541 Golden Crow Descends Into the Heavenly Palace (2)

This attraction caused him to be unable to feel the slightest bit of disgust. Everything the other party did could only give him a good impression.

Hence, Xu Qing tried his best to calm his emotions and softly recounted his story in the Prison Department, including his acquaintance with Kong Xianglong, his opinion of the unreasonable Palace Master, and so on.

Everything was brief. However, neither he nor Zi Xuan noticed that not far away from the pavilion, a little boy was squatting there and looking at them curiously.

It tilted its small head and its expression was filled with confusion. It carefully sized up Zi Xuan, as though it was trying to determine if the other party had any ill intentions.

Its first feeling was that the other party didn’t have any ill intentions, but it also felt that she seemed to be a little possessive, so it didn’t dare to get too close.

This made it a little vexed. It simply sat down and ignored them.

Zi Xuan gazed at Xu Qing attentively, taking in every word he said. As the bright moon shone high in the sky, Xu Qing finished talking about his post to her. Zi Xuan’s expression remained gentle as she spoke softly.

“I can tell that you’re… a little confused about the Sword Holder.”

“It’s very difficult for you to accept such an organization and you haven’t encountered anything similar, so you have doubts. Due to your self-protection instincts, you want to stay away because you don’t want to have a shackle.”

Zi Xuan smiled gently.

“Follow your heart. Don’t think too much and continue to observe calmly. When you start having respect for this organization and the people in it, you might have an answer.”

Xu Qing’s mind trembled as he fell into deep thought. He then stood up and bowed to Zi Xuan.

“Kid, close your eyes.”

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment before closing his eyes.

The instant he closed his eyes, Zi Xuan gently moved closer to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s breathing hastened slightly. He could sense that the fragrance had become denser at this moment, as though a breath had landed on his face.

The instant he wanted to open his eyes, Zi Xuan’s finger gently tapped his forehead.

A lively and seductive voice echoed in his ears.

“Kid, you have to calm your heart. Imagine your Fifth Heavenly Palace becoming it. You might have seen it before, but I don’t know if you saw it as clearly as this…”

As Zi Xuan’s voice rang out, an image entered Xu Qing’s eyes. It was a dragon carriage!

In the deep sea, the dragon carriage was being pulled by a giant.

It was also the sun’s carriage.

“This is the way to fuse an emperor-level cultivation art into the Heavenly Palace. Every emperor-level cultivation art is different. Golden Crow Refines All Life… requires a dragon carriage.”

Xu Qing’s mind shook and he instantly understood. Although the dragon carriage that appeared in his mind was very clear, it was still a little lacking.

This was because Xu Qing had truly stepped onto the dragon carriage.

In fact, he had stayed there longer than most people. That was why he had obtained the complete inheritance of Golden Crow Refines All Life.

However, this image was also extremely important. He could combine it with the dragon carriage in his memories, making this memory clearer and the dragon carriage even clearer in his perception.

At the next instant, Xu Qing’s body trembled intensely. The stone stool he was sitting on transformed into a cushion and the pavilion transformed into a pagoda that protected him.

The surrounding grassland turned into countless small people, each with a solemn expression, facing away from Xu Qing and toward the distance, vowing to protect him with their lives.

As for those large mountains, they became giants. After they stood up from the ground, they emitted vast might.

The trees were the same.

Everything here directly became the best shelter Zi Xuan had prepared for Xu Qing. Although the possibility of an accident happening was negligible, she was still worried.

Hence, she sat cross-legged beside Xu Qing and personally protected him.

Just like that, Xu Qing’s breakthrough began.

His Fifth Heavenly Palace first changed its appearance and was gradually transforming into the appearance of the dragon carriage. At this moment, the image in his mind that Zi Xuan had paid a huge price to obtain and the memories of the dragon carriage that he had personally experienced played a key role.

His Fifth Heavenly Palace rapidly changed and finally completely transformed into a dragon carriage. Moreover, it was even more realistic than the image and emitted a shocking aura.

After sensing his Fifth Heavenly Palace, Xu Qing’s heart was filled with joy and he spoke softly.

“Golden Crow returns to the carriage and the moon rises!”

The totemic tattoo on Xu Qing’s back suddenly shone. The Golden Crow manifested and soared toward the sky. It spread its wings in the sky and let out a cheerful cry. After circling several times in the air, it headed straight for Xu Qing.

It directly rushed into Xu Qing’s body through the top of his head, flying into his sea of consciousness and into the dragon carriage formed by the Fifth Heavenly Palace. When it reached the depths, the Golden Crow shone and transformed into a blurry youth.

The youth’s appearance was actually Xu Qing’s.

He was dressed in a black-gold emperor robe and adorned with a matching-colored emperor crown on his head. His noble demeanor and imposing presence were accentuated as he sat upright in the dragon carriage that was formed by the Fifth Heavenly Palace.

In the Fifth Heavenly Palace, rainbow flames flickered and transformed into the shadow of the Golden Crow.

As it rumbled in all directions, the might of Golden Crow Refines All Life also soared. Its tail directly doubled from the previous 19 to 42.

Looking at the tails, Xu Qing suddenly had a realization.

When it reached a hundred, Golden Crow Refines All Life would advance to the third level!

Xu Qing suddenly opened his eyes and everything in the surroundings disappeared. Regardless of whether it was the pagoda or the small people, as well as the giants in the distance, they all disappeared without a trace the instant he opened his eyes.

This was the courtyard outside Building A1. Xu Qing sat cross-legged on the ground. When he lifted his head, he saw Zi Xuan’s back view at the door.

“The sky is already bright. Aren’t you going to work today?” Zi Xuan stood by the door and turned, smiling at Xu Qing.

The sky was already beginning to lighten as the night had passed.

Xu Qing looked at Zi Xuan and gratitude appeared in his eyes. He stood up and cupped his fists, bowing deeply.

“Thank you…”

“Don’t call me Senior. Call me by my name,” Zi Xuan said softly.

Xu Qing hesitated.

“Thank you, Zi Xuan.”

“Why does it sound so strange…” Zi Xuan shook her head helplessly.

“Come, I’ll teach you. You have to say, Zi Xuan, thank you. Your voice has to be gentler.” Zi Xuan looked at Xu Qing with anticipation.

Xu Qing fell silent and spoke softly.

“Zi Xuan, thank you.”

Upon hearing this, Zi Xuan’s eyes lit up. The corners of her mouth curled up into a beautiful smile as she nodded slightly and spoke softly.

“Xu Qing, you don’t have to thank me.”

As the two of them spoke, the atmosphere seemed to change a little.

A long time later, Xu Qing drew in a deep breath and bowed again.

“Disciple will take his leave first.”

As Xu Qing spoke, he walked out. Just as he was about to leave the courtyard, Zi Xuan’s lazy and enchanting voice rang out from behind him.

“After some time, accompany me to meet a few of my best friends in the county capital. This is the second thing you promised me.”

Zi Xuan’s coquettish voice contained a hint of demonic charm. It was like the cry of a kite or the phoenix, but it was also gentle and warm.

It possessed a strange power that could seep into one’s heart and transform into water of heart that gradually heated up.
