Outside of Time - Chapter 1224

Chapter 1202 Original Star Nail

Mo Tu is like a black hole.

But there are also differences.

There is no vortex inside, and no suction force.

It looks like just a hole in the starry sky, and it is a regular circle.

As for where it leads to or how deep it is, few people know.

Only the external range can be seen clearly within Xu Qing’s spiritual perception.

Comparable to a star field.

Compared with the Moyang Universe, this range is actually not large, but in fact, standing on its edge, the sense of vastness is still strong.

Especially the wisps of scattered source energy, like mist and cotton, added mystery to this ink black hole.

At this moment, in this mysterious ink land, Xu Qing’s figure was like a fish swimming in a black hole, moving forward with difficulty.

The mud fox following behind him also spread the power of the gods. While blessing Xu Qing, they also borrowed strength from each other.

Every ten feet, they would take turns, first Xu Qing would gallop, and then the mud fox would take the lead.

The reason why it is ten feet is that inside this ink soil black hole, not only is there no suction force, but there is even a repulsion force as you go down, and it becomes stronger and stronger.

If it was just Xu Qing alone, he had tried it before and ten feet was the limit.

Now, relying on the mutual cooperation with the mud fox, he had finally broken through the limit and took turns with each other. However, after several times, as the repulsive force became stronger, it became increasingly difficult for Xu Qing to move forward, and the same was true for the mud fox.

Finally, when they reached a depth of two hundred feet, they could no longer go on.

It seems that this is the limit of quasi-immortals.

At the same time, there was a strange smell coming faintly from the depths.

It seems to be the smell of rust, with a fishy taste, making it difficult to distinguish the specific smell.

“Something is wrong here… this smell… I seem to have some ancient memories…”

At the edge of two hundred feet below the ink soil, the mud fox’s expression changed. He sensed his surroundings, stared at the endless bottom, and spoke quickly.

Beside him, Xu Qing felt a crackling sound all over his body. It was the sound of his flesh being squeezed. Although he was strong, his flesh was only at the level of illusion after all.

Therefore, facing the repulsive force in the black hole, it is somewhat difficult to bear, and one can only use one’s own constitution to cover it and dissipate it.

And these two hundred feet are just a fraction of the depth of the Motu Black Hole.

However, the amount of source quality is a little more than above.

“Although we cannot continue to explore, fishing here will be more effective. Moreover, at this depth, although Kunwu is also a quasi-immortal, his constitution should not be able to support him to this position.”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he signaled the mud fox to protect him. While he himself was sitting cross-legged in meditation and floating, he raised his hand to take out the fishing rod, and with a flick of his hand, the fishing line fell and descended into a deeper place.

“Kunwu’s fishing rod is quite good…”

With such thoughts in mind, Xu Qing calmed himself down and waited slowly.

The clay fox, while protecting Xu Qing, frowned and kept reminiscing.

He was sure that he had never been here, and he was also sure that he had no memory of this place when he was a human. The reason why he was familiar with it seemed to be the cognition he felt in the dark when he became a god, as well as the vast amount of information about the gods.

Just like that, time passed by little by little.

Half a month passed.

As the mud fox’s thoughts became clearer, Xu Qing’s fishing in and outside this ink land, due to its location, finally brought in the first harvest on this day.

The fishing line is moving.

Xu Qing’s eyes suddenly opened and closed.

I saw a colorful ball of light!

This ball of light appeared below the black hole. Although it was only the size of a head, its shining light illuminated the surroundings and was particularly obvious in the darkness.

It looked like light, but it was actually liquid, which was adsorbed on the fishhook. As the fishing line vibrated and Xu Qing swung the rod, the ball of light and liquid was suddenly pulled out from below and approached Xu Qing.

As it approached, a thick breath of source essence spread in all directions. Xu Qing only sensed it slightly, and the immortal embryo that was forming in his body began to be disturbed.

Eyes are bright.

The clay fox standing by also felt an instinctive desire in his heart.

The source substance is the root power of the thirty-six ascending star rings, the source of the gods, and the substance of the star rings. Whether it is the divine power of the gods or the authority of the monks, in essence, they all come from this.

This is true even for Godhead and the Constitution.

This is an indispensable force in the formation of planetary rings.

It is also the best supplement for cultivators to shape their own immortal embryos, and even to make the immortal embryos become immortals!

But the mud fox understood that this thing was extremely precious to Xu Qing, so he could only choose to restrain himself.

The next moment, Xu Qing raised his hand and grabbed the colorful liquid ball. Then he was silent for a few breaths and squeezed it hard.

Suddenly, the ball of light changed its shape in his hand, flowing along his arm until it spread throughout his body. The illusory body formed by Xu Qing’s soul was like a sponge at this moment.

Rapid absorption.

As the liquid in the ball of light becomes less and less, its light becomes dimmer and dimmer.

The moment it completely disappeared, the aura on Xu Qing’s body suddenly rose, and the illusory body formed by the release of his soul and spirit was only a step away from reaching the immortal state in the ongoing waves.

Xu Qing opened his eyes and sensed himself. He raised his hand and grabbed it. Suddenly, the white bottle that Xie Lingzi had given him appeared. With a wave of his hand, the bottle turned into ashes, as if it had been decomposed and dissipated.

As the small bottle disappeared, the liquid inside it appeared in front of Xu Qing.

The head is the same size and the colors are the same.

The same source material!

“Exactly the same…” Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, without hesitation, and grabbed it.

The scene just now appeared again.

As his phantom body absorbed, his aura became stronger and stronger, and the strength of his physical body also increased steadily, until finally… Xu Qing’s whole body was shining brightly.

There was a loud roar like thunder.

The real body inside his illusionary body became illusory and transparent at this moment, as if it had melted, and it seemed as if some kind of qualitative change had occurred!
In this process of illusion and truth being indestructible, the soul is first released outward, the illusion is outside, the illusion hides the real body, and then gradually replaces the real body!

The ultimate state of this realm is to melt away one’s true body that was originally hidden by illusion, so that it changes from reality to illusion and becomes a soul!
This state is called immortality.

But it is obviously not truly immortal.

Because at this level, the body and the soul have been reshaped and are alternating with each other, as if there is a body in the soul and a soul in the body, and they have the prerequisites for complete fusion.

Therefore, in a battle between opponents of the same realm, it is extremely difficult to completely kill the opponent. Only a higher level of power can kill the opponent.

And at this moment, Xu Qing’s cultivation is about to reach this level.

His true body, which was hidden by illusion, became more and more transparent, until finally… it was completely reversed, from real to virtual, the real body became soul, the illusion became reality!
The inside was real, and the outside was also real!
The next moment, Xu Qing’s aura rose, and his constitution was shining, flowing through his body inside and outside.

His eyes suddenly opened and closed.

There is a sharpness in the calm eyes. The so-called majesty without anger is often determined by the eyes.

The mud fox standing aside was shocked at this moment.

At this moment, Xu Qing gave Him the feeling that he was much stronger than before.

“The next step is the final fusion of the immortal illusion and truth. That is the complete fusion of the inner truth and the outer truth, turning the body into… an immortal embryo!”

“The required source material… needs more.”

Xu Qing sensed himself and made a rough analysis. In order to reach that step, he would need source matter of the same size as before, about one hundred balls.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing lowered his head and looked downward, preparing to use his now stronger body to try to see if he could continue sinking, but the mud fox beside him raised his hand to stop him.

Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the mud fox.

The mud fox had a serious look on his face, an expression that was extremely rare on him.

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.

“During the time you were cultivating, I kept recalling the moment I became a god, the knowledge I gained, and the information from the gods… Finally, in that vast amount of inheritance, I found the answer to my familiarity with this place.”

“To be precise, what I’m familiar with is the smell here.”

The mud fox spoke in a low voice.

“This is the rusty smell of raw upper star iron.”

“According to the information I obtained at the beginning, the size of the thirty-six ascending star rings is not fixed. They will expand once every long period of time and expand their range.”

“This is the instinct of the Ascending Thirty-Six Star Rings.”

“During these multiple expansions, cracks occasionally appear in some locations during the expansion.”

“Every time a crack appears, the supreme spirit of the star ring where it is located will use an extremely special material and use all its strength to forge a nail, and then drive it into the broken place to prevent the crack from spreading and allow it to heal slowly.”

“That special substance is called Primordial Star Iron!”

The mud fox said this and looked around.

“And the smell here should be the breath of the original upper star iron.”

“So…” Xu Qing spoke slowly.

“So, if I am right, this black hole-like ink soil should be a place where cracks appeared in ancient times. In order to prevent the cracks from spreading, the Fifth Star Ring God hammered in a nail!”

“And now, the terrifying nail that can withstand the force of the star ring shattering and prevent the star ring cracks from spreading has been taken away!”

“But if you want to keep this substance warm and alive, you need to return here regularly.”

“So, the so-called strategic resources and special features of the Moyang Universe… are most likely due to its role in nurturing the original star nail!”

“As for the bottom…”

The mud fox lowered its head and looked into the dark abyss.

“Perhaps, only the God knows what is behind the upper planetary ring that was pierced by the nail.”

“We are neither qualified nor capable of knowing.”

“So I’m very curious. This kind of universe that nurtures the original star spikes is an extremely important place in any star ring. Why was it given to us?”

“So… I don’t recommend continuing the investigation.”

The mud fox looked even more serious. Although he did not say it explicitly, his doubts were revealed in his words.

He instinctively felt that there was some unknown driving force behind this matter.

“In addition, no sacrifice is required when the original Star Nail is taken out, but… the moment it returns, all living beings in this universe will become… sacrifices.”

Mud fox, whispered.
