Chapter 917: Clean and Pure
Omniscience is a concept that belongs exclusively to gods!
It is mysterious, and it is unfathomable!
In the hearts of many cultivators, these two words themselves even contain fear!
Because once one is omniscient, whether it be the past or the future, or even destiny, everything is controlled, impossible to break free from, and difficult to change!
And to a certain extent, this is also a word concerning scope!
Before realizing the divine authority of sound, Xu Qing's understanding of omniscience, while exceeding that of ordinary cultivators, was like that of a scholar compared to a newly enlightened toddler when measured against a god!
Not until this moment, when he truly mastered this divine authority through his own insights, did things become different!
The divine authority of sound is an important component of omniscience!
Controlling all sound!
At the same time, it is also one of the keys to opening the door to omniscience!
Compared to mastering this divine authority, the process in between was a more precious experience for Xu Qing!
It brought him unprecedented and immense inspiration!
So, this is what divine authority is!
Divine authority possesses life, yet it does not possess life; it is like a wandering, transcendent existence!
When you attempt to perceive it, it possesses life, it possesses backlash, and it will even invade your entire being!
But when you do not attempt to perceive it yet are still able to perceive it, its life will cease to exist!
This statement is somewhat contradictory!
If you understand, you understand!
If you don't understand, you will never understand!
Xu Qing murmured!
Accompanying the divine authority came countless pieces of information wandering at the level of divine knowledge!
This information was permeated with antiquity; some of it had utility, some was entirely disordered and contradictory, but regardless, the fundamental purpose of this influx of information was to inform!
To inform those qualified to use this divine authority how to use it!
This information did not exist naturally, but was a chaotic will, coming from the sea of consciousness of all those who possessed the qualifications for this divine authority since the primordial era!
Instinctively radiating outward!
Understanding this information and mastering this information is a long process!
And possessing the qualification to use it, until mastering its essence, and then becoming
the only one with this divine authority, depriving other gods of their qualifications regarding this divine authority!
This is the promotion of a god regarding divine authority, and to a certain extent, it is also the most important backbone of the divine system!
"Divine biological entities can be seen as a process of accumulating divine sources. When the divine source is dense to a certain level, the divine fire will be ignited, and one will become a god!"
"At this time, based on previous accumulation and insights, and relying on divine knowledge, one can realize a divine authority in the dark, which means one has the qualification to use it!"
"And mastering and understanding the essence of divine authority is the goal of the Divine Fire Realm. The process is difficult and dangerous, and once achieved... one will become a Divine Platform!"
"The three gods of Yanyue used the elevation of the divine domain to become flawless. Looking at it now, the focus of this elevation power is to help them master and understand the essence of divine authority!"
"Now that the path to the Divine Platform is open, this means they have actually almost completed this point and have almost completely understood and mastered their own divine authority!"
"And the Empress... with the peak of the half-step Sovereign realm and the addition of the clan's destiny, she reached the Divine Platform in one step, which also means she crossed the level of usage in that instant and arrived directly at mastery!"
"Being able to reach the Divine Platform in one step is extremely difficult. Even with peerless talent, Sovereign cultivation is only the foundation
for completing this step. Looking at it now, the Empress should have started studying divine authority a long time ago... perhaps the Sun of Dawn appeared because of this!"
"That is why she could reach the Divine Platform in one step!"
And the True Gods who are at the same level as Xia Xian after the Divine Platform... are those who have become the only one of the divine authority they hold, which is why there is the word 'True'!"
Xu Qing realized this in his heart!
These insights were obtained from the information of divine knowledge; they might be correct, but there is also a certain possibility that errors exist!
As for the specifics, he needs to verify them in the future!
But there is one thing he was once clear about, and is now even clearer!
Divine biological entities are like the Spirit-Containing stage of cultivators!
The different levels of divine fire are like the different realms of Sovereign cultivators!
"As for the Divine Platform, only a Quasi-Immortal Emperor can fight it!"
"And a True God, that is an opponent for Xia Xian!"
"Above the True God, above Xia Xian, that is the direction that both the divine and immortal systems are pursuing, but unfortunately... there is a path above the True God, named Divine Lord!"
"And above Xia Xian, there seems to be no predecessor; everything must be explored by oneself, and the direction is different according to different origins!"
"The reason why Xia Xian disappeared back then was precisely because they each went to pursue their own path of promotion!"
"And precisely because of this, this starry sky belongs to the gods!"
Xu Qing took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and stared at the black jade in front of him!
This piece of black jade had more cracks at this moment, and finally, without a sound, it turned into fly ash and dissipated!
"It's a pity that for the divine authority of sound that I have perceived, there are too many gods who possess this divine authority... this is an extremely broad divine authority!"
"And for the same divine authority, the more people who are qualified to use it, the more its corresponding power will be dispersed!"
"But correspondingly, if a unique holder can appear for such a broad divine authority, then its divine power will also be terrifying to the extreme!"
Xu Qing was thoughtful; his opened eyes slowly closed, and his entire mind was immersed in the fifth divine authority on the Ruins Soil!
The divine source in his body also surged away, turning into a hammer, striking it!"
A sound like a bell ringing echoed in Xu Qing's mind, but this sound did not spread outside his body!"
What spread out was only a layer of transparent and imperceptible ripples!"
Centered on Xu Qing's body, it spread toward the surroundings, and in an
instant, it spread past the ruined tower, past the sea trench, and spread toward the endless Forbidden Sea!"
In an instant, it reached a hundred miles!"
The countless sounds within these hundred miles all appeared in Xu Qing's divine knowledge at this instant!"
There was the sound of flowing water, the roar of fierce beasts, the sound of fish flicking their tails, the sound of gravel moving with the undercurrent... even the Forbidden Sea itself, surprisingly, emitted a sound like breathing!"
Eerie and long..."
Everything appeared within Xu Qing's divine knowledge; he had a feeling that it seemed as long as he wanted, all these sounds would be used by him?"
So in the next instant, the hundred miles suddenly became quiet!"
All sounds were deprived by Xu Qing in one thought and sent to a hundred miles away!"
Using their sounds, the ripple continued to spread..."
Five hundred miles, one thousand miles..."
Repeating the cycle!"
Xu Qing was like a child who had just received a toy, constantly trying out various ways to play with this toy, and also trying his own limits!"
Just like this, time passed!"
I don't know how long had passed, but the ripple that spread from Xu Qing's body, under these repeated pushes, spread endlessly!"
It had long exceeded Xu Qing's previous range of soul sense!"
During this period, countless sea beasts, a large number of divine biological entities hiding on the seabed, and even some boats on the sea surface were reflected in Xu Qing's heart, but without exception, they did not notice anything!"
Xu Qing did not linger on them at all!"
Continuing to spread!"
Until a scene appeared in Xu Qing's divine knowledge!"
Far away from where Xu Qing was, on a piece of seabed near the Corpse Prohibition, the terrain was similar to a plain!"
At this moment, on this seabed plain, there was surprisingly a huge formation that had already been set up!"
At the core of the formation, two figures sat cross-legged!"
These two figures were both wearing silver robes, and the exposed skin was like the surface of an octopus, dark in color!"
They had no hair, their facial features were human-like, and just by sitting cross-legged, they were each more than ten zhang tall!"
The cultivation fluctuations they emitted were the power of the peak of the second stage of Spirit-Containing!"
And through their special attire and the structure of the formation, it could be seen that these two came from the Holy Land!"
The facts were indeed so; they were exactly the arrivals from the same batch as He Feng, Lin Tao, and the others!"
The many arrival teams from the Holy Land were scattered in different regions of Eastern Wanggu!"
These two landed in the Forbidden Sea!"
And during this period, they collected enough information and resources in the Forbidden Sea, so they set up a guidance formation on this seabed to transmit signals to the outside world!"
Now, their respective cultivation bases were unleashed, wanting to increase the power of the formation to point the way for their Holy Land!"
It must be said that they were quite lucky; from their arrival until now, the process had been very smooth!"
They almost did not encounter any obstacles; even if they occasionally touched some powerful divine biological entities, they were avoided in advance under their investigation!"
Until this moment, seeing that everything was about to end, the hearts of these two were also slightly relaxed!"
But just at this moment, suddenly, a cracking sound came from one of them!"
The one that made this sound was a jade slip he placed in front of him!"
This jade slip was dark in color and imprinted with complex runes, made of special ink jade; during this time, relying on its flashing, it helped them detect danger in advance many times!"
And at this moment, the jade slip seemed to have no time to flash, and it shattered by itself very abruptly!"
In an instant, these two Holy Land cultivators immediately opened their eyes, and while revealing shock and suspicion, the cracking sound of the jade slip shattering did not dissipate, but instead turned into a storm in this place in an instant, sweeping toward them!"
The eight directions shook, the expressions of these two Holy Land cultivators changed instantly, and they retreated one after another, their spiritual sense immediately expanding to check the surroundings; one of them even formed a hand seal with his right hand and pointed forward!
Suddenly, a torrent surged from the surrounding seawater, manipulated by him to roar outward in all directions, churning up the sand on the seabed and shaking the dark rocks all around!
Searching for the hidden crisis!
Yet they found nothing!
Just as their hearts grew even more suspicious, a scene that terrified them appeared: all the sounds caused by their previous actions had not dissipated at all!
Just like the cracking sound of the jade slip shattering, it had transformed into a bizarre force, possessing astonishing lethality, and suddenly swept across the two of them!
The sound of rumbling echoed all around!
The minds of these two were in turmoil, and one of them immediately sent a voice transmission!
"There is a god here, watching us."
Even though it was a voice transmission, the moment it was sent out, the instant he and his teammate heard it, it transformed once again into bizarre lethality, causing the heads of these two to shake, their faces turning pale, and their internal organs churning!
Terror in their hearts rose along with it!
"This place has had its sound stolen."
This realization surfaced in their hearts at the same time!
Thus, they dared not open their mouths again, exchanged a rapid glance, and upon seeing the horror in each other's eyes, they fled upward at high speed without the slightest hesitation!
But the faster they fled, the louder the sound they stirred up, and the same went for the torrent!
Thus, the bizarre lethality transformed from the sound arrived once again!
It formed a rumbling sound, and by adding this lethality, it continued without
end!
At the same time, all the fish, all the sea beasts, and even the sand, the plankton, and even all the seawater in this area were now emitting their own sounds to varying degrees!
Some could be heard, some could not be perceived by the ears, but
that did not mean they did not exist!
Now, it was like an orchestra of the Forbidden Sea, playing a world-shaking melody, erupting all at once!
The lethality formed, rising continuously, overwhelming and unstoppable, suppressing them from all eight directions!
The rumbling sound grew increasingly intense!
These two Holy Land cultivators, their minds trembling, their complexions having long since changed drastically... spat out blood, each unfolding their own Great World!
Some illusory, some real, to resist the bizarre!
They even took out multiple magic treasures, constantly attempting to erase the surrounding sounds, and finally, after experiencing endless danger and enduring blow after blow, their clothes torn and their skin lacerated!
They finally rushed out of the seawater and reached the surface of the sea!
But before they could catch their breath!
More and louder sounds from the outside world descended suddenly!
The sound of seabirds circling in the sky!
The sound of waves traveling with the sea!
The sound of the wind was everywhere!
All sounds from the eight directions erupted at this moment, with unprecedented vastness, sweeping over everything!
Like a thunderbolt, the moment these two rushed out, they were directly enveloped within it!
Looking from afar, these sounds formed a huge sphere, with ripples constantly moving within it, revealing a terrifying might!
A voice, at this moment... echoed between heaven and earth!
"What are you doing on the seabed?"
Following the appearance of the voice, an elegant purple figure, like a god, actually walked into the world from within this sound!
He appeared outside that terrifying sound sphere, calmly looking at the two cultivators within, whose hearts were now filled with boundless horror!
As for the question in this sentence, no answer was needed!
Because the moment it was uttered, this sound merged into the sound sphere, roaring, and as it fell into the ears of these two Holy Land cultivators, they could not hear what Xu Qing was saying at all; all they heard was a blurred murmur!
This murmur grew stronger and stronger, and as it repeated, an ancient power came with the murmur, crazily and greedily spreading throughout their bodies, infiltrating their minds, and replacing their cognition!
It even stole the concept of their voices!
Their bodies, their souls, and even their very selves were stripped away!
The answer, naturally, was also among them!
Xu Qing took a step and walked into the seabed!
And on the sea surface, the sound sphere went bang at this moment, turning blood-
colored; the two Holy Land cultivators within were destroyed in body and soul!
The sound sphere also dissipated, and the sounds within it, carrying the lingering thoughts of the dead cultivators, returned to heaven and earth!
Clean and clear!
As for the seabed plain, on the array, Xu Qing's figure walked over step by step, gazed at this array..., and waved his hand!
Immediately, this place churned, and the array collapsed!
Xu Qing shook his head!
"Although it is destroyed, the signal was already sent out before!"
Xu Qing thought for a moment, took out a jade slip, and sent a voice transmission to Fenghai County and Huang Yan and the others to inform them of this matter, letting them prepare in advance!
Afterward, Xu Qing's figure vanished, continuing to sense his own authority over sound within this Forbidden Sea, while simultaneously searching for the Bronze Chariot!
Seven months later...
In the Eastern Wanggu sky, seven meteors appeared, shining with brilliant light, falling toward Eastern Wanggu!
One of them fell into the Forbidden Sea between Yinghuang Prefecture and Nanhuangzhou!
