What does Zhou Qing need to nurture now? Of course, it's the Great Dao! It can't be nurturing a child.

The great ways of heaven and earth all have a source and did not appear out of thin air. They all have their "roots" left before all phenomena, in the period before the creation of the heavens.

With the help of the Tai Chi diagram, Zhou Qing is able to achieve a state of existing in the past, present, and future simultaneously.

But in the "past", before all things, Zhou Qing's Tao roots did not exist.

He transformed into an innate god and demon, and the corresponding way appeared after the heavens, and he was also a rootless duckweed.

After a normal practitioner attains the status of the Lord of Tao, this step can be achieved naturally. The great Tao runs through all times and there is no need to worry.

But Zhou Qing's method is special after all. While absorbing nutrients from all directions, he also needs to strengthen himself from the root, taking a two-pronged approach.

The Tree of Destiny is probably used at this time.

The first time the Tree of Destiny gave birth to fruit that could help people carry their destiny, the second time, the effect of the power of giving birth was reduced by a level, but there was still no problem in giving birth to a root of Tao.

And precisely because of its second gestation, the level has been sharply reduced and it no longer involves the level of destiny, so there are no hidden dangers.

This is power within the scope of destiny. Within this range, destiny is omnipotent and naturally there will be no hidden dangers.

In addition to nurturing the root of Tao, Zhou Qing also speculated that the nurturing power of the Tree of Destiny might very well help him reconstruct the concept of existence from the long river of time and return to the present world.

Under the influence of this gestating force, perhaps an innate god and demon named Zhou Qing will appear and walk out of the avenue to create such a scene.

"The Tree of Destiny, the future Dao Fruit, and the power of the Tai Chi diagram to maintain my omnipresence in the past, present, and future, the puzzle pieces of my Dao Master's path should be complete."

Zhou Qing thought to himself that this path was relatively safe.

The worst result is failure to break through and then resurrection.

For an artifact of the level of the Tai Chi diagram, the boundary between life and death can be easily broken. As long as He is willing to take action, Zhou Qing can return at any time.

However, once the Tai Chi diagram is used, it means that the breakthrough has completely failed, so you still have to rely on yourself as much as possible.

"That's all I can teach you. It's up to you whether you want to break through this way."

The Taijitu deity said, "Besides using the power of the Supreme Being to maintain your state, I will not do anything else. If I do one more thing, it is not helping you, but harming you. You need to consider it carefully."

"You can use my opportunity to go out now, or you can prepare for it for a while and save it for later. I will stay in Xuandu Temple."

"However, I think you'd better make a decision as soon as possible, because some things are destined from the beginning and you can't escape them."

"Since your destiny was revealed, your practice has been smooth and you have never encountered any setbacks. But if you choose to escape at this time, then perhaps an accident will happen and force you to embark on this path."

Zhou Qing was startled when he heard this and asked:

"What do you mean, Senior?"

"This is your path, you should walk it. If you are unwilling to continue, then someone will naturally push you forward."

The Taijitu deity said, "Your previous progress was impeccable, so there is no need to put pressure on you to move forward, and I don't want to see some chores affect your practice. But if you stagnate, do you understand the consequences?"

"The Dao Masters have returned one after another. You know best about your own uniqueness. Do you really think that no Dao Master is interested in you?"

Zhou Qing was silent. He was certainly aware of his own uniqueness.

Even if those Taoist masters did not know about the golden finger, the fact that he had been manifested in destiny for about thirty years and had ascended directly from the fairyland to the Yuan realm showed that there was a shocking secret hidden inside.

In this era, the will of Heaven may become apparent, and the opportunity to carry the destiny of Heaven is extremely tempting.

A person like Zhou Qing will definitely be noticed by others, and even the Taoist master will regard him as a competitor.

What is the best way to deal with a future competitor who is still in the Yuan Realm? Of course, it is to make him have no future.

Zhou Qing has always been wary of those Taoist masters. This can be seen from the fact that he acted extremely low-key after the Taoist master returned.

After the Taoist masters returned, except for Tai Su, whom he had known for a long time, no other Taoist master came to see him. This made Zhou Qing confused, but he gradually felt more relaxed.

Perhaps these Taoist masters really have no interest in him.

But after hearing what Tai Chi Tu said, Zhou Qing finally understood.

It’s not that there were no Taoist masters interested in him, but his previous progress speed was satisfactory, so no one came to disturb him.

There is a force in the dark that is "escorting" him.

But once he chooses to stop and not move forward, Zhou Qing’s peaceful life will probably be disrupted in an instant after the Taoist master returns.

When you reach a certain height, it is no longer up to you whether to retreat or advance.

Zhou Qing asked, "Is this what the Grand Seniors meant?"

"You must first understand that you are not the only one who knows about your existence. Others also know about it. When we fought for the Destiny Fruit, we were not the only ones present." The Taijitu God said, "Everyone's attitude is not unified. They generally have the same opinion about you, but those people also have their own ideas. They all want to make you stand more in line with their own side based on your established path."

"You should know that I and the other three are unwilling to interfere too much with your choice, but it's different for the others. If you delay entering, they will definitely do something."

The three people mentioned in the Tai Chi diagram are naturally Tai Shang, Yuan Shi and Ling Bao.

Judging from Zhou Qing’s past life, the Three Purities would indeed not interfere with his choices and would take care of him, but how to go was up to him to decide.

But the Tai Chi diagram also clearly states that there are more than just the Three Pure Ones who are paying attention to Zhou Qing and carrying the destiny.

Basically, everyone who participated in the battle for the Destiny Fruit had some understanding of it and had their own demands.

If Zhou Qing stops and does not move forward for a short period of time, the Three Pure Ones will not care, but the same may be true for other people who bear the destiny.

By then, those Taoist masters who ignored Zhou Qing would probably have conflicts with him in various forms.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Qing smiled:

"It seems that I am really the protagonist on the stage. Everyone is paying attention to my performance."

“I hope my performance will satisfy them.”

Zhou Qing's face was calm, but his heart was a little cold.

Zhou Qing didn't care about the attention of Sanqing and others, but he couldn't ignore such a threat.

"Senior, I still have some doubts. Could you please answer them?"

"If you want to ask about the Tianming Sect, then there is no need to ask." The Taijitu deity said:

"It was indeed them who destroyed the Tianming Sect, but I don't know the details. I was not involved in this matter. In fact, I only found out that the Tianming Sect was dead after I came to the Xuanhuang Realm."

"I don't know what exactly caused the Tianming Sect to end up like this. He never told me."

Those who carry the destiny united to destroy the Destiny Sect. There was no need to summon the Destiny Soldiers as they did when they fought for the Destiny Fruit.

In the Battle of Fruits, everyone must fight with all their strength, but destroying the Destiny Sect is too easy for those who bear the Destiny, and there is no need to use the Destiny Soldiers.

However, the answer from Tai Chi Diagram was obviously not what Zhou Qing wanted. Even the Soldiers of Tianming Sect did not know the reason for the destruction of Tianming Sect, which made Zhou Qing quite disappointed.

What on earth did the Tianming Sect do wrong? Or what on earth happened to Xuanhuang Daozun? "Then could you please tell me, why did the great seniors give the Tianming Fruit to Xuanhuang Daozun after they had already obtained it?"

"That thing belongs to him. It is destined by fate." The Tai Chi diagram gave the answer: "You can't take it away. You must give it to him. Otherwise, fate will react, and then there will be quite serious consequences."

Zhou Qing was a little surprised, he heard some hidden meaning.

Even those who carry the destiny are unwilling to stand on the opposite side of destiny. Do they need to be cautious about destiny? This makes people think deeply. Could this information be related to the fact that those who exist in the destiny realm will definitely disappear after three eras? Zhou Qing asked again: "Xuanhuang Daozun, is there anything special about him? Why is the destiny fruit destined to belong to him?"

"It's not that he is special, but he is so special because he was chosen by destiny."

Taijitu Deity: "As for why he was chosen by destiny, it has always been a mystery."

How come you don't know anything! Zhou Qing was very disappointed with the Tai Chi diagram. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether "He" was hiding or really didn't know the answer.

But if you think about it carefully, Zhou Qing’s problems basically all involve destiny, and from the words in the Tai Chi diagram, it can be seen that those who bear destiny also have concerns about destiny.

It is normal that the Tai Chi diagram cannot know everything about things at this level.

As long as there are two or more people at the highest level, omniscience and omnipotence will never be achieved.

"Why did the senior come to Xuanhuang Realm, and why did I come to Xuanhuang Realm?"

But it doesn’t matter, Zhou Qing really has a lot of doubts.

The Tai Chi diagram can answer this question. He said:

"Because Xuan Huang Dao Zun was born in this world, those who are chosen by destiny will eventually attract another person who is chosen by destiny."

People of the same kind are attracted to each other. If Xuanhuang Daozun was an evil demon from the Nine Netherworld, then Zhou Qing would have probably traveled to the Nine Netherworld from the very beginning.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly. This answer was within his expectations and the same as he guessed.

"So I am the same as Xuan Huang Dao Zun?"

"No, strictly speaking, he is just a lucky man, but you are different. You are the one destined to take this path, and no one can change this."

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

Taijitu God: "After they came into contact with the Destiny Fruit, they foresaw your appearance. Everything was destined. Xuanhuang Daozun was an accident."

To put it in a simpler way, Xuanhuang Daozun is not as good as Zhouqing.

"What on earth am I..."

Zhou Qing fell into deep confusion. The Tai Chi diagram did not answer. He had already answered this question a long time ago, and he did not know either.

"Will there really be an opportunity to carry destiny in this era?"

"It is highly likely that they will, but the details are unknown. This is their perception."

"Senior, what exactly is the change in the heavens? Why is the life span of all living beings so much shorter than before? No one under the Dao Master or Dao God can ever achieve immortality again?"

Having caught hold of a destiny-level existence like the Tai Chi Diagram, Zhou Qing really wanted to answer all the questions that had accumulated in his heart at once.

"The change in the sky actually refers to that great war." The Taijitu deity replied:

"In the era before the Xuanhuang Era, the lifespan of all living beings did not decrease. Everything changed because of that great war."

This is consistent with the information Zhou Qing had obtained before, that is, the sharp reduction in the lifespan of all living beings occurred before the establishment of the Tianming Sect.

There was a period of time between the Fruit War and the breakthrough of Xuanhuang Daozun carrying the Destiny. And there was another period of time between the breakthrough and the establishment of the Tianming Sect and the legacy left by this Daozun. It was not all accomplished in a few days.

Therefore, the situation described by the Tai Chi diagram was basically the same as what Zhou Qing had previously understood.

After Zhou Qing left the Earth, he had some guesses that the change in the sky was due to the battle of destiny.

After all, before the establishment of the Tianming Sect, the only earth-shattering event that was unknown to the world was the battle for the Tianming Fruit.

Apart from those in the Heavenly Fate Realm, only Master Xuandu, Guangchengzi and Taoist Duobao knew about this battle.

But these three had been warned by the Three Pure Ones not to leak the matter, so under the premise that these three and their respective destiny soldiers did not tell anyone, even the many Taoist masters could not see the root cause of the change in the sky.

“Although that great war was not noticed by the world and took place in a realm of destiny unknown to anyone, its impact was extremely far-reaching.”

The Taijitu deity continued, "The battle of destiny is no joke. It will affect the foundation of the heavens. If they place the battlefield in the heavens, the void will be destroyed in an instant."

“But even if that battle took place in the realm of destiny, the aftermath would have changed the avenue and reshaped the rules of the heavens.”

"Unintentionally, the life span was affected, and the relevant rules changed. As a result, the so-called life span change occurred, and it became difficult for all living beings to achieve immortality."

Zhou Qing was shocked when he heard this.

Those who carry the destiny are truly ferocious.

They didn't do it on purpose at all. The aftermath of the fight alone permanently changed the underlying rules of the universe, affecting countless sentient beings without them noticing. It was truly terrifying.

Zhou Qing asked: "Those seniors, after the war, didn't you consider changing the rules of the Way of Longevity back?"

The Destiny Realm is fully capable of reshaping the rules of the Great Dao. If it can destroy, it can naturally also rebuild.

"The Demon King and the Human King were indeed prepared to do so, but before they took action, they realized that such a change in the way of life span was in line with the destiny of heaven. All living beings can live forever, but immortality is impossible. This is also a process that must be experienced, so they chose to follow the destiny."

"So that's how it is." Zhou Qing said he understood.

"If someone carries the destiny in the future, then when a new era is opened up, he can change the rules in this regard if he wishes."

The Taijitu deity said: "Then, immortality will reappear."

Before the Xuanhuang period, in the fairy world, immortals could live forever. When they reached the level of the Lord of Life, they basically had no worries about their lifespan. It was not like now, where everyone will eventually face the fate of sitting and dying.

Of course, even in such an era, if the destiny is hidden, most people will still choose to sleep and wait for the arrival of the next destiny era.

At that time, it is not a question of lifespan, but if you stay in an environment without the blessing of heaven for a long time, your Tao tree will eventually wither.

Destiny not only restricts the Taoist master, its rotation is also a restriction on all spirits. It is also a protection for heaven and earth. This is the greatest order in the world.

"Who can tell what the future bearer of destiny will think?"

Zhou Qing sighed and said, "Severing immortality is in line with the order of destiny. I'm afraid the new bearer of destiny is unwilling to disobey."

The Tai Chi diagram did not respond to this. No matter how the rules of longevity change, it has nothing to do with Him. He is truly eternal.

The life of the Tai Chi diagram can only be ended if it is forcibly destroyed by external forces, otherwise it will exist forever.

In fact, if possible, Zhou Qing hopes that the era of immortality will come again.

Because in this way, Lu Qingmo and the others won't have to worry about their lifespans. As long as they enter the realm of the Lord of Life, they can basically accompany Zhou Qing forever and become a fairy couple.

If immortality is not achieved, then even if Zhou Qing successfully attains the status of Taoist master and has many methods to extend the lifespan of Lu Qingmo and others, one day, all methods of extending life will become ineffective, and death at the end of one's life will be an inevitable outcome.

Unless they also become the Tao Lord, but this...

Basically impossible.

"Senior, when will the opportunity to carry destiny come?"

"When it appears, you will understand it naturally."

Those who understand will understand, right?

Zhou Qing actually wanted to ask Tai Chitu if he knew the origin of the golden finger.

However, this is different from the Tree of Destiny which is already known. The Golden Finger is Zhou Qing's biggest secret, so he can only think about this question and certainly cannot ask it out loud.

After a moment, the Tai Chi diagram deity asked Zhou Qing:

"What do you think?"

Zhou Qing said without hesitation: "After three days, please help me, senior."

The Tai Chi diagram deity spoke with admiration, saying, "Very good, you are very decisive. With this determination, your chances will increase."

"But this is no joke. You must not be reckless. You need to think carefully before making a decision."

"Thank you for your teachings, senior."

Zhou Qing did not waver: "But I have made up my mind."

"Achieving enlightenment is not only the result they want to see, but also something I desire very much. I am absolutely certain of this."

No matter what, only by becoming stronger can we be able to deal with more problems.

Besides, we have come to this point. There is no retreat but to move forward. Any hesitation will only make us appear cowardly and will not be good for our mood.
