Chapter 421: Chapter 166 Zhou, is it looking up at something? (6k)
The two people listened and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, given her current state, it will only be a matter of a couple of years before her Realm bursts forth. In that case, I must prepare a gift for her!"
The White Crane muttered to himself, unable to hide his excitement.
"Brother-in-law, little brother-in-law, something urgent just came to mind, I have to go!" With these words, the White Crane turned and left in a hurry.
Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu exchanged looks, bewildered.
He came and left in such a hurry.
However, they had a feeling that before Second Senior Sister emerged, they would be meeting him again very soon.
......
Upon returning to the mountain, Zhou Qing did not follow the third senior brother to the Golden Thunder Sect. Instead, he settled his mind and began to carefully study the "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture".
The "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture" is a Divine Technique created by the third ancestor of the Golden-winged Roc clan, Emperor Huang. It is divided into two parts.
The first part is the Golden Roc True Body: cultivators can activate the hidden Golden-winged Roc bloodline within them, transforming instantly into a giant Golden Roc, granting immense power and astonishing speed, greatly enhancing their strength.
The second part is Emperor’s Might: once cultivated to Great Success, the cultivator naturally exudes an emperor-like aura.
This aura not only has a powerful influence on the Human Race, but also exerts immense psychological pressure on Demon Beasts.
It causes them to involuntarily feel fear and awe, severely affecting their willpower and combat performance.
However, as it is a bloodline inheritance technique of Demon Beasts, for humans to cultivate it, a key ingredient is needed.
"At least a drop of the Golden-winged Roc’s Essence Blood!" Zhou Qing frowned deeply after reading the further introduction.
The treasure lies before him, but to unlock it, the corresponding key must be found.
When he previously cultivated the Divine Techniques of the Golden Crow and Suanni clans, it was through the use of those two drops of Essence Blood that he succeeded.
Back when the Corpse Spirit in his Sea of Consciousness attempted to seize his body, it was merely a hurriedly escaped remnant soul, not Essence Blood.
Zhou Qing clearly remembered the Old Emperor casually killed it with a single finger. Black, foul-smelling blood and feathers rained down from the sky, but there was no Essence Blood.
"Isn’t this just teasing me!" After understanding it all, Zhou Qing felt helpless and frustrated.
If he could cultivate the Golden Roc True Body and transform into a dazzling Golden Roc, the mere thought was enough to make one’s heart race.
Moreover, if he could display Emperor’s Might and make all beasts bow, how imposing and exhilarating would that be!
But the key issue was, where could he find the Essence Blood of a Golden-winged Roc now?
This substance is different from ordinary blood; it’s the essence of the entire body.
If an ordinary person lost even a single drop, it could cause severe damage to Primordial Energy, requiring a long period of recuperation to recover.
The more Zhou Qing thought about it, the more itched his heart felt. After all, he had already cultivated all other Divine Skills to the Great Success stage.
If he could master this Divine Technique as well, escaping from a Divinity Transformation Realm expert would be more than just talk; they might not even catch him.
"I wonder if there’s any left in the abyss?" Zhou Qing stood up immediately but soon realized it was unrealistic.
So many people had been there, including Spirit Severing Realm experts who thoroughly searched the place; what could be left for him?
But staring at such a powerful Divine Technique without being able to cultivate it, how could he be reconciled?
"I’ll take Lu Yaoyao with me!" Zhou Qing thought hard and finally decided it would be better to visit the abyss again.
Last time at Spirit Skull Mountain, bringing this girl had brought him luck.
Before long, Lu Yaoyao came running with joy, especially excited upon hearing they were going to Canglan Mountain.
"Senior Brother Zhou, are you specifically trying to make up for my regrets?" Lu Yaoyao asked expectantly.
Zhou Qing replied helplessly, "You’re overthinking it; we’re just going to find something."
Then, they packed briefly and stepped onto the Teleportation Array, arriving first at the Golden Thunder Sect.
Zhou Qing contacted his third senior brother and learned he was with Lei Luo at the Thunder Pool, busy with something.
"I’ll skip, you and Junior Sister Lu be careful!"
Yan Xiaohu sent a message, and Zhou Qing, seeing it, did not say more, then left the Golden Thunder Sect with Lu Yaoyao, heading towards Canglan Mountain.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao disguised themselves before setting out.
This way, no matter which of the Five Sects they encountered, the other party would not act rashly.
......
Compared to the last time when Master Mo Xingjian took them to Canglan Mountain in just three days, this time it took them seven days.
Seeing the vast sea of forests before them, Lu Yaoyao marveled.
"Master once said, once my cultivation progresses enough, I could participate in the Five Sects trials. But the world changes so swiftly, and now with the war breaking out, I can’t even join the trials."
