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

The more Zhou Qing comprehended the Great Dao of Destiny, the more he felt its vastness and profound mystery; ordinary people couldn't even begin to grasp its essence.

Even without deduceing the changing fortunes of the Big Dipper, relying solely on his own understanding of the current situation...

With this understanding, he could also guess that a struggle would inevitably occur among the various holy sons and geniuses in the future.

This is inevitable, because as they grow older and their cultivation levels rise, the prodigies of various forces will gradually emerge from their solitary cultivation and no longer be hidden away by these forces. They will inevitably come out into the world and walk on this land.

In this process, it is inevitable that geniuses will fight each other, which is easy to foresee.

Therefore, some people will inevitably suffer losses, while others will win by a small margin. The strong will always be strong. Once they take the lead and suppress their opponents, it will be easy for them to suppress their opponents again.

In terms of fortune, one person's fortune becomes increasingly abundant while another person's fortune continuously declines, making it increasingly difficult for them to turn the tide until they are finally killed, their life's fortune dissipates, and their fate ends.

"What are the connections, commonalities, and differences between the past, present, and future?"

Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh. He could glimpse the future through the Great Dao of Destiny, and he could also clear away the fog of history through the Great Dao of Destiny. The so-called time is not just a definition in language, but a real change reflected in the real world.

However, while he could draw inferences from the Great Dao of Destiny, he did not truly comprehend the Great Dao of Time. This type of Dao is difficult to grasp at a low level without the guidance of scriptures from predecessors.

Due to its inherent characteristics, or rather, due to the characteristics of the world, the Void Path can concentrate power in one place and create a void rift when one reaches the Four Extremes or transforms into a dragon. Therefore, it is relatively not that obscure and is quite easy to comprehend.

However, the Great Dao of Time is somewhat vague and unclear. Even saints find it difficult to comprehend even a fraction of it. On the ancient starry road, a certain prodigy merely used a seemingly mysterious time-related technique, which greatly shocked Longma, demonstrating just how difficult it is to grasp the concept of time.

The same applies to the Great Dao of Chaos. That certain prodigy only glimpsed a small part of the Chaos Order Divine Chain and comprehended a little bit of the Chaos Law. He couldn't even condense a single Chaos Order Divine Chain himself, yet he still used this Great Dao as his trump card.

The Great Dao of Destiny is also something that cannot be comprehended at this level. However, Zhou Qing's innate conditions are too perfect, which is why he was able to break the rules of cultivation and comprehend destiny to an extremely profound level in the early stages of cultivation.

Zhou Qing's understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth has always been at the forefront. He has a wide range of knowledge about the Dao, has mastered several imperial scriptures, and can also read more than a dozen other sacred texts in his clan at any time. His vision and depth of understanding of the Dao are comparable to those of a half-saint.

This was not his boast, but rather the evaluation given by the Zhou family patriarch after a discussion with him on a certain topic.

For ordinary characters in the second stage of the game, who are at the eighth minor level, if they want to climb to the ninth minor level, they must first comprehend the Dao. They must understand the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to a certain extent before they can open up enough inner Dao in their human body's divine treasure. It takes two steps to advance.

Zhou Qing, however, did not need to take the first step. His profound understanding of the Great Dao gave him enough foundation to climb the ninth step as soon as he entered the eighth step.

What's missing is simply the transformation after the external path reflects the internal path, which would allow one to directly proceed to the second step of cultivation.

.

All the prodigies who can fight across borders are in the same situation: their understanding of the Great Dao surpasses their own realm, and their theory leads their practice. Therefore, they can advance faster than ordinary people.

"Divine restriction, this state is truly mysterious, but it's a pity it can't last long, otherwise the speed of cultivation improvement could be even faster."

Since breaking through to the second level of the Immortal Realm, he has spent more than two years constantly studying the Eight Forbidden Domains, trying to comprehend its mysteries and break through this restriction.

Occasionally, he would have a novel experience, as if he had ascended to heaven, his essence, energy and spirit were instantly sublimated, breaking through the eight restrictions, and his combat power broke through infinitely, without any limitations!

The concept of "divine prohibition" is something most independent cultivators have never even heard of, and even some major sects, though they may have heard of it, have no corresponding ancient records about it.

However, within the Zhou family, although the ancient books related to the divine prohibitions were top secret, Zhou Qing could freely browse them.

The Zhou family's ancestor was truly unparalleled and invincible back then, stunning the ages and breaking countless myths. Although the divine restrictions were extremely mysterious, the Zhou family's ancestor left behind a thick ancient book, full of research on the divine restrictions.

This is the difference between having power and not having power. In just over two years, Zhou Qing comprehended the divine restrictions more than a dozen times. This was not only due to his talent, but also because there were a great many mysteries of the divine restrictions for him to study.

Divine Forbidden State is an incredibly profound state where all secrets can be used, no longer subject to restrictions, breaking through the shackles of the Eight Forbidden States, allowing the human body to reach its strongest state, entering the extreme number of nine, or even surpassing nine, becoming invincible and capable of killing gods!

His will seemed to be above heaven and earth; no matter what lay ahead, he pressed forward relentlessly and shattered it all!

The secret of the word "all"—the nine secrets he had long been unable to use—was finally unleashed once again. It was an unimaginable sublimation; he was freed from all constraints in every aspect of his being, and even his enlightenment was able to reach a deeper level.

However, each entry lasts only a moment, and the experience quickly fades away, returning to the mortal world; it cannot last long.

The reasons for this are complex, but having read the ancient book on divine prohibitions research by his ancestors, Zhou Qing naturally knew what secrets it contained. Even the essence of divine prohibitions was clearly recorded in that ancient book.

The duration of the divine restriction can only increase as one's cultivation level rises, and the frequency of its triggering will also increase.

Of course, not everyone is like this. The reasons for the opening of the divine restriction are very complex and related to too many factors.

In general, even if one enters the state of divine restriction in the second game, it can only last for a moment. This has nothing to do with the understanding of divine restriction, nor with a person's talent. It is due to the limitation of the law, the limitation of this cultivation method.

Only by continuously improving one's realm and delving deeper into the cultivation of the Five Secret Realms, until becoming a Great Emperor and perfectly integrating the Five Secret Realms into one, can one truly settle into this realm.

Among them, truly exceptional geniuses can delve into the research of divine restrictions at the Quasi-Emperor stage to the point where they can activate them autonomously. Before reaching this level, it is impossible to activate them autonomously under any circumstances.

It's like teaching a tadpole to walk; it's not a matter of effort, but rather that it hasn't yet learned to walk.

If you've evolved to that stage, no matter how hard you try to force it, it will all be in vain.

“If it’s a chaotic ancient method or a pollen path, there shouldn’t be any restrictions from the Eight Prohibitions,” Zhou Qing sighed.

The Eight Forbidden Rules are a unique feature of the Heaven-Covering Law. They restrict all geniuses and truly suppress everything. Even if one breaks through to the Divine Forbidden Rules, one will eventually fall down without achieving the Dao.

But this is normal, after all, the Heaven-Covering Technique, even now, is not a perfect cultivation path.

Back then, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor passed down five great secret realms, but he did not pass down the methods for cultivating these five great secret realms.

In the earliest times of the era, ancient sages constantly explored and sought out methods of cultivation, gradually forging a path of spiritual practice.

However, in the beginning, people did not even know which secret realm came first and which came later. Some people cultivated the Sea of ​​Wheels first, some cultivated the Dao Palace first, and there were even many single secret realm cultivation methods.

It wasn't until the emergence of various celestial beings that people discovered the commonalities in cultivation among numerous successful cases, thus confirming that the lower dantian is the first secret realm of the human body, followed by the Dao Palace, the Four Extremes, the Dragon Transformation, and the Immortal Platform.

It was only after the appearance of one Celestial Venerable after another that people gradually abandoned the method of cultivating in a single secret realm. This was because people discovered that in order to successfully attain enlightenment, one must cultivate in all five secret realms, since the final sublimation is the fusion of the five secret realms into one.

However, if one specializes in only one secret realm, one cannot advance further after becoming a Great Sage. Without mastering all five secret realms, one cannot even break through to the Quasi-Emperor level.

Moreover, when one reaches the Quasi-Emperor level, each secret realm needs to be rebuilt. At that time, each secret realm will be as profound as those who cultivate only one secret realm. Only when each of the five secret realms is comparable to those who cultivate only one secret realm can one have the foundation to prove the Dao.

After the Celestial Venerables opened up the path, they continuously improved the cultivation methods of each secret realm, and finally found a cultivation method that was relatively suitable for most people. This is how the four realms of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm came about: the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Spring of Life, the Divine Bridge, and the Other Shore.

Yes, the four realms of Bitter Sea, Fountain of Life, Divine Bridge, and Other Shore are not the absolute truth of cultivation in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm; they are merely one method of cultivating the Sea of ​​Wheels.

Even in Zhou Qing's view, these four realms actually have a major flaw: they are too focused on connecting with the next secret realm.

This cannot be said to be wrong, because it was originally created for the majority of ordinary people.

The purpose of cultivating in the Bitter Sea and Life Spring realms is to release the Wheel of Life and prolong life, which is normal.

However, there were problems with the Divine Bridge and the Other Shore. He completely abandoned further development of the Sea of ​​Wheels and began to focus all his efforts on exploring the next secret realm, completely ignoring the Sea of ​​Wheels secret realm.

For most ordinary people, this is the most suitable option, because without crossing the divine bridge, it is difficult for them to sense the existence of the next secret realm.

However, for true geniuses, this method was too hasty. They were actually capable of exploring the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm more deeply, but in the end, they could only give up.

The four realms of the Sea of ​​Wheels are not the absolute truth of cultivation. Even the Dao Palace, which is in the second secret realm of cultivation, is actually unstable.

At least Zhou Qing knew that when Ye Fan created the Heavenly Emperor Scripture in the future, he divided the Sea of ​​Wheels into nine minor realms and treated them as a whole for cultivation, thus delving into the essence of the Yin-Yang Great Dao.

Because he incorporated the cultivation method of the special realm, he mastered all nine minor realms and could reach the perfection of the saint realm. Only then could he transcend the sea of ​​reincarnation and enter the second major realm of the human body.

Moreover, the second great secret realm is not the Dao Palace, but the Four Extremes. Whether the Dao Palace must be located in the second secret realm for cultivation does not seem to be absolute.

“Laws need to be deduced and perfected. Perhaps one day in the future, the Heaven-Covering Law can also break free from the restrictions of the Eight Forbidden Rules, allowing geniuses who have amazed the ages to truly display their talents, instead of being forcibly suppressed to the same level as ordinary geniuses as they are now,” Zhou Qing said regretfully.

He was a victim of the Eight Forbidden Restrictions. Although his understanding of the Great Dao far exceeded this realm, he was unable to remain within the Divine Forbidden Zone for long.

Others can only reach the Eight Forbidden Points. Even if they reach the Divine Forbidden Points and are not restricted, most people can only enter the Nine Extreme Numbers.

But once he breaks through the divine restriction, he can instantly surpass the extreme number nine and fully unleash his Great Dao, crossing countless realms.

"If I'm going to create my own scriptures in the future, I must get rid of the eight restrictions. These things are really annoying." Zhou Qing silently made a decision.

Chapter 136 Chains of Order

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Fan and the others have been in this world for a month.

A dozen or so atheists who had recently become atheists have gradually adapted to life here within the past month. The first change is in their mindset; they need to slowly accept this world where spiritual practice is possible.

This is not difficult. Anyone who looks at these floating islands, majestic floating mountains, countless celestial palaces and towers, and those cultivators who can fly around and do anything, can quickly change their mindset.

A crane spread its wings and flew, stirring up a gust of wind and raising a cloud of dust before slowly landing on the green grass.

"Ouch."

A tall man climbed down from the crane, tiptoeing, but his legs buckled when he landed, and he fell to his knees.

"Ye Zi, come help me! Wow, flying in the sky feels so exciting!" Pang Bo shouted to the distance.

On a flat bluestone, Ye Fan sat cross-legged, holding a relatively new book in his hand, which seemed to have been written not long ago. He was completely focused on it, occasionally flipping through the pages.

"Everything has a place of origin and birth, and the human body also has such a place, which is the root of life vitality, containing the essence of the whole body. It is called the life source wheel, or the wheel of life, and the location of the life wheel is below the navel."

Ye Fan read it carefully and tried to understand its contents in his own way.

"This coincides with the golden ratio of the human body. The ratio from the sole of the foot to the top of the head is 0.618, which is called the golden ratio of the human body. The area below the navel is exactly at that position."

Upon seeing this content, the information immediately flashed through Ye Fan's mind, allowing him to better understand the Wheel of Life.

Hearing Pang Bo's call, Ye Fan looked up with a helpless expression and said, "We haven't even started cultivating yet, and you're already so eager to ride the crane around. You'd be better off using that time to study the ancient scriptures properly. You'll be able to fly on your own in the future. Sit down for a while and rest."

"Hehe, Yezi, you don't understand. It's because we can't fly yet that we want to ride cranes and soar. It's much more exciting than riding a roller coaster. The wind hits your face, which is both scary and exciting. After you become an immortal, you won't feel like a mortal anymore."

Pang Bo said with a smile.

The crane spread its wings again, flew into the sky, and disappeared in a moment.

Pang Bo remained seated on the ground, showing no intention of getting up. He looked at the book in Ye Fan's hand and suddenly said, "Are you reading this book too? I saw Zhou Yi, Wang Ziwen, Lin Jia, and Li Xiaoman reading this book when I was wandering around in the sky just now."

Ye Fan was not surprised at all. He replied while reading the book, "That's normal. I asked the old man when I went to borrow books a few days ago. This ancient book is the most suitable book for mortals to lay the foundation for cultivation. Its explanation of cultivation is unique, but it goes straight to the essence of cultivation. It is the most unique among the hundreds of thousands of scriptures in the Zhou family."

"No wonder they're all reading this book. They're all working so hard, which makes me seem a bit out of place," Pang Bo said self-deprecatingly.

"Speaking of which, Ye Zi, have you ever thought about getting back together with Li Xiaoman? Since coming here..."

A whole new world, perhaps also a whole new beginning.

Ye Fan paused in his book-turning motion and said, "That's meaningless. Whether it's me or her, our current thought is to embark on cultivation as soon as possible. When it comes to matters of the heart, there's no such thing as a true restart. Things are ultimately different."

After saying that, he glanced at the sun to confirm the time, and then said, "It's almost time for the Zhou family elders to give their sermon today. Let's go there and wait for them in advance."

Pang Bo's leg was feeling better. He supported himself on the ground with his hands and slowly stood up, saying, "Let's go."

Ye Fan returned to his small room, closed the book, and placed it on the table.

The most prominent feature above is the four large characters: "True Understanding of Cultivation".

The lower line of small print reads: Author: Zhou Qing.

After leaving the house, Ye Fan and Pang Bo walked together toward an open space on the island.

On the way, Zhang Wenchang and Liu Yiyi met up with them. All four of them lived in the same area, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, they arrived at their destination.

There aren't many people here yet. The four of them arrived quite early. The other students are still on their way. Only Li Xiaoman is sitting on the first prayer mat, waiting quietly.

Ye Fan walked to the front naturally and sat on the second futon, his expression calm.
