Chapter 595 - 595 Meeting an Acquaintance in a Foreign Land

595 Meeting an Acquaintance in a Foreign Land

The Holy Wave Race was a race formed after the Grand Duke betrayed the human race back then. They retained some of the inherent thoughts of the human race in the past.

For example, hierarchy.

In reality, it was fine in Fenghai County and other counties. Because they were either enclaves or exclaves, the sense of hierarchy wasn’t that clear and strict. However, it wasn’t the case in the Grand Imperial Capital Region.

Due to the fact that the Holy Wave Race was relatively intact as a whole and shared common characteristics with the Grand Imperial Capital Region, the sense of hierarchy was equally intense. It was deeply ingrained in the consciousness of every member of the race.

The members of the Holy Wave Race were divided into six levels according to their family registry, with the upper two levels being known as the n.o.bles, the middle two as soldiers, and the bottom two were slaves.

For example, the king of the Zenith Nation and his son were at middle level.

In the Holy Wave Race, one’s status was extremely important. Unless one’s cultivation base reached a heaven-defying level, it would be very difficult to change it. After all, the bloodline of those with higher ident.i.ty was more outstanding and they had more resources. The possibility of an expert appearing among them was naturally higher.

In the Holy Wave Race, the right to raise the registry was equivalent to controlling the core of the Holy Wave Race. This right was only possessed by the Black Heaven Temple.

Every dynasty had a Black Heaven Temple.

The Black Heaven Statue was a gift from the temple.

This kind of raising the registry was the blessing of the Black Heaven.

The person being blessed would get an aura that was closer to the Black Heaven Race.

Hence, for countless years, under the subtle influence of the Black Heaven Race, the members of the Holy Wave Race had an incomparable desire to have their registry raised.

This was also the reason why the mind of the king of the Zenith Nation was in turmoil.

Even though he had many doubts previously, after seeing his son being blessed with his own eyes, his heart was shaken.

The change in that aura was real, and he knew very well that not every member of the Black Heaven Race could bless others.

Those who could do this were either experts of the Black Heaven Race or temple cultivators.

The Black Heaven Race had a G.o.d. The Holy Wave Race was aware of this and the other races also knew of it. Although most of them weren’t willing to admit it, this was the reality.

The G.o.d of the Black Heaven Race slept on the red moon and was worshiped by them for generations.

It was also because of the protection of the G.o.d that the Black Heaven Race had G.o.d attendants and temples. They were the rulers of the Black Heaven Race.

After these thoughts rose in the mind of the king of the Zenith Nation, he took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.

After he left, he immediately gave the order to collect the Profound Heaven Demon Moon Pills. At the same time, he contacted the other cities about the distribution of the True Immortal Ten Guts fruits this time.

However, this process wasn’t smooth.

The other 35 cities didn’t believe in this matter as strongly as he did. After all, this matter was too unbelievable. One had to know that over the countless years, many outsiders had infiltrated as Black Heaven Race members, but none of them were real.

Due to this, the king of the Zenith Nation didn’t report this matter to the dynasty immediately. He was going to wait for the other cities to confirm before reporting it.

After all even if he was 99% sure, if there was really a problem, it would be fine if he didn’t report it. He could still resolve it on his own. If he reported it, he would probably be implicated and be blamed for misconduct.

Just like that, seven days pa.s.sed.

Although there were still two days before a large number of True Immortal Dao Fruits matured, in reality, in the past few days, Dao fruits were already maturing sporadically and could be plucked outside the True Immortal Ten Guts jungle.

At the same time, those outsiders who used all kinds of methods to infiltrate also took action one after another. Some succeeded, while others failed. Every day, the patrol team formed by the 36 cities would capture many outsiders who snuck in.

The outcomes were different. Some were executed and hung on the Ten Guts Canopy as a warning, while others were either punished and chased away or imprisoned for various reasons.

Even so, because the Dao fruits were extremely valuable, there were still many infiltrators.

As for the captain, after he sensed that a portion of the Dao fruits had ripened, he couldn’t suppress the desire in his heart and discussed it with Xu Qing before deciding to make a move.

Xu Qing thought so too.

These few days, they had been staying in the palace. It looked safe but in reality, they were in great danger. Although he was confident that there was nothing wrong with his ident.i.ty, he was still a little worried about whether he could really hide it from experts. After all, nothing was absolute.

Moreover, the concealment talisman on his body was constantly dissipating.

Therefore, time was very important.

Hence, on the morning of the eighth day, Xu Qing and the captain left the palace. Prince Muye led a group of guards and followed them to the outer perimeter of the True Immortal Ten Guts.

“Master, this place is our Holy Wave Race’s True Immortal Ten Guts. The fruits in the depths haven’t ripened and we can’t enter yet.” Outside the jungle, Muye’s eyes were filled with piety as he spoke respectfully.

“The interior of the True Immortal Ten Guts jungle is filled with terrifying pressure all year round and it’s difficult to step in. Only on the day the fruits completely ripen will the pressure there dissipate.”

During this period of time, Muye would kneel in front of Xu Qing’s room almost every day, preparing to be summoned at any time. It could be said that he was the most loyal person to Xu Qing in the entire Zenith Nation.

On one hand, Xu Qing had raised his ident.i.ty. On the other hand, it was also because the source of the anomalous substances that had fused into his body was Xu Qing’s. Hence, there was nothing wrong with calling him master.

Xu Qing sensed the familiar anomalous substances in the other party’s body and nodded slightly. After that, he looked at the pitch-black jungle in front of him with no end in sight. He then lifted his head and looked at the ten main trees that meandered into the sky in the distance, forming a huge canopy.

Even now, he couldn’t imagine that this was formed from the intestines of the Calamity Immortal Race’s immortal.

“Master, you shouldn’t scan this place with your senses at night for the next few days. In the past, during the period when the True Immortal Ten Guts’ fruits matured, a special aura would form here.”

“You will be invaded by it if you sense it, and it’s harmful.”

Hearing Muye’s words, the captain who was walking in front asked curiously.

“Harmful? How is it harmful?”

“Lord, it will cause hallucinations. There are records that someone once saw the scene of the Calamity Immortal Race’s cultivator becoming an immortal. After that, they went crazy and cut open their stomach to imitate the immortal.”

Muye respectfully spoke.

The captain’s eyes lit up. He approached a tree and pulled down an eye-like fruit, placing it in his storage bag.

This place belonged to the periphery of the True Immortal Ten Guts. There were many eye fruits hanging on the trees. Some were open, and some were closed.

“The open-eye fruits can be plucked.” Muye explained.

Looking at the captain picking continuously, Xu Qing placed his hands behind his back and calmly spoke.

“How many Dao Fruits are there in total?”

“Master, there are about 300,000 Dao fruits every 100 years.” Muye hurriedly answered.

“Muye, get your men to pluck them for me,” Xu Qing suddenly said.

Muye immediately nodded and turned to call out to all his followers. They walked toward the fruits that looked like open eyes and spread out to pick them.

Their actions were very proficient. They plucked very quickly and it didn’t take long for them to pluck more than ten. When Xu Qing saw this scene, his heart raced a little.

This was over 100,000 military contributions!

After noticing the desire in Qing Qiu’s eyes, Xu Qing suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmly spoke.

“You can go pick them too.”

Qing Qiu instantly rushed out and headed straight for the fruits.

Xu Qing had already unsealed her cultivation base a few days ago. However, he was worried that she would ruin things, so he didn’t give her the storage bag. Instead, he gave an empty storage bag for temporary use.

Looking at Qing Qiu’s departing back, the corners of Xu Qing’s mouth curled into a smile. However, he quickly restrained his smile and looked in the captain’s direction.

At that moment, the captain’s eyes were shining brightly as he grabbed one Dao fruit after another and muttered something that outsiders couldn’t hear.

Xu Qing swept his gaze over and guessed that the captain must be counting his military contributions.

“Eldest Senior Brother’s composure isn’t enough. What’s there to count?” Xu Qing clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head inwardly.

Not long after, Muye respectfully sent over the 25 Dao fruits they had picked. Xu Qing picked them up and placed them in his storage bag as he muttered inwardly.

“250,000!”

After that, he looked at Muye and the Holy Wave Race cultivators who continued to pluck the fruits and silently counted.

“26, 28, 31”

As for whether the captain’s actions would expose them, Xu Qing couldn’t care less. Just like that, after counting for an hour, the ripe fruits in this area were all plucked.

They had plucked about a hundred of them and were about to head to other areas to continue when sounds of chaos rang out from the jungle in the distance.

Muye immediately became vigilant and arrived in front of Xu Qing like a guard. He ordered the surrounding Holy Wave Race guards to go over and check the situation. Not long later, someone returned.

“Sir, it’s the patrol team from Cloud Nation. They captured a few infiltrators. Among them, there’s a descendant of the Calamity Immortal Race. They surrounded and captured him just now.”

“Descendant of the Calamity Immortal Race?” Xu Qing remembered that the captain and others had said that the True Immortal Ten Guts were transformed from the last member of the Calamity Immortal Race who had become an immortal.

“Master, pure-blooded Calamity Immortal Race no longer exists. However, there are many mixed-blood descendants in the Holy Wave Domain. It’s not good for us to kill such cultivators. We’ll mostly imprison them until the fruits are plucked and release them.”

Just as Muye was explaining, footsteps rang out from afar and deep shouts echoed.

“What right do you have to capture me? I’m a descendant of the Calamity Immortal Race. This is the place where my ancestor became an immortal!”

“I’m here to take some Dao fruits. What reason do you have to stop me? I don’t want much. I only want 30!”

“If you dare to touch me here, I’ll die in front of you. Let my blood spill on the ancestor. The ancestor will definitely be furious when he wakes up!”

When the voice rang out, the captain’s gaze became focused. Xu Qing’s gaze also flickered slightly.

Very soon, a group of cultivators from the Holy Wave Race who weren’t from the Zenith Nation escorted seven to eight cultivators who had snuck in here and pa.s.sed by Xu Qing and the others.

After seeing Xu Qing and the captain, the expressions of these Holy Wave Race cultivators changed. They had also heard about the two of them and hurriedly greeted them.

Among the seven to eight cultivators they were escorting, there was a youth who emitted a different aura. His forehead had a totemic tattoo that was twisted like a snake or intestines.

The youth was shouting loudly with an indignant expression. When his gaze swept past Xu Qing and the captain, he was stunned because he recognized the Black Heaven Race.

At the next instant, when he saw Qing Qiu, his body trembled slightly. However, he quickly regained his composure and continued to curse, while quickening his footsteps.

Qing Qiu retracted her gaze. Her expression didn’t change at all, as though she didn’t know him.

The captain snorted coldly and narrowed his eyes.

Xu Qing’s gaze swept over as he muttered inwardly.

‘Ning Yan, he actually came here?’
