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

"Then we went to the North Sea, secretly following the Golden Crow Clan. We eventually discovered a cave, from which we obtained this branch. Not only that, we even obtained a fragment of a map, pointing to the location of Tang Valley!"

Xiaoyu took out another corner of the sea map, which indeed pointed to Tanggu, but it was too incomplete to identify the location based on just a corner of the map.

"But the North Sea seems to be affected by something, and other caves are also emerging. We heard that others have also obtained the incomplete map. Zhou Qing, we must seize this great opportunity. This is the elixir of immortality!" Xiao Yu said excitedly.

The Elixir of Immortality is said to be possessed by every emperor, containing a tremendous secret. Even disregarding the secret itself, the Elixir of Immortality is a divine object that can grant a second life; who wouldn't want to obtain it?

"Okay, is Qingling still in Beihai?" Zhou Qing asked.

“Yes, more and more people are gathering in Beihai now. It is said that Guanghan Palace, Renwang Palace, Changsheng Taoist Temple, and Taiyin Sect are all on their way. Which of them does not have a sacred weapon? They must have brought them all this time. That’s why Miss asked me to come and find you,” Xiaoyu said.

Zhou Qing didn't hesitate and said directly, "Then let's go. Let's get there as soon as possible. Although Qingling also brought a sacred weapon, having only one isn't a big advantage. We..."

"Hurry and meet up with her."

A jade platform was summoned, the dimensional gate opened, and the two immediately traversed the void to depart.

"The Big Dipper Star Region has supreme imperial weapons, but if we remove the influence of weapons, its overall strength is inferior to that of the Ziwei Ancient Star. My lady and I have met many great sects these days, all of which are renowned and have many sect leaders. We came to this conclusion by comparing the two."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "There are indeed fewer sect leaders than Ziwei Guxing."

It's just that there aren't as many sect leaders as Ziwei Ancient Star. Once they rise above the level of saints, Beidou still crushes Ziwei. Not to mention anything else, just Gai Jiuyou alone is already invincible in heaven and earth, and there are few rivals in the entire starry sky.

Beihai is a vast expanse of black, with surging, dark waves, a magnificent and boundless landscape.

According to the records of the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain, the Fusang Divine Tree was born in Tang Valley of the East Sea, and disappeared at some unknown time.

Tang Valley should have been in the East Sea, but after a long period of time, it somehow ended up in the North Sea.

This made Zhou Qing very suspicious. Could it be that Penglai Island, which should normally be in the East Sea, had also moved to another place? Could it be that Yuyuan, which should normally be in the West Sea, had also moved to another place?

The vast ocean stretched to the heavens, its black waves crashing high above, scattering the clouds with a deafening roar.

After entering the North Sea, Zhou Qing and his companion reacted normally to the scene. Although such a vast ocean was terrifying, and some cultivators from Dao Palaces and Secret Realms might be killed by a black wave, it posed no pressure to the two of them.

Even Xiaoyu is not a maid who only serves tea and water. To become Dao Qingling's maid, one must have extremely high talent. Even the holy maidens of many holy lands in the Eastern Wilderness may not be qualified to be maids.

"Miss should be over here." Xiaoyu pointed in a direction. She and Dao Qingling had a special secret method that allowed them to contact each other as long as they weren't too far apart.

Zhou Qing smiled and nodded, then used the "Travel" technique to carry her away like lightning.

In fact, after arriving in Beihai, he quickly deduced the location of Dao Qingling in his mind. As long as it wasn't something of too high a level, his deduction was still very clear.

After stepping out of the dimensional gate, the sea before them suddenly turned golden, with celestial music playing and golden light soaring into the sky.

Above the ocean, dozens of golden crows roamed freely, besieging a woman shrouded in celestial radiance.

These dozens of Golden Crows were all experts, including two elders of the Golden Crow clan, but even so they could not defeat the woman, and the battle reached a stalemate.

"Transformation of All Spirits into the Dao." Zhou Qing unleashed a secret technique from the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture.

In an instant, waves thousands of meters high surged out of the North Sea, a vast expanse of blackness, before suddenly collapsing and transforming into countless Dao swords.

"cut!"

With a flick of Zhou Qing's finger, the dense array of Dao swords surged forward, piercing the sky and tearing through the void, exuding a fierce killing aura.

"Who's making a move!"

The elders of the Golden Crow Clan roared in anger, "How dare someone launch a sneak attack on our Golden Crow Clan? They're practically courting death!"

Suddenly, his golden eyes spotted Zhou Qing, and his eyes widened in horror as he cried out, "Oh no! We've encountered the Demon Lord! Run!"

He seemed to have encountered something terrifying, and he couldn't even care about the other members of the Golden Crow Clan. He unleashed his Golden Crow at top speed to escape.

Since Zhou Qing caused a one-sided massacre of those hundreds of Golden Crow Clan experts, this name has been used by outsiders.

"We'd rather fight the leaders of all sects than see the Demon Lord again!" This is a widely circulated saying within the Golden Crow Clan, which shows how much psychological trauma Zhou Qing inflicted on them.

If you encounter the leader of another major sect, they might be spared due to the exchange of interests between the sects. But if you encounter the Demon Lord, he doesn't care about your identity at all. He is a demon who can kill even the incarnation of the Golden Crow King without hesitation. If you encounter him, you will die.

"Ah, spare me!" a Golden Crow cried out, but it was no use; he was hacked to pieces.

"Don't beg for mercy, this devil won't let us go, fight to the death!" A golden crow, full of courage, charged towards Zhou Qing against the Dao sword, but before it could even get close, it was shattered.

Chapter 169 Battle of the North Sea

Ten thousand swords transformed into streaks of light and rushed forward, their divine radiance dazzling, stirring up a white wave of energy, their unparalleled sharpness piercing through everything.

Someone opened their mouth and spat out a bronze mirror, giving people a sense of the natural way of Tao. In an instant, it released boundless light, trying to block the Taoist sword.

But it was no use. With a crack, the bronze mirror shattered, and a Dao sword flew over, cleaving through the heavens and earth, cutting through the clouds, passing horizontally across the bronze mirror, and piercing through the head of the golden crow.

Boom!

A golden crow plunged into the sea, creating a huge wave that turned the black ocean red.

"Don't waste time resisting, let's scatter and run!" shouted an elder of the Golden Crow Clan, who had already flown over a hundred miles away.

Zhou Qing's eyes darted around, fixing on the Golden Crow Clan elder, which greatly alarmed him, causing him to increase his speed once again!

Rumble!

"What's going on? How come I haven't gotten away from the Demon Lord yet!" The Golden Crow Clan elder was somewhat flustered.

He looked back and found that he and Zhou Qing had not only not moved further apart, but had actually gotten closer.

Zhou Qing stretched out one hand, and his five fingers seemed to transform into a giant pillar supporting the sky, encompassing the entire world and grasping hundreds of miles of void in his hand.

His palm seemed to transform into a small world, with dozens of golden crows leaping within it. Some attacked him, while others tried to escape, but all were trapped within his palm.

The five fingers are like pillars reaching into the sky, their height unknown.

Zhou Qing slowly clenched his fist, and a crackling sound rang out. The space within hundreds of miles was shrinking, and the squeezing force of the space increased exponentially!

All attacks dissipated under such squeezing force, screams came from the fists until there was no sound at all.

"I was in the middle of a battle, trying to comprehend the Dao, but you came and killed them all. How am I supposed to comprehend the Dao now?" A woman shrouded in celestial radiance flew over and said irritably.

"Is that what happened? I saw you being surrounded by them, so I intervened. I didn't expect you to be using the battle to verify your own path."

Zhou Qing felt a little embarrassed. He hadn't carefully observed the battlefield; he had only glanced at it before making his move. No wonder she hadn't used a sacred weapon and was stuck with the group of golden crows.

"Let's collect what's here first." Dao Qingling bathed in immortal light, flashed and disappeared, flying to a cave below.

It was a cave that had just broken through the sea and risen from the ocean, shining with golden light, with a tree branch that looked like it was cast in gold stuck on the stone door.

Zhou Qing also flew down, punched open the stone door, and entered the cave.

There's not much here, just a few Saint Lord-level weapons and a fragment of a map.

Those Saint Lord-level weapons were treated like junk, neither Zhou Qing nor Dao Qingling cared about them, and they were all thrown to Xiao Yu. For Xiao Yu, the Saint Lord-level weapons that intertwined Dao and reason were still somewhat useful.

"We now have four fragments of the map."

Dao Qingling took out two fragments of the map, which she had obtained after the battle in the North Sea. Together with the one she had given to Xiaoyu and the one she had just acquired, she now had four fragments of the map.

"There are a total of thirty-six cave dwellings in the North Sea, and we have only obtained four of them so far. It seems that we will have to share the remaining map with other forces no matter what," Dao Qingling sighed.

thirty

The location of Tang Valley can only be determined by piecing together all six fragments of the map. Nowadays, there are too many powerful forces coming from the North Sea, making it difficult to have all thirty-six fragments in one's own hands.

"It's alright. Even if we enter Tang Valley together, with the Mountain and River Map in my hand and the Jade Bell in your hand, these two sacred weapons are enough to compete for many opportunities. At worst, I will also use the Nine Heavens White Jade Pearl. Then no one can compete with us," Zhou Qing said calmly.

Having dared to traverse the endless and distant starry sky to reach Ziwei, Dao Qingling naturally couldn't have arrived without a single sacred weapon. Moreover, Zhou Qing sensed that Dao Qingling must possess something even more terrifying; otherwise, why would the emperor of the dynasty and his uncles have agreed to her traversing the starry sky?

Just like he not only possesses the Mountain and River Map and the Nine Heavens White Jade Pearl, but also the things brought out from the Chaos Immortal Land within the small world of the Mountain and River Map, he has enough trump cards to turn the tide, but most of the time he doesn't have the opportunity to use them.

Over the next month, the Fusang Divine Tree in the North Sea seemed to be affected by something, and the thirty-six grotto-heavens pointing to Tang Valley emerged one after another, causing a series of earth-shattering battles, and many sect leaders perished.

More and more land forces are arriving, and the maritime forces of the North Sea are also arriving one after another. This is not only an elixir of immortality, but perhaps also some things left behind by the Sun Emperor.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a Holy Emperor's Palace on the Fusang Divine Tree, which may contain scriptures or notes left by the Holy Emperor, a treasure trove of divine treasures.

All the major forces in the Ziwei Star Region flocked to the North Sea, including the Taiyin Ancient Sect, Guanghan Palace, Human King Palace, Heavenly Demon Alliance, and Ziwei Divine Dynasty. These were all forces based on land.

The Xuan Turtle Master from the ocean, the Black Dragon Ancestor, and the Sea God Island—they all came.

On the pitch-black ocean, a new cave has just risen from the sea. Countless people are fighting on the surface of the sea, and corpses are falling into the ocean.

These were all at least Supreme Elders of the Sendai Secret Realm, yet they were being harvested at will like weeds. This can only mean that too many powerful forces have come to power.

No one knows exactly how many forces came; it could be several thousand or tens of thousands, each of which is a major sect with at least one powerful figure.

The current state of Beihai is such that even the most powerful immortals are no better than dogs, and powerful beings are everywhere. Only the peerless masters who have reached the Great Perfection of the second level of immortality have the right to look down on the battlefield; everyone else must be extremely cautious.

Rumble!

A massive black hand emerged from the void, blotting out the sky and enveloping a peerless young man beneath its grasp.

"You don't even dare to show your true form?" Zhou Qing sneered, soaring into the air, raising his hand to draw his sword, which shot straight into the sky.

A golden divine sword shot out from his hand like lightning, its tip becoming an extreme point, a thousand times more intense than the sun, turning the void it passed through into a black hole.

"puff"

A spray of blood appeared, and a figure appeared in the sky. After dropping an arm, the figure vanished without hesitation.

"That's Wu Daoque! He couldn't even defeat the Demon Lord and had to retreat like that!" someone exclaimed.

He recognized the man; he was the most terrifying rogue cultivator in Luzhou, who had once traversed eight thousand miles in a single night, wiping out the entire populations of two major sects.

.

This person's strength is even greater than that of the old Golden Crow Xuan Yi; he can be considered the number one rogue cultivator in the entire Luzhou.

"So what if he's the Demon Lord? He'll still be slain by my hand!" someone roared, and demonic energy surged forth, covering the entire world.

"This is the Celestial Fox Master. Wasn't he supposed to have passed away long ago? How come he's reappeared now?"

Another person was recognized. This was a nine-tailed celestial fox who was said to have passed away over a thousand years ago. He was an unparalleled old demon lord of the demon race, with unfathomable strength.

With a clear whistle, the Celestial Fox Master caused the entire sea to surge back up to the heavens, the waves crashing like an explosion, creating a vast expanse of water.

"So what if you've severed your Dao? Even if you're a beginner Dao Slayer, having seven restrictions doesn't necessarily make you invincible in the second level of the Immortal Realm."

Zhou Qing was like a true deity. Standing in the void, he resonated with the heavens, and auspicious colors rained down upon him. Pieces of divine light permeated his body, merging with the void.

As soon as Celestial Fox made his move, it produced a sound like mountains collapsing and seas tsunamis crashing, the heavens and earth rumbling, and the void continuously collapsing.

Nine snow-white fox tails burst forth from behind him, swaying gently, causing towering waves to rise across the entire ocean.

In an instant, the nine fox tails seemed to transform into nine mountain ranges, crushing the heavens and earth as they pressed down on Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing swung his fist as if he were holding the sun, causing the winds and clouds to tremble. The vast ocean below evaporated instantly, and the thousands of meters of sea turned into nothingness, burned clean.
