Chapter 723

This meeting with the Human Emperor came to an end for Xu Qing as he walked out of the Imperial Palace gate, but the storm in his heart was continuing to erupt, as if a wild beast was hidden in his body, wanting to rush out of the cage in his heart to tear everything apart.

He could only try his best to restrain himself, trying hard to make himself look as calm as he appeared on the surface.

He raised his head and smiled at the Captain and Immortal Zixuan who were waiting outside the Imperial Palace!

The Captain's thoughts were clearly attracted by him, not as delicate as Immortal Zixuan, so Immortal Zixuan just glanced at Xu Qing and chose to leave with him.

And the Captain stayed behind, saying he was waiting for Xiang Ningyan, but Xu Qing, looking at the Captain's longing gaze as he stared at the Ancient Emperor Star, knew that every time the Captain did something big, he needed to collect various information. This gaze was clearly collecting information.

So he let the Captain stay. This time, Xu Qing's gains from meeting the Emperor were not small; the enfeoffment and the gathering of Qi luck were one, confirming the State Preceptor's identity was two, and obtaining the Imperial Sword was three.

However, Xu Qing felt he hadn't done well enough, and there were some problems in the handling of some matters. Most importantly, he couldn't stop his thoughts from turning at this moment, nor could he give himself free time!

Once his thoughts stopped turning, the killing intent toward the Ziqing Crown Prince deep in his heart would erupt like a flood breaking a dam!

And Immortal Zixuan sensitively noticed this point. Even though Xu Qing was hiding it with all his might, Immortal Zixuan still felt the great storm contained in Xu Qing's heart!

So she held Xu Qing's hand, just like when Xu Qing held her hand in the Immortal Forbidden Land, sending out her own warmth!

"Let's go home." The moment their eyes met, the wind blew their hair. Xu Qing was silent for a few breaths, and while walking, he spoke softly, telling Immortal Zixuan the process and details of meeting the Emperor!

Immortal Zixuan listened very seriously all the way until they returned to Xiang Ningyan's mansion. Before the lake shore, a gentle voice came from her mouth!

"Your handling the moment you saw the crow was already very good! I also agree with your guess; it's impossible for the Human Emperor not to know the crow's identity. There must be a transaction between them."

"And the Great Emperor's sword was unmoved by the crow; this doesn't explain anything. This sword is for the public, how can it be used for private purposes? It is more about sensing the changes in the human race's Qi luck to prevent catastrophe at critical moments!"

"The shortcomings in your meeting with the Human Emperor this time are all small flaws, no harm done!"

"The Human Emperor should be playing chess with the crow, each making their own moves!"

"As for your killing intent toward the crow, before you master the ability to kill, protecting yourself and holding back the killing intent is the key!"

"Our trip to the Imperial Capital is destined to be treacherous, and Ah Qing, you must know, you are not alone. In anything, I am with you!"

"To kill the crow, when the time comes, I will be with you!"

The lake surface rippled, fish jumped and splashed water, forming ripples that swayed in the lake and in people's hearts!

Xu Qing looked at Immortal Zixuan before him and nodded!

"Alright, I know you came back early for the elixir refining matter. Shall we go see your elixir furnace?" Immortal Zixuan's face revealed a gentle smile, the sunlight falling on her snow-white skin, as if turning into heavenly gauze, set against her beautiful figure, like a blooming orchid, incomparably beautiful!

Xu Qing's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate. He let Immortal Zixuan hold his hand and went to the elixir room. Looking at the entire furnace of elixir burning in the elixir room without damage, the last stone in Xu Qing's heart was also put down! Time passed, dusk arrived, and this day was also a Red Glow Day!

The insight time of the Ancient Emperor was originally a whole day, but because of the opening of the second seal, this time was shortened, so at dusk, the elixir room ended!

News about the subsequent successful insights also spread rapidly. After Xu Qing left, three more people gained insight into the Heavenly Marquis inheritance, and even the Heavenly King inheritance appeared again!

It was the Tenth Imperial Prince.

This matter caused quite a stir!

As for Xiang Ningyan, he gained nothing from the inheritance!

But when he returned, Xiang Ningyan didn't show any dejection; on the contrary, he held his head high. Clearly, Xu Qing's matter here made him feel honored!

However, deep in his eyes, there was still quite a bit of disappointment hidden!

Proving himself before his father was also something he had always longed for in his heart!

Xu Qing had things on his mind and couldn't comfort him!

So that night, many people in the mansion were sleepless!

Xu Qing and Immortal Zixuan were refining elixirs. The elixir Immortal Zixuan needed had reached the final stage in the elixir room. If successful, it would be done in at most one night.

The Captain was deep in thought, taking out jade slips to record, and even drew many patterns, surrounding what he saw on the Ancient Emperor Star today, and began to study!

For him, this was a rare thing. Before, every time he did something big, although he would collect information, he rarely had any plan, but this time it was different. After all, he had died on the Ancient Emperor Star many times in many lives because of failure!

And Xiang Ningyan spent this night in the ancestral hall. He sat cross-legged there, looking at his mother's portrait, whispering about the past after his mother left. Every sentence didn't contain the word "miss," but every sentence contained longing!

Kong Xianglong was also silent about Xu Qing's matter today. He heard about it and saw it from afar. While blessing him in his heart, there were also requirements for himself in his hands!

He couldn't allow himself to be pulled too far behind!

Only the heartless Wu Jianwu lay there that night, too lazy to cultivate, sleeping soundly!

A night without words!

When the morning sun rose and a new day arrived, everyone's thoughts disappeared with the departure of the dark night. Xiang Ningyan was in high spirits, walked out of the ancestral hall, and began to cultivate.

The Captain ran out in high spirits to continue observing!

Xu Qing also welcomed the completion of the elixir. With the opening of the elixir furnace, an elixir with golden patterns on a blood-colored background floated before him and Immortal Zixuan!

Immortal Zixuan took a deep breath, her jade hand holding expectation raised, waved, and pulled out a compass!

This compass was something she had built during this period to help her reinforce her sensing. After taking it out, the blood elixir floated down and landed in the slot in the center of the compass!

The moment it was embedded, the blood elixir's light shone, sensing the compass violently erupting and beginning to operate, and Immortal Zixuan was also incomparably serious, sitting cross-legged, pressing her hands on the compass, spreading her sensing power.

In an instant, her perception was greatly enhanced. Everything in heaven and earth disappeared in her heart, only that lamp related to fate became increasingly clear!

Xu Qing sat cross-legged, guarding her while also pondering the next matters!

"Helping Immortal Zixuan find that lamp, this is one."

"Another is to go to the Imperial Academy!"

The Imperial Academy is the highest institution of learning for the human race. Since Xu Qing came to the Imperial Capital, he had heard about it more than once. Whether it was Imperial Princes or ministers, they all had the experience of studying at the Imperial Academy! Even the heaven-proud sons of many super sects wanted to have the qualification to study at the Imperial Academy!

To some extent, the Imperial Academy is actually like a sect, but it is a sect founded by the human race's orthodox sects. There, there is no distinction between wealthy families and portals; magic power and knowledge can all be learned!

"On the way here, the Third Princess once mentioned the Imperial Academy, saying that it studies schools, exists with thousands of large and small schools, each school has its own Dao, and speaks of its own created system and cognition of the world and cultivation!"

"Using different methods from different directions to explore the cultivation rise path most suitable for the human race today!"

"All schools have no threshold. As long as you have the qualification of the Imperial Academy, you can join whichever school you want, and there is even better discussion and learning, so regardless of identity background."

"Because the location of the Imperial Academy is a special space, those who enter there will have Imperial Academy Daoist robes and masks, which can cover all auras, and they are not allowed to speak their identity. Only when they graduate will they reveal their true self, so in the Imperial Academy, if you have ability, you can also create your own school, provided you can attract students and get recognized."

"And the establishment and rules of the Imperial Academy were pushed by Human Emperor Xuan Zhan after he ascended the throne, overcoming all opposition, and he founded it himself. Over the years, countless cultivation techniques have collided within it, and one heaven-proud son after another has walked out. It is the revival place of human race thought, a hundred flowers blooming, and everyone can state their own Dao."

Xu Qing's mind floated with the Third Princess's words. Combined with his meeting with the Human Emperor, he couldn't see through this Human Emperor Xuan Zhan. What exactly were the big things the fox said the Human Emperor was doing?"

While Xu Qing was pondering, another thought rose in his mind. And was what the Mud Fox said definitely true? After all, she is a god of the Yanyue Xuan Heaven Race!

While Xu Qing was deep in thought, his expression suddenly moved, and he looked at Immortal Zixuan before him. Immortal Zixuan's eyes also opened at this moment, revealing a trace of confusion, and after a long while, she spoke softly!

"Ah Qing, I think I have found that lamp!"

Ancient Emperor Star!

After experiencing the seal opening and inheritance insight, with the end of everything, the clouds and mist there spread again, covering everything, becoming the same as before, flowing slowly!

Beneath the clouds and mist, inside this Ancient Emperor Star, one continent after another floated!

They moved with the mist flow, drifting around the star, and in the deepest core, between the clouds and mist, there seemed to be an imperial palace that was not clear, covered by mist, vast and supreme, looming, except for six huge pentagonal altars on it where the clouds and mist were thin. On the altars, five huge golden coffins could be seen placed at each corner. Each coffin emitted terrifying imperial Qi, containing supreme might.

And each had a shrine standing on it; there were no statues worshipped in the boxes, only spirit tablets!

Respectively written: Dongsheng, Sheng Tian, Jing Yun, Dao Shi, and the last one, Xuan Zhan.

This scene was like a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering mysterious ceremony that shocked Wanggu!

And in the middle of these five coffins, there was an ancient lamp!

This lamp was made of purple stone, like a blooming purple thorn flower, with a purple phoenix bird perched on it, its wings spread, lifelike!
