Chapter 1096 Refining the World
Zhou Qing came to Kunlun Mountain again.
A sacred tree that covered the multiverse once grew here. Although it is invisible now, it still exists.
Zhou Qing tried his best to find no trace of the Tree of Destiny. After it merged with the world, it seemed to have completely disappeared.
Zhou Qing is determined to obtain the Tree of Destiny. This thing is very likely to be related to his attainment of Taoism, so he cannot miss it.
Understanding the lost history may be one of his intentions for this trip to Earth, but the most important thing is the existence of the Tree of Destiny.
But Sanqing also said that even if the Taoist master destroyed this world, don't even think about finding and taking away the Tree of Destiny.
How to do this?
Regarding this issue, Zhou Qing actually already has an idea.
"You are indeed waiting for me."
Zhou Qing murmured softly, and a small stove appeared in his hand.
This is the golden finger he is currently targeting, [Avenue Furnace].
The furnace of the avenue can smelt the avenue and return it to its origins.
The Tree of Destiny is integrated into this world and cannot be discovered by conventional means.
The ability of the Avenue Furnace can be said to be perfect for such a situation.
All I can say is that these things have already been arranged, and Golden Finger is really "random".
The Tree of Destiny is waiting for someone who can take it away. It already knows that the Lord cannot take it away by force, but Zhou Qing, who has the Great Dao Furnace, has a high probability of doing this.
If you want to say that the person waiting for the Tree of Destiny is not Zhou Qing, then no one will believe it.
However, Zhou Qing was a little hesitant. Of course he wanted the Tree of Destiny, but if he used the Great Avenue Furnace to return to his roots, the tree of destiny would be harmed in the process of reappearing, which was something Zhou Qing did not want to see.
This is Zhou Qing's hometown after all. It would be a sin if it were destroyed by his own hands.
"Let's try it first, I'll be more careful later."
Zhou Qing no longer hesitated and threw the Dao Furnace. This mysterious artifact grew in size in the wind, covering the sky and the sun in an instant. But this was not the 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 the point where it was larger than the universe.
Such a thing is not unusual at all for a Yuan Realm Great Heavenly Lord.
It's just a universe. If the Yuan Realm Great Heavenly Lord is willing, he can use it as marbles to play with.
At the same time, the humans on the earth were not aware of the problem. They lived as usual, completely unaware that there was a great deity who was exercising great supernatural powers. After all, they were just billions of mortals. It was extremely easy for Zhou Qing to block their senses.
Then the entire universe fell into the furnace of the avenue, and the fire of the avenue appeared in the furnace and burned blazingly.
Zhou Qing wants to refine this universe!
It sounds like this is really 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 a rain of light and merged with the whole world. If you want to let it reappear now, then naturally every corner of the world cannot be let go.
Every location in this world carries a part of the Tree of Destiny. If anything is missing, the final Tree of Destiny will not be complete.
Of course, Zhou Qing doesn't really want to destroy the world, he is also prepared.
Zhou Qing concentrated on controlling the Dao Furnace, trying his best to preserve the universe while smelting the Tree of Destiny.
As the fire of the avenue rose, the world quickly reacted.
A little bit of colorful light emerged out of thin air, endless, like a sea of brilliant stars.
These colored lights are exactly the same as those that appeared after the Tree of Destiny collapsed. The Great Avenue Furnace is indeed a treasure used at this time.
The fire of the avenue surged, and the colorful light spots gradually gathered together during this smelting, becoming a light group.
This process continues, and the colorful light is endless and gorgeous.
After the light spot representing the Tree of Destiny was smelted out, the universe was not further damaged and remained intact.
Zhou Qing felt it briefly, and then his eyes couldn't help but become weird.
This world remains intact in the fire of the avenue, firstly because he, the master of the avenue furnace, does not want to destroy it, and secondly because...
There is really no more "oil and water" to squeeze out of this world.
The Tree of Destiny has taken root in this world for endless years, and later completely integrated with this world, and has swallowed up all avenues, spiritual opportunities, etc.
Now the Avenue Furnace can't refine any two ounces of oil from it.
This is really...
A quarter of an hour later, no more light spots appeared in the entire universe, and the Tree of Destiny was reshaped in the furnace of the avenue. The sacred tree that had been integrated into this world returned to its roots at this moment, but at this point, things were not over.
The fire of the avenue became more and more intense, and the tree of destiny melted under such scorching heat.
Another quarter of an hour later, a colorful, solid-like light group appeared in the avenue furnace.
At this point, the Dao Furnace was slowly extinguished, and Zhou Qing controlled it to become smaller and "vomit" the universe out.
Zhou Qing first observed the world and found that it was not harmed and everything was as usual. What he was worried about before did not happen, which made him nod with satisfaction.
"I'm a master of micromanaging."
He originally planned to "cure" the universe if there was any damage during the smelting process.
Completing a universe is very simple for Zhou Qing, but now that there is no such accident, it is naturally the best.
Zhou Qing took out the colored light group from the Avenue Furnace. This object did not have an entity, but was made up of intertwined colored lights.
After careful sensing, Zhou Qing was a little confused:
"What is this?"
The items smelted in the Avenue Furnace will not be prompted with specific information, and Zhou Qing can only rely on Zhou Qing to make his own judgment.
But Zhou Qing really couldn't see the function of this light group.
"Is it something similar to the Fruit of Destiny, but with a lower grade and effect than the Fruit of Destiny?"
"How can it help me attain Taoism?"
Zhou Qing rubbed the ball of light, thinking a lot.
He currently has no idea how to use this thing. He will probably not know until he is "killed" by Tai Chi Tu.
But this object is the biggest purpose of Goldfinger guiding him to the earth. There is no doubt about this, and Zhou Qing is extremely convinced.
At the same time, Zhou Qing is also very concerned about the fact that since the refining destiny fruit carries the destiny, there will be flaws.
So will there be similar hidden dangers when using this light group?
After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing shook his head:
"No matter what, it's impossible to give up on this thing. Let's look at it later."
After collecting the essence of the Great Avenue Furnace and the Tree of Destiny, Zhou Qing's trip to Earth has basically been completed.
Not only did I get the Tree of Destiny, but I also learned about a hidden history and many great secrets. It was a worthwhile trip.
Zhou Qing looked at the earth. The humans above had no idea what the world had just experienced.
If Zhou Qing had made a single mistake just now, the universe would have been reduced to slag by him.
It can only be said that it is fortunate that Zhou Qing did not enter the devil's path after time travel, and he still has a bottom line as a human being. Otherwise, no one knows how the world will be destroyed after he returns to earth.
In fact, looking at all Zhou Qing's experiences from time travel to now, it is really possible for him to make mistakes and fall into the devil's path.
After all, when he was still weak, Zhou Qing had many contacts with the Demon Sect and was attracted by it.
If I had not resisted the temptation and made other choices at that time, then naturally everything would be different now.
On the road of life, many times a choice determines your life.
"Without the Tree of Destiny that swallows everything, the world may regain its vitality in the future."
Zhou Qing thought silently: "It is very likely that the broken path of practice will reappear, and mankind will once again move toward mythology."
There is no shortage of practice scriptures on the earth. Although many of the past practices have been lost, there are also many that have been passed down.
The only thing missing is an environment in which to practice.
In the past, it was impossible to practice here because of the Tree of Destiny. Now that this tree has been taken away by Zhou Qing, many dead things will slowly glow with new vitality.
However, that cannot be achieved in a short time. It may take thousands of years, or even longer, to happen. It is hard to say whether humans on earth can wait until that day.
Compared with the time scale of the universe, ordinary human beings are too small.
Not to mention ten thousand years or even longer, humans on earth may one day destroy themselves. "If that day really comes, will it be the spiritual revival of the interstellar era?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing smiled, took out the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal, and prepared to leave.
He has witnessed everything that should be known, and he has already taken what should be obtained.
There may be other secrets hidden on the earth. For example, when the Tree of Destiny cannot be discovered by the Taoist, why does Taoist Xuanhuang block the world?
But those secrets are not something Zhou Qing can explore now. Judging from the refresh of the golden finger, we can know that it is over now.
Everything that needs to be done has been done, so there is no need for Zhou Qing to stay here any longer.
The key point is that the time flow speeds of the earth world and the void are different, and the gap is huge.
Needless to say, even if Zhou Qing stayed on Earth for one more day, many years would probably have passed outside.
In order to prevent accidents from happening due to the large difference in time flow rate, Zhou Qing cannot stay here for a long time.
He does recognize that the earth is his hometown, but there are too many things in the Xuanhuang Realm that Zhou Qing cannot let go of, and he cannot give up.
Besides, with the Xuanhuang Seal fragments in hand, if Zhou Qing wants to come back one day, he can do so at any time.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Injecting power into the Xuanhuang Seal fragments, the Xuanhuang vortex appeared again.
Zhou Qing took one last look at the earth, did some things in passing, and then stepped into the black and yellow vortex without hesitation.
The starry sky returned to silence. No one in this world knew that an outsider, or rather a returning wanderer, had been here and done many things.
……
The void is as silent, dark, and boundless as ever.
The black and yellow vortex slowly disappeared, and the place was empty and there was no world.
The earth world has not been sealed because of Zhou Qing's entry and exit. It is still isolated.
Without the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal, it would be impossible to find them even if you look for them all your life.
Putting away the fragments of the Xuanhuang Seal, Zhou Qing connected with the laws of the great road 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 so long, but so much time had passed outside.
When he was in the earth world, Zhou Qing turned into a historical ghost and returned to the past. Although it seemed that he had witnessed a long history, that was all fixed time, and the actual passage of time was not long.
The time difference between the two is really not small.
"Go home."
Zhou Qing sighed. The distance between here and the Xuanhuang Realm is also very long. It took him half a year to get here, and it would probably be about the same when he goes back.
But think about it from another perspective, fortunately, the two places are only half a year apart at the speed of the Yuan Realm Great Heavenly Lord. After all, the void is endless and vast. This half-year journey is actually not long in terms of the entire void.
If it were farther, it would be "torture".
Half a year later, Zhou Qing returned to the Xuanhuang Realm in the same time as when he went there.
Although it has been more than seven years since he left this time, Zhou Qing is not particularly worried about the safety of those around him.
Although Zhou Qing is only in the Yuan realm, he still has some connections. He once asked Taisu and Qingshou Tianzun to take care of the people around him, and they agreed.
With the commitment of these people, the safety of people like Lu Qingmo is still guaranteed and they will not fall into irresistible danger.
After returning to Xuanhuang Realm, Zhou Qing heard the news immediately.
Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Xiqi Dynasty actually merged.
In addition, the Southern Jin Dynasty had long since perished, so at this time, in the Xuanhuang life source, the human race had completed its unification, leaving only one country.
After the merger, the country was still named Zhou, and the former royal family of Da Qi was named the King of Qi. It is hereditary and will never be demoted.
It is not difficult to understand that the merger of the two countries will definitely be dominated by the stronger one.
The overall strength of the Bai family and the top experts are not as good as the Wu family. There is no reason to let the Bai family make the decision.
After learning the news, Zhou Qing looked surprised.
How come he has become a Zhou person after being out for more than seven years?
Of course, Zhou Qing actually had no sense of identity or belonging to the Da Qi court, and his impression and sense of the Qi Bai family were not very good either.
The two countries merged, the royal family of Da Qi was reduced to the title of king, and the people of Qi became the people of Zhou. Zhou Qing didn't care, as long as no lives were lost, that was enough.
Peaceful reunification is better than conquests in the east and west, with rivers of blood flowing.
Zhou Qing recognized the country where he was born in his previous life and had a strong sense of belonging. After all, he grew up there.
When he returned to Earth before, he still considered himself a member of that country, and this had never changed.
But it is really impossible for you to expect Zhou Qing, a time traveler from modern society with well-established views, to have a sense of belonging to a feudal court.
If Zhou Qing joined the Da Qi court after time travel, climbed up the imperial system, and received all the favors from Da Qi, then decades would be enough for him to recognize this court, but the problem is not like this.
In such a world of spiritual practice with extraordinary power, family and sect are closer than the country, and can give people a greater sense of belonging.
What's more, practitioners at Zhou Qing's level have transcended the world, and these basic organizations can no longer restrain them.
In ten thousand years, I don’t know how many times I can change my life, but how can I have so much energy to pursue these things?
Moreover, the merger of the Western Qi and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the unification of the three human kingdoms, was actually a good thing in this era and was conducive to the development of the human race.
Zhou Qing went to Shendu. He vaguely heard that the merger of the two countries had shadows from the Human World, so he had to go and take a look to avoid any problems.
After arriving in the divine capital, Zhou Qing was a little surprised to see Mingsheng, whose cultivation had reached the realm of the Four-Leaf Palm Life Master.
Before Mingsheng, when Zhou Qing ended his fifteen-year retreat on the moon, he had the cultivation level of Erye Zhangmingzun.
Now he is four leaves, but the time in the past is not as long as that time, so Ming Sheng has improved much faster in recent years than before.
Zhou Qing congratulated Ming Sheng, who smiled and waved his hand.
"It has been so long since the destiny has been manifested. I just arrived at the Four-Leaf Palm Life Master and I can't even see your shadow. I'm really ashamed."
Zhou Qing smiled: "Everyone has his or her own path, whether it is faster or slower, as long as we are making progress, our era has just begun. We still have unlimited possibilities. It doesn't matter if we are fast or slow."
"It makes sense."
Ming Sheng nodded and asked again:
"You haven't appeared in the world for more than seven years. When you come to the capital this time, there must be something going on, right?"
"It's true."
Zhou Qing talked about business again: "I was not in Xuanhuang Realm in 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, even the land of the Southern Jin Dynasty has been taken over by the Great Zhou Dynasty."
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Ming Sheng's generation unified the human race and reached an unprecedented peak. Ming Sheng was also considered to have great achievements.
History will remember all this. When he passes away in the future and has the dignity to meet his ancestors, 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 smooth merger of Zhou and Qi is indeed due to the contribution of the human world."
Ming Sheng replied: "Five years ago, masters from the Ren Temple approached the Wu family and me and gave us the opportunity to enter the Ren Temple to study and practice. Not only us, the Ren Temple also came into contact with the Bai family."
"This does not require us to pay anything, but it is the human temple's care for the human race. This is true for all heavens and human races."
The Human Temple is the holy land and ancestral land of the human race. It is the responsibility that the Human Temple has always insisted on to lead the human race, take care of the human race, and develop the hot race.
Therefore, it is normal for the Renmiao to contact the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and provide certain care.
Moreover, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is definitely at the top among the local forces in the Xuanhuang Realm. This will be beneficial to the interests of the human world in the Xuanhuang Realm without any harm.
"In the human temple, we have gained a lot, and we have obtained a method that allows the royal family, who are burdened with human destiny and karma, to continue practicing."
"The fact that I can practice to the four-leaf realm at this time is also related to this."
This means that once the opportunity comes, you can make rapid progress.
