Chapter 251: Upheaval in Yinghuang!

Displayed before Xu Qing was a vast blue lake. The water quality looked very clear, only by observing carefully could one see that the water here was jelly-like.

Around it grew some colorful vegetation, very messy, and even the top of the grotto where this lake was located was full of moss.

A sense of dampness was very rich here.

Xu Qing's gaze swept around. Whether it was the Shadow's observation earlier or his own perception now, he didn't detect any danger here, but Xu Qing remained cautious, carefully walking towards the lake, and after approaching, looked at the bottom of the lake.

Under the clear jelly-like lake water, the bottom of the lake was clearly visible. After one glance, Xu Qing was silent.

The bottom of the lake was covered with countless skeletons and rubble.

Judging from the bones, there were men and women, densely covering everything within sight, as if many years ago, this place had experienced a human tragedy.

"This is where I once accidentally found. I've been here many times and haven't encountered danger. The skeletons at the bottom of the lake don't have any strange changes either." Wu Jianwu was on the side, leaning over to glance, afraid that Xu Qing would misunderstand his good intentions, and hurriedly explained.

Xu Qing nodded. After observing carefully, he found that the jelly-like water quality here still had some differences from the Immortal Jelly recorded in Master Bai's Pharmacopoeia.

It had more fragrance.

Especially beside this lake, the fragrance from the lake water covered the entire area. Smelling it into the nose and mouth, it was full of sweetness and greasiness. It was fine at first, but after smelling it for a long time, there would be a feeling of nausea to the extreme.

This did not match the description of Immortal Jelly.

But Xu Qing guessed that before experiencing the upheaval, this place many years ago was very likely a pool surrounded by Immortal Qi.

The lake water here was very likely transformed from the Immortal Qi mentioned in the Pharmacopoeia, only it later experienced unfathomable changes, so the substance formed looked like Immortal Jelly, but also had differences.

It could be considered a mutated Immortal Jelly.

Xu Qing didn't know the specific function yet, but he felt that this item should have significant research value.

Thus, he withdrew his gaze, intending to take some more.

But just at this moment, Xu Qing suddenly gave a soft 'eh', looking carefully at the bottom of the lake.

The Life Fire in his body burned even more at this moment, his cultivation base erupted completely, forming a fire sea storm.

Wu Jianwu on the side had his eyes widen, rolled back by Xu Qing's momentum, but didn't know what had happened.

"What's the situation!"

Just as Wu Jianwu spoke, Xu Qing had already gathered the power of the Life Fire into his eyes, making his own eyes at this moment seem to surpass the stars, emitting a brilliant glow, gazing at a position at the bottom of the lake.

There, among the skeletons and a large amount of rubble, was a large stone that gave Xu Qing a sense of familiarity.

"What are you looking at? Is there any good stuff in here? It's a pity this lake water is strange, I don't dare to go down, and I once tried to find a way to fish out the skeletons inside, but I couldn't..." Wu Jianwu noticed Xu Qing's gaze and hurriedly spoke.

But before he could finish his words, the stone that made Xu Qing feel somewhat familiar, as if grabbed by an invisible hand, suddenly moved, pulled outward, slowly traversing the lake water, until it was dragged out and floated before Xu Qing.

This scene made Wu Jianwu gasp.

Xu Qing raised his head to observe this large stone block carefully. After a long while, he found the reason for the familiarity.

It was the aura of the Tai Cang Single Blade.

This stone block actually contained the divine charm of the Tai Cang Single Blade.

This made Xu Qing very strange, and he put it away.

The Shadow also returned silently; it was it that went over just now to take out this large stone block.

At the same time, as the large stone block was taken out, the position where it was previously located revealed a broken stone tablet originally hidden underneath.

As the surrounding lake water fluctuated slowly, the silt on the stone tablet scattered towards the edges, revealing some handwriting and patterns on it.

Xu Qing looked immediately.

"Ziqing Upper Kingdom Washing Immortal Pool?" Wu Jianwu on the side also noticed, saw the handwriting clearly, and exclaimed.

Xu Qing was also very surprised. After observing carefully, he noticed that the pattern on the stone tablet seemed to be a map of the Nanhuang Continent.

On it was marked the location of the Ziqing Upper Kingdom Imperial Capital, which was the current Purple Earth. At the same time, there was also a mark for this Washing Immortal Pool, and beside it was another mark, written as Crown Prince's Mansion.

Looking at its position, it was exactly the ruins of the Tai Cang Dao Temple that Xu Qing wanted to go to before.

Xu Qing gazed at the lake water. The origin of this place was already clear, and at the same time, the name Ziqing Upper Kingdom once again surfaced in Xu Qing's memory.

The first time he heard of the Ziqing Upper Kingdom was in that former Ziqing Capital in Purple Earth, when Chen Feiyuan told him about the Eight Great Families.

It was only then that he knew that a long, long time ago, there existed such a country with a strange bloodline in the Nanhuang Continent.

"Can coexist with magic treasures..."

Xu Qing thought of the feeling Chen Feiyuan gave him at that time, clearly very weak, but also very strong.

For a long time, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, took some more of the mutated Immortal Jelly here, did not linger, turned around, and left the place where the lake was located.

Returned to the outside world.

Outside the entrance of the mountain fissure, Wu Jianwu sent him all the way here. At this moment, he was rubbing his hands, looking at Xu Qing eagerly, wanting to speak but stopping.

"I won't tell anyone else, you can rest assured." Xu Qing took a meaningful look at Wu Jianwu, his body flickered, turning into a long rainbow and going far away.

Leaving only Wu Jianwu alone, standing there, with a face full of melancholy, worried about gains and losses.

Until half a moment later, Wu Jianwu gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Can't care about that much anymore. Although this Xu Qing is overbearing in doing things, he should also be a person who keeps his promises. At worst... I won't return to the sect for a short time. I won't give up until I cultivate my precious son!"

Wu Jianwu was clearly stimulated by the matter of Sheng Yunzi suppressing a peak. At this moment, his eyes were red, and he suddenly turned back to his grotto to continue taking care of those ferocious beasts with large bellies.

By now, the sky was already late, the bright moon was in the sky, and in the moonlight, the trees in the Huang Forbidden Zone seemed to turn into fierce ghosts, looking extremely ferocious. At the same time, there were waves of strange cries and beast roars in the wilderness, occasionally echoing.

Xu Qing's figure traversed through this pitch-black jungle, his body rising and jumping, his speed very fast.

He had no intention of spreading Wu Jianwu's matter to the outside.

In this chaotic world, everyone has their own way of living. Although the other party had some strange habits, he didn't target him, and even led him to find the Immortal Jelly, so Xu Qing was too lazy to pay attention.

He just felt that the world was vast, and there were all kinds of wonders.

"But it's also possible that Wu Jianwu's other purpose is hidden in this matter." Xu Qing shook his head, withdrew his thoughts, found a tree hole in this night color, checked the surroundings, set up a protective array, and then drilled in.

While preparing to spend the night, Xu Qing also took out the obtained Immortal Jelly.

At this moment, some time had passed, so this Immortal Jelly was clearly reduced by a small half, which made Xu Qing think of what Wu Jianwu said, that this item would disappear after more than an hour.

So he pondered for a while, took out a small bottle, opened it, and waved his hand. Instantly, the small black insects inside flew out and landed on the Immortal Jelly, starting to devour.

Xu Qing observed carefully, but after waiting for a moment until the small black insects finished eating these Immortal Jellies, there was no reaction or change. So Xu Qing thought about it and simply let this batch of small black insects devour all the Immortal Jellies he had taken.

Soon, the Immortal Jelly disappeared. Xu Qing observed for a long time, finally put those small black insects back into the bottle, and marked this bottle to be stored separately.

He prepared to wait for a period of time, let them digest the Immortal Jelly, and then go check if there was any difference.

After finishing these, Xu Qing took out the stone block obtained in the Washing Immortal Pool that possessed the divine charm of the Tai Cang Single Blade, held it in his hand to study, and perceived the divine charm within. Gradually, it seemed as if a blade shadow flashed before his eyes.

This made Xu Qing's mind shake, and he closed his eyes to perceive.

Just like this, a night passed.

The next morning, Xu Qing opened his eyes, and the first thing was to lower his head to look at the stone block in his hand.

"This item can allow me to have a deeper understanding of the Tai Cang Single Blade." Xu Qing felt that the harvest was great, and then checked those small black insects that had devoured the Immortal Jelly.

These small black insects that devoured the Immortal Jelly last night, under Xu Qing's careful observation through blood traction, were found to be one by one as if drunk, motionless, and not very active.

But their aura seemed to have some subtle changes.

This made Xu Qing interested, but now they were not active, and Xu Qing couldn't see the specifics, so he didn't disturb them. After putting them back properly, he kept the location of the lake place firmly in his heart, and only then left the tree hole, galloping towards the distance.

He prepared to go to the ruins where the Tai Cang Dao Temple was located, to see if he could have the opportunity to perceive the second Tai Cang blade. If not, he prepared to study that stone block all year round to perceive it through that.

"The edges of this stone block are sharp, like a blade edge, it must be related to the Tai Cang Dao Temple, it is very likely a part of some divine statue!" Xu Qing analyzed in his heart.

Time passed, and ten days passed.

These ten days, Xu Qing had been on the road, occasionally harvesting some poisonous herbs and poisonous substances, and at the same time, paid multiple attentions to the batch of small black insects that drank the Immortal Jelly, but they were still sleeping.

"So long?" Xu Qing was somewhat surprised. If not for the fact that he could perceive that the other party was still alive, he would have thought whether they had died.

"Wait and see." Xu Qing pondered, raising his head to look into the distance.

In front of him, one could see from afar that on the downhill land, there was a ruin transformed from an ancient city, as if eternally silent in the passage of time.

At this moment, it was noon of this day, the sunlight was rich in the sky, but after sprinkling into the jungle and passing through pieces of leaves to fall around Xu Qing, it turned into mottled light.

Looking through this mottled light at that ancient city, a sense of vicissitudes of time arose spontaneously.

At the same time, at this position, one could also see that in the center of this ruined city, there existed a tall and magnificent temple.

Looking from afar, one could only vaguely see the outline, not very clear, but that kind of ancient and mysterious feeling was still mixed in the time witnessed by this city.

"Arrived." Xu Qing's body leaped, approaching the ruins.

And just half a stick of incense time after his figure stepped into the ruins.

Very far away from here, on the Wanggu Continent across the Forbidden Sea, a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering event occurred that made all forces in Yinghuang Prefecture have turbulent waves in their hearts.

The Lingyun Sword Sect within the Seven Sect Alliance, its sect's taboo magic treasure, after nearly two hundred years, was used again today!

It seemed to want to annihilate the entire Seven Blood Eyes sect!

The cause was seven days ago, when the Seven Sect Alliance issued another mobilization order and decree to the Seven Blood Eyes, but Blood Refiner was still dragging it out.

Until one day ago, the Elder Council of the Seven Sect Alliance's highest meeting unified the decision and sent a special envoy to inform the Seven Blood Eyes.

The content of the decision was to let Blood Refiner and the seven peak masters bind themselves and return to the alliance to apologize within one day. If they didn't come, the Seven Blood Eyes would be annihilated, all disciples, dead or alive, would not stop!

At the same time, they informed all alien races and alien sects within the Seven Blood Eyes to leave within three days. If they didn't leave, after three days, if the Seven Blood Eyes continued to act arbitrarily, then the Heavenly Punishment would descend, and the consequences for those remaining of each race would be borne by themselves.

This matter shocked all directions, a large number of alien races visiting the Seven Blood Eyes left one after another, and people from the Seven Sect Alliance also left in large numbers. The entire Seven Blood Eyes was precarious, and people were in a panic.

Until one day later, Blood Refiner still didn't give an answer, so... the Seven Sect Alliance was furious, and the Lingyun Sword Sect's taboo magic treasure instantly erupted.

It turned into a sky-filling blood light, rushing into the sky from within the Seven Sect Alliance, forming a blood-colored seed in mid-air, heading straight for... the North!

Not the Seven Blood Eyes located in the South, but the North!

Within Yinghuang Prefecture, there was one mountain and one river, crossing each other, connecting the East, West, South, and North of Yinghuang Prefecture. The mountain was Taisi Du'e Mountain, and the river was Yunxian Wangu River.

Taisi Du'e Mountain connected the North and South, and Yunxian Wangu River communicated the West and East, and the place where they intersected belonged to the central part of Yinghuang Prefecture. There, there was a sect.

This sect was named Shaosi Sect, and it had no direct connection with the Taisi Immortal Gate, but any major force knew that this Shaosi Sect was the lackey supported by the Taisi Immortal Gate to contain the Seven Sect Alliance.

Because where this sect was located, a dam was built, blocking a tributary of the Yunxian Wangu River that should have flowed along the mountain road to the Seven Sect Alliance's sea outlet.

The tributary was cut off, and the Seven Sect Alliance's overall spiritual energy and the degree of heterogeneous scouring were greatly affected.

For the Seven Sect Alliance, that Shaosi Sect was like a fish bone in the throat. They had repeatedly requested to remove the dam, but were all intervened by the Taisi Immortal Gate, proposing harsh conditions.

And if the Seven Sect Alliance wanted to take action against the Shaosi Sect, unless they could end the battle instantly, otherwise they would definitely be stopped. At the same time, under the checks and balances of various forces, opening the taboo without reason would definitely be suspected by all parties.

At the same time, other forces were also happy to see the human race fight among themselves, fueling the flames, making the Seven Sect Alliance's situation increasingly unbearable.

And at this moment, the blood-colored seed transformed from the taboo magic treasure that erupted from the Lingyun Sword Sect, its direction... was exactly this Shaosi Sect!

The speed was so fast that in an instant, this blood-colored seed traversed an endless range and fell into the Shaosi Sect.

Seven Sect Alliance, this was openly repairing the plank road while secretly taking another route.

They seemed to have a loud conflict with the Seven Blood Eyes, aggressive, but in reality, all of this was smoke, just to reasonably open the taboo, just to find an opportunity to pull out the fish bone in their throat!

Now, with the fall of the blood-colored seed, a strange blood tree rose from the ground within this Shaosi Sect, standing tall to the sky.

With one shake of this tree, most of the cultivators in the Shaosi Sect had their bodies collapse, dying on the spot, their blood rolled into the tree, and the rest were also severely injured, shockingly spitting out blood.

With another shake, the sect roared, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the ground shattered, buildings collapsed instantly, and that dam exploded into pieces.

Without the obstruction of the dam, the surging Yunxian River water directly covered over, flowing and tumbling along the Taisi Du'e mountain road.

At the third shake, the blood tree bloomed, and a voice of vicissitudes came from within.

"Shaosi Sect killed disciples of my alliance, the evidence is conclusive, annihilate the entire Shaosi Sect!"

The sky was filled with blood, forming an array, and within it appeared hundreds of figures, each with an astonishing aura, violent killing intent, falling one after another!

All of this was too fast.

The Seven Sect Alliance, in order to deter the Seven Blood Eyes before, had a total of three sects open taboo magic treasures. At this moment, although only the Lingyun Sword Sect was used, the next instant, the other six sects all opened their taboo magic treasures simultaneously. For a time, the sky above the entire Seven Sect Alliance changed color.

The world was shaken! ===== CHAPTER 252 =====
