491 Can’t Look Directly

Xu Qing felt that something was amiss.

Previously, he had looked at many places but even the existences in the depths of the forbidden zone couldn’t sense his gaze. After all, he had fused with the Taboo magic treasure, the ancient bronze mirror.

Rather than saying that he was watching, it was more accurate to say that the ancient bronze mirror was watching.

A Taboo could become the foundation of a large sect, so they naturally had their own terrifying and powerful aspects. Even the bizarre ent.i.ties in the forbidden zone could not sense that they were being gazed at, let alone others.

Xu Qing had looked around but didn’t see anyone who sensed anything amiss.

Only Huang Yan.

At that moment, Huang Yan looked at the sky.

After blinking, he coughed and put on a look as though he was looking at the scenery. He lowered his head in a way he thought was very natural and continued to ma.s.sage Second Senior Sister’s legs.

However, in Xu Qing’s opinion, his movements were filled with flaws.

Xu Qing silently retracted his gaze and didn’t take another look. However, at this moment, he was very clear that Huang Yan had a secret.

Xu Qing couldn’t tell what the secret was, nor did he want to probe further.

After all, many people in this world had their own secrets. Huang Yan had them, the captain had them, his master had them, and he had them too.

Why should he dig deeper? It was fine as long as he knew that they would not harm him.

Xu Qing calmed his emotions and s.h.i.+fted his gaze away, looking in other directions, including the Corpse Forbidden near the Sea Corpse Race.

The land of Corpse Forbidden was very special and was a little different from the Phoenix Forbidden.

Although they were both forbidden regions, one was on the sh.o.r.e and the other was at the bottom of the sea.

The Corpse Forbidden was enveloped by a dense black fog. The range was very large and it was impossible to tell if there were lands inside. However, the anomalous substances there were incomparably dense.

Under the influence of the Corpse Forbidden, undead would occasionally appear on the surrounding sea. All kinds of bizarre events often happened.

Usually, the boats and s.h.i.+ps wouldn’t get close to the Corpse Forbidden. At most, they would just travel to the location of the Sea Corpse Race.

Xu Qing didn’t look at the core of the seabed of the Corpse Forbidden, nor did he look into the depths of the black fog. He only swept his gaze across the edge before looking at the w.a.n.ggu Continent.

He didn’t gaze at any large faction.

He understood that he couldn’t look at these places. Once he did, he might be discovered and cause some unnecessary calamity and suspicion.

He also knew why his master had reminded him. This was because he had a strong feeling that in his current state, if he saw an existence he shouldn’t have… he might even die suddenly.

For example, when his gaze swept past the Forbidden Sea just now, he sensed a terrifying fluctuation in an area in the deep sea.

He restrained his curiosity and even suppressed the urge to lift his head to look at the sun in the sky and the high and mighty fragmented-face of the G.o.d.

Finally, when he completely retracted his gaze, he suddenly wanted to take a look at himself.

“I wonder what it will be like if others use Taboo magic treasures to look at me.”

When Xu Qing thought of this, he tried to take a look.

At the next instant, he saw the Sea Corpse Race, the huge ancient bronze mirror floating on the Sea Corpse Race, and he also saw himself meditating cross-legged on the ancient mirror.

As the mirror rotated, his body remained cross-legged. No matter how the mirror tilted, it seemed to have frozen on it and didn’t move at all.

This feeling was very strange. It was different from looking in a mirror. It was as though his soul had flown up and was looking at his body in mid-air.

Xu Qing focused his attention and his gaze landed on his body.

The first thing he saw was an extremely delicate face that was as beautiful as a demon.

Xu Qing didn’t care about this. After he continued to size up his body, his body became a little more transparent under his gaze.

He saw the meridians in his body, all the s.h.i.+ning magic apertures, and his sea of consciousness.

There were also the three Heavenly Palaces in his sea of consciousness. Even though two of them existed in the life fog, he could still see them clearly.

Everything was clear. Even the Ghost Emperor Mountain was reflected in it, but the purple moon couldn’t be seen.

However, the place it was at looked like it had been occupied.

After comparing it with his sea of consciousness, it formed an outline.

From this shadow-like outline, outsiders could tell that there was something strange there.

There was also the Poison Restriction Pill in the third Heavenly Palace. It was blurry and couldn’t be seen clearly. Likewise, the area seemed to be occupied.

Only the shadow and the purple crystal couldn’t be seen at all. They didn’t even seem to occupy anything, as though they didn’t exist.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

He also saw the figure of the Golden Crow outside his body. It was surrounded by an invisible force. There was also an incomplete sword shadow in his sea of consciousness.

That was a portion of the Emperor Sword he had comprehended.

Looking at this, Xu Qing fell silent and tried to control his shadow to hide him.

He didn’t want to expose so much. Now, with the help of the vision of the ancient bronze mirror, Xu Qing began to adjust his body.

He first borrowed the power of the shadow to cover the two Heavenly Palaces in the life fog, completely hiding them in the life fog. He was only satisfied when he couldn’t see any clues through the ancient mirror.

After Xu Qing pondered, he used his shadow to spread out a curtain, covering his Ghost Emperor Mountain as well.

There was also the purple moon and the Poison Restriction Pill. Although these two couldn’t be seen, the feeling of them occupying his body was very clear.

Xu Qing thought about it and simply controlled his shadow to cover them all.

After doing this, he carefully checked again and confirmed that there were no mistakes before retracting his gaze. The next instant, Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bronze mirror, opened his eyes.

“So, this is a Taboo magic treasure.” Xu Qing mumbled.

He felt that his master was right. He needed to adapt to the operation of Taboo magic treasures. If he didn’t have such an experience and only had a shallow understanding, it would be very difficult for him to truly sense the strength and uniqueness of Taboo magic treasures.

“Although I don’t know what the specific effect of the Taboos in the Fenghai County’s capital is, even if they can’t see as clearly as the ancient mirror, it will be hard to hide under their divine sense.”

Xu Qing fell silent for a while before closing his eyes and continuing to comprehend the circulation of Taboo magic treasure.

Just like that, a month pa.s.sed.

During this month, Xu Qing sensed the abilities of the Taboo magic treasure every day. He also observed himself many times and continued to adjust. Only when he reached near perfection did he feel relieved.

The current him was very confident that after he entered the county capital, even if the divine sense of the artifact spirits of the Taboos in the county swept past him, he wouldn’t expose any secrets.

Everything they saw would be what he wanted to reveal.

There was also another gain. It was his familiarity with the divine sense perception of Taboo magic treasure. Right now, Xu Qing could instantly differentiate if the divine sense that gathered on his body came from humans or magic treasures.

In addition, he also understood why Taboo magic treasures would form anomalous substances every time they were used. The might of Taboo magic treasures was too great and they would absorb a huge amount of spirit energy when used.

The anomalous substances in the spirit energy would naturally acc.u.mulate in the Taboo magic treasures themselves. Moreover, it was extremely difficult to dissipate these anomalous substances. This would continue until the acc.u.mulation reached the limit and they became useless treasures.

As such, any large sects or forces wouldn’t overuse Taboo magic treasures. Only then could they continue using them.

This caused Taboo magic treasures to be mostly divided into two states: full activation and daily operation. When they were fully activated, their might would reach the greatest.

Such a situation was usually used to resist external enemies or attack.

Usually, the focus would be on daily operations.

However, even if only used for daily operations, there would still be a period of weakness. This time wasn’t fixed. According to the differences in each Taboo magic treasure, one had to be good at calculations to grasp it.

After understanding all of this, Xu Qing gained a deeper understanding of the job of a Treasure Bearer and looked at more and more places. However, he knew his limits and didn’t go too far.

Even so, it was inevitable that there would be some dangerous situations.

He had once looked at an endless ghost city in the sea. There were countless bizarre ent.i.ties there, as though it was a world of its own.

He had also seen a six-legged giant holding a large pitchfork in the depths of the sea. It emitted astonis.h.i.+ng divine fluctuations, and it seemed to be patrolling.

He also saw the Sea Lizard’s ancestor. Every scale on its astonis.h.i.+ng body contained terrifying might. As it swam, it emitted vast divine might.

There were also one eye after another growing at the bottom of the sea.

Most of the time, these eyes would be closed. However, the instant they opened, they would often form a huge vortex on the sea, stirring up earth-shattering waves.

The Forbidden Sea was filled with danger and the unknown.

Other than these living things, Xu Qing had also seen abyssal cracks.

Some existed at the bottom of the sea, and some existed in the forbidden zones of the Nanhuang Continent.

These abyssal cracks emitted pitch-black fog that was unfathomable. At the same time, mournful roars similar to the scene in the ghost cave rang out.

In fact, one night, Xu Qing even saw countless souls.

Those souls floated up from the direction of the Nanhuang Continent and lined up in the sky.

At the front of these souls was a figure with two horns holding a whip.

As this figure whipped them, the souls flew into a door that opened in the sky. What followed was chewing sounds.

Xu Qing only took a glance at that door before his mind rumbled and his body and soul were almost destroyed. His fusion state with the ancient bronze mirror was directly interrupted and he coughed out a lot of blood.

That time, he rested for five to six days before he fused with the ancient bronze mirror once more while feeling lingering fear.

Even though he was already careful enough, he saw a cl.u.s.ter of temples on a small island half a month later.

It wasn’t the Extreme Heaven Dao Temple but the temple where a G.o.d was wors.h.i.+ped. It was located on a remote island that was shrouded in fog.

Xu Qing only took a glance before his eyes stung and he didn’t dare to continue.

All this allowed him to understand this world better. At the same time, he also deeply understood his master’s reminder.

When becoming a Taboo magic treasure of this Taboo, it would be extremely dangerous if they didn’t restrain themselves.

Hence, in the following days, Xu Qing didn’t look at unknown places. Instead, he studied the operating patterns of the Taboo magic treasure. At the same time, he checked his surroundings in a small area.

It was only when there was still half a month before the time to set off for Fenghai County that Xu Qing’s expression changed slightly.

He saw Zhao Zhongheng and Ding Xiaohai.

At that moment, these two people were at the edge of the Corpse Forbidden. In the dense black fog, they used all their strength to control the magic s.h.i.+ps under them and escape.

Behind them, the fog churned intensely and a vortex formed on the surface of the sea. Countless withered hands appeared and grabbed at them.

In the fog, a large amount of black hair spread out, wanting to bind them.

They were in danger.
