Chapter 503: Red Moon Red Mother!
Kong Kong Xianglong silently took the storage bag and left the Sword Pavilion.
The sky outside was already beginning to brighten. After watching Kong Kong Xianglong walk away, Xu Qing stood there, gazing into the distance, his mind filled with memories of everything regarding that wish box from his mission.
"The scent of osmanthus," Xu Qing murmured.
He had examined that wish box at the time and remembered it contained a faint scent of osmanthus.
In the firmament, low rumbles of thunder echoed. The prefecture capital in this season had abundant rainfall, and soon, in the early morning, a drizzling rain began to sprinkle over the earth once more.
The morning light, obscured by the curtain of rain, grew dim, causing early risers to momentarily lose track of time, as if dusk were already approaching before noon had even passed.
Xu Qing returned to the Sword Pavilion, sat cross-legged, and allowed himself to slowly calm down to continue his meditation.
His current cultivation base was nearing the peak of the Tiangong Golden Core; he was only one Tiangong away from perfection.
And this Tiangong, after experiencing the battlefield, was also nearing formation; it would not be long before it could be manifested to ninety-nine percent completion.
"The suppression object for this Tiangong..."
It was easy to imagine that the god within it was not particularly astonishing.
The wording in the announcement was overbearing and unquestionable, requiring all sects to perform military service, while the authority over each sect's forbidden magic treasures was also not returned.
It was not called that name in the past; it was called the Immortal Realm.
Not only had his subordinates entered the prefecture capital, but they had also spread to the Sword-Holding Courts of every prefecture in Zhang Zhang Siyun; it was unparalleled, and because of his rescue of Jinglan Heaven, countless humans cheered for him.
The first batch of prisoners was indeed the women and children of the Yao family. Although the calls for execution within the boundary were extremely high, Feng Hai Prefecture did not act; he chose to adopt the Ancient Emperor's suggestion.
"And it is in a stage of imminent awakening; he should run quickly!"
He had not left the Sword Pavilion, and not many people came to find him. With the Seventh Imperial Prince taking control of the prefecture capital, everything had changed.
Using the seal of destiny and deceiving the divine soul into mistakenly believing it was a tool spirit, sealing itself—this was also a strategy left behind from that time.
A single finger of a clone was already this astonishing, and this clone had gathered the power of the human race back then; it was only through the suppression of the Imperial Preceptor that it could be dismembered and sealed, unable to be destroyed.
Because it could not be taken away due to his arrival, it was ultimately sealed there, and the prefecture capital was relocated to suppress it; furthermore, the Prison Division, which later became famous throughout Zhang Zhang Siyun, was built at the entrance of the Immortal Prohibition.
In the long years, the human race had only opened the Immortal Prohibition once.
Thus, after the rumors of opening the Immortal Prohibition spread in all directions, the First Imperial Prince's decree was officially issued.
The source of that huge disturbance was the low roar of the god's finger echoing within his mind at this moment.
Behind me were several unfamiliar faces following, seemingly monitoring everything I did.
Xu Qing pondered, sensing his Emperor Sword.
But that god's finger slept and rarely woke; the Ancient Emperor could not wake it with his calls. Thus, when he hesitated in his heart after buying elixirs about whether to stimulate it with the Purple Moon, the god's finger actually trembled and woke up on its own.
Once this decree was issued, Zhang Zhang Siyun was even more shaken, especially the prefecture capital, where the intensity grew.
"What are you humans trying to do? This is the Supreme God Red Mother!!"
"If there is no other choice in the end, let's use the Emperor Sword as the suppression object."
In this half-month, Xu Qing seemed to have been forgotten.
However, the location was no longer the original spot, but was required to be changed to the Sword-Holding Palace.
It was one of Xu Qing's eighty-eight Jinglan palaces.
As the god's finger roared, a cryptic divine sense radiated from its body. Borrowing the Ancient Emperor's perspective to observe the surroundings, upon noticing the original Prison Division being excavated, it suddenly trembled violently and gasped in shock.
Outside, there were not only people from Zhang Zhang Siyun, but also soldiers from the Imperial Capital!
The eight great palaces were also reorganized, becoming appendages of the main army under the eight commanders arranged by the First Imperial Prince to act as palace masters.
At the same time, the Imperial Capital Sword-Holders who had accompanied the army from the Imperial Capital Sword-Holding Headquarters also withdrew from Zhang Zhang Siyun in large numbers.
The Sword-Holding Palace took over various departments, and the other two palaces were the same.
Every Immortal Realm was a world; in the past, they not only contained rare treasures but also held dense Immortal Qi, a breath of a higher level than spiritual energy.
The Ancient Emperor did not know much about the Immortal Prohibition, but having once been a guard in the Prison Division, he knew slightly more than others.
The god's finger's high-pitched roar carried intense nervousness, appearing even more panicked than the Ancient Emperor.
"Red Mother parasitism, that is a Red Moon clone!"
And now, there was only one voice in Jinglan Heaven: the First Imperial Prince.
There were several others where gods had withdrawn and resided within, causing alien substances to permeate and become extremely dense.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and began to breathe in and out.
"Red Mother clone, opening the Immortal Realm, appearing at the same time... Are they humans trying to feed the Red Mother by swallowing it?"
"The main body!!"
Experts from the Imperial Capital region attempted to obtain divine sources within, but they failed. Although they did not trigger the god's awakening, the power radiated during its slumber transformed into a clone.
Half a month later, the place of the Immortal Prohibition opened.
Therefore, those eighty-eight palace Immortal Realms were the imperial realms during Xu Qing's Emperor Xuanyou era, and they also kept many exotic beasts for hunting purposes.
In Jinglan Heaven, because it was the first stop for Jinglan Emperor Xuanyou arriving from the great sea, there existed an ordinary area called the Immortal Prohibition.
The god's finger screamed, "At most one month, the Red Mother on its body will definitely wake up!"
The Ancient Emperor's breathing was slightly rapid, but he remained rational. He discovered that the god's finger, now that it had woken up, had thoughts that were not as chaotic as before.
Now, after many years, the news that the Immortal Prohibition was to be opened again stirred countless hearts.
That clone nearly brought a monstrous catastrophe to Jinglan Heaven; in the end, although it could not be destroyed under the suppression of the human race, it was dismembered by the hand of the human Imperial Preceptor.
"Isn't it not awake yet?"
A slight accident could potentially cause a catastrophe in Zhang Zhang Siyun, leaving the land devastated and turning living beings into the god's rations.
Therefore, the Ancient Emperor was walking on the streets of the prefecture capital at this moment, preparing to buy some elixirs while also attempting to call out to Ding Yi-87's finger.
The land of the Immortal Prohibition was about to open.
And the Ancient Emperor was also in the first batch of people to enter the Immortal Prohibition; Jinglan Heaven, the Captain, and most of the original Zhang Zhang Siyun Sword-Holding Palace Sword-Holders were on the list.
The first batch of people to enter were Sword-Holders; we had to complete specific tasks within to lay the foundation for the second batch of entrants.
And the Prison Division, under the leadership of Feng Hai Prefecture, had finished its reconstruction work.
But after the arrival of the God's Remnant Face, everything changed.
The Red Moon was clearly stronger than the Immortal Prohibition god!
As Xu Qing Jinglan and a host of emperors and masters of various races left one after another, the eighty-eight palaces became desolate; many were abandoned, and some became lands of foreign races following the loss of a human territory.
Countless Imperial Capital soldiers continuously cleared the site of the original Prison Division, digging here to open one seal after another, and furthermore, under the influence of the prefecture capital's forbidden magic treasure, they carved out a path leading to the Immortal Prohibition.
The discipline was extremely strict from top to bottom; there were quite a few who were executed for violating military law in the half-month.
There was a god sleeping inside here.
Just like that, time passed, and soon half a month went by.
"Soon, soon, it's about to wake up. Hmm? Something is wrong... There is a human formation on me. Kid, you humans are actually actively helping the Red Moon Red Mother occupy that body!"
【Note: The input text for 【69】 and 【70】 was split; translated as a continuous thought.】
But out of trust in the First Imperial Prince and his formidable military strength, the shock was quickly pacified, and the preparations for opening the Immortal Prohibition proceeded one after another.
At the same time, a rumor spread within the territory of the prefecture capital and was gradually known to every prefecture.
Thus, the Ancient Emperor suppressed the shock in his heart toward Kong Kong Xianglong and tried his best to project an intense divine thought.
But being called a god, for a cultivator, it was still an existence that was difficult to shake.
I want to know more about the Immortal Prohibition because I feel that opening the Immortal Prohibition during that wartime period is a bit strange.
But the imperial order could not be disobeyed, so Zhang Zhang Siyun could only delay the opening time.
Thus, in all of Zhang Zhang Siyun, there was only one voice: the First Imperial Prince.
The identity of the Sword-Holder was ultimately preserved.
As for those alien races, they were even more so, trembling one by one, but they could not escape the purge; they were ordered to hand over half of their clan's resources and join the allied forces to fight for the human race.
That behavior was considered not leaning toward the human race, so they escaped this disaster and were not held responsible for the Yao family's actions.
"This is the Immortal Realm, it's about to be opened!!"
Its breath polluted the entire Immortal Realm, making this place full of death; it was a forbidden zone for life, so it was called the Immortal Prohibition.
After all, he did not have the surname Yao.
Among them, Kong Kong Xianglong, despite the guarantee of the Prince Sima deacon, could not escape investigation; in the end, he chose to testify and report his mother's clan.
On the streets, war cultivators from the Imperial Capital were clearly increasing, followed by gradually militarized control and visits from various races of Jinglan Heaven.
Clearly, there were levels even among gods.
The Ancient Emperor looked at those with an expressionless face, but a heaven-shaking storm was erupting in his heart.
Additionally, the announcement from the First Imperial Prince to all sects in Jinglan Heaven was also issued during that half-month.
Because it was too safe.
Although Jinglan had sealed the finger himself, judging from the reaction when the other party saw his Purple Moon origin, the other party feared the Red Moon very much.
Although this matter caused some ripples, under the general trend, no one could stop it.
Kong Kong Xianglong.
That palace Immortal Realm in Jinglan Heaven was just like that.
Although the white Daoist robe of the Sword-Holder carried its own style, the person wearing it was haggard, with bloodshot eyes, and was disheveled to the extreme.
Because the Ancient Emperor saw a person.
Regarding military discipline, it was even more so.
Feng Hai Prefecture had also discussed this with the Ancient Emperor, and the tone was somewhat simple.
Even before that, there were some sporadic rumors about this matter, but in reality, the Prefecture Governor and the Prefecture Chancellor were both against it at the time, and the Palace Master of the Sword-Holding Palace was also in a stage of hesitation.
Hearts were filled with fear.
Especially before his own Tiangong turned into Ding Yi-87, I was very clear... the finger inside the Tiangong was the clone formed by the god's aura that had dissipated from outside the Immortal Prohibition land back then.
Kong Kong Xianglong walked silently along the street, and when he caught sight of Jing Lan, if it had been in the past, he surely would have been filled with hatred, but now he merely glanced at her, lowered his head with a bitter expression, and hurried away.
