Chapter 1285: The Gods’ Acquiescence

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Above the three cities of the Divine Mountain, the sky was filled with endless waves.

The rumbling of the vortex was accompanied by bolts of lightning that spread out, forming a heaven and earth phenomenon.

This sound reverberated in all directions, shaking the minds of the cultivators here.

Especially, the fluctuations of bloodlines intensified at this moment, resonating with the thunderous explosion.

All the Flame Moon cultivators’ qi and blood churned and their expressions changed.

As for those affiliated races, although they didn’t sense the bloodline attraction, they were all surprised when they saw the aura fluctuations of the Flame Moon Race’s cultivators.

In the sky, not only was Tian Mozi bowing and worshiping, but Fan Shishuang also lowered his head and bowed. As the figure in the vortex walked over, more than half of the participants in the second segment instinctively lowered their heads.

Regardless of whether it was Tuoshi Shan or the other heaven’s chosens, it was the same.

Even Flame Mystic’s expression changed as he looked at the vortex.

As for Erniu… Looking at the surroundings, he sighed inwardly. At the same time, he felt a little sour and incredulous.

This scene also shocked the cultivators of the three cities. They immediately understood that after these participants came out, they were waiting for the person walking out of the vortex. Hence, they all stared at him.

Under the attention of everyone, the spinning of the vortex seemed to slow down. As the figure inside stepped forward, it became clearer and clearer.

The gray fog also churned like the sea, affecting the void and spreading to the world.

The ancientness contained in it stirred up a strong wind and caused the color of the world to change. Also, because of the bloodline resonance, waves of roars that sounded like the roars of the gods rang out from the gray fog.

The nine heads of Jiuli were faintly discernible as they appeared around this figure, gazing at the ground through the fog.

On the ground, the bloodline resonance of all the cultivators of the Flame Moon Race became even more intense. No matter what cultivation base they had, as long as they were cultivators of the main race, they couldn’t control this attraction that came from the depths of their bloodline.

Among them, there were experts from the older generation of the Flame Moon. They were all stunned when they saw the appearance of the nine beasts. After that, their hearts trembled and they instinctively revealed looks of disbelief.

“That is…”

“Wha…”

Among the Flame Moon’s affiliated races, there were also people whose expressions changed when they saw the nine beasts in the fog. Countless guesses rose in their minds as an answer that they didn’t dare to believe appeared in their minds.

Before they could confirm this answer, the vortex rumbled again. The fog inside suddenly spread out. After enveloping the surroundings, the nine beasts inside instantly rushed out of the vortex and appeared in the world.

Qiuniu, Yazi, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Baxia, Bi’an, Fuxi, and Chiwen moved around, their roars reverberating throughout the heavens and earth.

After being isolated for countless years, Jiuli finally appeared again!

The aura of the ancestral magus and the bloodline of the Mystic Heaven Great Magus directly reached the peak.

All of a sudden, the souls of all the cultivators of the Flame Moon Race trembled. Their bloodlines erupted, and the guidance from the depths of their bloodlines and the perception of their race caused all the Flame Moon Race members to instinctively lower their heads and worship the nine beasts.

As for those affiliated races, although they didn’t have such bloodline guidance, they were all shocked by this scene. The guesses in their hearts directly became reality.

That unbelievable feeling also erupted endlessly.

What followed was the legend of Jiuli and the worship of the Flame Moon Race in the surroundings, causing them to choose to lower their heads in their extreme shock.

At this moment, no matter what cultivation base or identity they had, they were all lowering their heads.

It was also at this moment that the figure in the vortex walked out.

His appearance was completely revealed.

His long hair was like the river of time, drifting behind him.

His eyes were like the spirit of the starry sky, containing countless stars.

He seemed to embody the pinnacle of life, evoking a profound response from the bloodlines.

He was Xu Qing!

The instant he appeared, the roars of the nine heads of Jiuli became even louder. They moved toward Xu Qing and surrounded him, forming nine flesh lanterns!

Sensing the connection between the nine heads and him coming from the same source, Xu Qing didn’t look at the ground. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the vortex behind him.

At that moment, as he walked out, the vortex was dissipating.

Through this vortex, Xu Qing could sense the Mountains and Seas Region and the ferocious beasts inside.

This caused an idea to rise in his mind.

‘If 1 can completely unleash the aura of the Jiuli, will 1 be able to summon the

Mountains and Seas Region…’

Xu Qing fell into deep thought. However, it was obvious that the consequences of doing this in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race were extremely serious. Hence, he buried this thought in his mind.

At that moment, in the eyes of outsiders, the sky changed color and the void became blurry. Only Xu Qing’s figure and the nine lanterns were clear, emitting a vast might.

As for Flame Mystic, his heart was rumbling and his breathing was hurried. He didn’t want to lower his head, but the resonance from his bloodline caused the veins on his forehead to bulge. He could only lower his head.

The world was relatively quiet at this moment.

Only the soundless thunder exploded in the hearts of all the bowing cultivators.

The cultivators here weren’t the only ones shaken. As the aura of Jiuli spread, the bloodlines of all the members of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, no matter where they were, churned intensely.

The instant Xu Qing walked out, three illusory images with monstrous auras descended simultaneously.

They were three incomparably grand tents!

Each one resembled a city.

The first emitted a terrifying blaze, containing the power of the sun, surrounded by a sea of fire. Through the flames, one could see a golden tent resembling a palace deep within.

The second was bathed in moonlight, exuding a chilling aura. The moonlight draped over it like silk, mysterious and unfathomable, shrouding everything in haze. Within this misty realm lay a tent resembling a moon palace.

As for the third tent, it sparkled with starlight, dazzling with countless stars. Its surroundings seemed to transform into a vast expanse of the cosmos. At the end of this stellar void, countless starlights converged into a palace.

These three palaces were the grand tents of the three magistrates who were like emperors below the gods in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race!

They were also the peak of the imperial power in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race.

They were respectively the Heavenly Cloud Great Magistrate under the Sun Flame God, the Silver Stream Great Magistrate under the Moon Flame God, and the Sunken Spirit Magistrate under the Star Flame God!

The moment they appeared, the clansmen and affiliated races in the surroundings who were already bowing lowered their heads even more.

Although it was only a projection, it was extremely rare for the three magistrate tents to appear at the same time unless it was a grand ceremony.

At that moment, the projections of the three tents descended at the same time. The instant they were formed, three terrifying gazes pierced through the void and gathered on Xu Qing.

The gazes were filled with scrutiny.

Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the Divine Mountain.

He understood that the outside world might not know about him obtaining the Jiuli, but the three gods definitely knew.

However, from the start to the end, the three gods didn’t interfere. Even when he walked out now, it was the same.

Coupled with the layout under the Jiuli Land, Xu Qing was even more certain of his judgment.

The three gods tacitly allowed the Jiuli to appear. To a certain extent, they might have even hoped that someone could bring the Jiuli out…

Although he didn’t know the reason, the actions of the three magistrate tents further confirmed his judgment.

The first thing to change was the Star Flame God sinking into the Spirit Department’s large tent. The starlight outside fluctuated and the gaze emitted by the Star Palace inside changed from judgment to deepness. A calm voice echoed through the world.

“Jiuli, the Saint of my Flame Moon Mystic Heaven, 1 shall bestow upon you the Starlight Robe!”

As soon as this voice rang out, a robe that was filled with starlight drifted out from the projection where the Sunken Spirit Tent was located and landed in front of Xu Qing.

This robe was extremely exquisite and floated in the air like a window to the starry sky. One could see countless stars shining inside.

All the cultivators on the ground, regardless of whether they were from the main race or affiliated races, had many thoughts.

The symbolism of the Starlight Robe was extremely great. Those who wore this robe had the qualifications to meet the Sunken Spirit Great Magistrate at any time. Moreover, so far, not many people in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race had been bestowed with this robe.

All of the people who were bestowed this robe were people who had made great contributions.

Xu Qing cupped his hands and bowed.

He understood his strength and the terror of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, so he naturally wouldn’t become arrogant because of Jiuli.

Immediately after, a cold voice rang out from the projection of the Silver Stream Great Magistrate Tent.

“Silver Stream Moon Spirit Token.”

As the voice rang out, a gray token flew out of the Silver Stream tent. Its appearance stirred the moonlight, evoking a sense of mystery.

It was a bone token.

The moment it appeared, Erniu’s eyes suddenly widened as he stared blankly at the token, his breath quickening slightly.

Xu Qing cupped his hands and bowed again.

After that, flames rose from the Heavenly Cloud tent under the Sun Flame God and spread out. A few strands separated and gathered together, forming a short sword.

This sword shone with a dazzling light and flowed with flames as it floated in front of Xu Qing.

After that, a bell-like chime echoed through the sky and earth from the Heavenly Cloud tent.

“1 bestow the Heavenly Cloud Sun Flame Sword.”

One robe, one token, and one sword.

Every one of them had a huge symbolic meaning. Now that they appeared at the same time, the meaning was self-evident.

As for the first place in the second segment, there was no need to rank it.

Regardless of whether it was the appearance of Jiuli or the actions of the three magistrates, it all explained everything.

The projections of the three magistrate tents gradually blurred and finally disappeared from the world.

At this moment, a god’s voice rang out from the Divine Mountain.

“Seven days later, the final segment of the Grand Hunt will begin.”

The voice echoed and the vortex in the sky dissipated. The second round of the Grand Hunt was over.

At the same time, in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race, in the sky, as the void fluctuated, a vast floating city slowly appeared from afar.

Within the city, there were no less than tens of thousands of structures, each shining with starlight like celestial bodies.

There were countless living beings inside, emitting terrifying energy.

There were also some whose auras alone could cause the world to lose color and cause one’s mind to tremble.

Surrounded by these stars was a large tent formed by starlight.

It was the Sunken Spirit Magistrate’s tent under the Star Flame God.

At that moment, in this large tent, a vast figure sat cross-legged. His eyes slowly opened as he looked in the direction of the Divine Mountain and muttered.

“Jiuli has finally appeared…”

“The three gods have tacitly agreed to this…”

“This kid is implicated by great karma…”
