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

Even with the same type of third eye, some people have it in their forehead while others have it in their eyes. The location may vary, but the strength of the third eye does not depend on its location.

To open the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye using the Chaotic Ancient Secret Technique, whether you choose to open it between your eyebrows or in both eyes, you only need to refine nine ancient characters. It doesn't mean that you need to refine eighteen ancient characters to open it into both eyes.

Therefore, it doesn't really matter whether the next ancient character should be refined into the left or right eye, because the physical eyeball is just a superficial appearance.

This kind of weather

The eye, in essence, is an inscription of the Great Dao. The physical body manifests the form of the Heavenly Eye, but the source of the Heavenly Eye is related to a person's primordial spirit, to a person's Dao, or, to something more essential and representative of that person.

Therefore, Zhou Qing's eyes are superficially integrated into the physical eye, but in reality, he is integrating something more essential. He won't find that his eyes have become ordinary eyes after his head was blown apart in a major battle and then healed.

In fact, this applies not only to the third eye, but also to the various secret realms of the human body and a person's constitution. Although the outward manifestation of these things is within the physical body, their true location should be something at a higher level.

Therefore, a person will not lose a pole in the Four Extremes Secret Realm and be unable to connect with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth just because their arm is cut off. Nor will a person lose the Sea of ​​Wheels, several Dao Palaces and Divine Treasures, or several Transformations of Dragon Transformation just because half of their body is blown apart and parts of their spine, below the navel, internal organs, etc. are separated.

Including physical constitution, it won't become an ordinary constitution just because a person's physical body is completely destroyed and then reassembled.

After the second ancient character was refined, the changes in Zhou Qing's eyes became even faster. Waves of chaotic energy surged and condensed into various suns, moons, and stars, forming star fields.

Next, Zhou Qing gradually refined the other seven ancient characters into his eyes. His eyes revealed a profound and powerful aura, and deep within his pupils, miniature star fields were evolving. These were all composed of endless Dao patterns, a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth.

Dao patterns represent the rules of heaven and earth. When Dao patterns are combined, they can form various kinds of supernatural powers. The various abilities of the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye are composed of these endless Dao patterns.

At this moment, with each blink of Zhou Qing's eyes, it seemed as if he could see through all things in the world, discern their origins, and perceive their true "inner workings."

However, this state is very unstable, sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.

Half an hour later, his eyes returned to normal. Although he still couldn't see through the essence of things, his eyesight had greatly improved. His eyes emitted a divine light that could see through thousands of miles. Normally, this was something only a great power could achieve.

Now, Zhou Qing has completed the initial cultivation of the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye. According to the records in the secret method, he will cleanse his eyes again with nine Emperor characters at each of the next minor realms. Without any external assistance, once he breaks through to the Great Power level, the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye will immediately take true shape.

However, with the aid of a spiritual object, this process can be completed much earlier.

With a flash of light, a stone gall bladder, purple with a golden glow, appeared in Zhou Qing's hand.

Such a stone gall is not truly mature. Although it can help him speed up the process of opening his third eye, it cannot be achieved in one step.

However, he can make up for the remaining small portion of progress by taking some spiritual items from the clan's treasury.

Stone gall, also known as immortal gall, is said to have been formed when the essence of a true immortal's gall was lost and then deposited in a sealed stone. This theory was widely accepted during the chaotic ancient era.

In this era, most people believed that these were rare treasures nurtured by the natural world.

After Zhou Qing tore open the outer skin of the stone gall, a fragrant aroma immediately wafted out. In terms of aroma alone, it was no less than that of some of the most renowned medicinal herbs.

Zhou Qing tilted his head back, placed the stone gall above his eyes, and gently squeezed it. A purple-gold liquid slowly flowed into his eyes.

This juice is quite magical; it first gives you a cool sensation, followed by a stinging pain.

Two beams of lightning shot from Zhou Qing's eyes. He began to use a secret technique to accelerate the formation of his Heavenly Eye. If you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were covered with Dao patterns, which were condensing into patches of the sun, moon and stars.

This process cannot be rushed. Zhou Qing needs to refine the juice little by little. Only after the stinging sensation in his eyes disappears can he squeeze out some more juice.

Chapter 81 Going to Central Plains

With each refinement, Zhou Qing could clearly feel the power within the Heavenly Eye growing stronger, condensing into an extremely terrifying ability.

Half an hour later, all the juice in the stone gall was consumed.

His eyes shone brightly, almost reaching the level of a true martial arts eye.

"The effect of the stone gall is truly amazing, saving me so much time," Zhou Qing exclaimed.

Soon, he took out another small bottle, opened it, and a pleasant fragrance wafted out.

This is also a rare spiritual object in the world, which can also help in the formation of the third eye, and it is very difficult to see.

Its origin is a peerless spiritual herb in the Chaos Immortal Land. Later, after the elders searched ancient books and found the corresponding records, they refined it into a bottle of divine liquid using a certain method. It is entirely composed of concentrated essence.

Zhou Qing took two drops of divine liquid from the bottle, dripped them directly into the liquid, then closed his eyes and silently refined it.

After a moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and instantly, two dazzling beams of light shot out from his eyes, rushing out of the island and piercing through thousands of miles.

"What is this thing? It feels like it contains a terrifying power."

Countless members of the Zhou family were drawn to the two divine lights that stretched across the sky. When they turned their gaze to the source of the lights, they saw that it was the small island where Zhou Qing was located.

"The commotion actually came from the Divine Child. Has he mastered some terrifying secret technique? This is astonishing!" people exclaimed.

At this moment, in Zhou Qing's eyes, his vision suddenly expanded to a very, very far distance. Even an insect thousands of miles away seemed to be right in front of him, and every movement was incredibly clear.

The whole world became brighter, and every color became more vivid. Walls and mountains could not block his vision; he could see right through them. Nothing could stop him.

In this world, every blade of grass, every tree, every mountain, and every river seems to possess a greater spirituality, as if one can see something more essential.

With expanded vision, everything becomes clear, trajectories slow down, the origin is seen through, and illusions are traversed—this is merely the most basic ability after activating the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye.

With continued development, the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye will not be limited to these abilities; it will acquire other, even more extraordinary ones.

For example, looking back at events that happened not long ago, Ye Qingxian demonstrated this ability, and if it is further developed, it can even be "grafted".

After opening and closing his eyes, Zhou Qing's eyes no longer emitted divine light. In his eyes, it seemed as if star fields were being born and destroyed, evolving the mysteries of the universe.

He did not get up immediately, but silently comprehended the great Dao and the rules of heaven and earth contained within it.

All divine arts are essentially an analysis of heaven and earth. They are the process of understanding a certain rule of heaven and earth and then imprinting that rule in the form of Dao patterns, which gives rise to all sorts of supernatural abilities.

Understanding divine arts involves deciphering the complex Dao patterns contained within them. The deeper one's understanding of these Dao patterns, the more one can unleash the true power of the Martial Dao Heavenly Eye.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on his small island for a month, and an indescribable spiritual aura flowed around him, as if it were the pure and ethereal Great Dao, or as if it were an illusory eternity.

Suddenly, he grew...

He rose up, his figure flashed, and he transformed into a long rainbow, flying away from the Zhou family's floating island group, and found a sparsely populated area outside.

He is about to undergo tribulation. As his cultivation level increases, he can no longer undergo tribulation within the clan's territory, so he needs to find a wasteland.

"Rumble"

A vast, destructive sea of ​​lightning descended directly, submerging an area of ​​dozens of miles in radius. The sea of ​​lightning surged and emitted a deafening sound that traveled a great distance.

This is what he has gained over the past four months. Whether it is studying the nine characters of Emperor or the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, the essence is to understand the Great Dao. Once one has a certain level of understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, one can naturally open the door to the next realm.

Spiritual practice is like this: different changes occur at each stage. These changes are described in various scriptures, but the more profound the scripture, the more directly it addresses the core of these changes.

Even when different scriptures discuss the same change, they may have different opinions on which is primary and which is secondary, which is inevitable and which is accidental.

However, it is precisely because of this difference in philosophy that even among the same imperial scriptures, there will be distinctions of strength and weakness within the same volume.

Perhaps the Western Emperor Scripture would suggest that this realm should change in one way and then in another, while the Chaotic Ancient Emperor Scripture would suggest that it should change in one way first and then in another.

Even if the philosophies of cultivation differ, one can still advance to the next realm; the only difference is the strength within the same realm.

At this moment, as Zhou Qing underwent another tribulation, he advanced to a minor realm, reaching the sixth transformation of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

With the help of Emperor Hengyu's insights, once he entered this realm, it was as if he had already progressed halfway through this realm.

As for how to progress from the sixth transformation of the Dragon Transformation to the seventh transformation, this understanding was vividly evolving in Zhou Qing's mind.

However, he and Emperor Hengyu differed somewhat in their evolution of the Six Transformations of the Dragon. This was due to the differences in their Dao, so for Zhou Qing, it could only serve as a reference.

After a lightning tribulation, Zhou Qing returned to the Zhou family's territory. On the way, he saw a man who had just come out of the Zhou family's council hall. He was one of his clan uncles, the powerful figure who had brought him back from Hanzhou last time.

"Uncle Zhou Yun, what are you busy with again?" Zhou Qingfei asked as he approached.

Zhou Yun turned around and saw that it was Zhou Qing who was asking the question, so he said, "I need to go to Zhongzhou to trade some top-grade dragon marrow to make your cultivation go more smoothly."

For the Zhou family, this was a normal trade between forces, but this time it was more solemn because they were going to exchange some very high-quality dragon marrow, which is why a powerful figure was needed to go in person.

On the ancient star of the Big Dipper, the source of the Eastern Wilderness in the Northern Region is famous throughout the world. People from all five regions know that there are many sources in the Eastern Wilderness in the Northern Region, and it is also easy to find things preserved from ancient times.

Beyond the Five Regions, the Southern Ridge is also famous for its many ancient medicinal herbs. In the desolate mountains and wilderness of the Southern Ridge, one can often find spiritual herbs that are over 10,000 years old, and occasionally even dig up small medicinal kings that are over 50,000 years old.

The Central Plains are famous for their abundance of dragon veins and dragon marrow, which is why powerful forces that can cross domains often trade these specialties.

Dragon marrow is formed from the essence of all veins. It contains fragments of the Great Dao Laws and can help cultivators who have transformed into dragons break through their cultivation barriers. Many forces need this kind of thing.

Zhou Qing was quite surprised and asked, "Going to Zhongzhou? Can I come along?"

Chapter 82 Zhongzhou

Zhou Yun pondered for a moment and replied, "With your current cultivation level, it is indeed time for you to get involved in some family matters. I'll go and discuss it with the family head. Come with me then."

"Okay." A smile appeared on Zhou Qing's face.

Afterwards, Zhou Yun entered the council hall again to have a detailed talk with Zhou Qing's father, while Zhou Qing returned to his residence to quietly cultivate and stabilize his realm.

A day later, a small golden sword pierced through the light barrier on the island, weaving through the void like a flickering light, disappearing in an instant, and finally stopping in front of Zhou Qing.

"click"

The small sword shattered into a shower of light, from which a gentle voice emanated.

“Since you want to go to Zhongzhou, then go ahead. Zhou Yun and I have already set a time; we’ll depart at noon three days from now.”

Zhou Qing listened silently, and after the sound ended, he once again fell into a deep state of tranquility, comprehending the great Dao of heaven and earth.

Three days later, at Yumen Island.

The island is dotted with all sorts of Xuan Jade Platforms, large and small, numbering in the hundreds. Most of them lead to various parts of the Eastern Wilderness, while a few large Xuan Jade Platforms lead to other major domains.

At this moment, Zhou Qing was already standing in front of one of the large jade platforms. Besides him, there were more than a dozen clansmen following behind him, with Zhou Yun acting as the leader.

This time, in addition to the trade of dragon marrow, it involves all aspects of the transaction, and is a diplomatic negotiation that will last at least a month.

"Which immortal dynasty are we going to?" Zhou Qing asked.

“Yes, it is one of the four immortal dynasties of Zhongzhou, the Shenzhou Dynasty. This dynasty has a very deep and close relationship with us,” Zhou Yun replied.

"What's the relationship?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

“I don’t know. Only the heads of the family in previous generations know the secret. But judging from your progress in cultivation, it won’t be long before you inherit the position of family head. In fact, you should understand the meaning behind the reason why you were appointed as the deputy envoy this time,” Zhou Yun said.

Zhou Qing nodded. He roughly understood that this was paving the way for him to become the head of the family, letting him familiarize himself with the family's affairs and interactions with other forces. It would be unacceptable if he became the head of the family but didn't know what industries or networks the Zhou family had, or was completely ignorant about the Zhou family.

Soon after, a dimensional gate appeared before them, and the group filed in.

Finally, the gate closed, and after a moment of eternal darkness and nothingness, a world of light once again appeared before everyone's eyes.

Surrounded by a sacred mountain, the scenery here is picturesque, with misty clouds and palaces, medicinal fields, and countless powerful cultivators guarding the area. This is one of the Zhou family's strongholds in Zhongzhou.

Upon seeing a group of people emerge from the domain gate, the person in charge of this stronghold immediately came from another location.

"Zhou Yun, it's actually you who came this time." The person in charge said in surprise as soon as he arrived.
