Outside Of Time - Chapter 1563 - 1563 Huge Harvest (2)
1563 Huge Harvest (2)
Hence, Xu Qing retracted his gaze and checked the storage bag with his divine sense. After checking, he raised his brows.
The items inside were incredibly abundant.
Just the spirit stones alone caused Xu Qing to be quite surprised.
There were so many of them that they piled up like a mountain.
Crystalline light shone resplendently.
Soon, Xu Qing discovered that these spirit stones were different from the spirit stones in Wanggu. Each of them contained some power of laws.
“Formed from god refinement? So it contains the rules of heaven and earth?”
Xu Qing took out a piece and held it in his hand to check.
Besides these, the storage bag contained something even more precious than spirit stones: immortal jade.
They were gathered into a flowing river of immortal energy within the storage bag.
This caused Xu Qing’s heart to tremble.
Upon careful examination, he realized that the rules contained within these immortal jades were far more concentrated than those in spirit stones. In fact, under Xu Qing’s perception, he sensed that these immortal jades had a quality almost akin to the origin energy he had absorbed when he made the wish back then.
It was just that it was extremely thin.
But, being able to do this was already astonishing.
“Having such items means that this Fifth Star Ring is even more complicated than I thought.”
“This person is really rich.”
Xu Qing muttered inwardly. Even though he had killed a lot and snatched treasures, he was still shaken by this storage bag.
Hence, the anticipation in his heart intensified. His divine sense quickly moved away from the spirit stones and immortal jade and sensed the other items in the storage bag.
Soon, he saw a large number of bottles and jars filled with medicinal pills.
Their grades were different.
With his Dao of Medicine, Xu Qing made a preliminary judgment that many of the pills were quite potent. There were also some that were outside his scope of knowledge.
After a simple check, Xu Qing’s heart was continuously stirred by the items in the storage bag. At that moment, his divine sense spread out in a large area, wanting to search for jade slips, books, and magic treasures.
Unfortunately, although there were magic treasures, their levels were much inferior.
This was understandable. After all, in the previous battle, with the steady personality of the Ruler, he had already taken out all the magic treasures he could use.
For example, the incense stick and the crystalline treasure tree.
However, there were still two items that caused Xu Qing’s divine sense to fluctuate.
A roll of beast skin that shone with black light and a token flew out of the storage pouch and floated in front of Xu Qing.
The first thing he checked was the beast skin.
This beast skin was only the size of a palm. Within the black light, he could see densely-packed runes. As they shone, they also intertwined and moved, as though they were alive.
After taking a look, Xu Qing thought about it and used his divine consciousness to carefully examine the inscriptions on the beast skin, carefully sensing them.
A long time later, Xu Qing’s expression changed.
“Four-Nine Formation Restriction!”
The origin of this beast skin was unknown. It recorded a Dao Art called the Four-Nine Formation Restriction.
This reminded Xu Qing of the middle-aged Ruler’s Three-Three Formation Restriction.
This array formation was extremely powerful. It could gather the power of the laws of heaven and earth and erupt with countless array formations. Whether it was to kill or seal, it was extremely extraordinary.
However, the disadvantage was that to use it, he had to accumulate array formations in advance.
As for the advantage… it was that after using this technique and saying forty-nine words, it could erupt out of thin air and be impossible to guard against.
Moreover, as one comprehended and cultivated this power, they could reduce the number of words they spoke.
The dead middle-aged Ruler had clearly cultivated till thirty-three words.
According to the description within the beast skin, if one could cultivate to the final stage, the activation of the formation could be shortened to any two words, and it wouldn’t be limited to oneself; it could be triggered by the enemy’s words too .
The reason it was limited to two words was because the formation was divided into Yin and Yang, and the restriction was divided into life and death; it couldn’t be singular.
As he grasped the beast skin, the scenes of the middle-aged Ruler activating the formation appeared in Xu Qing’s mind. A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.
“This Dao art is intriguing. It can be integrated into words. So, if the final two words of this Dao art were my name…”
“As long as someone uttered my name, it could trigger the formation restriction’s explosion with a single thought. This way… it would be even more intangible.”
Xu Qing pondered and felt that it wasn’t impossible.
If it was really integrated into the name, it would really be impossible to guard against.
For instance, when the enemy cursed at him, the formation restriction would automatically activate as soon as they spoke.
Or if he encountered someone who maliciously asked for his name, the moment he answered, the killing formation would directly descend.
“If used properly, it will also be a trump card!”
A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. After some thought, he kept the beast skin, planning to incorporate this Dao art into his regular training.
After that, his gaze landed on the token.
This token was peculiar and the baleful aura was extremely intense. In fact, as it floated in the air, the surrounding temperature was dropping.
Its color was red, as though it was dyed in blood.
The back was empty, and the front had the totem of an eye.
Xu Qing stared at it. This token could be uttered to be the most special item he had found in the Ruler’s storage bag.
Hence, he didn’t touch it. Instead, after checking it, he turned his head and looked at the youth who was kneeling not far away and didn’t dare to leave.
“Your life or death depends on your value.”
“Tell me what this item is.”
When Xu Qing’s voice landed in the young man’s ears, he endured the fear of death and raised his head to look at the token, and replied while stuttering.
“Senior, this is… the qualifying token… of the Immortal Capital.”
Xu Qing’s expression was calm. However, when he heard the words ‘Immortal Capital’, his mind shook a little.
“Continue.”
The youth took a deep breath. Facing someone who could kill his master, he didn’t dare to hide anything at all. Even though he knew that the other party wanted to get the information about the star ring he was in, he couldn’t care less.
He then elaborated everything meticulously and, in order to explain the Immortal Capital Token and to satisfy Xu Qing, he even recounted the history of the Fifth Star Ring.
Firstly, this was indeed the Fifth Star Ring and there was indeed a place called the Immortal Capital.
In the past, the Fifth Star Ring was filled with gods until the Immortal Capital rose to power, suppressing the gods and destroying everything related to Them.
Under the attack of the supreme Venerable Immortal of the Immortal Capital, the starry sky was flattened, and the Immortal Capital was established right in the center of the Fifth Star Ring.
From then on, it was considered a sacred place.
Surrounding the Immortal Capital, the flattened universe no longer had the idea of a starry sky. Instead, it became a land, a residence for the cultivators.
As time passed, the number of cultivators here had reached an astonishing level. There were countless sects and clans.
Moreover, almost all cultivators had a dream.
That was to ascend to the Immortal Capital!
Once they did so, it would be like a carp leaping through the dragon gate; their identity, status, and future would be completely different.
The people of the Immortal Capital were the masters of the Fifth Star Ring.
However, the Immortal Capital was high and mighty, isolated from the outside world.
“Everyone wants to ascend to the Immortal Capital, and the way to do so is to compete!”
The youth spoke in a low voice. When he mentioned the Immortal Capital, his eyes instinctively gleamed with desire.
“The reason why it’s a contest is because the Immortal Capital will start a great hunt every so often!”
“The Immortal Capital will issue ten thousand qualifying-tokens, causing hundreds of millions of cultivators across the Fifth Star Ring to fight for them.”
“The process is extremely brutal, and the slaughter is shocking.”
“Because, possessing one of these ten thousand qualifying-tokens only grants eligibility. The final number of ascendants allowed by the Immortal City will depend on rankings. At most, around a thousand may be admitted, but sometimes only the top hundred are accepted!”
“Senior, the token in your hand is an Immortal Capital Qualifying-Token!”
