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

Dao Qingling was sitting cross-legged in the void above the lake, near the trunk of the ancient tree, cultivating.

The cultivation environment here is truly extraordinary, with an incredibly vibrant life force. Staying here for an extended period will gradually increase one's life essence, and any hidden injuries can be healed, greatly benefiting one's cultivation.

"Indeed, when it comes to spiritual plants, your Divine Continent Dynasty is the most skilled, managing to cultivate these three immortal herbs in just a few years," Zhou Qing remarked.

In that lake, three young immortal herbs are growing.

A plant exuding a crystalline purple aura, breathing in and out the essence of life, drew in endless purple energy. Each breath was like a surging tide, giving Zhou Qing a baptism and making him feel completely refreshed.

It has nine leaves, each one translucent and radiant, resembling a purple unicorn. It is only a little over a foot tall, but its vital energy is constantly increasing, like a purple divine sea undulating.

This is the Qilin Divine Medicine. When it was first cut out of the stone, it was just a seed. The Zhou family used some methods, but it was still difficult for it to sprout. Finally, it was sent to the Divine Continent Dynasty and quickly grew.

Two years ago, it grew to a height of over a foot and then stopped growing. It takes at least several thousand years for an immortal herb to mature. After sprouting branches and leaves, the Qilin herb took shape and stopped growing wildly.

Even if this place provides the growth conditions most needed for the miraculous medicine, it is impossible for it to mature in just a few years.

Even if it can shorten the time by some years, it cannot be too exaggerated. According to their speculation, the most conservative estimate is that it will take several hundred years, provided that these conditions remain unchanged.

The other tree was shaped like a small tree, exactly sixteen feet tall, a delicate figure, but not surprising given its size.

This is the Bodhi Ancient Tree, which sprouted and grew from the Bodhi seed that Ye Fan obtained from the ancient star Yinghuo.

It cast down rays of great light, and a unique aura circulated around it, seemingly capable of enlightening people and increasing the probability of sudden enlightenment.

The ancient Bodhi tree today is still a sapling. Legend has it that it could grow to a towering height, but it is only in its early stages. However, even in its early stages, it is still a precious tree that has accompanied this...

The benefits of practicing meditation under an ancient tree are unimaginable to outsiders.

The last immortal herb is the most special. It is a small person about a foot tall, without leaves, with a flowing luster all over its body, accumulating nine colors, extremely dazzling, and its fragrance is pervasive. Just one whiff of it makes people feel as if they have entered the realm of Tao, as if they have comprehended the ultimate mystery of the human body.

This is the Emperor's divine medicine in human form. It can be made from herbs or trees, and it takes the form of a human, which is quite magical.

When it was cut out of the stone, it was almost dead, and its divine essence was almost completely lost. No one but the Great Emperor could save it.

But now it has recovered so quickly, which is simply beyond reason.

The reason for everything lies in the imperial weapon of the Divine Continent Dynasty, which has a great connection with the humanoid divine medicine.

Like some miraculous medicines, the humanoid miraculous medicine can also shed its physical form and be reborn. The ancient tree that surrounds the stars and seems to reach into the universe is the physical form of the humanoid miraculous medicine.

This is not hard to find; whether it is the Heavenly Court ruins behind the nine Imperial Passes or the hands of the Carefree Celestial Venerable in the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, there is such a divine tree.

The shed shells of the immortal elixir can be used as materials to refine supreme imperial weapons. This applies not only to the humanoid elixir but also to the shed shells of the Bodhi ancient tree.

In addition, an immortal tree floated above Dao Qingling's head; it was seized from a Great Sage on the purple bronze warship.

The Immortal Tree is like a Holy Spirit; the conditions for its cultivation are very difficult to meet, and once it is taken out, it cannot be upgraded again. Only a few heaven-defying methods can achieve this.

One method is to use an ancient emperor-level weapon spirit. In the original timeline, Ye Fan did just that, placing the ancient emperor-level weapon spirit of the Wang family stone workshop into the immortal tree nurtured by the fire spirit Cang Yan, allowing it to grow together with the dragon horse.

Dao Qingling directly used an imperial weapon. The imperial weapons of the Divine Continent Dynasty are extremely special because their main body is the shell of an immortal divine medicine. They can both absolutely suppress spiritual objects such as plants and trees, and also grant them heaven-defying fortune.

He also gave the water from the Immortal Transformation Pool to Dao Qingling, who frequently watered the three immortal herbs. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why they were able to grow into their nascent forms so quickly.

The lakes used by the Divine Continent Dynasty to nourish its imperial weapons, the pool water of the Yaochi Ancient Land, the pool water of the Immortal Transformation Pool, and the divine spring of the Desolate Ancient Holy Land are all of the same level of immortal liquid.

After all, the Great Emperor of Shenzhou was once an invincible emperor who ruled an era. Finding such a top-grade immortal liquid to nourish his imperial weapon was not a problem for him.

Zhou Qing took out a large black cauldron, which was suspended in mid-air. He removed strands of black and gold dragon patterns, which shimmered with dazzling light, as if a black dragon had come back to life.

"Since you're ready, let's set off." Dao Qingling stood up, her pure white dress fluttering in the air, further highlighting her otherworldly and ethereal beauty.

A wisp of pure energy flew out from her head and transformed into a Dao body. Like Zhou Qing, she used the Dao body to enter the Feather Ascension Ancestral Temple, while her true body remained still.

The towering divine tree rapidly shrank, rising from the ground and flying out of the lake. It had no roots and, after shrinking, resembled a human body. Finally, it fell into the hands of Dao Qingling's Daoist body.

It's normal that there are no roots, after all...

Its roots are beside it, which is the humanoid divine medicine that has now been restored. However, this divine medicine, whether it is grass or tree, is shaped like a human body, which makes Zhou Qing feel very strange.

However, the important thing now is to explore the Feathered Ancestral Temple, so the mystery of this humanoid divine medicine should be put aside for now.

The heart of the Central Plains is now barren, shrouded in darkness, and perpetually shrouded in a band of black mist, where the light is unknown.

"This is the former number one ancestral dragon vein in Zhongzhou. It's truly terrifying."

Upon arriving here, Zhou Qing stood high in the sky and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

This was no longer a mountain range; it was practically a plateau, thicker than thousands upon thousands of mountains stacked together. After opening my Heavenly Eye, my vision stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles, and I could see that the power that had shattered the Ancestral Dragon Vein was merely a palm print.

"Which direction should the Imperial Weapon be aimed at?" Dao Qingling parted her cherry lips slightly, revealing a smile, her eyes ethereal.

"There!" Zhou Qing pointed to a coordinate.

It was very dark there, with swirling black mist, like the underworld, but it was empty, with no buildings in sight.

Without hesitation, Dao Qingling swept forward with the small tree in her hand, and billions of rays of light shot out, dazzlingly bright, as if becoming the only one in the world, rumbling and roaring, engulfing heaven and earth.

"boom"

The dragon-patterned black-gold cauldron in Zhou Qing's hand resonated, emanating an aura that could shatter the Three Realms and Six Paths—powerful, domineering, and terrifying beyond measure.

The roar of dragons was deafening, and tens of thousands of black dragons soared into the sky, their tails all inside the black and gold cauldron with dragon patterns, their heads facing the heavens.

Each one is tens of thousands of feet long, terrifyingly vast, and as thick as a mountain. Each scale, cast in black gold, is as large as a door panel and gleams with a metallic luster.

Tens of thousands of dragons rushed forward, and with a deafening roar, it felt as if the heart of this Central Plains was about to overturn, the heavens and earth shook violently.

This powerful force is invincible and unparalleled, capable of destroying all life.

Unique array patterns emerged, enveloping the heavens and earth. These were the Heaven-Deceiving Array Patterns, originating from several great emperors, not just the array patterns of the Great Emperor Wushi.

Because of the hasty preparations, the power of this attack was mostly concealed, but some of it still managed to escape, though not as strong, and thus failed to attract the attention of others.

Moreover, the entire world's attention is now focused on the Qinling Mountains. Both the Great Xia and the Nine Li have concentrated all their strength on that side.

Even though the Ancient Hua Dynasty didn't bring their imperial weapons, their weapons were always facing the Qinling Mountains, and everyone's attention was focused there.

Therefore, no force noticed Zhou Qing and Dao Qingling's actions in the heart of Zhongzhou at this moment.

"Boom"

An ancient temple looms in the distance, bearing the marks of time, seemingly existing for countless millennia, yet still standing strong.

The ancestral temple of the Feathered God Dynasty was sealed, but now a corner of it has been blasted open by them using the ultimate imperial weapon, and it has finally been revealed to the outside world.

“Let’s go in.” Zhou Qing and Dao Qingling exchanged a glance, then Zhou Qing disappeared from the spot and rushed into the temple.

This is a world of temples, vast and boundless. From the outside, it looks like an ancient temple, but once you enter, you discover that it is a terrifying cluster of small worlds. Each courtyard is a realm, connected to each other, magnificent and enormous to the extreme.

It's truly astonishing how extravagant the Feathered Divine Dynasty was. Back then, there must have been an existence with unparalleled magical power who spared no expense to evolve so many small worlds. The so-called ancestral temple is unfathomable.

They charged straight through the ancient temples. The temples in front of them were not very dangerous, at least not to them; there was nothing worth paying attention to.

The second ancient temple houses some descendants of Yin gods. If an ordinary powerful being were to be ambushed and killed by them, their body would be transformed into a bloodstained human skin.

After they broke in, the pressure emanating from just two imperial weapons swept away a large group of Yin God descendants and rushed into the ancient temple behind them.

Chapter 298 Feathered Ancestral Temple

These ancient temples, one after another, are separated by walls, making it seem as if you could simply fly over them.

In reality, it is impossible to cross the wall. The courtyard on the surface is actually a self-contained world, and there is a spatial barrier on the wall.

Unless they shatter the vacuum and force it open, Zhou Qing and his group would naturally not be so reckless.

In the past, the Feathered Divine Dynasty ruled most of the Central Plains, and its strength far exceeded that of the four major divine dynasties. This ancestral temple was their most sacred place. If the temple were destroyed, who knows what terrible things would happen.

In the second courtyard, they encountered a large group of descendants of the Yin God.

Corpses can become spirits, and they can transform in several ways, such as flying yakshas, ​​corpse demons, and yin ghosts. However, one of these transformations is extremely terrifying: the yin spirit.

This is a brand new life form, the highest level of corpse transformation, a life transformed from the ultimate death. It can cultivate anew and can also give birth to offspring.

These descendants of Yin gods are extraordinary; they can directly restrain a person's movements, sucking out their essence, blood, bones, and flesh mouth-to-mouth, leaving only a human skin.

“It seems there are at least two Yin Gods deep within the Feathered Ancestral Temple, one male and one female, otherwise it would be difficult to give birth to so many Yin God descendants.” Dao Qingling made this judgment after they passed the second courtyard.

After that, they quickly passed through three or four courtyards and reached the fifth one.

Unlike in the original timeline, the Feathered Ancestral Temple has not had its first thirty levels cleared out by the Four Great Divine Dynasties and the Yao Guang Holy Land. Now, every courtyard of the Ancestral Temple contains many dangers.

However, the first four dangers all come from living beings, while the fifth danger does not come from living beings.

The fifth courtyard is quite extraordinary, with some ancient stone carvings in the halls that emit their own light, creating a dazzling and radiant atmosphere.

Each of them held an ultimate imperial weapon and looked at the stone carvings from afar. The ancient characters and runes shone brightly, radiating wisps of divine light, filling the place with a sacred aura.

Anyone who sees this stone carving for the first time will think it is either the enlightenment of a sage or a profound scripture.

Not long after, Zhou Qing entered the Dao Realm, but at that moment, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron trembled slightly, waking him up. Dao Qingling on the other side was also awakened by the divine tree in her hand.

"These things are quite good, but it takes some time to truly understand them," Zhou Qing remarked.

"It has the feel of the Ancient Scripture of Ascension, but it has laid a trap. However, our Supreme Emperor Weapon can resist that power. We can comprehend a little bit each time, and eventually we will comprehend it all." Dao Qingling nodded slightly.

This is truly a case of exceptional skill and daring; they completely disregarded the hidden power lurking within that stone carving.

Zhou Qing wasn't unaware that just glancing at the stone carving might mean certain death, but he still wanted to see it, relying on the protection of the Supreme Emperor Weapon. Besides, he was merely a Dao Body; what was there to fear about dying?

Moreover, he was indeed interested in the contents of the stone carving, but now that he had seen it, his expectations had dropped.

"It's just a part of the Ancient Scripture of Ascension that's been tampered with. We might be able to get the complete Ancient Scripture of Ascension once we break through to the end. There's really no need to stay here." Zhou Qing shook his head.

they

After passing through ten ancient temples, we officially arrived at the eleventh level.

From this moment on, they will not be entering a courtyard, but a truly vast and boundless little world.

There are ancient trees, mountains, and grass here, but no sunlight; it is filled with boundless darkness.

A foul wind blew in, and Zhou Qing opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye. Golden light shot towards the heavens and the earth, flowing with extremely terrifying power, like a giant millstone capable of crushing people.

Two beams of light shot out, instantly piercing through a huge, ferocious beast, which let out a shrill scream before crashing to the ground.

"It should be a descendant of the guardian beast of the temple, surviving generation after generation. And this ferocious beast is actually a beast king, having already reached the third level of immortality and cut through the Dao. Its strength is quite good," Zhou Qing commented.

"Ouch."

In the dense forest, a roar of beasts rang out, and dozens of pairs of eyes shone from the darkness. Among them, a few pairs were particularly dazzling, as bright as magic lamps, and exuded an aura of royalty.

"One death isn't enough? Can't you see the situation clearly?" Zhou Qing snorted coldly, grabbing the dragon-patterned black gold cauldron and smashing it into the void.

A vast ocean surged forth, the Emperor's aura boiling, emitting a dazzling divine light. In an instant, the temple trembled violently, and those dozens of eyes vanished without a trace.
