Chapter 367 - 367 Just Like a Cycle
367 Just Like a Cycle
Looking at the captain’s expression, Xu Qing sighed.
“Why did you eat so much?”
‘If I didn’t eat it, it would all be absorbed by you, kid. You can absorb it with your entire body!’ The captain thought to himself that he just wanted to eat it alone. He was the main culprit of that event, so it was normal for him to eat it alone. Why was Xu Qing so cunning? He actually sensed it.
“You also want to eat it alone, right?” The captain quickly reacted and looked at Xu Qing warily.
Xu Qing looked into the captain’s eyes and shook his head seriously.
While the captain was puzzled, Xu Qing went forward and helped him up.
“It’s that old man’s fault for talking about raising wolves and what not. Tell me, how can a master not give resources to his disciples? Look at the other peaks. The masters will give disciples whatever they want. As for us…” The captain sighed.
Xu Qing didn’t say anything. He understood Old Master Seventh’s style. Old Master Seventh could give his disciples cultivation arts, life-saving items, protection, and so on, but he wouldn’t give them Dao Protectors or cultivation resources.
They had to rely on themselves to fight and obtain everything. Only then could they become the Wolf King. Otherwise, he would have raised a domestic dog. This could be seen from the captain and Third Senior Brother. They used all kinds of methods to obtain cultivation resources.
“Also, if you encounter a treasure like Saintly Star next time, call me. We can make a fortune together.” The captain looked at Xu Qing eagerly.
Xu Qing hurriedly nodded and supported the captain as they left the canyon and returned to the giant ship.
Not long later, the giant ship rumbled. This time, it didn’t teleport but sailed to the Wanggu Continent.
On the way, the captain must have eaten too much and had some problems with the digestion as he started twitching. Old Master Seventh looked like he was used to it and didn’t say anything. After slapping him unconscious and sending him to rest, he called Xu Qing to accompany him to watch the sunrise.
Third Senior Brother stayed with the female disciples of the Second Peak and did not return. Hence, other than some ordinary disciples, only Xu Qing and Old Master Seventh were left on the Seventh Peak’s ship.
The sea breeze blew over with humidity, stirring up black water foam that splattered on the bow of the ship before being dispersed by an invisible force.
Xu Qing stood beside Old Master Seventh and looked at the pitch-black sky in the distance.
“Fourth, do you know about the Wanggu Continent?” Old Master Seventh asked.
“I don’t know much.” Xu Qing shook his head. In front of Old Master Seventh, he was still a little reserved.
“The Wanggu Continent is endless and the Yinghuang Province is only a corner. However, even if it’s a corner, it’s still the size of ten Nanhuang Continents.”
Old Master Seventh calmly spoke and told Xu Qing about the Yinghuang Province.
“The entire Yinghuang Province is similar to a peninsula. It’s surrounded by the sea on three sides and there’s Grand Affairs Misfortune Passing Mountain that connects the north and south, and Immortal Enrichment River that runs through it from east to east. Grand Affairs Misfortune Passing Mountain is a mountain range that contains hundreds of thousands of mountains. They are all treacherous mountains that contain countless sects, nonhuman races, bizarre entities, and so on.”
“The river is a good river. Immortal Qi fills it and its water can wash away anomalous substances. Hence, the territories near it are hotly contested spots. It flows from another province to the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect, which occupies 30% of the entire eastern lands of the Yinghuang Province. It then flows out of its sphere of influence and passes through the Grand Affairs Misfortune Passing Mountain. After it flows into the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region, it enters the sea at the end of the west.”
“At the place where it intersects with the Grand Affairs Misfortune Passing Mountain, there was originally a tributary of the river that would flow into the Seven Sects Alliance through the river course under the mountain range. However, many years ago, this tributary was stopped by a dam built by the Minor Affairs Sect. Some time ago, the Minor Affairs Sect’s dam collapsed and the river meandered down again, flowing into the Seven Sects Alliance.”
“The location of the Seven Sects Alliance is the southern part of the Grand Affairs Misfortune Passing Mountain, near the Forbidden Sea. On the other side of the mountain range is the Three Spirits Suppression Mountain.”
“As for the Litu Dao Altar and the Nanyue Ghost Mountain, they are located on the two sides of the Immortal Enrichment River in the west. After the river there passes through the Spirit Sound Forbidden Region, it becomes pitch-black and completely changes. From a good river, it transforms into evil water which is very suitable for the evil god power of the Nanyue Ghost Mountain. Moreover, the Litu Dao Altar itself is strange and doesn’t care much about this.”
“Lastly, there’s the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar. It’s located in the northernmost snowfield and is at the border of the province.”
At this point, in the distant horizon, the sky seemed to be burning and a huge sea of fire rose. Xu Qing lifted his head and stared at it. Gradually, he saw a red sun that was like a huge fireball slowly appearing in his eyes.
“Rest well. We’ll arrive in two days. The moment we get off the ship, suppress those people from the Alliance for me. We have to hide when we should and reveal when we should.” Old Master Seventh voice lingered as his figure disappeared.
Xu Qing looked at the red sun in the distance and sat down cross-legged, silently meditating.
Very soon, two days passed. When a vast horizon in the distance appeared in everyone’s sight, the captain finally recovered and he became lively again. The third highness also returned on time.
The eyes of the various highnesses on the other giant ships gleamed as they rubbed their palms together. The intention of avenging their previous humiliation was especially obvious.
This lasted until the giant ships got closer to the Wanggu Continent. Gradually, a majestic and astonishing city reflected in Xu Qing’s eyes.
This city was so large that there seemed to be no end to it. Comparatively, the Seven Blood Eyes felt like a town. Regardless of scale, population, or luxury, Seven Blood Eyes was far inferior.
The architectural style was very different. The feeling this city gave Xu Qing was similar to the style of Purple Earth. It was filled with magnificence and antiquity but at the same time, it didn’t lack exquisiteness.
From afar, Xu Qing could see seven gigantic mountain peaks of different shapes and sizes standing in this endless city. The distance between them was very large. It was as though the cities here were all built against the mountains and were connected to each other. Only then did they form such a vast and majestic city.
Every mountain emitted astonishing pressure. There were also statues standing at the top of the mountains. Some were of humans, some were sea beasts, some were tall towers, and some were huge swords that wanted to soar into the sky.
Almost at the instant the seven giant ships of the Seven Blood Eyes sailed into the port, the bells of the Seven Sects Alliance rang.
There were a total of 12 rings.
This represented an extremely high level of welcoming etiquette. There were even two ancestors who came to receive the Seven Blood Eyes. They were the ancestors of the Second Peak and the Sixth Peak. There were also the sect masters of the two sects.
Besides them, the disciples of the seven sects stood solemnly on the shore to welcome the Seven Blood Eyes. However, their eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility.
This was especially so for the disciples who belonged to the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect. All of their eyes contained a cold glint as they swept their gazes across the people from the Seven Blood Eyes and finally locked onto Xu Qing.
In reality, they weren’t the only ones. After the disciples of the other sects swept their gazes over, they all looked at Xu Qing. Most of the male disciples’ gazes were strange and complicated. As for the female disciples, their expressions changed slightly and surprise slowly appeared in their eyes.
When they were looking at Xu Qing, the highnesses of the various peaks on the giant ships also stepped out one after another. When they stepped out, they fully displayed their cultivation bases and ignited their life fires, entering the Mystic Brilliance Form.
Although they were not at four fires, each peak had its own characteristics. They had a way to increase their combat strength and break through the limit.
In order to become an upper sect, the Seven Blood Eyes had prepared for so many years. Such a huge plan naturally included the growth of the disciples. It could be said that this generation of disciples was the result of the most concentrated efforts of the various peaks.
At this moment, their imposing auras shook the surroundings.
Bizarre entities’ cries sounded beside some of them, some were covered in high-grade magic artifacts, some had array patterns spreading out with every step they took, and some looked ordinary but their entire bodies were covered in ferocious beast tattoos.
They were itching to start a fight with the disciples of the seven sects on the shore.
As for the seven sects’ disciples, as members of the upper sects, they naturally had their own strong points. All of them also released their auras and stepped forward.
As the auras of both sides clashed, Xu Qing walked out. His expression was as calm as ever as he looked at the shore but he didn’t find anyone familiar.
Not a single heaven’s chosen from the various sects who had been to the Seven Blood Eyes before came. Clearly, they had guessed that the highnesses of the Seven Blood Eyes had gone easy on them previously and that they would come to avenge themselves.
Although Xu Qing didn’t want to be in the limelight, his master had requested it. As such, when the disciples of the various peaks got off the boat and the cultivators of the Seven Sects Alliance on the shore took a step forward in unison, Xu Qing also took a step forward.
With this step, the world changed.
A monstrous aura erupted from Xu Qing’s body, causing the wind and clouds to stir. A storm rose in all directions and rumbled as it spread out. Even the sunlight seemed to gather on his body at this moment.
Not to mention his gaze.
Xu Qing was dressed in a purple robe with golden patterns and wore the Purple Heaven Infinite Crown. There were two canopies above him. One was black, flames flowed along the edges and seemed to form an emperor’s shield, emitted a soul-stirring might.
The other was rainbow colored that shone dazzlingly. As the light circulated, it looked extremely luxurious. There was also the sound of the wind echoing around it that sounded like it came from the nine heavens. It was extremely pleasant to the ears and at the same time, it caused the wind and clouds to surge.
Behind him, a cry rang out, echoing through the clouds. A huge Golden Crow manifested and flew above Xu Qing, looking down at the disciples on the shore.
Coupled with Xu Qing’s peerless appearance, he was like an emperor descending into the human world!
This scene caused the expressions of the Seven Sects Alliance’s disciples on the shore to change drastically. Their minds shook as though lightning had struck them and they had no choice but to retreat.
Xu Qing walked forward. The combat strength of the six fires in his body spread out and formed a terrifying pressure, transforming into terrifying energy fluctuations that seemed capable of destroying everything. This caused the foreheads of the retreating disciples to sweat and horror appeared in their eyes as they retreated again.
One person suppressed the entire shore!
This scene was like a cycle, similar to when Saintly Star stepped into the Seven Blood Eyes.
However, the current Xu Qing was even more terrifying, shocking, and eye-catching than Saintly Star back then. This was because he had two canopies!
“Xu Qing!”
“The number one heaven’s chosen of the Seven Blood Eyes, Xu Qing!”
“The highnesses of the various sects were captured and Saintly Star was defeated by him. Xu Qing has an extremely terrifying combat strength of six fires, and this isn’t his limit!”
“With the enhancement from an emperor-level cultivation art and two life lanterns, he is unmatched. This is peerless talent!”
