730 The Truth About the Opening of the Immortal Forbidden! (4)

“Master, do you mean that the god’s finger was sure that the Red Moon wanted to devour Its main body?”

Old Master Seventh’s eyes showed satisfaction as he nodded in agreement.

“That’s right. With such a firm belief, there can only be one answer: It is convinced that once the Red Moon sees Its true body, It will surely devour It.

This is Its understanding. In that case, the essence revealed by this understanding is that when gods encounter each other, the stronger ones will devour the weaker ones.”

“Combined with the fact that the god in the Immortal Forbidden is sleeping and has never gone out, the probability of this answer is above 80%.”

“Just like what I told you guys before, after my research, I discovered that there’s actually nothing much about gods. They’re just existences of a higher level than us.”

“When mortals eat too much, they will feel sleepy and be lazy, not wanting to do anything. It’s even more so for cultivators. For example, if the eldest eats too much, he will instinctively fall asleep. It’s the same for me if I eat too much, and it’s the same for you. Even though we don’t go into deep sleep, we still have to enter seclusion to absorb the gains.”

“As for the duration of closed-door cultivation or slumber, it will be determined by the food.”

Xu Qing’s mind stirred greatly. The captain kept licking his lips. Clearly, after verifying from two directions, they all pointed to the same answer.

“Then, is the answer clear now?” Old Master Seventh asked softly.

“The Human Emperor took the initiative to help the Red Moon awaken and send It to the Immortal Forbidden. He wanted It to enter the absorption and digestion stage after devouring the Immortal Forbidden’s god!”

“If anything happens to the Black Heaven Race at this time, the Red Moon won’t care. This is because to It, the Black Heaven Race is just a servant. It’s impossible for It to not eat or sleep because of a servant!”

“And the Red Moon will require a certain amount of time to digest. During this period of time… the Black Heaven Race will no longer have the protection of the god!”

“The Human Emperor is waiting for this opportunity!”

Xu Qing organized his thoughts and quickly spoke. A sense of enlightenment rose in his mind. At this moment, it was as though the world was clear and the clouds had dissipated. His understanding was incomparably clear.

In fact, under the enlightenment of this thought, the twelfth Heavenly Palace that was forming in his body instantly sped up and was getting closer and closer to perfection.

As Old Master Seventh guided him step by step, Xu Qing’s perspective expanded like the creation of heaven and earth. His mind was uplifted infinitely, and his understanding and thought process transcended the limitations of the immediate surroundings. He ascended to a higher level of perception, allowing him to have an overarching view of the entire situation.

Old Master Seventh could have said nothing or directly given the answer. However, doing so would have provided limited improvement to Xu Qing’s understanding.

Under his guidance, Xu Qing slowly analyzed everything. This breakthrough in understanding was undoubtedly a blessing!

He was receiving teachings all the time.

Respect appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He looked at Old Master Seventh and bowed deeply.

Old Master Seventh had a smile on his face. Seeing that Xu Qing was thoroughly convinced, his heart was filled with pride and a sense of comfort.

“Then what about the regional war artifact? Master, what do you think? Seize it?” The captain was also greatly shocked and looked at his master with reverence.

Old Master Seventh’s smile froze. He hadn’t thought of the captain’s question, and felt a headache coming on when he saw that Xu Qing was also looking at him inquisitively.

With the image he had just established, he couldn’t just say that he didn’t know…

‘Why does the eldest lack observational skills!’ Old Master Seventh felt displeased, but he didn’t show it on the surface and calmly spoke.

“I have long judged this matter.”

“But not everything can be directly told by me. Consider this matter as a homework assignment for you. Ponder over it, and I will see which one of you shows more comprehension. I will reward the one who excels.”

Xu Qing nodded, feeling even more admiration for his master.

The captain was a little suspicious and glanced at his master.

Seeing that Chen Erniu was about to speak, Old Master Seventh snorted inwardly and made a mental note. After that, he took out a translucent human skin mask and handed it to Xu Qing.

“This item is an immortal art I obtained in an Immortal Art Hall many years ago. It has only one use, and that is concealment. Extreme concealment.”

“Fourth, the moment the Red Moon wakes up, wear this human skin mask immediately. This is the first level of concealment but it’s not safe yet. Remember to find a place with a lot of flesh and blood immediately and dig a pit to bury yourself. Hide under the aura of the sleeping god. This is the second level of concealment.

You yourself have some methods. This is the third level of concealment. My concealment divine technique will also augment you. This is your fourth level of concealment!”

“With all these, as long as the Red Moon doesn’t specially search for you here with all Its might, you’ll be fine for a short period of time. When the Red Moon wakes up, It will definitely be attracted by the sleeping god, so you will be okay as long as you are cautious.”

“However, remember one thing. After you wear the mask, you can’t move. Your cultivation level isn’t high enough. If you move, there will be a flaw in the concealment.”

Upon hearing his master’s words, warmth rose in Xu Qing’s heart. He lowered his head and bowed.

“Master, please take care of yourself as well.”

Old Master Seventh smiled and his eyes revealed satisfaction. He deeply admired Fourth’s emphasis on relationships.

He lifted his right hand and patted Xu Qing’s shoulder. After augmenting him, he turned to leave.

The captain hurriedly spoke.

“Master, what about me?”

Old Master Seventh glanced at him in disdain.

“Compared to the sleeping god, who would care about your aura?”

Even so, Old Master Seventh still waved his hand and used the concealment divine technique to augment the captain. After that, with a sway, he disappeared from this place.

Seeing that his master had left, the captain let out a long sigh of relief. He then looked at Xu Qing with shining eyes.

“Little Qing, on the way here, I saw something good. At that time, the old man moved too quickly, so I didn’t speak. Let’s go, let’s go and see what that thing is.”
