Chapter 574: Taking the Blazing Sun from the Si Yin Ancient River

The entire Sacrifice Moon Domain, except for a mountain range at the northwest end bordering the outer domain, was surrounded by the Si Yin River everywhere else.

This river surrounded all living beings like a seal, looking like a circle.

The location Xu Qing arrived at this moment belonged to the southwest of the Sacrifice Moon Domain. There were many mountains here, sparse vegetation, and because it was close to the riverbank, the wind blowing from the Si Yin River carried the scent of death and rot, spreading in all directions.

Only in this gloomy atmosphere, those tiger-wolf words transmitted with the wind seemed to break the gloom here, causing the atmosphere to change somewhat for a moment.

Xu Qing's expression was somewhat strange, and Linger also poked her head out, looking forward shyly, speaking quietly.

"Brother Xu Qing, what are they doing?"

After speaking, she even used Xu Qing's collar to cover her face.

Beside him, Li Youfei, who had never known where Xu Qing was taking him, now on the bank of the Si Yin River, listening to the sounds coming from afar, had a strange expression. He instinctively retreated a few steps, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.

Although he felt it was unlikely, he couldn't help but think of the real purpose of Xu Qing giving him so many Difficulty-Resolving Pills, and the decisiveness with which the other party rejected the Mud Fox.

"It shouldn't be..." Li Youfei's heart trembled, comforting himself.

Xu Qing didn't understand his anxiety. At this moment, he looked into the distance, observing his surroundings.

This area had restrictions.

The function of this restriction, besides concealment, also included isolation, not just sound, but also sight.

When Xu Qing approached earlier, he had already sensed it, seeing that it was laid out with the Captain's blood, and marked with his own aura, allowing him to enter without hindrance.

Xu Qing's eyes revealed contemplation. After walking a few steps, he squatted down and reached out to touch the ground.

This place, according to his sensing, was where one of the eyes of this restriction was located.

Almost the moment Xu Qing's hand touched it, an eye suddenly drilled out from the sand on the ground, blinking at Xu Qing. Afterward, in all directions, similar eyes appeared in patches.

There were even some blue worms that drilled out.

The range was so large that it covered a full thousand miles. This scene made Li Youfei's heart tremble, as if facing a great enemy. In his feeling, the weirdness of this place was the same as the white wind of the desert, carrying a creepy feeling.

Likewise, all of this also moved Xu Qing, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart.

"When the Eldest Senior Brother left before, he said he was going to do a small thing... What kind of small thing requires sealing a thousand miles?"

While Xu Qing was pondering, those eyes and blue worms all shook, transmitting an emotional fluctuation of cheering, and the Captain's voice echoed from them.

"Haha, Little Ah Qing, you're here. Come over quickly, help us pull together!"

Xu Qing's expression was strange, but he didn't hesitate. His body flickered, and he stepped forward. As he moved forward, the eyes and worms on the bank

scattered rapidly, clearing a path.

Following the path, Xu Qing sped. The tiger-wolf words and panting sounds in his ears became clearer and clearer. Until half a stick of incense passed, and after sensing himself walking into a membrane like a water surface, a scene hidden here was reflected in Xu Qing's eyes.

The first thing that caught Xu Qing's attention was a behemoth standing on the riverbank in the distance.

This was a huge door-frame-shaped structure, built from bronze-colored giant stones, three thousand zhang high and a thousand zhang wide.

It was erected on the riverbank like an ancient giant, emitting astonishing pressure and magnificent momentum.

Even looking closely, one could see countless ancient runes carved on the bronze-colored giant stones, dense and numerous, giving a sense of extreme complexity.

And what shocked Xu Qing the most was that what existed inside this door frame wasn't a door, but a strange object formed by black metal circling in rings.

The top and bottom circles were the smallest, and the middle part was the largest, looking like a cone-shaped spring.

It was covered in rust, and in some places, red river water was dripping, as if it had been fished out of the river not long ago.

Looking at this object, Xu Qing couldn't guess what it was, so he cast his gaze to the riverside nearby, where the Captain, Wu Jianwu, and Xiang Ningyan were.

The three were lined up, with the Captain at the very front, holding a vine, panting, his body arched, pulling constantly.

Behind him were Wu Jianwu and his strange offspring, each of them pulling the vine with all their might.

As for Xiang Ningyan, he was at the very back. He sat on the ground with his legs spread wide, his heels buried in the sand, using the leverage while holding the vine on his belly with both hands, wailing while pulling hard.

"Don't, it's really about to break..."

The vine was connected to his navel, extending very long, directly into the Si Yin River in front.

At this moment, as they pulled, the river water churned, and vaguely, it seemed like a huge circular object was being pulled up from the bottom of the river bit by bit.

"Little Ah Qing, come and help quickly."

The Captain shook his hair, wiping away the sweat on his forehead, and shouted toward Xu Qing.

Wu Jianwu also looked up, panting, looking toward Xu Qing. Xiang Ningyan was hopeless, wailing. "Boss, save me..."

Almost at the same time he spoke, a motley light flew out from Xu Qing's side; it was the parrot. At this moment, it had grown some immature motley feathers, only it looked even uglier.

It flew onto Wu Jianwu instantly, like a child who had escaped from the devil's hands and seen family, crying.

"Daddy, I thought I would never see you again."

But before it could lament its experience, its daddy shook his head, threw it away, and roared low.

"Hold the rope and pull for me!"

The parrot was stunned, feeling grief and indignation in its heart, having a feeling that the world wasn't worth it. But since daddy had spoken, it didn't dare not listen. At this moment, it could only pull with all its might, feeling hopeless just like Xiang Ningyan.

Seeing this, although Xu Qing was full of doubts, he stepped to the Captain's side, grabbed the vine, and pulled with all his might.

Li Youfei also arrived rapidly to help, while smiling at Wu Jianwu, glancing at Xiang Ningyan, and then looking at the Captain, immediately analyzing who had the highest status among the three.

Their joining made the pulling force soar. The river water churned violently instantly, and amidst the rumbling echoes, a huge ring appeared on the river surface in the distance with an arc-shaped edge.

"Eldest Senior Brother, what is this object?"

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, asking while pulling.

Hearing this, although the Captain was panting, he couldn't help but feel proud.

"Little Ah Qing, you came too slowly, but it doesn't matter, you finally caught up."

"Did you see the door frame behind us? Haha, guess what that is?"

Xu Qing shook his head, his expression puzzled.

Seeing Xu Qing show such an expression, which was rare, the Captain laughed.

"That is the sun!"

"The Sacrifice Moon Domain once had nine man-made suns, three of which fell. You know this, right? That door frame is one of the fallen suns!"

"And what we are fishing for next is also one of the three fallen suns."

"This is the small thing I came here to do."

"In spring, I planted the seeds, and now in autumn, I will harvest three suns!"

The Captain was proud. In fact, in his previous life, he had found those three suns that fell in ancient times, even repaired them, and finally threw them into the Si Yin River to hide them.

Xu Qing's heart fluctuated. He looked back at the huge door. He never expected that this thing was actually a man-made sun.

"Thanks to Xiang Ningyan, haha, I really didn't misjudge him back then. This kid's bloodline is extraordinary. After merging into the vine, with my blessing, this vine can withstand the corrosion of the Si Yin River."

As the Captain spoke, he shook the vine in his hand affectionately. Hearing this, Xiang Ningyan in the back had a grief-stricken expression. The thing he regretted most was going to Fenghai County.

If he hadn't gone to Fenghai County, he wouldn't have known Chen Erniu. If he didn't know Chen Erniu, he wouldn't have had the subsequent tragedy. Especially at this moment, his heart kept trembling, fearing that Xu Qing and the others wouldn't be able to hold on, in which case he would be instantly dragged into the river.

Although, by working with Chen Erniu, he had eaten a lot of good things along the way, and now his cultivation was about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm...

"Put in some effort!" After the Captain told Xu Qing about his small thing, he roared, and everyone pulled together.

As the sound of the river echoed, the behemoth within became more and more apparent, constantly approaching the bank.

This object was too large, over three thousand zhang in height, forming a huge sense of oppression. As it approached, Xu Qing gradually saw the specifics of this object.

This was a huge ring. Although stained with silt and red river water, one could still see its base color was white. And the most weird thing was that inside this huge ring, there were human figures.

A large number of human sculptures were upside down inside, their feet stepping on the inner ring, holding hands in a cross shape, forming an inner circle. Looking from afar, they looked like the hollow patterns of this huge ring-shaped object.

But it wasn't complete. Xu Qing saw that this inner circle was missing a human sculpture, leaving a gap.

"Little Roundy, come out and pull your daddy!"

Seeing that success was imminent, the Captain roared excitedly, took out the man-made sun of the Solitary Sun Clan, and used the leverage to pull.

Finally, as the river water rose and surged toward the bank like a mountain and sea, the huge ring became clearer in the river, closer and closer, until half an hour later, it was completely pulled up.

With a boom, after it reached the bank, Xiang Ningyan collapsed, and Wu Jianwu was the same. Only the Captain, even if exhausted, jumped up and ran over, touching it left and right, his eyes revealing fanaticism.

"Little Ah Qing, do you know? It's called Big Roundy!" Xu Qing walked to the front, looked up at the huge ring, and felt respect in his heart for the clan that could manufacture this object.

"Little Ah Qing, come and help me, let's push it to Big Squarey."

The Captain was full of vigor, pushing hard. Xu Qing helped from the side. Under their joint efforts, with the rumbling of the ground, this huge ring rolled forward until it reached the side of the door frame. The two sat down, panting.

"Eldest Senior Brother, are you sure the thing you are doing this time is a small thing?"

Xu Qing looked at the two behemoths behind him and sighed. The Captain laughed and hugged Xu Qing's shoulder.

"Of course it's a small thing. After this thing is done, let's go to the Ku Sheng Mountain Range together. The things there... are the big things!"

"By the way, Little Ah Qing, how are you doing in the Ku Sheng Mountain Range?"

"It's okay, I opened a small pharmacy." Xu Qing nodded.

"Pharmacy? That's good, are you short of a boss?" The Captain's eyes lit up.

Xu Qing glanced at the Captain. Linger poked her head out at this moment and spoke rapidly.

"Not short!"

The Captain laughed, looked at Xu Qing, then scanned Linger, with a look of "I understand," then coughed.

"Let's not talk about this first. There is another big guy at the bottom of the river. Let's rest for a while, put in some effort, and fish it out."

"I tell you, Little Ah Qing, this last one is not simple at all!"

"This is the most primitive first man-made sun in the Sacrifice Moon Domain. There were even rumors that it was an ancient object from the Sovereign Era."

When the Captain introduced it in a low voice, Li Youfei, who was sitting beside Wu Jianwu in the distance, was incredibly shocked in his heart.

As a person of the Sacrifice Moon Domain, he naturally knew about man-made suns. Seeing it fished out with his own eyes, his heart had long been shaking violently.

"The Master's friend, is he this terrifying!"

Before Li Youfei could digest the shock, after a simple rest, the Captain stood up, his expression filled with passion, and spoke loudly.

"Time to work, time to work."

"Get the last big guy out, and we'll be all set!"

Saying this, the Captain walked to Xiang Ningyan's side.

Xiang Ningyan looked at the Captain pleadingly. The Captain patted his shoulder.

"Big Ningning, this is the last time, I promise. And the things I promised you, I will definitely get them for you, definitely making your bloodline soar, surpassing your daddy!"

Hearing this, Xiang Ningyan was surprised and suspicious.

The Captain smiled but didn't say much, took Xiang Ningyan's vine, and headed straight for the river water.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing was a bit worried, so he walked over to the Captain's side.

Noticing Xu Qing coming over, the Captain laughed, warmth rising in his heart.

"It's still you, Little Junior Brother, who knows how to care for the Eldest Senior Brother. Ningning and Jianjian, they both watched me jump into the river before, and none of them followed. Okay, let's go together, brothers!"

After the Captain finished speaking, his body rushed forward, stepping into the river water. Xu Qing followed and stepped in. The two instantly submerged into the river, each releasing their cultivation, resisting the power of the river water while rushing toward the bottom of the river rapidly.

The Captain's method of resistance was the blue light all over his body. Xu Qing was simpler; the power of the Purple Moon dispersed slightly, instantly resolving everything. Just like this, the two of them moved at full speed at the bottom of the river.

The bottom of the river was dim, the blood-colored river water was incredibly thick here, and there were countless skeletons floating in the water.

Xu Qing saw with his own eyes a rotten female skeleton floating past him, her eyelids seeming to open for a moment.

Regarding this, Xu Qing didn't pay it any mind, continuing to move forward.

Vaguely, there seemed to be some terrifying existences in the river water, appearing in the surroundings, but whether it was the blue light on the Captain's body or Xu Qing's Purple Moon authority, they formed a deterrent, causing those existences not to launch attacks on them.

Just like this, time passed slowly. Xiang Ningyan's vine, under the Captain's blessing, was infinitely extended. They pulled the vine, getting closer and closer to the deep bottom of the river.

Until I don't know how much time passed, a giant spherical body, submerged in silt, with only a part exposed that was thousands of zhang in size, was vaguely reflected in their eyes.

This giant object was broken, riddled with holes, as if it had experienced a war. A sense of vicissitudes permeated this iron ball, and an ancient feeling was revealed from the mottled rust.

And the passage of time on it made everyone who saw it involuntarily feel a sense of decay.

This was the first man-made sun in the Sacrifice Moon Domain, from the Sovereign Era.

"We're here!" The Captain's eyes revealed a strange light. He gestured to Xu Qing, asking him to help him watch the surroundings, then he himself pulled the vine and approached the iron ball.

Xu Qing nodded, watching from the side.

Only, at this moment, they couldn't notice that inside this rusty, riddled iron ball, there was actually a figure sitting cross-legged!

This figure was thin and dry, his face withered, wearing a tattered brown robe, and one could see veins bulging like mountain ranges on the skin exposed outside.

A head of gray long hair was draped around him, turning into strands of dead souls, wandering inside this iron ball.

When the Captain and Xu Qing approached, the figure's closed eyes slowly opened, revealing a touch of blue light, emitting a soul-stirring power.

It was exactly the Sovereign Crown Prince!

He looked into the outside world, his expression becoming somewhat strange. ===== CHAPTER 575 =====

It is precisely the Sovereign Shizi!

He gazed into the distance at the outside world, his expression turning somewhat strange.
