In the void, Zhou Qing has been traveling for three months.
That's right, three months.
On the day when [Avenue Furnace] was just refreshed, Zhou Qing chose to set off, but three months passed in a blink of an eye, and he was still on the road.
During this period, the golden fingers were refreshed three more times, and the one-year locking position has been vacated, because the subsequent golden fingers are relatively ordinary and not as useful as [Avenue Furnace]. At first glance, it is impossible for him to travel to the earth. Generate help.
So Zhou Qing locked the [Dao Furnace].
In the past three months, Zhou Qing had traveled an extremely long distance, a distance that could not be described using existing distance units and could only be described as infinite.
Zhou Qing no longer knows where he is now. He has passed through worlds and encountered several void beasts.
When communicating with the latter, these strange beasts wandering in the void all day long have never heard of the Xuanhuang Realm, which shows how far away it is.
But so far, the world where the earth is located is still missing.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Qing's speed was very fast, always maintaining the ultimate speed. Every step he took crossed layers of void, which was an immeasurable distance in time and space.
Because although the Xuanhuang Seal fragment looks ordinary, when it leads Zhou Qing, it also travels through time and space, and it does not really fly slowly.
The Xuanhuang Seal fragments always maintained a speed that Zhou Qing could keep up with, and the jam was very extreme.
Looking at the endless, dark void, Zhou Qing really couldn't complain.
The resentment that should have been vented in the previous three months, and now Zhou Qing's heart has calmed down.
No matter what, I have been on the road for three months, and I can't give up now. Otherwise, these three months will be wasted, wouldn't it be even more of a loss?
Come all come.
Besides, he didn't believe that the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal could carry him around in the void for a hundred, a thousand, or even longer years.
Of course, Zhou Qing clearly knows that the void is infinite and vast, and it is still expanding all the time, with no boundaries at all.
At least Chunyang God and Zhenwu Sheng cannot reach the "boundary" that does not exist.
At his speed, the distance covered by traveling with all his strength for three months is indeed infinite, but compared with the entire void, it is actually nothing.
"But, can't you just bring me over with a swoosh?"
The Xuanhuang Seal fragment did not respond to Zhou Qing, but continued to move forward steadily without any change.
The fragment was inert and unable to communicate with people. In fact, Zhou Qing could not activate it and could not display any of its power.
After being infused with power, all actions of the Xuanhuang Seal fragments were spontaneous and had nothing to do with Zhou Qing. He had no way to intervene and could only follow along.
There was absolutely nothing Zhou Qing could do with this fragment, let alone refine it. It was indeed a fragment of the Weapon of Destiny. It was indeed special.
If this thing could be refined, even if it could only activate the slightest bit of power, then the current result would not be like this.
Now...
Zhou Qing had no choice but to keep following him.
This run lasted another three months, a total of half a year, and Zhou Qing's heart had become completely calm without any ripples.
It's only half a year. In terms of his lifespan, it's just a matter of closing and opening his eyes, which is not worth mentioning.
Anyway, after being promoted to the Yuan Realm, if you don't become a Taoist, you won't be able to make progress. There's no point in staying in seclusion in the Xuanhuang Realm. This half year should be used as a trip.
Besides, Zhou Qing is walking on the path of the Taoist Master to prepare for further progress. Everything is worth it.
If other Yuan Realm Great Heavenly Lords were given a chance to realize Taoism, let alone half a year, let them wander alone in the void for five thousand years, they would all be willing!
Finally, on this day half a year later, the Xuanhuang Seal fragments stopped and seemed to have reached their destination.
But Zhou Qing frowned, because the place where they stayed at this time was empty, let alone the world, not even a Void Stone existed.
Zhou Qing looked at the Xuanhuang Seal Fragment with suspicion. Is this thing lost?
The Xuanhuang Seal fragment did not move further. Zhou Qing tried to continue pouring power into it, but now the fragment reacted. It was actively absorbing Zhou Qing's power, and the suction force was very strong, as if it was trying to squeeze Zhou Qing dry. of.
Zhou Qing was not surprised but overjoyed. Doesn't this mean that the matter is not over yet?
After the Xuanhuang Seal fragment absorbed enough power, it bloomed with Xuanhuang light, and this light was bright and dim at times, with a unique frequency that seemed to be calling for something.
After a few breaths, in the void not far from the fragment, there was also a dark-yellow light, which gradually became more intense and formed a vortex.
Zhou Qing watched this scene intently, feeling a little surprised.
Through the black and yellow vortex, one can see a faint starry sky appearing behind the vortex.
It turns out there is a hidden world here!
Before the Xuanhuang Seal fragments called this world out, Zhou Qing was completely unaware of the hidden things here. It was too deep and perfect.
"Behind this is the world where the earth is..."
Zhou Qing stared at the black and yellow whirlpool, with thoughts in his mind.
From these things, we can see that the world of Zhou Qing's previous life was not that simple, and there may be deep secrets hidden there.
Otherwise, there is no need to hide it from anyone.
Only the fragments of the Black and Yellow Seal can guide people here and open the hidden passages to the world. So it is impossible for people without the fragments of the Black and Yellow Seal to discover the specialness of this place.
At least Tianzun, and even the Taoist master, cannot gain anything.
The Weapons of Destiny are already above the Dao Master. It is normal that the Dao Master cannot find the places that require the Weapons of Destiny to open.
But what secrets are there in the world where the earth is located that deserve to be hidden like this?
This matter is undoubtedly related to the one who carries the destiny. This is earth-shattering information.
But the problem is that Zhou Qing, as an earthling in his previous life, felt that the earth was very normal. Compared with worlds such as the Xuanhuang Realm, it could even be described as ordinary, and it was impossible to practice and achieve a life transition.
Technology is indeed an interesting thing. It allows living beings to do things that some practitioners cannot do in their ordinary bodies.
But it is not only the earth that has developed technology. In the vast void, there is also a world where spiritual practice and technology go hand in hand, and the technology is far more advanced than that of the earth, and they are not in the same dimension.
The only special feeling the earth gave Zhou Qing was the various myths and legends above.
In a world where there is no real practice and which seems to be isolated from the world at present, there are legends of top powerhouses from all walks of life in the void. This is still quite suspicious.
Since the earth world is isolated and closed, it stands to reason that there should not be any traces of other worlds of voidness and void in it.
The existence of those myths and legends proves one point.
In the past, those mythical characters most likely came to the earth, only to leave later, but the deeds they left behind evolved into myths and legends that have been passed down through the ages and lasted for a long time.
Why do powerful men in the void come and leave?
Why is it impossible to practice cultivation on earth?
Is the "person" who hides the world of the earth one person or a group of people?
While Zhou Qing was thinking, the Xuanhuang vortex also stabilized. Zhou Qing grabbed the Xuanhuang seal fragment and stepped into the vortex.
Most of his questions may be answered in this hidden world.
As for the mentality of being timid near hometown, Zhou Qing naturally does not have it.
Although he has not forgotten the memory of the earth, it is actually a bit distant.
After Zhou Qing entered the world behind the whirlpool, this passage immediately disappeared. The place returned to calm. No one knew that there was a world hidden here.
Deadly, dry, depressing...
When Zhou Qing came to the dark starry sky, his brows furrowed tightly at the first moment.
This world gave him a very, very bad feeling, as if he were a dead body with the body still intact but without any vitality.
"How could this happen?" Zhou Qing murmured.
His perception spread, and he had a panoramic view of the entire universe. He could instantly understand the situation of each starry sky.
Silent, desolate.
This universe has boundaries. From Zhou Qing's perspective at this moment, it is not big, and there is only one universe, and there is no diversity.
In the vast universe, most places have no traces of life, with the exception of one planet.
Zhou Qing looked in one direction, where there was the only life planet in the entire universe, that is:
Earth. In Zhou Qing's previous life, many people were speculating on whether humans were lonely in the vast starry sky, and whether there were other life planets beyond the earth.
There are countless fantasy works on the theme of extraterrestrial life. Everyone gives full play to their imagination and explains the extraterrestrial life they know.
However, until Zhou Qing traveled through time, humans on earth had not really discovered the existence of alien life, and they did not even fully understand the universe.
Everything is still in the stage of speculation and exploration.
Today, Zhou Qing, who has returned to his hometown as the Yuanjing Great Heavenly Lord, can accurately inform the earth's creatures and give them an answer to the question of whether there is other life in the universe.
That is: no.
Human beings are indeed lonely. The earth is the only living planet. They have no other partner to communicate with in this universe.
The most important thing is that in this world, there is no energy or inspiration from heaven and earth that can support practice.
Not only is there no vitality, spiritual energy, or essence, but even the power of the stars does not exist.
Like the sun, it does shine and can bring warmth and vitality to humans, but it does not contain the power of the sun that can be used for practice, it is just sunlight in the conventional sense.
Apart from the fact that there is not even a drop of energy and spiritual intelligence in the world, the laws of the Great Dao are also completely hidden in this world. Even though the destiny has been manifested in the void, it is still a place of no law.

This can no longer be described as the Age of Ending Dharma. It is simply the Age of Absolute Dharma, the Age of Nirvana, and the Age of Dao Destruction.
In this world, even if there are cultivation techniques, it is impossible to embark on the path of cultivation. No matter how good the talent is, no matter how strong the physique is, it is useless. It is impossible to master extraordinary power after practicing for a lifetime.
Mysterious and extraordinary soil does not exist here. There is only a ground made of steel, which prevents any extraordinary factors from germinating.
The only living planet, the impossible extraordinary, the completely hidden avenue, which makes this world seem extraordinary.
Is this a naturally occurring phenomenon, or is it caused by humans?
Zhou Qing is not sure. After all, although he was born in this world, strictly speaking, he did not realize the real side of this world until today.
Zhou Qing was not in a hurry to go to Earth. He went to some places in the universe to carefully check the situation here.
He observed stars, black holes, various cosmic substances, etc. one by one, hoping to see if he could find anything different from the normal world.
But the result made Zhou Qing a little puzzled.
The basic composition of all matter in this universe is very similar to that of matter in other worlds, except that it lacks a kind of energy that can make people go to the extraordinary. It is very inexplicable, and Zhou Qing cannot understand the truth.
After walking through several stars in the universe, Zhou Qing decided to go to the earth.
As the only living planet in the world, the earth must be the most special, and all kinds of secrets are likely to be hidden there.
solar system.
This place is the same as it was before Zhou Qing traveled through, nothing has changed, and several planets are still rotating in their orbits.
Zhou Qing stood outside the earth, looking at the blue planet with complicated eyes, but his heart gradually became peaceful.
This is his real hometown.
When I first traveled to the Xuanhuang Realm, I would also have the experience of dreaming about returning to Earth at midnight, but in the end the dream was empty when I woke up.
And today, he is really back.
Zhou Qing concealed his existence and did not stand openly outside the earth. Otherwise, if he was discovered, it would definitely cause a huge sensation on the entire earth.
He will become an alien by then...
No, Zhou Qing was hit by a car and traveled through time. He, a person who was supposed to be dead, suddenly reappeared. It was not an alien invasion, but a supernatural event. It was a terrifying resurrection.
Outside the earth, there are satellites and space stations. The power of technology is actually really impressive and very convenient. It has great potential, but there are also great limitations.
From Zhou Qing's current perspective, the earth does not actually have the conditions to develop some super technologies.
It’s not that human abilities and intelligence are inadequate, but that the environment is inadequate and is limited by materials and other factors.
After looking at the situation around the earth, Zhou Qing whispered:
"The picture of the future I saw has become a reality at this moment."
In the historical scene he saw in the future, he stood in this position and looked at the earth, and it was just as predicted.
"Earth."
Zhou Qing looked at the earth. The only living planet in the universe was also deserted and it was also impossible to practice cultivation.
At the same time, this is also a very ordinary-looking planet. The environment, ecology, etc. are no different from some planets in the universe.
There are many planets similar to the Earth in the universe, but only this one has given birth to life. This is very strange.
Zhou Qingren were in space and could directly see the specific conditions on the earth's surface.
The development progress of human civilization is also very strange.
Zhou Qing traveled through time for decades, which was certainly not enough time for human civilization to develop to the level of interstellar civilization.
But the time on earth is still in the year he traveled through, and not even a day has passed. What does this mean?
That's right, in earth time, only a few hours have passed since Zhou Qing traveled through time.
He crossed over on August 31st, around 10:30 in the morning. The current earth time is still the same year, same month and same day.
Zhou Qing was a bit dumbfounded. If he hadn't traveled across time after being hit by a car, and he simply disappeared for a few hours, no one would have noticed that he was missing.
In Zhou Qing's previous life, he was an older single young man who worked outside and lived alone. In this situation, let alone losing contact for a few hours, even if he lost contact for a few days, no one would notice except his colleagues.
Even if his colleagues find out that he has not shown up for a few days, they will probably think that he has run away.
Not to mention that there are only a few hours now. If it weren't for the special way of traveling, Zhou Qing would be able to seamlessly integrate into urban life after returning now.
At that time, Tianzun will return to the city...
Just by hearing the name, you can tell what kind of life this is!
Zhou Qing worked hard in the Xuanhuang world for decades. After returning, he found that he was really the "young man" he used to be. It was really full of drama.
"It seems that the time flow rate of the earth is different from that of the void as a whole, and the difference is not small."
Zhou Qing thoughtfully said: "In this way, maybe the time when the mythical stories on the earth happened can really match the time when some characters in the void were active."
In the history of the earth, there are some mythical characters from thousands of years ago. This time span is too short to be placed in the void. Thousands of years ago was still the end of the Dharma period. Many powerful people were nowhere to be seen. They should not have come. The earth leaves traces.
But since the time flow rate of both parties is different, then all this is possible.
Judging from today's time difference, the time that has passed in the past thousands of years on earth will definitely be extremely long.
Zhou Qing took one step forward, entered the interior of the earth, passed through the atmosphere, and arrived at a city on the surface. He took a deep breath and nodded.
"It's still the familiar smell, but it's also too dirty."
In this world without any energy from heaven and earth, the air is no longer just dirty to practitioners.
However, with Zhou Qing's cultivation, he doesn't care about these. It doesn't matter whether there is energy or not. He has endless power. Now Zhou Qing is more pursuing that familiar feeling.
To do this, he suppressed his senses and the supernatural.
Looking around, he saw people coming and going, busy traffic, various technological creations he was familiar with, and modern words appearing in front of his eyes and in his ears.
"What do you want to eat later?"
"Whatever, I can do it."
"Can I have something cold?"
"Yes."
"Then go have a big meal!"
"..."
Conversations like this happened constantly. Zhou Qing smiled knowingly, and long-standing memories emerged one after another.
I'm really back.
