Xu Qing was a little confused.
He followed Boss Seven into the forest.
Boss Seven clearly said that he had an unfinished game of chess, but he wasn't in a hurry on the way back. He walked in front leisurely.
However, every step he took covered a large distance. Xu Qing was also pulled along by him as they shuttled through the forest.
Xu Qing looked at Boss Seven's back. The scene of Boss Seven waving his hand and killing the three Ascendant Cloud Sword Sect's Golden Core protectors appeared in his mind.
Thus, he could only remain silent.
"You've done well with Grandmaster Bai's matter." A moment later, Grandmaster Seven's voice rang out.
"It's what I should do," Xu Qing said softly.
"You also did well with the Sea Corpse Race."
"It's … it's the First Highness." Xu Qing hesitated.
"Ye Jiu's matter was not bad."
"I just did my best." Xu Qing lowered his head.
"But you were too reckless with Master Shengyun's matter."
When Boss Seven said this, a ruined city appeared in front of them. It was the city where Xu Qing and Master Shengyun fought.
Xu Qing didn't say anything.
"You should have called Boss, Second Brother, and Third Brother to kill him together. That way, you wouldn't have been injured so badly." Boss Seven's tone was a little dissatisfied.
Xu Qing pondered for a while. He felt that Boss Seven's words made sense, so he nodded.
Boss Seven was very happy to see Xu Qing being so obedient. He turned around and looked at Xu Qing with admiration.
"Come closer. Aren't you afraid of nothing? Why are you so far away from me?"
Xu Qing hesitated and slowly walked closer. He stood beside Boss Seven.
Boss Seven looked at Xu Qing's height and reminisced. He thought of the skinny figure in the scavenger camp who had changed into new clothes and carefully avoided the mud on the ground. He smiled.
"You're taller than before."
Xu Qing raised his head. He already had an answer in his heart.
Boss Seven didn't continue talking about this and brought Xu Qing into the ruined city. Xu Qing didn't ask and silently followed.
From afar, one old and one young walked in the desolate ruins. The dim sunlight made them feel like they were walking through time.
"This is an ancient city that has witnessed history and is also buried in history."
Lord Seven's voice echoed throughout the ancient city. His voice was ethereal, like the distant flute of a Qiang.
Xu Qing looked at Grandpa Seven, waiting for him to continue.
"Legend has it that this city was the residence of the Purple Azure Kingdom's Crown Prince, who was known as the number one genius among the descendants of the God Masked Face."
"Rumor has it that the crown prince of the Azure Kingdom is truly a peerless genius. He has the bloodline of the Ancient Emperor and the Sovereign Lord, suppressing an entire era."
"There are also people who say that he was born with the destiny of the human race. When he was born, an auspicious sign descended from the heavens and transformed into nine golden dragons to accompany him throughout his life."
"There are also some who say that he is the Ancient Gazing Continent, a vast world, saving itself by gathering the power of an entire world in order for him to descend."
"According to the historical records, the moment he was born, all of the forbidden lands in the Ancient Gazing Continent were filled with mournful wails. Strange blood flowed out of the forbidden lands, spreading out into the lands.
"There are also people who say that in his life, he managed to survive the opening of the eyes of the gods five times and obtained the blessings of the gods." "Even the holy lands were alarmed and came to receive him several times, but he refused."
"However, such a peerless human died in the Purple Azure Kingdom in the end. It is said that the people who participated in the assassination were all shocking characters."
Xu Qing's heart trembled when he heard this. He felt that this matter was different from the Purple Azure Kingdom he knew. He knew that the eight races rebelled, causing the bloodline of the royal family to be captured. Thus, the Purple Azure Kingdom dissipated, and the Purple Earth Eight Races were born.
Noticing Xu Qing's expression, Lord Seven smiled.
"I'm not talking about the Purple Azure Kingdom of the Southern Phoenix Continent, but the Purple Azure Kingdom that was hidden in history. After the Mystic Underworld Era, there was a possibility that the Purple Azure Kingdom could truly unify the Ancient Gazing Continent. Unfortunately, only a few people know about it now. The ten thousand races, including the human race, either actively or passively erased it."
"Under the control of the Purple Earth Eight Races, the only thing that was overturned was the weak remnants of the Purple Azure Kingdom."
Xu Qing took a deep breath.
"But speaking of which, it's really a coincidence. The peerless crown prince of the Violet Azure Empire died in a battle here in the Southern Phoenix Continent. Countless years after his death, a small city appeared here. Eleven years ago, the god opened his eyes and the entire city vanished."
"Some people said that it was his curse."
Xu Qing was silent. His gaze was retracted and he didn't say a word.
Not long after, they arrived at the Daoist temple. This place was a mess, and traces of an intense battle could be seen everywhere. Looking at this place, Xu Qing glanced at Lord Seven.
"Didn't someone say that you lack innate techniques? Go and comprehend them. Hurry up, I still have to go back and play chess." Lord Seven knocked Xu Qing's head.
Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat. This sentence was said by Lord Shengyun during the battle.
Hence, Xu Qing glanced at Lord Seven and nodded. He walked into the Daoist temple and stared at the withered statue. He sat down cross-legged and silently observed it.
After a long time, he stood up and looked at Lord Seven who was outside.
"What's wrong?" Lord Seven asked.
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment before answering honestly, "I can't comprehend them during the day. I need moonlight."
Lord Seven muttered something that Xu Qing couldn't hear clearly. He then waved his hand, and the sky above the Daoist temple was instantly filled with clouds. In an instant, black clouds curled up, blocking out the sun and covering all directions. The area around the Daoist temple became pitch-black.
In the darkness, a mirror appeared in the middle of the black clouds. There was actually moonlight in the mirror. As the mirror spun, a ray of moonlight shone down on the Daoist temple and onto the statue.
In the next instant, the shadow of a blade formed around the statue.
Xu Qing's thoughts churned. He looked at Lord Seven and took a deep breath.
He had seen Lord Six attack before, but he felt that Lord Six definitely couldn't do something like changing the sun and moon with a wave of his hand.
This made Xu Qing think of the tradition of the seventh peak.
"Lord Seven is definitely not a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
Xu Qing knew that time was precious. He focused his attention and focused on the shadow of the blade. Gradually, a purple illusory heavenly blade appeared above his head.
He began to comprehend it.
He was comprehending it.
Lord Seven stood outside the Daoist temple and looked at the battlefield as he muttered to himself.
"Indeed, there are a little too few divine abilities and spells … There are quite a lot of random things."
"Although his battle tactics are still immature, it's already very good for his age." Just like that, time passed.
Sword light filled the sky above the Forbidden Ocean.
Sword qi whistled and went straight for the seven blood children. The Lingyun Sword Sect's disciples behind him were all fierce and domineering as they questioned the seven blood children.
It was peaceful inside the Forbidden Phoenix.
Night fell.
Xu Qing continued to comprehend. The moonlight that Lord Seven displayed was even brighter in the night, causing the shadow of the blade to appear more than before. It was also clearer in Xu Qing's eyes.
The speed of his comprehension was also astonishing. The purple shadow of the blade above his head was rapidly solidifying. It went from 10% to 50%, 60%, 70% …
The night passed and morning came. The moment the morning sun shone and dispersed the darkness, Xu Qing's body trembled. A fierce aura erupted from his body. The purple shadow of the blade above his head reached perfection.
It was no longer illusory. Instead, it was like a real blade emitting a terrifying sharpness.
After such a long period of recuperation, especially with the moonlight that Lord Seven formed with a wave of his hand, it was obvious that he had the ability to recover.
Xu Qing's injuries were all healed.
The fingers that he had lost were also completely regrown. His aura reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.
At this moment, he stood up. The combat power of the six flames was shocking, causing the weather to change. A storm formed around him, and his aura was majestic.
Lord Seven looked at him with satisfaction in his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Everyone knows. You don't have to hide it in front of me."
Xu Qing didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, a flame spread out from the top of his head. It was a seven-colored light.
The flame was black and turned into flames. It formed a black cover and spread out black flames.
The seven-colored light flowed out, and the sound of the wind could be heard. It turned into a seven-colored cover and exploded with brilliant light.
Two canopies suddenly formed.

At the same time, it shone in all directions.
Even though there was light in the morning, Xu Qing still made himself brighter at this moment. His aura was like a rainbow.
"Let's go. Judging by the time, the guests should be here soon."
Lord Seven smiled and waved his sleeve. Immediately, the surrounding space changed. It was as if there were clouds moving about, and the shadows of the world shook inside.
Xu Qing looked at this and sensed Lord Seven's cultivation base again. As his breathing quickened, the surroundings returned to normal. They were no longer in the ruins of the Forbidden Phoenix Temple, but in the tower at the top of the Seventh Summit.
The sea breeze blew, bringing with it a familiar humidity.
The hustle and bustle of the main city echoed out in the wind, as if countless people were whispering to each other. This caused Xu Qing's eyes to go blank. That was especially true when he noticed that, in addition to Lord Seven, there was another familiar figure standing in front of him.
The other party was dressed in a gray robe and looked middle-aged. He had a smile on his face as he stood up in front of a chessboard.
Xu Qing knew this person. It was the person who gave him the token at the scavenger camp.
"Lord Seven." The gray-robed servant first bowed to Lord Seven, then nodded at Xu Qing.
"Are the guests here?" Lord Seven's gaze fell on the chessboard.
"They're almost here," the servant said.
"Mmm.
Take the child to a bath first. Don't go out and get yourself dirty. "With that, Lord Seven flicked his sleeve and walked out of the tower.
The word 'child' caused Xu Qing's eyes to narrow. The speculations in his heart grew even clearer.
"Child, I'll take you to a bath," the servant said meaningfully. "What comes next is not just an important matter for you, but also for Lord Seven and the Seven Blood Children." With that, he handed Xu Qing a jade slip.
"After you've bathed, step out of the main hall and onto the mountain platform. Take a look at this jade slip."
Xu Qing accepted the jade slip thoughtfully, but didn't ask any questions. He bowed politely and then left with the servant.
After thoroughly washing himself, he was given a new set of Daoist robes. Some maidservants came respectfully with special incense sticks, which they waved around him.
Xu Qing wasn't used to it, but he didn't refuse.
Some of the maidservants stood behind him and tied up his hair. The Captain stuck his head out of the door and winked at Xu Qing.
Next, one of the servants approached with a violet Daoist crown.
The crown glowed with dazzling light, and emanated a terrifying pressure. Inside, the image of a strange creature could be seen. If you looked closely, you would see that the creature had nine heads and the body of a snake. It was none other than the strange creature that had been created by the Merfolk.
If you looked at it for a long time, you would be able to hear the howls and roars of wild beasts. It was bizarre and extraordinary!
"Holy crap! That's the Violet Heaven Everlasting Crown with half the soul of a Nascent Soul sealed inside! The old man is so biased! I've wanted that for a long time, but he never gave it to me!" The Captain's eyes went wide as the servant placed the Daoist crown on Xu Qing's head.
Xu Qing wore a violet robe embroidered with gold, and a Violet Heaven Everlasting Crown on his head. Combined with his breathtakingly beautiful features, he looked completely transcendent and incomparable.
The surrounding maidservants all looked on with strange gleams in their eyes.
The Captain was just about to say something when a solemn voice could be heard from outside.
"The Dao is the void, formless and nameless. Without the scriptures, you cannot comprehend the Dao. The Dao is hidden within the scriptures, profound and subtle. Without the Master, you cannot comprehend its truth.
"Today, there is a child from the Seventh Peak named Xu Qing who has been imparted the Dao and received instruction. Therefore, he wishes to present himself to the Patriarch!" The solemn voice echoed out from the Seventh Peak into the Heavens.
