Chapter 1078: The Road to Immortality

Almost at the moment when the wishing mask appeared.

In another fragment space, Emperor Dark Feather, who was cooperating with the Dark Flame clone to restrain the Empress, seemed to have sensed something. His expression changed, and he abruptly turned his head to look at the place where Xu Qing was.

His mind began to rumble at this moment.

Of course he knew what that mask was!

Over the years, in order to find this mask, he had almost searched the entire Holy Land of Dark Feather, but as the black-robed man said, this mask... could not be found.

The more one wanted to find it, the more often it was impossible to find.

"It's with him!"

Emperor Dark Feather's breathing was rapid, his body moved, and he was about to divide his strength to try to plunder it, but at this moment... the Empress, who was restrained by him and the Dark Flame clone, revealed a cold light in her eyes.

With a single step, he reversed everything. He went from being restricted to restricting his opponent in an instant.

Emperor Dark Feather was unable to leave.

And on the other side, as Xu Qing's wishing words reverberated, the corners of the mouth of the mask in front of him curled up, and the smile became all that was on the mask's face, looking more and more strange.

There was also an indistinct voice that spread throughout this world.

"The wish is fulfilled."

The smile of the mask became more and more strange, and before it finished speaking, it turned into flying ashes in the wind and dissipated.

The moment it dissipated, Xu Qing's body also rumbled at this moment. An indescribable power, beyond the gods, beyond the cultivators, beyond the stars, beyond the universe, descended at this moment.

It turned into a wisp of aura that blew on Xu Qing's body.

The next moment, nothingness disintegrated, and all things separated.

Everything was unstoppable, and could not be stopped.

Xu Qing's body shook, and his body began to disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye.

First was the face of the body. The flesh and blood seemed to have lost its adhesion to the whole, peeling off in the process of decomposition, and turned into a sheet of crystal light.

Then the half of the body that was composed of blood threads, under this irresistible decomposition force, first collapsed, then shattered, and finally turned into a sheet of crystal light.

Until the other half of the body also collapsed under this unimaginable power of wishing...

The vitality of the body and everything else had completely dissipated.

It was as if the substance that supported life had been taken away at this moment, so the flesh and blood and everything else could not become a whole. Under this shocking power, everything had turned back to its original state.

And that crystal light was formed by countless tiny transparent crystals that were invisible to the naked eye.

These crystals had no color. The color of the outside world was their color.

That was because the impurities within it had been wiped away, and the remnant consciousness within it had also been shattered.

What was broken down now was the origin of life.

It was also the most primitive origin!

As for Xu Qing's soul, it floated within the crystalline light. As his Divine Will spread out, the countless tiny crystals circled around him and collided with each other …

After absorbing Xu Qing's color and aura, it finally released the spark of life that belonged to Xu Qing.

Within those sparks were Xu Qing's memories, the passage of time, the transformations of space, and the intertwining of Daoist magics. Based on Xu Qing's soul, they emanated the soul essence of his life force.

It was also a guide.

Light.

Almost at the same time that Xu Qing sent out his Divine Sense, the blue worms shone with blue light and a speck of dust flew out from their foreheads.

According to Xu Qing's soul origin, he guided the crystals to reconstruct Xu Qing's body.

Normally, this process would be slow and would be considered as creating something out of nothing.

Therefore, Xu Qing's soul suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the huge cauldron in midair, and the large number of blue worms that were circling and refining it.

"Eldest Senior Brother, give me my remains."

The light converged together and formed Bone Gold!

This Bone Gold was the last remnant of Xu Qing's body when he self-destructed back then.

It was also his essence of life force!

At this moment, the moment it returned and merged with Xu Qing's soul, the physical body that he wanted to reconstruct had even more perfect conditions.

In an instant, under the guidance of his soul, the countless tiny crystals around him went straight to the Bone Gold and became nourishment. With the power of the origin of life, this Bone Gold … began to grow!

It was done!

In the end, in the midst of Er Niu's excitement, and under the witness of the world, a body that Xu Qing was extremely familiar with appeared …

Gradually, it became a piece of bone.

Slowly, it became a whole set of bones.

Then, meridians appeared, flesh and blood appeared, and skin appeared … Bright fire!

He had a tall figure, fluttering purple hair, and a handsome face that was incomparably perfect.

As for his aura, he was neither an immortal nor a god, but a mortal!

The most primitive mortal!

He was like a newborn baby.

A sense of purity filled the air.

A sense of purity was contained within.

Xu Qing's soul was incomparably integrated within. His perception told him that this … was his own physical body.

His soul told him that this … was his most comfortable state.

Xu Qing opened his eyes.

A sense of rebirth, accompanied by a long-lost desire to return, rose in Xu Qing's heart.

"This is my true body. As for the flesh and blood of the Upper Desolate Realm, it's the avatar of a god."

Xu Qing murmured, then looked up.

He didn't look at the bone cauldron that was being refined, nor did he look at where the Empress was. At this moment, his eyes were only fixed on the crystal light around him.

The reconstruction of the physical body had only consumed half of the original life source that came from the body of Dark Flame.

And this physical body had no cultivation at this moment.

Therefore, the idea that had been circling around in his mind all these years had the possibility of being implemented at this moment.

"I've already walked the path of Immortal and Divine One. There are too many restrictions, and my growth is slow. There are shackles at every step.

"Therefore, this path shouldn't be taken like this.

"If possible, I must take back the avatar of a god … and use the avatar to walk the path of a pure god.

"As for my true body, I must walk … the path of a pure immortal!

"That's the path that belongs to me!"

Spiritual Qi.

Suddenly, the tiny crystals around him that were emitting the original source rushed straight toward him and instantly merged into his body, turning into pure

Come.

For other cultivators, the tenth level was the limit of the Qi Condensation Realm, but Xu Qing's physical body was reconstructed with the help of the original source.

Xu Qing's eyes were resolute, and without any hesitation, he suddenly inhaled.

As the spiritual energy flowed through his meridians, his mortal body was pushed forward, and he entered the realm of Cultivation.

The first level of the Qi Condensation Realm!

In the blink of an eye, as the original source merged into his body, his cultivation level rose at an incredible speed.

He directly reached the tenth level of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Therefore, the limit of others was not his limit.

In an instant, he reached the nineteenth level!

Then, he broke through and stepped into the Foundation Establishment realm.

All 121 Dharma Apertures were opened in an instant. Then, there were still 26 Dharma Apertures hidden in his body that were directly opened by the Origin Source Energy.

This was unprecedented!

Amidst the rumbling, 147 Dharma apertures shone brightly on Xu Qing's body, forming a Life Fire. (P.S. In the original text there are 137, possibly an error by the author)

Not five flames, but nine flames!

Next, under the nine flames, Xu Qing's Life Lantern appeared.

Life Lanterns were formed by one's bloodline. Xu Qing's Life Lantern was in the shape of a sundial. Now that it had appeared one by one, it supported the Life Flames, causing the flames to fill the sky.

This scene caused Er Niu's heart to tremble.

He had lived for so many lifetimes, but he had never seen anything like this.

"But I think I've heard about it before … There's an Ultimate Immortal Path in the Deep Earth Star Ring …

Even as Erniu was shaken, Xu Qing's cultivation base continued to climb.

Nine flames erupted and rose into the sky.

According to the legends of the Deep Earth, there were thirty-three layers of heaven.

And now, that legend had become reality in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness.

Thirty-three Heavenly Palaces materialized, becoming corporeal. Inside each of the Heavenly Palaces sat cross-legged, shining with silver light: Nascent Souls.

They were like immortals.

Xu Qing's every step was the pinnacle.

This was the Path of Pure Immortality he wanted to walk, the Path of Ultimate Immortality that Erniu had spoken of.

As for the Spirit Treasury after the Nascent Soul stage, it was pushed to the peak by the most primordial crystallization.

The Nine Great Spirit Treasures began to erupt like nine vast, towering volcanoes.

Rumbling sounds spread out from Xu Qing's body in all directions.

However, if one looked closely, they would see that although the Nine Great Spirit Treasures were erupting like furnaces, their insides were empty.

There were no divine abilities or Daoist magics.

Xu Qing was silent as he recalled all the divine abilities he had in his life. With a thought, a dandelion appeared in one of the Spirit Treasures.

This dandelion was branded with a divine ability whose source Xu Qing had grasped!

It was …

Fishing the Moon in the Well!

"The essence of Fishing the Moon in the Well … is the transformation of reality and illusion. It's creating something from nothing. It's the Dao of Space.

"With this, I'll brand my Spirit Treasury secret technique.

"As for the second one …"

As Xu Qing's thoughts spun, he suddenly sensed something and stared at the dandelion in which Fishing the Moon in the Well was located.

At this moment, the dandelion began to overlap and rapidly split into countless dandelions that floated in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness.

Xu Qing's heart sank when he saw the sudden appearance of the dandelions.

At the same time, a woman's voice, filled with vicissitudes and ancientness, was transmitted to Xu Qing's sea of consciousness through the illusory dandelions.

"There's no need to be surprised. This is my divine sense transmitted to you through a secret technique.

"You've finally set foot on the Path of Ultimate Immortality of the Deep Earth. Back then, I gave you ten breaths of time to comprehend the Dao of Deep Earth. Today, in accordance with the ancient agreement, I'll give anyone who sets foot on the Path of Ultimate Immortality of the Deep Earth thirty breaths of fate.

"There's a Dao in the Deep Earth called the Eight Extremities. If you're fated, you can obtain it. (P.S. The same Eight Extremes Dao that Wang Baole used)

"That's all I have to say."

The voice gradually faded away.

........

At the same time, outside the Holy Land of Dark Feather, in a bustling area within the human imperial capital of the Wanggu Continent, there was an ancient temple.

It stood there, but the people who came and went couldn't sense it at all, as if it didn't exist in reality.

At this moment, an old man was leaving the temple.

His back was bleak.

As for the Palace Master of the Summer Immortal Palace, who Xu Qing had seen here before, she was sitting cross-legged with a sorrowful expression as she stared at the departing figure.

A small butterfly fluttered beside her and asked in confusion.

"Master, who's that old man? And why are you helping that guy I hate? And why do you look so sad?"

The Palace Master of the Summer Immortal Palace sighed softly.

"He's my old friend, and the world is about to change. I don't know if his umbrella can hold on …"
