Chapter 699

Xu Qing had already seen the old friends of the Nanhuang Continent.

As he returned to Fenghai County, time also passed by a month in a flash.

In this month, under the planning of Yao Hou and Seventh Uncle, the Shenglan Domain and that half of the Black Spirit Domain had completed the handover of power details and basically became one.

While being unified and governed by Fenghai County, seventeen vast bridges were built on the Siyin Changhe bordering the Jiyue Domain.

These bridges spanned the long river, closely connecting Shenglan and Jiyue together.

Caravans from the two domains, from then on, besides river transport, also had land transport.

For some low-level cultivators, this would be more convenient.

Teleportation arrays were also built and connected.

So to a certain extent, in the south of the Wanggu Continent, the places Xu Qing directly and indirectly controlled were already two and a half domains.

Such power was rarely seen among the ten thousand races of the Wanggu Continent.

For the human race now, it had already surpassed the scope of feudal lords, causing shock among many foreign races.

At the same time, the expansion of the scope also made each county and each state have a new division of power; among them, most of the personnel changes came from the original personnel of Fenghai County.

The Grand Duke of Shenglan cooperated fully with this, so the matter of unification was exceptionally smooth.

Finally, the Domain Mansion was established.

Xu Qing was elected as the Domain Master; this had little to do with cultivation, because only he could connect Jiyue, suppress the Grand Duke of Shenglan, and at the same time obtain the fanaticism of the Black Heaven race priests.

If it were someone else, Jiyue, Shenglan, and Black Spirit would be very difficult to become a whole.

And the governance of the domain was not one person's business, and many times it could not be led by personal will, so the Deliberative Council was established in the Domain Mansion.

Yao Hou, the Emperors of the three Shenglan countries, Pope You Sang, representatives of the Jiyue side, and some races with not-weak power in the domain all served as members of the Deliberative Council.

They would decide on everything regarding these two and a half domains, and then send it for review to the higher-level Council of Elders.

The members of the Council of Elders were few, served by the Grand Duke of Shenglan, Old Nine, and a Black Heaven High Priest whose whole body was wrapped and sealed with cloth strips; besides them, Seventh Uncle was also elected to become a member of the Council of Elders.

After these four were the Mingnan Shizi and Xu Qing.

Under this structure, the Shenglan Domain, the Jiyue Domain, and half of the Black Spirit Domain also began to truly recuperate, and the strength they possessed when united was enough to protect themselves.

Subsequently, a long journey was about to unfold.

Xu Qing and Xiang Ningyan would go to the Imperial Capital Domain of the human race to be received by the Human Emperor.

This time going out was different from when Xu Qing and the Captain secretly ran to Jiyue before; at that time, they needed to hide, and their status and status were far inferior to now.

But now, Xu Qing's status and the power he represented made it impossible for him to go alone and in a hurry.

So his travel needed an entourage.

Three thousand Sword-Holders from Fenghai County who had experienced many wars would accompany him to the Imperial Capital Domain, and the leader was personally served by the Sword-Holding Palace Master, Li Yunshan.

Kong Xianglong was also among them.

Accompanying them was Immortal Zixuan, and Wu Jianwu originally didn't want to go, but couldn't stand Xiang Ningyan's enthusiasm, so he accompanied them reluctantly.

Of course, there was one more person who couldn't be missing.

That was the Captain.

Just like that, everything in the Shenglan Domain proceeded in an orderly manner, and their group embarked on the journey to the Imperial Capital Domain.

And the Imperial Capital Domain was extremely far from the Shenglan Domain; its location, due to the unification of Wanggu by the Profound Heaven Ancient Emperor, was in the very center of the Wanggu Continent.

In the past, it was worshipped by ten thousand races, was the pinnacle of the Wanggu Continent, and was even more of a holy land.

Its domain not only had special significance, but its own terrain was also different.

Wanting to go normally required a long time and experiencing the spheres of influence of several races, which was very difficult.

So wanting to go to the Imperial Capital Domain not only required multiple ultra-long-distance teleportations, but also a fixed road.

This road had existed since the Ancient Emperor period, and it was an ancient path.

The seven enclaves of the human race were built on this ancient path, which was also the reason why the Seventh Prince and King Tianlan's army could come from the Imperial Capital to Shenglan in a short time.

But the super teleportation arrays of the seven enclaves, if they wanted to be opened, required both sides to agree.

One-way operation could not teleport.

So the use of teleportation arrays from the Imperial Capital and going to the Imperial Capital was different.

The former was strong, could make all counties on the way teleport, prepare and open at the fastest speed, and had the authority to control both sides.

But the latter did not have this right.

And this kind of cross-domain super teleportation required a long preparation time for each opening, and the consumption was terrifying; all of this needed Xu Qing and his group to be responsible for themselves.

Fortunately, they had an imperial edict, and now the status of the Shenglan Domain was extraordinary, so communication could be much more convenient.

As for this kind of teleportation array in the Shenglan Domain, naturally there was one; it was originally built in Anping State of Fenghai County, occupying a small half of the state's range.

It had only been opened once in these years.

That was the arrival of the Seventh Prince that year, and only he had the authority at that time.

And then this super teleportation array was in a state of abandonment; the Seventh Prince was also unwilling to go, so a second one was built in the Shenglan Domain.

King Tianlan's arrival used the teleportation array built by the Seventh Prince.

At this moment, Xu Qing and his group were standing on this vast teleportation array built by the Seventh Prince.

This array range was a small half of a state, and one couldn't see the boundary at a glance; the ground was completely paved with green jade, and there were countless runes on it.

With the glowing of the green jade and the shining of the runes, the rumbling sound shook heaven and earth, echoing in all directions like thunder; this vast array was covered by dazzling light.

Its brightness was as strong as the sun, and while dazzling, the array also accelerated its operation.

When this array was about to open, in the crowd, the Captain was full of expectation; for this trip to the Imperial Capital Domain, he had his own plans and arrangements.

"Imperial Capital Domain, I haven't been there in this life yet; although I've been there a few times in previous lives, every grave robbery failed."

"This time, let's see if I can succeed."

The Captain licked his lips, a touch of madness appearing in his eyes.

Wu Jianwu stood beside the Captain, and seeing the light in the Captain's eyes, he snorted coldly and raised his head arrogantly.

"The hero in the boiling sea of fire, I go to the Imperial Capital to worship the ancient heroes!"

The biggest reason he agreed to go with Xiang Ningyan this time was that he wanted to see the Imperial Palace of the Profound Heaven Ancient Emperor and see if there were any poetic traces of the Ancient Emperor there.

He believed that his poetry had reached a bottleneck, and he needed to pursue more traces of the Ancient Emperor, so that he could truly move toward the Ancient Emperor he worshipped.

Thinking of this, light also appeared in Wu Jianwu's eyes.

Xiang Ningyan noticed the light in the eyes of the Captain and Wu Jianwu, but didn't care; at this moment, his mood was quite turbulent, and he had many emotions.

Thinking of the reason why he secretly escaped back then, and thinking of that cold Imperial Capital, he actually didn't want to go back very much in his heart, but not going back was obviously unrealistic.

"With the Boss, I should be fine."

Xiang Ningyan took a deep breath and instinctively looked at Xu Qing standing in the distance.

Beside Xu Qing, besides Immortal Zixuan and Kong Xianglong, the Sword-Holding Palace Master Li Yunshan was also there, speaking to Xu Qing.

"Domain Master, going to the Imperial Capital Domain requires experiencing seven super teleportations, passing through six other human counties, until finally teleporting into the Imperial Capital Domain."

"This kind of super teleportation will make people feel very uncomfortable, so after each teleportation, a short rest is needed."

"The destination of our first teleportation is Tai'an County, which is located in the Aodong Domain; this domain has quite a contradiction with our human race, so this Tai'an County, in fact, has not been peaceful for many years."

Li Yunshan knew that he was responsible for the security of the journey, so he had studied this for a long time; at this moment, his words and expression were calm.

"However, Tai'an County and our Fenghai County occasionally have dealings, and this communication was also very smooth; they have already opened the authority, so we can teleport over."

"Next, the teleportation array is about to unfold."

"For the sake of stability, this teleportation will be in three batches; the first batch is me taking the Sword-Holders, the second batch is the Domain Master's close people, and finally, the Domain Master."

Xu Qing nodded politely; he had no objection to Li Yunshan's arrangement; at this moment, gazing at this familiar world, he felt expectation for the trip to the Imperial Capital.

Beside him, Immortal Zixuan smiled slightly and held Xu Qing's hand.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze; when he looked at Immortal Zixuan, the green light erupted heaven-shakingly from the array, and the rumbling sound was even more intense than ever before; the first batch of teleportation opened.

The wind raised by the teleportation operation blew up Immortal Zixuan's green hair, making her beautiful face clearly reflected in Xu Qing's eyes.

After a long while, the storm weakened, and Immortal Zixuan's voice came softly.

"Xu Qing, I have a premonition that this trip to the Imperial Capital will be of extraordinary significance to you."

Immortal Zixuan looked into Xu Qing's eyes, smiled gently, and disappeared from the array in the second flash of green light, along with the figures of the Captain, Xiang Ningyan, and others.

Finally, in the entire array, only Xu Qing stood there.

He took a deep breath and looked at the sky.

In the sky, Old Nine's figure walked out, gazing at Xu Qing.

He would not accompany Xu Qing to the Imperial Capital; a fledgling eagle wants to grow, and cannot always follow by the side of the elder; sometimes, letting go will lead to sublimation at another level.

This truth, he had told Xu Qing.

Xu Qing understood, cupped his fists and bowed toward the sky, and bowed again toward the direction of Fenghai County.

The green light shone, turning into a sea of light, submerging everything.

After a long while, with the dissipation of the sea of light and the calming of the array, Xu Qing's figure had disappeared from the array.

Old Nine turned and walked toward Jiyue.

At the same time, in the pavilion of the Fenghai County capital, Seventh Uncle stood there, looking at the direction of the teleportation array; that feeling of watching children go on a long journey made his expression somewhat melancholy.

"The Boss courted death in his previous lives, so he should know the depth of the Imperial Capital, so don't worry about it; if he continues to court death, then if he dies, he dies."

"As for Fourth... he should indeed make a trip to the Imperial Capital."

"Some history of the Wanggu Continent, I know, is more profound than what he will see in the Imperial Capital."

"Especially, regarding the matter of Xia Immortal."

Seventh Uncle murmured and closed his eyes.
