307 Bai Li Soul Pill (2)
Xu Qing didn’t care about this. The main reason why his revenge this time went smoothly was because of Lord Sixth. Hence, even if he wasn’t given the soul pill, Xu Qing would feel that it was reasonable.
The pendant given by Lord Sixth had expended a lot of energy in the battle with Bai Li, but it could still be used. Its value had already surpassed the soul pill.
Xu Qing retracted his thoughts and picked up the soul pill. He threw it into his mouth without any hesitation and chewed it bit by bit. The remnant soul inside let out a mournful cry but in the end, it couldn’t escape the outcome of being devoured. Under the burning of the fiendish fire in Xu Qing’s body, it transformed into an impact force that rushed toward the 69th magic aperture.
Xu Qing’s body trembled slightly. The 69th magic aperture was opened, followed by 70th, 71st…
The power of the soul pill didn’t seem to diminish in the slightest. Very soon, the 72nd magic aperture was opened. Next was the 73rd, 74th, and 75th.
This wasn’t the end. The 76th, 77th, and 78th magic apertures were also opened soon after!
The might of the soul pill refined from Bai Li’s remnant soul was extremely astonishing.
Finally, as Xu Qing opened his eyes in which purple light flickered, the 79th magic aperture was opened!
A terrifying aura circulated around his body and astonishing magic power spread as his cultivation base increased. The seawater in the surroundings stirred up waves.
“It actually opened 11 magic apertures… This soul pill probably doesn’t only contain Bai Li’s remnant soul!” Xu Qing was a little shocked. He could vaguely guess that the remnant soul that Lord Sixth mentioned included the remnant souls of the other four races’ ancestors and a large number of cultivators from the four races.
Although most of the four races had been devoured, the base number was huge after all. Even if only a small portion of the remnant souls were gathered together, their might would naturally be terrifying.
“There are still 11 magic apertures left before I can form the third ball of life fire!” Xu Qing said softly. After that, he checked his storage bag. There were two wish boxes inside. Ever since he knew how to open them, he had been nurturing them in his free time. Now, he wasn’t far from completion.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and looked toward the Nanhuang Continent behind him. Now that everything was dealt with, he missed Captain Lei a little.
During this half a month, the war between the Seven Blood Eyes and the Sea Corpse Race also changed. Firstly, the third highness did a shocking thing.
Xu Qing had never seen the third highness in the war. It was only when this matter spread that he knew that the third highness had accepted a mission to instigate rebellion when the war had just begun.
Xu Qing didn’t know how the third highness did it. He successfully instigated the three important allies of the Sea Corpse Race to defect on the native battlefield of the Sea Corpse Race, causing the situation of the Sea Corpse Race, which was originally in a stalemate with the Seven Blood Eyes, to instantly change and show signs of collapse.
This caused a series of chain reactions. On one hand, the Seven Blood Eyes’ momentum soared and their morale was high in the battle. On the other hand, the Wanggu Continent’s forces, especially the Seven Sects Alliance seemed to be caught off guard by the sudden change in the war situation.
Clearly, the Seven Sects Alliance wanted to see the Seven Blood Eyes and the Sea Corpse Race exhaust each other. Hence, they were only observing this war at the start. It was only when the Seven Blood Eyes fought their way to the Sea Corpse Race’s territory that they became vigilant.
This was because… the territory of the Sea Corpse Race was very close to the Wanggu Continent.
To be precise, there was a path that went from the Wanggu Continent to Sea Corpse Race’s main island, sub islands, Merfolk Race Islands, and the Seven Blood Eyes.
Before the third highness instigated the rebellion, the Seven Sects Alliance was paying close attention to the battle. They hoped that this war would continue and the Seven Blood Eyes’ foundation would be exhausted. However, the third highness’ success changed their attitude.
The Seven Sects Alliance began to interfere in the war.
Some rumors about the war appeared in the Seven Blood Eyes. Some people guessed that this war was about to end. The interference of the Seven Sects Alliance would make it very difficult for the Seven Blood Eyes to continue attacking.
Xu Qing didn’t pay attention to these subsequent events.
He wanted to make a trip back to the scavenger campsite and the forbidden zone to sweep Captain Lei’s grave. At the same time, he wanted to see if he could find any traces of Cross and Luan Tooth.
Two years had passed. He wondered how the two of them were doing now.
Xu Qing stared into the distance and stood up. He kept the magic ship and walked toward the teleportation array. On the way, he saw the captain bargaining with a fruit stall owner. His expression looked pained as he paid a few spirit coins to buy a bag of apples.
Upon seeing Xu Qing, the captain threw an apple over and also took out an apple for himself. He looked at Xu Qing and smiled.
“You’re going out? Bring me along, bring me along.”
Xu Qing took the apple. He didn’t believe that he had met the captain by chance. As such, his eyes revealed doubt.
The captain coughed and sighed as he ate the apple.
“I have no choice. The old man asked me to follow you and protect you before he returns. I reckon the old man is a little anxious. If he wants to take in a disciple, then do it. Why did he need to create these tests? Now, he is anxious, but cannot return due to the war.”
The captain shrugged and sold Old Master Seventh without hesitation.
A strange expression appeared on Xu Qing’s face. After some thought, he didn’t refuse.
After all, the wanted list of the Sea Corpse Race was still there. Moreover, Chen Feiyuan had told him about Purple Earth’s malice. If the captain was by his side on this trip, it would be safer.
However, correspondingly, the journey might head in a crazy direction too.
“I am making a trip home.” Xu Qing looked at the captain.
“Going home? Then I can be considered a guest. Haha, let’s go, let’s go. I’m already tired of staying in the sect recently. Let’s go out and relax.” As the captain spoke, he was even more enthusiastic than Xu Qing and quickly walked toward the teleportation array.
“Did you do something? Are you going out to lie low?” Xu Qing was surprised.
“How is that possible!” The captain immediately shook his head. After flying to the teleportation array, he asked Xu Qing for the location and immediately adjusted the teleportation array. Amidst Xu Qing’s confusion, the two of them disappeared in the teleportation array.
Not long after they left, a furious roar rang out from the Sixth Peak.
“Chen Erniu, you little bastard, you eat everything?”
Following the shout, a divine sense erupted from the Sixth Peak and swept through the entire main city, searching for the captain’s figure. Clearly, it was fruitless…
Behind the hall on the Sixth Peak, in the mountain forest, Lord Sixth looked at the covered hole in front of him with an ugly expression. Only the Sequences, and the top two or three among them at that, could do such a thing on the Sixth Peak.
This hole was very deep and meandered into the interior of the Sixth Peak’s mountain. That was where the core power source of the Sixth Peak’s war fortress mountain was.
The core power source of the Sixth Peak was a secret. It was enveloped by fog and it was very difficult to see what it was. However, in Lord Sixth’s eyes, everything was clearly visible.
He saw a deep bite mark on the toe of the core power source, and it was clearly missing a small piece.
“Was this Chen Erniu a dog in his previous life? He takes a bite of everything!” Lord Sixth took a deep breath. He was a little angry, so he looked at the power source that was enveloped by the fog.
“That kid should have seen it and probably guessed it… However, he should know his limits and know what to say and what not to say. After all, I endured it and didn’t use the core power even when fighting Bai Li… If he spread the word, the ancestor would skin him alive.”
