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

"Thank you for your help, my friend." Princess Shencan's voice was gentle and pleasant to the ear.

In fact, her primordial spirit had already awakened half a day ago. However, after sensing everything in the outside world and knowing that someone was helping her heal, she did not rush to open her eyes. Instead, she circulated her magic power to refine the golden divine liquid that had been delivered to her.

"It's worth all my efforts to make you wake up." Zhou Qing lowered his hands, stopped releasing Dao Fire, and smiled.

Princess Divine Silkworm inhaled, and the two-person-tall alien divine source transformed into streams of gentle essence.

It entered her body to replenish her power and restore her condition.

Zhou Qing released a divine light from between his eyebrows, which entered Princess Shencan's eyebrows, informing her of the general situation of this era.

"Has it already been a million years? The ancient prophecy is about to come true. Is this the lifetime that the ancient emperors predicted?" Princess Divine Silkworm exclaimed.

"What happened during the great calamity at the end of the Primordial Era? Why did that calamity occur?" Zhou Qing asked, voicing his doubts.

The Holy Prince didn't know the answer to this question, but Princess Divine Silkworm certainly did, because she was one of the victims of that great calamity.

Princess Shencan revealed a look of reminiscence and said, "The root of everything lies in an ancient prophecy."

Through Princess Shencan's narration, Zhou Qing gradually learned many details of the great extinction at the end of the ancient era.

Later generations generally believe that the great calamity in ancient times was due to changes in the world, making it unsuitable for life and cutting off the path to cultivation, thus leading to the mass extinction.

However, Princess Shencan's account refutes this claim.

After all, it's obvious that the human race was able to survive and produce so many great emperors, which means that although the world has changed since the Primordial Era, it has not actually become the era of spiritual extinction as people imagine.

In ancient times, before their deaths, the ancient emperors of each dynasty were like gods, able to see through the past, present, and future, leaving behind some prophecies, which were later proven to be true.

The great calamity at the end of the ancient era erupted because the prophecies of immortality made by the ancient emperors of past dynasties were finally deduced to have an accurate time by the Fighting Old Saint Emperor.

Although ancient emperors in the past also deduced that a path to immortality would appear in the world millions of years from now, and that some people would become immortals, they could not clearly calculate exactly how many years from now.

Since the calculations are unclear, the various ancient races naturally cannot blindly seal their divine sources. They need to know roughly how long they need to seal them so that they can awaken at the correct time in future generations.

As the time for achieving immortality drew ever closer, the Fighting Saint Emperor, drawing on the experience of his predecessors, finally calculated this point to be accurate to within two hundred years.

The accuracy of projecting a million years into the future, with an error margin of no more than two hundred years, finally met the requirements for self-proclaimed divine origin.

However, another problem arises: although divine source liquid could be generated in the Primordial Era, it was far from being luxurious enough for every Primordial Race to seal it up for future generations.

For example, some ancient clans, which are among the royal families, have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of members, making it impossible for everyone to be sealed into the divine source.

Therefore, it is necessary to seize, to attack other races, and to take the divine source liquid.

However, when the Fighting Saint Emperor was alive, he suppressed everything and did not allow any major races to cause trouble. As a result, under the authority of the Fighting Saint Emperor, the major races lived in peace for thousands of years.

After the Holy Emperor of Struggle passed away, the land lost its supreme ruler and immediately descended into chaos, with various tribes fighting each other.

Those who had a grudge sought revenge, and those who had a grievance sought retribution, resulting in a mass genocide.

Some fled to the outer realms, while others were sealed within the divine source. Even the ancient royal families were not at peace, and the elixirs of immortality flew away one after another. The great saints of all races tried every means to stop them but could not.

Moreover, some ancient royal families also engaged in great wars, attacking each other and creating utter chaos.

Princess Shencan did not survive until the end of the great calamity. At the very beginning of the calamity, she was standing in front of the Desolate Holy Temple when someone threw a divine spear from 100,000 miles away, pinning her to the spot. After that, she knew nothing more.

Zhou Qing knew some of it. Later, the Fighting Saint King roared to the heavens and earth, fought fiercely in the Eastern Wilderness, and after a battle with Di Que, the Fighting Saint King was also seriously injured and on the verge of death. In the end, he sealed himself in the Western Desert.

Presumably, the divine source of the Divine Silkworm Princess was sealed by the Fighting Saint King, who buried the Divine Silkworm Princess and the Saint Prince together underground in the Primordial Forbidden Zone, and they were eventually unearthed by the Yao Guang Holy Land in later generations.

Chapter 265 The Black Gourd That Claims to Be Capable of Slaying Immortals

“Kunzhou.” Princess Shencan looked at the blood-red spear with an unfriendly expression.

With a wave of her hand, she drew the spear into her grasp. Soon, a hissing sound rang out as the dark red blood on the spear evaporated completely, leaving only the spear itself, as black as jade.

"Back then, Kun Zhou casually forged a piece of divine iron and nailed me to death in front of the Desolate Holy Temple from 100,000 miles away. I will definitely take revenge for this great grudge in the future!" Princess Divine Silkworm said coldly.

The reason she chose to retaliate later, rather than now, is because her current strength is indeed far inferior to Kun Zhou's.

Although the Divine Silkworm Princess is now considered a Heavenly King-level powerhouse, only one step away from becoming a Great Sage, that one step is a world of difference.

Moreover, Kun Zhou is not a novice in the Great Sage realm, but has already reached the peak of the Great Sage realm.

Therefore, even though Kun Zhou only casually refined a piece of divine iron, it directly nailed the Divine Silkworm Princess to death.

"Little monkey, you can take this." Princess Shencan tossed the spear to the Holy Prince.

This spear was only temporarily refined by Kun Zhou, forming a shape, essentially a weapon embryo. And it was indeed a piece of divine iron, enough to be used to forge a sacred weapon.

After the Divine Silkworm Princess washed away the blood, the spear was no longer so terrifying. The reason the spear was so frightening before was mainly because it was stained with the Divine Silkworm Princess's holy blood.

Now that the holy blood has been washed away, the Holy Prince was not harmed at all, even though he held it in his hand.

However, the Holy Prince scratched his head, feeling that he was not used to using this spear. He thought to himself that he might as well grind it into the shape of a stick, as he preferred to use a stick as a weapon.

At this moment, Zhou Qing took out something else and prepared to return it to Princess Shencan.

A dazzling light flew from Zhou Qing's hand, a phoenix cry resounded in all directions, and a divine phoenix rushed out.

It is only half a foot long, and even with its tail feathers, it is only a little over a foot long. Its wings are bright and beautiful, with gold as the main color. It is full of spirit and its eyes are full of charm.

This is a small divine silkworm that Ye Fan cut out in the Divine City a few years ago. It was taken into the hands of the Zhou family, who used a lot of resources to make it complete its fourth transformation. Now it has transformed into a small divine phoenix.

When this little phoenix first flew out, it was very lively, flying around and dazzlingly beautiful.

But the moment he saw the purple-haired girl in front of him, he froze, looking very confused. Tears welled up uncontrollably in his big eyes and fell in pairs. Then, with a "whoosh," he flew over.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Each time this little divine silkworm completes a transformation, it completely forgets the past. No matter how many resources or benefits the Zhou family gave it, it forgets them all. But it always remembers the Divine Silkworm Princess.

"I'll return this little divine silkworm to you; my Zhou family simply can't raise it," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Although this little divine silkworm has many secrets, it has encountered a major problem in its cultivation. As the younger brother of the God Emperor, the uncle of the Divine Silkworm Daoist, and an absolute royal of the Divine Silkworm Ridge lineage, it can no longer even transform into human form and can no longer utter a single word.

Otherwise, Zhou Qing really wanted to know what kind of bizarre shape he had changed the Divine Silkworm Ridge's cultivation method into.

Who would have thought that such a seemingly...

The frail and pitiful little silkworm is already in its second life, and it is very likely that it will continue to live like this in the future, living for nine lifetimes in a row.

Each time it completes the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm, it will live a new life. Although the cultivation method has gone wrong, causing its primordial spirit to become obscured, it has almost become a little simpleton.

However, this does not diminish the power of this technique; it is absolutely beyond the realm of common sense.

It's unimaginable how strong this little divine silkworm will be by then. A quasi-emperor with nine generations of power has never appeared before in history. This kind of path is definitely no weaker than the eleventh transformation of the divine silkworm that the Divine Emperor is currently proposing.

"Don't cry, it's good that we've met again. It's kind of you to have kept the mark and not forgotten me. I'll give you a divine source as a reward later."

Princess Shencan smiled gently, her snow-white teeth more lustrous than pearls, radiant and captivating, touching the hearts of everyone around her.

Having just recovered from near death, she saw the little silkworm that had once been by her side, which brought a smile of relief to her lips.

The silkworm twisted and turned, crying loudly as it rubbed its head against the girl's cheek, whimpering as if trying to tell her something.

"Is the princess going back to Shencan Ridge next? May I go in and take a look?" Zhou Qing said with a smile.

"Of course." Princess Shencan nodded, her tone gentle.

Afterwards, Princess Shencan used her magic to take the Holy Prince with her and fly directly out of this mountain range. Zhou Qing followed beside her, intending to go and take a look at the ancestral land of Shencan Ridge.

There was no other reason for this trip; he was just curious about what the ancestral land of the Divine Silkworm Ridge looked like. Since his Dao body was idle anyway, he might as well wander around the Northern Region more.

Meanwhile, his true self was standing on the island of the gods, talking with a saintess.

"Aren't you curious why that sage from your Purple Mansion would leave you here?" Zhou Qing asked.

Before him stood a beautiful woman, her purple robes fluttering, standing between heaven and earth like a purple fairy flower.

She was tall and slender with a slim waist, her hair swaying gently, and she possessed an exquisite face. A purple glow shone between her brows, which was a Dao seal.

It was Zixia, the innate Dao embryo of the Purple Mansion Holy Land.

Zixia looked puzzled. She was indeed very curious. The Zhou family's Holy Lord Ceremony had ended, and people from all sides had left, including those from the Purple Mansion Holy Land. Yet, she was left behind.

“Because I promised the Purple Mansion Saint that three years later, I would return to her a primordial Dao embryo that has reached the realm of great power. Do you think that is possible?” Zhou Qing asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zixia felt not doubt, but rather a sense of joy.

“I believe that for the God Lord, there will be absolutely no problem for me to become a great being in three years!” Zixia said.

She has now discovered something: as long as she stands next to Zhou Qing, the efficiency of communicating with the Great Dao is almost ten times that of before, which is an absolutely terrifying boost to her physique.

"Well, that's good. Over the next three years, I will do my best to develop your physique, helping you unlock more of your innate potential and break through to the Great Power level step by step," Zhou Qing said.

Why leave the Purple Mansion Saintess behind? Of course.

It was to glimpse the mysteries of the innate Dao embryo.

He wanted to try to grasp all the mysteries of the innate Dao embryo, just like the Heavenly Demon Body and the Human King Body.

In his speculation, if he could understand how the innate Dao embryo is formed, it would be of great help in cultivating the acquired Dao embryo.

When he was a semi-saint, he made a rough attempt to push the Sun Saintess's physique to the potential of the seventh forbidden level.

However, there is a huge gap between the Seventh and Eighth Forbidden Zones. If Zhou Qing cannot understand the exact structure of the Innate Dao Embryo, then even if he uses his current saintly physique to baptize the Sun Saintess, it will be useless.

"Go to the Eight Views Palace to cultivate first, then call Ye Fan over," Zhou Qing said.

On the current God's Island, there are the Purple Mansion Saintess, the Sun Saintess, Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Jiang Tingting, three young geniuses who have emerged from the Zhou family in the past ten years, and a Saint Chen Yuan who is hidden in the void.

These eight young geniuses are the ones he will be nurturing next.

Not long after the Purple Mansion Saintess left, Ye Fan walked out of the Eight Views Palace and came to Zhou Qing.

“When I left Beidou back then, I made many arrangements for you to act according to the circumstances and try your best to get what I told you. Now it seems that you have not let me down,” Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Ye Fan chuckled and said, "Of course. The green copper block from the Demon Emperor's Tomb is already inside me. I knocked the Purple Mansion Saint Son unconscious and got that black gourd. I also cut through all the strange stones in the Divine City. I went into the Myriad Dragon Nest to capture the True Dragon Immortal Elixir, but unfortunately I missed the opportunity and only got the Dragon Pearl and nine drops of divine medicine."

Zhou Qing listened to Ye Fan's explanation and nodded repeatedly, quite satisfied.

Ye Fan has completed all the arrangements he made before going to the Ziwei Star Region, and has basically obtained everything he was entitled to.

He didn't arrange some opportunities, such as the treasures in the Primordial Forbidden Zone and the Undying Mountain. These two places were too dangerous, so he didn't let Ye Fan go there.

Of all the opportunities he arranged, only the Myriad Dragon Nest was somewhat dangerous, but Ye Fan entered the Myriad Dragon Nest with the Holy Prince, so in reality, this place wasn't too dangerous.

"My Lord, how exactly do you use this black gourd? For so many years, I've only ever used the cork as a weapon; I can't figure out how to use it," Ye Fan asked curiously.

Speaking of the black gourd, Ye Fan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. When he hit the Purple Mansion Saint with a club, he secretly mocked the Purple Mansion Saint, thinking that he had a treasure but didn't know how to use it, only knowing how to fight with the gourd stopper. But now that it has been in his hands for so long, it is still the same.

Ye Fan took out the black gourd from his body and handed it to Zhou Qing.

This black gourd seemed to have been born at the beginning of time. Zhou Qing sent a wisp of divine sense into it and observed that it contained an ancient universe, in which several star fields were rising and falling.
