Chapter 1219: Arrived? Arrived!
"The Profound Nether God-Refining Art, this secret technique is incomparably domineering and can forcibly refine True God primordial matter!"
Xu Qing raised his head and gazed in all directions. The fog in his heart seemed to have wind blowing, finally dissipating a little.
Then he put away the God-Refining Art and switched to ordinary collection methods, trying it on this divine corpse to make a final determination.
The outcome was consistent with his judgment: he gained nothing.
"It really is like this!"
"To collect True Gods, one must either rely on the power of the Jiguang Heaven-Beyond-Heaven to suppress, or it must be like the Goddess, only after her realm has fallen."
"And those two, one had returned for the most part and was not complete, and the other had been severely injured, making it difficult for her realm to recover."
"And now this divine corpse is even more dim in primordial matter after death, being devoured by Source Sins, being absorbed by the Mother Star... so ordinary collection methods cannot obtain the slightest bit, only the Profound Nether God-Refining Art can, by its domineering nature, plunder a little."
"With this technique, I can offset the absorption of my primordial matter here, making me qualified to stay here longer."
"However, the Immortal Venerable's goal can never be just to let me absorb divine corpses here and improve my own cultivation base and realm!"
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. In his view, the Immortal Venerable's layered plans must be extremely deep.
"I am most likely just a link in his plan, or rather, an auxiliary!"
"And staying here is the foundation..."
"In other words, actually, regarding the Immortal Venerable's plan, I don't need to think too much. Just keep walking, and perhaps in some accident, his goal will manifest before me on its own."
"But this feeling is something I don't like!"
Xu Qing fell silent. He did not like his fate being controlled, even if the other party was an Immortal Venerable.
It was just that, asking himself, since coming to the Fifth Star Ring from the Eastern Wanggu Continent, although everything was indeed his own effort, it had to be said that the gaze from the Immortal Venerable in the dark had saved him a lot of trouble.
These things, Xu Qing has been able to feel as he walked this path.
Thus, he sighed softly, sent a portion of the absorbed primordial matter to the Mud Fox, so that both sides could offset the loss here. Then, he sat cross-legged and absorbed with all his might.
A few days later, as that divine corpse completely sank into the glacier, under the blue gazes of those Source Sins, Xu Qing's body swayed and ascended into the sky.
He sped away in mid-air on the Primitive Mother Star.
"The refined primordial matter is enough for me and the Mud Fox to be fine for the next few days..."
"Next, I can also explore this place more.
If I can find a way out, that would naturally be best.
As for the Immortal Venerable's plan... I will just treat it as repayment.
And before the Immortal Venerable's plan manifests, I must still focus on cultivation."
Xu Qing made a decision in his heart. During this speeding, he also sent a portion of primordial matter into the Goddess's body.
The Goddess... cannot die yet.
Because dying here, she has no value.
In Xu Qing's thinking, even if the other party were to die, she must provide enough benefits to him to be considered dying in the right place.
Just like this, time passed, and half a month went by.
Because the Primitive Mother Star had no distinction between day and night, it was ghostly green moonlight at all times, so in Xu Qing's judgment, it was calculated according to the time of the Eastern Wanggu Continent.
And in this half month, he saw divine corpses falling from the firmament many times, but most of them decomposed on their own in mid-air, turning into dust. Only those who reached the Divine Platform level were not completely decomposed, becoming residual bones that fell on the glacier and sank slowly.
"It seems what the Goddess said was not hidden on this point... gods below the True God level will also return here after divine decline and become nutrients."
"Only True Gods can have their corpses fall completely."
"So this place is less of a Primitive Mother Star and more of a Corpse Star, like the Yin Underworld."
Xu Qing gazed at a God of Divine Fire in the firmament, whose body turned into flying ash, murmuring in his heart.
Behind him was a collapsed glacier, and below, one could see countless Source Sins staring fixedly at him.
Through those Source Sins, one could see a temple at the very bottom of the glacier, appearing and disappearing under the moonlight scattered by the broken glacier.
A moment later, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, looked at the glacier, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
This half month, he explored not only on the glacier but also beneath it, and found three temple locations.
Each one, without exception, had endless corpses and countless Source Beasts in the surroundings.
And Xu Qing, not sparing the consumption of primordial matter, erupted with combat power, broke in forcibly, and saw bronze gates in all three temples.
Unfortunately, no matter how he stimulated them, those three bronze gates, like the first one he appeared at, had no reaction at all.
"It seems that the temple gates, although they are the path to enter this place, are not the exit."
Xu Qing determined this, his gaze swept over those Source Beasts, and he made a judgment in his heart again.
"There must be some connection between the temples and the Source Beasts."
Xu Qing did not have an answer to this question yet, so while pondering, his body swayed, and he ascended into the sky to go far away again.
He wanted to find those fallen divine corpses to supplement the loss of primordial matter for himself and the Mud Fox, in exchange for more time.
He had been living like this for the past half month.
Although he had not seen any more True God corpses like the first one in this half month, there were still residual bones falling.
Even if they could not provide sufficient primordial matter like True God corpses to let him persist for several days at once, after absorbing many residual bones, he could barely supplement it.
Enabling him to continue exploring this place.
Thus, time passed day by day again. Xu Qing's exploration range on this Primitive Mother Star grew larger and larger amidst this primordial matter supplementation, but on the glacier, nothing changed in the slightest.
It was still black, still boundless.
Except for the Source Sins beneath the glacier, except for the residual bones that fell from the sky from time to time, there was nothing else.
The whole world seemed to have only him as a normal life form, flying eternally between this heaven and earth.
Until... when Xu Qing's perception was a bit numb in this unchanging state, this day, while he was speeding in the firmament, his body suddenly paused, and he gazed into the distance.
His eyes shone with essence at this moment.
"That is..."
At the end of his gaze, on this black glacier, a huge crack actually appeared!
Like a canyon, shocking to the eye.
This was the first time in this month that Xu Qing had seen different terrain!
This discovery made Xu Qing's spirit lift. His speed increased, turning into a meteor long rainbow in mid-air, crossing the void in an instant, and when he appeared, he was already above that canyon!
Looking down, this canyon was so large it was like a scar on the earth, its length exceeding Xu Qing's perception range, and its depth was the same.
And even more astonishing, even making Xu Qing's mind churn...
Was that inside the canyon, on the ice walls on both sides, from top to bottom, there existed countless bronze gates.
Some gates were sealed in ice, some were half-exposed, and some were completely manifested.
If it were just this, it would not be enough to cause ripples in Xu Qing's mind. What truly made his pupils contract were the Source Sins sitting cross-legged outside those completely manifested bronze gates!
These Source Sins were not just blue-armed; it could be said that their whole bodies were covered in blue ice, looking infinitely close to the one in Eldest Brother's body.
"No, the one in Eldest Brother's body is dark blue, while they... are light blue!"
!
Seeing these Source Sins, Xu Qing's vigilance was incomparably strong.
He had fought these Source Beasts more than once and knew very well their characteristics and how difficult they were to deal with, and this kind of Source Beast that was light blue all over was also something he had encountered for the first time here.
And the number was so large.
Almost at the same time Xu Qing looked at them, many of these Source Beasts sitting cross-legged outside the bronze gates also raised their heads, their blue eyes coldly gazing at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing did not act rashly, and as for those Source Beasts, they had no other actions, just looking at Xu Qing.
After a long while, Xu Qing retreated slowly, and some of the Source Beasts also withdrew their gazes.
"They can't come out..."
Combining with his previous experience, Xu Qing made a judgment in his heart, and at the same time knew that this canyon... once he entered, it would also be extremely dangerous.
"But they, why are they all sitting outside those completely manifested bronze gates?"
Xu Qing furrowed his brows. After a long while, he simply sat cross-legged in mid-air, silently observing while confronting those Source Beasts.
A few days later, a strange change occurred in the canyon, completely solving Xu Qing's doubts.
That was one of the many bronze gates below, which opened slowly.
Divine murmurs echoed from within as the gate opened.
"Kan Shan... Kan Shan..."
That was a divine sound, containing the power of the Star Ring, and as it spread, it pulled in heterogenous matter from all directions, turning into illusory, intertwined divine runes.
Drifting out from within the gate!
Rushing straight toward the Source Sin outside the gate!
This divine rune was permeated with endless antiquity and contained unimaginable mystery. Just looking at it once caused Xu Qing's mind to shake, and he immediately retreated a bit.
As for that Source Sin, intense blue light appeared in its eyes, and it let out monstrous hisses and roars from its mouth.
It was as if this divine rune was a tribulation it had to face. At this moment, amidst this hissing, it went crazy and rushed straight toward the divine rune.
Under Xu Qing's own eyes, the Source Sin and the divine rune collided in an instant.
Immediately after, the divine rune erupted with golden light, the Source Sin erupted with blue light, and they seemed to be devouring each other.
But clearly, compared to the golden light, the blue light was like boiling water and snowflakes. No matter how the blue light flashed, it ultimately could not resist and was finally completely submerged by the golden light of the divine rune.
And then... it seemed to have absorbed everything of the dead Source Sin. With this divine rune as the center, bones, meridians, and flesh and blood spread out...
Eventually, it turned into a divine body!
Endless vitality!
That was a newborn god!
And there was even the aura of a True God emanating from this divine body, and then, before it could wake up, it was suddenly sucked in by the bronze gate beside it.
Disappearing without a trace.
Xu Qing saw this scene clearly, and the ripples in his mind rose comprehensively at this moment.
"This is the process of divine reshaping here!"
"So reshaping requires that kind of Source Sin that has turned into blue ice as a carrier, and what the gate opens and drifts out... must be the True Name!!"
"True Name imprint, turning into a new god, this process, the Source Sin cannot change in the slightest, like fate!"
Xu Qing's heartbeat accelerated accordingly.
"Then am I also entering from the bronze gate, in the form of a True Name?"
Xu Qing was a bit hesitant about this, and at the same time, looking at the Source Sins and bronze gates below, he could not help but associate them with Eldest Brother!
"Then Eldest Brother there... looking at it this way, it is extremely special!"
"Every time he erupts, a Source Sin will appear from his chest, and it looks like that Source Sin is one with him!"
"In addition, Eldest Brother's body also possesses the meaning of immortality!"
Xu Qing's thoughts turned rapidly here, recalling everything about Eldest Brother in the past. At the same time, in the distant firmament, a divine corpse, having experienced a long journey, finally arrived here.
Manifesting in the firmament.
Falling toward the earth!
During this process, it did not decompose!
That was a True God corpse!
Seeing that corpse, Xu Qing immediately put away all his thoughts, his eyes revealing strange light.
Refining residual bones to obtain supplementary primordial matter was ultimately limited.
It was far inferior to this kind of True God corpse!
Thus, Xu Qing's body swayed, speeding toward the direction where the corpse fell like a hungry wolf.
At the same time, inside this falling divine corpse, Fairy Linghuang opened her eyes.
"Husband, we have arrived."
Beside her, Young Master Jiguang opened his eyes, his expression indifferent, and just as he was about to speak, the next instant, his originally calm expression suddenly became strange.
"Hmm?" ===== CHAPTER 1222 =====
