Chapter 1322

That familiar voice echoed above the human imperial capital, like a thunderclap from eternity, exploding upon the human race!

It caused the human cultivators to be instantly shaken to their core.

At Xiang Xiang Ningyan's location, he was on the beacon tower, originally tense and anxious, with added oppression and strong inner pessimism, being rendered by this Eastern Wanggu calamity, while also feeling uneasy about those descending foreign cultivators.

But in this instant, upon hearing the words from above, he abruptly raised his head, his expression changing to the utmost in his life, his face and eyes revealing unprecedented shock.

He stared in disbelief, nearly dazed, at the blurred figure appearing ahead in the void, then lost his voice in a startled cry.

"Captain!"

At this moment, all beings in the human imperial capital roared.

Countless cultivators stood there dazed, their minds buzzing incessantly.

Anyone who knew Chen Erniu felt, in that instant, their hearts shattered like heavenly thunder, unable to believe it, their expressions rich beyond compare.

Indeed, compared to the previous calamity and tension, Chen Erniu's appearance was too abrupt.

It was also difficult to associate him with those twelve great emperors.

Completely unresponsive!

Seeing this, in midair, Chen Erniu's heart surged with pride, unable to express it, silently thinking that he had rushed out first just for this moment.

Thus, his eyebrows danced with color, he coughed once, hands behind his back in midair, about to continue speaking.

But just then, Zhou Zhengli's expression turned solemn, showing utmost respect, he swiftly stepped forward, clasped his fists toward the void, and bowed deeply.

He shouted aloud.

"Zhou Zhengli, respectfully welcoming the Sovereign!"

These four words he shouted with all his strength, matching the fervent light in his eyes, his whole person like the most devout believer.

His voice spread in all directions.

Li Mengtu also swiftly stepped out, similarly bowing deeply toward the void, his expression solemn.

"Li Mengtu, respectfully welcoming the Sovereign!"

Xie Lingzi, unwilling to be outdone, restrained the evil intent on his expression, making himself look much more normal, fierce fire rising in his eyes, his cultivation fully spreading.

Causing the surrounding void to ripple, as he bolstered himself, his voice echoed.

"Xie Lingzi, respectfully welcoming the Sovereign!"

Also, Yuan Shan Su, her expression calm, lowered her head in a bow.

Finally, Xing Huanzi.

He still had some arrogance in his heart, but after this journey and all the events with Xu Qing, though he appeared arrogant on the surface, his heart had already gained deep recognition.

So... thinking this was the other's homeland, he took a deep breath, bowed toward the void.

"Xing Huanzi, respectfully welcoming... the Sovereign."

The words of these few people were earth-shattering, shocking all beings.

And not only them, at this moment those who went out to suppress other holy lands preparing immortals, like the Blood Cloud Daoist and other heavenly pride, also in their respective locations, bowed toward the direction of the human imperial capital's void.

Their voices spread in all directions.

"Respectfully welcoming the Sovereign!"

At the same time, in two other directions, the immortal swords formed by the thousand armies parting, were trembling.

From within came the impassioned voices of these two brothers, as if they had prepared for a long time.

"Sovereign shakes ancient and shines present, first in the universe! Indeed, immortal posture and jade bones transcend the mundane, Dao laws communicate with the divine, shocking the world's soul!"

"Sovereign sweeps across heaven and earth, invincible in the present age! Indeed, eyes like stars reflecting heaven and earth, sword pointing to the void, determining wind and clouds!"

Even to display themselves, these two brothers' immortal swords, at this moment, burst with immortal light, transforming into five-colored auspiciousness, illuminating all directions.

Thus illuminating the heavenly canopy.

In an instant, Eastern Wanggu was completely shaken!

Indeed, the appearance before these twelve great emperors was already world-shocking and unconventional, and now being able to make them bow and welcome in this way, is naturally earth-shattering.

Thus, the myriad races of Eastern Wanggu and the holy land cultivators, in their surging minds, all in various ways, directed their divine sense and gaze along the place where the twelve great emperors bowed and worshipped!

In the next moment, they saw on the heavenly canopy, behind Chen Erniu, a figure slowly emerging!

As this figure approached, from blurred it became clear!

Until the moment of complete clarity...

Heaven and earth blazed bright, illuminating all.

All cultivators seen were not shocked.

And the aura emanating from this person's body, likewise, instantly overturned all!

All sensed spirits, none were not thunderous!

Among them, some knew Chen Erniu, some did not.

But... at this moment, from behind Chen Erniu emerged the figure bowed and welcomed by the twelve great emperors, earth-shattering!

Almost no one failed to recognize him!

It was as if, Chen Erniu's appearance was to attract and gather all gazes, thereby setting off this person!

Even the Empress, though a spirit, at this moment her mind and spirit were utterly tumultuous, with an expression even more unbelievable than before, gazing at the figure emerging from behind Chen Erniu!

She lost her voice in a startled cry.

"Xu Qing!"

At this moment, all directions shocked, myriad races roared!

On the void above, Seventh Grandfather laughed.

And within the imperial capital, on the beacon tower, Xiang Xiang Ningyan was completely dazed, his body uncontrollably trembling, Chen Erniu's appearance already having shaken his mind and spirit, now seeing that clear figure, his mind went entirely blank.

"This... this..."

Inside the human imperial capital, those former nobles were the same—each of them found it hard to believe what they saw before their eyes.

The imperial capital was like this, and Feng Haijun was likewise.

On the massive mirror formed by Yao Hou leading the union of Feng Haijun's power, the scenes unfolding in the imperial capital were clearly displayed, and as they watched the figure shift from blur to clarity...

Yao Hou froze.

His sister stood beside him, equally dazed.

And among the old acquaintances of the past, like Kong Xianglong, at this moment his breathing grew rapid.

In the crowd, there was also Wu Jianwu, who opened his mouth wanting to say something, but at this moment all poetry failed to express his inner feelings.

There was also Zhang San, Ding Xue, Zhao Zhongheng—all the old acquaintances from Feng Haijun now stood stunned there.

Even a sense of illusion arose.

"That is..."

"That person looks so familiar..."

"This... this..."

Beneath Feng Haijun, within the Phoenix Hall, there was also a soft cry, echoing in the quiet underground palace.

At the same time, an iron pin shot out violently, transforming into the likeness of the Golden Vajra Sect's patriarch, who rubbed his eyes hard, gasping repeatedly.

There was also the Seven Blood Pupil, Xiang Xiang Ningyan...

And... the Sacrificial Moon Vast Territory!

Mingnan Shizi and the others, each one dazed, Ling Er's eyes gleamed with strange light as she gazed upon the projection built by Shizi's grandfather, murmuring in her heart.

"Xu Qing brother..."

The myriad clans of Eastern Wanggu were now in an uproar, including many deities.

The sun god, moon god, and all the gods worshipped by the various clans, even hidden deities, at this instant all had their hearts and spirits violently shaken.

Thus all divine thoughts and gazes converged from every direction, gathering in the heavenly canopy, upon that figure who had not paused his steps, still walking forward step by step!

With each step this figure took, it bore the force of a thousand jun, shattering the void, heavenly thunder as backdrop, even the Heavenly Dao submitted.

As if a sovereign on procession!

That was the invincible aura forged through countless storms, looking down upon all beings.

Wherever he passed, whether spiritual energy or foreign substance, all had to bow, appearing spontaneously and yielding a path exclusive to him.

Advancing with unwavering poise.

As he approached, one could see his head of black hair like ink silk cascading down, casual yet carrying a unique charm, a few strands falling before his forehead, not only not appearing disordered but instead adding a touch of carefree allure.

It seemed he was the most dazzling existence in heaven and earth—one glance and one could not look away.

As for his eyes, they were like the deep, icy abyss of a cold pool, profound and freezing, yet as if holding myriad stars, radiant yet making one dare not stare directly.

Moreover, in the opening and closing of his eyes, sharp streams of light flashed across.

That light could pierce the heart—anyone swept by his gaze would involuntarily lower their head, heart filled with awe, daring not to defy in the slightest.

As if the fate of all things in the world lay solely in his single thought, freely controllable and decisive.

Around him, fierce winds swept, making his black robe flutter loudly, revealing undeniable majesty.

Especially the black robe's fabric, luxurious and subtly flowing with dark light, as if concealing endless mysterious power, as if even night willingly became his backdrop, merging all profundity and mystery into it, setting off his transcendent otherworldliness.

And the face matching this aura and presence... contours distinct, perfect beyond reproach.

Until, under the gaze of all, after he had taken several steps, upon the azure heavens, before Seventh Grandfather and that ancient immortal whose expression was extremely Heavy, this figure's footsteps paused.

This pause stirred the myriad clans, stirred all beings, causing mountains and rivers to lose color, making even time itself halt!

Everything became utterly silent!

It was as if, in this heaven and earth, his return was the only heaven!

Controlling all power over life and death, none could rival him.

He, precisely, was Xu Qing!

His gaze did not turn toward others, but fixed upon Seventh Grandfather ahead.

He bowed deeply, speaking softly.

"Master, I have returned."

"When I first became your disciple, the rites mentioned your protection of peace and safety; today, the disciple returns... to guard the master!"

He has returned!

These few words, this sentence, in an instant spread across heaven and earth, across all clans, across Eastern Wanggu.

It stirred countless excitement, and even more, countless voices from all major territories and clans rose up heaven-shaking at this moment.

These were sounds of exhilaration, words of excitement, light of hope!

"It is Xu Qing!"

"The Twelve Great Emperors pay homage to him!"

"Even the Great Emperors must call him their lord—he... what cultivation is this!!"

"Could it be..."

"Could it be..."

"Xia Xian!!!"

Seventh Grandfather laughed loudly, the comfort in his heart, the peak of this life!

And Xu Qing's gaze, at this moment, turned toward the ancient immortal who had caused all this calamity, gazing upon the other's now extremely Heavy, deeply沉沉 face.

Xu Qing's calm voice echoed through the world.

"As for you, I have waited for you, long."

In his words, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly opened wide, as if two beams of ultimate starlight burst forth, endless spiritual power surging from within him like a bursting Tianhe, instantly sweeping outward in all directions.

Forming a colossal immortal body!

Upon its emergence, the Great Emperor bows his head, all beings inhale, and the void shatters into dust!

The entire Eastern Wanggu trembles violently, countless cracks spreading like spiderwebs in an instant.

The sky is instantly shrouded in dark clouds, lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, as if heaven and earth tremble for him.

Moreover, the Constitution becomes the latest law of Eastern Wanggu!

Time, space, myriad laws, spacetime, myriad paths, parallel, unity... all reside within the Constitution!

The missing return...

During this period I was hospitalized, the cause being excessive dieting for weight loss, which could also be considered self-inflicted...
