusang Divine Tree is now hundreds of times larger than it was back in the Ziwei Starfield, so breaking off a few branches is no big deal.

The cracking sound drew the attention of the three sages. These branches were their only hope for survival; whether they would live for another few decades or centuries, or pass away within a year or two, now rested on their decision.

Soon, the old woman from the Purple Mansion Holy Land agreed, since this alliance would not only not be a loss for the Purple Mansion Holy Land, but would actually be very beneficial.

With a wave of her hand, Zhou Qing sent three branches, each over ten feet long, into her hands. Sensing the immortal substance within them, her complexion immediately improved, and she smiled.

The sage of the Ji family quickly agreed. As a descendant of the Void Emperor, he certainly couldn't be afraid of the ancient race.

Moreover, since the Jiang family has already joined in, it wouldn't be a loss for the Ji family to join as well.

At the same time, the Ji family sage was also aware that there was a young man in their clan whom even he had to call Little Ancestor. After his birth, there would inevitably be friction with the Primordial Clan, and perhaps one day in the future, they would need to join forces with the Jiang family to deter him.

After some thought, the sage of Yaochi agreed. Half a year ago, a stone king in Yaochi that was said to be the offspring of the immortal emperor was taken away by the ancient clan. If this emperor's son were to bring the ancient royal family to cause trouble for Yaochi in the future, the Jiang family and the Ji family might need to use their supreme imperial weapons to deter the ancient clan.

Seeing that all the saints had agreed, Zhou Qing was also very happy. In this way, if the Primordial Clan offended one of them, it would be equivalent to offending all of them at the same time.

Once the auras of the Void Mirror, the Eternal Furnace, and the Western Emperor Tower are all released, everyone will have to think twice. After all, the ancient races don't know whether this is a false deterrent or a real extreme attack that will be launched.

This powerful weapon is only needed for deterrence.

Moreover, there was also a dragon-patterned black gold cauldron that he had been secretly controlling for a long time. The highest protector of the Ruthless lineage had been converted by him ten years ago and now wholeheartedly served him as his master.
