There once grew a sacred tree here that covered the multiverse. Although it can no longer be seen, it still exists.

Zhou Qing tried every trick in the book, but couldn't find any trace of the Tree of Destiny. After it merged with this world, it seemed to have completely disappeared.

Zhou Qing is determined to obtain the Tree of Destiny. This item is very likely to be related to his attainment of Taoism, so he must not miss it.

One of the purposes of his trip to Earth might be to learn about the lost history, but the most important thing was the existence of the Tree of Destiny.

But the Three Pure Ones also said that even if the Taoist destroyed this world, he would not be able to find and take away the Tree of Destiny.

How to do it? Zhou Qing actually has an idea about this issue.

"You are waiting for me indeed."

Zhou Qing whispered softly, and a small stove appeared in his hand.

This is the golden finger he is currently locking onto, [The Crucible of the Avenue].

The furnace of the Tao can refine the Tao and return it to its origin.

The Tree of Destiny is integrated into this world and cannot be discovered by conventional means.

The capabilities of the Avenue Furnace are perfect for situations like this.

All I can say is that these things have been arranged long ago, and the golden finger is really very "random".

The Tree of Destiny is waiting for someone who can take it away. It is known that even the Lord cannot take it away by force. However, Zhou Qing, who has the Great Dao Furnace, has a great probability of being able to do this.

If you say that the person the Tree of Destiny is waiting for is not Zhou Qing, no one will believe you.

However, Zhou Qing was a little hesitant. Of course he wanted the Tree of Destiny, but if he used the Great Dao Furnace to return the Tree to its original state and make it reappear, it would harm the world, which was something Zhou Qing did not want to see.

After all, this is Zhou Qing's hometown. If it were destroyed in his hands, it would be a real sin.

"Let's try it first. I'll be more careful later."

Zhou Qing no longer hesitated and threw out the Avenue Furnace. This mysterious object grew larger in the wind and in an instant it blocked out the sky and the sun. However, this was not its limit and its size was still skyrocketing.

Planet size, star size, galaxy size…

Until the end, under Zhou Qing's urging, this avenue furnace expanded to a size larger than the universe.

Such things are not at all uncommon for a great celestial being in the Yuan realm.

It’s just a universe. If Yuanjing Great Celestial Master wants, he can use it as a marble to play with.

At the same time, humans on Earth did not notice the problem. They lived their lives as usual, completely unaware that there was a great celestial being displaying great supernatural powers. After all, there were only billions of mortals, and it was easy for Zhou Qing to block their senses.

Then the entire universe fell into the furnace of the Great Dao, and the fire of the Great Dao appeared in the furnace, burning fiercely.

Zhou Qing wants to refine this universe! It sounds a bit horrifying and too cruel, making Zhou Qing look like the ultimate villain, the big devil who is destroying the world.

But the problem is that after the war, the Tree of Destiny turned into rain of light and merged with the entire world. If we want to make it reappear now, then naturally every corner of this world must not be let go.

Every location in this world carries a part of the Tree of Destiny. If any part is missing, the Tree of Destiny you get in the end will not be complete.

Of course, Zhou Qing didn’t really want to destroy the world, he had preparations.

Zhou Qing was concentrating on controlling the Dao Furnace, trying his best to preserve the universe while smelting the Tree of Destiny.

As the fire of the Great Dao rose, the world quickly responded.

A little bit of colorful light appeared out of thin air, endless, like a brilliant sea of ​​stars.

These colorful lights are exactly the same as the light spots that appeared after the Tree of Destiny collapsed. The Avenue Furnace is indeed a treasure that can be used at this time.

The fire of the avenue surged, and colorful spots of light gradually gathered together in such a smelting process and became a ball of light.

This process continues, with endless colorful lights and brilliant brilliance.

After the light spot representing the Tree of Destiny was melted out, the universe was not further destroyed and remained intact.

Zhou Qing sensed it slightly, and then his eyes became strange.

This world remained intact in the fire of the Great Dao, firstly because he, the master of the Great Dao Furnace, did not want to destroy it, and secondly because...

There is really no more oil to be squeezed out of this world.

The Tree of Destiny took root in this world for endless years, and later merged with this world completely, swallowing up all the great ways, spiritual inspiration, and so on.

Now even the Great Dao Furnace can't produce more than two ounces of oil from it.

This is really...

A quarter of an hour later, no more light appeared in the entire universe, and the Tree of Destiny was reshaped in the furnace of the Avenue. The sacred tree that was once integrated into this world returned to its origin at this moment, but things were not over at this point.

The fire of the Great Dao grew stronger and stronger, and the Tree of Destiny melted under such heat.

Another quarter of an hour later, a colorful ball of light like a fruit appeared in the furnace of the Avenue.

At this point, the Dao Furnace slowly went out. Zhou Qing controlled it to become smaller and "spit out" the universe.

Zhou Qing first observed the world and found that it had not suffered any damage and everything was normal. The things he was worried about before did not happen, which made him nod with satisfaction.

"I'm really a master of micromanagement."

He had originally planned that if the universe sustained any damage during the smelting process, he would "heal" it himself.

It is very easy for Zhou Qing to complete a universe, but it is naturally best that no such accident has happened now.

Zhou Qing took out a ball of colorful light from the Avenue Furnace. This object did not have a physical entity, but was made up of colorful lights interwoven together.

After carefully sensing it, Zhou Qing was a little confused: "What is this?"

The things smelted out of the Dao Furnace will not provide any specific information, and Zhou Qing can only judge for himself.

But Zhou Qing really couldn't figure out the function of this ball of light.

"Is it something similar to the Destiny Fruit, but not as good in quality and effect as the Destiny Fruit?"

"How can it help me achieve enlightenment?"

Zhou Qing stroked the ball of light, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

He currently has no idea how to use this thing. He probably won’t know until he is “killed” by the Tai Chi diagram.

But this thing is the biggest purpose of the golden finger guiding him to the earth. There is no doubt about it, Zhou Qing is extremely sure of it.

At the same time, Zhou Qing was also concerned about one thing. Since refining the Destiny Fruit carries the destiny, there will be flaws.

So, will similar hidden dangers arise when using this ball of light?

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing shook his head: "No matter what, I can't give up this thing. I'll see later."

After collecting the essence of the Avenue Furnace and the Tree of Destiny, Zhou Qing's trip to Earth was basically complete.

Not only did I get the Tree of Destiny, but I also learned a secret history and many great secrets. It was well worth the trip.

Zhou Qing looked towards the earth. The humans on it had no idea what the world had just experienced.

If Zhou Qing had had a different thought just now, the universe would have been turned into ashes by now.

All we can say is that it’s fortunate that Zhou Qing did not turn into an evil path after traveling through time and space, and that he still has a bottom line as a human being. Otherwise, no one knows how the world would be devastated after he returned to Earth.

In fact, looking at all of Zhou Qing's experiences from the time he traveled through time to the present, it is really possible that he could have gone astray and fallen into the evil path.

After all, when he was still weak, Zhou Qing had come into contact with the Demon Sect many times and had been tried by them.

If I had not resisted the temptation and made other choices at that time, everything would naturally be different now.

In life, many times a choice determines your entire life.

"Without the Tree of Destiny devouring everything, this world may regain its vitality in the future."

Zhou Qing thought silently: "The lost path of cultivation will most likely reappear, and mankind will once again become a myth."

There is no shortage of scriptures for cultivation on Earth. Although many of the ancient techniques have been lost, many have been passed down.

The only thing missing is an environment for practice.

In the past, it was impossible to practice here because of the Tree of Destiny. Now that the tree has been taken away by Zhou Qing, many withered things will slowly regain new life.

However, that cannot be achieved in a short period of time. It may take thousands or even longer than that. It is hard to say whether human beings on Earth can wait until that day.

Compared with the time scale of the universe, ordinary humans are too small.

Not to mention tens of thousands of years or even longer, maybe one day the human beings on Earth will destroy themselves.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing smiled, took out the fragment of the Xuanhuang Seal, and prepared to leave.

He has witnessed everything he should know, and he has obtained everything he should get.

There might be other secrets hidden on Earth. For example, if the Tree of Destiny could not be discovered by the Taoist Master, why did the Xuanhuang Taoist Master block this world? But those secrets were not something Zhou Qing could explore now. Judging from the refresh of the golden finger, it was over.

Everything that should be done has been done, so there is naturally no need for Zhou Qing to stay here any longer.

The key point is that the speed of time flow in the earth world and the void is different, and the gap is huge.

Not to mention, even if Zhou Qing stayed on Earth for one more day, many years might have passed outside.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening due to the huge difference in the speed of time flow, Zhou Qing cannot stay here for long.

He did acknowledge that the Earth was his homeland, but there were too many things in the Xuanhuang Realm that Zhou Qing could not give up, and he could not give them up.

Besides, with the fragment of Xuanhuang Seal in hand, if Zhou Qing wants to come back anyday, he can do so at any time.

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

Pour the power into the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal, and the Xuanhuang vortex appears again.

Zhou Qing took one last look at the Earth, did a few things by the way, and then stepped into the Xuanhuang Vortex without hesitation.

The starry sky returned to silence, and no one in this world knew that a visitor from outside the world, or should we say a returning wanderer, had been here and done a lot of things.

…

The void was empty, as silent, dark, and endless as ever.

The dark yellow vortex slowly disappeared, and there was nothing here, as if the world did not exist.

The seal on the earth world was not lifted because of Zhou Qing's coming and going, it remained isolated.

Without the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal, you will never find it even if you search here for your entire life.

After collecting the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal, Zhou Qing connected with the laws of the Dao and gained insight into time.

"Nearly seven years have passed since the Void..."

After realizing this, Zhou Qing was speechless. He had only been on Earth for a short time, but so much time had passed outside.

When in the Earth world, Zhou Qing transformed into a historical ghost and went back to the past. Although it seemed that he had witnessed a long period of history, that was all fixed time and the actual time that had passed was not long.

The time difference between the two is indeed quite significant.

"Go home."

Zhou Qing sighed. The distance between here and the Xuanhuang Realm was also very long. It took him half a year to get here, and it would probably take almost the same amount of time to go back.

But think about it from another perspective, fortunately the two places are separated by only half a year, the speed of Yuanjing Great Heavenly Venerable. After all, the void is boundless and vast, and this half-year journey is actually not long in the entire void.

If it were farther, that would be "torture".

Half a year later, Zhou Qing returned to the Xuanhuang Realm, taking the same amount of time as when he left.

Although he has been away for more than seven years, Zhou Qing is not particularly worried about the safety of the people around him.

Although Zhou Qing was only at the Yuan realm, he still had some connections. He had asked Tai Su, Qing Shou Tianzun and others to take care of the people around him, and they agreed.

With the promise of these people, the safety of people like Lu Qingmo is guaranteed and they will not fall into irresistible danger.

After returning to Xuanhuang Realm, Zhou Qing heard a piece of news at the first moment.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Qi Dynasty actually merged.

In addition, the Southern Jin Dynasty had already perished, so at this time in the Xuanhuang Life Source, the human race had completed its unification, and only one country remained.

The country after the merger still used Zhou as its name, and the former royal family of the Great Qi was named the King of Qi, a hereditary title that would never be demoted.

This is not difficult to understand. When two countries merge, the stronger side will definitely be dominant.

The Bai family's overall strength and top powerhouses are not as good as the Wu family's. There is no reason to let the Bai family make the decision.

After hearing the news, Zhou Qing looked surprised.

How come he became a Zhou person after only being away for more than seven years?

Of course, Zhou Qing actually had no sense of identity or belonging to the Great Qi court. In addition, his impression and feeling of Qi Bai was not very good.

After the two countries merged, the royal family of Da Qi was demoted to the rank of king, and all the people of Qi became people of Zhou. Zhou Qing didn't care, as long as no one was killed, it was enough.

Peaceful reunification is always better than wars and bloodshed.

Zhou Qing has great recognition and a strong sense of belonging to the country where he was born in his previous life. After all, he grew up there.

When he returned to Earth before, he still considered himself a citizen of that country, and this had never changed.

But it is impossible to expect Zhou Qing, a time traveler from modern society with established values, to feel a sense of belonging to a feudal court.

If Zhou Qing joined the court of Da Qi after traveling through time, climbed up the career ladder within the court system, and received all the favors from Da Qi, then a few decades would be enough for him to recognize this court. However, the problem is that this is not the case.

In such a world of cultivation with extraordinary powers, families and sects are closer than countries, and can make people feel a greater sense of belonging.

What's more, practitioners at Zhou Qing's level have already transcended the world, and these basic organizations can no longer restrain them.

Ten thousand years of time, I don’t know how many human worlds I can buy, how can I have so much energy to be obsessed with these things.

Moreover, the merger of Western Qi and Eastern Zhou and the unification of the three kingdoms of the human race was actually a good thing in this era and was beneficial to the development of the human race.

Zhou Qing went to the capital of gods. He vaguely heard that the merger of the two countries had the shadow of the human world, so he had to go and take a look to avoid any problems.

After arriving at the Divine Capital, Zhou Qing met Ming Sheng, whose cultivation had reached the level of Four-Leaf Palm Life Lord, which surprised him.

Before Mingsheng, after Zhou Qing finished his fifteen-year retreat on the moon, he had reached the level of Erye Zhangmingzun.

Now he is already at the fourth leaf, but the time that has passed is not as long as that time, so Mingsheng's improvement speed in recent years is much faster than before.

Zhou Qing congratulated Mingsheng, and he smiled and waved his hand.

"It has been such a long time since the Mandate of Heaven was revealed, and I have just reached the Four-Leaf Palm of Life, but I can't even see your shadow. I am really ashamed."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Everyone has their own path. No matter if it's faster or slower, as long as we are making progress, it's fine. Our era has just begun. We still have infinite possibilities. It doesn't matter if we are faster or slower for a while."

"That makes sense."

Ming Sheng nodded and asked:

"You haven't appeared in the world for more than seven years. You came to the capital of God this time. Is there something going on?"

"It is indeed something."

Zhou Qing got down to business again: "I was not in Xuanhuang Realm for the past few years. I just came back today and heard that Zhou and Qi have merged."

Ming Sheng smiled and said, "This is true, including the land of the former Southern Jin, which has been taken over by the Great Zhou."

During the reign of Mingsheng, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty unified the human race's territory and reached an unprecedented peak. Mingsheng's achievements were extremely great.

History will remember all of this, and when he passes away in the future, he will have the dignity to meet his ancestors again, and he will naturally be extremely happy.

"Unification is indeed a good thing." Zhou Qing nodded, and then asked:

"But I heard that the human world is involved in this matter. What is going on?"

"The successful merger of Zhou and Qi was indeed a credit to the human world."

Ming Sheng replied, "Five years ago, a master from the Human Temple came to the Wu family and me and gave us the opportunity to enter the Human Temple to study and practice. Not only us, but the Human Temple also contacted the Bai family."

"This doesn't require us to pay anything. It is the Human Temple's care for the human race. This is the case for all human races in the heavens."

The Human Temple is the holy land and ancestral land of the human race. Leading the human race, taking care of the human race, and developing the race are the responsibilities that the Human Temple has always insisted on shouldering.

Therefore, it is normal for Renmiao to have contact with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and give it certain care.

Moreover, Dong Zhou is definitely one of the top local forces in Xuanhuang Realm. Doing so will only benefit the interests of the human world in Xuanhuang Realm.

"In the Human Temple, we have gained a lot, and we have obtained a method that allows the royal family who bear the fate and karma of humanity to continue to practice."

"My ability to cultivate to the Four-Leaf Realm at this time is also related to this."

This is when the opportunity arises and you can make rapid progress.
