Chapter 1197: You are so bad, little brother

Time passed slowly.

In the Nine Shores Heaven, a month passed in cosmic time.

That month was relative to the universes of the Nine Shores Heaven, and not to Star Field, Star Vortex, or even Star System.

In fact, the Nine Shores Heaven was so vast that the flow of time within the infinite universe was naturally recorded differently according to the civilizations of different races.

But that was not important.

Any race within the Nine Shores Heaven would have many ways of recording time in parallel.

In addition to the time of one's star, there was also a record of the movement of one's star system.

Some of the larger clans had to include Star Vortex, Star Field, or even Universe Time.

Therefore, the month that Xu Qing had spent in the Black Lands was, to the Outsiders, who lived among the stars that were like grains of sand, decades, or even centuries.

The longer it was, the smaller the galaxy was. At the same time, it also meant that the laws were incomplete, and the immortal qi and other energy sources that could be absorbed were scarce.

At the same time, the living beings that lived in slow time also had certain flaws in their bodies. It could be their souls, their bloodlines, or even their karma.

As a result, even after several hundred years, their absolute growth was still incomparably slow.

To a certain extent, this was a form of equality and balance.

Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged in the Black Lands and had chosen to go fishing like Kunwu, could clearly sense this.

In the past month, he had gained a deeper understanding of the workings of the universe through the Time Constitution.

At the same time, he had also tried to enter the black hole. However, after descending less than thirty meters, he was forced to stop by the terrifying repulsive force within.

After that, he did not leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged outside the black hole and fished while studying it.

Even though his Divine Will couldn't penetrate too deeply, and the Origin Substance here seemed to be very difficult to extract, Xu Qing felt as if he was sitting on a mountain of treasures.

However, he had to admit that cultivating here, he could feel that his Immortal Embryo was growing faster than cultivating in other places.

"Even though it's very difficult for Origin Substances to emerge from the Black Lands, some of the floating Qi will still be effective."

"At the same time … Kunwu's fishing technique should also have some reference value."

Xu Qing pondered and looked down at the fishing rod in his hand.

During this month, he had imitated Kunwu's method of fishing. Even though he hadn't been able to fish out any Origin Substance, Xu Qing felt that his actions weren't completely useless.

"Maybe it's because there isn't enough time. Fishing requires patience …"

Xu Qing was deep in thought as his gaze shifted from the fishing rod to the black hole in front of him.

"That old man from the Immortal Palace called the Mo Yang Universe a strategic resource. There must be something precious about it …"

Originally, Xu Qing thought that the uniqueness of the Mo Yang Universe lay in the presence of Origin Substance.

But in the battle with Kunwu a month ago, Xu Qing was able to see some clues from the other party's words and reactions.

First of all, the other party once said that this universe was once glorious, but now it was reduced to an ordinary state.

Secondly, he seemed to be a little confused about the ranking of this batch.

He didn't know the exact ranking.

Xing Wei could explain it by saying that Kunwu was immersed in cultivation and did not have much information about the outside world.

However, if the other party was also an Ascender, then it was impossible for him not to know that the previous champion would be rewarded with a universe of strategic resources.

Therefore, through these conditions, Xu Qing obtained an answer.

Kunwu didn't think that the Mo Yang Universe was a place with strategic resources. Even if there was a Origin Substances, his thoughts were still the same.

Therefore, he had never thought that the person who obtained this universe would be the number one among this batch of ascenders!

"He doesn't know much about this universe."

"Then what's so special about the Mo Yang Universe?"

Xu Qing looked at the black hole in the Black Lands, and his heart filled with speculations.

"Perhaps the answer lies in this black hole!"

"Apart from the Origin Substance, there might be something else inside the black hole that will surprise me … …"

"Unfortunately, I can only descend a hundred feet. Unless I have another Quasi-Immortal by my side, with our cooperation, I might have the ability to explore more."

Xu Qing pondered as he fished. At the same time, he was sorting out his future.

"First of all, my short-term goal is to go out into the universe in a year, and then get a position in the Nine Shores Heaven."

"As for the long-term goal, I need a large amount of Origin Substance so that my Divine Embryo can be formed and I can become a Quasi-Immortal. After becoming a Quasi-Immortal, I also need Origin Substance so that my Immortal Embryo can be formed quickly.

Then, I can comprehend the Tenth Extreme and become an Immortal!"

"Finally, return to the Wanggu!"

"There are still 20 years left … I wonder if I can make it in time."

Xu Qing raised his head and looked into the distance.

"Before I knew it, I've been on the fifth star ring for almost ten years."

Wanggu was too far away from here. Xu Qing was unable to determine the exact location. He could only vaguely determine the general direction through his senses.

"No matter what, once the time is up, I'll have to go back. If I can become an immortal, that would be the best. If I can't … I can still borrow some external help!"

Xu Qing pondered.

"Thus, my Star Pagoda also needs to be repaired. I'll use this opportunity to obtain a reward."

When he thought of this, Xu Qing made a plan in his mind, but he still placed his attention on the Origin Substance.

Origin Substances would determine the level of his future cultivation base.

"Actually, there is another way to obtain Origin Substances …"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes as a dark light flashed within them.

"That would be the Gods … The Gods are the main body of the Upper Star Ring, and they are also life forms born from the Origin Substances. The process of their growth is to absorb the Origin Substances."

"Furthermore, because they are native to the Upper Star Ring, they are more suited and easier to absorb Origin Substance than cultivators."

"Their bodies contained Origin Substance to begin with!"

"Therefore, devouring deities is also a method, but it is not pure. On the one hand, devouring deities is more dangerous, and on the other hand, one can be affected by it."

"However, this is also the fastest way."

"Especially since I have a God Clone, so this kind of influence … To me, it is not impossible to resolve."

Xu Qing thought about the God Prison he had been in when he had first arrived in the fifth star ring.

"In the prison, the gods are constantly being squeezed and converted with the help of the array, causing them to emit spiritual energy. This is a method of utilization. The purpose is to increase the concentration of spiritual energy, making it convenient for low-level cultivators to cultivate."

"The more cultivators there are, the more spiritual energy they will release. Gradually, it will become a positive cycle."

"When the Spirit Qi reaches a certain density, it will become Immortal Qi. I think this is the meaning and value of the existence of the other races in the universe."

"Relying on the endless number of outsiders to nourish the path of cultivation."

"At the same time, the more lives one walks on the path of a cultivator, the more majestic it becomes."

Xu Qing recalled what he had seen and heard and came to a realization.

"But the God Prisons in the Four Major Star Fields don't hold high-level Gods, so high-level Gods … must also have their own prisons. The way to use them is most likely to extract Origin Substances."

"I can find an opportunity to try this path."

"Right now, the most important thing for me is the Black Lands!"

Xu Qing lowered his head and looked at the black hole again.

"The Origin Substance here … …"

Hesitation appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. A thought rose in his mind, and he slowly closed his eyes.

After a long while, he opened his eyes again, and there was decisiveness in his eyes. He waved his left hand, and a green bowl flew out.

Inside the bowl, there was a fist-sized lump of mud.

The color was crimson.

This item was precisely one of the treasures that Xie Lingzi gave Xu Qing back then, the divine mud!

This was one of the many methods the cultivators of the fifth star ring used to control the gods. They could create the appearance of the gods and control them.

Looking at the mud, Xu Qing lifted his hand and made a grasping motion. The blood mud flew out and floated in front of Xu Qing. As he sent his divine sense into it, the mud changed shape.

Slowly, it was molded into the shape of a fox!

After doing all that, Xu Qing suddenly said.

"Still not coming out?!"

As his words echoed out, a sweet voice echoed out in all directions.

"Hmph, you have no conscience. You used to call me High God. Now, I don't even have a title!"

"It's fine if you don't give me a title, but you won't even give me Primordial Yang. You even want to use it to control me. You heartless bastard. I've done so much for you, hmph!"

"I can't."

Xu Qing's expression was the same as ever as he flicked his sleeve, causing a medicinal pill bottle to fly out, within which was a drop of blood!

The moment it appeared, the starry sky rumbled, and the void seemed to rumble with the sound of thunder. Everything distorted and blurred.

This was the drop of God Lord's blood that was similar to the mud fox's divine authority!

The mud fox's breathing immediately quickened.

Xu Qing's voice sounded at this moment.

"This fifth star ring is forbidden to Gods. It's fine when you're in the Divine Fire Tier, but once you absorb this blood and break through to the Divine Platform Tier … then I'm not sure whether you'll be targeted or not. It's even possible that the moment you break through, an obstacle will descend."

"Even though you've obtained an identity and a foundation in the Aurora Immortal Palace, I'm not certain if this identity will be perfect for you."

"That's why I used this godly clay to create your form. Although it seems like I'm in control, it's actually just a way to explain things to the outside world after an unexpected situation occurs."

"In this way, we can ensure that there won't be any danger during your breakthrough."

"I'll have to trouble you a little."

Xu Qing said calmly.

The mud fox was obviously tempted, but it still snorted.

"Call me big sister and I'll listen to you."

Xu Qing fell silent as he recalled the mud fox's companionship all along the way and the assistance provided by the Aurora Immortal Palace …. After a short while, he sighed.

"Elder Sister."

Once those words were spoken, the mud fox clearly felt much better, and it let out a charming laugh.

Next, a figure appeared, transforming into strands of starlight that shot toward the mud fox formed by the God Clay. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared inside.

Just a moment ago, the mud fox was like an inanimate object, but in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have come alive. Color appeared, and it came back to life, turning into a charming young woman.

He walked towards Xu Qing.

Her surging twin peaks responded to the waves as she walked. Her gourd-like waistline was incomparably slender, and coupled with the curve of her buttocks, it could make all living things instinctively inhale and their hearts beat faster.

It could be said to be perfect.

Her sparkling skin and curvaceous figure made people want to get close to her as she swayed. It was as if she could take root and germinate in other people's hearts.

As she approached Xu Qing, she spoke in a lazy yet charming voice.

"Stinky little brother, you're so naughty … Why didn't you make a piece of clothing for me when you made my body?"
