Such strength...
"Heavenly Emperor!"
Luo Tianshen snapped back to reality, hurriedly bowed, and said with an excited expression.
Xiao Qing landed on the city wall.
Luo Tianshen hurried forward, bowed, and said, "Heavenly Emperor!"
His voice was trembling, whether from excitement or fear, he did not know.
Xiao Qing nodded slightly, but his gaze turned toward the distant the void.
There, six powerful auras were present, faint and elusive, yet they could not escape his perception.
Those were the six Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereigns who had just been watching the battle.
"Since you have all come, why not show yourselves?"
Xiao Qing's voice was very soft, yet it clearly reached the ears of those six people.
The the void rippled slightly.
Six figures slowly emerged.
The first was an old man in white, with an aged face and faint cyan light lingering around him.
He was the first to cup his hands and salute, saying, "This old man, Qing Yunzi, greets the Heavenly Emperor!"
The second was a Heavenly Sovereign who looked like a scholar, holding a folding fan, gentle and elegant.
He closed his folding fan and cupped his hands, saying, "I am Li Xuan, I greet the Heavenly Emperor!"
The third was a middle-aged man in black, with a stern face and a sharp aura radiating from his body.
He cupped his hands and said, "Tian Ming, greets the Heavenly Emperor!"
The fourth was an old woman in grey robes, leaning on a cane, her body hunched.
She bowed slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "This old woman is named Ghost Granny, I greet the Heavenly Emperor!"
The fifth was a burly, bald man.
He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and cupped his hands, "From the Diamond Continent, metal and stone, greets the Heavenly Emperor!"
The sixth was a seductive, beautiful woman in a red dress, her eyes brimming with charm as they shifted.
She bowed gracefully and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I am Hua Yao, from the Hundred Flowers Continent, I greet the Heavenly Emperor!"
The six of them saluted in unison, their attitudes impeccably respectful.
Xiao Qing looked at them and nodded slightly.
"What advice do you have for me?"
Qing Yunzi hurriedly said, "We dare not! We simply saw the Heavenly Emperor's astonishing strength and felt admiration, so we came to pay our respects."
metal and stone scratched his bald head and said, "I, Old Jin, have lived for six thousand years, and this is the first time I've seen someone so fierce."
Hua Yao rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "Brother metal and stone, how can you say that? If the Heavenly Emperor weren't fierce, how could he be called the 'Heavenly Emperor'!"
"Would he dare to claim this title without some ability?"
Jin Gang smiled sheepishly, scratched his head, and did not refute.
Tian Ming also spoke up, "The Heavenly Emperor defeating the Immortal Grade War Emperor with a Spirit Grade cultivation is truly rare in the Great Thousand Worlds."
"I wonder if the Heavenly Emperor has any leisure time to chat with us?"
Xiao Qing looked at them, understanding clearly in his heart.
These six people wanted to befriend him.
It made sense; a powerhouse who could force back an Immortal Grade while only at the Spirit Grade had limitless prospects for the future.
Befriending him now would only have benefits and no downsides.
Xiao Qing said indifferently, "Let us chat another day."
The six were not disappointed and hurriedly said, "Then we shall await the Heavenly Emperor's arrival."
After speaking, they saluted once more and quietly retreated.
On the city wall, Luo Tianshen watched this scene, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Once upon a time, the Luo God Clan was ignored by these reclusive Heavenly Sovereigns.
Although their Luo God Clan was once a Divine Race, they had long since declined for tens of thousands of years.
Those Heavenly Sovereigns wouldn't even spare them a glance.
But now, they were taking the initiative to pay respects to the Heavenly Emperor.
This was the gap in strength.
He looked at Xiao Qing, his heart filled with awe.
This Heavenly Emperor was not only terrifying in strength but also frighteningly clever in his methods.
It was a tremendous stroke of luck for the Luo God Clan to have his protection.
In the distance, Luo Li was still standing in a corner of the city tower.
She did not go forward.
She just quietly watched that figure in green robes.
Her gaze never moved away.
Xiao Qing seemed to sense something and turned to look at her.
Their eyes met.
Luo Li's heart trembled, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she instinctively looked away.
Xiao Qing smiled but said nothing.
He withdrew his gaze and said to Luo Tianshen, "Arrange a quiet place; I need to go into seclusion for a few days."
Inside the chaos jade talisman he had given to Luo Tianshen, there remained a special mark.
The mark of the Luo God.
From the moment Luo Li brought the jade talisman to find him, he had sensed its existence but did not delve into it.
That wisp of blue light was not ordinary residual energy, but a guide left behind by the Luo God herself.
That woman, who had fallen for tens of thousands of years, was still setting up schemes.
He wanted to see what on earth that woman was trying to pull.
Luo Tianshen hurriedly said, "Yes! I will go and arrange it immediately!"
Xiao Qing nodded and turned to leave.
Luo Li watched his back disappear at the end of the city wall and did not move for a long time.
After a long while, she took a deep breath and looked down at her own hands.
These hands were still very immature.
These hands were still very weak.
She clenched her fists, a trace of determination flashing in her eyes.
She also had to become stronger.
Strong enough to protect the Luo God Clan, strong enough to...
Catch up to that person's back.
Chapter 331, Space-Time Coordinates, Great Emperors Inner Canon, Spirit Grade Heavenly Demon Puppet 【 7.4 K 】
Deep inside the Cave Dwelling.
Xiao Qing sat cross-legged, a faint Chaos light radiating from his body.
This was a secret Cave Dwelling located behind the mountain of Luo Shen City.
The surroundings were filled with Formations set up by the successive Clan Heads of the Luo God Clan.
Although it could not compare to the Heavenly Emperor Palace, it was still an excellent place for seclusion.
At this moment, he was the only one in the Cave Dwelling.
Xiao Qing raised his hand, and the chaos jade talisman floated out from his bosom, hovering above his palm.
He could perceive that hidden deep within that blue light was some kind of extremely complex laws of time and space fluctuation.
Xiao Qing tapped his fingertip lightly, and a wisp of Chaos Power was injected into the jade talisman.
Hum—
The jade talisman suddenly trembled.
The next moment, a dazzling blue light burst forth from the jade talisman, instantly illuminating the entire Cave Dwelling.
Within the light, many mysterious runes were flowing ceaselessly.
Those runes were extremely ancient, each one containing the profound aura of time.
Space-Time Coordinates!
Xiao Qing's eyes fixed.
"It really is a Space-Time Coordinate."
He stroked the surface of the jade talisman with his fingertip and could clearly perceive the fluctuations of the laws of time and space contained within the coordinates.
That fluctuation resonated subtly with the laws of time and space within his body, as if summoning him to go.
Xiao Qing was silent for a moment, already having the answer in his heart.
When he was on the Dou Qi Continent, he had already mastered the Law of Space and the Law of Time, and fused them into a complete laws of time and space.
That was before he broke through to Dou Di.
Back when he was still a Nine-Star Dou Saint, he had used the laws of time and space to accidentally return to the Dou Qi Continent ten thousand years ago, witnessing the moment Tuoshe Ancient Emperor became an Emperor.
In that battle, with the body of a Nine-Star Dou Saint, he defeated the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor who had just advanced to Dou Di.
He naturally knew the dangers of time travel.
The era pointed to by that coordinate was unknown.
It could be the ancient period tens of thousands of years ago when the Great Thousand Worlds encountered the invasion of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, where experts were as numerous as clouds and Heavenly Sovereigns were as common as dogs.
Or it could be some crumbling Space-Time node where the Laws of Heaven and Earth were chaotic, and one would get lost within it if not careful.
It could even point to the lair of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan.
The variables within were unpredictable.
Xiao Qing looked inward at himself.
The Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign's spiritual power was vigorous and stable, and after this battle, it had improved a bit more.
His control over the Law had also reached its peak; with this kind of strength, he could already walk sideways (unchecked) in the Great Thousand Worlds.
But facing the unknown Space-Time, this was still insufficient.
Space-Time travel required resisting Space-Time turbulence, which could not be compared to ordinary spatial rifts.
If one was not careful, one would be torn to pieces by the turbulence, and not even the soul could escape.
One also needed to deal with the experts and Law differences of the unknown era.
The Great Thousand Worlds was, after all, not a Lower Plane like the Dou Qi Continent.
Spiritual Grade cultivation was not secure enough.
Xiao Qing shook his head and put away the jade talisman.
"Let's put this matter aside for now."
He thought to himself, "Wait until I break through to the Immortal Grade Heavenly Sovereign and my control over the Law goes up another level; it won't be too late to use the Space-Time coordinates to explore then."
Xiao Qing's mentality was steady; he knew well that the path of Cultivation forbade haste.
