Chapter 1085: The Place of Immortal Fall

The moment the inheritance flower mark was taken off his eyebrows, a sense of relief from his consciousness spread in Xu Qing's heart like an invisible ripple.

It covered his whole body, landed on his feet, and scattered into nothingness.

It is precisely that the Dao is not far, in the body, all things are empty, but the nature is not empty.

At the same time, the cause and effect with the inheritance flower was broken, which also made Xu Qing's Dao no longer spread outward.

He used his actions to tell the existence that wanted to borrow the Dao...

I won't lend it!

Afterwards, he walked on the firmament, walked in the sky, his black hair fluttering, his green shirt fluttering, walking further and further away.

"The number of Constitutions, although it can affect combat power, must have a limit. Otherwise, there wouldn't be things like cutting off one's own extra Constitution and sending it out as an inheritance."

"Those Lower Immortals who sent out inheritances containing the Constitution naturally also knew that what truly determines their realm is the completeness of the Constitution, not the quantity."

"So, for me, those extra Constitutions, I don't need them."

"What I need... is to walk this Constitution of Time and Space of mine further, making it more complete!"

Xu Qing raised his head and looked into the distance. What his eyes reached was the endless crimson aurora.

"The Constitution of Time and Space is based on the Five Elements, with Time and Space as the platform, and it is formed by leaping from this foundation. The foundation can be said to be deep."

"And throughout the ages, it is impossible that only I realized the Time and Space Constitution. Actually, the moment this Constitution was formed... I already had realization."

"On the road ahead of me, there are other fellow travelers, but the number is extremely small, and... none of them have reached the end."

"Some stopped, some changed paths."

"This road, now has no source."

Xu Qing pondered while moving forward.

He had a premonition that when he realized the Time and Space Constitution one level deeper, regardless of whether he could form the ninth extreme, it would definitely make his cultivation base break through the current level under the influence of this Constitution.

Forming my ninth realm, and then reaching the Sovereign realm!

"Then, what is a deeper level..."

Xu Qing pondered.

Walking between heaven and earth, walking in time and space, sometimes falling into the past to look for clues, sometimes extending his soul into the future to pursue answers.

Seven days later, his footsteps paused, and time and space also turned into ripples.

Looked up at the front.

There were mountains in front, seventeen peaks in the mountains, each with a pool.

The pool water was clear, round like a full moon, with a stone platform pavilion beside it.

The pavilion had eight corners, and the table inside seemed to be engraved with geographical totems.

This was... where the Earth Rules were located, named the Seventeen Pools of Earth Rules.

There were many strange flowers and grasses by the pool, spitting out the energy of immortal spirits. After years of accumulation, they were already spiritually rich.

Occasionally manifesting all living beings, interpreting the various states of life here.

Becoming a strange phenomenon.

For countless years, if mortals accidentally entered this place, they would often have a dream, waking up confused.

Therefore, this place had no harmful actions.

So it has been preserved to this day, and cultivators often come here to seek the Dao.

Gazing at these, Xu Qing thought of the description of this Earth Rule Pool in the ancient scrolls recorded by Yunmen Qianfan.

Besides those before, there was also a legend about the stone platform totems.

Legend has it that this was left by a great power who had traveled all over the Fifth Star Ring, depicting the geography of the Fifth Star Ring.

So this place had the name of Earth Rules.

It's just that under the passage of time, people gradually couldn't see the totems clearly, only seeing blurry graffiti, difficult to see the true meaning.

Because its true meaning was absorbed by the pool water all year round and had already melted into the pool water.

Thus, whenever the two aurora vortex days alternated, if someone gazed at the pool water, they could reflect the desires and obsessions in their hearts, making people understand their own inner world.

This point was also one of the reasons why many cultivators practiced here.

Hoping to purify the soul and achieve the sublimation of the soul.

Thoughts spread, Xu Qing took a step.

Walked onto a peak, and also walked toward the prosperity of all living beings manifested by the pool on this peak.

There, like a world, birth, old age, sickness, and death, joys and sorrows.

The moment he approached, the living beings transformed by grass and trees stood still, and then knelt down toward Xu Qing one after another.

"Indeed, it is spiritually rich."

Xu Qing nodded, walked to the stone platform, and looked at the geographical totems above.

After a while, he shook his head slightly.

"Not my Dao."

Afterwards, he continued, by the pool, looking at the Dao shadow in the water.

Looking at the first glance, it was blurry.

Looking at the second glance, his body was reflected.

Extremely clear.

Xu Qing was silent, a long time... still shook his head, and didn't look at the third glance.

The Dao contained here was indeed there, but unfortunately... it was not what he was looking for.

Thus Xu Qing took a step, walked to the second peak, looked at all seventeen peaks, all had no results, and then left, continuing to head south.

A month later, arrived at the Cloud Mud Basin.

This basin was located south of the Earth Rule Pool, surrounded by mountains, among the towering mountains.

There were many clouds and mists inside, like smoke and weaving.

Inside was filled with mud, as delicate as fat, suitable for planting.

And grew a strange flower called "Cloud Mud Lotus".

The petals were like clouds, with endless strange fragrance.

In the records of Yunmen Qianfan, it is said that this kind of lotus flower can purify people's souls, make people's hearts pure, and understand the Dao of heaven and earth.

Therefore, there are often immortal cranes guarding the Dao here, dancing gracefully in their leisure time, attracting hundreds of birds to compete for chirping.

A scene of fairyland.

Xu Qing arrived, walked into the cloud mud, gently stroked the immortal crane, and among the hundreds of birds, picked a petal of the Cloud Mud Lotus.

When it fell into his hand, this petal was illusory and ethereal, indeed like clouds and mist.

It also indeed possessed some power to purify the soul, but for Xu Qing, his heart was firm and his Dao was solid, not needing purification.

Even if there was obsession, it was not something this flower could resolve.

So he only stayed for three days before walking onto the firmament.

Further south, a distance that mortals could not reach in a hundred lifetimes, and a journey that a Sovereign would need more than a month.

Named the Plain of Immortal Fall.

The plain was vast, with green grass like a carpet.

Rainbows spanned the sky, clouds were ethereal, like a dream and illusion.

Attracting Xu Qing's gaze.

This scene was almost invisible in other places of the Fifth Star Ring, and the aurora looked at was all crimson.

Only here, seven colors lingered.

Therefore, in the records of Yunmen Qianfan, a legend about the aurora was picked.

Legend has it that this place is the source of the aurora.

Gazing at the plain, looking at the seven colors from afar, Xu Qing was thoughtful.

He thought of the Aurora Immortal Lord mentioned by Li Mengtu.

This Immortal Lord was once the head of all Immortal Lords. Because he betrayed the Dao, he was suppressed and killed by the Immortal Venerable, taking his Constitution to form the aurora, and his spirit fell to this place.

So the plain was named Immortal Fall.

And the plain was not just grass and trees, but countless meteorites could be seen scattered.

Large ones like mountains, small ones like beans, all shining brightly, with thousands of auspicious signs.

The aura was ancient.

They did not come from outside the heavens, and they also contained legends.

Legend has it that these meteorites were the little bit left over when filling the starry sky of the Fifth Star Ring.

Containing mysterious power.

Looking at these, Xu Qing's eyes slowly revealed ghostly light.

His physical body had no too much response to this place, but the spreading of his thinking perceived the difference.

"This place, contains resentment..."

"This thought, ripples spiritual energy, making it a formless sea."

Xu Qing muttered.

Continued to move forward, walking on the plain, walking beside one meteorite after another.

Also raised his hand to touch

But what was touched was empty!

What was thought of was also empty!

Looking at it through time and space, it was unexpectedly empty as well!

This scene caused Xu Qing's footsteps to come to an abrupt halt.

"So it really is the place where the Immortal Lord fell..."

"Perhaps the Dao I need is here."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and continued forward.

Along the way, he perceived all directions, sensing the blowing of the wind and the tranquility of this place.

His heart also immersed itself within, becoming ethereal.

Until a long time later, as he was about to approach the central area of the Immortal Fall Plain, a resistance suddenly arrived, landing on Xu Qing's body and becoming an obstruction that made it impossible for him to move forward.

It landed in his soul, becoming a booming bell that echoed through time and space.

This shattered his ethereal state and awakened his thoughts.

He looked up and saw a massive stone stele in the distance.

Ancient runes were carved upon it.

Its origin was unknown.

But one could feel its vastness.

After a long while, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze.

"This place is not within time and space."

Xu Qing calmed his mind, sat cross-legged outside this barrier, and closed his eyes.

He attempted to explore.

Just like that, the wind blew across the heavens and earth, and the aurora flowed.

Several months later, some people arrived on the Immortal Fall Plain.

They came from different directions, and their destination was the stone stele at the center of the plain.

And unlike Xu Qing, the obstacles they encountered appeared much earlier.

Thus, they circled the stone stele and sat cross-legged at different distances.

During this time, they also noticed Xu Qing.

At a single glance, their expressions all changed, and a strong sense of palpitations arose.

On one hand, it was because they saw the position Xu Qing was in; on the other hand, it came from a feeling in the dark.

Among these people, there was one whose inner turmoil was even more intense, to the point that his face turned pale and he wanted to choose to retreat...

But before his figure could translate his thoughts into action, Xu Qing opened his eyes and looked over calmly.

"Come."

This glance caused that person's mind to roar and his breathing to become rapid, as if the sky were collapsing.

At the same time, it formed a path, cutting through the obstruction between Xu Qing and the person he was looking at.

Thus, the word that came out of his mouth became heaven's will, became a binding order.

It made that person dare not retreat.

He could only walk toward Xu Qing step by step with great difficulty, barely reaching the front, and bowed respectfully.

"Long time no see, Earth Spirit Ancestor."

Xu Qing spoke slowly.

This person who walked over was precisely the Earth Spirit lineage ancestor who had appeared in the Time Desert and agreed to share the secret key when Xu Qing was on the road to send off Yunmen Qianfan.

Earth Spirit Ancestor gave a bitter smile.

It had indeed been a long time, but he never imagined that upon meeting again, the other party would already possess a Law.

That glance made him feel as if he were treading on thin ice, his life and death no longer under his control.

And recalling it now, when he saw the other party in the Time Desert back then, there seemed to have been some signs.

How could someone capable of controlling time storms be an ordinary person?

The statue transformed from the heaven's pride of his own clan still stood outside the desert to this day.

It was not an injustice.

"If you, fellow Daoist, are unhappy with this, I can give up the secret key."

Earth Spirit took a deep breath, spoke frankly, and after finishing, raised his hand to take out a jade bottle.

Inside was a drop of fresh blood.

That was the blood of the Yunmen Ancestor, containing the secret key.

Placing this jade bottle in front of Xu Qing, Earth Spirit lowered his head, waiting for an answer.

After a long while, Xu Qing spoke calmly.

"What is the origin of that stone stele?"

Upon hearing this, Earth Spirit raised his head to look at the vast stone stele in the distance, dared not hide anything from Xu Qing, and spoke in a low voice.

"This is the place where the Aurora Immortal Lord fell, and also where his Xiangong collapsed back then."

"That stone stele... is the gate-guarding stone of the Aurora Xiangong!"
