Chapter 223

Xu Qing's eyes narrow, turning to look at the Captain, thoughtful.

The Captain raises his head, also looking at Xu Qing, smiling but not smiling.

"This forbidden zone has some bizarre things, but overall it's okay." Xu Qing speaks.

"En, not bad not bad, I go to the forbidden zone less, I go to the sea more, just come over to see and learn." The Captain laughs.

Both of them automatically avoid the topic just now, as if they had forgotten about it, and walk toward the forbidden zone.

They know very well that they cannot continue to talk about that topic. This matter is too big, concerning the layout of the entire Seven Blood Eyes, and even if one ponders a little deeper, one can feel the monstrous ambition hidden within.

One must know that although the entire Sea Corpse Clan has nine Corpse Ancestor god statues, this does not mean that from the beginning of the Sea Corpse Clan's birth, there were only nine...

In the ancient years, there must have been more Corpse Ancestor statues, but due to various accidents, they were taken away by other clans for research. Even if there were no clues and answers in the end, it was impossible to return them.

The nine statues of the Sea Corpse Clan, with a high probability, are only nine left now.

Then, associating the Seven Blood Eyes' attack and the war fortress of the Sixth Peak in the war, none of them were dispatched on the battlefield. It was only when Sixth Uncle took revenge that he showed it, but it only revealed normal power and did not exceed the standard.

The meaning within this is very far-reaching.

Xu Qing buries this matter in his heart and also understands why the Captain fled in a panic and insisted on following him with a thick skin.

On one hand, the Captain has a strong desire to confide. Knowing such a secret, if he doesn't say it out to show off, he won't feel comfortable in his heart.

On the other hand, if he hadn't come out and stayed in the Seven Blood Eyes, I'm afraid the sect would have found a reason to lock the Captain up for a period of time in order to keep some secrets.

Xu Qing shakes his head and doesn't continue to ponder. No matter how big this matter is, it doesn't have much to do with him. And now the war should be ending. It won't take too long, and everything will have an answer.

Xu Qing takes a deep breath, puts away all his thoughts, and walks into the forbidden zone forest.

Here, he didn't know how many times he had come back then, incomparably familiar. Not to say he could walk freely inside with his eyes closed, but it was about the same. Everything he saw in the surroundings seemed to be able to emerge in his memory.

So the moment he walked into the forest, Xu Qing's speed suddenly accelerated, his entire person like a ghost, whistling forward in the forest. The Captain followed behind, looking at the surroundings curiously.

He indeed went to the forbidden zone on land less. The only one he had been to was the Huang Forbidden near the sect. He went there to comprehend some divine abilities, but unfortunately failed and didn't succeed.

Seeing Xu Qing's speed accelerate at this moment, he also increased his speed somewhat. The positions he walked were all where Xu Qing landed. While walking, he observed carefully, and while thoughtful, he learned very quickly.

"So much knowledge." The Captain looked at Xu Qing's figure rising and falling in the forest, observing very carefully. As for the foreign matter permeating here, he didn't care.

The foreign matter on the sea is richer than here. The Seven Blood Eyes' cultivation technique is still quite good in separating foreign matter. Unless forced to the limit and in a desperate situation, disciples of large sects rarely have foreign matter exceeding the standard and collapsing.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to the Captain. At this moment, he was immersed in his memory. As he moved forward, the pictures of the past flashed frame by frame in his heart. The closer he got to the destination, the more waves he had in his heart.

Until a moment later, Xu Qing's footsteps slowed down. He walked through a tree bush and saw a lonely grave.

The grave was covered with weeds, but the tombstone had not disappeared and was still standing there. Clearly, although more than two years and almost three years had passed, the things Xu Qing did in the scavenger camp that day made the subsequent scavengers full of respect for this grave after hearing about it.

Even if they didn't help to weed, they wouldn't come to destroy and disturb.

After all, they were all scavengers. Being able to be buried after death is a very happy thing. Why take a certain risk, and without any benefit, to destroy it?

Xu Qing looked at the tombstone, walked over silently, and sat in front of the grave. He raised his hand to clear the weeds around one by one, and finally picked up the wine gourd, drank a mouthful, and poured some on the grave soil.

"Lei Dui, Master Bai has also left." Xu Qing spoke softly, leaning against a big tree on the side, raising his head to look at the dark clouds in the sky through the gaps in the tree canopy.

The Captain was silent, looking at the grave and then at Xu Qing, without speaking or approaching, but went to the distance. He knew that what Xu Qing needed at this moment was to be alone.

Xu Qing indeed needed to be alone. He leaned against the big tree, drinking wine silently. As the sky slowly darkened, Xu Qing raised his head to look at the forest in the distance, where... there was nothing.

"Lei Dui, you said back then that people who could hear the singing here and survive, after hearing the singing for the second time, would see the person they most wanted to see..."

"But there are several people I want to see. I don't know if I really hear the singing one day, will I see them all." Xu Qing murmured softly, drinking another mouthful of wine.

The surroundings were quiet, without sound, and the sky slowly darkened, gradually the entire forest was pitch black.

Xu Qing was silent.

Until more than half an hour passed, he sighed softly, knelt down to the grave, kowtowed, and when he got up, he placed the wine gourd on the grave soil.

"I still didn't find the Heavenly Fate Flower." Xu Qing looked at the tombstone, and after a long time, turned and walked toward the distance.

Step by step, gradually disappearing into the night.

As Xu Qing moved forward, not long after, footsteps came from behind him. It was the Captain.

"Xu Qing, if there is a chance in the future, accompany me home for a trip. I haven't been back to worship for a long time." The Captain's voice was somewhat hoarse, speaking softly.

Xu Qing nodded.

In the night, their figures moved forward all the way in the pitch-black forest. During this period, no strange beasts appeared. The instinct of wild beasts made them feel that the two appearing in the forest today were completely different from the scavengers on weekdays.

Late at night, Xu Qing arrived at the valley. Walking in the valley, the bloodstains from back then had long been filled with weeds, and in two or three years, the Seven-Leaf Grass here had grown a lot again, and there were no traces of being picked.

Clearly, this valley had not yet been discovered by other scavengers.

Looking at the collapsed wooden house in the distance, Xu Qing thought of the scenes of refining poison inside back then, and the shadow here clearly had some emotional fluctuations. As for the Jin Gang Sect ancestor, he had been silent since Xu Qing returned.

Xu Qing knew that, including the forbidden zone, the large area outside, here was not only his former residence, but also the shadow's, and also the Jin Gang Sect ancestor's.

Passing through the valley, Xu Qing looked at the temple group in the distance.

In the dark night, as lightning bolts appeared in the firmament, with the help of a moment of brightness, the temple group in Xu Qing's eyes stood there, without any difference or change from back then.

One can imagine that even if more time passed, even if the scavenger camp outside was replaced by generations of people, this temple group would still stand here, eternally unchanged.

"En? There is actually a Tai Cang Dao Temple here too." Xu Qing gazed, and the Captain behind him gave a light 'yi' sound.

"Tai Cang Dao Temple?" Xu Qing turned his head to look at the Captain.

"I remember now, I saw you display a divine ability similar to the Heavenly Blade before. At that time, I felt it looked familiar. Looking at it like this now, you kid wouldn't have comprehended the Tai Cang Blade here, would you?" The Captain said, his eyes widening, revealing a look of surprise.

"No way, the more I recall that blade of yours, the more it looks like it. Was I really right?"

"God, that is the Tai Cang Blade. Do you know what the Tai Cang Blade is? That is extraordinary!"

Xu Qing looked at the Captain deeply. He was already familiar with this hobby of the other party who liked to be mysterious, and he also knew that once he asked, he might owe spirit stones inexplicably again. He also knew that to deal with such a person, he should let him hold it back first. When he held it back to the limit, if he opened his mouth, the other party would likely say it all in one go.

So he withdrew his gaze and walked toward the temple group. The Captain blinked and followed behind, sighing while walking.

"Extraordinary."

"Wow."

"Powerful."

While talking, Xu Qing had already arrived at the place where the temple group was located, found the temple where he comprehended that blade back then, stepped in, raised his head to gaze at the statue in the temple, and sat cross-legged on the side.

He came back this time, besides worshiping Lei Dui, also thinking about whether he could continue to comprehend the Heavenly Blade here, so that its power could be greater.

"Sure enough, it is the Tai Cang Dao Statue!" As soon as the Captain entered the temple, he was attracted by the statue, flew over and circled around, turned his head to look at Xu Qing who was sitting on the side wanting to comprehend, blinked, smiled but not smiled, and didn't speak.

Just like this, time passed, and a night passed.

Xu Qing felt some regret in his heart, but he analyzed that wanting to comprehend this blade required a specific time, and this time was uncertain. It might be a few months, or it might be a few decades.

So as the morning light of the outside world sprinkled, Xu Qing stood up, and the Captain's smile was like a spring mountain.

"Didn't succeed, right? It's expected. It would be strange if you could succeed."

"Why?" Xu Qing is surprised.

"Couldn't help it, right? Wanting to ask me, right? Why don't you continue to hold it back?" The Captain was incomparably proud.

Xu Qing looked at the Captain's eyes and didn't speak.

The Captain blinked and didn't speak either.

After a while, Xu Qing sighed.

"Senior Brother, why exactly, tell me."

Hearing this, the Captain laughed loudly, incomparably proud, and coughed.

"Then I'll tell you. But don't forget the fifty thousand spirit stones you owe me." After finishing, the Captain said the answer in one breath.

"The Tai Cang Dao Temple is said to have originated from the Tai Cang Dao Kingdom of the Tai Cang Era, but the history left by this Dao Kingdom is very little. Only in some forbidden zones do such Dao Temples exist. The god statues worshipped in the Dao Temples are all the same. Many years ago, someone discovered that these Dao Temples actually contain an incomparably astonishing inheritance, which can be seen as an imperial-level cultivation technique, and ten thousand races can comprehend it."

"It's just that the difficulty of comprehension is very great, depending on the opportunity. And the blade techniques in each Dao Temple are different, so how many blades this imperial-level inheritance has specifically, no one knows. But I heard that some people comprehended one blade, some comprehended two or three blades. It seems that the one who comprehended the most was only six or seven blades."

"But regardless, its power doesn't need to be questioned. Comprehending more than three blades is comparable to a quasi-imperial-level divine ability. If it reaches six or seven blades, it is definitely imperial-level."

"As for this Tai Cang Dao Temple, not only is it here, but in the Huang Forbidden next to the Seven Blood Eyes, there is a ruin with a large range, and there is such a Dao Temple in the center of the ruin. I once went to comprehend it, but didn't succeed. You can go there to see if you have a chance in the future."

The Captain said this, his expression somewhat strange, and said again.

"In addition, the blade technique comprehension in the Tai Cang Dao Temple, once someone succeeds in comprehension, the Dao rhyme of the temple god statue will dissipate, and it will take half a cycle of sixty years to form again before others can continue to comprehend. So you couldn't have succeeded last night. This is not that I didn't tell you, but you didn't ask me. I am actually curious about what you were doing all night yesterday."

The veins on Xu Qing's forehead twitched.

The Captain coughed and said again.

"Of course, it's not that there is no way to be early, and that is to behead the person who comprehended this blade in front of the statue he comprehended. In this way, the god rhyme of the statue will recover immediately, and it can be comprehended by others again."
