Chapter 1137
The God Spirit Blood River, waves churning, raised the bloody aura, and was sent by the wind to the bank of the Southern Star Domain.
It merged with the aurora of the firmament in the dark, becoming a part of the blood color.
In this blood color, one could see an unmanned ferry boat gradually sailing into the depths of the long river that could not see the end, until it disappeared without a trace.
Xu Qing stood on the trestle bridge on the river bank, gazing at the departing ferry boat.
This gift presented by the Spirit Phoenix Immortal Maiden could not be taken away.
It could only stay on the God Spirit Blood River.
Here, waiting for Xu Qing's summons.
After a long while, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked down at the dust drifting beside him.
"Heavenly Principle..."
Xu Qing whispered softly.
This was exactly what he extracted from Star Ring Son after beheading him!
"It seems like a Constitution, like a law, yet not a Constitution, not a law, more like an imagined thing; it exists, yet it does not exist."
Gazing at that grain of dust, Xu Qing was thoughtful.
He did not integrate this thing into his body, but intended to use it as an external treasure; during this time on the blood river, he had also studied it.
As for Star Ring Son...
In the special environment of the God Spirit Blood River, every time he revived, it could only be on the boat, and each time he was weaker than the last.
This made Xu Qing only need to sit there and wait.
Finally, after the seventh death, both body and soul were destroyed.
"Although I also obtained Star Ring Son's Quasi-Immortal Capital Order, his death still needs to be verified."
"After all, being able to really wait for him to come, this matter itself also has certain clues."
Thinking of this, a dark light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, then he lifted his hand and waved, collected the Heavenly Principle dust, and walked away from the trestle bridge.
Moving away from the blood river, walking against the wind between heaven and earth in the Southern Star Domain.
While galloping, Xu Qing also untied the concealment of his own Quasi-Immortal Capital Order; the next instant, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, turning into a crimson beam of light, rushing into the sky.
Falling into the aurora of the firmament, it formed a vortex visible to the naked eye.
While turning with a rumble, Xu Qing's aura was vast and astonishing, distorting the nothingness and blurring all directions.
This aura, part came from himself, and the other part came from the Quasi-Immortal Capital Order.
Erupting at this moment, it even stirred the star chart behind the Southern sky, making it reveal itself for an instant.
In that instant, one could see that on the star chart corresponding to the Quasi-Immortal Capital Order in the South, the stars were brilliant, and among them, there were three stars that were the most dazzling.
One came from Xu Qing, and the other two... were the two major stars of the South!
One was Jiang Fan, and one was Yuanshan Su!
"Star Ring Son's Quasi-Immortal Capital Order did not contain many imprints, so after beheading him, my ranking only entered the top one hundred."
"Now in the entire Fifth Star Ring, it is seventy-third."
For his ranking after absorbing Star Ring Son's Quasi-Immortal Capital Order, Xu Qing was a bit surprised at first, but soon had some guesses.
It seemed that Star Ring Son's energy and focus before were mostly placed on cultivation, so he did not collect other people's tokens too early.
He should have intended to do it after successfully stepping into Quasi-Immortal in the Aurora Xiangong.
Xu Qing looked up at the sky.
"Unlike these two, their choices were different from Star Ring Son's; they had already harvested enough imprints before the third stage, and now under the third stage, it is even more so."
"And for cultivators of the Fifth Star Ring, there are two methods to enter the Immortal Capital."
"One is to at least enter the top one hundred ranking in this Immortal Capital trial; in this way, there is a high probability of ensuring promotion."
"As for the second method, it is set for those cultivators who did not participate in the trial; what they need to do is harder: they must become a Quasi-Immortal, and within five hundred years of becoming a Quasi-Immortal... become a Lower Immortal!"
"This second method has nothing to do with me."
"For me, there is only this first method..."
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes.
"This first method, although the top one hundred ranking has a high probability of promotion, the difference in ranking will affect the resources obtained after entering the Immortal Capital!"
Xu Qing knew very well that the focus of his cultivation next would no longer be the improvement of the Constitution, but the plunder of Star Ring source quality!
"Sufficient source quality can make my Immortal Embryo reach great success quickly, and after great success, if I want to make the Immortal Embryo perfect, I also need source quality!"
"So, my goal... is first!"
"Enter the Immortal Capital with the identity of first!"
Xu Qing's thoughts in his heart, following the decision, his aura also churned between heaven and earth; after a long while, he gazed into the distance.
What he looked at was the direction of the Great Immortal Mountain.
Among the two major stars of the South, Jiang Fan... was right there!
"Eliminate all the stars one by one and plunder their tokens, then I will naturally be first; this is the simplest path."
"Then, Li Heaven's Pride..."
A sharp light appeared in Xu Qing's eyes, and he whistled toward the place where the Great Immortal Mountain was located.
Ten days later, Xu Qing's figure appeared in the core area of the Southern Star Domain.
Looking from afar, one could see a vast mountain range that seemed boundless, entering Xu Qing's eyes.
Inside, mountains rose one after another, peaks stood like a forest, and the number was probably no less than hundreds of thousands.
White mist permeated all year round, vaguely seeing immortal figures, and occasionally when the wind whistled and the mist was slightly thin, one could see luxurious and beautiful palaces with carved railings and jade masonry appearing and disappearing.
Giving people a feeling like a fairyland.
As for the immortal spiritual aura, it even exceeded other areas of the South, belonging to the head of the entire Fifth Star Ring South.
This place was the orthodoxy of the Southern Star Domain, the Great Immortal Mountain!
It was also Jiang Fan's sect!
Gazing at the mountain range, Xu Qing did not break in; he knew that although his combat power was fierce among his peers and could fight a Quasi-Immortal, but... inside this Great Immortal Mountain, there were many Quasi-Immortal auras.
There was even a wisp of aura that made him feel incomparably terrifying permeating.
That was the might of a Lower Immortal.
"However, according to the rules of the Immortal Capital trial, Quasi-Immortal Great Emperors who are not trial participants cannot interfere, and Lower Immortals are the same, so this battle... is just fair and square."
Xu Qing whispered in his heart, then stood between heaven and earth, his own momentum rising to the sky, and the aura of the Quasi-Immortal Capital Order erupted fully, finally merging and intertwining into a shocking fighting intent.
Toward the Great Immortal Mountain, it suddenly covered it, like a battle letter!
The voice came out coldly from his mouth.
"Jiang Fan, fight or not!"
The voice echoed, churning with the fighting intent, roaring in all directions.
In an instant, divine senses in the Great Immortal Mountain all rose, locking onto Xu Qing while also having a sense of scrutiny contained within.
Among these divine senses, there was no lack of Quasi-Immortals.
But none of them stopped him.
Xu Qing's battle letter was delivered fair and square; under the witness of countless people, the rules of the Immortal Capital trial could not be shaken.
This was a trial battle, a struggle for the Immortal Capital!
Xu Qing's expression remained as usual, letting those divine senses scan over, standing on the firmament, waiting for Jiang Fan's reply.
And at this moment, inside the Great Immortal Mountain, in a palace, Jiang Fan sat cross-legged, silent.
He felt the aura outside, heard Xu Qing's voice, and even perceived Xu Qing's battle letter.
Inside the sect, no one came to urge him to fight, and he could also choose to shrink his head and not respond to the battle.
Because he knew that he was not Xu Qing's opponent.
But he still stood up, a sharp light appeared in his eyes, the aura on his body continued to rise, forming a vast momentum, step by step, the moment he walked out of the hall, he saw a person standing outside the hall.
Jiang Fan lowered his head and bowed.
"Master."
This person was middle-aged, with an extraordinary appearance, wearing a cloud-patterned robe, standing there, as if a heavenly mountain was standing tall.
He was none other than the one whose status and position in the Great Immortal Mountain were second only to the Immortal Lord... Lanyun!
He was also Jiang Fan's master.
"You are not his opponent."
Lanyun spoke faintly.
"With your current ranking, you can choose to stay in the sect; after the third stage ends, there will naturally be one Immortal Capital quota for you."
Hearing this, Jiang Fan was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
"Master, I can lose, but I cannot accept not even daring to fight."
"Entering the Immortal Capital, although it is incomparably important to me, but... relying on avoiding battle to enter is not what I want!"
After speaking, he bowed again, then stepped forward, walked onto the firmament, and walked out of the Great Immortal Mountain.
When he appeared, he was between heaven and earth, in front of... Xu Qing!
Looking at Xu Qing, Jiang Fan seemed to have returned to the fourth-layer world of the Xiangong, scene after scene, surfacing in his mind, then took a deep breath and waved his right hand.
Suddenly, the Quasi-Immortal Capital Order belonging to him, under the traction of his own Constitution, separated from himself and flew out suddenly, landing on the side.
"Win against me, this thing belongs to you!"
Once the words were spoken, the momentum on Jiang Fan's body rose to the sky, thick mist appeared out of thin air around him, churning continuously, sweeping continuously, and after covering all directions, with the momentum of sweeping heaven and earth, with the might of suppressing the universe, he rushed toward Xu Qing.
Jiang Fan's Constitution had clearly improved quite a bit compared to before entering the Xiangong; at this moment, the might of his mist could swallow everything and could cover all sentient beings.
In an instant, it covered Xu Qing inside, and even began to infiltrate his time and space.
Making the time and space where Xu Qing was also occupied by the mist.
It was just that... the next instant, when Jiang Fan was about to attack again, his steps paused involuntarily, and a sense of bitterness rose in his heart.
Because what he saw... in the sky, on the ground, in all directions, the entire world in his eyes, was actually all Xu Qing's time and space.
As if, it had become a kaleidoscope!
Among those countless time and space, only one was filled with his mist, while the Xu Qings existing in other time and space were all looking at him calmly.
Until, Xu Qing in one of the time and space walked out, stood behind Jiang Fan, lifted his right hand, and in a state where Jiang Fan could not block or resist, landed on his shoulder.
Just a light pat.
The next instant, Jiang Fan's body roared, and a sound of shattering came from under his feet; that was not the shattering of nothingness, nor was it the sound of the earth, that was... the breaking of time and space.
It did not continue, and there was no need to continue.
Xu Qing walked past Jiang Fan, whose body was stiff, picked up the Quasi-Immortal Capital Order, dissipated all time and space with a wave of his hand, and walked toward the distance.
He did not say a word.
Until he went far away.
Inside the Great Immortal Mountain, on the highest peak, in that silver-shining, sacred altar-like hall.
It was still singing and dancing.
The smoke from the sandalwood on the platform was still curling, and the octagonal palace lantern hanging in the center of the hall was as bright as ever.
The old man wearing a silver robe sitting in the upper seat smiled faintly.
"First comprehending time and space, then having parallel, with the Sovereign realm, forming the Constitution of a Great Emperor.
This child... is not a thing in a pond, no wonder he attracted the Immortal Venerable's attention."
Outside, Jiang Fan was silent.
He knew he was not Xu Qing's opponent, but the gap was so large that he could not even attempt to resist; this point made the bitterness in his heart reach the extreme.
After a long while, his master Lanyun's figure walked out from the ripples of nothingness beside him, stood beside Jiang Fan, looked at the direction Xu Qing left, and spoke calmly.
"Losing to him, you are not disgraced."
