Chapter 1407: The fth Authority!
Editor: Aas Studios
The holy lands had descended!
At this moment, some races trembled, some were excited, and some were at a loss.
However, no matter what... the appearance of the holy lands occued everything.
As for the holy land, ever since the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether left, it had been circulating among the Wanggu Race.
These holy lands formed by the emperors of the various races and the heavens chosen clansmen they had taken away back then had been scolded and promised by others in the past tens of thousands of years.
Some people thought that they were cowards who had left Wanggu at a critical moment and ed.
Some people thought that they hoped that when they returned, they would end the misery of Wanggu and allow it to regain its light.
No matter what their attitude was, they had arrived at this moment.
Purpose, unknown!
Intentions, unknown!
Wanggu is like a cage. Its easy to enter but difcult to exit.
On the Forbidden Sea, Xu Qing stared at the sky and muttered to himself.
Ever since Xu Qing learned from Feng Lintao and the other two that the holy lands were about to descend, he had been thinking about a question.
Why did the holy lands appear?
Unless they have grasped the method to leave.-
While Xu Qing was pondering, Huang Vans voice transmission carried a hint of solemnity. It also entered Xu Qings mind from the feather.
Xu Qing, did you see it?
Not only are the cultivators from the holy lands here, but even the holy lands have descended. This is a very bad sign. They should have grasped the method to leave.11
Based on the information about your human race and my understanding, there are over a hundred holy lands. They are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
From the auras of the ve holy lands that just descended, they should only be yellow-level holy lands. There are about 50 such holy lands.1
As for the holy lands at the Black, Earth, and Heaven levels, the exact number and which races control them are unknown.
However, the Empress is certain of one thing. Although the Mystic Nether holy land was once heaven-level... it might not be so anymore.
Lets see. In the future, the descent of the holy lands will become more frequent, and chaos will spread in Wanggu.
Ill be keeng watch over the Nanhuang Continent during this period of time.
Cultivate in the Forbidden Sea and be careful.
Huang Yan hurriedly transmitted his voice.
After Xu Qing replied, his gaze landed in the direction of Fenghai County.
Fenghai County had sent a message to Xu Qing through a special method that allowed communication across a vast range, asking for instructions on his attitude toward the holy lands.
Be on guard and observe.
Xu Qing pondered for a while before giving the order.
After doing this, Xu Qing sighed sofy. However, his eyes soon gleamed.
Faced with the arrival of the holy lands and their unknown motive, Xu Qing knew that there wasnt much he could do. Only by becoming stronger could he advance in the ever-changing situation.
Hence, he sank into the sea, heading straight for the trench where the broken pagoda was located.
Soon, Xu Qings gure appeared in front of the mysterious bubble again and stepped in with the help of the heavenly vine. After entering the broken pagoda, he spread out his soul threads and fused them into the black jade that was lled with cracks.
A while later, Xu Qing retracted his soul threads.
I didnt sense it wrongly. There are traces of a divine authority mark in this item!
This mark is within the thousand marks in my nihility land.
When Xu Qing was about to leave earlier, he sensed a faint mark ickering on the nihility land in his body. After that, it fused into his soul thread to investigate. After verication, he nally conrmed this point.
I just dont know what the divine authority of this mark is.
A dark glint appeared in Xu Qings eyes as anticipation rose in his heart.
He was aware of the difculty of making the thousand dim marks in his nihility land shine. This required him to devour more gods or existences related to gods.
Hence, he had previously hunted divine creatures and absorbed the divinity in their bodies to nourish himself.
However, this process was slow.
It was unlike now where he could direcy sense the divine authority. This was a huge opportunity.
Hence, he didnt hesitate at all. He immediately sat cross-legged in front of the black jade and meditated, using the soul threads as a guide to attempt to comprehend it.
Time owed by.
A few days later, Xu Qing opened his eyes, revealing contemplation.
It seems to be related to sound...
Xu Qing wasnt sure, Although he was completely immersed in his comprehension over the past few days and had a faint understanding, it was very unclear.
It was like looking at owers in the fog or looking at the moon in the water.
However, Xu Qing was patient. He took out a small bote containing the liaoxuan holy liquid.
He drank it all at once.
Immediately, waves of profound knowledge rose in his mind as he continued to comprehend.
Time slowly passed. A month later.
Xu Qing was completely immersed in comprehension, giving off an ethereal feeling. In this mysterious state, he seemed to hear something.
It was like a murmur.
It went from far to near, and then from near to far.
It was as though it was saying something but it couldnt be heard clearly.
However, this murmur fainy echoed, causing the divine source in his body to slowly circulate on its own. The corresponding dull mark on the nihility land also gradually shone more often.
Just like that, the second month passed.
Xu Qings comprehension continued for a whole two months.
In the past two months, due to the descent of the holy lands, there were varying degrees of commotion in the outside world.
rsy, the actions of the holy lands. Other than the statue that descended in the center and destroyed a small race, the holy lands in the other four regions didnt do anything drastic.
They didnt come into contact with other forces and only spread out small teams to collect all kinds of resources in their respective areas.
They were mainly focused on gathering anomalous substances.
They also focused on collecting items that had been invaded by the anomalous substances.
These actions attracted the attention of all parties. At the same time, an entire race migrated to the western region.
This was because the holy land that descended there was the clansmen of this race.
Other than that, the greatest commotion came from the central region, from the statue holy land that had destroyed a small race.
This was because in the rst month it descended, two gods walked out of the incomparably mysterious number one race that was located in the center of the Wanggu and stepped onto that holy land.
When They left, the statue holy land was completely silent. All life had perished. Even the statue itself had turned into ashes and dissipated into the world.
There was also a voice that echoed through Wanggu.
Holy lands arent allowed to step in the central region.
This matter shook Wanggu and the other holy lands. In an instant, those holy lands seemed to have been knocked off their altars and their actions became even more cautious.
However, just as many races in Wanggu were feeling complicated, relieved, or at a loss...
The phenomenon in the sky that appeared when the ve holy lands descended, appeared again.
Six holy lands descended like meteors and landed in different places in Wanggu.
In the following days, such descents appeared everywhere. Almost every once in a while, a varying number of holy lands would land in Wanggu,
Those ancient holy lands with different shapes would cause the world to rumble every time they descended.
The feeling of oppression appeared again,
So far, the number of holy lands that had descended had reached 23!
However, the strange thing was that all the holy lands that landed were collecting things related to anomalous substances.
It was as though they had returned only to harvest.
At that moment, Xu Qing, who was in the broken pagoda at the bottom of the sea, had reached the critical moment of his comprehension.
The vague murmurs he heard grew increasingly intense, but he still couldnt hear what was being said clearly.
However, amidst the repetition of these murmurs, an ancient power spread over his entire body domineeringly and seeped into his mind, as though it wanted to replace his cognition.
It even seemed to want to snatch away the concept of his sound.
It was as though it wanted to enslave him and strip him of his self, becoming the slave of this murmuring voice.
This state was extremely dangerous. At the same time, there was a great temptation that transformed into understanding. It was as though it was suby inuencing Xu Qing, telling him that if he continued this, he would grasp this divine authority.
Xu Qing suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and at the same time, the divine authorities in his body erupted. They manifested on his forehead, shining with a strange light.
All of this nally woke him up for an instant. Without hesitation, he immediately severed his comprehension.
The sound of threads breaking echoed in Xu Qings mind.
Xu Qing shuddered and spat out a large mouthful of blood. His breathing was hurried and his expression was incomparably solemn.
This feeling of being controlled and enslaved has appeared again!11
Xu Qings expression was ugly. In the past two months, every time he comprehended to a certain extent, the sense of danger from earlier would appear. If it wasnt for the fact that he had Nether rey and had experienced many things, he wouldnt have been able to survive the rst time this danger appeared.
Why is it like this...
Xu Qing fell silent. He had wondered if this divine authority possessed some kind of life. Hence, when he comprehended it, it would use a special method to possess him.
However, after several attempts, Xu Qing discovered that the muttering didnt seem to have any exibility. It only followed a certain trajectory.
It didnt resemble something that possessed sentience.
Could it be that... my comprehension method is wrong?
Xu Qing pondered. After all, this was his rst time truly comprehending the divine authority. His understanding of the divine right stopped at instinct.
As for the Purple Moon and misfortune, they were devoured and not comprehended.
Gods curse was also obtained through a similar method,
Xu Qing didnt continue to comprehend. Instead, he recalled his experiences in the past few months. A few days later, his body suddenly trembled.
The level of my comprehension might be wrong.
The reason why I was enslaved was because I was affected by this divine authority. What I need to do is to control it!
How to control...
Xu Qing fell silent. After a long time, a strange glint appeared in his eyes.
Perhaps its wrong to hear it.
If I hear it, it means that Tin affected.
Determination appeared on Xu Qings face. He stood up and direcy arrived outside the mysterious bubble. He didnt borrow the help of the heavenly vine but walked in forcefully like before.
A few steps later, an overwhelming repulsive force gushed over. Xu Qing ignored it and took another step at the end of his endurance.
Immediately, the counterattack erupted and enveloped his entire body. At the same time, it was deliberately guided by Xu Qing and blasted into his ears.
At the next instant, his mind buzzed and intense pain assaulted him. Blood owed out of his ears, his eardrums were shattered, and the bones in his ears were broken.
Xu Qing fell over and he felt the world snning as he lost his sense of hearing.
However, his expression was calm as he forcefully endured it. He summoned the somewhat stunned heavenly vine and made it take him back into the pagoda.
The moment he entered, Xu Qing immediately sat down cross-legged. His soul threads fused into the black jade and he comprehended it again.
This time, he no longer listened but used his mind to sense.
Gradually, he seemed to hear a murmur.
This murmur came not only from the black jade but also from the faint mark in his body. It also came from the waves of his divine source sea.
A sense of enlightenment appeared in Xu Qings mind. At the same time, his perception seemed to be different from before. The divine source towered into the sky, pushing his perception to a level he had never come into contact with before.
He comprehended.
Only when he didnt listen and could hear with his perception could his perception sublimate and enter the range of divinity, capturing the power that uniquely belonged to this range.
This power was ancient, primitive, and chaotic. Or rather, it was an extremely ancient power that existed in the world.
Cultivators couldnt grasp it because the most basic qualication to obtain this power was the divine source.
The source of this power was too deep and difcult to reach.
Just mastering it was equivalent to obtaining the qualications to use it and forming a mark. This... was divine authority.
However, it could only be used. To probe its essence, that wasnt something an ordinary god could do.
At that moment, in Xu Qings nihility land, the faint mark that had been ickering for a few months with the black jade suddenly lit up brighy. Amidst the resplendent light, it formed a divine rune.
That was Xu Qings fth divine rune.
Divine Sound Rune!
Controlling all sounds in the world was an important part of omniscience.
