Chapter 320

Blue light exploded heaven-shakingly within the Sea Corpse Clan's territory, on the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo magic treasure altar.

As it continued incessantly, it attracted the high attention of the Sea Corpse Clan and Seven Blood Eyes disciples.

Especially the former, who were shaken as a whole clan. Almost all the Sea Corpse clansmen had seen the blue light emitted from the altar area in these few days, and they naturally knew why this had arisen.

It was precisely because they knew that upon realizing the time was so long, their heart and soul fluctuations became increasingly intense.

As for the Seven Blood Eyes disciples stationed here, it was the same.

Third Master looked at Xu Qing, who was filled with blue light on the altar below, looked at the blue color all over his body, and the death aura emitted from his body, his heart and soul also rising and falling with waves.

If it weren't for knowing that Xu Qing was doing this to open his one hundred and twenty-first dharma aperture, and that the probability of a sect betrayal was extremely small, he would have thought that Xu Qing was really going to convert himself into a Sea Corpse clansman.

It was truly that Xu Qing at this moment, following the integration of multiple corpse ancestor statue powers, had his life force almost reaching its limit, and the death aura all over his body was becoming increasingly rich.

Until another three hours passed, dusk faded, and the bright moon hung in the sky, Xu Qing's body shook abruptly. He felt his limit.

The purple crystal within his body, both having his own suppression and the invasion of the external corpse ancestor statues, finally brought his body to within a hair's breadth of being completely converted.

The left side of this hair's breadth was life, and the right side was death.

This was the state between life and death.

But this state was extremely unstable. A little less and it wasn't between life and death; a little more... and he would truly be converted into a Sea Corpse clansman.

At this critical moment, Xu Qing's eyes opened abruptly, revealing blue light, carrying an indifference without the slightest emotional fluctuation. He raised his right hand, which was like a corpse's, and pointed slowly toward the black wood in front of him.

Under this point, that black wood immediately emitted intense fluctuations.

The next instant, a huge illusory wooden door appeared before Xu Qing. Amidst the echoing roaring sound, this wooden door slowly opened toward Xu Qing.

A beam of intense, dazzling white light, different from the blue light all around, suddenly dispersed from within this wooden door and enveloped Xu Qing's body!

This light was brighter and more brilliant than before... It had not been dimmed by the cruel truth and the world; it still existed, only it had become somewhat cold, with the warmth within it hidden deeper.

The light of the black wooden door was the way Xu Qing had thought of to solidify his state between life and death.

Whether it was his previous clash with Sheng Yunzi or his subsequent research, he was very clear that the light within the twice-refined wooden door possessed a certain power to seal the level of life.

This kind of sealing was like being frozen, causing a person's entire state to be as if solidified at that instant.

At this moment, following the dispersal of the light, Xu Qing's body shook abruptly. That unstable state between life and death was now completely solidified under the light of the Profound Spirit Eternal Intent Door, no longer unstable.

The level of life was as if fixed in place.

The next moment, under the arrangement of Third Master, who was watching Xu Qing, the blue light from the corpse ancestor statues all around immediately dissipated.

Afterward, as he formed seals, the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo magic treasure, the bronze ancient mirror, shone with light in the sky, turned into a beam of light, descended directly, landed on Xu Qing, and then refracted back.

Causing Xu Qing's entire body to be completely enveloped within this light.

Xu Qing's body shook. His consciousness was still clear at this moment, and his perception spread rapidly throughout his body, searching for his one hundred and twenty-first dharma aperture.

Seventh Master had said that everyone's dharma aperture location was different, especially this one hundred and twentieth dharma aperture, which was even more so.

But at this moment, in this state between life and death, with the help of the Seven Blood Eyes' taboo magic treasure, after Xu Qing perceived his entire body, he finally found... his one hundred and twenty-first dharma aperture.

This dharma aperture existed within his sea of consciousness, not real, but in a state similar to an illusion.

The moment he found it, Xu Qing did not have the slightest hesitation. The soul power within his body erupted instantly, surging with all his might toward the location he had just found in his sea of consciousness. The next instant, Xu Qing's body began to tremble.

The opening of the one hundred and twenty-first dharma aperture was more difficult than other dharma apertures, but Xu Qing was well prepared for this. The soul power within his body was again stimulated from one dharma aperture after another, gathering together to form a piece of soul fire, and surged over again.

After a few breaths, following the "clack" sound echoing in his sea of consciousness, Xu Qing's body shook, and the one hundred and twenty-first dharma aperture in the illusory state within his sea of consciousness abruptly... opened!

Following the opening, an unprecedented dharma power fluctuation erupted directly from within this one hundred and twenty-first dharma aperture.

Wild, endless, earth-shaking!

The power emitted by this one aperture was like thirty dharma apertures together.

Because the dharma power within it was too majestic, it could have the saying of "one aperture opens one fire."

At this moment, as this erupted, the four life fires burning within Xu Qing's body, although their colors were changed by the Sea Corpse Clan's aura, soon, under the gathering of countless fire threads, Xu Qing's fifth life fire formed instantly.

The color of this fifth life fire was fire-red.

At this moment, amidst the intense burning, terrifying fluctuations spread from it. After affecting Xu Qing's entire body, Xu Qing's state between life and death was also directly broken.

The flourishing of the flame of life caused his state to break, and the death aura began to dissipate.

Because the ritual was not completely finished, Xu Qing had not completely converted into a Sea Corpse clansman, so he could reverse it.

Especially the power of the purple crystal; other than letting the shadow cover it to hide it so it wouldn't be exposed, Xu Qing had no other suppression, so his vitality recovered even faster.

Gradually, among the five life fires, two changed color to fire-red, until the third life fire... finally, when all five life fires had normal colors, rich vitality was stimulated within Xu Qing's body, spreading to his entire body.

His skin color changed rapidly, and his hair was no longer withered.

This process lasted for four hours, after which Xu Qing's eyes opened abruptly, and everything was restored!

He successfully reversed and returned from that state between life and death, and opened the one hundred and twenty-first dharma aperture. This scene caused the seven Sea Corpse clansmen in the sky to feel incomparably regretful, while also feeling solemn.

No one dared to look down on someone who opened one hundred and twenty-one dharma apertures; this represented that the other party's Golden Core limit would reach the extreme, especially since they had long recognized Xu Qing and knew about Xu Qing's Life Lamp.

Third Master also felt relieved in his heart, his eyes revealing appreciation, but he did not disturb him, because he could see that next... Xu Qing was going to promote to a Tiangong Golden Core here.

So he immediately waved his hand, drove away the Sea Corpse Clan cultivators all around, and after sealing this place even more strictly, personally stood guard for Xu Qing.

This was a matter Seventh Master had entrusted to him. Whether from the standpoint of the sect or the personal favor to Seventh Master, the Third Peak Master would strictly execute it.

He would not allow any accidents to occur during Xu Qing's promotion.

In fact, in this Seven Blood Eyes' taboo place, it was also very difficult for accidents to occur. This place could be said to be the safest place within Seven Blood Eyes.

After a while, Xu Qing opened his eyes. After being silent for a few breaths, he felt the arrangements Third Master had made all around, so he closed his eyes again, preparing for promotion!

Five-fire promotion is basically a sure thing.

And for Foundation Establishment to promote to Golden Core, what needs to be done is to burn the life fire to the extreme, hold it high within the body, and reflect the Tiangong out.

The reflected Tiangong is illusory, but it will not disappear. Like a status, it will exist forever.

And what the cultivator needs to do in the years that follow is to substantiate the illusory Tiangong they reflected, and finally place a Golden Core inside to suppress it, so it can become a true Tiangong.

At this moment, following Xu Qing's thought, the five life fires within his body shone brightly in an instant.

One hundred and twenty-one dharma apertures were like one hundred and twenty-one furnaces, especially the last aperture, where the fire intent was even richer, turning into countless fire threads, gathering within the five life fires, making the light of Xu Qing's five life fires even more dazzling.

There was even the Life Lamp manifesting, and after the fire light was further blessed, it was held high within Xu Qing's body.

The next moment, within the sea of consciousness, above that life fire, the first Tiangong, which had originally revealed a corner and was looming, seemed to have its veil lifted, revealing more and more.

Until a moment later, Xu Qing's first illusory Life Palace was completely reflected out.

The appearance of this Tiangong was like a huge palace, filled with a sense of holiness and majesty.

This was the most basic appearance of a Tiangong, but for any human, the illusory Tiangong was basically like this.

This was determined by the racial bloodline.

And in the process of substantiation, different changes would appear according to the different cultivation techniques of the cultivator.

At this moment, following the burning and holding high of Xu Qing's five life fires, soon... above the first illusory Tiangong, Xu Qing's second illusory Tiangong was also reflected out.

Then the third, the fourth...

His sea of consciousness was roaring heaven-shakingly at this moment, as if everything was trembling, and there were even bolts of lightning wandering in all directions, as if wanting to tear everything apart, when the fifth illusory Tiangong also appeared accordingly.

Looking at it, the five Heavenly Palaces from bottom to top were incomparably vast, and the light of the life fire was still spreading, causing the sixth illusory Tiangong to also be reflected in the sea of consciousness at this instant.

And above that sixth illusory Tiangong, there existed a dense mist. This mist was like a dome, preventing the reflection of the fire light.

Six Heavenly Palaces, this was the limit for a three-fire cultivator, because the Heavenly Palaces after that existed within the Life Mist, and without the intense light of the life fire, they could not be reflected out.

But Xu Qing was not among them.

Following the eruption of his five life fires again, within the dense mist, the seventh illusory Tiangong faintly formed.

Immediately after, it was the eighth Tiangong within the Life Mist, which, under the dazzling light of the five life fires, also had its mist pierced through and was reflected out.

Eight illusory Heavenly Palaces caused the sea of consciousness to tremble, roaring in all directions, with an astonishing momentum. Even outside his body, a vortex appeared, and while sweeping in all directions, infinite spiritual energy was absorbed over.

"Next... is the Life Lamp becoming the Life Palace!"

Xu Qing murmured in his heart, holding his Seven-Colored Wind-Singing Lamp high within his sea of consciousness.

This lamp shuttled through the six illusory Heavenly Palaces and entered the Life Mist.

It pierced through the seventh and eighth illusory Heavenly Palaces, and at a higher position, erupted with power that shook heaven and earth.

Light spread out incomparably brilliantly from the Seven-Colored Wind-Singing Lamp, and the ninth Tiangong abruptly began to construct itself around this Life Lamp.

Not illusory, but substantial.

After the entire process lasted for half an hour, Xu Qing's ninth Tiangong was completely formed within the Life Mist.

What was enshrined within it was the Seven-Colored Wind-Singing Lamp; it would become an existence similar to a Golden Core, suppressing the Tiangong here, making it instantly... complete!

The power of one Tiangong erupted heaven-shakingly from Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged, inducing the heaven and earth outside to change color, and a deafening loud noise came through.

It was not over; the Life Lamp in the shape of a large black umbrella was held high by Xu Qing at this moment!
