562 The Ghost Emperor Descends! (2)

As for the ratio of consumption borne by the two sides, it differed from person to person, based on the contract signed with the brain trees in the Great Void World.

Xu Qing suppressed the regret in his heart and waved his hand again. A second, third, fourth…

In the end, a total of 32 runes floated in front of him.

Each of them was a contract that could allow him to manifest the image in his sea of consciousness. As for the consumption, the Great Void World bore most of it, while he would only pay a little.

Xu Qing understood the reason.

This was the kind recognition from the brain trees in the Great Void World.

There were so many runes because the weight of this recognition was very heavy.

Xu Qing flicked his sleeve and kept the 32 runes, before closing his eyes and meditating.

Time flowed by and unknowingly, his body trembled again. The feeling of teleportation appeared and his figure disappeared from the big fish’s body, returning to the enlightenment cubicle of the Great Void Demonic Sect’s branch sect in the county capital.

As the teleportation ended, Xu Qing opened his eyes and recalled his experiences in the past three days. Finally, he took a deep breath and stood up to walk out of the cubicle.

He wanted to return to the Sword Pavilion and try to see if the demon transformation technique could materialize the Ghost Emperor as he had thought.

With this thought in mind, Xu Qing flew out of the Great Void Demon Transformation Sect’s branch sect and headed straight for the ground. After he arrived at his Sword Pavilion, he immediately stepped in and activated the surrounding array formation defense.

After doing this, Xu Qing checked his cultivation room.

The cultivation room of the Sword Pavilion formed a space of its own with a very large area.

After confirming that this place could barely accommodate the Ghost Emperor, anticipation appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He took out a contract rune of a brain tree and slowly fused it into the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness.

As he got closer, the rune shone with a resplendent light.

The light grew larger and larger until it transformed into a sea of light that enveloped the Ghost Emperor Mountain.

Immediately, a blurry mountain peak appeared on Xu Qing’s body, gradually replacing his figure.

Although it was much smaller than the true Ghost Emperor Mountain, it was still astonishing. Upon closer inspection, one could see that this mountain was a humanoid figure sitting cross-legged and meditating!

It was translucent and blurry, but its monstrous ferocity couldn’t be hidden. One could vaguely see that this humanoid figure was wearing pitch-black armor and holding a huge blade. He carried two worlds on his shoulder.

He was like the spirit of an evil god.

His armor emitted a power of destruction, and his huge blade seemed to be able to cut through the world.

An astonishing energy fluctuation filled with cruelty, madness, and anger toward the world emitted from his body.

There was also a rod that vaguely manifested on the figure’s knees, emitting a terrifying pressure.

This figure was none other than the Ghost Emperor!

As for his appearance, it was 80% similar to Xu Qing!

However, its entire figure was only 10% materialized and didn’t have any substance. But just this 10% surpassed the endurance limit of the Sword Pavilion, and rumbling sounds rang out, as though it was about to shatter.

As cracking sounds echoed, the contract rune in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness shattered into pieces.

The sea of light dissipated and the Ghost Emperor phantom outside Xu Qing’s body also instantly dissipated.

Xu Qing’s body trembled and he opened his eyes, spitting out a large mouthful of blood. However, his eyes revealed intense excitement.

“Yes!”

Xu Qing’s breathing was hurried. He had yearned for the Ghost Emperor Mountain to manifest for a long time but he was unable to do so. It was only at that instant earlier that he finally felt hope of success.

Although he still failed in the end, this was because the contract rune had reached its limit.

“Ten runes should be enough to complete one manifestation!” Xu Qing was tempted. He took a deep breath and suppressed the thought of continuing to try.

He only had 31 contract runes left now, and he felt a little pained to waste them in a test.

“It can be used as my trump card. Based on rough calculations, I should be able to use the Ghost Emperor’s body three times.”

A sharp glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. At the same time, he was thinking about how he should continue to accumulate military contributions to make a trip to the Great Void World after using up all the contract runes.

Just as he was calculating this matter, his voice transmission jade slip vibrated and the captain’s lifeless and confused voice rang out.

“Junior Brother…”

Xu Qing started and took out the voice transmission jade slip.

“What happened again?”

“Junior Brother, what do you think is the reason? Why?” In the jade slip, the captain’s voice was filled with bitterness and deep confusion.

“I sold the answers to that fool Wu Jianwu at a high price, and even watched as he recited them all. I was even worried that he would forget and tested him several times. I even watched as he walked toward the heart inquisition. In the end, I watched as he… got a light that was 50,000 feet long!”

“Fifty thousand feet!!”

“Same answers, but why am I only ten feet? I originally planned to let him be ten feet too, so I could have a companion…”

Xu Qing tacitly agreed. After a long time, he comforted, “Even ten feet has a good point. At least, this is unique.”

The jade slip fell silent. After a long time, the captain’s despondent voice rang out.

“Junior Brother, you really don’t know how to comfort people.”

“Do you think that Wu Jianwu put himself in the shoes of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether and recited a poem in front of the emperor?”

“No, I have to ask!”

Xu Qing held the jade slip and felt a lot of sympathy for the captain. Considering the friendship between fellow disciples, Xu Qing mourned for a few breaths…

After that, he quickly kept the jade slip and got up to head out. He then began to accept missions to earn military contributions.

Time flowed by and Xu Qing wasn’t sure if the captain finally got an answer. During this period of time, his main focus was on military contributions.

There were many missions to patrol, search, capture, and assist.

Among them, Shan He, Wang Chen, and Night Spirit helped him many times. They were from different departments. Every time there was a mission, regardless of the scale of the mission, they would call everyone over.

Occasionally, Kong Xianglong would also call them to complete big missions together. Although the contribution points were distributed, the speed of completion was astonishing.

After Zi Xuan heard that Xu Qing yearned for military contributions, she issued an order as the person in charge of the Eight Sects Alliance’s branch sect. Hence, the Sword Holders who had come out of the Eight Sects Alliance in the past also helped.

After all, Xu Qing’s position was the Palace Master’s edict bearer. This identity and his 100,000 feet long light caused many people to be willing to befriend him.

Moreover, they all came from the Alliance.

Previously, it was because Xu Qing was too low-key and rarely interacted with others, so no one had this chance.

Now that Zi Xuan had given the order, everyone was more than willing. Very few people would reject such an easy way to build a good karma.

In the end, Xu Qing completed six to seven missions every night.

His military contributions began to increase rapidly. Even though it wasn’t high, as he watched the number of military contributions continue to increase, a sense of satisfaction still rose in his heart.

Such a crazy mission acceptance also caused Xu Qing’s reputation in the county capital to spread more and more.

As for the Prison Department, Xu Qing continued to go over during the day. Everything was normal and there were no more problems with the little boy.

Half a month later, Xu Qing, who had just walked out of D132, was about to continue accepting missions. However, before he could leave the Prison Department, his Sword Holder’s command sword sent a decree from the Sword Holding Palace.

“Xu Qing, come to the Sword Holding Palace immediately!”

The voice was very dignified, revealing a cold and murderous intent that left no room for doubt.
