Chapter 1329: Master's Kindness and Disciple's Filial Piety

Third Senior Brother had a confused expression as he muttered under his breath while the sound of the opera echoed in the air.

"The Black Pagoda lied to me, making me think that the call came from the Ghost Emperor Mountain…

"But I didn't know that the real call came from here "

"I've been to the Absolute Beginning Pillar before, but at that time, I didn't have the same feeling as today…"

Third Senior Apprentice Brother's voice drifted in the wind and snow. Xu Qing understood that all of this was because of the Black Pagoda's power.

It wanted Third Senior Apprentice Brother to fuse with the Ghost Emperor.

So, not only did it lie to him, but it also transferred the call to the Ghost Emperor Mountain.

Although he didn't know why the Black Pagoda valued the Ghost Emperor …

Although the Ghost Emperor was strong, that was only for low-level cultivators. For higher-level cultivators, a Smoldering God cultivation was not enough.

"Maybe there's some origin that I don't know about…"

Xu Qing was deep in thought. At this moment, Third Senior Apprentice Brother seemed to have lost his mind as he slowly walked towards the ghost cave.

He didn't stop at the edge of the cave …

He leaped in.

Xu Qing followed behind him.

In the dark ghost cave, the singing was even clearer, and there were pieces of paper money floating out from the depths of the ghost cave.

The foreign matter was also extremely dense here.

But Third Senior Apprentice Brother didn't care about this, and he allowed the foreign matter to attack him and the paper money to dance around him. His figure went deeper and deeper … faster and faster.

Just like his heart at this moment.

He had waited for one life after another, as if it was all for this moment.

The memories he had lost, the figures he had forgotten. At this moment, it was as if they had been recalled from time to time, replayed in the cycle of reincarnation, and formed an outline in his mind.

So, his expression was a little excited, and his body trembled.

Looking at all of this, another figure appeared in Xu Qing's mind.

That person had also been in the forbidden area at the edge of the scavenger camp in the Southern Phoenix Continent. While singing, he looked at his lover walking over, and a similar expression appeared on his face, similar excitement, similar trembling.

"Captain Thunder…"

Xu Qing muttered in his heart as he silently followed behind Third Senior Apprentice Brother.

It helped him to disperse the foreign matter and increase his speed.

Finally, a red lamp gradually appeared in the dark ghost cave. As it got closer and closer… a wooden house appeared in front of Third Senior Apprentice Brother's eyes.

It was a dilapidated wooden house that seemed to have experienced countless years of decay.

The wooden house was shaped like a pentagon.

There was a gray iron chain at each corner, which was connected to the mud wall in the distance.

On the five corners of the wooden house, where the iron chains were connected, there were several terrifying corpses.

One of them was drenched from head to toe and severely rotten. He wore a tattered black robe that seemed to have gone through countless years and was riddled with holes.

The other body had its hands placed on its stomach and tore it open, revealing the abdominal cavity that had no internal organs.

The third corpse was different from the first two. There was a red vine wrapped tightly around his neck.

The two ends of the vine were grabbed by the corpse's hands and pulled with all its might, strangling it to death.

The fourth and fifth corpses were equally strange.

Where the former was, there was a wordless tombstone.

Under the tombstone lay the skeleton of a baby.

As for the fifth corpse … it was a corpse that had been burned by fire. Xu Qing was familiar with its appearance.

It was not the one he had seen before, but the one who had died here… Tai Si Daozi.

"Metal is for digging, wood is for hanging, water is for drowning, fire is for burning, and earth is for burying."

Xu Qing said softly, and then looked at the wooden house that was suspended in the air by the five iron chains.

There was a faint red light in the wooden house, which reflected the figure of a woman on the windowpane.

Through the broken windowpane, one could see that it was a woman in a red opera robe. She was sitting by the window, and at this moment, she stretched out her white hand and threw out paper money.

The paper money was blown up by the cold aura and floated up.

However, at a certain moment, as the paper money flew in the air, the hand that had reached out suddenly paused.

The singing came to a stop at this moment.

"You… are here…"

A gentle voice, tinged with bitterness, echoed within the wooden house.

Third Senior Apprentice Brother's body trembled as he looked at the figure reflected in the windowpane.

"I'm late…"

As he muttered, Third Senior Apprentice Brother wanted to open the door of the wooden house, but the door did not open at all.

"Just sit outside and chat with me… That's enough…"

In the wooden house, the woman's voice also trembled.

Third Senior Apprentice Brother nodded and sat outside the wooden house, looking at the figure on the windowpane. The memories in his mind churned, but they were still blurry.

The love of seven lives finally came to this life.

However, he realized that he only remembered the feeling, but forgot the person.

Xu Qing looked at this scene and sighed in his heart.

He did not know the story between Third Senior Apprentice Brother and the woman in the ghost cave, but he knew the reason why the woman in the wooden house did not meet Third Senior Apprentice Brother.

Because she was still beautiful on the windowpane.

But she was already a corpse in the wooden house.

This altar, this ceremony, was never the five corpses…

It was the six corpses!

She was the sixth corpse, the corpse of love.

So they… needed some time alone.

Therefore, Xu Qing's gaze shifted and fell below the wooden house.

Others could not see it, but in Xu Qing's eyes, everything here was incomparably clear, including the trembling eye at the bottom of the ghost cave that did not dare to open at all.

Back then, when this eye opened, it gave Xu Qing a lot of pressure, putting him in a life-and-death crisis. If it were not for someone helping him, he would have probably mutated and died.

But now, this eye was insignificant in Xu Qing's eyes.

"So, it's from Brilliant Heaven..." Xu Qing said softly.

He sensed the same bloodline ripples as the Golden Crow Prince from this eye.

Therefore, he raised his hand and grabbed slightly.

In the next instant, the trembling God's Spiritual Eye was instantly affected and continuously shrank until it was the size of a fist. It flew out and landed in Xu Qing's palm.

The golden eye trembled more and more intensely.

Xu Qing did not care about the God's Spiritual Eye in his hand. After putting it away, the strange substance in the ghost cave lost its source and instantly became much fewer.

Even the decaying wooden house was slowly showing signs of life.

Looking at the figure in the wooden house and then at Third Senior Apprentice Brother, Xu Qing slowly retreated.

The moment he was about to leave the ghost cave, Xu Qing's footsteps paused and he turned around to look at a rock wall of the ghost cave.

There, a figure was trembling and looking at him.

It was the centipede woman who had saved him back then.

Xu Qing's eyes were gentle. He raised his right hand and immediately a wisp of Immortal Origin spread out and entered the centipede woman's body to rebuild her foundation.

The centipede woman's body shook violently. When she raised her head again, Xu Qing's figure was no longer there.

......

The wind and snow were still fluttering.

Time was like falling snowflakes, falling piece by piece.

Xu Qing ended the suppression of the Wanggu Continent and did not appear in front of people easily.

However, the rise of the Human Race was imperative. Under the leadership of the Empress, thousands of races had attached themselves to her, including the strong races with Gods.

Most of the Gods among them had chosen to hide.

Only the Mysterious Heaven Clan of the Flaming Moon Clan, after the return of the Mud Fox's God Clone, became energetic and leaped above the sun and moon, forming an alliance with the Human Race.

They helped the Human Race to build a new era.

During this process, there were still some people who tried to resist. The entire Wanggu Continent was like a sieve. After the God Remnant Face descended, it was infiltrated by various parties in various ways.

Some of them came from the Ninth Star Ring, while others came from further star rings.

However, with the help of the Mud Fox, everything was solved smoothly. Even if they encountered some people who were related to the forces outside the Wanggu Continent, Zhou Zhengli and the others also came.

Therefore, everything was very smooth.

The unification of the Wanggu Continent was already a fact.

While everything was going on, Xu Qing did not go to see his old friends for a long time. Instead, under Er Niu's expectation, he came with him… to the Human Race's Imperial Capital. The seal…

The entrance of the Brilliant Heaven!

On the Wanggu Continent, except for the Great Heaven-Devouring Region, Xu Qing had basically directly or indirectly swept through it. There was no big problem.

Under the Wanggu Continent, the Brilliant Heaven that existed…

It was time to solve it.

In addition, the Eldest Senior Brother's original body was also in the Brilliant Heaven.

"Let me tell you, Little Ah Qing, although you're awesome, your Eldest Senior Brother is also awesome in the Brilliant Heaven!"

Er Niu said proudly at the entrance of the seal.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone beside him raised his hand and slapped him hard on the head.

"If you're awesome, why don't you run out yourself? What's the point of jumping out with a clone?"

Master Seven glared at Er Niu.

This time, Master Seven also came to the Brilliant Heaven.

At this moment, he did not care about Er Niu's grievances. He turned his head and looked at Xu Qing kindly. His eyes were filled with gratification as if Xu Qing was his only disciple in this life.

"Filial disciple, I'm more familiar with the Brilliant Heaven. It will be easier for me to take you there.

Back then, those old guys couldn't kill the Brilliant Heaven God Emperor and could only seal him…"

"I think he's not dead yet. According to my analysis, that God Emperor should not be at the God Lord level, but he's infinitely close."

Xu Qing nodded and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Master."

"It's okay. Just like how I took you to the underground palace back then, I'll take you to the Brilliant Heaven this time!"

Master Seven waved his hand and smiled even more kindly.

Er Niu, who seemed to have been completely ignored, felt sour in his heart and hurriedly spoke.

"Master, you're too biased. At that time, you took me and Little Ah Qing with you in the underground palace. Why didn't you mention me at all!"

"And… I'm also familiar with the Brilliant Heaven. I'm more familiar with it than you!

Have you seen the God Emperor? Let me tell you, old man. I even went to the place where the God Emperor was sealed. At that time, I… "

Er Niu was dissatisfied and clamored. However, before he could finish speaking, Master Seven kicked Er Niu toward the entrance.

"You bastard, since you like to call me old man, don't call me Master in the future. Are you familiar with the Brilliant Heaven?

Go in and explore the way first! "

Er Niu screamed and fell into the entrance of the seal. Master Seven did not even look at him. He looked at Xu Qing with a smile and took his hand.

"Filial disciple, let's go."
