1152 A Moment of Historic Significance
When Xu Qing and the others arrived, the Imperial Citys array formation was activated into a probing state. Although there was an element of coincidence in this matter, there was a greater possibility that it was as Erniu had said. This was deliberately done by others.
This was indeed the case.
When Xu Qing and the others stopped outside the Imperial Citys array formation, in the inner-ring Imperial City, someone was sneering in a hidden place. At the same time, even more forces in the Imperial City were watching.
To them, Xu Qing and the others from Fenghai County were strangers with astonishing backgrounds. However, their understanding came mostly from records and intel.
They had never really come into contact with Xu Qing.
In this complicated Imperial City, one wouldnt easily come into contact with strangers.
Hence, observing was the choice of the vast majority of forces in the Imperial Capital.
They were also willing to see others make a move to investigate, allowing them to make a judgment about their future actions.
After all, this world wasnt a black-and-white world. Ones standpoint and interests would determine the direction of ones actions. The identities of friends and enemies would switch with the mask in ones heart.
The process of switching was sometimes instantaneous and sometimes slow. Everything was based on demand.
It was the same for the human race and the other races. This was a manifestation of the complexity of human nature and also a natural element of a society.
Under the gazes of everyone, Erniu, who was outside the array formation, revealed a smile and turned to look at Xu Qing.
Junior Brother, what do you think?
Xu Qings expression was calm. He looked at the array formation in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.
Since someone wants to see it, let him see it.
As he spoke, Xu Qing walked toward the array formation in front of him.
He was very confident in his purple crystal. Regardless of whether it was the Ancient Aura Emperor or Crimson Goddess, they had never sensed the purple crystal in his body, let alone this array formation.
Other than the purple crystal, Xu Qing had nothing to hide.
As he walked over, the moment his body stepped into the range of the array formation, the array formation stirred, enveloping his figure. The probing... began.
As soon as this probing power acted up, the array formation instantly rippled and a resplendent blue light appeared, enveloping the surroundings.
Blue represented a certain increase in the level of the array formation.
Xu Qing could sense that the changes in the array formation came from his gods body. Clearly, his body had stimulated the array formation quite a bit.
In the Imperial Capital, the various forces watching here fell into deep thought. At the next instant, their hearts stirred slightly.
This was because as Xu Qing moved forward and the probing intensified, the color of the array formation that enveloped the Imperial City changed again, from blue to yellow.
The array formation buzzed and strengthened again!
Xu Qing could sense the source for this change. It was caused by his divine repository. Behind him, his divine repository was also manifesting amidst the distortion of the array formation.
If that was all, it would actually be fine. Although the yellow light from the array formation didnt appear much, it was still acceptable to the influential people and various parties in the Imperial City.
However, in the blink of an eye, their thoughts changed. A sphere hanging on Xu Qings waist seemed to have been stimulated by the probing of the array formation and actually floated up on its own.
Dazzling light!
As it floated and the light erupted, it immediately caused the array formation in the Imperial City to emit a sharp rumbling sound. It was filled with urgency and echoed in all directions. At the same time, it also instantly raised the spirits of the spectators.
The color of the array formation changed from yellow to orange!
That was an intense warning that represented danger!
At the side, Princess Anhais expression was also changing. Her mind churned as she looked at Xu Qing who had walked into the array formation.
He indeed possesses the Sun of Dawn!
However, things werent over yet. Xu Qing took another step forward and the flesh of Crimson Goddess shone with a scarlet blood light from his divine repositories and storage bag.
This blood light shook the heavens and the earth. The gods aura enveloped the world and affected the array formation, causing it to completely erupt at this moment. As it churned intensely, all the black towers trembled and the light of the array formation completely turned red!
Red alert!
At this moment, the various forces in the Imperial City were all solemn. As for the hidden person who had arranged all of this behind the scenes, he was also solemn.
Crimson Goddess flesh!
Rumor has it that he was only helping. Its nonsense for him to participate. From the looks of it now, thats clearly not the case!
Not only did he participate in the killing of Crimson Goddess, but he also obtained Her flesh and blood!
While all sides were shaken, the flesh and blood of Crimson Goddess and the ancient sun were stimulated at the same time, causing a certain degree of fusion between them.
This wasnt as simple as one plus one...
Hence, in the blink of an eye, the color of the Imperial Citys array formation directly changed from red to black!!
The entire Imperial City was trembling. The defense from the core of the human race was also fully activated at this moment. There was even an ancient bell that rang in the Imperial City.
Dong... dong... dong...
The bell chimes rang out, echoing through the world at an increasing speed. At this moment, the expressions of the various forces in the Imperial City changed.
There were also terrifying auras that erupted in the Imperial City and locked onto this place.
The captain was also shocked. Everyone from Fenghai County had solemn expressions and killing intent erupted. Li Yunshans eyes revealed a cold glint, and Zi Xuans eyes flashed with a dark light as she looked at the Ancient Sovereign Planet.
At this moment, the clouds and fog on the Ancient Sovereign Planet showed signs of accelerating.
Seeing that a calamity was about to erupt, the captain suddenly spoke loudly.
The Region Lord of my Holy Wave Large Region came here to answer the Emperors summon. You guys used an array formation to humiliate him and even forced the Region Lord to show his foundations. What is the meaning of this?!
Are you trying to cause a conflict between the Holy Wave and the Grand Imperial Capital Region, and cause our human race to split? This matter... your intentions are unforgivable !
The expressions of the hidden person behind this matter changed drastically. They indeed wanted to investigate Xu Qing but the results of their investigation made them realize that this matter was too big!
It was so huge that they couldnt withstand it.
They only wanted to take Xu Qing down a notch, and didnt want to start a storm here.
However, the development of the situation instantly reached such a level that it was almost out of control. They couldnt afford to pay this price.
The black warning was a crisis that was close to the limit.
Moreover, everyone could tell that the danger on Xu Qings body was formed from the stimulation of the array formation and he didnt take the initiative to release it.
Hence, at the next instant, their actions were immediately stopped and reprimanded in various ways. There was also the interference of the Observance Palace, who was in charge of array formations, causing the fluctuations of the Imperial Citys array formation to lower its level and reduce the stimulation.
This process was completed very quickly. A few breaths later, the array formation that enveloped Xu Qing returned to its normal state and no longer probed. It became gentler.
As for the captain, Li Yunshan, and Zi Xuan, they quickly approached Xu Qing, who was standing there with his eyes closed. They performed hand seals around him and assisted in the suppression.
Under the close attention of the various forces, Xu Qing opened his eyes a while later.
The fusion of Crimson Goddess flesh with the ancient sun was finally stopped.
The captain took a deep breath and looked at Xu Qing. He smiled bitterly. He couldnt tell if Xu Qing had really meant to fuse them earlier or if he was deliberately scaring them.
However, no matter what, he could sense this madness. The various forces in the Grand Imperial Capital Region... could also sense it.
Zi Xuan didnt say anything else and helped Xu Qing tidy his clothes. She looked into Xu Qings eyes with a gentle expression that also contained determination.
Xu Qing smiled and nodded at Zi Xuan. He then glanced at the captain and winked. After that, he walked forward.
The gentle array formation spread out a barrier in front of him, allowing Xu Qing and everyone from Fenghai County to successfully enter the array formation. The moment he stepped on the ground of the Imperial City, Xu Qing looked ahead.
In front of him was a white jade path.
There were more than a thousand such avenues in the inner ring. They were like beams of light emitted by the sun, shining brightly and connecting to the city.
In the distant city area, numerous buildings with red roofs and white bricks could be seen. Whether large or small, they exuded a sense of grandeur despite their age. The overall architectural style gave a feeling of magnificence.
Nestled among them were pentagonal loft buildings with three stories, each possessing unique characteristics.
The details were beautiful and elegant, complementing the solemn and dignified style. Spread across this circular land, they formed the first magnificent city of the human race.
Within the city, there was a building that, although distant, remained prominent. It was an octagonal tower, constructed entirely of white wood, soaring into the sky like the Temple of Heaven. Its height even surpassed some of the statues at the edge of the land.
At the top, within the clouds where mist lingered, one could faintly discern what seemed to be a pavilion, surrounded by flying dragon and beast sculptures, creating an aura of auspiciousness.
That is the Star-Picking Tower where the State Preceptor resides.
The State Preceptor is a mysterious person. Usually, other than when Father summons him, he doesnt see anyone. Even I have only seen his back view.
Princess Anhai took a deep breath and managed her emotions. She then came to Xu Qings side and noticed his gaze.
Xu Qing stared at Star-Picking Tower and nodded.
In the Imperial City, outside the Imperial Palace, there are still ten palaces, which are the Upper Mystic Five Palaces and the Lower Mystic Five Palaces.
This is an ancient system. Generally speaking, the Upper Mystic Five Palaces in the enclave only have Sword Holding, Law, and Observance Palaces. In the Imperial Capital, there are also Special Command Palaces that are in charge of diplomacy and special matters. The last one is the Creation Palace that specializes in studying immortal arts and gods.
The Upper Mystic Five Palaces are the pillars of our human race. They support the dignity of the human race to the outside world.
As for the Lower Mystic Five Palaces, most of them focus on internal affairs. They are the Spirit Governance Palace, Peacekeeping Palace, Administrative Palace, Reformation Palace, and the Myriad People Palace.
As Princess Anhai introduced, Xu Qing retracted his gaze from Star-Picking Tower and looked into the distance.
At the end of the municipality ahead, one could see a path paved with a rainbow. It was majestic and astonishing, spanning through the air, crossing the inner ring, traversing the void, leading to the Ancient Sovereign Planet.
At the end of this path, close to the Ancient Sovereign Planet, there was a vast palace on the rainbow.
This palace seemed to be floating in the void and gazed majestic. Its entire body shone with a golden glow, revealing intricately carved beams and painted rafters. Inside, there are splendid pavilions and palaces, with various large halls rising and falling, resembling a vast array.
From afar, it looked like the gate of the Ancient Sovereign Planet!
Because the distance was very far and the aura of the Ancient Sovereign Planet was too majestic, the aura of the castle was fused together by the Ancient Sovereign Planet and it was difficult to highlight it. However, it also borrowed the momentum and gazed astonishing.
The instant Princess Anhai introduced it and Xu Qing gazed at the palace, a gaze landed on Xu Qing.
After that, the gaze shifted to Zi Xuan.
After a long time, the gaze was retracted.
At the same time, in the tall Star-Picking Tower in the capital, the State Preceptor, who wore a purple robe and had shoulder-
length purple hair, was standing there, allowing the wind to blow his clothes.
His expression was gentle as he gazed down at the ground. The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
Brother, youre finally here.
At the same time, within the capital city, there was an extravagantly luxurious area, resplendent in gold and jade, where the sound of birds and laughter could be heard. In a profound corner of this place, inside a shrine, there was an altar dedicated to a god.
There was a clay fox inside...
At that moment, the clay fox swayed slightly and sniffed gently.
Stinky brothers yang essence...
