870 The Sun Rises, the Moon Has Not Yet Set, the Emperor’s Child Returns

Under the sea of fire, the huge bronze coffin was silent.

The Red Moon’s restrictions flickered. The red light emitted by the surrounding magma permeated the surroundings and seemed to be flowing with the fluctuations of the restrictions.

As for Xu Qing’s location, it wasn’t outside the coffin. The place where his figure sat cross-legged was actually the edge of the huge abyss. His back was facing the outside and he was facing the abyss.

More than half of his body was in the crack of the coffin. In front of him, a pair of blue eyes was staring at him. There was also an open mouth that was like an abyss.

The distance was very close. It was as though as long as Xu Qing stood up and took a step forward, he would walk into the large mouth on his own.

At that moment, Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the huge blue eye in front of him, speaking softly.

“Senior, I really don’t taste good.”

Xu Qing’s body was covered in the Poison Restriction and it continued to spread. His eyes were filled with sincerity and his expression was serious.

In his perception, he was still outside the coffin. He was very far from the abyss gap and was safe. He could get up and leave at any time.

“Interesting. When did you discover it?”

After a long time, an ancient voice rang out from the large mouth. The wind stirred up carried a stench and enveloped Xu Qing’s body. However, in Xu Qing’s perception, everything was normal.

Xu Qing sighed.

“Senior, you tricked my perception and made me think that I had left but in reality, the instant I stepped here, I sensed that something was wrong.”

“So, the place where you are sitting down is just one step away from me?” The ancient voice rang out with an inexplicable meaning.

“One more step and you’ll be poisoned, Senior,” Xu Qing said calmly.

The existence in the coffin didn’t speak.

Xu Qing also didn’t speak.

A long time later, a voice suddenly rang out from the coffin.

“Kid, with the authority you plundered from the Crimson Goddess, other than controlling this restriction to a certain extent, can you absorb it?”

Xu Qing quickly analyzed. He was uncertain about the true meaning behind the other person’s words. It gave him the impression that it was either to showcase his value or as a lure to help reduce the suppression of restrictions.

It was hard to judge the exact intention.

If he made a mistake, he might be consigned to eternal damnation.

Since that was the case, Xu Qing might as well not make the first judgment. He respectfully spoke and voiced his doubt.

Many times, speaking directly didn’t mean that one couldn’t do it, but it required a reason to do it with confidence.

The existence in the coffin fell silent. A moment later, laughter rang out.

“Kid, you’re even more interesting than I thought. You’re also more cautious than the first person I met back then.”

“Forget it. Show it to me when you get out.”

When Xu Qing heard this, he stood up and silently pondered for a moment. After bowing to the front, he didn’t hesitate at all and walked toward his left.

With this step, he didn’t move left but away from the abyssal gap.

When this scene fell into the gaze of the mysterious existence in the coffin, waves of emotions appeared in its eyes.

Just like that, Xu Qing walked out of the abyss step by step. The instant he stepped out, his eyes were a little dazed. At the next moment, his cognition recovered and he saw where he was.

His heart palpitated but he suppressed it. He was very clear about everything that had happened previously. It could be said that he was on the verge of death. If he didn’t handle it properly, there would be no turning back.

As for the existence in the coffin, its words were mixed with truth and falsehood. Although it had agreed to let him leave earlier, Xu Qing understood that this was to verify if he really had the ability to break through the fog of perception and leave safely.

Even now, the crisis hadn’t been completely resolved.

Xu Qing lifted his hand and grabbed upward. Immediately, the surrounding Red Moon restrictions whistled over and gathered in Xu Qing’s hand, gradually turning into a dazzling red light, as though it were held in his hand.

Not long later, Xu Qing stopped controlling it. The Purple Moon Nascent Soul in his body sucked and the red light in his hand instantly dimmed, transforming into threads that fused into Xu Qing’s body and the Purple Moon’s body.

The Purple Moon Nascent Soul instantly shone and clearly grew stronger.

Xu Qing could absorb the power of the restrictions.

However, what he could absorb didn’t seem to be much. After a long time, Xu Qing spoke in a low voice.

“Senior, I’ve reached my limit.”

Laughter rang out from the coffin.

“Can’t or don’t dare?”

“Can’t,” Xu Qing said seriously.

The eyes in the coffin looked at Xu Qing meaningfully and exhaled.

This breath was filled with heavenly mandates. They came from the red-clothed woman whom it devoured. When the breath moved toward Xu Qing, it transformed into a white fruit.

“Kid, I need you to help me do something. This is the remuneration I am giving you in advance.”

Xu Qing fell silent for a few breaths before accepting it.

“Senior, please instruct me.”

“It is still not the time. I’ll tell you in the future.”

The voice was filled with deep meaning. That pair of blue eyes slowly closed.

Everything returned to its original state.

Xu Qing endured the discomfort and retreated. After he completely left the range of the coffin, his entire body was already drenched and he let out a long sigh of relief.

In his body, D132 also let out a sigh of relief that echoed in his mind.

The sigh came from the god’s finger.

“You scared me to death!”

“You, you, you… Can you behave yourself?” In D132, the god’s finger let out a helpless and resentful voice.

“Can you not let me be awakened every time by such terrifying existences?”

Xu Qing recalled the scenes from before and the lingering fear in his heart rose again.

The reason why he could sense that his perception had been changed was because the god’s finger had awakened from the stimulation earlier. It screamed in his mind and stopped Xu Qing’s footsteps.

Moreover, it was also because the god’s finger instructed him that he could move away from the abyss.

“Your soul is too weak. If this continues and your soul isn’t strengthened, then according to your tendency to court death, you’ll die without knowing how sooner or later!”

The god’s finger was filled with anger.

Xu Qing nodded and replied.

“Thank you for your help, Senior. I wonder if you have a way to strengthen the soul?”

“If I had one, I wouldn’t be a clone!”

The god’s finger shouted righteously. Due to the shock earlier, It felt even more aggrieved and continued to shout.

“I’m hungry, I’m hungry!”

“I understand. I’ll find food for you.” Xu Qing didn’t care about the attitude of the god’s finger and gently comforted it.

After all, the other party was a prisoner, detained by himself, and had also helped him, so having some emotions was normal.

“I want them alive!”

“Alright.”

“I want to eat a lot!”

“Understood.”

“I want to eat…”

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll give them all to you,” Xu Qing said gently.

Seeing how cooperative Xu Qing was, the god’s finger felt that there was a trap. It thought to Itself that this kid wasn’t a good person. In the future, It would ignore him!

Just like that, Xu Qing completely left the area where the bronze coffin was. As he sped through the magma, he was also reviewing his experience.

“He said that I’m the second person to appear in front of him other than the Red Moon Shrine. So, who was the first person?”

For some reason, the first thing Xu Qing thought of was his eldest senior brother’s previous life.

This suspicion had no basis but was instinctive.

“There’s also that existence’s last sentence…” Xu Qing fell silent. There were many meanings in the other party’s words. As for the details, Xu Qing couldn’t figure it out.

A long time later, he took out the heavenly mandate fruit the other party had given him and held it in his hand to inspect it carefully. Even after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he was not relieved and asked the god’s finger.

The god’s finger couldn’t be bothered.

Xu Qing calmly spoke.

“Senior, help me take a look and see if there’s a problem with this. I’m worried that the existence in that coffin is coveting your body.”

The god’s finger immediately spread out Its divine consciousness. It was extremely serious when it came to matters related to Its body.

A long time later, It confirmed that there were no problems.

Only then did Xu Qing feel relieved. He squeezed the fruit and fused the heavenly mandates into his body.

At the next instant, his body trembled. This lump of heavenly mandate was dense enough and was absorbed by all of Xu Qing’s nascent souls in the blink of an eye. Each of them was nourished and they were getting closer and closer to the perfection of the first tribulation.

Before this, only his Golden Crow Refines All Life Nascent Soul was at the perfection-stage of the first tribulation. After it, the Purple Moon Nascent Soul was near that point. As for the others, they were all at the early-stage of the first tribulation.

At this moment, they had all improved.

After observing for a moment, Xu Qing drew in a deep breath. As he moved forward, he circulated the purple crystal to heal his soul.

Just like that, time flowed by.

While Xu Qing was recuperating and cultivating, in the eastern part of the Moon Worship Region, away from the territory of the two races, the heart of the Red Moon Shrine was moving forward.

The figures on the surrounding meteorites were motionless as usual. However, in the temple on the heart, a figure walked out of the main hall and stood in front of the Crimson Goddess statue.

This figure was a woman wearing a red robe.

At that moment, she looked at the sky with a sigh. It was as though she hadn’t seen the sky for a long time.

After a while, she lowered her head and looked at the statue. Her expression looked fanatical and pious, but there was a hint of resentment that flashed for an instance in the depths of her eyes.

If Xu Qing was here, his heart would definitely tremble violently if he saw her.

This woman was actually the divine servant he had pushed into the abyssal gap and devoured by the terrifying existence in the bronze coffin!

She was clearly dead but she was here, completely fine.

‘Crimson Goddess, there’s something wrong with your perception. You actually didn’t sense that I had escaped. Even though this is just a clone of mine, if it was in the past, you would definitely have sensed it…’ The woman in red stared at the statue.

‘There’s also that kid. Interesting, very interesting. It’s all thanks to him that I was able to devour a divine servant and recover some of my abilities.’

The woman in red smiled slightly as a blue light flashed in her eyes.

This light was exactly the same as the blue eyes inside the bronze!

She was the existence in the bronze coffin!

Xu Qing wasn’t the only one whose perception had been changed by it. There was also the divine envoy who came to investigate.

In the cognition of that divine envoy, the reason why the divine servant didn’t arrive at the agreed time was because she was enjoying herself and feeding slowly. After he went down, he saw the other party.

Everything was fine, so after he reprimanded her, he brought her back.

All the inconsistencies were justified because his cognition was changed.
