Chapter 1040: I make a wish...
The first Star Ring was roughly triangular in shape. Its interior was blurry, as if it was shrouded by a supreme force.
The second Star Ring was much clearer. There were also marks inside, but they were only outlines.
The third and fourth Star Rings were similar.
However, the fifth Star Ring was different. The mark of the old man sitting cross-legged in the center was much clearer.
Looking at the other Star Rings, there were also terrifying marks. Some were clear, and some were only outlines. They were of different sizes and shapes.
Looking at these marks, Xu Qing's mind roared violently.
When he was reborn with the flesh of the Upper Desolate, his consciousness had some vague knowledge, such as the 36 Star Rings!
When he went to the outer sea with the Jade Glazed Dust and was swallowed by the giant whale, he met the Immortal Capital who claimed to be from the fifth Star Ring.
The old man!
The conversation with the old man broadened Xu Qing's vision. He was sure that the universe he was in was one of the 36 Star Rings!
However, that was all. He knew the information, but there was no concrete picture. He didn't know which Star Ring he was in!
Therefore, when the star map of the 36 Star Rings appeared in front of him, his mind roared violently. The waves were enough to make his sea of consciousness churn violently!
He finally knew which Star Ring he was in!
The ninth Star Ring.
In the ninth Star Ring, there were many forces. There were terrifying marks in the north, south, east, and west.
However, Xu Qing didn't know whether it was an illusion or not. Whether it was the giant beast, the golden river, the black tower, or the paper man, they were all pointing in the direction of the broken face!
They seemed to be attracted to it!
Moreover, in terms of clarity, the Broken Face was the clearest mark within the 36 Star Rings.
There was no other!
As for the other marks in the ninth Star Ring, the old man's mark in the fifth Star Ring, and even all the other marks in the 36 Star Rings, they were relatively weaker. Only the first Star Ring was blurry, so he couldn't see clearly. He didn't know if there was a terrifying existence like the broken face in it!
Anyway, the star map in front of him opened up Xu Qing's world in an instant. It was as if the sky and earth were splitting open!
The world was in front of him!
The starry sky was also in his eyes!
Star Rings, Infinite Tide!
In comparison, the Wanggu Continent was like a grain of sand on the beach. It was insignificant. However, because of the existence of the Upper Desolate, this grain of sand was extremely bright!
Therefore, after a long time, Xu Qing took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down!
"The face fragment is a half-step Divine Enlightened… That's why it's so dazzling!"
"Then, how strong are the four marks on the ninth ring? Are they Divine Lord?
Divine Venerable? "
"It's most likely the latter!"
"Then, did the Fragmented Face come from the ninth space ring or from another space ring?"
"East, West, North, South, East, and West are all faintly affected by the fragments."
Xu Qing muttered to himself. He was unfamiliar with the giant beast, and Jin He had never seen anything similar to it. However, he had seen something similar to the black tower!
I fused the broken tower under the Forbidden Sea into my wings to form the Sacred Heavenly Pagoda. I wonder if there is a connection between it and the Black Pagoda!
"As for the last paper doll?"
Xu Qing's eyes shone with a dark light. He thought of De Luozi, who had appeared in the battle where Swordsage Grand Emperor had perished.
"De Luozi's method is related to paper. Is it related to this paper doll?"
After a long time, Xu Qing suppressed all the thoughts that were bursting out in his mind.
What he had seen today was too shocking. He needed some time to digest it!
And this was obviously not a suitable place!
Therefore, Xu Qing swept his gaze around and spread out his divine perception. After a while, Xu Qing raised his head and looked into the distant void!
He did not find the face that had escaped here!
However, the preciousness of this star map was, to a certain extent, astonishing!
Therefore, Xu Qing imprinted it in his mind. After firmly memorizing it, his body shook and he began to explore a wider area!
However, he instinctively did not approach the vast star map!
The first layer of the jade slip, the candle flame, had a terrifying assimilation power. Xu Qing knew that he had to be careful on the second layer!
It was very likely that there was a similar assimilation here!
Just like that, two hours passed!
As Xu Qing searched, an inexplicable sense of danger gradually rose in his heart!
It was getting stronger and stronger!
At this moment, it had reached a level of fear and trepidation!
This made Xu Qing even more certain of his previous guess!
"I can't stay here for long!"
Although it was a pity that he did not find the face on this trip, and there was a high chance that he would not be able to find it after leaving this layer and returning to the remnant image where the candle flame was, Xu Qing did not achieve his goal!
However, Xu Qing was clear about one thing. Sometimes, fate was like this!
He had seen it twice and searched for it twice, but both times, he had failed!
This meant that … the face might have its own will and it did not want to be found!
"What a pity!"
Xu Qing sighed softly and touched the jade bottle in his storage bag!
"I hope the white dust inside is enough for me to study and use!"
Thinking of this, Xu Qing no longer hesitated. His body flickered and he shot towards the spatial rift that led to this place!
"I've stayed in this World Essence Mystic Realm for a long time. To be safe, it's better to leave!"
Xu Qing's speed was extremely fast. Like Chang Hong, he sped through the void and soon returned to the spatial rift!
He had left a strand of divine sense here. After checking that everything was fine, he stepped out and approached the spatial rift. He was about to return to the upper level of the candle flame world!
But just as Xu Qing's figure was about to pass through the spatial rift, a strange yet familiar aura came from the void behind him!
After Xu Qing sensed it, his body shook. His cultivation erupted and his dual heavenly god authority shone. He turned around and stared at the void!
There were waves of ripples spreading out from that place!
Almost as soon as Xu Qing looked over, an object appeared out of thin air at the center of the ripples!
It was a mask.
His appearance was the same face that Xu Qing had seen twice but failed to find!
But now, it had materialized into a mask!
It was as if this was its main body!
At this moment, it was facing Xu Qing, as if it was observing him. At the same time, it was shaking, as if it was ready to flee at the slightest movement!
Xu Qing remained vigilant and didn't act rashly. Instead, he stood in front of the spatial rift and observed it.
"When I went to find it, it hid from me. But when I gave up, it took the initiative to appear!"
Just like that, an incense stick of time passed!
Neither side did anything. They just looked at each other. The mask no longer shook like before. It seemed that because Xu Qing didn't attack, it was less vigilant!
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and pondered how to capture the mask. The mask seemed to be able to sense Xu Qing's thoughts and began to blur, as if it was about to disappear!
Xu Qing frowned and dismissed the idea of attacking. When he thought about how this thing had appeared when he wasn't looking for it, he simply gave up on the idea of capturing it!
Almost as soon as he gave up on this idea, the mask became clear once more. It stared at Xu Qing for a while and suddenly began to fluctuate. Its lips parted and a numb voice entered Xu Qing's mind!
"You, what wish do you want to make?"
Xu Qing was silent. The vigilance in his heart grew even stronger. He didn't know what this mask was, but it was still able to speak!
However, he had seen a lot of strange things in his life, so he had his own judgment. He understood that some words could not be casually replied!
However, even as Xu Qing pondered the matter, the mask noticed that Xu Qing wasn't replying, and once again began to fade away.
Seeing this, Xu Qing's eyes flashed and he suddenly spoke.
"I make a wish."
Once he finished speaking, the blurred mask paused for a moment, then became clear again. It stared at Xu Qing as Xu Qing took a step back and stepped into the rift behind him!
In an instant, his figure disappeared!
When he reappeared, he was no longer at the level of the star map, but at the level where the red candle flame was!
Light and heat rushed to his face!
Xu Qing ignored it and quickly looked at the crack to see if the mask would follow them!
Soon, ripples appeared in the space crack he was looking at. The mask really did fly out with Xu Qing!
The moment he appeared, he stared at Xu Qing!
It was as if he was waiting for Xu Qing to say the contents of his wish!
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and then shot off into the distance. At the same time, he kept an eye on the mask!
A hint of hesitation appeared on the mask's face, but it soon chose to follow and fly toward Xu Qing!
It was as if Xu Qing's words had achieved some kind of cause!
Xu Qing hadn't said what he wished for, so this was the case.
There was no cause!
Thus, the mask no longer left but followed behind Xu Qing!
Just like this, after flying for half an incense stick of time, Xu Qing suddenly retreated and appeared behind the mask. He reached out and grabbed!
This time, the mask didn't disappear like before, but allowed Xu Qing to grab it!
In his hand, the mask looked at Xu Qing as if it was still waiting for Xu Qing to say the contents of his wish!
Xu Qing's face was expressionless as he casually placed the mask in his sleeve!
Xu Qing didn't feel at ease putting this item in his bag of holding. After all, this was a living thing!
And sealing it could be done with malicious intent.
It could break the current state of both parties!
Especially after the previous test, Xu Qing judged that before he said the contents of his wish, this item would continue to follow him!
So it was very suitable to hide in his sleeve!
As for the specifics of this mask, the karma of making a wish, and the matter of the white dust, Xu Qing planned to carefully study them after leaving the World Essence Secret Realm!
Now that he had completed his goal and there was a risk of being assimilated by Chang Jiu, Xu Qing didn't hesitate. He immediately took out the token of the World Essence Secret Realm and was about to leave!
But when he squeezed, the red candle flame in the distance suddenly burst into flames and enveloped everything, including Xu Qing!
He didn't know if it was because of the flame, but the token didn't react at all.
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the red candle!
"Is it because the mask is on me, so the red candle won't let me leave?"
"So I'm leaving?"
"Or is there some other reason that caused the red candle flame to shine so brightly?"
"Or maybe it's just a coincidence!"
Xu Qing pondered and squeezed the token again. The red candle flame shone once more, causing the token to lose its effect!
The malicious intent emitted by this scene caused Xu Qing's face to sink!
