Chapter 1175: This Illusion Contains Truth

Life, no door.

Death, no road.

Departure, no method.

Arrival, no technique.

This is the God of Pain at this moment.

He was frozen in the ice coffin, sealed in the years by the time-space hourglass, and netted by the entire Heaven-Beyond-Heaven with karma.

Stuck between returning and leaving, becoming a special spirit stone that constantly emanated source essence.

Only able to be immersed in the pain of flesh burning, immersed in the reincarnation of soul tearing, immersed in the torture of divine grid and even source essence being slowly absorbed.

In the starry sky, Xu Qing gazed at the ice coffin in front of him, his eyes cold.

His anger had gradually subsided at this moment; for Him, the current result of this True God was already the best torture.

Since He liked pain, then go and taste it personally.

"It's a pity I don't have the divine power of Yu Liuchen to tell stories..."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart.

If he could possess Yu Liuchen's divine power, then he could apply it now, fabricating one painful story after another for this True God, letting Him sink into the stories while frozen, experiencing more spiritual torture.

In this way, not only could this True God be more painful, but he could also borrow those stories to make the source essence He emanated more and thicker.

"Not in a hurry, though."

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, his body took a step, and he sat cross-legged on this ice coffin, his eyes slowly closing, inhaling and exhaling through his nose, and all the pores on his body also opened.

To absorb the source essence emanating from the ice coffin.

This source essence was not only thick but also pure, and as Xu Qing inhaled and exhaled, it merged along his whole body.

And then it merged with his Immortal Embryo in his body, forming nourishment.

The next instant, Xu Qing's Immortal Embryo shone with soft light, lighting up this pitch-black Heaven-Beyond-Heaven, making the countless universes, countless star systems, and countless stars of this Heaven-Beyond-Heaven no longer as pitch-black as before.

Gradually recovering.

And Xu Qing's Immortal Embryo, in the waves of this light, gradually grew, and the Xiangong-turned-Immortal Foundation within it was also the same.

Just like that, time passed.

Soon a month passed.

Xu Qing opened his eyes.

A dark glint shone in his eyes, and after a long while, he lowered his head, looking at the ice coffin he was sitting on that was floating in the starry sky.

This ice coffin emanated extremely thick source essence at the beginning, but gradually it still decreased, from surging and magnificent to a trickling stream.

This was also normal.

The efficacy of this kind of divine source stone created was more about long-term existence and endless supply.

Not an explosive burst.

So absorbing it gradually was the best method for Xu Qing now.

And this month of inhalation and exhalation also brought him no small improvement. His Immortal Embryo became more solid, and whether it was pressure or aura, it surpassed the past.

Especially with the Xiangong as the Immortal Foundation, the blessing it brought, combined with the identity of the Lord of the Heaven-Beyond-Heaven, made Xu Qing's aura at this moment get closer and closer to an immortal.

In terms of realm, he was not far from the peak of the early stage of Quasi-Immortal.

This cultivation speed, placed outside, was enough to make people envious; it was already incomparably rapid.

After all, the process of the Quasi-Immortal realm, where the Immortal Embryo turns into an immortal, required a terrifying amount of source essence.

And an immortal... was one of the signs of the Lower Immortal realm!

However, Xu Qing still felt it was slow.

"If there could be more such True God source stones..."

Xu Qing licked his lips, stood up from the ice coffin, and when looking into the distance, he recalled the illusion he had sunk into before.

"That illusion, looking at it now, is still somewhat weird..."

Xu Qing's eyes flickered with dark light.

He remembered that in the illusion, he had been in seclusion here for ten years, his cultivation had reached the peak of Quasi-Immortal, and although there weren't many details in his memory, Xu Qing still remembered the feeling of that peak of Quasi-Immortal.

Especially...

"If I really chose to be in seclusion here for ten years, according to the amount of source essence emanating from this ice coffin, whether my cultivation could be raised to the peak of Quasi-Immortal is a question, but reaching the late stage should be possible."

"So this illusion itself also contains logic, and isn't groundless..."

After this thought emerged, a haze couldn't help but rise in Xu Qing's heart.

He instinctively didn't want to take this path, didn't want to choose to stay here for seclusion.

On one hand, he didn't want to be consistent with the illusion; on the other hand, he felt that cultivating like this, the speed of cultivation was still too slow.

There was another reason, and that was Xu Qing knew very well that to break through the Quasi-Immortal realm and step into the Lower Immortal, it wasn't just needing source essence to let the Immortal Embryo turn into an immortal.

He also needed his Constitution to reach a higher level!

"That is my Tenth Extreme!"

Regarding the Tenth Extreme, Xu Qing still had no direction, even in the illusion, he hadn't explored it...

Xu Qing pondered, raised his hand to suppress the ice coffin in the black hole of the Heaven-Beyond-Heaven, used the suction of the black hole to absorb source essence at all times, and stored it.

Afterward, with thoughts, he was about to leave this heaven.

But just as his footsteps were raised and about to fall, Xu Qing suddenly paused.

A strange glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"No!"

"The me in the illusion seemed to have explored the Tenth Extreme, because the cultivation I displayed when returning to the Wanggu Continent in the illusion seemed... not to be Quasi-Immortal."

"As for the specifics, I have no details."

Xu Qing frowned, and his doubts about the previous illusion deepened.

But lacking effective information, Xu Qing could only suppress all doubts again, his footsteps fell, and he walked out of the Blue Heaven.

At the same time, outside the Blue Heaven, those hidden immortal thoughts also dispersed at this moment. Before leaving, each had a look with different meanings, gazing at Xu Qing who walked out of the Blue Heaven.

They remembered Xu Qing.

And they couldn't help but remember.

The Lord of the Aurora Heaven-Beyond-Heaven, with Quasi-Immortal cultivation but combat power close to an immortal, and even suppressed a True God in the process of returning.

This brilliant battle record was enough to make everyone look at him with respect.

Afterward, they left one by one.

And in the Jiuan Heaven-Beyond-Heaven, in the Xiangong, the figure on the highest Immortal Tower also nodded slightly at this moment.

"Since you were able to grasp this opportunity... and also completed the procurement mission, then..."

"Staying in the star ring no longer has much meaning."

"Pass the decree to the Procurement Division, let this squad of ascenders join the transport team, and together with other squads, personally send the procured supplies to the battlefield."

"No need to return, head to the Star Ring God-Sealing Array immediately."

As soon as the Jiuan Immortal Lord's words came out, the high tower shook slightly, and then the decree from him spread throughout the entire Jiuan Heaven, and the Poison Monarch in the Procurement Division was meditating.

In an instant, his eyes opened suddenly, and he instantly sensed the decree from the Jiuan Immortal Lord.

His expression changed slightly.

Looking into the distance, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed lightly.

"Don't know if this child is lucky, or unlucky..."

The Poison Monarch shook his head, although he was unwilling in his heart, facing the Jiuan Immortal Lord's decree, he naturally didn't dare not to obey.

He could only sigh and arrange the matter.

At the same time, Xu Qing's figure left the Blue Heaven, and when he appeared, he was already in the No-Heaven Zone where the statue prison he had left before was located.

The loss of the statue and the disappearance of the prison meant that the jailers and wardens, as well as Xing Huanzi and others, had already left.

Although as time passed for a month, most of them had settled down in their hearts. After all, the matter of a True God returning, after being exposed like this, couldn't possibly continue for a month.

But seeing Xu Qing, they still felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

Especially seeing that Xu Qing's aura was clearly stronger than before, Zhou Zhengli immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Congratulations, my lord, for suppressing the True God, your merit is immeasurable!"

Hearing this, everyone went to bow.

In their hearts, they also had waves.

They had seen with their own eyes Xu Qing promote to Quasi-Immortal, perceived that vast Immortal Embryo, and become the Lord of the Heaven-Beyond-Heaven.

And felt the power close to a Lower Immortal.

And witnessed Xu Qing teleporting the True God alone, and now returning safely.

This kind of feeling of watching the other party grow rapidly step by step until reaching a considerable height, how could it not make these heaven's pride experts have thousands of thoughts in their hearts.

Especially Xing Huanzi, he looked at Xu Qing silently, sighing in his heart.

The gap was getting bigger and bigger.

But this thought didn't exist for too long before it turned into his motivation.

As for Xu Qing, looking at the people in front of him, especially seeing that the jailers and wardens were still there, his heart also calmed down.

Ultimately, it was different from the illusion.

In the illusion, when he walked out, the jailers and wardens were not there.

But this thought had just appeared in Xu Qing's mind, and before Xu Qing could respond to everyone's bowing.

The next instant...

All the ascenders' identity tokens vibrated, and the decree from the Procurement Division of the Jiuan Heaven-Beyond-Heaven echoed in the hearts of all the ascenders suddenly.

"The war outside the star ring has changed, source essence is urgently needed. Now order all procurement teams to transport on their own, send the procured source essence to the front line immediately, and do not delay!"

The sound of this decree carried majesty, making all the ascenders' expressions change.

"Transport on our own, head to the battlefield?"

Qianjun Piyi trembled all over. These two brothers had a storm in their hearts.

Yuanshan Su frowned, Li Mengtu's expression changed, and Xie Lingzi's pupils contracted.

Other cultivators all had different degrees of change in their expressions.

It was because the battlefield, for all of them, was thought to be far away.

But didn't expect, at this moment... it was so close!

Especially, with their cultivation, placed on the battlefield, it was like a drop in the ocean. Life and death could be reversed at any moment, catastrophe could come at any time, and the enemies they faced were not fixed in cultivation.

Might encounter divine fire, might encounter divine platform, and might also encounter a sudden True God!

And according to what everyone knew before, the war with the Fourth Star Ring was a comprehensive war between Divine Masters and Immortal Lords.

That was a war of gods and immortals, a war of camps, and even more a war of extermination!

Zhou Zhengli looked solemn and looked at Xu Qing.

Xing Huanzi's heart also sank, his gaze falling on Xu Qing.

Other cultivators were all the same.

And Xu Qing, who was the focus of everyone's gaze, was a bit dazed at this moment.

He thought of the illusion shown by that True God again.

In the illusion, he also went to the battlefield!

But the difference was that in the illusion, going to the battlefield was ten years later.

And now, it was now.

Ten years early.

"That True God's illusion, what exactly caused it?"

"Is it a coincidence..."

Xu Qing's eyes were gloomy. ===== CHAPTER 1178 =====
