When the world was first created, in the primordial chaos, without any living creatures, and in ignorance, some of the concepts that make up Zhou Qingzhi's existence also came here.

During this period, groups such as humans, demons, monsters, and beasts did not exist. These groups all appeared naturally or were created in the subsequent evolution of the heavens.

When the world was first created, only the sacred beings of heaven and earth were being conceived. They are currently the only group of life in the heavens.

The so-called sacredness of heaven and earth refers to the existence of the Three Pure Ones, the Demon King, the Taiyi Emperor, etc.

Even though the Demon King commands the demon race and the Three Pure Ones hold a prominent position among humans, the Demon King is not a demon and the Three Pure Ones are not humans; they are completely different concepts.

They were all sacred beings born from the interaction of the Great Dao at the time of the creation of the world, and nurtured by heaven and earth.

This sounds similar to the Holy Spirit of later generations, but because these sacred beings in heaven and earth have the legacy of the creation of the world, they are far more powerful than the Holy Spirit in terms of foundation.

These divine beings of heaven and earth are born powerful. Top divine beings like the Three Pure Ones are great celestial beings in the Yuan realm when they are born, second only to the Lord of Tao.

As for going higher, that's impossible.

Being born into the world means reaching the level of a Taoist master. There are only innate gods and demons. The Three Pure Ones and other sacred beings do not belong to the category of innate gods and demons. The Yuan realm is the limit.

However, the Three Pure Ones, as top-notch divine beings, are not inferior to the innate gods and demons. They have treasures that accompany the Great Dao and can look down on everyone.

Treasures like the Tai Chi Diagram, the Yuanshi Banner, and the Four Swords of Zhu Xian were not refined by the Three Pure Ones and other sacred beings, but were born together with them, nurtured by the Great Dao, and ultimately came into the world together.

The top saints are born as Yuanjing Great Celestial Lords, but their companion treasures are even more terrifying. They are divine weapons of the Dao corresponding to the level of Dao Lords and are more powerful than the saints themselves.

This kind of treasure can be called an innate treasure. It is most suitable for those top sacred things and can be called the lifeblood of life.

The Three Pure Ones and other innate saints later became the Lord of Tao, the God of Tao, or even the bearer of the Mandate of Heaven. They might possess more than one divine weapon of the Great Dao or weapon of the Mandate of Heaven.

But the most important thing is always their companion innate treasure.

When some of Zhou Qing's concepts came to this time point when the world was first created, these concepts also became concrete and became part of this era.

These concepts, transformed into a mountain, exist not in any world but in the void.

Zhou Qing's will was almost dissipated by the infinite information of the Mother River of Time, but a trace of it still remained.

In this mountain, the light of the soul was flickering, and Zhou Qing's mark of origin was so dim and blurry that it was almost invisible, but this was already the limit.

The origin mark stubbornly held on to its last existence. No matter how the infinite information of the Mother River of Time washed away it, it did not really collapse. Instead,...

Polish yourself.

The information in the Mother River of Time contains the essential mysteries of all things past, present and future. Some of it is purely useless information, but some contains the true meaning of Tao and is extremely precious.

Under such repeated washing, the true meaning of Tao gradually left traces on Zhou Qing's original mark, making the extremely dim mark seem to have a little more light.

Only after a thousand times of tempering can one obtain true gold, and only after ten thousand disasters can one achieve immortality! At this moment, the mountain formed after Zhou Qing's concept was materialized would not experience the passage of time.

After this part of the concept fell to this time point and formed this mountain, time froze. It will always belong here and stay at this time point forever.

There is no way forward and no door backward.

Because whether in the previous or the next time node, there exists another part of Zhou Qing's concept, which does not belong to the time and space of Mountain Zhou Qing, but to another "him".

If the long river of time is divided into countless nodes, then there is a "Zhou Qing" in each node.

The concepts separated from him are materialized at each time point, forming living beings or things.

Each "Zhou Qing" only exists in that one time node, each occupying a piece of time and space, eternal and unchanging. They seem to be closely connected, but there is always a little time between them and they cannot be connected.

This is the situation Zhou Qing is facing. He must break the barriers of time and space, connect each "Zhou Qing" one by one, reconnect the long river of time, and then reunite all the concepts that make up his existence so that he can return.

This is extremely difficult, because at this moment, Zhou Qing only has a little mark existing in countless time nodes, and that little mark has been washed away and suppressed by the Mother River of Time. It can no longer be said that he has any power, and even thinking is impossible.

The marks distributed at countless time nodes were extremely weak. Maintaining existence and a certain will was already the limit, not to mention breaking through the barriers of time and space? But this was something that had to be done. Only by breaking all shackles, transcending time, and transcending the Tao, could the final leap be achieved.

Countless time nodes and countless Zhou Qings have embodied countless things.

There are traces of him in the past, present and future, but the creatures in that period of time and space did not notice that there was one more person in their time and space.

Zhou Qing is integrated with the mother river of time. He exists in this world yet transcends it.

Countless Zhou Qings have come into contact with endless things, including powerful people from ancient, present and future.

After a living being attains the status of the Lord of Tao or the God of Tao, he or she will transcend the long river of time and only leave an image in the river, maintaining history and time.

After the Taoist master took on the destiny, even his shadow disappeared, and there was no trace of him in time and space.

Zhou Qing's current situation is exactly the opposite of this situation. Looking through time and space...

He is everywhere.

Time seemed to be passing, but to Zhou Qing, it seemed as if nothing had changed.

There is a question: when a person is in the past, present and future at the same time, is time moving or not for him?

Mostly it doesn't move.

However, despite this, the flushing of information by the mother river of time is real, time and time again, continuously.

Zhou Qing's pieces of origin imprints were under such erosion. The origin information of all living things in the past, present and future was gradually imprinted on his imprints, making his imprints, which were dim and thin to the extreme, gradually become solid.

There was an eternal light flickering in Zhou Qing's will, retaining the last bit of thinking ability.

"grow……"

The only thought of countless Zhou Qings is to strengthen themselves and make the original imprints grow.

Driven by this thought, each of Zhou Qing's original imprints began to actively devour the information in the Mother River of Time.

He refined and understood this information, then put it to good use and turned it into his own.

From the basics to the highest, from the mundane to the sacred, he absorbed all the information without leaving anything out.

He did not let go of the concept of a piece of stone, and the same was true for powerful practitioners. Even the conceptual information contained in the shadow of the Taoist master was absorbed by each mark.

The size of countless "Zhou Qing" began to grow, and they began to develop from conceptual fragments into complete concepts.

During this process, every time the origin mark grew stronger, Zhou Qing's consciousness would be restored a little more, allowing him to think more and improve himself more proactively.

This is something that would take endless years to accomplish, or even be impossible to accomplish.

But because Zhou Qing is now in the past, present and future at the same time, spanning the entire river of time, time has no meaning to him anymore.

The real world may have only passed a moment, but Zhou Qing has already experienced the entire ancient history! At this time, Zhou Qing was "born" before all things, the root of time, the history of the heavens, which is the time of his "real cultivation", and it is his history!

Therefore, something that would have required endless years of accumulation to accomplish was completed in an instant based on the speed of time in the real world.

This is extremely incredible, seemingly unbelievable and completely incomprehensible, but if you understand its essence, you will understand that this is how things should be.

It is extremely difficult for Zhou Qing to transcend the long river of time in his current state, and there is almost no hope.

However, when time is infinitely extended and space is infinitely expanded, then even the most unlikely things will eventually become inevitable, and everything impossible will become possible.

After endless accumulation of time, countless attempts, and countless elimination of wrong answers, Zhou Qing finally found the path to success.

He didn't try it once, but for eternity, from the past to the present and into the future.

The long river of time is Zhou Qing’s accumulation!

This is a miracle among miracles, a practice that is beyond the imagination of all living beings and lasted throughout the entire ancient history.

There are countless him at countless time points.

Moreover, each of them possesses an illusory fruit that is only a tiny bit away from becoming real. With just this tiny bit, they can step into a whole new world.

His Dao Fruit far surpasses the illusory Dao Fruit of the normal Yuan Realm, and it is almost impossible to see any illusion.

The iron rule that one cannot make any further progress after achieving the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Yuan Realm was broken by Zhou Qing at this time.

Countless Zhou Qings who were only a step away from becoming the Taoist Master appeared in the long river of time. The Zhou Qing in the first half of the long river of time looked downward, while the one in the second half looked back forward. The eyes of both sides finally fell on a time node.

That represents the present time node in reality, which is the time node when Zhou Qing died, and also the time and space to which he will return.

Countless Zhou Qings moved at this moment. They all took steps to reach the current time node.

The barrier of time and space is solid, isolating each time node.

"How can you stop me?"

"break!"

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

Zhou Qing and the others looked indifferent. They took a step forward, and the world turned upside down, as if there was a sound of the creation of the world.

Boom! The barriers of time and space were broken one after another, and each section of time and space was reconnected. Zhou Qing, who was upstream of the long river of time, went downstream, while Zhou Qing, who was downstream, went upstream.

Countless Zhou Qings acted at the same time, spanning endless time and space, forming double images, layer upon layer, and finally completely merged together, condensing into one, forming the only Zhou Qing, and the real Zhou Qing.

Looking at the long river of time again, whether upstream or downstream, the scattered concepts that constitute Zhou Qingzhi's existence no longer exist.

The Zhou Qings who were distributed in the past, present and future are now reunited at the current time node.

Endless unity, reorganization of concepts, and reappearance of the true self!

An existence named Zhou Qing, after experiencing death differentiation and the spread of concepts to endless time and space, finally reappeared in the world after traversing the entire ancient history.

At the source of time again, two Tao fruits flew out and hung above Zhou Qing's head. The power of the Tao fruits was supreme, pulling Zhou Qing, who was still in the long river of time, and trying to take him out of the long river of time.

He is a fellow practitioner of the Chunyang Yuan Realm and the Zhenwu Yuan Realm, so naturally he will have two Dao fruits.

Only after one has attained the status of Dao Master, the two Dao Fruits will become one, becoming the positive and negative of each other.

Zhou Qing slowly ascended, and suddenly, the surrounding space became dark, without any objects, concepts, information or directions.

Even time, cause and effect, and even the laws of the Dao, completely disappeared, as if entering absolute nothingness. The Dao fruit above Zhou Qing's head was swallowed by darkness, his body disappeared, and his consciousness and mind seemed to be annihilated, merging with this.

This is the last calamity that a master of Tao will face, the calamity of nothingness.

Every Taoist master has a different way of attaining enlightenment, and they have faced various difficulties, which are related to the path they have chosen. There is no fixed number of difficulties in attaining enlightenment.

If one tries to prove the truth through faith, he will sink in his faith. If one tries to prove the truth through luck, he will be harmed by his luck. For those whose path to proving the truth has nothing to do with faith and luck, the calamity of proving the truth will not be related to these two things.

An experience like Zhou Qing's is of course unique. Other Taoist masters who have taken this step must not have experienced the same situation as him.

Zhou Qing's three-step path to becoming the Taoist master only applies to him and only he can take it.

However, among all those who have achieved the Tao through different paths in ancient and modern times, there is one calamity that everyone will experience.

If living beings want to jump out of the barriers and stand outside the Tao, then in the process they will pass through a "zone" of absolute nothingness.

This is absolute nothingness, without direction, without avenue, and absolutely empty. Your power attacking here will not cause the slightest fluctuation.

This is the last "journey" before you leave the Tao, and everyone must go through it. Therefore, this is a calamity that you will encounter no matter how you try to become a Taoist master.

Only by breaking it or finding the "exit" can one successfully become the master of Taoism.

Many people who have attained enlightenment were stuck by this calamity and eventually completely assimilated and died. But for Zhou Qing, this hurdle was not difficult to overcome.

In the dark, he seemed to sense the existence of a tiny crack. Behind the crack was the outside of the Tao. Outside the Tao, there was also something attracting Zhou Qing.

And this so-called gap is actually a chance to transcend! What attracted Zhou Qing was his avenue.

As mentioned before, other witnesses are the masters of the Tao. It is people who transcend first and then lead the Tao to sublime.

But as an innate god and demon, Zhou Qing's path had long been outside the Tao. Strictly speaking, he was the one who had hindered his own path before.

At this moment, Zhou Qing was in the process of transcendence. This area of ​​nothingness seemed boundless and annihilated everything, but his connection with his own avenue always existed.

Through this connection, Zhou Qing will never be lost and indulged in this. The road leading to the outside world has always existed and is clearly visible to him.

This final calamity, which had caused many people to fail, was not difficult at all for Zhou Qing.

Boom! The Dao outside the Dao bombarded, and Zhou Qing also exerted force inside at the same time. With the cooperation between inside and outside, the tiny gap became a breakthrough point, and the entire void was shattered inch by inch.

Endless light appeared in front of Zhou Qing's eyes. He had seen this scene for a moment when he was promoted to the fourth calamity transcendent immortal. Now it came into his sight.

The sea of ​​avenues stretches across the country, it is truly boundless, with no end in sight.

The avenues are arranged and combined in an orderly manner, forming the unified concept of "avenue".

Outside the Tao!

Zhou Qing has truly established himself in this area. He is no longer like he was the last time he came here when he transcended into immortality. He could not bear it after just one look and had to return to the Tao.

After Zhou Qing jumped out of the barriers and transcended the Great Dao, the two Dao fruits above his head overlapped and merged into one in an instant.

The last trace of illusion on the Dao Fruit also completely disappeared and completely transformed into reality.

Condensing Dao Fruit, achieving Dao Master! The two Dao Fruits merged into one, each side had Dao patterns, completely different, but complementing each other, being the positive and negative of each other.

He broke through both the Pure Yang Yuan Realm and the Zhenwu Yuan Realm, proving the positive and negative Dao in one fell swoop. This is the Dao Master! Even at the Dao Master level, Zhou Qing continued his habit of breaking through in the past. Once he broke through, he broke through multiple realms in a row, which was even more mythical than a myth!

At this moment, no matter how desolate the outside of the Tao was, no matter how terrifying the sea of ​​​​the Tao was, it could no longer have any impact on Zhou Qing. He would always stand outside the Tao and would never retreat.

Boom!

The heavenly sound of the Great Dao rang out, and in the sea of ​​Great Dao, one Great Dao completed its final transformation and became truly on par with the other Great Daos of Heaven and Earth, able to perfectly participate in the operation of the Great Dao.

Moreover, this path is extremely special. It is too vast and too boundless. The avenue begins to rearrange itself at this moment. This new path has the potential to encompass all paths and swallow up nothingness.

The shadows of all paths, the power of all paths, can all be found in this new avenue.

Tolerate everything, accommodate all norms, and follow the way of Hunyuan Wuji!

After normal Taoist masters and Taoist gods attain enlightenment, their Tao will not merge into the ocean of the Tao, but will exist independently.

Because it is completely controlled by the Dao Lord and Dao Gods, independent of the Dao of all heavens and myriad ways, with their own will, which is not unified with the Dao of Heaven and Earth. The objectively existing Dao of Heaven and Earth does not need its own will.

Only when the Dao Lords and Dao Gods sink into eternal depravity and their consciousness dissipates over the long years, will their Dao be absorbed into the sea of ​​Dao and become a part of the Dao of heaven and earth, strengthening all Daos in the heavens.

After Zhou Qing attained enlightenment, the reason why his Tao became like this was naturally because he was now an innate god and demon, and had been a part of the Tao of heaven and earth from the beginning.

This is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Why don't the innate gods and demons sink into eternal depravity and lose their self-consciousness like the Dao Lords and Dao Gods? One of the reasons is that their Dao was located in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth from the beginning.

From then on, Zhou Qing could exist forever. Whether destiny changed or not would not affect him, and he achieved true immortality.

The innate god and demon. The master of the great way. Zhou Qing!
