Time passes.

One month, two months, three months......

Before you know it, nearly a year has passed since Qingxu returned to Earth.

In this year's time, he relied on the Refining Pill to successively cultivate eight top powerhouses, four of these eight top powerhouses, when they took the Refining Pill, they broke through to the seventh order, and the remaining four, after a year of continuous essence and exercise, they also broke through one after another, stepping into the seventh order, although they could not kill the third-order and fourth-order fierce beasts in the second and third orders, but they also had the ability to compete with the eighth-order fierce beasts.

In addition, the biggest advantage of human beings lies in wisdom and group cooperation, one person can't kill the eighth-order fierce beasts, so several people join forces to form a team to surround and kill those eighth-order fierce beasts, in this case, in this year's time, the eighth-order fierce beasts that died in their hands reached more than twenty, which is almost half of the total number of all eighth-order fierce beasts in the earth world, as for the remaining half, it is basically a group of fierce beasts, it is not easy to kill, they have the intention to eliminate it, but they can only slowly figure it.

In addition, with the promotion of the Nine Chapters Forging Divine Technique and the establishment of the Spiritual Ability Association, the earth civilization has given birth to many spiritual beings.

However, most of the spiritual abilities born are only limited to the third order, the fourth order is quite rare, and the highest few are several seventh-order martial artists who have taken the alchemy pill, these people have taken the alchemy pill to enhance their physique, and the spirit seems to have also been tempered under the effect of refining qi and transforming gods, and they have broken through to the sixth order.

It's a pity that this level distance is too early to drive a sacred-level mecha, and Qingxu even suspects that even after sixteen years, even after sixteen years, the earth civilization may not be able to give birth to even a spiritual energy capable person whose spiritual power has reached the critical point of the ninth order.

On the whole, the development of the earth's civilization can still be called thriving, but for Qingxu, the more time passes, the more torment in his heart becomes.

For no other reason, there has been no news of Jiang Ningzhi.

And at this moment, he has even begun to despair in his heart.

If it weren't for the belief in his heart that Jiang Ningzhi would never die easily, he would even have to give up and continue to search.

Suppressed by the lack of anyone for a long time, he didn't even have the heart to study the fourth sword after the Eclipse Sword, the Sword of the Black Sun......

Even if the scientists at the institute have already provided a good research model.

Finally......

Even if Qingxu is unwilling to face it, he has to admit a fact.

Jiang Ningzhi......

I'm afraid that I really lost my life in the catastrophe at the beginning of the outbreak of the beast.

......

"Qingxu?"

In the mansion of the city lord of the ancient jade city, Qing Yuming was busy with his own affairs and came out of it, and when he saw Qingxu waiting at the door, he suddenly shouted, and stepped forward with a smile: "Since you are here, why don't you let people inform me, I can come down early." ”

"Father, you are now the city lord of the ancient jade city, and you are also the deputy commander of the ancient jade city base, a big man with the rank of lieutenant general. ”

Qingxu smiled and said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go back and talk while walking, your Aunt Haitang has been talking about inviting you to dinner all this time, thank you well, but I have been busy with your time, since people are here today, don't go." ”

Qing Yuming pulled Qingxu and was about to walk to his residence.

Qingxu didn't refuse, but just said: "Father, since you have already given them the petals of the flower that does not fall, then I won't say anything anymore, I just hope that she can live a good life with you." ”

Speaking of this, Qingxu was quite helpless.

He gave Qing Yuming a flower that does not fall, because he was worried that Qing Yuming would not be able to stand the medicinal power of the flower that does not fall, he divided it into five petals and let him take them one by one, not wanting him to secretly hide three petals after learning the effect of the flower that does not fall, and let Haitang, Qing Yuxin, and Hai Weier take it respectively, if it weren't for the fact that he noticed the change in Hai Weier's breath, he probably wouldn't be able to detect this.

He felt quite unhappy about this matter, but it had already happened, coupled with Qing Yuming's kind words and persuasion, and Haitang was also a good wife and mother in this year, Qingxu couldn't get angry in the end, so he had to acquiesce in the occurrence of this incident.

"Father, I have something to tell you about this time. ”

"Oh?"

Qing Yuming looked at Qingxu: "Do you want to change places?"

"No, let's talk as we go. ”

Qingxu organized his words for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Actually, I'm afraid that not only you, father, but everyone in the entire Earth Federation are very curious, how did I have the combat power that is not inferior to that of a tenth-order high-level life, and I also brought a lot of strange flowers and fruits full of divine wonders, right?"

"This matter, if you don't want to say it, we won't force you, and I believe that no one in the entire Earth Federation will persecute you. ”

Qing Yuming said consciously.

"That's the case, but you can already see the current situation of the Earth Federation, although I have given them mecha technology and spiritual cultivation methods, but, as the enchantment that guards our earth world gradually disappears, one day, the Captain Sauron who is eyeing our earth civilization will enter our earth civilization, and this time will not be very long, at most a hundred years! Do you think that after a hundred years, our earth civilization will be able to resist the invasion of such a terrifying powerhouse?"

Qing Yuming has now been exceptionally promoted to the high-level council of Huaxia District, and even because of Qingxu's relationship, he has a place in the supreme council, but he is only an alternate seat with the qualification to observe.

Although he is on the alternate seat, he is also well aware of the dangers encountered by the current earth civilization, and he also understands what a terrifying existence that Captain Sauron is, even if the earth civilization develops for another hundred years and builds hundreds or thousands of sacred-level mechas, in front of the fifteenth-order terrifying creatures such as Sauron, they will still be destroyed and destroyed.

"What do you want to do?"

"We have to find a way out for Earth's civilization. ”

Qing Yuming suddenly understood: "You...... You're leaving?"

Qingxu nodded: "If I leave, the earth's enchantment will inevitably be weakened again, and the next spatial expansion should be someday in sixteen years, and I will try my best to come in sixteen years." ”

"Sixteen Years ......"

Qing Yuming's face was a little gloomy.

Their father had been separated for thirteen years, and now he had only been reunited for a year, and now he had to be separated for another sixteen years, and he naturally felt a little uncomfortable.

However, he understood that it was imperative for Qingxu to leave to find a way to survive for the earth civilization, and no one had a position to stop it, not even his father, so in order not to put pressure on Qingxu, he could only pretend to smile lightly: " Sixteen years only, don't forget, I have taken a whole flower that does not fall, if the flower that does not fall is really as magical as you say, I should be able to live for a thousand years, sixteen years is nothing, even if you go for a long time, it doesn't matter, I believe that after sixteen years, our Earth Federation will definitely be able to create a powerful divine mecha and cultivate a seventh-order, Eighth-order, or even ninth-order spiritual powerhouses, even if the spatial passage expands again, we can still easily deal with it, so you don't have to push yourself too much, if you can't think of a way to think about it again in sixteen years, there will be no danger in the earth world. ”

Qingxu listened, and just nodded cautiously.

"I'll call the senior members of the council to explain this matter at that time, but there is another thing I need you to keep an eye on, father. ”

"You say. ”

Qing Yuming tidied up his clothes and said solemnly.

"This matter is related to Senior Sister Jiang Ningzhi. ”

"Jiang Ningzhi ......"

Qing Yuming heard Qingxu mention this, and his expression darkened slightly: "I didn't expect her to have such a weight in your mind, I knew that even if I risked offending the Ye family and the Huang family, I would have to find a way to help you save Jiang Ningzhi, but now, you have used all the forces of the entire Earth Federation, and you haven't found her for a whole year, I'm afraid she has really ......."

"No!"

Qingxu reached out and nodded his eyebrows: "I trust my intuition, she's not dead yet." ”

Qing Yuming looked at Qingxu and wanted to persuade again, but under the guilt, he didn't know how to persuade him, and finally had to sigh: "What do you want me to do?"

"I need your father, to continue to supervise this order to find Senior Sister Jiang Ningzhi, and at the same time ......"

Qingxu took out a refining pill and an immortal flower: "If you find her, give this to her." ”

Qing Yuming took these two things and put them away cautiously: "Don't worry, if I find her, I will give these things to her." ”

"Hmm. ”

Qingxu nodded, and at the end, added: "Father, don't let anyone know about these two things, you should understand the value they have in the Earth Federation." ”

Qing Yuming couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this: "You kid, I understand this kind of thing more thoroughly than you, why do I need your reminder." ”

After saying that, he suddenly fell silent.

And Qingxu didn't say anything, but pressed the elevator, and the two entered the elevator.

"Little Ruin, went to that place...... Take care of yourself......"

After a while, when the elevator was about to reach the floor where Qing Yuming lived, Qing Yuming's tone was slightly hoarse.

"Father, don't worry, I have spent just a few years in the Earth Martial Arts Realm to break through the name of the Sword Saint, and in that world, I am also known as the Sword Venerable, the Sword Dao Supreme, and there are only a handful of people who can threaten me in that world. ”

"That's good, that's good. ”

Qing Yuming breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

"Ding. ”

At this time, the elevator door is also opened.

On the other side of the corridor, Haitang, who learned that Qingxu was coming, pulled her daughter Qing Yuxin to open the iron door outside and the solid wood door inside, and was standing at the door to greet her.

Seeing the arrival of Qingxu and Qingyuming, he greeted him with a smile, took the briefcase for Qingyuming, and at the same time said to Qingxu with apologies and thanks: "Qingxu, welcome home." ”
