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

Zhou Qing carefully explored this chaotic source with his divine sense, and immediately a scene appeared in his mind: the world before it was created and the universe was still in its infancy.

"It contains a power of creation, a power that seems capable of evolving and absorbing everything. It's a good thing, so let's use it to forge weapons!"

Zhou Qing was very tempted when he saw such divine materials. He was about to undergo his tribulation, and if he could forge the artifact before then, he could also put it in the lightning tribulation to refine it and accompany him as he grew.

As soon as Zhou Qing thought of it, he immediately took action. He controlled his weapon to smash directly into it. With a "crack", the door shattered and merged with the chaotic essence.

A large amount of multicolored flames burst out from the broken door, like wave after wave of ocean, sweeping around.

Zhou Qing immediately used the Mountain and River Map to collect all the endless flames. These flames would be used to refine weapons later, so he had to preserve them well.

The door wasn't smashed; Zhou Qing deliberately broke it, because only in this way could he truly fuse the Chaos Origin Root with his own artifact.

"I need to set up some things to speed up the weapon forging process," Zhou Qing thought.

So he transformed into a beam of divine light, soaring straight into the sky with lightning speed, and quickly flew up from the abyss.

Zhou Qing took out four pieces of divine source, each the size of a human head, and began to inscribe the Origin Heaven Pattern on them.

An hour later, the four divine sources were densely engraved with intricate source techniques, containing endless mysteries.

Zhou Qing unleashed his magic power, instantly hurling the four pieces of divine source towards...

It surveyed the surroundings, then settled in mid-air, its divine light soaring into the sky, endlessly blazing.

"Appear!" Zhou Qing shouted, and instantly each divine source block transformed into a celestial spirit, emanating a suffocating power.

A small dragon, a divine phoenix, a celestial tiger, and a black tortoise, all no more than a foot long, all golden in color and lifelike, stood guard in the four directions, each opening its mouth to spit out a streak of light that rushed into Zhou Qing's body.

Next, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the void. Within his body, the Mountain and River Map released a large amount of multicolored flames, which burned fiercely. However, his cultivation level was not what it used to be, and this level of flames could no longer pose a threat to him.

For four whole months, Zhou Qing was forging his own artifact.

The first step is to refine the shape of the vessel.

The function of a vessel is determined by many factors, among which the shape of the vessel is the first to affect its function.

For example, a bell is mainly used to generate bell waves; a cauldron is mainly used to suppress; a sword is mainly used to emit sword light; and a diagram is mainly used to recruit people.

What determines these main modes of use is their innate "form".

Besides, some of the application methods are actually similar, but the effects are different. Otherwise, if each different instrument had the same strength in each function, then there would be no point in distinguishing between different instruments.

For example, in terms of suppression, although everyone can do it, the ding (a type of ancient Chinese cooking vessel) is slightly better than other shapes in this respect.

Because what is a ding (鼎)? It is a national treasure. In history, when mountains and rivers collapsed and dynasties changed, the ding was given the meaning of suppressing the fate of dynasties.

For example, although a sword is good at killing, it is not unusable to use it to capture people. The sword body can actually contain a small world, but this is not where its form is good. If you insist on leaving the sword light unused, you can use a sword to capture and refine people.

It's not that it's impossible, but that would be like using your weaknesses against the enemy, and you would inevitably suffer a great loss if you encountered a weapon of the same level.

Different vessel shapes have different keywords. These keywords often clearly and simply point out the main attributes of a vessel, and at the same time, they also represent the future development direction of a vessel.

Zhou Qing cast the shape of the vessel in the second month.

According to Zhou Qing, the key word for "door" is "connectivity".

It represents the creation of a passage connecting two spaces that were originally isolated from each other.

In a sense, a window can be seen as a smaller version of a door, because they share the same properties, only their objects of action are different.

Zhou Qing once heard a saying: "You never know what new world will be connected behind a door."

Doors may be simple and obvious, nothing special, but for every household and every living being, who doesn't need a door?

Some objects, even if they never appear in the world, will not have any impact on the world.

But the world cannot exist without doors. Doors are needed to enter and exit houses, to open caves, to traverse the void, to open the path through the stars, and to enter the immortal realm.

If you want to get from one space to another, you need a door.

This is merely a spatial connection of the door.

In Zhou Qing's view, doors can connect not only in space, but also in time.

Connecting all the heavens and myriad realms, connecting the past, present, and future, leading from one end of the Tao to the other.

After Zhou Qing forged the rough prototype of his artifact, he named it "Gate of Chaos".

The name is based on the material used, which is a very simple and clear naming method.

However, by the second month, it was still just a rough draft and needed further refinement.

Creating the shape is merely the first step in weapon crafting.

For the next month, Zhou Qing focused on truly fusing the Chaos Origin Root with his original divine runes.

This is the second step that affects the function of the device: materials.

The materials used will determine the special properties of the artifact in the future.

Just like why different types of immortal gold need to be distinguished by name, is it merely because they look different?

More importantly, each type of divine gold has its own supreme origin and profound meaning. For example, the Divine Mark Purple Gold can imitate the remaining Great Dao between heaven and earth and capture the profound meaning of scriptures in ruins; while Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold represents immortality and resurrection. It can be reborn from the ashes, which is an amazing potential.

The Chaos Source Root also has its own attributes. Although Zhou Qing is not yet able to fully develop them, as the Chaos Gate continues to grow in the future, the attributes of the Chaos Source Root will become one of its functions.

The reason Zhou Qing had to break his own door before was for this moment.

In fact, at Zhou Qing's current level, the number of divine runes within his body is already countless.

But what was most important to him were the divine runes he used to forge artifacts during his time in the Sea of ​​Wheels.

Because they had been forged through countless trials and tribulations, and subjected to the long-term tempering of divine fire, Zhou Qing had inscribed countless Dao patterns upon them.

These divine runes were originally part of the gate, but now they are completely intertwined with the Chaos Origin Root, and only the two are about to be completely merged.

Although the form has been cast, the Gate of Chaos is very simple, without any unusual phenomena, which is because it has not yet been fused.

After being tempered by the five-colored flames, the Gate of Chaos began to emit wisps of chaotic energy.

This signifies that the two have begun to integrate.

Over the next month, the gate became increasingly refined and ancient, as if it had become the source of chaos, with countless wisps of chaotic energy hanging down.

This is the source, which can continuously generate chaotic energy, endlessly, and anyone who sees it will be envious.

Normally, even collecting a wisp of chaotic energy can significantly improve the quality of a weapon during the refining process.

Yet it can be generated endlessly; what an incredible stroke of luck that is, it's simply unimaginable.

For Zhou Qing, condensing the Chaos Origin Root with his own primordial divine runes not only meant that the Gate of Chaos could generate chaotic energy, but also represented something more essential.

The Gate of Chaos truly began to unite with his life.

Of course, while it is said that life and death are intertwined, the destruction of the Gate of Chaos would not necessarily cause Zhou Qing to die at the same time. However, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood and the impact on his own Great Dao would be unavoidable.

What makes the instrument for proving the Way different from other instruments?

The root cause lies in this primordial divine rune, which is the first step in the cultivation of life and death.

If one uses a physical object as their own, then the original divine runes must be completely fused with that material.

Otherwise, if you simply use magic to forge an artifact, what's the difference between it and any other artifact you find on the roadside?

A person can forge countless artifacts in their lifetime.

But even if other items are broken, it won't affect you.

However, the instrument for attaining enlightenment is different. If it is taken away or broken, it will have serious consequences for one's path of cultivation.

In this world, there is no concept of blood oath. All artifacts can be activated with magic power as soon as they are obtained, even supreme imperial weapons.

Unless the deity inside has awakened and is extremely resistant, and the person who controls the imperial weapon is unable to suppress this deity.

Logically, once Zhou Qing had fully unleashed the power of the Chaos Origin Root, this weapon-refining journey could have ended.

However, that applies to people living below the four poles.

After reaching the Four Extremes, cultivators begin to truly comprehend the Great Dao. After this, when crafting artifacts, an additional step is added: imbuing the artifact with one's own Dao.

This is also the third factor affecting function: the Dao contained within the vessel.

Just like why the Void Mirror is so good at the Great Dao of Void, it's because the Void Emperor is also very good at the Great Dao of Void.

Within the Void Mirror are the imperial runes formed from all the Dao of the Void Emperor.

Now Zhou Qing intends to infuse his understanding of the Dao into it.

Only when even the Great Dao is incorporated into it will the Gate of Chaos truly become his tool for proving the Dao.

This is also the second step in cultivating the union of body and soul.

Zhou Qing continuously channeled his profound understanding of the Great Dao into his body, inscribing it onto the Gate of Chaos in the form of Dao patterns, thus allowing his Dao to continue in another way on this gate.

This took Zhou Qing another month.

In total, Zhou Qinghua spent a full four months building this gate.

However, Zhou Qing also gained a lot from it.

The key point lies in the last month. At the same time, Zhou Qing was not only injecting his own understanding of the Great Dao into the Gate of Chaos, but also organizing his own Great Dao.

The scriptures in his hands were numerous, including the Supreme Yang Scripture, the Western Emperor Scripture, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, the Wheel Sea to the Dragon Transformation Scroll, as well as some great scriptures and sage scriptures from his family, all of which Zhou Qing could read at his leisure.

Although he mainly studied the "Western Emperor Scripture" to maximize the power of his Dao body, it does not mean that other scriptures are useless.

The "Supreme Yang Scripture" is a fragment of the True Scripture of the Sun by the Zhou family's Quasi-Emperor Guan Taiyang. The missing parts were then filled in by the Quasi-Emperor's own insights. Although it is not as good as the original Emperor Scripture, it is still a very high-level Quasi-Emperor scripture.

Needless to say, the Devouring Heaven Demon Art was created by the Ruthless Great Emperor, and Zhou Qing's Black Hole Divine Art was derived from it.

Even scriptures at the level of saints are not to be underestimated; each one is a treasure trove for Zhou Qing.

That is scripture sufficient to establish a holy land outside.

Not all sages can open up a new path; only a few exceptionally talented individuals can do so. Those who can leave behind a lineage of teachings are formidable, expounding different great principles of heaven and earth and secret techniques.

Because Zhou Qing had studied many scriptures, he had many kinds of insights, such as the Great Dao of Nature, the Great Dao of Destiny, the Great Dao of the Sun, and the Great Dao of Devouring.

This month was the time for Zhou Qingli to reflect on his own experiences.

He extracted his own insights into the Great Dao one by one, and...

Think, analyze, compare, draw inferences, and then put it into the gate of chaos in a more perfect way.
