Chapter 1098: Cause and Effect Outside
"Based on what I know, Lord Lingdu had to sell several shockingly powerful treasures, as well as pay a great deal of favors in exchange for this medallion."
"His goal was most likely to give it to someone as a gift ā¦ as such, he only put it away and did not open it.
"Otherwise, after he died, his Ghost Mark would have appeared on the Permission Medallion," the young man said carefully.
The young man spoke carefully. He told everything he knew, not daring to hide anything. He even concealed the hatred in his heart, not revealing a single bit.
He knew that the person in front of him would be able to detect even the slightest bit of the resentment in his heart and the thought of revealing his secret. This would bring him eternal damnation.
As such, he was incredibly cautious.
As for Xu Qing, he stood in the air and listened to the young man's words. As he thought to himself, his gaze fell on the Permission Medallion.
Indeed, there was no sign of any Ghost Seal on it.
As such, Xu Qing expressionlessly looked at the young man and spoke calmly.
"Continue."
The young man's heart trembled; he could not tell from Xu Qing's expression whether or not he was satisfied with his answer. The feeling of death was still intense, so he racked his brains and searched through all of his memories before speaking again.
"Senior, compared to the number of cultivators in the fifth star ring, this Permission Medallion is very rare. However, some people think that it's good luck, while others think that it's bad luck.
"If one has enough battle strength, they can use it to soar into the heavens, but if they don't have enough battle strength, holding this Permission Medallion ā¦ is equivalent to taking half a step onto the path of death.
"This is because those with Permission Medallions will not only face the greed of those without Permission Medallions, but they will also have to face the plundering of those with Permission Medallions.
"After all, the Immortal Capital's requirements are only announced at the end, so unless one is in the top 100 ā¦ it won't be safe.
"As such ā¦ the plundering and killing will naturally be intense, and the ranking will be based on the number of Permission Medallions one has.
"If one kills those with Permission Medallions, one can obtain their Permission Medallion and all of the marks on it."
Speaking to there, the young man paused. He had basically told Xu Qing everything he knew about the Permission Medallion.
"Is this the only way to enter the Immortal Capital?"
Xu Qing suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the young man hurriedly replied respectfully.
"There's another way."
"That is, you have to cultivate until you reach the Great Emperor level. Outside the Immortal Capital, once you reach the Great Emperor level, you are not allowed to participate in the hunt. You will be given a temporary slot. If you can break through to the Summer Immortal level within five hundred years, you can stay in the Immortal Capital forever."
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
"So you're saying that in all the areas outside the Immortal Capital of the Fifth Star Ring, the highest cultivation base is the Great Emperor?"
The young man shook his head.
"That's not the case. There are countless Sects and Clans in the fifth star ring, and there is no lack of almighty Lower Immortals. After all, not all Lower Immortals choose to stay in the Capital of Immortality."
"Quite a few people from the Immortal Capital will be arranged to patrol the sky outside."
"Aside from a few lone travelers, most of these Lower Immortals are Patriarchs of major sects and clans."
Xu Qing fell silent as he gained a deeper understanding of the fifth ring.
Although he had long since known that Cultivators from the fifth ring were incredibly powerful, he still felt great waves of shock in his heart. After a long moment passed, he analyzed the young man's words.
"In other words, Great Emperors and Lower Immortals are not allowed to interfere in the hunting and competition between Permits?"
After hearing Xu Qing's words, the young man hurriedly nodded.
"Immortals have their own rules, so they can't directly help each other, but as for indirect help ā¦ I heard that to a certain extent, it's tacitly allowed. As for specifics, the level is too high, so I don't know much about them.
The young man replied nervously.
Xu Qing thought for a while and then looked at the young man.
The young man's body trembled, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. He was about to beg for mercy.
But Xu Qing had already raised his hand and instantly pulled the young man over.
He pressed his palm on the young man's head and began to search his soul to verify the authenticity of his words.
The young man was extremely nervous, and his breathing was extremely rapid. He knew that this was the moment of life and death.
Therefore, in order not to be killed during the soul-searching, he suppressed his fear and tried his best to give up all struggle, allowing Xu Qing to search his memory.
After a while, Xu Qing fell into deep thought.
Because there was a big gap between their cultivation bases, and the young man didn't struggle at all, the soul-searching process was very smooth, and the damage to the young man was also within his tolerance.
Therefore, after finishing the soul-searching, Xu Qing thought for a while and decided not to kill the young man. Instead, he sealed his soul and isolated his five senses, and put him into his storage bag.
This young man was still somewhat useful to Xu Qing, and he was quite honest during the entire process. He was a smart person.
"When I leave the fifth star ring, I will naturally give you your freedom. During this period ā¦ you can be my guide."
Xu Qing sent out his Divine Thought and ended the conversation. His gaze fell on the token in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, he didn't choose to activate the token immediately. Instead, he put it away and planned to think about whether to participate in the battle in the Immortal Capital after leaving.
"Then, let's leave this place first."
Xu Qing murmured in his heart. Then, he scanned with his Divine Thought and focused on the broken bubble small worlds in the Spirit Mine.
About 70% of the bubble small worlds here had collapsed, so the spirit energy inside spread out and filled the place. It was extremely dense and looked like fog.
It was also being absorbed by the vortex on the cover that sealed this place.
However, it could be imagined that because more than half of the small worlds had collapsed, this absorption had become a one-time thing and couldn't be provided continuously for a long time like before.
After the collapse of every small world in the swamp, the life force of the living beings inside would no longer be absorbed, so to a certain extent, they could be considered to have gained freedom.
However, most of the living beings were at a loss now. They were still panicking and adapting. Moreover, due to their cultivation level, it was difficult for them to fly out due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside.
They didn't know what was happening in the outside world.
However, this process wouldn't last long. After a period of time, there would always be geniuses in the small worlds who would try to rush out of the small worlds and see the real world.
Xu Qing didn't interfere in this matter.
"There's no karma between them. That's their fate."
At the same time, when Xu Qing scanned the area with his divine consciousness, he confirmed his judgment that this was a prison for deities. This was because in every small bubble world, there was a Divine that was sealed and suppressed.
Some were already dead, some were dying, and all of them had lost their minds.
However, it was obvious that this Divine Prison, or rather this Divine Spirit Mine, wasn't of a high quality.
This was because the Deities sealed and suppressed here were all in the Divine Fire Realm.
Xu Qing didn't sense the existence of the Divine Platform.
"However, before I leave, instead of letting the vortex absorb the spiritual energy here, why don't I absorb some of it?"
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth, and inhaled deeply.
Instantly, the thick spiritual energy in the area began to seethe and surge toward Xu Qing. He sucked it into his mouth and absorbed it, nourishing both his fleshly body and his Seven Extreme Daos.
However, the vortex that sealed the area was also absorbing the spiritual energy.
Xu Qing looked up, thought for a moment, and decided not to destroy it.
After all, Xu Qing remembered the fear in the middle-aged Sovereign's eyes when he looked at the vortex before his death.
"He was worried that the collapse of the spirit mine would affect the vortex's absorption. Then the source of the vortex ā¦.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and sat down cross-legged. The five elements in his body circulated, and time and space erupted, forming an even stronger suction force.
Immediately, the spiritual energy in the area was divided into two. One part flowed into the vortex, while the other part was affected and flowed toward Xu Qing.
Just like that, time passed.
As the spiritual energy in the spirit mine gradually decreased, Xu Qing's cultivation base slowly rose, and the vortex that sealed the area was absorbing less and less spiritual energy.
The vortex's influence also began to appear in a certain part of the fifth star ring.
In that part of the world, thunder and lightning filled the sky, and the earth was crimson red. Two figures were fighting fiercely in the air.
Both of them were young men. One had red hair, the other had white hair. Both of them had killing intent in their eyes. Every strike they made contained the power of the Great Dao.
Among them, the red-haired youth had dozens of whirlpool totems on his body. Each whirlpool totem was emitting dense spiritual energy, providing him with an endless supply of cultivation base support.
However, at this moment, one of the vortex totems suddenly dimmed, and the spiritual energy it provided was almost exhausted.
If it were any other time, he wouldn't care about the depletion of his family's spirit mine vortex.
However, this was a life-and-death battle. His opponent was a prodigy, and he had to do his best. If he killed him, the number of tokens in his medallion would skyrocket.
Therefore, he couldn't afford to lose.
However, something unexpected happened.
"Damn it. What happened to the spirit mine at this critical moment ā¦."
The red-haired young man's heart sank.
But now that they were fighting, he didn't have the time to investigate. He could only suppress this matter and use his forbidden techniques to fight with all his strength.
At the same time, outside of the Spirit mine, a black galleon with a white flag could be seen flying through the dark sky. It whistled through the air as it approached.
His speed was astonishing.
There were eight or nine figures on the boat. All of them looked relaxed as they chatted with each other.
The totem on the boat they were on was special. It was in the shape of a ring, which seemed to represent a certain meaning.
At this moment, as the flags fluttered in the wind, the sounds of laughter and chatter also drifted in the wind.
"In front of us is the family's spirit mine guarded by Senior Ling Du. Once we reach there, we can take a good rest."
"This time, we went out to carry out the clan's mission. Our harvest was not bad, and we also found some important information. It's enough for us to report back to the clan. Next, I'm going to the spirit mine's small world to have some fun. The process this time is too tiring.
Speaking of going to the Small World to play, everyone on the boat laughed and looked forward to it.
To the elites of these families, the divine spirit mine's small world was a relaxing place where they could play as they pleased.
As they chatted and laughed, a huge sealing dome appeared in front of them. That was their destination.
"We're here."
The boat stopped in mid-air and went straight to the spirit mine.
