Chapter 364 Out of the Domain
Hu Qing suddenly realized that so much time had passed in the outside world.
Practicing in the secret realm of the Central Region where time is almost frozen, it is indeed easy to forget the passage of time.
He felt the fluctuations of spiritual power coming from Gu Yang, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously - it seemed that he was not the only one who had made progress in these four months.
Xiao Zi suddenly rushed to Hu Qing and rubbed his arm with her head affectionately.
The Dark Ancient Stegosaurus is now smaller than before, but all its scales have a metallic luster, and the sword scales on its back are even more cold and sharp.
The most astonishing thing was the new horn on its forehead - its shape was 70% similar to Hu Qing's royal sword.
Elder Xia clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. "Alright, you all should go back to the Great Zhou Dynasty and complete the deduction first."
A sly glint flashed in the old man's eyes. "I've been stuck in the Central Region for four months. It's time to get some fresh air."
Hu Qing and Gu Yang were about to follow the Sword God back to where they came in when they suddenly discovered that Xin and Li were standing still.
Gu Yang quickly ran back and grabbed Xin's arm. "Master Xin, let's go out together! I hope you can teach me more on the way."
A complicated look flashed in Xin's eyes, and his rough hands rubbed Gu Yang's hair:
"Silly boy, we can't get out." He pointed at his feet, "The Central Region is our destination."
Li walked over slowly, his moon-white robe fluttering in the breeze: "We are both connected to the destiny of the Central Region. If we go out rashly..."
He gathered a little spiritual light at his fingertips, drew a crack in the air, and then quickly closed it, "I'm afraid it will cause the heaven and earth to repel it."
Gu Yang's eyes were slightly red. After four months of living together day and night, he had already regarded Master Xin as a family member.
Seeing this, Xin hugged him and said in a low voice, "Don't do this! Remember to bring me some jars of good wine!"
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Old Xia, "I want something strong! And some snacks to go with it. I've been shut away for so many years, and my taste buds are almost bland."
Li Ze smiled gently at Hu Qing: "Xiao Qing..."
This title made Hu Qing's mouth twitch. "If you come across any interesting books, you might as well bring some back."
He slipped a scroll of bamboo slips from his sleeve and said, "This is the book I'm looking for."
Hu Qing took it respectfully, and saw that it was filled with travel notes and miscellaneous books such as "Strange Stories of Dongzhou" and "Records of Strange Things in the South China Sea".
At the very bottom, there were a few small words written in red ink: "Latest stories first", which made me laugh.
Old Xia's staff drew a graceful arc in the air, and the crystal on the tip of the staff burst into brilliant light.
The space slowly opened up like torn silk, forming a dark blue crack with starlight flowing inside, as if leading to another world.
"Stop dawdling and let's go." The Sword God said briefly.
Xin quickly pushed Gu Yang and said, "Get out of here! Remember to be able to take three of my blows when you come back!"
Li suddenly remembered something and pulled out a brocade bag from his sleeve and stuffed it into Hu Qing's pocket: "This is..."
Before he could finish his words, the Sword God grabbed Hu Qing and Gu Yang by the back of their collars and threw them into the crack like sandbags.
Xiao Zi let out an excited dragon roar and jumped in right after.
In his last vision, Hu Qing saw Master Xin turning around and waving, and Master Li standing next to Old Xia with a gentle smile.
"Hey wait——" Hu Qing's cry was still echoing in the air, and the world was spinning before his eyes.
It felt like being stuffed into a high-speed spinning kaleidoscope, with all my internal organs shifting.
Fortunately, the dizziness subsided quickly, and when their vision refocused, they were already standing in a lush bamboo forest.
The breeze blew by, and the bamboo leaves rustled.
The familiar wall of clouds and mist not far away was flowing slowly, as if waving to them.
This time, without the Sword God's reminder, Hu Qing and Gu Yang skillfully hung the stone talisman on their chests.
The stone talisman was soaked in the special energy of the Central Region and was now emitting a warm luster.
"Let's go!" Gu Yang took the lead and rushed towards the clouds, but his figure was quickly swallowed by the milky white mist.
Hu Qing looked back at the Sword God, and after receiving a look of affirmation, he also jumped in with Xiao Zi.
The moment of passing through the clouds, the familiar void appeared before my eyes again.
But unlike the panic he felt during his first experience, Hu Qing now felt that the whirlwinds that supported them were as gentle as a mother's arms.
Xiao Zi even playfully somersaulted in the whirlwind, and a series of small cyclones were created wherever the dragon's tail swept past.
Taking advantage of this peaceful journey, Hu Qing took out the treasure bag that Master Li gave him before leaving.
Amidst the exquisite silk, a warm jade slip was emitting a faint glow.
He probed his spiritual sense in, and immediately four ancient characters "Detailed Explanation of Phantom Spirits" appeared in his mind, followed by dense text and images, which recorded in detail the methods of refining and using various phantom spirits.
"Teacher Li is really..." Hu Qing shook his head and chuckled. This seemingly casual teacher is actually more meticulous than anyone else.
The Sword God looked at the rising sun in the distance and said calmly:
"What they gave you wasn't just a farewell gift." A silvery-white boundary line appeared in the distance, "but also a legacy."
Gu Yang clenched his fists, the key to the "Kai Tian Style" that Master Xin taught him was still echoing in his ears.
Hu Qing kept the brocade bag close to his body. Xiao Zi rubbed his arm, and the morning light was reflected in the dragon's eyes.
The Sword God's voice came from the front: "We're here, prepare to land."
Looking up, a familiar scene appeared at the end of the void - it was the cliff where they came from.
But this time, the journey back was much easier than the journey here.
Everyone stepped onto the solid ground on the cliff, and felt the long-lost solid touch under their feet.
The Sword God took out the familiar sword boat from the storage ring. The silver-white hull gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
As the sword technique was activated, the sword boat quickly expanded and turned into a flying boat that could accommodate several people.
"Come up." The Sword God gave a brief order.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang took Xiao Zi and jumped onto the sword boat, feeling the slight vibration coming from under their feet.
The sword boat slowly rose into the air and sped towards the Great Zhou Dynasty, drawing a graceful silver trail among the clouds.
Hu Qing stood at the bow, looking at the mountains and rivers rapidly receding beneath his feet, and suddenly a question came to his mind:
"Senior, now that we know the location of the remaining fragments of the holy artifact, what should we use for this dynasty deduction?"
The Sword God paused slightly while controlling the Sword Boat, then turned around and looked at them with a look that looked like they were fools:
"A free deduction opportunity, and all you want is to find fragments?"
He shook his head. "How to use the holy artifact, its potential risks, and even its resonance with other holy artifacts...can't these all be deduced?"
Hu Qing slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
Gu Yang's eyes lit up: "That's right! We don't even know how to use the Twin Flowers!"
Xiao Zi was lying on the side of the boat, and suddenly he let out an "Ah!", pointing his claws at the sword-shaped horn on his forehead, and then at Hu Qing.
The Sword God smiled, a rare moment. "It's quite clever. It knows how to deduce the connection between the holy artifact and its owner."
