Infinite transcendence began with Covering the Sky.

Chapter 260 No one in heaven and earth is like me
Qi Zhe finally left the Southern Region, ignoring the changes in the old land of Yao Guang. The Lord of the Wasteland's words about immortality gave him a headache, simply because he knew the deeper meaning behind them.

However, Qi Zhe had no choice but to accept the treasure he possessed.

Now, Qi Zhe has returned to the Northern Region and arrived at an oasis amidst the vast yellow sand, preparing to return the magic jar.

This oasis spans thousands of miles, with towering, snow-capped mountains reaching into the clouds, and dozens of lakes of varying sizes interconnected at its foot.

"What a beautiful sight!"

Qi Zhe and Duan De strolled leisurely among the snow-capped mountains, marveling at the scenery, but this was not their destination.

The thirteen great bandits of the Northern Region in the past all had secret strongholds. For example, the Azure Dragon King had a small world, and the others were not much different.

However, in these years, many major bandits have been killed one after another, and many bandits have had to band together for survival after being attacked.

They gathered together and flocked to the territory of the First Bandit, where they now reside in a small world.

"laugh!"

A faint sound came from the snow-capped mountains. Qi Zhe led Duan De into the area and saw a beautiful landscape with lush mountains and clear waters, and clusters of villages.

The bandit leader Tu Tian is still quite powerful. He smiled broadly as he led Qi Zhe through the fields, his face beaming with joy as he spoke of the Yao Guang Holy Land:

"I've long been disgusted by that so-called Yao Guang Holy Land. Now we're all looking forward to Brother Qi building another Yao Guang Holy Land!"

The news of the Yao Guang incident spread throughout Beidou within a few days, reaching people in Beiyuan and Nanling. Many people were eagerly awaiting Qi Zhe's next move.

Tu Tianxin was straightforward and said that he could help Qi Zhe establish a great sect and many bandits could be used by him, as long as Qi Zhe nodded.

All of this was because the old immortal was in a life-or-death predicament, trying to break through to the Saint King realm, and was caught between life and death, which led to the plundering of many bandits.

Although the old blind man had severed his Dao, all his cultivation lay in divination and calculation; his combat skills were so-so and unreliable.

But many powerful beings have long been waiting for someone to lead them in a counterattack against the human world, and now Qi Zhe is their hope. Even the old blind man has this idea.

But Qi Zhe frowned upon hearing this, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Rebuilding the Yao Guang Holy Land is not my original intention. I cannot build it, nor do I know where to begin."

Qi Zhe never intended to rebuild Yao Guang. All he could do was eliminate the Ruthless lineage. As for who would rebuild it, he knew exactly who it was.

Moreover, he was well aware that neither the human world nor hell were ordinary forces. As the Assassin Dynasty, its foundation was unimaginable, and it even had a Killing Saint in charge.

If even a Saint were to make a move, he could be killed in a single blow. As long as the various forces in the Eastern Wilderness remain inactive, no one can destroy them.

Qi Zhe found it difficult to respond to the expectations of these great bandits, and he also had his own things to do. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he would embark on the Starry Sky Path.

"What a pity." Tu Tian could only shake his head upon hearing this.

This small world is filled with farmland and villages, crisscrossed by paths, where the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard. It is definitely a rare and tranquil place in the Eastern Wilderness.

Qi Zhe strolled along with Tu Tian and soon arrived at a village, where they encountered many bandits.

The great bandits of the Northern Regions are now gathered here. The third greatest bandit, Xu Tianxiong, the fourth greatest bandit, Qingjiao Wang, and the fifth greatest bandit, Wu Dao, are all here.

But Qi Zhe did not expect that even powerful figures from the Northern Region demon race were here. The Peacock King, the Crimson Dragon Taoist, and the Crow Taoist were all here, seemingly waiting for him.

Many of them stared intently at Qi Zhe, as it was the first time many of them had seen him and they couldn't help but feel curious.

Then, the Peacock King made the first move. He strolled up to Qi Zhe, began to look him up and down, and then smiled and said, "When we parted in the Southern Region, I never imagined that I would see you again today. You have already broken through the Dao and become a king, surpassing us and dominating the Eastern Wilderness."

Qi Zhe was truly surprising, surpassing many of the older generation. Xu Tianxiong, Qingjiao Wang, and others were figures he could hardly reach back then.

Now, in this unchanged world where the Dao of Heaven and Earth has been severed, no one can underestimate Qi Zhe, not even many saints.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe fell silent for a moment before smiling and saying, "Senior, why belittle yourself? I have a premonition that the world is about to change."

Qi Zhe wasn't joking; he genuinely sensed the changes in the world and knew that the Great Dao of the Big Dipper had been reviving recently.

In less than a decade or so, this world will gradually recover, the difficulty of cultivation will decrease, and not only will people who have attained the Dao be able to achieve enlightenment, but even saints will emerge in droves.

"Ha ha."

Upon hearing this, the Peacock King chuckled and then introduced Qi Zhe to many powerful demons, much to Qi Zhe's surprise.

Meanwhile, many bandits kept calling out to Qi Zhe. Amidst the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, Qi Zhe sensed something was amiss; these people might be up to something.

Everything has changed.

Qi Zhe was somewhat dazed. He had only severed his Dao, yet the attitudes of his old friends who knew him had changed. What would happen if he became a saint or an emperor?

Throughout history, great emperors have often been lonely. Perhaps when they reached that level, they truly felt the chill of being at the top, standing alone at the summit, looking down upon everything.

After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, the old Taoist priest with a serious expression sat upright on the stone bench and solemnly said:
"Brother Qi, you will soon be setting foot in the starry sky. Before you leave, have you thought about marriage? We have come here today for that very reason!"

The Crimson Dragon Elder held a high position among the demon races of the Eastern Wilderness. As a top-tier expert, he possessed extraordinary combat power, which was astonishing even before he severed his Dao.

His words did not cause a stir among the crowd. Many powerful demons and bandits were staring at Qi Zhe, seemingly wanting to know his answer.

Qi Zhe grinned upon hearing this. He now understood the group's purpose: they wanted to arrange a marriage for him, and it was probably exactly what he was thinking.

Qi Zhe didn't hesitate and said directly, "No need, everyone, farewell."

After speaking, Qi Zhe immediately stood up. At this moment, many powerful figures were shocked. They did not expect Qi Zhe to be so resolute, refusing to even listen to what was said.

"Brother Qi, please wait!" Old Daoist Chilong hurriedly urged him to stay.

The old Taoist priest Chilong's lips twitched, and he said excitedly, "If Brother Qi is unwilling, we will naturally not force him."

"But I must say, your talent is rare throughout history. Perhaps you should leave behind a seed before you conquer the starry sky, otherwise it would be such a pity."

They all agreed that Qi Zhe wouldn't stay in Beidou for long, because he had already severed his path, and the only way for him to move forward was to enter the starry sky.

At this moment, the old blind man appeared out of nowhere and pulled Qi Zhe aside, muttering to himself, "I foresee that you will not return, and may die in battle."

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhe's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but retort, "Even someone as strong as me would die in battle against a formidable enemy, so leaving behind descendants would only be repeating the same mistake!"

Qi Zhe didn't believe in the old blind man's methods. He didn't care whether the old blind man could be predicted or not; even if he could, it would probably be mostly untrue.

He was confident that he was invincible among men, and even if he embarked on the ancient path through the stars, he could push forward without ever dying in battle.

"It is not that I am arrogant, but that I know there is no one else in the world like me."

I'm having a bit of writer's block.
