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

At this moment, Zhou Qing also noticed the old man's presence. He showed a hint of surprise and exclaimed, "Grandpa Chang, what brings you here?"

Zhou Chang smiled and said, "Today I will preach to you."

"Didn't we talk about that yesterday? Do we have to talk about it again today?" Zhou Qing asked, puzzled.

"The great path is boundless; how can one understand its meaning after just one listen? Moreover, everyone's understanding is different. Listening to it again will also benefit you."

When Zhou Qing was born, there were only five elderly people, his parents, and an old woman by his side, and Zhou Chang was one of them.

“Recently, my Zhou family has received some vague information. It seems that the Ji family also had a divine body born three years ago, who may become your rival in the future,” Zhou Chang said with a smile.

"Scared? I'm going to become someone who's invincible throughout history, so let him come." Zhou Qing rolled his eyes.

"Alright, I know you have confidence, let's begin the sermon." Zhou Chang flicked his sleeve, and a prayer mat appeared in mid-air, as tall as Zhou Qing's altar.

"The Way is always nameless, simple and unadorned. Though small, nothing in the world can subdue it. If rulers and kings can uphold it, all things will naturally submit. Heaven and earth will be in harmony."

A thunderous celestial sound resounded, and Zhou Qing once again entered a state of enlightenment. In an instant, golden lotuses appeared in the void, radiating countless rays of light, flowing with five colors and shining with seven colors, and a Dao diagram emerged.

The main avenue inside the palace became very clear, with various orders and rules flowing and very active.

As he spoke, Zhou Chang also fell into a strange state of mind, as if he had sensed a faint, almost imperceptible energy in the world.

Several hours later, Zhou Chang woke up and exclaimed, "Just as that kid Zhou Wuji said, it feels like the suppression of the Great Dao no longer exists. My cultivation has even taken another step forward, and I'm about to break through to the Great Power realm."

"Hehe, although those old guys will also come over to preach, I will get there first."

"Zhou Qing, you are truly a prodigy of the Zhou family!"

Chapter 6 Breaking Through the Life Spring

When Zhou regained consciousness, he did discover some problems, and there were some things that Zhou Wuji had not mentioned.

Perhaps because the cultivation in the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm was something from a long time ago for Zhou Wuji, although he knew many things, they were already natural to him, so he didn't go into detail about these parts during the lecture.

Zhou Chang had encountered some minor problems in this part of his cultivation, so he remembered them more vividly and told Zhou Qing about them, which greatly benefited Zhou Qing.

Then came the question-and-answer phase. As time passed, the sun gradually set and the moon once again hung high in the sky.

From that day onward, for the next few days, the five elders of the family came to explain the cultivation of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm to Zhou Qing in detail. Each time, Zhou Qing could hear different ideas. By pooling their wisdom, Zhou Qing can now say that he is very familiar with the cultivation of the Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm. Once he has enough energy, he will surely be able to break through his realm one after another.

A few days after the sermon, the family finally finalized the resources to be sent. The first batch consisted of extremely rare medicinal liquids. These were made by a senior elder of the Zhou family, who personally extracted rare medicinal herbs from the Zhou family's treasury.

These medicinal materials have been carefully selected, so that they can be combined in pairs to produce better effects, while also preventing them from having too much or too strong energy that could lead to poor absorption.

The medicinal liquid is most helpful to cultivators in the early stages of the Bitter Sea, because at this time cultivators have too little divine power in their bodies. Even if a piece of source is placed in front of them, the refining speed is too slow. However, the medicinal liquid can be naturally absorbed by the body through the stomach and intestines, turning into streams of life essence to nourish the limbs and bones. Then, by circulating the profound technique, the absorption speed is even faster.

None of the medicinal ingredients used in this elixir are ordinary. Among them is the Nine-Leaf Phoenix Grass, which is said to grow only in pure land that has been stained with the blood of the Phoenix God.

There are also the fruits of the Jade Snow Lotus, which grow on snow-capped mountains tens of thousands of meters high and can only ripen after a thousand years without seeing sunlight.

There are also many rare and precious medicinal materials such as red jade fruit, jade flower, black jade lotus seed, and golden root block.

Zhou Qing opened the small jade bottle and immediately smelled a fragrant aroma that rushed into his internal organs, making him feel refreshed.

Without delay, he drank it down in one gulp. The divine liquid was sweet and fragrant, and it slid down his throat. Instantly, Zhou Qing felt as if he had entered the celestial realm, with a feeling of floating on air as if his feet were not touching the ground.

Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on the altar, circulating the "Supreme Yang Scripture" without moving. Streams of strange energy flowed to his limbs and bones, and his body instantly turned crimson. All the pores on his body opened up, and his blood flowed as if it had become a great river, making a rumbling sound.

His body immediately radiated a brilliant light, and a seven-colored light appeared below his navel, shining brightly and full of vitality, like a miniature star.

As he circulated the *Supreme Yang Scripture*, wondrous phenomena occurred within the Sea of ​​Bitterness. Above the seven-colored Sea of ​​Bitterness, divine light shone, first like stars, then like chaos, exhaling and spreading, emerging from nothingness, shrouded in mist.

The air was filled with swirling energy, and rays of divine light shone brightly, changing in countless ways without any fixed form.

Above the colorful ocean, the sky is ever-changing, sometimes filled with stars, sometimes desolate. Growth and decay, prosperity and destruction, repeat endlessly, in a continuous cycle.

This is a change that only appears in very profound scriptures, and most independent cultivators in the outside world have never been able to see this phenomenon.

In Zhou Qing's Bitter Sea, the waves surged and the endless ocean undulated, forming waves that swept across the sky. The sound of the waves was incessant, and combined with the various strange phenomena in the sky, this place seemed to have become a strange little world.

After seven days and seven nights of refining, Zhou Qing's Bitter Sea slowly grew from the size of two sesame seeds to the size of a soybean. At this point, fifteen divine patterns had appeared, which should have been enough to start refining the weapon. However, Zhou Qing did not stop and continued to refine the vast energy within his body.

Another month passed, and the Bitter Sea grew from the size of a soybean to the size of a goose egg. It now contained forty divine runes, which, if he wished, could instantly fly out of the Bitter Sea, powerful enough to crush rocks and break trees.

Two more months passed. During this time, several elders sent over several bottles of medicinal liquid. Zhou Qing remained seated cross-legged on the altar in the palace, like a divine monk in enlightenment, silent and still, with only the roar of the immense waves echoing within the palace. Zhou Qing's sea of ​​suffering had slowly grown from the size of a goose egg to the size of a lychee, and the divine patterns within his body had reached ninety-nine.

At this moment, his sea of ​​bitterness surged like a spring, with bubbles constantly rising from the central ripples, bursting to form a hazy, colorful mist. This was a sign that he was about to break through to the Life Spring.

By this time, the family had replaced the medicinal liquid with pure source energy. When the jade box containing the source energy was opened, a pure and powerful surge of life essence immediately rushed out. This source energy was only the size of a fist, yet it was crystal clear, with flowing colorful mist, dazzling and radiant.

In just one month, Zhou Qing completely absorbed the source. His sea of ​​bitterness was now as big as half a fist. At the same time, the colorful mist formed by the bursting bubbles in the sea of ​​bitterness no longer lingered, but shot into the sky. The magnificent clouds were almost turning into liquid. The bubbles were constantly surging, and the sound of waves was continuous. His whole body was shrouded in seven-colored light.

Zhou Qing did not stop, but continued to circulate his profound techniques. He did not encounter any bottlenecks at this step. At this moment, Zhou Qing's body seemed to become a seven-colored sun, radiating brilliant light. His body was like a divine jade carving, with a nearly transparent surface that shimmered with luster. His bones were as white as jade, and his internal organs were flawless.

"boom"

A powerful surge of divine energy erupted from Zhou Qing's body, his life spring gushed forth, and the source of divine power flowed forth. The entire palace trembled slightly, and seven-colored light enveloped his entire body, making him appear like a son of a god.

"I've broken through to the Life Spring. The source of divine power is flowing out in a gurgling stream. The divine light gushing from the Life Spring can transform into a divine rainbow that envelops me. Now I can finally fly through the sky and escape into the earth, and use all sorts of profound techniques."

The Supreme Yang Scripture is not only a method of cultivation, but also contains many powerful techniques for attacking and killing. However, these techniques could not be cultivated before. Only after one has attained the Life Spring and the source of divine power is continuous can one unleash the profound techniques within.

“However, according to my father, after arriving at the Spring of Life, he would check my combat abilities every now and then to see if they had improved. As for how he would check, he said it would be through sparring, but in reality, it was just getting beaten up.” Zhou Qing’s heart was filled with unease.

"Fortunately, my physique has also changed somewhat, and some of my abilities can finally be displayed. Hehe, invulnerability to all magic, this thing is quite interesting."

Chapter 7 The Little Fairy of Yaochi

A seven-colored divine rainbow covered Zhou Qing's body, and the divine power source in the Sea of ​​Bitterness flowed gurglingly, allowing this divine rainbow to last for a long time.

He moved with incredible speed, transforming into a divine rainbow that flew out of the palace, leaving a trail of colorful light in the sky.

On this small island in the sky, Zhou Qing rode the divine rainbow, moving at lightning speed, like a lightning bolt flashing by, and flew around the island several times.

After a while, a flash of light appeared, and the divine rainbow slowly descended in front of the palace gate, its light gradually dissipating.

"Not bad, not bad at all. So this is what flying feels like. Cultivation is truly wondrous," Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared on the distant horizon. Celestial music rang out, and nine mythical beasts resembling phoenixes pulled a jade chariot shrouded in rosy light as they flew in. The nine beasts rode the clouds and mist, making a rumbling sound.

The jade carriage was made of a blue ancient jade, crystal clear, with rays of clear light shining from all around.

Melodious music drifted in from afar, growing louder as countless crystalline petals appeared out of thin air, shimmering with fluorescent light. A dozen women surrounded the jade carriage, flying through the air with graceful, ethereal movements, their long sleeves billowing, exuding otherworldly elegance.

A dozen women, dressed in white as snow, were all pure and ethereal, like orchids in a secluded valley. Their skin was like solidified cream, their eyes like autumn water, their legs long and their figures graceful, as if fairies had descended to earth.

Zhou Qing suddenly became interested in this. Judging from the direction they were flying, they were most likely heading to the small island in the sky where the Zhou family was receiving distinguished guests.

Zhou Qing was curious about who these people were and what they had come to the Zhou family for. He had just broken through to a higher realm and was in a state of great excitement, so he decided to go and see for himself.

Although he was kept in the shadows, the important thing was to conceal his true physique. In fact, quite a few people knew about his birth, after all, he was the son of the Zhou family's Holy Lord. Various forces in the outside world could find out some information about him, just like the Zhou family could also get the news when other families' divine bodies were born. What was really being kept in the dark was actually just the rogue cultivators in the outside world.

Zhou Qing transformed into a divine rainbow once more, leaving the waterfalls and mountains on the island in the air far behind in the blink of an eye, his speed was extremely fast.

One after another, small islands in the sky swept past him, and in no time, he had landed on the island where he was to receive his distinguished guests. The mist was hazy, and the clouds were rolling and swirling. The island was lush with vegetation, and streams were babbling. A large number of magnolia trees were planted on it, and when a breeze blew, some of the pure white flowers danced in the wind, and the fragrance of the flowers wafted through the air.

At the center is a continuous cluster of buildings, palaces and pavilions, all carved from ancient jade, with a hazy, shimmering sheen on their surfaces.

As Zhou Qing walked behind the buildings, he heard a pleasant sound coming from inside the main hall as he approached it.

"What have you all thought about it? Exchanging this water from the Immortal Pool for a single Cangmang Lily of the Valley is a very suitable offer for both of us."

Zhou Qing walked in through the back door and immediately saw his father and two elders. It seemed that the guests opposite him were not ordinary distinguished guests.

He glanced around the hall and quickly spotted two people opposite Zhou Wuji—more precisely, a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties and a…

little girl.

At this moment, one of the elders noticed him; it was Zhou Chang. He then quietly called Zhou Qing to his side.

Only then did Zhou Qing carefully observe the two people opposite him. The young woman had a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a charming posture. She had a red mole between her eyebrows, and her skin had a crystalline luster.

Beside her was a little girl, wearing a veil, who looked no more than four or five years old, yet she was ethereal and almost otherworldly, with smooth and delicate skin, rosy and white, her whole being hazy and indistinct, as if veiled by moonlight, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, holy and distant.

“We can exchange them, but we’ve heard that Yaochi once obtained a rare and exotic blood essence. We hope to exchange a portion of it for another rare medicinal herb,” Zhou Wuji said. His black hair cascaded down his back, his robes fluttered, and he possessed an outstanding and holy aura, with a layer of golden light flowing around his body, like a blazing sun.

"Yes." The young woman's red lips moved slightly, her voice soft and gentle, like a gentle breeze. At the same time, she glanced at Zhou Qing, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

However, Zhou Qing did not notice that he was observing the little girl opposite him. Her physique was somewhat special, seemingly not a special physique, but also not an ordinary one. Her temperament was very unique, giving people a hazy and unapproachable feeling.

Before long, the two sides had reached an agreement. Before the two people on the other side left, the young woman seemed to say something to the little girl. As a result, the little girl glanced at Zhou Qing with a calm and unwavering expression, making it impossible to guess her thoughts.

"Qing'er, why did you come here?" After the jade carriage pulled by the nine-headed phoenix flew away, Zhou Wuji looked at Zhou Qing and asked with a frown.

"I saw some unusual people come to the family, so I came out of curiosity," Zhou Qing replied.

Zhou Wuji took a closer look and exclaimed in surprise, "Has he broken through to the Life Spring? He can already ride the rainbow between the islands on his own?"

"It really is like that, it's really fast."

"It's only been a little over four months. It took me a year to break through back then."

Both elders showed joy and appeared very happy.

"Are these people from Yaochi?" Zhou Qing asked.

“That’s right. We’ve come to exchange some things. Some of the rare medicinal herbs are hard to find. Our tribe has them, but they don’t.”

"I guess they want to refine a batch of precious elixir. It's one of their secret recipes that can greatly stimulate a child's potential, essentially transforming them completely."

"I guess it's prepared for that little girl next to her. If I'm not mistaken, that little girl should be the future Holy Maiden of Yaochi," Zhou Wuji said with a smile, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"However, we also have a secret recipe in our family. Our ancestor obtained it by chance. It seems to come from a very long time ago. The recipe says that it was a baptism held when children in that era were five years old. It can temper the body and increase potential."

"In a few months, when you turn five, we can hold the ceremony."

Zhou Qing was somewhat surprised after hearing this. He hadn't expected that the little girl would be the future Holy Maiden of Yaochi. No wonder she had such an extraordinary temperament and a feeling of being close to an immortal.

As for the baptism, there was nothing surprising about it. Although their family was not founded by the Great Emperor, they had existed for nearly 100,000 years and could be considered an ancient family. The family would not lack recipes to increase potential.

“Speaking of which, you should call that fairy from Yaochi your aunt. She was your mother’s closest sister when she was in Yaochi,” Zhou Wuji said with a smile.

Zhou Qing was taken aback again. He had no idea that his mother was from Yaochi. Since ancient times, the fairies of Yaochi rarely married outside the palace, so his mother was most likely not a saintess. But his father was indeed quite capable to have managed to marry her.

I sent you a private message at 9 a.m. this morning. Thank you all for your support. Every collection you make is my motivation to keep going.

Chapter 8 Dao Mark

When Zhou Qing returned, the Supreme Elders gave him an ancient book, which did not contain cultivation methods, but rather explained Dao patterns.

Dao patterns are said to have been created by ancient powerful beings who comprehended the laws of heaven and earth, and after imprinting them, they formed individual Dao patterns.
