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

"Yes, turning misfortune into fortune is truly a wonderful thing."

When Zhou Qing took out the Landscape Map, opened the inner world, and projected its scenery onto the outside world, the clan was immediately in an uproar.

No one could help but be shocked. Looking at that radiant little world, at the spiritual energy that was almost liquid, and at the countless celestial treasures flowing within it, they were speechless.

"My God, so many medicinal kings, so much divine source liquid!"

"And there's also a large quantity of Luo Silver Essence! Lots of Saint-level materials! And a Nine-Aperture Stone Man!"

"Not only that, there's also the Nine Apertures Spirit-Connecting Divine Liquid, my god, an entire lake! It would take tens of thousands of years to use it all up."

Chapter 68 Movements from all sides

This was an unimaginable feast, and it took a full ten days to inventory all these countless treasures.

The inventory of treasures was not a grand affair; only members of the clan of great power or above were qualified to know the specific details.

The elders of Sendai First Heaven only knew that their clan had obtained some treasures, but they were unclear about the specific quality and quantity of these treasures.

The people below them knew even less; they continued living their lives as before, without receiving any news.

However, for the Zhou family, although they suddenly gained enormous wealth, this wealth would be worthless if it were not put to use.

Therefore, although the tribespeople below did not know what had happened, they also felt a change. The amount of source and spiritual medicine distributed by the tribe was much greater than before, which was a huge change.

"Five catties of source! I was given five catties of source this month! If this standard continues, I feel my cultivation level will improve again very soon!"

A cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm sighed repeatedly. With his talent, he would never have been valued by his family. He realized that to obtain resources, he had to contribute to the family, which was a process that required gradual accumulation.

Now, even though he was doing the same task as before, the rewards he received were suddenly much more generous, which made him extremely excited.

However, for cultivators in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, only the reward for the source has changed, while for cultivators in the Dao Palace and the Four Extremes Secret Realm, it is a change of another level.

After all, sources are extremely common in that immortal land. The essence of heaven and earth there is like water, and sources can be seen forming everywhere. Moreover, no one has entered for at least hundreds of thousands of years, and the accumulated sources are simply an astronomical number!

"Purple Radiance Copper Essence! I applied countless times, but the family never sent me such materials. I thought this application would fail again, but I didn't expect it to be sent after only one day!"

A renowned elder from the Four Extremes Secret Realm gazed at a piece of green copper before him, its surface shimmering with light, and his eyes gleamed.

As a renowned figure in the third secret realm, he desperately needs such refining materials. However, although his clan's treasury contains Purple Radiance Copper Essence, it is not abundant. Although such mines are frequently found, the demand is too great, leading to intense competition!

To apply for the next piece of Purple Radiance Copper Essence, one needs to accumulate a great deal of merit. Everyone is vying for it. It's incredibly difficult to obtain this kind of refining material. I never expected it to become so easy now. This would have been impossible before.

And the higher-ups in the family also reaped unimaginable benefits.

"Zhou Qing, your contribution this time is truly immense, far exceeding what we've invested in you."

This is a living fossil lamenting that his lifespan was nearing its end, but now it has been extended by decades or even centuries, all thanks to Zhou Qing.

"Now we have the main ingredients for many ancient elixir formulas, and quite a few other auxiliary ingredients as well. I wonder how many batches of miraculous pills we can refine!"

Another living fossil was more concerned with matters related to elixirs.

He had been immersed in alchemy for most of his life, and he wanted to try to refine many ancient prescriptions. However, some of the main ingredients were too precious, and he could not take them out of the treasure trove without being absolutely certain of success, which made him very regretful.

Now he can finally try to refine some supposedly miraculous pills. If he can refine a few batches, it will bring tremendous changes to the cultivation of countless people.

At the same time, the Zhou family's various treasure pavilions, divine towers, precious pavilions, auction houses, and all sorts of affiliated trading companies began to acquire large quantities of rare and hard-to-find ancient medicines.

The various oases and even the divine cities of the Northern Region were thrown into an uproar because of the sheer number and variety of items being acquired.

Moreover, it was much more expensive than the market standard price, which was quite surprising.

Moreover, it's not just in the Northern Region; trading companies in the ten ancient cities of the Central Region, such as Wangkong, Zitiandu, Youyue, and Qingming, are also making acquisitions.

Such a major move has not been seen for a long time, and many people are shocked, wondering why the Zhou family has suddenly made such a big move.

However, everyone believed that this must be to refine a large batch of medicine, but they did not know the specific formula and could hardly guess what kind of medicine was to be refined.

However, while such news is a hot topic, it shouldn't escalate further. After all, many powerful families and clans also do this when collecting medicinal herbs, and this kind of hype should gradually subside over time.

The reason it has caused such a huge discussion is mainly because it has been accompanied by the spread of another hot topic.

The hot topic was Zhou Qing's strength displayed in the battle of Hanzhou. With the tireless efforts of many spectators, the news quickly spread throughout the Eastern Wilderness in a very short time.

The discussion was heated in the Northern Region, the Central Region, and the Southern Region as well. In this era of extremely difficult cultivation, people racked their brains but could not understand why someone could defeat the Supreme Elder of a major sect at such a young age.

Although historical records mention many prodigies whose cultivation speed was no weaker than Zhou Qing's, and some even faster, those are ultimately just words in history books, while Zhou Qing was a living, breathing contemporary person.

Furthermore, due to the secrecy of the Qishi Mansion, people are unaware of the geniuses in the other four regions, which is why Zhou Qing's strength has become a hot topic of discussion.

Some even asserted that Zhou Qing looked like a young boy, but he must be an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years.

However, this rumor was dispelled after the Zhou family issued a statement, as the Zhou family personally declared that Zhou Qing was the first divine son of their generation!

As for his age, the Zhou family did not reveal it, which left a huge mystery for the world. Everyone is guessing how old Zhou Qing is now, and there are all sorts of opinions on this point, with fierce debates.

However, the age issue, which is unclear to independent cultivators, is not a problem for other holy land families.

Because each of them had previously gathered some information, knowing that the Zhou family supposedly produced a divine body twelve years ago, coupled with the Zhou family's current statement, the major holy land families were basically aware of the situation.

In the southern wilderness of the East, a heroic figure...

The radiant young man stood before a divine waterfall, like a god descending to earth, his expression calm, exuding an aura of absolute dominance.

"Brother Haoyue, have you heard the news? I heard that the Zhou family's divine body is already able to defeat the Supreme Elder of the Sendai Secret Realm."

This is a spirited girl in purple, with bright, intelligent eyes that curve into crescent shapes as she smiles gently, exuding liveliness and playfulness.

Ji Haoyue did not respond, but a glint flashed in his eyes, which were as bright as stars, clearly indicating that his heart was not as calm as it appeared.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Region, on a simple and desolate mountain peak, a young man, as ethereal as a banished immortal, sat cross-legged on a blue stone. His blue robes fluttered in the wind, and his ten fingers nimbly traced the strings of an ancient zither. Around him, hundreds of birds swarmed, and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

"Ding"

As the final, beautiful note faded, the song came to an end. The young man slowly stood up, looked north, and murmured, "Have you begun to enter the world's eyes yet?"

In the Northern Region, a handsome and refined young man in white robes had just finished his cultivation and came out of seclusion when he heard about this matter.

"Is he the person that the God-King Ancestor often praised?"

The young man smiled gently, seemingly unconcerned.

This matter was not only circulating within the Eastern Wilderness. Or rather, in the eyes of ordinary rogue cultivators or small sects, this news was only spreading within the Eastern Wilderness. However, for those major sects that spanned multiple regions, they also had their own mining areas or stone workshops in the Eastern Wilderness, especially in the Northern Region, and they also received this news.

Therefore, this news also reached the ears of these inter-domain religions.

In the Northern Plains, a young man enveloped in golden light is wreaking havoc in a cultivators' gathering, like a celestial emperor descending to earth.

He stood on the golden ancient chariot, holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword, and with a wave of his hand, he beheaded those who were known as the young prodigies of the Northern Plains.

Surrounding it were the four elements of the starry sky, shining brightly and displaying astonishing phenomena.

"Is this the cultivation level of someone hailed as a prodigy of the Northern Plains? I'm truly disappointed."

The young man remained indifferent, relentlessly slaughtering the cultivators present. No one could withstand a single blow from him; he was truly invincible in this place.

At this moment, a disheveled cultivator covered in blood roared at the boy, "Wolf God, what are you so arrogant about? If you're really that powerful, why don't you go to the Eastern Wilderness and fight the Zhou family's number one divine son!"

The young man turned around, lightly swung his sword, and the cultivator's head was instantly severed from his body, blood spurting out.

"Zhou Qing? There will be a battle, it won't be long." A cold glint flashed in the young man's eyes.

After causing a ruckus at the cultivators' gathering, the young man left, intending to return to his family and teleport to the Eastern Wilderness through the family's domain gate.

However, a small accident occurred on the way to the Hui people.

"Is this the Divine Phoenix Cave?"

As the boy passed a cliff, he sensed a strange energy, so he flew down to explore and found a cave entrance radiating a crimson glow.

"Hmph, what Zhou Qing? I don't believe his luck is stronger than mine. I will be invincible on the path to enlightenment!"

The young man said arrogantly, disdainful of the rumors about the Eastern Wilderness. In his eyes, Zhou Qing was nothing more than a stepping stone on his path to becoming emperor, which he would crush sooner or later.

At this time, half a month had passed since Zhou Qing returned to his clan. Although many immortal treasures had been left in the clan, Zhou Qing still kept some in his landscape map, which was tacitly approved by the clan elders.

At this time, Zhou Qing had already left his family and arrived at a snow-covered ice field, the area where the Jiang family lived.

After settling his family affairs, he came here immediately. In fact, he hadn't seen the God King for many years.

He was quite curious about the God King's current state, and Jiang Yun's mysterious demeanor only fueled his curiosity. So he quickly dealt with everything and came here.

Chapter 69 Opportunity

The Jiang family is more than 200,000 miles away from the Divine City. It sounds like a long distance, but in the vast Northern Region, it is equivalent to being right next to the Divine City.

If a sage were to stand outside the realm and observe the Big Dipper, in his eyes the Jiang family's territory and the divine city would appear to be glued together.

After all, the Northern Region is too vast. There are a great number of holy lands and powerful families on this land. Even an extreme power like the Jiang family's Yaochi only controls an area of ​​about 200,000 li in radius.

This 200,000 li is probably not even one percent of the size of the Northern Region, and no one knows the true size of the Northern Region.

The ancient family of Licheng, which disappeared into history, was just a microcosm of the struggle for power in the Northern Region. It had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, but it turned to ashes 15,000 years ago.

This is the true Northern Region. Apart from the holy families that possess supreme imperial weapons, any lineage is at risk of destruction.

Going back hundreds of thousands of years, there were far more holy sites than there are now, but at least half of them have been lost to history.

The most recent large-scale annihilation occurred during the Dark Turmoil 70,000 to 80,000 years ago, in which countless holy sites perished in that great war.

At the same time, as many holy sites are destroyed, many new holy sites will be established.

In every era that produces a Great Emperor, there are also some Quasi-Emperors and Great Saints. Some of these people come from ancient lineages that have existed for a long time, while others are alone.

Then these people will create their own heritage, transforming it into a new holy land.

Of course, not everyone will create their own power; Gai Jiuyou, for example, did not do so.

The Zhou family was wiped out because of the Dark Turmoil in the Undying Mountain 150,000 years ago, which led to the destruction of many forces and created a large number of power vacancies in the Northern Region.

That upheaval prevented the Northern Region from recovering for tens of thousands of years. The Zhou family's quasi-emperor ancestor founded the Zhou family 100,000 years ago, carving out a niche for himself in the Northern Region, which has been passed down to this day.

This generation is even more outrageous. The emergence of the ancient races alone will bring enormous pressure, not to mention the even more terrifying dark turmoil that follows.

In this dark turmoil, even quasi-emperors are merely larger fodder, and the ancient and powerful extreme forces are also highly likely to be destroyed, let alone the Zhou family.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing felt immense pressure. It was truly difficult. All he could do was cultivate as quickly as possible. He was only at the Dragon Transformation Realm, which was still too weak. He needed to become stronger.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhou Qing had already traveled through dozens of countries on this snow-covered land, and was not far from the pure land where the Jiang family lived.

With Zhou Qing's cultivation level, he could already see the weather in that area from afar.

It was indeed a sacred and pure land. Outside, the land was frozen and barren, with heavy snow falling, but ahead, the clouds were billowing and the land was lush and green.
