Start from covering the sky and become invincible

Chapter 98
Under the stars, a small boat floated leisurely in the water, going down the river.

Zhou Qing lay on the boat, looking at the stars in the sky, letting the boat drift freely.

This is a very wide river with a clear and clear water surface. Towering cities stand on both sides. The black city body shines with a cold metallic luster. The city is filled with purple air, which can be felt extraordinary even from a long distance away.

This is the Chiyang Kingdom, one of the nine ancient kingdoms. Although it is not as good as the four great dynasties, its mountains and rivers are equally magnificent and picturesque. Just like this mighty long river at this moment, it is hundreds of feet wide and rolls down. Many human races gather there. The land is built on both sides of this river.

On the small boat, a slender hand lifted the curtain, and Dao Qingling came out from the cabin, ethereal as a fairy, walking gracefully with lotus steps, bringing a faint fragrance.

"Are you still thinking about that old Taoist?"

A beautiful voice reached Zhou Qing's ears, causing a glimmer of light to shine in his dazed eyes.

"You said, what is the meaning of practice? A monk has been busy all his life, competing with the sky, the earth, and the people, but in the end, he still wants to turn into a handful of loess. After hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years, Who will remember them?"

Zhou Qing asked very puzzled. He had many doubts in his heart, and he couldn't help but speak them out at this moment.

"My generation of monks, the purpose of cultivating the Tao all my life is naturally to become an immortal. After becoming an immortal, I will naturally live forever, and then I will be able to live forever in the world." Dao Qingling's tone was very firm, without a trace of confusion.

However, this answer did not satisfy Zhou Qing. He asked: "Even if immortals can live forever, won't immortals die?"

"Immortals are existences that surpass the ancient emperors. Even the ancient emperors are pursuing such a realm, so how can they die?" Dao Qingling asked the same question.

Zhou Qing smiled, shook his head again, and said, "What if two immortals fight each other? What if there is something stronger than immortals who fights? Immortal in our eyes will still be immortal in the eyes of higher levels ?"

Dao Qingling was speechless. After a moment, he said: "This is a meaningless guess. There are not even immortals in the world. How do you know what the realm above immortals will be."

Zhou Qing looked up at the starry sky with a smile, countless stars reflected in his eyes. It would be a good thing if he really knew nothing, and it would be fine if he really was from this world, but he was neither of the two.

Immortal is not an illusory legend to him, because he knows that this realm really exists in the world, and there are even immortal kings, quasi-immortal emperors, and even higher realms above the immortals.

"Have you ever thought that maybe one day, this world will also decay, everything will collapse, the entire universe will come to an end, and everything will perish." Zhou Qing asked again.

"Then it is even more necessary to practice, transcend this world, go to the fairyland, and go to a truly eternal world." Dao Qingling replied.

"The Immortal Realm will last forever?" Zhou Qing said with a smile. The Immortal Realm has long been shattered into countless pieces, and its origin has been split into countless parts. How can it be considered eternal?

"Which one appeared first, heaven and earth and the great road? Did the heaven and earth come first and then the great road, or did the great road come first and then the heaven and earth?" Zhou Qing asked his third question.

"As the saying goes, the great road of heaven and earth, the great road of heaven and earth, this world must have appeared first, right?" Dao Qingling replied.

Zhou Qing laughed so hard that he couldn't help but sit up, laughing so hard that his body shook, and said, "Qing Ling, I didn't expect you to be able to joke, and you used sophistry to deal with me."

"Who told you to ask knowingly? Could it be that you don't understand the truth that Tao creates one, one creates two, two generates three, and three generates all things?" Dao Qingling stared at Zhou Qing with her beautiful eyes, making Zhou Qing gradually stop laughing.

"What is before emptiness? Is it emptiness? Is there nothing before nothing? What is between nothing and being? Dao is between being and nothing? Or is everything in the way?" Zhou Qing seemed to be talking to himself , several questions were raised in succession, all of which involved the essence of Tao and traced the origin and flow of Tao.

"You are in a state of mind. The avenue is boundless. Even the ancient emperor has not come to the end. He has been exploring all his life. How can I answer you? Instead of thinking about the vast avenue, it is better to focus on the present moment. One day when you look back , the Dao is self-generated, and the source is self-resolved."

Dao Qingling was a little speechless. There was absolutely no need for them two little dragon-forming monks to think so profoundly about what to do.

Zhou Qing stopped talking and lay down again. He put his hands behind his head and looked at the stars and the moon, wondering what he was thinking.

Dao Qingling also turned around and returned to the cabin, and as soon as he entered, there was a voice of anger.

"Miss, I just said that you don't need to explain him, right? Look at what he asked, if I just ignore it."

Xiaoyu came over and hugged Dao Qingling's jade arm, with a very dissatisfied expression, not directed at Dao Qingling, but at Zhou Qing, feeling that he was wasting Dao Qingling's training time.

Dao Qingling showed a smile and said: "You don't understand. If he can really break through his own heart, then in the future, he may be able to break through it without any obstacles."

Xiaoyu opened her mouth wide in surprise, and asked: "What about you, Miss, your determination to seek the Tao is so firm, cutting the Tao should not be able to hinder you, right?"

Dao Qingling shook his head and said: "No, the desire to seek the Tao is just one of the countless thoughts in my heart. No matter it is my father, or the most powerful people in the major dynasties and major religions, who does not have a firm mind?" A desire to seek truth? But it won’t be of much use at this level. People’s hearts are very complicated, and I also have confusions, but I rarely speak out.”

It has always been like this in this world that you have the heart to seek the Tao, but you may not be able to reach the end.

"What?" Xiaoyu was stunned, not knowing what she was thinking.

A few days later, Zhou Qing sat on the bow of the boat, boiled a pot of spiritual tea with mana, poured three cups, and sent two of them into the cabin with a wave of his hand.

What is eternity and what is immortal, he has now forgotten all about it, and will no longer think about it for the time being. Just like Dao Qingling said, there is no point in talking about it without reaching the realm.

For him, the most important thing right now is to improve his cultivation. During this period of time, his cultivation has long been transformed into a dragon, and he is about to enter the last secret realm of the Shrouding Heaven, Xiantai.

Once he enters a new realm, his combat power will be greatly improved, and he will be able to compete with the powerful.

Because with his spiritual power, once he enters, he will definitely not stop at the first small step, but will continue to climb several steps, which will greatly improve his cultivation.

"I'm going to open the domain gate." Zhou Qing shouted, this was to tell the two people in the cabin to make preparations.

"Okay." A voice came from the cabin.

Zhou Qing took out the Xuanyu Terrace, activated it immediately, and immediately formed a pitch-black domain gate in front, containing an astonishing law of void.

After crossing many times, Zhou Qing and others returned from the west of Zhongzhou to the south of Zhongzhou, and arrived near the imperial capital.
