"The three items necessary for refining the body are all here. Take them away."

Hua Ling said: "After you learn the method, you can use it at will, but the core of life and the water of life are only enough to refine a body for me, you cannot use them."

Zhou Qing put away the three things and said at the same time: "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."

Hua Ling nodded. With the oath as a guarantee, she was not worried that Zhou Qing would do anything. This was also the reason why she was willing to let Zhou Qing refine the body embryo outside.

After discussing the main business, Zhou Qing asked some questions that had been in his mind for a long time.

"Which era are you from?"

"Xuanhuang Era, the eighth era of destiny, which era is it now? Has the era changed?"

Zhou Qing was a little confused, shook his head and said:

"I don't know. After the fall of the Tianming Sect, the Xuanhuang Realm's cultivation civilization experienced more than one break, and a lot of information has been lost."

Even from the Sage of Literature, Zhou Qing had never heard of the concept of era.

Hua Ling was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "Has the Xuanhuang Realm fallen to this point..."

She then explained: "From the beginning of this manifestation of destiny to the years before the next manifestation of destiny, the void is unified and divided into a complete era."

Zhou Qing asked: "Does the time after the destiny was hidden also count?"

"Yes, a complete era of destiny includes the period from the manifestation of destiny to the concealment of destiny, and the period from the concealment of destiny to the last law period before the next manifestation of destiny. I was born at the end of the destiny period of the eighth era of destiny, and sealed myself at the end of the destiny period."

Zhou Qing was thoughtful. It turned out that this was how the world of the universe divided the eras.

"After the fall of the Tianming Sect, the destiny was incompletely manifested. I don't know how far away the destruction of the Tianming Sect was from the eighth Tianming era when you were born."

"An incomplete manifestation of destiny?"

Hua Ling shook her head, "This situation cannot be considered the beginning of an era of destiny. The new era of destiny will start from now on."

"The preparations I made when I sealed myself off were to allow me to wake up in the next era. In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, this should be the ninth era of the Xuanhuang Era."

Zhou Qing asked: "What is the Xuanhuang Ji? Is it related to the Xuanhuang Realm?"

"It's related to the founder of the Tianming Sect."

Hua Ling replied: "The Xuanhuang Realm and Xuanhuang Era are both named after the title of the founder of the Tianming Sect."

"In the past, the entire void had gone through the Taiyi Era, the Buddhist Era, the Taoist Era, and other eras. The symbol of the change of eras was the birth of a person at the level of the founder of the Tianming Dao."

Zhou Qing's heart moved, and he asked:

"Buddhist discipline and Taoist discipline refer to Lingshan and Sanqing Taoist Temple?"

"Yes." Hua Ling gave an affirmative answer.

"Before the Xuanhuang Era was the Taiyi Era, which went through a total of twelve Tianming Eras. In the last Tianming Era, the founder of the Tianming Sect took on the Tianming Mandate, which marked the end of the Taiyi Era and the beginning of the Xuanhuang Era."

“And because Xuan Huang Dao Zun carries the Mandate of Heaven, the time for the Mandate of Heaven to manifest will be greatly extended, which is equivalent to when the Mandate of Heaven just manifests, and it officially enters the first era of Xuan Huang Ji.”

Zhou Qing was silent for a while. The information Hua Ling revealed was something he had never known before, and he had no channels to learn about it.

The last time he went to the Supreme Realm, it was obviously impossible for Lian Guang Zhenxian, a second-tribulation immortal, to specifically say these things to him.

"Xuan Huang Dao Zun, carrying the destiny..."

This Xuanhuang Daozun is obviously the founder of the Tianming Sect and the creator of the era.

This is an astonishing thing, the void and the change of eras, all caused by one person.

My name is the name of the era. The achievement this represents is truly terrifying. I can definitely be said to be the number one in the void.

After a long while, Zhou Qing continued to ask: "What is the meaning of carrying destiny?"

Hua Ling glanced at Zhou Qing and answered directly without hiding anything: "The realm after Dao Lord and Dao God is also the void and nothingness, the ultimate realm of the heavens and the world, above everything. They are higher than the Dao, larger than the void and nothingness, and more eternal than time. In the past, present and future, they are invincible."

"Carrying the destiny is the only way to advance to this realm. This realm has many names, such as the realm of destiny, the master of the era, and above the avenue. It is a realm that cannot be guessed or imagined."

"From the opening up of the void to this point, there are only a limited number of people who carry the destiny. There are as many people who carry the destiny as there are Taoist traditions of destiny. It can be said that there are only a handful of people."

"Moreover, this realm is unique within a certain period of time. Only one person can reach this level. After someone bears the destiny, for a long time, even several destiny eras, it is impossible for anyone to take this step again."

Carrying the destiny is farther away than the end of cultivation and more transcendent than the ultimate of cultivation.

Hua Ling's words shocked Zhou Qing's heart. It turned out that the founders of the Tianming Taoist school were all people of this level.

To become the Lord of Dao and control the Great Dao is already incredible, but there is actually such a realm.

No wonder almost everyone believes that the Taoism of Heaven's Mandate is eternal and will last forever, and even the Xiantian God Emperor has to stand in awe of it.

No wonder Hua Ling thought it was impossible the first time she heard the news of the demise of the Tianming Sect.

After coming back to his senses, Zhou Qing asked a question: "Are the bearers of destiny still alive?"

"After the first three Destiny Eras of each era, those who bear the Destiny will disappear without exception. As for their life or death..."

"I can't understand this kind of question. Even the Dao Master can't figure it out. But everyone who knows about their existence doesn't think they will die."

Hua Ling shook her head and continued, "You don't need to ask more about that realm, because I don't know much, and this information is almost all."

"How to bear the destiny, and what kind of scenery you will see after you do it, I have no idea. I just said that this realm is unfathomable and unimaginable. Even the Taoist master can hardly reach it."

"Things like the creation of the world, the reversal of time, and the collapse of the void are still within our imagination, but those who carry destiny transcend everything and are beyond common sense, imagination, and concepts."

"Is that so..."

Since Hua Ling had made it clear, Zhou Qing did not embarrass her and instead asked another question that had just arisen:

"The change of era after someone carries the Mandate of Heaven, is it just a simple change of the name of the era?"

"You are very perceptive and noticed this." Hua Ling expressed her approval.

"The change of eras is not just a change of era names, but also a change of the underlying laws of the entire void. It will begin to shift towards the avenue of the new era master. His power will naturally radiate to the world and reshape the avenue. This is the true change of eras."

"After reshaping the avenue based on one's own strength, the Lord of the Era can change the rules of the heavens with a thought, making all the heavens below and the earth above, making people survive without drinking water, and making the sun in the heavens emit coldness forever."

"As the cultivation method, the Great Dao, and the Lord of the Era become closer and closer, then in the new era, cultivation will be smoother, because this is fundamentally approaching the Great Dao."

“At that time, countless worlds will be created and nurtured, and the already infinite void will expand again. The world where the Lord of the Era is born will also become the origin of the Great Dao, which is what we usually call the Immortal Realm.”

Zhou Qing suddenly realized, "So this is how the fairyland came about."

It is absolutely no problem to say that this world, where a Lord of the Era was born, is the origin of the Great Dao.

No wonder the fairy world is so special and high and mighty that even the gods with innate gods in charge cannot compare to it.

The Xiantian God Emperor is also under the destiny.

Zhou Qing asked: "How many Heavenly Mandate Daoist traditions are there in the Eighth Heavenly Mandate Era of the Xuanhuang Era?"

"Shenting, Sanqing Taoist Palace..."

Hua Ling listed several names like a treasure, and after listening, Zhou Qing nodded and said:

"As I understand it, there should be no new bearer of destiny yet, and we are still in the Xuanhuang Era."

Of course, there are records of other Taoist sects in the Taishang Taoist Palace, and this is not top secret information. Zhou Qing has learned about it before.

Since what he knew matched the information that Hua Ling had, it naturally meant that there was no change of era.

The Supreme Taoist Palace would definitely not be unaware of such an earth-shattering event as the emergence of a new bearer of destiny.

Zhou Qing did not ask all the questions. Hua Ling's consciousness had just been awakened not long ago, and she was eager to understand this era.

Especially the destruction of the Tianming Sect, which became a huge rock weighing on her heart, making her soul extremely heavy.

"After the destruction of the Tianming Sect, what did other Tianming sects do afterwards?"

Zhou Qing shook his head: "Other sects of destiny probably don't know about this yet, but when the connections between the worlds of the heavens become closer in the future, it will be impossible to hide it."

"have no idea?"

She knew better than Zhou Qing how terrifying and powerful the Tianming Dao was. To her, such a thing was like the sky falling.

Calming down, Hua Ling said solemnly: "Can you tell me briefly about what you know from the fall of the Tianming Sect to now?"

"Can."

Zhou Qing told Hua Ling everything he knew.

There is nothing wrong with saying this, just be careful not to reveal some of his own secrets.

After listening to Zhou Qing's story, Hua Ling was silent for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

Zhou Qing waited for her for a while before speaking: "Do you have any idea?"

“The Tianzong Dao lineage all has ancestral artifacts. They are artifacts left behind by those who carry the destiny of heaven. They are truly invincible and unstoppable to the Dao master.”

Hua Ling paused, and her voice was very low, as if she was afraid of disturbing something. She said, "To be able to destroy the Tianming Sect overnight without alerting other Tianming sects and without letting them know afterwards, the only thing I can imagine is..."

Hua Ling looked up at the sky and didn't say the rest.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

But Zhou Qingfu understood Hua Ling's meaning immediately.

What Hua Ling wanted to say was... those who had all disappeared! Zhou Qing felt a chill in his heart, but he suddenly felt that the possibility was very high.

The Taoist master does not have the ability to destroy the Taoist tradition of destiny silently, and there is only one answer that is stronger than the Taoist master.

In particular, Zhou Qing also thought of the shadow on the long river of time, and the pair of eyes that appeared in the sky on the night when the Tianming Sect was destroyed.

Zhou Qing whispered: "If it is really as you guessed, then...what about Xuan Huang Dao Zun?"

Tianming Sect is the inheritance of Xuanhuang Daozun. If this was really done by a disappeared epoch master, then why didn't Xuanhuang Daozun react?

Was Xuan Huang Dao Zun in a bad state, or was he unable to help for some other reason? Or was he even acquiescing? Hua Ling sighed, "It's a mystery."

“Once the destruction of the Tianming Sect is known to other worlds, it will surely attract countless people. Without the Tianming Sect, the Xuanhuang Realm will be the meat that everyone wants to take a bite of.”

"The temptation of this ownerless fairyland is too great."

Although the Tianming Sect was destroyed, the essence of the Xuanhuang Realm is still the fairyland. The opportunities that will be born after the destiny is revealed will not be much worse than those in the Sanqing Realm.

But other fairy realms have owners. The Tianming Daotong controls everything and stabilizes the situation. There is no problem for you to enter them to look for opportunities, but if you want to cause chaos, then you are seeking death. You must act according to the rules of the Tianming Daotong.

But if the Xuanhuang Realm now breeds an opportunity of the Immortal Realm level...

This is no different from a child carrying gold through a busy street.

Once the news gets out, who wouldn't want to get a piece of the pie?

Zhou Qing had thought of this principle from the beginning, so he wanted to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible and make a deal with Hua Ling.

Not to mention the noble reason of doing it for the sake of all living beings in the Xuanhuang Realm, even for Zhou Qing's own interests, he must become as strong as possible and at the same time unite all the forces that can be united.

These are all my opportunities! Hua Ling said: "I'd like to trouble you to refine my body as soon as possible. I need to seize the time to recover my strength and find reliable allies at the same time."

"For our own benefit and for the future of Xuanhuang Realm, we must quickly grow our strength."

"Without the Tianming Sect, we have the responsibility to stand up."

"I understand. I will hurry up and finish refining the body."

"My consciousness has just been revived and needs to be nurtured. If there is nothing urgent, then we can talk about it later."

"Can."

Zhou Qing said goodbye and left. When Hua Ling was the only one left, changes began to occur in this empty space.

This is actually a complete world, with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, etc., full of inspiration.

And at the center of this world is a dried flower.

This is the true form of the flower spirit.

The shadow of the flower spirit stood beside the main body, gently stroking the petals.

"With this body, my true self will have the possibility of reviving in a short period of time. I hope everything goes well, Zhou Qing, don't let me down..."

The second body of the flower elves is very important to them. It not only improves their strength, but is also the best auxiliary means to protect their lives and practice.

Otherwise, Hua Ling would not be willing to pay a huge price and ask Zhou Qing for help.

After leaving the space in the mountains, Zhou Qing first picked flowers in the snow. The flower spirit should have made plans for this moment before sealing itself off. Most of the flowers needed to refine the body can be found here.

Then the Taiyin Dharmakaya directly left the Tianzang Plateau and returned to where Zhou Qing's original body was.

Zhou Qing got the things needed to refine the body embryo. He first comprehended the refining method. After a moment, Zhou Qing nodded slightly.

"Apart from the harsh conditions, it's not difficult to refine."

Stroking the core of life in his hand, Zhou Qing was thinking about Hua Ling.

Looking at it now, trading with the flower spirit was indeed the right choice. This flower spirit who came from the Elf Palace obviously had an extremely good foundation in various knowledge and information, and could bring great help to Zhou Qing.

Hua Ling was born and grew up in the era of the manifestation of destiny. She has the entire era as her foundation. If Zhou Qing makes friends with her, he will have the opportunity to obtain both cultivation experience and various secrets in the future.

"The first place I explored where something strange happened, I met a fairly friendly ancient warrior who helped me out. So I guess I'm pretty lucky."

Zhou Qing thought to himself: "Could this be because I made a breakthrough in the Dharma Ending Period and gained the destiny and luck that led to the manifestation of destiny?"

"Well, there should be reasons for this. I can now be said to be a person loved by the times. Of course, my strength is not weak, which is also an important reason why Hua Ling is willing to trade with me. She can't do anything to me, so naturally she can only choose to treat me gently."

Although luck and other things are mysterious, in this world, strength is ultimately respected and determines everything.

After reviewing his communication with Hua Ling, Zhou Qing sent out the Taiyin Dharma Body again, asking it to explore other strange places while searching for other materials. Then he began to refine the body embryo for Hua Ling.

He had to do this before [Nirvana Holy Heart] refreshed, so that he could refine it without any damage.

If Zhou Qing really had to pay an irreparable three hundred years of life and the corresponding origin, he would also feel distressed.

It's not your thing, there's no need to fight for it.

After successfully refining the flower spirit's body embryo, it will be almost time to activate the Nirvana Holy Heart and bring his condition back to its peak.

After doing all these things, Zhou Qing can be said to have utilized the golden finger of [Nirvana Holy Heart] to the extreme.

I also pushed myself to the limit.

Five days later.

A green, egg-sized crystal bead appeared in front of Zhou Qing.

The beads are extremely smooth, as if they were made by nature.

This is the body embryo that Zhou Qing refined for Hua Ling, and it succeeded in one go.

Taiyin Dharmakaya has returned. Zhou Qing handed the body embryo to him and asked him to take it to Hua Ling.

Zhou Qing let out a sigh of relief. Five days of non-stop refining did not make him feel tired, but instead made him feel full of energy.

“It’s time.”

It is already the end of this month. After refining the body embryo, Zhou Qing's lifespan and essence are exhausted again. It is a good opportunity to use the Nirvana Holy Heart.

Zhou Qing did not delay any longer and directly activated the Sacred Heart.

His heart suddenly felt hot, and then countless heat currents exploded, rushing to his limbs and bones, and into the depths of his soul.

The lost lifespan and essence were replenished in an instant. At the same time, Zhou Qing's talent, understanding and other aspects were also transforming.

He felt better than ever before, and inspiration kept coming to him.

With the help of this transformation, Zhou Qing further and truly glimpsed a new world.
