I was chased at the beginning, and I got the first quick sword

Chapter 516 The Token?

It contains the three elements and one energy within, and can communicate with heaven and earth without.

This [Heavenly Ultimate Formless Divine Power] can be said to have revealed all the profound mysteries. Chu Qing felt the changes inside and outside his body and really had an urge to go out and show off his divine power in front of others.

However, the area outside the camp was already crowded with people, and the night was almost over, so he forcibly suppressed the thought.

He opened his mouth and said:
"Everyone, please disperse. We'll set off at dawn. Let's not waste any more time here."

He spoke casually, and his voice instantly spread out.

Chu Qing raised an eyebrow. He had indeed incorporated sound techniques into his speech, but now he felt even more at ease and comfortable using them.

It seems that it's not about putting something into practice, but rather that the method arises spontaneously from a single thought!
"This should be thanks to the [Heavenly Ultimate Formless Divine Power]!"
"With the cultivation level of the Jade Illumination Divine Strategy approaching the seventh level, and the blessing of the Demonic Light Heart Sutra."

"This [Heavenly Ultimate Formless Divine Power] has also crossed the threshold of the seventh level... The ninth level is the ultimate realm. I wonder what the result would be if I could truly break through to the ninth level..."

Thinking of this, Chu Qing suddenly sighed for no apparent reason.

He integrated what he learned from various sources into his own, and it seems that he has never before mastered what he learned to the extreme, and his internal strength has already changed.

More or less, I felt somewhat resentful.

"Unfortunately, the path I took is one that ordinary people cannot take."

"Even if one wants to pass on a unique skill like the [Nine Chapters of Divine Jade], it is not something that an ordinary person can cultivate."

"Now that things have come to this, I've taken on two apprentices, but I can't find either of them..."

"The battles that follow will be fierce, and it's possible that we won't have a real chance to pass on what we've learned until everything is settled."

"Once my disciples have mastered my martial arts, how should we proceed?"
"First, we start with the two energies of Yin and Yang, then we enter the energy of wind and clouds?"
"I fear that before Yin and Yang can mature, they will grow old, so how can we talk about wind and clouds?"

"Yes, we need to think of a way to let them lay the foundation and gradually introduce them here. That would be the best approach."

"However, as we think about this matter along the way, since there is still some time before dawn, why not use the Martial Arts Monument to deduce the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, Cloud Dispelling Palm, Heavenly Frost Fist, and One Yang Finger?"
"It might even inspire new methods..."

"Having come this far, in the realm of swordsmanship, I dare not say I have reached the pinnacle, but I have certainly reached an extremely high level."

"As for fist and foot techniques, there is still a lot of potential to be explored. Now that we have the Martial Arts Monument, we should try even more!"

Thinking of this, he had a sudden thought and once again sank into the lake of his mind.

Upon hearing Chu Qing's words that they should disperse, the various experts outside left without hesitation to rest.

The night in the Ten Deadly Caves was icy cold, and it wasn't until the sun rose that it brought some warmth.

The experts from all over the Southern Region emerged from their tents, most of them looking quite exhausted. They had witnessed two great shows the previous night, truly seeing the power of their alliance leader.

So much so that I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep through the rest of the night.

With Chu Qing's order, the group broke camp, packed up their belongings, and left the tomb raiders behind before proceeding methodically towards the outside of the Ten Deadly Caves.

After his cultivation last night, Chu Qing appeared even more unfathomable today.

He sat on the throne of the leader of the alliance, with a master on each of the four sides carrying the throne, making him extremely stable. Even when traversing mountains and valleys, he would not feel the slightest jolt.

Ren Beiming saw that his eyes were slightly closed and assumed that he was resting.

But then he suddenly spoke:
"Go and invite Master Jiashe here."

"Yes."

Ren Beiming quickly agreed, leaped up, and went to find the holy monk Jiashe.

A moment later, the two arrived beside the leader's throne.

Just as the holy monk Jiashe was about to put his hands together in prayer, Chu Qing waved his hand:

"Master, please excuse the formalities. Tell me, where are the Earth Slaughter Soldiers now, and where did you meet them?"

"Based on the estimates, when will they arrive in the Southern Region?"

These questions should have been asked last night, but Chu Qing was in a hurry to open the box last night, so she decided to bring them up on the way.

Kassa, of course, would not hide anything from this, and quickly said:

"After the Tianyi Gate Assembly, this humble monk carried the Vairocana Jade Buddha all the way back to the Western Regions."

"Unexpectedly, just as we reached Jue Tian Pass and entered the Western Regions, we discovered traces of the Heavenly Evil Cult."

"Only after we captured them did we realize that they had already occupied Xiangnan City outside Jue Tian Pass."

"I am confident in my martial arts skills, so I decided to venture deeper into the southern part of the city to investigate further."

"Unexpectedly, in the city lord's mansion, they unexpectedly discovered a general under the command of the Earth Slaughter Soldier."

"Later, I learned that this person was named Zhan Nu."

"At the time, I heard him talking to others, saying that the Earth Slaughtering Army Master had already gathered more than 50,000 members of the Heavenly Evil Cult and would soon lead his army into the Southern Region."

"By taking Xiangnan City, they have cleared the last obstacle before entering the Southern Region."

“I was shocked by what he said, because it means that the Western Regions have been completely occupied, and even my Great Sumeru Zen Monastery... I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape disaster.”

"Unexpectedly, this slight leak of energy was discovered by the war slave."

"He made a move and exchanged a palm strike with me. I was no match for him, and I dared not venture too far into the heart of the Western Regions."

"I am not afraid of dying alone, but I am afraid that I will not be able to save the Western Regions and the Great Sumeru Temple. Instead, I will let the Southern Region suffer a large-scale invasion by the Heavenly Evil Sect without any preparation."

"Therefore, they fought and fled all the way..."

"Because at the Tianyi Sect Assembly, this humble monk knew that you were coming to the Ten Absolute Caves to rescue the Ghost Emperor, so I went deep into this place to ask the Alliance Leader for help!"
"On the one hand, we can hold off the Heavenly Evil Cult outside the Southern Region Gate; on the other hand... if we win this battle, we can lead our army into the Western Region."

"If the Great Sumeru Zen Monastery still survives, it can also save our temple from danger."

Kassa recounted everything he had seen and heard in detail.

Chu Qing listened silently, and finally nodded gently:
"Alright, I understand. Thank you, Master."

“Benefactor… This humble monk knows that this matter is no small thing, and is fraught with danger and difficulties.”

"If you can truly kill the Earth Slaughterer and resolve the crisis in the Western Regions, this humble monk will certainly present you with the Vairocana Jade Buddha without fail!"

"Thank you very much, Master."

Chu Qing smiled:
"Master, please go back first. The Earth Slaughter Soldier Lord... I will surely kill him."

"it is good."

Gash nodded, left the throne of the alliance leader, and returned to his original position.

Chu Qing was silent for a moment, then heard Wu Qianhuan ask from the side:
"what are you thinking?"

"Thinking about this martial world..."

Chu Qing smiled slightly, then said to Ren Beiming:

"Please go and fetch the shepherd boy again."

"Yes."

Ren Beiming immediately took flight and returned a moment later with the shepherd boy.

Shepherd Girl then flew to Chu Qing's throne as the leader of the alliance. Her lightness skill was superb, and she was as light as a feather. The four experts carrying the throne did not feel any extra weight on their shoulders. The two in front did not turn around and hardly noticed that there was an extra person on the throne.

Chu Qing turned and glanced at her:
"I didn't expect that you didn't stay in the Ten Deadly Caves to dig up the tomb of the First Martial Emperor."

"You've destroyed most of the mechanisms in the First Emperor's Tomb, so I won't feel any sense of accomplishment going there again."

"The only alchemy furnace I had my eye on was destroyed by you and the Ghost Emperor. What's the point of keeping it there?"

The shepherd boy rolled his eyes, squatted down on Chu Qing's throne without any regard for appearances, and asked:
"You called me here just to ask this?"

"No."

Chu Qing shook his head:

"What I want to know is, what kind of person is your father?" "My father... is a henpecked husband."

"??"

The shepherd boy chuckled:
"Who can blame me for my mother's good looks? Let me tell you, my mother is almost forty years old this year, and she is still a great beauty, just as beautiful as me... I don't know how my father endured the long period of celibacy in the Valley of Abandoned Gods?"

"..."

Is this how a daughter would describe her own father?

Chu Qing frowned and said softly:
"Speak properly. How could the mighty Xuan Emperor be as you say?"

"Why not?"

The shepherd boy said:
"Back then, my father almost gave up his position as the Xuan Emperor for my mother's sake."

"My grandfather almost removed him from the family genealogy..."

"After all, he married into the family directly in order to marry my mother. The previous Xuan Emperor... who was my grandfather, was so angry that he vomited blood."

"Carrying the Xuan Ying Sword, he chased him for over a thousand miles."

They said they would cut off his legs.

"It turned out that my dad was no ordinary person either. He pulled off a clever escape, leaving the old man completely bewildered. By the time the old man realized what was happening and found my dad, it was too late.

"Maybe I was already settled in my mother's belly at that time."

"When the old man saw this, he stood at my door in a rage and cursed my father for three days and three nights before finally leaving in a huff..."

"After returning, I wanted to remove my father's name from the family genealogy."

"Later, someone persuaded me to stop, saying that apart from my father, there were really no other capable people in the business."

"He is not worthy of the title of Emperor Xuan."

"Later they found out that it was indeed the case. They studied it for a long time and finally managed to find my father and bring him back."

"The matter of marrying into the family has happened, and no one can change it. But it absolutely must not be publicized... No one other than the parties involved should know."

"And he must inherit the position of Emperor Xuan."

"Otherwise, break his legs."

"...I thought your father always liked to break You Zong's legs because You Zong was too fast."

"Now it seems this is your family tradition."

"What family tradition? I don't have that kind of habit."

The shepherd boy shook his head resolutely, denying this.

Chu Qing chuckled and stroked his chin:
"And how is your mother? Over the years, have you business people approved of her?"

"So what if they don't acknowledge it? With my father protecting me, who dares to say anything? I heard that a few years ago, some people even called my mother a witch."

"As a result, my father tortured me to the point of wishing I were dead..."

"After that, no one dared to say anything. In the end, even my grandfather treated my mother with deference and accepted this daughter-in-law. Naturally, no one dared to say anything after that."

"When my grandfather passed away, my mother handled all the funeral arrangements."

"My father was in seclusion at the time, saying that he had already cultivated his Nine Profound Divine Skill to the thirteenth level, making him the first person in the history of the Shang Dynasty to achieve this..."

"I only found out my grandfather had passed away after I got through customs."

The shepherd boy, as if he were an outsider, casually uttered these words.

Chu Qing listened silently, and finally nodded:
"I see……

"Then let me ask you a question."

"You want to ask about the relationship between my father and the Ghost Emperor? Or are my father and the Ghost Emperor the same kind of person?"

The shepherd boy looked at Chu Qing with a half-smile.

Chu Qing raised an eyebrow slightly:
"The little girl is quite clever."

"After all, I am a shepherd boy!"

After a moment of smugness, the shepherd boy pondered for a moment and then said:
"I can only say that among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there were good and bad. Some people appeared to be upright gentlemen on the surface, but were actually ruthless and vicious behind the scenes."

"Some people may appear unkempt, but their inner principles are more upright than anyone else's."

"When I say good things about my father, it probably sounds a bit like I'm praising myself..."

"But I think my dad is a good man."

"He is a really good person!"

"Besides, isn't there another saying?"

"What?"

"How bad can a man who treats his wife well really be?"

"...Who said that?"

“That’s what my dad said.”

Chu Qing silently gave a thumbs up, then said softly:
"Give me a token that will convince your father of my identity."

Without a second thought, the shepherd boy pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to Chu Qing.

Wu Qianhuan had been listening to the two talking the whole time. Seeing Mu Tong'er's decisiveness, she knew that Mu Tong'er had expected this. She glanced at what Mu Tong'er was holding and her eyes widened immediately.

Chu Qing ignored it and took it, intending to examine it closely. But at first glance, the object looked very familiar!
It seems that a certain rascal has a penchant for stealing these kinds of things.

"Pink? That's not really your style. I thought you'd prefer black..."

Chu Qing held the small object in her hand, and spoke somewhat recklessly.

"I go!"

The shepherd boy blushed and, with indescribable speed, snatched the bodice from Chu Qing's hand and stuffed it into his bosom without even looking at it.

Then he took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom and placed it in Chu Qing's hand:

"It feels so similar, I picked up the wrong one."

"...You'd better really have taken the wrong one."

Wu Qianhuan's soft voice drifted over.

"Really, really..."

The shepherd boy quickly slipped away and arrived beside Wu Qianhuan:

"This was taken off last night. I wanted to wash it, but I didn't have time."
"I was in such a hurry to leave this morning that I just stuffed it in my clothes... What I was trying to take just now was that handkerchief."

“That was embroidered for me by my father.”

"...Your father embroidered a brocade handkerchief for you!?"

Chu Qing and Wu Qianhuan spoke in unison.

Then the two of them looked at the light blue handkerchief in their hands. It looked like it had been around for a while, with some wear and tear on the edges and corners.

Upon opening it, a lotus flower is embroidered in the center, and the character '玄' is embroidered in the lower right corner.

"This is a gift from my father. Over the years, although he has given me countless things, this handkerchief is the only one I cherish. Even if I get a new one later, I don't want to exchange it."

“Take this to my father, and he will definitely believe you.”

"After all, no one else would have thought that a somewhat worn-out handkerchief could be an important token."
