Chapter 1149: Each Has His Own Way
The young master of the Immortal Palace, who was possessed by Xu Qing, had been hung on the Thunder Punishment Cliff for seven days.
In six hours, he would be released after serving his sentence.
In the last six hours, the thunder was stronger than usual. The rumbling sound reverberated, and even people outside the Thunder Punishment Cliff could hear it clearly.
Such vast lightning seemed to be telling everyone of the authority of the Thunder Punishment Cliff.
However … even though the figure in the lightning seemed to be in a pathetic state at that moment, during the final six hours, the vast Heavenly Lightning contained some hidden nourishment.
It was all bark and no bite.
The vastness on the outside was just a show for outsiders. In reality … this endless flashing lightning was secretly nourishing his physical body, nourishing his soul, soothing … this was his punishment for seven days.
Outsiders might not know about this, but when Xu Qing checked the host's memories, it was like this almost every time.
No matter what kind of punishment it was, the party that would carry out the punishment would secretly help at the last moment. They were not willing to let this Young Master's body and soul be truly miserable.
After all, he was the only son of Aurora Immortal Lord.
"A loving father leads to a wastrel son!"
Zhong Chi raised his head and quickly glanced over. His face revealed a pained expression, but he snorted coldly in his heart.
Others might not know about this, but it was impossible for him to not know.
However, on the surface, he still maintained a pained expression and shouted.
"Young Master, you have to hold on. There are only six hours left."
"Li Tianjiao has already arrived at the battle arena and is waiting for you there!"
His voice was full of emotion.
Xu Qing couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Zhong Chi.
He hadn't realized that Li Mengtu had some talent in acting.
If he didn't know the other party's identity, it would be difficult for him to suspect anything.
Noticing Xu Qing's gaze, Zhong Chi put even more effort into his performance, as if he wanted to compete with Lei Ting for favor.
However, it was obvious that he couldn't win.
The thunder became louder and louder, and its momentum became more and more astonishing. It filled the area where Thunder Punishment Cliff was located, and the dazzling light seemed to have turned this place into a pool of lightning.
The rumbling sounds continued to reverberate.
Not only here, but also on the sword furnace in the north of the immortal palace.
To the north of the Immortal Palace, there was an oven.
This furnace was like a cauldron. Flames roiled about like ten thousand beasts galloping about. The blazing radiance illuminated the entire area.
It was as if even the air had been ignited.
On the walls of the furnace, runes flowed, accompanied by the sound of burning flames. It was as if an ancient incantation was being chanted.
Each rune contained the mysteries and powers of heaven and earth.
This was the Furnace of Heaven and Earth created by the Aurora Immortal Lord after refining a hundred thousand small worlds.
It could refine all living things, turning the rotten into the magical.
It was currently refining the Metal-type materials with the help of the flames of the Heavens and Earth in an otherworldly manner.
They would either turn into green smoke or be refined into liquid, and each change would be accompanied by the surging of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
As the raging flames and Spirit Qi intertwined, a fierce force was being born.
That was a sword embryo!
In the past years, ten immortal swords were born from this furnace. They became the swords that Aurora Immortal Lord always carried with him. They were called Star Rings Glory.
According to the Aurora Immortal Lord's plan, he needed twelve swords. Like that, he would be able to form a sword formation.
Now, the final two were being formed.
It was also because of this that heavenly lightning was drawn over, causing it to explode on the sword furnace. The lightning merged into it, assisting in the formation of a sword.
At this moment, as the thunder surged in, as the fire of heaven and earth burned, as the heavenly treasures melted, two sword embryos could be seen being forged.
Their auras continued to rise, and their sharpness continued to be sharpened.
To these two sword embryos, this process was like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, a fish leaping through the dragon gate.
Therefore, it was an unprecedented opportunity for the two foreign souls that were residing in the body!
Qian Jun and Pi Yi from the Northern Star Region's Sword Immortal Sect. They had obtained their fourth identities after much difficulty in the third level's world.
This was related to their own Dao.
Each of them was born with a sword in their bodies, so they had innate sword bodies. Experiencing the forging process of the immortal sword in this furnace was like forging their own bodies. The benefits were huge.
Therefore, possessing these two sword embryos was the best option.
Furthermore, the two immortal swords that were currently being forged had yet to be truly born. In this period of history, they would be formed a month later. However, before they could be born, they would be destroyed along with the calamity of the Immortal Palace.
As a result, they never truly recognized a master in their entire lives.
And this kind of ownerless and unborn sword had no karma to begin with. To Qian Jun and Bi Yi, it could be said to be perfect.
Therefore, the two of them were extremely satisfied and looked forward to being inside these two swords.
No matter how others chose their own paths outside, how they paved their own destinies, how they obtained them … their opportunity was right in front of them.
There was no need to fight or snatch. He could peacefully cultivate here and be fed. All he had to do was wait for a month for it to take shape.
Even if there were uninvited guests, they didn't care at all because their opportunities didn't interfere with other stars.
Just like at this moment … A calm voice came from outside the sword furnace.
"Not only can this furnace be used to refine swords, but it can also be used to refine one's mind and character."
"The Dao of Sword Refinement is actually the Dao of Heart Cultivation."
His voice reverberated within the furnace, stirring up Qian Jun and Pi Yi. The two individuals' divine senses extended outwards to look at the outside world.
Outside the sword furnace, a young man with a tall and straight figure like a pine tree was standing there with a calm expression as he spoke indifferently.
This person wore a purple-gold long robe that swayed gently in the aftermath of the thunder and fire. It was as if dragons and phoenixes were shuttling back and forth between his robes, and he was extremely noble and mysterious.
On his head was a purple and gold crown inlaid with precious stones. The crown was carved with dragons and phoenixes. It was so lifelike that it made people feel reverence.
There was also an extraordinary aura between his brows, making it impossible for others to ignore his existence.
As he spoke, he lifted his foot and walked forward.
His footsteps were steady and powerful, and every step seemed to be on the beat of time.
Heaven and Earth changed color, and the wind and clouds surged.
The lightning and fire in the area began to sway.
His figure also walked into the sword furnace in a few steps.
He appeared inside the sword furnace, beside the two sword embryos.
The sword embryo buzzed.
It exuded a sharp aura.
However, the young man did not care. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through all things in the world. There was also an indifference and coldness in his eyes as he looked at the two sword embryos before him.
"The two of you will not only be able to wait for the final formation in this furnace, but during this process, every change in the golden stone will also be a test of your temperament."
"This furnace is like a cauldron, and the world is hidden in the cauldron. This heart is like a mirror, and the universe is reflected in the mirror."
As the young man's words fell, the flames in the furnace seemed to burn even more vigorously. A powerful wave of spiritual energy emanated from the furnace, causing the entire space to tremble.
Under the baptism of this power, the two sword embryos were nourished even more.
"This is a great opportunity."
The young man's voice was calm, but it contained the meaning of law.
"But history cannot be changed, and events cannot be replaced. Everything that has happened, whether this history is a mirror image or not, cannot be changed at all!"
"Therefore, I will allow you to travel with the flow of the river on the boat and obtain opportunities in the flow of history."
"However, if you all have the slightest intention to change history, I will personally erase you all and strip you of your qualifications to be on the fourth floor."
"Remember, keep order!"
Qian Jun and Bi Yi were silent for a few breaths of time before their swords began to hum.
They recognized the identity of the person who had come, and they also recognized the other party's Dao.
It was an agreement between two sides.
Their choice was to follow the order to begin with. Thus, there was no contradiction.
Thus, the youth's figure became blurry. In the end, he left the sword furnace and appeared outside the lightning and fire.
There, a follower was waiting.
When the young man appeared, the attendant bowed his head and followed him.
Along the way, the two of them walked out of the area where the sword furnace was located and walked into the immortal palace.
Along the way, all of the Celestial Palace cultivators who saw this young man immediately bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, True Lord."
In the Aurora Immortal Palace, only the four direct disciples of the Aurora Immortal Lord could be called True Lords.
This was an honorific unique to them.
But now, the three disciples were outside, and only the fourth disciple remained in the Aurora Immortal Palace!
This young man was none other than the fourth disciple of the Aurora Immortal Lord. Although his status and identity seemed to be second only to the Aurora Immortal Lord, in reality, in the hearts of the crowd, he had already surpassed the Aurora Immortal Lord.
Just like that, the Fourth True Lord returned to his True Lord Palace with his entourage after replying to everyone with a smile.
As soon as he entered, the follower took a deep breath and then respectfully said, "Sir, please accept my invitation.
"Milord, what about Qian Jun and Pi Yi?"
"They are obedient."
The young man said calmly.
When the attendant heard this, he was not too surprised.
His true identity was Zhou Zhengli!
After coming to the fourth level, he was actually the first person to recognise Xing Huanzi. Not only did the two of them come from the Eastern Star Region, but they had also chosen the same Dao in the fourth level.
They wanted to maintain the history of the fourth level, so that this period of history would flow normally.
However, in order to maximize the benefits of this process, they needed to suppress those who resisted.
Using this method of order to perfect their constitution.
"They are easy to find. However, Xie Lingzi and Li Mengtu have hidden themselves very well … As for Jiang Fan and Yuan Shansu, I still have no clue about them."
Zhou Zhengli looked at Xing Huanzi.
Xing Huanzi, who was inside the body of the Fourth True Lord, looked at the sky outside the palace and spoke calmly.
"In this period of history, there are two important figures."
"One is the Immortal Lord, and the other is his son.
“
"Those who want to change history will definitely place their pieces on them.
“
"As for the former, they are Transcendents. Thus, we should focus our attention on that young master."
"He's like a fish bait, attracting many fishes to gather around him …"
"Like the daughter of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord."
"There's also Li Tianjiao who agreed to fight with him."
"Even the accompanying students."
Xing Huanzi said slowly.
Zhou Zhengli fell into deep thought. A smile appeared on his face as he was about to speak.
Xing Huanzi shook his head.
"Actually, I don't care about these things. However, there is one person that you have neglected. I have also neglected before."
"It wasn't until this person made a move in the world of the third level and destroyed one of my arrangements that he entered my sights.
“
"I'm thinking, who is he in the fourth level?"
.....
Six hours finally passed.
On Thunder Punishment Cliff, the lightning that surrounded the heavens and the earth was incomparably punctual. It was as if every extra breath was afraid of causing a misunderstanding.
It dissipated in an instant.
Xu Qing, who was suspended in midair, also instantly released the restraints on his body. His body swayed and landed on the ground.
He stood in front of Zhong Chi.
His clothes were tattered and his injuries looked very serious. However … they were all superficial wounds and looked exaggerated.
Zhong Chi put on a pained expression and hurriedly took out the clothes he had taken out earlier to help his Young Master put them on.
Then, he spoke in a low voice.
"Young Master, Li Tianjiao has made a bold statement on the battle platform, saying that this is an unfair victory and that you should wait until you've recovered from your injuries."
"Also, that fox demon beauty is also there …"
Hearing this, Xu Qing said indifferently.
"No need, let's go now!"
As he spoke, he took a step forward.
Zhong Chi shook his head inwardly, thinking to himself that this man was indeed a pervert. Even after being punished like this, he still wanted to go over as soon as he heard that there was a beauty around.
Although this was what he thought in his heart, the words that came out of his mouth had a completely different flavor.
"Young Master is mighty, wise and farsighted. His talent is extraordinary, his courage is shocking, his immortal arts are superb, and he is a genius of the ages."
"When Young Master ascends to the throne in the future, he will definitely make Starlink strong and prosperous. The people will live and work in peace and contentment.
As soon as Zhong Chi's words entered Xu Qing's ears, he couldn't help but stop in place and look back at him.
Zhong Chi blinked and thought to himself, Is he used to hearing these words and is not satisfied?
Thus, he sighed inwardly. The person he was possessing had always been known for flattery. This made him feel that it was too difficult. Thus, his mind spun quickly and he spoke again.
"Although Young Master did not speak, I understood the meaning in your eyes. I'm moved!"
"I am indebted to Your Excellency's praise and love. This lowly one is eternally grateful. I will definitely do my best and serve you faithfully. However, there is something from the bottom of my heart that I can't help but say. Even though Young Lord's body was seriously injured, in order to fulfill his promise, he still went to battle. This general's bravery is awe-inspiring. He is truly a hero of the current age!"
Xu Qing was silent for a moment. Ignoring him, he retracted his gaze and then flickered ….
He walked out of the Thunder Punishment Cliff.
When he reappeared, he was already in the Immortal Palace.
Looking into the distance, the sky was bright and everything was peaceful. There was a sun and a moon in the sky, but there was no crimson aurora.
A flourishing scene came into view.
"This is the space-time of the Aurora Immortal Palace's past!"
