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

Another muffled thud, and tiny figures appeared in the world. Some were shrouded in black mist, some radiated endless light, some crackled with lightning, and some burned like flames.

These little figures were chanting a strange language, but everyone could understand it for some reason, because it was the sound of Tao!

"The embodiment of the Great Dao, is this... is this the strength of the Eastern Wilderness God Lord?" The powerful figures from other forces were all shocked. Seeing the unparalleled potential of this family, they couldn't help but sigh, "Is the future God Lord truly going to dominate this era?"

Each of these Great Dao Deities was only the size of a thumb, yet they instilled immense terror in everyone present. The aura of each tiny figure was terrifying beyond measure, even surpassing that of the Holy Lords of various religions.

Their aura was stronger than theirs.

Suddenly, conch-shaped magical artifacts appeared in the hands of half of the little figures, while a phantom heavenly drum appeared in the hands of the other half. They blew the conch shells and struck the great Dharma drum, producing wondrous sounds.

The experts were completely captivated, hearing the profound truths and endless principles of the heavens. Many of them even attained enlightenment on the spot, deepening their cultivation.

Ji Haoyue, Yaochi Saintess, Jiang Yifei and other young people were all immersed in the Heavenly Sounds. Their minds were clear and their spirits were bright. It was as if they had come to the side of the Great Dao and were only one step away from it. Various scriptures and secret techniques were rapidly evolving in their hearts.

The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion was deeply moved, and strands of Dao light flowed out involuntarily from her. Her heart was at peace and serene, like a traveler returning home, deeply attached to this environment.

It seems that only in this environment can she truly be a Dao Embryo, able to connect with the Great Dao with every move, wielding it freely and invincible.

Looking at the tall, handsome man with thick hair, who seemed to be one with the heavens and the earth, she felt an inexplicable fondness for him, like love at first sight among mortals, and her eyes were only on that man.

Within the divine city, beneath the Fusang Divine Tree, the six sages sitting cross-legged were all moved, with the Purple Mansion Sage taking a deep breath.

Originally, she thought that even if Zhou Qing was a saint, he was only a newly enlightened saint and not much stronger than her.

But looking at this imposing force now, she felt that she might not even be able to withstand a single finger from Zhou Qing; the level of terror was simply beyond reason.

"What a terrifying physique! Even the Great Dao is like a plaything in his hands, which he can control at will. Who can stop him?" the Ji family sage exclaimed in horror.

Even Jiang Taixu was somewhat startled. He was handsome and majestic, with a divine aura surrounding him, exuding awe-inspiring power and unparalleled charm.

But now he doesn't think he can easily defeat Zhou Qing.

Saints like them embody the laws of the Great Dao in every gesture, but once they face Zhou Qing, their strength may be reduced by half, because Zhou Qing has taken away all the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Even if they were originally saints of the Eighth Forbidden Realm, they may only have the combat power of the Fourth or Fifth Forbidden Realm left.

"When he came out of Purple Mountain back then, although his physique also showed some surprising phenomena, his cultivation level was too low, and he did not truly demonstrate the power of this physique. Now that his cultivation level is high, he has become so terrifying." Jiang Taixu thought to himself.

The Zhou family patriarch was also taken aback. Since Zhou Qing's return, he had not seen Zhou Qing make a move and never expected that Zhou Qing would have such great power now.

Only the Kunpeng Ancestor had foreseen this. He had witnessed Zhou Qing's entire process of becoming a saint in the starry sky, and it could be said that no one here knew better than him just how terrifying Zhou Qing was.

For example, that descendant of an ancient god and demon at the Saint King realm has begun to revert to his ancestral bloodline, and his strength is truly remarkable. Most Saint Kings would avoid him if they encountered him.

But Zhou Qing killed him in just two or three simple moves.

Therefore, the Kunpeng Ancestor is not surprised at all. If Zhou Qing did not have such strength and potential, why would he leave the Ziwei North Sea and choose to follow this person?

At this moment, apart from the hundreds of golden dragons that were unleashed by the waving of the banner, which were originally part of the Zhou family's ceremonial retinue, all other unusual phenomena in the world were caused by Zhou Qing releasing his sacred laws.

Amidst this awe-inspiring spectacle, Zhou Wuji loudly proclaimed his abdication from the nine-story platform, then let Zhou Qing walk ahead.

After a somewhat complicated ceremony, Zhou Wuji solemnly passed the position of family head to Zhou Qing.

"God Lord!" "God Lord!"...

Throughout the entire Zhou family compound, and across the hundreds of miles of suspended islands, countless members of the Zhou family cheered, their cheers deafening and enthusiastic, like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami crashing.

Throughout Lingzhou, many of the mortals scattered across the cities are members of the Zhou family, but they lack the aptitude for cultivation and are unable to embark on the path of cultivation.

But these mortals were also cheering, because in every city, Zhou family cultivators used secret techniques to draw up a curtain of light in the sky, revealing what was happening in the core territory of the Zhou family.

The appearance of the new head of the family was like the beginning of a new era for these mortals.

A family head may hold power for two thousand years, and hundreds of generations of mortals may live and die before the person sitting in the position of family head can change.

Today, they are fortunate to witness the arrival of the new head of the household.

Chapter 264 The Divine Silkworm Princess Awakens

The Northern Regions, an ancient mountain range.

This place has always been considered a perilous and dangerous place, because anyone who has entered this mountain range has disappeared, and none of them have come out alive.

Beneath the mountain range lies a magnificent underground ancient palace. A male and a female humanoid creature stand beside a small, golden lake, about ten feet in circumference, with beads of cold sweat on their faces.

Just now, the two of them almost died.

"That god is terrifying beyond belief. The two of us used a divine lake refined by our clan's ancestral king to spy on him, and he still managed to discover us. Fortunately, he only warned us, otherwise everything would have been for nothing today." The purple-haired man's face showed a trace of fear.

The creatures standing beside this small golden lake are Zi Tiandu, the young master of Shenling Valley, and his sister Zi Tianfeng.

"We don't know when the Ancestral Kings will awaken. Perhaps soon, or perhaps it will be several years later. We just need to get through this period," Zi Tianfeng said calmly.

Beneath their feet, a hole the thickness of a finger pierced the ground, with wisps of chaotic energy rising from the opening, emanating a terrifying sword intent, as if someone were pointing a sword directly at their brow, their life and death entirely in someone else's hands.

In the blink of an eye, the man unleashed two terrifying chaotic sword beams from his Heavenly Eye, slashing directly down through the connection of the golden lake and landing at the feet of the two men.

The two of them hadn't felt this way in a long time—being threatened and feeling utterly powerless.

After that day, the two of them immediately reduced their activities outside the outside world. Only two or three servants went out to gather information, while they stayed in the Valley of the Gods, not taking a single step out, waiting for the ancestral kings of the Valley of the Gods to awaken.

The next day, in the same northern region, another mountain range.

This is a cave dwelling concealed by the ancient Emperor's Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern. Zhou Qing's Dao Body and the Holy Prince arrived here.

"Why not send Princess Shencan back to Shencan Ridge?" Zhou Qing asked.

The Holy Prince smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know where the Divine Silkworm Ridge's territory is either."

With the Holy Prince's explanation, Zhou Qing also understood why the Holy Prince chose to travel around with Princess Shencan himself instead of seeking help from Shencan Ridge.

At the end of the ancient era, before the great calamity, the monkey was still very young, not even three years old, when he was inexplicably sealed away.

He had never left the territory of the Fighting Holy Ape clan. Apart from the inheritance of the racial imprint, the monkey didn't even know many ancient characters and knew very little about the outside world.

The reason he has achieved his current level of cultivation is because he had already awakened in the "Immortal Tomb" strange stone and had been cultivating for nearly twenty years, which led to his current achievements. He has only recently entered the second level of the Immortal Realm.

"Zhou Qing, take a good look. Can he be saved?" The Holy Prince looked at Zhou Qing with expectant eyes.

Inside this cave dwelling is a two-meter-high divine source, suspended in the void without sinking; this is a characteristic of divine sources.

Unlike ordinary divine sources, the radiance of this divine source is not dazzling, but rather gentle, like the gathering of starlight or the divine radiance of the moon, soft and hazy.

This is a different kind of divine source, more valuable than ordinary divine sources, and it is sealed.

The effect is also better than that of ordinary divine sources; otherwise, the Divine Silkworm Princess might not have been able to remain sealed for a million years without dying.

Inside the divine source is a purple-haired girl with unparalleled beauty, who appears to be fast asleep, but is actually on the verge of death.

There was a blood-red spear in the heart area, covered in rust, its form on the verge of decay, but the endless killing intent never subsided, making the Holy Prince's body tremble.

This is an unparalleled and deadly weapon. Its killing intent pierced through Princess Shencan and went straight for her primordial spirit, aiming to annihilate her body and soul.

To save Princess Shencan, the first thing to do is to pull out this blood-red spear, which is not difficult; even the Holy Prince could do it.

However, in the process of pulling out the spear, not only might the Holy Prince's body be seriously injured by the killing intent, but Princess Shencan might also suffer secondary damage.

Once the spear is pulled out, the divine source is essentially broken. Without rare treasures of the highest caliber to stabilize Princess Shencan's condition, rashly pulling out the spear will only cause her to die within a few breaths.

The peach obtained from the Jade Pool Holy Land half a year ago was refined by the Holy Prince, and its essence was integrated into the body of the Divine Silkworm Princess within the Divine Source. This improved the Divine Silkworm Princess's complexion somewhat.

Next, after pulling out the spear, the Divine Silkworm Princess's condition was stabilized with a rare and precious medicine of the highest caliber.

In the original timeline, the monkey used one-ninth of the sacred fruit from the Jade Pool Peach and the Nine-Fold Elixir of Immortality to pull out the spear.

But simply pulling out the spear wouldn't help. Even if Princess Shencan stabilized her condition, it was unknown how long it would take for her to heal herself and wake up.

So the monkey went to the Immortal Transformation Pool to compete for the Dream Immortal Essence, and consumed some of the branch Immortal Essence derived from the Dream Immortal Essence, which finally saved the Divine Silkworm Princess.

However, even so, it still took nearly twenty years for Princess Shencan to truly recover and appear at the Yaochi Grand Gathering, allowing the people of Shencanling to discover that their princess was still alive.

Ye Fan did not enter the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land a second time, so he naturally did not have the Sacred Fruit in his hand. Therefore, the spear was still stuck in the heart of the Divine Silkworm Princess.

Zhou Qing stood before the divine source, pondering the next steps in saving the people. After a moment, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and three tree branches, as if cast in gold, appeared.

This is a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree, a complete branch of the Immortal Medicine. Only when all nine branches of the Nine Wonders Immortal Medicine are refined together can they be comparable to the branch of the Fusang Divine Tree.

Zhou Qing stretched out a hand and grasped the blood-red spear. A surge of fierce killing intent rushed up his arm and was about to assault his mind.

"A weapon without an owner, you think you can turn the world upside down?" Zhou Qing sneered, forcefully pulling the spear out and tossing it aside.

The spear was embedded in a blue stone, fierce and awe-inspiring, with a dark red hue, as if it had been soaked in blood.

Three sections of the Fusang tree branch hung in the air. Zhou Qing circulated his magical power and activated the Dao Fire to refine the Fusang tree branch.

Visibly, the hibiscus branches grew smaller and smaller, turning into drops of golden liquid with a rich fragrance. Just one whiff of it could refresh the mind and body, and promote the circulation of magical power.

After the spear was pulled out, a small divine source appeared.

The cave was no longer completely sealed, and the seal's effect plummeted. Princess Shencan's face instantly turned pale.

But as drops of golden liquid flowed into the heart of the Divine Silkworm Princess through the small hole, her complexion improved once again.

"He's really coming back to life!" The Holy Prince was extremely excited.

He was mysteriously sealed away before the great calamity arrived, meaning he knew nothing about the great calamity that occurred after the Battle Saint Emperor's death.

All he knew was that when he woke up, a million years later, he had almost no relatives left, except for his soon-to-be aunt, who had been pierced through the heart by a divine spear and was on the verge of death.

With Zhou Qing's help, the vitality within Princess Shencan is gradually increasing. Powerful life essence flows through her body, along with fragments of the Great Dao and some immortal substances, allowing her life force to continuously recover.

"Boom!"

A heartbeat sounded, and the heart that had been pierced by the divine spear regenerated, gushing out powerful streams of essence blood that flowed to the limbs and bones, nourishing the flesh and bones throughout the body.

Princess Shencan's body radiated a dazzling light, and golden energy flowed within her, making her skin shimmer with golden brilliance, sparkling like it was carved from divine jade.

Her life force was rapidly recovering, her blood was surging like a rushing river, and her body was radiant with light, making her seem less like flesh and blood. She was more like a goddess worshipped by the world.

Suddenly, Princess Shencan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyelids twitched as if she were about to wake up.

"Auntie, Auntie!" the Holy Prince called out excitedly.

Zhou Qing changed the hand seals, controlling the golden liquid to flow into the Divine Silkworm Princess's brow.

Princess Shencan's body has now basically recovered, but the damage that spear inflicted on her was not only physical, but also to her primordial spirit.

Princess Shencan's primordial spirit was severely damaged by the impact of a large amount of killing intent. Therefore, even though Princess Shencan's body was no longer in any danger, she was still unable to wake up.

As Zhou Qing continued to nourish Princess Shencan's brow with the golden liquid, Princess Shencan seemed to begin the instinctive refining process.

Like a traveler in the desert who has long been blessed by the arrival of dew, the severely injured primordial spirit begins to rapidly absorb the energy of the golden liquid and continuously recover.

Currently, no more than thirty branches of the Fusang Divine Tree can be picked. In terms of effect alone, they are stronger than a single sacred fruit of the Nine Wonders Elixir of Immortality, which already contains more than fifty sacred fruits.

The moon rises and the sun sets, the sun rises and the moon sets, and a day passes before Princess Shencan finally slowly opens her eyes.
