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

By reciting a specific incantation, these several floating star fields will condense into a celestial sword and unleash its immense power.

However, it was damaged in an ancient divine war, its power was greatly reduced, and its spells were sometimes effective and sometimes not, so activating it could only be done by luck.

Ancient texts record that during a war of gods in ancient times, there was one...

"A Taoist priest wielded this black gourd, which was said to be able to slay immortals. It killed countless ancient ancestral kings, causing endless carnage. In the end, it is said that this immortal-slaying gourd was destroyed. However, after millions of years, it has come to our hands again." Zhou Qing said slowly.

Ye Fan looked shocked and said, "You actually have such a great background?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "In that battle, in addition to the Immortal-Slaying Gourd being destroyed, the Emperor Seal of the Taiyin Emperor was also knocked into the depths of the universe and disappeared without a trace. Moreover, it is said that more than just one or two imperial weapons were destroyed in that battle."

"This black gourd is of such a high grade, but it's damaged now, and I don't even know how to use it. What should I do?" Ye Fan looked distressed. It was such a pity to have such a wonderful treasure but not be able to use it.

"Actually, if it were just a physical damage, it would only reduce its power. The reason it has fallen to this state is mainly because the deity within it died and lost its soul," Zhou Qing explained.

Just then, another Zhou Qing flew in from outside the Divine Lord Island and landed beside the two of them.

“Now we have the soul of the army,” Zhou Qing said with a smile as he flew down.

He opened his fist, and within it was a ball of light, which took on a human shape, but was only the size of a fist.

"This is a deity?" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.

He felt as if he were in a dream. Just when he needed a deity, the God Lord found one. Wasn't it said that deities among soldiers were extremely difficult to be born, and that they could only be born after being tempered and refined through tribulations of lightning? How come a deity was found so easily?

"This was cut from the Wang family's stone workshop. This is no ordinary deity, but an unparalleled weapon spirit cultivated by an ancient emperor. It is a peerless deity that can take over an imperial weapon," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

When his Daoist body went to the Wang family stone archway, the powerful Wang family member guarding the archway immediately changed color and stayed by his side in great fear, afraid that he might raze the Wang family stone archway to the ground if he displeased him.

Of course, he didn't do that. He simply used his Origin Master-level Origin Technique to select the strange stone containing the supreme weapon spirit.

Then, he immediately cut out the supreme weapon spirit, and leisurely turned and left under the stunned gaze of the Wang family's powerful figures, causing a huge uproar among the gamblers in the Divine City.

"Now we can repair this Immortal-Slaying Gourd. Although it's impossible to restore it to its full glory, at least we can turn it into a controllable treasure."

Zhou Qing slapped the light source in his hand onto the black gourd. After just one breath, a raging aura appeared, suppressing the vast sky, boundless and unfathomable.

The moment this aura appeared, Zhou Qing took the gourd into his hand and manipulated it to calm it down, without affecting anyone outside the Divine Lord Island.

"Although its form is damaged and some of its internal Dao patterns have been destroyed, its power is still considerable. Now that it has the Divine Weapon, it can be considered a very powerful Quasi-Emperor Weapon. In this way, you can be considered to have a good protective treasure." Zhou Qing placed the Immortal-Slaying Gourd in Ye Fan's hand.

"God, you don't want to?" Ye Fan found it unbelievable.

“I already have quasi-emperor weapons, and more than one, so there’s no need for me to take your treasures. The reason I left those for you is so that you can take those opportunities into your own hands,” Zhou Qing said with a laugh.

Then Ye Fan took out the Immortal Treasure Map he obtained from the Myriad Dragon Nest and showed it to Zhou Qing.

"The Holy Prince said that the Fighting Holy Emperor often looked at this Immortal Treasure Map late at night, and it later fell into the hands of the Ruthless Great Emperor. It must contain unimaginable secrets." Ye Fan said, then looked at Zhou Qing expectantly.

Now he felt that the God was truly knowledgeable and erudite, as if he knew all the secrets of heaven and earth. If there was anything he didn't understand, he could ask the God and get the answer nine times out of ten.

Sure enough, even when faced with this celestial treasure painting, the God Lord was still able to say a few words.

"The front of this scroll is a star map." Zhou Qing activated it with his magic power, and the front was dotted with stars, which vaguely included the coordinates of all the star fields in the heavens.

"As for the three pictures on the back, they contain the secrets to becoming an immortal. The first picture, a mountain landscape, describes a celestial land in the starry sky. It is said that the Feathered God Dynasty crossed the star field and went there. It seems to be called Kunlun," Zhou Qing said.

"Kunlun?" Upon hearing this familiar name, Ye Fan's breathing became rapid.

If this Kunlun is the same as the Kunlun in his mind, wouldn't that mean that the Feathered Divine Dynasty once reached Earth more than 200,000 years ago?

Then this divine dynasty must contain Earth's star coordinates!

At this moment, since leaving Qishi Mansion, Ye Fan has a new goal.

Chapter 266 Yao Guang's Dream and the Ancestral Temple of Feathered Ascension

For Ye Fan now, the only difficulty in traversing the star field is the lack of Earth's coordinates.

With Earth's coordinates, the presence or absence of the remaining five-colored altars is irrelevant, as the Zhou family's sage is capable of bringing him back to Earth.

Moreover, he had just learned in the Eight Views Palace that the ancient man on Earth, Lao Tzu, was actually a quasi-emperor.

This made him realize that the Earth was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and must have had an incredibly glorious past.

He felt that the Feathered God Dynasty had crossed star fields to Earth more than 200,000 years ago, and that this was indeed very possible!

Kunlun, the ancestor of all mountains, enjoyed the most exalted status in his country's ancient times. Although in his mind it was just an ordinary mountain range, what about 200,000 years ago? Perhaps it really was a sacred mountain.

"My Lord, on our planet Earth, there is a mountain called Kunlun Mountain," Ye Fan said after careful consideration.

"Oh? The three paintings behind this Immortal Treasures Picture are related to becoming an immortal. Does that mean there might be a secret to becoming an immortal on Earth?" Zhou Qing showed some surprise at the right moment.

Seeing the change in Zhou Qing's expression, Ye Fan said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Kunlun that the Feathered Divine Dynasty went to more than 200,000 years ago is the same Kunlun on our Earth. They went there for the secret of becoming an immortal."

Over the years, although the Zhou family's higher-ups knew that this group of people came from beyond the realm and had inquired about their situation, they lost interest in them after hearing that there were basically no cultivators in that world.

His decision to proactively release information about Earth naturally has its own ulterior motives.

Although he wanted to return to Earth, he needed the Zhou family's help to traverse the star system, whether it was finding Earth's coordinates or engaging in interstellar travel.

This requires making the God Lord, who just became the head of the Zhou family yesterday, realize the importance of Earth, so that the matter of finding Earth's coordinates will be taken seriously.

Zhou Qing said with a serious expression, "If what you say is true, then we need to raise our level of attention to the Feathered Divine Dynasty ruins to the highest level."

"The ruins of the Feathered Divine Dynasty are located in the heart of the Central Plains Dragon Vein. It has been turned into a dead land, a most ominous area, barren and gloomy."

"That place is practically a forbidden zone for life. The four great dynasties of Zhongzhou once joined forces to sweep through it, but they found nothing. It won't be easy for us to find the Earth coordinates that the Feathered Divine Dynasty might have left behind."

As Ye Fan listened, his heart sank. Fortunately, Zhou Qing's next words gave him some hope.

"However, recently someone sent me a message saying that someone dreamed about the ancestral temple of the Feathered God Dynasty. However, the dream was very blurry, and the person could not see anything. But as they walk along, the dream may gradually become clearer, and then they may be able to find out the location of the ancestral temple of the Feathered God Dynasty."

Zhou Qing's voice rang in Ye Fan's ears, making him both pleasantly surprised and puzzled. He asked, "Who is that person? How could they have such a dream?"

Zhou Qing stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "You are familiar with that person; he is the Holy Son of Yao Guang."

"The Holy Son of Yao Guang? It's actually him!" Ye Fan exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Fan was very familiar with this person, because the Holy Son of Yao Guang also had the inheritance of the Undying Heavenly Art, which surprised him for a long time.

When he first came into this world, he did not understand the terror of the Undying Heavenly Art. He only knew that it was a peerless divine skill, and there were few in ancient and modern times that could compare with it.

It was only after being warned by the Zhou family's higher-ups not to casually display the secret techniques within the Undying Heavenly Art that he realized how special this technique was. At the same time, he also learned about the other two inheritors of the Undying Heavenly Art: the Holy Son of Yao Guang and Jiang Yifei.

Later, after entering the world of cultivation, he realized a problem. It seemed that the real Ruthless lineage should be behind the Yao Guang Holy Land. However, he didn't know why the Ruthless lineage's cultivation techniques were so complete in the Zhou family, with not a single volume missing.

Now he seemed to understand a little, his expression somewhat incredulous, and he tentatively asked, "What is your relationship with the Ruthless Lineage?"

"The biggest mastermind behind the ruthless lineage hidden behind the Yao Guang Holy Land, he listens to me," Zhou Qing said.

"I see. In other words, it was the mastermind who told you about the Holy Son of Yao Guang's dream." Ye Fan understood.

No wonder he always felt that the Yao Guang Holy Land was strange, always quietly becoming his help in some way, making him wonder when he had become acquainted with the Yao Guang Holy Land. Now he finally knows the real reason.

“If you are often accompanied by items related to the Ruthless Great Emperor, you will sometimes have some vague dreams. That is related to the Ruthless Great Emperor’s experiences. The Holy Son of Yaoguang is indeed very talented. After spending a long time with the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, he also had a few vague dreams. The content of the dreams was related to the ancestral temple in the Feathered Ruins,” Zhou Qing said.

Just like Ji Ziyue, who often dreamed of her ruthless brother being dragged away because she was wearing that bronze ring.

Since obtaining the Devouring Demon Cover, Duan De has occasionally had nightmares, in which he always sees a rough ring and a ghost mask.

In the original timeline, the reason why the Feathered Ancestral Temple, which had been dormant for over two hundred thousand years, reappeared was because the Yao Guang Holy Land participated in the process of the four immortal divine dynasties of Zhongzhou excavating the Feathered relics, which was closely related to the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

The Feathered Ancestral Temple is a sealed small world. Only by accurately calculating the coordinates of this small world and attacking it with an ultimate imperial weapon can a breach be opened.

The four immortal dynasties of Zhongzhou once joined forces and used supreme imperial weapons to sweep through the Feathered Ascension Ruins several times. However, without the accurate coordinates of the ancestral temple's small world, it was all in vain.

“The Holy Son of Yaoguang hasn’t dreamed of that scene many times yet, and the scene is still very blurry. Once he dreams of it a few more times and the scene becomes clearer, I will be able to deduce the location of the Feathered Ancestral Temple,” Zhou Qing said calmly.

After all, he was a Celestial Master who had traveled far. As the dream of the Holy Son of Yao Guang became clearer and more detailed, he was very likely to be able to deduce the location of the Feathered Temple.

"I really hope he can dream a lot more!" Ye Fan sighed. He found his own thought strange, actually hoping that someone would dream a lot more.

Then, he suddenly had a brilliant idea and said, "Then..."

Should I knock him out? If I keep him asleep, wouldn't that increase his chances of dreaming?

Zhou Qing couldn't help but chuckle and said, "It's not that simple. It's not just a dream in the ordinary sense, but a kind of 'communication' in the dark. That's the key point."

Ye Fan, however, showed no embarrassment and said with a serious expression, "What if it really works?"

He admitted that he was getting anxious, but there was nothing he could do. His hope of returning home lay in that ancestral temple. Although he wasn't sure if Earth's coordinates were really inside, he was still eager to go and see for himself.

After all that talk, it turns out the key figure in finding the Ancestral Temple of Ascension is actually the Holy Son of Yao Guang, and the Holy Son's dream is highly uncertain, which makes him very anxious.

“I know you want to find the location of the Feathered Ascension Ancestral Temple as soon as possible, but we can only wait. However, you don’t need to worry about waiting too long. According to the pattern of the Holy Son of Yao Guang’s dreams, it will be clear enough for me to deduce the location of the Feathered Ascension Temple in two or three years at most,” Zhou Qing said.

"Alright, let's not talk about the Feathered Ancestral Temple anymore. Besides the first mountain map in the Immortal Treasure Map, there are two more. They should be related to the legendary Desolate Tower and Immortal Bell." Zhou Qing unfolded the Immortal Treasure Map in his hand and looked at the two pictures at the back.

"The Desolate Tower? The legendary treasure of the Desolate People of the Middle East? It is said that it once suppressed and killed a Great Perfection Saint Body." Ye Fan was shocked.

"That's right. And that celestial bell is said to have come from Kunlun. It is said that when the bell rings, it can restore a person's youth, and when the bell stops ringing, it can cause a person to die of old age in an instant."

"If the Kunlun on Earth that you mentioned is really the Kunlun that the Feathered God Dynasty went to, then the secret to becoming an immortal on Earth is very likely the original form of the green copper block in your body."

It has to be said that as Zhou Qing slowly narrated, Ye Fan suddenly felt that the Immortal Treasure Picture in his hand was extremely hot. No wonder it was a scroll that the Fighting Saint Emperor often looked at late at night in his later years. It was really too terrifying.

"Oh right, there's also this divine source, which contains a terrifying ancient human saint."

Ye Fan took out his Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron. There was a terrifying and chilling aura inside the cauldron. Then he shook it vigorously, and a person flew out of it.

This is an old man, sealed within a divine source. He is emaciated and sits cross-legged, showing no signs of life, yet he inspires extreme unease.

He was dressed in a shirt, his upper body was thin and bony, and his lower body was wrapped in an animal skin. He held a large, shiny white bone club in his hand. He looked very primitive, but he gave people a creepy feeling.

A crimson iron chain, dazzlingly bright, bound him, almost squeezing his flesh. It was engraved with many Dao patterns, intricate and difficult to describe. This was a crimson divine chain.

“Leave him to me. He has the potential to fuse the Yin and Yang, he just needs the time,” Zhou Qing sighed.

The Dao Body that brought back the Supreme Soldier Soul not long ago is still there. Now, after this Dao Body grasped this divine source, it flew away and took it to the Zhou family's divine city, where the Zhou family patriarch and the Kunpeng patriarch were in seclusion.

This ancient human sage, in his quest for enlightenment, cultivated both the Yin and Yang energies, but his cultivation went awry. His consciousness became chaotic; he was a god by day and a demon by night, wandering through the lands of the primordial era.

It was filled with bloodshed and chaos, causing widespread panic and unrest among all the major clans.

Moreover, the saying that one is a god by day and a demon by night is not related to light, but rather to the question of whether one is divine or demonic.

Whether one is a god or a demon, time is actually the same; people mistakenly perceive it as the alternation of day and night.

So even if he rushes towards the sun, it will be daytime forever, which is useless.

Zhou Qing took this divine source away to discuss with the Zhou family patriarch and the Kunpeng patriarch about releasing him at a certain time.

As for what happens if they become demons after being released? Just suppress them.

Within the Zhou family's territory, even a Great Sage couldn't cause any trouble. In fact, even with the combined efforts of the Zhou family's ancestor and the Kunpeng ancestor, along with the array patterns, they couldn't even create a ripple.
