Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo...
Seeing this distinctive entrance, Zhou Qing immediately understood the identity of the person in front of him.
Seamless Gate going to attack him?
Zhou Qing felt a sudden sense of alertness, but then he remembered the other identity of Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo.
No... could it be...?
Although he was quite confused, Zhou Qing couldn't care less about the purpose of Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo's visit at this moment.
"Senior, I didn't know that the True Immortal Dayan was one of your people."
When responding to Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo, Zhou Qing remained neither humble nor arrogant, knowing that the worst outcome would be the loss of this clone.
"But I am his mortal enemy. Even if I knew he was one of your men, I would still kill him without hesitation."
While they were talking, Zhou Qing also took the opportunity to send a message to the Daoist Sanqing for help.
"How dare you speak so arrogantly!"
Upon hearing Zhou Qing's words, Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo's expression turned angry, and then countless Darklight on his body transformed into bamboo leaves and burst forth.
Is he just an ordinary Dao Ancestor...?
As countless bamboo leaves, each carrying an aura of destruction, flew towards him, Zhou Qing felt completely at ease.
If he remembered correctly, Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo possessed leadership-level strength during the Three Realms Battle in the original story.
It seems someone doesn't want Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo to reveal his strength too early.
Before the earth-shattering attack of Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo could strike, Zhou Qing had a sudden thought and used a spatial escape technique to disappear.
Upon seeing this, Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo immediately broke through space and followed.
Logically, Zhou Qing should have used a Time and Space escape technique at this moment.
Most powerful beings in the Three Realms have never been involved in the Path of Time and Space. If he were to escape using the Time and Space Escape Technique, even Dao Ancestor would not be able to capture him.
Unfortunately, Zhou Qing's Power of Time and Space had only reached the second level at this time, making it hardly useful.
On the contrary, his Space Power had reached the fourth level, which was roughly equivalent to the realm of a typical Dao Ancestor.
After all, even a mediocre Dao Ancestor can only comprehend one or two Heavenly Dao, which is actually on the same level as the Primordial Power of the fourth layer.
Moreover, after Zhou Qing's Space Power was raised to the fourth level, he became increasingly adept at comprehending the " Void Evasion " technique, which involves traversing the void.
Therefore, his current escape techniques even surpass those of ordinary Dao Ancestor.
Of course, compared to a leader like Ink Bamboo Dao Ancestor, he is still far inferior.
However, Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo was limited by not being able to reveal his strength and only exerted the strength of an ordinary Dao Ancestor, which gave Zhou Qing an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
So Zhou Qing ran, Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo chased after him.
The two then engaged in a chase across the endless void of the Three Realms and the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
The commotion caused by the two naturally attracted the attention of many powerful beings in the Three Realms.
Endless Hell.
"This Ink Bamboo has wasted all these years; he couldn't even defeat a mere Empyrean God True Immortal!"
Having witnessed the farce of a Dao Ancestor chasing after Empyrean God True Immortal, the Godking, seated on his towering throne, was furious.
To be honest, the Godking was happy to see Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo go after Zhou Qing.
After all, if Zhou Qing hadn't interfered, that Annihilation Dark Gold in the Netherworld would have Seamless Gate.
If he could obtain that Annihilation Dark Gold, he wouldn't have to worry about materials for Empyrean God- level puppets for quite some time.
However, the Godking's support for Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo was contingent on Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo capturing Zhou Qing. Then, he would use Zhou Qing as leverage to negotiate with the Daoist Sect, allowing the Seamless Gate to also get a share of the spoils from the Annihilation Dark Gold.
Instead of what happened now, where not only did they fail to capture Zhou Qing, they also incurred the ridicule of powerful beings in the Three Realms.
The reputation of the Seamless Gate has been damaged, and the Godking, as its nominal leader, has also lost face.
Within the void of the Three Realms.
The Daoist Sanqing and Patriarch Bodhi kept a close eye on Zhou Qing.
" Bodhi, aren't you going to make a move?"
Upon observing that Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo was about to attack Zhou Qing, Daoist Sanqing immediately spoke up.
"If you don't make a move soon, your newly accepted apprentice is going to suffer."
Clearly, the Daoist Sanqing did not believe that Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo intended to kill his disciple.
In his view, Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo simply intended to capture Zhou Qing and then use him as leverage to extract benefits from the Daoist Sect.
"No rush," Patriarch Bodhi calmly.
"Let's wait a moment, we might just see that old man Ink Bamboo looking disheveled."
" Bodhi, you're not joking, are you?" The Daoist Sanqing were quite surprised upon hearing this.
He understood Zhou Qing's level of cultivation. Although his Space Power and Time Power had reached the third level, his Heartforce had even reached the fourth level.
But for a powerful being of the Dao Ancestor's level, these are nothing.
However, no sooner had the Daoist Sanqing finished speaking than he witnessed the chase between Zhou Qing and Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo.
Seeing Zhou Qing, who remained at ease despite being relentlessly pursued by Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo, the Daoist Sanqing immediately noticed something amiss.
" Space Power, Fourth Level!"
The Daoist Sanqing were secretly alarmed.
If he remembered correctly, his disciple had only reached the third level of Space Power about two hundred years ago, but now he had broken through again.
" Bodhi Daoist Bodhi truly deserves to be called the number one person in the Three Realms Time and Space. My disciple has only been a disciple of yours for a few years, yet he has already achieved such accomplishments."
The Space Power has actually broken through to the fourth level...
However, what the Daoist Sanqing didn't notice was that Patriarch Bodhi was strange at this moment.
This was different from what he had guessed.
Patriarch Bodhi thought his new disciple would use the methods of the Path of Time and Space to hide and wait for him or the Daoist Sanqing to come to his rescue.
But to his surprise, Zhou Qing actually used his spatial mastery to compete with the Dao Ancestor in escape techniques; he was truly a prodigy...
Zhou Qing used his escape technique to travel between different worlds.
He had to ensure he was fast enough to avoid being caught by Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo.
Although Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo concealed his true strength, he only displayed the combat power of an ordinary Dao Ancestor.
Even an ordinary Dao Ancestor's attack can cover the entire Great World, and their consciousness can encompass the entire Three Realms.
Therefore, Zhou Qing's every move was under the watchful eye of Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo.
The reason he was able to evade the pursuit of Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo was because he was fast enough.
Whenever Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo arrived in his world, Zhou Qing would have already fled.
In fact, if Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo had directly destroyed that world after discovering that Zhou Qing had escaped to, Zhou Qing wouldn't have been able to run for long at all.
But Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo could not do that.
Firstly, his purpose in coming here was not to eliminate Zhou Qing, and besides, if he did so, the Daoist Sanqing would not stand idly by.
Secondly, most of the great worlds in the Three Realms have masters, and these masters are usually backed by True God Dao Ancestor.
If Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo were to recklessly destroy these great worlds, he would incur the wrath of many True God Dao Ancestor.
It was precisely because Zhou Qing understood this principle that he avoided the small world and instead sought refuge in the large world.
Moreover, these are all great worlds with powerful True God Dao Ancestor presiding over them, such as the Mountains of Flowers and Fruit major world Grand Xia major world, and the Deerchaser major world Great World.
Three months passed in this way, Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo was still relentlessly pursuing Zhou Qing.
At this moment, an old voice suddenly reached Zhou Qing and Dao Ancestor Ink Bamboo's ears.
"Alright, stop chasing. A Dao Ancestor chasing after a mere Empyrean God True Immortal is embarrassing for you."
