Chapter 1154

This was a poisonous immortal fruit.

Xu Qing raised his head, looked at Poison Monarch, and after a long while, bowed, "Your subordinate obeys."

He wanted this poisonous fruit.

Poison Monarch heard this and was not surprised!

In his judgment, this Xu Qing before him was the same kind of person as himself.

In order to become stronger, to break through, and to walk higher, one could seek skin from a tiger.

For the other party, he was the tiger!

And for himself, the other party also had a tiger skin.

After all, that was the person the Immortal Venerable had said not to touch the cause and effect of!

"But that makes it more interesting!" Poison Monarch smiled and flicked his large sleeve, walking forward. His figure gradually became blurry, as if merging with heaven and earth, and finally vanished!

Only his voice echoed in the world!

"Xu Qing, take care of yourself!"

With his departure, heaven and earth returned to normal. A streak of golden starlight drifted from the sky, landing on Xu Qing and forming a traction, causing Xu Qing's body to ascend into the sky under this traction, to be sent out of this star where the Material Procurement Department was located!

Xu Qing did not reject it and let this starlight pull him. As he ascended, this star became smaller and smaller in his eyes, while his thoughts became larger and larger!

Although the immortal fruit was poisonous, its flesh was extremely delicious. The drawbacks and benefits were clear!

Moreover, Xu Qing did not think that if he did not eat this immortal fruit, the other party would really put away all evil intentions!

These evil intentions concerned his promotion, so the confrontations in the future would eventually still exist!

Therefore, rather than placing hope on the extremely slim possibility that the other party would give up, Xu Qing preferred to take the initiative to grasp it himself!

Especially since he knew very well that what he currently lacked was time and the materials needed for cultivation! He really needed this pretext to add to his own cultivation!

Since that was the case, rather than considering the future poisoning, it was better to eat it first and let his combat power increase faster!

It was just like when he had not yet cultivated, in the city where the Remnant Face opened its eyes, knowing that cultivation would accelerate the increase of alien substances, yet he still chose to cultivate!

In terms of mentality, it was exactly the same!

So to some extent, Poison Monarch's judgment was actually correct!

In this regard, they were indeed the same kind. As for the poisoning, it was not impossible to resolve.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. The stars in his eyes became smaller and smaller, and the entire Reception Universe gradually re-entered his eyes. Finally... when the full view of the entire Reception Universe appeared before his eyes, he had already left the Reception Universe under the traction of the starlight!

When he appeared, he was in the starry sky, outside the Reception Universe, and saw Star Ring Zi and the other cultivators!

They were waiting!

The moment he saw Xu Qing's figure, as the gazes gathered, Xu Qing's body paused in the starry sky. Afterward, he raised his hand and waved. Immediately, the ring Poison Monarch had given him opened before him, and the items belonging to the status and qualifications of a Material Procurement Envoy flew out one after another!

Those were gray jade slips!

Everyone took one, their divine senses integrated, and each of their bodies shone with light, transforming into the gray hundred-pocket robes!

Xu Qing here, also after his body became blurry, had the hundred-pocket robe belonging to him appear outside his body!

Thus, looking from afar, the eighty-nine of them were dressed uniformly, inexplicably possessing some external pressure!

Zhou Zhengli looked solemn, stepped forward, bowed to Xu Qing, and transmitted his divine sense!

"Greetings, Captain."

No matter what thoughts they had in their hearts, they all dissipated with this!

Yuanshan Su was the same, Qianjun Biyi hesitated, wanting to go and bow, but found that Star Ring Zi beside him did not move, and the two brothers also became arrogant.

Xu Qing swept his gaze over, did not care about this, but took out the mission jade slip and displayed it, letting it enter everyone's perception!

As the first mission of serving as a Material Procurement Envoy, they were arranged to go to a place called the Hun Tian Universe!

They were to go there to collect materials.

It was just that this Hun Tian Universe had some special features!

It was not in the Nine Shores Heaven; its location was another Heavens Beyond Heaven from the past! And it was not among the twelve Immortal Lords.

To be precise, that Heavens Beyond Heaven, due to the fall of its belonging Immortal Lord, had become a masterless heaven. As for the name of the Heavens Beyond Heaven, it had also been wiped away!

After seeing this scene from the mission jade slip, ripples rose in Xu Qing's heart! It was not just him here; among these ascenders, those like Star Ring Zi and other former stars also had strange expressions!

Because, in the entire Fifth Star Ring, the only place that met this condition was one... that was the former Aurora Heavens Beyond Heaven.

Thus, instinctively, Li Mengtu and Zhou Zhengli looked at Xu Qing. Even Qianjun Biyi, even Yuanshan Su, even Star Ring Zi... all looked at Xu Qing involuntarily.

It was truly because everything they had experienced in the Aurora Immortal Palace in history, as well as Xu Qing's identity as the Aurora Young Master, had left a deep impression on them!

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and continued to check the mission jade slip!

This jade slip also stated that to go to the Hun Tian Universe, one needed to hold the mission jade slip and go to the teleportation place to perform the designated teleportation!

And because that Heavens Beyond Heaven had lost its master, on one hand, it became a public place; on the other hand, the alien races within it, due to these historical legacies, also had some rebellious bones in their mentality and behavior.

After all, there was no direct heaven above their heads!

And with the intrusion of other Heavens Beyond Heaven, they naturally had divisions and existed behind their own respective forces!

Overall, compared to other Heavens Beyond Heaven, it was more like a place of grass-roots Jianghu, and the water was very deep!

Within its countless universes, there were many alien races and complex forces, and at the same time, the number of God prisons was also among the best in all Heavens Beyond Heaven!

After all, the Aurora Immortal Emperor of that year could be said to be the peak of combat power among all Immortal Lords!

As for this trip to the Hun Tian Universe, the jade slip also had an introduction. This universe was located at the edge of this Heavens Beyond Heaven, managed by the Hun Tian Imperial Clan, and contained thirty-one God prisons!

Among these thirty-one, the largest was the Jia-29 prison, where most of those imprisoned were at the Divine Platform realm!

As the information in the jade slip was fully perceived by everyone, Xu Qing put it away. After sweeping his gaze over the people before him, without a word, he moved his body and, according to the guidance of the jade slip, headed toward the nearest teleportation place!

Zhou Zhengli and Li Mengtu immediately followed behind.

The others also revealed strange glints and moved forward together!

Just like this, this group of them, mighty and majestic, transformed into eighty-nine long rainbows, galloping in the starry sky!

Their speed was extremely fast along the way, causing the cultivators they passed by to frown and avoid them, detouring away after noticing them.

Clearly, the Material Procurement Envoys were notorious, like jackals and wolves; if they could not provoke them, most were unwilling to come into contact!

Just like this, half a month later, within the Nine Shores Heaven, on a teleportation platform built from an ancient teleportation star, Xu Qing and the others landed one after another. As Xu Qing took out the mission jade slip, the teleportation platform echoed with a roaring sound!

The next instant, the power of the teleportation erupted, and the vast might formed circular ripples, spreading in all directions!

Everyone, including Xu Qing, vanished on this teleportation platform.

This teleportation took a full five days to end. When they reappeared, they were in an unfamiliar starry sky, on a crimson stone platform filled with cracks and full of ancient vicissitudes!

This stone platform emitted high temperatures and was cooling rapidly.

Clearly, the teleportation between Heavens Beyond Heaven also consumed a great deal for the teleportation array!

And this kind of unprecedented teleportation also had extremely high requirements for the cultivators themselves. If their cultivation was insufficient, they might even be destroyed in this teleportation, and their minds could not have defects, otherwise, they would be lost in that special state of teleportation, and their bodies and souls would be destroyed!

Thus, the moment they appeared, dozens of people spat out fresh blood and immediately sat cross-legged to rest!

There were others who were dazed, their souls seeming to be in ripples.

Even Xu Qing and Star Ring Zi felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, being able to become ascenders, they were all tempered along the way, and their cultivation and minds, placed in the outside world, were all geniuses among their peers!

So even the teleportation between Heavens Beyond Heaven had an impact on them, but gradually they all recovered, and one after another, they released their divine senses to observe their surroundings!

The starry sky here did not have much light; the starlight here was clearly dim, and the spiritual energy was also much thinner!

This was a barren place!

"This place is the Hun Tian Universe!" Xu Qing stood on the stone platform, looking into the distance, and then glanced at Zhou Zhengli.

Zhou Zhengli understood immediately, stepped forward, bowed to Xu Qing, and then spoke!

"Young Master, everyone already knows about this mission and the acquisition of Source Substance."

"I suggest that everyone scatter."

"No matter what the process is, when you return, just take out your own share."

"If you encounter obstacles during the period, pay with Source Substance as the price and seek help nearby!"

"Of course, if it still cannot be solved in the end, you will need the Young Master to take action, but to ask the Young Master to take action, the Source Substance must naturally be sufficient!"

"Young Master, what do you think?"

Xu Qing nodded. He was too lazy to coordinate and arrange, and at the same time, he understood that everyone needed Source Substance, so selfishness was unavoidable!

Since that was the case, it was better to plunder separately!

"I will be responsible for the Jia-29 prison; you can negotiate among yourselves for other places!"

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he moved his body and headed straight for the distant starry sky, leaving in an instant!

The Jia-29 he was going to was the largest God prison in this Hun Tian Universe!

And after he left, everyone looked at each other, transmitted their voices, some alone, some choosing to be in groups of three or five, and soon they scattered like locusts, rushing into different places!

At the same time, deep within this Hun Tian Universe, in a star system, floated an extremely luxurious and huge imperial palace!

The imperial palace was filled with singing and dancing!

A giant with a crimson body and double faces, front and back, was sitting on the imperial chair, leaning his head on one hand, immersed in it.

Soon, a jade slip flew rapidly outside the imperial palace, landing before the giant. With a "bang," it shattered itself, and a figure manifested within, prostrating and kneeling before the double-faced giant.

"King, a Material Procurement team from the Nine Shores Heaven Beyond Heaven has broken into our Hun Tian Universe."

The double-faced giant's expression remained as usual, still watching the singing and dancing below. After a long while, he spoke indifferently: "The old rules, arrange some Source Substance and let them find it. If these jackals are sensible, they will naturally leave after eating the bones!"

"If they are not sensible, then you can also let them know who the master of the Hun Tian Universe is!"
