1136 Whose Ride Has Advanced
The crisis in Fenghai County temporarily disappeared with Chen Yangzi’s transformation into a candle and the Seventh Prince going into hiding.
On one hand, it was because of Old Master Seventh suppressing the rebellion extremely fast, but the bigger reason was the news that the Imperial City had been wiped out by the Sun of Dawn, spreading rapidly throughout the entire Holy Wave Large Region.
The various nonhuman races on the Forbidden Sea were shocked to the extreme upon hearing this news, trembling with fear. Their awe for Fenghai County surged to the peak.
Regardless of the race, they all possessed some negative qualities.
And the Sun of Dawn was specially useful against such negative qualities.
Its deterrence could crush all schemes and shake all hearts, especially… when its release made everyone see death.
No one knew how Fenghai County had created the Sun of Dawn or if they still had more left.
No one dared to gamble.
This was because when the Sun of Dawn first appeared, the first race to gamble was the Black Heaven. They suffered a huge loss and were close to extermination, warning all the others of the price of gambling.
If even the Black Heaven Race had to retreat in fear, there was no need to mention the other parties.
Hence, the nonhuman races who surrounded the Seven Blood Eyes retreated immediately. They also sent out apology gifts with an extremely respectful attitude, wanting to resolve the grudge.
However, how could things be resolved so easily? War wasn’t something that could be started and stopped just because you wanted to. Hence, Old Master Seventh personally went to many nonhuman races and signed a series of unequal agreements.
From then on, these nonhuman races’ statuses would be even inferior to the merfolks back then. They were firmly locked under Fenghai County.
In an instant, the might of Fenghai County rose illustriously in the entire Holy Wave Large Region.
Xu Qing’s name once again echoed in all directions, not only in Fenghai County, but also in the Forbidden Sea, the Nanhuang Continent, and the entire Holy Wave Large Region.
Many historians had a dazed feeling during this period of time. There seemed to have been a similar incident in this land in a bygone era.
That era belonged to the Purple Green Kingdom and belonged to the Crown Prince Purple Green who was equally famous as the Human Sovereign Mirror Cloud.
Now, countless years had passed and Fenghai County had risen. Xu Qing… had risen.
Because his name had the word ‘Qing’ in it, there were some races who guessed that Xu Qing might have the bloodline of the Purple Green Kingdom.
However, it was only a guess.
The moment these cultivators who had experienced countless life-and-death situations returned, Xu Qing personally led the people from Fenghai County to welcome them outside the city.
Most of them had thought that death would be their only home. They felt that it was impossible for them to return to Fenghai County again.
Now that they saw the Fenghai County Capital, some of them started tearing up.
Xu Qing looked at them and his heart stirred. He was familiar with many of these people. Among them were his comrades and friends.
One of the latter was Kong Xianglong.
Kong Xianglong’s injuries weren’t light, and his appearance was clearly more weathered compared to a few years ago. His personality had also changed.
The past unrestrained demeanor had vanished, replaced by a reserved and serious disposition, becoming the entirety of his expression.
Looking at him, Xu Qing vaguely saw the old Palace Master’s figure.
Kong Xianglong’s cultivation had advanced. As the former number one heaven’s chosen in Fenghai County, his cultivation had already reached the perfected Nascent Soul realm and was half a step into the Dao Nurturing stage.
This cultivation speed was second only to Xu Qing. From this, one could see that he had worked hard in the past few years and definitely had other opportunities.
At that moment, he was in front of the crowd and looked at Xu Qing. A slight ripple appeared in his eyes as he walked toward Xu Qing.
Xu Qing also stepped forward. Under the gazes of everyone and amidst the excitement and sounds of welcome from Fenghai County, Xu Qing and Kong Xianglong hugged each other tightly.
Immediately after, Kong Xianglong took three steps back and knelt on one knee. He then performed a Sword Holder salute and spoke in a deep voice.
“Greetings, County Governor!”
His voice echoed and the ten thousand troops behind him knelt down as well.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and nodded as he looked at these people.
“Welcome home!”
Cheers rose to the sky.
At this moment, everyone in Fenghai County was united.
On the seventh day after Kong Xianglong returned, Xu Qing received a message from Zhang San. His great wing had been built.
Building a great wing wasn’t something Zhang San could do alone. Hence, some time ago, he left and went to the Seven Blood Eyes. He even brought them to the Sea Corpse Race’s island.
With the help of the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo magic treasure, he forged a great wing for Xu Qing.
Although there were some twists and turns because of the plan of the alliance leader and the appearance of the nonhuman races in the Forbidden Sea, overall, the construction went quite smoothly.
Now, the forging was finally completed, and the only thing left was for Xu Qing to install the power source.
Xu Qing had a deep relationship with the magic boat that had been with him since he started cultivating. After all, in the past, he lived in the magic boat every day and it had helped him resolve dangers time and time again.
Hence, Xu Qing left the county capital immediately. He sat on the neck of the big bird, Qingqin, and rushed toward the Sea Corpse Race’s island.
Qingqin was very happy that it could go out with Xu Qing again. It kept cackling along the way, as though it was chatting.
Xu Qing was also in a good mood. From time to time, he would smile and speak, talking happily with Qingqin. Occasionally, Qingqin’s entire body would emit light. Every time this happened, Xu Qing would cooperate and emit rainbow light.
Qingqin became even happier.
In a day, they crossed the land of Fenghai County. When they passed by the Ghost Emperor Mountain, Xu Qing glanced at it from the sky and sighed with emotion.
He knew that his third senior brother was cultivating here. However, he didn’t see him after a brief look.
The current him was no longer the same as before. Hence, he was very clear how powerful the Soul Accumulation that could shoulder two large worlds was.
Even the heir only had a large world. Only Princess Mingmei and ninth grandfather had two.
As for the Ghost Emperor, he was clearly someone who was good at fighting like ninth grandfather.
Such a Soul Accumulation two worlds cultivator who was good at fighting naturally had even more terrifying combat strength.
“He’s not just two great worlds!” When Xu Qing stared at the mountain, he heard Old Ninth’s cold voice.
“There are still traces of the other three great worlds on his body. It’s a pity that the source was destroyed. He was an almighty Soul Accumulation with five worlds at his peak!”
“This person isn’t a cultivator from my era. He should be from the later generations but he’s peerlessly stunning.”
Old Ninth’s cold voice also contained a hint of emotion as he continued.
“The person who killed him isn’t a god but a ruler. Xu Qing, you have inherited a portion of his mantle. In the future, you might attract some karma in another region.”
“However, before you suffer the karma, his souls will suffer calamity first. You have to remember that if one of his souls dies, you have to return to the Moon Offering immediately.”
Xu Qing’s heart trembled. He glanced at the Ghost Emperor Mountain but didn’t speak.
Qingqin didn’t notice this at all. She brought Xu Qing away from the Ghost Emperor Mountain and flew above the Forbidden Sea until they arrived at the island of the Sea Corpse Race.
In the past, the most obvious things on the Sea Corpse Race’s island were the huge Ancestral Corpse Statues. These statues were incomparably tall and imposing, providing sufficient power for the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo magic treasure.
Other than that, there was the astonishing blood-colored ancient mirror in the air and the nine eyes that were closed.
Now, all of this was replaced by an even more majestic item!
It was a gigantic sphere that was comparable to half an island!
Its color was purple and its light was resplendent. One could see its earth-shattering splendor from afar. It was like a sun that had landed on the human world. It emitted endless light and dense flames burned in the surroundings.
The high temperature fused with the storm and spread in all directions.
Or rather, this… was a sun.
One could see hundreds of thousands of Seven Blood Eyes cultivators on the island. They were waiting for Xu Qing’s arrival.
The moment Xu Qing saw the sun, he was stunned for a moment and his expression became strange. As expected, he saw the captain’s figure beside Zhang San in the distance.
The two of them were talking about something. After noticing Xu Qing, the captain laughed and strode toward Xu Qing.
“Little Qing, how is it? Are you satisfied with this great wing?”
The captain spoke proudly.
Xu Qing’s gaze swept past the gigantic purple sun. He could sense the ancient sun that he had once tied to his body.
Back then, when the captain fought with Crimson Goddess, although he used the Suns of Dawn, he didn’t use the ancient sun.
Zhang San, who was at the side, smiled bitterly and sighed at Xu Qing.
“This wasn’t what I designed at the start, but the captain uttered that you like the sun… After that, he even took out a large sphere as the core and told me that it was the Sun of Dawn…”
“I didn’t believe it at first, but now, I do!”
After Zhang San finished speaking, he pointed at the purple sun.
“This item is a Sun of Dawn!”
Xu Qing remained silent.
The captain threw his head back and laughed loudly. His expression was extremely smug as he put his hand around Xu Qing’s neck and spoke loudly.
“In the future, if we go anywhere else, we’ll ride this thing and see who dares to provoke us. If we sit on the Sun of Dawn, we’ll definitely cause all races to be terrified.”
“Doesn’t your magic boat have to explode every time? It’s fine. This time, you can explode it casually. If anyone provokes us, we’ll f*cking explode it!”
“Also, I heard that some races in the Holy Wave Large Region are guessing that we don’t have a second Sun of Dawn. Now, who dares to say no? I’ll place this Sun of Dawn at their doorstep!”
Xu Qing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say anything. However, he kept feeling that while he would feel mighty sitting on the Sun of Dawn, the danger was too great. If this thing exploded on its own…
Moreover, this was different from the great wing he had imagined. This was completely a fortress.
However, this deterrence was indeed… extremely astonishing.
Qingqin, who was at the side, also took a deep breath and let out a cackling sound. Xu Qing understood that it was saying how terrifying this thing was.
“Little Qing, I already have a name for it. It’s named Purple Sphere. Look, this name sounds good, right?”
“Now, our Purple Sphere is just waiting for you to put in the power source. I know what you want to put in it. Haha, I also want to see what kind of vigor the Purple Sphere can display after merging with Crimson Goddess’ flesh!”
The captain’s eyes lit up with excitement, as though he wasn’t afraid of things blowing up.
