Chapter 1132: What is the Constitution?

Xu Qing raised his head and looked outside the scroll.

He was looking in the direction of the Dao Immortal Sect.

His physical body was completely unaware of what was happening in the Dao Immortal Sect.

But his way of thinking was different.

At this moment, a vague feeling that surpassed the level of the physical body appeared in Xu Qing's mind.

"Borrow the path?"

Xu Qing pondered for a moment and then withdrew his thoughts.

Right now, the most important thing for him was to solidify his Eighth Pole.

Although the appearance of the Eighth Pole was in line with what he had imagined in the past, it had to be said that the birth of Constitution had also, to a certain extent, broken his previous understanding.

It would also subvert the traditional way of fighting.

This was the newest height that had been achieved after the convergence of the previous seven extremes.

The first five Extremities were the foundation, and time and space were the firewood. Once they were ignited, they would explode with power. That was what led to the creation of the Eighth Extremity.

It contained reincarnation, karma, and everything else. It formed the Dao of Spacetime.

The moment this Dao appeared, enlightenment came from the heart.

"It's like a promotion."

"It has nothing to do with the physical body. It's an upgrade of the mind and soul level."

Xu Qing closed his eyes and sensed the Eighth Extreme in his body.

"This is a space-time state that can be entered at any time!"

"After entering, one's physical body will be outside, but one's thoughts will surpass the past and reach the level of omniscience."

"In that state, looking at all living things is indeed like looking at a picture book that can be changed at any time."

"I can influence, fiddle with, and control."

Even as he was lost in thought, Xu Qing's Eighth Polarity suddenly spread out. In the blink of an eye … the sensation of space-time once again appeared.

As he gazed into the distance, his perception grew even deeper.

"Fighting in this state will surpass our previous expectations."

"There are no secrets in all living things in the world to me. Magical techniques, physical bodies, even thoughts, fate, reincarnation, past and future are all transparent to me."

"I can influence the enemy's choice without him noticing. Whether he is wrong or not, whether he lives or dies, it all depends on my thoughts."

"I can alter the enemy's magical techniques with a single thought, regardless of whether it's the source or the nature of the magical techniques."

"I can travel to any space-time, any place, I can even appear at the birth of my enemies and destroy their faces."

"So this is Constitution's ability … In the Lower Realm, although I am not an Immortal, this ability is not much different from an Immortal's.

"But this is the Upper 36 Star Rings. There is a higher constitution here that restricts me."

Xu Qing pondered.

"Constitution …"

The appearance of his constitution and the voice that had come from the void allowed him to gain an innate understanding of the constitution.

Part of it came from himself, and part of it came from the additional information contained in every word of that sentence.

Constitution, surpassing the natural order and laws, was the unknown and supreme source of power belonging to the gods in the Upper Thirty-Six Star Rings.

The upper thirty-six rings belonged to gods.

Therefore, it was easier for the gods to obtain it from this unknown and supreme source and display it in their hands.

The method of expression was first Godly Authority, then becoming a True God and transforming into one's own Godhood.

They were born with the qualifications to obtain it.

This was also the reason why the gods were so powerful.

After all, they were born in the upper thirty-six star rings.

As for cultivators, as outsiders, they didn't have the qualifications to do so.

Thus, this qualification was split into several steps.

First, it was the Source(Essence), then DaoSource, and then it relied on the process of the immortal embryo's formation to instinctively absorb the power of the star ring as nutrients, giving birth to dao marks and authority similar to divine authority.

Only then could he be considered to have embarked on this path.

However, although the dao marks of the Authorities were similar to the Godly Authority of the gods, they were still inferior overall.

Only in the end did the Heavenly Dao Mark Authority sublimate and form the constitution.

Only then could a cultivator truly obtain the same status as a deity.

Constitutions were on the same level as godhoods!

Using such a tedious method to obtain the qualifications to become a Deity showed how difficult it was for cultivators to ascend the 36 rings.

Therefore, at the end of the day, Constitution was the final known manifestation of immortals plundering the source power of the Upper 36 Star Rings.

It was precisely because of the complicated process of its birth that, generally speaking, only cultivators who had reached the Quasi-Immortal Realm would be able to have a Constitution due to the formation of the Immortal Embryo in their bodies.

However, the possibility of this happening was very slim. It all depended on one's luck.

Under normal circumstances, only when the Immortal Embryo matured and turned into an Immortal would the Constitution … appear.

Other than that, there were two other ways to advance the formation of the constitution, or to allow people who did not have the constitution to use it.

They were legacies and magic treasures.

The former was like the Flower of Inheritance in this hunting segment.

It was a Dao Constitution that had been taken away by a cultivator of a higher level and given away.

The latter was a perfect treasure.

However, the latter usually contained incomplete constitutions and insufficient law power.

As for the power of law, it was the measurement of the constitution.

Therefore, the process of forming the constitution, extending the constitution to completion, and finally becoming the source was one of the three key elements to becoming an Immortal Lord.

It was precisely because of this that only cultivators below the Quasi-Immortal Realm who had great opportunities could obtain the constitution …

Once a cultivator with the battle prowess of a Sovereign obtained it, the difference between those who possessed the constitution and those who didn't would be so great that it could be said to be extreme.

Even if their cultivations were the same, the difference in their battle prowess was like heaven and earth.

This was also the reason why Li Mengtu had fought Xu Qing to the death in order to snatch back the inheritance.

After all, possessing a constitution was equivalent to standing at the pinnacle of the Sovereign Realm.

The only ones who could contend against him were cultivators who also possessed the constitution.

If the other party did not possess it, then they would not be of the same level as him and would be restricted by the constitution.

It was also because of this that the Three Great Laws of Constitutionalism appeared.

Firstly, the constitution only belonged to cultivators and was one of the symbols of immortals.

Secondly, the confrontation between two constitutionalists was a process of mutual annihilation. Whichever side was annihilated first would determine life and death.

Thirdly, the Constitution is the highest known, and only the Constitution or a God of the same level as Constitution could destroy each other.

At the same time, the constitution was not divided into many parts.

It could be more or less, and it had nothing to do with one's status. It was the same even if one had mastered a lot of constitutions.

It was only related to combat power!

Therefore, although pursuing more constitutions could increase one's battle prowess, the foundation of one's cultivation was the completion of constitutions.

These thoughts appeared in Xu Qing's mind.

After a while, he collected his thoughts.

"It's time to leave."

Xu Qing raised his head and did not do anything else. He only looked at the void in front of him.

The void suddenly rippled, and then a storm appeared. It spread silently in all directions, and in an instant, it engulfed the entire world of the scroll.

Then, everything became blurry and completely disappeared.

What appeared in front of Xu Qing was no longer a scroll painting, but a furnace and raging flames in all directions.

The fire instantly stopped.

Losing the ability to inflict damage.

Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that if the flame had a spirit, then Xu Qing, who was standing right in front of it, had become an existence that it could not understand.

It could only burn pointlessly.

Even the furnace was blurred in Xu Qing's eyes, as if it didn't exist.

It dissipated.

As for Xu Qing, he was standing in front of the wooden house in the ancestral hall of the Li family.

As he looked around, he could see countless pasts and futures in the world. Everything was like that. The log cabin was like that, and so was the calligraphy inside.

Only … in the past of this wooden house, he saw a person.

This person was different from the world.

He only had a past, no present, and no future.

Even the past was blurry, in the midst of collapse.

He wore a green robe and stood in front of the wooden table with a brush in his hand.

He was deep in thought, as if he did not know where to start.

"I don't know how to write my last words. Fellow Daoist, since you came from space and time, can you teach me?"

As he looked at the middle-aged man in green from the past, he spoke faintly.

As he spoke, he didn't raise his head to look.

Xu Qing was silent as he looked at the collapsed past. He saw Deep Earth, Wanggu, and the other's identity.

He sighed inwardly.

The man in green no longer spoke.

After a long time, Xu Qing spoke slowly.

"He is like a devout pilgrim, always searching for a temple that might not exist."

With that, Xu Qing clasped his hands and bowed deeply. Then, he retracted his gaze, and everything faded away.

The world returned to normal.

Xu Qing raised his head, his gaze landing on the sky. Time and space were changing there, isolated from the surroundings.

Soon, the figure of Li Mengtu, who had come here in the past to send the scroll into the cauldron, appeared in that separate area.

Xu Qing raised his hand and grabbed. The figure turned into a beam of light and landed in Xu Qing's hand.

Immediately, everything about Li Mengshi appeared clearly in Xu Qing's mind.

Following the tracks, Xu Qing took a step forward.

The world melted, the nothingness formed a path, disappearing into the distance without a trace.

......

The whole small world was silent.

Only a soft sigh echoed in the space and time where Xu Qing once stood after he left.

"Every generation, and even every person, searched for a different temple. When we left, we went our separate ways. I walked a path and thought that I had found it, but in reality, I didn't. I could see that path, but I was powerless to walk it.

Clansmen.

The moment he said that, the fate of the entire fifth star ring seemed to fluctuate. It didn't affect a large area. Only the living members of the Li family were affected. But his appearance made me feel …

He might be the temple. "

The voices gradually dissipated.

The words on the painting in the wooden house became blurry and gradually changed.

It became another sentence.

"I think I found it."

These people, including Li Mengtu, had their memories of the words in the ancestral hall changed.

The aurora in the sky also rippled.

Amidst the aurora, the figures of the Twelve Heavenly Patrols had strange lights in their eyes. They emitted invisible threads as if they were deducing something.

Behind them were eleven immortal palaces that appeared even higher up. Nine of them were normal, but there were two that flickered about. Resplendent symbols were currently forming outside.

Then, a calm and vast voice came from the highest place.

"This space-time has been fixed and cannot be changed."

"However, this constitution has great potential. Even immortals cannot deduce it."

As soon as he said that, the twelve Immortal Patrollers in the aurora lowered their heads, and the threads were instantly severed.

The two shining immortal palaces also chose to disperse after some consideration.

The characters in the log cabin once again became blurry and returned to their original state. The memories of the Li Clan members also returned to the past without them noticing.
