Chapter 1205: Leading the Galaxy
Chapter 1205: Leading the Galaxy
All newly ascended cultivators were given a year to rest and recuperate after entering the Heavens Beyond and settling into their respective universes.
This year was to allow the newly ascended cultivators to familiarize themselves with the Heavens Beyond Heaven, familiarize themselves with the universe they were in, and digest the rewards they had received.
Until the end of the rest period, they would be summoned by the Nine Shores Heaven's receiving universe.
What awaited them would be future arrangements for their duties.
As this information surfaced in Xu Qing's mind, he had already returned to the Immortal Palace in the Mo Yang Universe.
Standing on the teleportation formation at the center of the Immortal Palace, Xu Qing did not hesitate to activate the teleportation formation.
As for the fox beauty, she turned into a mark and stuck to Xu Qing's arm.
Soon, as the Immortal Palace shook, a terrifying wave spread out in all directions.
Amidst the rumbling, the power of teleportation erupted.
The teleportation this time around was much longer than the one Xu Qing had experienced before. Clearly, the receiving universe was extremely far away from Mo Yang.
After an unknown period of time, in Xu Qing's perception, he seemed to have had a colorful dream.
In the dream, everything was blurry. Countless colors weaved together to form a distorted light.
When the light gradually dissipated, his vision became clear.
A vast golden river was reflected in Xu Qing's eyes.
This river contained innumerable star regions and innumerable star whirlpools, which were filled with innumerable stars.
Each of these stars emitted a unique golden light.
The stars in the golden river were originally motionless, but the flowing starlight gave off the feeling that the golden river was flowing from top to bottom.
This was the first time Xu Qing had seen such a golden galaxy.
And this place was the guiding universe!
It was also one of the seventy-two governing Daoist authorities in the Nine Shores Heaven, second only to the Immortal Palace!
It was a place of authority within the Nine Shores Heaven's system, and it was the headquarters of the reception system that could command the other Realms Beyond Heavens in their respective epochs.
Not only were they responsible for the guidance of the newly ascended, but they were also responsible for the guidance of the small worlds under the fifth star ring and the arrangement of the alien races in the entire universe of the fifth star ring.
To a certain extent, it was both a recruit camp and a personnel coordination division.
The ones overseeing this place were naturally Lower Immortals, and there were quite a few of them.
As Xu Qing looked at all of this and sensed the majesty of the golden river, his heart trembled. A strand of starlight split off from the astonishing golden river and shot towards him.
Compared to the entire Golden River, the light was insignificant. However, due to the distance between them, Xu Qing could see that the incoming beam of golden starlight was vast and boundless.
They quickly enveloped him, forming a suction force.
As for the source of this golden starlight that guided Xu Qing here …. It was a star in a star jade within a star region in the lower reaches of this world shocking golden river!
Moreover, such starlight guidance was everywhere in the entire universe.
It was the same for all the cultivators who were teleported here.
Depending on the purpose of the visit, starlight from different regions would arrive.
In the next instant, under the guidance of the light, Xu Qing's body headed straight for the star.
The speed was so fast that it was as if his entire body was being pulled by a powerful force, falling down like a meteor.
In the blink of an eye, he was pulled into the starry river from the outside, into the starry river among the countless stars.
Everything in front of him was rapidly changing.
Until a rumbling sound reverberated.
Xu Qing's body landed in the sea on the planet.
This was a black sea that was incomparably viscous, like jelly.
His body fell to the surface of the sea under that extreme pull, bringing about a huge impact.
Fortunately, Xu Qing's cultivation was strong enough to withstand it.
If it had been a lower level cultivator, their soul would have been pulled out, and their physical body would have been destroyed.
However, even if Xu Qing's level of cultivation was high enough, the moment his body crashed down, the terrifying impact caused him to sink into the jelly black sea, forming a deep pit in the sea.
After a while, Xu Qing struggled to fly out of the deep crater he had created. Looking around, the sky was golden, and the ground was a boundless black sea of frozen fruit.
Streaks of golden starlight could be seen in the air, attracting cultivators.
As a result, the roar of falling into the sea continued.
On the surface of the sea, there were dozens of deep craters.
There were a few cultivators flying out of the deep pit one after another. Most of them were in a sorry state.
Some of them even had blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. It was obvious that they were still in shock.
In the crowd, Xu Qing saw Zhou Zhengli, Xie Lingzi, Li Mengtu, Yuanshan Su, and Qian Jun and Bi Yi.
These people were all ascenders from the same realm as Xu Qing.
At this moment, all of them had been brought here.
The Xing Huanzi was also among them.
But compared to the others, Xing Huanzi was clearly more composed. When Xu Qing's gaze fell on him, he turned to look at him.
The two of them looked at each other and withdrew their gazes expressionlessly.
Just like that, time passed. More and more people arrived. Some were alone, some were in groups. Based on their past, as well as their interactions over the past year, they were divided into various groups.
Xie Lingzi was still single as always.
Yuanshan Su clearly wasn't willing to join the other factions. She originally planned on going alone, but there were some female cultivators among the ascenders who naturally chose to come to her.
Qian Jun and Bi Yi chose to stand beside Xing Huanzi. There were dozens of cultivators around him who also made the same choice.
As for the place with the most people, it was naturally Xu Qing's.
The title of number one made even more people smile when they saw Xu Qing.
Zhou Zhengli and Li Mengtu were among them. They walked to Xu Qing's side, and the former bowed with a humble smile as usual.
The latter's expression was grave as he spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Xu, there are eleven people missing from this batch!"
"According to my calculations, there are only eighty-nine people here!"
Xu Qing nodded slightly. Zhou Zhengli, who was beside him, smiled.
"He's probably dead."
"Although this year is a period of rest, it's also a period of adaptation. Since ancient times, our Star Ring has been like raising poisonous insects."
"So …" Zhou Zhengli glanced at Xu Qing. In the past year, he had actually inquired a lot about the Human Realm Upon Heavens, so he was also vigilant about the future.
His desire to build a good relationship with Xu Qing also deepened.
Thus, he spoke again.
"It's not just the Four Great Star Fields. It's even crueler and more intense in this world."
"As for the upper echelons, those who are truly valued by them must at least be at the Quasi-Immortal level, such as the Young Master, Xing Huanzi, and Yuanshan Su. Perhaps in this generation, only the three of you are valued.
Sovereigns … those in power wouldn't care too much about it.
Therefore, unless you have deeper connections, if you want to continue on and obtain more resources, it is naturally best to unite by the Quasi-Immortal's side. "
Zhou Zhengli did not conceal his voice when he spoke these last words. Therefore, those ascenders surrounding Xu Qing heard it very clearly.
Everyone began to ponder in their hearts.
Xu Qing glanced at Zhou Zhengli.
Zhou Zhengli smiled humbly.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and recalled the words Zhou Zhengli had said before he left a year ago.
"He guessed that the arrangement of duties this time was for everyone to be together …"
Xu Qing fell into deep thought.
Time slowly passed as the crowd waited.
Apart from them, there were no other cultivators on the vast ocean.
No receptionist appeared either.
None of them were ordinary people, so they naturally wouldn't become impatient after waiting for such a short period of time. Thus, they all sat down cross-legged.
Another two hours passed.
When the wind started blowing, Xu Qing and Xing Huanzi both noticed it and lifted their heads to look at the sky.
Yuanshan Su was the third to look up.
The others were relatively slow to realize this, and they all looked over.
The blue dome of heaven rippled, and golden light suddenly appeared.
Those golden lights were also guiding lights, and there were a total of 70 to 80 of them. A few people were in the lead, and the rest were behind them.
In the next moment, heaven and earth shook.
Among these golden lights, there were only a few bodies that had created deep pits on the surface of the sea. Most of them had landed on the surface of the sea at the instant they landed.
It was as if they had been here many times and had mastered the technique of controlling it.
They were all wearing the same clothes.
They were all wearing the grey robes that Xu Qing had seen in the Dao Refinement Universe!
It was a special outfit that belonged only to the notorious Greedy Envoys.
There were seven or eight Quasi-Immortals among them, and they were the leaders of the others.
After they landed, Xu Qing's expression was the same as ever. However, there were quite a few of the new batch of Ascendants who had serious expressions on their faces.
The cultivators who were being stared at by this batch of ascenders also looked over.
His gaze swept over Xu Qing and the others.
His gaze was like that of a wolf, filled with indifference and coldness towards life.
Then, without another word, the leader of the group took a step forward and flew off into the distance.
"Young Master, they are Greedy Envoys … It seems that the planet we're being led to this time is most likely related to Greedy Envoys."
Zhou Zhengli said in a low voice.
Xu Qing nodded.
However, the descent did not end there.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the golden light in the sky reappeared.
Just like before, there were dozens of them, and just like before, they were dressed in a hundred hooded robe. After the newcomers landed, they did not stop, but instead charged into the distance.
Just like that, as time passed, batch after batch of Greedy Envoys arrived.
During this period, they mostly ignored Xu Qing and the other newcomers.
The more Xu Qing saw, the more sinister and greedy their auras were. The more powerful they were, the stronger their corpse and death auras were.
It was the same for the blood.
It was as if he had been dealing with corpses and death all year round.
When night fell and the golden light in the sky dimmed, dozens of golden lights whistled down and turned into figures on the surface of the sea.
Among them, there was one whose aura was extremely shocking.
It was an old man who looked like a vulture. His Immortal Embryo had almost reached perfection.
He was only one step away from becoming an immortal!
After landing, he took the lead and was about to leave ….
Suddenly, a middle-aged cultivator among the people behind the old man stopped moving. He turned around and swept his gaze past Xu Qing and the others. Eventually, his gaze landed on Xing Huanzi and Qian Jun and Bi Yi, who stood behind him.
Then, he smiled.
Xu Qing had seen this person before. It was the Quasi-Immortal cultivator who wanted to recruit thousands of troops in the Dao Refinement Universe!
His gaze was focused on Xing Huanzi, and his pause also caused the others around him to stop as well.
Then, he quickly walked over to the old man with the terrifying aura and whispered something to him.
Then, the old man frowned, but he still nodded.
After obtaining the old man's agreement, the middle-aged man smiled and walked toward Xing Huanzi.
"My team has lost a few people in this battle and will continue to replenish them. Now, I'm recruiting the three of you to join my team!"
