229: Sky-high Peak, Bull City

Not long after, Xu Qing caught up with those super forces.

Compared to what was seen from the outside, Xu Qing saw many powerful experts this time, each exuding formidable aura. The lowest among them were Saint Monarch magnates, and there were quite a few Quasi-Emperor magnates.

"Master, there is one eight-step Quasi-Emperor, four seven-step Quasi-Emperors, thirteen six-step Quasi-Emperors, and thirty-two five-step Quasi-Emperors and below!"

Dark Moon reported the detected results to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at the people in front. Currently, only three super forces had appeared here: the Great Yi Immortal Kingdom, Purple Mansion Immortal Sect, and Dun Jia Heavenly Sect!

Excluding the Great Yi Immortal Kingdom, which came from the Eastern Thirteen Territories, the other two sects were from the Northern Six Territories, being the only two super forces in the Northern Six Territories.

Neither of these two sects originated from an Emperor Sect, but both had Old Ancestors who were eight-step Quasi-Emperor experts within their gates.

The eight-step Quasi-Emperor Dark Moon mentioned was from the Great Yi Immortal Kingdom.

"It seems that the number of Quasi-Emperors gathered this time will be a rare sight in a million years. I wonder if I can pick up any scraps!"

Previously, when he killed Ghostly Wither Taoist, he struck too hard and gained nothing.

Xu Qing's gaze swept past them and looked into the distance. He saw a faint heavenly pillar piercing the clouds far away, and that was his destination.

The nine-dragon carriage swiftly overtook these people and quickly moved deeper.

Xu Qing originally thought the Legacy was only as large as a major Saint Domain, but he was wrong. The area of this Legacy surpassed that of the one from the Hong Yuan era.

At the speed of the nine-dragon carriage, it took three hours to exit the inner perimeter and enter the core area.

If it were at the speed of the Great Yi Immortal Kingdom's group, it would probably take about a day.

Oh! Maybe more!

Because the inner perimeter not only contained Sacred Beasts but also Quasi-Emperor level Yao Beasts. Although the highest was only a two-step Quasi-Emperor, this Legacy has existed since before the Dark Era, and coupled with the long Lifespan of the Yao Race, their numbers were very large.

Moreover, the entire Legacy was not just forests; it also had deserts, grasslands, swamps, and so on!

Aside from Yao Beasts, Xu Qing also discovered traces of other races, but he did not investigate them closely. As he delved deeper, Xu Qing noticed a very profound energy in the Void Realm.

This power became increasingly Rich after entering the core area; Xu Qing could even see it without using his eyes.

"Is this the Power Of Faith that deities Cultivate?"

Xu Qing beckoned with his palm, and this energy appeared in his hand.

The energy in his hand was called the Power Of Faith, which had some connection with the Karma Dao. It was the power that deities Cultivated. This power was very strong, even stronger than Saint Dao power or Emperor Dao power. However, the Power Of Faith had one drawback: it required living beings to have faith.

If living beings no longer worshiped deities, causing the deities to lose their followers, they would ultimately die from the exhaustion of their power.

The destruction of the Ancient Heavenly Court back then might have been related to this Power Of Faith.

Along the way, many Yao Beasts and even spiritual plants had faint Power Of Faith.

"Why is there still Power Of Faith in this Legacy? Could it be that the Legacy of that supreme deity has been unearthed?"

Xu Qing's eyes instantly turned black and white, and the world transformed into an ink wash painting. Under Xu Qing's observation, these vast amounts of Power Of Faith converged in different directions.

However, the five thickest rivers of faith converged in five specific locations.

And the locations of these five places were his destination for this trip: where that heavenly pillar stood!

He continued deeper. The further he went, the more Quasi-Emperor level beings there were, even five-step Quasi-Emperor level beings appeared.

In addition, besides the Yao Race and spiritual plants, Xu Qing also saw four other races: the Flame Demon Race, Three-Eyed Race, Bladeworm Race, and Human Race.

In the regions he passed through, battles occasionally broke out between these races, and the stronger the Cultivation of the individuals, the more concentrated the Power Of Faith on them became.

The reason for their conflicts was simple: to compete for territory. The more territory, the more Power Of Faith.

However, one thing perplexed Xu Qing: in the outer regions and parts of the inner regions, a large portion still did not show Power Of Faith. Why hadn't these beings gone to enlighten followers?

But he didn't dwell on it, treating it as a passerby walking by.

Of course, he wasn't entirely inactive. Occasionally, he and Dark Moon would visit the treasuries of these forces, plundering them clean. Sometimes, he would appear on the battlefield to see if he could pick up any scraps and collect some sacred souls to enhance the Cultivation of the Heavenly Army.

It could be said that just by reaching this point in the Legacy, he had already gained a lot.

Continuing forward, gradually, the figures of six-step Quasi-Emperors appeared, though not many.

Three days later, Xu Qing appeared outside the mountain range.

Hundreds of millions of miles away from him, an ancient mountain peak rose like a pillar supporting the sky, standing majestically at the center of the Legacy.

This mountain peak soared into the clouds. Even from the inner perimeter, Xu Qing could clearly see its shadow. For this Legacy, this mountain peak was like Mount Buzhou supporting heaven and earth, a truly magnificent sight.

"Master, there's a city ahead!"

Yun Qian pointed to a city several hundred thousand miles away.

"Let's go take a look!"

Xu Qing said.

He had only deduced that the key of yang heaven was within the entire ancient mountain peak, but this mountain peak gave him a very dangerous feeling. Therefore, before understanding the truth, he needed to learn the situation from the local inhabitants.

The two people and one tiger left the nine-dragon carriage and soon arrived outside the city!

"Three Quasi-Emperors, one of whom is a three-step, and dozens of Saint Monarchs!"

Xu Qing was a bit surprised. He had seen three seven-step Quasi-Emperors in that mountain range.

"Man Niu City!"

Above the city gate, three large characters were written in a flourishing script, and they were in the Yao Race's language.

Clearly, this was a Yao Race city, and the words Man Niu should refer to the Man Niu Clan among the Yao Race.

"Thirty faith stones!"

Just at the entrance, a Man Niu Clan member, looking like a junior officer, stopped them.

The surrounding beings were startled, then quickly showed knowing smiles.

Xu Qing didn't think much of it. Thirty pieces appeared in his hand, and he handed them over.

These items were white and filled with Power Of Faith. It was said they were condensed from the Power Of Faith of believers. Some places also formed veins due to unique environments, and he had scoured these from other people's treasuries.

Seeing this, a greedy glint flashed in the junior officer's eyes.

Originally, he had only seen that the few people were outsiders, so he pretended to make things difficult, but he didn't expect them to actually have it.

Xu Qing saw this expression and naturally understood that he had been scammed, but he didn't care. His System space was piled up with several mountains of such items.

The junior officer watched Xu Qing and their backs, then glanced in a certain direction, after which several auras in that direction disappeared.

"Truly ignorant!"

Who was Xu Qing? He had already sensed it. A mere Saint King dared to scheme against him, simply courting death.

Yun Qian's figure vanished instantly. When he returned, several bullies were gone from Man Niu City.

In the following time, Xu Qing explored the city. He found that Man Niu City not only had Yao Race members but also people from the other four races. Although they disliked each other, no conflicts broke out.

Clearly, the Man Niu Clan had absolute dominance in this city, and the city's ruler was adept at management. Although there were grudges between the five races, they could still conduct business with each other, providing the Man Niu City with substantial tax revenue.

And Xu Qing also learned many useful things, and he also knew that the city gate fee was only one faith stone per person, meaning that dog-like fellow had scammed him ten times over.
