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

"Master, look who that person is! He looks terrifying." A disciple from a sect saw the middle-aged man and asked his master, who was focused on sweeping the battlefield and searching for treasures.

"Who is it? Can't you see I'm busy?" The old man impatiently stopped his work and looked up at the sky.

pat!

The magical artifact in his hand fell to the ground, his mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg whole, and his whole body stiffened.

"Master, what's wrong? Do you know this person?" The disciple asked, confused.

"Run! Run!" The old man was sweating profusely and trembling all over. After a period of intense inner terror, he finally shouted out.

Unfortunately, it was no use. The Golden Crow King's heart was ice-cold. Looking at the scene before him, his emotions underwent an unknown transformation. The aura emanating from his body was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

His body shuddered, and countless blood flowers burst forth on the ground. Everyone on the ground exploded without any resistance, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"Return to the source!"

"King Golden Crow said coldly, moving his hands to unleash an astonishing divine power. This is an ability that everyone possesses after entering the third realm of immortality, and it is a manifestation of the third-level Dao Fruit of immortality."

This is an incredibly powerful divine technique that consumes a great deal of energy and spirit, because such an act of "observing the past" is intolerable to heaven and earth.

In other words, just like trying to glimpse the future, one will encounter the automatic reactions of the laws of nature, and one needs to fight against the rules in order to continue.

boom!

He succeeded. After all, it was a great master who was performing this divine art. Although the sensation was only momentary and somewhat blurry, it still allowed him to see many things.

“The Sun God Cult, and that young man.” The Golden Crow King remained expressionless, yet emanated a chilling aura.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, as if he had seen something incredibly astonishing.

"An ultimate weapon? The divine sense of a living Great Sage?" King Jinwu felt a chill. How could he possibly fight against such an enemy? He was practically invincible in the Ziwei Starfield.

"No, I can't stay in the Ziwei Starfield any longer. I need to find a way to leave. Luckily, I accidentally discovered a five-colored altar when I was young. Perhaps with this, I can return to the Fire Mulberry Ancestral Star. At that time, the Ancestral Star will definitely avenge our Ziwei lineage!"

Having made up his mind, the Golden Crow King no longer hesitated and immediately decided to leave the Ziwei Star Domain. He opened a domain gate and disappeared without a trace.

Chapter 182 Evolution of the Secret Realm

As time passed, fewer and fewer cultivators searched for immortal treasures in the East China Sea. Only a small number of cultivators remained undeterred, believing that the more difficult an immortal treasure was to find, the more precious it must be.

Meanwhile, in Tang Valley, everyone had long since awakened from their enlightenment state. It was impossible to continuously pursue enlightenment; such a state was very difficult to enter. They had only fallen into that enlightenment state because they were suddenly stimulated by the Daoist aura emanating from Zhou Qing, coupled with the great changes in the world.

The people in Tang Valley have been awake for some time now. Although it is difficult for them to enter the intense state of enlightenment they had before, even normal cultivation is much better than before.

The small world where Tanggu is located has been severely stimulated, causing the world here to change drastically ahead of schedule. The laws of the Dao are becoming clearer and the essence is becoming more abundant. This place is gradually recovering and will soon return to the rules of the peak period of cultivation.

Originally, it would have taken several years for the entire universe to undergo a major change, but Zhou Qing's actions were too significant. Thousands of avatars were scattered throughout Tang Valley, evolving different Daos. His true self was also undergoing a complete transformation in the center of Tang Valley, flowing out Dao rhymes that covered the entire valley. This caused this small area of ​​the world to change ahead of schedule.

"How exactly did he cultivate? Why is he so strong? He gives me a feeling as if the Dao itself is here." Yi Qingwu looked at the center of Tang Valley, her expression full of shock, and her determination to attain the Dao wavered.

The center of Tang Valley is where the Fusang Divine Tree once stood, but now a chaotic sea is surging there, with only a hazy golden halo indicating that the Fusang Divine Tree is still there.

Some people tried to use their Heavenly Eye to see through the chaos, but after passing through the outer sea of ​​chaos, they saw a vast and boundless star field. No matter how bright the divine light of the Heavenly Eye was, it could not pass through this star field, as if there really was an infinite distance within it.

There emanated a primordial energy that swept across the entire world, like a divine sea rising and falling. All living beings, like ants, were submerged and could only struggle in agony.

It was an incredibly suffocating feeling. When they first woke up from the Enlightenment Realm, everyone was trembling under the pressure and couldn't move at all. It was only when the Sun Emperor Tower dropped down countless strands of immortal light that the people of Tang Valley were able to move normally.

This also gave Yi Qingwu an indescribable feeling, a sense of despair. If she couldn't even withstand the aura of others, how could she talk about proving the Dao? Moreover, this wasn't some veteran powerhouse; he was clearly about the same age as her.

But in her despair, she felt as if she saw an imperial star rising, a myth being written that would shine brightly in the history of cultivation.

She seemed to see the emergence of glorious divine battles in the future, and after the end of the prosperous era, only one person could stand high above and look down on eternity.

What kind of feeling made her hopeful, eager to see, and even want to follow behind, to witness this myth with her own eyes?

Dao Qingling and the others had already left the Fusang Divine Tree. At this time, Dao Qingling was still persisting in her cultivation. Now this world was very suitable for cultivation, so she naturally had to seize every minute and second, otherwise the gap would only widen.

Xiaoyu, however, didn't feel anxious at all; she was quite relaxed as she headed towards...

Yi Qingwu shouted, "Stop looking! You still can't surpass him. Do you think his cultivation speed is already very fast? Once you understand more, you'll realize that if you fall behind even a little, it's completely impossible to catch up with him by relying on your stamina, because his cultivation will only get faster and faster."

After saying that, Xiaoyu's expression became dazed for a moment. She recalled the scene of their first meeting in Wangyu Tower six years ago.

At that time, he was only at the sixth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and the gap between him and Princess Qingling was very small. However, the gap widened later. Even with the resources of the entire dynasty pouring into Princess Qingling, it was useless. Her speed of enlightenment was too far behind, and she simply couldn't catch up.

It's obvious that cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses, but this isn't the case with him at all. By now, he's about to surpass Princess Qingling by a whole realm in cultivation.

"If the geniuses of Beidou knew that Zhou Qing was severing his Dao, there would probably be a chorus of lamentations," Xiaoyu thought to herself.

Beneath the Fusang Divine Tree, Zhou Qing spread his limbs, containing immense divine power, directly breaking through the chaos and stabilizing this universe.

Although he was no longer under divine protection, his enlightenment was not yet over.

His arms and legs were like four divine pillars piercing through the heavens and earth, suppressing the four corners of the world and possessing supreme power.

The four celestial symbols appeared: the Azure Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise guarded the four divine pillars.

As the stars swirled and large stars circled around his body, Zhou Qing appeared like a god or demon in the heavens and earth, his eyes shining like divine lamps, and the sounds of the Great Dao constantly emanating from him.

boom!

When earth, fire, wind, and water appear, they correspond to the four poles of the human body. When they merge, they overflow with chaotic energy, which has a kind of creation energy.

Zhou Qing seemed to have become the sole Dao, from which Yin and Yang arose, the Five Elements changed, and the Four Symbols emerged, giving rise to this vast universe.

The Dao wave surged and spread in all directions, engulfing the entire universe. At a glance, in the heavens and on earth, in the six directions and eight wastelands, only this one source of Dao was manifesting.

His body was surrounded by dense Dao patterns that vibrated, so complex that even a powerful being would feel dizzy at a glance. Dozens of divine chains of order shot out, each a different color, as if they were forged from different kinds of immortal metal. Even a Great Completion King would be solemn upon seeing these divine chains of order, as each chain of order represented a Dao that had at least reached the late stage of the Dao Severing Realm.

Suddenly, the Taiji Immortal Diagram spreading from Zhou Qinglun Sea changed. Yin and Yang no longer evolved solely in the form of Yin-Yang fish, but instead presented a variety of strange phenomena and multiple different interpretations.

Heaven and earth, sun and moon, thunder and lightning, wind and rain, the four seasons, male and female, hard and soft, movement and stillness, manifestation and concealment—all things are divided into yin and yang.

Zhou Qing's aura surged once again, his Dao evolution reached a new level, undergoing sublimation and tempering, making the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm even more powerful.

The human body is one of the Dao, the chakras are Yin and Yang, and the four poles are the four phenomena formed by the transformation of Yin and Yang. At this time, the abnormal phenomena of Yin and Yang sublimate, which leads to the sublimation of the abnormal phenomena of the four poles of the human body.

Sun, Moon, Lesser Yin, Lesser Yang—Zhou Qing held the blazing sun in one hand and the bright moon in the other, standing tall and firm, creating the universe, possessing seemingly inexhaustible power.

The cycle of the four seasons brings not only four kinds of power—warmth, intensity, desolation, and annihilation—but also an aura of reincarnation.

There is the power of time permeating everything.

In the end, his body seemed to become transparent, with his bones, flesh, and internal organs all glowing.

Each drop of blood seemed to transform into a deity, majestic and ancient, whose body seemed to contain countless profound truths of heaven and earth.

Each bone seemed to transform into a golden plane of light, vast and boundless, as if countless beings were chanting and praising a great being. It was a magnificent celestial song, containing infinite truth and creation, which would never cease and would exist eternally.

Each meridian is like a bridge, connecting countless planes and opening up the worlds that were previously isolated from each other.

The cosmic galaxy outside the body is an anomaly, representing Zhou Qing's understanding of the secret realm method, while the myriad worlds inside the body are a symbol, representing a more fundamental visual understanding.

At this level, to have such a profound understanding of the secret realm, he can be considered the greatest genius of all time, including all the geniuses of this realm. At most, there may be those who can rival Zhou Qing, but there will never be anyone who surpasses him.

This is an achievement that is hard for the world to imagine. Even the emperors on the ancient star road can be called geniuses if they can have such understanding of the secret realm at the Saint King level. But Zhou Qing achieved such an achievement when he cut through the Dao. How can this be called? We can only say that he is the best in history!

Zhou Qing has always attached great importance to the essential issues of the Secret Realm Technique, because he clearly remembers the creation process of the Secret Realm Technique and how each Secret Realm evolved. In addition, he is a genius and good at seeing through appearances to the essence, so it is not surprising that he has such a situation.

The Dao sound reverberated continuously in Tang Valley. Everyone knew that Zhou Qing was severing his Dao, but no one could have imagined that this Dao sound would last for an entire year.

In this flourishing cultivation environment, Dao Qingling survived several heavenly tribulations in a year. Even the people of the Sun God Cult were constantly breaking through. Some children even created their own seas of suffering during this period when their vital energy was abundant and their primordial energy was gushing out like a river.

Although Zhou Qing had not severed his Dao, his strength was already far beyond the Perfected Second Immortal Realm; he simply had not sought confirmation from Heaven and Earth.

At this level, one's foundation can be continuously accumulated. Although it cannot be manifested, after severing the Dao, one's true Dao fruit and strength will naturally be revealed.

Of course, that's what they say, but in Xiaoyu's eyes, who knows Zhou Qing well, it's still an unbelievable thing. The Dao sound has been ringing for a whole year, and Zhou Qing still hasn't broken through.

Moreover, judging by the time, they have been on Ziwei Star for a full two years. Zhou Qing, who had already reached the Great Perfection two years ago, still hasn't passed this level after two years, which Xiaoyu finds very strange. It's the first time she's seen someone stuck in a realm for so long.

The incarnation in Tang Valley had long since vanished. Nine months ago, it suddenly rushed into the foot of the Fusang Divine Tree, and then a beam of celestial light shot out, illuminating the entire Tang Valley and giving everyone a baptism of celestial light. It was a tremendous upheaval.

People knew that Zhou Qing must have gained a great deal and should be going to undergo tribulation soon. However, the chaotic sea under the Fusang Divine Tree remained unchanged, still surging, with only a hazy golden halo revealing a blurry human figure.

And from that day on, people felt a

A more vast and magnificent aura emanated from it. The concepts of primordial chaos, origin, mythology, and truth were insufficient to describe it. It was like the beginning of everything, yet also like the end of everything; it seemed to exist, yet also like it did not exist. Just feeling that aura made many people feel so uncomfortable that they wanted to vomit blood.

As a result, six months ago, that nauseating smell disappeared, and what followed was a different kind of feeling that was unforgettable.

Everyone in Tang Valley felt like they had become puppets. Even though they were certain that there was nothing wrong with them, they always said things that they shouldn't have said, as if they had become a different person. Sometimes they felt that their future was full of infinite possibilities, and sometimes they felt that their future was only inevitable.

Certainty and uncertainty, different feelings lingered in everyone's hearts. They seemed to be themselves, yet they also seemed not to be themselves. But if they were not themselves, then who were they? Who had become them? This was an unimaginable fear, and even the tower of the Emperor, suspended in the air, could not bring them a sense of security.

Fortunately, three months ago, this feeling finally disappeared, which made everyone in Tanggu breathe a sigh of relief. The indescribable fear finally disappeared, and nothing unusual happened afterward.

Everyone thought Zhou Qing's transformation was finally over, but there was still no movement from the Fusang Divine Tree, and no special aura or feeling was emitted. Everyone was puzzled. Was it not over yet? But they couldn't feel anything.

It couldn't be that something had already been leaked out, but they just couldn't see it under normal circumstances. This was just a baseless guess, and no one thought about it deeply. Although they were very puzzled, they didn't show it.

A year after the legend of the celestial treasure spread, fewer and fewer people remained in the East Sea. Apart from seeing the sun star differently, no one else could be seen. No one could find anything special in the East Sea, so how could there be any celestial treasure?

Across the four continents, the most talked-about topic over the past two years remains the destruction of the Golden Crow Clan. It is said that the old king of the Human King's Palace personally intervened, tracing back to the source, and uncovered the culprit behind the Golden Crow Clan's demise.

When the culprit was exposed, it caused a huge uproar on the entire ancient star. For countless years, an ultimate imperial weapon appeared on Ziwei Star once again, making all forces uneasy, especially those forces that had once oppressed the Sun God Sect, who were extremely terrified.

However, when these forces tried to apologize to the Sun God Cult, they found that the place was deserted. It seemed that the people of the Sun God Cult had moved away, leaving nothing behind, and no one knew where they had moved to.

Some sects do know that the Sun God Cult made a big move more than a year ago, leading its people to the East Sea. However, the East Sea is vast, and no one has been following the Sun God Cult. Therefore, no one knows where the Sun God Cult is now, which has become a mystery in the world.

There was a force on Ziwei Star that, although it had never interacted with the Sun God Cult, still felt uneasy. This force was the Taiyin God Cult.

Although they had no enmity with the Sun God Cult, they knew their own situation. As a major sect that had stolen the lineage of the Taiyin Human Emperor and wiped out the Taiyin Human Emperor's bloodline, their hands were stained with the blood of the Human Emperor's descendants.

As fellow descendants of the Human Emperor, how could the Sun God Cult not hate them? The two lineages of the Human Emperor have been on good terms for generations, so how could they not hate the current Taiyin God Cult?

With the possession of imperial weapons, the Sun God Cult has firmly established itself on par with forces such as the Human King's Palace and the Longevity Temple; all it lacks is the foundation of a sage.

The Sun God Cult can rally many major religions with a single call, because possessing an imperial weapon makes them invincible from the start.

However, the Taiyin God Sect had been worried for a long time, but the Taiyang God Sect did not make any move, which put their minds at ease.

In Tanggu, just as Xiaoyu was gazing at the Fusang Divine Tree in thought, the chaos suddenly dispersed, and a figure ascended into the sky. This startled her; she knew this time he was going to undergo a tribulation of lightning.

Chapter 183 The Trial of the Dao Child

Zhou Qing's body radiated brilliant light, nine divine rings enveloped him, and with each step he vanished into nothingness, his entire body was engulfed in blazing light, like an unparalleled god.

"Having comprehended the unparalleled Dharma in the world, I embark on the path of being invincible, transcending the scriptures of all emperors, and becoming free from any constraints."

Zhou Qing's eyes shone even brighter as he ascended from beneath the Fusang Divine Tree, step by step forging his own path to the heavens and heading towards the vast starry sky.
