813: Chapter 216: Ascend to Heaven, Coveting the First Layer 813: Chapter 216: Ascend to Heaven, Coveting the First Layer Qing had concerns, but he was not worried.
Baiyin personally made an assessment, his family’s White Dragon possesses Immortal Sovereign combat power, and not to mention the modern era, it could stride freely even if it returned to ancient times.
Baiyin gave half of his existence to him, and even without the Immortal Sovereign combat power, he could still carry him across Yuan Zun’s territory and safely deliver him to the Temple.
Moreover, Ji Feixue was innately skilled in battle.
There hadn’t been any more unusual feelings from Su Huanian’s side, so he must be safe.
Thinking so, Qing immersed himself once again in cultivation.
Time once again fell into an unknowing, unfeeling consumption, Qing closed his eyes and cut off all perception from the outside world, immersing himself completely in his cultivation.
To enter the gateway of Xuan Wu, finding a method and possessing the Xuanwu Demonstration Decision was not difficult.
Merging the Xuanwu Statue with oneself, if cultivating with the Spiritual Energy from the outside world, it would take at least twenty years.
This was just the most basic entry-level, and that was after Qing had contemplated the Seven Stars of the Northern Dipper for thirty years.
But with the help of the Ancient Qi in the Fairy Ascension Platform, the speed was more than ten times faster?
The results were also much better.
Stars within Qing’s body were lit one by one, and after an unknown amount of time, a roaring sound emerged from the neck of the turtle body.
Immediately after, an indistinct long chant emanated from Qing’s Dragon-Turtle mouth.
It sounded like a turtle, like an ox, and contained a hint of the Dragon’s Chant.
It was as if a common beast had refined and reached a level to speak.
This shout was not the voice of the Dragon Turtle, but that of Xuan Wu!
Below the third layer, the Sealed Emperor Cultivators paled, looking at Qing in horror; they felt vibrations within their own authority—the ordinary Sealed Emperor Cultivators did not understand what authority was, but they distinctly felt that with the roar of the Dragon Turtle, their foundations were shaken.
The Dragon Turtle had become their nemesis!
What kind of Cultivation Technique had this Dragon Turtle comprehended on the Fairy Ascension Platform?
Everyone was shocked and pale.
Emperor Luan opened his eyes, looking at Qing.
This was merely a simple roar, without any malicious intent from Qing, not an attack, and it did not trigger the laws of the Fairy Ascension Platform.
It was like the aura emitted from their bodies, perceived by the cultivators below, causing them to collapse in an instant.
Let alone cultivating, they couldn’t even perform normal actions, but as long as it wasn’t a malicious aura suppression, it normally wouldn’t be considered an attack.
Emperor Luan’s eyes were deep, the essence of Xuan Wu on this Little Dragon Turtle was becoming increasingly dense.
With Qing’s long chant, he felt a sense of relief in his chest; the second star, Ox Star, was opened!
Following the Dipper Star was the Ox Star, the Ox that challenged the Dipper!
The Ox of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid!
Located in the throat area of Xuan Wu.
This shout brought out a bizarre aura, Qing dispersed the aura, and his Divine Sense sank into the throat area’s multi-storied star space, which had also turned into a starry sky.
But unlike the vitality of the Dipper Star, here—Qing could only think of one term to describe it, myriad tribulations!
The Ox Star, undoubtedly, related to calamity.
Qing’s understanding of the Four-sided Star Region wasn’t very extensive; the Four Sacred Beasts in this world are inconspicuous, if Qing hadn’t understood step by step, he might even believe that Xuan Wu didn’t exist in this world!
Records about Xuan Wu and the Four-sided Star Region in this world were too sparse.
However, from contemplating the starry skies, Qing had some insights.
Xuan Wu was guarding the Northern Star Region, attributed to yin, water, and cold.
His roar was vastly different from the Dragon Turtle’s Divine God Might.
It had to be more overbearing, more gloomy, deadly upon its sound!
To be roared at by Xuan Wu means no chance of survival, with extreme killing intent!
However, the specific functions at this moment were still unclear, as Qing had just begun to merge the image of Xuan Wu with himself and was far from the true essence of Xuan Wu.
He needed to cultivate slowly, discovering bit by bit the divine skills of Xuan Wu.
After Qing’s roar, the starry sky in his throat revolved, improving his refining speed of Gang Wind and Yuan Qi again.
There was no change in Qing’s Boundary Status, still at Opening Two-fold Heaven, but his speed of absorbing Gang Wind kept increasing.
The clouds below were lifting him continually towards the higher sky.
After merging with the Ox Star, Qing opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
It was roughly March of the solar calendar when he entered the Fairy Ascension Platform, and now looking at the starry sky, it appeared to be August.
Five months to merge only two star regions, the pace was a bit slower than expected…
Ji Feixue and the others still hadn’t come.
Qing suddenly suspected whether the two had quietly gone to refine Sword Mountain.
Could it be that upon a later encounter, the one standing in front of him would be a Tao Master who had mastered their field?
That would be somewhat disappointing…
Thinking thus, he saw outside the Fairy Ascension Platform, a scroll flying toward him; the people of Guiwang Mountain were returning from somewhere unknown, starting to enter the Fairy Ascension Platform one after another.
The scroll did not include his wife and daughter, inevitably causing Qing some disappointment.
With everyone around him cultivating, it wasn’t suitable to be too enthusiastic, so he nodded in greeting and closed his eyes to stop paying attention.
The Xuanzhen Taoist rightfully headed to the first layer, passing by Qing’s side, and looked at the Dragon Turtle lying across the Third Layer, momentarily at a loss for words.
He had just helped Ya Ya organize the Divine God Objects of the national fate, thinking that perhaps within a hundred years, he might see the event of a daughter surpassing her father, yet hadn’t expected Qing to be so brilliant here?!
Judging from the expressions and eyes of the surrounding cultivators, had they all been shocked by this Dragon Turtle?
Five months into the opening of the Fairy Ascension Platform, already on the third layer—this was much faster than his own speed back in the day—not just faster, but completely overwhelmed!
A cultivator cannot be compared with a Divine God Beast, as their flesh bodies can’t withstand nearly as much.
It took him thrice entering the Fairy Ascension Platform to reach the Third Layer.
The Xuanzhen Taoist remained silent for a moment, then silently went to the first layer, choosing a corner with no one to descend.
“You’re late, fellow Taoist!” Emperor Luan opened his eyes and greeted him with a slight smile.
Xuanzhen Taoist laughed, “I’ve aged, and my Divine Sense has suffered considerable loss, inevitably delaying my actions.
Next time, Your Majesty, try not to strike at this old man at every turn; who knows, maybe I will arrive quicker than you!”
