Chapter 482: Jin Wu Dao Infant Accompanies Zhaoxia

"Warden, I have a plan that can delay time for you. This is also a method I thought of for myself to get out of trouble before. Originally, the certainty wasn't high, but with you here, Boss, if I cooperate, there will be no problem."

The old man Danqing transmitted his words excitedly.

"Warden, in a while, after the finger returns, I will tell it that you possess the Jin Wu body, so your appearance makes this skeleton fully possess activity, and there is no need for other living beings to merge in."

"Then I will paint for the finger. I can control this process and paint more slowly. After you give me a signal, I will finish painting."

"I've thought it all through. I'll appear to be painting a body, but in reality, I'm preparing to paint a flesh-and-blood cage. That divine finger's consciousness is a bit unclear after being severely injured by the Prison Department before. Moreover, outsiders don't understand things like painting. I'm confident it will be difficult for it to detect it in advance."

"Then after it merges into it and discovers it's a cage, that will be the time for us to flee!"

"Because it's painted with the remains of the sun, this cage's power is not small. Originally, I estimated it could trap it for a few days, but with your Jin Wu activity, Boss, I think it can trap it for more than half a month."

"Then during this period, it will be enough for us to flee. You see what plan you have, Boss, and I can cooperate to complete it." After the old man Danqing said so much in one breath, he added another sentence.

"By the way, Warden, you might not know yet. I discovered during this period that after this finger broke out of prison and was hit by the Palace Master's taboo magic treasure power, its thoughts had some problems and it was a bit forgetful, seemingly unable to remember things..."

Xu Qing looked at the old man Danqing, nodded, closed his eyes, and didn't speak, absorbing the power of the sun's remains with all his might. His Jin Wu was now spreading out, stretching its body within the remains.

In Xu Qing's perception, as the Jin Wu absorbed crazily, its tails were growing one by one. In the short time now, it had already reached more than sixty.

According to Xu Qing's previous judgment, after the Jin Wu's tails broke through ninety-nine, his Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits would advance to the third stage.

The power of the third stage was Nascent Soul!

And because the Jin Wu landed in the fifth Tiangong, so once the Jin Wu advanced, Xu Qing's fifth Tiangong would undergo earth-shaking transformation, forming the False Nascent Soul body belonging to this fifth palace in advance.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing had expectations in his heart.

Time passed bit by bit. As the Jin Wu absorbed, Xu Qing's aura climbed constantly, becoming more and more astonishing, radiating bursts of fluctuations that made the head and the old man Danqing feel terrified.

That sun remains also possessed more and more activity, and a sense of revival rose within.

Just at this moment, in the abyss sea in the distance, the terrifying divine sense belonging to the divine finger came roaring, and in an instant, this finger appeared here, dragging a large number of alien cultivators behind it, especially the Yanmiao Clan.

These Yanmiao Clan members were all incomplete. In this despair, they were all thrown toward the sun remains by the finger.

Their clan could live in the desert, which itself had a certain connection with the sun, so at this moment, they were rapidly absorbed by the remains, supplementing nutrients for the remains, and giving no small help to Xu Qing's cultivation.

Even so, the return of the finger still made Xu Qing feel somewhat nervous. He opened his eyes to look at the finger, and the finger clearly sensed the abnormality of the sun's flesh and blood, and its divine sense swept over.

The old man Danqing on the side was excited at this moment, speaking loudly.

"Great Master, you are indeed the god chosen by heaven. During the time you were away, I discovered that you actually grabbed a remarkable guy."

"It's him!" The old man Danqing raised his hand and pointed at Xu Qing.

"Master, you might not remember him. He is the warden of our Ding Yisaner. I have checked carefully just now. This person possesses the Jin Wu body. He is a descendant of the sun."

"His appearance is a blessing given by heaven to you, Master. He alone can make this sun skeleton possess a certain degree of activity."

"In this way, I can paint the divine body for you now!"

"Thinking that I have the honor to paint the divine body for the great chosen one with my own hands, I am incomparably excited!" The old man Danqing's expression was incomparably pious, kneeling and bowing beneath the finger, speaking excitedly.

The divine finger transmitted a buzzing sound, turned violently, locked onto the sun remains, and radiated bursts of eager clear fluctuations. Once this fluctuation came out, the surroundings trembled, the void began to shatter, and the earth appeared with collapsing cracks.

The old man Danqing was shocked, raising his hand just about to paint, but just at this moment, Xu Qing endured the discomfort of facing the god and spoke in a low voice.

"Divine Master, the activity of the sun remains is actually not enough now, you can check it. Give me a little more time, and I can make the activity of this sun remains even greater. And the body painted with fully active sun flesh and blood will be more perfect, and the success rate will also be higher."

"After all, sun remains are scarce. If you fail once, you lose one chance."

"Divine Master, why not wait a little longer?"

During Xu Qing's words, the Jin Wu within his body spread out on a large scale, making the sun remains flesh and blood radiate a thicker sense of revival. And that divine finger, after its terrifying divine sense swept over, became somewhat chaotic, as if thinking.

The old man Danqing on the side flashed imperceptibly in his eyes. Xu Qing's opening was different from the plan they had discussed before. Xu Qing didn't pay attention to the old man. He looked at the divine finger, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and spoke again.

"Divine Master, like the Yanmiao Clan you brought back this time, their special body structure is very suitable for increasing activity. You have also seen it, they are very useful, so if there can be more, the activity will be better."

"In addition, if there can be a Zhaoxia Light, it can also make this sun remains reach the extreme in an instant!" Xu Qing gritted his teeth in his heart and spoke slowly.

He had read the records of Zhaoxia Mountain. The last light appeared more than seventy years ago and had been taken out by the Sword Palace. Now Zhaoxia Light hadn't appeared for a long time.

And Xu Qing didn't tell any lies from beginning to end. Everything he said was true.

He could indeed make the activity increase better, the specialty of the Yanmiao Clan could indeed provide good assistance, and as for Zhaoxia Light, it was originally related to the sun falling. If it could be merged, it would naturally be the most perfect.

The divine finger's divine sense swept over, and bursts of irritable fluctuations radiated from its body. After a few breaths, it disappeared from this place in an instant, heading straight for the distance.

Watching the finger leave, Xu Qing felt relieved in his heart. He was gambling on the fact that this divine finger's obsession with the body exceeded everything.

And since the old man Danqing could use this method to simply drive the divine finger, Xu Qing felt that he could too, and it was even more convincing. This was seizing the initiative.

"Master has good means." The old man Danqing smiled, his eyes flashing slightly.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention. Taking advantage of the finger's departure, he immediately urged the Jin Wu to increase his strength to absorb. And this time, if the divine finger really went to find Zhaoxia Light, the speed of its return would definitely not be fast.

Because Zhaoxia Light was not only scarce but hadn't appeared for a long time, so in Xu Qing's judgment, it was impossible for the divine finger to find it.

And the Jin Wu's tails had now soared to more than eighty. It was not very far from breaking through.

Xu Qing's mood was agitated. He was confident that the moment his Jin Wu broke through to become the third stage, he himself would be able to get out of trouble, and at the same time, with the power of the taboo magic treasure strike given by the Palace Master, he had great confidence that he could escape from here.

As for the head in the distance, it had long seen the game between Xu Qing and the old man Danqing, so it secretly crawled onto the stone lion's back, whispering to it, preparing to wait for the results of these two, and then take the opportunity to flee.

Just like that, time passed.

The aura on Xu Qing's body became thicker and thicker, and the Jin Wu's tails also reached ninety-three. It was still continuing.

Ninety-four, ninety-five, ninety-six...

And just at the moment when the tails reached ninety-seven, suddenly, violent fluctuations came from the abyss sea in the distance. The next instant, the divine finger actually returned!

This time, behind it, it actually rolled up thousands of Yanmiao Clan clansmen, each one in despair, letting out miserable wails.

If it were just this, that would be fine. What made Xu Qing's heart vibrate violently and set off huge waves was that on the finger, there was actually a seven-colored gorgeous light, bound by it!

This light seemed to possess life, giving people a sense of birth, and also permeated with pure holiness, as if although it was born when the sun fell, it represented hope, represented rebirth!

Now, while constantly shining, the light was extremely brilliant, radiating incomparably astonishing pressure. To Xu Qing, it felt even more precious than the branches of the Ten-Intestine Tree.

At the moment of looking at that light, Xu Qing's breathing was rapid, his eyes widened, and its name surfaced directly in his mind. "Zhaoxia Light!!"

The Jin Wu absorbing the sun remains behind him also radiated intense longing at this moment, as if it wanted both the remains and this light.

"It actually really found it?" Xu Qing's heart set off huge waves. He felt this matter was unbelievable.

He didn't know how this divine finger did it. Clearly Zhaoxia Light was extremely scarce and hadn't appeared for a long time, but now... it actually brought back one.

As for those thousands of Yanmiao Clan members, he didn't pay attention. At this moment, all his attention was gathered on that Zhaoxia Light.

At any other time, seeing such creation, Xu Qing would have strong fluctuations in his heart, but now... he felt somewhat conflicted in his heart. He needed time.

So he told the finger that the Yanmiao Clan could assist, and Zhaoxia Light could reach the extreme.

He originally thought the divine finger would search for a long time, so he would have enough time to complete his Jin Wu's advancement, thereby getting out of trouble and breaking the restrictions around him.

It was just that he never expected the divine finger to return so quickly... and also brought back Zhaoxia Light.

Just as Xu Qing's heart was fluctuating, the finger that returned flicked its hand, and instantly thousands of Yanmiao Clan members letting out shrill screams headed straight for Xu Qing, merging into the sun remains flesh and blood around him.

In an instant, these Yanmiao Clan members became nutrients, rapidly melted and absorbed by the sun remains flesh and blood, to nourish Xu Qing. And that Zhaoxia Light, also under the finger's flick, headed straight for Xu Qing...

Xu Qing was silent.

This light approached in an instant, merging into the flesh and blood around him. The next moment, it was sucked away by the Jin Wu, constantly erupting within its body, forming seven-colored light, dispersing from within this sun flesh and blood.

Looking from afar, at this moment, the sun remains seemed to have truly appeared to revive.

Bursts of strong fluctuations dispersed from within, circling around the surroundings with a rumbling sound. The nourishment from thousands of Yanmiao Clan members also accelerated the activity within the flesh and blood.

Xu Qing's Jin Wu's tails reached ninety-nine directly.

The one-hundredth was appearing rapidly, and Xu Qing's cultivation base was also rising at this moment. A Nascent Soul aura was constantly forming from the Jin Wu.

At the same time, the divine finger transmitted a buzzing sound. After its divine sense swept over the sun flesh and blood, it ignored Xu Qing's Jin Wu climbing and headed straight for the old man Danqing, pressing against his forehead.

Brutal divine sense erupted from within, seemingly it had completely lost its patience. That kind of madness and killing intent could no longer be controlled, as if if the body still couldn't be painted, its anger would crush everything around it in an instant.

The old man Danqing trembled, sensing the approach of death, and spoke loudly. "No problem, chosen master, I will paint the body for you now!"

During his words, the old man Danqing hurriedly took out a painting brush, hooked toward the sun remains flesh and blood where Xu Qing was. Instantly, a wisp of blood energy dispersed from the flesh and blood, gathering in front of the old man's brush tip, as if becoming paint and ink. After dipping a few times, he painted rapidly on the side.

With a few strokes, the outline of a body roughly took shape.

After noticing this scene, the divine finger's irritability calmed down a bit, transmitting intense longing, ignoring the surroundings, and all its divine sense gathered on the outline of the body painted by the old man Danqing.

"Chosen master, you can merge your divine sense in. As I paint, you will gradually produce fusion with this body from the beginning. This is a method I specifically thought of for you, Master, during this time, which can greatly increase the success rate and reduce rejection."

The old man Danqing spoke rapidly. I don't know if it was due to the consumption of painting, or to highlight his efforts, his body changed violently at this moment, no longer the elegant appearance of the past, but his eyes revealed madness, disheveled hair, and he revealed his true form.

The divine finger instantly merged its divine sense into the body outline. As the old man Danqing painted, this fusion became deeper and deeper, and the body also slowly became clear.

Watching this scene, Xu Qing was incomparably anxious in his heart. He knew he didn't have much time left. Once the old man Danqing finished painting the body, the subsequent results would be completely out of control.

Especially since he didn't trust that old man Danqing. The other party's cooperation before was clearly intentional. Although the specific purpose was unknown, it was ultimately malicious.

"Must complete the Jin Wu's advancement before this old man finishes painting." Xu Qing gritted his teeth, checking his Jin Wu's one-hundredth tail. This last tail was crucial. The speed of its formation now was not very fast, and now it was only half-formed. "Faster!" Xu Qing roared in his heart.

The Jin Wu also felt Xu Qing's anxiety, and was similarly urgent, crazily absorbing the sun remains flesh and blood, and even refining and swallowing those Yanmiao Clan members that had merged in but hadn't been completely melted.

Just like that, a stick of incense's time passed.

The scene here, looking from afar, was extremely eerie.

An old man with disheveled hair and bite marks all over his body was painting crazily with red eyes. What he painted was actually a body several hundred feet in size.

This body now had its bones finished, and flesh and blood were forming, looking incomparably eerie and shocking.

It radiated solar fluctuations, especially as the divine finger's divine sense merged in, there was also divine power spreading within, and the sense of revival was earth-shattering.

On the sun corpse remains in the distance, Xu Qing closed his eyes, motionless, but the sun flesh and blood where he was withered on a large scale.

This withering was, on one hand, Xu Qing's absorption, and on the other hand, the old man Danqing using it to paint.

Further away, the stone lion dragging the head was moving outward cautiously. Soon it touched the restrictions and couldn't charge out, feeling terrified in its heart.

"These two guys are consuming each other. This is the rhythm of throwing the black pot to each other, right? I saw... oh my god, too terrifying, my eyes are blind!"

As the head revealed strange light in its eyes, launching its ability to see what the future would be like, but with just one glance, it wailed in its heart.

"All dead, all dead..." The head was about to cry. It felt why it was so unlucky, and even started to miss the time in the Prison Department. At this moment, the Jin Wu in Xu Qing's body finally formed the one-hundredth tail completely.

In an instant, the Jin Wu was clearly exhilarated. Its body wanted to radiate flames, its wings wanted to stretch, wanting to charge toward the celestial dome and let out a hiss, but was immediately curbed by Xu Qing!

As if its neck was pinched.

The Jin Wu could only return obediently into Xu Qing's body, entering his fifth Tiangong.

Xu Qing's fifth Tiangong was formed by Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits. At this moment, following the Jin Wu's return, its shape changed violently, no longer the appearance of a Jin Wu, but transformed into a young figure.

This young man wore an imperial robe and an imperial crown. His appearance was exactly Xu Qing, but his body was not composed of flesh and blood, but a... Dao Infant permeated with infinite magic power and Jin Wu Dao.

Although it was still blurry and just a prototype, the moment it appeared, a fluctuation far exceeding the Tiangong Golden Core erupted from within this fifth Tiangong.

The violent fluctuation filled Xu Qing's sea of consciousness. As the Jin Wu advanced to the third stage, this fifth Tiangong could no longer be called a Tiangong.

It transformed into a warm bed containing the Dao Infant!

To some extent, this palace was the Nascent Soul realm. It was just that because Xu Qing's other Heavenly Palaces hadn't reached this step, so at this time, his realm was... False Nascent Soul!

And the improvement in combat power was also earth-shaking. Xu Qing felt the restrictions of the void, which were composed of countless transparent chains. He felt the subtle changes in divine power in the surroundings, which were the shadows of countless tiny worms.

He even felt the aura contained within the body transformed by the old man Danqing, which contained rebirth. Before, he couldn't perceive it in detail, but now, with one sweep, it was incomparably clear.

This was because the essence of his perception had undergone a transformation, giving birth to divine sense!

Divine sense was something only Nascent Soul cultivators could possess. It was the power transformed after the Dao Infant and the soul merged, and it was the foundation for performing supernatural powers. Before Nascent Soul, techniques were just techniques.

After Nascent Soul, above techniques, there were supernatural powers.

Not only that, as the Jin Wu successfully advanced to the third stage, a massive nourishing power also erupted from within the fifth Tiangong, feeding back to Xu Qing.

This was the manifestation of Jin Wu Refining Ten Thousand Spirits itself. Every time after swallowing, it would feed back. But this time, its feedback power was unprecedented, surpassing everything in the past.

Amidst the rumbling, Xu Qing's physical body was refined again. While becoming more and more powerful, because this feedback was too large, it merged into other Heavenly Palaces from the physical body, even bringing his ninth Tiangong to be concretized rapidly.

Before this, Xu Qing's first Tiangong was the Black Umbrella Lamp, the second was the Seven-Colored Wind Chant Lamp, the third was the Poison Prohibition Pill, the fourth was the Purple Moon Palace, the fifth was the Imperial Grade Technique, the sixth was the Heavenly Dao Cang Dragon, the seventh was the Ghost Emperor Mountain Sitting Town, and the eighth was the Underworld Blood Pool Lamp.

This ninth Tiangong had already been half-completed back at the Ten-Intestine Tree. Now, under this feedback power, it was concretized to seventy percent, eighty percent, ninety percent...

Until a stick of incense's time later, the ninth Tiangong was completed to ninety-nine percent, only missing the suppression object. "Suppression object... Jin Wu, spit light!"

Xu Qing's mind turned rapidly. His divine sense descended immediately into the fifth Tiangong. The Jin Wu Dao Infant within opened its eyes, revealing seven-colored light. The next instant, it opened its mouth and spat out a light directly.

That was Zhaoxia Light.

This light flashed and headed straight for the ninth Tiangong.

The moment it merged, the ninth Tiangong immediately became a seven-colored palace, crystal clear, with rosy clouds shining brightly. Within it, one could clearly see that the merged Zhaoxia Light had transformed into a light ball. Faintly, there seemed to exist a giant life form like a phoenix or a roc, sleeping within.

The sun that fell here was not a Jin Wu, but another kind of life form. As for why Xu Qing's Jin Wu could swallow it, it was because they were of the same origin in essence.

At this moment, following the formation of the ninth Tiangong, as Zhaoxia Light sat in town, Xu Qing's cultivation base broke through!

While his combat power soared crazily, he discovered that the feedback from the Jin Wu hadn't ended. His tenth Tiangong was actually forming!

Xu Qing's heart was shaken, infinite longing rising in his heart. He opened his eyes to look at the old man Danqing and the divine finger.

The fluctuations for himself were earth-shaking changes, but this was his own business. For that divine finger, the most important thing was the body, so it didn't pay attention to Xu Qing even if it sensed it, but wholeheartedly merged its divine sense into the body constantly.

The old man Danqing noticed Xu Qing's changes, his eyes flashing slightly. He pretended not to see and continued to paint.

The body he transformed was now half-formed. The divine power within was becoming more and more astonishing, constantly spreading in all eight directions, making the blurring and twisting here even more intense, and even forming a storm, spreading rumblingly toward the surroundings.

Watching this scene, Xu Qing made a decision in his heart.

"Fleeing now, once that old man stops painting, using the excuse of lacking paint for my departure, he can likely drive the divine finger..."

"So now is not the time to flee. Must wait for the moment of the finger's fusion!"

Xu Qing remained calm, letting himself settle down, while waiting, while operating the nourishing power fed back by the Jin Wu within his body, pouring it all into the tenth Tiangong.

As for the tenth Tiangong, once the concretization was completed, he had already thought of the required suppression object. "This time, merge the purple crystal, gamble on it!"

Two-in-one ===== CHAPTER 483 =====

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing made a decision in his heart.

"If I escape now, once that old man stops painting, he will likely use my lack of paint as an excuse to drive the divine finger..."

"So, now is not the time to flee. I must wait for the moment the finger merges!"

Xu Qing remained calm, letting himself settle down. While waiting, he circulated the nourishing power fed back by the Jin Wu, pouring it all into the Tenth Tiangong.

As for the object needed to preside over the Tenth Tiangong once its manifestation was complete, he had already thought of it. "This time, I will merge the purple crystal and take a gamble!"

Two-in-one.
