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

Just like the Lord of Junwei Mountain on the ancient star road, even if the Chaos Order Divine Chain were placed in front of him, he could comprehend a few strands of the Chaos Law and dominate a star field, becoming a hegemon among his peers.

But not everyone

They couldn't grasp this rule.

Even those like Zhonghuang and Nanyao, whose current cultivation level is only that of a Great Power, have gained some understanding of the Chaos Dao as explained by Zhou Qing.

After all, Zhou Qing had essentially fed them; if they still couldn't eat, what kind of genius would they be?

The Emperor had entered a deep state of meditation, his whole body was shrouded in a gray haze, his eyes opened and closed from time to time, and many symbols flashed in his eyes, revealing auspicious light.

He gained immense benefits, grasped the principles of the Dao, explored the origins, felt all things rise and fall in his heart, and experienced the profound mysteries of chaos. He had an indescribable understanding.

Although the Emperor's realm has not changed compared to two years ago, his combat power is still firmly restricted within the Eight Forbidden Zones, and even after comprehending Chaos, he still cannot break through.

However, this is not useless. Even though his combat power is currently restricted, once the divine restriction is lifted, his combat power will definitely be much stronger than before. This is the accumulation of his foundation.

"Severing the Dao is a difficult hurdle for you. With regrets in your heart, you hesitate and find it hard to make a decision. Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help. You have to overcome all the obstacles to severing the Dao yourself." Zhou Qing silently watched the figure of the Central Emperor.

Xiang Yufei died young, not even twenty years old. A woman died for him, drowning herself in a lake.

Now that he has woken up, he is left with only regrets. Almost all his relatives, friends, and confidantes were buried in that era. He has come to this world alone, and there are not many people he knows anymore.

This naturally became his greatest regret in life. If he could, who would want to be far away from their family and friends, especially such a genius?

Although I have survived, all that remains in this life is the goal of attaining enlightenment. What good is it to cultivate alone like that and finally achieve enlightenment? Time cannot be turned back.

He can only figure this out himself. The most taboo thing on the path of cultivation is hesitation. If one cannot be firm in one's Dao heart and see the way ahead clearly, one will most likely perish at that stage.

However, compared to others, Ye Fan's path of slaying will not be smooth sailing either.

Zhou Qing even dared to assert that if Ye Fan did not return to Earth, even if his cultivation remained at the peak of the Great Power realm for decades or centuries, he would still be unable to sever his Dao.

Returning to Earth is one of Ye Fan's biggest concerns. If this concern is not resolved, his path to enlightenment will remain blocked.

In comparison, he had no regrets or unresolved issues when he severed his Dao back then; at most, he felt a little lost.

Zhou Qing continued his sermon, as laws swept across the void, making the space resemble a small boat on the sea, rising and falling like raging waves or a hurricane, as if it were about to overturn the entire Qishi Mansion.

This path is too vast and powerful for ordinary people to wield. Although everyone is captivated by it, only a few can truly comprehend it.

Others are not without benefit either; today's opportunity is equivalent to "accumulating momentum" for them, laying the foundation for this great path.

If one has a moment of enlightenment in the future, and comprehends part of the Great Dao that Zhou Qing spoke of today, it will be like fish leaping in the vast sea and birds soaring in the boundless sky, making one's future path of cultivation even brighter.

Enlightenment knows no time, and in deep meditation, one loses track of days. After seven days, Zhou Qing ceased his sermon, and the disciples of the Qishi Mansion gradually returned to their quarters.

wake up.

Most people looked confused, as if they had heard something, but upon waking up, they felt they hadn't heard anything at all.

Unlike his previous sermons, where Zhou Qing spoke of very simple and easy-to-understand principles, such as the Great Way of Nature and the Great Way of the Five Elements.

These geniuses encountered no obstacles in comprehending these great principles and easily understood what Zhou Qing was saying.

But this time it was a Great Dao of Chaos, which these geniuses couldn't understand.

Even Ji Haoyue and Yao Yuekong looked confused, after all, there was a huge difference in their cultivation levels. If they were at the Great Power level, they might have been able to understand it more easily.

Besides the Central Emperor and the Southern Demon, there was another young prodigy from the Eastern Wilderness who also gained some insights, namely the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

His cultivation level was not high, and he was still far from being a great being. He was still surrounded by a hazy, chaotic aura. After he woke up, the mist slowly dissipated, revealing a sunny smile on his face.

Zhou Qing's gaze was deep and unfathomable. Others might not understand why Yao Guang was able to comprehend Chaos, but Zhou Qing certainly knew the reason.

At this time, the Holy Son of Yaoguang had also absorbed a lot of the essence of the body. Although he was still a severely incomplete chaotic body, he had finally acquired some characteristics of a chaotic body. His affinity with chaos was beyond that of ordinary people, and he could easily comprehend this great Dao.

Afterwards, the disciples of Qishi Mansion were about to disperse. According to past experience, Zhou Qing's avatar should have slowly dissipated by this time.

However, when some people looked up, their faces showed a strange expression. They saw that Zhou Qing's avatar was still floating in the sky, showing no sign of dissipating.

Although they had doubts, they didn't ask, since whether it disappeared or not was Zhou Qing's own business, and no one else had the right to tell him what to do.

One by one, the disciples of the Qishi Mansion departed. Just then, Yao Yuekong, the young master of the Tianyao Palace, heard a voice transmission and his expression froze.

After nightfall, Yao Yuekong left Qishi Mansion and stopped on a mountain thousands of miles away.

A figure stood atop the mountain, his robes fluttering in the wind, bathed in moonlight like a veil, appearing ethereal and unapproachable.

"Does the God want me here for something?" Yao Yuekong asked in confusion.

Zhou Qing slowly turned around and said, "The Heavenly Demon Body is a physique that can rival the Divine Body. Unfortunately, you were ambushed before you were born, resulting in congenital deficiencies that prevent you from unleashing your true potential. If you cannot make up for it, your future achievements will be limited."

Yao Yuekong sighed softly and said, "Unless I can pass through the nine death trials, I can recreate the unparalleled splendor of the Heavenly Demon Body."

He didn't want to say too much about that matter, because it was a thorn in his side.

“I once met someone who was also born with a hidden attack. The attack he suffered was much more severe than yours. He was attacked twice, once a hundred days ago and once when he was recovering from his injuries.”

"His sea of ​​energy and his sacral altar were all damaged. Even if he only took the first step in cultivation, he had to endure unimaginable pain. After finally growing up, he would suddenly lose his power at a certain level, and all his cultivation would be lost."

"But he did not give up his spiritual practice; with his extremely strong willpower, he withstood..."

Through immense and arduous training, repeatedly enduring the pain of losing power, he persevered and reached the realm of a Great Master, becoming known as invincible among his peers.

"Although you have congenital deficiencies, fortunately there are no major problems in your cultivation. It's just that the cultivation bonus brought by your physique is not as great. You don't need to lose confidence in yourself because of your congenital deficiencies."

Standing atop the mountain, Zhou Qing slowly recounted the experiences of someone who shared similarities with Yao Yuekong.

That person was the King of the Purple Star Region.

Yao Yuekong was stunned and said, "Does such a person really exist? Where is he? I really want to meet this person. He seems to be me from another world, but he has traveled thousands of years longer than me. His willpower is admirable."

“That was a Great Completion King I met in another star field. In that star field, I also saw two Heavenly Demon Bodies, both of whom were King-level beings. One hadn’t gone very far, while the other had already reached Great Completion,” Zhou Qing said.

"Two Heavenly Demon Bodies?" Yao Yuekong looked incredulous, his voice unconsciously growing louder.

The Celestial Demon Body holds a similar position among the demon races of the Eastern Wilderness as the Divine Body among humans. In the past, once it appeared, it could dominate an era and was known as invincible.

This life is somewhat special, with more special physiques appearing. Otherwise, once the Heavenly Demon Physician was born in the past, he would definitely be a top expert among his peers in the Eastern Wilderness, with few who could rival him.

But what did he hear now? The God Lord actually told him that he had seen two Heavenly Demon Bodies who had reached the King Realm in another star field? He couldn't imagine how terrifying that must be.

"How are those two Heavenly Demons doing now?" Yao Yuekong asked curiously.

“They’re both dead. I killed one with my own hands, and although I didn’t kill the other with my own hands, I’m still involved,” Zhou Qing said calmly.

Yao Yuekong's face immediately stiffened. He had thought that the two Heavenly Demons would now be able to command the wind and rain and dominate the world, but the God Lord told him that they were both dead and that they were related to the God Lord.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a chill around him. After all, he was also a Heavenly Demon Body. Why did the God Lord send him here in the middle of the night? Was he also going to kill him?

"Do you know the Heavenly Demon Wheel technique?" Zhou Qing asked.

Yao Yuekong came to her senses and found that she was covered in cold sweat. However, now that she was clear-headed and had the ability to think normally, she found her earlier guess somewhat amusing.

If the God Lord really wanted to kill him, it would be too easy. There would be no need to specially summon him. He could have died without anyone knowing even if the God Lord was in seclusion.

Zhou Qing opened his mouth and spat out the innate Dao essence, which transformed into a dazzling treasure wheel. As it rotated, the four corners of heaven and earth trembled, as if it could reverse time and space and return all things to their origin.

Yao Yuekong looked shocked and said, "Heavenly Demon Treasure Wheel? This is clearly a unique physical technique of the Heavenly Demon Body. How could anyone else possibly use it?"

This secret technique, like the Hades Wall of the Hades Body, the multiple phenomena of the Holy Body, and the special abilities of other physiques, is something that belongs solely to that particular physique. Anyone who is not of that physique simply cannot perform this secret technique.

“Because the Dao is formless and without appearance, it can naturally change in countless ways and encompass everything,” Zhou Qingping’s calm voice rang out.

Yao Yuekong couldn't understand the meaning behind Zhou Qing's words. He only knew that because of his congenital deficiency, he himself couldn't use this secret technique belonging to the Heavenly Demon Body.

But now, things are really messed up. He, a genuine Heavenly Demon Body, couldn't use something, but the God Lord, who is clearly not a Heavenly Demon Body, was able to use it. This made his face burn with embarrassment.

“I called you here not just to chat, but to teach you this secret technique. After all, you are a prodigy of the Eastern Wilderness. If you were to lose in a contest with someone in the Qishi Mansion, it would be a disgrace to the cultivators of the Eastern Wilderness,” Zhou Qing said.

Yao Yuekong then realized why the God Lord had summoned him here tonight. Some time ago, he had some friction with several geniuses from other major regions of the Qishi Mansion, and in the end, he was at a disadvantage in the fight.

He was very unwilling to accept this result, but there was nothing he could do. None of those geniuses were weak, and he was born with a disability, so he had no choice but to retreat.

Chapter 296 Shaking Light Turns into Fish

Besides Yao Yuekong, Zhou Qing also sent a telepathic message to another person tonight, namely the Holy Son of Yao Guang.

Zhou Qing transmitted the method of operating the Heavenly Demon Treasure Wheel into Yao Yuekong's mind as a divine thought, and then Yao Yuekong left.

In less than an hour, the Holy Son of Yaoguang arrived here.

The Holy Son of Yaoguang was calm and composed, with a refined and elegant demeanor. Every move he made carried a sense of transcendence, unlike that of an ordinary person, and his temperament was truly extraordinary.

"Do you know why I called you over tonight?" Zhou Qing asked slowly.

"Whatever the reason, do I have the ability to refuse?" Yao Guang whispered, her words carrying a deeper meaning.

"Oh? Then tell me, why don't you have the ability to refuse?" Zhou Qing became interested in Yao Guang's words.

Yao Guang did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a long time, as if gathering her emotions, before glancing in the direction of the Eastern Wilderness.

"I am a pitiful fish. Over the years, I have struggled to leap up again and again, each time thinking that I have escaped that river, soaring into the air and rushing towards another river of life that belongs to me. But each time, I am forcibly pulled back by a big hand and thrown back into that unchanging current, always moving in one direction."

"Life is a game of chess, and I have no choice. How tragic that is, to be forced to walk in a certain direction under the will of others." Yao Guang's face was somewhat wistful, and his words seemed inexplicable.

Zhou Qing's face showed a strange expression. He didn't know what Yao Guang was thinking, but he actually said such words that felt both familiar and strange to him.

A path beyond one's own control, a tragic future, a pawn in someone else's game—this is how Yao Guang perceives himself.

"Everyone says that the God Lord is exceptionally talented and gifted, not only in cultivation but also in understanding the ways of the world and being well-versed in history. He excels in all aspects, which is indeed true. Even the Holy Land has become his pawn. How terrifying is that? His deep scheming is chilling." Yao Guang laughed.

Zhou Qing didn't say anything, just listened quietly, his eyes calm as he watched Yao Guang subtly hint at his presence.

Yes, he had figured it out. Yao Guang was implying something about him. It seemed that Yao Guang had finally realized his existence.

This was within his expectations, because he hadn't made any special effort to conceal it, and there were always many clues that would lead Yao Guang to associate him with him.

"I thought you would pretend you didn't know anything and continue doing what you were supposed to do. I didn't expect you to be so frank. Do you think you have the ability to break free from control?" Zhou Qing's voice turned cold.

In an instant, the world was enveloped in a chill, the moonlight grew even colder, and the air temperature dropped significantly.

Yao Guang's body sank, creating two large craters beneath his feet, and beads of cold sweat appeared on his face.

The sheer aura alone made him feel as if he were carrying several mountains on his back, his bones cracking and his legs trembling.

He knew in his heart that this was a lesson from the God, and that the God had not yet truly released his oppressive power, otherwise he would not still be able to stand.

"No, I just don't want to live in that eerie atmosphere anymore, constantly worrying and not knowing where my fate will lead me."

"At least let me know what your plans are for me. Even if the ending isn't good, at least I can see it beforehand." Yao Guang said with difficulty, under immense pressure.

"What do you think it will be?" Zhou Qing asked calmly, slowly withdrawing his aura, allowing the Holy Son of Yao Guang to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I don't understand, and it's precisely because I don't understand that I'm increasingly worried. Even if I die, I want to die knowing why, and I don't want to unknowingly become someone else's wedding dress," Yao Guang whispered.
