Chapter 1087: Promise in the Wind and Rain
Chapter 1087: Promise in the Wind and Rain
From this moment on, there was a layer of smoke in the sky of the ancient continent.
It was the smoke and fire of the human world. It was the human world.
It was the sword intent of Swordsage Great Emperor that had colored it.
He bought thirty years of time for the people of the ancient continent.
Of course, only the people felt it.
Because to the gods, this was just a war between cultivators. It had nothing to do with them.
The reason why some chose to interfere was because they didn't want to reduce their incense offerings.
For example, the three gods of the Flaming Moon were of this kind.
Other than her, there was no one else who was truly like the Empress.
And the gods who chose to absorb the incense offerings of the ancient continent were only a part of the gods of the ancient continent.
Most of the gods were sleeping in their own places.
They didn't make a move.
In the end, the battle between cultivators was just a game.
The gods didn't care how it was carried out.
As for Swordsage Great Emperor, he didn't care what the gods thought. All his thoughts were in that sword.
At this moment, blood rain fell from the sky and sprinkled on the world.
It was the rain of Summer Immortal's death.
In the rain, Swordsage Great Emperor stood between heaven and earth. He turned his head and took one last look at the human world. Then … he smiled slightly.
"It's hard to let go of obsession with life and death.
Once I let go, I will be reborn. "
His smile was eternal.
The death aura on his body drowned his entire body. His flesh and blood faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering his entire body and turning into a body of mud and stone.
His three souls of heaven, earth, and human left his body.
The human soul returned to the memories of the human race. The earth soul returned to the mountains and rivers of the human race. The same went for the heaven soul.
There were also the seven souls.
The souls of the five human emperors were returned one after another and awakened.
The past and future that the Empress had sent out were also sent back by Swordsage Great Emperor with a smile.
It also included the emperor sword in his hand.
He let go of his hand, and the emperor sword drew an arc and landed in front of Xu Qing.
The rain was even heavier.
Xu Qing and the Empress stood in the rain and watched this scene. The sadness in their hearts rose and didn't dissipate for a long time.
Until the wind blew from afar, passing through thousands of mountains and colliding with the blood rain, it became an unforgettable echo that reverberated in their hearts.
In the end, it turned into a soft sigh.
Xu Qing lowered his head and bowed deeply to the statue of the Great Emperor.
The Empress remained silent and bowed to bid him farewell.
This scene was like a painting that was imprinted in the hearts of all the cultivators who sensed this place.
........
One month later.
The war on the Wanggu Continent came to an end as the Profound rank Holy Lands collapsed one after another.
That ancient Summer Immortal was unable to descend, and he did not request for the other four Earthly Holy Lands to descend.
Because that would be meaningless.
As a result, the Yellow Rank Holy Lands that existed in the Wanggu became an abandoned army, just like how their ancestors had abandoned the Wanggu.
Under the eruption of the Myriad Races, these Yellow Rank Holy Lands did not even have the option of surrendering.
Only death awaited them.
On the other hand, the struggle before death was merely delaying for time. But no matter how much time he delayed, he was unable to delay for 30 years.
As for the human race …
He had completely risen.
Whether it was the current empress or Sword Emperor Great Emperor, they had made the Human Race shine once more, becoming a ray of light in the darkness.
Thus, a month later, in the endless rain, in the human race's imperial capital, the rain continued to fall.
The door of an ancient temple opened.
Two figures walked out from inside.
One was Xu Qing.
The other was Erniu.
Xu Qing's eyes were filled with a hint of confusion.
Erniu's face was filled with a thick haze, and there was worry in the depths of his eyes.
Behind them, a sigh came from the temple.
"I have told you all. Next, the Summer Palace of the entire Wanggu Continent will be closed."
"The Summer Palace of the Wanggu Continent will make all preparations before every Wanggu Catastrophe. We will invite powerhouses and geniuses to sleep in the Immortal Origin with us."
"These powerhouses and geniuses are the seeds of the civilizations of the various races."
"After the catastrophe is over, we will wake up. If the world has changed, then our mission is to rebuild the civilization of the cultivators. The previous catastrophes were all like this."
"The others have been sent one after another. Xu Qing, Chen Erniu, it's up to you how you choose. Give me an answer as soon as possible."
That was the voice of the Summer Palace Master.
As the words left his mouth, the door of the temple slowly closed. The entire temple began to fade away under the rain. Once it was completely gone, it would fall into a deep slumber.
There was not much time left.
Xu Qing and Erniu were silent under the curtain of rain.
They had received the summons of the Summer Palace Master half a month ago after the end of the eastern war and came to meet her.
In this half a month, the Summer Palace Master had given them opportunities and opportunities.
Xu Qing's Immortal Body was more stable, and his Divine Body had been reintegrated with his consciousness with the help of the Summer Palace Master.
As for Erniu, his opportunities and opportunities were mainly the skull of his third life and the memories that he had obtained.
Under the guidance of the Summer Palace Master in an unknown way, Erniu seemed to have recalled more memories.
But this was not the main point of their confusion and haze.
The reason why they had such expressions after leaving the Summer Palace was because of the tireless information from the Summer Palace Master in the last few days.
"Xu Qing, the moment you walked the path of the Immortal Realm and formed your Immortal Body, I helped you because … your master came."
"Your master paid the price in exchange for my help."
"Even if I called you here this time to help you stabilize your Immortal Body and restore your Divine Body, it was all because of your master. Your master … has paid a lot."
"Chen Erniu, you are the same."
"Your origin is mysterious. Your master also came to the Summer Palace back then and after paying a sufficient price, he went to investigate the history. But in the records of the Summer Palace, there were only records of your third life."
"As for your second life and your first life, there are no records of them. Perhaps only you know."
"And we don't know much about your third life. It seems that there is a force that erased it, and the Summer Palace is not supposed to open this part of the content to anyone."
"But your master paid a part of his origin for this and did not hesitate to sacrifice his authority. Finally, from the Immortal Origin, he obtained this opportunity for you."
"He let you integrate the history of the Summer Palace and let you remember more about … who you are."
"You have a good master."
........
In the rain, Xu Qing raised his head and looked in the direction of the Southern Phoenix Continent.
"Eldest Senior Brother, Master … is making arrangements."
Xu Qing murmured.
Er Niu was silent. After a while, he spoke slowly.
"Go back and ask the old man what's going on."
As he spoke, Er Niu's body flickered, and he headed straight for the teleportation formation of the Imperial Capital.
Xu Qing nodded and walked over with Er Niu.
At this moment, they put everything aside. The most important thing now was to return to the Southern Phoenix Continent and see their Master.
Ask about everything.
Not long after, the formation of the Imperial Capital rumbled, and Xu Qing and Er Niu disappeared.
A few days later, in the forbidden sea between the Southern Phoenix Continent and the Royal Welcome Continent, a pagoda broke through the void and crossed the forbidden sea at an astonishing speed.
At dusk, it appeared above the Seven Blood Eyes, and then the pagoda disappeared. At the top of the seventh peak of the Seven Blood Eyes, outside the cave where Master Seven was in seclusion, Xu Qing and Er Niu suddenly appeared.
They knelt down and bowed.
After a long time.
A sigh reverberated within the cave.
"Why didn't the two of you follow the Summer Immortal Palace to sleep in the Land of the Immortal Sources? What are you doing here?"
"Master."
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the cave, and a sense of loss rose in his heart.
Er Niu's expression had been gloomy these days. At this moment, he raised his head and spoke loudly.
"Old man, what's wrong with you!"
The door of the cave opened with a bang, and Master Seven walked out and glared at Er Niu.
"Are you itching for a beating?"
Seeing that Master Seven was normal, Er Niu heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly put on a fawning expression and chuckled.
Master Seven snorted. His gaze fell on Xu Qing, and he nodded slightly.
"You've done well."
Then he raised his head and looked at the sky. Just as Xu Qing and Er Niu were about to ask, his voice echoed.
"I know what the two of you want to ask.
"This is nothing more than a request to explain the future affairs of your master."
Xu Qing and Er Niu were shocked, and their hearts began to sway.
"Although I did pay the price for everything the Summer Immortal Palace did for you, I'm your Master, and this is what I should do.
"It's not just you, many people of the Seven Blood Eyes, and that useless Third Brother have been sent to sleep."
"As for Second Sister, she has her own choices. I do not wish to interfere."
"The reason why I'm doing this is just in case."
"I have karma with the Ancient Immortal in that heaven-level Holy Land."
"However, it's not that I don't have confidence. That sword strike also bought me some time. So now, the two of you should hurry up and scram. Don't waste my cultivation time.
Master Qi glared at Er Niu and nodded at Xu Qing.
After that, before the two of them could say anything, he flicked his sleeve and swept them away, and then he placed his hands behind his back and returned to his place of closed door cultivation.
With a boom, the door to seclusion slammed down.
Back in the Immortal's cave, Lord Seven stood there silently for a long moment. Then he sighed.
"The weather is going to change. Can my umbrella … cover it …?"
Seventh Master slowly sat down and closed his eyes.
Regardless of whether it was possible or not, he had to fight for it so that his umbrella could continue shielding his disciple from the wind and rain.
.......
Outside the Seven Blood Eyes, the wind howled in the sky.
Xu Qing and Er Niu's figures were swept up here. They did not speak to each other, and suppressed emotions filled their hearts.
Although Lord Seven had said it casually, Xu Qing and Er Niu were no longer children, and they had their own judgment.
"The old man … is old. He's already so old, yet he's still working so hard …"
Er Niu muttered a few words and looked at Xu Qing.
"Little Ah Qing, go sleep in the Summer Immortal Palace. You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll deal with the old man."
"Isn't he just an Ancient Immortal? What is he?"
"I've already found clues about my second life from the memories of my third life. The source of those clues is related to the Brilliant Heaven God Race."
"So, I'm preparing to make a trip to the place where the Brilliant Heaven God Race is sealed."
"There, I'll find my second life. At that time … as the Eldest Senior Brother, I, Er Niu, will hold up the sky of our bloodline!"
Er Niu proudly patted Xu Qing's shoulder.
"That place is too dangerous for you. After all, if you die, you'll really die, unlike me."
"So, this time, I won't go with you."
"Little Ah Qing, you have to be obedient and go to the Summer Immortal Palace. Believe me, in 30 years, Eldest Senior Brother and Master will wake you up."
Er Niu looked into Xu Qing's eyes and said seriously.
"If you don't go, I won't be at ease."
Xu Qing was silent for a while, then nodded.
"I'll send you off first. It's on the way anyway."
Er Niu thought about it and didn't give Xu Qing any time. He pulled him straight to the teleportation array and used the array to return to the Human Race's Imperial Capital.
The entrance of the Brilliant Heaven God Race was under the Human Race's Imperial Capital.
Along the way, Xu Qing remained silent until Er Niu forcefully sent him to the temple of the Summer Immortal Palace. When the door opened and he saw the Summer Immortal Palace Master, Er Niu spoke loudly.
"Senior, I won't go. My Junior Brother will."
As he spoke, he pushed Xu Qing in.
Xu Qing looked at Er Niu through the gate of the temple.
Er Niu laughed.
"Okay, Junior Brother, see you in 30 years."
As he spoke, Er Niu's body blurred and disappeared.
The gate of the temple also closed silently, and the temple became blurry.
A few days later, when the temple completely disappeared, Er Niu walked out of hiding, and his heart finally calmed down.
"You're finally obedient for once. Then I'm relieved."
As he muttered, Er Niu took a deep breath, and madness appeared in his eyes. He turned around and went straight to the entrance of the sealed Brilliant Heaven God Race.
He had his own way to go to the Brilliant Heaven God Race through there.
And just as Er Niu stepped on the road, the disappeared temple reappeared in the rain.
It was very blurry, as if it would disappear at any time.
The gate opened.
Xu Qing's figure walked out from inside.
Behind him, the voice of the Summer Immortal Palace Master echoed.
"Are you sure you don't want to go to the Immortal Origin to sleep?"
"I'm not going."
Xu Qing said softly.
The Summer Immortal Palace Master stared at Xu Qing and stopped persuading him. The gate closed, and the temple completely disappeared.
Only Xu Qing stood in the rain.
He knew that everyone was preparing for the thirty years that the Sword Emperor fought for.
Master was cultivating in seclusion.
Senior Brother went to the Brilliant Heaven God Race.
After the Empress returned a month ago, she went to the ghost cave in the Emperor Welcoming State.
Not only the Human Race, but also the other races.
All those with abilities were making their own preparations.
"Thirty years …"
Xu Qing raised his head and looked in the direction of the outer sea.
There was a touch of determination and decisiveness in his eyes.
