Chapter 328: The Long Road Ahead
At the same time, similar battles were taking place in the strongholds visited by the other three sects. It was just that they clearly didn't have the arrangements and rhythm of the Seven Blood Eyes, but with the Sword-Holding Court sitting in town, it was also resolved.
But they couldn't achieve sealing.
The corpses at those three points, after being suppressed, had their God-Spirit aura strangely climb to the peak, and then they collapsed on their own, turning into fly ash, leaving nothing behind, as if self-destructing.
At the same time, after the Eight Sect Alliance's attack this time, outside the Eastern Wanggu, on the road from another county of Fenghai County to the central capital, the Purple-Green Crown Prince, wearing a black robe and a God-Spirit mask, was walking slowly.
The eyes under the mask had no emotional fluctuations, calm as water. For the Eastern Wanggu behind him, there was no trace of nostalgia, just like when he left the Nanhuang Continent and came to the Eastern Wanggu back then.
Behind him was the respectfully following Night Dove.
"Master, of the five voluntary God-Spirit trial bodies, four were accidentally found, and one was hidden."
"Not surprised." The black-robed youth in front spoke indifferently.
"The various abilities and shortcomings shown by those four God-Spirit trial bodies that were found have all been recorded and have been told to the fifth trial body there, which can provide support for it to start the next round of God-Spirit transformation later."
"But... there was a small slip." Night Dove hesitated.
"Tell me." The black-robed youth in front remained the same, his voice calm.
"The place where the accident happened was the Shaosi Sect stronghold. The Seven Blood Eyes seemed to have detected our purpose."
"Combining the front and back to look at this matter, it seems their goal was that trial body, and its self-destruction also failed and it was sealed. The leader should be that Seventh Uncle." Speaking of this, Night Dove's forehead was sweating a bit.
These four strongholds were arranged and laid out by him. Originally, everything was normal. Being found was an accident, but it wasn't unacceptable. But having a God-Spirit trial body sealed was too big a responsibility, and he couldn't bear it.
The black-robed youth in front paused his footsteps.
After a long while, he turned around and looked in the direction of the Eastern Wanggu. The eyes under the God-Spirit residual face were no longer the calmness from before, but revealed a strange light.
"My younger brother's Master, huh? I also paid attention to this person before. Looking at it now, this person... is not simple."
"It's a pity that the matter of the Eastern Wanggu is over. Otherwise, I would really like to talk to this person."
The black-robed youth gazed in the direction of the Eastern Wanggu for a long time, withdrew his gaze, and continued to move forward.
"If they got it, let them have it. Just treat it as a thank-you gift I sent for him taking in my younger brother. Besides... God-Spirit aura is not something mortals can study and control."
The black-robed youth spoke indifferently, walking further and further away.
Night Dove followed behind, breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but ask a question while following along the way.
"Master, what exactly is God-Spirit aura?"
"The difference in life level, so I can't explain it to you." The black-robed youth answered calmly.
"You cannot know, and it is also very difficult for you to ponder. Just like ants cannot understand your thoughts, you are the same."
"This is the uncrossable chasm between human nature and God-Spirit nature."
"Simply put, if you have three thousand moments in a single thought, then what God-Spirit creatures pursue is infinite moments in a single instant. Every moment can produce a depth that you cannot understand."
"Once done, or done to a certain degree, then in her eyes, you are not an individual, but countless. Everything about you is transparent, your past, your future, all exist in her eyes at the same time."
Saying this, the black-robed youth waved his hand, and instantly countless pictures appeared outside Night Dove's body. There were pasts and futures, countless pictures superimposed together. If mortals saw the pictures formed, they would definitely collapse and be unable to bear it.
Among these many pictures, the black-robed youth grabbed seven or eight at random, all of which were the endings of Night Dove dying at the hands of different people.
"She can change everything about you, can play with the pictures of your fate, just in a single moment." Speaking of this, the black-robed youth squeezed lightly, and these pictures turned into fragments and dissipated.
After doing this, he raised his head, looked at the God-Spirit residual face in the firmament, and sighed lightly.
"So, after she appeared, we couldn't help but call her a god."
Night Dove looked at those dissipating pictures, couldn't help but tremble, and then looked at the master in front, his eyes becoming even more fanatical.
The sun set in the west, and two figures walked further and further away toward the direction of the Fenghai County capital.
And in the Eastern Wanggu, which was an endless range away from here, in the direction of the Shaosi Sect, following the roar of the great wings, the Seven Blood Eyes group, having completed the blood-killing mission, was riding the great wings, heading straight for the Alliance.
Following the echoing of the teleportation fluctuations, in the next instant, amidst the changing of heaven and earth, the Seven Blood Eyes group all disappeared.
When they appeared, they were already above the Seven Blood Eyes mountain gate. The sunset glow spread across heaven and earth, also falling on these returning Seven Blood Eyes disciples, but most of them still had lingering fear in their hearts.
God-Spirit power, although everyone knew its vastness before this, knew it could change heaven and earth and affect everything, but these were actually empty.
Few people knew the specific manifestation of God-Spirit, only knowing that its aura invaded all living things, and wherever its gaze looked, it turned into a forbidden zone.
But now, they understood a little bit specifically... and just this little bit made people unable to control the rise of great terror in their hearts.
But not everyone was like this. There were still a small number of cultivators whose fighting spirit still rose after perceiving all this, and Xu Qing was one of them.
He had seen the God-Spirit open its eyes twice. While he was more unfortunate than others, he also had his luck. One was that he didn't die, and the other was that he saw more.
So after returning to the sect, Xu Qing went to Sixth Uncle's grave for the first time. There, he placed Sheng Yunzi's head in front of the grave, then sat down, silently gazing at the tombstone.
As the night grew late, Xu Qing picked up a pot of wine, took a sip, and murmured softly.
"It's not over yet."
"Indeed, it's not over!" Responding to Xu Qing was Seventh Uncle's voice coming from behind him.
Seventh Uncle walked over, stood beside Xu Qing, patted Xu Qing's shoulder, indicating that he didn't need to stand up to pay respects. He looked at the tombstone and Sheng Yunzi's head below.
"What Zhu Zhao wants to do is something that all races cannot tolerate. This matter is just a beginning now, and I have already seen the clues to the identity of that Lord of Night Dove. Behind this person... exists a God-Domain."
"The great age is coming, so those few God-Domains are walking into the human world again." Seventh Uncle spoke softly, and Xu Qing was silent.
After a long while, Seventh Uncle patted Xu Qing's shoulder again.
"He is no longer your brother." Saying this, Seventh Uncle walked toward the distance.
Xu Qing's body shook.
For a long time, he looked back in the direction Seventh Uncle left.
Regarding this matter, he didn't deliberately hide it, just didn't want to say it, but clearly, he couldn't hide it from his Master who had spent all his heart and spirit during this period to study Zhu Zhao.
Night fell. Xu Qing stood up, bowed to Sixth Uncle's grave, and turned to leave.
Walking down the mountain, walking out of the mountain gate, walking on the road alone, looking at the night sky alone.
The wind in October, carrying some cold, blew from the sea, falling on his body, face, and hair.
But Xu Qing didn't feel cold. He looked at the crowd on the street, looked at the lights one by one, until he saw a stall that was about to be closed. He knew the shopkeeper.
It was the breakfast stall he often went to when he was in the Nanhuang Continent. The other party also came to the Eastern Wanggu, and not only sold breakfast, but opened all day.
Perhaps because of the recent depression of the Alliance, it closed a little earlier today. The owner of this shop also saw Xu Qing and recognized him.
"Eat something?"
Xu Qing nodded, walked over. When he sat down, the shopkeeper happily served him a bowl of beef soup and took three eggs. Xu Qing took a sip, and that familiar taste made a smile appear on his face.
The wind blew, and brushed past Xu Qing again, but these were not important anymore.
The soup was delicious. Xu Qing drank it slowly, one mouthful after another, until not a drop was left. He picked up an egg, peeled the shell bit by bit, and ate it.
He didn't like peeling eggshells very much, but compared to that sense of satisfaction, he still peeled it carefully.
Finally finished eating, Xu Qing stood up with satisfaction, paid the spirit coins, bowed to the shopkeeper, and left here under the shopkeeper's restraint, returning to the berth Dharma Ship.
"Life still has to continue, no rush... Sheng Yunzi, is just the first one." Xu Qing raised his head to look at the bright moon, deep light appearing in his eyes, turned back to the cabin, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
In this battle, he killed Sheng Yunzi, swallowed his Jin Wu, his own Jin Wu successfully ascended to the second stage, and he had one more palace of combat strength. This made him now, although he only had two palaces turned from virtual to real, he could erupt with the power of three palaces in combat strength.
Cooperating with other means, Xu Qing could sweep across in three palaces. Even once the poison prohibition was used, Xu Qing felt that cooperating with his Infinite Crown's protection, as long as the four-palace Golden Core couldn't break through his Infinite Crown's power in a short time, then ultimately they would also die under his poison prohibition.
"But I still have to work harder, striving to turn my third Tiangong from virtual to real." Xu Qing murmured softly, looking inside himself. After he obtained the enemy's Golden Core several times with the Ghostly Seclusion Dao-Seizing Art, his third Tiangong was already 50% substantial at this moment.
It seemed the speed was not very fast, but if compared to other Tiangong Golden Cores, Xu Qing's speed was already extremely fast. As for Sheng Yunzi, clearly he had other opportunities, not counting as a regular speed.
And the residual will contained in those Golden Cores he seized couldn't shake him at all.
The Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness suppressed everything.
Just like this, time passed slowly, and soon a month passed.
In this month, the Alliance had completely wiped out the final influence of that catastrophe, and at the same time increased the intensity of recruiting disciples, supplementing many newcomers to join each sect.
At the same time, the Seven Blood Eyes also had steady progress, and because Venerable Dongyou agreed to Xue Lianzi's invitation, not only was Dongyou Island an ally, but she herself also joined the Seven Blood Eyes, becoming a guest ancestor of the Seven Blood Eyes.
Her joining made the Seven Blood Eyes' strength greatly increase. Plus the Seven Blood Eyes seized the blood tree taboo treasure, all of this made the Seven Blood Eyes' status in the Eight Sect Alliance rise too much in one leap.
When everything was developing in a good direction, Xu Qing also successfully turned his third Tiangong 80% substantial, not far from the final completion.
His emotions had also recovered more than half, and everything had been buried in his heart by him.
As for the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor and the Shadow, they were also very hardworking, moving forward doubly to break through their own shackles.
And just at this time... within the Alliance, another big event happened!
This matter happened in the Xuanyou Sect.
The location was within the forbidden area of the Xuanyou Sect where the demon snake was nailed.
The incident happened this morning. Following a roar that shook heaven and earth and spread throughout the entire Alliance, the soul of that demon snake in the Xuanyou Sect woke up.
The reason for waking up was, on one hand, being stimulated, and on the other hand, because in the mouth of its skeleton, a tooth was actually broken off by someone using some method.
The perpetrator was caught on the spot, and it was Wu Jianwu of the Seven Blood Eyes.
It is said that when he was caught, this Wu Jianwu was still reciting poetry with the demon snake's soul...
In addition, although the person was caught, the stolen goods disappeared.
When Xu Qing knew about this, he was drinking soup at the breakfast stall. Yan Yan was on the side, like a little daughter-in-law, obediently peeling eggs for Xu Qing.
Not long after, Xu Qing put down the soup spoon, raised his head, and looked at the figure rushing over ahead.
It was the Captain.
He arrived rapidly, sat directly beside Xu Qing, looking around with a guilty conscience.
"Captain, your complexion is not good. You must have done something bad." Xu Qing drank a mouthful of soup and spoke softly.
"Little Ah Qing, don't talk nonsense. I'm just because the weather is cold and I have a bit of a cold." The Captain coughed and became solemn.
"By the way, remember the big thing I told you last time? I'm preparing to go out for a trip. Are you two going?" ===== CHAPTER 329 =====
