722 Broken Sword Life Lantern! (2)

The difference between getting the life lantern from the Sword Holding Palace and snatching it outside was that there would be a record of the origin of this lantern.

When Xu Qing exchanged for the life lantern, he got a jade slip that recorded the information of this lantern.

“This lantern is called the Broken Immortal God Devourer. The source of its bloodline is the ninth Heavenly General of the Mystic Nether Era of the human race. However, it’s not the Heavenly Marshal’s own lantern but of his descendant. It was separated from the great general after he died in battle in the era of the Human Sovereign Eastern Triumph.”

“It’s about killing, breaking myriad laws, and devouring blood.”

“It is suspected that evil thoughts may dwell within, as many who merged with it before gradually became insane and bloodthirsty. Therefore, it is not to be taken lightly, and caution is advised.”

Xu Qing sensed the content in the jade slip and then looked at the black broken sword in front of him. After some thought, regardless of whether it was effective or not, he circulated the purple crystal in his body and suppressed it just like how he had suppressed the shadow back then.

After suppressing it a hundred times in a row, Xu Qing felt a little more at ease.

The shadow at the side trembled when it saw this scene.

Xu Qing didn’t look at it. He picked up the black broken sword again. After some thought, his right hand became translucent, enveloping the broken sword. He held it near his sea of consciousness, approaching D132.

He paused for a moment before sending it into D132.

Although the god’s finger had restrained its aura and was in a deep sleep, Xu Qing still rubbed the sword against the finger a few times before feeling more assured.

He suppressed it with the purple crystal to eliminate any evil thoughts. If they weren’t completely eliminated, he was warning them by putting the broken sword near the god’s finger.

It was a warning that the evil thoughts that might exist in this broken sword had to be obedient.

After doing this, Xu Qing thought about it and circulated the Heavenly Dao Mosasaur. After it manifested in his body, it swallowed the broken sword in one gulp and refined it again with the Heavenly Dao inside it.

After that, he simply placed it beside the purple crystal as though he was feeding the crystal.

Xu Qing didn’t know if it was an illusion but he vaguely heard a mournful cry.

Xu Qing blinked and didn’t care. At that moment, he was completely at ease and truly fused this black broken sword into his body.

At the next instant, above the life fog in his sea of consciousness, the sea of fog rumbled and lightning flashed. An ancient Heavenly Palace in the shape of a sword formed inside.

It rapidly manifested. The entire process only lasted for about fifteen minutes.

This was the eleventh Heavenly Palace in Xu Qing’s body.

The instant it appeared, a powerful fluctuation erupted from Xu Qing’s body and filled the entire Sword Pavilion. The aura on his body was much more powerful than before, as though it had transformed into a sharp sword that had been unsheathed. The baleful aura was even denser, as though it wanted to destroy the world.

If a Nascent Soul cultivator was here and sensed Xu Qing’s energy, they would be dumbfounded. This was because Xu Qing’s ten Heavenly Palaces earlier were already astonishing enough but now, he was even stronger.

After all, everyone’s Heavenly Palace contained different items for suppression. This variety in combinations led to a significant gap between the Golden Core cultivators, apart from their cultivation realms.

cultivators in the Heavenly Palace like Xu Qing, who possessed such quantity and quality of golden cores, were rare in the entire Wanggu Continent. While it wasn’t to say that there were none, each one of them was an extraordinary individual with great fortune and often stood out as an outstanding figure within their clan. They were usually renowned throughout their entire race.

“Whether I can obtain the last life lantern is not something I need to consider for now. Right now, I’m about the same level as the great circle of perfection!”

Xu Qing judged after sensing his aura.

Inside his sea of consciousness, there were not only eleven complete Heavenly Palaces, but also one that was in the process of materialization, and more than half of it had already been completed.

“I hope this trip to the Immortal Forbidden can help me complete the last palace other than the life lantern!”

A bright glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. After a while, he closed his eyes and nurtured the Heavenly Palace formed by the life lantern.

Time slowly passed.

The day of the opening of the Immortal Forbidden arrived

As his command sword vibrated, Xu Qing opened his eyes from his meditation. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes before it slowly restrained itself. He expressionlessly stood up and walked out of the Sword Pavilion, where he saw Kong Xianglong waiting for him.

The two of them looked at each other and walked toward the original location of the Prison Department together.

Dense anomalous substances spread out from the huge pit there, and waves of wild shrieks and howls rang out.

It was as though all living beings were crying and screaming, shaking the minds of anyone who heard them.

If a cowardly person heard these shrieks and cries, their timidity would erupt doubly and they would try to get as far away as possible.

However, half of the cultivators who were arranged to enter the Immortal Forbidden were Sword Holders from Fenghai County who had survived many battles.

Although some of them had lost limbs and hadn’t fully recovered, their aptitude wasn’t ordinary, and they had undergone the baptism of war. As a result, these individuals who emerged from such hellish trials emitted a monstrous murderous aura, showing that they had killed countless enemies.

All of them had experienced many life-and-death situations and weren’t afraid of anything.

Their temperaments had been refined to the extreme.

Hence, in the eyes of the other cultivators in the surroundings and the various races who were watching, these people who gathered at the edge of the deep pit gave off an extremely special aura.

Although there weren’t many of them, even in a crowd, they were easily recognizable.

And now that they had gathered together and formed an army, this aura was even more obvious.

The soldiers who came from the Grand Imperial Capital Region, despite having experienced their fair share of battles, paled in comparison to the severity of the trials endured by these Sword Holders. They stood beside them, serving as mere background figures.

It wasn’t just these soldiers of the Imperial City. All the cultivators in the surroundings seemed to have become background figures at this moment.

No matter who arrived, it was hard to capture the notice of these Sword Holders.

This lasted until Xu Qing and Kong Xianglong appeared.

The two tall and skinny figures walked over from afar. Their white Sword Holder Daoist robes emitted a cold presence.

One had a rough face and stubble, while the other had an extraordinary jade-like face and calm gaze.

The moment they appeared, the silent Sword Holders all turned their heads and looked at the two of them. Their eyes revealed a glimmer as they saluted and made way.

Xu Qing and Kong Xianglong didn’t stop in their tracks. They walked into the crowd and walked to the front. They stood together with the dozens of Spirit Repository Sword Holders.

Although their cultivation levels weren’t high enough, their contributions and statuses were enough for them to stand here.

After they arrived, their auras fused into one with their comrades here without any obstruction, as though they were a part of them.

This scene caused waves in the hearts of countless spectators in the surroundings. It was the same for the imperial soldiers and cultivators of the various races.

In the sky, the Seventh Prince, who was walking over, also cast his gaze at the two figures standing in front of this group of veteran Sword Holders for the first time.

“He’s that Xu Qing?” The Seventh Prince asked softly.

The Deputy Governor beside him replied.

“Your Highness, it’s him. Xu Qing used to be the edict bearer of the previous Palace Master of the Sword Holding Palace. He was also the one who made a record in my Fenghai County by achieving 100,000 feet long light in the heart inquisition trial. When the front line was in urgent need of supplies, he was the one who prepared them. He was the one who coordinated the reinforcements from the two provinces and made a great contribution to Fenghai County. He is also one of the few grade two battle merit holders in this war.”

“100,000 feet light in Heart inquisition?” The Seventh Prince didn’t care about those contributions but his gaze froze when he heard these words.

“Yes.” The Deputy Governor smiled.
