When Xu Qing heard this, he glanced at the captain. Previously, outside the Divine Mountain, he had naturally sensed the captain’s concealment. In addition, Flame Mystic had probed with killing intent later on and there was also information about the shanchi forest in the Mountains and Seas Region.

All of this matched.

The captain must have had an intense conflict with Flame Mystic. Moreover, the one who suffered a loss was Flame Mystic…

Although Flame Mystic’s cultivation was comparable to the Soul Accumulation Realm and was very terrifying, in Xu Qing’s heart, there seemed to be nothing that the captain couldn’t resolve. As for Flame Mystic’s secret, Xu Qing wasn’t interested.

However, seeing that Eldest Senior Brother was in high spirits, Xu Qing nodded and replied cooperatively.

“What secret?”

The captain’s eyes lit up and he licked his lips. He sat in front of Xu Qing and instinctively looked around before speaking quietly.

“Junior Brother, that Flame Mystic is top-grade!”

Xu Qing was puzzled. This was the first time he had heard the captain describe someone as top-grade. This was especially so for the way Eldest Senior Brother licked his lips… It was thought-provoking.

Upon seeing Xu Qing’s expression, the captain’s desire to speak soared. He chuckled at Xu Qing, looking very wretched.

“Let me tell you, Little Qing. According to my experiences and understanding in my previous lives, Flame Mystic is an existence comparable to a treasure in the eyes of some cultivators with special hobbies.”

“This person can attack and endure. He can advance and retreat freely and has a myriad of changes. It’s impossible to guard against him.”

As he spoke, the captain even smacked his lips, giving off a feeling of drooling.

When he noticed the captain’s expression again, Xu Qing was really stunned this time around. Confusion rose in his eyes. Although he had experienced many things since he was young, at the end of the day, he was still young in some aspects.

Hence, he couldn’t react at all. Hence, Flame Mystic’s figure appeared in his mind. He recalled the other party’s aura during the confrontation earlier and searched for something special.

Noticing Xu Qing’s doubts, the captain blinked. He felt that this was fun and became even more arrogant.

He thought to himself that his junior brother’s current state was really innocent and pure. As the eldest senior brother, he couldn’t let his junior brother have any weaknesses in his understanding.

Hence, he patted Xu Qing’s shoulder and spoke in the tone of an elder.

“Junior Brother, you still have a lot to see.”

“Forget it, forget it. I’ll tell you directly. That Flame Mystic…”

The captain paused.

“He can be a man or a woman. It’s incomparably wondrous!”

With that, the captain licked his lips again.

His words were like thunder in Xu Qing’s ears.

Xu Qing’s eyes widened. Although there were countless bizarre things in the Wanggu Continent and it wasn’t too strange for the gender to change, what caused Xu Qing’s heart to stir was the captain’s expression and the words he used from the start to the end.

Xu Qing couldn’t help but make some associations. After that, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

“Eldest Senior Brother, how… did you discover it?”

When the captain heard this, he lifted his chin in disdain.

“That Little Swallow© doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to rush ahead of me to suppress my shanchi!”

“After I found it out, he had the guts to tell me to scram!”

“That expression, that tone, acting like he was high and mighty.”

The captain snorted coldly.

“Hence, I listened to his request and scrammed away. However, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. So, I took advantage of the time when he was suppressing shanchi cub and used all the God’s Law Tokens I created, attracting the parents, grandparents, and so on of the shanchi cub he was suppressing.”

“Hehe, Little Swallow was extremely miserable. Although his cultivation base and combat strength are extraordinary, comparable to the Soul Accumulation Realm, he didn’t have an easy time being surrounded and attacked by so many shanchis.”

“So guess what I saw?”

The captain rubbed his hands and was very excited. He didn’t wait for Xu Qing’s response and continued to speak.

”1 saw that at the critical moment, he actually used an extremely terrifying divine ability. To a certain extent, it was no longer a divine ability but a divine technique!”

“And it’s the kind of incredibly powerful divine technique, like divine condemnation!”

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.

The more the captain spoke, the more excited he became.

“There is a side effect to this technique, but it might not be a side effect to Little Swallow. In short, after using this technique, his gender will change for a short period of time!”

“Let me tell you, Little Qing, I saw with my own eyes that every time he used it, he turned into a woman. One moment, he was a man, the next moment, he was a woman, and the next moment, he was a man. It’s very fun.”

Looking at the captain’s excited expression, Xu Qing’s expression became strange.

At that moment, the captain didn’t care about Xu Qing. He was already in an excited state as he continued to speak.

“Every time the side effects appear and his gender changes, a bead will form beside him. It will surround his body and absorb the converted aura in his body, causing the side effects of his divine technique to dissipate and he will return from a woman to a man.”

“I understood at a glance that that was his life pearl. It’s extremely important to him.”

“And you also know that I, your Eldest Senior Brother, am a kind and helpful person. I’m selfless and can’t bear to see others sad.”

“So, how can I bear to see him transform so much? After all, the transformation of the gender is related to the many changes in the meridians in the body and the characteristics outside the body. Just thinking about it is very painful.”

“So… when he turned into a woman, I snatched that pearl away…”

“This way, he won’t be able to transform. It can be considered a relief for him.”

As he spoke, the captain raised his hand and a red pearl floated out of his palm. It emitted a dazzling light but it was also covered by a blue light barrier, preventing its energy from spreading out.

“How is it?”

The captain looked at Xu Qing proudly.

“So, don’t think that Little Swallow’s appearance didn’t change much previously, inside, there is actually a girl. She, you see, can’t change back anymore. When I left, I even kindly left her a piece of Nether Fairy’s flowery undergarment.”

Xu Qing was shocked and stared blankly at the captain. He recalled the extreme anger and killing intent emitted by Flame Mystic when he was searching for the captain earlier.

Now, he understood the reason.

“No wonder…”

Xu Qing sighed.

The captain laughed and kept the pearl. He stood up and stretched, feeling satisfied.

He felt that his trip to the Mountains and Seas Region this time around was very exciting and his harvest was also full. However, when he thought of Xu Qing’s Jiuli, he hesitated for a moment.

In the end, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked.

Xu Qing told him the truth.

After hearing Xu Qing tell him the whole story, the captain’s eyes widened. He was stunned for a long time before he stomped his feet fiercely.

“Swallow wasted my time!”

“I should have joined in on this kind of thing too. What a missed opportunity!!”

Xu Qing didn’t speak.

The captain let out a long sigh and sat down again. A contemplative expression appeared on his face. After a long time, his eyes lit up and he mumbled.

“Although I missed this opportunity, this matter also confirms one of my previous guesses. It provides strong evidence of what we’re going to do next!”

After saying that, the captain looked at Xu Qing. His eyes were bright and filled with madness.

“Junior Brother, during the opening of the Divine Realm this time, I originally only had 10% confidence in what I was going to do.”

“But now that I’ve heard you say this, my confidence is even greater!”

“This time, I’ll bring you to do something… a super big thing that surpasses everything we did before!!”

Xu Qing became instantly wary. The phrase ‘do something big’ was always a red flag for him, as every time the captain said it, it meant they would be dangerously close to death.

Moreover, the degree of madness was getting more and more astonishing.

Going back, it started from the flesh of Binding, the statue of the Sea Corpse Race, the theft of Nether Fairy’s treasured clothes, the Heavenly Dao son, the Green Sand Desert, and the slaughter of Crimson Goddess. It was getting more and more exaggerated.

Now, the captain actually said the word ‘super’.

Xu Qing’s vigilance instantly reached its peak. He looked at the captain and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Eldest Senior Brother, let’s… not court death…”

The captain smiled mysteriously.

“Don’t worry, I’ve been planning this for a very, very long time. With your words to verify my guess, it’s absolutely safe this time.”

The captain patted his chest hard.

Upon hearing the captain’s words, all the hairs on Xu Qing’s body stood up and his mind churned. He had a feeling that the captain might really do something unprecedentedly terrifying this time around.

Just as he was about to say something, the captain’s body swayed and he disappeared from the residence. His remaining words echoed in Xu Qing’s ears.

“Junior Brother, don’t worry. I’ll go out for a while and make the final preparations for our major event.”

In the house, Xu Qing fell silent. After a long time, determination appeared in his eyes.

According to his understanding of the captain and some premonitions that rose in his heart at this moment, he decided that after entering the Divine Realm this time, his goal was only to collect the Heavenly Dao and obtain the marks.

As for the captain’s big matter, he definitely wouldn’t participate.

After all, he didn’t think he had the hobby of risking his life.

At the thought of this, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes to meditate, nurturing his fifth magus repository. While maintaining his peak state, he also increased the absorption of the 95 divine tablets in the repository.

Just like that, time flowed by.

Six days passed and the time was almost up.

There was about fifteen minutes left before the Grand Hunt’s Divine Realm opened. When Xu Qing got up and was about to leave his residence, the captain returned.

The first thing he did when he returned was to take out a bottle before Xu Qing could speak. After that, his body collapsed in front of Xu Qing, transforming into blue worms that burrowed into the bottle…

“Junior Brother, put me in your storage bag and we’ll set off.”

Almost at the instant the captain’s voice rang out from the bottle, a shocking energy fluctuation spread out from the Divine Mountain, sweeping in all directions. Amidst the rumbling sounds, three terrifying divine senses had already covered the large region.

The gods’ aura enveloped everything.

All life forms below the level of a god trembled intensely at this instant. A cold divine voice echoed through the world.

“The Divine Realm is about to open. All children, step forward.”

Xu Qing grabbed the bottle the captain was in and kept it in his storage bag. After that, his body swayed and he disappeared from the house.

The moment he appeared in mid-air, he saw three earth-shattering and vast figures standing on the Divine Mountain in the distance.

Sun Flame, Moon Flame, and Star Flame.

The three gods acted together!
