As he spoke, a light flashed in Huang Emperor's hand. Qi Yue felt his mind clear up, as if there was something extra. Just like when he first learned Kirin's ability, the Xuanyuan Eight Swords had been completely integrated into his memory. As long as he thought about it carefully, it would appear.
Qi Yue looked at Huang Emperor's solemn and serious expression. He didn't dare to say that he didn't want the Xuanyuan Sword anymore. Towards Huang Emperor, he still had a lot of respect. "Teacher, is this enough? Then you are the sword spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword. Will you come with me? Haha. " At this time, he suddenly thought that if he brought the soul of Huang Emperor back to his own era, he didn't know how shocked Grandmaster Zagrú and the others would be. Going out and suddenly bringing back the great ancestor of humanity, just thinking about it made him feel a sense of accomplishment.
Huang Emperor shook his head and said, "No, I am the guardian sword spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword. Now that you have become its new master, I don't need to be with the Xuanyuan Sword anymore. The Xuanyuan Sword has the soul of Xuanyuan. You have to get along with it, this is the only way for you. As for me, I have to stay in this Xuanyuan Tomb and continue to guard it, waiting for the return of the Xuanyuan Sword. "
Qi Yue frowned and said, "So, teacher, you have to stay in this place?"
Huang Emperor looked down. At this time, the Xuanyuan Tomb had undergone earth-shaking changes. Everything had disappeared, just like the outside world. The mountains and rivers, all kinds of plants, and the sun, moon, and stars in the sky, all looked so real. Smiling, Huang Emperor said, "Isn't this place good? Since I made the choice, I don't have the right to regret it. Master and use the Xuanyuan Sword well. That is the best repayment you can give me. After you leave, the Xuanyuan Tomb will seal itself. Outsiders will never be able to find its door again. "
Qi Yue asked anxiously, "What about me? Even I can't? "
Huang Emperor looked at him and said, "You are the master of the Xuanyuan Sword, so of course you can. As long as you want, the Xuanyuan Sword will tell you the way back."
After hearing what Huang Emperor said, Qi Yue suddenly smiled. "That's good. As long as I can come back to see you, it doesn't matter. Whether or not I can get the Kunlun Mirrors, I will come back here often to see you."
Huang Emperor looked at Qi Yue and said calmly, "Alright, you should leave this place. I think your friends must have felt the changes in Xuanyuan's Tomb. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid they will force their way in. If that happens, it won't be good."
Qi Yue nodded and looked at Huang Emperor reluctantly. He said, "Teacher, where should I leave from?" At this time, the golden door at the entrance had disappeared.
Huang Emperor put his hands together in front of him and separated them. A golden door appeared out of thin air in front of him and Qi Yue. He said, "Qi Yue, I know you want to go back to your own era. You must remember that the Kunlun Mirrors are very difficult to control. With your cultivation, it is impossible for you to go back to any era. Fortunately, you came from your original era, so you have the symbol of that era. Therefore, if you want to return to your own world after obtaining the Kunlun Mirrors, you must use the Kunlun Mirrors to activate the Lost Formation."
"Lost Formation? What's that? "Qi Yue looked at Huang Emperor in surprise.
Huang Emperor said, "The Lost Formation is the number one Divine Formation in the ancient times. Even the gods are extremely afraid of it. The formation of the Lost Formation is left in our world, carved on the back of the Kunlun Mirrors. Therefore, after obtaining the Kunlun Mirrors, you must first learn the Lost Formation. You must remember this. At the same time, because of the Lost Formation, although the Kunlun Mirrors are ranked ninth among the Ten Great Divine Weapons, they are also one of the most difficult to obtain. I'm afraid the difficulty is no less than obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword."
Qi Yue nodded and said, "I understand, Master, then I'll take my leave."
Huang Emperor nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll tell you the last things I know. According to the legends, the Lost Formation uses the Fuxi Zither as the core to control people's hearts; the Shen Nong Cauldron as the core to refine immortal medicines; the Kongtong Seal as the core to achieve immortality; the Kunlun Mirrors as the core to travel through time; the Nuwa Stone as the core to regenerate enchantments; and the Xuanyuan Sword as the core to form the God Execution Formation. That's all I know. However, you must not try to use the God Execution Formation unless you can truly use the power of the Xuanyuan Sword. Otherwise, you must not try it, because it will destroy your body and soul. "
Qi Yue said, "Master, then I'll really be leaving."
"Go," Huang Emperor calmly looked at Qi Yue, not a trace of emotion could be seen on his face.
Qi Yue looked at Huang Emperor and said, "Then I'll really, really leave."
"Stop talking so much nonsense," Huang Emperor angrily kicked Qi Yue's butt, and kicked him into the golden door.
"Ah! Master, take care of yourself, I'll be back … "His voice became softer and softer, and Qi Yue's body finally disappeared.
Looking at the slowly closing golden door, the calm look in Huang Emperor's eyes changed a little. "I'm leaving, I'm leaving. I'm still alone, and this is only my world."
Before Qi Yue could see the scene in front of him clearly, he could already feel a huge pressure coming towards him. The huge pressure caused the Thundercloud Force in his body to react naturally. The Creation's Network emitted a light blue light, protecting his body. It was the Water Thundercloud Force that came into play. He then realized that he was already in the middle of the Green River, and he was surrounded by clear water.
"Qi Yue." A surprised voice rang in Qi Yue's mind. Using his spiritual power, Qi Yue turned around in the water and saw Black Tortoise Longjiang carrying Yi Ruo, Snow Girl, and Wen Ting on his back. They were just a few dozen meters behind him. Fortunately, the water was clear, or else he wouldn't have been able to see them.
Longjiang's speed in the water was definitely top-notch. When Qi Yue was observing, it was already not far away from him. Qi Yue pointed upwards, gesturing for Qi Yue to go up first. Longjiang's body emitted a circle of yellow light, and a suction force pulled Qi Yue into its protective range. Then, its thick limbs paddled at the same time, and it swam upwards.
Everyone floated to the shore at the same time. Before Qi Yue could say anything, Wen Ting had already jumped into his arms. "You bastard, you scared me to death."
Qi Yue didn't know what had happened outside. He looked at Yi Ruo with a questioning look. After Yi Ruo explained, he found out that when Xuanyuan's Tomb changed, the entire headquarters of the Tu Clan experienced a slight earthquake. With Longjiang and Yi Ruo's sharp senses, they immediately realized that the earthquake came from underground. They associated it with Xuanyuan's Tomb, and they immediately brought the two girls here. When they arrived at the entrance of Xuanyuan's Tomb, they saw that Xuanyuan's Tomb was already closed. At that moment, everyone was anxious, and they were looking for other exits under the water. At that moment, Qi Yue's sudden appearance was discovered by Longjiang, and their worries turned into joy.
Gently stroking Wen Ting's soft hair, Qi Yue patted her shoulder and smiled, "Alright, I'm back now, aren't I? Don't forget, our Kirin is an auspicious sign, it won't die so easily. "
Wen Ting stood up and waved her little fist at Qi Yue. She humphed and said, "If you make me worry again, I will …"
Qi Yue was in a good mood after obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword. He couldn't help but tease her, "You will what?"
Wen Ting blushed. She punched Qi Yue's stomach and said, "I will beat you until you can't take care of yourself."
Qi Yue cooperated and pretended to be in pain. He smiled evilly and said, "That's good. I will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future. With a beautiful girl taking care of me, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to be unable to take care of myself."
Yi Ruo walked to Qi Yue's side and looked him up and down. She couldn't help but feel surprised. Even though she didn't see him for a long time, the current Qi Yue didn't look as arrogant as when she first saw him. Right now, his aura was much calmer than before, and he didn't have the same aura as Kirin. However, when he looked around, his eyes became unusually sharp, like a sharp sword that was ready to strike.
"Mom, I have made you worried." Looking at Yi Ruo's concerned gaze, Qi Yue revealed a childish look. When he looked at Yi Ruo, he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the Xuanyuan Sword's illusion. Even though he knew that it was just an illusion, he could faintly feel that it happened to him. This was a completely inexplicable feeling, but Qi Yue realized that his heart, which had given up hope for finding his parents for many years, was now full of hope again. He should hurry back. As long as he could return to his own era, he might really be able to find his biological parents. That would be such a wonderful thing!
Qi Yue smiled and revealed a faint glow in his eyes. Perhaps it was because he was thinking about how to find his parents. At this moment, his gaze suddenly became unusually sharp. Even Yi Ruo, who had reached the top level of Kirin, was shocked.
"Qi Yue, could it be that you have …" Yi Ruo asked subconsciously.
Qi Yue smiled and nodded at Yi Ruo.
Yi Ruo abruptly took two steps back. Her charming face first turned deathly pale, and the corners of her mouth slightly twitched. Even her entire body was trembling. Her originally large eyes glared at Qi Yue, as if she wanted to eat him up. Immediately after, a large flush appeared on her pale face due to her agitation. With a trembling voice, she said, "Is, is this real? Longjiang, Longjiang … "
Longjiang hurried to Yi Ruo's side and held her arm. He also looked at Qi Yue in shock. Not to mention Yi Ruo, even he couldn't believe it was true. Although the Genesis Network had some hope in Qi Yue, Huang Emperor was too powerful. Moreover, Huang Emperor was only at the second stage of obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword. Therefore, they didn't have much hope in Qi Yue. They just wanted to try their best. However, when they saw Qi Yue's affirmative answer, they were so excited that they couldn't speak for a while.
Wen Ting and Snow Girl both knew that Qi Yue had recognized Yi Ruo as his mother, but they weren't sure what Qi Yue was doing in Xuanyuan Tomb. Yi Ruo only told them that Qi Yue was going to cultivate there for a period of time. At this moment, when they saw Yi Ruo and Longjiang's shocked expression, they couldn't help but look at Qi Yue in confusion.
Qi Yue looked at the four of them and couldn't help but smile. He nodded firmly and said, "It's true, Mom. I succeeded. Maybe it's fate, but I really succeeded. "
Yi Ruo covered her mouth, and tears flowed down uncontrollably. She looked at Qi Yue with red eyes and choked with sobs, "I succeeded. I really succeeded. The Xuanyuan Sword has been unearthed again. No wonder there was an earthquake just now. No wonder I felt that the weather today is different from before. The spring of the Divine Beasts is here. The spring of mankind is here."
Qi Yue stepped forward to hold Yi Ruo's hand and said, "Mom, don't be too happy. Although I have already obtained it, I am still far from being able to truly use its abilities. I still need to continuously cultivate before I can do so."
Yi Ruo grabbed Qi Yue's arm and shook her head. She said excitedly, "No, child, you don't understand. This isn't as simple as obtaining a Divine Wife! You have to know that the reappearance of the Xuanyuan Sword means that the opportunity for us Divine Beasts is here. I trust my own judgment more and more now. Child, you are the savior sent by the heavens. You are sent to save us Divine Beasts! This is great, this is really great. With the Xuanyuan Sword, let's see if the King of Beasts will dare to be so presumptuous. "She seemed to have ignored Qi Yue's words and held onto Qi Yue's arm excitedly.
At this moment, the energy wave on Qi Yue's body suddenly changed. A circle of faint white light moved rhythmically. Qi Yue's heart skipped a beat. He quickly broke free from Yi Ruo's hand and the Creation's Network floated back about ten meters. His eyes flashed, and a white light shot out from the Kirin Pearl on his chest. As the light flashed, a huge White Flood Dragon appeared out of thin air.
The White Flood Dragon didn't look any different from when she first became Qi Yue's messenger. However, the scales on her body had become more lustrous. Even her eyes were filled with vitality.
"Master, I'm awake." The White Flood Dragon wasn't as rude to Qi Yue as the Deep Sea Nether Snake. Once she saw Qi Yue, she immediately lowered her head and bowed respectfully.
Qi Yue smiled faintly and said, "White Lady, you've finally woken up. If you hadn't woken up, big brother Nether Snake would have fought me to the death. We're all on the same side, so there's no need to be so polite."
The White Flood Dragon nodded. There was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. Obviously, it was because of Qi Yue mentioning the Deep Sea Nether Snake. Qi Yue understood and activated the Thundercloud Force in his body. There was another flash of light, and the Deep Sea Nether Snake appeared next to the White Flood Dragon. As soon as he appeared, he immediately pounced on the White Flood Dragon. "Ah, my precious White Snake, you're finally awake. I was so anxious."
The White Flood Dragon seemed to be a little uncomfortable with his enthusiasm. Her huge body twisted a little, and she kept a certain distance from him. Her gaze fell on Longjiang and Yi Ruo, and she said in surprise, "High Ambassador Black Tortoise, King of the Earth Kirin."
Yi Ruo's excited expression suddenly changed. She nodded at the White Flood Dragon and quickly walked to Qi Yue's side. She whispered in his ear, "Qi Yue, how many envoys do you have? Don't tell me you've already collected all of them?"
Qi Yue shook his head and said, "No, I only have these two envoys. They're my friends."
After hearing Qi Yue's reply, Yi Ruo heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Qi Yue, can you bring out the Xuanyuan Sword so that we …"
Qi Yue knew that Yi Ruo and Longjiang had put in a lot of effort for the Xuanyuan Sword. He smiled and nodded. He said, "Step back a little, in case you get hurt by the sharpness of the Xuanyuan Sword."
When Longjiang heard that Qi Yue was going to show off the Xuanyuan Sword, he immediately became serious. He hurriedly pulled Yi Ruo to the side. The Deep Sea Nether Snake, the White Flood Dragon, Snow Girl, and Wen Ting also revealed a curious expression. Even the Deep Sea Nether Snake, who had always been conscious in Qi Yue's body, could only feel the drastic change in the energy in his body. However, it didn't know that its master had already obtained the second of the Ten Great Divine Weapons, the Xuanyuan Sword.
Taking a deep breath, Qi Yue walked to the side of the river and stood still. His originally calm gaze instantly became sharp. Between his eyebrows, a spot of golden light shone gradually under the control of his mental energy. Qi Yue's gaze suddenly brightened. In the midst of the golden light, a soft sound was heard. As the golden light flashed, the two-meter long Xuanyuan Sword appeared in front of him with its scabbard.
When the Xuanyuan Sword appeared, the surroundings instantly became silent. Time seemed to have stopped the moment the Xuanyuan Sword appeared. A faint golden light flashed. The Xuanyuan Sword still looked the same as when Qi Yue saw it for the first time. The black hilt and the simple scabbard floated in the air. There didn't seem to be anything special about it.
Longjiang and Yi Ruo had already come to Qi Yue's side excitedly. Longjiang said with a trembling voice, "This, this is the Xuanyuan Divine Sword that assisted Emperor Huang to destroy Chiyou?"
Qi Yue nodded and said solemnly, "That's right. This is the Xuanyuan Sword."
Wen Ting and Snow Girl also came to Qi Yue's side. Wen Ting said doubtfully, "I can't see anything special about it. Could it be that the Ten Great Divine Weapons don't live up to its name?"
Perhaps it understood Wen Ting's words. As soon as her voice fell, the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly became different. Qi Yue felt his heart tighten. The Xuanyuan Sword that was originally floating in the air suddenly stood up. Then, a faint layer of light emitted from the scabbard. Because it was daytime, there was sunlight. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't be able to see the existence of the light clearly.
However, as soon as the faint light appeared, the surrounding atmosphere immediately changed. The Deep Sea Nether Snake that was originally whispering sweet nothings to the White Flood Dragon suddenly trembled. Its huge body suddenly crawled on the ground and actually trembled slightly. Its eighteen snake eyes were filled with horror as it stared in the direction of the Xuanyuan Sword.
At the same time, Wen Ting's expression changed as well. Her delicate body swayed slightly. If it wasn't for Qi Yue grabbing onto her, she would have already fallen to the ground.
Yi Ruo said in a low voice, "When the Xuanyuan Sword is out, all evil will bow down. You have the aura of a ferocious beast on your body. You must not resist. Otherwise, you might attract the attack of the Xuanyuan Sword." Just as she finished speaking, a strange phenomenon appeared.
The originally clear and calm Green River had a change. The slowly flowing river suddenly stopped under the illumination of the light on the Xuanyuan Sword. One must know that although this was a relatively long and narrow section of the river, it was still more than a thousand meters wide! For such a wide river to suddenly stop flowing, how much energy was needed? However, the power of the Xuanyuan Sword was far from just this.
The light shone again, and the originally calm mirror-like surface of the river suddenly split into two. Just that sharp aura alone was enough to easily split the surface of the river into two. The river below continued to flow, but the river above seemed to be sealed by something. The water surface was gradually expanding, but it couldn't flow in the original direction.
Longjiang took a deep breath and said, "As expected of the Xuanyuan Sword. Just its aura alone is enough to stop the flow of the river."
Without waiting for Qi Yue to summon it, a golden light flashed, and the Xuanyuan Sword disappeared. At the same time, the cold voice of the Xuanyuan Sword rang in Qi Yue's head, "I am not for display. If there is a next time, I will go on strike."
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but smile helplessly. As expected of a godly weapon, its temper was at the level of a godly weapon. He shook his head gently and looked at the crowd in front of him, saying, "This is the Xuanyuan Sword. Now, it can be said that it doesn't listen to my commands. It can be said that I am just a vessel for it. I don't really have the ability to command it. "
Yi Ruo looked deeply at Qi Yue and let out a long breath. She smiled and said, "No matter what, the Xuanyuan Sword has finally been unearthed, and the person who owns it is my son, who is also a member of the Kirin Clan. I have to tell this good news to the King of Godly Beasts as soon as possible. Qi Yue, we will set off tomorrow morning to meet the King of Godly Beasts. "
After hearing Yi Ruo's words, Qi Yue couldn't help but feel elated. After passing the test of the Xuanyuan Sword, he missed his friends and lovers even more now. He couldn't wait to return to the era that belonged to him. And the Kunlun Mirrors was the only way for them to return. Through Huang Emperor, it was confirmed that the Kunlun Mirrors indeed had the ability to send them back. At this moment, Qi Yue was very anxious.
Yi Ruo used her status as the Earth Race's High Priestess to arrange accommodations for Qi Yue and company before leaving with Longjiang. The Deep Sea Nether Serpent and White Flood Dragon also returned to Qi Yue's body to flirt. In the huge wooden house, only Qi Yue, Wen Ting, and Snow Girl were left.
Lying comfortably on the bed that was covered with straw, Qi Yue's mood was relaxed. His pair of sneaky eyes continuously scanned Wen Ting's body. Looking at him, Wen Ting even thought that he had cultivated some kind of X-ray vision.
"What are you looking at? We are together every day. Haven't you seen enough?" Wen Ting said impatiently.
Qi Yue smiled and said, "Of course not enough. It won't be enough even if I look at you for a lifetime. Tingting, can you officially accept me now?"
Wen Ting snorted and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back. You rascal, you are already in the Ancient Beast Era, and you still don't forget about these things. Hmph, you were born to be a little pervert. "
Qi Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Tingting, our precious daughter is still here. Shouldn't you save some face for me?"
The quiet Snow Girl giggled and said, "It's okay, I can pretend that I didn't hear anything. However, Father, I heard from Mother that you have a few girlfriends. You are really a playboy. If you let Mother down, I will ignore you. "
"Eh, when did the two of you become a united front?" Qi Yue asked curiously.
Wen Ting said proudly, "Of course, we are mother and daughter of one heart. Qi Yue, after you got the Xuanyuan Sword, did your strength increase? "
Qi Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Increase my ass! The Xuanyuan Sword is like a super cannon, and my Thundercloud Force is the cannonball. Now, I can't even shoot a cannonball. It doesn't have many benefits for me. Moreover, the Xuanyuan Sword itself has a soul and wisdom. If you want to command it, it depends on whether the old man is happy or not. In my opinion, the actual significance of the Xuanyuan Sword is far less important than what it represents. "
Wen Ting smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, we are not relying on its ability. If you can really command the Xuanyuan Sword, I will be surprised. Don't forget, our world is a balanced world. Do you think you are invincible? In your dreams. Even if you really have the strength of the Xuanyuan Sword, there is still the Pangu Axe to restrain it. "
Qi Yue said, "I have never thought of using the Xuanyuan Sword for anything. However, although I can't use the power of the Xuanyuan Sword, I think it can still be used to scare people. Last time, Mother and Senior Long Jiang used a fake Xuanyuan Sword to scare away the Bull Demon King. Now that we have the real one, isn't it easier to scare him away?"
After listening to Qi Yue's words, Wen Ting's expression suddenly became a little serious. "Qi Yue, Senior Yi Ruo and Senior Long Jiang guided you to obtain the Xuanyuan Sword. Will they …"
Qi Yue naturally knew what Wen Ting meant. He shook his head and said, "I don't think so. They are the strongest among the Mythological Beasts. Moreover, I have already informed them before. The actual power of the Xuanyuan Sword is not something that I can control. Moreover, they also understand that I am anxious to return to our world. They will not force us to stay."
Wen Ting nodded and said, "That's good. However, the Xuanyuan Sword is after all a sacred object in the hearts of the Tu Clan. You obtained the Xuanyuan Sword under the guidance of the two seniors. Naturally, you have a certain responsibility towards the Tu Clan and the Mythological Beasts. Do you still remember the request that Senior Yi Ruo mentioned? At that time, I felt that it was a little inappropriate when you immediately agreed to it. If I am not wrong, it must be a very dangerous task. I am really a little afraid. "
Qi Yue's gaze moved slightly. He stood up and walked to Wen Ting's side. He held her little hand and thought for a while before saying, "Since I have already agreed to it, no matter how difficult this request is, I have to do it. However, I believe that Mother will not allow me to take risks easily. After all, I have already recognized her as my mother. I can feel that her kindness towards me is completely from the bottom of her heart."
Wen Ting sighed and said, "You! Do you think that everyone is as emotional as you and always place feelings as the first priority? In the face of big matters, some things are uncertain. Just wait and see. If it is really a very dangerous task, you must promise me that you will reject it, okay? "
After listening to Wen Ting's words, Qi Yue couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in his heart. He replied noncommittally. Just as he was about to say something, Yi Ruo's voice came from outside. "Qi Yue, can you come out for a while?"
"Mother, I am coming." Qi Yue patted Wen Ting's hand lightly. Wen Ting gave him a look before letting him go.
Snow Girl walked to Wen Ting's side and used her own energy to cover her voice. She said to Wen Ting, "Mother, do you really think that the people here will harm us?"
Wen Ting shook her head and said, "They won't harm us, but I am worried that Qi Yue will be used. You don't know your father's temper. Once he acts on his emotions, he won't consider the consequences. Although he has suffered a few times, he just can't change." As she said this, she couldn't help but think about how Qi Yue had sacrificed his life to use the Ultimate Kirin's arm to save her. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Snow Girl smiled and said, "Although Father might be a little emotional, I can see that this is one of the main reasons why you like him."
Wen Ting was stunned. She looked at Snow Girl and wanted to refute. However, after thinking about it carefully, Snow Girl didn't seem to be wrong. Yes! If Qi Yue was really a very rational person, would she still like him without any regrets?
Qi Yue walked out of the wooden house and saw a spirited Yi Ruo waiting for him outside the door. Although Yi Ruo's complexion was much better than when Qi Yue first saw her, Qi Yue could see the hesitation in her eyes.
"Mother, you were looking for me?" Qi Yue walked to Yi Ruo's side and called out to her affectionately.
Yi Ruo nodded lightly and pulled Qi Yue's hand. She said, "Come with me, I have something to tell you." As she said this, she pulled Qi Yue to the side.
Yi Ruo's hand was very warm, but her palms were a little sweaty. It seemed that her mood was very unstable. Qi Yue was pulled by her to Yi Ruo's room. At this moment, Longjiang wasn't here. There was only Qi Yue and Yi Ruo in the room.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Ruo let out a soft sigh. With a wave of her right hand, a yellow light floated up and completely sealed all the auras in the area. Although Qi Yue knew that he could do it as well, he would definitely not be able to do it as easily as Yi Ruo. He could not help but feel a little more admiration towards his mother.
"Mother, if there's anything, just say it." Looking at Yi Ruo's expression, Qi Yue could faintly guess that what Wen Ting said was about to happen.
