Chapter 1103: Who is the Rain Master?

Within the city, on the second floor of a pavilion not too far away from where Xu Qing was, a white-robed man wearing a white robe stood on the ground.

A middle-aged man in a white robe was standing beside the railing with his hands clasped behind his back. He withdrew his gaze from the aurora in the sky and glanced over the crowd below before looking into the distance.

Killing intent flashed in this person's eyes.

He was looking in Xu Qing's direction.

This middle-aged man was of average height and was slightly chubby, but he was still quite muscular.

His hair was slightly white, showing signs of age, but it was neatly combed.

The crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and the faint wrinkles on his forehead showed that he had been through a lot.

Although he did not reveal his cultivation, the surrounding rules and laws, as well as the Dao marks in his eyes, proved that he had the power of a Sovereign.

"I never thought that there would be a second Quasi-Immortal Token in my city."

"However, it's still dim, so it hasn't been activated yet …"

"Looks like he's either afraid of death, or he's preparing gifts or goods for others."

"If it's the former, I'll just kill him, but if it's the latter …"

The middle-aged cultivator muttered, unable to make up his mind.

The Quasi-Immortal Token of the fifth star ring meant that during the second stage of the hunt, they could sense each other within a certain range.

However, this so-called perception was actually relative.

Only those who had fused with the token could sense other medallions, even if the token had not been activated.

On the other hand, if one did not fuse with the token, they would not be able to sense others.

As such, during the second stage of the hunt, it would be disadvantageous for those who had the token but did not activate it.

Very few people would do such a thing.

As such, the middle-aged man could not help but think about this.

After all, even though he was a Sovereign, he was only at the initial stage. It was fine in this small city, but facing those powerful families and Sects, he had to lower his head.

As such, if he offended them for a token, it would be a disaster.

"However, after I obtained the token by chance, since I chose to fuse it with the token, I'm going all out.

"Such a life is really boring. Instead of living in a corner and being restricted by the world, where I can see the end of my life with a single glance … I want to take a risk!"

"My cultivation has been shackled for a long time, and I can't make any progress under normal circumstances."

Thinking to there, the middle-aged cultivator's eyes flashed with a cold light as he spoke.

"Come with me to suppress the enemies."

As soon as he spoke, sounds of agreement came from all around him. Then, illusory figures appeared around him.

In the next moment, the middle-aged cultivator took a step forward with dozens of figures following him. He stepped into the air and flew toward the location of another token that was locked onto by his token.

At this moment, Xu Qing was also sprinting.

They headed towards the city gate.

The stars in the sky made him feel that a storm was coming. At the same time, there was a star nearby, which made him understand that danger could come at any time.

Especially when he was about to approach the city gate, he noticed that the number of guards at the city gate had increased by quite a bit, and the city gate was closing.

There was a formation restriction in this city that prohibited flying.

If one didn't want to be trapped inside and had to use other methods to break through the restrictive formation, then the city gate would be the best exit.

But now, there were more guards and the city gates were closed.

At the same time, Xu Qing felt as if he had been locked onto.

All of this allowed Xu Qing to make a clear judgment.

"Someone gave the order to close the city gate, and the person who gave the order was definitely the star in the sky, the one with the token, or someone related to him.

"No matter what, that person has an extremely high status in this city.

"Also, I can't sense that person, but I feel as if I have been locked onto. Evidently, that person can sense me.

"In other words, even if I don't activate the Quasi-Immortal Token, I can still be sensed in the second stage of the hunt.

"If that's the case … that person can sense me, but I can't sense him.

"If I don't fuse with the token, it will be extremely disadvantageous for me."

All of these thoughts appeared in Xu Qing's mind.

In the next instant, he did not hesitate and decisively took out his Quasi-Immortal Token and fiercely squeezed it.

As he squeezed, the Quasi-Immortal Token immediately trembled but did not shatter. Instead, it turned into liquid and melted in Xu Qing's hand and fused into his body.

In the blink of an eye, a crimson aurora appeared in Xu Qing's mind.

As the aurora flowed, the scene of the stars that appeared in the sky of the Southern Region was reflected!

However, this scene was slightly different from what he had seen just now.

The stars that he had seen just now were scattered in the Southern Region and rarely overlapped.

But now, quite a few of them had overlapped with each other …

There were many of them, and they were all moving.

One could imagine that every overlap meant that there was a slaughter and a fight taking place.

At the same time, his own ranking appeared in his mind.

One thousand seven hundred and thirty-third place.

This was obviously not the fifth Star Ring's ranking, but his ranking in the entire Southern Region.

In the next instant, the scene disappeared.

It seemed that only the first time he fused with the Quasi-Immortal Token and activated it could see the entire scene of the stars in the domain.

Now that the scene had disappeared, Xu Qing immediately noticed the benefits of fusing with the token.

It was the connection between his own token and other tokens within a radius of 100,000 miles.

It was the connection between the tokens!

It was not within the range of his cultivation or Divine Sense!

The token came from the Immortal Capital and was extremely special. If he did not fuse with it, he could not detect it.

At this moment, Xu Qing could clearly sense that there were two stars that represented tokens near him!

One of them was a little far away, at the edge of 100,000 miles. It seemed to have sensed something and quickly disappeared into the distance, disappearing from the range of the other tokens that Xu Qing had sensed with the token.

As for the other one, it was close at hand.

It was rapidly approaching him.

At the same time, Xu Qing's cultivation suddenly erupted. The power of the five elements spread out in all directions and increased his speed. He shot toward the city gate that was about to close like an arrow.

The other party was coming at him aggressively. A battle was unavoidable.

Without knowing the other party's cultivation, Xu Qing could only think of the worst case scenario.

Thus, in a battle like this, the choice of battlefield was very important.

If he stayed in the city, the city's restrictions would be disadvantageous to Xu Qing. Moreover, if he was trapped here, he would be at a disadvantage whether he was distracted or fighting back.

Thus, if he could charge out of the city, he would have an opportunity to take the initiative.

Thus, Xu Qing's speed was astonishing. During this period of time, he had learned more ways to use the dao of space.

The space in front of him was shrinking.

The space behind him was being lengthened.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing's figure had already arrived at the city gate.

The guards didn't have time to stop him. They only felt a gust of wind howl. In the next instant, Xu Qing had charged out of the city gate.

Then, he calmly raised his hand and clenched his fist behind him!

At the same time, the middle-aged cultivator and his followers had already caught up. However, due to Xu Qing's spatial restriction, the distance between them had become even longer.

As a result, they missed the best time to stop Xu Qing.

When Xu Qing clenched his fist, the space they were in immediately fluctuated and collapsed.

A deafening sound filled the air at this moment.

On the streets of the city gate, the space shattered and collapsed in all directions. A storm swept through.

It was a scene of chaos.

Amidst the chaos, a cold snort suddenly sounded.

Then, thunder echoed in the sky. Dark clouds appeared in the sky and rain began to fall. The rain covered a large area, covering both the inside and outside of the city gate.

Xu Qing was also among them.

The moment he sensed the rain, Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.

"This rain is formed by the dao marks of the authorities!

"The other party's authority is rain …"

Almost as soon as Xu Qing sensed what was happening, the rainwater around him turned into sharp blades that whistled toward him.

At the same time, the collapsing space within the city was not stopped by the rain. However, the illusory figures following the middle-aged Cultivator used the rain to instantly disappear.

When they reappeared, shockingly, they had passed through the collapsed space and were now directly in front of Xu Qing. Their cultivation bases exploded with the power of Soul Accumulation, and they combined it with the rain to attack Xu Qing with no regard for their own lives.

"Puppet?

Dead soldiers?

And it's made up of rainwater! "

A cold glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, and he quickly retreated. At the same time, his gaze pierced through the curtain of rain in front of him and looked at the white figure standing in the rain in the city.

The other party did not step out. Instead, he stood there and stared coldly at him.

"He's also a cautious person. Because he doesn't know my true strength, even though he can tell that I'm not a Sovereign, he still didn't choose to personally approach me. Instead, he used his authority from afar and arranged for his puppets to attack."

"However, being cautious is an advantage, but at the same time, it is also a disadvantage. At some crucial moments, you will miss opportunities."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and retreated. Even though he had averted his gaze, he did not look at the puppets. Instead, he stared at the rain that was coming at him like sharp blades.

As he looked at the rain, a thought suddenly appeared in Xu Qing's mind.

"I have Authority, and I also have Divine Authority.

"Authority and Divine Authority. The former belongs to cultivators, while the latter belongs to Divine Spirits.

"Authority comes from natural laws and magical laws, while Divine Authority comes from the vague traces left behind by the unseen.

"In essence, there are similarities and differences between the two. The similarities stem from their origins, while the differences stem from the different ways in which they exist.

"Natural laws and magical laws are the Heavenly Daos created by cultivators. They are derived from the Heavenly Daos, and cultivators gain enlightenment of them. That is why they have Authority. It's a cycle.

"As for Divine Authority, its origins are even more ancient, and I don't know anything about them.

"Erasure, Immortal Techniques, rain, and Qi … all of them can be Authority.

"Then, are my Five Elemental Extremes … also Authorities?"

"However, their origins do not come from the Heavenly Daos, but from me."

Truth be told, Xu Qing had been pondering this question during the 30 vortex days he had spent in the city.

As he looked at the sharp blades formed by the rain, he suddenly retracted all of his magical techniques, and only unleashed his Extreme Water Path, which exploded out in all directions.

In the next instant, an inconceivable scene appeared.

The sharp blades formed by the rain in front of Xu Qing suddenly stopped in front of him, and they did not move at all.

They were not the only ones. All of the rain falling from the heavens and earth suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Even the puppets froze in midair.

Then, as Xu Qing raised his hand …

The sharp blades changed direction.

The puppets turned around.

All of the rain in the world trembled at this moment, and then … they turned into sharp blades that pierced towards the middle-aged cultivator in the city, whose mind was completely shaken and who was completely shocked.

In the eyes of the middle-aged cultivator, the young man in front of him was clearly enveloped and surrounded by his Authority, but he was the one who was shocked.

Compared to him, this young man was more like the master of the rain.
