Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Three days later.

The Grand Dao Venerable's voice fell into Xu Zhangqing's sea of consciousness.

"My disciple Changqing, come to Tian Shu Xing at once!"

He did not hesitate in the slightest, immediately rising from the Spirit Bamboo Mat and flying toward Tian Shu Xing.

Here, it was still the same as before.

Golden Faith Power covered the entire planet.

The Law of Time was like an invisible net, covering every inch of land.

Xu Zhangqing passed through the hall door and stepped into the hall.

The Grand Dao Venerable still sat there.

High above.

But there was no one by his side anymore.

The only difference was that a Star Map floated suspended between the two of them.

The Star Map encompassed the entire Floating World Four Domains.

Beidou Star Domain, Four Directions Star Domain, Three Enclosures Star Domain, and Tianyuan Realm.

Tianyuan Realm is also called Tianyuan Domain.

One Realm, constituting a Domain of its own.

Seeing his familiar hometown, Xu Zhangqing was a little surprised.

After all, the first time he came he knew that whether it was the Grand Dao Venerable or the Nine Extremes Heavenly King and the others, they had long since forgotten Tianyuan Realm.

If not for his own arrival, they probably would not have paid attention to it again.

Then, Xu Zhangqing bowed and saluted: "Disciple pays respects to Master!"

"Qing'er~"

The Grand Dao Venerable did not exchange pleasantries, but asked: "How long have you been waiting in the Refining Void stage?"

Xu Zhangqing was slightly stunned, then replied: "A thousand years."

He had originally thought Master would mention Eldest Senior Brother's disappearance.

After all, this matter has an enormous impact on the entire Beidou Xianfu.

Yet unexpectedly, He did not mention a single word of it.

It looked like He was deliberately concealing it.

At this moment, the Grand Dao Venerable spoke again: "These years, you have guarded Yu Heng Xing day in and day out; Teacher has seen it all.

It is time to let you break through your realm."

Merely the Refining Void stage ultimately falls a bit short.

And these years, Xu Zhangqing has been law-abiding and content, either farming or activating the Creation Green Lotus, never causing trouble or stirring up disputes; there is no one more obedient than him.

Put anyone else in his place, staying in one place for a long time, and they would surely grow dissatisfied.

Worse still, they might just flee directly.

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "Break through the realm?"

To tell the truth, he had prepared to just keep farming forever.

When to break through the realm — actually, leaving it to fate is fine.

Living ten thousand years, tens of thousands of years, even a hundred thousand years doesn't matter.

Anyway, compared to others, his own lifespan is practically endless.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to be anxious about realm, cultivation, and such aspects.

Yet unexpectedly, Master actually brought it up on his own initiative.

But this reason, hearing it, doesn't seem to have any problem either.

Time, opportunity, realm — all factors are fully assembled.

However, Xu Zhangqing is no greenhorn.

He clearly understands that every single thing Master does is considered with great foresight.

Suddenly making him cross the tribulation must have a tremendous connection to Eldest Senior Brother's disappearance.

Most likely, it is simply that no one else is usable.

Today, Beidou Xianfu has only five Direct Disciples left.

Baili Hong is in seclusion.

Feng Buhui is in seclusion.

Ji Chen has only just returned.

Xun Xian is not good at combat.

Only Xu Zhangqing has nothing to do all day, and his Creation Power can reflect and cleanse the twisted power of the Outer Realm Evil Forces.

Forced by circumstances, they can only pick the tallest among the dwarfs.

The Grand Dao Venerable asked: "What do you think?"

Xu Zhangqing answered: "Everything follows Master's arrangement!"

The Great Dao Venerable nodded slightly: "The Convergence Calamity is no trivial matter; its power is formidable."

"Considering these years you've had no merit but have had hardship, Teacher grants you three choices."

"One, the River of Time."

"Two, Tian Shu Xing."

"Three, Qinglong Star."

Xu Changqing heard this and stared wide-eyed: "River of Time?"

One must know, the Great Dao Venerable himself commands the River of Time.

Crossing the calamity there means one can closely observe the Origin of Time.

For any cultivator who cultivates the laws of time, this is a dream opportunity.

But the problem lies precisely here.

First, although he is a member of the Beidou Immortal Mansion, and moreover the Great Dao Venerable's Direct Disciple, his outwardly cultivated direction is fundamentally not the laws of time.

Second, the Yuan Dao stands independent of all things; crossing the calamity in the River of Time equals revealing one's secrets without reservation to the Great Dao Venerable.

Of course, the Yuan Dao Heavenly Scripture contains a time system refined from the Eternal Night Scripture and the Creation Heavenly Scripture.

In that environment, perhaps one could truly learn some origin-level things.

But this option's risk is too high, therefore he dare not even think of it.

As for the second option, Tian Shu Xing.

To put it bluntly, it is also crossing the calamity under the Master's eyelids.

The benefits are undeniable; the other party personally sits in command, no matter how great the Nine Heavens Calamity's power, it can all be easily avoided, erased — a full sense of security.

However, safety is guaranteed, but the greatest hidden danger is precisely "safety."

Crossing the calamity here, the entire process the Great Dao Venerable sees from start to finish.

The construction of laws, the use of Creation Power.

Especially the operation of the Yuan Dao — these will all unavoidably be seen.

And once the Yuan Dao is exposed, what awaits Xu Changqing is not a Convergence-stage celebration banquet, but the same fate as the Lord of the Creation Dao.

It seems, only one choice remains.

Four Directions Star Domain, Qinglong Star!

This place, Xu Changqing's heart stirred.

He remembered the first time he set foot on Qinglong Star, at that time he did not yet have such high cultivation as now.

Yet unexpectedly, on Qinglong Star he obtained a gift from the Qinglong.

Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Qinglong Bloodline.

To speak frankly, these gifts came suspiciously.

Although the Qinglong did not state it clearly at the time, Xu Changqing felt it was the Master's deliberate arrangement.

Later, there was also no chance to investigate deeply.

But now, the only option is there.

Qinglong corresponds to the Wood Origin.

And on his body, he happens to have the Wood Origin.

If he chooses Qinglong Star to cross the calamity, the benefits are very obvious.

The Qinglong's Wood Origin and Xu Changqing share the same source; the law fluctuations produced during the calamity will be covered by the Wood Origin's resonance.

The Great Dao Venerable can glimpse from afar, but cannot directly see the details within.

Moreover, Qinglong Star is in the Four Directions Star Domain; although the Great Dao Venerable controls the Floating World Four Domains, his mighty power can only envelop the Beidou Star Domain — that is, the Beidou Immortal Mansion.

The farther out, the weaker the influence.

This point can actually be seen from the Tianyuan Realm.

Therefore, on the surface there are three choices, and the first two are both extremely tempting.

One is the River of Time, able to peek at the Origin of Time.

The other is Tian Shu Xing, directly sheltered by the Great Dao Venerable.

But for Xu Changqing, from beginning to end there is only one choice.

If he does not want to expose the Yuan Dao, he can only go to Qinglong Star.

"Master!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Xu Changqing bowed to the other party: "Disciple is not skilled in the laws of time; crossing the calamity in the River of Time I fear would cause mishap."

"Tian Shu Xing is the Immortal Mansion Hub; if the heavenly calamity spreads to this star, Disciple cannot bear the responsibility."

"Therefore, I can only go to Qinglong Star."

The Great Dao Venerable heard this and let out an "Oh," as if he had foreseen it long ago.

Xu Changqing did not conceal either, continuing: "Moreover, that Qinglong has some past karma with Disciple."

"When I first arrived at the Four Directions Star Domain, I received the other party's grace."

"And, the Wood Origin there is the most dense, greatly beneficial to Disciple crossing the calamity."

The Great Dao Venerable was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Granted!"
