Indeed not far.

The moment Star Ring Son was beheaded in the fifth-layer world of the Xiangong, at the entrance of the Xiangong, directly in front of the Welcoming Immortal Platform...

A blurred figure appeared there.

This place was one of the three paths into the Xiangong; Xu Qing had once seen from afar that there was a bridge in the mist.

At this moment, the mist churned, and after the figure appeared, he retreated suddenly, appearing on the Welcoming Immortal Platform in a fleeting moment.

The moment he stepped on the bluestone, this figure stumbled and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

His chest heaved, his breathing was rapid, and his expression carried a sense of surviving a disaster.

It was none other than Star Ring Son.

It was just that now, his aura was intermittent, his body exuded a sense of weakness, and one could even see half of his body in the intersection of illusion and reality.

"Xu Qing..."

Star Ring Son's expression was gloomy; he flickered his body and galloped toward the exit of the Xiangong.

The next instant, he had left the Xiangong.

The moment he flew out, he saw several people sitting cross-legged there outside the Immortal Fall Land.

Sweeping hurriedly, Li Mengtu was inside, and so was Zhou Zhengli.

Almost at the same time his gaze fell, the cultivators sitting cross-legged here also sensed it, especially Li Mengtu and Zhou Zhengli, who both looked up instantly, their gazes falling on Star Ring Son.

Li Mengtu's eyes froze.

Zhou Zhengli was thoughtful.

As for Star Ring Son, he did not stop here, stepped toward the nothingness, stepped onto the edge of the sky, and galloped away.

All the way, his speed unfolded to the extreme.

Until he reached the edge of the Immortal Fall Land, he turned his head and gazed at the direction of the Xiangong.

As for his half-body that was in illusion and reality, it also slowly faded its illusion in his breathing and became completely real.

This was his life-saving technique, and also a secret method of the Star Ring Tower.

Through the path of sacrifice, shape one's own Star Tower, and then use the tower to replace one's life.

In this way, one could resolve life-and-death crises.

And his Star Ring Tower had shaped seven statues over the years.

"I didn't expect that I would consume one here..."

Thinking of the scene in the fifth-layer world before, Star Ring Son felt dread in his heart; he had to admit one thing: the other party's understanding of the Constitution... exceeded his own by quite a bit.

"Whether it is killing or hiding, his Constitution can be called terrifying!"

"So wanting to suppress him requires my Constitution to be raised to the point where I can destroy all the time and space he masters; otherwise... wanting to kill him is extremely difficult."

"Unless..."

A dark light flashed in Star Ring Son's eyes.

"I have a way to find his hidden true body under my Heavenly Principle floating dust!"

"This person's biggest weakness... is his true body!"

"His cultivation base is Sovereign, and his Immortal Embryo is still in the process of being formed, so as long as there is a way to find his true body hidden in other time and space..."

"Then, it is not that there is no chance to behead him!"

Star Ring Son was silent, and finally shook his head.

Theory was theory after all.

Wanting to complete it... Star Ring Son understood that the current him could not do it.

So he took a deep breath and disappeared in a flash.

He was not sure if the other party would continue to hunt him down, but the sense of crisis in his heart always existed.

So he understood that he had to leave this Western Star Domain as soon as possible and strive to return to the East quickly.

Only when he reached the East would the crisis be lifted.

At the same time, inside the fifth-layer world of the Xiangong, Xu Qing looked at the wisp of aura in his palm, squeezed it, and collected it into time and space, then looked up and swept his gaze over those Quasi-Immortal Great Emperors in all directions.

Without any words, he flickered his body and walked forward one step.

His figure suddenly blurred.

But the next instant, his figure became clear from the blur.

"The sixth layer, indeed, cannot be gone up to."

This step, he was trying to see if he could enter the sixth-layer world.

Although he knew that the sixth layer of this Xiangong was a place that only those with Lower Immortal combat power could go to, since he had already walked to the fifth layer, he naturally wanted to try it.

After verifying this, Xu Qing walked one step again; this time... he did not insist on going to the sixth layer, but returned.

In an instant, his figure dissipated.

When he appeared, he was already on the Welcoming Immortal Platform at the entrance of the Xiangong.

"This opportunity of the Xiangong, for me, has ended."

Standing on the Welcoming Immortal Platform, Xu Qing looked up at the Xiangong.

His mind surfaced with the experiences of this time, scene after scene, like the churning of a long river of time, rolling up the gravel at the bottom of the river, flowing in his eyes.

In a trance, Xu Qing seemed to see a young man in white.

He stood at the other end of the long river of time, holding a marriage contract, and beside him was a young girl wearing a wedding dress; the two looked at him, smiled slightly at him, and then bowed together.

In that smile, it contained an unspeakable past.

Perhaps it was youth, perhaps it was suffering, perhaps there was beauty, perhaps there was stinging pain.

And the spray of the flowing water rippled the scene.

Xu Qing turned his head and saw himself standing at this end of the long river of time.

And then, he smiled lightly and bowed back to the other end of the long river of time.

The wind and rain of yesterday, the echo of today.

The flowing water dissipated, and the stirred-up gravel became starlight, gradually dissipating as well.

Xu Qing straightened his body, walked down the Welcoming Immortal Platform, and in one step... walked to the exit of the Xiangong.

The moment he stood on the Immortal Fall Land, above the firmament, the long-lost crimson aurora fell on him; all the scenery in front of him, in that aurora, was as dim and red as ever.

It was just that it was already different from the past.

This light, here with him, became gentle.

It contained fatherly love.

Xu Qing closed his eyes, feeling silently; after a long while, when he opened his eyes, he saw everyone outside the Xiangong.

Earth Spirit Ancestor, Li Mengtu, Zhou Zhengli, and some cultivators he did not know.

These people were all returnees from the Xiangong; the vast majority of them did not leave because they chose to wait here for the moment the tide receded after the Xiangong ended completely, to use this to cultivate and comprehend.

After all, for them, this trip was only in the third-layer world; although there were gains, they were not many.

But clearly, those with this plan did not include Li Mengtu and Zhou Zhengli.

The former was looking at Xu Qing at this moment, his expression somewhat complex, opening his mouth as if wanting to say something.

It seemed that everything in the fourth-layer world had a deep impact on him, making him always feel that he was still Zhong Chi when looking at Xu Qing...

As for Zhou Zhengli beside him, he was clearly much more composed than Li Mengtu, and he would not consider the mirror history of the present world and the fourth-layer world.

For him, seizing the opportunity, continuing the previous fate, and making this fate not end in the mirror, but exist in the future, was the key point.

Especially after seeing Star Ring Son, who was clearly not lightly injured, leave rapidly before, this thought became even firmer in his heart.

So at this moment, the moment he looked at Xu Qing, Zhou Zhengli walked a few steps quickly.

After arriving in front of Xu Qing, his posture was exactly the same as in the fourth-layer world, incomparably respectful, bowing deeply.

"Young Master."

"Congratulations to the Young Master for breaking through your cultivation base, climbing the realm, and leaping to become the First Star of the Fifth Star Ring!"

Xu Qing looked at Zhou Zhengli.

"This is no longer mirror history."

Zhou Zhengli shook his head.

"What convinced Zhou is not the Aurora Young Master."

Hearing this, Xu Qing had a deep meaning in his gaze toward Zhou Zhengli, while the Earth Spirit Ancestor at the side also arrived quickly at this moment, bowing deeply to Xu Qing and speaking excitedly.

"The Senior has returned, and the Junior's hanging heart can finally be put down; having received the Senior's life-saving grace before, the Junior has always been worried about the Senior's safety in the fourth-layer world."

"During these days, I have been worried and anxious, only hating that my cultivation base is insufficient to go to the fourth-layer world to help the Senior and serve the Senior."

"Until yesterday, the Junior suddenly had an enlightenment, and only then did I feel relieved in my heart."

"The Junior's enlightenment is that the Senior is a genius, has great foresight, is thoughtful, and calculates everything; even if the fourth-layer world had huge waves, it must have been within the Senior's expectations."

"The Junior only needs to wait outside, because the final outcome must be great luck and everything going as wished!"

"Finally, thank you Senior for your life-saving grace in the Xiangong, congratulations to the Senior for the success of this trip to the Xiangong, and wish the Senior's star path to shine in heaven and earth in the future!"

Earth Spirit Ancestor spoke loudly.

Causing Zhou Zhengli at the side to look sideways for the first time.

It also made the shadow under Xu Qing's feet sway.

Even the firmament seemed to have ripples because of the Earth Spirit Ancestor's words.

For a time, the crimson aurora shone even more, and bursts of thunder that seemed to come from outside the sky roared continuously, even affecting not only the sky here...

The firmament of the entire West was roaring.

Even the East, South, and North were the same.

The sky of the Fifth Star Ring, as if lifted by an invisible hand, revealed the starry sky and revealed the stars.

Those stars had different lights, some brilliant, some dim.

And they corresponded one by one to the specific cultivators of the Fifth Star Ring!

That was... the reflection of the Quasi-Immortal Capital Order!

This scene suddenly made everyone outside the Immortal Fall Land change their expressions, looking up one after another.

Not only them, at this moment, the vast majority of cultivators in the entire Fifth Star Ring were no exception.

Because...

"The Immortal Capital Trial, the third stage, and also the final stage, has opened!"

Zhou Zhengli spoke in a low voice with a strange light in his eyes.

This stage is slaughter and elimination!

Its arrival represents the final choice!

Subsequently, the light of the tokens on all cultivators possessing the Quasi-Immortal Capital Order shone.

Xu Qing was no exception; the light was dazzling, and while echoing with the stars, the sound of slaughter drums rose within heaven and earth.

Boom, boom, echoing, like thunder cracking.

The cultivators who were originally cultivating outside the Immortal Fall Land also changed their expressions one after another, stood up immediately, and left in all directions.

Zhou Zhengli took a deep breath and bowed to Xu Qing again.

"Young Master, entering the Immortal Capital is already a certainty for you; I still need to work hard, striving to be able to... see you in the Immortal Capital after the trial ends!"

"And next, everyone possessing the Immortal Capital token will focus on this trial."

After speaking, Zhou Zhengli flickered his body and rushed toward the starry sky.

Seeing Zhou Zhengli leave, and everyone around also leaving, Li Mengtu stepped forward slowly.

"That... Thousand Armies, those two swords ran faster than anyone after coming out before... but I can feel that the aura on them is not much different from the fourth-layer world, I predict that the recognition of master can affect the present world."

"The Constitution on me also has differences."

"As for the Evil Spirit Son, I didn't see him; I think he was the first to come out, so he left early."

"And Yuanshan Su, I saw her leave rapidly with a complex expression."

"I... I also need to go experience and improve my ranking of the Quasi-Immortal Capital Order, Young... you, do you want to go with me?"

Li Mengtu spoke with some awkwardness.

Hearing this, Xu Qing smiled, then shook his head, lifted his right hand, and the aura of Star Ring Son in his palm flowed within.

Li Mengtu's gaze froze.

"Are you going to..."

"There is something of mine on Star Ring Son, I am going to take it back."

Xu Qing spoke calmly and walked toward the edge of the sky in one step.
