Chapter 1196: This Place, I Will Use It for Three Hundred Years

Acting Master, as the name suggested.

He was the acting Master.

Furthermore, his identity as a human and his cultivation as a Quasi-Immortal made this responsibility suitable for him.

"My lord, we have a rough idea of your identity. To be able to be arranged by the Nine Shores Immortal Palace to descend into this universe and turn it into a private universe …"

In front of the Immortal Palace, an old man with a third eye on his forehead bowed to Xu Qing and spoke respectfully.

"Since ancient times, only the direct descendants of the human race who ascended from the Immortal Capital have the qualifications and honor to do this."

"Master, you must be one of the ascenders from the Immortal Capital this time."

"As for that Lord Kunwu … He's the same as you, Master. It's said that he's one of the people who ascended from the Immortal Capital in the previous batch. He also has a universe that belongs to him, but because we seem to be very suitable for him to cultivate here."

"So, after he came a thousand years ago, he didn't leave …"

"He's a human, and the Nine Shores Heaven is too big …"

At this point, the old man glanced at Xu Qing who was standing in the Immortal Palace of Meteorites.

"Within the Nine Shores Heaven, the universes without Immortal Palace Lord are considered masterless. That is why most of them are like this, with human cultivators cultivating inside."

"For example, in the Mo Yang Universe, there were other human cultivators who occupied it before Lord Kunwu. However, they were expelled by Lord Kunwu in the past thousand years."

In his heart, regardless of whether it was Kunwu or the person before him, he did not want to offend either of them. Hence, he could only use words to hint at them.

Hearing this, Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

"In other words, acting head is just a title, and it doesn't really represent the Overlord?"

The old man hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

"Yes."

"Mo Yang Universe hasn't had an Immortal Palace Lord for many years. With this position empty, people came one after another. Many … have been like this since ancient times. Therefore, in the past thousand years, everyone has listened to Lord Kunwu's arrangements."

At this point, the old man smiled bitterly.

"Actually … there are many universes in the Nine Shores Heaven. Therefore, even though every ascender will be rewarded with a universe, the probability of choosing the Mo Yang Universe is not high.

As for the arrival of the Lord this time, there were many surprises for us. I believe that Lord Kunwu was also surprised. "

Xu Qing's gaze turned cold.

At this moment, he already understood some of the hidden rules of the Nine Shores Heaven.

After all, the Nine Shores Heaven was too big, and there were many universes. Therefore, it was impossible for every universe to be arranged. Thus, there were several universes without masters.

Naturally, these ownerless universes would be targeted by others. After breaking in, they would be able to do as they pleased with their identities as humans.

"Perhaps the Nine Shores Immortal Palace has tacitly agreed to this. After all, according to the way the fifth star ring has always done things, they choose the strongest from the competition!"

"Natural selection."

Xu Qing's gaze fell upon the strange region of the Black Lands.

"However, since all of these foreign races know of my arrival, it's unlikely that this person doesn't know."

"After knowing about it, you didn't choose to leave. Instead, you crushed my strand of Divine Sense. You're going to be a bad guest."

"Since he's an evil guest, just drive him away."

Xu Qing's heart was calm, and he didn't pay any attention to the prostrating cultivators. Instead, he lifted his foot and walked out of the Immortal Palace, out of the asteroid, and into the starry sky.

Time and space flowed beneath his feet, and the void rippled around him.

Xu Qing stepped on time and the void. While the leaders of the foreign races were still in shock, he used his divine will as a guide to guide the threads of time in Mo Yang Universe. It was like playing the strings of a zither …

"Yu!"

Then he vanished.

Although he was gone, the hearts of the prostrating Outsider cultivators trembled violently, as if a tempest were about to erupt.

That was especially true of the peak Sovereigns, whose hearts were pounding.

They were no ordinary people. In fact, if it weren't for the restrictions placed on them by the fifth ring, they would have long since reached Immortal Ascension.

And the more extraordinary his experience was, the more his heart was shaken at this moment.

"Time and space?"

"That Lord's constitution … is actually time and space!"

"His cultivation base is only at the Sovereign level, and his Immortal Embryo is only an illusion. However, the feeling he gave off just now was that he was definitely not at the Sovereign level!"

"That person … what rank is he in this year's Ascendant?"

Even as the hearts of the Outsiders trembled, something else was happening in Mo Yang Universe. In the area where the fish head was located, at the edge of the region that resembled both a black hole and a sun ….

A middle-aged cultivator sat there cross-legged.

His expression was cold, and he wore an embroidered robe. His long blue hair floated around him, and his eyes were closed.

Shockingly, he held a fishing rod in his hand!

The fishing line was stuck into the black hole in front of him. He was fishing!

A moment later, he frowned, then opened his eyes and looked off into the starry sky.

Almost as soon as he looked over, the starry sky suddenly wrinkled!

It was like a piece of paper that folded and then transformed into a door, from which Xu Qing stepped out.

As soon as he appeared, Xu Qing's face was expressionless. He looked at the fishing Cultivator, then at the black hole in the Black Lands.

As for the starry sky behind him, it was no longer wrinkled and had returned to normal.

"Origin Substance?"

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.

Earlier, he had only sent a strand of Divine Will, which had been quickly crushed. His attention had been completely focused on the evil guest, and therefore, he hadn't been able to detect the profundity of the Black Lands' black hole.

Now that he was here in person, he instantly sensed the power of Origin Substance within the black hole.

Perhaps it was because of the uniqueness of the Black Lands, or perhaps the gravitational force of the black hole itself, but the Origin Substance was unable to seep out. The only way was to use this method of fishing to draw it in.

Even so, Xu Qing's spirits were still lifted.

Although the aura of this Origin Substance was restrained, making it difficult to extract, it should be known that Origin Substance was the source of the Upper Star Ring. It could even be said that it was the core energy of the entire Upper Star River.

At the same time, it was also the key to the completion of the Immortal Embryo!

The existence of such energy was precious!

"Is this why the Mo Yang Universe is listed as a strategic resource?"

Xu Qing was prepared to study it thoroughly later. Finally, he looked away from the black hole in the Black Lands and back at the middle-aged Cultivator.

"Leave this place."

Xu Qing said in a low voice.

The middle-aged cultivator was Kunwu.

He looked at Xu Qing, and his expression darkened.

"You're this batch of ascenders?"

Xu Qing didn't say anything and just looked at Kunwu calmly.

Kunwu narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up Xu Qing. He could not see through him. Moreover, he sensed that although the other party was not a Quasi-Immortal, he still had the combat strength of a Quasi-Immortal. He also sensed the space-time fluctuations around Xu Qing.

That put him on guard. After a moment of thought, he slowly spoke.

"I come from a great immortal sect. Although this universe used to be special, it has now become ordinary … so I'll borrow it first."

"Not much. Three hundred years."

"As for the reward …"

Before Kunwu could finish speaking, Xu Qing had already raised his right hand. The Space-Time Constitution in his body suddenly spread out.

To control the time of all living beings in the Mo Yang Universe!

If it was any other universe, then with Xu Qing's current cultivation, he would naturally be unable to accomplish this. After all, any universe was practically boundlessly large.

But Mo Yang Universe was different.

The moment he descended, he was already the master of this universe's Immortal Palace. There was a master-subordinate karma between him and Mo Yang Universe. This place … became his private Universe.

It was like the God World in the system of gods.

Therefore, his Divine Will could use this karma to cover the entire universe.

And now, his Space-time Constitution was the same.

In an instant, the time of the entire Mo Yang Universe surged and was taken over by Xu Qing's constitution.

Thus, the sound of flowing water echoed.

The sound of waves could be heard.

A vast water vein meandered and flowed, growing larger and larger until it finally formed a great river of time that shook the universe. In an instant … it appeared above Xu Qing's raised right hand!

The great river was world-shocking, containing the shadows of all living beings and the spirits of all living beings. It was as if it had been the cradle of civilization since ancient times, nourishing the vast starry sky and countless living beings.

At this moment, it was being controlled by Xu Qing's Xian.

The instant Xu Qing lowered his right hand, he pressed it downward.

The starry sky trembled, and the void distorted.

All the foreign race cultivators who sensed this scene were shocked, and the expression of the middle-aged man who was fishing also changed greatly.

A strong sense of danger rose from the bottom of his heart. He had no time to explain himself. Kunwu's Quasi-Immortal cultivation was fully unleashed. In the blink of an eye, flowers bloomed in the surroundings. Stalks of grass and trees sprouted from the ground.

Countless plants appeared out of thin air in an instant and grew at an astonishing speed, spreading out into the void.

It was as if a boundless primitive forest had been drawn in the starry sky.

It even surged towards the descending River of Time.

It spread through the River of Time, growing in the river, as if it wanted to turn the vast water vein into a part of the jungle!

It wanted to envelop him!

This was Kunwu's constitution!

Plant Master.

Xu Qing's face was expressionless as he formed a series of hand seals with his right hand.

Instantly, the countless heavenly bodies in the Mo Yang Universe began to tremble as their time was sucked away and transformed into … sand in the river of time!

Every grain of sand was a star.

With the stars as the sand, the river had a "foundation" and "weight".

Once again, it was suppressed.

The vegetation in the river instantly collapsed, and the forest outside the river also showed signs of withering.

However, as a Quasi-Immortal, Kunwu was naturally extraordinary.

Thus, the collapse was being restored, and the withering was also attempting to reverse.

As for his body, he was no longer sitting cross-legged. Instead, he suddenly retreated and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He could tell that Xu Qing wasn't simple.

"Sovereign level cultivation, but possessing the battle prowess of a Quasi-Immortal."

"No wonder you're unwilling to lend this place to me. However … you're still not a Quasi-Immortal!"

As he spoke, a sharp glint appeared in Kunwu's eyes. He raised his hands and waved them fiercely.

"Reverse Heaven and Earth!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, all of the plants in the area stopped collapsing, and all of them stopped withering. Instead … they began to self-destruct and wither.

In an instant, all the plants in the area died.

Their deaths formed a thick aura of death that instantly gathered in Kunwu's voice.

"Borrow the Death Constitution, use death to exchange for life!"

The aura of death condensed into a gray painting. Within it, Xu Qing's figure was outlined.

This painting was like a seal of death. Anyone who was drawn on it would lose their life.

This was none other than Kunwu's assassin, Tong. It was his development and expansion of his own constitution.

Xu Qing's eyes flashed coldly as he sensed danger. He waved his hand.

Instantly, the River of Time began to rumble, and its shape changed. It became a vortex, which rumbled as it spun, drawing in the wind to form … a space-time tempest!

Out of nowhere.

The painting trembled, and Xu Qing's figure began to grow blurry. It was impossible to make out the outline of Xu Qing's figure.

At this moment, the storm formed by Avici was heading straight for Kunwu.

Kunwu's expression changed again when he saw his killer move being neutralized. He retreated rapidly, and his mind shook violently.

"To be able to control the constitution to such an extent, what rank are you among this batch of ascenders?"

Xu Qing didn't reply. Although he hadn't fought many Quasi-Immortals, he knew very well that every Quasi-Immortal had their own strong points. This was especially so for the person in front of him. He was an ascender from the previous batches and was also a prodigy.

Such a Quasi-Immortal was naturally stronger.

Thus, the parallel constitution in his body moved.

Layers of space-time began to descend.

It was like the opening of a kaleidoscope!

It was even more heavenly!

Kunwu's pupils shrank and a strong sense of danger exploded in his heart. Without any hesitation, he took out the Immortal slip to return to his universe and began to teleport.

He didn't want to fight anymore!

He'd originally chosen to be an unwelcome guest and continue to stay here because of his cultivation. At the same time, he knew that most of the newly ascended cultivators were Sovereigns.

With his cultivation base, although he was only one of the sixty or so ascenders back then, he was now a Quasi-Immortal. It was normal for him to bully the newcomers.

He had been through the same thing in the past.

Therefore, he was prepared to forcibly suppress it.

After all, although Mo Yang Universe had been glorious in the past, it was now ordinary.

However, he didn't expect that the person who had taken over this universe would be so difficult to deal with and that his combat power would be so astonishing.

Especially when he saw the Kaleidoscope. The sense of crisis he felt had reached the pinnacle.

It was as if he would die if he was a step late.

This caused him to be incomparably shocked. His body began to blur as he was teleported away.

He disappeared in an instant!

It was just that Justice had already left with him.

Xu Qing looked over coldly. After a moment, he raised his hand and Justice returned, stained with blood.

At the same time, all the experts of the alien races in the Mo Yang universe who were watching the battle were shocked. They lowered their heads and worshipped Xu Qing.

Just like the question in Kunwu's heart before he left, these Xeno-race experts were all astounded, and they had guesses about Xu Qing's ranking in their hearts.

......

At the same time, in the starry sky not far from Mo Yang Universe, only seven or eight universes away, there was a universe called Heavenfold.

Meanwhile, Kunwu's figure emerged from the Immortal Palace in the Heavenfold Universe.

The moment he appeared, he coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and shock remained in his eyes.

His complexion became even paler, and his hair changed from blue to gray, showing signs of withering.

Even his aura was unstable. Even though he immediately sat down cross-legged and did not hesitate to consume his immortal embryo in an attempt to stabilize his cultivation base, his cultivation base fluctuated up and down. In the end, he was still stuck at Quasi-Immortal.

His entire body began to decline.

Fortunately, it didn't decline too much, and it finally stopped at the pinnacle of the Sovereign Realm.

After a while, he opened his eyes and smiled bitterly.

His heart still palpitated when he recalled the sudden appearance of that speck of dust during the teleportation.

"This person is definitely not an ordinary person. Among the newly ascended cultivators, he must be one of the most famous!"

Kunwu took a deep breath. He regretted his decision to stay in the Mo Yang Universe. He sighed and sent a voice transmission to his friend to ask about the top ten ascenders.

After receiving a reply, Kunwu's body jolted, and her eyes widened in shock.

"First …"

Kunwu was stunned for a moment before she felt relieved. She secretly cursed her bad luck …

"No wonder he's so strong!"

But in the next moment, he frowned again.

"That's not right. Normally, such a person should have obtained a special universe. As for Mo Yang, although it was once special, it has now become ordinary. Could it be … there's something in Mo Yang Universe that I don't know about?"

Kunwu hesitated, but in the end, she shook her head and dismissed the thought of exploring.

If Xu Qing had been an ordinary Ascendant, he wouldn't have paid much attention to him. Even if Xu Qing were in the top ten, he would still have called upon other Fellow Daoists to join him. After all, he was from the Great Immortal Mountain, and thus had many connections in the Nine Shores Heaven.

However, he knew very well that the first person was not someone he could provoke.

"The first of the previous batch of ascenders will always be noticed by the Nine Shores Immortal Lord… We can't afford to offend such a person."

.........................

I'm sorry, everyone. I really didn't have time for the past two days. I'm back today, so I'll resume my update.
