Chapter 1183

The boundary between the front line and the central part of the left-wing war zone is a vast barrier shaped by endless great power.

This barrier shines with brilliant light, is boundless, and spans multiple star systems and multiple universes.

Thoroughly isolating the central part of the left-wing war zone from the front line.

And at this moment, in front of a certain position of this vast barrier, Xu Qing's hoarse voice echoed.

This voice was filled with fatigue, just like the eighteen people behind him who were struggling to suppress their injuries while hiding their weakness.

They stood there silently, letting the vast will radiating from within the barrier envelop them, sensing that this will was screening them, and also sensing that their identity tokens were responding.

Time passed slowly.

Looking from afar, compared to this vast barrier, their figures seemed insignificant.

Until half a day later, after confirming their identities through layers of checks, the will enveloping them slowly dissipated. The next instant, the barrier in front of them rippled, revealing a gap and forming a path.

Vaguely, one could see that behind the gap, there seemed to be over a hundred blurry figures of cultivators, all gazing at them.

Their expressions seemed somewhat strange.

Xu Qing was not too surprised by this kind of expression, and he could guess the general reason.

"Perhaps, we are the only ones who have arrived."

With such thoughts, Xu Qing did not hesitate. The moment the gap opened, he flew in first, and Zhou Zhengli and the others behind him did the same.

With Xu Qing as the leader, they approached the gap, and finally, after getting close, they entered within.

Afterward, the gap disappeared, the barrier recovered, the light remained brilliant, and the isolating power did not decrease in the slightest.

Inside the barrier, the starlight was soft, and the Immortal Spirit aura was rich.

As Xu Qing and his group walked in, the hundred-plus cultivators waiting here had their figures become clear from the blur, and the expressions on their faces were even more so.

The strangeness in those gazes, and the oddness revealed in their expressions, intertwined, giving Xu Qing and the others the feeling that they had become some kind of rare object.

Thus, Xu Qing's inner guess became even stronger. At this moment, he looked at the hundred-plus cultivators and spoke in a low voice.

"I wonder how we should hand over the collected source quality?"

As his voice spread, among the hundred-plus cultivators, a middle-aged cultivator wearing black armor walked out. His gaze swept over Xu Qing and the others, finally looking at Xu Qing.

"The Commander has an order to summon you all."

"For this journey, my squad will escort you."

Once these words were spoken, Xu Qing's mind stirred. Before coming here, he had some understanding of the various departments and divisions of the cultivator side on the battlefield.

He knew that on the battlefield, the Zhanlu Immortal Lord was above everything, leading the war's trend, and under him were three Great Sima, holding the rank of commander, respectively in charge of the left, middle, and right war zones.

And within these three war zones, they were divided into several commanders.

Every commander was in charge of a part of the area belonging to their war zone.

Like here on the front line of the left-wing war zone, the person with the highest status in this area was the Commander.

At this moment, their arrival was actually being hosted by the Commander.

This made Xu Qing even more certain of his inner judgment.

Thus, Xing Huanzi and the others immediately looked at each other. Zhou Zhengli there forcibly cheered up, thinking rapidly in his heart.

Finally, looking at each other, Xu Qing spoke in a low voice.

"Obey the Commander's order!"

The middle-aged cultivator nodded slightly upon hearing this, then thought for a moment, signaled the cultivators beside him to take some healing elixirs and send them to Xu Qing, before ordering his squad to turn into long rainbows and lead the way.

Xu Qing and his group took the elixirs, thanked them, and flew out one after another.

Just like that, escorted by this group of cultivators, Xu Qing and the others roared toward the place where the Commander was located in this left-wing front-line war zone.

During this period, they experienced multiple universes and also needed to teleport. What they saw along the way also unfolded the front-line war zone before Xu Qing and the others like a scroll.

Along the way, one could see stars being moved over, like military camps and tents, so numerous and dense.

There were even some that were crossing, and wherever they passed, the void swirled, and the traction was so great that it changed the starlight, which was extremely spectacular.

The life fire rising inside was incomparably thick and also contained an aura that made Xu Qing and the others feel alarmed.

There were even terrifying, tall Dharma images striding forward in the starry sky, carrying Dao banners, radiating terrifying pressure, and executing their assigned tasks.

At the same time, Xu Qing also saw suns.

Each one had a giant face growing on it, as if absorbing the fire and heat from the sun, becoming some kind of nutrient. And after absorbing to the limit, the giant face would often fly up, turn into a brilliant butterfly, spread its wings in the starry sky, and fly to the designated place.

The overall appearance was one of being fully prepared.

Giving people a sense of solemnity.

But... if Xu Qing and his group had arrived at the left wing for the first time, and it was here on the front line, they would naturally feel strongly about what they saw.

But they had crossed the entire central left wing, experienced chaos, and experienced slaughter, so now on the front line, looking at these, there was gazing, but no shock.

Compared to this, the meat grinder where heterogeneous quality and Immortal Spirit aura intertwined, which they had come from, seemed to be the true front line.

And this place was more like the rear.

During this period, Xu Qing and his group also saw many cultivators, some alone, some in groups, each with their own duties, orderly.

But the vast majority would pay a little more attention after noticing Xu Qing and the others.

Regarding this, Xu Qing and the others could only be silent.

At the same time, as they moved forward, they also felt a slight rejection from this starry sky, as if for this front-line area, their arrival was just that of visitors and was not fully accepted.

Until half a month later, the Commander's star of the left-wing front line came into view.

That was a red sun, incomparably bright.

Its size exceeded everything Xu Qing had seen. Compared to it, the sun in the Moyang Universe where he was located was just like dust.

And the feeling this star gave him was extremely unstable, as if it were swallowing the void, at every moment spraying out a large amount of matter at an extremely fast speed, turning into cloud Qi circling around it.

The pressure inside was even more astonishing, distorting the starry sky, making the surrounding starlight arc, as if it could not bear it, and also as if this star would explode completely at any moment, radiating extremely terrifying power.

But the heat was not that scorching.

"This is a sun about to die, having passed the main sequence stage, now it is a red star!"

Zhou Zhengli spoke in a low voice from the side.

Others also gazed, ripples in their hearts.

At the same time, the squad of cultivators that had escorted them all the way here also cupped their fists at Xu Qing with deep meaning at this moment, then retreated and left, leaving only Xu Qing and his group outside this huge red star.

After sensing the pressure of this star, Xu Qing's expression was solemn, and together with Xing Huanzi and the others beside him, he bowed to the red star.

"Planning Material Division squad, pays respects to the Commander!"

Looking at it one by one.

Almost the moment Xu Qing's words were spoken, the huge red star in front of them suddenly roared, terrifying aura erupted from within, and the surrounding cloud Qi surged.

A black palace actually rose slowly from inside the red star amidst the eruption of this aura and mist.

Once this palace appeared, a cold chill instantly enveloped the starry sky in all directions. At the same time, divine thoughts also spread from within this palace, enveloping Xu Qing and the others.

As if scrutinizing.

Any one of these divine thoughts made Xu Qing and the others' minds shake.

That was Immortal thought!

Especially the last one... it even made those Immortal thoughts dim, as if it were the absolute peak.

The moment it spread, a calm voice came from within the palace.

"You are the first batch, and perhaps the only batch, of Planning Material transport squads that truly delivered the source quality."

"So this seat does not wish to forcibly probe your past lives with thoughts. Then, you should tell me how you escaped from that meat grinder."

Once these words were spoken, Xing Huanzi and the others all became nervous. It was really the word "escape" that caused an ominous feeling to rise in their hearts, so they looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's mind also turned rapidly, but in the end, he chose to tell the truth, stating all the experiences and judgments of his group along the way.

No details, only the process.

And listening to Xu Qing's words, the Commander's divine thought from within the Red Star Palace did not speak, but among the other Immortal thoughts, there was a will that echoed meaningfully at this moment.

"For you to have such twists and turns, working together to deliver the source quality, is truly not easy. It should count as a great merit. And since the Commander does not wish to probe you with thoughts, then the peak Divine Platform entity you encountered... do you have evidence?"

Once these words were spoken, Xu Qing's mind stirred. In these words, there seemed to be questioning at the end, but Xu Qing had experienced so many things that he could naturally hear the extra meaning in the other party's words.

This was affirming their arrival, affirming their merit, and at the same time hinting to take out some proof to solidify this battle result.

As for why this was so, Xu Qing swept his peripheral vision over the people beside him.

Ascenders all had backgrounds, and being able to walk to here, the value of any one of them to the forces behind them was clearly greater than before.

"So that phrase 'working together' was the key point."

After thinking, Xu Qing raised his hand and waved. Immediately, his own Constitution rippled, "no space" opened, and the peak Divine Platform entity he had imprisoned appeared directly in front.

The traces branded by everyone's Constitution all over its body, as well as the suppressing fluctuations radiating from the iron spike at the center of its brow, explained everything.

And Xu Qing also spoke at this moment.

"Capturing a peak Divine Platform entity alive was not my own power; it was everyone working together that captured this Divine Platform!"

Thus, Xu Qing heard laughter.

From the Commander inside the Red Star Palace.

"You little guys, you are interesting."

"Since you crossed the war zone with such twists and turns, delivered the source quality amidst ten thousand difficulties, and completed your mission, it counts as a merit."

"Slaying gods and capturing a peak Divine Platform entity is also a merit."

"Then... just stay in my left-wing army."

As the Commander's voice echoed inside the palace, the red star roared, and the black palace also sank slowly, returning to the interior of the star.

Only a token flew out from within the red star, floating in front of Xu Qing and the others.

Radiating the last divine thought.

"You all, rest at Tiling Star and wait for subsequent arrangements."

Listening to the decree and looking at the token, Xu Qing and the others immediately lowered their heads.

"Obey the Commander's decree!"

Afterward, Xu Qing raised his hand and took the token. The moment he held it, the slight sense of rejection from this starry sky along the way also disappeared.

They were no longer visitors.

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and Zhou Zhengli, Xing Huanzi, and the others beside him also relaxed.

Looking at each other and recalling the experiences along the way, there were many emotions in their hearts.

They understood that from being Planning Material Envoys and Transport Envoys, walking into the battlefield, and coming here, this hurdle, they had completed it.

It was just that the price was also huge.

When they came, there were over a hundred people.

At this moment... there were less than twenty.

"This is the tempering of ascenders. Only by walking to the end and surviving the tribulation can one be called a Dao Seed."

Zhou Zhengli spoke softly.
