Chapter 1552: Leaving Wanggu, Stepping Into Immortal Capital

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The appearance of the vortexes caused the sky above the Wanggu Outer Sea to flicker with lightning.

The red lightning was like red snakes that extended in the sky, enveloping all the range one could see.

It was as though countless red cracks had appeared in the sky, as if the sky would collapse and shatter at the next moment.

And these cracks seemed to hide ancient seals that kept changing and forming, as if an inconceivable existence was performing hand seals.

As for the thunder coming from all directions, they were even more shocking. Every sound formed an extreme explosion sound.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!

A strong wind blew over at this moment. It seemed to be endless and extremely violent.

The storm swept in all directions.

Other than that, under this shocking change, the seawater of this Primordial Sea churned intensely under the lightning and the strong wind.

It then surged endlessly.

The sound of waves hitting the surface of the sea was also earth-shattering and deafening, as though the sea was roaring at the sky.

At the same time, many gods in this outer sea opened Their divine eyes in Their respective resting places.

They all stared at this scene.

However, They didn’t stop it or reveal Themselves.

They instinctively restrained all Their auras.

This was because to Them, the vastness of this outer sea surpassed the level of life. This scene was the supreme divine authority of the Primordial Sea.

Anyone who interfered would have to withstand the power of the star ring.

And the drastic changes weren’t just formed in the outer sea.

At this moment, the inner sea and even the entire Wanggu shook. If there was a pair of eyes that looked down on the entire Wanggu, they could clearly see…

The large regions rumbled, countless mountains swayed, and rivers rolled back. All living beings were shaken.

It had been too many years since the opening of the Primordial Sea Passage.

If the method told by the clay fox was used, it would definitely not cause such a world-shaking commotion. The range would be much smaller.

Only by igniting the Star Ring Grass and activating it in the most orthodox way would it cause the Primordial Sea’s divine authority to activate.

The Star Ring Grass was extremely rare. Hence, this scene caused the clay fox’s eyes to widen and Her emotions to fluctuate.

Xu Qing didn’t expect such a commotion either.

However, at this moment, his attention wasn’t on the fluctuations caused by the opening of the passage but on the thirty-five huge vortexes on the outer sea.

His mind fluctuated.

Every vortex he looked at was about the size of a city and they were exactly the same.

Regardless of whether it was the range, aura, or even the speed and frequency of rotation, they were all exactly the same.

It made it impossible to tell which star ring the vortexes contained.

At the same time, what caused Xu Qing’s mind to fluctuate even more was that these thirty-five vortexes actually each emitted the power of time and space.

If it was any other cultivator, they might not be able to sense such details. However, Xu Qing was different.

His current immortal body cultivated the Ten Extremities Dao.

The top five extremities were the five elements, and the sixth extremity was the intrinsic power of Fishing the Moon From the Well. That was space.

The seventh extremity was the time formed by the Sundials.

As such, his perception of space and time far surpassed that of others. Hence, at this instant, he could sense that space and time were constantly surging in these thirty-five vortexes.

Vaguely, they formed a slight resonance with his sixth and seventh extremities.

This resonance caused the time and space in Xu Qing’s body to feel a tug. The fluctuations formed echoed in Xu Qing’s body.

All of this caused Xu Qing’s breathing to become slightly hurried.

He had a feeling that these thirty-five vortexes contained the secrets of time and space.

Just as he was in deep thought, the clay fox at the side let out a long breath. She glanced at Xu Qing and suddenly spoke.

“Not bad, little fellow. You even have the Star Ring Grass. That was somewhat unexpected.”

“However, the Star Ring Grass only opens the passage. Your pass token only provides a certain level of protection and guidance for you when you move forward, preventing you from getting lost inside.”

“But, upon entering the passage, the dangers that lie ahead are not just about getting lost; there is also the tearing force formed during the traversal of the star rings.”

“So, if you want to pass through safely, you still need a cosmic treasure. Although you have the holy vine, but…”

Before the clay fox could finish speaking, Xu Qing silently took out his Holy Heaven Pagoda.

He pointed at it.

Immediately, the pagoda shook and emitted a dense aura of the starry sky.

This scene caused the clay fox’s eyes to widen again.

“Your pagoda is quite interesting. It actually blocked my perception and made me unable to sense its essence… Its origin… is acceptable.”

The clay fox’s heart churned but She only blinked on the surface. Her gaze swept across the pagoda and She put on a calm expression as She continued to speak.

“What I said earlier isn’t the main point. Little fellow, you will have to choose accurately to use the Primordial Sea to head to the other star rings.”

“Since you’re so well-prepared, you must have a star ring that you’re going to.” “However, these thirty-five passageways are chaotic and aren’t arranged in order. Hence, if you want to find the correct passageway, you have to deduce it based on countless clues.”

“This consumes a lot of mental energy. I can help you, but…”

As the clay fox spoke, She licked Her lips and Her gaze turned intense.

Xu Qing glanced at the clay fox and silently took out the golden rat from his storage bag.

“I have a mutated beast. This beast is extremely rare, and the place I’m going to has its kind.”

The instant the golden rat appeared, under Xu Qing’s divine sense, it immediately looked at the thirty-five vortexes below. Its nose twitched and its body transformed into a golden light that rapidly flew above the thirty-five vortexes.

It only glanced at them, so it didn’t notice anything. It stood there and looked at Xu Qing blankly.

The clay fox smiled.

“It doesn’t seem capable.”

Xu Qing transmitted his divine sense.

The golden rat’s fur stood on end, glowing with a radiant golden hue. Its entire body surged with bloodline power, and around it, there appeared a distortion and blur, as if space was warping and time was slipping away.

This scene caused the beautiful eyes of the clay fox to narrow.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought and also gave some help with his Extreme Space Dao and Extreme Time Dao.

At the next instant, the golden rat’s body trembled and its eyes revealed an unprecedented resplendent golden light as it stared at all the vortexes.

Soon, its body rushed over.

It paused on the third, fifteenth, twenty-third, and thirty-first vortexes respectively.

After that, it squeaked at Xu Qing for praise.

It returned in an instant and landed in Xu Qing’s arms, revealing a tired and dispirited expression.

Xu Qing quickly asked.

“Which one gives the strongest feeling?”

The golden rat thought about it and looked at the thirty-five vortexes. It then raised its claws and pointed at the twenty-third vortex, letting out a few squeaks.

This scene caused a cold glint to rise in the eyes of the clay fox as She coldly glanced at the golden rat.

The golden rat shuddered and hurriedly returned to the storage bag.

Xu Qing stared at the twenty-third vortex and determination appeared in his eyes.

At that moment, all the conditions were met. Although he wasn’t completely sure that the twenty-third vortex was the fifth star ring, at the very least… the possibility of it being there was the greatest.

After all, the golden rat beside the old man back then was extremely powerful.

Hence, Xu Qing took a deep breath and was about to bid farewell to the clay fox before setting off on his way.

However, at this moment, the clay fox laughed again.

“Oh my, you enchanting little demon, fine, fine…”

As She laughed, Her body shone with golden light as She exhaled softly.

This breath churned in the world and finally transformed into a palm-sized little fox.

That was Her clone.

Moreover, She didn’t give Xu Qing a chance to refuse at all. She landed on Xu Qing’s shoulder at an extremely fast speed and stuck out Her little tongue to lick Xu Qing’s neck, revealing an intoxicated expression as She said seductively. “Oh, you rascal, what are you standing there for? Let’s go.”

Whether it was the arrival of the clay fox or the soft touch on his neck, it caused Xu Qing’s body to stiffen.

A long time later, he turned his head and looked at the fox on his shoulder.

“Senior…”

“Why are you calling me Senior? You have to call me Big Sister.”

The little fox corrected him. After that, She patted Xu Qing’s neck and laughed coquettishly.

“I originally didn’t plan to go with you. Who asked you not to let me succeed? So, I’ve decided to leave my main body in Wanggu and my clone will go with you.”

“Little brother, I don’t believe I can’t find an opportunity for you to willingly give away your yang essence.”

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

The little fox urged.

Xu Qing frowned and spoke softly.

“Senior, the place I’m going to might not be friendly to the gods.”

When the little fox heard this, She laughed.

“Are you saying the myriad of races in the Wanggu are friendly to the god? I don’t care. It’s fine as long as you’re friendly. Besides, it’s just a clone. It’s fine.” Xu Qing fell silent. A few breaths later, he sighed inwardly. He knew that he couldn’t refuse. The only thing he needed to consider was the attitude of the fifth star ring toward gods.

However, now wasn’t the time to think about it, so he decided not to consider this matter anymore.

In addition, with the clay fox following him, this trip would probably be smoother.

At the thought of this, Xu Qing’s body swayed and he walked into the Holy Heaven Pagoda. The Holy Heavenly Vine on it shone with starlight, augmenting the pagoda.

The pagoda buzzed and headed straight for the twenty-third vortex below.

It instantly got close and entered.

Dense spatial power suddenly erupted.

The tearing feeling in the vortex was also intense.

Time flowed by in a chaotic manner as it spun in the vortex.

It was as though space had been stretched out, and so was time…

Faintly, a voice arrived from the outside, slipping into the space and flowing through time. In this way, it masked external perception, leaving no trace as it fell into Xu Qing’s mind.

“You owe me the cost of making a wish…”

“This price… I don’t need you to pay anything else. I only want one item.”

“I want that statue of Desolate in the imperial city of Crown Prince Purple Green…”

“Give me that statue and the karma between you and me will be settled..”
