Chapter 234: The Super-Male Constitution Seventh Purple Ball (6k)
"Subsequently, I vented properly, and even with his help, I successfully possessed someone with Nascent Soul cultivation, not only avenging myself but also possessing my current cultivation and status."
Gao Xuan opened his eyes slightly, his eyes full of complex emotions.
"I originally thought I would repay his kindness wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect that as time passed, I slowly discovered that Nannan's death seemed to have something to do with him."
"And he being able to find me was definitely not accidental; currently, I have only discovered some clues, and the specific situation has not yet been investigated clearly."
After hearing this, Zhou Qing finally had a preliminary understanding of this matter.
And today Shibo Gao Xuan found him and told him so frankly, presumably there were many considerations behind it.
If he didn't guess wrong, Sect Master Shibo should have given a lot of help in secret over the years.
But the next moment, Gao Xuan turned around, looked at Zhou Qing, and said solemnly: "I originally thought I hid well enough, but after the battle of Canglan Mountain, I feel he should have already become suspicious of me."
"But what's strange is that so many years have passed, he has never looked for trouble with me, and even hasn't arranged any tasks for me for a long time."
It could be seen that besides confusion, Shibo Gao Xuan was also a bit uneasy.
Zhou Qing also frowned tightly; this kind of person who doesn't play by the rules is often the most terrifying.
"So, Nannan's corpse is in the Cangyan Dao Palace?" Zhou Qing's expression was solemn, his gaze fixed on Gao Xuan as he asked.
Gao Xuan nodded, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch slightly.
"That time, the box brought back by Old Five Tan Qiang contained a child's finger; at that moment, I was really scared." Gao Xuan's voice trembled.
Zhou Qing heard this, his hands subconsciously clenched tightly.
So, is this considered a warning?
"Fortunately, it wasn't, and Wu Sha, who is the middleman between me and Si Kong Yan, told me to continue lurking, and said that if I performed well, I would have a chance to bring back Nannan's corpse."
Gao Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly; I'm afraid even the other party doesn't believe these words.
After hearing this, Zhou Qing only felt a dullness in his heart, making him unable to breathe.
He looked at Gao Xuan silently, but didn't know how to comfort him.
"So that time the Tianji Sect's Four Flowers Gathering at the Top formation disk, was it made by you?" Zhou Qing asked after calming his mood slightly.
Gao Xuan nodded slightly, a trace of imperceptible fatigue in his eyes.
Seeing this, all the confusion in Zhou Qing's heart finally had an answer at this moment.
"By the way, Shibo, have you ever heard the name Lin Jin?" Zhou Qing suddenly thought of something and asked.
Gao Xuan heard this, shook his head slowly, and asked back: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Qing saw this and said: "Nothing."
Since Shibo had never heard of this name, perhaps it was really his overthinking.
For the specifics, we'll see if he can successfully bind him with 【Heart Appraisal Vision】 next time.
"Actually, there is one last thing I haven't figured out, please Shibo enlighten me!" Zhou Qing paused and said earnestly.
Gao Xuan didn't speak.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath and said slowly: "In the battle of Canglan Mountain, clearly the Cangyan Dao Palace backstabbed the ally Tianji Sect, making them even weaker. But Xuanji Zi and the others still chose to attach themselves; why is this? Or rather, have you and the Sect Master found any clues over the years?"
Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing, the sadness in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by undisguised appreciation.
"You being able to think of this layer is not bad. But we haven't investigated the specific reason either, but there is a guess." Gao Xuan pondered and said.
Zhou Qing heard this and hurriedly asked: "What?"
Gao Xuan said: "The Cangyan Dao Palace seems to have some handle in the hands of the Tianji Sect, or rather, something that makes the Cangyan Dao Palace have to compromise on some matters."
Zhou Qing heard this, and his heart was even more confused.
So this is where the Tianji Sect is fearless?
But the Cangyan Dao Palace is far stronger than the Tianji Sect; with Si Kong Yan's strength and means, he would actually let this situation of being constrained continue to this day?
Can't figure it out, and can't understand it.
Just at this moment, Gao Xuan seemed to have sensed something, his expression moved, and he took out the communication token to look at it.
"Sect Master Shixiong is calling me, saying Immortal Xuanyou has come to visit and has something to discuss."
Gao Xuan looked at Zhou Qing, a trace of gratification in his eyes.
"You are the second person I am willing to confide in besides the Sect Master!"
Zhou Qing heard this, his heart was indescribably complex, and he saluted: "The disciple understands!"
Gao Xuan nodded and left.
Zhou Qing sighed deeply; it turns out that not everyone lives as easily and freely as they appear on the surface.
Subsequently, he was led by Qi Sheng down the mountain and returned to Little Spirit Peak.
I wonder if Er Daye has shaken them off yet?
Now, the cultivation insights of the three formation masters, as well as the jade slip gifted by Zhang Wanbao, he had completely mastered.
For a time, he was actually a bit lost, not knowing what to do.
"There is also the Inscription-level divine ability!" Soon, he remembered something, took out the scroll, and looked at it.
However, he still shook his head helplessly.
This thing, according to what Er Daye said, out of ten Soul Severance realm experts, nine haven't seen it, let alone cultivated it.
Before, he copied it from the forbidden area of Number Six, and until now, he simply couldn't get started; the content was too obscure and difficult to understand.
"Forget it, rather than racking my brains, it's better to find a way to plant the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree alive!"
Zhou Qing just put away the scroll, but suddenly frowned, and immediately took out the token of the Divine Ruins Heavenly Palace.
He saw that the token was actually emitting ripples strangely, rippling out in circles.
Soon, he saw a purple light spot he had never seen before appearing, blinking.
Zhou Qing was stunned and soon reacted.
"This is, a newcomer has arrived?"
"Is this... someone new has arrived?"
Sure enough, the next moment, he saw the No. 4 Green Ball, No. 5 Cyan Ball, and No. 6 Blue Ball all appear together.
"It seems that when I entered the Shenxu Tiangong back then, I must have looked like this too," Zhou Qing muttered to himself, not knowing why he was inexplicably excited.
He then hurriedly took out spirit stones to replenish energy, and his spiritual sense entered instantly.
When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in the pitch-black space, and the huge vortex in front was still rotating slowly.
Around the vortex, there were four giant screens with frozen images floating, and it seemed the fifth one hadn't been born yet.
Zhou Qing hurriedly looked over and saw that next to the No. 6 Blue Ball, a purple light ball had appeared.
At the same time, on the purple ball, there was an ancient character 【Seven】.
"Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!" The No. 4 Green Ball was the first to shout a welcome, appearing extremely enthusiastic.
There are nine tokens for the Shenxu Tiangong in total, and now five have been collected; only one more is needed to open the second layer.
If all nine are collected, they can directly hold an offline gathering and open the third layer of the Shenxu Tiangong.
And the true major opportunity is hidden in the third layer.
"Ahem, I am Gongsun Liu; may I ask what your name is, Excellency? And where are you now?" The Green Ball asked again.
Zhou Qing was speechless; this guy was exactly the same as he was when he first came in, unable to wait to fish for information, not even changing his script.
As for the No. 5 Cyan Ball and No. 6 Blue Ball, including Zhou Qing's No. 1 Red Ball, none spoke, but quietly looked at the purple ball.
The purple ball seemed to be looking around, then fixed its gaze on the No. 4 Green Ball and said coldly, "Go to hell!"
As soon as the voice, which couldn't be distinguished as male or female, came out, everyone was stunned.
Immediately after, the No. 5 Cyan Ball couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Even Zhou Qing almost couldn't hold it in.
He didn't expect the No. 7 Purple Ball to be so simple and crude, not leaving anyone any face at all.
Serves him right!
At this moment, the No. 4 Green Ball was clearly stunned too, and immediately became angry from embarrassment, striking back: "What kind of attitude is that? I kindly welcomed you, and you, you, you..."
"Want to know my name? Fine, if you can answer this question of mine, I'll tell you!" The purple ball said unhurriedly.
At this moment, although the Green Ball was angry, he still suppressed his rage, gnashing his teeth: "Damn it, say it."
Zhou Qing and the others also became interested and did not interrupt.
The No. 7 Purple Ball said: "Once upon a time, a little white rabbit got lost in the forest and soon met a little black rabbit, asking how to get out."
"The little black rabbit said, 'If you let me have some fun, I'll tell you,' and the little white rabbit agreed."
"But as it walked, it got lost again and asked a little gray rabbit. The little gray rabbit said, 'If you let me have some fun, I'll tell you,' and the little white rabbit agreed."
"Finally, the little white rabbit walked out of the forest and became pregnant, giving birth to a little rabbit. May I ask, what color is that little rabbit?"
Upon hearing this, the few fell into deep thought.
"Multi-colored?" The Green Ball blurted out.
The purple ball shook its head.
"White?"
"Black?"
"Gray?"
Seeing that the purple ball still shook its head, the Green Ball felt this was clearly playing with him. Just as he was about to speak, the No. 7 suddenly said: "Do you want to know what color it is?"
The Green Ball suppressed his anger and squeezed words through his teeth: "I want to know, say it."
"If you let me have some fun, I'll tell you!" The No. 7 said leisurely.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire space fell into silence.
Zhou Qing was the first to laugh out loud, followed by No. 5 and No. 6.
And the Green Ball, who had realized what happened, besides feeling a chill, was so angry that he trembled all over, his face turning livid.
"If you have the ability, report your address!" The Green Ball roared angrily.
In all these years, he had never suffered such humiliation.
The No. 7 didn't care at all, responding leisurely: "I don't have the ability; if you have the ability, come over and deal with me now."
Watching the Green Ball, who was frustrated and helpless, a sense of satisfaction inexplicably welled up in Zhou Qing's heart.
However, this newcomer No. 7 seems to have a super-aggressive personality, igniting at a touch and exploding at a poke.
It's better to talk to him less in the future; if he gets roasted, he'll only be able to go home and sulk by himself.
"Welcome, No. 7!" But unexpectedly, the No. 6 Blue Ball suddenly spoke.
Followed by the No. 5 Cyan Ball.
Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment and said: "Welcome!"
And the No. 7, who had just roasted the No. 4 Green Ball, now seemed like a different person, turning to look at the three, his tone suddenly peaceful, saying sincerely: "Thank you all!"
Such a scene made the Green Ball angry again, but he could only stare helplessly from the side.
But just at this moment, a wisp of airflow suddenly protruded from the huge vortex, landing on the No. 7 Purple Ball.
As spiritual power intertwined in the air, this space finally welcomed the fifth image.
He saw a scarlet sky suddenly emerge in the image, with countless twisted, tumor-like cloud masses hanging low and wriggling, as if they would drip blood and pus at any moment.
The ground was not soil, but paved with densely packed, overlapping pale arms, every finger twitching and scratching like a living thing, making a "clucking" sound of bone friction.
In the core area, there was also a towering bronze giant tower, the tower body covered with bulging blood vessel patterns, and a huge eyeball embedded at the top, looking extremely disgusting.
Seeing this, everyone felt a chill down their spines.
Is this the terrifying forbidden zone that the No. 7 Purple Ball has come into contact with in his life?
No wonder he is so irritable and perverted; he must have been influenced.
"Eh, this image—" Regarding the suddenly projected scene, No. 7 was clearly stunned, somewhat surprised.
But soon, as if he had discovered something interesting, his sharp gaze looked at the cover of the image where Zhou Qing was.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
Seeing this scene, No. 5 felt a stir in his heart, as if he had guessed something, and asked: "Why, No. 7, have you seen No. 1's forbidden zone image?"
"Forbidden zone image?" The No. 7 Purple Ball turned his gaze to Zhou Qing, looking at the 【One】 character above, his mouth suddenly curling up, revealing a meaningful smile.
"So it's a fellow townsman!" No. 7 said with a chuckle.
Zhou Qing's heart tightened, his heart began to beat violently, and his eyes were full of vigilance, staring fixedly at the other party.
He has seen the scene inside the Taiqing Sect's cave heaven?
How is this possible? Ordinary people can't get into that place at all.
Who is it?
The Grand Elders?
The thirteen Peak Masters?
In a brief moment, various guesses came one after another.
And hearing that No. 7 and No. 1 were actually fellow townsmen, the other three light balls immediately became interested.
Just as they were about to ask, No. 7 turned his gaze to the forbidden zone images of the other three.
"Interesting, it seems we are all fellow townsmen; I've been to all these places!" No. 7 said leisurely.
The other three immediately frowned.
"So, you're talking nonsense?" The No. 4 Green Ball couldn't help but mock, his tone full of disdain.
Unexpectedly, No. 7 nodded and said: "Yes, I saw in ancient books that entering here is just to make oneself more mysterious. Just now, did your hearts skip a beat, were you scared?"
"Madman!" The No. 4 Green Ball cursed and exited directly.
Anyway, he had already seen the forbidden zone he needed to see, he hadn't come into contact with it, and he had offended him from the start, so staying was just asking for trouble.
Zhou Qing's expression was unprecedentedly solemn; others might think No. 7 was just joking, but he had a strong feeling that the other party might really be from the Lingyun Prefecture side.
Immediately, an inexplicable sense of crisis welled up in his heart.
You must know that the Shenxu Tiangong hides major secrets regarding a seventh-level cultivation nation; if outsiders knew and locked onto him in a small range, let alone a small Lingyun Prefecture, I'm afraid the entire Sacred Martial Empire would not escape the fate of extinction.
Especially since the other party knew the forbidden zone he had seen, but he had never seen the other party's.
Who is it?
Who on earth is it?
"You don't need to introduce yourselves either; I'm going in to try it out now, let's chat another day!"
After speaking, No. 7 plunged into the simulation full of expectation, and his image thus became a purple expanse.
In the entire space, only three light balls remained floating quietly.
"This person is not coming with good intentions, and his brain has problems; let's be careful in the future!" After the No. 5 Cyan Ball finished speaking, he also exited.
After hearing this sentence, Zhou Qing's heart jumped wildly.
Because not long ago, he had talked to Senior Uncle Gao Xuan about a person with brain problems, and he was indeed his fellow townsman.
But it's also impossible!
The other party seemed to know everything about the Shenxu Tiangong like the back of his hand, unlike him when he first came in, needing No. 6 to explain it to him in detail.
Even if he knew the forbidden zone he had seen, he should have hidden it calmly.
After all, what if he was exposed because of the Shenxu Tiangong in the future, wouldn't that drag him in too?
"No. 1!" Just as Zhou Qing was pondering, No. 6 spoke softly, "Please come in for a chat!" As she spoke, she pointed to her own forbidden zone image.
Zhou Qing nodded and followed her in.
Under the crooked-neck jujube tree, Zhou Qing looked at the paper money all over the ground and the shadowy black ancient ship in the distance, turning to look at her.
"First of all, congratulations; it looks like your seclusion has ended, and you've gained a lot!" Zhou Qing smiled.
No. 6 did not respond immediately, but stood quietly in place, her hazy figure leaning forward slightly, as if carefully examining Zhou Qing.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Qing felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by her and couldn't help but ask.
"You, you, do you know me, and know me very well?"
Zhou Qing was stunned.
"Why would you ask that?" Zhou Qing pretended to be calm.
No. 6 stepped forward slightly: "Last time you left, you specifically asked me if I liked eating lotus crisp, sugar-steamed milk curd, fermented glutinous rice balls, and mung bean cakes."
Zhou Qing's face instantly became sheepish, and he hurriedly said: "I was just asking blindly on a whim..."
"I like eating these very much!" No. 6 suddenly interrupted his words, her tone categorical.
Zhou Qing: "..."
No way, can Junior Sister Lu divine the future?
"You are so clear about my preferences; you must be someone around me."
"And last time you gave me the long-lost four-color formation 【Taiyin Refining Soul Formation】, used to trap that shroud; it can be seen that you know very well that I am a fourth-level formation master."
"And you pointed out that I should have someone refine the 【Ice Glaze Spirit Sparrow Ganoderma】 into 【Ice Glaze Spirit-Raising Pills】, which are of great use for the Soul Severance realm; therefore, you know that I am now in the Soul Severance realm."
No. 6 approached Zhou Qing while speaking, her hazy figure seeming to carry an invisible sense of oppression.
Zhou Qing smiled sheepishly and subconsciously stepped back.
"So, who on earth are you? This is very important to me!" No. 6's gaze locked onto Zhou Qing, asking again.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath and said: "I really don't know you; all of this might be a coincidence."
"I don't believe it. Today, you saw No. 7 too; I feel his actions are a bit extreme and very unkind. If he really is your fellow townsman, what if..."
No. 6 stopped mid-sentence.
Zhou Qing smiled bitterly in his heart.
Is this fearing that someone will find me, and then because I know you, indirectly find you?
You're thinking quite far ahead.
Speaking of which, the one with the biggest headache right now should be me, right?
"You helped me a lot, and I am really grateful to you. Since you already know me, perhaps we can meet, and we can even unite to counter No. 7's investigation of us, how about it?"
No. 6 suggested.
Zhou Qing chuckled.
Meet?
I just reached Divine Transformation, and back at Canglan Mountain, the old Peng King there, Xuan Yuan Shuo, was already in the mid-Soul Severance realm and couldn't snatch it from you.
You can even use your vast spiritual power to detect the hidden inheritance beneath the abyss.
This time, you even used the 【Ice Glaze Spirit-Raising Pills】; who knows, you might have even leveled up twice.
You at this moment are either in the late Soul Severance realm or at Great Completion, and as a fourth-level formation master in a fifth-level cultivation nation, I'd be courting death to meet you.
However—
Looking at the hazy No. 6 in front of him, Zhou Qing suddenly felt a playful urge.
"Meeting is out of the question, but there is one thing I want to ask you." Zhou Qing's mouth curled up slightly, a flash of cunning in his eyes as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, the outline of No. 6, which had been emitting a faint light, seemed to dim instantly, her tone full of disappointment as she said softly: "Please go ahead."
Zhou Qing paused slightly, then said slowly: "Many years ago, who was the person who visited Situ Jiuyao with you? You should have only condensed eight thousand spirit seals at that time."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Qing clearly saw No. 6's originally hazy body tremble violently.
She was even staring at him with an incredible gaze.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and the entire space fell into dead silence.
After a long while, No. 6 slowly spoke, her voice trembling with shock: "You really do know me..."
Zhou Qing was just about to say something, but unexpectedly, she suddenly laughed.
"When the true is false, the false is also true; I probably know who you are. After all, not many people know about visiting Master Situ. I think we will meet soon!"
After No. 6 finished speaking, her figure instantly became illusory and she exited directly.
And Zhou Qing, who was in her forbidden zone, was also repelled by an invisible force, then stared blankly at the space in front of him.
"She wouldn't have gone to find that person who admires her, would she?" Zhou Qing muttered to himself, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
He then shook his head and looked back at the purple light screen.
"Who on earth are you?"
After Zhou Qing exited, he repeatedly savored every word No. 7 said, to see if he could find any clues.
"Perhaps, there is another way!" Soon, Zhou Qing's eyes lit up.
You must know that the talent skill 【Heart-Mirror Vision】 had also risen to level five; compared to before, he had six more slots.
"If I can bind Sikong Yan, perhaps I can see something." Zhou Qing muttered.
It's just that he doesn't know if the notes will appear normally after entering the Shenxu Tiangong?
After thinking it through, just as Zhou Qing was about to set off to investigate Sikong Yan's movements, Cao Zhengyang unexpectedly arrived.
"Guess why Immortal Xuanyou and the others came?" Cao Zhengyang said with a chuckle.
Zhou Qing shook his head; he really couldn't raise any interest in other things now, and the most important thing at the moment was to exclude all candidates related to No. 7 as soon as possible.
Cao Zhengyang didn't seem to notice Zhou Qing's distraction and continued enthusiastically: "Marriage alliance!"
"Marriage alliance? With whom?" Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes widened, and his somewhat scattered attention was instantly pulled back.
