Chapter 251 Qianwu: Why are you congratulating me?
While controlling the ninth level of the Divine Weapon, he can also calculate every move and every energy fluctuation of his opponent. This ability is truly terrifying.
"When he faces an enemy, he doesn't see the sword in the present moment, but everything about the opponent's future. Even I might not be able to do that." King Zhenyan shook his head, having long since given up the idea of taking the other party as his disciple.
At this moment, his gaze towards the cosmic-level figure on the light screen held a touch more solemnity than when he looked at a powerhouse of the same level.
The young man before me is no longer a "junior who needs guidance," but someone destined to stand at the pinnacle of humanity.
Although no one said it outright, the hundreds of cosmic venerables present, as well as the tens of thousands of immortal kings, all reached the same conclusion.
Xu Qing is destined to become a cosmic sage.
He even has the potential to advance to the level of a universe master, a being that appears only once every billion years.
The battle within the light screen continued, and Xu Qing steadily stepped into the fourteenth floor.
The guardian of this level had a profound understanding of the laws that was close to that of a Marquis or an Immortal, and his moves carried a clear suppressive force. However, he could only last a few rounds against Xu Qing.
Xu Qing merely adjusted his sword path slightly to avoid his opponent's killing move, piercing through with a single strike. Although it wasn't an instant kill like before, it was still swift and decisive.
Fourteenth floor, passed!
The guardian of the fifteenth level has increased in strength by another level, and his understanding of the laws has truly reached the level of a Marquis and Immortal. He fought Xu Qing for dozens of rounds, and even forced Xu Qing to retreat several times.
However, Xu Qing remained calm throughout, taking into account his opponent's energy fluctuations and the rhythm of his moves, and finally seized the opponent's weakness to deliver a fatal blow.
Fifteenth floor, passed!
On the sixteenth floor, the power of the gatekeeper was almost overwhelming for Xu Qing.
When the pressure of the law spread out, even the ordinary immortals outside the light barrier felt a tightness in their chests.
Even some high-ranking immortals might not be able to pass this test even if they used cosmic-level basic power.
However, Xu Qing did not fight head-on. Instead, he withdrew his fierce sword stance and relied on his precise control of the laws of space to dodge and weave across the Tongtian Bridge, fighting for a full several tens of minutes.
Xu Qing seized the opportunity again, and his golden sword pierced the opponent's body like lightning, forcefully reversing the situation that had been crushed!
Sixteenth floor—passed!!!
Xu Qing kept breaking the records on the Bridge of Heaven, and the number of cosmic venerables outside the light screen was also increasing.
They went from initial amazement to silence, and finally to complete numbness.
In a short time, they had already gotten used to the shock Xu Qing brought. Even their clenched fists slowly loosened, leaving only the complexity in their eyes.
Finally, Xu Qing stepped into the seventeenth floor.
This level represents the comprehension of the laws at the peak of the Marquis level, approaching the immortality of the King level!
The moment the gatekeeper made his move, it carried the power to instantly kill a ninth-level domain lord. When the golden sword was unleashed, even the flames covering tens of thousands of miles on the surface of Hengxing were frozen and then shattered instantly, leaving deep, bottomless ravines in the void.
Xu Qingyan activated the ninth level of his divine weapon with all his might, and his bright gold longsword collided with his opponent's longsword, producing a deafening roar.
Thousands of rounds, tens of thousands of rounds—Xu Qing's figure flickered continuously in the light screen, and the light on the sword gradually dimmed from its initial blazing intensity. This was also the first time he showed signs of fatigue.
Until the last wisp of spiritual power was exhausted, the bright golden longsword could no longer be formed and dissipated into countless particles of light, finally allowing the guardian's sword to pierce his body. As Xu Qing's figure withdrew from the seventeenth level, the plaza of the Tongtian Bridge plane fell into a long, deathly silence.
At this moment, the vast majority of the universe venerables of the entire human race had gathered here. Ninety percent of the 100,000 king-level immortals had arrived, along with tens of millions of ordinary immortals. They densely packed the island square and the sea and airspace. Even the guardian, Baffin, was so frightened that his palms were sweating and he dared not even breathe loudly.
As the light of the virtual universe faded, Xu Qing's consciousness returned to the secret chamber of the Nine Universe Chaos Stele in Chaos City.
He felt a wave of exhaustion as soon as he opened his eyes. Crossing the sixteen-level Sky Bridge and even lingering on the seventeenth level for so long had taken a heavy toll on his mental strength.
"Your Highness Xu Qing! You—you've finally returned!" Kandri, who had been guarding the massive bronze gate, knelt before Xu Qing, his eyes filled with deep fear and shock. The Chaos Stele was closely connected to the Bridge to Heaven, and he received Baffin's email immediately.
Initially, he thought Xu Qing would at most stay on the first level for a few decades, or even fail immediately, but he did not expect that Xu Qing would directly pass through the sixth level.
This almost scared him to death.
Half a day ago, when Xu Qing broke through the record of the twelfth floor, he almost dropped the terminal in his hand. His gaze towards Xu Qing changed from "the young man is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth" to incredulous awe.
You have to understand that he has been in this position for millions of epochs and has never seen such a peerless genius that is one in ten million epochs!
But then, every time Baffin sent an email, his body trembled; until Xu Qing passed the sixteenth floor, and even persisted for a long time on the seventeenth floor, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Qing was almost like kneeling on the ground.
Xu Qing didn't say much, but simply gestured with his chin towards the bronze gate: "Now that I've crossed the sixteen levels of the Heavenly Bridge, I should be able to gain a lot of time for comprehension, right?"
Kander finally snapped out of his daze and nodded frantically, "I can—I can exchange it for 112 days! I'll open the secret chamber for you right away!" The bronze gate slowly opened, and the familiar chaotic energy rushed in. Xu Qing didn't delay any longer and quickly stepped into the secret chamber.
On the other side, after the light screen of the Tongtian Bridge plane went completely dark, the Nine Swords Venerable frowned: "That brat actually went back to study the Nine Universe Chaos Stele after passing the trial." He turned around and looked at the bald man in a fiery red battle robe beside him—it was the second disciple of the Chaos City Lord, Venerable Guiyi. "Venerable Guiyi, do you think we should ask the City Lord—"
Venerable Guiyi suddenly frowned, his voice tinged with doubt as he scanned his surroundings: "Where is the King of Qianwu Kingdom? Why can't I see him?"
These words immediately caused an uproar. The Venerables and Immortals began to discuss among themselves:
"That's right! Where did the King of Qianwu go? Wasn't Xu Qing personally escorted into Chaos City by him?"
"Logically, he should be the first one to arrive, so why haven't we even seen a glimpse of him?"
"Quickly contact his virtual universe account! Is this guy deliberately hiding him, trying to monopolize this talent?"
A murmur of discussion arose as everyone anxiously searched for the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom. However, the very person in question was still leisurely sobering up in the Thousand Treasures River Realm, completely unaware of what had transpired—
=====
In the palace of the Ganqian Wu Kingdom in the Qianbao River region, sunlight streamed through the carved windows and onto the carpet.
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom stretched and yawned, his breath reeking of alcohol.
He drank the leftovers last night, took a nap, and is now groggily waking up.
"Hmm? Why are there so many messages?"
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at the virtual universe terminal. The screen lit up, and a dense stream of messages popped up instantly.
"What's going on?" the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom muttered, his thoughts sweeping across the screen as he looked at the messages.
Not only were there messages from his own subordinates, but also messages from thousands of cosmic venerables! He glanced at the top few messages:
Venerable Mei: "Qian Wu, congratulations! I never expected you to have such a disciple who could actually pass the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven!"
Venerable Beiming: "Great news, Qianwu! Your brother has cleared six levels in a row! You'd better treat us to a drink!"
The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom stared at the screen, scratching his head in confusion. "My disciple? Which one?"
He mentally reviewed his disciples.
Aren't they just those dozen or so immortals who were granted titles of nobility?
"What's so strange about them making it through six floors?"
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom curled his lip, thinking that these venerable ones were making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Isn't it only natural for someone to be granted the title of Marquis and pass the sixth level of Immortal Realm? Is it really worth all this congratulations?"
He muttered to himself as he replied perfunctorily to Venerable Mei, "Thanks, I'll treat you to a drink later," and sent Venerable Bei Ming a "No problem." He was still thinking to himself, "Was it the thirteenth or the seventeenth who broke into the sect? I should praise them a bit later, so they won't keep complaining about not having the motivation to cultivate."
Just as he was about to send a message to his subordinates asking "Which kid made it to the sixteenth floor?", a new message popped up, and the sender's name made the Chaos City Lord freeze instantly.
The universe lord, second only to the giant axe in the entire human race, is a supreme being who is so high and mighty that even he rarely gets to see him!
The message was very short.
Chaos City Lord: "Qianwu, I would like to borrow a disciple from you, the one who just passed the sixteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven."
The terminal controlled by the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom fell onto the carpet with a "thud".
His eyes widened, his mind went blank with a "buzz".
The Lord of Chaos City actually wants to borrow a disciple from him? And one who "just passed the sixteenth level"?
It's true that his disciples at the peak of the Marquis level have passed the sixteenth level, but why would the Lord of Chaos City personally ask to borrow them?
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom suddenly sat up in bed, instantly sobering up considerably.
He picked up the terminal and scrolled through the messages rapidly, becoming increasingly alarmed with each scroll.
The messages he just saw only mentioned "your disciple," without mentioning his name.
It wasn't until he came across an email from Baffin, which included a screenshot of someone trespassing on a pedestrian bridge, that he stared at the screenshot and was completely dumbfounded:
"Xu Qing?! Is that him?!"
The person in the picture is actually Xu Qing?!
"He crossed all 16 levels of the Skybridge in a cosmic-level feat?! How the hell is that possible?"
The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but swear.
The venerable ones were not congratulating his senior disciples who had been granted titles.
It was Xu Qing!
However, the idea of a cosmic-level being able to cross the 16th level of the Sky Bridge was too astonishing, and the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom never even considered it!
