Chapter 187: Something Happened
The place of the Seventh Corpse Ancestor statue was very quiet.
On weekdays, there were no overly violent fluctuations here, and the Sea Corpse Clan did not allow clansmen to break through at the statue place.
So the silence here was like this all year round.
And healing also required qualifications. Unless it was someone with a noble status, otherwise, only those who had made contributions in the clan would be allowed to come to the blood pool under the statue to heal, which meant that there were not many cultivators here.
Now that it was wartime, there were more, but even so, the silence here was still the same as usual, and no one dared to be disrespectful here.
At the same time, over the years, the holy land of the Sea Corpse Clan rarely had situations where outsiders infiltrated. After all, under layers of protection and with formation screening, it was too difficult to break in.
But this kind of thing only rarely appeared, not that it didn't exist. In the history of the Sea Corpse Clan, there were actually several similar incidents.
The infiltrators who came in the past did not have the purpose of absorbing the spiritual liquid of this place; they were all for the statue itself.
The material of the nine statues of the Sea Corpse Clan was extremely special and rare in the world. It seemed that only these nine statues possessed it, so it aroused the curiosity and covetousness of many races.
It's just that the material of this statue was extremely strong, and even if it was shattered, it could recover quickly. Coupled with the fact that the Sea Corpse Clan was not someone who could be suppressed, it was preserved intact.
Of course, if the intruder had heaven-shaking strength, they could also shatter it. However, those with heaven-shaking strength generally wouldn't infiltrate and could completely demand the Sea Corpse Clan to cooperate based on their own strength.
At the same time, once the material of this statue left the Sea Corpse Clan's island, it would turn into an ordinary object and lose its mystery.
Thus, as time passed, after exploring by strong races one after another, these nine statues were finally preserved by the Sea Corpse Clan, and gradually there were not many people thinking about them.
And because of its self-recovery, it looked like there were no missing parts.
Of course, there were rumors that the Sea Corpse Clan's statues were not nine, but more, only that the Sea Corpse Clan only kept nine now.
But no matter what, for the Sea Corpse Clan, this was their holy object, and they had full malice toward anyone who came to hit the holy object's idea.
Even if the holy object couldn't cause any damage, this kind of thing was also a kind of humiliation in the eyes of the Sea Corpse Clan.
And the most recent infiltration occurred sixty years ago. The intruder was still Foundation Establishment at that time. He didn't know what method he used to come here and absorb a large amount of spiritual liquid, escaping with his life hanging by a thread.
Afterward, the Sea Corpse Clan was furious and hunted him down for many years, but that person was also a heaven-gifted talent. After escaping one danger after another, he was favored by a big shot and accepted as a son-in-law, which forced the Sea Corpse Clan to temporarily delay this matter, but afterward, they guarded it even more strictly.
And this Foundation Establishment cultivator from back then had also risen over the past hundred years and became the... Seventh Master of the Seventh Peak of the Seven Blood Eyes.
Today, the event that happened in history appeared again beside this Seventh Corpse Ancestor statue of the Sea Corpse Clan.
Xu Qing absorbed carefully. The blood-colored spiritual liquid gathered in his body gradually increased, and the aura that made the Dharma apertures long for it also became stronger and stronger.
At the same time, the danger all around and the Golden Core powerhouse above his head made Xu Qing's heart jump. While absorbing, he paid close attention to this place.
"Can't be too greedy, just about enough is fine. Once I'm full, I'll leave here." While warning himself in his heart, Xu Qing saw that no one noticed him, so he absorbed faster.
At the same time, the shadow also drilled into the water pool silently at this moment. After blinking more than a hundred eyes at the same time, it took a sip with some curiosity, then all its eyes narrowed, seeming very intoxicated, and absorbed swiftly.
Seeing this, Xu Qing thought for a moment, secretly took out the black iron sign, and placed it in the water pool. The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor was clearly shaken, absorbed a little, and his eyes also lit up.
"Can all be absorbed? All-purpose and all-effective?"
Xu Qing was surprised. After thinking for a moment, he secretly performed the Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits. Instantly, the totem branded on his back flashed slightly under Xu Qing's control, and a large amount of red liquid surged into it along with his totem.
This scene made Xu Qing very pleasantly surprised.
And his absorption speed was soon noticed by the Captain, whose eyes turned red, feeling very unconvinced in his heart.
Xu Qing's absorption speed was clearly faster than his, which made the Captain feel he had no face. Thus, after looking around and finding no one paying attention, he took out a small bottle, knocked it fiercely in the water.
Instantly, a large amount of blood-colored spiritual liquid merged into it along the bottle mouth.
This bottle was very mysterious and could accommodate a lot, but it was soon full. After the Captain put it away without changing his expression, he took out another one and started absorbing.
Just like that, while he was accommodating it himself, he was also using items to load it, and his speed was not much weaker than Xu Qing's.
Xu Qing also felt this scene, so he frowned and glanced at the Captain. The Captain also looked at him, revealing a provocation in his eyes.
Xu Qing was silent. He knew the Captain was a madman, so he wouldn't haggle with a madman. At the same time, he continued to remind himself not to be greedy, just about enough is fine. Once he was full, and the shadow and the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor or the Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits, any one of them reached the limit, he would leave.
It's just that now the shadow and the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor and he himself were not full yet, so Xu Qing thought for a moment and moved his body slowly toward the statue.
He had already noticed that the closer he was to the statue, the better the quality of the blood-colored spiritual liquid seemed to be.
At this moment, during this movement, as he approached the statue, Xu Qing was full of surprises in his heart. He found that his absorption speed was faster, and the shadow was the same, while the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor was the most useless, actually not persisting for long before reaching the limit.
Xu Qing scanned the black iron sign with some displeasure, put it away, and thought for a moment.
"Hmm, once the shadow and I are full, I'll leave!"
With this plan, Xu Qing continued to move slowly. Soon, a stick of incense time passed, and he had silently reached the foot of the statue.
At the same time, the Captain also moved toward the statue after noticing Xu Qing's move. Just like that, when Xu Qing reached the side of one of the statue's feet, the Captain also reached the side of the other foot of the statue.
He felt Xu Qing was a bit too crazy. Now that he had absorbed for so long, he actually still didn't leave.
"No, I can't be compared by my subordinate. Hehe, competing with me in madness?" The Captain muttered in his heart, directly took out ten bottles, and started absorbing.
Xu Qing frowned at this scene.
"The Captain is too greedy. It's very easy to be exposed if this continues. I can't stay here for too long. Just about enough is fine. Can't be greedy!"
Xu Qing muttered in his heart. While absorbing continuously, half a stick of incense passed, and he regretfully found that the blood-colored liquid in his body had been accommodated to the limit and couldn't continue. And his entire body, although it looked as usual, Xu Qing had a feeling that he was about to be burst.
At the same time, the shadow also emitted a feeling of being full and couldn't continue.
Xu Qing felt his Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits, which seemed to be able to accommodate more, so he turned his back to the statue and stuck his back to the statue.
"Can't be greedy, but since I and the shadow and the iron sign are all full, it doesn't matter if the Jin Wu is not..." Xu Qing muttered in his heart, secretly performing the Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits. And his back was stuck to the statue at this moment, so with such a performance, instantly, the power of the same source as the water pool inside the statue surged over.
Faintly, ripples appeared on the water surface all around. Xu Qing's heart jumped, and he hurriedly suppressed the absorption speed, which made the ripples dissipate.
His heartbeat accelerated, and he started absorbing slowly.
The Captain's eyes widened, looked at Xu Qing, then lowered his head to look at the bottles around him, fiercely gritted his teeth, and took out ten more to accelerate the accommodation.
Time passed bit by bit, until a stick of incense later... Xu Qing's breathing suddenly became rapid. He felt something was wrong.
At this moment, in his perception, as he unfolded the Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits toward this god statue, besides a large amount of blood energy surging from within the statue, a dark current was faintly forming swiftly at the position where he was stuck to the statue.
This dark current existed inside the statue, invisible and imperceptible to outsiders, only Xu Qing could perceive it when unfolding the Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits. It gave him the perception that it was as if he had gathered a large amount of impurities during this absorption.
And these impurities couldn't leave the statue, were blocked inside, so they gathered continuously, especially emitting fluctuations that made Xu Qing's heart jump.
This fluctuation was extremely unstable and would explode if stimulated slightly.
This made Xu Qing extremely horrified, especially when he faintly felt that the power contained in this dark current was extremely terrifying. He felt that once it exploded, he would definitely be shrouded in it since he was so close.
And in such a terrifying explosion, Xu Qing had a strong life-and-death crisis.
"Once this thing explodes, it will definitely cause other reactions inside the statue... too dangerous." Xu Qing was instantly vigilant, slowly lowering and converging the Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits, carefully ending the devouring without stimulating the dark current substance.
Afterward, he felt that dark current, after losing his suction, slowly drifted upward along the inside of the statue and became even more unstable.
Xu Qing raised his head, glanced at the Golden Core child sitting cross-legged on the giant hand above the statue, stood up silently, didn't dare to move too fast, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and walked out.
Xu Qing's move made the Captain stunned. When looking at Xu Qing, Xu Qing gave him a look.
The Captain was somewhat hesitant. When he stood up, there was some entanglement and unwillingness in his eyes. He felt that what he did this time was not satisfying at all, and the degree of madness was far inferior to the old guy.
He felt that it would be fine if he left just like that without anyone noticing.
But once he went outside and his identity was noticed, then clearly it would be a huge loss.
"Since it's highly likely to be noticed when going out, and it's also highly likely to be noticed when doing a big thing, then of course I have to do a job. If the old guy knows about it later, he will also sigh at his inferiority!" After thinking, the Captain revealed a touch of madness in his eyes.
Xu Qing was walking out while giving the Captain a look. At this moment, seeing the madness in the Captain's eyes, Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat, secretly saying it was bad. Thus, without any hesitation, he accelerated fiercely.
Meanwhile, the Captain was panting heavily on his side when he suddenly let out a laugh. He reached into his robes with his right hand and pulled out a piece of flesh filled with a divine aura. As soon as this flesh appeared, a shocking fluctuation erupted in the surroundings.
Almost the instant this fluctuation spread, the Captain swallowed this flesh and blood into his mouth, swallowed it fiercely, and his entire body boomed, instantly erupting with dazzling golden light, causing all the Sea Corpse Clan members here to be startled awake. At the same time, the Captain's life fire in his body opened fully instantly, and amidst the roaring aura, he unlocked the seal, his entire person shining with golden light, and in an instant, he rushed to the side of the Corpse Ancestor statue's toe. Regardless of the Sea Corpse Clan members all around, regardless of the Golden Core above, he opened his mouth wide and bit fiercely toward the Corpse Ancestor statue's toe!
