Chapter 1007: You self-destructed back then

Following Xu Qing's words, a murderous intent spread from him, as if a cold wind swept across the square, scattering coldness in the hearts of the people here.

The Immortal Masters here, regardless of their past stance, since Miss Yuedong was in the lead now, naturally shared a common hatred, showing hostility towards Xu Qing.

The Yun family Young Master also had killing intent rising in his heart; he would not allow anyone to hurt Miss Yuedong.

As for the representatives of the various Sovereign Mountains, they had long heard of the grudge between Xue Chenzi and Miss Yuedong, so they had no reason to participate, and they didn't think the two sides would really fight to the death here.

At most, it would just be a battle.

Additionally, even if they really fought to the death, it had nothing to do with them.

So after Miss Yuedong's words, the old man of the First Sovereign Mountain kept his expression gloomy and left first.

The other Sovereign Mountain representatives also left one by one. The last to leave was Lin Kun of the Fifth Sovereign Mountain.

Before leaving, his gaze fell on Xu Qing.

After Xu Qing nodded slightly, Lin Kun smiled and walked out of the Immortal Art Hall.

Following the departure of all parties, Xu Qing was the only Sovereign Mountain representative left here. Facing the hostility of these Immortal Masters and the Yun family Young Master, Xu Qing's expression remained as usual.

Cold light flashed in Miss Yuedong's eyes, and she spoke lightly.

"You all go down too. Without my order, you are not allowed to enter."

The Immortal Masters here bowed their heads one after another. Even if there were thoughts in their hearts, they had to obey Miss Yuedong's decree, so they all retreated.

Only that Yun family Young Master did not leave. Instead, he walked towards Miss Yuedong, appearing to be in a posture of confronting Xu Qing together with her.

Towards this person, even Erniu felt helpless in his heart.

It was really that the other party... gave too much.

Whether it was items or help, it made Erniu feel bad about being cold, so he spoke calmly.

"This is a private matter between me and Xue Chenzi."

The Yun family Young Master's footsteps paused. After seeing Miss Yuedong's determination, he took a deep breath and chose to respect Miss Yuedong.

"Alright, I'll be outside. Winter... you just need to shout once, and I'll come in immediately."

Saying this, his eyes carried ferocity as he stared at Xu Qing, and only then did he leave reluctantly.

This scene fell into Xu Qing's eyes, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. Until the Yun family Young Master left, only he and Miss Yuedong remained here, and after Miss Yuedong raised her hand to set up an isolation barrier... the strangeness in Xu Qing's heart appeared on his face.

"Little Ah Qing, what kind of expression is that!"

Noticing the expression on Xu Qing's face, Erniu also felt awkward in his heart, his eyes widening.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Nothing, congratulations to the Eldest Brother for seizing the East Moyu Immortal Art Hall and becoming the Great Immortal Master!"

Xu Qing said, cupping his fists and bowing.

Seeing Xu Qing like this, Erniu didn't bother with the previous expression. His heart was filled with arrogance and pride at this moment, and he raised his chin.

"Your Eldest Brother, I, was just testing the waters. I don't really care about the status of a mere Great Immortal Master."

Although he said this, the expression and the raised chin were all telling Xu Qing... hurry up and praise me, praise me more.

Xu Qing saw Erniu's habits very clearly, so he swept his gaze over the other party's brow, thought for a moment in his heart, and spoke softly.

"Looking at the entire West Moyu, there are many who desire to become the Great Immortal Master, but they can only look up and cannot do it."

"From this, it can be seen that the Eldest Brother's excellence, even in this Moyu Holy Land, is incomparable."

Hearing this, Erniu was overjoyed. Being praised by Xu Qing like this was extremely comfortable for him.

Seeing this, Xu Qing swept his gaze over Erniu's brow again and continued to speak.

"After all, that Great Elder was a Yun Shen powerhouse, especially the wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and fire, which were sharp..."

Speaking to this point, Xu Qing paused intentionally, looking at Erniu.

Erniu was arrogant, disdainfully transmitting words.

"That's nothing. Mine is even more awesome. That old thing used wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and fire; I used gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each of the Five Elements is a supreme treasure!"

Xu Qing was thoughtful, then continued without a trace.

"I think the Eldest Brother must have used the wood of the Five Elements as the key point of fusion and refining."

Erniu sneered, putting on a posture of being knowledgeable.

"You don't understand this. Wood doesn't work; I mainly used gold!"

"Gold?" Xu Qing shook his head, putting on a look of doubt.

Seeing Xu Qing's doubt, Erniu couldn't help but speak.

"Little Ah Qing, you are ignorant. The gold I used is not simple. That was when you self-destructed back then..."

Erniu paused abruptly when he said this, realizing he had made a slip of the tongue. His heart shook, and he immediately changed his words.

"After reporting your identity, that... this..."

Erniu was sweating on his forehead, while Xu Qing was staring intently, watching Erniu unable to make it up, and spoke lightly.

"Eldest Brother, what did I self-destruct back then?"

Erniu laughed dryly, stepping back a few steps.

Xu Qing stepped forward, breaking through the air instantly, appearing in front of Erniu, staring at his brow.

"Eldest Brother, the thing hidden in your brow has always given me a feeling of the same origin. This is the gold you mentioned, right."

Erniu sweated even more. Knowing he couldn't hide it, he rolled his eyes and spoke righteously.

"Since you discovered it, I'm relieved. When you self-destructed in the human imperial capital back then, your body turned into fly ash, leaving only a little bit of bone slag. I helped you collect it bit by bit, through all kinds of hardships, intending to give it to you."

"But I was worried that if you saw your own remains, you would feel sad in your heart, so I considered not making you sad, intending to keep it on me as a memento..."

As he spoke, Erniu became righteous.

"Is it wrong for me to keep a memento!"

Xu Qing looked at Erniu, unable to speak for a long time, and finally, his expression was ugly, and he shook his head.

"Eldest Brother, this cauldron is your past life, right? No wonder you were beaten to death back then; you take everything."

Erniu felt guilty, about to speak.

Outside the square, fluctuations in the restriction came; it was the Yun family Young Master worrying, creating fluctuations to inquire.

Until Erniu transmitted his voice outside to soothe him, this fluctuation stopped.

Xu Qing looked at the direction where the Yun family Young Master left, and thought of the Eldest Brother's behavior, so he spoke earnestly.

"Eldest Brother, this person... you should treat him well."

Erniu's skin was thick enough, so he put on a look of not understanding, raising his hand.

"Don't talk about this. Little Ah Qing, there are only a few days left until the day the place where the Ming Yan Great Emperor is in seclusion opens. You went to West Moyu with... that person a while ago. So, that person is that person?"

Erniu asked hurriedly.

Xu Qing nodded.

Erniu gasped.

"Sure enough, I guessed it. This is clearly a look of wanting to eat alone from the beginning. But Little Ah Qing, you went to West Moyu with that person. Such a good opportunity, could it be that you just went to challenge and make a name for yourself?"

Erniu looked suspiciously at Xu Qing.

"This is not the style you and I have honed for so many years. Such a great opportunity, shouldn't you go do some private work."

Xu Qing blinked.

"I went to the West Moyu Immortal Art Hall once."

Erniu's eyes lit up.

"And then?"

"Then, I took a mark."

Xu Qing raised his hand and flipped it, and the mark of the Five Dog Immortal appeared in his palm.

Erniu's eyes went straight, staring at Xu Qing's palm, his eyes brighter than before.

"Haha, sure enough, it's my little junior brother. The style is the same as mine. I said it, such an opportunity, if you don't know how to use it, that's really stupid."

"This mark... is a treasure!"

Erniu licked his lips.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Unfortunately, according to my research, that Five Dog Immortal requires specific rituals and inheritance to obtain, and I only have this mark. Normal methods cannot master it."

"Oh? Let me try." Erniu said, raising his hand to grab the mark in Xu Qing's palm, as if deploying an immortal art, and the three shadows behind him raised their hands at the same time.

Under this grab, he really took the mark, pressing it on his brow with one palm.

Afterward, under Xu Qing's attention, Erniu and the shadows behind him shook at the same time, closing their eyes.

Clearly, he sank into the weakened version of the Five Dog Immortal Art.

Until a long time later, Erniu opened his eyes, revealing a sense of lingering fear, breathing out a long breath, and handed the mark to Xu Qing.

"Powerful!"

"But it is indeed necessary to have some special inheritance and rituals, otherwise you can only feel it and cannot master it..."

Erniu frowned, looking at Xu Qing.

"You just said that normal methods are difficult to master this immortal art, so... does that mean there are abnormal methods?"

A cold light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, staring at the mark in his hand, speaking low.

"After I returned to East Moyu, I once used the Mount Zhaoxia Light to simulate it, but it failed."

"But then an idea arose, which is to let this immortal art erupt on me again and again by constantly feeling the weakened version of the immortal art in this mark, so that I can slowly bear it, and then produce corresponding antibodies."

"The principle of antibodies is to remember the characteristics of the intruder. The more you understand it, the more comprehensive the antibodies produced will be."

"Therefore, although I cannot actively learn this immortal art due to the lack of inheritance and specific rituals."

"However, when I use this mark to erupt this immortal art on me again and again, making my body have more and more antibodies to this immortal art, until it is enough, my antibodies will gradually understand this immortal art comprehensively, and I will remember this immortal art, just like an instinctive memory."

"And by remembering this immortal art instinctively through antibodies, it is equivalent to me indirectly mastering this art, successfully bypassing the restrictions."

"As for how to actively display it after remembering it instinctively, the method is the simulation of the Mount Zhaoxia Light."

"With the simulation of the Mount Zhaoxia Light, truly display the power of this immortal art, because the core is real."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he raised his head to look at Erniu.

Erniu's eyes were wide open, staring blankly at Xu Qing. After a long time, he took a deep breath, and couldn't help but rise in his heart praise for Xu Qing's idea, murmuring low.

"Whimsical, unimaginable."

"But it sounds... like it really might work!"

Xu Qing nodded, sweeping his gaze over the square's restriction.

"But the premise of all this is to ensure that I am unharmed during these eruptions of immortal art. Although it is a weakened Five Dog Immortal Art, this art is strange."

"So Eldest Brother, I came here this time, and I also have a request."

"I need you to protect me, and once I sink, at the critical moment, combine our Six Thieves authority to wake me up from the Five Dog Immortal Art."

Hearing this, Erniu nodded solemnly. Afterward, the two discussed for a while. Xu Qing left on the surface, while Erniu explained to the outside world, and then chose to seclude himself.

That night, Xu Qing returned.

Just like this, in the research and attempts of the two on immortal arts, time passed.

Five days passed.

The major event that was concerned by the entire Moyu Holy Land, with the Moyu Great Emperor coming from the west, with the gaze of the various Sovereigns of East Moyu, with the coming out of Lu Lingzi... was also about to begin.

The place where the Ming Yan Great Emperor is in seclusion, the day of opening, had arrived! ===== CHAPTER 1010 =====
