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

Zhou Qing's gaze sharpened as he looked at the stone embryo in the Daoist boy's memory, with absolute certainty.

The stone embryo looked exactly like the one he had just crushed in the hole of the First Ancestral Temple in Zhongzhou, or rather, the two were originally the same stone embryo.

"It seems that the Feathered Emperor has achieved a certain level of success in transforming the Holy Spirit. After successfully living for 300,000 years, he awakened his consciousness 6,000 years ago."

“Unfortunately, the first ancestral vein of Zhongzhou has long lost its former effectiveness. In the past six thousand years, the two children have never had any contact with the Feathered Emperor. As far as I know, the Feathered Emperor later achieved his ultimate perfection on the Feathered Ancestral Star. It seems that the Feathered Emperor may have really abandoned this ancestral vein and crossed the universe back to the Feathered Ancestral Star,” Zhou Qing pondered.

Zhou Qing looked at the stone embryo he had just crushed, where feather-like pieces of light flew out, and a wisp of imperial might spread outwards.

Those who don't know the truth would only think that even if the Feathered Emperor really existed there, he has probably already transformed into the Dao and disappeared into the laws of heaven and earth.

"Forget it, it's none of my business where the Feathered Emperor goes. I don't believe he would dare to jump out. Not to mention that jumping out now might ruin his efforts and cause serious defects in his third life, it might also attract the Ruthless Emperor. Even if he were really here, he wouldn't come out to make a move for some inheritance in the ancestral temple."

There are many good things in this Feathered Ascension Ancestral Temple, but these good things are nothing to the Feathered Ascension Emperor. Nothing is more important than his own Holy Spirit Perfection.

Even if the Feathered Emperor did not leave Beidou as Zhou Qing thought, it is impossible for him to break his Holy Spirit Path because of some Feathered Legacy.

"Bang" "Bang"

Zhou Qing clenched his fist, and the two Yin Gods exploded into a cloud of blood mist, disappearing into the world.

"Judging from your expression, you must have gained a lot." Dao Qingling smiled slightly, making the sun, moon, and stars pale in comparison.

“Indeed, it’s quite good. I’ll pass on these memories to you when we get back. Now let’s collect these palaces. They contain the most profound sacred scriptures, insights, star field coordinates, and various ancient books of the Feathered Divine Dynasty. Let’s take them all, not leaving out a single palace,” Zhou Qing said.

Nestled in the mountains, ancestral temples stand one after another, grand and majestic, ancient and natural. Some are shrouded in colorful clouds, while others are covered with densely packed ancient scriptures. Sacrifices and chanting rise together, creating a magnificent spectacle.

The two men made their move, quickly taking over one temple after another.

Some ancient temples are filled with divine light, vibrant auspicious clouds, and radiant divine brilliance, exuding holiness and peace, just like the palaces of ancient gods.

The insights of ancient sages have transformed into tangible characters, densely covering the area above the palace, mysterious and magnificent. Each ancient character flickers, and the divine imprints of the ancient sages resonate with the Great Dao.

This kind of inheritance is far superior to the insights of sages recorded in their notes.

The Zhou family and the Divine Continent Dynasty also had insights from sages, but most of these insights were recorded in their notebooks and did not manifest in any extraordinary ways; at most, they left behind a few wisps of the sages' Daoist aura.

These ancient temples, however, are different. Sitting cross-legged in these temples is equivalent to sitting before sages, allowing one to transcend time and space to hear their personal recounts and insights.

Such inheritance is even more precious.

Some palaces do not emit light, nor do they resonate with the Great Dao, but Zhou Qing values ​​these palaces even more.

The palaces that remain in the thirty-sixth minor world contain nothing of ordinary nature; they are the very foundation of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, the core creations. The reason they show no unusual phenomena is because they are sealed away.

These sealed palaces are far more valuable than those with unusual phenomena, as they may contain star field coordinates or supreme immortal materials.

"No, no, this one isn't it either." Zhou Qing swept through the palaces, searching for the one containing Earth's coordinates, but he hadn't found it yet.

Some of the halls seemed to be scripture repositories, containing scrolls of ancient books. Zhou Qing glanced at them briefly and felt that the Feathered Divine Dynasty was truly magnificent in its heyday.

Those ancient books were extraordinary, containing various unknown and lost secret techniques. These techniques can no longer be seen in the world today, but the Imperial Library of the Feathered God Dynasty still records many of them.

In some temples, the characters carved on the walls emit streaks of auspicious light, and even sway with a crimson divine chain.

"This secret technique is truly bizarre. There are indeed many extraordinary people in this world, such an unconventional secret technique." Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. He smashed the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron, shattering the magic array of the palace to pieces, and then directly put the palace into the cauldron.

The temples here are protected by ancient magic arrays, making them very difficult to destroy.

Nearly 300,000 years have passed. Ordinary holy weapons would have decayed, let alone buildings. The reason why these palaces still look magnificent is because they are protected by the magic arrays carved by the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

This is, after all, the most core ancestral temple of the Feathered Divine Dynasty. Even if a sage wanted to break through their magic array and take away large sections of the palaces, it would be impossible.

Unfortunately, two uninvited guests arrived today, both carrying imperial weapons. They forcefully smashed the magic arrays of the palaces one after another, taking away one palace after another.

There are very special incense burners, cast in purple copper, engraved with clouds, mountains, flowers, birds, fish and insects, etc. The smoke is filled with a sandalwood fragrance that calms the mind and can help people quickly enter a state of enlightenment.

"The branches of the divine tree beside the Feathered Emperor are indeed extraordinary. I just don't know where the Feathered Emperor's immortal herb has flown to. There is no trace of it in the memories of the two children," Zhou Qing said with emotion.

This is no ordinary incense; it is the most divine branch of an immortal herb. It does not burn itself, but rather it stirs up the dragon energy of the first ancestral vein in the Central Plains.

Using the elixir of immortality as incense and the dragon energy of the first ancestral vein in the Central Plains as flames—this is the work of the Feathered Divine Dynasty. Such a foundation is hard to find even among the four great immortal divine dynasties.

The final level of the small world originally had eighty-one palaces, but now they are rapidly decreasing, with only twenty-odd remaining. The rest have been taken away by Zhou Qing and his group.

"Boom"

Zhou Qing opened the door to another palace, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

The stone walls here are covered with star maps, flowing with clear light, incredibly deep, and every star is twinkling.

Zhou Qing also remembered that this stone wall was special, containing a teleportation array. Once you touched the stone wall, you would be teleported to an ancient war island.

The Ruthless lineage is truly peculiar. Hua Yunfei had never been to the Feathered Ancestral Temple before, yet he clearly knew that there was a teleportation array there.

It's possible that, like Yao Guang, Ji Ziyue, and Duan De, they somehow connected with the items belonging to the Ruthless Great Emperor, gained ancient memories, and learned about the existence of this teleportation array.

There are hundreds of stone carvings here, and each carving contains a small teleportation array, which may or may not be able to teleport people to any particular place.

However, Zhou Qing knew in advance how to solve this problem. He pointed to the most brilliant star in each star map, and the entire palace immediately became dazzling.

"Click."

A sound came from a corner, and a stone door appeared out of thin air, moved to one side, and revealed a secret room.

Zhou Qing entered the secret chamber and with a palm strike, sent a saint's corpse flying on the ground, revealing a groove. He then pointed a finger down, making a cracking sound, and a stone door in front of him slid open, revealing a spacious stone hall.

"Was the designer of this hall crazy? Hiding so many magic arrays and mechanisms, it's like a nesting doll." Zhou Qing was speechless.

He entered the second secret room, where it felt like he had traveled from the ground to the starry sky, with stars dotting the surroundings.

Four of the stars are very special, many times brighter than the other points of light, and only these four stars are solidified, about the size of a fist. Among them are Earth, Ziwei, and two other very peculiar stars.

He reached forward and easily collected the four stars one after another. At this moment, Earth's position in the universe was no longer unknown to him.

Chapter 302 The Ascension Ancestral Temple Ends

Star coordinates are very valuable. If you don't know the coordinates, finding a star in the vast universe is just a matter of luck.

For example, poor Delis, who spent her whole life wandering in the starry sky, never knowing where the Big Dipper was until her death.

Now, Zhou Qing has obtained the coordinates of four stars from a palace left behind by the Feathered God Dynasty.

One is Earth, the location of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron; the other is Ziwei, the former residence of the Heavenly Court of the Emperor. Zhou Qing doesn't know what the other two stars are.

Based on his intuition, Zhou Qing believed that one of them should be the ancient star of Yuhua, and the other was probably a star that had a great relationship with the Heavenly Court of the Emperor.

As is widely known, the Feathered Emperor is a descendant of the old officials of the ancient Heavenly Court, and he is very familiar with the various legacies left by the Heavenly Court in the mythological era.

These four stars, which the Feathered God Dynasty preserved with such solemnity, are definitely not ordinary stars.

He has already been to Ziwei, and he will be going to Earth soon. When he has time, he will also visit the other two stars to see what secrets they hold that make the Feathered Divine Dynasty so concerned.

When he walked out of the palace, the outer palaces were mostly empty, and only the last main hall remained standing in the mountains.

This grand hall was incredibly magnificent, four or five times the size of the other halls. It was sacred and peaceful, radiating auspicious light. A feather-like light covered the top of the hall, and the sound of chanting rang out, resonating with the Great Dao.

Inside the central hall, a green ancient cauldron appeared and disappeared, seemingly located in a distorted void. It exuded an aura of dominance over all the heavens and the myriad worlds, radiating immense power.

This is the most important palace of the Feathered God Dynasty, inscribed with the Feathered Immortal Scripture, and also contains a green cauldron that appears to be the Ascension Cauldron.

“This Immortal Ascension Cauldron is fake.” Zhou Qing shook his head. He didn’t even need to go inside to deny the authenticity of the green cauldron.

A figure in white landed beside Zhou Qing, standing gracefully with her white dress fluttering, bringing a hazy rain of light and a fragrant scent.

"How's your harvest?" Zhou Qing asked the figure beside him directly.

"There are many insights from sages, scriptures of sages, secrets of becoming an immortal collected by the Feathered Divine Dynasty from all over the universe, and some Nine Heavens Divine Jade. The most precious one is a piece of immortal material, a piece of Feathered Azure Gold large enough to be used for refining weapons."

Zhou Qing looked surprised and said, "You've also made quite a haul. I've obtained the coordinates of four important stars. The legacy of the Feathered Divine Dynasty is indeed rich."

Dao Qingling smiled and continued, "Let's quickly sweep away the hidden resources here. We might not be able to keep this a secret for long. Perhaps the soldiers of the other three great dynasties have already discovered the anomaly here."

Zhou Qing nodded, then stepped directly into the last main hall without lingering.

In the center of the main hall floats a green ancient cauldron, its walls engraved with images of myriad spirits, scenes of creation, and the figures of ancient ancestors and chaotic deities.

"boom"

Suddenly, the green cauldron trembled, unleashing a tremendous and overwhelming pressure that hurtled towards him.

Zhou Qing placed the dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron in front of him. Black-gold energy descended, and black dragons flew out from the cauldron's mouth, colliding with the green cauldron and producing a deafening roar.

.

This was a massive collapse; the palace trembled, the void cracked, and black fissures spread outwards, seemingly capable of devouring everything in the world.

Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly. He was quite surprised that this green cauldron actually had offensive capabilities and was not just a pure illusion.

However, upon closer inspection, he discovered a crack on the wall of the green cauldron, which relieved him.

Although he didn't believe the green cauldron was real, it must have something extraordinary about it to have fooled so many ancient royal families and human emperors.

“Some of the copper pieces are genuine, but most were added later and are not the same material as the green copper.” Zhou Qing’s face showed a strange expression.

On Earth, the green cauldron represents the three legs and the base of the cauldron, but who says the Feathered Divine Dynasty didn't have other fragments? Perhaps those fragments simply belong to the upper part of the cauldron and couldn't be joined to the base temporarily, hence they remained.

"brush"

A dazzling beam of celestial light illuminated the palace and struck the green cauldron. Crackling sounds rang out as the cracks on the cauldron multiplied, becoming dense and numerous, threatening to shatter.

"It is said that the Feathered God Dynasty collected a lot of green copper pieces in order to repair this Immortal Ascension Cauldron. There should be four or five pieces on the green cauldron in the main hall that belong to the real Immortal Ascension Cauldron."

Zhou Qing looked toward the doorway; the celestial light he had just seen was cast by Dao Qingling.

"Then let's dismantle it." Dao Qingling's eyes were cold as she launched another attack.

"boom!"

The green cauldron exploded, and the fragments, unable to withstand the might of the imperial weapon, turned to dust in the air. However, five fragments, emitting a faint green light, blocked the imperial might and remained unharmed.

It is precisely because of the existence of these five pieces of green copper that the aura of this green cauldron is so real that it can be mistaken for the real thing. Ancient royal families and human emperors, as long as they have not seen the Immortal Ascension Cauldron with their own eyes, will basically be fooled by it and mistakenly believe that this is the real green cauldron.

Zhou Qing stretched out his hand and swept it across the void, collecting all five pieces of green copper.

Ye Fan has one piece, and he previously retrieved four more from the Immortal Transformation Pool, so he now has ten pieces in his hand.

However, these ten fragments are in different positions, and only two or three fragments have edges that fit together, so they should be able to be refined together. The edges of the other fragments do not fit together, so they obviously cannot be repaired.

Then, Zhou Qing looked at the four walls of the main hall, where the Ascension Scripture was engraved.

"It's consistent with the contents of the Ascension Scripture that I obtained from the memories of the two Daoist disciples." Zhou Qing had glanced through it once, and after comparing the two, he no longer doubted the authenticity of the Ascension Scripture.

After leaving the main hall, Zhou Qing followed procedure and smashed the protective array, breaking it open. He then put the magnificent hall away.

All eighty-one halls in the thirty-sixth layer of the temple mini-world have been acquired. This is a legacy left by an ancient divine dynasty, and many of its treasures need to be sorted out slowly.
