Chapter 991

Xu Qing's voice echoes in the great hall of the Tenth Sovereign Mountain.

The Empress raises her head, her gaze falling on Xu Qing.

"This Divine Authority is supreme, especially the variable of luck, even I cannot see through it."

"I can only tell you that the Divine Authority of the remnant face's upper wasteland is Fate."

"You and Ziqing, one is a body shaped by the upper wasteland's flesh and blood, the other is a dependent of the upper wasteland who obtained a new life."

"At the same time, under that one slash of your Master back then, the Ziqing Upper Kingdom's destiny was plundered by you, making the return of the Ziqing Upper Kingdom incomplete."

"And your relationship with Ziqing is that of close kin in this lifetime."

"These are like the entanglement of Fate, and they will definitely converge at one point in the future."

"This is the theory of fixed numbers and variables, it is also the struggle between Fate and Luck, and it is even more the battle of choosing Fate between you and Ziqing."

The Empress withdraws her gaze from Xu Qing and gazes at the firmament in the distance; a flowing light seems to flash in her eyes, as if... she saw that day.

Subsequently, it dims somewhat.

Xu Qing is silent.

He sees the dimness in the Empress's eyes, but does not ask a single question, because whatever the other party sees is actually within the scope of fixed numbers.

Variables cannot be seen.

Since Fate is finally mastered by himself, the future also needs to be carved by himself with his carving knife.

Carving others' Fate, and also carving his own life.

Therefore, Xu Qing is calm, looks at the Empress, and bows.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the clarification. I wonder if there is anything Xu can do to assist you here in the Moyu Sacred Land?"

"If there is, Xu Qing will definitely do his best to complete it!"

The Empress hears this and nods slightly.

"Originally, there wasn't."

Xu Qing blinks, hearing the potential meaning of this sentence.

"But considering you are somewhat restless, from now on, you will just follow by my side."

"Three days later, I am going to West Moyu to visit the current Moyu Great Emperor in the identity of this Lu Lingzi, to discuss the details regarding the opening of the place where the Mingyan Great Emperor is in seclusion."

"At that time, you will go with me."

"Now, you can first rest outside the hall and recover your currently fragile soul."

The Empress raises her hand, and a medicine bottle and a jade slip fly toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing grabs them, sensing that there is a pill in the medicine bottle, clearly a pill for nourishing the soul, and the jade slip also has this use; a sense of gratitude rises in his heart, he bows again, and then exits the great hall.

Outside the hall, Xu Qing takes a deep breath, sits cross-legged, and swallows the pill from the medicine bottle in his hand.

The pill melts upon entering his mouth, forming strands of medicinal power that nourish the soul, merging into his sea of consciousness.

The effect of this pill is not bad; when it falls into Xu Qing's sea of consciousness, it is like parched land receiving rain, and withered plants obtaining new life; Xu Qing's soul, which had dimmed due to the World Source Secret Realm, recovers swiftly.

Three days pass.

Xu Qing's soul, under the effect of the pill, has recovered by fifty percent.

Although it has not completely healed, the impact on his combat power is no longer significant; next, it will need some time to nourish, and at the same time, the power of the jade slip also slowly manifests; Xu Qing has a premonition that in at most a month, he will be able to gradually recover to his peak state.

And the Empress, at dusk on this day, walks out of the great hall and steps toward the sky.

Xu Qing immediately stands up and follows behind.

Thus, under the Tenth Sovereign Mountain, the large number of Moyu cultivators gathered there, in this dusk, all see this scene that makes them worship.

The Sovereign steps into the air and leaves.

This is the first time Lu Lingzi has publicly walked out since ascending the Sovereign Mountain.

As for Xu Qing, who follows behind, he is also immediately gazed upon by all observers, and most of their minds are shaken.

Among them, some know Xue Chenzi, but more have seen with their own eyes the scene of Xu Qing paying respects to the mountain, and also had ripples rise in their hearts when Xu Qing was originally allowed to enter the Sovereign Mountain.

And now, seeing Xu Qing following with their own eyes, they immediately understand the meaning within.

He has become a follower of the Tenth Sovereign!

From now on, his status and position will be completely different from the past; if he goes down the mountain alone, he can even make these gathered cultivators down the mountain pay respects respectfully.

Thus, complex and unwilling emotions rise in many people's hearts.

But no matter what, these emotions must be forcibly suppressed and cannot be revealed at all; what can be revealed... is only respect.

Amidst everyone's worship, Xu Qing follows the Empress and walks toward the horizon.

The Empress's speed is not fast, but with every step she takes, heaven and earth blur, and the aura of a Sovereign is extremely obvious.

And the Empress's walking out immediately attracts the attention of other Sovereigns in East Moyu, and gazes carrying weight gaze across the air one after another.

Xu Qing instinctively restrains his aura, but seeing the Empress's composure, he also gains confidence.

After all, this is the peak of the Divine Platform, and she dares to go see the Moyu Great Emperor; clearly, the Empress has absolute self-confidence.

Since that is the case, following by the other party's side, he does not need to consider too much.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing looks up and becomes composed as well.

Just like this, under the gazes of other Sovereigns in East Moyu, the Empress takes Xu Qing and walks across the firmament; after a few steps, she leaves the territory of East Moyu and steps into the scope of West Moyu.

The moment she appears in West Moyu, more Sovereign gazes fall out of thin air.

For a time, the earth roars, the void twists, and traces of laws and rules shine in all directions; even at the moment the gazes arrive, there is divine sense sweeping domineeringly in this place.

It falls on the Empress without any politeness.

The Empress is expressionless and continues to move forward.

Xu Qing's expression is as usual, and he follows with his head lowered.

Although the number of Sovereign Mountains in West Moyu far exceeds East Moyu, with twenty-one of them.

Xu Qing can feel that these Sovereigns' gazes only sweep across him, and the focus is all gathered on the Empress's side.

This makes Xu Qing feel almost no pressure.

He only needs to be a good follower.

However, he also feels that the Sovereign gazes coming out of thin air contain ill intent, and such a strong posture is clearly also carrying warnings and contempt for this newly promoted Sovereign of East Moyu, Lu Lingzi.

This contempt naturally exists for a deeper purpose, so it is not just from the Sovereigns.

It also includes the Moyu Great Emperor of this generation.

The Empress's visit has no result.

After the Empress states her purpose, the Moyu Great Emperor's Dao Platform does not immediately transmit a summons, but instead, the disciple of that Great Emperor, who is also a newly promoted Sovereign, a middle-aged cultivator, transmits a decree to the Empress.

This decree has only one word.

"Wait!"

After speaking, this newly promoted Sovereign looks at the Empress with scrutiny and speaks coldly.

"Lu Lingzi, back then when you and I sparred, there was no winner or loser; now that you have also been promoted, why not fight again!"

As soon as these words are spoken, thunder roars in the firmament, and a sense of oppression descends suddenly.

The Empress's expression has not changed at all from beginning to end; at this moment, she does not even look at the disciple of the Moyu Great Emperor, but turns her head to look at Xu Qing and speaks faintly.

"Xue Chenzi."

"This subordinate is here!" Xu Qing bows immediately.

"Go and spar with all the 'Yunshen' under the Sovereigns in West Moyu; do not disgrace the name of my East Moyu."

As soon as these words are spoken, all the Sovereigns gazing at this place look at Xu Qing instantly; even the Sovereign who announced the Great Emperor's decree moves his gaze away from the Empress and looks at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's eyes narrow; he understands the meaning in the Empress's words; this is clearly letting him show off.

But Divine Authority and authority are his main lethality, so his biggest problem is that making a move will inevitably expose him.

But since the Empress speaks like this, it is impossible that she has not considered this point, so Xu Qing does not hesitate at all, a sense of killing intent rising on his body, and he accepts the order in a low voice.

"Obey the decree!"

After speaking, his body flickers, heading straight for the horizon in the distance.

The Empress closes her eyes and says no more.

And on Xu Qing's side, thoughts turn in his heart; on one hand, he guesses the Empress's way of covering up his way of making a move, and on the other hand, he recalls the understanding of West Moyu in Xue Chenzi's memory.

"There are twenty-one Sovereign Mountains in West Moyu; the strongest among them is the second one, followed by the first, the third, and the seventeenth."

"The Empress lets me spar, so the most suitable first battle..."

Xu Qing looks toward the north.

That is the direction of the Seventeenth Sovereign Mountain.

"It's there!"

"As for the Empress's way of covering up my moves, in all likelihood..." Xu Qing touches the jade slip the Empress gave him earlier.

He originally thought this jade slip was just for nourishing the soul, but now judging it, this object is nine times out of ten a cover-up object specifically prepared by the Empress for him.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing does not hesitate anymore, and while whistling, he heads straight for the Seventeenth Sovereign Mountain.

His speed is displayed to the extreme, and there is even the sound of sonic booms echoing in all directions; after an incense stick of time, the towering and majestic Seventeenth Sovereign Mountain appears in Xu Qing's eyes.

The moment he approaches, Xu Qing's voice is like heavenly thunder, exploding on this mountain.

"Xue Chenzi, under the Tenth Sovereign of East Moyu, challenges all Yunshen within the Seventeenth Sovereign Mountain of West Moyu!"

Almost the moment Xu Qing's words are transmitted, a cold snort comes from within this Seventeenth Sovereign Mountain.

"Chen Fei, go and suppress this child!"

All the Sovereigns of West Moyu heard the Empress's words to Xu Qing earlier.

And in their view, since Lu Lingzi herself does not fight and sends a follower, then... after suppressing this follower, Lu Lingzi will have no more reason not to fight.

So in the blink of an eye, amidst the echoing cold snort, a figure flies out from within the mountain.

This is a middle-aged cultivator, tall and burly, his cultivation aura formidable, shockingly having seven Great Worlds, with dazzling light flashing on his body.

At this moment, after his figure flies out, he pauses in mid-air, first bowing to the mountain, then turning his head to look at Xu Qing, his gaze sharp.

Then, with one step, he heads straight for Xu Qing.

Seven Great Worlds erupt, forming terrifying might, while Xu Qing is composed, his right hand raising, pressing remotely in the direction Chen Fei is coming from, then squeezing his palm.

Instantly, the Sound Authority within his body erupts in an instant.

The sounds raised around Chen Fei at this moment all turn into lethality, rolling backward, forming a huge sphere, within which the sound-killing turns into waves, vast and mighty, shaking everything.

Such means make Chen Fei's expression change, his mind rippling, but what he sees in his eyes is not sound-killing, but countless astonishing blood seals.

Every seal carries a thick bloody smell, contains extraordinary power, and combined with each other, has a sense of mystery.

Causing him to lose the initiative at the first moment.

So at the critical moment of crisis, the light of his seven Great Worlds flashes, his hands forming seals, and shockingly, seven different eerie statues rise ferociously from within the seven Great Worlds.

Swaying with each other, they all become real bodies, rushing out from the worlds they are in, killing toward Xu Qing rapidly.

Xu Qing is expressionless; the moment the seven real bodies approach, he disappears in an instant, merging into the sound, and when he appears, he is shockingly behind Chen Fei's main body.

Two authorities in his eyes shine brilliantly in an instant.

He sees Chen Fei's causality threads and fluctuates his seven emotions and six desires.

Locking his Fate with causality, turning ripples with emotions.

Shocking his mind.

Subsequently, the Xuanyang Immortal Light turns into a great sun, rising in the sea of consciousness, forming endless light and heat, instantly shrouding Chen Fei and suppressing him fiercely.

A booming sound rises to the sky; Chen Fei only lost the initiative in the Sound Authority, and then was passive step by step; at this moment, before his skills could be fully deployed, he was severely injured in the Xuanyang Immortal Light, and his body fell toward the earth with a boom.

Xu Qing chases instantly, approaching directly, raising his hand and punching, supplementing it on Chen Fei's chest, making his injuries even heavier.

And all this is a long story, but it actually happened in the blink of an eye.

Almost the moment Xu Qing displayed his Divine Authority and authority earlier, the jade slip gifted by the Empress merged with him silently and soundlessly, perfectly covering all his means.

Thus, the Sound Authority displayed on the outside became seals related to blood, the authority became Dao methods, and the Immortal Light Great Sun became secret techniques.

And ending the battle so quickly also makes the crowd of cultivators in the Seventeenth Sovereign Mountain who were watching this battle shake in their minds, having a moment of silence.

Xu Qing remembers the Empress's requirement, so he looks down at Chen Fei from a high position.

"You, too weak."

Between words, he kicks out, kicking Chen Fei's body toward the Sovereign Mountain.

Subsequently, he speaks faintly.

"Yunshen of this mountain, who else will fight?"

Chen Fei hears this, unwillingness rising in his heart; he still has many means he has not used, and his previous failure, in his cognition, was clearly his own negligence.

So he wants to open his mouth to say something, but with the landing of his body, the severity of his injuries makes him vomit blood again before he can even speak.

At the same time, a low voice comes from within the Seventeenth Sovereign Mountain suddenly.

"I didn't want to bully the small with the big, but since you, Xue Chenzi, requested it actively, then... I will come to suppress you."

Between words, a terrifying aura surpassing Chen Fei rises from within the Seventeenth Sovereign Mountain, and an old man's figure walks from the void.

This old man has red hair, his whole body radiating a sense of terror, nine Great Worlds, not on his body, but manifesting one by one behind his back; under the foil of this world, this old man gives people a sense of being infinitely close to a god.

He walks toward Xu Qing step by step.

Yunshen Nine Worlds!

Xu Qing's eyes flash imperceptibly; for Yunshen Nine, he has no certainty of being able to shake it, so looking at the cultivator walking over, Xu Qing shakes his head.

"You are also not my opponent."

"However, since you said the words of bullying the small with the big, then I will stand here and let you make three moves; if you can hurt me even a little, you win."

After Xu Qing finishes speaking, his body lands on the earth, his hands behind his back, looking toward the old man.
