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

He wasn't worried about any danger. First, he was in the capital of the Immortal Dynasty, where fighting was unlikely to occur. Second, he had just arrived and hadn't made any enemies, so this couldn't be a trap set by someone else.

So Zhou Qing immediately went to another jade table in the room and sat down.

"Who are you?" he asked, puzzled.

"I am the owner of this Wangyu Tower. You can call me Dao Qingling," the girl said with a light laugh, her hair fluttering gently.

"Dao Qingling?" Zhou Qing murmured to himself, then suddenly came to his senses: "Are you a member of the Divine Continent royal family?"

On the way here, he heard his uncle Zhou Yun talk about the Shenzhou Dynasty. If he remembered correctly, the royal family of this dynasty seemed to have this surname.

“That’s right, my young lady is the seventh princess of the Divine Continent Dynasty. She is incredibly talented and has unparalleled natural abilities. She is deeply favored by His Majesty.” Dao Qingling didn’t speak, but the maid next to her said proudly.

"Xiaoyu, you don't need to praise me like that anymore. It makes the guests feel that you are impolite," Dao Qingling said helplessly.

"Why not? Miss, you entered the Dragon Transformation Realm at the age of 10, ranking among the top in the entire Central Continent. That's a fact, and I'm not making it up." The maid pouted, somewhat unwilling.

It's clear that the princess and her maid have a very good relationship. She doesn't even mind the maid's backtalk and doesn't address her as "Your Highness." It's as if the two are very close sisters.

“Princess Qingling, you can call me Zhou Qing.” After the two finished speaking, Zhou Qing also spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Dao Qingling's eyes seemed to flicker, as if she had thought of something.

“Xiaoyu, the young master in front of you is no less than me, and you could even say he’s much better. Aren’t you just making yourself a laughingstock?” Dao Qingling shook her head and said.

"What?" The maid was astonished. She had been by her mistress's side for so long and had never seen a peer who was better than her.

Princess Qingling, I wonder why you invited me here?

"What's the matter?" Zhou Qing seized the opportunity to ask.

“It’s nothing important, but aren’t you curious about the origin of the spiritual spring in this Rain-Viewing Pavilion?” Dao Qingling said softly, her voice very pleasant.

"Oh? I am indeed very curious about that." Zhou Qing also became somewhat interested.

Dao Qingling stretched out her crystal-clear jade fingers to gather her long hair, her eyes sparkling with a divine light that seemed capable of captivating all beings, and she chuckled softly.

"This spring water is related to the supreme imperial weapon of my Divine Continent Dynasty. It has been by its side for many years and has been imbued with extremely faint Daoist charm. Moreover, the spring water is inexhaustible."

"If one is a genius with exceptional talent, one can see a scene of continuous rain in the water, which is the true meaning of the Rain-Viewing Tower."

"Several years ago, I built this building in the city. Anyone who can gain some insight from it will be detected by the magic array."

"Inviting you here is not to ask you to do anything, but simply to get to know each other and discuss the Dao. This will benefit both of us."

Dao Qingling spoke eloquently, her delicate eyebrows arched, every smile and frown captivating the heart.

"Oh? I wonder who else besides me has had the honor of being invited by the princess?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

"Among the most famous prodigies in Zhongzhou today, Xu Zixuan with the Feathered Body has come, Wang Chongxiao with the Underworld Body has come, Xia Yiming, the prince of Great Xia, and Shen Li, the fifth prince of Jiuli, have also come," Dao Qingling said calmly.

Zhou Qing nodded. Most of them were people he knew, except for the last one who was a bit of a stranger.

“Shen Li.” Zhou Qing thought for a moment, and a memory suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"It's him."

Zhou Qing remembered that this person seemed to be the strongest prodigy of the Jiuli Dynasty in this generation, and was given unlimited hope by the Jiuli Dynasty, with a level of importance far exceeding that of Yue Ling.

Not only because he was a man, but also because his cultivation speed was extremely fast, ranking him among the top of the younger generation in the entire Beidou system.

Among all the human prodigies in Beidou, Zhonghuang was the first to sever his Dao, but he was an ancient person and not considered a contemporary prodigy.

The second is Nan Yao, a true contemporary prodigy who also successfully severed his Dao three months after Zhong Huang.

The third is Shen Li, who is also a contemporary prodigy. He started to break through the Dao a few days after Nan Yao. In terms of cultivation talent, he is among the top contemporary prodigies in Beidou.

Unfortunately, he failed at the hurdle of severing the Dao, passing away on the Dao Platform, his decades of cultivation vanishing in an instant.

The Path of Severance is a very special stage. It is full of variables and very complex. Talent and aptitude may not be helpful, and may even become obstacles.

In ancient times, there were several extraordinary talents who were said to be comparable to, or even surpass, the young emperors of past dynasties, but they all perished at this hurdle, their names etched in history and unforgettable to future generations.

Moreover, according to legend, some ancient emperors almost perished at this hurdle in their youth.

This hurdle is not something that can be overcome simply by having strong natural talent; it places even greater emphasis on a person's character and their original intention in cultivating the Tao.

"I wonder if Princess Qingling has ever perceived the scene in the spring?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

"Of course I've seen them, and more than one picture," Dao Qingling said with a smile, her hair fluttering slightly.

"Looking at the rain is just the most superficial aspect, but being able to see this image basically means that a person has the potential to become a great being."

"The second image is rain vapor turning into clouds, representing a natural cycle. If you can see this, it means that a person has the potential to break through the Dao."

"The third picture is the true path of our ancestors, one step at a time. If one can see and complete five steps, it means that one has the potential to attain enlightenment."

It was as if a gentle spring breeze had swept by; the sound was incredibly soft and melodious, like heavenly music.

Dao Qingling looked at Zhou Qing, smiled sweetly, her beauty captivating, and said, "I wonder where you are in the book, young master? I've read to the very end."

“What a coincidence, I also saw the whole thing.” Zhou Qing’s lips curled up slightly.

She had just said she wouldn't let the maids praise her, but now her last sentence was full of pride. She never expected that someone would try to show off in front of her, Zhou Qing. He had something to say about this.

Chapter 85 Discussion

Dao Qingling's black hair fluttered, each strand sparkling, and her eyes were like black gemstones. Her face was veiled, but a smile appeared in her eyes as she said, "Then Qingling will have a good discussion with you, young master, about the natural Dao of our ancestors."

After speaking, Dao Qingling immediately raised her fair wrist and gently moved it in the void, evolving her own Great Dao.

At this moment, she was so ethereal. Although she was right in front of Zhou Qing, she seemed to have transformed into nature itself, her fairy-like beauty becoming more and more elusive and hazy.

As her fair arms moved through the void, a Dao flowed and evolved within it.

At the junction of the two jade tables, in the very center of the room, some strange changes occurred, and various unusual phenomena appeared. A misty fog swirled around, as if a world was evolving, where the principles and laws of heaven and earth intertwined, changing in countless ways.

In this primordial world that has evolved, a vibrant scene of life has emerged, with natural seeds sprouting from the soil and exuding a touch of green.

"crash"

A heavy rain began to fall, and dark clouds appeared in the sky, pressing down, with streaks of lightning flashing within them.

Suddenly, time seemed to blur and speed up. Vines rose from the ground and stretched into the air, lush and green, with buds slowly blooming at the top, their petals crystal clear. The place seemed to have become a sea of ​​vines.

"Impressive, truly impressive! This one move alone is enough to overwhelm many ordinary holy sons and daughters," Zhou Qing exclaimed, praising him outright, which brought a clear smile to the face of the maid beside him.

He never hesitates to praise others, and he always treats truly capable people with great respect.

This strange phenomenon before us is not something that can be evolved at will. It is the evolution of one's Great Dao, which requires profound understanding of the Dao to manifest.

This is about discussing the Dao, not just daydreaming. It's not about having a wild imagination or being able to create something as outrageous as you can imagine. Every drop of rain, every vine, every cloud is a trace of the Dao, composed of the Dao patterns as understood by a person.

Dao patterns are the embodiment of the Great Dao. They can be formed by cultivators imitating the rules of heaven and earth, or they can be formed by the interweaving of heaven and earth in nature. They represent a certain concept between heaven and earth and contain certain rules.

Why do cultivators above the Four Extremes always have countless Dao patterns appear in their hands or spread in the void when they make a move? It's because the power of heaven and earth, the power of the Great Dao, is manifested through these Dao patterns.

To evolve a drop of rain from Dao patterns, one must comprehend the order and rules of rain in the world, and then use one's own understanding to present them in the world in the form of Dao patterns.

The more Dao patterns one has, the broader one's understanding of the concept; the more complex the Dao patterns, the deeper one's understanding of the concept.

The scene before him was so vivid and lifelike, it seemed so real, that it required a very high level of Dao. With just this one move, Zhou Qing could tell that the person in front of him possessed at least the Six Forbidden Realms, which made him exclaim in admiration.

However, just when Zhou Qing thought it would probably end here, this...

But the scene changed again.

This world shrank rapidly, revealing more scenes. In other parts of this world, there were oceans of grass, oceans of trees, oceans of flowers, oceans of mountains, and even real oceans and rivers.

This world has wind, rain, snow, and all sorts of scenery.

However, what shocked Zhou Qing even more was that there were birds, beasts, insects and fish in this world. Although everything that appeared after his gaze was raised was obviously somewhat stiff, it still showed something terrifying.

The girl before him, who seemed like a dream and was extremely ethereal, must have reached the Eighth Forbidden Realm, and at the very top of it, not much weaker than Zhou Qing.

This is truly terrifying. Take Yi Tianwu from the Ziwei Star Domain, for example. She is known as the number one goddess of Ziwei, but she only reached the seventh level of the seventh level of the second level of the game. You can imagine how difficult it is to enter the eighth level.

Zhou Qing was not surprised that Wang Teng was able to enter, because Wang Teng's strength, luck, and talent were indeed not much worse than the young emperor. Zhou Qing could understand that.

Even if the still unknown Southern Demon Qi Lin and Xi Mo Jue You Qing also had the Eight Forbidden Rules, Zhou Qing could understand it, but now Zhou Qing was a little confused.

Although not all the geniuses in the original work went to the Qishi Mansion, for example, Shen Li did not go and never became famous until he failed to achieve his Dao and passed away. However, the appearance of such an amazing genius in front of Zhou Qing still stirred up some waves in his heart.

Was this person truly not described at all in the original work? Or was there actually a few lines describing him, but he overlooked him because he didn't think about it deeply enough? These questions puzzled Zhou Qing.

This girl, who seemed like an immortal being, had reached an incredibly high level of understanding of the natural way.

Although Zhou Qing could roughly guess that the imperial scripture of this dynasty must have a deep connection with the Great Dao of Nature, the current situation indicated that her understanding of the ancestral imperial scripture must have reached an incredible level.

At this moment, as the field of vision rapidly ascended, this world gradually shrank, and slowly, a huge hand, as white as mutton fat jade, stretched out into the endless void, holding this world in its palm.

These jade-like fingers were crystal clear. With a slight touch, they made this miniature world spin in the palm of the hand, gradually transforming into a star.

"How does Young Master feel? Qingling's Natural Dao has already been revealed. Now, shouldn't Qingling also witness Young Master's Natural Dao?" Dao Qingling chuckled softly, like the gentle cry of a divine phoenix. Her eyes shone with brilliance, and as her hair swayed, she seemed capable of captivating all beings.

At this moment, Zhou Qing sensed something was wrong and sighed inwardly. This was probably the first time he would lose to someone in a debate on the Dao.

It's not that he doesn't understand the Great Dao of Nature, but it's not his fundamental Dao after all; it's just one of the Daos he's comprehended. Meanwhile, the Great Emperors and their ancestors cultivated the Great Dao of Nature. Although he had also gained many insights in the spiritual spring before, he only comprehended it once. How could that compare to others' daily and nightly contemplation?

As Zhou Qing raised his hand, he also gently moved it in the void, evolving the Great Dao.

Unlike Dao Qingling, he initially evolved into a star, but it fell into absolute silence. Everything on this star was gray, and the rocks were completely sanded, turning into countless gray grains of sand.

"Rumble"

The earth began to tremble, and even the lifeless star began to change.

Springs began to gush forth from the earth, gray sand began to solidify into rocks, and soon countless green grasses grew on the ground, and the breath of life began to appear on this star.

"Whoa"

As rain falls, rivers, lakes, and oceans appear on this star.

The earth's tectonic plates began to move, rumbling and creating countless mountains and valleys.

Green plants began to grow rapidly, and grasslands, wastelands, and forests appeared.

At the same time, natural disasters also occurred on this star, making it seem as if it had truly become a star of life.

However, there were no living beings present.

"Young Master's Natural Dao is truly remarkable. Among all the geniuses who have come here, his Natural Dao is absolutely number one."

Dao Qingling praised him, her face showing no sign of pretense, but rather a completely genuine expression of her feelings.
