409: Ancient Sword Dao Zong bowed his head

"No need!" The Lord of Stars and Moon had a gentle smile on her Face, her tone carrying a hint of emotion, "If not for you, I wouldn't have seen him."

"Hm?"

Xu Qing was slightly startled, a flicker of doubt in his eyes, "Has Senior already seen Ancestor Jun?"

The Lord of Stars and Moon nodded, her gaze filled with relief: "Yes! He's in that altar space now, helping Dao Brother You Tian recover his cultivation. With his help, the time needed for Dao Brother You Tian to recover has been significantly reduced. He'll be fully recovered in at most a thousand years."

Xu Qing nodded gently upon hearing this.

A thousand years might seem long to a Mortal, but to beings like them, it was merely a flick of a finger.

The Lord of Stars and Moon changed the subject, her tone carrying a hint of teasing: "Speaking of which, you little rascal, you've been hiding so deeply!"

Xu Qing smiled faintly, his expression humble: "Senior flatters me. This junior is not as good as Senior. Senior is someone who can slay a Dao Ancestor in the Dao Monarch realm. How could this junior dare to compare with Senior?"

"Don't be modest!" The Lord of Stars and Moon shook her head and laughed, her eyes holding a deeper meaning, "I witnessed that battle with my own eyes. You little rascal didn't use your full strength from beginning to end. Did you really think I couldn't tell?"

Xu Qing rubbed his nose upon hearing this, not refuting her.

When he killed Ye Chen that day, he indeed didn't go all out. With his strength, he could have instantly killed the opponent with a single move, but he deliberately held back a bit, simply not wanting to attract too much attention.

After eliminating the Eternal Night Clan's powerhouses, he had planned to leave.

Although the Meteor Overlord only exchanged one move with him, Xu Qing had already figured out his true strength. If they were to truly fight, he would definitely be able to kill the Meteor Overlord within ten moves.

Because although the Meteor Overlord was an Immortal Overlord, his Dao level was only at Major Achievement Immortal, and his cultivation was merely at Dao Monarch Perfection.

The opponent had only refined thirty-seven streams of Hongmeng Primordial Qi, barely crossing the threshold of an Immortal Overlord. Among Immortal Overlords, he was at the bottom. Xu Qing naturally didn't take such strength seriously.

However, he did not choose to continue attacking and kill the opponent.

Killing an Immortal Overlord was certainly impressive, but it would also attract unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, he chose to leave in a hurry.

Despite this, his actions still attracted the attention of certain beings.

One of them was his old acquaintance — the Blood-Eyed Demon Ape from the Sky Ape Dao Domain.

At that time, the Blood-Eyed Demon Ape was in a forbidden zone, in a peculiar state, unable to act. Although they only observed each other from a distance, Xu Qing still felt the opponent's power.

That was a true Immortal Overlord, whose strength was far beyond what the Meteor Overlord could compare to.

"You little rascal, you're becoming more and more unfathomable."

The Lord of Stars and Moon said meaningfully, her eyes filled with approval.

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing more. He knew that his strength had already attracted the attention of many powerhouses, but he didn't care.

In this world where strength is respected, only strength is the Eternal truth.

"Senior, if there's nothing else, this junior will take his leave first," Xu Qing said, cupping his hands, his tone respectful.

The Lord of Stars and Moon nodded and smiled: "Go. If you need anything, just come find me."

Xu Qing smiled faintly, his figure flickered, and he vanished from the spot.

The Lord of Stars and Moon looked in the direction he left, a complex expression flashing in her eyes, and she murmured in a low voice: "This boy, his future achievements, I'm afraid even I cannot estimate..."

At this moment!

Ancient Land of Dao!

After the battle of Eternal Night, Xu Qing's name swept through all the major powerful clans like a storm.

Whether it was the Human Race or the Myriad Clans, whether it was ordinary Transcendent beings or those Immortal Overlords, this name resonated like thunder.

"Xu Qing... The Human Race actually produced such a peerless True King!"

"He can even injure an Immortal Overlord with one strike. This kind of strength, his combat power is probably not weaker than an Immortal Overlord!"

"The Human Race is growing stronger, which is not a good thing for us..."

Those races with grievances against the Human Race became nervous, their hearts filled with unease and apprehension.

They had originally thought that the Myriad Clans Divine Hall would seize the opportunity to make trouble, citing Xu Qing's breach of agreement. However, to their surprise, the Myriad Clans Divine Hall unexpectedly quieted down, as if nothing had happened.

This action couldn't help but make the major powerful clans look sideways.

They clearly understood what this meant: the power behind Xu Qing was already so strong that even the Myriad Clans Divine Hall dared not easily provoke it!

"Why does the Human Race always have powerful Prodigies appearing?"

An Immortal Overlord from an ancient clan murmured in a low voice, his eyes full of complex emotions.

He was an ancient being who had survived from the Extinction Era. One must know that in his era, the Human Race was merely blood food for the Myriad Clans.

But everything had changed!

At the same time, an interesting event was unfolding in the Canglan Dao Domain.

The Ancient Sword Dao Sect, led by the Four Ancestors of the Sword Sect, grandly went to visit the Cangwu Dao Academy.

The Four Ancestors of the Sword Sect rarely appeared in the outside world, and his arrival immediately caused a sensation in the Canglan Dao Domain.

"The Ancient Sword Dao Sect actually took the initiative to visit the Cangwu Dao Academy? Interesting! This is unprecedented!"

"Do these sword fanatics also know how to bow their heads? I overestimated them!"

"It seems that the Cangwu Dao Academy has truly climbed to a high branch this time. Even the arrogant Ancient Sword Dao Sect has to bow its head."

"What else can they do but bow their heads? No matter how strong the Ancient Sword Dao Sect is, it only has four Dao Monarchs, which is not enough for that person to kill!"

Everyone discussed animatedly. After all, the Ancient Sword Dao Sect was very arrogant throughout the entire Dao Domain. Sometimes, even the Azurewave Dao Sect wouldn't be given Face by the Ancient Sword Dao Sect.

But this time, the Ancient Sword Dao Sect admitted defeat, which made those forces who had previously suffered setbacks at the hands of the Ancient Sword Dao Sect mock them for quite a while.

Of course, there was more envy, envying the Cangwu Dao Academy for having such a powerful backer.

That day, the Four Ancestors of the Sword Sect and Daoist Cangsong had a secret talk on Cangwu Peak for an entire night. No one knew what they discussed.

However, the next day, the two families announced an alliance to jointly explore the Heavenly Blade Relic three years later.

This news, like a bombshell, instantly ignited the entire Canglan Dao Domain.

And before this, the Sun Family had already allied with the Cangwu Dao Academy.

Now, the Ancient Sword Dao Sect also joined in, which represented an alliance of the three strongest forces in the eastern Canglan, putting great pressure on other forces.

And with the visit of the Ancient Sword Dao Sect, the Cangwu Dao Academy ushered in an unprecedented lively scene.

All the Supreme Powers in the Canglan Dao Domain, even the Azurewave Dao Sect, had Dao Monarchs coming to visit.

In addition, Human Race Supreme Powers from other Dao Domains also came to visit, including some powerhouses from giant, and even Overlord-level forces.

The purpose of these people was self-evident, all coming for the Xu Family.

Since the battle of Eternal Night, the Human Race Holy Temple had sought out the Xu Family, even going as far as to deduce their whereabouts, but they were always unable to locate the Xu Family.

This matter was not a secret, so those forces settled for the next best thing and found the Cangwu Dao Academy. After all, if anyone in the Ancient Land of Dao knew about the Xuanhuang Xu Family, it would only be the Cangwu Dao Academy.

This greatly troubled Daoist Cangsong.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend any of these forces, and he dared not expose the people of the Xu Family. In the end, he could only suffer in silence.
