Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 226 What Do Cultivators Seek in Their Lifetime?

There are thousands of ancient cities in the Central Region, some of which have endured countless years. Each one is like a history book, carrying a profound sense of vicissitude.

Qi Zhe has now arrived in an ancient city with the Black Emperor and Duan De. This city is millions of miles away from the Undying Mountain and is located in the eastern part of the Central Region.

The ancient city walls bear the marks of swords and battles, each one carrying an ancient feel, left behind by people from a long time ago.

Duan De led Qi Zhe to a restaurant, where he and Hei Huang began to drink and recount the major events of the year. Meanwhile, the old blind man had already left.

"The God King is missing, otherwise the Jiang family would have arrived this time as well." Duan De stroked his fat chin, a look of regret on his face.

He felt that the Jiang family's God King was most likely dead. A peerless hero had finally passed away, and he wondered what kind of divine weapon he had left behind.

Black Emperor, clutching a wine jar, slurped and said, "You fatso, you're up to no good again! Do you know you've been blacklisted by many forces?"

In the year since Duan De's birth, he has remained incorrigible, wreaking havoc on many major sects in the Northern Region in a very short time, thus fulfilling his original promise.

If he weren't traveling with Qi Zhe, this guy would be hunted down by various forces to the point of being unable to show his face. Even so, there are still people waiting for him outside the ancient city.

Duan De remained silent for a long while after hearing this, then muttered, "It's not easy to survive in the Eastern Wilderness. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come back."

Duan De was not joking. He had already left the Eastern Wilderness for the Central Plains, where he cultivated archaeology and explored great tombs, and had experienced many hardships.

The most recent major event was the emergence of the Immortal Abode in the Central Region, which caused an uproar in the Five Regions of the Big Dipper, with many people going there to search for treasures.

"Speaking of which, that kid was really lucky to actually get the Taihuang Scripture." Duan De said with a jealous look on his face, saying that Ye Fan had obtained a great opportunity there.

Qi Zhe's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he turned to look at Hei Huang, asking, "Ye Fan went to Zhongzhou? When did he leave?"

Ye Fan had gone to Zhongzhou half a year ago and had long since parted ways with the Black Emperor. Qi Zhe's question at this time surprised the Black Emperor.

It was actually quite embarrassing to admit that Ye Fan's journey to Zhongzhou was entirely due to him, because more than half a year ago, this guy had abandoned Pang Bo, who had just escaped, in Zhongzhou.

At that time, Qi Zhe was still in seclusion. This guy, along with Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Xiao Nannan, and a few bandits, ventured deep into the Undying Mountain, alarming the headless knight in the Undying Mountain.

Tu Fei was thrown to the Northern Plains, while Pang Bo was thrown to the Central Plains. They themselves almost ended up in the Western Desert, where Ye Fan angrily rebuked them for being unreliable.

"Hehe!" Black Emperor chuckled awkwardly, unsure how to respond to Qi Zhe, and could only pretend to be clueless.

Qi Zhe didn't say much after hearing this, shook his head and stopped worrying about it. Ye Fan's experience should be similar; there were some things he was destined to experience.

Seeing this, Duan De couldn't help but say, "I think you should come with me to Zhongzhou. The human race and the ancient race in the Eastern Wilderness have already shown signs of war, and I think it won't be long before a great battle breaks out!"

The situation in the Eastern Wilderness is not good. Although no major war has been triggered yet, there are signs that a major war will definitely break out. This is a consensus among many people.

Qi Zhe shared the same sentiment upon hearing this, knowing that this day was not far off, and that many great sages would be born within the next ten years.

"The Eastern Wilderness is indeed too small for me," Qi Zhe thought, somewhat tempted. Having cultivated to his level, he needed a wider world.

The powerful lords of the major forces in the Eastern Wilderness would not fight him; only by going to the Central Continent could he encounter opponents like the Central Emperor and the Southern Demon.

Seeing that Qi Zhe was somewhat interested, Duan De quickly began to embellish the story, claiming that if the two of them joined forces, the entire Central Domain Tomb would belong to them.

Qi Zhe remained silent upon hearing this, but ultimately did not refuse.

Seeing this, the Black Emperor lost interest. It would not leave the Eastern Wilderness simply because Purple Mountain was right there, and even though Duan De had tried to persuade it for a long time, it still hadn't taken any action.

Just as Qi Zhe and the others were enjoying their drinks, another ancient clan finally arrived in this ancient city, and the Holy Prince, dressed in black iron armor, appeared here.

He appeared to be only a little over six feet tall, but his physique was exceptionally robust, with golden hair covering his entire body, exuding an astonishing aura of power. In the Eastern Wilderness today, everyone knew his name, for he was the true son of an ancient emperor, sealed since the beginning of time, possessing unparalleled combat prowess.

As he appeared, the entire ancient city gradually quieted down, much to the surprise of many cultivators who lingered there.

"The Holy Emperor's heir... Is he here for Qi Juejing?" Someone stared at his back, feeling that a fierce battle was inevitable.

Qi Zhe naturally noticed the changes and saw the other party approaching through the ancient city, which surprised him.

Duan De and Hei Huang both sensed something and were surprised to see the Holy Prince come to their door, feeling that the other party might have ill intentions.

Black Emperor couldn't help but warn, "Be careful, he has an uncle on Mount Sumeru in the Western Desert who became a Buddha hundreds of years ago and wields a celestial iron rod!"

It was probably several thousand years ago that the Fighting Saint King broke out of the divine source and was born. When he was confused, he went into the foot of Purple Mountain and awakened it and Gu Tianshu.

Hundreds of years ago, the Fighting Saint King left with Gu Tianshu. After the Black Emperor awoke, he inquired about the matter in every possible way and finally learned that the other party was now on Mount Sumeru.

However, it no longer heard any news about Gu Tianshu, which led it to believe that Gu Tianshu was dead; otherwise, it would not have said that the other party was still alive.

The approach of the Holy Prince reminded it of the old monkey, and in an instant, all of Black Emperor's muscles tensed up, and its tail drooped down.

"laugh!"

Two beams of golden light shot out from the eyes of the Holy Prince, as he responded to Qi Zhe's gaze, his entire being filled with fighting spirit.

But then he suddenly suppressed his imposing aura and laughed, "I've observed you undergoing your tribulation for seven days, and what happened during that time has indeed exceeded my comprehension."

How were you able to do that?

The Holy Prince was not a reckless fool; he possessed his own wisdom. Although he wanted to fight Qi Zhe, he was even more curious about why Qi Zhe was so powerful.

He also underwent tribulations after his birth. While cultivating in the source, he accumulated too many heavenly tribulations that he had not yet overcome, but even so, he was not as amazing as Qi Zhe.

He was very curious about Qi Zhe's strength, and this question came out of his personality; his straightforwardness was quite unexpected.

Qi Zhe was the same. After a moment of silence, he calmly said, "Perhaps it's because what you seek is different. I seek transcendence, but what do you seek?"

The Holy Prince's experiences made him very independent. Although his father left him nothing, he gave him a free spirit.

Despite being an ancient prince, he did not need protectors. He was all alone, possessing only an iron rod he had forged himself, and he dared to humbly ask others for their advice and guidance.

Qi Zhe's words were very vague and contained no mystery, but the Holy Prince fell into deep thought, opening his mouth but unable to speak.

He was born too soon and sought too much, just like Wushi wanted to live on his parents. No one knows whether he wanted to see the Fighting Saint Emperor again.

The offspring of the Great Emperor and the Ancient Emperor are the most unique and powerful beings in the world, blessed with extraordinary talents but also bound by the shackles that prevent them from attaining enlightenment.

They had seen their fathers, who were invincible in the world, and basked in their glory. From a young age, they longed to see their parents again.

The Holy Prince couldn't answer and said with some regret, "Although we didn't fight, I know you're better than me; victory or defeat was decided in a single blow."

As he spoke, he swung the iron rod forward, shattering the void. Qi Zhe, seeing this, summoned his stone rod and charged forward, unleashing a strike in an instant.

"boom!!!"

I have no ideas.
