Chapter 996 The Heir"s Vision!
The heir sighed and left the back room. He needed some time to get used to Xu Qing"s unbelievable comprehension ability.
As Xu Qing woke up, the lightning dissipated from the dim world outside the Bitter Life Mountain Range. That sense of oppression also gradually vanished.
This matter caused quite a commotion in the Bitter Life Mountain Range and countless guesses rose. However, other than the people in the apothecary, no one knew that the reason for all of this was Xu Qing.
Xu Qing only learned about what happened during this period afterward. While a lingering fear rose in his heart, his admiration for the heir deepened even more.
"Just a sentence of guidance allowed me to comprehend these things. Soul Acc.u.mulation indeed deserves its name…"
Xu Qing sighed with emotion. In the following days, as he recovered from his injuries, he also went out many times to adapt to the Golden Crow"s trump card.
Just like that, time flowed by and half a month pa.s.sed.
On this afternoon, outside the apothecary"s earth city, in a canyon, Xu Qing"s figure appeared in the distance. After entering the canyon, he instinctively looked around to ensure there were no issues.
This canyon wasn"t far from earth city.
These few days, Xu Qing often tested his Golden Crow"s trump card. The location was different every time. This time, he chose this place.
The might of his Golden Crow"s trump card was too astonishing. When unleashed, its momentum was overwhelming, but if not controlled properly, it would be like an untamed wild horse, bursting out uncontrollably and dimming the Golden Crow in the process.
There was even a time when the Golden Crow almost withered and collapsed.
Therefore, Xu Qing had to make subtle adjustments time and time again, attempting to confine the deployment of this killer move within a certain range, keeping its power within the limits that the Golden Crow could withstand.
"I"ve adjusted it dozens of times. This should be enough."
Xu Qing took a deep breath and took off his clothes, putting them away. He only left behind a pair of shorts.
Looking at his bare body, Xu Qing showed a helpless expression.
"It"s like this every time. I have to think of a way to resolve it in the future…"
Xu Qing retracted his thoughts and closed his eyes to think for a moment. After confirming in his mind, his eyes suddenly opened, revealing a sharp glint. He lifted his right hand and performed a series of hand seals. Immediately, an astonishing aura erupted from his body.
The Golden Crow totemic tattoo appeared on his entire back, constantly moving and spreading across Xu Qing"s upper body.
The Golden Crow in the tattoo had spirituality. As it spread out, waves of terrifying aura continued to rise.
This aura turned into a storm of flames, sweeping across all directions, causing the ground to instantly wither and become scorched, melting rocks, with its reach extending to 10,000 feet.
Within 10,000 feet, a sea of fire rose from the ground. Even the surrounding wind couldn"t do anything to this sea of fire. It was as though the existence of these flames was independent of the laws of heaven and earth.
At the center of the sea of fire, Xu Qing, who was standing there, was trembling slightly. He was completely focused as he controlled the tattoo formed by his Golden Crow Nascent Soul to change its form.
This was the method he had mastered during this period. If the transformation occurred externally, the power became uncontrollable. However, if the changes happened within his own body, everything could be much better controlled.
Hence, under his control, the tattoo on his body moved faster and faster. In the end, it was almost impossible to see its form clearly. One could only vaguely see the shadow of a black spear rapidly forming.
Although it was still blurry and could only be roughly seen, the instant the shadow of the black spear appeared, an aura that was even more terrifying and astonishing than before towered into the sky from Xu Qing"s body.
At this moment, Xu Qing did not employ any power except for the Golden Crow. Everything that manifested the terrifying intent was actually formed by the Golden Crow"s Nascent Soul. The displayed horror surpa.s.sed the full force of Xu Qing"s previous thirteen nascent souls.
It could be said that this spear strike was enough to frighten Dao Nurturing cultivators.
From this, it could be seen that the trump card of this Golden Crow Nascent Soul was extremely shocking.
However, this was only a trace of the taboo power in the Golden Crow that Xu Qing had leaked. Of course, this was also his limit at this moment. As his cultivation level increased and he continued to explore, he would definitely be able to release more in the future.
At the thought of this, Xu Qing abruptly pressed his right hand against his chest. That location was none other than the handle of the black spear.
He clenched his fist and grabbed!
Xu Qing directly grabbed a blurry black spear from the tattoo on his body.
The moment it appeared, the colors of the world changed, thunder roared, and with a resounding roar, Xu Qing paid no attention. As he swung his right hand, black spear shadows erupted like a world-destroying black dragon, sweeping in concentric circles around him.
The ground quaked and the mountain rocks collapsed. As the canyon trembled, the black spear soared into the sky.
It looked like a spear but also like a Golden Crow. The flames in the surroundings rose from the ground and followed. There was also a second sharp edge at the tip of the spear.
That was the Emperor Sword!
The emperor sword that had been swallowed by the Golden Crow!
It was also contained in this trump card under Xu Qing"s adjustments.
The sky rumbled, stirring up huge ring-shaped fluctuations that continuously erupted in all directions. As for Xu Qing, his breathing was hurried and he staggered slightly. However, he was in good spirits.
He checked and confirmed that the Golden Crow could withstand it and his losses could be accepted. Excitement appeared in his eyes and he was about to leave.
However, at this moment, a calm voice suddenly rang out from the sky.
"Not bad!"
Following the voice, the heir"s figure appeared amidst the fluctuations in the sky that were blasted away by the black spear. He ignored everything and walked over.
As he got closer, all the fluctuations here dissipated. No one would notice the changes here.
"Senior!"
Xu Qing greeted respectfully.
Xu Qing was now sincerely convinced about the heir"s guidance. Regardless of whether it was the unprecedented third tribulation at the start, the increase in his soul power after the life-and-death battle in the temple, or the essence of the Golden Crow Emperor cultivation art, all of this showed that the heir"s training for him was extremely effective.
It could be said that in just a few months, Xu Qing already showed signs of being reborn. His combat strength was much stronger than before.
"I see that your injuries have mostly recovered. Now, let"s proceed to the next step!"
The heir walked in front of Xu Qing and sized him up. His gaze was stern but he admired him inwardly. This kid in front of him was one of the few with the highest comprehension he had seen in his life.
Even he was very interested in forging such unpolished jade.
However, considering the issues caused by his previous words, the heir felt that he needed to be more cautious in his future speech. Yet, in his heart, he also harbored a perceive of pride after the shock.
"This kid"s master must be extremely frustrated every time he gives guidance, but that"s determined by his level. I"m different; only I can teach such a disciple. His master can"t."
The heir looked at Xu Qing and calmly spoke.
"Xu Qing, you comprehended my guidance very well earlier, choosing not to give up or choose, which is commendable."
"What we cultivators need to do is to face difficulties head-on. What we need is this indomitable will. Only then can we cultivate a domineering aura and form an aura that dares to fight the world!"
"Now, your Golden Crow Nascent Soul already has a trump card. Next, you have to study your Poison Restriction Nascent Soul in detail!"
At this point, a strange glint appeared in Xu Qing"s eyes. Actually, there was no need for the heir to ask for it. After tasting the sweetness of the Golden Crow, Xu Qing had been pondering over his other nascent souls during this period of time.
Unfortunately, every one of his nascent souls was an independent existence and were all different from the others. It was difficult for the Golden Crow"s experience to be used on other nascent souls. This was also what Xu Qing was thinking about.
Hearing the heir"s words, Xu Qing immediately spoke respectfully.
"Senior, please enlighten me!"
Xu Qing"s eyes showed antic.i.p.ation as he looked at the heir.
Looking at Xu Qing"s gaze, the heir smiled.
"Xu Qing, I can perceive that your poison is a type of G.o.d"s power."
Xu Qing nodded.
"This poison is astonishing and its potential is incomparably great. However, it shouldn"t have existed in my era. It should have appeared during the time I was sealed, so I"ve never seen it before."
The heir"s gaze was deep as he looked at Xu Qing.
"However, I"ve seen poisons that are even stronger than your Poison Restriction. It can even be said that I"ve seen the strongest poison in the w.a.n.ggu Continent!"
"Perhaps you"ve also seen it before."
The heir"s words contained deep meaning.
When Xu Qing heard this, his body trembled and many thoughts appeared in his mind. However, it was still a little blurry. It was as though the answer was right in front of him but it was covered by fog and he couldn"t catch it.
Sensing Xu Qing"s thoughts, the heir felt proud and calmly spoke.
"Xu Qing, lift your head and look at the sky. Go and take a look at the G.o.d"s fragmented-face hanging there eternally outside the dim sky!"
Xu Qing"s mind instantly rumbled. He instinctively lifted his head and looked at the sky.
Although the sky in the Moon Worship Region was pitch-black and wasn"t as clear as the other regions, one could still vaguely see the huge outline of the G.o.d"s fragmented-face in the sky.
"Look at that fragmented-face. Why is it that every time It opens Its eyes, all living beings will wail and the place It looks at will become a forbidden zone? It"s because Its gaze is poisonous!"
"Then, why didn"t you imitate it?"
"Why did you only release your Poison Restriction simply? You even needed to borrow the wind and tricks. These are all the actions of humans, not G.o.ds!"
"With a human"s thinking, it"s naturally impossible for you to unleash the G.o.d"s poison."
"You have to learn from It and fuse your poison into your gaze. If you can do it, even if it"s just a trace, then the power of your Poison Restriction will undergo a tremendous sublimation like the Golden Crow!"
Xu Qing"s breathing was hurried. The prince"s words were too astonishing. It was equivalent to opening up his understanding. At that moment, it was like a bolt of lightning had streaked across his mind, tearing apart all the inherent thoughts.
"That"s right. When the fragmented-face opens Its eyes, the anomalous substances in the area It looks at intensifies. This is the same as my poison… in essence!"
"If I can also…"
Xu Qing"s heart raced. He felt his thoughts expanding continuously at this moment. After a long time, he looked at the heir with incomparable admiration in his eyes.
The other party"s vision and the other party"s mentality when looking at things determined his understanding.
This was something Xu Qing didn"t have before. Even though his understanding had been opened by Old Master Seventh, he still hadn"t reached such a height.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Xu Qing was moved. He bent down and bowed.
Looking at Xu Qing"s expression and sensing Xu Qing"s emotions, the heir smiled. The pride in his heart rose again and he thought to himself that this kid"s master was only so-so. Only he could educate such an unpolished jade.
"Then, you should properly understand this point next. This place is quite suitable. Stay here and comprehend for three days. If you still can"t do it, come back and look for me."
After the heir finished speaking, he set up a restriction here for three days. After that, he placed his hands behind his back and left leisurely.
Xu Qing stood on the spot and was silent for a long time. After he sat down cross-legged, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
"How to let my gaze contain the power of the Poison Restriction…"
Xu Qing mumbled. The power of the Poison Restriction in his body erupted and gushed into his eyes.
