Chapter 279: Immortal Zixuan

Xu Qing walked on the eighth giant bridge leading to the Seven Blood Eyes. Under the bridge was the river water rich in immortal spiritual energy, flowing past.

Above the bridge, the red clouds gradually dimmed.

Xu Qing looked at the gradually arriving night, looked at the bright moon that emerged, gradually withdrew his gaze, walked back to the Seven Blood Eyes main city, and went to Zhang San's place.

On the way back, he received a voice transmission from Zhang San, informing him that the magic ship had been built.

For the days without a magic ship, Xu Qing was a bit unaccustomed, so after returning to the main city, even though night had fallen, he still went to find Zhang San the first time.

In the courtyard of Zhang San's transport department, Xu Qing saw his magic ship.

The ship body of more than six hundred zhang was shocking. It was both similar and different from its previous appearance, with more differences reflected in the bow and stern.

The bow was no longer a sea lizard, but transformed into a giant face without features, like a black iron mask.

As for the stern part, it was clear that the giant ship from the visit had given Zhang San inspiration, and it was designed with nine tails.

Although much smaller, each tail was filled with formations and possessed different powers.

The eight sails were also blessed into sixteen, not only more but also larger.

"Xu Qing, this magic ship of yours has reached the limit of the magic ship level, basically already a half-step magic warship."

"All the technologies I developed have been used on it. It not only possesses the ability to fly and dive into the sea, but can also transform into a mask for storage." Zhang San stood on the magic ship, his expression tired, but his tone was still proud.

Xu Qing's expression was solemn, and he bowed deeply to Zhang San with cupped fists.

"Although the cost this time is huge, the port revenue of Nanhuang Continent is enough to support it."

"Besides that, I also specially developed a self-destruct power for it. I'll tell you the truth, my focus was on how to make it more powerful after self-destructing."

"After my adjustments, this magic ship of yours can withstand multiple self-destructs. There are a total of three layers of ship body inside, enough for you to take it to self-destruct." Zhang San said, glancing at Xu Qing.

Hearing this, Xu Qing listened even more seriously.

"Its divinity is not small, and its power is sufficient. Once fully opened, ordinary three-fire combat power simply cannot blast through it at all."

"The only thing it lacks now is a soul, so I left the faceless ship bow."

"As for the soul, in fact, the sect's cultivation technique already has an introduction. I know you practice the 'Shattering Fire Soul-Swallowing Sutra', and so do I. You still remember the description in the cultivation technique that says when this sutra is cultivated to great success, one can suppress a strand of enemy soul in every magic aperture, right?"

"After great success, you will suppress enemy souls in all magic apertures, and you can gather them together and pour them into the magic ship, forming the soul of the magic ship, making it ascend to become a magic warship!"

Zhang San's eyes emitted a strong light.

"This is the first ship I've built that is infinitely close to a magic warship. Xu Qing, remember to pick up some wreckage when you clean the battlefield after you self-destruct in the future. Don't pick up nothing. If you bring it back, I can better know my own shortcomings." Zhang San looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was also moved by the magic ship Zhang San made. Hearing this, he nodded heavily. He felt that what Zhang San said made a lot of sense, so he communicated with Zhang San about the details and said goodbye to leave.

Until watching Xu Qing walk away, Zhang San yawned, and more fatigue appeared. During this time, in order to help Xu Qing build the magic ship, he hadn't rested much.

On one hand, it was because of friendship, and on the other hand, Zhang San was itching in his heart. He very much hoped that the magic ship he built would reveal his designed sense of participation after Xu Qing experienced a great battle and self-destructed.

"Last time, my technique wasn't mature enough. This time, it won't be." Zhang San was proud, smoking his pipe, and went back to rest.

Xu Qing left with satisfaction. He felt that Zhang San really shouldn't be in the transport department; his skills had already reached a considerable height.

But it was clear that Zhang San was very satisfied with his current life. Although his cultivation improvement was slow, Xu Qing could feel Zhang San's satisfaction. It seemed that for him, as long as Xu Qing and the Captain became stronger and stronger, he would have no worries.

"If there is a chance, I must repay him heavily!"

Xu Qing muttered softly and went to the port.

In the early stage of the new city construction, he had already chosen a berth for himself. Arriving at this moment, he put down the magic ship. With the waves of the sea rising and falling, Xu Qing's body flickered and stepped on it, opened the cover, and returned to the cabin.

Looking at the surroundings, everything was no different from his previous magic ship.

Xu Qing sat cross-legged with satisfaction. Amidst the slight swaying of the ship, his heart also calmed down slowly due to the influence of the dream he had before coming to the Wanggu Continent.

He meditated for a long time. Until late at night, Xu Qing opened his eyes, ended the day's cultivation, and checked the batch of little black insects that had eaten the immortal freeze, finding that they were still sleeping. Xu Qing began to study the techniques Seventh Master had taught him.

Regarding cultivation, Xu Qing was very serious and very hardworking.

Just like that, time passed, and soon three days passed.

In these three days, Xu Qing hadn't left the magic ship, nor had he gone to the Security and Protection Special Department. He immersed all his heart and mind in cultivation and research on the cultivation techniques, and his one hundred and second magic aperture also began to loosen.

Until the night of the third day, Xu Qing, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes, got up helplessly, walked out of the cabin, and looked out of the ship in the night.

The Captain was squatting there, throwing apples at Xu Qing's magic ship.

Because of the protection, and because the Captain possessed strange power, the apple thrown hit the protection and didn't shatter, but bounced back.

After falling into his hand, he took a bite and threw it out again, looking like he was having a lot of fun. Noticing Xu Qing walking out, the Captain beckoned.

"Little A-Qing, do you have anything to do tonight?"

Xu Qing glanced at the half-eaten apple in the Captain's hand and nodded.

"I have something."

"It's fine if you don't. Accompany me to do a small thing. I've been short of money recently, and I plan to sell Huang Shazi's fingers to him. We discussed it before. He went to raise money, and we'll trade tonight." The Captain's eyes were glowing, and he spoke in a low voice.

"Come with me. You went back to your hometown a while ago, and I accompanied you." The Captain coughed.

Xu Qing walked out of the magic ship, arrived on the shore, and asked.

"Where is the trade?"

"At the foot of the Profound Nether Sect mountain." Seeing Xu Qing agree, the Captain stood up happily, gave Xu Qing an apple, hugged Xu Qing's shoulder, and spoke mysteriously.

"Little A-Qing, it's still you and Senior Brother who have a good relationship. That guy Lao San, as soon as he heard this, ran away instantly. Don't worry, Senior Brother loves you. I've been pondering a big plan recently, and we'll do it together when the time comes."

"Going there to trade, aren't you afraid of a trap?" Xu Qing asked.

The Captain's eyes revealed excitement, and he said in a low voice.

"I'm also looking forward to it."

"Besides, if you are with me, if something really happens, the old man will definitely come. If it were just me, he probably wouldn't bother." The Captain blinked.

Xu Qing looked at the Captain deeply and nodded.

Soon, the two of them took advantage of the night, left the port, and headed straight for the city area of the Profound Nether Sect. Along the way, they were very fast. At midnight, they arrived at the foot of the Profound Nether Sect mountain, the meeting place between the Captain and Huang Yikun.

There was a pavilion here, and not far away was the mountain gate of the Profound Nether Sect.

In the night, the mountain gate of the Profound Nether Sect towered into the clouds. Although there were scattered lights, it was still pitch black as a whole. Especially at the top of the mountain, there existed a statue. With the moon as the background, the outline of this statue was very clear.

That was a statue of the Profound Nether Ancient Emperor, standing at the top of the mountain, gazing at the direction of the Forbidden Sea.

Even though there was some distance, Xu Qing could still feel the pressure emitted from the statue, which was extremely terrifying. Clearly, this object was extraordinary.

And the feeling the entire Profound Nether mountain gate gave Xu Qing was full of mystery.

After all, the Seventh Peak was, in a true sense, formed by a branch of the Profound Nether Sect back then, and their cultivation techniques also had commonalities. And now the Alliance Leader of the Alliance was also from the Profound Nether Sect, and was the senior brother of the current generation's ancestor.

As for the ancestor of this generation, Xu Qing had seen her from afar at the Seven Blood Eyes that day, but she was covered, and he couldn't see clearly.

At this moment, just as he was gazing from afar, the Captain was squatting on the side, speaking in a low voice.

"Counting the time, Huang Shazi should be here soon."

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and waited with the Captain.

Time passed slowly. After a stick of incense passed, Huang Yikun's figure didn't appear. The Captain raised his eyebrows and took out a jade slip to inquire. They didn't notice that in the firmament, there was a figure walking from outside the Alliance.

This figure was extremely fast, walking into the Alliance's formation without a sound, and arrived outside the mountain gate of the Profound Nether Sect in one step. Just as she was about to walk into the top of the mountain, she seemed to notice Xu Qing and the Captain at the foot of the mountain. This figure paused in the firmament and looked down.

After this pause, her appearance was also revealed.

It was a woman with infinite charm.

Her long green hair hung behind her back, gently tied with a pink ribbon. She wore a purple star-studded dress, shining brightly, and there was smoke and clouds around her, like a fairy, not of the mortal world.

This woman had a face like a plain white pear blossom, a willow waist, two eyebrows like frowning yet not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seemed happy yet not happy, containing affection. Her age looked like a young girl at first glance, but looking closely, her eyes were as deep as a young woman's.

It seemed that there was nothing in this world she didn't know. It was as if with one move of yours, she knew your heart, your experiences, she had all experienced, and the life you hadn't had, she was still richer than you.

At this moment in the firmament, her gaze fell on the foot of the mountain, on Xu Qing, and she laughed softly, stepping over.

One step in mid-air, one step at the foot of the mountain. As she arrived, a vast pressure that couldn't be described spread invisibly from her body, causing Xu Qing and the Captain's expressions to change drastically. Just as they were about to retreat, a soft chant came from the sky.

"Don't move."

Just one sentence was like a law. The Captain's body trembled, recognizing that the other party was the ancestor of the Profound Nether Sect, known as Immortal Zixuan.

Xu Qing didn't know her identity, but his heart was also shaken. His body couldn't move at all, and he could only watch the woman with infinite charm walk all the way, ignoring the Captain, and walk directly in front of Xu Qing, fragrance drifting.

That face, which could be broken by a blow, revealed shocking and mature beauty. The lines of Dao marks in her eyes flowed, revealing a sense of a hunter seeing prey.

In Xu Qing's extreme nervousness, the woman's gaze fell on Xu Qing's eyes, slowly sliding down to his mouth, to his collarbone, to his chest, to his abdomen.

Her eyes were like drawing silk, elegant and slow.

Finally, she raised her finger, lifted Xu Qing's chin, and exhaled like an orchid.

"Little friend, we meet again. You came to the Profound Nether Sect so late, are you lost?" ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
