Chapter 1045: Being Arrogant by Order
Xu Qing's voice echoed in the main hall of the Tenth Mountain Imperial Sovereign!
The Empress raised her head and looked at Xu Qing!
"The authority of this god is supreme, especially the variables of fate. Even I can't see through it!"
I can only tell you that the authority of the Upper Desolate is fate!
Between you and Ziqing, one is formed from the flesh and blood of the Upper Desolate, while the other is reborn from the Upper Desolate's family!
"At the same time, with your master's slash, the fate of the Upper Kingdom of Ziqing was plundered for you, causing the return of the Upper Kingdom of Ziqing to be incomplete!"
"And you and Ziqing are close relatives in this life!"
These are like the entanglements of fate, destined to converge in the future!
This is a debate between fixed and variable, a battle between fate and fate.
It is also a battle between you and Ziqing to decide your fate!
The Empress retracted her gaze from Xu Qing and looked at the distant sky.
There seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes, as if … she could see that day through her sleeves!
Then, it dimmed!
Xu Qing was silent!
He saw the dimness in the Empress' eyes, but he didn't ask. Because what she saw was actually a fixed range!
Variables couldn't be seen!
Since fate was controlled by oneself, then the future also needed to be drawn by oneself with a carving knife!
Since it was drawing the lives of others, it was also carving one's own life!
Therefore, Xu Qing looked at the Empress calmly and bowed!
Thank you for your explanation, Your Majesty. I wonder if there is anything I can help you with in the Dark Feather Sacred Ground?
If there is, Xu Qing will do his best to complete it.
The Empress nodded slightly!
Originally there wasn't!
Xu Qing blinked. He understood the hidden meaning behind those words!
But considering that you are a little restless, from now on, you will follow me!
In three days, I will go to the Western Dark Feather Sacred Ground as Lu Lingzi to meet the Dark Feather Sacred Ground of this generation and discuss the details of the opening of the Dark Feather Sacred Ground!
At that time, you will come with me!
Now, you can rest outside the hall and recover your fragile soul!
The Empress raised her hand, and a pill bottle and a jade slip flew to Xu Qing!
Xu Qing took the pill bottle and sensed that there was a medicinal pill inside. It was obviously a pill that nourished the soul, and the jade slip had the same function. Gratitude welled up in his heart, and he bowed once more before leaving the hall.
Outside the hall, Xu Qing took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged to meditate. Then, he swallowed the medicinal pill in the pill bottle!
As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it melted, forming strands of soul-nourishing medicinal energy that fused into his sea of consciousness!
The effect of this pill was quite good. When it fell into Xu Qing's Sea of Consciousness, it was as if rain had appeared on a withered land, as if withered plants had been reborn. Xu Qing's soul, which had dimmed due to the World Essence Mystic Realm, rapidly recovered!
Three days passed!
Xu Qing's soul recovered by 50% under the effects of the medicinal pill!
Although he hadn't completely recovered, it didn't affect his combat strength too much. He would need some time to recuperate. At the same time, the power of the jade slip was slowly manifesting. Xu Qing had a premonition that in at most a month, he would be able to gradually recover to his peak state!
As for the Empress, she walked out of the great hall at dusk and stepped into the sky!
Xu Qing immediately stood up and followed behind!
At the foot of the tenth Sovereign's Mountain, a large number of Dark Feather cultivators were gathered there. As dusk fell, they saw a scene that caused them to prostrate themseLues in worship!
The Sovereign was walking through the air.
This was the first time Lu Lingzi had publicly stepped out of the Sovereign's Mountain!
As for Xu Qing, he was the first to catch the attention of all who were watching, and their minds were shaken!
Some of them recognized Master Blood Chenzi, but even more had personally witnessed Xu Qing's visit to the Sovereign's Mountain. When Xu Qing had been allowed to enter the Sovereign's Mountain, their hearts had been filled with shock!
Now that they saw Xu Qing following the Sovereign's Mountain, they immediately understood.
The meaning behind it all was clear!
He had become the follower of the tenth Sovereign. Henceforth, his status and position would be completely different from before. If he went down the mountain alone, he would be able to command the respect of all the earth cultivators gathered at the foot of the mountain!
Complicated feelings of unwillingness rose up in many people's hearts!
Regardless, they had to forcibly suppress those feelings. They couldn't reveal even the slightest bit. The only thing they could reveal … was respect!
As everyone prostrated themseLues in worship, Xu Qing followed the Empress up into the sky!
The Empress didn't move very quickly, but with each step she took, Heaven and Earth seemed to blur.
The fluctuations of a Sovereign's Mountain were extremely obvious!
As the Empress walked out, she immediately attracted the attention of the other Sovereigns of Eastern Demon Yu. Heavy gazes were focused on her from a distance!
Xu Qing instinctively restrained his aura, but after seeing the Empress's calmness, he also gained confidence!
After all, she was at the peak of the Divine Platform Tier, and dared to meet Great Emperor Dark Feather. Obviously, the Empress had absolute confidence!
Since that was the case, he didn't need to think too much about following her!
Thinking of this, Xu Qing raised his head and also calmed down!
Just like that, under the gazes of the other Sovereigns of Eastern Demon Yu, the Empress led Xu Qing through the sky. After a few steps, they left Eastern Demon Yu's territory and stepped into Western Demon Yu's territory!
The moment they appeared in Western Demon Yu, even more Sovereigns' gazes fell from the sky!
For a moment, the earth rumbled, the void distorted, and traces of laws and rules shone in all directions. At the moment when the gazes fell, divine senses swept across the place domineeringly!
They landed on the Empress without hesitation!
The Empress was expressionless and continued forward!
Xu Qing's expression was the same as usual as he followed with his head lowered.
Although Western Demon Yu's Sovereign Mountain far exceeded Eastern Demon Yu's, there were twenty-one of them!
But Xu Qing could feel that these Sovereigns' gazes only swept over him, and the main focus was on the Empress.
This made Xu Qing feel almost no pressure!
He only needed to be a good follower!
However, he also felt that the gazes of those Sovereigns that came out of nowhere were filled with ill intent, and such a strong attitude was obviously a warning and contempt for this new Sovereign of Eastern Demon Yu, Lu Lingzi!
This contempt naturally had a deeper purpose, so it didn't just come from the Sovereigns!
It also included this generation's Great Emperor Dark Feather!
The Empress's visit was fruitless!
Great Emperor Dark Feather's Dao Platform, after the Empress stated her intention, did not immediately summon her. Instead, the Great Emperor's disciple, a middle-aged cultivator who was also a new Sovereign, issued a decree to the Empress!
This decree only had one word!
"Wait."
After saying that, this new Sovereign looked at the Empress with a scrutinizing gaze and said coldly.
"Lu Lingzi, when you and I exchanged pointers in the past, there was no victory or defeat. Now that you have advanced, why don't we fight again!"
As soon as these words came out, thunder rumbled in the sky, and an oppressive feeling suddenly descended!
The Empress's expression didn't change at all. She didn't even look at the disciple of the Dark Feather Emperor. Instead, she turned to Xu Qing and spoke.
"Xi Chenzi!"
"I'm here."
Xu Qing immediately bowed.
"Go and spar with all the Soul Accumulations under the Imperial Sovereigns of the Western Demon Feather. Don't disgrace the name of the Eastern Demon Feather!"
As soon as he said this, all the Sovereigns who were watching the scene turned to Xu Qing. Even the Sovereign who had announced Great Emperor Fazhi's arrival shifted his gaze from the Empress to Xu Qing!
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. He understood the meaning behind the Empress's words. She wanted him to go and show off!
However, his Divine Power and Authority were his main weapons. Hence, his biggest problem was that he would be exposed if he fought!
But since the Empress had said so, she must have considered this. Hence, Xu Qing didn't hesitate. Killing intent surged from his body as he accepted the order.
"As you command."
With that, he shot off into the distance.
The Empress remained silent.
Meanwhile, Xu Qing's mind was spinning. On one hand, he was guessing how the Empress had concealed her attack. On the other hand, he was recalling what he knew about the Western Demon Feather from Xue Chenzi's memories.
The Western Demon Feather had twenty-one Mountain Imperial Sovereigns. The strongest was the second Mountain Imperial Sovereign, followed by the first, third, and seventeenth!
'The Empress wants me to spar, so the most suitable place for the first battle is …'
Xu Qing looked to the north.
That was the direction of the seventeenth Mountain Imperial Sovereign!
"That's it."
As for how the Empress concealed her attack, there's a high chance that …
Xu Qing touched the jade slip that the Empress had given him.
He had thought that the jade slip was only used to nourish the soul. But now, it was very likely that the Empress had specially prepared it for him.
She had prepared something to conceal herself!
With that thought, Xu Qing rushed toward the seventeenth Mountain Imperial Sovereign without any hesitation.
His speed was pushed to the limit, and the sound of sonic booms echoed in all directions!
After half an hour, the towering seventeenth Mountain Imperial Sovereign appeared before Xu Qing's eyes.
As he neared, Xu Qing's voice boomed like thunder.
It exploded!
"Xue Chenzi, the tenth Imperial Sovereign of the Eastern Demon Feather, challenges the Soul Accumulations under the seventeenth Mountain Imperial Sovereign of the Western Demon Feather!"
Almost at the same time that Xu Qing spoke, a cold snort came from the seventeenth Mountain Imperial Sovereign!
"Chen Fei, go and suppress him."
The Imperial Sovereigns of the Western Demon Feather had heard what the empress had said to Xu Qing!
From their point of view, since Lu Lingzi didn't want to fight and instead sent out a follower, then … after suppressing this follower, Lu Lingzi would have no reason not to fight!
Thus, in the blink of an eye, as the cold snort echoed, a figure flew out from the mountain!
This was a middle-aged cultivator. He was tall and burly, and his cultivation base fluctuated violently. Shockingly, there were seven great worlds shining brightly on his body!
After he flew out, he stopped in midair and bowed to the mountain. Then, he turned his head and looked at Xu Qing with a fierce gaze!
Then, with a single step, he headed straight for Xu Qing!
Seven Great Worlds exploded, forming a terrifying might. Xu Qing's expression was calm as he raised his right hand and pressed it in the direction of Chen Fei. Then, he clenched his fist!
Instantly, the music in his body exploded!
All of the sounds around Chen Fei transformed into deadly energy that swirled out to form a gigantic sphere. The deadly energy within it transformed into a vast and mighty sound wave that could shake anything and everything!
Such a technique caused Chen Fei's expression to flicker, and his mind to tremble.
However, what he was looking at was not the deadly energy of the sound, but rather, countless shocking blood seals!
Each seal was filled with the stench of blood and contained extraordinary power. Furthermore, when they were combined, they gave off a mysterious feeling!
He immediately lost the initiative!
In this moment of crisis, his seven Great Worlds flashed with light.
His hands flashed in a double-handed incantation gesture. Shockingly, seven different, bizarre statues rose up from the seven Great Worlds!
The statues flickered, revealing their true forms. They charged out from their respective Great Worlds toward Xu Qing!
Xu Qing's face was expressionless. As the seven true forms closed in, he vanished, fusing with the sound. When he reappeared, he was behind Chen Fei!
The power of the Divine Right in his eyes was dazzling!
He saw Chen Fei's Karma threads, and his seven emotions and six desires were stirred!
Using Karma to lock onto his life, using emotions to create waves!
Shocking the mind!
Then, the Profound Sun Immortal Light turned into a sun that rose into the sky above Chen Fei's sea of consciousness. It formed endless light and heat that instantly enveloped Chen Fei and suppressed him!
Thunderous booms filled the sky. Chen Fei had only lost the initiative due to the power of the Divine Right, and he was forced into a passive position. At this moment, before he could fully unleash his abilities, he was severely injured by the Profound Sun Immortal Light. His body crashed to the ground with a boom!
Xu Qing instantly chased after him. He raised his hand and punched Chen Fei's chest, causing his injuries to worsen!
All of this seemed to have happened in the blink of an eye!
Almost at the same moment that Xu Qing displayed his Godly Power and Divine Right, the jade slip that the Empress gave him silently fused with it, perfectly concealing all of his techniques!
Therefore, the power of the Divine Right that he displayed in this battle became related to blood!
The seal of the Divine Right became a Dao technique, and the Immortal light and sun became a secret technique!
And such a quick end to the battle caused the hearts of the cultivators who were watching the battle on the 17th Mountain of Sovereigns to tremble. There was a moment of silence!
Xu Qing recalled the Empress' request and looked down from above.
He looked at Chen Fei!
"You're too weak!"
Even as he spoke, he kicked Chen Fei's body toward the Mountain of Sovereigns!
Then, he coolly said, "This Mountain of Sovereigns is here!
"This mountain is full of spirit, who else wants to fight?"
When Chen Fei heard this, his heart filled with unwillingness. He still had many techniques that he had yet to use. Furthermore, his previous defeat was clearly due to his own negligence!
He wanted to say something, but as his body slammed into the ground, his injuries were so severe that he coughed up another mouthful of blood!
At the same time, a deep voice suddenly echoed out from within the 17th Mountain of Sovereigns!
Originally, I didn't want to bully the weak, but since Master Blood Dust has taken the initiative to ask for it, then … I'll do it!
Even as the voice spoke, a terrifying aura that surpassed Chen Fei's erupted out from within the 17th Mountain of Sovereigns. Then, the figure of an old man appeared out of nowhere!
He had crimson hair, and his entire body radiated a terrifying aura.
Nine worlds appeared, not on his body, but on his back. Because of those worlds, the old man gave off the feeling that he was infinitely close to being a god!
He walked step by step toward Xu Qing!
Nine worlds of the Soul Accumulation.
Xu Qing's eyes flickered imperceptibly. He wasn't confident in being able to shake the Nine worlds of the Soul Accumulation. Therefore, he looked at the approaching cultivator and shook his head!
"You're not a match for me either!"
However, since you've said that you want to bully the weak, then I'll stand here and allow you to attack me three times. If you can even injure me, then you win!
With that, Xu Qing landed on the ground, clasped his hands behind his back, and looked at the old man!
