Chapter 1064 You blew yourself up...

As Xu Qing opened his mouth, a murderous aura emanated from him, like a cold wind sweeping across the square, spreading chill into the hearts of everyone here.

The immortal masters here, no matter what their previous positions were, now that Yue Dong is in charge, they naturally share the same hatred and show hostility towards Xu Qing.

The young master of the Yun family also felt murderous intent in his heart, and he would not allow anyone to hurt Yue Dong.

As for the representatives of the various mountain masters, they had long heard of the feud between Xuechenzi and Yuedong. There was no reason for them to get involved at this moment, and they also did not think that the two sides would really fight to the death here.

At most it's just a battle.

Besides, even if there is life and death, it has nothing to do with them.

So after Yue Dong’s words, the old man who was the first ruler of the mountain left first with a gloomy expression.

The other Lord Mountain representatives also left, and the last to leave was Lin Kun from the Fifth Lord Mountain.

Before he left, his eyes fell on Xu Qing.

After Xu Qing nodded slightly, Lin Kun smiled and walked out of the Immortal Art Hall.

As all parties left, Xu Qing was the only representative left to dominate the mountain. Facing the hostility of these immortal masters and the young master of the Yun family, Xu Qing remained calm.

There was a flash of coldness in Yue Dong's eyes, and he spoke softly.

"You too, go down. No one is allowed to enter without my order."

The immortal masters here all lowered their heads. Even though they had some concerns in their hearts, they had to obey Yue Dong's orders, so they all retreated.

Only the young master of the Yun family not only did not leave, but walked towards Yue Dong, as if he wanted to confront Xu Qing together with her.

Even Erniu felt helpless towards this person.

It’s really that the other party... gave too much.

Whether it was items or help, Erniu felt it was not appropriate to treat them coldly, so he spoke calmly.

"This is a private matter between me and Xuechenzi."

The young master of the Yun family paused. After seeing Yue Dong's determination, he took a deep breath and chose to respect Yue Dong.

"Well, I'll be outside, Dong... Just give me a shout and I'll come in right away."

As he said this, he stared at Xu Qing with murderous intent in his eyes, then left reluctantly.

Xu Qing saw this scene and felt strange in his heart. Until the young master of the Yun family left, only he and Yue Dong were left here. And after Yue Dong raised his hand to set up an isolation ban... the strange feeling in Xu Qing's heart appeared on his face.

"Xiao Aqing, what's that expression on your face!"

Noticing the expression on Xu Qing's face, Erniu felt awkward and glared at him.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Nothing, congratulations to Senior Brother for taking over the Western Demon Feather Immortal Art Hall and becoming a Great Immortal Master!"

Xu Qing said this and bowed with his fists clasped.

Seeing Xu Qing like this, Erniu no longer cared about his previous expression. His heart was filled with pride and satisfaction, and he raised his chin.

"I, your senior brother, am just testing my skills. I don't really care about the status of a grand master."

Although he said that, that expression and the raised chin were all telling Xu Qing... come and praise me, praise me more.

Xu Qing had a very accurate understanding of Erniu's habits, so after glancing at the other's brows, he thought for a moment and spoke softly.

"Looking across the entire Western Demon Feather, there are many people who aspire to become great immortal masters, but they can only look up but cannot achieve it."

“From this we can see that the excellence of our eldest senior brother is unmatched even in this Demon Feather Holy Land.”

Hearing this, Erniu was overjoyed. It was extremely pleasant for him to be praised by Xu Qing.

Seeing this, Xu Qing glanced at Erniu's brows again and continued speaking.

"After all, that great elder is a powerful soul master, especially his wind, rain, thunder, lightning and fire, which are even more powerful..."

Having said that, Xu Qing paused deliberately and looked at Erniu.

Erniu spoke arrogantly and disdainfully.

"That's nothing. Mine is even more awesome. That old guy uses wind, rain, thunder, lightning and fire, while I use gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Each of the five elements is a treasure!"

Xu Qing seemed to be thinking about something, and then continued the conversation without leaving any trace.

"I think the eldest brother should use the five elements of wood as the key fusion and refining point."

Erniu sneered, with an air of being knowledgeable.

"You don't understand this, wood won't work, I mainly use gold!"

"Gold?" Xu Qing shook his head, expressing doubt.

Seeing Xu Qing's questioning, Erniu couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao Aqing, you are ignorant. The gold I used is not simple. It was the gold you used to self-destruct..."

When Erniu said this, he suddenly paused, realizing that he had said something wrong. He was shocked and immediately changed his words.

"After I announced my identity, that... this..."

Erniu had sweat on his forehead, and Xu Qing's eyes were sharp at the moment. Looking at Erniu who was unable to come up with a story, he spoke lightly.

"Big Brother, why did I self-destruct back then?"

Erniu smiled awkwardly and took a few steps back.

Xu Qing took a step forward, broke through the air in an instant, appeared in front of Erniu, staring at his brows.

"Big Brother, the thing hidden between your eyebrows has always given me a sense of commonality. This is the gold you mentioned, right?"

Erniu broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that he could no longer hide the truth, so he rolled his eyes and spoke in a righteous and stern voice.

"Now that you've found it, I'm relieved. Back then, you blew yourself up in the human race's capital, and your body turned to ashes, leaving only a few bone fragments. I collected them bit by bit for you, with great difficulty, and I was going to give them to you."

"But I'm worried that you'll feel sad when you see your own remains, so I decided not to make you sad and to keep them on your body as a souvenir..."

As he spoke, Erniu became more confident.

"Is it wrong for me to keep a souvenir?"

Xu Qing looked at Erniu, speechless for a long time. Finally, he looked grim and shook his head.

"Big Brother, this furnace tripod is from your past life, no wonder you were beaten to death back then, you took everything."

Erniu felt guilty and was about to speak.

Outside the square, there were waves of restrictions. It was the Yun family's young master who was worried, so he created the waves to inquire.

The fluctuations did not stop until Erniu sent out a message to appease the people.

Xu Qing glanced at the direction where the young master of the Yun family left, and thought of the behavior of his eldest senior brother, so he spoke earnestly.

"Big Brother, you must treat this person well."

Erniu was thick-skinned enough, so he pretended as if he didn't understand and raised his hand.

"Let's not talk about that, Xiao Aqing. In a few days, the retreat of Emperor Mingyan will be opened. Some time ago, you went all the way to Xi Moyu with... that person. So, that person is that person?"

Erniu asked hurriedly.

Xu Qing nodded.

Erniu took a breath.

"As I guessed, it's obvious that he wanted to eat all by himself from the beginning. But Xiao Aqing, you and that guy went to Xi Mo Yu. With such a good opportunity, did you just take the challenge and become famous?"

Erniu looked at Xu Qing suspiciously.

"This is not the style you and I have honed over the years. With such a great opportunity, shouldn't we do some private work?"

Xu Qing blinked.

"I went to the East Demon Feather Immortal Art Palace."

Erniu's eyes lit up.

"and then?"

"Then, I took a mark."

Xu Qing raised his hand and the mark of the Five Dog House Immortals appeared on his palm.

Erniu's eyes suddenly widened, staring at Xu Qing's palm, his eyes brighter than before.

"Haha, you are indeed my junior brother. You have the same style as me. I told you that if you don't know how to take advantage of this opportunity, you are really stupid."

"This mark... is a treasure!"

Erniu licked his lips.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"Unfortunately, according to my research, the Five Dog House Immortals require a specific ritual and inheritance to obtain, and I only have this one mark, so I can't master it using normal methods."

"Oh? Let me try." Erniu said, raising his hand to grab the mark on Xu Qing's palm, as if he was performing a magic. The three phantoms behind him raised their hands at the same time.

With this grab, he really took the mark and pressed it between his eyebrows.

Then, under Xu Qing's attention, Erniu and the shadow behind him were shocked at the same time and closed their eyes.

Obviously, he was immersed in this weakened version of the Five Dog House Immortal Technique.

It was not until a long while later that Erniu opened his eyes, showing a look of palpitations. He let out a long breath and handed the mark to Xu Qing.

"Great!"

"But it does require some special inheritance and rituals, otherwise you can only feel it but cannot master it..."

Erniu frowned and looked at Xu Qing.

"You just said that it is difficult to master this magic with normal methods, so... does that mean there are unnatural methods?"

A faint light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes. He stared at the mark in his hand and spoke in a low voice.

"After I returned to Dong Mo Yu, I used the morning glow to simulate it, but failed."

"But then an idea came to me, which is to constantly feel the weakened version of the immortal art in this mark, letting it explode in my body again and again, so that I can slowly bear it and then produce corresponding antibodies."

"The principle of antibodies is to remember the characteristics of the invader. The more you know about it, the more comprehensive the antibodies you produce."

"So, although I am unable to actively learn this magic due to the lack of inheritance and specific rituals."

"But, when I used this mark to release this magic on my body again and again, my body developed more and more antibodies to this magic. When it was enough, my antibodies and understanding of this magic gradually became comprehensive, and I remembered this magic, just like an instinctive memory."

"And the antibodies made me remember this magic instinctively, which means I have indirectly mastered this magic and successfully circumvented the restrictions."

"As for how I can actively perform it after I remember it instinctively, the method is to simulate the morning glow."

"Use the simulation of the morning glow to truly demonstrate the power of this magic, because the core is real."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he looked up at Erniu.

Erniu opened his eyes wide and stared at Xu Qing blankly. After a while, he took a deep breath and couldn't help but admire Xu Qing's idea in his heart, and murmured to himself.

"Fantastic ideas, incredible."

"But it sounds like... it really works!"

Xu Qing nodded and glanced at the restrictions in the square.

"But the premise of all this is to ensure that I am not affected by the explosions of magic. Although it is a weakened Five Dog Magic, it is a strange magic."

"So, Senior Brother, I also have a request when I come here this time."

"I need you to protect me, and once I sink, at the critical moment, combine our Six Thieves' powers to wake me up from the Five Dogs Magic."

Upon hearing this, Erniu nodded solemnly, and then the two of them discussed it. Xu Qingming left, while Erniu made a diplomatic representation and then chose to go into seclusion.

That night, Xu Qing returned.

In this way, time passed as the two of them studied and experimented with immortal arts.

Five days passed.

The major event that has attracted the attention of the entire Mo Yu Holy Land is about to begin as Mo Yu Emperor leads his men from the west, as the rulers of all parties in Mo Yu East are watching, and as Lu Lingzi comes out of seclusion...

The day for the place where Emperor Mingyan was in seclusion to be opened has come!
