Xu Qing looked at the fingers in the three bubbles and then lifted his head to look at the captain.
The captain looked sincere.
“Little Qing, how is it? Our gains this time are good, right? Haha.”
Xu Qing didn’t speak. The cultivation base in his body instantly circulated and his aura erupted. A secret repository appeared behind him, causing the wind and clouds to surge and the surroundings to tremble.
His eyes instantly turned pitch-black. As the Poison Restriction spread out, the sun and moon rose and fell in the secret repository. The mosasaur Heavenly Dao roared inside, forming a sea of heat.
The furnace was burning.
In an instant, invisible nomological threads spread out from the secret repository and lingered around Xu Qing.
These were the laws and rules of his secret repository world. As they spread out, they enveloped the place he was at, forming a battlefield that belonged to him.
Xu Qing’s body emitted the intent of the Heavenly Dao.
This wasn’t the end. Anomalous substances also grew in the surroundings at this moment. That was the aura of the Poison Restriction, rapidly transforming this place.When the captain saw this, he felt a little timid but on the surface, he glared.
“Little Qing, you don’t believe your senior brother?”
As he spoke, the captain’s cultivation base also erupted and a secret repository rose behind him.
His secret repository was different from Xu Qing’s. It didn’t contain a world but was pitch-black like hell. There were also intimidating roars echoing inside, forming the power of laws that belonged to him that spread in all directions, engaging in intangible confrontation with Xu Qing’s laws.
“Little Qing, looks like I have to establish my dignity as the Eldest Senior Brother.” The captain waved his hand, and blue light flashed in his eyes.
Xu Qing’s outburst continued. The Purple Moon in the secret repository shone and slowly rose. The Purple Moon hung high in this area and as its light spread, it wasn’t usual beams of light but rather… strands of purple worms.
These worms blotted out the sky and covered the earth. Sometimes, they revealed their true forms, and sometimes, they transformed into moonlight.
When they landed on the captain’s body, the captain’s heart trembled. His blue light was being scattered by the purple light. However, when he thought of how he was the eldest senior brother, the captain instantly gained new motivation. Faces appeared in his eyes, and the eyes of those faces reflected more faces.
Layer after layer, all emitting blue light, causing his entire body to shine brightly. Simultaneously, his figure underwent transformations, giving rise to blue worms, each of them showing a keen desire in their eyes as they wriggled.
“Little Qing, it’s been a long time since the two of us fought. The last time was on the Forbidden Sea. Come, come, come. Whoever loses this time will…”
Just as the captain said this, monstrous thunder rang out from Xu Qing’s body. As purple light erupted, he lifted his right hand and pointed at the sky.
The direction he pointed in was none other than the god’s fragmented-face.
This scene was similar to the action and aura he had used to summon the fragmented-face in the purple crystal in the Moon Palace. It was as though he was really going to summon It again.
Although there was no longer the fragmented-face image in his purple crystal…
However, the captain was clearly uncertain. At that moment, the captain’s eyelids trembled and his heart trembled violently. He swallowed the words he wanted to say. After blinking, the captain laughed.
“Junior Brother, don’t be rash. Eldest Senior Brother remembered wrongly, cough cough.”
As he spoke, the captain quickly lifted his hand and took out three more bloody feathers.
“It’s six fingers, not three.”
The purple light on Xu Qing’s body grew even denser.
The captain’s heart raced and he felt even less confident. Hence, his expression was solemn as he took out three more feathers from his storage bag.
“Cough, forget it, forget it. Little Qing, that’s really all.”
The captain sighed and retracted all his cultivation as he looked at Xu Qing helplessly.
The aura on Xu Qing’s body slowly dissipated until Purple Moon returned to the secret repository. The secret repository then faded and everything in the surroundings returned to normal.
Seeing this, the captain relaxed and looked smug. He thought to himself, ‘Little Qing, oh Little Qing, you’re still too inexperienced.’
Although this was what he thought in his heart, on the surface, the captain looked helpless as he spoke in a low voice.
“Little Qing, take 70% of these. Eldest Senior Brother was wrong. He shouldn’t have been greedy.”
Xu Qing didn’t speak. He silently looked at the captain. After some thought, his gaze gradually changed, revealing a hint of unfamiliarity. There was also a hint of loneliness on him at this moment.
His gaze and expression caused the captain’s heart to clench.
“Eldest Senior Brother…” Xu Qing said softly. This was the first thing he said from the start to the end.
When the captain heard this, his body trembled.
“I don’t want them anymore, Eldest Senior Brother,” Xu Qing mumbled.
“You can take them all.”
“I miss Fenghai County. I’ll go back first.”
Xu Qing’s voice was a little hoarse. After he finished speaking, he turned and walked into the distance. A lonely sensation spread from his body, giving off a sense of bleakness.
The captain couldn’t tell that this scene was somewhat similar to the move he had used on Xu Qing in the past…
At that moment, he looked at Xu Qing’s back view and intense waves rose in his heart. He also felt endless guilt. He felt that he had indeed gone too far. He could be greedy to anyone but why did he have to do this to his junior brother?
Although this was an instinctive reaction of his personality, when he saw Xu Qing’s current appearance, the captain stomped his feet fiercely and hurriedly shouted.
“Junior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother was wrong.”
As he spoke, the captain raised his hand and waved it. Immediately, a mountain formed by bloody feathers landed on the ground.
A terrifying divine might rose from within. Compared to the six small feathers that the captain had taken out previously, this mountain was extremely vast and was enough to shock people.
“30%. This is 30% of Crimson Goddess’ body. It’s all here. As usual, we’ll each take half!”
The captain threw caution to the wind and spoke loudly.
Xu Qing stopped in his tracks and adjusted his expression. He slowly turned around and looked at his eldest senior brother. His gaze was sincere and touched as he spoke softly.
“Eldest Senior Brother!”
The captain heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly called Xu Qing over to distribute the spoils.
Very soon, the two of them separated the pieces of flesh feathers into two. The captain then gave Xu Qing a special storage bag to store them.
The flesh and blood of a god weren’t something that ordinary objects could contain. And from the texture of the captain’s leather pouch, it looked very much like his own skin…
Looking at these gains, Xu Qing was excited. He was very satisfied with the items he finally obtained after many years in the Moon Offering Region.
Sensing the change in Xu Qing’s emotions, suspicion rose in the captain’s heart and he couldn’t help but ask.
“Junior Brother, were you acting earlier? Why do I feel that that scene is a little familiar…”
When Xu Qing heard this, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked into the captain’s eyes seriously as he shook his head.
The captain hesitated. He still felt that something was wrong. After blinking, he thought to himself that he could do it too. Hence, he put on a lonely expression and was about to speak.
A bitter expression appeared on Xu Qing’s face.
The two of them looked at each other in silence.
After a long time, the captain sighed and coughed.
“Little Qing, you’ve learned bad things… Forget it, forget it. Let’s get down to business. Our gains aren’t just these; there’s one more thing.”
As the captain spoke, he instinctively looked around and spoke in a low voice.
“These are the gains from Crimson Goddess, but there’s also one from Li Zihua. He promised to grant us a Divine World when he returns in the future!”
When Xu Qing heard this, his eyes instantly narrowed.
“Divine World?”
“Divine World!”
The captain nodded seriously.
Xu Qing originally believed him but when he viewed the captain’s serious expression, he couldn’t be sure. However, he didn’t fuss over it and communicated with the captain in a friendly manner.
In the end, Xu Qing didn’t want the parts of Crimson Goddess’ clone, Zhang Siyun, but he took the remaining section of Zhang Siyun’s purple thorn crown.
The captain was very satisfied with this allocation.
After the distribution of the spoils was over, the captain was in high spirits. He raised his brows and winked at Xu Qing.
“Little Qing, the matters in the Moon Offering Region are about done. Wait for me for a few days. Although my ex-wife didn’t reply to my message, I know that She hasn’t left yet. I’ll go and catch up with Her.”
“When I return, we’ll return to Fenghai!”
The captain licked his lips as though there was some heat in his heart. He then waved at Xu Qing and quickly left.
Looking at the captain’s figure, Xu Qing sat cross-legged.
This area had the seals of the two of them and the captain’s blood. It was suitable for Xu Qing to enter seclusion. Moreover, the Moon Offering Region was extremely safe under the protection of the heir and the others.
Hence, Xu Qing didn’t look for another place. At that moment, he lowered his head and looked at the small section of purple thorn crown in his palm. The purple light from it was almost identical to the light from his purple crystal.
The most important thing was that when he held the thorn, the purple crystal in his body clearly emitted fluctuations.
“It should be an item of the same origin.”
Xu Qing mumbled inwardly as determination appeared in his eyes. He then utilized all his might to activate the purple crystal.
In an instant, purple light erupted from Xu Qing’s entire body, enveloping the surroundings and drowning his figure. At the same time, the purple thorn in his hand also glowed and fused with it.
At the next instant, the purple light dissipated. Xu Qing lowered his head and gazed at his empty right hand. A strange glint appeared in his eyes as he sensed his purple crystal.
The purple crystal, seemingly not much different from before, had one distinct feature — inside the crystal, instead of the usual wispy mist, there was now a vortex.
This vortex spun silently and led to an unknown place.
Xu Qing didn’t understand this change in the purple crystal. He fused his divine consciousness into it and tried to take a look but this vortex was infinitely deep. No matter how Xu Qing’s divine consciousness extended inside, he still couldn’t reach the end.
However, during this process of probing, Xu Qing sensed danger.
It was as though some gazes were looking at him from the end of the vortex.
Xu Qing fell silent and ultimately chose to retract his divine consciousness. He didn’t act rashly.
After that, he grabbed a deep breath and took out the leather pouch his captain had given him. His gaze was sharp and his expression was solemn.
“The flesh and blood of Crimson Goddess is a great tonic for gods. It’s also a great fortune for me.”
“In that case, how much help will placing this flesh in the secret repository and letting it be absorbed by the Heavenly Dao Furnace be to my cultivation?”
Intense anticipation rose in Xu Qing’s heart. After experiencing the incident in the Moon Offering Region, especially after witnessing everything with his own eyes and participating to a certain extent in the battle of the gods…
All of this caused Xu Qing to have even more determination in becoming stronger.
This was especially so since… the words the fourth prince had spoke to him before he died had been echoing in Xu Qing’s mind.
“Could my past be your future…”
Xu Qing fell silent. The secret repository behind him rumbled and manifested as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Only by becoming stronger would he have the qualifications to find and kill Crown Prince Purple Green.
Only by becoming stronger would he have the ability to explore the secrets of this world and see the truth.
Only by becoming stronger would he have the confidence to reverse everything!
Xu Qing raised his hand and threw the leather pouch into the secret repository!
