The first star ring is roughly triangular in shape as a whole, and the inside is blurry, as if it is shrouded by supreme power and cannot be detected!
The second star ring is much clearer, and there are marks inside it, but they are only outlines.
Third and fourth, roughly the same.
But the fifth star ring is different. The mark of the cross-legged old man in the center is relatively clear.
Looking at other star rings, they also have terrifying marks, some are clear, and some are just outlines, with different sizes and shapes.
Staring at these, Xu Qing's heart roared violently.
After he was reborn with raw flesh and blood, he had some vague cognitions in his consciousness, such as the thirty-six star rings.
It wasn't until he followed Yu Liuchen to the outer sea and was swallowed by the huge whale that he met an old man who claimed to be from the Immortal Capital of the Fifth Star Ring.
The conversation with the old man expanded Xu Qing's horizons, and he determined that the universe he was in was one of the thirty-six star rings.
But that's all.
Knowing the information, there is no concrete picture, and I don't know which star ring I am in.
So when the star map of the thirty-six star rings appeared in front of his eyes, the roar in his heart was earth-shaking, and the waves were enough to cause the sea of consciousness to violently churn.
He finally knew the star ring he was in.
The ninth star ring!
And in this ninth star ring, there are many forces, east, west, north and south, each with their own terrifying marks.
But Xu Qing didn't know if it was an illusion. Whether it was the giant beast, the golden river, the black tower or the paper man, they were all vaguely pointing in the direction of the broken face.
Seems to be attracted.
In terms of clarity, the remnant face is the clearest mark in the thirty-six star rings!
There is no one.
As for the other marks of the ninth star ring, even the old man mark of the fifth galaxy, and even all the marks visible in the entire thirty-six star rings, they are relatively poor.
Only the first star ring is blurry as a whole, so it is difficult to see clearly. I wonder if there is something terrifying like a broken face inside.
But no matter what, the star map he saw in front of him was like a new world in Xu Qing's mind, instantly expanding his worldview.
The world is right in front of you.
The starry sky is also in my eyes.
The star ring is infinitely vast.
Compared to this, Wanggu Continent is like a gravel on the beach, insignificant. However, due to the existence of Shanghuang, this gravel... is extremely bright.
So it wasn't until a long while that Xu Qing took a deep breath and managed to calm down his turbulent heart again.
"The level of the residual face is that of a half-step god...so its brilliance exceeds all others."
"Then, what is the level of strength of the signs on the four sides of the ninth star ring, God Lord? God Lord?"
"There is a high probability that it is the latter."
"Then the remnant face was originally in the ninth star ring, or did it come from other star rings?"
"Everyone in the east, west, north, south and south is faintly affected by the broken face..."
Xu Qing pondered, he was unfamiliar with the giant beast, and Jin He had never seen anything similar before, but he had seen something similar to the black tower.
"The ruined tower under the Forbidden Sea was later integrated into my own wings to form the Holy Sky Pagoda... I wonder if there is any connection with this black tower."
"As for the last paper man..."
A faint light appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. He thought of the Deozi who appeared in the battle where the sword-wielding emperor fell!
"Drozi's method is related to paper. Is it related to this paper man?"
For a long time, Xu Qing suppressed all the thoughts that kept bursting out.
What he saw today was so shocking that he needed some time to process it.
And this is obviously not a suitable place.
So Xu Qing's eyes swept around, and his divine knowledge spread. After a moment, Xu Qing raised his head and looked into the void further away.
Here, he did not find the fleeing face.
However, this star map is precious and, to a certain extent, its value is astonishing.
So Xu Qing made a rubbing of it in his mind. After firmly remembering it, his body swayed and he began to explore a larger area.
But his instinct was not to get close to this vast star map.
The first layer of candlelight on this jade slip has terrifying assimilation power, so on the second layer, Xu Qing knew that he must be cautious.
It is very possible that similar assimilation occurred here.
Just like that, an hour passed.
As Xu Qing searched, an inexplicable sense of crisis gradually arose in his heart.
It's getting thicker and thicker.
Until now, it has reached the level of panic.
This made Xu Qing more certain of his previous guess.
"Don't stay long."
Although it is a pity that the face was not found during this trip, and even if he left this level and returned to the shadow where the candlelight was, there was a high probability that he would not be able to find it. This made Xu Qing's purpose of this trip unachievable.
But Xu Qing knows better. Sometimes, fate is like this.
I saw it twice and searched twice, but both times failed.
This shows that... that face may have its own will, and it does not want to be found.
"pity……"
Xu Qing sighed softly and touched the jade bottle in the storage bag.
"I hope the white dust inside is enough for me to study and use."
When Xu Qing thought of this, he no longer hesitated, and with a decisive heart, his body swayed and he headed straight for the space crack that entered this place.
??????55.??????
"I have been staying in the secret realm of this realm for a long time. To be safe, it is better to leave."
Xu Qing was extremely fast, speeding through the void like a rainbow, and soon returned to the entrance crack.
He had left a spiritual thought here before, and after checking that everything was clear, he walked out in one step, approaching the crack, and was about to return to the candlelight world on the previous level.
But just when Xu Qing's figure was about to pass through the crack, bursts of strange yet familiar aura suddenly came from the void behind him.
After Xu Qing felt it, his body trembled, his cultivation exploded, his double-sided authority shone, he turned around suddenly, staring into nothingness.
There, there are ripples spreading now.
Almost at the moment Xu Qing looked at it, something appeared out of thin air in the center of the ripples.
That's a mask!
His appearance was exactly the same face that Xu Qing had seen twice with his own eyes but had unsuccessfully pursued.
But now, it has become concrete and has become a mask.
It seems that this is its true nature.
Facing Xu Qing at this moment, he seems to be observing, but also shaking at the same time, as if he is ready to go away in an instant at any slightest disturbance.
Xu Qing was vigilant and did not act rashly. Instead, he stood in front of the crack and observed, thinking deeply in his heart.
"When I look for it, it avoids me, but when I give up, it shows up."
Just like that, a stick of incense passed.
Neither party did anything, they just looked at each other, and the mask no longer shook as before. It seemed that because Xu Qing did not take action, his vigilance was lowered.
Until Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and thought about how to capture the mask instantly, the mask seemed to be able to detect what Xu Qing was thinking, but it quickly blurred and seemed to be dispersed.
Xu Qing frowned and gave up the idea of taking action. He thought that this thing appeared when he didn't intend to look for it... so he simply gave up the idea of catching Bo.
Almost the moment he put down this idea, the mask became clear again from the blur, and he stared at Xu Qing for a while. Suddenly, there was a wave, his lips were slightly opened, and a numb voice came into Xu Qing's heart.
"What wish do you want to make?"
Xu Qing was silent, and the vigilance in his heart became stronger. He didn't know what this mask was, but he could still speak.
However, he has seen a lot of weird things in his life, so he has his own judgment and understands that there are some words that cannot be answered at will.
But when Xu Qing was thinking about it, the mask saw that Xu Qing didn't answer, and it became blurry again, as if it was about to disappear again.
Seeing this, Xu Qing's eyes flashed and he suddenly spoke.
"I make a wish..."
After saying these three words, the blurry state of the mask became clear again. When he stared at Xu Qing, Xu Qing took a step back and stepped directly into the crack behind him.
In an instant, his figure disappeared.
When it appeared, it was no longer on the level of the star map, but on the level where the red candlelight was.
Light and heat rushed towards my face.
Xu Qing ignored it and quickly looked towards the crack to see if the mask would follow.
Soon... ripples appeared at the crack in space he was looking at, and the mask actually flew out with Xu Qing.
The moment he appeared, he stared at Xu Qing.
As if waiting for Xu Qing to reveal the content of his wish.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, swayed his body, and galloped into the distance while paying attention to the mask.
There was a hint of hesitation in the mask's expression, but it soon chose to follow and flew towards Xu Qing.
It seems that Xu Qing's previous words have achieved some kind of cause.
And Xu Qing never revealed his wish, so it was fruitless.
So the mask no longer left, but followed Xu Qing behind him.
Just like that, after half the incense stick flew out, Xu Qing suddenly backed up and appeared near the mask behind him, raising his hand to grab it.
This time, the mask did not blur and disappear as before, but was allowed to be grabbed by Xu Qing.
In his hand, the mask looked at Xu Qing, as if still waiting for Xu Qing to say the content of his wish.
Xu Qing had no expression on his face and put the mask casually in his sleeve.
This thing was placed in the storage bag. Xu Qing was worried because it was a living thing after all.
And practices such as sealing may break the current status of each other due to malicious behavior.
Especially after previous tests, Xu Qing judged that this thing would most likely follow him until he said the content of his wish.
So it fits well inside the sleeves.
As for the details of this mask, the cause and effect of the wish, and the matter of white dust, Xu Qing plans to study it carefully after leaving the secret realm of the world source.
Now that the purpose of coming here has been completed, and there is a risk of assimilation if staying for a long time, Xu Qing did not hesitate, immediately took out the token of the Jieyuan Secret Realm, pinched it, and chose to leave.
But with this pinch, the red candlelight in the distance suddenly surged in flames, covering all areas, including Xu Qing.
I don’t know if it’s because of the fire, but this token... actually became unresponsive!
Xu Qing looked up at the red candle.
"Is it because the mask is on me, so the red candle won't let me leave?"
"It was for other reasons that the red candle was so bright..."
"Or maybe it's just a coincidence."
Xu Qing pondered, pinched the token again, and the red candle flames shone again, invalidating the token.
The malice radiated from this scene made Xu Qing's face darken.
