Chapter 1208: Aurora Beyond Heaven

This was a poisonous immortal fruit!

Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the Poison Monarch. After a long moment, he bowed.

"This subordinate obeys!"

He wanted this poisonous fruit!

The Poison Monarch was not surprised.

In his judgment, this Xu Qing in front of him was someone like him.

In order to become stronger, in order to break through, in order to go higher, he was willing to ask a tiger for its skin!

To the other party, he was a tiger.

As for himself, the other party also had a tiger skin. After all, the Immortal Venerable had warned him not to get involved in karma.

"But that makes it more interesting."

Poison Monarch smiled, waved his sleeves, and walked forward.

His figure gradually blurred, as if he had merged with the heavens and the earth. In the end, he disappeared.

Only his voice echoed in the world.

"Xu Qing, take care of yourself."

As he left, the world returned to normal. A ray of golden starlight floated down from the sky and landed on Xu Qing's body. It formed a suction force that caused Xu Qing's body to rise into the air.

He was about to be sent out of the planet where the Resource Division was located.

Xu Qing didn't reject it. He allowed the starlight to tug at him. As he rose up, the planet grew smaller and smaller, and his thoughts grew larger and larger.

Although the immortal fruit was poisonous, its meat was extremely delicious.

The pros and cons were clear as day.

Moreover, Xu Qing didn't think that if he didn't eat this immortal fruit, the other party would really put away all their evil intentions.

This evil intent was related to his advancement. In that case, there would still be conflicts in the future.

Therefore, rather than placing his hopes on the slim possibility that the other party would give up, Xu Qing was more willing to take the initiative.

In particular, he knew very well that what he lacked now was time and resources needed for cultivation.

He really needed this reason to support his cultivation.

Since that was the case, rather than worrying about the future of the poison, it would be better for him to consume it first so that he could grow faster.

It was just like back when he hadn't started cultivating, when he was in the city with the broken face and the open eyes. He knew that cultivating would speed up the increase of his mutagen qualities, but he still chose to cultivate.

In terms of mentality, they were exactly the same.

Therefore, to a certain extent, the Poison Monarch's judgment was correct.

In this aspect, Xu Qing and he were indeed the same type of people.

"As for the poison, it's not impossible to resolve it …"

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, and the stars in his eyes became smaller and smaller. The entire guiding universe gradually entered his eyes, and in the end … when the entire guiding universe appeared before his eyes, he had already left the guiding universe under the guidance of the starlight.

When he reappeared, he was in the starry sky, outside of the receiving universe, where he saw Xing Huanzi and the other cultivators.

They were waiting.

As soon as they saw Xu Qing, their gazes converged on him, and Xu Qing came to a halt.

Then, he waved his hand, and the ring that the Poison Monarch had given him opened. All the items that belonged to the Greedy Envoy flew out.

They were gray jade slips.

Everyone took them one by one and infused their divine senses into them. Their bodies shone with light, and they transformed into a hundred gray hooded robe.

As for Xu Qing, after his body became a blur, his Hundred Pocket Robe appeared around him.

From a distance, it would appear that the 89 cultivators were all dressed in uniform. For some reason, they seemed to possess a certain level of pressure.

Zhou Zhengli took a step forward with a solemn expression, bowed to Xu Qing, and transmitted his Divine Sense.

"Greetings, Captain!"

The other ascenders, regardless of what they were thinking, followed suit and bowed.

Yuanshan Su was also like this. Qian Jun and Bi Yi was hesitant. He was just about to go and pay his respects when he discovered that Xing Huanzi didn't move. The two of them also became arrogant.

Xu Qing's gaze swept over, but he didn't pay it any mind. Instead, he took out the mission jade slip and displayed it to everyone's perception.

As the first mission of the Resource Raising Envoy, they were assigned to a place called the Spherical Heaven Universe.

He wanted to go there to collect resources!

However, there was something special about the Spherical Heaven Universe.

It was not in the Nine Shores Heaven!

It was located in a place that used to be the Heavens beyond Heaven.

Moreover, he wasn't one of the eleven Immortal Lord!

To be more precise, due to the death of the Immortal Lord, the Heaven Beyond Heaven had become ownerless …

As for the name 'Heaven Beyond Heaven', it had also been erased.

After seeing this scene in the mission jade slip, Xu Qing's heart stirred.

He wasn't the only one. Strange expressions appeared on the faces of the Ascendants, such as Xing Huanzi and the other former planets.

This was because there was only one place in the entire fifth star ring that met this condition.

That was the former Aurora Heavens Beyond!

Instinctively, Li Mengtu and Zhou Zhengli turned to look at Xu Qing. Even Li Mengtu, Yuanshan Su, and Xing Huanzi couldn't help but look at Xu Qing.

After all, everything that they had experienced in the Aurora Immortal Palace and Xu Qing's identity as the young master of the Aurora Immortal Palace had left a deep impression on them.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and continued to check the mission jade slip.

The jade slip also stated that to travel to the Spherical Heaven Universe, one had to bring the mission jade slip to the teleportation location and undergo the designated teleportation.

Due to the fact that the Heavens Beyond Heaven had lost its owner, it had become a public place. On the other hand, due to the remnants of history, the foreign races in the Heavens Beyond Heaven had become more rebellious.

After all, there was no sky above their heads.

Moreover, with the intrusion of other Heavens beyond Heavens, there was naturally a division, with their own forces behind them.

All in all, compared to the other Heavens beyond Heaven, that place was more like a place of the underworld, and the water was very deep.

In the countless universes within the Outer Heavens, there were many Outsiders, and there were many complicated factions. At the same time, the number of God Prisons was among the highest in the Outer Heavens.

After all, the Aurora Immortal Lord from back then could be said to possess the strongest battle prowess among all the Immortal Lords.

As for the trip to Spherical Heaven Universe, there was also an introduction in the jade slip. This universe was located at the edge of Heaven's Beyond. It was managed by Hun Tian Royal Family, and there were 31 divine prisons.

Among these thirty-one places, the largest was Prison A29. Those imprisoned there were mostly in the Divine Platform Tier.

After the information within the jade slip was completely sensed by everyone, Xu Qing put it away, and then his gaze swept past everyone before him. He didn't speak a single word before his figure flashed, and he moved towards the nearest teleportation location according to the guidance of the jade slip.

Zhou Zhengli and Li Mengtu exchanged glances with one another before following behind.

Everyone else's eyes also lit up as they moved forward together.

Following this, the group of cultivators turned into eighty-nine rays of light and sprinted across the galaxy.

They moved very quickly, causing the Cultivators who passed by to frown when they noticed them. Then, they made way for them.

Obviously, the Greedy Envoys had a notorious reputation. They were like tigers, wolves, firewood, and dogs. If they could avoid provoking them, most people wouldn't want to come into contact with them.

Just like that, half a month passed.

In the Nine Shores Sky, Xu Qing and the others landed on a teleportation platform built from an ancient planet. As Xu Qing took out the mission jade slip, the platform rumbled.

In the next instant, the power of teleportation erupted, and the vast might formed circular ripples that spread out in all directions.

Everyone, including Xu Qing, disappeared from the teleportation platform.

This teleportation took a total of five days to complete.

When they appeared once more, they were already in an unfamiliar starry sky, and they were on a crimson red stone platform that was covered in cracks and filled with an ancient aura.

The stone platform was emitting a high temperature and was rapidly cooling down.

Clearly, teleportation between the Outer Skies was extremely taxing on the teleportation formation.

This unprecedented teleportation had an extremely high requirement on the cultivator's body. If the cultivator's cultivation base was insufficient, they would even be destroyed during the teleportation. Furthermore, there could not be any flaws in the mind, or they would be lost in the special state of teleportation and be destroyed along with the cultivator.

Thus, the moment they appeared, several tens of people directly coughed up blood and immediately sat down cross-legged to rest.

Some of them looked absent-minded, as if their souls were in turmoil.

Even Xu Qing and Xing Huanzi felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, those who were able to ascend were all people who had been tempered along the way. In the outside world, their cultivation and state of mind were all geniuses among their peers.

Therefore, even though the teleportation between Heavens Beyond Heavens had affected them, they gradually recovered and spread out their divine sense to observe their surroundings.

There was not much light in the starry sky here.

The starlight here was obviously dim.

Moreover, the Spirit Qi was also much thinner.

This was a barren land.

"This is the Spherical Heaven Universe."

Xu Qing stood on the stone platform and looked into the distance. He then glanced at Zhou Zhengli.

Zhou Zhengli immediately understood. He stepped forward and bowed to Xu Qing.

"Young Master, everyone already knows about this mission and the requirements for Origin Substances."

"I suggest that we disperse."

"No matter what the process is, I just need to get my share back when I return."

"If you encounter any obstacles during this period of time, use Origin Substance as the price to call for help."

"Of course, if we still can't deal with it in the end, we will need Young Master to take action. However, if we ask Young Master to take action, we will need to have sufficient Origin Substance."

"Young Master, what do you think?"

Zhou Zhengli looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded. He was too lazy to make any arrangements. At the same time, he understood that everyone needed Origin Substance, so it was inevitable that he would be selfish.

Since that was the case, they might as well go their separate ways.

"I will be in charge of Prison A29. As for the other places, you can discuss among yourselves."

With that, his body flickered as he shot off into the starry sky.

The A29 he was heading to was the largest God Prison in the Spherical Heaven Universe.

After he left, everyone looked at each other and transmitted their voices to each other. Some chose to go alone, while others chose to go in groups of three to five. Soon, they spread out like locusts and rushed to different places.

At the same time, in the depths of the Spherical Heaven Universe, there was an extremely luxurious palace floating in a galaxy.

In the palace, there was singing and dancing.

A crimson giant with two faces was sitting on an emperor's throne. His head was held in one hand and he was immersed in his thoughts.

It didn't take long for a jade slip to fly in from outside of the imperial palace to land in front of the giant. A popping sound could be heard as the jade slip shattered, revealing a figure who prostrated himself before the giant.

"Your Majesty, a fundraising team from the Nine Shores Beyond Heavens has invaded our Spherical Heaven Universe!"

The double-faced giant's expression remained the same. He continued to watch the singing and dancing below, and after a long while, he calmly spoke.

"Same old rules. Arrange for some Origin Substance and let them find it. If these bastards know what's good for them, they'll leave after eating the bones."

"If they don't know what's good for them, we can also let them know who the master of the Spherical Heaven Universe is."
