102: Three issues
Xu Qi'an's heart slightly chilled. After experiencing so many things, he no longer wanted to be threatened by others.
But this person was a Deity Transformation Cultivator, and his Domain could restrict him from using Talismans to escape. It seemed he would have to play along for a while.
"Senior, I understand what you said."
"May I ask what you wish for me to do as your enforcer?"
The Colored-Clothes Youth nodded in satisfaction, seeing that Xu Qi'an finally seemed willing to agree.
"Very simple, I just need you to kill all the other Fourth-Grade Cultivation Countries!"
Xu Qi'an had somewhat anticipated this upon hearing the words.
"May I ask, Senior, do the other Fourth-Grade Cultivation Countries have Deity Transformation Cultivators overseeing them?"
The Colored-Clothes Youth's eyes slightly chilled, "Naturally, they do. And you are not the only candidate; you are the quota from my Seven Color Sect."
"Don't worry, this matter is tacitly approved by the various Fifth-Grade Cultivation Countries."
"Not only that, but our Xuan Yang Star's Fifth-Grade Cultivation Countries, Good and Evil Sect and Xuanyuan Sect, have even opened channels for Cultivators from nearby planets in the Star Domain through the Profound Heaven Realm Treasure, allowing them all to enter the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
"However, those few barbaric planets don't even have a Deity Transformation Cultivator, and are even less worth mentioning."
"Currently, the major Fourth-Grade Cultivation Countries on our Xuan Yang Star are battling the Cultivators from those barbaric planets."
"It's just that a battle of this scale doesn't attract as many fragments as your slaughter of the Heavenly Dao Sect did."
"Now, our three Fifth-Grade Cultivation Countries have found three of the strongest Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators below the Divine Transformation Stage, preparing to carry out this matter."
"So, do you understand?"
Xu Qi'an nodded slightly. It seemed he couldn't refuse this matter, and there was no need to refuse.
Who would have thought that the Fourth-Grade Cultivation Countries were slaughtering each other under the arrangement of the Fifth-Grade Cultivation Countries, and now they were given the news of their destruction?
Xu Qi'an didn't mind destroying the four major Fourth-Grade Cultivation Countries, but he also didn't want to cooperate with this Deity Transformation Cultivator like a tiger and a wolf.
Why didn't these Deity Transformation Cultivators do it themselves?
It was obvious that certain matters were involved.
For example, the Karma this person mentioned earlier.
But the Colored-Clothes Cultivator before him would absolutely not tell him, and would definitely kill him after using him.
As for whether he could enter the Refining Void Immortal Palace, it had nothing to do with him.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Qi'an spoke.
"Thank you, Senior, for explaining. I understand completely."
"When will this operation begin?"
The Colored-Clothes Youth hummed and then threw out a colorful jade token.
A character for "color" was clearly written on it.
Xu Qi'an took it into his hand.
The Colored-Clothes Youth said, "Follow me."
Then, the Colored-Clothes Youth transformed into a colorful streak of light, shooting towards the distance.
Xu Qi'an watched the Colored-Clothes Youth flying away in the distance, and then also turned into a streak of light to follow him.
For now, he could only take things one step at a time.
However, along the way, Xu Qi'an started thinking about the Domain that the Deity Transformation Cultivator had mentioned.
He had obtained a book about this Domain in a Mystic Realm, the same Mystic Realm where he had obtained the crystal fragments.
"Time Domain and Space Intent."
"I originally thought this Domain was used to forge those crystal fragments, but now it seems to be related to Deity Transformation Cultivators?"
"Could it be that breaking through to Deity Transformation Cultivator is related to Domain?"
Xu Qi'an's thoughts raced, instantly considering this possibility.
"The Fifth-Grade Cultivation Countries are seeking the so-called Refining Void Immortal Palace, likely to seek the Opportunity to break through to Refining Void."
"And the fewer people who obtain this Refining Void Opportunity, the better. Perhaps at that time, major Fifth-Grade Cultivation Countries will also erupt in a great battle, and perhaps that will be my chance to escape."
"However, if I can Cultivate the Soul Character Incantation to the ninth layer and raise my Divine Soul power to the Divine Transformation Stage, perhaps I still have a chance."
The Colored-Clothes Youth's speed was not fast. He didn't know if he was deliberately waiting for Xu Qi'an or intentionally monitoring him to prevent him from escaping.
After flying for about several thousand li, the two arrived above a starry sky.
Then, the Colored-Clothes Youth formed hand seals, and a crack suddenly opened in the space before him.
"Go in," the Colored-Clothes Youth said.
Xu Qi'an hummed and then flew inside.
As soon as he entered this space, Xu Qi'an saw several huge pavilions in the distance.
Here, white clouds lingered, and the mountains and rivers were beautiful, very different from the desolation and solitude of the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
Not only that, but the spiritual energy within this space was extremely rich. Even his Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation could feel some improvement.
"This should be a relic fragment of the Extraterritorial Battlefield."
In an instant, the space closed, and the Colored-Clothes Youth landed beside Xu Qi'an.
"Today is the day of discussion for the three sects. Follow me."
With that, the Colored-Clothes Youth led Xu Qi'an into one of the pavilions.
As soon as he entered the pavilion, Xu Qi'an discovered that there were several Deity Transformation Stage auras and several Nascent Soul Great Perfection auras within.
"It's Junior Brother Mo who's returned. Quick, take a seat." At the head was a middle-aged scholar in luxurious clothes, appearing to be around forty or fifty years old.
As soon as he saw the Colored-Clothes Youth enter the pavilion, he warmly greeted him.
The Colored-Clothes Youth hummed, cupped his hands, and bowed, "Senior Brother Wang, this is Xu Qi'an. He is the candidate from my Seven Color Sect this time."
"Oh?" The scholar in luxurious clothes then lightly swept his gaze over.
Xu Qi'an felt as if a monstrous flood was attacking him, and his heart slightly chilled.
"This scholar in luxurious clothes' cultivation is probably not just at the early Deity Transformation Stage!"
Xu Qi'an then cupped his hands and bowed, remaining composed.
The scholar in luxurious clothes chuckled twice and then responded to the Colored-Clothes Youth.
"Alright, you two take a seat first."
"There are still a few Fellow Daoists who haven't arrived yet, we need to wait a moment."
"Yes."
The Colored-Clothes Youth then led Xu Qi'an to a seat beside the aisle.
However, there was only one seat here; there was no seat for Xu Qi'an.
The Colored-Clothes Youth sneered, "Fellow Daoist Xu, you can wait by the side."
Xu Qi'an's heart slightly chilled, but it was within his expectations. He then stood beside the Colored-Clothes Cultivator.
Only then did he carefully examine the surrounding situation.
Besides the scholar in luxurious clothes from the same sect as the Colored-Clothes Cultivator, there was also a Deity Transformation Cultivator from another sect in this pavilion.
That sect's Cultivators seemed to be the Good and Evil Sect that the Colored-Clothes Youth had mentioned earlier. They were all wearing black and white robes, with their eyes closed and not speaking.
And beside them were several Nascent Soul Great Perfection Cultivators.
Among them was one person whom Xu Qi'an had met once before.
It was the mysterious old man he had seen in the Floating Cloud Sect's Scripture Depository.
That old man had said that day that he was there to experience something. Now, Xu Qi'an somewhat understood.
This person should be here to comprehend some kind of Domain.
However, he didn't expect that after decades of not seeing him, this person still hadn't reached Deity Transformation, while he himself had caught up.
And the mysterious old man opposite was also startled when he saw Xu Qi'an enter.
"This child has actually reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage after only a short twenty years!"
"How is this possible??"
The black-robed old man's fluctuating emotions were immediately noticed by a white-robed youth in luxurious clothes sitting before him.
"Elder Chi, do you know that person?" The yellow-robed youth transmitted his voice playfully.
The black-robed old man was slightly stunned, then transmitted back, "Reporting to Young Master Dong, I once saw that person in a remote Third-Grade Cultivation Country when I was trying to comprehend Domain. At that time, this person was only in the early Dan Formation stage."
"Now, after only twenty years, this person has actually climbed to the Nascent Soul Late Stage. It's truly unbelievable."
"Oh?"
The smile on the white-robed youth's face didn't diminish, but a hint of coldness arose in his heart.
"An interesting kid."
