In the blink of an eye, Zhou Qing and the tenth guardian had been fighting for half an hour.
The claw technique of the Tenth Guardian, like that of the Ninth Guardian, also reached the limit of the Heavenly Dao.
Furthermore, compared to the Ninth Guardian, his claw technique is more refined, with its essence reaching the fifth level of Claw Power.
However, no matter how exquisite the moves are, they cannot compensate for the difference in basic strength.
The tenth guardian, empowered only by the fourth layer of Claw Power, was no match for Zhou Qing, who possessed several Primordial Power.
A moment later, with Zhou Qing's simple and unadorned strike, the tenth guardian was blasted away.
In fact, if it weren't for the need to absorb the essence of the Tenth Guardian's Claw Technique to improve his own, Zhou Qing could have defeated the Tenth Guardian within five rounds.
"Such immense power..."
After barely managing to steady himself, the tenth guardian sighed softly.
Then, with a complicated expression, he looked at Zhou Qing and said, "Congratulations, you will become the second Empyrean God to leave Moonlit Pool."
The tenth guardian vaguely remembered that when he fought Zhou Qing at the first level of the Path of Ten Thousand Blades, Zhou Qing's claw technique was crude and his Claw Power was only at the second level.
But by now, Zhou Qing's claw technique was almost as exquisite as his own, and his Claw Power had even broken through to the fourth level.
Even if the many Empyrean God in the Moonlit Pool spent countless years, they might not be able to achieve such great progress.
Zhou Qing achieved this change after only ten exchanges with him.
After successfully defeating the tenth guardian, Zhou Qing continued flying along the floating bridge.
Before long, he arrived at the fifth island in Moonlit Pool — Fallen Moon Island.
Fallen Moon Island is exceptionally beautiful, dotted with lakes of various colors.
These dazzling lakes are home to various treasures that Zhou Qing recognizes.
As Zhou Qing ventured deeper into the island, he encountered the silver-haired man responsible for guarding Fallen Moon Island.
With his guidance, Zhou Qing began selecting treasures.
As before, Zhou Qing, based on his experience, chose the three most precious treasures on Fallen Moon Island.
At the summit of the mountain stands an ancient temple built of piled rocks.
In front of the temple, there is a stone tablet that emits golden light.
Although it looks different from the jade crystal ball that Zhou Qing obtained from the Swordmaster Three Ultimatums, this stone tablet is also Oathstone.
At the silver-haired man's request, Zhou Qing moved all the Empyrean God out of the magical treasure cave.
Then, Zhou Qing and the others used the Oathstone in front of the temple to Lifeblood Oath not to reveal the specific information about Moonlit Pool.
After making his Lifeblood Oath, Zhou Qing then stored these Empyrean God into his magical treasure.
"Alright, let's enter the Fallen Moon Temple."
The silver-haired man smiled and said to Zhou Qing.
"After entering the temple to receive the inheritance, you will be able to leave Moonlit Pool."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing slowly walked into the Fallen Moon Temple.
Shortly after he stepped into the main hall, the simple temple suddenly emitted a deep blue light.
These rays of light enveloped Zhou Qing, forming a giant cocoon.
Inside the silkworm cocoon, Zhou Qing made another Lifeblood Oath.
He promised that after becoming Ancestor God, he would leave the Three Realms and must reach the Tiancang Palace within one Chaos Era to deliver the message that the World God Beixiu was killed by the Three Black Flood Dragon Divine Beasts.
After making his Lifeblood Oath, a large amount of information suddenly flooded into Zhou Qing's soul.
The sheer volume of information left Zhou Qing momentarily stunned, before his eyes regained their clarity after a short while.
" The Withered World God " and " Nine Origin Annihilation "...
Sensing the information from these two teachings, Zhou Qing nodded silently in his heart.
The " Nine Origin Annihilation " technique was out of the question. Although it was said to allow one to comprehend infinitely powerful divine abilities, it took too long and was not suitable for him.
However, the " Withered World God " is different. This divine Fiendgod Body Refining technique directly leads to the perfection of the World God and can fill the gap in the Fiendgod Body Refining methods of his Ancestor God.
Obtaining this cultivation technique was his main purpose in entering Moonlit Pool.
After receiving the inheritance, Zhou Qing followed the silver-haired man to a grassland on Fallen Moon Island.
In the center of the grassland lies a beautiful lake, as green as jade.
Reaching the lakeside, Zhou Qing suddenly stopped and asked the silver-haired man, " The Fiend King once told me that I had traversed the Fiend Ice Valley within the last hundred years and could obtain an opportunity on Fallen Moon Island."
"Where does the opportunity the Fiend King speaks of lie?"
"Don't rush," the silver-haired man chuckled, "You won't miss out on any opportunities."
"Go where you need to go first."
As he spoke, the silver-haired man pointed to the beautiful lake beside him.
Hearing what the silver-haired man said, Zhou Qing nodded, though he was puzzled.
Then he plunged into the lake and, after a moment of Time and Space shift, disappeared into the water.
After a few breaths, Zhou Qing came to her senses.
He found himself not in the chaos, but in a dark void.
What's going on...?
Zhou Qing looked around and discovered a void staircase leading to a distant, high place.
The scene is familiar; it seems to be the place where Ji Ning was taken by Violetjewel's spirit when he left Moonlit Pool in the original story.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing looked suspicious.
That's not right. If he remembered correctly, to be chosen by Violetjewel's spirit, one must master the " Wubao Sword Art ".
Then, it suddenly dawned on him.
Could this be what the Fiend King meant by "opportunity"?
Eternal Divine Weapon Violetjewel...
Zhou Qing's breathing quickened slightly.
If we could get our hands on this treasure, we'd be making a fortune.
With this in mind, he immediately proceeded along the void staircase.
Strangely, Zhou Qing did not find the sword technique stone tablets that Ji Ning encountered in the original story during his advance.
However, he didn't feel too regretful, after all, he wasn't following the Sword Dao.
Before long, Zhou Qing reached the end of the void staircase.
At that moment, he saw a jade temple that faintly exuded an aura of power.
From this terrifying pressure, Zhou Qing sensed a trace of eternity.
really...
Zhou Qing was thrilled.
Perhaps only the divine weapon Violetjewel, which possesses an eternal origin, can exude such an aura.
Soon, Zhou Qing entered the Jade Temple.
Upon entering the Jade Temple, Zhou Qing's eyes were immediately drawn to a futon and a stone platform.
On that stone platform lay a blood-red longsword with cracks all over its blade; it was none other than the Eternal Divine Weapon, Violetjewel.
As Zhou Qing approached Violetjewel, a female general clad in Golden Armor suddenly flew out from the blood-red longsword.
" Empyrean God Taixu, you've finally arrived."
The Golden Armor female general slowly looked at Zhou Qing.
You must be wondering why you're here.
As she spoke, the Golden Armor female general waved her hand, and a video suddenly appeared on the temple, showing Zhou Qing piloting a flying boat out of the Fiend Ice Valley.
"As Empyrean God has traversed the Fiend Ice Valley within the last hundred years, you will receive an opportunity from me."
Hearing the Golden Armor female general say this, Zhou Qing felt relieved.
Just as he had guessed.
Then, he couldn't help but look at the blood-red longsword on the stone platform.
You are not destined to be my master.
Noticing Zhou Qing's gaze, the Golden Armor female general shook her head.
"To become my master, one must not only traverse the Fiend Ice Valley within a hundred years, but also be proficient in Sword Dao. You do not meet this requirement."
As expected, the Eternal Divine Weapon is not so easy to obtain.
Zhou Qing could only smile bitterly after hearing this.
"Don't worry," the Golden Armor female general reassured Zhou Qing, "Although you cannot become my master, the opportunity you have obtained is extremely precious, enough to make all the powerful beings in the Three Realms envious."
After saying this, the Golden Armor female general waved her hand again, and then a mountain of bamboo slips appeared in the temple.
"These are the methods left behind by my former master. Come and memorize them."
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to examine the area with his Heartforce.
He was both amazed and amazed as he memorized the memories.
As expected of a method left behind by the World Realm master, it is truly Wanxiang.
And so, Zhou Qing remained inside the temple, memorizing the methods left behind by the World God Beixiu.
It wasn't until half a month later that he suddenly stood up.
" The Only True Body..."
Zhou Qing muttered to himself.
