Chapter 1138: Useless Things

The Immortal Capital trial is divided into three links.

The first link is for the Immortal Capital to take out ten thousand tokens for the billions of cultivators in the four major star domains to compete for.

This link is very cruel, and the tokens change hands the most.

But at least for cultivators, there is a choice; they can choose not to compete, they can choose not to participate.

Until, entering the second link, the four major Immortal Lords give inheritance, and all sentient beings can comprehend, using this to blow the horn of accelerating the trial.

In this link, cultivators with advantages will be magnified, and those without advantages will naturally be reduced.

At the same time, the slaughter behavior in this link, while obtaining tokens, can also obtain the other party's inheritance, making oneself stronger and stronger.

This kind of incentive makes the level of the trial more intense.

Finally, it is the current third link.

This link is the final elimination and choice.

Mainly based on hunting and plunder.

And after experiencing this third link, the current Fifth Star Ring, the number of cultivators possessing the Quasi-Immortal Capital Order, which was ten thousand in total, is decreasing as they slaughter each other.

Unless one possesses a complete Constitution, they cannot separate the tokens.

Otherwise, they cannot take out the tokens integrated into the body; losing the token means losing life.

This is an inevitability.

Every time the Immortal Capital trial opens, from the moment one decides to walk this trial path, it is destined not to return.

Either succeed in walking into the Immortal Capital, or... only be destroyed in body and soul, becoming nourishment.

Of course, if there is extremely good luck, one can still survive, but such a survival is already far from the original intention of the trial.

Thus, right now, in the Southern Star Domain, the number of Quasi-Immortal Capital Order cultivators is decreasing day by day, and now there are less than five hundred left.

At this moment, among these less than five hundred Quasi-Immortal Capital Order cultivators in the Southern Star Domain, more than half have ripples in their hearts, sensing something, and one after another integrate their consciousness into their own tokens to check the star map.

On the star map of the Southern Quasi-Immortal Capital Order, one can clearly see that the star representing Jiang Fan, which was originally dazzling and eye-catching, instantly dimmed.

Absorbed by another star.

Thus, in the entire Southern Star Domain, a vast star appeared that exceeded all others in brightness!

The only ones that could barely compare were the one at the Yuanshan family.

Besides that, no other star could compete with it.

In an instant, this scene set off a huge wave in the hearts of those Quasi-Immortal Capital Order cultivators.

"Jiang Fan lost?"

"As our Southern First Star, who could make him lose?"

"It's not Yuanshan Su, could it be that a star from the other three domains has arrived?"

Uproar rose in the hearts of those Quasi-Immortal Capital Order cultivators, and the star they were paying attention to was rushing straight toward... the Yuanshan family!

This scene immediately shocked the entire Yuanshan family.

As the Southern First Family, the Yuanshan family is not short of strong people, but the rules of the Immortal Capital trial, they do not yet have the qualification to challenge, so in this anxiety, Yuanshan Su walked out of the family.

She, in a white long dress, stood on the Heavenly Lingshan outside the family, gazing into the distance.

Around her were family cultivators, one by one with solemn expressions.

If at first she wasn't sure who the third star appearing in the South was, then when she noticed that the other party only went to the Great Immortal Mountain and absorbed the star representing Jiang Fan...

She had already guessed the other party's identity.

"The only ones who can do this are two... one is Star Ring Zi, the other is that person."

"Star Ring Zi, news came from the East, his star has fallen."

"Then this one, it must be that person." 【11

Yuanshan Su's expression was somewhat complex. After leaving the fourth-layer world, she was one of the first few to walk out of the Xiangong. In the time since her return, whenever she thought of the trip to the Xiangong, the figure that appeared most in her mind was that of one person.

Although she had achieved her goal and gained many benefits, and her own cultivation base had grown accordingly.

Yet that person's figure was like a great mountain, placing immense pressure on her.

At the same time, her complexity was also just as great.

After all, she and that person had once performed the wedding ceremony.

Although it was only a matter of each taking what they needed within the historical mirror image, the ripples still existed in the present world.

As Yuanshan Su's thoughts rose and fell in her heart, thunder suddenly erupted in the distant firmament. A great wind howled between heaven and earth, emitting a wailing sound. Amidst this surging of clouds, a person walked from the horizon.

Dressed in black, with black hair, he walked across the firmament as if walking through time, stirring up ripples of time.

It was Xu Qing.

The moment he appeared, the expressions of the Yuanshan Clan cultivators all around changed. Several Quasi-Immortal Ancestors of the Yuanshan Clan each released their aura, causing the eight directions to distort, as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, Xu Qing turned a deaf ear to the pressure coming from them.

He did not pay them any mind, his expression remaining as usual as he walked forward in the firmament.

Step by step, he walked past those Yuanshan Clan cultivators, ignoring the gazes of the several Yuanshan Ancestors, and arrived at Heavenly Lingshan, standing before Yuanshan Su, and raised his hand.

"Hand it over."

Xu Qing spoke indifferently.

These simple two words contained an intent that brooked no refusal.

Yuanshan Su was silent. The auras of the several Ancestors of her clan all around were distinct, and as coldness filled their eyes, a soft sigh escaped Yuanshan Su's lips.

Amidst this sigh, she raised her right hand, and under the gasps of the surrounding clan cultivators, she placed a palm on the center of her own brow.

With a bang.

The Quasi-Immortal Capital Token belonging to her was forcibly stripped from her body.

Following a wave of her hand, her Quasi-Immortal Capital Token, carrying a dazzling light, flew straight toward Xu Qing.

Finally, it landed on Xu Qing's palm.

Xu Qing did not look at the token in his hand, but instead gazed at Yuanshan Su with deep meaning, speaking calmly.

"Is there a third way to enter the Immortal Capital?"

The decisiveness with which Yuanshan Su gave up the token made Xu Qing feel that there might be a third way to enter the Immortal Capital, hence this question.

"During the trial process, ascending to become a Quasi-Immortal is a special method belonging to the eight stars of the Fifth Star Ring."

Yuanshan Su took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Hearing this, Xu Qing nodded.

He naturally saw the aura on Yuanshan Su; she was only a sliver away from stepping into the Quasi-Immortal realm.

It seemed the other party had gained quite a lot in the Xiangong.

But this had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, he clenched his palm, and as the token in his palm disappeared, the firmament churned, and a brilliant light erupted from his body, rushing into the sky.

The next instant, the firmament rumbled, and the southern star map appeared once again in the sky.

On the star map, the star representing Xu Qing had a richness of light that was unique!

The South, Number One!

There was even a sense from the void, radiating from the Quasi-Immortal Capital Token, which allowed Xu Qing to sense his ranking in the entire Fifth Star Ring.

Fifth!

Xu Qing did not care who the four in front were.

Because as long as he followed his plan, no one could compete with him for first place.

"Then, see you in the Immortal Capital."

Xu Qing glanced at Yuanshan Su, turned, and walked toward the horizon, gradually moving away under the helplessness of the Yuanshan Clan's crowd of cultivators.

Until a long while later, the figures of the several Ancestors of the Yuanshan Clan descended and stood beside Yuanshan Su.

"Su'er has disappointed the Ancestors. Facing this person, I didn't even attempt to make a move."

Yuanshan Su lowered her head and spoke softly.

The several Ancestors were silent. After a few breaths, one of them sighed.

"This person... let alone you, even if it were us, if we were to fight him, we would have no certainty of victory."

"How does he compare to that Star Ring Child?"

Yuanshan Su shook her head.

"The Star Ring Child has fallen. Although it is not certain if he is completely dead, I think his fall must be the work of this person."

The several Ancestors of the Yuanshan Clan each sighed.

"Living in the same era as such a person is difficult..."

Hearing this, Yuanshan Su smiled.

"Only then is it interesting."

Fifth Star Ring, Northern Star Domain, Sword Immortal Sect!

Unlike the rolling Great Immortal Mountains of the Southern Star Domain, and unlike the vastness of the Star Ring Tower in the Eastern Star Domain, this orthodox sect located in the North was built on a massive meteorite.

All around it were storms formed by sword Qi, and the sound of swords continued, spreading through the nine heavens.

And that meteorite within the storm was itself astonishingly huge, like a great mountain; even standing at the base of the mountain and looking up, it towered into the clouds, with no end in sight.

Regarding this stone, there were many legends.

Some said it was not an object of the Fifth Star Ring, but flew in from an outer star ring and was obtained by the Blue Mallard Sword Immortal of the Sword Immortal Sect, who used it for enlightenment, thus establishing the sect upon it.

Others said it was a piece of Star-Filling Stone left over when the starry sky of the Fifth Star Ring was leveled back then.

There were many theories, and the source was unknown.

And the Sword Immortal Sect was indeed built on this huge meteorite.

At this moment, on the surface of this huge meteorite, in the central square of the Sword Immortal Sect, Qianjun and Pi Yi were carefully setting up various restrictions there.

While setting them up, the two were also communicating via divine sense.

"The Star Ring Child was killed by him!"

"Jiang Fan's token was snatched!"

"That little girl from Yuanshan has the least backbone; she didn't even dare to make a move!"

"Now that guy is on his way to the North..."

"I feel that he is coming here not just for our Quasi-Immortal Capital tokens..."

"That's right, I think that guy is coming to subjugate us!"

"Acknowledging a master in the fourth-layer world is the greatest humiliation of our lives!"

"Never give up!"

"Never give up!"

"According to our plan, as long as he comes, we'll show him!"

Qianjun and Pi Yi gritted their teeth, rapidly casting various restrictions into the central square.

Until after setting them up for several days, they finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and sat down cross-legged.

"Just waiting for him to come!"

And at this moment, above the two, in the firmament of the Sword Immortal Sect, within that endless sword Qi storm, lay a person.

This person wore blue robes, had gray hair, and a blue ancient sword danced beside him.

The sword was named Blue Mallard, so the world called him the Blue Mallard Sword Immortal.

He lay on the sword Qi, drinking wine while watching his two disciples tinkering down there.

After a long while, he sighed.

"My eyes were blind back then; how did I take in these two useless things."

"Two against one and they still can't win, and they have to set up restrictions here; are they planning a sneak attack?"
