Silence reigned outside the gates of the Zenith Kingdom.
Every member of the Holy Wave Tribe widened their eyes. They were at first confused, then shocked.
It didn't matter what level of cultivation they had, or how much they'd suspected Xu Qing and Chen Erniu. At this moment, they looked at the trembling statue of the Blacksky God and heard its cries.
Waves of shock surged through their hearts. They were completely dumbfounded.
Even the ruler of the Spirit Treasure realm felt his mind rumble. An unprecedented storm swept through his mind, sweeping through his entire sea of consciousness. The three secret treasures behind him began to distort.
The most shocked of all was the young man who'd escorted Xu Qing and Chen Erniu all the way here.
As the prince of the Zenith Kingdom, he'd always been proud of his intelligence. He'd pretended to be stupid on the way here, thinking that he'd successfully tricked the two bandits into coming here. But now that everything had been reversed, he couldn't react in time.
At this moment, his eyes were the largest, and his mind rumbled the loudest. Raging waves surged in his heart as if a million bolts of lightning had exploded in his mind. Amidst the explosions, his expression was incomparably dazed.
"This … this …"
"How is this possible?!
That's … the Blacksky God's statue! "
His body trembled and his breathing quickened. At the same time, he felt a strong sense of unreality.
Of the thirty-six city-states, not every city-state had the right to request a statue from their king. Only four city-states had the right to do so. This meant that these four cities were the direct descendants of the four dynasties of the Holy Wave Tribe.
Therefore, the prince of this small kingdom knew very well what the Blacksky God's statue symbolized.
It symbolized the Blacksky Clan!
The statue that symbolized the Blacksky Clan had actually knelt down and kowtowed to them. This was already outrageous, not to mention the two words "16."
These two words were like the laws of the heavens. Their echoes reverberated in all directions, as if the heavens and earth were about to change color.
Similarly, Qing Qiu's mind was shaken. At this moment, she felt that her thoughts were in chaos.
When she'd first seen the two Blacksky Clan members exposed, she'd instinctively thought that they were fakes. This also explained why they hadn't killed her. She'd been certain that they were humans.
However, before this thought could take root, it was changed in the next instant. Moreover, it was not a simple reversal. It was an earth-shattering reversal of Literary Magnetism, like a river overturning the sea.
The reason for that was because the two words' master 'represented too great of a significance. If one were to think deeply about it, one would be completely astonished.
In an instant, all the gazes in the area gathered on the expressionless Xu Qing. Those gazes were filled with astonishment, complicated emotions, shock, disbelief, and disbelief.
Even though the captain had discussed the plan with Xu Qing on the way here, he clearly did not expect the effect to be so exaggerated.
Only Xu Qing's expression remained calm from beginning to end. As for what was going on in his heart, outsiders had no idea.
In any case, calmness was his usual expression, and he was very good at maintaining this expression.
Along the way, he and the captain had discovered that there was something wrong with the youth from the Holy Crest Tribe.
Firstly, the other party's cultivation was very weak. Normally, one would not dare to test the other party's cultivation. Because if the test succeeded, only death would await the other party.
Secondly, it was unreasonable for a lower race to test a higher race like this, no matter how clever it was.
However, it was clear that he didn't test it out and believed it directly. This was too fake.
This was why the young man from the Holy Wave Tribe had been probing along the way. He wasn't trying to find out the truth, but he was worried that someone would see through his intentions. Therefore, he was deliberately probing.
It was a reverse way of doing things.
It was also this action that allowed him and the captain to see some clues. As for how to deal with it, Xu Qing had already thought of a way to deal with it.
Previously, he had studied the eyes of the Black Sky Clan in the prefecture capital for three days. What he had gained was not only the knowledge of spells, but also the influence of the Purple Moon Heavenly Palace on the eyes.
At that moment, he vaguely understood that after he disguised himself as a member of the Black Sky Clan, to a certain extent, he might be more noble than the real Black Sky Clan.
This was because the Black Sky Clan believed in the Red Moon, and the purple moon in his fourth heavenly palace was formed from the authority that he had plundered from the Red Moon. It also had the status of a god.
To a certain extent, he was the same as the Red Moon.
This was also the reason why the Black Sky Divine Statue had called him "Master."
Even the extremely devout cultivators who had been in close contact with the Red Moon all year round would find it difficult to see the problem. This was because this was a power of the same origin and belonged to the status of a god.
Only the Red Moon himself could see it.
At that moment, everyone was shocked. In the silence, the captain's expression revealed anger, and his cold voice reverberated in all directions.
"The Holy Crest Tribe has guts!
"Who are you? What right do you have to test the Black Sky Clan's Divine Son?
"If you spoil the plans of my clan, you will die!"
After the captain's words, the Black Sky Divine Statue that was kneeling in front of Xu Qing suddenly emitted a black light. Its entire body exuded a shocking murderous aura. It suddenly turned its head and looked at the people of the Heaven Top Nation.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He could feel that this Black Sky Divine Statue could give orders to him.
At the same time, following the captain's voice and the murderous aura of the Black Sky Divine Statue, the people of the Heaven Top Nation gasped. The ruler of the Heaven Top Nation quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Xu Qing.
"Lower clan cultivators greet the upper clan!
After him, all the people of the Holy Crest Tribe at the city gate stepped forward and bowed to Xu Qing in unison.
"Greetings to the upper clan!
The prince of the Heaven Top Nation knelt down with a plop and shouted in a trembling voice.
"Greetings to the upper clan!"
His mind was in a mess. This was like a dream.
Qingqiu, who was behind Xu Qing, saw this scene. While her mind was buzzing, a strong murderous intent rose in her heart. She knew that the Black Sky Clan in front of her had an extremely high status.
"If we kill him …" Qingqiu lowered her head and hid the murderous intent in her heart.
While everyone's minds were in turmoil, Xu Qing stepped forward and stepped on the Black Sky Divine Statue in front of him. He stood on its head and sat down cross-legged.
"You guessed right. I am indeed in disguise.
As he spoke, everyone around him lowered their heads.
"I am in disguise as an ordinary member of the Black Sky Clan.
After he finished speaking, the fourth Heavenly Palace in Xu Qing's body vibrated. The Black Sky Divine Statue stood up from its kneeling position and exuded a shocking pressure in all directions. As the black light spread, the wind and clouds surged and the sky changed color.
The captain moved and stood on the head of the Black Sky Divine Statue. Behind Xu Qing, he looked down at the ground.
Then, the Black Sky Divine Statue rose into the sky and looked down in a domineering manner between heaven and earth.
On top of its head, Xu Qing and the captain's figures were blurry, as if they had blended into the night sky and exuded a mysterious aura.
On the ground, all the Holy Wave Tribe cultivators were shocked. The king looked a little hesitant, but he knew that he had to bow again. "Greetings, Divine Child!
Then, all the Holy Wave Tribe members bowed in unison.
The prince's eyes were filled with fanaticism, and his voice was the loudest.
He was from the Holy Wave Tribe, which used to be part of the human race. Therefore, this prince of the Heaven Top Nation also had a hint of humanity in him. Humanity was often more resolute when it came to faith after doubt.
Under the worship of the Holy Wave Tribe, Xu Qing and the captain did not leave. Instead, they were invited into the Heaven Top Nation by the king. They did not need to explain their thoughts to the Heaven Top Nation, and the Heaven Top Nation did not dare to ask.
However, when they entered the city, the captain asked about the Ten Intestines True Immortal and found out that there were still nine days before the fruit of the Ten Intestines Tree.
Then, in the palace of the Heaven Top Nation, Xu Qing and the captain stepped down. The Black Sky Divine Statue did not leave. It floated above the palace where Xu Qing lived and guarded it.
As for Qingqiu, she was asked by the captain to change into a maid's uniform and become a maid during this period.
Qingqiu gritted her teeth and could only agree.
The arrival of the Black Sky Divine Child could not be kept a secret. After all, this matter involved too many people. Therefore, soon, all the thirty-six city-states and small countries heard about it. They were shocked and doubtful.
Just like that, three days passed.
In these three days, Xu Qing mainly focused on studying the Black Sky Divine Statue. The captain could not help but ask him about the Guan Gan Divine Statue out of curiosity.
Previously, the two had talked on the way, but Xu Qing did not mention the Purple Moon. He only mentioned the Crimson Moon Aura.
"I have the Crimson Moon Aura too. That's not right. Why didn't that thing kneel to me? It even said that my faith was mixed and my bloodline was chaotic. It was farting." The captain was unhappy.
Xu Qing thought for a while and told him about the Void Concealment Talisman that Supreme Immortal Purple Mystic turned into.
The captain looked envious and sighed. He could not help but take out a peach and eat it.
Qingqiu could not hear the conversation between the two, but when she saw the captain eating the peach, she was stunned. Just as she was about to take a closer look, the peach disappeared.
Elder Taozi disappeared and looked out of the palace with a solemn expression.
Outside the palace, the king came with his son and invited him respectfully.
"Sir Divine Child, the thirty-six city-states request to host a banquet for you.
"Sir Divine Child is not interested!" Inside the palace, Xu Qing, who was meditating, did not speak. The captain beside him spoke.
The king of the Heaven Top Nation lowered his head when he heard that. His expression did not change. He continued to speak respectfully, "I was reckless. I will inform the other city-states now. Also, the State Preceptor of the Heaven Top Nation has returned and wishes to see you.
"I will not see him!" The captain continued.
Outside the palace, the king of the Heaven Top Nation still had his head lowered. After standing there for a while, he spoke again.
"My son, Mu Ye, has offended you this time. I have already punished him severely. Do you have any other instructions?"
Inside the palace, the captain narrowed his eyes. He could tell that there was a hidden meaning behind those words, so he looked at Xu Qing. Xu Qing's expression was calm as he looked at the prince, who was still kneeling next to the king.
"Mu Ye?
You once said that you wished to be bestowed with the blessing of the Black Sky. "
The moment Xu Qing spoke, the young man from the Holy Wave Tribe immediately raised his head. His eyes were filled with fervor as he kowtowed heavily.
The king of the Heaven Top Nation still had his head lowered, not revealing the slightest bit of emotion.
"Two Black Sky Demon Moon Pills and one hundred thousand True Immortal Ten Intestines Fruits." Xu Qing didn't beat around the bush. He directly stated what he needed for the blessing.
He knew that although he had to put on airs, if he went too far, there would eventually be uncontrollable twists and turns.
In particular, he couldn't underestimate anyone. Even the prince had been scheming, much less the king and the cultivators of the Heaven Top Nation.
As for revealing what he needed after speaking like this, and the fact that he had refused so many times before, it was exactly what Xu Qing wanted.
This was because Ghost Hand had taught him that he could not blindly deny anything. He had to give a false answer so that it would be more realistic.
Therefore, when he spoke, the king's eyes narrowed and he frowned. Xu Qing spoke coolly.
"Mu Ye, come forward.
The king was stunned. The young man from the Holy Wave Tribe next to him was panting. His eyes were filled with fervor as he stood up and walked respectfully into the palace. He knelt before Xu Qing and spoke loudly.
"Divine Son!"
Xu Qing raised his right hand. As the fourth Heavenly Palace in his body vibrated, a wisp of special energy formed by the Purple Moon gathered on Xu Qing's index finger. He tapped it directly between the eyebrows of the Heaven Top Prince.
After the touch, the Heaven Top Prince's body trembled. The cultivation in his body suddenly erupted. A purple light flashed in his eyes, and an aura that was infinitely close to the Red Moon erupted from his body.
Vaguely, there was even a sense of holiness. The way he looked at Xu Qing was no longer filled with fervor, but with sincerity. He prostrated himself on the ground and bowed deeply.
"My Lord!
This scene set off a great wave in the king's heart. His expression changed rapidly, and his breathing quickened.
With his cultivation, although he couldn't see through Xu Qing, he could see through his son. He could clearly feel that at this moment, there was an additional aura of the Black Sky Clan on his son's body. His mental strength had changed.
This aura merged with his flesh and blood and cultivation, becoming one. It also allowed the person who received the blessing to use a part of the Black Sky Clan's talent.
This was exactly the same as those nobles who were blessed by the Black Sky Clan that he had seen before in the dynasty. In fact … it even surpassed some of them.
In the Holy Wave Tribe, where one's status was strict, this aura represented a completely different status and identity. It was like a promotion!
Amidst the great waves in his heart, the king looked at Xu Qing, and Xu Qing looked back at him.
Xu Qing didn't say anything. He used his actions to express his attitude.
The previous rejections were just a gesture. The requests he made weren't deals, but orders!
This was in line with the status of the Black Sky Clan.
There was no overdoing it.
