788 Where the Human Hearts Belong, Only Dao and Righteousness

Those who broke through to the sky had to bear its weight.

This weight was so huge that it could destroy their body and soul.

However, if they could endure it, it would be akin to a rebirth through nirvana.

A nirvana cultivator should soar through the nine heavens, becoming the sole focus of the world.

At this moment, Xu Qing, who had returned after treading through the thorns, was a nirvana cultivator.

After experiencing all the calamities before, the figure reflected in the eyes of the people in the capital city was like the most resplendent light in the world.

This brilliance, towering thousands of feet high, ignited the emotions of the people in the capital and ignited the suppressed hearts of the citizens of Fenghai County, which had endured continuous hardships.

The world boiled over and everyone cheered for him.

The sound waves churned and the wind blew.

Everyone in Fenghai County had suffered a lot this past year.

The fall of the former county governor cast a shadow over the hearts of the people, and the sudden onset of war, coupled with the demise of the Palace Master, was like a thunderclap that descended amidst this shadow, tearing through Fenghai County. Among all those who survived, it left behind profound wounds.

The end of the war caused the unstable Fenghai County to recover a little. However, the change in the Deputy Governor made people feel despair.

Everyone was extremely anxious. They were at a loss, bitter, and helpless. They needed someone to appear and change everything. They needed someone to lead them and break through everything.

They had once thought that this person was the Palace Master, but the Palace Master had died in battle.

They had once thought that it was the Seventh Prince or the Deputy Governor…

However, today, they felt that this person was Xu Qing!

At that moment, the sky changed color and there were endless auspicious signs. The cheers on the ground were endless and the sound waves rumbled in all directions. Regardless of whether it was men, women, old or young, mortals or cultivators, in their eyes and hearts, there was only Xu Qing’s figure.

Right now, the gazes of all beings in Fenghai County’s capital were gathered on Xu Qing.

The golden dragon roared and Qingqin let out a cry. Fortune from every human, from the sky, and from the ground continued to gather, causing the crown halo on Xu Qing’s head to become even more dazzling.

Amidst the cheers, someone shouted the words ‘county governor’!

Very soon, this form of address was acknowledged. Many voices shouted out one after another.

“County governor!”

“County governor!”

When the atmosphere in the entire city was extremely enthusiastic, the great elder of the Wood Spirit Race, who was escorting Xu Qing back, stopped a thousand feet away from the capital city.

Xu Qing, who was on his shoulder, watched all of this and great waves rose in his heart.

After all, he was only 20 years old. Even though he had learned a lot from his master and captain, at this moment, he was unable to calm his emotions. He had never thought of becoming the county governor.

Before this, he didn’t have this thought at all.

He had merely followed his heart.

Hence, he stood outside the city and fell silent for a few breaths.

A sense of confusion rose in his heart.

When the cries in the county capital grew louder and louder, Xu Qing took a deep breath and suppressed the waves in his heart as he walked forward step by step.

After stepping into the city, he headed straight for the platform.

Wherever he passed, mortals and cultivators alike would bow to him.

The crown on his head became increasingly eye-catching.

This lasted until Xu Qing arrived at the square.

The instant he arrived, the eyes of the hundreds of thousands of cultivators from the three palaces revealed an intense glint. They cupped their fists and bowed to Xu Qing!

No one asked them to do this, but after witnessing everything with their own eyes, they instinctively wanted to do so.

For their respective Palace Masters, for solving the death of the former county governor, for resolving the calamity that befell Fenghai County, for stepping out alone—any of these reasons was enough to make them willingly and sincerely bow in reverence.
