Between the heavens and the earth, the ripples were like ripples, spreading out in all directions.
Xu Qing's body gave off countless strands of grey fog.
This Origin Power that came from the Shamans allowed him to withstand the pressure and turn his head to take a look even though he was so far away.
After taking a look, Xu Qing immediately withdrew his gaze. He didn't even look back as he charged forward.
From afar, the dense grey fog surrounded Xu Qing and covered the sky. With the help of the grey fog, his speed became even more shocking.
More than ten breaths later, when Xu Qing's figure disappeared over the horizon, the fog here had decreased by 30%.
To be more precise, it didn't decrease, but the 30% of the fog at the core seemed to have gained life and was flowing into the distance.
As Xu Qing moved forward, the flow became even more violent. It was as if the fog in the Jiuli Restriction had split into two.
The wind formed by the flow of the fog howled across the world. Four hours later, the fog at the edge of the Jiuli Restriction suddenly became violent and spread out. It broke through the boundary of Jiuli and appeared in the outside world.
Soon, a giant cloud of fog charged out from Jiuli.
This cloud of fog was terrifying and was filled with a large amount of grey fog. Because the fog was so dense, it formed a giant grey vortex.
If a cultivator was nearby and saw this, they would be shocked and their hearts would rumble.
The aura of this fog vortex was simply too shocking.
At the same time, this was the first time the fog had come out of the Jiuli Restriction. Before this, the fog of Jiuli had a boundary and wouldn't spread out.
Until today, it changed.
There was a figure inside the fog vortex. It was Xu Qing. He had successfully left the Jiuli Restriction!
Although people who entered the Jiuli Restriction would form a karmic bond with the grey fog and couldn't leave, he followed his own thoughts and left with the fog.
As for the change at the core, he had no time to think about it. The moment he appeared outside, Xu Qing's speed increased once more and he charged forward.
He had to find a place to recover as soon as possible.
In addition, he still couldn't absorb the grey fog into his body, so it was very conspicuous.
If this continued, it wouldn't be good for hiding.
If he encountered a great prodigy like Ji Dongzi in his current state, it would be very disadvantageous.
He needed time to completely absorb the grey fog.
So Xu Qing's body flickered and he descended from the sky. The moment he landed, he stomped his right foot and his body merged with the ground. As he sank, he also brought the grey fog with him.
When it reached a depth of more than ten thousand feet, the gray fog merged with the outside world, and there weren't many traces of it left behind.
Only then did Xu Qing let out a sigh of relief.
However, he knew that this place wasn't safe because it was too close to Jiuli. so he gritted his teeth and continued moving underground........ of.... After one day, he finally found a suitable place...
. that place.......
This mountain range could better conceal the gray fog and form a natural barrier.
........ Xu of the Jiuli of Jiuli.....
"There's no point in continuing to look for a hiding place. I'm hiding from the other earth cultivators who participated in the Great Hunt, not the three gods."
"If the Three Gods want to find me, then it doesn't matter whether I hide or not in the Mountain and Sea Domain."
Xu Qing was well aware of this point. After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he closed his eyes. The purple crystal within him began to emit a purple light that enveloped his body and began to recover.
Time passed by slowly.
Three days later, Xu Qingshuang, who was sitting cross-legged, opened her eyes. Her eyes were shining with a brilliant purple light. The wounds on her body had completely healed, but the injuries in her body had only healed a little.
This time, his injuries were too severe. Even with the Purple Crystal, it would take some time for him to recover.
However, Xu Qing already had the combat strength. The next step was to absorb the grey fog into the purple crystal...
. Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He knew that the grey fog didn't follow him. It followed the nine skulls of Jiuli.
After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes and merged his mind with the purple crystal. He tried all kinds of methods to absorb the grey fog.
This was the process of exploring the skulls of Jiuli. Therefore, it wasn't very fast. However, as Xu Qing studied the nine skulls in the purple crystal, the grey fog in the soil around him slowly gathered towards him. Strands of grey fog came from all directions and entered his body. They flowed along his flesh and entered the purple crystal on his chest.
However, the process was still a little slow. Two days later, as the purple crystal shone intensely, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly opened.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. He raised his right hand and placed it in front of his chest. "I've finally merged my imprint into these nine skulls. I've barely become one with them. They no longer reject me!"
"Witchcraft origin!"
As soon as he spoke, the nine skulls suddenly appeared in the shining purple light. While each of them looked ferocious, they also exuded a sense of the same origin as Xu Qing.
"Return!"
Xu Qing's right hand that was forming a seal pressed outwards.
The grey fog that flowed around him suddenly paused. In the next breath, it became violent. It drilled out from the soil in all directions and quickly merged with the nine skulls.
The fog became less and less.
Grey flesh grew out of the nine skulls.
In the end, when the fog completely merged with the nine skulls, their appearance changed drastically. They became … Blood Inner Lanterns!
The nine lanterns were grey in color. They seemed to be made of flesh and blood. However, their essence was still grey fog.
At this moment, they floated around Xu Qing and rotated slowly in the purple light.
Xu Qing stared at them. He could clearly feel that the nine lanterns formed by the Nine Li Skulls shared the same origin as him. However, this connection was very faint. It could be erased and stripped away at any time.
In the end, this was a seal that he used the purple crystal to seal. It did not truly merge with him, so it did not completely belong to him.
It was considered half an external object. At the same time, because of the appearance of the ninth skull, the memory fragments in his mind. Therefore, a complete history of that era was reflected in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness.
It was not much different from his previous guesses and judgments. Overall, this was a backstory.
As for the history after that, there was no information in the skull's memory fragments.
After all, the skull's memory stopped at the moment of its death.
As for why that Grand Minister did this, there was no answer in the memory fragments.
There was also no answer as to how and when the three Gods of Sun, Moon, and Star appeared.
Xu Qing muttered to himself. It was not difficult to guess the history after that from the clues that he had.
The three Gods might have been on the same side as the Spider God. It was also possible that they appeared later and plundered everything here.
In any case, a vast divine mountain appeared in the sky of the Dark Heaven Great Wizard Tribe one day.
When the mountain fell, the three Gods walked out. They were high and mighty.
Also, because of their arrival, the Dark Heaven Great Wizard Tribe changed its name to the Fire Moon Mysterious Sky Clan. Therefore, there was a subsequent history and the glory of today.
Judging from this ending, Xu Qing could not tell for a moment whether it was good or bad for this tribe.
It was bad. However, this tribe not only survived but also reached an amazing height.
It was good. However, the stab in the back hidden in history was a betrayal that made people sigh.
Especially in the current era, the Nine Li Skulls were vilified and became the Grand Minister's mount. After the death of the Great Wizard who had sacrificed everything for this tribe, the ferocious beasts that were transformed from his blood also had the same fate.
This kind of history made up by the descendants made Xu Qing sigh.
"Only those who are alive are qualified to write history."
"This is the Grand Minister's beautification of his own affairs. At the same time, it is also what the Gods want to see."
Xu Qing recalled how the three Gods suppressed the Spider God Shrine at the end. He also thought of the half-smile on the Team Leader's face when he checked the Nine Li Forbidden Land in the Holy City.
At that time, the Team Leader took out a prawn that had been split in half. Xu Qing understood that prawn meant a blind man who made up nonsense.
Xu Qing shook his head.
When did the three Gods of Sun, Moon, and Star appear in the Fire Moon and whether they had anything to do with this conspiracy? These questions were meaningless to Xu Qing.
"Now, the most important thing for me is how to convert the Nine Li Skulls sealed in the purple crystal into my combat power and improve my cultivation."
"Let them truly fuse with me!"
Xu Qing's expression was resolute. He already had an answer in his heart as to how to do this.
"Now, I have three Divine Treasures and an Emperor Sword Secret Treasure. I only need one more to complete it …"
"Originally, it could be formed in the form of the Red Mother, but there are hidden dangers. If I refine the Nine Li Skulls into a Secret Treasure, everything will be solved. The Nine Li Skulls are the pinnacle of the Witchcraft Path. For the Spider God to value them so highly, it's obvious that they are not weaker than the Red Mother. In fact, they might even surpass her. It's very suitable to be my fifth Secret Treasure. This is a Witch Treasure.
"After it becomes my Witch Treasure, it will naturally become one with me. It won't be easily separated. The fog of the Nine Li Skulls will also become my means!"
A dark light shone in Xu Qing's eyes. He had a strong sense of the Witchcraft Origin gray fog. He knew how domineering it was to repel Gods and cultivators.
When he thought of this, Xu Qing stood up. His expression was solemn as he bowed to the Nine Li Skulls.
This bow was a bow of Karma, a bow of respect for glory!
Then, he sat down, closed his eyes, and began to refine it!
At the same time, in the depths of the Nine Li Forbidden Land, which was some distance away from him, the suppression of the three Gods on the shrines had ended.
As the shrines of the three Gods dissipated, the mud on the ground returned to normal. The fog in the surroundings flowed and covered all traces.
Under the mud, the seal of the Spider God in the shrines became denser. Its last breath seemed to be showing signs of extinguishing.
On the other hand, everything on the bone ash mountain below was normal. There were no changes.
However, in the depths of the mountain where outsiders could not see, a sigh was faintly echoing.
It was a figure hidden in the bone ash mountain. This figure exuded the vicissitudes of time and was extremely ancient.
He was motionless as if he was a corpse.
However, at this moment, he opened his eyes.
If the cultivators of the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan were here and saw this person's appearance, they would be extremely shocked.
This was because he looked exactly the same as the Grand Minister of the Flaming Moon Mysterious Sky Clan who had fallen countless years ago!
