Chapter 1229: This Illusion Contains Truth

Life, no door.

Death, no path.

Distance, no way.

Coming, no technique.

This was the God of Pain!

Frozen in an ice coffin, sealed in time by the hourglass, trapped in karma by the entire Heaven Beyond Heaven!

It was stuck between return and rebirth, becoming a special God Stone that constantly emitted Origin Substance!

He could only immerse himself in the pain of his body burning, immerse himself in the cycle of his soul being torn apart, immerse himself in the torture of his godhood and source substance being slowly absorbed!

In space, Xu Qing stared at the ice coffin with a cold gaze!

At this moment, his anger was gradually being suppressed. This True God's current situation was already the best torture for him!

Since he liked pain, then he would personally taste it!

Xu Qing muttered in his heart, "Unfortunately, I don't have the divine authority to tell stories like Yu Liuchen!"

If he had Yu Liuchen's divine authority, he would be able to use it right now. He would fabricate one painful story after another for this true god, causing him to sink into the stories while he was sealed in ice and experience even more mental torture!

This way, not only would he be able to make this True God suffer even more, but he would also be able to use the stories to make the source substance released even denser!

"I'm not in a hurry!"

Xu Qing retracted his gaze and stepped forward. He sat down cross-legged on top of the ice coffin and slowly closed his eyes. He inhaled through his nose and began to breathe in and out. All the pores on his body opened to absorb the Origin Substance coming out of the ice coffin!

This source substance wasn't only dense but also pure. As Xu Qing breathed it in, it entered his body!

Then it fused with the Immortal embryo in his body to nourish him!

In the next instant, Xu Qing's Immortal embryo shone with a gentle light that lit up the dark Heaven Beyond Heaven. The countless universes, galaxies, and stars in the Heaven Beyond Heaven were no longer as dark as before!

They continued to recover!

Xu Qing's Immortal embryo also gradually turned into a source substance under the light. The Immortal foundation formed by the Immortal palace was the same!

Just like this, time passed. Soon, a month had passed!

Xu Qing opened his eyes!

His eyes shined with a ghostly light. A moment later, he lowered his head and looked at the ice coffin floating in space!

At the beginning, the source substance released by the ice coffin was extremely dense, but it gradually decreased. It went from surging fiercely to a trickle!

This was normal!

This kind of God Origin Stone that had been created had an endless amount of Origin Substance in it!

It wasn't a sudden outburst!

Therefore, to Xu Qing, absorbing it step by step was the best method!

This one month of cultivation had brought him quite a bit of improvement. His Immortal Embryo had become even more solid. Whether it was his pressure or his aura, they had all surpassed before!

That was especially true considering that the Immortal Palace was the foundation of the Immortal Realm. Combined with his status as the lord of the Heavens beyond Heaven, Xu Qing's aura was very close to that of an Immortal!

In terms of cultivation, he was not too far away from reaching the pinnacle of Quasi-Immortal early stage!

This kind of cultivation speed was enough to make people envious in the outside world. It was already incomparably fast!

After all, the Quasi-Immortal Realm was the process of transforming an immortal embryo into an immortal. The amount of Origin Substance required for this process was terrifying!

And Immortal was one of the symbols of the Lower Immortal realm. However, Xu Qing still felt that this was too slow!

"If I can get a few more of these True God Origin Stones!"

Xu Qing licked his lips and stood up from the ice coffin. As he looked into the distance, he recalled the illusion he had sunk into!

"Looking at that illusion now, it's still a bit strange!"

Xu Qing's eyes flashed!

He remembered that in the illusion, he had been in seclusion here for 10 years. His cultivation had reached the pinnacle of Quasi-Immortal. Although there were not many details in his memory, Xu Qing still remembered the feeling of being at the pinnacle of Quasi-Immortal!

Especially...

"If I really choose to seclude myself here for 10 years, based on the amount of Origin Substance released by the ice coffin, it's hard to say if my cultivation can reach the pinnacle of Quasi-Immortal. However, it should be possible for me to reach the pinnacle of Quasi-Immortal!"

Therefore, this illusion itself had its own logic and was not baseless. After this thought appeared, Xu Qing could not help but feel a little gloomy!

He instinctively did not want to take this path. He did not want to choose to stay here and cultivate!

On one hand, he did not want to be the same as the illusion. On the other hand, he felt that cultivating in seclusion like this was too slow!

There was another reason. Xu Qing was very clear that if he wanted to break through the Quasi-Immortal Realm and step into the Lower Immortal realm, he would not only need Origin Substance to transform his Immortal Embryo into an immortal!

He also needed his constitution to reach a higher level.

"Which is my Tenth Extreme."

As for the Tenth Extreme, Xu Qing still did not have any direction. Even in the illusion, he had not explored it!

Xu Qing muttered to himself. He raised his hand and pressed the ice coffin under him into the black hole in the Heaven Beyond Heaven. He used the suction of the black hole to constantly absorb the Origin Substance and store it!

After that, he was about to leave this sky!

However, just as he raised his foot and was about to land, Xu Qing's body suddenly froze!

His eyes suddenly shone with a strange light!

"That's not right."

"In the illusion, I seemed to have grasped the Tenth Extreme. Because when I returned to the Wanggu Continent in the illusion, the cultivation that I displayed … did not seem to be at the Quasi-Immortal realm!"

"As for the specifics, I don't have any details!"

Xu Qing frowned. The doubts in his heart about the illusion just now were even deeper!

However, without any valid information, Xu Qing could only suppress all his doubts.

He suppressed them again, landed his foot, and walked out of the blue heaven!

At the same time, outside the blue sky, the concealed immortal senses that had arrived also dispersed at this moment. Before they left, each of them had a different meaning in their eyes as they looked at Xu Qing walking out of the blue sky!

They remembered Xu Qing, and they could not help but remember him!

The master of the Aurora Heaven Beyond Heaven, a Quasi-Immortal with combat strength close to that of an Immortal. He had even suppressed a returning True God!

This impressive battle record was enough to make everyone look askance!

After that, they left one by one!

In the Nine Shores Beyond Heaven, in the immortal palace, the figure on the supreme immortal tower nodded slightly at this moment!

"Since we have managed to seize this opportunity and complete the task of raising resources, then …"

"There is no point in staying in the star ring!"

"Send an order to the Resource Division. Let this group of ascenders join the transfer team. They will personally deliver the goods to the battlefield with the other teams. They don't need to return. Immediately head to the Star Ring God-Sealing Formation!"

As soon as the Nine Shores Immortal Lord spoke, the tower shook slightly. Then, his decree instantly spread throughout the Nine Shores Sky. In the Resource Division, the Poison Lord was meditating!

In an instant, his eyes suddenly opened. He instantly sensed the arrival of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord's decree!

His expression changed slightly!

He raised his head and looked into the distance. After a long silence, he finally sighed softly!

"I don't know if this kid is lucky or unlucky!"

The Poison Lord shook his head. Although he was unwilling, in the face of the Nine Shores Immortal Lord's decree, he did not dare to disobey!

He could only sigh and make arrangements for this matter!

At the same time, Xu Qing's figure left the Blue Heavens. When he reappeared, he was already with Wutian. The prison here had disappeared. However, the jailers, wardens, Xing Huanzi, and the others did not leave. They were all waiting here for the results!

Although a month had passed, their hearts had mostly calmed down. After all, the news of the True God's return had been exposed. There was no way it could have lasted for more than a month!

However, the moment they saw Xu Qing, they were still relieved. Especially when they sensed that Xu Qing's aura was obviously stronger than before. Zhou Zhengli immediately stepped forward and bowed!

"Congratulations, my lord. You have suppressed the True God. Your merit is immeasurable."

Hearing this, everyone bowed one after another!

In their hearts, there were also waves of emotions!

They had personally witnessed Xu Qing's ascension to the Quasi-Immortal Realm. They had sensed the Vast Expanse Immortal Embryo and become the master of the Aurora Beyond Heaven!

They had sensed the power of an Lower Immortal!

At the same time, they also saw that Xu Qing had transported the True God alone and had returned safely!

How could these geniuses not have a myriad of thoughts when they had witnessed Xu Qing becoming a puppet step by step until he had reached a certain height?

Especially Xing Huanzi, who silently looked at Xu Qing and sighed in his heart!

The distance between them was getting bigger and bigger!

However, this thought did not exist for long before it became his motivation!

As for Xu Qing, looking at the people in front of him, especially when he saw that the jailers and wardens were still there, his heart calmed down!

After all, this was different from the illusory realm!

In the illusory realm, when he had walked out, the jailers and wardens were not there!

However, as soon as this thought appeared in Xu Qing's mind,

In the face of everyone's greetings, Xu Qing did not even open his mouth to respond!

In the next instant!

The identity tokens of all the ascenders vibrated.

The decree from the Heaven Beyond Shore's Resource Division suddenly echoed in the hearts of all the ascenders!

There have been changes in the battle outside the Star ring, and we urgently need Source Substance. All resource teams are hereby ordered to transport the Source Substance to the front line without delay.

The voice of this decree carried a sense of majesty that caused the expressions of all the ascenders to change!

"Transport on their own to the battlefield?"

Qian Jun abd Bi Yi's entire body trembled. A storm arose in the hearts of these two brothers!

Yuanshan Su frowned, Li Mengtu's expression changed, and Xie Lingzi's pupils also shrank!

The other ascenders' expressions all changed to varying degrees!

To all of them, the battlefield was something that they thought was far away!

But they did not expect that at this moment … it would be so close!

In particular, with their cultivations, being placed on the battlefield was like a drop in the ocean. Life and death could be reversed at any moment, and a catastrophe could happen at any time!

They would come, and the cultivation of the enemies they would face was not fixed!

They might encounter divine flames, or they might encounter God Altars, and they might also encounter a sudden True God. According to everyone's previous understanding, the war with the fourth star ring was an all-out war between God Lords and Immortal Lords!

It was a war between Gods and Immortals, a war between camps, and a war of extermination.

Zhou Zhengli looked at Xu Qing with a grave expression!

Xing Huanzi's heart also sank, and his gaze fell on Xu Qing!

The other cultivators were also the same!

And Xu Qing, who was the focus of everyone's attention, was somewhat absent-minded at this moment!

He once again thought of the True God's Pain Realm!

In the illusory realm, he also went to the battlefield.

But the difference was that in the illusory realm, the battlefield was ten years later, and now, it was now!

Ten years in advance!

"How did that True God's illusory realm come about?"

"Is it a coincidence?"

Xu Qing's eyes were gloomy!
