In the ancient temple, the Master of Xiaxian Palace stared at the dandelion seeds that belonged to Xu Qing in the window formed by the candlelight, until the seeds merged into the mother body and disappeared.
The little butterfly next to him looked at this scene stupidly, his mind a little confused, and even his words were like this.
"Ah? The only thing...what is this, Master, he...he is cheating!"
"For countless years in Houtu, some talented people have deduced that all martial arts have a source. If the source is occupied by someone, it will be extremely difficult to cultivate this method to the extreme."
Palace Master Xia Xian spoke softly.
"They don't know the existence of the Immortal Source. They guessed and analyzed it based on their own observations."
"This guess is both correct and incorrect."
"The Thousand Earth Cultivation Technique is actually the source of existence, and it is rarely unique. But if someone can do it, then the imprint will be deep-rooted, and the Immortal Source will respect it and not erase it, leaving it for future generations to practice and observe."
"This Xu Qing, he did it."
The Master of Xiaxian Palace, the ethereal tone in his voice became less and was replaced by appreciation. He also raised his right hand at this moment. With a wave, the candlelight in the sky of the ancient temple rolled back and returned to the candle on the altar.
The imperial energy inside also spreads out, blending into the human emperor totems in the surrounding murals.
Only the lingering voice of the Xiaxian Palace Master still echoed in the ancient temple.
No matter how stupid Little Butterfly was, combined with the regretful words of the master before, she felt this appreciation, so she panicked in her heart and was about to show it off.
At this moment, Xu Qing's eyes slowly opened.
There is no confusion in his eyes, but they are clear and bright, with a purple halo flowing inside, giving people the feeling that his pupils are like stars.
Maybe, those are indeed stars.
"Thank you, Palace Master!"
Xu Qing cupped his hands and bowed deeply to the Master of Xiaxian Palace.
"There is no need for this. The dedication of your soul seed to the Immortal Source is a meritorious deed to Houtu. After that, your soul seed will be stripped of your will and formed into a skill that will be spread throughout the thousands of worlds of Houtu as Houtu Gong.
The law adds a touch of color.”
"And because of your merits, you realize supernatural powers in the immortal source, drink and peck, this is cause and effect."
"Now, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Palace Master Xia Xian obviously spoke more than before, and it was obvious that Xu Qing's appreciation was the main reason.
Xu Qing pondered, and his eyes fell on the nine scrolls on the altar.
"Palace Master, I would like to know, the seniors of Xia Xian who created the Wanggu Continent and raised the Way of Heaven, where have they gone, and why have they not returned since the remnants of the gods have appeared to this day?"
Xu Qing's voice floated in the ancient temple, and what responded to him was a sigh from the master of Xiaxian Palace.
"No one knows the exact location of the six Xia Immortals. There is only a piece of information left in the records in Xia Immortal Palace."
"Some of them went to the depths of Huangtian, and some were recuperating in the thick soil. As for the details, I don't know."
"It's been too long."
There were some special emotions in the voice of Palace Master Xia Xian. After he finished speaking, his figure slowly blurred. The little butterfly next to him noticed the Master's depression and blurred as well.
Xu Qing was silent, he knew that he was leaving.
So he bowed again, turned around and walked towards the temple door. Before stepping out, he turned his head and took one last look at the ancient temple.
What he looked at was not the vague Lord of Xiaxian Palace, nor the altar, but the first emperor of the human race and the first ancient emperor in the totems on the wall.
The boy looking up at the stars.
After one glance, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and walked out of the ancient temple.
The moment he walked out, the ancient temple was like a bubble behind him, shattering in the colorful flow until it disappeared without any trace of its existence.
Xu Qing looked back and saw a vast emptiness.
There aren't any buildings.
It is as if this is just a dream, and at this moment, in the distant horizon, the red sun rises into the sky. It is at dawn, and it can be seen that the sky gradually wakes up from the darkness and becomes brighter.
The morning glow was dyed crimson and was extremely magnificent.
The earth is shrouded in a thin layer of morning mist, as if someone puts a layer of gauze over it, giving people a hazy and mysterious feeling.
Until the rays of the early sun shine on the earth, the morning mist melts like snow, becomes thinner and disappears, and the sunlight smoothly passes between the sky and the earth and falls on Xu Qing's body.
One night passed.
Xu Qing looked at the red sun, breathed out white mist, and the strokes he had seen twice appeared in his mind.
The first ancient emperor of the human race, that young man... the first time he looked at it, he felt familiar. The feeling was even stronger when he glanced before leaving.
"I think I've seen it before..."
Xu Qing murmured in his heart, and with this thought, he walked towards Ning Yan's mansion under the light of the early sun.
An hour later, the sky was already bright. When he walked to the lake in front of Ning Yan's mansion, Xu Qing suddenly stopped and looked at the lake in front of him. He vaguely found the familiar source.
"Somewhat like Master."
Xu Qing thoughtfully walked on the lake, step by step, back to Ning Yan's mansion.
He had never seen his master when he was young, but the young man's eyes were very similar to his master's eyes.
When this thought emerged in Xu Qing's mind, as he returned, all the cultivators of Fenghai County in the mansion were waiting in the courtyard. The moment they saw Xu Qing, they burst into cheers.
In the crowd, Ning Yan was also there, as well as Kong Xianglong, Wu Jianwu, and Li Yunshan, the master of the Sword-holding Palace in Fenghai County who led the team to follow Xu Qing to the imperial capital.
Zixuan also returned, smiling in the distance.
Even the captain showed up. He was holding Wu Jianwu's neck and didn't know what to say. After noticing Xu Qing, he grinned.
They cheered because of the revelation of Xu Qing's identity as an Immortal, because of his victory in discussing the Tao, because of Xu Qing's establishment of power by killing the Seventh Prince, and even more because of Bai Xiaozhuo's demise!
The Seventh Prince and Bai Xiaozhuo are great enemies to all the monks in Fenghai County!
Listening to the cheers and looking at the familiar crowd in front of him, Xu Qing was in a daze. So many things happened that day and night, that he only realized at this moment that... it had only been one night since yesterday's discussion.
The experience in Xia Xiangong, in that ancient temple filled with time and vicissitudes, time seemed to exaggerate Xu Qing's perception, giving him a hazy feeling about the passage of time.
But this feeling was quickly suppressed by him, a smile appeared on his face, and he bowed slightly to the cheering crowd.
Among the crowd, Kong Xianglong was the first to rush out. With red eyes, he came to Xu Qing. Just as he was about to bow, Xu Qing stepped forward and hugged him.
Kong Xianglong paused for a moment, then hugged Xu Qing as well.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
Li Yunshan was in the same mood as he walked out and bowed vigorously to Xu Qing.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for slaying the white thief, killing the seven sons, and restoring the blood feud. The old palace master knows that he will rest in peace!"
All sword holders bowed together.
Ning Yan inside worshiped deeper. Although his level of excitement was different from that of the others, it was still at the extreme level. The death of the seventh prince and Xu Qing's show of power made him proud and his heart rose even more.
Pride.
Xu Qing returned the favor, and in this morning when the monks in Fenghai County were extremely happy, he walked towards Zixuan.
Zixuan's figure, in this sunshine, has a hibiscus face, autumn water in her eyes, and red lips. She is as quiet as a delicate flower shining in the water. She is wearing a purple skirt, Eona is dancing, like a fairy descending to the earth, and like a blooming flower.
of violets.
His eyebrows are like distant mountains with daisies, and his eyes are like the horizontal waves of autumn water.
"Where did you go this night? How come you are stained with the dust of the years and some pollen aroma?"
Zi Xuan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his beautiful eyes swept over Xu Qing's body.
Just as Xu Qing was about to speak, the captain not far away blinked his eyes and shouted loudly when he heard these words.
"Junior brother, come quickly. I have something big to tell you. It's a big thing!"
As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward and without waiting for Xu Qing to speak, he grabbed Xu Qing's arm and pulled her away. At the same time, he spoke quickly to Zixuan.
"Brothers and sisters of Shangxian, you two have a long time. Don't be in a hurry to reminisce about the past. It's not easy for me to come back. I need to talk to little Aqing about the big things first."
With that said, he grabbed Xu Qing and left quickly.
Xu Qing was a little helpless, and was pulled by the captain's arm and left. Until he reached a secret room, the captain made a seal and sealed the surrounding area. Then he looked at Xu Qing with a look of asking for credit.
"How are you, little Aqing? Your senior brother, please let me react quickly. Let me tell you, as soon as you came back, I could smell the scent of pollen on your body from a long distance away."
"You are still too young and inexperienced. Remember to wipe it clean next time you eat something secretly!"
"Senior brother, I can help you once, but I can't just catch up every time, right?"
Xu Qing was speechless, looked at the captain with a proud face, and asked.
"Where have you been during this time?"
As soon as Xu Qing spoke, the captain sat aside, crossed his legs, raised his hand and took out a peach, then threw an apple to Xu Qing, and spoke proudly while eating.
"Of course I'm going to do something big."
"Let me tell you, little Ah Qing, although you are showing off your power now, you are only in the human royal capital. When my big things are done, I will really shock your jaw."
Xu Qing was very familiar with this scene and knew what the captain wanted, so after taking the apple, he looked curious.
"What's the big deal?"
The captain regained his energy, leaned forward and spoke in a low voice.
"During this period of time, I was in the Star Emperor's branch sect. It was the same place where I went to steal things. At that time, I didn't steal anything, but I was not convinced, so I thought of a way to join this sect."
"Now, I have successfully become an outer disciple, and I will take the test soon. I am sure that I will succeed in the test. Once I succeed, I will be an inner disciple!"
"When the time comes, I will be able to get close to my goal if I work it out!"
When Xu Qing heard this, some real curiosity arose in his heart. After all, it is not easy to make the captain miss him so much.
"Elder brother, what exactly do you want to steal?"
"Wordless stone book!"
The captain's eyes shone brightly, filled with deep desire.
"The mysterious girl that day stole the same thing. It seemed like she succeeded, but that girl was a bit stupid. What she stole was just an empty shell and a piece of broken stone."
"What I want is the words inside!"
"Wordless stone book?" Xu Qing glanced at the captain.
"Yes, wordless stone book." The captain smiled half-heartedly.
Xu Qing pondered and nodded.
"Don't you ask me why there are words in the stone book without words?" the captain expected.
Xu Qing already had the answer in his heart, but seeing the captain like this, he still chose to satisfy his expectations, so he followed his wishes and asked.
The captain perked up, laughed, and spoke mysteriously.
"The wordless stone book, these are the four words. Silly girl stole the shell, but she didn't know that the four words had become spirits. They had escaped long ago and were hidden on a jade slip in the upper floor of the Chuanfa Pavilion.
Here, as long as I become an inner disciple, I can go to the upper level of the Dharma Pavilion and find them!"
"And these four words are related to the divine realm. No matter which divine realm, they have a certain role. And I heard that the Yanyue Xuantian Clan will also conduct a hunt for the divine realm in the near future!"
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
The captain was even more proud.
"How about it? You must be awesome. Otherwise, why would you, Senior Brother, and I spend so much energy and time, even if I cut off my head, I still want to sneak into the Star Emperor Sect? For this, I have put in a lot of effort."
"But it doesn't matter. All the efforts are worth it. In one month, there will be an assessment. I will definitely be promoted to the inner sect successfully. Then we will go to the Yanyue Xuantian Clan and sneak in when they start hunting in the divine domain!"
The captain's words are true, his eyes are firm, and he is extremely persistent.
"Hunting God's Domain?"
Xu Qing was shocked and had a deeper understanding of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan. However, there are obviously many details in this so-called hunting domain.
"I'll tell you in detail when I get it," the captain said, finishing the peach in his mouth, standing up and patting his butt.
"I'm leaving first. When I come back this time, I'll tell you in advance that you should be prepared. Next... I wish me success."
The captain took a deep breath and was about to leave.
Xu Qing hesitated and asked.
"Is it so difficult to get the jade slips from Chuanfa Pavilion?"
When the captain heard this, he was unhappy.
"Little Aqing, you are confused. That is the Supreme Sect of the Star Emperor. Although it is a branch sect, the Chuanfa Pavilion is the core of this sect. There is an old monster there, and the protection is tight. Outsiders are not allowed to enter, otherwise
If I had stolen it a long time ago, I wouldn’t have been in such trouble."
Xu Qing pondered, thinking of Chen Daoze, so he took out the jade slip and tried to send a message to Chen Daoze...
The captain was curious.
"What are you doing?"
"Senior Brother, please wait a moment. I'll see if I can help you finish it in advance."
