"Ziqing."
With a stir of his thoughts, Qin Hao woke Mu Ziqing.
"Qin Hao."
Mu Ziqing had still been cultivating, digesting the key points Qin Hao had explained earlier about advancing to a Heaven and Earth True God and an Eternal True God.
Having her cultivation suddenly interrupted by Qin Hao left Mu Ziqing somewhat bewildered.
"Ziqing, Divine Lord Redcloud is here. I'm about to go with him to the Kindling Realm," Qin Hao said quickly, telling Mu Ziqing that he would soon be leaving.
"Divine Lord Redcloud?" Mu Ziqing jumped in surprise and instinctively looked ahead.
Yet whether she looked with her eyes or reached out with her senses,
Mu Ziqing could not detect Divine Lord Redcloud's presence at all.
"The Kindling Realm... will it be dangerous?" Knowing she could not meet Divine Lord Redcloud, Mu Ziqing turned back to Qin Hao, a trace of worry in her expression.
"The Kindling Realm is a place for cultivation, a sacred land for cultivators of our myriad races. There won't be any danger." Qin Hao shook his head.
"Keep an eye on things in Dragon Marquis City, and go to the Qiankun Sect for your regular cultivation."
"I can't talk much longer," Qin Hao said quickly. "I'll break through as soon as I can and return to the Qiankun Continent."
"All right. Take care of yourself." Reluctance to part filled Mu Ziqing's eyes.
Qin Hao nodded, then turned to Divine Lord Redcloud and said respectfully, "Divine Lord Redcloud, I'm ready."
"Little fellow, I do hope you can keep your word and return soon."
Divine Lord Redcloud had been watching from the side the whole time. His tone softened considerably at this, and he said with a smile, "To leave the Kindling Realm, you must at least become a seven-star Ancestral God."
