Chapter 1163

Xu Qing didn't believe his own excuse of investigation could truly find the Nine-Colored Ice required by the Nine Shores Immortal Lord within this Hun Tian universe.

If everything were really this simple, then the task of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord would be far too childish.

Moreover, if such a thing truly existed here, Xu Qing would first have to overturn all his various judgments of the Poison Lord.

Therefore, no matter how he considered it, the possibility of Nine-Colored Ice existing here was almost nonexistent.

Thinking this, Xu Qing furrowed his brows, his inner thoughts surging as he put away the Heavenly Principle he had been playing with in his hand, but he did not immediately step into the Hun Tian tribe's territory to investigate.

Instead, he turned his head to look at the Hun Tian Emperor kneeling nearby.

This Hun Tian Emperor, at this moment, also had his eyes wide open, his expression showing disbelief, his body trembling.

He was extremely clear that if this matter could not be explained clearly, then what awaited his tribe would inevitably be utter catastrophe, and any excuse could doom his tribe to eternal ruin.

After all, this concerns the Immortal Lord…..

So even before his superior, he would certainly not dare to utter a sound.

Thinking this, seeing Xu Qing's gaze sweep over, the Hun Tian Emperor hurriedly shouted.

"My lord, this is a misunderstanding!!"

"I know what that Daoist friend said, and it is absolutely not the Nine-Colored Ice required by the Nine Shores Immortal Lord; it is an old object from the Extreme Light Immortal Palace, something my tribe spent a great cost to fish out from the void in order to commemorate the Extreme Light Immortal Palace!!"

"However, this coffin is an ice coffin, though also nine-colored, it is absolutely not the same thing."

The Hun Tian Emperor, anxious in his heart, dared not conceal anything and immediately reported.

Hearing this, Xu Qing's face remained expressionless as he spoke lightly.

"Whether it is or not, I will know after I look; now, the Hun Tian tribe, from the Emperor downward, hand over your soul blood!"

If you resist, kill without mercy!

Xu Qing's eyes turned cold.

The place of Xing Huanzi also had a sharp aura emanating from his body, as did the seaweed and the mud fox nearby.

The Hun Tian Emperor hesitated, but he was also a decisive sort, knowing that at this moment he could not cause further misunderstanding, and the other party's behavior did not seem aimed at easily exterminating his entire tribe.

More like a kind of caution.

Worrying about unexpected events after entering the tribe's territory.

Thus the Hun Tian Emperor gritted his teeth, pressed his hand to his brow, took out his soul blood and handed it over, then signaled the tribespeople to follow this order.

At the same time, the bitterness in his heart grew stronger.

And all the Hun Tian tribespeople, one by one, in silence, handed over their soul blood.

These soul blood gathered together, falling before Xu Qing, who raised his right hand and waved, sending the blood flying toward the mud fox.

"You stay outside; if there is the slightest abnormality here, all Hun Tian tribespeople shall be exterminated!"

After the mud fox solemnly nodded, it took back the soul blood, its divine might continuing to spread, enveloping all the Hun Tian tribespeople. Xu Qing still felt it was not secure, so he glanced at the seaweed.

Xu Qing also did not fully trust the seaweed; at this moment he narrowed his eyes, suddenly sending out divine thought, ordering the seaweed to act, sealing the Hun Tian Emperor, then entering the Hun Tian tribe together with him. Search books, collect elegance pavilion.

The seaweed nearby hesitated a little, but still chose to spread its leaves, forming a seal, heading straight for the Hun Tian Emperor.

The Hun Tian Emperor dared not resist, submitting to the seal.

Having done these, Xu Qing's eyes deepened, no longer hesitating, leading the seaweed and the sealed Hun Tian Emperor straight toward the entrance of the Hun Tian tribe. In an instant, Xing Huanzi went ahead, Xu Qing behind, disappearing at the entrance.

The Hun Tian imperial tribe's territory is a hidden star system.

Standing at the highest point, one can see countless stars within, flashing irregularly.

And among these points of light, one gave Xu Qing a strange feeling; thus he focused, spread his divine thought, and under this divine thought, unfolded this star system, expanding it outward.

In an instant, the star system enlarged in Xu Qing's eyes.

And then continued.

Constantly enlarging, enlarging, enlarging again. Finally, when expanded to a certain degree, after passing through countless stars, Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. He saw that at the true center of this star system, where he had previously looked, there sat cross-legged five vast figures.

These five figures were all of the Hun Tian tribe.

They were gigantic in height, their bodies multicolored, their faces multifaceted, and all withered.

They were corpses.

Corpses of divine spirits!

To be precise, they were the corpses of divine spirits of the Hun Tian tribe.

And at the center of these five corpses was a star.

Completely frozen in ice.

On this star, there was no life at all, only a coffin!

A coffin made of ice!

And at this moment, in the starry sky of this region, many ascended beings were all around, each with eyes shining with strange light, all observing.

And at this moment, in the starry sky of this region, many ascended beings were scattered around, each with eyes gleaming with strange light, all observing.

No reckless movement.

"The arrangement there is somewhat strange."

Xing Huanzi saw Xu Qing's attention already placed there, and thus spoke in a low voice.

Xu Qing contemplated these things, as if thinking deeply.

Nearby, the Hun Tian Emperor hurriedly transmitted a sound.

"My lord, those five corpses, though they were once gods of my tribe, since my tribe submitted, my tribe has also borne the mission of suppressing them with bloodline."

"For countless years, it has always been so, and we have never moved them."

"Placing them in the coffin is also to make this suppression more severe, after all… once they revive, for my tribe today, it would be impossible to gain their approval; they would certainly first devour all the flesh and blood of our tribesmen."

The Hun Tian Emperor feared being misunderstood and spoke urgently.

Xing Huanzi heard this, glanced at the Hun Tian Emperor, and said he had heard of similar matters; the Fifth Star Ring had once made many tribes suppress their ancestral divine spirits.

【61】 "Interesting, you say your tribe has never moved them?"

Xu Qing spoke calmly.

As his words were spoken, the Heart of the Heavenly Emperor trembled instantly.

"My lord means……"

He asked cautiously.

The Star Ring Child beside him also looked toward Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's eyes flashed with strange light, and then he also realized the reason.

For cultivators of the Fifth Star Ring, since the deities were suppressed, the Star Ring lacked heterogeneity, immortal spirit qi permeated, and all clans no longer cultivated deities.

Therefore, such a scene, the old man knew, but for cultivators of the new generation, having never seen it, they could not recognize it at first glance, which is also normal.

But Xu Qing was different.

Coming from the Ninth Star Ring, his dwelling in the Eastern Wanggu Continent, deities ran rampant, the vast majority of clans worshipped deities, and becoming a deity, he had experienced several times.

Whether it was the divine son, or the empress, or even within the Ghost Cave……

Xu Qing had felt similar sensations.

Therefore, at this moment he immediately saw through the arrangement here.

This is clearly, the ritual of becoming a deity!

But this ritual, to Xu Qing, felt flawed and not grand.

"This has been concealed."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, suddenly raised his hand, and his immortal embryo instantly shone, emitting a silver light.

Silver, is the color of immortals.

Source essence exhaled and inhaled by deities can emit sacred golden light, which is why the deities Xu Qing saw were all shrouded in golden light.

And when cultivators absorb source essence, they emit silver.

At this moment, this thread of silver immortal light flowed in Xu Qing's hand; with a flick, it shot straight toward the lower star system, merging with a thread of starlight, causing that starlight to also turn silver.

Then, silver spread……

Not over the entire range, but only rendering the starlight within this star system; gradually, as thread after thread of starlight turned silver, looking from this supreme position, a dense silver net covered the entire star system.

And as Xu Qing raised his hand to adjust, the silver net's light fluctuated in brightness and darkness, finally appearing before everyone's eyes as, indeed, a formation.

This formation, about the size of the star system, connected every star, enveloping the five deity corpses within, and combined with the ice coffins inside, formed an internal-external opposing force.

Thus, a large amount of source essence was gathered.

Seeing this, the Heavenly Emperor's face instantly turned pale.

The Star Ring Child also changed expression.

And Xu Qing's voice also echoed at this moment.

"Here, originally, it should have been the suppression you spoke of."

"But based on this, a large-scale arrangement was made, turning it into the ritual of becoming a deity."

"However, it was clearly also adjusted, making the act of becoming a deity unable to succeed."

"Heavenly Emperor, in this place, what is your explanation?"

Xu Qing turned his head, looking at the Heavenly Emperor whose face was even paler.

The Heavenly Emperor's body trembled, and he knelt down in worship.

"My lord, my clan would never dare let clansmen become deities; the arrangement here is to make the clansmen's blood……become purer."

This time, the Heavenly Emperor dared not conceal anything at all, for he never imagined such secrecy, and that the deity ritual long hidden in the Fifth Star Ring, would be so directly recognized.

"Not important."

Xu Qing raised his right hand and clenched it fiercely.

The sound of cracking instantly echoed in the starry sky.

The silver light on the formation burst, causing several key lines inside to break apart, so the ritual became deficient, and then its sound echoed.

"Star Ring Child, you may now step onto that star, take out the coffin, and arrange it afterward; at the moment of taking it out, let everyone prepare to absorb source essence.

Xu Qing's words spoken, the Star Ring Child nodded there and immediately flew off.

Xu Qing waited silently.

Not long after, under his gaze, that ice-sealed star suddenly trembled, and then dense source essence rose within it, spreading throughout this star system.

The ritual was completely extinguished.

Afterwards, the Star Ring Child and Zhou Zhengli returned together, behind them was the nine-colored ice coffin drawn here.

Seeing this, Xu Qing already knew what it was.

Outsiders do not know because this object is within the Aurora Immortal Palace and has not appeared in the mirrored history.

But Xu Qing once dwelled as the Aurora Young Master, and for this object, he has memory.

"This is the sleeping coffin crafted by the parents of the Aurora Young Master after his birth, to make his childhood an era where deities were enslaved!"

"Though it appears nine-colored ice, it should not be the same object as what the Nine Banks Immortal Lord needs."

Xu Qing raised his hand; this coffin flew to him, he carefully observed it, then stored it away.

Then, he turned and left.

Whether this place is for purifying bloodlines or not, it no longer matters.

The abundant source essence permeating here, Xu Qing does not need to collect it himself, with Zhou Zhengli present, Xu Qing believes that among the source essence gathered by all ascenders here, there must be his share.

And the amount will certainly not be small.

"The matter here is settled, the source essence task is also sufficient, then next……that true god, is the final feast of this banquet!"

Xu Qing took a step, walked out of the Heavenly Emperor's domain.
