Erniu saying that his Dao heart might become unstable showed how firm his thought of going to the Demon Feather Holy Land was.

After all, Xu Qing knew that his eldest senior brother’s Dao heart was a desire for treasures and fortune.

Moreover, Eldest Senior Brother was right about one thing. Xu Qing recalled the experiences of the two of them. It had indeed been several years since they did something major.

Most importantly, Xu Qing was also very tempted by the opportunity to increase his cultivation in the Great Emperor’s seclusion place.

Xu Qing was clear that with his current cultivation, if he followed the normal routine, it would be extremely difficult for him to break through the Nihility and step into the Soul Accumulation Realm.

He really had too many divine authorities and needed to materialize a hundred divine authorities.

This gave him powerful combat strength but at the same time, it also became a terrifying restraint.

Only by comprehending all the divine authorities could he break through the Nihility Realm and become a Soul Accumulation expert.

Although this Soul Accumulation would be unprecedented, surpass all those in the same realm, and was infinitely close to being a god, the time it would take would definitely be incomparably long.

If it was during peacetime, it would be fine.

However, now that the holy lands were frequently descending and the war with Wanggu was erupting, the future fate was a blur…

At this moment, it was imperative for Xu Qing to increase his cultivation and become stronger.

Xu Qing fell silent and glanced at Feng Lintao and Yue Dong.

Feng Lintao panicked and hurriedly put on a fawning expression.

Under Little Shadow’s control, Yue Dong also lowered her head respectfully.

After some thought, Xu Qing and Erniu finally looked at each other and spoke in a low voice.

“Eldest Senior Brother, if you want to go to the Demon Feather Holy Land to obtain such a fortune, we need an identity.”

Hearing that Xu Qing’s tone didn’t have any intention of rejecting, Erniu became even more excited. After his gaze quickly swept past Yue Dong and Feng Lintao, he chuckled.

“Isn’t this a ready-made identity?”

The panic in Feng Lintao’s heart intensified. Yue Dong’s eyes also revealed despair, accompanied by intense resentment.

Although Yue Dong’s body was possessed, she could see and hear. At that moment, she watched helplessly as the two people in front of her wanted to snatch her arrangements and seemed to want to do it with her identity…

Her heart was already tearing and dripping blood.

However, whether it was Xu Qing or Erniu, they naturally wouldn’t care about Yue Dong’s feelings. At that moment, Erniu licked his lips and continued to speak.

“Little Qing, do you still remember when we went to the Black Fleaven Race? At that time, we transformed into the Black Fleaven Race’s people and used the special medicinal pill of the Cloth Race, the Profound Heaven Demon Moon Pill!”

“I have a good relationship with the Cloth Race. When 1 lived there previously, they gave me many good things, including that medicinal pill. Moreover, it was a pill that was blank and hadn’t been branded.”

“So… you can become Yue Dong and I can become Little Feng. With this identity, wouldn’t it be perfect for us to head to the Demon Feather Floly Land?!”

The light in Erniu’s eyes lit up even more. At the thought of Xu Qing transforming into Yue Dong, he couldn’t help but be filled with anticipation.

When these words landed in Xu Qing’s ears, he immediately understood his eldest senior brother’s evil thoughts. Hence, he glanced at the other party and shook his head.

“Eldest Senior Brother, didn’t you say that you like Yue Dong? Her plan is so crazy and it’s very compatible with you. You’re the most suitable in nature to transform into Yue Dong.”

“In addition, you have experience transforming into female cultivators. Back then, when you transformed into the princess of the Sea Corpse Race, it was flawless.”

When Erniu heard this, his eyes widened.

“I’m your eldest senior brother, Little Qing. Your words are too hurtful. I’m sad.”

Xu Qing was unmoved. He looked at Erniu and made a suggestion.

“Or, the old rule?”

Erniu gritted his teeth as a sense of depression rose in his heart. He knew that the old rule Xu Qing mentioned was actually to fight each other.

It was just that if it was in the past, he still had some confidence. However, Xu Qing’s body was too unreasonable now. If they fought… Erniu felt that even if he died of exhaustion, he wouldn’t be able to do much damage.

Unless he unlocked more seals.

However… that was a method for when he had to risk his life. The consequences were too serious to unlock the seals without any cause.

However, transforming into Yue Dong prevented him from fulfilling his mischievous desire to see Xu Qing in women’s clothing, leaving him somewhat conflicted.

Seeing this, Xu Qing spoke softly.

“Moreover, Senior Brother, only someone like you, who understands human nature, acts with utmost smoothness, thinks with extreme meticulousness, and speaks flawlessly, can transform into Yue Dong and not be detected by outsiders.”

“This isn’t something an ordinary person can do. Here… 1 know that no matter how hard I work, I’m still inferior to you, Eldest Senior Brother. This time, 1 will study hard.”

These sentences made Erniu feel much more comfortable in his heart. He lifted his chin.

“You’re right!”

After saying that, he thought of the good fortune in the Demon Feather, so Erniu coughed.

“Alright, alright. You’re the junior brother. As the eldest senior brother, I’ll go easy on you.”

“I’ll become Yue Dong. Anyway, this isn’t the first time I’ve worn female clothes.”

“As for you, Little Qing, you’re my puppet. Learn well!”

Erniu glared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing knew when to stop and hurriedly nodded. At the same time, he revealed a touched expression and cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Erniu.

“Thank you, Senior Brother. I’ll remember this matter for the rest of my life and will definitely work hard to study!”

Seeing Xu Qing like this, although Erniu still had some doubts in his heart, it was mostly resolved. Hence, he waved his hand.

“Wait at the side first. For the Cloth Race’s Profound Heaven Demon Moon Pill to display its effect perfectly, it needs to fuse with the target first and envelop them, turning them into clothes.”

“After we wear them, as long as we don’t encounter a Great Emperor, nothing will go wrong.”

“This will take some time. About… a month.”

Xu Qing nodded. He then thought of Long Jiu whom they had encountered earlier and spoke in a low voice.

“Eldest Senior Brother, since it needs a month, I have something to deal with. See you here in a month.”

Erniu had always been diligent and passionate about doing major things. After hearing Xu Qing’s words, he waved his hand.

“Go, go.”

With that, he took a step toward Yue Dong and Feng Lintao. After he grabbed them, he brought them up a little higher and began to deal with them.

Xu Qing headed straight for the outside world. Very soon, he broke through the ice layer and appeared in the world.

The cold wind howled and snow fluttered in all directions.

In the wind and snow, Xu Qing closed his eyes and sensed.

When Long Jiu left back then, Xu Qing had already secretly left a mark on his body. At this moment, he sensed it and locked onto a direction before moving toward that direction.

He used sound to move.

Seven days later.

On the icy plain, Long Jiu stood in a broken place. His face was pale but his expression was neither servile nor overbearing. Fie cupped his fists and bowed to an old man from the Soul Accumulation Realm in front of him.

“I’m Long Jiu, a disciple of the Northern Fate Royal Family. Thank you for saving my life, Senior.”

“Junior will remember this kindness in my heart. In the future, if Benefactor comes to my royal family, you can look for me with this token. If you have any orders, Long Jiu will definitely do his best.”

With that, he left behind a token and took a few steps back. After bowing again, he calmly left.

The Soul Accumulation old man looked at the token and revealed the same expression as Erniu back then…

In the sky, Xu Qing had concealed his aura and was watching this scene.

He found Long Jiu on the first day. In the following days, Xu Qing followed the other party and witnessed Long Jiu’s extraordinary experience.

The other party… had encountered a total of three dangers. All of them were life-and-death crises which could kill him If he wasn’t careful.

However, every time, he would encounter rescuers.

Moreover, there were no traces of any arrangements during the entire process. Everything seemed to be a coincidence.

Every time he was saved, Long Jiu would give out a token.

“The fluctuations of divine authority on this person’s body became stronger as he gave out the tokens…”

“It will mature very soon…”

Xu Qing followed Long Jiu’s figure from afar.

With these past few days of observation, he had discerned more information.

“Why would such a divine authority related to luck appear in the body of a cultivator who doesn’t have any divinity on him?”

“Moreover, it’s very obvious that this divine authority is incomplete.”

“It’s as though there was an existence that split the true divine authority of luck into countless parts. One of them was placed in Long Jiu’s body.”

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes.

“The truth will be revealed the moment the divine authority in his body matures.”

Xu Qing took a step and disappeared without a trace.

Just like that, while remaining concealed, another half a month passed.

Long Jiu’s extraordinary adventures appeared several more times until he only had one token left. Moreover, under Xu Qing’s gaze, he met another benefactor.

As he thanked and handed over the token, the divine authority fluctuations on Long Jiu’s body suddenly boiled and erupted.

This eruption didn’t affect a large range, but it caused waves in the sky.

A returning aura suddenly arose from Long Jiu, pointing beyond the heavens…

As for Long Jiu himself, he didn’t notice all of this and continued to move forward. However, his body had clearly lost weight and his essence, qi, and spirit instantly dimmed.

It was as though his soul, his body, and everything else had become nutrients at this moment.

They transformed into a thread that connected to the starry sky.

However, he still didn’t sense anything.

It was as though his cognition had been blinded.

In the end, he even lost the strength to move forward and fainted, but his expression was filled with satisfaction…

This bizarre scene caused Xu Qing’s heart to turn solemn. He took a step forward and appeared beside Long Jiu and pressed on his forehead.

At the next instant, Xu Qing sensed that in the distant starry sky, there seemed to be a huge ball of light. It kept expanding and collapsing.

This ball of light emitted an aura that even Xu Qing felt was terrifying. That was… a True God!

Thousands of threads of different lengths rose from Wanggu.

Every one of them was a divine authority of luck.

One-third of them had already extended into the starry sky and were connected to the ball of light.

Xu Qing’s body trembled. Because the other party wasn’t conscious and the distance was too far, his body could withstand it.

He put his hand away from Long Jiu’s forehead and his eyes revealed a dark glint as he looked at the sky.

“Senior Jade Flowing Dust once said that True Gods won’t truly perish. As long as Their true names exist, even if They die, They will return from nothingness…”

“This is a True God who is returning!”

“The method of Its return is to split Its divine authority into thousands of parts and parasitize them in the bodies of living beings.”

“However, it’s still too early for It to return completely. It needs the guiding line formed by the thousands of incomplete divine authorities of luck to mature completely before it can meet the conditions for Its return.”

“The price for every thread of mature divine authority is complete sacrifice of the parasitized target, just like this Long Jiu who is about to die.”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at Long Jiu, who was withering. Sensing the divine authority of luck in the latter’s body, a hint of determination and madness quickly appeared in his eyes.

“Since that’s the case… what if I snatch it? It can be considered saving this person’s life..”
