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

Behind him, a group of slightly older children were chasing after him. Although they were aggressive, they were breathing heavily and couldn't catch up with the child in front of them at all.

Suddenly, several slightly older children appeared in front of them, blocking their way. But to their surprise, the child was so agile that they couldn't catch him and could only watch helplessly as he ran away.

Upon arriving home, the five- or six-year-old child threw himself at someone and burst into tears, saying, "Mommy, they said I..."

Is it true that she didn't have a father?

A woman who looked very young hugged him, stroked his head, and said, "No, your father was a great hero who gave his life to protect us."

"I want to cultivate myself, I really want to cultivate myself, but I can't feel the wheel of life." Tears streamed down the boy's tender face, which he wiped away from time to time. He was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

The woman could only sigh softly. If she could return to her clan, with the resources of the Dao Clan, as long as her aptitude wasn't too poor, she could embark on the path of cultivation with the guidance of senior cultivators.

Unfortunately, due to a scheme by their enemies, they were lost here. She didn't even dare to let her child take the surname Dao, for fear of attracting that group of enemies.

She was just a minor cultivator in the Bitter Sea Realm, tens of millions of miles away from the Dao Clan. She couldn't possibly reach there in a short time, so she could only hide in this small village and wait for the nearby enemies to disperse before setting off again.

However, one day, several cultivators from the Divine Bridge came to this place. Fortunately, the woman noticed in advance and quickly fled with her child, avoiding being trapped.

It wasn't that easy. The enemy still tracked them down. After a series of painstaking arrangements, including counter-tracking, setting traps, and misleading the enemy, the woman managed to disperse the pursuers and even killed a few of them.

However, children's stamina is ultimately limited, and their speed is far from comparable to that of people at the Divine Bridge Realm. A wounded cultivator caught up and stopped the two.

After a fierce struggle, the woman, relying on her life-or-death fighting style, took advantage of the enemy's fear of death, pushed her combat wisdom to the limit, and delivered the final blow to the enemy with her indomitable willpower.

However, she was also seriously injured and lost too much blood, and it seemed she would not survive.

The child cried and screamed beside him, his heart filled with unbearable grief. He had a strong desire to break the heavens and seize control of the destiny of the world.

However, idealism without the support of cultivation can only be called delusion. The woman's life continued to slip away little by little, and her eyes gradually dimmed.

Suddenly, an unparalleled light descended from the sky, incredibly warm, as if it could soothe all the wounds in a person's heart, and then it instantly entered the little boy's forehead.

The appearance of this light gave the little boy immense hope, because the woman's life had stabilized and was no longer deteriorating, giving her a chance to survive.

The little boy carried the woman on his back and set off. His shoes were worn out and his feet were stained with blood, but he continued to climb mountains and cross valleys. He didn't know how far he had gone, but he met a kind old Taoist priest who used a rare and precious medicine to save the woman.

The old Taoist priest found it incredible. The injuries were enough to warrant a death sentence, yet the woman's vital signs remained so stable, leaving her with a glimmer of hope.

After the woman came back to life, she stayed temporarily. The old Taoist took the little boy as his disciple because he was nearing the end of his life. He had gone out that time to find a disciple to pass on his mantle.

The old Taoist's spiritual cultivation was not high, but he had reached a great level in his understanding of life, possessing a sense of having seen through the illusions of the world. Even as he approached the end of his life, he remained detached.

They live a very leisurely life.

But for some reason, the little boy would occasionally talk to himself when no one was around, as if he were talking to someone.

Both the old Taoist priest and the woman possessed spiritual cultivation, so they naturally knew that there was no one nearby. This made the woman extremely worried, wondering if her child had developed mental problems. The old Taoist priest could only sigh, feeling helpless about the child's fate.

However, to their surprise, the little boy had an unexpectedly high talent for cultivation. He had a profound understanding of cultivation, methods, and the Dao. Moreover, after going out for a while, he would return with an extra source in his hand, which was quite miraculous.

The two asked the little boy how he got the source, and the little boy said that he had gone around and found it in a cave nearby. The two were skeptical, but it was indeed possible.

However, every time the little boy went out after that, he would find something different, such as a source, a spiritual medicine, or sometimes even a magical artifact, which was incredible.

The two followed the little boy and eventually discovered that it was just as the little boy had said: when they walked into a cave or a forest, they would always encounter some resources for cultivation.

Several years later, the old Taoist died, but the little boy's cultivation level rose higher and higher. He entered the secret realm of the Taoist Palace, returned to his clan with the woman, and from then on, he soared to great heights.

Then, Zhou Qing saw the little boy rise rapidly in Ziwei, his body grew up quickly, he made some female friends and confidantes in Ziwei, and finally stepped onto the five-colored altar of the Ziwei star field, entered the starry sky, and began to write his own legend.

"That light is related to me?" Zhou Qing was deeply shocked.

The blood within his body surged, making a sound like a tsunami, as if in response.

It was an incredibly strong feeling, so strong that he couldn't doubt it at all; the feeling was too real.

"What does this mean? Did I not transmigrate here more than ten years ago?" Zhou Qing fell into deep thought.

"At that time, something existed in my mind in the form of a ray of light." The figure of the Zhou family ancestor suddenly reappeared, with the sun, moon, stars and rivers flowing around him.

"Because of its existence, my sense of Tao has been elevated to a terrifying level, and I can also do some things through it, such as going out for a walk and finding some opportunities."

“I have a vague feeling that it is somewhat similar to the source of the Dao, yet also different. I even feel that it is like a living being, giving birth to a will.”

“I came across an ancient stone tablet that said this light had appeared in ancient times.”

"As for how ancient it is, it may be the ancient times, or the mythological era, there is no accurate record."

"But after countless years of getting along, I have a vague feeling that when that light descends again, it may become a living being, and it will be among my descendants."

"It felt like a revelation from fate. It was strange, but I immediately believed it."

"If someone can enter this small world now, then the only person who can enter is that being."

"The causes and effects of the past have led to our meeting today. I have left two things here, which are the most proud insights of my life."

Wow

The entire universe collapsed in an instant, and the figures of the Zhou family ancestors disintegrated, forming golden ancient characters.

Each ancient character shone as brightly as the sun, radiating dazzling light, and floated in the void.

The ancient characters formed two different scriptures. As Zhou Qing looked at the two scriptures, he immediately felt their endless mysteries. They were indeed the most proud insights of his ancestors.

One of the articles is about cultivation in the five secret realms.

The other one is a method used by our ancestors to counter the supreme imperial weapons.

Chapter 168 Two Kinds of Inheritance

The previous article is more like a notebook, containing all the thoughts that the Zhou family ancestors had on the five secret realms during their cultivation over the years, including the true meaning of cultivation in each secret realm, the connection between secret realms, and the various problems encountered in the cultivation process.

In particular, while the Zhou family ancestors were pondering how to connect the five secret realms, they were also speculating on the possibility of a sixth secret realm, and whether the five secret realms could be reduced to four or even three.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but marvel. Although it seemed a bit far-fetched, the Zhou family ancestor was indeed seriously making deductions, and many of his ideas broadened Zhou Qing's horizons.

Given the strength of the Zhou family's ancestor back then, if it were a flawed Great Emperor, he might have been able to break through the suppression. However, he happened to encounter the Great Emperor Wushi, whose suppression of the Dao was so strong that it was too difficult to shake.

Even so, the Zhou family ancestors did not give up. They even took a risky approach, trying to evolve a sixth secret realm or merge the five secret realms into one, so as to forcibly prove their Dao.

And they actually deduced some things, though not many, but it proved that this was not just pure delusion, but had real substance.

No wonder the Great Emperor Wushi thought it was a real pity that his ancestors could not attain enlightenment. Zhou Qing now feels the same way.

The second article is a special kind of law. It first mentions that the Zhou family ancestor once studied the Great Accomplished Holy Body and the Great Accomplished Hegemonic Body, which were capable of fighting against the Great Emperor. Later, it mentions the results of his research.

He thoroughly studied the secrets within his bloodline, meticulously detailing all the divine powers and principles contained within. However, this knowledge could only serve as a reference, as only those two types of physiques could utilize their techniques.

So the Zhou family ancestor took a different approach. Although he couldn't use it immediately, he finally had a reference direction. He tried to deduce another method in order to raise the Dao fruit to another level on the basis of alternative Dao attainment!

And now this final result is right in front of Zhou Qing. Looking at those ancient characters that are shining with golden light, Zhou Qing is speechless.

He suspected that the Zhou family ancestors were not studying Taoist magic at all, but rather trying to create a universe!

The number of profound principles contained within that Dharma is simply countless and unimaginable. Moreover, several of these principles require a very high level of comprehension, which is impossible for anyone to achieve.

When ordinary people cultivate, they usually study one method and specialize in one path, such as Taiyin, Taiyang, Void, Reincarnation, etc. It is already very impressive to be able to reach a different kind of enlightenment in one path. However, this method requires that at least nine Great Paths must be mastered to that level.

Moreover, these minimum nine Great Daos must eventually merge and complement each other, rather than simply being one plus one. In particular, some of these Great Daos will conflict with each other when cultivated, and if one tries to cultivate them, it is easy to suffer Dao injuries.

In Zhou Qing's view, if this kind of method could be used, it would be truly heaven-defying. But in reality, Zhou Qing felt that this kind of method was more like an ancestor casually setting a lofty goal and then constantly striving towards that goal. Whether or not the goal could be achieved was not important; what was important was whether one's strength could increase during the cultivation process.

After reading the following text, Zhou

His ancestor said that he had not completed this method in the end; he had only mastered a very small part of it. This made Zhou Qing breathe a sigh of relief, as he felt that it was exactly as he had expected.

The Zhou family ancestor said that although his own sense of Dao had become particularly prominent after being baptized by that light, he could still only complete the outline of this method.

Even so, his strength has risen to another level. According to Emperor Wushi, he can fight against emperors with this method and not be at a disadvantage.

Although the possibility of defeat in the end is still greater as time goes by, this method still amazes the Great Emperor Wushi. In ancient times, who could fight the Great Emperor without relying on physical strength? In the known history of ancient times, there has never been a single person!

It was for this reason that the Great Emperor Wushi wished to seal the Zhou family ancestor into the future. As long as the period of his enlightenment was avoided, it would be almost inevitable for the Zhou family ancestor to attain enlightenment with his talent, even after the changes in heaven and earth.

Unfortunately, the Zhou family ancestor did not accept it, because at that time the Zhou family ancestor was far from the end of his life and was still trying to improve this method. Unfortunately, although there was progress, there was no breakthrough.

Finally, the Zhou family ancestor said that he had only received a small portion of that light as a gift, yet his sense of Dao had been elevated to an absurd level. If it were a being formed from that light, its sense of Dao would be a thousand times stronger than his, and it would certainly be able to truly perfect the method he had envisioned.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing closed his eyes, comprehended the Great Dao for a while, and then opened them again. He was certain that although his Dao perception was outrageous, it could never be as strong as his ancestors had said.

"Unless my cultivation level continues to improve," Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

As his cultivation level increases, his sense of the Dao also becomes stronger. For example, even when he is cultivating normally now, it is as if he is being amplified by the Enlightenment Tea every moment, which is a terrifying thing. That is why he has such a fast cultivation speed.

If he can achieve this speed in the Beidou region where cultivation is suppressed, then it's unimaginable how fast his cultivation speed would be if he went to the ancient star road, to those planets that have never been affected and have always been the peak of cultivation.

"Similar to the source of the Dao, but different from it?" Zhou Qing smiled as he thought of his ancestor's words.

It has to be said that coming here has indeed helped him in his Dao Cultivation. He was originally thinking that he might be overestimating himself and that he could actually lower the requirements for Dao Cultivation.

But now he has made up his mind that he must not lower his standards. Even if someone with mediocre talent is not outstanding in their Dao cultivation, they may still succeed.

However, for him, if he were to truly break through to a mediocre path, he felt that he might die at the hurdle of breaking through the path, which was the obstacle formed by his talent and aptitude.

Those extraordinary geniuses from ancient times, who were said to be comparable to the young emperors of all time, died in this way. The higher one's talent, the higher the requirements for breaking through the Dao. If the Dao one breaks through is too poor, it is easy to perish at this stage.

If it were truly so simple to just sever some memories, then severing one's path wouldn't be so difficult. The memories severed must be closely related to one's own path. On the surface, it's about severing memories, but in reality, it's about severing what one has firmly identified as one's path.

We will continue on our path, unaffected by anything!

Zhou Qing stayed in this small world, preparing to do his best to study the two scriptures left by his ancestors. Whether it was the insights into the five secret realms in the first part or the law in the second part, they would be of great use to his Dao-severing. The more he comprehended, the sooner the moment of Dao-severing would come.

And so, a month passed.

Zhou Qing was cultivating that day when he suddenly opened his eyes, opened the gate to the small world, and walked out.

On the abandoned ancestral land of the Zhou family, a girl in a white dress was talking to herself: "Why is no one here? Didn't Zhou Qing say he was coming to this ancestral land?"

Seeing Zhou Qing come out, the young woman was overjoyed and immediately came over, saying, "Come with me quickly! Miss and I have discovered a great opportunity that requires our joint efforts to seize!"

"What opportunity has made you so anxious?" Zhou Qing asked with a smile.

"An elixir of immortality, the Fusang Divine Tree! Don't you think that's an incredible opportunity?" Xiaoyu said excitedly.

She pulled out a branch, which looked like it was cast in gold, its color gleaming and shining.

Zhou Qing was startled. How could something like the Fusang Divine Tree appear now? Upon closer inspection, Zhou Qing discovered that it was indeed a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree.

He took the golden branch from Xiaoyu's hand and immediately felt the endless spiritual energy surging within it, and the terrifying power of the sun in motion.

The branch was scorching hot, but when Zhou Qing circulated the Yang Meridian technique in his mind, he immediately felt warm and comfortable all over, as if he had been nourished by the holy power of the sun.

"How did you get it?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

"We didn't know where to go first on the land of Shenzhou, so we went to the outskirts of the Golden Crow Clan and captured some high-ranking figures. From them, we learned that the Golden Crow Clan has now sent a lot of its troops to the North Sea, seemingly because they have found traces of the Fusang Divine Tree."
