Hua Ling said slowly: "This is actually the origin of the name Tianzang, which means that after being here, it is as if hidden in the cracks of time."

"It can significantly slow down the loss of vitality and prevent the erosion of time."

"So we can start with the exploration and cleanup of the Tianzang Plateau. There are definitely quite a few masters sleeping here and returning."

"Whether it's a partner to cooperate with or a hidden danger that needs to be solved in advance, you can find it on the Tianzang Plateau."

Zhou Qing nodded slightly and agreed to Hua Ling's proposal.

"As you said, let's start from the Tianzang Plateau!"

Dealing with the highest-level and most intense batch of abnormal places in the Xuanhuang Realm and communicating with many ancient powerful beings are the common demands of Zhou Qing and Hua Ling.

If those abnormal places are naturally formed treasures, then they can directly bring them irresistible benefits.

If there are ancient powerful people sleeping inside, they need to be dealt with in a timely manner.

In this era when the Tianming Sect was destroyed and the Xuanhuang Realm was masterless, the first thing these Xuanhuang Realm masters had to do was to unite.

Without mentioning those noble reasons, they all need to do this simply to protect their own interests.

It is impossible to give away the resources of the fairyland to others.

The two left the snowy land where Hua Ling was sleeping and walked on the Tianzang Plateau.

They will not explore every place of abnormality. From the perspective of the Creator, the Tao rhyme in some places is not strong, the amount of destiny power received is not large, and there is a lack of a certain essence.

These manifestations mean that if this strange place contains opportunities, they are relatively ordinary and not worth wasting time on at this time when every second counts.

What's more, the Xuanhuang Realm is vast, and all kinds of opportunities and treasures are popping up like mushrooms after a rain. It is impossible for Zhou Qing to monopolize them all, and he must leave some for the world.

Zhou Qing asked: "Did you know anyone in the Eighth Destiny Era who is trustworthy and is also asleep like you?"

Hua Ling nodded, then shook her head, and said helplessly:

"Among my former friends, some did choose to sleep in a sealed place like me, but everyone's sleeping place is secret and will not be known to others, so as to avoid accidents that interrupt their sleep."

"Plus, there are all kinds of accidents that may happen in the long years. I don't know if any of my friends have revived in this era. If we are destined, we should be able to meet again."

Zhou Qing asked again: "Will there be any strong people before the Eighth Destiny Era who have been sleeping until this era and awakened here?"

"Yes." Hua Ling answered decisively: "When I was growing up in the Eighth Destiny Era, I met a master from the Fifth Destiny Era of the Xuanhuang Era."

"Some people's arrangements went wrong, and they were unable to wake up in the next era of their own era, but continued to sleep."

"In that case, the situation will be very complicated." Zhou Qing had a headache.

Soon, Zhou Qing and his friends arrived at an extremely eerie and sinister place.

This is a deep valley, with no sunlight all day long. Even before the destiny was revealed, it was filled with miasma, poisonous creatures were rampant, and the bones of living creatures covered the bottom of the valley in a thick layer.

After the destiny was revealed, there were endless ghost shadows floating around here, and screams could be heard all the time, without stopping.

Those ghost shadows are not just humans, beasts, monsters, etc. There are also ferocious creatures as big as mountains, with green faces and fangs, and there are also ghost soldiers wearing armor.

In the center of the valley, a gray-green column of light shot up into the sky, radiating in all directions, making the heaven and earth appear as if they were a gloomy hell.

In the beam of light, figures appeared and eerie buildings loomed, as if there was a world of ghosts inside.

"here……"

Hua Ling first looked around the place, recalled carefully, and then said:

“When I came to the Tianzang Plateau to look for a place to seal off my own territory, I didn’t find anything special about this place, and I didn’t have any impression of it.”

"Perhaps something has changed here since you fell asleep."

Zhou Qing came to the gray-green light column. This was the core of this place. The spatial fluctuations were extremely clear to his perception.

This gray-green beam of light is actually an entrance that leads to another space.

The gray-green light column did not show any other movement due to the arrival of the two of them. It was unclear whether there was no one inside, or if there was someone but that person was unwilling to contact them.

Hua Ling called out, "Fellow Daoist inside, could you please come out and see us? Or open the door and let us in to talk?"

There was no answer except the screams of the evil spirits.

"Since no one responded, this must be a no-man's land."

Hua Ling looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, I am sorry to trouble you."

Zhou Qing nodded: "It should be."

It's all "no man's land", so they obviously won't let it go.

It's polite to say hello first.

Zhou Qing stretched out his hand, tore the space node in front of him, and forced open the entrance.

A spatial channel was formed, and on the other side was a dark green scene with an eerie atmosphere.

Zhou Qing walked in first. With his current strength, he was confident enough to go in no matter whether this was the sleeping place of ancient powerful men or not.

Zhou Qing is at the peak of his life, while those ancient strong men are just the opposite, at an unprecedented low point in their strength.

Now that he is in this world, many times we should not ask him if he is worried, but ask others if they are afraid of him.

After crossing the passage, Zhou Qing and Hua Ling came to a world where yin energy filled every corner. This place was not small, with a diameter of about ten thousand miles, but it was completely different from the normal world.

In this space, the sky was dark green, dripping with green water, and there was a foul smell. A large number of bones and corpses were piled on the ground, forming a sea of ​​​​corpses.

You can tell at first glance that this is not a serious world.

There are no living creatures in this space, as if it is a world of death, but while it is extremely gloomy, it also has a different color.

Bright and beautiful flowers are in full bloom, forming a sharp contrast with the corpses and bones at the bottom. Some of the flowers are full of spiritual energy, and they are obviously precious medicines and immortal plants.

The flowers that bloom from the bones have the most gorgeous colors.

After taking a quick look, Hua Ling said, "It looks like there is no one here. It is a naturally formed secret place."

As a not-so-serious Three Tribulations Immortal, she could see through everything in the vast land in an instant.

"That's the case on the surface..."

Zhou Qing's gaze kept moving in this space, and the dark clouds in the sky and the corpses underground were all in his sight.

Very peaceful.

Zhou Qing thought about it, and a projection of the world appeared behind him. It expanded rapidly, covering every inch of the space.

Summoning the world within one's body and having it appear in the outside world in the form of a projection is an instinctive ability that every creator possesses.

World projection doesn't actually mean much in the battle between the Creators, but it has a very amazing effect in other aspects.

For example, when you bully the weak and clear the field, once the world projection appears, no matter how many creatures of lower realms there are, they will be crushed to death.

For example, if it is used to search for perception, everything will be clearly visible under the projection of the world.

Zhou Qing now wants to see if there is any problem with this space.

"Um?"

After a moment, Zhou Qing looked at a corner of the ground where corpses were scattered all over. It looked no different from other places, but Zhou Qing started to speak.

"Come out, no need to hide anymore."

Hua Ling also shifted her gaze over there, silently, and no movement occurred.

Zhou Qing shook his head slightly, and the projection of the world shrank, and finally all pressed towards that position.

"boom!"

A loud roar was heard, and the corpses at that location exploded into pieces. It was not Zhou Qing who blew them to pieces, but someone else did it.

Among all the shattered corpses, there was a rotten-looking grey skeleton with some holes caused by insects. It took the opportunity to retreat into the distance.

Gray Bone is roughly human-shaped, the only difference from normal people is that he has four arm bones.

There is a "person" hidden in this space, and it is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.

This person hid very well, and Zhou Qing didn't find him at first.

Gray Bone turned his face towards Zhou Qing and the other man and said, "My two Taoist friends, barging in without saying hello is probably a little impolite."

Zhou Qing looked at the bone and said, "Since you have woken up, why didn't you say anything just now?"

Being able to knock on the door from outside is already the limit.

If Zhou Qing and Hua Ling did not enter the strange place where no one responded, they would simply turn around and go back without having to explore around anymore.

Most of those naturally formed treasures don't care about humans.

Huigu was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't want to be disturbed. I just want to recover my strength in peace."

"It is our fault for disturbing you, fellow Daoist. I hope you can forgive us." Zhou Qing said, "The reason why we acted this way is because the Xuanhuang Realm has reached a critical moment of survival."

"How can you say that your Tianming Sect suppressed the Xuanhuang Realm?" Huigu said.

He actually thought Zhou Qing was a member of the Tianming Sect.

But if you think about it, it does make sense.

Firstly, it has been less than two months since the Mandate of Heaven was revealed. It is almost impossible for the ancient strongman to recover to the level of the Creator at this time.

But this is the fairyland, and a creator appeared among the people of this era. It is normal for these ancient powerful people to attribute Zhou Qing to the Tianming Sect at the first time.

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

According to common sense, only the Taoist tradition of destiny can have a creator at this point in time.

Unfortunately, Zhou Qing is not a common sense person.

As for Hua Ling, her current cultivation level is that of a Three Tribulations Immortal. It is possible that she could be either an ancient powerhouse or a contemporary master. However, since she follows Zhou Qing, she is naturally assumed to be a member of the Tianming Sect.

"We are not from the Tianming Sect. We are all living beings of this world. The Tianming Sect is dead, and everything will be reshuffled." Zhou Qing said calmly: "The two of us are looking for people like you, fellow Taoist, in order to cooperate with you."

"The Tianming Sect is dead?! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Huigu was speechless, and his attitude was almost the same as Hua Ling's when she first learned about this matter. They both temporarily ignored the question of why Zhou Qing, a living being of this world, was the creator.

Zhou Qing and Hua Ling looked at him quietly without explaining much. Huigu calmed down on his own and slowly accepted this fact.

This is so outrageous that it is unlikely to be a lie...

If this kind of thing is a lie, it will be easily exposed and investigated.

"The Tianming Sect is dead... dead..." Huigu said in a low voice without any obvious emotion. He asked:

"What do you want to work with me on?"

"We will not interfere with your return. After you recover, we will join forces to resist those aliens who covet the Xuanhuang Realm."

Zhou Qing said: "As for the resources of Xuanhuang Realm, we are competing fairly."

"To defend against outsiders?"

Huigu clearly understood what Zhou Qing meant. He chuckled and said, "So you want to take over the position of Tianming Sect. This is not an easy task. Without Tianming Sect, Xuanhuang Realm will definitely be watched by other realms and will be the most watched place."

“That’s why we need to cooperate.”

"If I agree to your request, I will have to face pressure from all walks of life in the future. If I don't agree, what will you do?"

Gray Bone asked with interest: "Will you deal with me and interrupt my resuscitation?"

"No."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "Even if you refuse, we will not attack you without reason. As long as you are willing to make some promises, such as not to harm the Xuanhuang Realm in the future, rest assured, these promises will not embarrass you."

"We will not interfere with you in recovering your strength. If we can't be friends, we don't have to be enemies."

The way the two of them dealt with these ancient strongmen was not to kill all those who disagreed. Such an idea and approach was undoubtedly the stupidest and would never work.

No one knows how many masters in the Xuanhuang Realm are reviving. Although Zhou Qing is now the Creator, how can he deal with all the returnees, whether openly or secretly?

Even though some strong men have not fully recovered yet, no one can do anything to them based on the arrangements they left behind.

Who can force those people to do something if they don't want to? If the most violent and extreme methods are adopted, with only black and white options and no third choice, then it will undoubtedly force everyone to the opposite side of them, and in the end it will only arouse public anger and lead to a dead end.

Even the Creator could not withstand the backlash from all the ancient masters.

Moreover, not to mention whether he has the strength to threaten all the ancient masters, even if there is no grudge between the two sides, if he fails to win them over, then killing them would go against Zhou Qing's principles and is not something he can do.

Zhou Qing and Hua Ling discussed it, and their plan was to clarify the interests with these ancient strongmen and let them recognize the current situation.

Then use interests and positions to win over as many experts as possible, unite around you, and prepare for the future.

No talk of feelings, only of interests.

The destruction of the Tianming Sect is both a huge crisis and an opportunity for the Xuanhuang Realm.

If the Tianming Sect still existed, then many opportunities would not be available to other people or sects, and would be directly occupied by the Tianming Sect.

I believe that after understanding the situation, everyone can make accurate judgments and make choices that are beneficial to themselves.

And cooperating with Zhou Qing, the creator of the world, is the most advantageous choice. He is the answer to the version!

As for the remaining ancient powerful beings who were not moved and did not want to get involved in this matter, they certainly could not be forced to become enemies, and it would be better to just pretend that they did not exist.

Only those with truly vicious intentions who intend to take advantage of the destruction of the Tianming Sect to wreak havoc on the world, harm all living beings, and affect the overall situation will be directly killed by them using thundering means.

In short, the most important thing is to have conversations with many ancient powerful people and make friends.

The gray bones are silent and thinking.

Hua Ling suddenly asked, "Senior, are you also a human? I wonder what realm you are in?"

Hua Ling had no intention of revealing her origins, but disguised herself as a modern resident, which was beneficial to Zhou Qing and the others' actions.

Huigu's thoughts were interrupted, he turned his skull and looked at Hua Ling.

"It was you, the little girl, who was shouting outside just now, right?"

"It's me. I was rude and disturbed you just now. Please forgive me."

"I am not from the human race, but from the Shura race."

Hua Ling nodded, her expression unchanged, "I have never seen one in this life, but it sounds like it should be a very powerful race."

"Please think about it carefully first. If I have an answer, I can contact you at any time."

Zhou Qing: "Let's not bother you for now."

Huigu said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, I will seriously consider this matter."

Zhou Qing and Hua Ling left this world. After they were far away, Zhou Qing asked, "Is there anything special about the Shura clan?"

The matter has not been resolved yet, so why would Zhou Qing leave inexplicably? The reason he did this was because Hua Ling sent a message to Zhou Qing, saying that there was important information.

"The Shura tribe?"

Disgust flashed in Hua Ling's eyes. "It must be the Shura Demon Clan. The Fairy Palace has fought with this group of people before. They are extremely bloodthirsty and are a nightmare for all living things. They are not a native race of the Xuanhuang Realm, but a group of rebellious Shura people from the Shura Realm."

"The source of these Shura demons is the demon Shuras who were corrupted by the demonic energy. They are bloodthirsty and brutal. When they first came to the Xuanhuang Realm, they appeared in other life sources and set off a bloody massacre. They were later suppressed."

"This demon Shura should be a member of the Shura Demon Clan that was suppressed back then. I wonder how he managed to survive until today."

"A race infected by evil spirits?"

Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression became more serious, and then he asked:

"How do you know for sure that he is a demon Shura, and not a Shura from the Shura Realm who came to the Xuanhuang Realm?"

"Fellow Daoist, if you lie to me, you know the consequences."

"Human form, but with multiple arms, a distinct characteristic of the Shura race."

Hua Ling replied: "But the Shura world was destroyed in the demonic disaster a long time ago. All normal Shuras have died, and only the demonic Shuras remain."

"The destruction of the Shura Realm is a major event in the Void. You will definitely find related records if you go to other Heavenly Fate Sects."

Being able to say this means that what Hua Ling said is probably true.

"If that's the case..."

Zhou Qing's eyes flashed with coldness, "Then this Demon Shura cannot be kept."

Cooperation and winning over are strategies for normal creatures. There is no need to win over a group of people who have been infected by evil spirits and committed heinous crimes in the Xuanhuang Realm, and it is impossible to become friends with them.

We must strike hard!
