There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 171 Touring the World [Fourth Update]

As Chen Qing's voice fell, a deafening roar erupted from all directions!
Heaven and earth seemed to stand still at that moment.

The sound of rushing water echoed in all directions, as if the long river of time had descended!

In the depths of the void, a blurry yet imposing figure stepped out from the frozen mural, ignoring the barriers of time and space, and walked step by step.

His steps were not fast, but with each step, the entire northern ice plain trembled!
The glaciers are silent, the wind and snow are still, and all things bow their heads!

Those were not real footsteps, but the sounds of the Great Dao, the resonance of the rules!
The deadly trap set up by the four Nascent Soul cultivators, with its interwoven divine runes, extinguishing moonlight, heavenly ropes, and annihilating fist intent, vanished into nothingness the instant this figure appeared, disintegrating into the most primordial spiritual energy points and disappearing into the void!
The elder of the Lin family, the scholar of the Liu family, the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Zhenglu Sect, and the Lord of Yuehua Mansion all trembled violently at the same time, as if they had suffered a divine retribution, and rainbows shot from their seven orifices!
Their eyes were filled with unbelievable horror, not only because their offensive had been broken, but also because of the trembling and surrender deep in their souls!
Before that figure, their painstakingly cultivated Nascent Souls wailed, as if fireflies had seen the bright moon, and even looking up directly at it had become a luxury!
Outside the hall, all those who were spying, regardless of their cultivation level, felt a majestic imperial might originating from the primordial era enveloping the surrounding area. Their minds were captivated, their magical power stagnated, and they could not move, let alone think!
Those who used their supernatural powers to spy on the creature had blood streaming from their eyes and were screaming in agony!
"Then...what is that?!"

The Golden Core elder of the Xuan Yin Sect was terrified, his face drained of color, and he muttered to himself, his Dao heart nearly shattered.

The two immortals, Yun Shu and Yu Shu, in the Guanghan Palace, turned pale, their beautiful eyes wide open, and the moonlight on their bodies flickered erratically.

In this moment of utter silence and trembling among all living beings!
That figure stood side by side with Chen Qing.

Chen Qingchao bowed to Him.

The projection of the "Hidden Star True Lord," formed by the power of incense and prayers, suddenly manifested and took the initiative to meet the blurry figure of the Emperor. The two merged like water and milk, becoming one!

boom!
The projection solidified a thousandfold in an instant, temporarily bearing a trace of the true divine aura of the Emperor!

Immediately, the projection bearing immense weight suddenly fell back and merged into Chen Qing's main body!

"Crack!!!"

Chen Qing's body suddenly sank downwards!
Centered on him, the solid ground of the Xuan Palace began to crack violently, and the cracks spread throughout the entire hall in the blink of an eye!
"As Yin and Yang revolve, the stars are arrayed, mountains and seas serve as the foundation, and the Dao is thus established!"

Chen Qing placed his hands together in front of his chest, and each word he uttered resonated with the Daoist sounds in the void, as if he were expounding the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

"My innate divine power: Yin Yang Constellations and Mountains and Rivers Ode!"

"Boom!!!"

A magnificent "Dao Chapter" woven from chaotic runes, star trails, mountain and river veins, and yin and yang energies appeared out of thin air!
As soon as this seal appeared, it only stirred up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles. But as a majestic imperial figure flashed and disappeared from Chen Qing's body, the laws of heaven and earth of the entire Northern Cold Continent were stirred up and resonated!
At this moment, Chen Qing was no longer just using his own divine abilities, but was also imbued with a trace of... the power of heaven and earth!
The four Nascent Soul cultivators received a spiritual warning, their souls trembling. They felt their own Dao foundations shaking violently, and their Nascent Souls trembling, as if they were facing not divine power, but divine punishment!

Death is imminent!

"What exactly has he comprehended?!" the elder of the Lin family screamed, frantically burning his essence blood and activating the magic weapon of law to protect his body.

The scholar from the Liu family turned ashen-faced. He frantically tried to calculate, but found that the secrets of heaven were in complete chaos and that he himself had been completely locked in!

The Nascent Soul of the Righteous Law Sect roared wildly, activating the divine runes of law throughout his body to the extreme, transforming them into layers of barriers.

The Lord of Moonflower Palace transformed into a chilling ray of moonlight, desperately trying to escape!

However, everything is in vain!
The "Dao Chapter," containing endless mysteries, simply spun gently.

The mountain falls!

The phantom of an ancient divine mountain separated from the Daoist text, carrying an unparalleled and immense force, and crashed down on the elder of the Lin family!
The old man roared, and his decrees shone brightly into the sky, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; he was instantly crushed! He and his magical artifact were slammed into the earth!

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the terrain of the icy canyon changed drastically, the landform collapsed, and a towering snow-capped mountain suddenly appeared, piercing the clouds and exuding a chilling aura, forever suppressing it beneath the mountain! Its aura was completely annihilated!
Sea surge!

The boundless, illusory sea swept across, carrying with it the extreme cold Daoist aura that freezes all things, instantly engulfing the Liu family scholars!

All the protective techniques and supernatural powers he used to disrupt the heavens shattered like bubbles in the face of this pure and overwhelming force!
The expression of terror froze on his face, and his nascent soul was frozen in ice, turning into a lifelike ice sculpture. His true spirit was extinguished, floating in the illusory image of the surging waves, drifting with the tide!

Yin and Yang are reversed!

The Yin and Yang energies intertwined like dragons, transforming into a chaotic torrent that swept towards the Zhenglu Sect cultivator!

He roared and unleashed a punch imbued with the burning power of the law, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea; all his power was easily crushed and assimilated by the Yin-Yang millstone!
As the torrent swept past, he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through countless icebergs and being sent flying three thousand miles away! His protective divine light had long since dissipated, and his physical body was completely obliterated in the raging gale, leaving only a shocking, bottomless, and enormous canyon fissure on the vast glacial land!

Within the cracks, the yin and yang energies lingered, giving rise to countless strange, dark blue flower buds in the frigid north. These buds bloomed and withered in an instant, repeating endlessly, forming a bizarre yet magnificent flower path that stretched all the way to the sky.

The Ice Soul Girl's glass-like eyes flickered uncertainly.

Bai Lingyu covered his lips, his eyes sparkling with wonder.

Lu Zhao and Ao Yu exchanged a glance, speechless with shock. They vaguely sensed something, yet found it hard to believe.

Even Cangbo's expression turned solemn, his eyes filled with shock! "So beautiful..." Jade Master Yu Shu murmured unconsciously, gazing at the flower-lined path in the icy canyon, then was startled by her own inappropriate thought, "No! My mind has been corrupted! This..."

The other cultivators who were watching from afar felt a chill to the bone and were terrified!
A star has fallen!

Finally, the endless starlight within the Dao Chapter converged, transforming into a beam of annihilating starlight that illuminated the heavens and earth, locking onto the Moonflower Palace Master who had already fled a thousand feet away!

"Have mercy!" The Moonflower Palace Master felt the moonlight around him disintegrate inch by inch, and even the "Guanghan Scenery" that he relied on to achieve his Dao was rapidly melting under the starlight, as if he had encountered an absolute nemesis!
He was terrified, all traces of his Nascent Soul stage majesty gone, leaving only primal fear.

"Who are you?! You are no ordinary cultivator! No! I cannot perish here! Moonlight Transformation!"

Bang!
A bright moon suddenly rose from the body of the Moonflower Palace Master, and his aura plummeted. But the bright moon exploded and transformed into a path of light that stretched all the way toward his mountain gate!

"Guide me!"

Whoosh!
The next moment, his figure vanished, completely transforming into a beam of light, merging into the path of light, and disappearing in an instant!

Upon seeing this, Chen Qing simply raised his hand and made a grasping motion.

Lord Yuehua let out a muffled groan, feeling his own luck plummeting rapidly!
The howling wind suddenly shifted, no longer chaotic, but twisted into countless icy chains, binding and tearing at the path of moonlight!

The millennia-old ice on the ground cracked, and thick ice spikes suddenly protruded like earth spikes, blocking the way layer by layer!

Deeper still, the silent ley lines of the Northern Cold Continent trembled slightly, and a heavy, mountain-like binding force emanated, causing the fleeing moonlight to suddenly slow down and become distorted!
It was as if the entire world loathed the fleeing moonlight, responding to Chen Qing's casual grab, spontaneously blocking, imprisoning, and obliterating its will!
All things in heaven and earth are for my use!
Meanwhile, dozens of miles away, atop an ice peak.

“This aura…something’s not right!” Yang Yunling stood with her hands behind her back, her black robes fluttering in the wind. She looked towards the direction of Zhenyuan Xuan Palace at the towering dust and ice storm and the suddenly condensed power of heaven and earth. Her brows furrowed and unease rose in her heart.

That could not be explained by a combined attack of Nascent Soul cultivators; it was more like... divine wrath?
She flipped her hand and took out a jade token engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns.

The moment the token appeared, it exuded an awe-inspiring power that ruled over all directions and regulated the heavens and earth, causing the surrounding wind and snow to recede.

"Fine, then I won't let those Nascent Soul cultivators wear down Ji Ming any longer. I'll use this order to force them to retreat, allowing me to settle things with Ji Ming. By now, he should be worn down enough..."

She clutched the token, trying to suppress her unease.

Just at this moment...

The moonlight, which had been blocked and distorted by the power of heaven and earth, suddenly rushed headlong towards the ice peak where she was!

Behind it, a tremendous force surged forth!
"What……?!"

Yang Yunling's pupils shrank sharply, and before she could react, the fleeing moonlight and the terrifying force that followed it crashed into her!

"puff!"

The protective void of the vast ocean shattered instantly!
She felt an immense force crush her entire body, her meridians shattered, her golden core cried out in anguish, and then it shattered. Half of her body was instantly a bloody mess, and her Dao foundation and physical body were completely destroyed!

"Ugh!"

Amidst screams, Yang Yunling plummeted from the summit of the icy peak like a bird with broken wings, crashing into an icy river beside the path of light, splashing up icy shards as she was swallowed by the icy current.

The remaining will of the Moonflower Palace Master was completely destroyed under the crushing force of heaven and earth. The strange phenomenon of the fall of his Nascent Soul stage had just appeared and was about to pollute the area when Chen Qing casually waved his hand, and the imperial aura swept over it, instantly smoothing it out.

Feeling the immense power rapidly draining from his body, Chen Qing's gaze followed the path of moonlight that was being erased by the power of heaven and earth.

"The Moonflower Manor has repeatedly colluded with demons and plotted to make things difficult for me. Now that the path has been pointed out, it is time to settle the karmic debt."

With this thought in mind, the hand seals on his hands changed!
The projection of himself, which carried the divine aura of the Emperor and had begun to fade, expanded once more, enveloping Chen Qing's true form.

With each step taken, the world seemed to fold up!

"Boom!"

The divine light of heaven and earth fell like snowflakes, and the wind and snow respectfully parted the curtain, revealing the strange flower path on the ground, nourished by the yin and yang energies, that spread and grew wildly forward.

Wherever Chen Qing went, the Daoist aura permeated the air, and wondrous sounds from the void appeared and disappeared.

Along the way, ice and snow spirits, snow rabbits, and even ice stones and snow pines—anything that touched even a trace of his aura—all awakened their intelligence, swaying their bodies as they bowed, made obeisances, or prostrated themselves in worship in the direction Chen Qing had left!

When the Emperor tours the world, all spirits follow!
　I arrived earlier than scheduled, and I'm completely drained... Time to sleep... My life is more important...
