Chapter 422 - 422 Heavenly Palace Golden Core

422 Heavenly Palace Golden Core

Blue light filled the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo altar in the Sea Corpse Race’s territory.

The blue light continued to erupt, attracting the attention of the Sea Corpse Race and the Seven Blood Eyes disciples.

This was especially true for the former. The entire clan was shaken. Virtually all of the Sea Corpse Race members had seen the blue light coming from the altar during the past few days, so they naturally knew why this was happening.

It was precisely because they knew that they felt an intense surge of emotional fluctuations as this lasted so long.

The disciples of the Seven Blood Eyes were also shaken.

Lord Third looked at Xu Qing, who was covered in blue light on the altar below. When he saw the blue color of Xu Qing’s entire body and the aura of death emanating from his body, his mind also fluctuated.

If he didn’t know that Xu Qing was trying to find the 121st magic aperture and that the probability of him betraying the sect was extremely low, he would have thought that Xu Qing really wanted to transform himself into a member of the Sea Corpse Race.

At this moment, as the power of the many ancestral corpse statues fused into him, Xu Qing’s life force was about to reach its extreme low. The aura of death coming from him was increasingly dense.

Another six hours pa.s.sed. Dusk fell and the moon shone brightly in the sky. Xu Qing’s body trembled violently as he sensed his limits.

The purple crystal had to face his suppression as well as the invasion of the energy of the ancestral corpse statues. Finally, he was just a thread away from being transformed completely.

The left side of this thread was life, and the right side was death.

This was a life and death situation.

However, this state was extremely unstable. If it was a little less, it would not be a matter of life and death. If it was a little more… he would really transform into the Sea Corpse Race.

At this critical moment, Xu Qing’s eyes suddenly opened, revealing a blue light. With an aloofness that didn’t have the slightest hint of emotion, he raised his corpse-like right hand and slowly pointed at the black wood in front of him.

The black wood immediately emitted a powerful energy.

At the next instant, a gigantic illusory wooden door appeared before Xu Qing. Amidst the rumbling sounds, the wooden door slowly opened toward Xu Qing.

An intense, dazzling white light that was different from the surrounding blue light suddenly spread out from the wooden door and enveloped Xu Qing’s body!

This light… was brighter and more brilliant than before. It was not dimmed by the cruel truth and the world. It still existed, but it had become a little cold, and the warmth within it was hidden even deeper.

The light from the black wooden door was the method that Xu Qing had thought of to freeze his life and death situation.

Regardless of whether it was when he fought with Saintly Star or after researching, he knew very well that the light inside the wooden door that had been sacrificially refined a second time possessed some kind of power that could seal the life level..

This seal seemed to be a freezing power. It would freeze the target’s state in that instant.

As the light spread out, Xu Qing’s body trembled violently. The unstable state between life and death was completely frozen under the light of the Mystic Spirit Perpetual Will Door. It was no longer unstable.

His life level seemed to have been frozen.

At the next moment, under Lord Third’s arrangement, the blue light from the ancestral corpse statues immediately dissipated.

After that, he formed an incantation gesture and the Taboo magic treasure of the Seven Blood Eyes, the ancient bronze mirror, shone with light in the sky. The light transformed into a beam and descended, landing on Xu Qing’s body before refracting back.

This caused Xu Qing’s entire body to be completely enveloped by this light.

Xu Qing’s body trembled. At this moment, his consciousness was still clear. His perception rapidly spread throughout his body, searching for his 121st aperture.

Old Master Seventh had said that everyone’s apertures were located in different spots, especially this 121st.

However, at this moment, in this state of life and death, after using the Taboo magic treasure of the Seven Blood Eyes to sense his entire body, Xu Qing finally found… his 121st aperture.

Shockingly, this magical aperture existed in his sea of consciousness. It wasn’t real, but rather, in an illusory state.

The moment he found it, Xu Qing didn’t hesitate at all. The soul power in his body erupted and surged towards the spot he had found in his sea of consciousness. In the next instant, Xu Qing’s body trembled.

The opening of the 121st magic aperture was much more difficult than the other magic apertures. However, Xu Qing had made ample preparations for this. The soul power suppressed in his magic apertures was stimulated and converged to form a soul flame that surged over again.

A few breaths later, cracking sounds echoed in his sea of consciousness. The 121st magic aperture in the illusory state opened!

As it opened, an unprecedented wave of magic power erupted from it.

It was wild and boundless!

The power released by this aperture was equal to 30 magic apertures combined.

Because the magic power inside was too majestic, there was a saying that this one aperture could form one life fire.

Under this eruption, although the color of the four life fires burning in Xu Qing’s body was changed by the aura of the Sea Corpse Race, under the convergence of countless fire threads, Xu Qing’s fifth life fire formed.

The color of the fifth life fire was fiery red.

Under the intense burning, a terrifying energy fluctuation spread out from it. After the magic power spread throughout Xu Qing’s entire body, his state of life and death was directly broken.

The vigorous fire of life caused the aura of death to dissipate after his state was broken.

Because the ritual hadn’t been completed, Xu Qing hadn’t completely transformed into the Sea Corpse Race. Hence, he could reverse the situation.

Especially when he had the purple crystal. Other than making the shadow cover it so that it wouldn’t be exposed, Xu Qing didn’t suppress it any more. Hence, his vitality recovered even faster.

Gradually, two of the five life fires turned fiery red, then the third… When all life fires’ colors returned to normal, a rich life force was activated in Xu Qing’s body and spread throughout his entire body.

The color of his skin changed rapidly, and his hair no longer withered.

This process lasted for eight hours before Xu Qing’s eyes opened. He had fully recovered!

He had successfully reversed the situation between life and death and opened the 121st magic aperture. This scene caused the seven Sea Corpse Race cultivators in the sky to feel both regret and shock.

No one dared to look down on someone who had opened 121 magic apertures. This meant that the upper limit of the other party’s Golden Core was the extreme limits. This was especially so since they had long recognized Xu Qing and knew of his life lanterns.

Lord Third also heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. A look of admiration appeared in his eyes, but he didn’t disturb Xu Qing because he could tell that… Xu Qing was about to advance to the Golden Core Realm.

He immediately waved his hand and dispersed the surrounding Sea Corpse Race cultivators. After sealing this place even more tightly, he personally protected Xu Qing.

This was something that Old Master Seventh had asked him to do. Whether it was from the standpoint of the sect or a favor to Old Master Seventh, Lord Third would strictly execute it.

He wouldn’t allow anything to happen to Xu Qing’s advancement.

In reality, it was very difficult for accidents to happen in the Taboo ground of the Seven Blood Eyes. This place could be said to be the safest place in the Seven Blood Eyes.

After a long while, Xu Qing opened his eyes. After a few breaths of silence, he could sense Lord Third’s arrangements in the surroundings. Hence, he closed his eyes again and prepared to advance!

The advancement of five fires was a certain thing.

For a Foundation Establishment to reach the Golden Core realm, the most important thing to do was to burn their life fires to the extreme and raise it high up in their body to s.h.i.+ne its light upon the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace that was revealed was illusory, but it would not disappear and would always exist.

In the years to come, the cultivator would need to materialize the illusory Heavenly Palace. Finally, they needed to place a Golden Core in it for it to become a true Heavenly Palace.

At this moment, following Xu Qing’s will, the five life fires in his body instantly lit up.

The 121 apertures were like 121 stoves, especially the last aperture. Its fire intent was even stronger, turning into countless fire threads that gathered in the five b.a.l.l.s of life fire, causing the flames of Xu Qing’s five b.a.l.l.s of life fire to be even more dazzling.

The life lanterns also manifested. After the flames were augmented, the life fires were lifted up high in Xu Qing’s body.

In the next moment, a corner of the first Heavenly Palace that was originally visible above the life fires in his sea of consciousness seemed to have been lifted, revealing more and more areas.

A moment later, Xu Qing’s first illusory Heavenly Palace was completely reflected.

This Heavenly Palace looked like a huge palace, filled with a divine and majestic aura.

This was the most basic appearance of the Heavenly Palace. It was basically the same for all humans.

This was determined by the bloodline of the race.

During the materialization process, different changes would occur according to the varying cultivation techniques.

At this moment, as Xu Qing’s five life fires burned and were raised high, very quickly… on top of the first illusory Heavenly Palace, Xu Qing’s second illusory Heavenly Palace was also reflected.

Then the third, the fourth…

Rumbling filled his sea of consciousness, as if everything were trembling. Bolts of lightning shot out in all directions, as if they were about to tear everything apart. At the same time, the fifth illusory Heavenly Palace appeared.

From the bottom to the top, the five Heavenly Palaces looked extremely vast. The light of the life fires continued to spread out, causing the sixth illusory Heavenly Palace to appear in his sea of consciousness.

Shockingly, there was a dense fog above the sixth illusory Heavenly Palace. The fog was like a dome that prevented the light from entering.

The six Heavenly Palaces were the limit for cultivators with three life fires because the Heavenly Palaces after them existed within the life fog. Weak life fires’ light could not s.h.i.+ne upon this fog.

However, Xu Qing wasn’t one of them.

With the eruption of his five life fires, the seventh illusory Heaven Palace appeared in the thick fog.

Next, the eighth Heavenly Palace was illuminated by the dazzling light of the five life fires.

The eight illusory Heavenly Palaces caused his sea of consciousness to tremble, and rumbling sounds filled the air. A vortex appeared around him, and as it swept out in all directions, boundless spiritual energy was sucked in.

“Next… is the life lanterns transforming into life palaces!”

Xu Qing mumbled as he raised his Rainbow Wind Song Lantern high up in his sea of consciousness.

After pa.s.sing through the six illusory palaces, the lamp entered the life fog.

After pa.s.sing through the seventh and eighth illusory Heavenly Palaces, a heaven-shaking might erupted from a higher position.

Brilliant light spread out from the Rainbow Wind Song Lantern. The ninth Heavenly Palace slowly formed around the life lantern.

It was not illusory, but real.

The entire process lasted for an hour before Xu Qing’s ninth Heavenly Palace was completely formed in the life fog.

It contained the Rainbow Wind Song Lantern. It would become an existence similar to a Golden Core, suppressing the Heavenly Palace and instantly… completing it!

The power of a Heavenly Palace surged from Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged. It caused the color of the outside world to change, and a deafening bang sounded.

This wasn’t the end. At this moment, the life lantern in the shape of a large black umbrella was lifted up high by Xu Qing!
