111: One word, one state

Regarding the five catties of flesh and blood, Qingyang immediately looked at Jin Hua.

Qingyang's meaning was to ask where he could obtain the flesh and blood.

But Jin Hua understood it as Qingyang needing him to provide the payment.

And so, under these circumstances, Qingyang watched as Jin Hua's expression changed for a long time, then gritted his teeth and directly cut off one of his arms.

"Here, five and a half catties, generously given. Now, what should we two do?"

Qingyang: "???"

Across from Qingyang and Jin Hua, the Spirit Fox's pure white skull made a "clack clack" sound, and its somewhat greedy breath approached the arm Jin Hua had cut off.

Then, after the Spirit Fox quickly handed this piece of flesh and blood to the Human behind it, it nodded and said, "Alright, let's begin.

Which of you needs to transmit a message to the Blue Star Surface?"

As it spoke, the Spirit Fox also looked at Jin Hua.

But at this moment, Jin Hua turned his head to look at Qingyang and said, "It's him."

Across the way, the Spirit Fox was a bit conflicted, but in the end, it still asked, "Do you have any relatives or blood connections above? The price for transmitting a message upwards is one character per realm. Are you willing? You can only do it once a year."

One character per realm, and a living being can only do it once a year.

Currently, Qingyang himself is only Tenth-Order, which means he can only transmit ten characters.

After transmitting the ten characters, Qingyang's strength will completely disappear.

Qingyang didn't pay much attention to these things. The main issue now was about relatives and blood connections.

Does Qingyang have any closest blood relatives? It seems not.

For a moment, a hint of awkwardness appeared on Qingyang's bone dragon face.

"None? Then it can't be transmitted. The payment will not be refunded. Farewell."

Seeing the Spirit Fox already getting up to leave, Qingyang, treating a dead horse as if it were alive, asked, "Can my own physical body work? My physical body is still on the Blue Star Surface."

Upon hearing this, the Spirit Fox immediately stopped and turned its head to look at Qingyang.

Subsequently, after a series of serious inquiries by the Spirit Fox, it discovered that Qingyang actually met this requirement.

The condition of having a physical body on Blue Star is also limited; the physical body must be well-preserved to transmit a message.

And so, the Spirit Fox immediately took Qingyang and Jin Hua to a deserted place and began setting something up.

Clearly, transmitting a message upwards is not an easy task. It requires not only the Spirit Fox's innate ability but also many other aids.

Ten characters, each one precious. Qingyang had to think carefully about how he should use these ten characters to transmit his message.

After waiting for a long time, when a huge, strange symbol was drawn, the Spirit Fox signaled Qingyang to stand within it, and its body began to emit waves of dreamlike pink and white light.

...

...

Blue Star, at the core of the Ge Xing Islands.

A year had passed since Qingyang's "death."

During this year of Qingyang's death, because the Ge Xing Islands were sealed off, no force on the entire Blue Star knew the current strength of the Ge Xing Islands.

On the mountaintop, by the pool.

In a scene of peaceful years, Shen Ying was sitting cross-legged by the pool, diligently improving her strength.

Beside Shen Ying, a hundred-meter-long ice crystal black dragon was frozen within the ice. Although there was no longer any aura, it wasn't difficult to see the former deterrence of this black dragon.

Around the black dragon, a White Tiger only about two meters long, a large bird resembling a phoenix with eyes flashing with emerald green light,

and a dragon turtle with a diameter of about one meter, closest to the pool, were also quietly and diligently absorbing the spiritual energy of the world.

This afternoon, in this quiet atmosphere, at a certain moment, a faint cracking sound suddenly appeared in the ice surrounding the huge frozen black dragon.

The sound was very small, but the three Divine Beasts present were now all Eleventh-Order existences, so they immediately looked at the huge sculpture.

Noticing the expressions of the three great Divine Beasts, Shen Ying also suddenly looked up, gazing at the black dragon's head, which was imposing even without anger.

"Crack~"

Suddenly, pieces of ice on the frozen black dragon's head unexpectedly cracked and fell off without any warning.

Not far away, Ba Qing said in a low voice, "It has been dead for a year, and the extreme temperature is gradually rising with the temperature of the world, alas~"

Hearing Ba Qing's words, tears immediately began to stream down Shen Ying's eyes uncontrollably.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the black dragon's abdomen.

"Protect my body, slaughter, devour, Sixteenth-Order."

The voice clearly came from Qingyang's abdomen, who had been dead for a year, causing Ba Qing, Little Luan, and Xuan Ming to stand up simultaneously, a flicker of excitement in their eyes.

Qingyang was still alive.

Facing this situation, Ba Qing's suppressed emotions of a year were instantly released.

"Roar~"

The violent tiger roar spread for thousands of miles, leaving the various forces observing the area puzzled.

Two days later, Golden Pixiu returned from outside.

The four Eleventh-Order Divine Beasts discussed the matter, especially the message Qingyang had transmitted two days earlier, which made the four Divine Beasts begin to ponder what his instructions were.

"Protect my body" is easy to understand: protect the black dragon's body, which currently has no energy fluctuations.

"Slaughter, devour, Sixteenth-Order" is clearly one sentence.

"Does he mean for us to work hard to break through to the Sixteenth-Order?" Ba Qing asked in confusion.

Each era, each stage, has its own troubles.

In the era when Qingyang was still around, the world had not long since recovered, and various forces were very chaotic. As one force fell, another rose, and as long as your strength was sufficient, you could continuously slaughter and devour to grow.

But now, after a year of settling, zhen crystal have long been depleted by various forces, almost extinct.

Without benefits, and with various forces tending towards stability, large-scale battles are now rare. Almost all Fierce Beasts and Humans primarily absorb the spiritual energy of the world.

Under these circumstances, it is difficult to advance to the Sixteenth-Order.

But Qingyang has given them instructions. How to do it is up to them.

...

Inner Realm.

Originally, according to the Spirit Fox's plan, Qingyang was only supposed to say nine characters.

But Qingyang directly said ten characters, immediately causing himself to be formatted.

But the good thing is that Qingyang's hundred-meter dragon body did not disappear, nor did his memory.

In other words, the current Qingyang, apart from the disappearance of his white energy and strength, has not changed much otherwise.

In the distance, the Spirit Fox's pure white, lustrous bone body also appeared lifeless.

Clearly, it needed a long time to recover.

In Qingyang's current state, if Jin Hua wanted to, just a wave of his hand or a breath could completely kill Qingyang.

But Jin Hua did not do that. While carefully holding Qingyang's remaining soul fire in his hand, he looked at Qingyang's huge dragon body and muttered to himself.

"The Inner Realm is never short of white bones. Let's leave it here for now. When you reach Fourth-Order and have enough energy to move your hundred-meter body, we'll come back."
