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

Zhou Qing stared at it for a long time, and many doubts arose in his mind.

Although there was no danger, he still didn't dare to stare down for long and quickly looked away.

"There doesn't seem to be any crisis at the moment, and we don't know whether that thing is dead or alive."

Zhou Qing thought about it for a long time and finally decided that there was no need to be too nervous at the moment, because even if it were a living Holy Spirit, he could not escape it.

Even if he hasn't truly reached full maturity, he's still not someone Zhou Qing can handle right now.

Moreover, Zhou Qing discovered that the lake formed by the convergence of the essence of heaven and earth showed no signs of being absorbed. Whether it was dead or alive, it certainly couldn't affect the outside world at the moment.

So Zhou Qing decided to first wander around the abyss, where the most opportunities would appear. He would look for anything good first, and then explore the area later.

This abyss was a hundred feet in diameter. Zhou Qing circled the abyss, exploring it from the inside out, trying not to miss any treasures.

"Another divine source liquid!"

This is an extremely special little pool because its light is very soft, like starlight or moonlight, both gentle and hazy.

"It's actually this kind of divine source! This is almost the most suitable divine source for self-sealing." Zhou Qing was pleasantly surprised.

Although this divine source was not described in detail in the Book of Origins, it was recorded in the Zhou family's ancient books, so Zhou Qing quickly recalled the information about it.

There are many kinds of divine sources in the world, dozens of them, each with different but extraordinary effects.

The divine source commonly referred to is one that has become luminous, with a dazzling light that is almost impossible to look directly at.

This divine source, whose light resembles starlight and moonlight, is extremely rare. Although it possesses the same sacredness and peace, its essence is gentler, making it most effective for sealing living beings without causing harm to their bodies over a long period of time.

In ancient times, Princess Shencan was pierced through the heart by an unparalleled blood spear, and she was about to perish. However, she was sealed in such a source, and she still survived millions of years later. This shows how effective this type of divine source seal is.

Even the strongest foundation of the Northern Plains royal family was sealed with this divine source.

After collecting the divine source liquid, Zhou Qing continued his exploration. Soon, he discovered two more medicinal king plants in a cave.

"This place is truly a treasure trove! I've only just..."

"Having arrived so recently and barely explored this little world, I've already discovered so many rare treasures."

Since there were no other living beings here, and no one was competing with Zhou Qing, he didn't panic and still took out a new jade artifact to collect the two medicinal kings.

Above the cave, every now and then, drops of earth milk would fall down, nourishing the two medicinal plants.

"One plant can extend one's life by four hundred years. Apart from the immortal medicine, only a few other spiritual plants can surpass it."

Zhou Qing was very satisfied. Every time this thing appeared, it would cause a bloodbath and kill many powerful figures.

Moreover, this king of herbs cannot be cultivated simply by talking about it.

It requires extremely stringent conditions, needing to be continuously nourished with the earth's spiritual milk for over 80,000 years, before it can be called the King of Medicines.

Even if a medicinal herb is not picked by anyone during its growth, it may not necessarily grow to this age. It may wither in fifty or sixty thousand years, or thirty or forty thousand years.

To grow to over 80,000 years old, one must reside in an area with extremely rich spiritual energy, and this area must possess the earth's spiritual roots, capable of producing earth milk. Only in such an environment can a Medicine King be born.

Moreover, once a medicinal king grows to the age of 80,000 or 90,000 years, it has reached its limit and it is basically impossible for it to exceed 100,000 years. In the end, it will return to dust.

Except for the elixir of immortality, which can exist in the world forever and never wither, other medicinal herbs will eventually wither and die.

"It must be sealed off properly; if it withers prematurely, the loss will be too great."

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing immediately added more than a dozen layers of seals to the outer layer, and also added more than a dozen layers of seals to the previous Divine Source Liquid.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing continued to expand outwards in a circular trajectory, harvesting piles of divine materials and immortal herbs, including more than a dozen king herbs, dozens of small king herbs, and countless spiritual herbs under 50,000 years old.

There are also several sets of materials of saint-level quality, various kinds of Nine Heavens Divine Jade, and other rare minerals, too numerous to count.

"I am too rich. If people knew about all these things I have, I would be an enemy of the world. They might even use their resources to kill me. This is more than the accumulation of many holy land families over hundreds of thousands of years."

Zhou Qing explored only a few miles around this abyss and made such a discovery. In the end, he had to take out the Mountain and River Map and open the small world inside it to put all these things into it.

"Now, let's go to the center and take a look. There hasn't been any danger for so long, so there's no need to worry too much."

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he walked towards the abyss in the center.

The nine-aperture stone figure, formed from phoenix blood and crimson gold, floated in the air above the abyss, not underground.

After Zhou Qing reached the edge, he carefully sensed the main road and discovered that there seemed to be no no-fly rule here.

So he immediately flew down, not very fast, for fear that the Holy Spirit might suddenly come to life and attack him.

However, Zhou Qing's worries did not come true. Even after he flew to the lake where the essence of heaven and earth gathered, and even flew to the front of the Nine-Aperture Stone Man, he did not make any unexpected discoveries.

"It's empty, it's completely empty!"

Zhou Qing slowly probed with his divine sense.

Upon discovering this truth, I could hardly contain my emotions.

"Only an empty shell remains, and the inside is completely hollow?"

Zhou Qing carefully explored with his divine sense and finally determined that it was a nine-aperture stone man who was now just a shell.

Zhou Qing examined every part of the place inch by inch and found that there was still a trace of Daoist charm inside. Although it was extremely weak, Zhou Qing still managed to detect it.

Zhou Qing frowned and muttered to himself, "This doesn't seem to be the Dao of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold. It doesn't have that true meaning of being reborn from Nirvana. Was this left behind by another being?"

Zhou Qing scanned the body several times with his divine sense and found that the body was very complete. Moreover, the details were quite good, both on the outside and inside. If it weren't for the fact that the inside was empty, Zhou Qing would almost have thought that it was a being born at the Great Perfection stage.

"It doesn't look like the inside was forcibly dug out; it looks like it was cut off by itself. Who on earth has such courage?"

"It couldn't have passed away peacefully and then turned back into immortal gold, could it? Even if that were the case, the inside shouldn't be empty."

Looking at the nine-aperture stone figure, Zhou Qing had a vague idea.

"Could this be the work of some emperor-level figure?"

With Zhou Qing's knowledge, although he couldn't guess too much, he did learn some things.

This body was once complete, but it later severed its own flesh, and its true form disappeared without a trace.

"Could it be that someone once lived a new life here by becoming a Holy Spirit?"

"Could it be that the Feathered Emperor received some inspiration here?"

Zhou Qing guessed.

As for why he didn't consider that this might be an attempt by the Feathered Emperor, it was because, in his perception, the time that had existed here was quite ancient.

The lake wasn't growing very fast, because what it contained was the Nine Apertures Spiritual Liquid, the essence of the Great Dao, condensing the laws of heaven and earth, and forming the inner skeleton of the stone man.

Moreover, this is no ordinary stone spirit; it is the divine liquid that will form the immortal golden spirit, which is truly defying the heavens.

Although it cannot be used to prolong life, it is a priceless treasure for young children.

A single drop of spiritual liquid falling into a bucket of water can cleanse a child's marrow and strengthen their bones, elevating a person's aptitude to an extremely terrifying level.

According to Zhou Qing's assessment, it might have taken millions of years for the water to accumulate into such a lake!

Am I considered a child?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing was a little envious. If he couldn't make use of such a divine object, Zhou Qing's mentality would explode.

This stuff is too heaven-defying. It's a divine liquid that forms the divine liquid of the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit. Its effects far surpass those of ordinary Nine Aperture Spirit-Opening Divine Liquid. If Zhou Qing had been able to build his foundation with this stuff when he was young, his current cultivation level would definitely be more than just the Perfection of the Four Great Extremes.

"Never mind, this lake is so big. Even if it doesn't work as well as it does for a five or six-year-old child, it won't be as useless as it is for an adult."

Zhou Qing couldn't resist any longer and fell directly into the lake, using his divine power to quietly move the Nine-Aperture Stone Man to a different position.

“Brother Holy Spirit, since you are no longer here, these things shouldn’t be wasted like this. I love helping others, so I’ll take care of them for you. Please don’t mind.”

After saying that, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the original position of the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Holy Spirit body and immediately began to receive the baptism.

"S"

As soon as Zhou Qing absorbed a bit of the divine liquid, he immediately felt a sharp pain. His bones cracked and popped all over his body, and blurry fragments of laws were absorbed into his body along with the divine liquid.

This is an extremely dramatic transformation, far surpassing the medicinal bath Zhou Qing had used when he was five years old.

Chapter 57 Chaotic Stone Mountain, Immortal Materials for Forging Weapons

Zhou Qing's bones and internal organs were undergoing this mythical baptism, and every inch of his flesh and blood was shimmering with a crystal-clear radiance, making him look clear and majestic, standing there like a god.

He activated his profound magic, transforming himself into a black hole, which immediately emitted a powerful devouring force.

This is a devouring method he comprehended after studying the incomplete scroll of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. This method is more powerful than the normal body's absorption, allowing him to absorb more spiritual liquid, and the conversion speed is also very fast.

His internal organs resonated like heavenly music, and his bones broke and reformed inch by inch. This was a violent transformation that would elevate his aptitude to a terrifying level.

It not only enhances physical strength, but also the body's affinity for various forces in the world, and can even improve one's Dao perception and temper the primordial spirit, thus comprehensively improving a person's aptitude without any omissions.

Even Qi Luo, a half-saint from the Heavenly Village, was incredibly excited upon seeing ordinary Nine-Aperture Spirit-Connecting Divine Liquid, let alone this kind of Spirit-Connecting Divine Liquid that could form Immortal Gold.

It may not prolong life or directly increase magical power, but in terms of foundation building, it is no worse than any immortal elixir.

In this state of both pain and pleasure, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged in the lake for a month.

Despite Zhou Qing's continuous absorption of the divine liquid through the black hole, the lake remained largely unchanged, or rather, its changes were imperceptible to the naked eye.

Because a single drop of the spiritual liquid mixed into a bucket of water is enough to cleanse the marrow and strengthen the bones of a young child, and it only needs to be done once a month, using only one drop per month.

Although Zhou Qing didn't need to conserve energy, he still didn't absorb much. Even after turning into a black hole to increase his capacity, he only absorbed a tiny fraction of it.

When he stopped, a pile of impurities appeared on the spot, including broken bones and dry, cracked skin, which Zhou Qing had shed himself.

With a wave of his hand, a divine fire flew out and burned fiercely, burning away all the impurities.

At this moment, every inch of his flesh and blood was crystal clear and spotless, and his body was filled with Daoist essence, like a seven-colored glass lamp.

Strands of divine silk flowed from between his brows, hanging down and making him appear like a god-king.

Every gesture he made resonated with the sound of the Dao.

He pressed lightly in the void, and the space collapsed instantly.

"His physical body is comparable to that of a great power," Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

This was within his expectations. This transformation was terrifying, giving him the feeling that he could grasp the entire world in his palm with a single hand.

However, the change in physical strength is only one of the most easily visible aspects. Many other areas have also been greatly improved, such as the affinity for the essence of the sun, the essence of the moon, and the five elements, all of which far exceed those of the past.

He had never seen the Sun Body or the Moon Body, but he felt that although his affinity for the Sun and Moon was not as great as those two constitutions, it was not much different.

If a body type is described using a polygon, some people might use a pentagon, some a hexagon, and some might even use a polygon with more than ten sides. This is because people may have different classifications of their body types.

Physical constitution can be broadly described using the physical body and...
