On the inner sea, in an area not far from the border.
In the sky, the dazzling Holy Heaven Pagoda suddenly stopped.
The surface of the sea rumbled and huge waves swept out, as though a tsunami had formed. As it rumbled and spread in all directions, a huge statue that seemed to be as tall as the sky rose from the bottom of the sea.
The statue shone with divine light and the golden color became everything.
It was a god.
It stood on the sea and existed between heaven and earth. Compared to It, the Holy Heaven Pagoda was like a small toy.
As for the shape of the statue, it was a fox.
However, It was no longer clay but solid stone. Its entire body was fiery red, making this fox lifelike.
What emitted from Its body was no longer the flawless divine fire from back then but… the aura of the Divine Platform!!
Or to be precise, It had stepped into the Divine Platform for the most part. Right now, It could barely be considered to have the combat strength of the Divine Platform.
As soon as the Divine Platform appeared, the color of the world changed.
The terrifying divine might caused the sea and the sky to form a vast vortex.
The vortex in the sky rotated clockwise and the vortex in the sea rotated counterclockwise. This caused the space between the two vortices to distort.
Laughter rang out from the fox statue at this moment.
In the paused Holy Heaven Pagoda, Xu Qing opened his eyes.
He sighed inwardly.
Whenever it came to Star Flame High God, he always felt an urge to avoid Her.
He didn’t expect to see Her now.
At this moment, he had no choice. Xu Qing took a deep breath and walked out of the Holy Heaven Pagoda. He stood in the air and looked at the vast statue in front of him before bowing.
“Greetings, High God.”
As for the other party’s cultivation that was extremely close to the Divine Platform, Xu Qing wasn’t surprised. With the ritual back then, it was inevitable that the three gods would advance to the Divine Platform realm sooner or later. Moreover, They experienced many large battles with the arrival of the holy lands.
Although all living beings in the holy lands were absorbed by the Sword Holding Great Emperor, under the stimulation of his sword energy and the power of the starry sky contained in the collapsed holy lands, the three gods were able to speed up Their growth.
“Why, you conscientious little fellow. From the look on your face, it seems you’re not very happy to see your big sister.”
“Sister has been worried about you during this time. I miss you day and night.”
Star Flame’s voice carried a teasing and sultry tone, entering Xu Qing’s ears like strands of hair, brushing against his ear bone, sliding across his cheek, and settling in his heart.
As She spoke, Her statue visibly shrank until It was the size of a normal person. The texture rapidly transformed into flesh, and eventually, She became a stunningly beautiful woman. Through the bubble covering the pagoda, She looked at Xu Qing with a teasing smile.
Xu Qing didn’t know how to answer Her. Hence, he chose to remain silent like he was used to.
Seeing Xu Qing like this, Star Flame licked Her lips. Her gaze that seemed to be able to penetrate the clothes sized up Xu Qing’s body and a charming light gradually appeared in Her eyes.
She took a deep breath.
She was in high spirits.
Her voice became even more delicate.
“Forget it, forget it. You heartless kid. Who asked your yang essence to be so sweet? Even though I’m angry, looking at you… my anger will naturally dissipate.”
“So, are you going to the outer sea now?”
Star Flame chuckled.
Xu Qing was already used to Star Flame’s gaze. When he heard this, he nodded.
“What a coincidence.”
Star Flame blinked.
“Sister is also going to the outer sea. Let’s go together. However, why do you look so vigilant? You don’t even open the bubble or come out.”
“Could it be that you’re afraid that I’ll eat you up? To think that I’ve helped you so much all these years, but you’re actually so distant to me.”
Star Flame’s expression revealed a hint of hidden bitterness.
Xu Qing felt helpless and knew he couldn’t refuse. Moreover, over the years, the other party had indeed helped him many times, especially since They were currently allies with the human race.
Xu Qing sighed again. He then raised his hand and dispersed the bubble. He put the Holy Heaven Pagoda away and walked to Star Flame’s side.
“That’s more like it.”
Star Flame pinched Xu Qing’s face at a speed that Xu Qing couldn’t dodge and laughed happily. A divine wind rose and brought Xu Qing straight to the border between the inner and outer seas.
This place wasn’t far to begin with.
Hence, in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the place where the inner and outer seas intersected.
The color of the sea was clearly separated here.
On one side was purple.
On the other side was black.
Between the purple and black, there was a lone boat in the middle.
On the lone boat, a handsome and elegant middle-aged man was sitting cross-legged and fishing.
It was Jade Flowing Dust.
Facing Xu Qing and Star Flame’s arrival, He didn’t even look up. However, Star Flame’s expression was somewhat solemn when She saw Jade Flowing Dust.
They were both gods but the difference between Them was like heaven and earth.
The current Jade Flowing Dust was walking toward the True God realm.
Star Flame immediately sensed this. Her heart fluctuated and She took a step forward, standing in front of Xu Qing. She then bowed to Jade Flowing Dust.
Jade Flowing Dust indifferently spoke.
“You’re blocking my vision.”
Star Flame silently moved aside.
Only then did Jade Flowing Dust slowly raise His head and look at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing took a step forward and bowed respectfully.
“Greetings, Senior.”
Jade Flowing Dust didn’t speak immediately. Instead, He continued to observe Xu Qing. After a long time, His gaze moved away from Xu Qing and looked at the sky.
He calmly spoke.
“Did he laugh when he left?”
Xu Qing naturally understood that He was referring to the Sword Holding Great Emperor.
Xu Qing didn’t know much about the past between the Sword Holding Great Emperor and Jade Flowing Dust. However, in the battle in the human capital back then, Jade Flowing Dust cooperated with the Great Emperor. The ultimate goal of this cooperation was to let the Sword Holding Great Emperor deliver his final sword strike.
All of this meant that the Sword Holding Great Emperor and Jade Flowing Dust had a friendship.
The friendship between immortals and gods was an unbelievable thing in Xu Qing’s previous understanding.
However, after seeing the Empress’ actions after She became a god and the actions of the Star Flame High God blocking in front of him earlier, Xu Qing had his own understanding of gods.
Hence, he spoke softly.
“He laughed. He laughed very happily and contentedly.”
Jade Flowing Dust fell silent.
A long time later, His gaze landed on Xu Qing again and snorted.
“On account of that fellow who likes to posture…”
As He spoke, Jade Flowing Dust raised His hand and lifted the fishing rod. The line pulled up a three-headed, nine-colored fish.
With a loud bang, the strange fish exploded mid-air. Its blood and flesh gathered together, forming a flesh ball.
“There’s a little poser named Xu Qing who went out to train. A few years later, this little poser returned safely.”
This was Jade Flowing Dust’s story.
It was also His blessing.
After saying that, His story fused into the meatbail. The meatbail instantly squirmed and the nine-colored light inside flickered before disappearing one by one. Finally, it turned into a lump of rotten flesh.
As for the rotten flesh, it disintegrated into dust and dissipated into the world.
Xu Qing clearly felt an additional warmth on his body. A look of gratitude appeared in his eyes as he bowed.
Jade Flowing Dust retracted His gaze and continued fishing.
A while later, following the indication from the Star Flame High God, Xu Qing flew past Jade Flowing Dust and stepped into the outer sea.
It was as though he had walked into an isolated world. The familiar chaos and violence blew over with the sea breeze.
They had arrived at the outer sea.
“He actually gave you a blessing. Little fellow, this blessing is profound. You have to know that it’s only a matter of time before He steps into the True God realm.”
“This blessing will always accompany you. The moment He steps into the True God Realm, it will be equivalent to having the protection of a True God on your body.”
Star Flame frowned and felt a little unhappy. However, She still told Xu Qing how precious this blessing was.
The reason why She was unhappy was that after the blessing, She was unable to see through Xu Qing’s body at a glance like before…
“Alright, what’s your destination? Although I don’t know, I know that it’s definitely not the outer sea.”
Star Flame glanced at Xu Qing.
“Also, you have the aura of a pass token on you.”
“The vast majority of people don’t know about the matters in the outer sea, but how could the gods not know?”
“However, using the outer sea to head to the other star rings is quite difficult.”
“Although you have a pass token that can exempt you from the cultivation restriction, but…”
“The token doesn’t mean that you will be able to pass through smoothly.”
Star Flame looked at Xu Qing meaningfully.
Xu Qing fell silent and was about to speak.
However, Star Flame smiled and licked Her lips, not giving Xu Qing a chance to speak.
“However, it’s different with me here.”
“If you want to use the outer sea to head to the other star rings, you have to open the passageway first.”
“There are two ways to open it. The first is to rely on a ritual. This requires at least three Divine Platforms to take action at the same time and a large number of divine creatures as nutrients.”
“I can help you. After all, I have almost fully entered the Divine Platform, and it’s even more so for my two sisters. If I help you, I can barely open a path for you.”
“However, this consumes a lot of my energy, so you know how to repay me, right?”
Star Flame’s fiery gaze became even more intense.
Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever as he asked.
“Isn’t there a second method?”
Star Flame raised Her brows.
“The second method? It requires Star Ring Grass. Ignite it, and the passage will open, as Star Ring Grass was born specifically to open passages!”
“This grass looks ordinary, like straw, but it contains a faint starlight. However, this grass is almost extinct and does not exist in Wanggu. It is said that only in the outer seas at the intersections of various star rings can you occasionally find a small seedling.”
“Therefore, it’s better for you to choose the first method.”
Xu Qing silently took out a straw from his storage bag.
Star Flame’s eyes widened as She looked at the grass.
This straw was the item that fell from the mouth of the golden rat he had encountered in the outer sea.
In the Summer Immortal Palace, when he exchanged for the pass token, he had also asked about the method of passage. It was the same as what Star Flame had said. Hence, he had taken it out at that time and confirmed that the straw was none other than the Star Ring Grass.
Just now, he wanted to tell Star Flame but was interrupted by Her.
Seeing that Star Flame was staring at the straw in a daze, Xu Qing silently lit it. At the next instant… smoke rose into the air.
Soon after, the smoke became incredibly dense. After covering the sky, it suddenly sank and landed on the surface of the outer sea.
At the next instant, the surface of the sea rumbled.
As the seawater churned, thirty-five huge vortexes rumbled and appeared on the sea. They continued to spin, emitting waves of majestic, ancient aura..
