Chapter 959: New Master of Lingyin

The great sun rose into the sky, lighting up the dark night, illuminating the entire Lingyin Forbidden Zone, and also enveloping the surroundings with light and heat!

Although it was not as good as the true sun and could not nourish all living beings of Wanggu, in this Forbidden Zone, the sun rising from Xu Qing's body at this moment was still enough to suppress the heavens and earth in its eyes!

The Forbidden Zone he gazed upon was roaring, and the river water was churning violently!

The firmament where he was located was distorted, and the earth beneath his feet was blurred!

The moment the great sun rose, he had already become the master of this place!

The strange substances belonging to the Lingyin Forbidden Zone were still trying to struggle, fluctuating intensely, and countless wails echoed from the void, including that puppet with a broken flute hanging around its neck!

This puppet's body retreated rapidly, its single eye revealing madness, emitting low roars from its mouth; it was unwilling to accept this and wanted to counterattack, but any action in this great sun's light became powerless!

At the critical moment, it even took off the broken flute and placed it by its mouth,

blowing fiercely; the sharp, ear-piercing sound tore through the sky, wanting to fight to the death with Xu Qing!

Although it had some effect, causing the great sun's light to dim somewhat, it was only for a brief moment, and everything returned to normal!

Only despair remained, causing it, with its chaotic intelligence, to appear briefly clear-headed, and bitterness appeared in its expression!

It knew that the Forbidden Zone had achieved it, but also limited its own growth.

Eventually, following the puppet's bitterness, the flute sound collapsed, becoming a residual sound!

Even that broken flute trembled, with several shocking cracks appearing on it!

And as for the puppet, its body echoed with clicking sounds, and countless fine cracks spread all over its body!

Until the immortal light circulated, illuminating all things; under Xu Qing's great sun, the puppet's body exploded with a bang, shattering more than half, and the remaining residual body was suppressed by an invisible force, falling from the sky!

With a bang, it smashed into the location where the core large tree had previously been, as if an invisible giant mountain existed on its body; any struggle was of no avail, and it was difficult to crawl up even slightly!

And the strange substances of the Forbidden Zone also calmed down following the suppression of the puppet; the river water stopped churning, and all things prostrated!

Only Xu Qing's figure walked over step by step from the horizon, standing before the puppet, lowering his head, and gazing!

The puppet struggled to lift its head, emitting the sound of wood chips rubbing against each other from its mouth, and the sense of clarity in its eyes gradually dissipated, returning to chaos and madness, staring fixedly at Xu Qing!

"Realizing that relying on the Forbidden Zone made it difficult to improve your own realm, so rather than waiting for the Remnant Face to gaze and ascend, you decided to gamble and break free from the shackles of the Forbidden Zone?"

"Thus, you had the parasitism of Li Zimei!"

"At the same time, you also paid the price; your own intelligence was covered in dust during this process, falling into chaos!"

Xu Qing spoke calmly, stating the truth he had seen!

The puppet's answer remained struggle and low roars!

Xu Qing shook his head, his gaze falling on the unconscious Li Zimei and Qingqiu nearby!

Qingqiu was fine; Xu Qing had arrived in time, so although her vitality was depleted, her foundation had not collapsed, and she could be saved!

It was just Li Zimei... she was already on the verge of death!

Her soul was already riddled with holes, corroded beyond recognition, and now she had been half-parasitized by the Master of Lingyin; it was both her tribulation and her life-continuation!

Once the Master of Lingyin died and that half of the parasitism disappeared, Li Zimei would also instantly have her soul scattered!

If this had been before meeting Fuxie, Xu Qing would have had no power to save her in such a situation, unless he sought the help of the Empress or

the Master; otherwise, he could only watch Li Zimei's difficult-to-change destiny!

But now, he had a method to change it!

The Dao mark of Xu Qing's right eye's erasure authority shone slightly; he lifted his right hand and waved it, and immediately a needle was taken by him from the void, shining with cold light before him!

This needle looked ordinary, but with its appearance, everything in the surroundings had a moment of overlap!

This needle came from the son of Fuxie and was a relic of that peak Great Emperor from the holy land where the other party was located!

It possessed the power to stitch causality!

It could be used alone, but it was slightly rough; however, if combined with the erasure authority, everything would be perfect!

Because under the erasure authority, the world in Xu Qing's eyes was different from what ordinary people saw!

He could see countless silk threads of causality!

At this moment, in his eyes, although the silk threads between Li Zimei and the puppet had been erased before, it was only temporary and had not completely disappeared, remaining in a state of recovery!

Once they completely snapped, given Li Zimei's current weakness, she would

die in an instant!

Therefore, Xu Qing prepared to connect other causalities for Li Zimei before cutting this causality, in order to continue her life!

The best causality was right before his eyes!

Xu Qing's gaze fell on the surrounding Forbidden Zone!

After pondering, he lifted his hand and waved it; immediately, the needle before him shone instantly, heading straight for Li Zimei, rapidly shuttling through her body, and beginning to stitch!

Stitching the causality between Li Zimei and this Forbidden Zone together!

At the same time, a rusty pair of scissors also appeared out of thin air above the puppet's head at Xu Qing's summons; controlled by the power of Xu Qing's erasure authority, it snipped fiercely!

With a click!

The causality between the Forbidden Zone and the puppet snapped instantly!

The puppet's whole body shook, emitting a shrill wail!

But because of Xu Qing's cultivation, this snapping could not be done at the root; it was only temporary, and the snapped causal silk threads were still trying to reconnect!

However, the needle that was stitching Li Zimei's causality with the Forbidden Zone was shuttling faster at this moment, transforming into countless residual shadows, increasing the stitching strength!

Just like this, after several times!

Following the final snip of the scissors, the causality between Li Zimei and the Forbidden Zone was finally completely stitched together, thereby causing the causality at the puppet's end to be severed at the root.

The puppet's whole body trembled, more cracks appeared, overflowing with a large amount of black blood, and it directly fell into a coma; the broken flute hanging around its neck dissipated!

And as for Li Zimei, the aura on her body rose intensely at this moment, merging with this Forbidden Zone, indistinguishable from each other, and her soul, riddled with holes, also began to recover!

Furthermore, a large number of branches spread from all directions, circling around Li Zimei; under continuous convergence, they ultimately formed a towering large tree!

Li Zimei, half of her body merged into the tree, and the face exposed outside was no longer distorted, presenting a peaceful expression!

And on her chest, a broken flute appeared!

That was the symbol of the Master of the Lingyin Forbidden Zone!

Xu Qing gazed, knowing that although Li Zimei was still sleeping, when she awakened in the future, she would become

the new Master of Lingyin!

"Li Zimei, I hope you are better, forever better, and always well!"

Xu Qing spoke softly, gifting back the final blessing Li Zimei had given him back then!

This voice fell into Li Zimei's ears; although she was sleeping, her body trembled slightly, her eyelashes could not open, but tears fell from the corners of her eyes!

They streaked across her cheeks and dripped onto the ground!

Perhaps, when she awakens, small flowers that she will never forget can bloom where the tears fell!

Xu Qing departed!

He took the sleeping puppet away; this was a gift he had prepared for the Ancient Spirit Emperor!

As for Qingqiu, at Xu Qing's wave, her unconscious body floated up, and she rose into the sky with Xu Qing, flying toward the Holy Heaven Treasure Pagoda floating at the peak of the sky!

Just as he was about to walk into the pagoda, Xu Qing paused his footsteps and turned to gaze at the distant heavens and earth!

After a moment, dozens of figures whistled over from the horizon!

Among them were the Great Elder of the Yinghuang Prefecture Sword Holder Department, those sent from Fenghai County, and even some powerhouses from the Litu Sect and the Taisi Daozi Sect!

From afar, when they saw the Holy Heaven Treasure Pagoda, each of them was shocked, until their gazes fell on Xu Qing, and the Yinghuang Prefecture Sword Holder Department immediately bowed in unison!

"Greetings, Venerable One."

Those who came from Fenghai County to assist were not people Xu Qing was familiar with; they were foreign cultivators recruited during Fenghai County's development over these years!

Although they had not seen Xu Qing's true form, they knew his portrait; now seeing Xu Qing, their hearts surged, and they immediately lowered their heads to pay respects!

Also paying respects to him were the Taisi Daozi Sect and the Litu Sect!

It was just that the former were clearly a bit nervous, while the latter were mostly worried; among them was someone Xu Qing had seen in his early years!

That was Qingqiu's brother!

He followed behind the crowd, belonging to the younger generation!

Seeing Xu Qing, his heart surged; he had learned from Qingqiu that Xu Qing was the "little brother" in his sister's words!

Although he had long known Xu Qing's current status over these years and had heard of his legendary experiences, now meeting him in person,

the surging in his heart still could not be suppressed!

His mind could not help but recall that dirty little child from back then!

Time flies, unpredictable!

Back then, he ignored him and left; today, he lowered his head, bowing behind the crowd, ignored!

After a long while, Xu Qing walked into the pagoda!

Qingqiu was taken away by the Litu Sect; according to the Litu Sect, they had secret techniques that could accelerate Qingqiu's recovery!

At the same time, they respectfully informed Xu Qing that their Litu Sect, although their former doctrines were related to the Holy Land, had long since unified and changed their ideology within the sect, and in the future, they would firmly stand on the side of Wanggu.

And Qingqiu would become the Saintess of the Litu Sect in the Eastern Wanggu Realm, going to receive the Siming inheritance!

As for the problem of the Taisi Daozi Sect, Xu Qing handed it over to the Yinghuang Prefecture Sword Holder Department; they would focus on the trial, and if the Taisi Daozi Sect had truly participated in assisting the Master of the Forbidden Zone to escape, then they must also bear the deserved punishment!

Afterward, under the respectful send-off of the crowd, the pagoda shone with seven-colored light and went far away to the horizon!

Everyone had different moods and left one after another!

And the firmament also slowly returned to the dark night!

The Lingyin Forbidden Zone was once again enveloped by strange substances, and within the core large tree, a faint flute sound was emitted...

Two days later!

Within Fenghai County, at the tribal land where the Wood Spirit Clan was located, above those countless towering trees, the sky rippled, clouds and mist overflowed, and the Holy Heaven Treasure Pagoda descended here!

The moment it appeared, terrifying pressure spread out, and the Wood Spirit Clan's Chieftain and Great Elder, along with other tribal powerhouses, rose into the sky one after another; amidst their shock and uncertainty, Xu Qing's figure walked out from the pagoda!

Behind him were Old Nine and Chen Erniu!

Seeing Xu Qing, the Wood Spirit Clan's Chieftain and Great Elder finally felt relieved and immediately paid respects!

After the pleasantries between old friends, Xu Qing stated his purpose!

Hearing that Xu Qing wanted to go to the cellar passage of the world where the Ancient Spirit Emperor was located, the Wood Spirit Clan immediately opened their tribe, cooperated with Xu Qing's group, and arrived at the pitch-black cave beneath their tribe's secret ground!

Standing at the cave beneath the ground, feeling the surrounding chill, Old Nine walked in with an expressionless face!

Xu Qing followed behind and stepped in directly!

Chen Erniu was full of curiosity; it was his first time coming here, and with a sway of his body, he stepped into the cave!

As the three figures whistled, they headed straight downward!

The aura of death spread from bottom to top, the cold feeling became increasingly rich, accompanied by bursts of inexplicable roars that seemed to come from the Yellow Springs!

Furthermore, repulsive forces appeared continuously!

However, for the three of them, these were insignificant!

In this rapid travel, the pressure radiating from them collapsed the aura of death, suppressed the roars, and shattered the repulsion!

They were getting closer and closer to the bottom of the cave!

"Little A-Qing, this is a good place!"

During the rapid travel, Chen Erniu's eyes gradually glowed, feeling the surroundings, licking his lips, and transmitting his voice rapidly!

"Not within causality, outside the Heavenly Dao, self-opening reincarnation, unique life and death..."

"Except for being barren, this is the perfect place to hide."

"Especially, I smell the scent of treasure."

Chen Erniu's eyes glowed even brighter, and he was just about to continue speaking!

But just at this moment, under the speed of the three, they directly

arrived at the bottom of the cave, instantly passed through it, and entered a void realm!

This realm was filled with mist, and it was difficult for the naked eye to see very far!

However, the current Xu Qing was no longer the same as back then; his spiritual sense spread out, immediately becoming clear, and he took the lead to guide the way, searching for that giant snake!

Along the way, Chen Erniu kept clicking his tongue, his interest in this place becoming increasingly intense!

Old Nine remained cold from beginning to end, not saying a word!

Just like this, after an incense stick of time, while Xu Qing was shuttling through the mist, his spiritual sense range suddenly locked onto a location!

"Hmm?"

Xu Qing paused his footsteps and turned to gaze in that direction!

Within his spiritual sense just now, he vaguely perceived a trace that was extremely faint, flashing past there!

This trace was ancient and hidden, carrying a trace of malice!

"No need to bother!"

Old Nine spoke coldly!

Chen Erniu also looked over, licking his lips thoughtfully!

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze upon hearing this and continued moving forward!

After a long while, he finally found the target!

It was a rotting giant snake, its whole body wreathed in a thick aura of death!

This snake was buried in the mist; while its body was filled with rot, it also carried a large world on its head!

This large world was blurred, with bursts of wailing sounds emitted from within, heart-wrenching, falling into Xu Qing's spiritual sense amidst the void and mist!

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing's eyes, and his body vanished instantly; when he appeared, he was together with Chen Erniu and Ninth Grandfather on top of the large world on the giant snake's head!

"It's here."

Xu Qing's body surged, and the three of them headed straight for the large world like meteors, moving forcefully!

Getting closer and closer, the giant snake's body also became larger and larger, and the large world emitting wails became increasingly clear!

Until finally, following the echoing sound of heaven and earth opening, the three of them broke through the barrier of this realm all the way and descended!

Familiar aura, familiar sky wreathed in mist; there was no sun or moon here, only ghost fires like stars, appearing and disappearing in the mist,

and the pale, dim light turned the heavens and earth into a blur!

The earth paved with rotting flesh had no mountain ranges, no trees, only endless death!

It was exactly the Ancient Spirit Realm.

Almost the moment the three of them landed, on a flesh-and-blood imperial palace some distance away, a giant eye floating above suddenly opened!

"Damn it, why did he come again?"
