"Hey, Xu Qing, even though you won't let us go with you, you still have to go with Senior Brother Jingxin's team."

Li Pingan winked.

Xu Qing was squeezed out but he didn't feel dissatisfied at all:
"I will go and get the treasure that can break the seal of the sect altar by myself. You can try to grab as many opportunities as possible in the Dragon Palace. If you encounter any trouble, come to me."

Li Ping'an's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This is definitely a life-saving talisman.

Jiang Xianyue and Zhao Yinxi also understood what Xu Qing meant by this sentence, but they were more curious about how strong Xu Qing was now.

"Xu Qing, how strong are you now?"

Jiang Xianyue knew that Xu Qing had now broken through to the fourth level.

But it seemed that it took Xu Qing less than a year to go from the third level to the fourth level.

This speed is incredibly amazing.

Since the establishment of Yuanfu Temple, it seems that few people have been able to do this.

For example, it took the sect leader, Taoist Qingxu, more than three years to break through from the third realm to the fourth realm.

At that speed, everyone in the temple was astonished.

Xu Qing managed to move this record forward by two years. In the past and in the future, the only ones who could break this record would probably be those cultivators who reincarnated and cultivated again and reached the highest level in one step.

When the team leader Brother Jingxin heard this question, he also glanced sideways.

He was equally curious.

The cultivation aptitude displayed by my junior brother is indeed terrifying, but didn’t he just have a breakthrough?

Why is the master so sure that his junior brother can easily retrieve the ritual vessel that contains the destiny of the previous dynasty, and even suppress all the geniuses in the Dragon Palace at this time?

You must know that the birth of the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas attracted forces from all over the world.

There are countless geniuses gathered here, and there should be quite a few who have amazing talents and strong abilities.

"No one in the fourth realm should be my opponent." Xu Qing did not hide it, "The same is true for ordinary fifth realms. The strong ones can survive a few moves."

“Perhaps only those at the peak of the fifth realm can truly fight.”

Li Pingan and his two companions also had several disciples at the third and fourth realms who were accompanying the team. For example, senior brothers Ning Fang, Ning Yue, Ning She, and An Ran, who had gone with him to Yangzhou Prefecture to control the flood, were all stunned when they heard what was said.

this
That’s too crazy!

"Xu Qing, you just broke through the fourth realm, right?" Jiang Xianyue couldn't help asking, "Except for the peak of the fifth realm, how many moves can others have against you at most? Doesn't that mean that your current strength is already comparable to the peak of the fifth realm?"

"That's true, but whether I have just broken through or not doesn't affect my combat power level." Xu Qingyun said calmly.

"Really?" Senior Brother An Ran at the side couldn't help but interrupt.

He is now at the peak of the fourth realm, and is only one step away from breaking into the fifth realm.

It would have been fine if Xu Qing had caught up with him in a very short time, but now even his combat power has been left far behind?
How embarrassed is this for him?!

Xu Qing nodded.

Not to mention his own cultivation and combat power, just with the appearance of the six guardian gods, how could an ordinary fifth-level cultivator be his opponent?

An Ran looked dejected and her heart was broken.

He had witnessed Xu Qing's strength during his visit to Yangzhou Prefecture and Fengyang Prefecture, so he did not doubt that what Xu Qing said was false.

Why.
If you compare goods, you will have to throw them away, if you compare people with others, you will die.

Compared with others, he is not a genius at all.

Li Pingan was not as hit as the others.

He had long known that Xu Qing was a beast and was not a good person. All he was thinking about at this moment was how to follow Xu Qing to curry favor with him and take advantage of opportunities.

Senior Brother Jingxin saw that the atmosphere was not good, and immediately said:

"The stronger Junior Brother Jingdu is, the better it will be for you. If you encounter trouble in the Dragon Palace, don't be polite to Junior Brother Jingdu and seek his help."

"That's right!" Li Pingan clapped his hands excitedly, "Brother, what you said makes sense."

"With Xu Qing's strength, he can walk sideways in the Dragon Palace. Who dares to stroke a tiger's beard when I see him?!"

Xu Qing shook his head speechlessly.

Even if he and Senior Brother Jingxin said this, other fellow disciples probably wouldn't come to him unless they were in some life-threatening situation.

After all, everyone here is a genius.

Geniuses are naturally arrogant and won’t ask for help easily.

Only Li Ping'an is a shameless guy who has no self-respect as a genius at all.

The rest of the journey was speechless.

The white clouds carrying everyone passed across the sky, and the scene of the earth was rapidly receding.

Yuanfu Temple was not far from the mouth of the East China Sea. In half a day, the mouth where Qilin had killed the Lord of Hongze Lake and ascended to the throne of god was already in sight.

But the Dragon Palace is not at the estuary, it is still far away in the deep sea, and it will probably take another day to find it.

Everyone was meditating on the clouds to kill time.

Xu Qing did not seize this little time. He stood next to Senior Brother Jingxin and watched the lights flying across the sky.

They are all people who are rushing to Dragon Palace like them.

"Brother, why are the Four Seas Dragons so kind as to open the Dragon Palace to everyone?"

This question had been in his mind since he learned that the Dragon Palace allowed anyone to enter, but he just didn't ask it out loud.

"That is the holy land of their water tribe. There are countless natural treasures hidden in it. How could they let others get their hands on it?"

"The Four Seas Dragons and Water Descendants naturally did not allow people or demons other than the Dragon Clan to covet the Dragon Palace at the beginning." Senior Brother Jingxin smiled, "But those Four Seas Dragons and Water Descendants could not stop the people of the world."

"The birth of the Dragon Palace is such a big deal that it cannot be concealed. It is naturally impossible for those dragon-like water descendants in the four seas to have the whole thing to themselves."

"How did the portal to the Dragon Palace open?" Xu Qing's eyes flashed strangely.

Before he went into seclusion, although the Dragon Palace had already come into the world, its gate had never been opened.

Therefore, all forces can still maintain a peaceful state.

For those practitioners standing on the top of the mountain, one or two years, or even ten or twenty years, are nothing.

They have time to slowly waste time with the Dragon Palace, as long as the Dragon Palace does not disappear again.

Senior Brother Jingxin hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about that. One day, the Dragon Palace was opened, but at that time, the portal could only accommodate cultivators of the second realm."

"Is that so? When the Dragon Palace gate was opened, was there anyone paying attention to the Imperial Capital?" Xu Qing turned his head and looked in the direction of the Imperial Capital. "In other words, when was the Dragon Palace opened?"

After the incident of Emperor Ming creating the Holy Emperor, Tian Peng and the civil officials in the city mobilized the dragon veins and earth energy to form a formation to block all gazes heading towards the Imperial Capital City.

A fierce battle broke out outside the Great Wall at that time. Zhenwu and King Zhenbei fought hard and finally stopped the demons from moving south.

When he left, the formation formed by the dragon energy in the earth's veins had not yet been lifted.

He was anxious to leave the Imperial Capital, and in fact he had this concern.

If someone finds out what happened in the Imperial Capital, there will definitely be another wave of turmoil.

He had no external help, and in that top-level confrontation, he could only become an innocent bystander.

As a result, when Dasheng was in great crisis, the Dragon Palace happened to open, attracting all the attention in the Imperial Capital City.

How similar is this to the last time when the Lord of Hongze Lake walked across the river and successfully caused a national movement, and the emergence of the Dragon Palace attracted the attention of other countries and other forces?

Brother Jingxin thought for a moment and said, "It was not long after you went into seclusion."

Xu Qing could roughly guess who was behind opening the portal to the Dragon Palace.

"Junior brother, what happened in the Imperial Capital City at that time?" He asked after careful consideration.

The Yuanqi Sea was rioting, affecting the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles. How could he not feel it?
Xu Qing hesitated.

Then he activated his spiritual consciousness and told the story in secret. Senior Brother Jingxin was not a talkative person, so Xu Qing felt it was okay to tell him.

Brother Jingxin understood the whole story and fell silent.

Seeing his expression, Xu Qing knew that Senior Brother Jingxin didn't know how to comment on this matter.

Leave some space for you to figure it out slowly.

Xu Qing released his spiritual sense, gathered it into a line, and explored the ocean below.

Day and night change like spinning beads.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Ahead is the Dragon Palace!

Xu Qing didn't dare to use his spiritual sense to observe, and only used his naked eyes to look.

There was a huge vortex on the calm sea surface.

Surrounding this huge vortex, various water monsters were swimming underwater, and above the sky were various suspended mountains, floating islands, turtle islands, treasure ships, fragrant cars and other space magic tools, densely packed throughout the entire airspace, which actually made Xu Qing feel a little crowded.

"We're here, everyone wake up." Senior Brother Jingxin said slowly.

The sound reached everyone's ears, waking up Li Pingan and others who were meditating.

"Are we there yet?" Li Ping'an jumped up.

"Yes, we are here."

Li Pingan and others had actually been here at least once, so they didn't feel unfamiliar with the place. However, as the realm of the cultivators who could enter became higher, more areas of the Dragon Palace would be open, and the possibility of them encountering opportunities would become greater.

"Let's meet up with the people from Dasheng first." Senior Brother Jingxin said in a steady tone.

Naturally, no one else had any objection.

Not to mention that this was the order from Senior Brother Jingxin, the forces here were extremely complex and there was basically no place to stand if one did not stick together.

"How many forces are there here now?" Xu Qing asked

"Dasheng, Southern Xinjiang, the Western Regions, the monsters outside the Great Wall, the grasslands and the Great Snow Mountain." Li Ping'an counted them on his fingers.

“Almost everything has arrived.”

No wonder Uncle Qingzheng said that the current Dragon Palace is a stage for disciples from all major forces to perform martial arts.

If I could defeat other cultivators of the same level here, I would surely become famous throughout the world.

The base of Dasheng is a floating mountain. The mountain is divided into areas according to various forces. The closer to the top of the mountain, the higher the status.

Occupying the top of the mountain were representatives of the royal family, the imperial court, and the Arctic Exorcism House.

Slightly lower down, it is divided into four main areas according to Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and martial arts. Those who appear here are all the top sects and forces in Dasheng.

The Confucian area is naturally the four major academies of Yunshan, Daguan, Jingzhi and Guiyu;
The Taoist area includes Tianshi Mansion, Yuanfu Temple, Zhenwu Mountain, Chunyang Palace, Baiyun Temple, and Shushan Sect;

The Buddhist area includes the White Dragon Temple, the Infinite Path Temple, the Bodhi Temple, the Moonlight Temple, the Valley Hidden Temple, and the Lotus Hall;

The martial arts area includes Qiankun Yiqi Gate, Fengyue City, Guiyi Tower, and Hongfeng Villa.

These twenty sects are the most powerful sects in Dasheng today.

So far, Xu Qing has only dealt with four sects: Yunshan Academy, Baiyun Temple, Chunyang Palace, and Wuliang Temple, and has not had any contact with the others.

Originally, when traveling down the mountain in the third realm, one should be able to visit the locations of these sects.

But as a disciple of the head sect leader, he had to go to the Imperial Capital to take over the post of "Inspector".

Senior Brother Jingxin pressed the cloud down towards the Taoist area, and people from other Taoist temples cast their eyes over to him.

"Fellow Daoist Jingxin, why are you leading the team this time?" A person who was obviously of high status walked out from the Tianshi Mansion and bowed to Brother Jingxin.

Even though many people from other Taoist sects had never dealt with Senior Brother Jingxin, they all knew him. After all, he was of the Jing generation in Yuanfu Temple. If we really talk about seniority, he was a head higher than anyone present.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, the temple is busy with affairs and the elders are unable to spare the time, so they had to send me here." Senior Brother Jingxin responded with a smile.

Zhao?
Xu Qing turned his eyes slightly.

The Tianshi Mansion is different from other Taoist sects in that the position of the head is passed down through a single bloodline and is controlled by the Zhao family.

This man's surname is Zhao, so he must have a high status in the Tianshi Mansion.

"I see." Taoist Zhao from the Tianshi Mansion nodded, as if he understood. "However, Taoist Jingxin's status in Yuanfu Temple is not low, right? Why don't you arrange an elder position for you?"

"It's really not right."

Xu Qing frowned.

What does this person mean by this?
On the surface, it seems like he is standing up for his senior brother, but how can outsiders be allowed to interfere in the affairs of each family?

Senior Brother Jingxin still had a kind smile on his face: "Jingxin's ability is still limited, and he is not yet qualified to take on important responsibilities in the temple. He is not as noble as Brother Zhao."

The Taoist named Zhao hit a snag and was choked.

"No, it's just the influence of our ancestors."

The words seem humble, but in reality they are arrogant.

Xu Qing's impression of the man in front of him continued to decline.

But I didn't expect this person to bump into me on his own.

Taoist Zhao turned his gaze towards Xu Qing, and scanned him with the same eyes as a superior would use to look at a subordinate: "Is this the young disciple that the Great Immortal has just accepted?"

Xu Qing was not surprised that this person knew him.

It is understandable that other people don’t know him, but if even people from the same Taoist sect don’t pay attention to him, that is unacceptable.

"That's right." Senior Brother Jingxin pushed Xu Qing out.

"I am very quiet." Xu Qing bowed respectfully.

No matter how much you hate it in your heart, you still have to be polite on the surface.

The Taoist named "Zhao" on the opposite side did not dare to be arrogant, and quickly returned the greeting: "I am Zhao Qiming."

After a pause.

Zhao Qiming asked with a twinkling gaze: "Excuse me, what is Daoist Fellow Jingdu's current realm?"

"Junior brother, I am not talented. I have only just reached the fourth level of cultivation."

Zhao Qiming's eyelids twitched when he heard this.

talent? !

If he remembered correctly, the person in front of him had only been in the sect for more than three years.

He just started on the path of cultivation three years ago, and three years later he has made rapid progress and been promoted to the fourth level. Is this speed so fast that it is scary?
Is this what you call incompetence?
Does that mean he is not even “untalented”?
It took him two hundred years of hard training to advance to the fifth level. With this speed, he could be called a genius anywhere, but compared with the person in front of him, his achievements seemed a bit disappointing.

Zhao Qiming suddenly didn't want to talk anymore.

Senior Brother Jingxin smiled knowingly.

Most of the "Zhao" disciples in Tianshi Mansion are proud, but I'm afraid they won't dare to put on airs in front of their junior brothers anymore.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, when will the Dragon Palace reopen?" Senior Brother Jingxin changed the subject.

"It's almost time. You've arrived just in time. It will take another hundred breaths." Zhao Qiming replied and returned to his sect's headquarters.

Senior Brother Jingxin felt that they were about to enter the Dragon Palace, so he decided not to take his fellow disciples to visit other forces.

A hundred breaths of time passed in a flash.

Soon, with a "boom", the huge vortex on the sea level began to rotate -

The portal to Dragon Palace is opened!
As long as you pass through this vortex tunnel, you can reach the Dragon Palace directly!

"Take care, fellow brothers and sisters. Remember, life safety comes first. Opportunities are not as important as life!" Senior Brother Jingxin advised earnestly.

"Yes!" (End of this chapter)
