Almost at the instant the wish mask appeared…

In another fragmented space, the Demon Feather Great Emperor, who was cooperating with the Nether Flame avatar to restrict the Empress, seemed to have sensed something and abruptly turned his head to look at Xu Qing.

His mind rumbled.

He naturally knew what that mask was!

Over the years, in order to find this mask, he had searched almost the entire Demon Feather Holy Land. However, just as the black-robed man had said, this mask… couldn’t be found.

The more one wanted to find it, the more elusive it became.

“He actually has it!”

The Demon Feather Great Emperor’s breathing was hurried. His body moved and he was about to use all his strength to try to steal it. However, at this moment… the eyes of the Empress, who was restricted by him and the Nether Flame avatar, revealed a cold glint.

With a single step, She reversed everything, instantly turning from being restricted to restricting the other party.

This caused the Demon Feather Great Emperor to be unable to leave.

On the other side, as Xu Qing made the wish, the corners of the mask in front of him curled up. its smile covered almost all of its face, making it look even more strange.

A faint voice rang out in this world.

“The wish shall be fulfilled.”

“As for the price…”

The mask’s smile became increasingly bizarre. Before it could finish speaking, it turned into dust and dissipated in the wind.

The instant it dissipated, Xu Qing’s body also rumbled. An indescribable force that surpassed gods, cultivators, stars, and the cosmos descended at this moment.

It turned into a wisp of aura that blew onto Xu Qing’s current body.

At the next moment, the void disintegrated and everything separated.

It was unstoppable and couldn’t be blocked.

Xu Qing’s body trembled all over, and his physical form visibly began to disintegrate.

First, his face, losing its cohesion and integrity, peeled away during the disintegration, becoming a patch of crystalline light.

Next, the half-blood-thread body also succumbed to this irresistible disintegration force, first collapsing, then shattering, and eventually turning into a patch of crystalline light.

This lasted until the other half of his body also collapsed under this unimaginable wish power…

The vitality and everything in this body completely dissipated.

It was as though the essence that supported life had been sucked away at this moment. Hence, his flesh, blood, and everything separated. Under this shocking power, they all returned to their original state.

As for the crystalline light, it was formed by countless tiny transparent crystals that couldn’t be seen by the naked eye.

These crystals had no color. The color of the outside world was their color.

This was because the impurities in them had been wiped out and the remaining consciousness inside had also shattered.

What they had was the original source of life.

It was also the most primitive source!

As for Xu Qing’s soul, it floated in these crystal lights. As his divine sense spread out, the countless tiny crystals in the surroundings surrounded him in circles and collided with each other…

After absorbing Xu Qing’s color and aura, the crystals finally bloomed with the life spark that belonged to Xu Qing.

Within these sparks, there were Xu Qing’s memories, the reversal of time, the transformation of space, and the intertwining of Dao arts. There, based on Xu Qing’s soul, the soul source of his life was emanated.

It was also guidance.

Xu Qing’s soul source guided those crystals to reshape his body.

This process was usually very slow and could be considered creating something out of nothing.

Hence, Xu Qing’s soul suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the surroundings of the huge cauldron in the air. A large number of blue worms were moving around it.

“Eldest Senior Brother, give me my remains.”

Almost at the instant Xu Qing transmitted his divine sense, those blue worms shone with blue light and a wisp of gray light flew out from their foreheads.

When this light gathered together, it formed bone metal!

This bone metal was the last thing left from Xu Qing’s self-destruction back then.

It was also his corporeal source item!

The instant it returned and fused with Xu Qing’s soul, the reconstruction of his body in his wish had an even more perfect condition.

In that instant, under the guidance of his soul, the countless tiny crystals in the surroundings headed straight for the bone metal and became nourishment. With the original source of life, this bone metal… began to grow!

Gradually, it became a piece of bone.

Slowly, it became an entire set of bones.

From there, meridians, flesh, and skin appeared…

Finally, amid Erniu’s excitement and the witness of the world, a body that Xu Qing was incredibly familiar with… took shape!

A tall figure, with flowing purple hair and a handsome face, radiated an unparalleled perfection.

As for its aura, it wasn’t that of an immortal or a god but that of a mortal!

The most primitive mortal!

Just like a newborn baby.

A sense of purity permeated the air.

The meaning of purity was contained in this body.

Xu Qing’s soul fused perfectly with it. His perception told him that this… was his body.

His soul told him that this… was its most comfortable state.

Xu Qing opened his eyes.

A sense of rebirth, accompanied by the thought of belonging that he had not felt for a long time, rose in Xu Qing’s heart.

“This is my true body. As for the body formed from Desolate’s flesh and blood, it’s my divine avatar.”

Xu Qing mumbled and raised his head.

He didn’t look at the bone cauldron or where the Empress was. At that moment, there was only the crystal light in the surroundings in his eyes.

Rebuilding his body only consumed half of the original life source formed by Nether Flame’s body.

As for this body, it had no cultivation at that moment.

Hence, the thoughts that had been circling in his mind all these years also had a possibility of being implemented at this moment.

“I’ve already walked the path of combining immortal and god systems. There are too many restrictions and my growth is slow. Every step I take has shackles.”

“Therefore, this path shouldn’t be taken like this.”

“If it’s possible, I’ll definitely snatch back the divine avatar… and use it to walk the path of pure god.”

“As for my main body, it will walk… the path of pure immortal!”

“This is the path that belongs to me!”

Determination appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He no longer hesitated and suddenly inhaled.

Immediately, the tiny crystals that emitted the origin energy in the surroundings headed straight for him and fused into his body, transforming into pure spiritual energy.

This spiritual energy flowed through his meridians, instantly pushing his current mortal body from mortal to cultivator.

First level of Qi Condensation!

In the blink of an eye, as the origin energy fused into him, his cultivation base rose at an unbelievable speed.

He directly reached the tenth level of Qi Condensation.

To other cultivators, the tenth level was the limit of the Qi Condensation Realm. However, Xu Qing’s body had been reconstructed using the origin energy.

Hence, the limit of others wasn’t his limit.

In an instant, he reached the 19th level!

After that, he broke through and stepped into the Foundation Building realm.

All 121 magic apertures were instantly opened. After that, there were 26 magic apertures hidden in his body that were directly opened by the origin power.

This was unprecedented!

Amidst the rumbling, 14.7 magic apertures shone brightly in Xu Qing’s entire body, forming his life fire.

It wasn’t five balls of fire but nine!

Immediately after, under the nine fire, Xu Qing’s life lanterns appeared.

The life lantern was formed from bloodline and Xu Qing’s life lantern was in the shape of a sundial. As the life lanterns appeared one after another, they propped up the life fire, causing the flames to surge into the sky.

This scene caused Erniu’s heart to tremble.

He had lived for so many lives but he had never seen such a thing.

“However, I think I’ve heard rumors of… a path of the extreme immortal that is circulated in the Profound Earth’s star ring…”

While Erniu was in a state of shock, Xu Qing’s cultivation continued to rise.

Nine flames erupted and then the Heavenly Palaces emerged.

According to the legends of the Profound Earth, there were 33 skies.

Now, this legend became reality in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.

The 33 Heavenly Palaces rumbled and materialized. One could see a nascent soul shining with silver light sitting cross-legged in each of the Heavenly Palaces.

They were like immortals.

Xu Qing’s every step was done to the extreme.

This was the path of pure immortal he wanted to take, and also the path of extreme immortal that Erniu recalled.

As for the Spirit Repository after the Nascent Soul realm, under the push of the most primitive origin crystals, it also reached its peak.

The nine great spirit repositories were like nine vast and monstrous volcanoes that began to erupt.

Rumbling sounds spread in all directions from Xu Qing’s body.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see that even though the nine great spirit repositories were erupting like a furnace, the interior was empty. There were no divine powers or Dao arts.

Xu Qing fell silent and recalled all the divine arts in his life. With a thought, a dandelion appeared in a Spirit Repository.

This dandelion was imprinted with a divine art that Xu Qing had grasped the source of!

That was…

Fishing the Moon From the Well!

“The essence of Fishing the Moon From the Well… is the transformation between reality and illusion, the creation of something from nothing, the Dao of space.”

“Use this to imprint my secret repository.”

“As for the second one…”

As Xu Qing’s thoughts raced, he suddenly sensed something and abruptly stared at the dandelion where Fishing the Moon From the Well was.

At that moment, this dandelion gave off an overlapping sensation and rapidly separated, transforming into countless dandelions that scattered in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.

Looking at these dandelions that suddenly appeared, Xu Qing’s heart sank.

At the same time, the voice of a woman with an ancient feeling was transmitted to Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness through these illusory dandelions.

“There’s no need to be shocked. I used a secret art to transmit my divine sense to you.”

“You have finally stepped onto the path of the Profound Earth’s extreme immortal. Back then, I gave you ten breaths of time to comprehend the Profound Earth Dao Source. Today, I will follow the ancient agreement. Anyone who steps on the Profound Earth’s extreme immortal path will be given thirty breaths of time.”

“There’s a technique in the Profound Earth called the Eight Extremities. If you’re fated, you can obtain it.”

“That’s all.”

The voice gradually dissipated.

At the same time, outside the Demon Feather Holy Land, in the human capital of the Wanggu Continent, there was an ancient temple in a prosperous place.

It stood there but the people who passed by couldn’t sense it at all. It was as though it didn’t exist in reality.

At that moment, in the temple, an old man was leaving.

His back view looked bleak.

As for the Palace Master of the Summer Immortal Palace whom Xu Qing had seen here back then, she was sitting cross-legged with a mournful expression as she stared at the departing figure.

A small butterfly fluttered at the side and asked in confusion.

“Master, who is that old man? Also, why are you helping that hateful fellow? Also, why do you look so sad?”

The Palace Master sighed softly.

“He is my old friend, and with the coming change in the world, I wonder if his umbrella will be able to hold up…”
