Chapter 448: 448 The Ancestor Is Anxious

448 The Ancestor Is Anxious

Xu Qing stood in the air and looked at all of this. A huge commotion was stirring in his mind.

It was only after a long time that he took a deep breath and made a grabbing gesture. Immediately, the anomalous substances produced here headed straight for him. They surrounded his palm and formed airflows that swam around it.

Looking at the fog formed by the black anomalous substances outside his palm, Xu Qing still felt some disbelief.

This was unexpected but after careful thought, it seemed reasonable.

!!

This was because the Poison Restriction Pill was refined by that almighty cultivator after he fought with a mysterious expert from the Divine Realm. The expert inflicted the almighty with Poison Restriction before he died. The almighty cultivator had to go through all kinds of torture to refine the poison.

As such, the source of the Poison Restriction Pill was actually the cultivator from the Divine Realm.

As for the Divine Realm…

Xu Qing looked at the sky.

At that moment, the sky was filled with black clouds. Only the sky within 5000 feet of him melted, forming a large gap.

Through the gap, Xu Qing looked at the bright moon outside. He also saw a corner of the god’s fragmented face that was faintly discernible under the moonlight.

“When the god looks at a place once, it will turn into a forbidden zone. If He looks at it twice, it will turn into a forbidden region. Thrice and it becomes a Divine Realm!”

The Wanggu Continent was vast. To be able to make the god open His eyes and look at the same location three times was naturally very rare.

“Does the Divine Realm grasp the power of the god? Also, the god specimen of the Illuminate is also related to exploring the power of the god.”

Xu Qing mumbled. At that moment, he clearly understood that the greatest might of his Poison Restriction Pill might not be poison but as a key.

The key to opening the god’s gate.

“Did that almighty back then know about this?”

Xu Qing fell silent. In his opinion, there were still some unanswered questions about this matter but he lacked many necessary clues and couldn’t analyze it thoroughly.

However, no matter what, the value of this Poison Restriction Pill was astonishing. Xu Qing had already deeply understood this point.

He also understood how tempting an item that possessed a certain amount of god’s power was to the outside world. Once this matter was exposed, he probably wouldn’t be able to keep it.

Xu Qing didn’t want to challenge human nature. Hence, he listed the god’s power contained in his Poison Restriction Pill as his deepest secret that was on the same level as the purple crystal.

“I’m good at the Dao of Poison and killing with poison won’t arouse suspicion, so using the poison of this Poison Restriction Pill is a good cover.”

After Xu Qing fell silent, he sensed his current combat strength. Right now, the three Heavenly Palaces in his sea of consciousness were shining. Coupled with his emperor-level cultivation art, he already possessed the combat strength of four palaces.

If he used poison, Xu Qing was confident that he could fight more powerful experts. As for the god’s power born after he displayed the poison to the extreme… Xu Qing thought about it. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he definitely couldn’t use this power.

At the thought of this, Xu Qing took out a large number of black pills and quickly threw them in the 5000 feet range.

As the black pills exploded, the anomalous substances from 5,000 feet away were pulled over, permeating this place and scattering the anomalous substances born from Xu Qing.

The black clouds in the sky slowly churned and recovered, as though nothing had happened earlier.

The ground was also filled with anomalous substances again. Only the bare ground bore witness to the terrifying poison.

Xu Qing looked at all of this but was still a little worried. He threw out a few more black pills.

It was only when the anomalous substances here were extremely dense and Xu Qing sensed that the anomalous substances born from him had completely dissipated that he felt at ease. He then turned and left.

On the way back, Xu Qing looked at the shadow under his feet and the black iron stick many times.

His gaze caused the shadow and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor to tremble.

The former instinctively felt some danger. As for the latter… with how shrewd he was, how could the Diamond Sect’s ancestor not know the reason? Hence, when Xu Qing looked at him for the seventh time, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor immediately manifested.

With a plop, he knelt on the ground.

“Master, I implore you to help me.”

Xu Qing didn’t say anything and looked over coldly.

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor had a loyal expression and his eyes revealed fanaticism. He looked at Xu Qing as though he was looking at a god. This was the gaze he had secretly learned after seeing Night Dove back then.

“Master, I’m worried that I’ll be captured one day. When they realize that I won’t reveal any of Master’s secrets even if I die, they might use a special method to search my soul. Although it would not be with my will, even if I expose the slightest bit, I’ll feel extreme guilt. It’s fine if I die, but I can’t expose Master’s secrets.”

“Therefore, I implore Master to leave an extermination seal in my mind. It doesn’t matter how vicious or serious it is. This way, if such an extreme situation really happens in the future, as long as someone searches my soul, my mind will self-destruct and the enemies will gain nothing.”

“Even if I die, I’ll still have a smile on my way to the netherworld, knowing that I was loyal to Master!”

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor patted his chest and spoke fanatically.

This was actually where he was smart. He was very clear about Xu Qing’s personality and also knew that it was useless to make guarantees at this moment. It was also useless to make an oath. Even he wouldn’t believe it, let alone Demon Xu.

Hence, when he directly pointed it out, it allowed him to express his loyalty as well.

This was his little scheme. He felt that there was a high chance that this would dissipate Demon Xu’s doubts.

Moreover, there was a certain chance that Demon Xu didn’t know of a seal like this. Otherwise, he would have used it long ago.

He had a faint feeling that everything he saw today might become an opportunity for him to obtain freedom in the future.

This thought was very dangerous, so the moment it appeared, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor shuddered.

Xu Qing cast a deep glance at the Diamond Sect’s ancestor and calmly spoke.

“There’s no need for the seal. I believe in you. At worst, when you’re captured alive, I’ll send you off to fulfill your loyalty. Also, your current combat strength is only comparable to three fires. It’s a little weak.”

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor’s body trembled and he was terrified.

The dangerous thought that had risen earlier instantly dissipated amidst his horror. Xu Qing’s gaze made him feel as though the other party had seen through his thoughts. He felt extremely nervous and regretful.

He felt that he hadn’t thought things through this time. He shouldn’t have asked Demon Xu to seal him.

As an artifact spirit, how could he only ask questions and not give a truly feasible solution?

Such an artifact spirit wasn’t a good artifact spirit.

He should take the initiative to seal himself to express his loyalty.

...

‘I was too careless. This Demon Xu is much more wise and farsighted than before. I have to consider everything thoroughly in the future.’

At the thought of this, the Diamond Sect’s ancestor tried to salvage the situation.

“Master, I… I think I can break through!”

Xu Qing raised his brows. He didn’t see any signs of the Diamond Sect’s ancestor being on the verge of breaking through. At the same time, emotions rapidly fluctuated from the shadow.

“I… live… die together… also breakthrough!”

Xu Qing glanced at the shadow and nodded. With a sway of his body, he changed his direction. He no longer sped toward the depths but searched for a suitable place for them to break through.

Not long later, Xu Qing found a canyon.

The interior and exterior of this canyon were filled with strange sawtooth vegetation. The leaves were extremely large; some were drooping, some were bent, and some were squirming. One could see the corpses of small beasts melting inside.

However, with Xu Qing’s arrival, all the vegetation inside and outside the canyon instinctively retracted their branches and leaves, not daring to spread out at all.

Xu Qing frowned. He didn’t like this feeling. It was too ostentatious.

Hence, as he pondered, he restrained the poisonous aura of the third Heavenly Palace. When he had restrained it to the limits, the vegetation 100 feet away relaxed. However, it was still the same within 100 feet.

...

This was caused by the level of the poison pill and also because Xu Qing had just fused it. He still needed some time to get used to it before he could control it better.

Xu Qing’s body swayed as he headed straight for the canyon. After checking, he lifted his right hand and waved it. Immediately, the black iron stick flew out and headed straight for the rock wall. It quickly dug a hole there.

This cave was dug very deep and it extended underground.

Xu Qing checked and confirmed that there was nothing wrong before entering the cave.

With a wave of his hand, countless rubble flew over and filled the cave entrance. After that, he headed straight for the depths.

He made arrangements in the surroundings before sitting down. He then took out an oil lantern and lit it.

As the fire that contained spirit qi shone on Xu Qing’s face, he calmly spoke.

“Which one of you will go first?”

“I… first…” After the shadow impatiently transmitted the fluctuations, it spread out from Xu Qing’s side and arrived on the wall not far away.

Xu Qing looked over.

The shadow on the wall transformed into the appearance of a large tree. The densely-packed hundred eyes on it opened at the same time and looked at Xu Qing.

“Mas… Pill… Eat…”

Xu Qing waved his hand and the bottles and jars he had obtained from Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s cave abode instantly flew out.

These were all parts that didn’t contain vitality after Xu Qing checked and filtered them. However, some of their effects seemed to be very useful to the shadow.

Previously, when he saw it in Spirit Venerable Nether Fairy’s cave abode, the shadow had already emitted a clear fluctuation of desire.

As soon as the bottles flew out, the shadow’s eyes blinked in unison. Immediately, these bottles and jars exploded along with the pills in them. A dense fog made of various pills headed straight for the shadow on the wall.

The shadow trembled as it absorbed the fog. At the same time, a large amount of anomalous substances seeped in from the surroundings and fused into the shadow.

Under the shadow’s absorption, more and more anomalous substances were drawn in.

This place was in the forbidden region and the anomalous substances were extremely dense, so a vortex quickly formed around the shadow.

As the vortex continued to spin, the shadow’s body became increasingly blurry. In the end, its figure completely disappeared and fused into the vortex.

Although it had disappeared, a terrifying energy fluctuation spread out from the vortex.

The strength of this fluctuation rapidly surpassed the Foundation Building realm and was advancing to the Golden Core realm.

There was also the sound of thumping heartbeats, causing one to instinctively feel uneasy. There seemed to be a new life form brewing and transforming in the vortex.

Xu Qing stared at it. He thought of the performance after the shadow advanced last time and wondered if there would be a rebellion this time as well. Hence, he was prepared to completely suppress it.

As for the Diamond Sect’s ancestor, his heart was palpitating as he watched all of this. He was extremely anxious and an intense sense of danger rose in his mind.

“This aura… Little Shadow, Little Shadow, is there a need to go this far? What am I supposed to do?!”
