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

Zhou Qing smiled faintly and said, "Then I can tell you that I have no plans. You should continue to cultivate as you see fit. No matter how you grow in the future, that is your own business and has nothing to do with me."

Yao Guang was stunned; this was not what he had guessed.

He always believed that when he treated others like fish, he might also be treated like a fish by others, and sooner or later everything he had would be taken away to make way for someone else.

But now this mastermind behind the scenes is telling him that nothing has actually happened to him? He can hardly believe it.

"People fish this year, but heaven will fish me next year? You actually think that way? That's quite an interesting thing." Zhou Qing had a strange smile on his face.

Taking advantage of Yao Guang's unstable state of mind, he secretly probed Yao Guang's sea of ​​consciousness with a wisp of divine sense, and when he sensed Yao Guang's thoughts, he couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

He thought that Yao Guang had obtained something and gained confidence to fight him, but he didn't expect that Yao Guang was just confused.

In summary, ever since Yao Guang discovered that there was an even bigger mastermind behind him, he has been unable to cultivate in peace.

Every time he practices, he can't help but wonder whether he is practicing for himself or for others, and his heart for the Dao begins to waver.

This state of mind tormented him every time he practiced. He had no idea whether he would have a tomorrow, or when he would simply vanish from the world, his essence returning to someone else, and himself disappearing forever.

It's a bit like paranoia; my mind is full of speculations about being killed or having everything taken away from me, making it impossible for me to calm down and practice.

"What's so valuable about your life that I would bother with it? The little bit of essence you devoured yourself? What use is that to me? I don't need it." Zhou Qing couldn't help but laugh.

Yao Guang frowned, her mind racing with thoughts as she tried to figure out whether Zhou Qing's words were true or false, or perhaps only half true. She kept analyzing every single word Zhou Qing uttered.

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly. This is what the weak are like. They tremble in fear in front of the strong, thinking that others have some terrible intentions towards them. They live in fear all the time and have no trust whatsoever.

But is it really intentional for a human to step on an ant? Perhaps it's just that they took a step and accidentally stepped on an ant.

He clearly had no intention of making Yao Guang a fish for someone else, but Yao Guang still couldn't stop thinking in that direction. He was like that ant, always thinking that Zhou Qing must have a deep scheme behind it, but in reality, Zhou Qing didn't have any big scheme.

There's nothing wrong with calling you here today.

The special purpose is simply because I've seen your talent for comprehending the Great Dao of Chaos, and I'm preparing to impart more of the mysteries of Chaos to you.

“However, since you’ve opened up, let’s be frank. You do have something I need right now, not the origins you’ve devoured, but a dream—a dream you had in front of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron,” Zhou Qing said.

"A dream? Could it be that the God Lord wants to find the Five-Colored Altar located in Zhongzhou?" Yao Guang was taken aback, quickly recalling the dream she had in front of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, and confirmed a goal.

The dream was blurry; he couldn't see it clearly. He only knew that there was a temple somewhere in Zhongzhou, and that there should be a five-colored altar inside. However, he couldn't see the location of the temple and didn't know exactly where it was located.

“That’s right, that’s the place. There are some things in there that I need. If you can find the coordinates of that temple as soon as possible, I can promise that I will not only spare you and not strip you of your essence, but I can also find someone to help you dig out various special corpses so that you can devour your essence.” Zhou Qing stood on the mountaintop, hands behind his back, looking down at Yao Guang.

When Yao Guang heard that she did indeed have something Zhou Qing needed, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Qing noticed Yao Guang's inner turmoil and felt speechless.

He told Yao Guang that he had no designs on her, which made Yao Guang uneasy. But when he told Yao Guang that he had designs on her, it actually made Yao Guang feel a little more at ease.

It's strange, but also normal. In Zhou Qing's view, this is because Yao Guang grew up in an environment with ruthless people from a young age and was severely influenced by it.

Perhaps in Yao Guang's view, it is normal for the world to be full of scheming and backstabbing. If there were no scheming, it would be terrifying for him, because he would only think that the scheming was too deep for him to even touch.

This night was quite unexpected for Zhou Qing.

He hadn't expected Yao Guang to expose his identity, which introduced some changes to his planned exchange. Fortunately, the outcome was not negative and the exchange was still a good one.

In the end, he still gave Yao Guang some extra help, allowing Yao Guang to comprehend more of the laws of chaos.

When daylight came, his avatar simply vanished.

Time passed, and the day when the Immortal Transformation Pool would descend on its own was drawing ever closer.

During this period, Zhou Qing and the Cai family patriarch worked together to use the Origin Heaven Divine Technique to transform the entire Lingzhou into a sacred land for cultivation.

During the day, endless purple mist rises from the ground, enveloping many places in a hazy atmosphere, clearly indicating that this is sacred land rich in the essence of heaven and earth.

At night, endless starlight falls, cascading down towards Lingzhou like flowing water.

The starlight converged into a river, a vast expanse of white, like a waterfall piercing the night sky, stunning everyone in the Eastern Wilderness.

Whether it's other major sects or independent cultivators, many people came here drawn by its reputation to experience the changes in Lingzhou.

"Cultivating here is three times faster than in other oases!"

A rumor spread from the mouths of cultivators in Lingzhou, growing wider and wider until almost the entire Eastern Wilderness knew about it.

More and more people

They passed through the domain gate to Lingzhou, just to verify whether the rumors were true or false.

As more and more people arrived, the rumor was confirmed to be true, which everyone found absurd.

Don't other major religions have such sacred lands for cultivation? Of course not. A sacred land that can accelerate cultivation is not so rare; every major religion has some, more or less.

However, those sacred cultivation lands have always been reserved for a select few talented disciples, because the areas are really not very large.

Moreover, the interior of the Yaochi Holy Land is certainly more suitable for cultivation than ordinary mountains and rivers outside, but it can only be used by people of one religion.

In Lingzhou today, even an ordinary mountain peak has gradually transformed into a sacred mountain, condensing the divine beauty of heaven and earth, containing the wonders of creation, and is extremely suitable for cultivation.

Such a feat is truly unimaginable; outsiders simply cannot comprehend how it was accomplished.

However, after the Source Masters from the ancient Source Clan came here and took a look, their eyes widened in surprise, and they left without saying a word.

"Judging from the source, the Heavenly Book has indeed fallen into the hands of the God Lord. Moreover, there is a 100% chance that the God Lord is already a Source Master, otherwise it would be impossible for him to set up such a heaven-defying array."

In the ancient family of Yuan Shu, a group of old men were having a meeting, each of them talking at once, all with worried expressions.

They had noticed this several years ago, because they discovered that the Zhou family's mastery of Origin Arts was rising at an astonishing rate.

When that Holy Body emerged from the Zhou family, it caused a huge stir in the Divine City. At the time, they were not convinced and challenged him to a duel, but in the end, they were defeated.

If this is just an isolated case, then there are many other cases in the Zhou family that are clearly not isolated cases.

Many members of the Zhou family frequented various stone workshops in the Northern Region. Whenever they cut stones, they almost always managed to get good items, and it was rare to see them lose money.

It is said that the eight little madmen of the Yuan King lineage once fought against a group of Zhou family disciples using Yuan techniques, but were ultimately defeated by a boy who was not even ten years old, and had to admit defeat.

It was these undeniable facts that made these members of the ancient families of Origin Arts increasingly certain that the Origin Book must be in the Zhou family's possession.

The old men sighed repeatedly. They truly had the will but were powerless to do anything. They dreamed of obtaining the Origin Book, but now it was in the possession of another ancient family, and they were completely helpless.

The ancient families and immortal holy lands shouldn't care about Origin Techniques. They consider Origin Techniques to be minor arts and look down on them. Therefore, their disciples never practice Origin Techniques.

This is why these ancient families of Origin Arts have formed their own little circle. Sometimes, when other forces need help testing stones, they will invite them to do so, but after the test, they will not pay much attention to them.

Unless one cultivates to the level of a Source Master, even someone from their ancient Source Arts family who is infinitely close to a Source Earth Master cannot truly stand out and will not be taken seriously by those powerful beings.

Several ancient families specializing in Origin Arts were troubled here, while Zhou Qing was in a very good mood.

Many months have passed since Yaoguang spoke with him at night, and he has even gone to Qishi Mansion to preach again.

After that day, Yao Guang no longer stayed at Qi Shi Mansion for long periods of time, but returned to Yao Guang Holy Land. With the help of the Ruthless lineage, he spent a long time cultivating with the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, and that mysterious connection became clearer and clearer.

Just now, he received news that the coordinates of the temple had finally been found.

This is fantastic news! That's the ancestral temple of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, containing countless precious treasures.

However, he suppressed his impulse and did not act immediately.

Several months later, as undercurrents surged in the Big Dipper and one powerful ruler after another secretly entered the Qinling Mountains, he finally separated a Dao body and went directly to the Divine Continent Dynasty through the Domain Gate.

Chapter 297 Divine Weapons of the Divine Land and Three Immortal Elixirs

After a brief journey through the void, he arrived in the capital of the Divine Continent Dynasty. The imperial city was still extremely prosperous, with people coming and going at the city gate, all of whom were cultivators who could fly and escape into the earth.

He took a step, his body seemingly transforming into a wisp of wind, and flew directly through the city gate without anyone noticing his presence.

It wasn't until he continued flying upwards, directly reaching the palace gates, that a voice rang in his ears.

"Are we going to the Ancestral Temple of Feathered Ascension today?"

Zhou Qing's gaze swept across the palaces and landed on an incomparably majestic middle-aged man, adorned with a dragon crown and robe, his aura overwhelming the sun and moon, surrounded by countless large dragons, his imperial presence incredibly awe-inspiring.

“Right now, everyone’s attention is focused on the Qinling Mountains, which is the perfect opportunity for us to explore the Yuhua Ancestral Temple,” Zhou Qing nodded in response to the middle-aged man.

That was the Emperor of Shenzhou, whose control over this palace was unparalleled. Even a saint could not sneak into this palace; he would be discovered immediately.

Holding a token in his hand with the four large characters "As if I were personally present," Zhou Qing strode towards the palace.

Every soldier who saw this token knelt to welcome it, and they traveled smoothly all the way to the Central Heavenly Palace.

There was no one here. The Emperor of Shenzhou was not here, nor were any of the civil and military officials. The court of cultivators was different from that of mortals.

The cultivators' court doesn't need to hold court every day, otherwise, would they still be able to cultivate? Their court only convenes when there are major events; minor matters can be resolved without discussion in court.

Today was a day without court. The Emperor of Shenzhou communicated with Zhou Qing telepathically from another place that resembled a study: "Qingling is still in that small world. Go ahead."

Zhou Qing walked behind the dragon throne, used a secret technique, and a dazzling portal materialized from the void before he stepped inside.

This is a hidden little world where the imperial weapons of the Divine Continent Dynasty float and sink.

In addition, there is a five-colored altar here, which is full of energy and very intact.

However, Zhou Qing wasn't there to find the five-colored altar. He looked towards a place filled with dense chaotic energy and walked straight there.

There was an unparalleled life force there, so immense that it seemed to contain the life force of billions of living beings, capable of easily bringing the dead back to life and healing the wounded, possessing an extremely miraculous effect.

Zhou Qing's gaze was calm, because he had been here more than once or twice, and over the years he would often send a Daoist avatar here to stay for a few days.

After parting the chaotic energy, he saw a huge ancient tree, towering into the clouds, with streaks of rainbow light dancing on it, shrouded in mist, and its leaves rustling with the roar of the Great Dao.

This ancient tree is so tall that anyone who sees it for the first time will be amazed. It seems to stretch into the universe, with stars orbiting among its leaves and a chaotic aura emanating from it.

At the very bottom of this ancient tree was a graceful figure, like a true fairy. Her skin was snow-white and translucent, her hair was jet black and shiny, and her eyes were deep and beautiful. She seemed to be about to ascend to heaven with a shower of light, exuding an aura of immortality.

In particular, she was exceptionally beautiful, indescribably ethereal, and unparalleled in the world.

Search.

Even the peerless beauty, the stunningly beautiful Princess Yueling, who was known as the second most beautiful woman in the Central Plains, could not compare to her in the slightest.

Her expression was calm and ethereal, almost otherworldly. Her beautiful eyes looked at Zhou Qing, and she spoke in a voice as clear as heaven: "Are you planning to enter the Ancestral Temple of Ascension?"

“Indeed, I have brought the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron. Combined with the imperial weapon of your Divine Continent, it will be enough to sweep away all obstacles in that ancestral temple,” Zhou Qing said.

As he arrived at the tree, he saw many things that were not clearly visible in the distance.

Below, there appears to be a lake, a very special lake, shrouded in colorful clouds, sacred and extraordinary, with misty waters and a faint fragrance that can be smelled, bringing a sense of tranquility to the heart.

The spring water of Wangyulou comes from here; it is formed by diluting the water in this lake countless times.

Because this marsh has been nourishing the imperial weapon for hundreds of thousands of years, it has long been imbued with the Daoist essence of the imperial weapon.

Those with exceptional comprehension can glean a trace of the Great Dao of the Divine Emperor from this marshland, since imperial weapons are an alternative continuation of the Great Emperor's life.
