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

As time went by, one student after another arrived, creating a lively atmosphere as everyone greeted each other.

On the other side of the starry sky, the dozen or so people there were very close. Everything from the past was buried in their memories, and only they remembered each other.

A moment later, an elder of the Zhou family arrived on a divine rainbow, landed at the very front, sat cross-legged in mid-air, and began to preach.

There are no specific methods of cultivation, but rather the popularization of common knowledge about cultivation, and the instilling in them various experiences and insights in cultivation.

This is very important to them. Cultivation is a difficult process; it's not something you can easily embark on just by hearing a few wise words.

It's not just that some of the profound terminology is difficult to understand; there are also some linguistic issues. It takes time to adapt so that one doesn't misunderstand the meaning of a scripture. Otherwise, if one were to actually practice, achieving nothing would be a minor matter; if physical problems arose, it would be too late for regrets.

"boom"

Deep within the archipelago, a small island emitted a thunderous sound that reverberated throughout the heavens and earth, and a sacred aura spread for hundreds of miles.

At that moment, one after another, chains of divine order shot out from the island and soared into the sky, as if they were forged from various kinds of celestial metals, each one different in color.

Everyone in the Zhou family could clearly see that the dazzling divine chains were clearly orders and divine laws!

Each one contains countless principles, resonating with the Great Dao and echoing throughout the heavens.

The great Dao of the entire world seemed to be drawn over, and all kinds of divine power transformed into boundless light, shining brightly, engulfing heaven and earth, and surging forth.

"Disperse!"

A shout came from the island, its sound reverberating throughout the heavens and earth.

The moment this word was uttered, it contained an incomparably mysterious power; the words became law, and all light vanished instantly.

Following that, one after another, the ranks representing different laws and composed of different Great Daos...

One by one, the chains of the order of gods were taken back, and the strange phenomenon disappeared.

"Who is cultivating?" Pang Bo was dumbfounded. Even though he did not cultivate and could not feel the surge of the Great Dao between heaven and earth, he still felt a sense of terror just by looking at this strange phenomenon.

The others were also shocked, and Ye Fan was filled with curiosity, eager to know whose island it was.

Based on what he had learned over the past month, there was a divine city in the Zhou family that would never fall, floating in the deepest part of the city and surrounded by a series of small islands in the sky.

Those who can live deep within the archipelago are among the most powerful people in the Zhou family, and it is said that each of them is a great being who has lived for at least a thousand years.

It is unknown which powerful member of the Zhou family caused this strange phenomenon, which has led to changes in an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

The Zhou family elder who was preaching smiled slightly and shouted, "Snap out of it!"

The shout was like a thunderclap, instantly drawing everyone's attention back to the crowd.

The Zhou family elder smiled slightly and said, "That is the cultivation ground of my Zhou family's divine lord. Once you embark on the path of cultivation, you will understand how vast that power is."

"Although you have been stimulated by the forbidden land of the ancient wilderness and have gained the aptitude for cultivation, it will still take a long time to reach that level. Some people may not even reach that level before they die."

"However, there is indeed one among you with an extraordinary physique who may break through to the Great Power level in less than twenty years."

At this point, the Zhou family elder glanced at the second prayer mat, his meaning clear: this sentence was referring to this person.

Ye Fan sat calmly without making any movement; he was not surprised.

Over the past month, his physical condition had become known to the upper echelons of the Zhou family; to this Zhou family elder, his physical condition was no secret.

When the Ancient Sacred Body was first learned about, a group of powerful figures frowned, unsure of what to do, because they didn't know if they could cultivate it, and were quite conflicted.

However, the elder in charge of "measuring bones" and "measuring spirit" laughed out loud after seeing everyone's expressions, and then said: "This is a flawless holy body, with gold rising from the sea of ​​suffering, surging waves, abundant blood essence, and innate essence in the wheel of life that is extremely abundant. It is the peerless holy body from before the ancient times."

Upon hearing this, the worries of the group of powerful beings instantly turned into joy, and they made the same decision.

Train them! Train them thoroughly!

Without any powerful forces at their disposal, these flawless holy bodies would be nothing but a bunch of fools if left untrained. But they are not that kind of fools.

The scarcity of geniuses over the years has made the Zhou family eager for every talented individual. Moreover, the Zhou family is not lacking in cultivation resources and has the capacity to nurture multiple prodigies.

Although Ye Fan was unaware of the Zhou family's superiors' considerations, he knew that he was highly valued and was someone they would focus on cultivating in the future.

He was not averse to this; in fact, he felt quite at ease with it.

He had been to the Zhou family's library and read some books that were not classified as highly confidential and only provided a rough description of the world's situation.

He was acutely aware that in a world where cultivation was possible, the survival of the fittest was often amplified because individual power ultimately belonged to oneself, obscuring the seemingly glamorous facade of becoming an immortal or ancestor.

What lies beneath is the hardship of spiritual practice endured by those at the bottom of society.

If he could receive focused training from the Zhou family, he could dedicate the time he would have spent competing for resources to cultivation, allowing him to grow stronger quickly.

But in his heart, there was also a kind of anxiety about time. He wanted to return to Earth. To do this, he could only choose to cultivate quickly and reach a higher level before he would have a chance to go back.

After a brief interlude, the Zhou family elders continued their sermon, sharing their various experiences in spiritual practice with everyone.

At the same time, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged on his island, retracting one chain of divine order after another into his body.

Each of these chains of divine order possesses immeasurable divine power, representing one Great Dao after another, and is a manifestation of a certain level of comprehension of the Great Dao.

Generally speaking, only those who have severed their Dao can use this technique, but some amazing geniuses may also comprehend this level before they have severed their Dao.

The Order God Chain is essentially an evolved form of Dao patterns.

The process of evolving from Dao patterns into the divine chains of order is somewhat similar to the Bitter Sea Realm, where the scattered essence within the body condenses into changes in divine patterns in the early stages of opening up the Bitter Sea.

The structure changed from a relatively loose one to a more rigorous one, with a sharp increase in cohesion. The power was no longer dispersed, but condensed together, as solid as divine iron, and its power increased dramatically.

For the past month, Zhou Qing has been constantly comprehending various Great Daos, delving into their essence, studying their profound inner workings, and condensing various laws together.

When one's understanding of the Dao reaches a certain stage, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change. All insights will constantly emerge in the mind, flashes of inspiration will frequently appear, and finally, a structure will be comprehended that can condense the Dao patterns that one has mastered and that are related to this Dao together to form a stronger form of expression. This is the Order Divine Chain.

“My cultivation has made another step forward,” Zhou Qing muttered to himself.

"It will happen naturally without any obstacles. Although it's not easy to go from the eighth to the ninth step, it seems to be no problem for me. If things continue like this, I will definitely break through within a year, even without any other opportunities."

Zhou Qing stood up, looking into the distance as if trying to see through something.

He muttered to himself, "Breaking through the minor realms isn't difficult for me. The only challenge is the subsequent 'severing the Dao.' But after all these years, I've been asking myself questions and seeking the Dao. Even if this hurdle is difficult, it won't hold me back for long. A breakthrough is something I can foresee sooner or later."

"It's not impossible to speed up the cultivation process. Perhaps it's time to retract the great net of the Assassin Dynasty."

Over the years, his "good fellow Daoists" have discovered the coordinates of all the small worlds, whether in hell or the human world.

Investigating one's own people is undeniably efficient, especially when one of these "good fellow Daoists" is actually a world lord.

The ancient minor realms of hell and the human world were no secret to him until recently, but he still did not choose to take action.

Because he received news that the truly ancient temple had actually been moved away from the oldest small world long ago.

Several years ago, two assassin dynasties discovered a celestial domain outside the Beidou Domain.

It was a dried-up chaotic immortal land, having lost ninety percent of its spiritual energy, but the remaining ten percent still far surpassed their oldest minor world, a tremendous blessing.

The true oldest palaces of the two divine dynasties were moved to this newly discovered celestial realm, and the two palaces were united.

However, only the two Killing Saints knew the true coordinates of this celestial realm.

Since this celestial realm has not yet been fully explored, there are still many unknowns within it, and a group of assassins are often needed to come and uncover the dangers within.

However, these people were often under strict guard and were very likely to die during the excavation. The prison lord sent many groups of people, but none of them transmitted the specific coordinates.

Chapter 137 A Seed

"I knew the ancient divine dynasties wouldn't be easy to destroy, so they're even wary of their own people. That's too cautious," Zhou Qing sighed inwardly.

The Assassin Dynasty differs from other lineages because it has offended too many powerful forces. If its oldest hall is discovered, it will most likely be destroyed.

Therefore, even though so many years have passed and the coordinates of these small worlds, such as the eighteen levels of hell and the nine thousand feet of mortal world, have been found out, the location of the oldest palace has not been discovered.

Even they themselves don't know.

"However, now that my cultivation has advanced further, I should be able to deduce the coordinates of this celestial realm with my deduction skills, all I need is a trigger."

The art of deduction has existed since ancient times, but since there is deduction, there is also counter-deduction. For example, the Heaven-Deceiving Array Pattern has the function of counter-deduction, or some overly powerful beings or objects, such as the Immortal Ascension Cauldron, will automatically shield the heavenly secrets by disturbing the surrounding Great Dao.

When Zhou Qing tried to deduce Gai Jiuyou's location, he failed. The stronger a person is, the stronger their Dao is, and the more difficult it is to deduce. Back then, his Dao of Destiny hadn't even reached the Saint level, so he naturally gained nothing.

The power possessed by the Assassin Dynasty in this era is truly extraordinary. The two ancient Assassin Saints attained enlightenment a thousand years earlier than Qi Luo of the Heavenly Court. Both of them have gone far into the Saint Realm, and they even attained sainthood in the post-ancient era. Their combat power is definitely more than just two or three forbidden realms.

Even Qi Luo, who had just become a saint, was able to assassinate one of the saint king's arms. Even though these two killing saints were in their later years and their combat power had declined, they were still not to be underestimated.

These are just the two Killing Saints who are out in the open. They are the two Killing Saints who are known to the eighteen levels of hell and the nine thousand feet of mortal world in hell and the mortal world. The only superiors who know about these small worlds are those two ancient Killing Saints.

However, who could have imagined that above them were two more Ancestor Killers who could look down upon all living beings long before the world changed, but their lifespans were dwindling and they generally wouldn't take action.

These two ancestral killers had been in seclusion for countless years, reaching the peak of the Saint King realm long ago. They were just one step away from becoming Great Saints, truly looking down upon the Big Dipper without fear.

Even the old madman who had become a great saint was not afraid of these two. A few years after the original timeline, after the old madman regained his senses, he was followed by these two for a long time and they almost made a move against him in secret.

On the surface, these two assassins may seem to be blind to their own limitations, even thinking of killing a Great Sage. But if you look at their assassination record, you will understand that the Killing Saint King of the Post-Ancient Era is truly the King of Kings.

Among the myriad races of antiquity, the Saint King of the Great Luo Clan was able to fight his way to the false Immortal Gate amidst a group of Saints and Saint Kings, demonstrating unfathomable cultivation.

Yet, this peerless master was followed all the way by two Killing Ancestors, who remained hidden by his side without him noticing.

In the end, when the two Ancestor Killers made their move, in just a moment, this Saint King, who had fought his way to the false Immortal Gate, was killed without any power to resist. Even slaughtering chickens and dogs was not as easy as that one blow.

To prove one's path through killing is the ancient way of killing one's ancestors! Such a being, once assassinated, could pose a threat even to the Great Sage.

Just

He was an old madman, but he was no ordinary person either. He had taken a few more steps into the Great Sage Realm, and his combat power was extremely high, which was why the two of them dared not make a move.

“These two people absolutely cannot be allowed to become Great Sages!” Zhou Qing said, frowning.

The Assassin Gods have always been unscrupulous; there's no one they wouldn't dare to kill.

They didn't care about great imperial families or supreme imperial weapons. The Ji family, the Jiang family, and Yaochi all had saints killed by them, and their skulls and human skin became their capital for showing off.

Since they couldn't find their oldest palace, even if they had supreme imperial weapons, they wouldn't know where to hit them, so they posed no real threat.

Moreover, the Assassin Dynasty also colluded with those among the ancient races who were hostile to the human race. No matter how difficult the human race's situation was, they would still assassinate human prodigies.

Of course, the ancient races have not yet awakened, so they cannot collude with each other.

Most importantly, Zhou Qing was worried that due to some butterfly effect, those two ancestor killers might find an opportunity to break through and become Great Saints.

Once these two become Great Sages, all the forces in the Eastern Wilderness will probably be losing sleep, and they won't be able to live peacefully anymore.

In the post-ancient era, once someone breaks through to the Great Sage level, their combat power is truly terrifying. This can be seen in a large number of saints of the same level, such as Gai Jiuyou, the Old Madman, Wei Yi, and Jiang Taixu.

At that time, the situation in Beidou will likely be even more severe than during the most prosperous period of the ancient Assassin Dynasty tens of thousands of years ago, since even Dao Slayers are almost nowhere to be seen in this world.

Moreover, due to the existence of these two Killing Saints and two Killing Ancestors, the coordinates of that celestial domain have clearly been artificially disrupted.
