Chapter 1144: Treasures in the South Sky
Chapter 1144: Treasures in the South Sky
Xu Qing clenched his right hand when he heard the despicable words.
Crack!
The jade slip shattered.
After that, he sat down cross-legged in the dilapidated lecture grounds and waited patiently.
After a long while, he felt something in his palm. The jade slip that he had crushed countless times reappeared.
Xu Qing had been observing the entire process.
What appeared on his palm at first was a dot.
Then, more and more dots appeared, forming a line.
Next, the lines began to twist, increasing in number until they formed a surface. It was the appearance of the jade slip in the second world.
In the end, it seemed to have absorbed some kind of mystery of the Modern World, allowing it to attain a true height.
As a result … a real jade slip was formed.
During this process, Xu Qing observed very seriously. It was the same before.
Combined with his many investigations, he had gained enough knowledge.
"This jade slip appeared from nothing and appeared in the Modern World from the second level. It does rely on the Spacetime Constitution, but the direction of this Spacetime Constitution is different from mine."
"There seems to be some … imaginative power in this?"
Xu Qing fell into deep thought.
His space-time state was based on the five elements and was formed by merging time and space. Therefore, the way it was expressed was mainly based on the macro view of space-time.
As for the Aurora Immortal Lord, he was able to bring out the essence of an item from a low-level world. He was more inclined to the microscopic level.
As he pondered, the small person's exasperated voice came from the jade slip that reappeared in his palm.
"You're going too far. Can't you let me finish?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't tell you!!"
"Can you give me some face? Don't you feel ashamed doing this? After all, I helped you leave the second layer!"
"You heartless man!"
Hearing the words of the little person, Xu Qing seriously thought about it and felt that what the little person said was indeed reasonable. Thus, he put down the jade slip, took a few steps back, straightened his clothes, and respectfully clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
This bow stunned the little guy once again.
After bowing, Xu Qing walked back to the jade slip and picked it up.
"Please tell me!"
This scene caused the miniature person to fall silent.
It sensed the strength of Xu Qing's palm. Based on the strength of his palm, it was clear that he could crush the jade slip with just a little more force.
"Why do I feel that after he bowed, he became even calmer …"
The little guy felt that his head was a little big. The actions and thoughts of the person in front of him made him feel that it was not good to fool or be perfunctory.
"This person really doesn't care about face at all. He begs as he pleases and bows as he pleases …"
"It's clear that he has his own set of theories in his heart … After a bow, he can calmly fight and kill, and his thoughts are also smooth?
This kind of person makes people speechless, especially when he clearly thinks so. Ahhhh, so annoying! "
The little person felt helpless, but he was worried that he would be crushed again, so he spoke angrily.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes.
"I'm not talking about you!"
The little person on the jade slip hurriedly explained.
"I'm talking about the other brats who broke into my house. Look at how greedy those brats have been all these years. They tore down my house and took away all my things …"
"They didn't even let go of the flowers and plants. Even the bricks and tiles of the house were taken away. They even broke the house and moved away …"
"But fortunately, I have a toy from when I was young that hasn't been stolen yet. How about this? Help me get it, and I'll tell you how to get an identity and a better one."
"How about it?"
The little person's big face appeared on the jade slip, looking at Xu Qing expectantly.
"That treasure is in South Sky Mountain."
“
"Although it's not in this area, I have a way to get you there."
"Hurry up and decide. I vaguely sense that there are a few thieves there, and they're approaching soon!"
.......
"Fellow Daoists, we're almost there."
At South Sky Mountain, near the peak, there were four figures, three in front and one at the back, moving forward with difficulty.
The person who spoke was the person at the back.
This person was a middle-aged man in black, holding a silver compass in his hand. He had a mean face, wore a brocade robe, and a golden crown on his head.
At this moment, he was walking on the mountain rocks. Although he was at the back, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as they swept across the three people in front.
While observing their actions, his finger would occasionally lightly tap the Desolation Soul, releasing a clear and melodious sound that spread in all directions, causing the surrounding space to distort.
It was as if he was declaring his authority.
At the same time, the bodies of the three people in front of him trembled.
These three people were two men and one woman.
One of them had a medium build and was slightly plump. He had sparse hair and a haggard expression on his face.
The woman next to him was also middle-aged, but her figure was well-proportioned, and her face could be considered delicate and pretty. However, her skin was slightly yellow, and her eyes were especially orange.
Although her hair was tied into a bun, it didn't look too messy, and her Daoist robes were neat, but the color of her eyes still made her look strange.
As for the last person, he was an old man with a thin figure, a slightly bent back, and a head full of white hair.
His former vigor had now been replaced by exhaustion, and the traces of age on his face had become even more pronounced.
If Xu Qing was here, he would definitely be able to instantly recognize that this old man was the Earth Spirit Ancestor.
At this moment, the three of them had ugly expressions on their faces, and their hearts were gloomy.
Obviously, they weren't walking here willingly.
He wanted to struggle, but he was powerless.
Because there were three threads connected to their souls, they were controlled by the compass and could only be used as tools for the other party to find a path.
Recalling his experience, the Earth Spirit Ancestor gritted his teeth.
After he entered the third level, everything went smoothly at first. Even after Li Mengtu left, he had his own plans and arrangements.
Everything had been going well at first, but under his careful efforts, he gradually approached his goal.
This was the information he had obtained from the Cloud Clan. It was an herb that had not been taken away and could increase the chances of breaking through.
The location of this herb was very secretive. The old ancestor of the Cloud Clan lacked the necessary preparations to take the herb, so he could only leave this information behind.
In the end, this information was obtained by the Earth Spirit Ancestor.
However, just as he was about to succeed, a Sovereign with a Constitution Treasure appeared.
Not only had this person taken away the medicinal plant, he had even suppressed him and implicated his soul.
Along the way, the man had suppressed seven other cultivators, including himself. In the end, he had used some special method to leave the east and appear on this mountain.
He walked all the way up from the foot of the mountain, and he and the other seven were forced to scout the way for him.
In the end, four of them died.
Only he and the man and woman beside him were left. Both of them were heavily injured.
"Although we're about to reach the peak of the mountain and that's where the other party's target is, the moment we reach the peak of the mountain will be the moment he silences us!"
The Earth Spirit Ancestor was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
The other two beside him were the same.
The only thing he could do was to stall for time, but stalling … seemed to be meaningless here.
The black-robed middle-aged man with the Feng Shui compass knew what the three of them were thinking, but he didn't care.
As far as he knew, besides Xing Chen and a few other cultivators who possessed Constitution Treasures like him, the others … weren't on the same level as him.
Therefore, no matter how the three in front struggled, it was useless.
"Almost there!"
The black-clothed middle-aged man gradually found it hard to suppress his excitement. His eyes blazed as he looked at the mountain peak.
This was not the first time he had entered the Immortal Palace.
To be precise, this was the second time.
The last time was many years ago, when the Immortal Palace opened in the southern region.
At that time, his cultivation was only at the early stage of the Sovereign Realm. He was very inconspicuous, and he had been very careful. However, he had unexpectedly obtained a fortuitous encounter.
They entered the world where the mountain was located.
The moment he landed, he could vaguely see a lake at the top of the mountain, and a paper boat in the middle of the lake.
However, he was unable to control himself and landed at the foot of the mountain. There were many restrictions on the mountain and it was filled with endless dangers. Therefore, he was unable to ascend the mountain.
In the end, he could only leave unwillingly.
However, in the years that followed, he was unable to forget about this mountain and that paper boat. Thus, he began to meticulously investigate and flip through the historical records regarding Aurora Immortal Lord. Through that, he gained a greater understanding of that paper boat.
It also confirmed one thing.
Paper boats were Constitution treasure!
Moreover, it was quite powerful!
That was why he had started making preparations. Now that he had returned, his goal was the paper boat.
Because of that, he had paid an enormous price and borrowed a Constitution treasure from a grand character. At the same time, he had relied on that Constitution treasure to control many people to scout for him.
Now, he had finally reached this step.
When he thought about how he was about to reach the top of the mountain, the black-robed man took a deep breath and then smiled at the three cultivators up ahead.
"Thank you for your help along the way. Now, I ask that you all work even harder. You don't have to think too much. After we reach the top, I'll get what I want and I'll return your freedom."
The three elders were silent.
Naturally, they didn't believe his words.
However, as the black-robed middle-aged man spoke, he spun the compass in his hand, causing the souls of Earth Spirit and the other two to tremble. They could only speed up and pave the way with their lives.
Just like that, time passed bit by bit.
At this moment, if one's line of sight were to be elevated, they would be able to see clouds flowing before their eyes, gradually filling their field of vision.
The people in the mountain, as well as the mountain itself, became smaller and smaller in his field of vision.
Even the world where the mountain was located was reflected in his eyes.
It could be seen that there was only one mountain in this vast world!
There was fog all around.
If one's field of vision could be improved to a certain level, they would be able to break through the shackles of this realm.
As a result, the world where the mountain was located became a colorful mural in his field of vision.
It was carved on a wall.
This was a palace in the southern part of the Immortal Palace.
The palace was relatively well-preserved, and there were huge totem paintings on the walls.
It depicted a mountain that towered into the clouds.
The mountain was named Southern Sky.
As for Xu Qing, he appeared in the hall and stood outside the mural, staring at it.
"Do you see that paper boat? That's my toy."
The minifigure quickly said.
Xu Qing nodded slightly before walking into the murals.
