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

“Even I couldn’t forge weapons in the seventh level of the Fire Domain without using extraordinary treasures. This is where top-tier Saint Lords and Emperors forge weapons,” Zhou Chang said slowly.

"It's dangerous here. Are you sure you really want to try drawing the Five Elements True Fire into your body?"

The five-colored flames flowing here are called the Five Elements True Fire, which most powerful beings cannot withstand and will be burned to ashes.

"It's alright, I also have some methods to suppress these flames."

"Its power." Zhou Qing said calmly.

Zhou Qing tried to send a wisp of five-colored flame into the Sea of ​​Bitterness. This Five Elements True Fire was far more terrifying than the Purple Fire. Even with the seven-colored Sea of ​​Bitterness blocking the way, terrifying heat still emanated from it, and Zhou Qing's body felt as if it were about to burn.

At the critical moment, the three thousand golden worlds within Zhou Qing's body suddenly shone brightly, their sacred light flowing above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, almost connecting the three thousand worlds into one. It was as if another golden ocean had appeared in the sky, blotting out the sun.

Zhou Qing remained calm and unhurried, circulating his profound magic to manipulate the phenomena, covering the Five Elements True Fire with this golden light. Instantly, the terrifying heat dissipated.

It was as if the gods had separated the flames from the world, and the endless holy light had transformed into a sacred land for the gods, a land that nothing could break through.

At this moment, it was as if a sun had appeared in Zhou Qing's sea of ​​suffering, radiant and holy, impervious to all laws.

The Five Elements True Fire is incredibly hot and terrifying; even ordinary powerful beings would be burned to ashes. But at this moment, it is completely concentrated in one place, and not a single bit of heat can escape.

At the same time, this five-colored flame is a rare treasure among fires, unseen in the world. In the entire Southern Region, only this place has not lost its flame, making it a top-grade fire source for refining weapons.

Zhou Chang's expression was solemn, and all his attention was focused on Zhou Qing. If Zhou Qing showed any signs of being unable to hold on, he would activate the Great Saint Weapon with all his might to suppress the power of the flames.

At this moment, Zhou Qing was surrounded by a divine light, like a son of heaven, exuding a strong holy aura that seemed to inspire worship, as if a god-king had personally descended.

In this way, Zhou Qing gradually absorbed the colorful mist into his body, and the flames within him gradually formed a fist-sized patch of five-colored cloud flames, burning fiercely and enveloping the much rounder lump of divine iron.

The clanging sounds rang out continuously, even reaching the outside world, as if they were forging extremely hard divine iron.

A month later, the shape of a door appeared in the colorful clouds, and Zhou Qing stopped.

The door is entirely seven-colored, covered with densely packed and intricate patterns that are so complex that they can make one dizzy at first glance.

He was no bigger than a fist and did not radiate any divine light, but as he hovered in the void, he gave people a feeling of being one with the void, seemingly very close to the Dao.

"brush."

With a flash of light, the small door flew out of his body and hovered in front of Zhou Qing.

Zhou Chang had been watching and listening to the sounds of blacksmithing for a whole month, and only then did he see Zhou Qing's work, which left him amazed.

“This shape of vessel is truly rare. I have traversed the Eastern Wilderness for two thousand years and have only seen a few vessels of this appearance.”

Zhou Qing nodded, but said nothing.

With a thought, the small door instantly grew larger, becoming more than a person's height. Then, he activated his divine power and used profound techniques to control the door.

"Thorn."

The door slowly opened, but inside was nothingness, seemingly empty. It was a small space, not very large now, but enough to hold a few houses.

A powerful suction force appeared, forming a dark vortex at the entrance. Countless Five Elements True Fires surged into the portal as if blown by a gale.

Zhou Chang quickly used his sacred weapon, and strands of immortal light descended to protect the two of them.

The vortex spun wildly, absorbing a large amount of the Five Elements True Fire in no time. Then the portal slowly closed, and with a "bang," all the Five Elements True Fire was trapped inside.

“Very good, now we finally have our own weapon. There’s nothing left to do in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. Next, we should break through to the Dao Palace Secret Realm.” A hint of joy appeared on Zhou Qing’s face.

Chapter 15 Mountains and Rivers Map

After leaving the Fire Domain, I searched the surrounding mountains and found a quiet place.

The area is lush with vegetation, cascading waterfalls, and gurgling springs; it is truly magnificent.

In this mountain range, the spiritual energy here is the most abundant, with ancient trees stretching out their branches and colorful exotic flowers blooming.

Zhou Qing presented various materials, including star stones and divine blood soil, which were engraved with many Dao patterns.

Night had fallen, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, emitting a soft light, like wisps of smoke.

Zhou Qing distributed these materials in various places according to a certain pattern. When the last place was arranged, the spiritual energy in this area suddenly became richer.

The starlight, like water, filled the sky, a vast expanse of white, converging into a river that flowed into a cave.

Starlight cascaded down like a waterfall, creating a hazy, radiant scene, like a fairyland.

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, feeling as if his internal organs had been nourished, and immediately felt refreshed and invigorated.

Zhou Qing took a step, seemingly shrinking the distance to an inch, and instantly disappeared into the cave he had created.

With a flash of light, a large number of colorful sources appeared around, with swirling, vibrant mist emanating from them, radiating a pure life energy.

Zhou Chang stood not far from the cave, his clothes fluttering and his hair as white as snow, like a gentle breeze in the mountains and forests. He had no powerful or fierce aura, but instead looked very peaceful and serene.

Although he didn't seem to possess any powerful aura, he had already covered the surrounding mountains and forests with his divine sense, so anyone who intruded would be immediately detected.

Zhou Qing has already reached the Great Perfection of the Sea of ​​Wheels. Although there are single-realm cultivation methods in this world, almost no one would choose to cultivate a single-realm.

Although legend has it that in ancient times there were great beings who could cultivate a single secret realm and be comparable to sages, Zhou Qing did not intend to cultivate only one secret realm. Firstly, there was no cultivation method for a single secret realm, so he did not know where to begin. Secondly, each secret realm had its own unique wonders, which could only be experienced through cultivation.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the source pile, absorbing streams of life essence into his body, which flowed through his limbs and bones, nourishing the sea of ​​bitterness and strengthening his divine power.

Many people cross the threshold to the other shore in order to prolong their lives. Cultivating a Taoist temple and raising five deities is a secret method for extending life and the foundation for cultivating Taoist power.

The Lunhai (CV6) is located below the navel, while the Daogong (CV8) corresponds to the five internal organs and is enclosed by the ribcage.

The five deities in the Dao Palace are closely related to them, and can generate Dao power and vitality, making it a place to nourish life.

The five organs—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—are collectively known as the Five Viscera or the Five Spirits. They store essence and energy without dissipating, and preserve life without decaying. They represent an extremely powerful and mysterious realm within the human body.

If a person can nourish their spirit, they will not die. The five spirits will always be present, and they will remain forever young. They will be connected to the five elements, linked to heaven and earth, and endlessly exist in the world.

The Dao Palace is a secret realm that cannot be ignored. If you want to achieve immortality, you must work hard in this secret realm. If you want to reach a higher level and comprehend the Dao of Immortality, you also need to evolve the Five Elements here.

What is Dao power? Dao power is different from divine power. Divine power is formed by the condensation of life essence and is the transformation of life force into divine power. Divine power flows out from the wheel of life.

Dao power originates from the five internal organs of the Dao Palace. Dao power can transform into life force, nourish life, transform into deities, and connect with heaven and earth.

It draws upon the five elements, and its various wondrous applications are truly endless.

Above the Sea of ​​Wheels, there is a Heavenly Gate. By passing through this gate, one can reach another secret realm.

Zhou Qing walked lightly and leisurely, stepping on the void as if shrinking the earth to an inch. In just a few steps, he arrived in front of the Heavenly Gate.

Inside the Heavenly Gate, the aura of a deity emanated; he sensed the power of the Dao.

Zhou Qing stepped inside, and the next moment, the sky was high and the earth was vast. He entered a new world, full of vitality.

At that moment, a surge of seven-colored energy rushed out in all directions like a tidal wave, causing the entire cave to shake.

Five streams of divine smoke, like dragons, soared into the sky, clearly visible even from a hundred miles away.

Fortunately, this place was covered with endless Dao patterns, which concealed this strange phenomenon; otherwise, it would have caused a sensation in the surrounding cities.

In no time, the cave collapsed with a roar, raising a cloud of dust that filled the sky and the earth.

A figure flashed by and stood beside Zhou Chang; it was Zhou Qing, who had just emerged from seclusion.

This seclusion lasted only half a month. Zhou Qing is only seven years old now, but he has already passed through the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm and become a cultivator in the Dao Palace Secret Realm. In some small sects, this is already a sect leader level existence.

It took three years to go from the Sea of ​​Bitterness to the Dao Palace. During that time, he not only cultivated himself, but also studied Dao patterns for a long time, refined his own weapon, and practiced various secret techniques in the scriptures. The actual time he spent cultivating himself was only two years.

"I want to go out and gain experience for a while, to explore this land on my own," Zhou Qing said.

This level of cultivation may seem to be only at the second level of the secret realm, but it already provides considerable self-protection capabilities. In most countries, the sect leaders are only at the Dao Palace level.

"This trip will last for about six months. I won't interfere with your actions, but I will follow you closely so that I can get there in time if anything unexpected happens."

Zhou Qing frowned and said, "Alright, that works too, but if I get into a conflict with someone, I hope I can resolve things on my own and not rely on you all the time."

"Haha, don't worry about that. We're not some old-fashioned stubborn fools. When I was young, I fought my way through countless talented young people," Zhou Chang said with a laugh.

Although Zhou Qing was still young, he was as tall as an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. He had a delicate and flawless face, clear eyes, and a calm and composed demeanor.

At this moment, Zhou Chang suddenly took out many treasures, including radiant divine weapons such as bronze mirrors, bronze lamps, small swords, and bells; fragrant spiritual herbs such as divine phoenix grass, divine blue flowers, and jade lotus seeds; and even a drop of the medicinal liquid of an 80,000-year-old medicine king.

Among the divine weapons, there is a picture that is particularly eye-catching.

The painting hangs in the air, making a rustling sound, like a world rising and falling, radiant with divine light.

It was as if a world had pressed down, covering the sky, with towering mountains, mighty rivers, countless dragon veins, and a black sun hanging on the horizon.

The painting exudes a hazy purple aura, with countless strands hanging down, as heavy as a mountain.

"This is a legendary sacred weapon, a landscape map of an ancestor. The clan has entrusted it to you as your protective treasure."

Zhou Chang said with a smile.

"After you reach the Four Extremes, I can give you this bead that I brought out. This was personally instructed by the Great Sage Ancestor before he sealed it into the Divine Source."

Zhou Qing was somewhat surprised to see so many treasures. There were simply too many, and each item was extraordinary. Even the weakest divine weapon was forged by cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and there were more than a dozen of these weapons.

Chapter 16 Lightning Bird

Zhou Qing put away the treasures and then began to walk alone in the vast mountain range.

The Qixia Mountain Range of the Jin Kingdom is vast, and the Peacock King's small world is located somewhere in the Qixia Mountain Range. The entrance is covered by Dao patterns, and without a certain level of cultivation, it is impossible to find the entrance to the small world.

Zhou Qing had been walking for a whole day, but he had not yet left the mountain range. The mountains were majestic and the range was continuous, with ancient trees reaching the sky and old vines winding around, just like a primeval forest.

Zhou Chang's whereabouts were unknown, but Zhou Qing could not detect his presence at all; his divine sense could not find Zhou Chang's figure within its range.

Suddenly, a sharp bird cry rang out from the sky, and a golden lightning bolt streaked across the sky, tearing out dozens of powerful bolts of lightning, like golden snakes dancing.

"It's actually a lightning bird! Judging from its cultivation level, it's comparable to a cultivator at the first level of the Dao Palace." Zhou Qing looked surprised.

This Zapdos is entirely golden, as if cast from gold, with intense electric light. Its head is slightly raised, like a phoenix crown, making it look extraordinary.

This is an extremely rare bird with a very strong ability to evolve. Many cultivators want to obtain a lightning bird egg to keep as a pet.

Moreover, this is not an ordinary Zapdos, but a unique species, the Crowned Zapdos, which is incomparable to other Zapdos.

"This is a great mount; it's an excellent choice for transportation."

Zhou Qing immediately soared into the sky, and in an instant, a figure appeared in the sky. The powerful divine energy fluctuations surged like a vast ocean. Although it looked small, the figure was as deep and unfathomable as the sea, giving the lightning bird a strong sense of pressure.

Zapdos was extremely agitated, transforming into a bolt of lightning and charging straight at the enemy, its body wreathed in brilliant divine light, as if golden flames were burning.

In an instant, the void seemed to distort as the lightning bird swooped down on Zhou Qing, dozens of bolts of lightning striking him.

"Just in time!"
