Fourth Soul Ring!
Zhou Qing didn't hide anything and described the ten dimensions of the universe.
How did you know?
It can be said that this is the message conveyed by the Golden Dragon Spear.
After understanding the concept of dimension, everyone suddenly realized.
"So, the world we live in is Three-Dimensional Space, while the legendary Divine Realm is Fourth-Dimensional Space?" Xiao Wu asked in surprise.
"Yes. Moreover, based on the concept that Fourth-Dimensional Space has a Materialization of time, any being that can perceive the passage of time can theoretically become a god," Zhou Qing guessed.
There is no concrete rule of "time" in Three-Dimensional Space. Time is just an abstract concept defined by humans based on their observation of the Four Seasons Cycle, sunrise and sunset, and the movement of matter.
But there is no doubt that Sentient Creature in Three-Dimensional Space can all sense the passage of time.
Therefore, all Sentient Creature have the potential to break through the level of Level 100.
"However, that's still a long way off for us, so let's leave that aside for now. Right now, we need to consider the issues with Huo Zhanji and the others."
After gaining control of the Golden Dragon Spear, Zhou Qing did indeed obtain some information.
That was Huo Zhanji and the others' mission in coming here: to kill him, Romantina, and Wang Sheng, three humans who shouldn't have caused such a commotion in "official history".
In fact, to truly set things right, Tang San and Xiao Wu would have to be killed as well.
But perhaps out of pity for Tang San, the Supreme God King of another time and space, they only targeted him, Romantina, and Wang Sheng.
"Huo Zhanji and the others came from another Three-Dimensional Space?"
Tang San was so surprised that he couldn't speak, but then his eyes turned cold and he said, "No wonder their methods were so strange, they are Outer Realm Heavenly Demon!"
In his previous life, the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon specifically referred to Demonic Path practitioners outside the Central Plains. Now, applying this term to Huo Zhanji and others who come from another world, or even another time and space, is quite appropriate.
As for his identity Transmigrator...
It's clearly reincarnation!
Heaven Dou City.
After nearly a month's journey, the Advanced Academy within the Heaven Dou territory finally returned to Heaven Dou City.
The palace was magnificent and resplendent.
The hall was magnificent and splendid.
Xue Ye, who was sitting on the Millennium Throne, slowly rose and looked down at the various Advanced Academy. However, he did not see anyone from the Nuoding Academy. He frowned.
The imposing presence Zhou Qing, the captain of the Nuoding Team, displayed during the Preliminary Competition was enough to make him uneasy. Not to mention, the other party didn't even participate in the Promotion Competition... Now that he has won the Continental Elite Tournament, he hasn't even come to pay him a visit!
How arrogant!
Even if he was displeased in his heart, Xue Ye could not show any dissatisfaction at this moment. He could only do as usual to bestow the noble titles of Baron upon the outstanding contestants in this competition and grant them corresponding fiefs.
As for the Nuoding Academy, which was absent—
Xue Ye made no mention of it.
Members of other Advanced Academy teams didn't say much, only lamenting that the Nuoding Team was a bit too arrogant.
Where did the members of Nuoding Team go?
In the Sunset Forest.
Zhou Qing has reached level 40 and needs a Fourth Spirit Ring to complete the "fire" element among the Four True Essences, as well as the "summer" element among the four seasons.
He had a premonition that when fire and summer were complete, his still imperfect Inner Scenery would truly form a cycle, constructing a truly complete Inner Scenery World. In the future, there would be no more bottlenecks in cultivation, and he would only need to focus on accumulation.
The Fourth Spirit Ring he chose was the Singing Summer Cicada.
Although it was already autumn and the Singing Summer Cicada were hard to find, the Continental Elite Tournament was over, and they had plenty of time.
And Goddess Luck seemed to be on Zhou Qing's side.
In less than three days, the group found a Singing Summer Cicada, over nine thousand years old and the size of a human head, that was on the verge of death in a dead tree.
The cultivation of Soul Beast is similar to that of humans. Even within the same species, many individuals reach their cultivation limit due to their cultivation aptitude or growth experience, making it impossible for them to make further breakthroughs, thus leading to the end of their lifespan.
The Singing Summer Cicada is at the limit of nine thousand years, is just like that.
This Singing Summer Cicada, sensing the presence of humans, neither attacked nor resisted. It simply thumped its abdominal membrane, emitting high-pitched chirps, as if singing a final song before its Life.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing did not make any move in advance, but simply listened quietly to the Singing Summer Cicada singing in autumn!
"Chirp! Chirp!"
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"
Suddenly, the chirping of cicadas filled everyone's ears.
In the nearby fields, Singing Summer Cicada, some a thousand years old, some a hundred years old, and even some Ten-Year Singing Summer Cicada, emerged from the ground.
For a moment, everyone was on high alert.
After a while, they realized that the Singing Summer Cicada were not attacking them, but just chirping incessantly. At first, the chirping was very noisy and annoying, but gradually, the sounds became unified, as if they were playing a Surging Heart piece of music under the guidance of an invisible conductor.
Now.
The autumn wind is chilly.
But amidst this cicada-singing concert, the air grew scorching, as if we had returned to summer.
When the song ended, all the Singing Summer Cicada burrowed back into their tree holes and underground, while the Singing Summer Cicada whose cultivation was at the limit of nine thousand years was left with only a breath left.
The moment Zhou Qing raised his hand to touch it, Singing Summer Cicada also exhaled its last breath. The human aura mingled with its cultivation, causing a faint black Soul Ring to appear.
In Life final moments, amidst the blessings and farewells of its kin's songs, this Singing Summer Cicada broke through to the ten-thousand-year level of cultivation.
Unfortunately, it was too late for it.
But this is also the opportunity for this Singing Summer Cicada!
As Zhou Qing absorbed the Soul Ring and, with Romantina's assistance, completed the Secondary Refinement—
The Four Innate True Essences: Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire!
It's all been completed!
The Four Seasons of Heaven and Earth: spring, summer, autumn and winter!
It also completes the picture!
The Innate Internal Scripture Chart operates, with Earth, Water, Wind, Fire forming the foundation of the Inner Scenery World. Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter occupy the atria and ventricles of the heart in the Blood Circulation System Martial Soul, respectively, and then circulate in the blood vessels, bringing the cycle of the four seasons to the Inner Scenery World!
The Moo Spring Ox, the Dancing Winter Rabbit, the Wind Autumn Sparrow autumn, and the Singing Summer Cicada evolve into the Spirits of the Four Seasons, bringing seasonal cycles to Eight Extraordinary Meridians Inner Scenery World. Relying on the eight extraordinary meridians and the Three Passes and Nine Apertures Eight Trigrams to form the eight trigrams, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms are evolved. Furthermore, with the help of the Twelve Primary Meridians, the Seventy-Two Pentads are derived.
At this point, Zhou Qing's Inner Scenery World was fully opened up. Based on the Eight Trigrams Eight Extraordinary Meridians and Twelve Primary Meridians Twelve Yuan Chen throughout the body, he evolved the eight trigrams and twelve earthly branches. He also borrowed the earth, fire, water, wind, and the Four Seasons Cycle to correspond to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms of the spine and evolve the Seventy-Two Pentads.
And so!
Amidst the horrified gazes of Tang San, Xiao Wu, Romantina, Wang Sheng, Bu Liu, Bu Qi, and others, Zhou Qing disintegrated completely after absorbing his Fourth Spirit Ring, leaving only a set of clothes behind.
"Where's Qing Ge?!"
Wang Sheng's eyes widened. He raised his hand and rubbed it vigorously, then grabbed the set of clothes, finally confirming that what was happening before his eyes was not a hallucination...
