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

"What? This is the most important token of my Zhou family! How could he have it?"

On some of the surrounding small islands, young people were whispering and speculating about Zhou Qing's identity.

"Could it be that he is the legendary divine body?"

When someone proposed this conjecture, a group of people immediately changed their expressions.

"That is indeed possible. Only the legendary god from seven years ago would possess such a token."

"Didn't I hear he'd been cultivating deep within the mountains? When did he go out?"

"Who would have known? His island is usually shrouded in endless array patterns, and we've hardly ever seen him."

"Didn't you notice his cultivation level? That's a Dao Palace Secret Realm!"

At this point, the group of people fell silent, their faces showing surprise.

“At my age, I am still trapped in the fog of delusion on the bridge of gods,” a person murmured.

"It can only be said that he is indeed a divine body, and his cultivation speed is much faster than ours."

While these people were exchanging information and analyzing intelligence, Zhou Qing had already flown far away.

The divine land where the Zhou family lived was vast. It took more than a hundred miles to fly from the outer divine island to the deepest divine island before reaching Zhou Qing's destination.

This island is the small island where Zhou Qing is located. It is not very big, only a few miles in circumference, but every plant and tree on it has an incredibly amazing spirituality.

When Zhou Qing was forging divine runes, he absorbed most of the spiritual energy in the area, causing all the vegetation to wither and die.

Later, a powerful being used his boundless divine power to try to make the withered flowers and plants bloom again and burst forth with life, but he was unable to save them. It was as if withering was a predetermined fate that could not be changed no matter what.

There was no other way but to transplant them from other islands. All the various medicinal herbs, rare flowers, and sacred trees on the island now are replanted.

Holding the Divine Sun Token, Zhou Qing flew directly into the island, while Zhou Chang left to report to Zhou Wuji, the Holy Master of the Zhou Family.

As Zhou Qing flew overhead, a layer of light appeared in the air, covered with densely packed Dao patterns. As Zhou Qing passed through, it was as if he were passing through a curtain of water; the light barrier slightly...

With a slight tremor, Zhou Qing entered smoothly.

Only those who possess the Divine Sun Token can freely enter and exit this array. If anyone else dares to trespass, the killing array will activate, unleashing a Saint Lord-level sword light that will instantly kill the intruder.

Zhou Qing disappeared with each step, as if shrinking the distance to an inch, and returned to his palace in just a few breaths.

Within the palace, an ethereal mist floated in the air, like water vapor, creating a hazy and indistinct atmosphere.

In the very center floats an ice-blue altar, carved from some extremely precious spiritual essence. This spiritual essence is even harder to find than some saint-level materials. The Zhou family spent 100,000 years to forge only this one altar.

Above the dome, countless auspicious rays descended, enveloping the altar like a veil.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the altar and began to organize his gains over the past period.

He obtained half of the "Devouring Heaven Demon Art" from Hua Yunfei, the "Western Emperor Scripture" from the Yaochi Ancient Land, and his own family also possessed the "Supreme Yang Scripture".

This Supreme Yang Scripture is said to be related to one of the most ancient sacred methods of the human race, the True Scripture of the Sun. The Zhou family ancestor obtained seven-tenths of the fragments back then. After studying it, he was inspired by it and created his own Supreme Yang Scripture, advancing it to the quasi-emperor level.

Zhou Qing originally used the Wheel Sea chapter of the Supreme Yang Scripture to build his foundation. However, although this scripture was very powerful, it was not quite suitable for his physique. The Western Emperor Scripture, on the other hand, was created by the innate Dao Embryo and has a more profound guidance on the unity of heaven and man and the induction of the power of the Great Dao.

Although the Western Emperor Scripture, unlike the Beginningless Scripture, was created one-to-one entirely for the innate Dao embryo, it is still the most suitable scripture for Zhou Qing's near-Dao constitution because the creator of the scripture was an innate Dao embryo.

Rebuilding is different from the first time. There is no need to go through things like opening the sea of ​​suffering and building the divine bridge again. In just half a year, Zhou Qing transformed his foundation.

After all, although he was in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, he had not actually cultivated any of the divine organs, so it was very convenient for him to change his foundation.

During the revision, Zhou Qing would also refer to the Wheel Sea Chapters of other ancient scriptures, compare and analyze them, and ponder the ideas of these different ancient scriptures in the Wheel Sea Chapters.

Each of these ancient scriptures has its own unique merits, and each emperor has his own unique ideas about the essence of each realm. This greatly inspired Zhou Qing, broadened his horizons, and made his thinking much more flexible.

After transforming his foundation, Zhou Qing also needed to advance his cultivation in the Dao Palace Secret Realm. At this time, the palace was filled with countless sources of all kinds.

There are no ordinary pure sources here; even the lowest quality ones are special heterogeneous sources.

There is a fiery red source among the heterogeneous sources, overflowing with fiery red radiance, like a burning cloud, or like a blood-soaked fairy aura, so red that it is intoxicating.

There are also green stones that resemble leaves, only a little over an inch long, with a bright green color and a warm, lustrous sheen, much like a green leaf. This is the Green Leaf Source among the heterogeneous sources.

A piece of snow jade, about the size of a fist, was as large as a piece of ice. It exuded wisps of frost, causing the air temperature to drop sharply and wisps of cool air to drift in all directions.

There was another source that emitted light, like the concentrated essence of the azure sky, shooting out streaks of blue light; this was the Blue Diamond Source.

Two more divine sources, each the size of a human head, floated in the air, never sinking. Dense spiritual energy flowed around them, almost turning them into liquid. The divine sources were extremely dazzling, shooting out beams of divine light that rivaled the sun in brilliance.

If only cultivators at the Bitter Sea or Life Spring realms were here, they wouldn't be able to look directly at the Divine Source. Forcing themselves to look directly at it might even blind them. Even Zhou Qing felt that the radiance of the Divine Source was extremely dazzling and too bright.

Chapter 36 The Five Organs and Five Elements of the Dao Palace

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the altar, his body surging with energy, every pore on his body open, endless source energy surging from all around, washing over his body like a tide, and a soaring divine light enveloping him.

Before reaching the Four Extremes Secret Realm, the main focus is on absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy. As long as the absorbed essence is sufficient, there will be no problem entering the next realm.

The radiance formed from the source energy continuously cleansed his physical body. Every inch of his skin was filled with spiritual energy, making his entire body radiant and flawless, like a deity.

Within the Taoist palace, the sounds of the Great Dao resounded, as if transcending time and space, drifting from the past. The chanting of scriptures continued uninterrupted, and divine sounds were incessant. In a trance, one could hear the sounds of all living beings offering sacrifices and worshipping, or perhaps the weeping of the gods.

Perhaps the departed self is reciting scriptures for this life, or perhaps the Dao self is resonating with the Great Dao in the outside world. But whatever it is, at this moment, it is resounding with the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao, stirring up the outside world and causing itself to transform.

Zhou Qing's Dao Palace was spotless, without a trace of turbidity. The five divine treasures could be clearly seen, and behind them were five magnificent and imposing palaces.

The Five Divine Treasures correspond to the five internal organs of the human body, also known as the Five Spirits. Among the five organs—heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—the most important is the Divine Treasure of the heart.

The mind, the repository of the spirit, is the sun and moon of the human body, the root of all life, and can be considered of paramount importance, being the highest of the five realms of the Dao Palace.

This divine treasure is the sun among the gods, using yang energy to drive the cycle of life energy, maintain the immortality of the human body, and keep its vitality uninterrupted.

Following the evolution of the Western Emperor Scripture Palace Scroll in his mind, Zhou Qing circulated his mental technique, using all the endless essence he absorbed to nourish the spiritual treasure of his heart.

It is born from innate essence and nourished by acquired essence, constantly flowing into the heart's spirit treasury, making it increasingly red and crystalline, as if it had become a real sun in the sky, rising slowly and then slowly setting, in an endless cycle.

The innate essence accompanies a person at birth, marking the beginning of their individual destiny. When the physical form is formed, the spirit is born; when the physical form perishes, the spirit vanishes.

This vital energy mainly comes from the Wheel of Life, from which countless innate essences are drawn to nourish the spirit within the heart, transforming it into a celestial sun.

The essence acquired after birth must be refined to nourish the spirit and life.

This essence is the endless life essence that Zhou Qing obtained from the external refinement source. This essence continuously flows in from the outside world, merges with the innate essence, nourishes the divine treasure in his heart, and generates endless Dao power, giving birth to deities, and replenishing his spirit and life.

As Zhou Qing continuously guided the essence and energy to nourish the spirit within his heart, the essence and energy burned intensely within his body, making this inner light of humanity shine ever brighter and more fiery red, resembling an unopened lotus flower.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhou Qing had been in seclusion for a month. His inner divine treasure had not yet transformed into a deity, but it had grown increasingly vast and filled with boundless power.

"boom"

The sun of the heart rises slowly, settling in the void of the human body world, truly becoming the sun of the Dao Palace, emanating endless innate essence from the divine storehouse of the heart.

A surge of energy spread from the Dao Palace to every part of Zhou Qing's body, skin, and hair, making his physical body crystal clear. His spirit and body underwent an incredibly thorough baptism, reaching a new level.

The divine repository of the heart did not give birth to any deities, yet the nourishment it received was immense. This nourishment enabled the heavens that the divine repository of the heart to give birth to...

The sun grew several times larger in that month.

Perhaps it is because Zhou Qing's inner spiritual treasure is too powerful that this deity cannot take form. However, this is not a bad thing, because it is precisely because of this that Zhou Qing himself has become so powerful, and the power of the Dao emitted by his inner spiritual treasure is several times that of ordinary people.

After cultivating the Mind's Divine Treasury, Zhou Qing did not immediately move on to the next Divine Treasury. Instead, he continuously practiced the Dharma within the palace, comprehending the wonders of the Mind's Divine Treasury, determined to gain a sufficient understanding of it.

This continued for another month, until the practitioner had fully comprehended the first divine treasure, before beginning the cultivation of the next divine treasure.

The next spiritual treasure is the spiritual treasure of the lungs. The heart belongs to fire, and the lungs belong to metal. Zhou Qing first cultivates the spiritual treasure of the heart, and then cultivates the spiritual treasure of the lungs. In fact, this is cultivating in reverse of the five elements.

The lungs, also known as the "canopy," are the storehouse of the spirit of heaven and earth. They absorb the essence of acquired constitution and purify it within the lungs. Then, they transport this acquired essence throughout the body, nourishing the five internal organs, muscles, and bones, making them stronger and giving the body a flawless, crystal-clear appearance.

Originally, the Wheel of Life was the only source of innate essence in the human body, but after the Heart's Divine Treasury was cultivated, the resulting Heavenly Sun became another source of innate essence. Therefore, Zhou Qing felt that his essence and energy had suddenly become several times more abundant, and his whole body seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

The lungs are the channel connecting the acquired essence to the outside world; with each breath, they are in harmony with the five elements of the outside world.

Zhou Qing also spent a month continuously circulating his inner energy, nourishing the lung spirit with endless essence, and finally cultivated the lung spirit. He did not transform into a deity, but the final result was several times stronger than the lung spirit of an ordinary person.

After successfully entering this realm, Zhou Qing felt as if all the pores on his body had opened up, as if he were connected with heaven and earth, and his speed of mobilizing the essence of heaven and earth was many times faster.

After that, Zhou Qing spent another month familiarizing himself with the mysteries of the Lung's spiritual essence and feeling the connection between himself and the five elements of heaven and earth.

What are the Five Qi? They are the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth Qi of heaven and earth, which can calm a person's spirit, soul, will, vital essence, and spirit.

The connection between the five elements and the universe, extending endlessly, gave Zhou Qing an unimaginable baptism from his physical body to his consciousness. At the same time, he became more familiar with and gained some understanding of the mysteries of the five elements.

Since Zhou Qing cultivates his spiritual treasures in reverse order of the Five Elements, and the heart belongs to fire and the lungs belong to metal, according to the theory of mutual restraint of the Five Elements, fire restrains metal, and metal restrains wood. Therefore, the next spiritual treasure is the spiritual treasure of the liver.

The liver, belonging to the wood element, stores blood and governs its free flow. The liver stores blood to nourish the heart and controls the body's vital energy. When the body has problems, the liver releases its boundless energy to cleanse the body, eliminate toxins, and leave behind pure spiritual power.

Zhou Qing spent a month nourishing the liver's spiritual essence, and then another month comprehending the changes brought about by it. After this spiritual essence was cultivated, it could be said that the poison that originally had an effect on Zhou Qing could now be expelled from his body on its own.

Furthermore, because Zhou Qing's liver spirit is several times more powerful than that of an ordinary person, his resistance to poison is even more terrifying. Unless the poison is four or five realms higher than him, it will hardly have any effect on him.

The spleen, belonging to the earth element, governs transformation and transportation, controls essence and blood, distributes the essence of water and grain, is the source of qi and blood production, nourishes the internal organs and the entire body, and is the foundation of postnatal health.

This divine treasure is extremely important; many of our needs after birth are derived from it.

After a month of cultivation, Zhou Qing's blood and qi became increasingly abundant, soaring into the sky and transforming into a dragon-shaped pillar of qi that shot upwards from the top of his head. The strength of his physical body reached an astonishing level.

After that, I spent another month experiencing the changes that this powerful energy brought to me. Every move I made was accompanied by the sound of tsunamis, and my energy surged so fiercely that it was terrifying.

The kidneys, belonging to the water element, possess extremely strong vitality and can quickly restore physical and mental strength.

After cultivating the Kidney Divine Treasury, Zhou Qing's divine power recovery speed greatly increased, almost dozens of times faster than before, and his endurance suddenly became much stronger.

To cultivate the Five Great Divine Treasures, Zhou Qing used over 1.3 million catties of Origin, exhausting all the alien Origin and Divine Origin. However, the gains were also enormous. Zhou Qing's essence, blood, and even divine sense became much stronger.

Zhou Qing now felt that if he were to fight his former self who had not cultivated any divine treasures, he could almost defeat his former self without any chance of fighting back, and his divine power would be inexhaustible with almost no loss.

Chapter 37 Formation, Existence, Decay, and Emptiness

Inside the palace, the sounds of the Great Dao resounded, expounding the profound principles of heaven and earth. The chanting of scriptures was incessant, the sound indistinct and distant, making it impossible to discern the sound or understand the meaning.

Within Zhou Qing's Dao Palace, his five internal organs trembled simultaneously, and the essence of the five elements surged. Five-colored divine light burst forth from the Dao Palace, swirling together in the void and transforming into five illusory gods.

These five illusory gods manifested the five elements in the void, with earth, fire, water, and wind rotating in the air, seemingly about to create a small world.

These are not true deities. The five illusory gods do not actually exist; they are merely in form. In reality, they are just the five elements of immortal light, representing the five fundamental elements of heaven and earth.

The five elements rotate and transform into one, achieving a state of balance. They combine with earth, wind, water, and fire, as if to create a small world in the void.

"boom"

The greatest sound is the silence. A loud bang seemed to come from the void. The sound was clearly shocking and made people tremble, but it was also very faint and difficult to hear.

Above the palace, the four great calamities of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness unfolded, and a small world revolved in the air, with wisps of chaotic mist swirling around it, the aura of creation being incredibly intense.
