Lu Qingmo's words were powerful and contained an indestructible determination.

If something really happened to Zhou Qing, she was really willing to wait and would find ways to survive until the end of her life.

Zhou Qing looked at the starry sky, which was deep and boundless. Compared with the universe, living beings were too small.

Even though the Pure Yang God and the True Martial Saint can destroy the universe and recreate it with a wave of their hands, compared with the existence of the universe, the lifespan of the Heavenly Venerable is too short.

Before the celestial change, immortals could live forever, and the Lord of Life would have no worries about his lifespan. The Lord of Heaven could completely overlook the birth and death of the world, the creation and end of the universe, and it would be eternal and immortal.

But it’s no longer possible now. Even the Heavenly Venerable who is invincible in the Great Dao will face the problem of sitting in meditation and passing away.

A natural disaster shortens the lifespan of all living beings. Only by becoming a Taoist master can one escape the dilemma of lifespan.

If Zhou Qing does not break through, then even if he can live peacefully forever, he will eventually die of old age.

Of course, if one could transform into a semi-innate life before his lifespan ran out, then he would be able to escape this predicament.

However, the efficiency of transforming into semi-innate life is too slow. Zhou Qing has not even achieved one ten-thousandth of the progress so far.

At this efficiency, it is still unclear whether it can be completed in our lifetime.

Setting foot on the path of cultivation, fighting for life with the heavens, howling across the world, traversing through the ages, mastering invincible power but only watching oneself approach death step by step, how regrettable it is? Zhou Qing doesn't want to go to that step, the beauty's gray hair, the hero's old age, is the greatest sorrow in the world, he doesn't want such sadness to appear on himself and the people around him.

Only by making breakthroughs and possessing greater strength can we find more solutions to these problems.

He also wanted to see the scenery at a higher altitude.

Zhou Qing also wanted to have his own place in the area outside the avenue.

Zhou Qing also wanted to set foot on the top of the heavens, and he was unwilling to act based on anyone's attitude.

At the same time, the Dao of Yuanjing Great Heavenly Venerable has expanded to all areas within the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Zhou Qing can feel the feeling of restraint and confinement at all times.

He himself also longs for a breakthrough, longs to break all constraints and truly jump out.

This is not greed, nor desire, but the instinct of living beings, the instinct of the way of self.

What's more, although no one forced Zhou Qing to practice and break through, from what he saw and heard on Earth, everything was already destined.

The future has been planned a long time ago, and everything has a traceable path.

The fruit of destiny chose Xuanhuang Daozun. No matter how hard others tried to take it away, they couldn't. Even if he didn't want it, they would come to him on their own initiative. Then he carried the destiny and opened up a new era.

This is destiny.

The Tree of Destiny fell into Zhou Qing's hands. Thousands of years ago, those who carried the destiny had already "seen" this scene.

Zhou Qing also has a "destiny".

How could Zhou Qing be allowed to stop at this point in his destiny? Even if he didn't want to go, there would be a force that would push him forward! Zhou Qing had reason to believe that if he chose to give up this opportunity to become a Taoist master, his future would definitely not be peaceful.

It is likely that all sorts of things will happen to keep him going.

If you want to truly control your own destiny and understand all the truths hidden in the dark, you must keep moving forward and making breakthroughs. This is the only solution.

Trying to escape everything by stopping practicing is not a long-term solution, but may harm both yourself and others.

Escaping will never solve the problem, it has always been like this.

His thoughts raced, then gradually calmed down. Zhou Qing said:

"Nothing in the world is risk-free. If you can embark on the path of Taoism, you must take certain risks, which is acceptable."

"I will succeed."

Zhou Qing's expression was firm and his voice was powerful, as if he was making a declaration and also a promise.

During the conversation with Lu Qingmo, Zhou Qing strengthened his belief and no longer had any hesitation about that future.

Take a big step forward and face all problems bravely.

Now that it has come to this, there is no reason to retreat!

Lu Qingmo: "I believe in you. You have never let anyone down, and you will never fail."

Zhou Qing looked at Lu Qingmo with bright eyes and said, "Aunt Mo, no matter what the final result of my breakthrough is, you must have confidence in me. No matter how long it takes, I will come back."

"I have a magical power. For me, death is not the end. Even if I die today, I will have a chance to be resurrected in the future."

"So, even if something unspeakable really happened to me, you don't need to despair. Death cannot hold me back forever."

"If I cannot return in this era, then that day will surely come in the future. You wait for me."

The resurrection ability of [Immortal Light of the Soul] is Zhou Qing's trump card and an insurance. He is not acting rashly.

Lu Qingmo felt relieved when she heard this. Although this matter sounded a little unbelievable, Lu Qingmo was sure that Zhou Qing would not lie to her about such a thing.

"I'll always be waiting for you."

The two returned to the Xuanhuang Life Source, and Zhou Qing accompanied Lu Qingmo for a full five days.

Although he had already decided to take that path in the future, there was no need to rush, because the golden finger Zhou Qing possessed this month was of no help to him in becoming a Taoist master, and it could not give him any hints.

According to the rules and inferences Zhou Qing drew, the things represented by the three predicted future pictures all have corresponding golden fingers to cooperate with.

Just as [You Can't See Me] helped in finding the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal, [Ghost of History] and [Furnace of the Great Dao] also helped Zhou Qing in his trip to the Earth.

In order for the Tai Chi diagram to kill him, there should have been a special golden finger to cooperate.

There are still a few days left before the gold finger refresh next month, so Zhou Qing has to wait and not rush.

During those five days, Zhou Qing and Lu Qingmo were inseparable, but in the end it was Lu Qingmo who drove him away.

"Go and say goodbye to Ruoyue and the others. I need to practice."

Lu Qingmo said seriously, "That withered sun brought me a lot of insights, but I haven't had time to digest them. It has already been delayed for five days. I can't delay any longer."

Zhou Qing secretly complained: When a sage is in a state of being, he speaks in a tough manner.

"well."

Zhou Qing sighed: "After you use me, you kick me away. Aunt Mo, you are too cruel."

"You are the Heavenly Lord, and I am just an immortal. I am really no match for you." Lu Qingmo was helpless.

In any aspect, in any battle, how could an immortal possibly compete with the Heavenly Lord? She surrendered.

Lu Qingmo continued, "I didn't lie to you. I really have accumulated a lot of insights that need to be sorted out."

The effect of practicing dual cultivation with a Yuan Realm Great Celestial Venerable was so great that the insights into the Dao that had accumulated in Lu Qingmo's body could no longer be contained and were about to burst out.

What can Zhou Qing do?

You can only choose to be obedient.

After all, he couldn't go against a woman's will.

He left Lu Qingmo, but did not go to find Bai Ruoyue and the others immediately. Instead, he started from Dong Zhou and headed west.

Zhou Qing carefully sensed the cause and effect connected to himself. On his way west, he would go and see anyone and anything that was cause and effect related to him.

Let’s see what the cause and effect relationship is with him.

Zhou Qing's intuition told him that it would be beneficial to do this on the eve of embarking on the path of becoming a Taoist master.

After Zhou Qing entered the former territory of Southern Jin, he discovered Ao Xuanwei's trace through causal perception.

"Why did you get here?" Zhou Qing was a little confused.

Like Lu Qingmo, Ao Xuanwei also worked hard to practice after becoming an immortal and did not slack off.

Before their destiny is revealed, immortals usually stay in their own temples and practice hard, using the years to polish themselves and improve their cultivation.

This method cannot be said to be wrong, because the environment of heaven and earth at that time was not good, and there were few treasures that were helpful to immortals. Going out and about was often a waste of time, so it was better to go into seclusion.

But now it is obviously different. The world is full of vitality and opportunities are endless. Traveling around the world, exploring various treasures and secret places, and competing for opportunities can bring far more rewards than practicing hard in seclusion alone.

An opportunity might save you a lot of hard work.

This is the time when dragons and snakes rise from the land. Throwing yourself into the tide of the times and taking advantage of the momentum is the fastest way to practice.

Following the law of cause and effect, Zhou Qing came to a large swamp.

Zhou Qing's gaze penetrated time and space and saw the internal scene of the small world.

This small world is about the size of the sun in Zhou Qing’s previous life. It is filled with a vast ocean and dotted with islands.

In this small world, there are many practitioners, including those in the two realms of heaven and earth, immortals, and even three life masters.

Among the native creatures of the Xuanhuang Realm, there are not many who have been promoted to the Lord of Life. However, this world is special after all, and there are many outsiders.

Even if there are only two or three Life Lords crossing over from one world, the number of worlds is large, and the number of Life Lords gathered here is not a small number.

Zhou Qing took in the situation of the entire small world, including what the biggest opportunity was, which he also discovered directly.

This small world is somewhat special. There are natural restrictions that have a strong suppressive force on perception ability, and it also has the power to ban air. Therefore, the efficiency of people exploring inside is not high, at least it is not in line with their cultivation level.

But he certainly couldn't suppress Zhou Qing.

Ao Xuanwei is traveling alone on the ocean. As a real dragon, she is more adaptable to such an environment.

However, on her route, there was a Life Master who was collecting a treasure, which would take some time. With Ao Xuanwei's speed, the two would inevitably run into each other.

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

Sure enough, after only a quarter of an hour or so, Ao Xuanwei saw the Lord of Life on an island, and the other party naturally discovered her as well.

Ao Xuanwei looked into the distance. The Lord of Life glanced at her and said in a cold voice:

“Get lost!”

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene. So arrogant? "Master Chiyu from the Spirit Crane Realm."

"You know who I am, but why don't you leave?" Akabane Shinjun said, "If you don't want to leave, then stay here forever."

Zhou Qing didn't know that this Chiyu Zhenjun was just a small life-controlling master, and he was not qualified to deliver intelligence to him.

But Zhou Qing really disliked the attitude of this little Lord of Destiny.

Time passed in Zhou Qing's eyes as he investigated the fate of Master Chiyu and gained insight into his origins.

In front of a great celestial master in the Yuan realm, if a life-controlling master does not have relevant protection, then there will be no secrets.

This is a visitor from a great world. After his destiny was revealed, he traveled through the void and accidentally discovered the Xuanhuang Realm, and then entered here to practice.

No wonder you don’t know Ao Xuanwei and don’t know that I am protecting her.

Zhou Qing is a legend and myth among contemporary creatures. Many people know him, and the information about the people around him is no secret.

But this is not something that everyone can know. For masters like this who come from other worlds, if they don’t pay attention to this aspect, they really won’t know it.

Akabane Shinjun can't be considered a demon, but he certainly can't be said to be a good person either.

Unless a high-level practitioner is extremely good or extremely evil, it is difficult to define him as good or bad. There is no need to label him as good or bad.

Ao Xuanwei looked at Master Chiyu and said calmly:

"As expected of you, you are the Lord of Life. You are so domineering. I believe you were also so domineering when you killed eighteen snow dragons in the Hundred Thousand Snow Mountains."

Akabane Shinjun: "Are you, a female dragon, related to the Snow Dragon Clan?"

"Forget it. I didn't want to kill anyone, but since you want to die, I'll help you."

"I really should fulfill your wish."

The voice of a third person sounded, and Zhou Qing appeared beside Ao Xuanwei.

He looked at Master Chiyu, whose expression had changed drastically. Before he could say anything, Zhou Qing's eyes moved, and a Leaf Palm Life Master was annihilated bit by bit and turned into dust.

It was a clean and quick death, and even Zhou Qing couldn't withstand a glance from him.

Zhou Qing had no interest in saying anything more to a Lord of Life. At his level, what qualifications did he have to talk to him?

He was originally an outsider who came to the Xuanhuang Realm to steal resources. Not only did he not act low-key, he was also preparing to attack Ao Xuanwei. He had no other way but death.

Zhou Qing looked at Ao Xuanwei again and said seriously:

"You are too reckless. Although this is only a Leaf Palm Life Master, it is not something that the Immortal Realm can fight against."

"You want to avenge the Snow Dragons, that's fine, but you have to find a good opportunity. It's best to call someone directly. You can't take risks yourself."

Ao Xuanwei is now also a three-tribulation immortal, and her cultivation is slightly lower than Lu Qingmo's, but how could a three-tribulation immortal be a match for the Lord of Life.

Of course, the treatment Zhou Qing gave to Lu Qingmo was naturally also given to Ao Xuanwei, and both parties were equal. The same was true for Bai Ruoyue. In this regard, Zhou Qing always treated everyone equally.

But the problem is that Zhou Qing secretly made the arrangements and backup plans left on them to ensure their safety, including giving them protective gear, and concealed some of it.

This is to prevent them from taking advantage of their own means of self-protection and disregarding all dangers and losing their sense of caution when traveling around the world.

Ao Xuanwei's behavior just now was indeed extremely reckless. She was playing with her own life. Zhou Qing strongly disapproved of her doing such a thing.

Seeing Zhou Qing's serious expression, Ao Xuanwei smiled and took his arm, saying, "I was careless. I will pay attention next time. No, there won't be a next time."

After making the promise, Ao Xuanwei began to explain: "Actually, I have a trump card. By chance, I got a puppet at the level of Palm of Life Venerable to recognize it as its master. That puppet is stronger than Master Chiyu, and he can't do anything to me."

As she spoke, Ao Xuanwei took out the puppet she had mentioned. The aura of this puppet was about that of the Three-Leaf Palm Life Master, and much stronger than that of the Red Feather Master.

Puppets in the realm of fate have already reached a very high level of spirituality, their wisdom is no different from that of ordinary people, and they have almost no shortcomings.

The puppet of the Three-Leaf Palm Life Lord can indeed ensure Ao Xuanwei's safety when facing a cultivator of the One-Leaf Palm Life Lord.

After taking a look at the puppet, Zhou Qing's expression relaxed.

Since Ao Xuanwei has a trump card, then her behavior just now is understandable and not considered risky.

Zhou Qing is against playing with her own life, but he also supports Ao Xuanwei to experience controllable dangers and hone herself.

"That was me talking too much."

Ao Xuanwei smiled brightly: "No way, I'm willing to listen to everything you say."

Zhou Qing cared about her, and Ao Xuanwei could tell that clearly, so she would naturally not be ungrateful.

She went on to say, "I didn't expect you to come here. I haven't heard from you in the past few years."

"I just came back from the void and did something very important." Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I was looking for you and found you here, so I came here."

"Is there anything urgent? Then let's leave here first." Ao Xuanwei said.

“No need to leave.”

Zhou Qing looked towards the vast sea and said, "This small world has bred some good opportunities, which will be of great benefit to you. Let's go and collect these opportunities."

"I'm already here."

Even a mosquito's leg is meat. Having entered a mountain of treasures, how can you return empty-handed?

"Okay." Ao Xuanwei agreed happily.

"I also want to experience the feeling of being protected by the Great Celestial Lord."

Ao Xuanwei was very willing to travel with Zhou Qing to such a place.

Zhou Qing smiled and pointed forward:

"Your Highness, please."

Zhou Qing knew all the opportunities in this small world. With him leading the way, Ao Xuanwei had the most perfect "adventure" experience.

The best thing here was a water-related treasure that barely touched the Creator's reach, and was taken by Ao Xuanwei.

This is the beauty of the initial period of destiny. In the future, competition will be extremely fierce. Those with a cultivation level lower than that of the Creator may not even have the opportunity to qualify for admission. But at this time, even those with a lower realm will have a chance to obtain it.

While traveling in this small world, Zhou Qing also told Ao Xuanwei that he would embark on his own path as a Taoist master, which would involve great risks.

She was very worried, but after knowing that Zhou Qing had made the decision, Ao Xuanwei also expressed support and trust.

“On the road of the great road, there is only progress and no retreat. We are on this road and we all hope to keep going until the end.”

Ao Xuanwei encouraged: "You have hope of success, so don't miss it. Just go for it. Don't worry about us. I believe you will succeed."

Since we are fellow Taoists, we shouldn’t be a burden at the critical moment.
