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

The Zhou family patriarch took action, summoning a cyan jade bottle. A powerful suction force erupted, and drops of golden dragon marrow shone with divine brilliance, flowing with extraordinary colors before finally disappearing into the bottle's opening.

Suddenly, a creature resembling a squirrel appeared, wafting a sweet fragrance that almost intoxicated one to the bone.

"A being that grew from the Dream Divine Marrow Mother Plant, this Dragon Marrow is comparable to the King of Medicines." The Zhou family patriarch was somewhat excited.

Although he had already obtained many extraordinary medicinal kings in the Immortal Transformation Pool, and the Zhou family's treasure trove also contained many medicinal kings, which he had not used easily, the newly acquired Dragon Marrow, which was comparable to a medicinal king, still excited him greatly.

No one would complain about having too little of this. Countless cultivators risk their lives just to obtain one of these plants, including supreme figures such as Holy Lords and Emperors. The more of this divine treasure, the better.

As the Zhou family patriarch continued to collect the dragon marrow from the Dragon Pool, one creature after another was sucked into the small blue bottle. Some resembled ponies, some resembled swallows, there were golden puppies, pink mice, and purple snakes, each with its own unique appearance.

There is only one true Dream Essence. These dozen or so creatures are companion dragon essences born near the Dream Essence, somewhat similar to the relationship between the divine jade spirits outside and this holy spirit.

After the Zhou family patriarch had taken all the dozen or so companion dragon marrows, the entire pool of top-grade dragon marrow in the Dragon Pool was almost empty. A small humanoid figure appeared in front of them.

This tiny human figure resembles an immortal, seemingly about to ascend to heaven amidst the rosy clouds, exuding an aura of immortality and displaying a myriad of wondrous sights—truly awe-inspiring.

A fragrant aroma wafts over, refreshing and invigorating, far surpassing even the King of Herbs, leaving one intoxicated.

It was already comparable to an elixir of immortality, and had long been imbued with spiritual power, capable of flying and escaping into the earth. Now it was about to fly away.

These kinds of celestial treasures all have their own consciousness, perhaps they are not very clear about it, but they are no longer inanimate objects. In particular, their ability to escape is such that even the Great Sage cannot stop them.

For example, in the ancient times, after the Martial Saint Emperor passed away, the world changed drastically. When the immortal medicine of Divine Silkworm Ridge flew away, that Great Saint used countless methods, but none of them could affect the immortal medicine.

If a low-level cultivator could almost capture an elixir of immortality, then it's definitely an act.

The Zhou family patriarch activated the Lesser Quasi-Emperor Furnace to suppress it, but the Dreamlike Divine Essence was still breaking through it little by little, causing the Zhou family patriarch to frown. If this continued, he might really not be able to grasp the Dreamlike Divine Essence.

At this moment, the Holy Spirit suddenly intervened, not to attack them, but to help them suppress the Dream Essence.

At the same time, this Holy Spirit seemed to have spoken to the Dream Essence, which eventually made the Dream Essence give up its resistance. However, instead of entering the cyan bottle, it leaped into Zhou Qing's body and took root in the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Chapter 290 Princess Moon Spirit

In the end, they still managed to obtain the Dream Essence. Zhou Qing and the Zhou family patriarch were about to leave, while the Cai family ancestor would remain here for the time being.

"Although I have been here for seventy thousand years, I have been living in a daze and have never really taken a good look at this great dragon. This time, I need to set up a heaven-reaching Origin Heaven Array, which cannot be completed in a short time. I will have to stay here for a while." The Cai family ancestor said, looking at Zhou Qing's back.

Zhou Qing turned around in front of the Dragon Pool and looked at the Cai family ancestor. He was not surprised; this was within his expectations.

"It is indeed time for the Ancestor to use this great dragon to set up a Source Heaven Array, which I understand. I will come again after I return these treasures to the family to observe the Ancestor's Source Technique. Please ask the Ancestor to take action only after I return."

The Cai family patriarch smiled and said, "Of course. Although the Origin Technique lineage has its unique features, it does not grant immortality. Therefore, it is not considered orthodox by outsiders, and there are very few practitioners. As a result, it is extremely difficult to find an Origin Technique genius. With a talent like yours, I will naturally impart all my knowledge to you."

Zhou Qing nodded in agreement. There were indeed very few people in this world who cultivated Origin Arts. In the entire Eastern Wilderness, there were only a few Origin Arts families, none of which were very prosperous and had very few members. In the Central Continent, there were only a few Dragon-Seeking families, and there were none in other major regions.

Why is it that despite the Source Technique lineage being so powerful and lacking the Eight Forbidden Restrictions, few people outside the sect practice it? The biggest drawback is that the Source Technique lineage cannot achieve immortality.

Even a Source Master who only cultivates Source Arts will not have a long lifespan. Living past two hundred years old would be considered defying the heavens. Therefore, all Source Arts practitioners must also cultivate Secret Realm Techniques to increase their lifespan.

The biggest problem with the Origin Technique lineage, and the reason why Zhou Qing always refers to this path as Origin Technique rather than Origin Technique Evolution Path or Field Evolution Path, is that the advancement of this lineage's realm does not cause a leap in a being's life level.

The reason why countless paths of evolution can be called paths of evolution is that these paths can enable living beings to achieve a leap in their level of life; this is the essence of evolution.

However, the current Origin Arts do not possess this ability.

"Now that I have the patriarch, I am no longer alone on the path of Origin Arts. In the future, I will work with the patriarch to open up the path of Origin Arts until this path can stand shoulder to shoulder with the orthodox methods of the world. At that time, we will all be the founders or even the pioneers of this path," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

To truly pave the way for the evolution of Origin Arts is Zhou Qing's expectation and his long-held goal.

Although this path has its problems and is so immature that almost no one in the world practices it.

But Zhou Qing knew very well that this was indeed a path full of potential, because a genius in later generations had actually used this path to reach the end of the road.

If he can extend this path to the point where he can achieve a leap in life, without needing to practice orthodox methods, he can continuously break through the shackles of the body and move towards immortality.

Even if he is limited by his talent and cannot reach higher realms, he can still become a figure similar to the Five Elders of the Pollen Path or the Secret Realm Master on this evolutionary path.

Founders like Meng Tianzheng.

Even if the Secret Realm Method truly blazes another trail, it can only be a trailblazer. The founders and pioneers of the Secret Realm Method have already been determined.

"Ancestor, let's go." Zhou Qing walked step by step towards the outside of the Ancient Dragon's Lair, with the Zhou family ancestor following closely behind, while the Cai family ancestor watched their figures gradually disappear into the distance.

"What do you need me to do, Third Generation Source Master?" the Holy Spirit asked.

This was, after all, a grand formation of the Origin Heaven was set up for his sake, and since it involved his own interests, this Holy Spirit did not want any accidents to happen.

"No need," the Cai family ancestor replied. "I'll just walk around along this great dragon vein by myself and observe its general trend."

"Seventy thousand years ago, when you first came to the Ancient Dragon's Lair, I noticed the ominous presence on you. However, the master behind that thing was too terrifying, and I dared not touch him. I never expected that seventy thousand years later, you would actually wake up one day. Truly, life is unpredictable." The Holy Spirit sighed with emotion.

If the Azure Emperor in the Immortal Transformation Pool was his neighbor, then the Cai family ancestor and he truly lived under the same roof.

Originally, all the dragon energy of the ancient dragon's lair converged on him, but over the past 70,000 years, a considerable portion of it was taken away by the Cai family ancestors, condensing into a mortal immortal pill.

Otherwise, when the Azure Emperor successfully transformed and emerged from the Immortal Transformation Pool 30,000 years ago, he should have been born at the Great Perfection stage.

This is also why this Holy Spirit is not afraid of the Azure Emperor at all. The two of them are in the Immortal Transformation Pool and the Ancient Dragon's Lair, respectively, and are in two different Yin-Yang eyes in the Yin-Yang Divine Land. If it weren't for the Cai family ancestor intercepting part of his dragon energy 70,000 years ago, his time to attain enlightenment would not have been much later than the Azure Emperor's.

Therefore, he hated the Azure Emperor putting on airs in front of him, but he didn't dare to make a move against the Cai family ancestor. The Cai family ancestor's strength was nothing special, but the origin of the red hair on his body and the ominous master behind it made him feel extremely afraid.

"I believe you have also sensed something extraordinary from Zhou Qing. Whether you choose to befriend or antagonize him in the future is a decision you should make yourself," said the Cai family ancestor.

"Of course." The Holy Spirit sighed somewhat. At this moment, he no longer had the airs of an emperor. When he talked with the Cai family ancestor, he did not use his imperial power to suppress the Cai family ancestor.

In the ancient dragon's lair, Zhou Qing passed the group of divine jade spirits. The humanoid divine jade spirit, which was wrapped in one hundred and eight divine rings and was more than a foot tall, was still kneeling on the ground, its body trembling constantly. It did not dare to look up once from beginning to end.

Zhou Qing glanced down at him, said nothing, and gradually walked away with the Zhou family patriarch, leaving the ancient dragon's lair.

Standing in front of the Dragon Cave, looking at another giant mountain next to it, where there was a wide expanse of water at the summit, shimmering with light and bursting with rosy glow, Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh as he thought about what he had gained from his journey to the Immortal Ascension Path and his arrival here.

"Although I knew before I came that the harvest would be good, it was just a matter of how much more abundant it would be, I was still surprised in the end."

The Zhou family patriarch looked at the entire Immortal Pill in his hand and said with a smile, "Yes, once I swallow this pill, the Quasi-Emperor Law within my body should complete its transformation."

"At that time, my Zhou family will truly be free from worries, and the emergence of the myriad ancient races will no longer have any impact on my Zhou family."

"call out"

The Zhou family patriarch transformed into a beam of immortal light and flew outside the Immortal Transformation Pool, fully activating the Goddess Furnace refined by Emperor Hengyu. Zhou Qing was also under protection, and the two quickly broke through the ten-mile chasm.

Not long after, the two left the area and returned to the stone forest. The marks of Shakyamuni and Lao Tzu were clearly engraved on a nearby boulder.

A golden ancient chariot appeared, and Zhou Qing and his companion landed on it. With a loud boom, a golden cave opened in the void, and the ancient chariot carried them directly into it, moving across the vast domain.

At the Zhou family's residence, beneath the Fusang Divine Tree, several people who were meditating in seclusion suddenly opened their eyes, and a golden ancient war chariot burst forth from the void.

One by one, divine treasures began to be transferred from the Dao Body to the True Body. Naturally, the Dreamlike Divine Essence also had to fly out of Zhou Qing's Dao Body's sea of ​​suffering.

Although the Dao body that transforms into the Three Pure Ones can be considered equivalent to the true body, in the end, the Dao body is just the Dao body and cannot truly replace the status of the original body.

Just as the Dream Essence was about to fly into Zhou Qing's true form's Sea of ​​Bitterness, Zhou Qing made a gesture to stop it, shook his head, and said, "There's no need for that. You only need to transform this small patch of world around us, just like the Fusang Divine Tree, to enhance our cultivation. In this way, everyone can benefit."

At the same time, the golden leaves of the Fusang Divine Tree swayed gently, like stars falling from the sky, and a thought was sent out, exchanging some ideas with the Dream Essence.

The little fairy formed from the essence of dreams looked thoughtful, and after a moment, it changed its mind and no longer asked to enter Zhou Qing's sea of ​​suffering.

The tiny figure danced gracefully around the Fusang Divine Tree, showering down celestial radiance and countless Dao principles, as if it were an immortal about to ascend to heaven. Finally, it landed on a branch of the Fusang Divine Tree.

It's like a guardian spirit of the Fusang Divine Tree, flying back and forth among its branches from time to time, scattering celestial radiance imbued with Dao principles, and transforming the cultivation environment of this area.

Both the Kunpeng Ancestor and the Human Demon showed unusual expressions, sensing the change in the environment.

Originally, they already had an immortal herb here, and cultivating alongside it was already an immense blessing. Now, they have also acquired a Dream Essence, which is no less valuable than the immortal herb.

The combination of these two factors makes the cultivation environment here even more extraordinary. The rewards of cultivating in such an environment are unimaginable.

"I refuse to believe it! I've been cultivating alongside the Immortal Elixir, and I still can't break through to Quasi-Emperor in my lifetime!" Ancestor Kunpeng's eyes gleamed.

As the two Dao bodies dissipated, all the memories in the Immortal Transformation Pool returned to the original body. Zhou Qing's expression was strange and intriguing.

"I wonder what the losses to Tongtian Mingbao are this time. It seems I should find some time to verify it."

How to verify it? It's very simple. Go back to Purple Mountain and find the fifth generation Source Master, Zhang Lin, the ancestor of the Zhang family. By following the connection between him and the curse on the Tongtian Mingbao, you can get a general idea of ​​the state of the Tongtian Mingbao.

After retrieving his memories from the Daoist, Zhou Qing learned about the situation in the Immortal Transformation Pool. He exchanged a glance with the Zhou family patriarch, and the two then...

He separated into another body and traveled back to Zhongzhou.

Although the Dao Body of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones has a cooldown period, at this moment, both of them only consumed one Dao Body, and the other Dao Body was not within the cooldown period, so it was easily transformed.

In the Qinling Mountains of Central China, they drove over the mountains, and below them were lakes of all sizes, many of which had ancient steles inscribed with the name of a "Transformation Pool".

Suddenly, Zhou Qing noticed a group of unusual people below.

The leader was a woman of unparalleled beauty, whose presence made even the sun and moon pale in comparison, as if she had descended from the heavens.

Behind him were more than a dozen guards, all clad in iron armor, and several men in golden dragon robes, all of whom were very powerful. These men in dragon robes were all highly skilled, and there were also some old men with white hair and beards. Although their cultivation was not high, they were subtly protected in the center.

"The people of the Nine Li Divine Dynasty, is that Yue Ling, who is known as the second most beautiful woman in the Central Plains? I wonder what they're up to." Zhou Qing looked thoughtful.

Suddenly, he realized that this group of people were heading in the same direction as him, as if they were heading straight for the Immortal Transformation Pool.

"By the way, I seem to have heard something recently. Princess Yue Ling of Zhongzhou visited a geomancer and discovered a super ancestral vein. It is said that three powerful figures died in that underground area, and countless other experts were also killed or injured."

"Could it be that they also discovered that stone forest? Or did they find another entrance to the Qinling Great Dragon?" Zhou Qing speculated.

However, because they were moving so fast, the group below disappeared in the blink of an eye, and he stopped thinking about it.

In the ancient dragon's lair, Zhou Qing returned to this place. The Cai family ancestor was no longer there; he had gone to other places to investigate the overall situation.

The Qinling Great Dragon is truly enormous, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, and is incredibly majestic. It will take the Cai family ancestors some time to traverse it and find the most suitable nodes for setting up the Origin Heaven Grand Array.

During this time, Zhou Qing's Dao body did not wander around. Instead, he sat at the end of the Ancient Dragon's Lair, studying the mysteries of dragon energy and verifying them with the contents of the Taihuang Scripture, comprehending the Great Dao within the Taihuang Scripture.

Three days later, the holy spirit dressed in ancient imperial robes suddenly spoke, saying, "Someone else is coming."

Zhou Qing's Dao body opened its eyes. The Holy Spirit pressed down in the void, and ripples flowed, as if a mirror had appeared, reflecting the outside scene.

The Jiuli Divine Dynasty group had already arrived at the Stone Forest and were almost at the location where the marks of Shakyamuni and Lao Tzu were left.

Zhou Qing frowned. There had been a foggy area blocking his way before, but he had used his power to break through it, carving out a Source Heaven Grand Array that shattered the fog in that area.

Fortunately, the Origin Heaven Array remained under his control. He changed the hand seals, and strange fluctuations were transmitted.

"boom"

The Origin Heaven Array in that area instantly disappeared, ceasing its miraculous effects. A mist rose, containing extremely terrifying corrosiveness, which even a saint would find difficult to overcome.

At the same time, Princess Yueling and her entourage also happened to arrive here.

“My royal uncles, this is the wondrous place I discovered. I speculate that it may very well be the location of the Qinling Great Dragon,” said the stunningly beautiful woman.

"Gentlemen, you are all top-tier dragon seekers from families of dragon seekers. Do you think this area is passable?" Yue Ling said to the elderly people surrounded in the center.
