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

"boom"

Endless auspicious clouds spurted out, and all kinds of auspicious lights lingered. It was sacred inside, with thousands of auspicious colors and thousands of divine rainbows penetrating the sun, moon and stars.

The essence of the dragon's energy from the first ancestral vein of Zhongzhou converges here, and thousands of beams of immortal light rise and fall between heaven and earth, creating a dazzling and surging spectacle.

"As expected of the number one ancestral lineage, it gathers the essence of a great domain from ancient times to the present."

Even though most of it has been ruined, the remaining hole is still a marvel of nature, but unfortunately it is now being used to nourish an empty shell. Zhou Qing first praised it, and then sighed.

The first ancestral vein of Zhongzhou was not completely destroyed; a hole remained, spewing forth auspicious clouds and radiant light, where a stone embryo floated and sank.

In addition, there are numerous temples nestled among the mountains, which are incredibly sacred.

Some temples resonate with the main road, surrounded by countless chains of divine order, which are the insights of ancient sages.

Some temples spew out divine light that illuminates the sky, with crimson and purple clouds dancing together. Without a doubt, that must be an extraordinary divine treasure!

Other ancient temples emitted sounds like chanting, as if someone was reciting the supreme Dao scriptures. Countless ancient characters, densely packed, were imprinted in the void, emitting boundless divine light.

This is an ancient scripture that shakes the world! Even if it's not the legendary scripture of the Ascension Emperor, it must be a great sacred text, otherwise it would be difficult for such an extraordinary phenomenon to occur.

However, just as Zhou Qing and his group entered this final small world and looked around, a change occurred!

"Great Emperor, your offerings have arrived! There are two imperial weapons! This is sure to be a grand feast. Please return and resurrect!" Two young Taoist disciples blocked the stone gate, chanting incantations as if reciting an ancient spell.

Beneath Zhou Qing's feet, Dao patterns flickered and shone with brilliant light, filled with a demonic fluctuation. This was a sacrificial method, meant to turn them into dust here.

In this situation, Zhou Qing showed no panic whatsoever; instead, a mocking smile appeared on his face.

"This is the Ascension Emperor you're protecting? I can crush him with one hand!"

Zhou Qing reached out a hand and grabbed the heavy, floating stone, squeezing it hard.

"boom!"

The stone core exploded instantly, sending stone fragments flying. One after another, feather-like lights flew out, revealing that the interior was empty, devoid of any figures, only the dissipating light and a wisp of imperial might spreading outwards.

The two Taoist boys were dumbfounded, completely frozen in place, their bodies still, their incantations stopped, their minds blank, utterly unsure of how to react.

"How could this be! Six thousand years ago, the Great Emperor revived from the ancestral lineage, awakened us, and bestowed upon us memories of our past lives, instructing us to guard the ancestral temple. How could he not be here? How could a mere sage break through his divine embryo? This is absolutely impossible!"

The two young Taoist disciples roared like madmen, their eyes bulging as if they were about to be possessed by demons.

They found it hard to accept the fact that the Feathered Emperor couldn't possibly be gone. Who else but the Feathered Emperor could grant them the memories of their past lives as his attendants? It was definitely the Feathered Emperor; no other Holy Spirit could possibly have done it!

But why is this happening now? Why is the stone embryo of the Feathered Emperor empty? As the attendants of the Feathered Emperor, they knew very well that the Feathered Emperor was indeed in this stone embryo back then. Later, he was constantly worshipped by the people of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, who wanted to use heaven-defying methods to live a second life and lead the entire divine dynasty to ascend to immortality.

That was the lifelong wish of the Feathered Emperor, a regret left by generations of ancestors, inherited from that distant mythological era.

But now, the stone embryo of the Feathered Emperor was shattered with a single pinch by a sage, leaving only a wisp of the Emperor's essence.

Wei, but his true form is gone!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Emperor Yuhua must still be here. He wouldn't abandon us. He must be in the deepest part of the ancestral vein. The Emperor must have gone to the deepest part of the ancestral vein!"

The two seemingly young ancient saints grasped at a straw, muttering some words. Ignoring the fact that they were sending Zhou Qing and the others to their deaths, they transformed into two beams of light and rushed into the ancient cave, seeking answers.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch. You can't just attack Zhou Qing whenever you want, and then abandon the sacrifice as soon as you realize things aren't going well, pretending you never did it. That's impossible. Zhou Qing isn't that magnanimous.

"You want to leave here? You can't go anywhere!" Zhou Qing snorted coldly.

"Bang" "Bang"

Zhou Qing's figure disappeared from the spot, and with two collision sounds, the two young Taoist disciples flew back at an even faster speed than before.

Their chests exploded, bone fragments flew everywhere, and blood splattered across a vast area, staining the void and the earth red.

Dao Qingling couldn't see very clearly. Zhou Qing was too fast. She only vaguely saw that Zhou Qing blocked the two little Daoist boys in that instant and kicked out twice, almost killing the two ancient saints directly!

At this moment, after the intense pain subsided, the two young Taoist disciples regained their senses and were no longer in a daze.

"You!" The boy glared at Zhou Qing, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

This kick severely injured him, causing his blood to splatter and bones to fly everywhere. He almost exploded and died on the spot.

"Yin spirits? Nothing special! But the memories in your sea of ​​consciousness are a huge treasure, otherwise I wouldn't have held back, and you two would have died instantly."

Zhou Qing stretched out his hand, activated the "Soldier" secret technique, and the two young Taoist boys struggled violently, but still flew unstoppably toward his palm.

"You're courting death!" The two Daoist disciples were enraged and unleashed an extremely powerful divine technique.

Thousands upon thousands of chains of divine order shattered the void, and various lights danced in the air. It was an aura of unparalleled terror, and the endless laws spread out, carrying a power that seemed to threaten to annihilate Zhou Qing.

Ascension, also known as transformation into the Dao, is an absolutely forbidden power that terrifies countless people. The more powerful a cultivator is, the more afraid they are, because sooner or later they will face it, becoming part of the laws of heaven and earth and disappearing.

This is absolutely the supreme secret technique in the Feathered Emperor Scripture. It draws upon the power of ascension, rendering even the greatest supernatural abilities useless. Even the great emperors of antiquity had to transform into the Dao when they passed away, let alone a sage.

"The first generation of Ancestor Yuantian once said that human power has its limits, but heaven and earth are eternal and will exist for countless eons. Those who truly understand heaven and earth can, in theory, be immortal and live together with heaven and earth."

"The power of the Dao Transformation is indeed terrifying, but in my opinion, it's nothing special. There are too many powers in the world that can counter the power of the Dao Transformation, Eternal Divine Fist!"

After this punch was thrown, the entire world seemed to change, but the two young Taoist disciples couldn't quite put their finger on what exactly was different. In any case, it was mysterious and incredibly powerful!

"boom!"

Zhou Qing's fist erupted with boundless light, like a galaxy rushing out, eternal divine light spreading, vast and boundless, forcibly shattering the opponent's power of ascension.

"What?" The two young Taoist disciples' eyes widened in disbelief. They couldn't comprehend just how powerful the person opposite them was. They had used the supreme secret technique from the Ancient Scripture of Ascension, yet it had been broken so easily.

"If it weren't for your secret techniques, it wouldn't work. If the young Emperor Yuhua were here in person, it would be somewhat interesting to me. You? You're nothing but ants," Zhou Qing said coldly.

Nowadays, he rarely uses other people's offensive techniques. He has created various techniques based on his own understanding of the Great Dao, which are exactly the same, and he can unleash their full power when he uses them.

Zhou Qing reached out again and squeezed from a distance. The two Daoist boys immediately screamed in agony as their bones twisted out of shape, cracking sounds echoed continuously, and their bodies were covered in blood.

He then used his palm as a knife, creating two beams of divine light that flew out like two immortal knives, instantly slicing open the heads of the two Daoist boys, their primordial spirits almost split in two.

Zhou Qing then probed into them with his divine sense, trying to read their sea of ​​consciousness.

First, they wanted to peek into the memories of the time when they were disciples of the Feathered Emperor. Having spent so many years by the Feathered Emperor's side, they knew too many great secrets that others could not know.

Secondly, they wanted to see what the person who gave them memories of their past life six thousand years ago was all about, and whether the Feathered Emperor had really awakened once. After all, how could anyone else know the details of their past life as Daoist disciples except for the Feathered Emperor?

Chapter 301 Taking Over the Feathered Ancestral Temple

Through the memories of the two Daoist disciples of the Feathered Emperor, scene after scene flashed before Zhou Qing's eyes.

For example, the memories of Daoist disciples who have served the Great Emperor are an immense treasure. They may not only obtain the Ascension Emperor Scripture, but also the Great Emperor's Killing Array.

Just like the Black Emperor who spent some time by the side of the Great Emperor Wushi in his later years, even though the Black Emperor was just a pet, he had seen the Great Emperor Wushi practice various secret techniques, and even remembered some of the Wushi Technique. Moreover, because the Black Emperor was good at array patterns, he also learned the Wushi Killing Array.

These two Daoist disciples were even more powerful than the Black Emperor. They had served the Feathered Emperor for at least several thousand years and knew far too much about the secrets of the Feathered Emperor and the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Among those fleeting scenes, one in particular caught Zhou Qing's attention.

That was the first ancestral vein of Zhongzhou that had not been destroyed. It was incredibly powerful, with auspicious clouds bursting forth, rainbows spanning the sun and moon, and dazzling light, just like a celestial abode.

Compared to the Qinling dragon, it's simply not in the same league.

If the first ancestral vein of Zhongzhou hadn't been destroyed by the Feathered Divine Dynasty, turning into a ghost realm, and then cut into five pieces by the Ruthless Great Emperor, would the Qinling Great Dragon have thought it could rise to become the number one dragon vein of Zhongzhou? There was simply no way it could.

Beside the volcanic vent, where auspicious clouds billowed and rainbows stretched across, sat a figure, exuding a terrifying aura that seemed to transcend time and space, unfolding right before Zhou Qing's eyes.

Putting everything else aside, his sheer presence is awe-inspiring; he seems to be the center of the universe, with the sun, moon, and stars revolving around him.

The Ascension Emperor!

Zhou Qing recognized it immediately; it was the might of the Great Emperor. Although it did not actively release its aura, it still possessed an indescribable imposing presence.

Moreover, he was very familiar with that appearance; it was indeed the appearance of the Feathered Emperor.

Although he and the Feathered Emperor were not from the same era, and the stone carvings in the first few palaces were also very blurry, making it impossible to see the true appearance of the Feathered Emperor.

In reality, he had seen the Feathered Emperor more than once during the Heavenly Tribulation, so he naturally knew what the Feathered Emperor looked like.

That figure sitting cross-legged near the first ancestral vein of Zhongzhou is definitely the Feathered Emperor!

Soon, Zhou Qing felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Feathered Emperor, because the Daoist boy was rapidly approaching the Feathered Emperor.

"You have served me for hundreds of years, and I have seen your loyalty. Today, I will pass on two copies of the 'Ascension Scripture' to you. Cultivate diligently and do not tarnish the name of the Ascension Child," said the majestic figure.

"Thank you, Great Emperor! We are willing to serve you for all eternity. Whether in life or death, you will always be our Great Emperor!" the two young disciples said gratefully.

The Feathered Emperor chanted scriptures, and one ancient character after another manifested from his body, reflecting into the void outside and rotating in that world.

The Emperor himself transmitted the scriptures, and the two Daoist boys immediately became immersed in them, unconsciously circulating the "Ascension Scripture" and personally experiencing its mysteries.

Zhou Qing, who viewed this memory, also obtained the "Ascension Scripture," the profound meaning of the Emperor's Scripture, the nine characters for "Emperor," and various secret techniques of the Great Emperor, all of which were acquired by the Ascension Emperor.

It was passed on to his servant.

No matter what, he was an invincible emperor, so how could his attendants be too weak? They were capable of representing the Emperor Yuhua and issuing orders to various forces in the universe.

Zhou Qing continuously read the spiritual treasures of the two Daoist boys, memorizing all sorts of scriptures, secret techniques, and grand formations.

This was only a small part of their spiritual treasure trove. The memories of the Feathered Emperor's enlightenment, his practice of cultivation techniques, and his occasional self-talk were all memorized by these two Daoist disciples.

These memories should have been erased long ago when they became Yin Gods, but after the Yu Hua Emperor was resurrected six thousand years ago, for reasons unknown, he gave them the memories of their previous life.

Now, all these memories have benefited Zhou Qing. The cultivation levels of these two Daoist disciples in their previous lives were actually more than those of saints, but after becoming Yin Gods, they are now completely new life forms and need to cultivate again.

In other words, the current sainthood level of these two Daoist boys is not inherited, but rather they awakened six thousand years ago and cultivated for six thousand years before reaching the sainthood level.

Zhou Qing could only say that it was indeed the post-ancient era. Someone who could serve as a page to the Feathered Emperor in 300,000 years must have been a prodigy. Yet, even a prodigy from before the ancient era still found cultivation so difficult after the ancient era.

This shows just how talented the old madman, Jiang Taixu, and others were; they were all prodigies with the potential to become emperors.

Zhou Qing quickly read through the memories of the two Daoist disciples spanning thousands of years. He severed many of the useless memories from their daily lives, leaving only the memories related to cultivation.

Or it could be the occasional musings of the Feathered Emperor, which involve the great secrets of becoming an immortal, the great secrets of the mythological era, the Heavenly Court of the Emperors, and the supreme ideal of the entire sect becoming immortals.

Moreover, Zhou Qing also saw that the two children had followed the Feathered Emperor to many places in the universe, including the ancient stars of the Big Dipper, the ancient stars of the Flying Immortals, the Kunlun remnants, and even the scene of the Feathered Emperor descending upon the God Organization and communicating with the leader of the God Organization back then.

It has to be said that the memories of those who have accompanied the Great Emperor are an unimaginable stroke of luck. Zhou Qing couldn't help but think of the Black Emperor. This guy has really hidden too many things. No one knows how many trump cards he has hidden or how much he knows about becoming an immortal.

"This memory is truly vast. I'll have to absorb it slowly when I get back. Right now, my main focus should be on sweeping away all the opportunities in the Feathered Ancestral Temple," Zhou Qing said softly.

After reading the memories of the ascension disciple from 300,000 years ago, the story jumps directly to the memories from 6,000 years ago.

In that memory, there was indeed a stone embryo exuding an extremely terrifying aura of an emperor, and even its voice was exactly the same as that of the Feathered Emperor from back then.

It was this stone embryo that awakened the two ascended Daoist disciples, then bestowed upon them memories of their past lives, and gave them the order to guard the final ancestral temple. After that, the stone embryo disappeared.

Meanwhile, the two ascended Daoist disciples silently resumed their cultivation while guarding the thirty-fifth level of the temple's small world. For the next six thousand years, they never entered the thirty-sixth level of the temple's small world, nor did they ever hear the voice of the Ascended Emperor again.

"That's definitely the Feathered Emperor, there's no mistake!"
