Chapter 105: Emperor Xuanyou Ancient Emperor

With the very hard-working help of the Jin Gang Sect ancestor, Xu Qing found a storage bead hidden on the ancestor's corpse. This object was buried by the Jin Gang Sect ancestor in his flesh and blood. There were not many items inside, only three things.

One was a spirit ticket with a face value of five hundred spirit stones.

The second was a jade stone box, which seemed to have the effect of nourishing elixirs. One could see a purple elixir inside, which was being nourished.

The third was three jade slips, which recorded the Jin Gang Sect's cultivation technique and the artifact spirit residual method he mentioned earlier.

As for the storage bag used for covering, it contained sundries, with a value of about one hundred spirit stones.

Seeming to worry that Xu Qing was dissatisfied, the Jin Gang Sect ancestor hurriedly spoke in a low voice on the side.

"The Second Prince asked for too much last time, so there is not much left now."

"Was the storage bag in your sect's treasure pavilion before also a cover?" Xu Qing asked slowly.

"Yes..." The Jin Gang Sect ancestor's body trembled and said in a low voice.

Xu Qing did not speak. After destroying the corpse, he went to the ruins of the Jin Gang Sect mountain gate to search, and found the secret room mentioned by the Jin Gang Sect ancestor. It was also empty, with only a formation crossbow similar to a magic weapon.

It was indeed as the Jin Gang Sect ancestor said. This object was specially used on the Dharma boat and required a specific formation to activate. Xu Qing took a look and put it away.

Then he searched the Jin Gang Sect again, but it was too poor here, and the dead disciples had nothing valuable on them, only the Sect Master and several elders were slightly better.

"Master killed well. These rebellious disciples were secretly joining forces recently, preparing to take advantage of my seclusion to betray the sect. I originally planned to clean them up myself after a while."

Xu Qing did not pay attention to the truth or falsehood of the Jin Gang Sect ancestor's words. After searching, his figure flashed and left, gradually disappearing into the wind and snow.

The black firmament was filled with countless snowflakes, falling from the sky, spreading across the entire Red Plain. Looking at it, the original red of the land had disappeared, becoming white.

The wind was more piercing, rolling with snow, as if wanting to penetrate the cold into every corner of the land.

This winter, many people will die.

Xu Qing shrank his collar and galloped in the wilderness. He did not return to the scavenger camp, but traveled overnight to the city on the edge of the Red Plain.

"Must return to the Seven Blood Children as soon as possible, cannot stay here for long." Xu Qing said softly. During his words, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at the leather bag containing the black iron sign.

Regarding the Jin Gang Sect ancestor who had turned into an artifact spirit, Xu Qing had not decided whether to completely destroy him. At this moment, while galloping, he weighed in his heart and asked calmly about the Litu Sect.

Sensing that his little life was still not safe, the Jin Gang Sect ancestor felt bitter and nervous in his heart, but he did not dare to hide anything, telling everything he knew truthfully.

"The Litu Sect is a giant force in the Nanhuang Continent, as famous as the Seven Blood Children, Purple Earth, and Truth's Words, and its foundation is also in Wanggu. This branch in the Nanhuang Continent is its branch sect."

"Foundation in Wanggu?" Xu Qing looked at the Vajra Sect ancestor. Although he knew about the forces in the Nanhuang Continent, he obviously did not know as much as the Vajra Sect ancestor, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Hearing a trace of doubt in Xu Qing's words, the Jin Gang Sect ancestor immediately felt that it was time to show his value, so he spoke quickly.

"Master, among the four major forces in the Nanhuang Continent, except for Purple Earth, which is a true local force, the foundations of the other three are not in the Nanhuang Continent."

"Among them, the Seven Blood Children where you are, Master, is the most typical. The seven peaks within it seem to be one body, but in fact, each peak is mostly autonomous. It's just that they all recognize the rules of the Seven Blood Children and act under the rules. After many years, they have gradually merged together."

"The reason for this is that the seven peaks of the Seven Blood Children are actually branches jointly built in the Nanhuang Continent by the seven largest sects within the Seven Sect Alliance in the human region of the Wanggu Continent!"

"Branches like this are established on other islands inhabited by humans in the Endless Sea. It's just that the Nanhuang Continent is considered one of the largest islands in the Endless Sea, so the branch here has strong strength."

"As for Truth's Words, it is extremely mysterious, and I am not very clear."

Xu Qing's eyes condensed. He heard these things for the first time.

"The Seven Sect Alliance of the Wanggu Continent?"

"The Wanggu Continent is too big. Humans only have a place in it. But even so, this place is extremely vast. How big it is specifically, because I haven't been there, I don't know. But I heard that the Seven Sect Alliance is just a pretty good super force in the near-sea area of humans, but I think... compared to the entire human plate, it should not be the strongest batch."

"Of course, this is relative. For the little one, one peak of the Seven Blood Children in the Nanhuang Continent is already a behemoth..."

Listening to the Jin Gang Sect ancestor's words, Xu Qing's heart surged with big waves. He looked up at the distant world. Regarding this world, his cognition increased by one point.

"But I know the Litu Sect. This sect has believers among countless ethnic groups in the entire world, and its power is extremely majestic. This is all because of its doctrine..." The Jin Gang Sect ancestor continued to speak.

"The doctrine of the Litu Sect is to stay away from this cruel world. They fanatically believe in the ancient emperors and masters who left when the divine remnant face arrived in ancient times. They believe that one day, the holy land established by the ancient emperors and masters will take them away."

"And the reason why the Litu Sect has so many branches is that in their sect scrolls, it is recorded that a total of nine masters and ancient emperors left in ancient times and created the holy land."

"So the Litu Sect itself is divided into nine major factions, believing in different ancient emperor masters in the holy land. The factions are at odds with each other, all believing that the supreme one they believe in is the one who can truly take them away."

And those great ancient emperor masters not only have humans but also alien races. This is also the reason why the believers of the Litu Sect are spread across various ethnic groups."

Xu Qing listened to these words with a shocked heart. While digesting quickly, he asked a question.

"What kind of existence are the ancient emperor masters?"

The Jin Gang Sect ancestor was stunned. He didn't know this question himself, but he didn't want to show his ignorance while Xu Qing was still weighing his life and death, so after racking his brains, he spoke immediately.

"The realm of the ancient emperor masters, the little one cannot fathom, but I have seen descriptions in some ancient books... The existence that once unified the Wanggu Continent and suppressed ten thousand races is called the Ancient Emperor."

"And although they did not unify Wanggu, the strong ones who have heaven-defying power and can fight against the Ancient Emperor are called Masters."

Xu Qing's eyes revealed yearning, and he did not speak.

Seeing Xu Qing like this, the Jin Gang Sect ancestor breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't know whether this statement was true or false. After all, most of the ancient books he read were of the storybook type...

So he hurriedly changed the subject and continued to introduce the Litu Sect.

"The highest existence of the Litu Sect is called Si Ming. Legend has it that he is not a cultivator of this world, but comes from the holy land. He is the spiritual leader of the Litu Sect and is extremely mysterious."

"And the leaders of the nine major factions call themselves Holy Apostles."

"Among them, this faction in the Nanhuang Continent is only a partial branch of the Emperor Xuanyou faction. The true Emperor Xuanyou main faction is in Wanggu, believing in our human ancient emperor, the Emperor Xuanyou Ancient Emperor!"

"There are ancient book records that before the divine remnant face arrived, there was an era called the Emperor Xuanyou Era in many eras, which was created by the Emperor Xuanyou Ancient Emperor and once led humans to unify Wanggu."

Listening to the Jin Gang Sect ancestor's words, Xu Qing's thoughts surged in his heart. He galloped all the way until dawn broke and was replaced by the morning sun. As the morning glow appeared in the firmament, from afar, Xu Qing saw his destination.

That city, filled with dirt and chaos, was the only one on the Red Plain with a teleportation array.

Arriving here, Xu Qing already had a decision in his heart on how to deal with the Jin Gang Sect ancestor.

"That elixir of yours, what kind of elixir is it?"

"Ah, that is a Spirit Whale Elixir. The method of taking it is special. It cannot be swallowed immediately. It needs to be nourished in the jade box for a hundred days until it melts. Now, counting it, it will be there in three days." The Jin Gang Sect ancestor looked at the city in the distance and spoke hurriedly.

"I like quiet." After Xu Qing finished asking about the elixir, he suddenly said this.

The Jin Gang Sect ancestor shivered. Just as he was about to transmit words, a suppression from his life spirit suddenly arrived, covering the black iron sign, directly severely injuring him as an artifact spirit, and then sealing him.

After sealing one layer, Xu Qing was not at ease, increased the intensity of perception integration, and suppressed layer by layer. Only then did he feel secure.

In this layer-by-layer suppression and sealing, the Jin Gang Sect ancestor was extremely weak, on the verge of dissipating, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Qing ultimately did not choose to kill this Jin Gang Sect ancestor. The value of the artifact spirit made him decide to keep him to perfect his black iron sign.

However, without more means to check and balance him, and before his own cultivation broke through to Foundation Establishment, Xu Qing did not intend to let him wake up, and at the same time, he was prepared to erase him once he did not listen.

At this moment, after doing all this, he took a deep breath. In the wind and snow of this morning, he did not walk into the city ahead, but turned and flashed, galloping towards another direction.

The reason why he muttered at night that he wanted to return to the Seven Blood Children was to let the Jin Gang Sect ancestor hear it. Although the opponent turned into an artifact spirit and was honest all the way, and his words were sincere, Xu Qing would not easily believe it.

So the sentence about the elixir was a verification, and the sentence about returning to the Seven Blood Children was a distraction.

In terms of the former elixir, if the Jin Gang Sect ancestor lied, Xu Qing would destroy him next. As for the latter... if the Jin Gang Sect ancestor had some special means to reveal his tracks, then after being distracted, it would also be ineffective.

Because Xu Qing did not intend to return to the Seven Blood Children in a short time.

In the wind and snow, Xu Qing's speed was faster. He even used the flight talisman and galloped all the way.

Until the night of this day arrived, he finally found a hidden cave and drilled into it, sprinkled poison powder at the entrance, and carried out concealment. Only then did he sit cross-legged and took out the jade box where the Jin Gang Sect ancestor stored the elixir.

"Whether it is life or death, it depends on whether this elixir is as you said!"

Xu Qing looked down at the jade box, placed it in the distance, stepped back a few steps to observe the surroundings closely, and then pointed into the air.

Suddenly, the jade box opened slowly with a click, and a rich medicinal fragrance rushed towards his face. ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
