Chapter 194 - Xu Qing Is Also Crazy! (1)

Xu Qing looked at the mural and his heart trembled. Suddenly, the light from the black umbrella lantern in the mural shone brightly, as though it really existed. The light penetrated the mural and spread out to the outside world.

At the same time, the Spirit Breath Lantern in Xu Qing’s hand also flashed with an even denser light. It formed a sea of light instantly.

Xu Qing’s expression changed. He wanted to retreat but it was too late. His figure was enveloped by the sea of light.

In the blink of an eye, as the sea of light disappeared, Xu Qing’s figure also disappeared!

It was as though a long time had passed, but it also felt like an instance.

When Xu Qing’s perception turned from blurry to clear, the first thing he felt was an extremely terrifying pressure. It was like the roar of a peerless ferocious beast gushing over.

There was clearly no sound and it was clearly just pressure, but it still caused Xu Qing’s eardrums to buzz so loudly that blood started flowing down from his ears.

Not only the ears, blood flowed down his nose too. His eyes also felt such piercing pain that he was finding it difficult to open them.

His body churned intensely, as though his internal organs were trembling.

All of this transformed into intense pain, causing Xu Qing to not dare to touch anything in the surroundings when he couldn’t open his eyes.

He squatted and instinctively assumed an attacking posture. At the same time, the poison powder spread in the surroundings and the black iron stick was taken out. Without any hesitation, he directly unsealed the Diamond Sect’s ancestor.

As the seal was undone, a wail rang out from the iron stick.

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor woke up. However, in the next instant, he howled miserably.

“Master, I was wrong. I was really wrong. What is this place? Heavens, here… here…”

“Master, do you want to throw me here and make me suffer here forever? I’ve read many ancient books and many of the characters in them were dealt with like this.”

“Master, I’m really sincere in surrendering and becoming your artifact spirit. Don’t kill me. I’m very obedient. I know my mistake. I’ll be honest. Actually, I buried a lot of spirit stones in another place. I also promised a lot of money to some fellow Daoists and told them to find you if I lost contact with them.”

“Master, I’ll tell you who they are now. I’ll help you kill them!”

“Shut up!” Xu Qing couldn’t open his eyes and gritted his teeth.

“Tell me what’s in the surroundings!”

The Diamond Sect’s ancestor trembled even more. However, he didn’t dare to disobey Xu Qing’s words. His life soul was in the other party’s hands, and his life and death could be decided with a single thought.

As such, he hurriedly spoke with a trembling voice.

“Master, this place seems to be an altar. The surroundings are filled with a sea of bones. We’re at a high place and there’s a staircase that goes down in front of us. At the end of it, there’s a path with cliffs on both sides. At the end of the path is a circular altar.

“Ahead of the altar is filled with bones. Heavens, this place is too big. There are also three colossal statues ahead!”

“Are the three statues standing side by side?” Xu Qing said in a low voice.

“No, one is standing and two are bowing.” The Diamond Sect’s ancestor had no idea that he had circled between life and death.

“Continue.” Xu Qing slowly spoke.

“That person standing there is a giant with a nine-headed snake wrapped around his body. He’s like a god. F*ck!! What the hell is this? I feel like I’m going to go blind just by looking at him. If it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t have a mortal body and am an artifact spirit, I might really have gone blind… Master, I was wrong. Where is this…”

As the Diamond Sect’s ancestor dawdled, Xu Qing’s heart trembled. He could tell that he was in the world on the murals.

After pondering for a moment, he didn’t speak. Instead, he casually sealed the Diamond Sect’s ancestor and made him continue to sleep. He silently waited for his body to adapt and recover.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn passed, as the recovery ability of the purple crystal in his body continued to spread, Xu Qing slowly got used to the pressure in the surroundings to a certain extent.

Although intense pain still filled him and the feeling of his body collapsing didn’t dissipate, he still forced himself to open his eyes and see everything in his surroundings clearly.

This place was indeed as the Diamond Sect’s ancestor had described. The place Xu Qing was in was like a huge cave or another world.

The steps ahead were huge and didn’t look like a place for humans to walk. In the sea of bones at the front, there were three majestic statues.

The unbearable pressure that Xu Qing was facing came from them.

Xu Qing’s eyes stung and bled. After he gritted his teeth and persisted in sweeping his gaze over, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He saw the black umbrella lantern hanging from the mouth of a snake head that was coiled around the towering giant in the sea of bones.

This black umbrella lantern shone with thousands of lights and auspicious colors, illuminating the worlds on the giant’s shoulders, making these two worlds lifelike.

Xu Qing’s breathing instantly became hurried and his heartbeat incomparably intense. His mind was buzzing and his eyes were wide open as he stared fixedly at the black umbrella lantern.

“Life lantern?”

Xu Qing’s mind trembled intensely. The captain’s description of the life lantern earlier appeared in his mind and an indescribable desire rose in his heart.

Although he had guessed it when he arrived, he was still shocked by this scene.

There was actually a life lantern here!

If this matter was spread, the competition outside would probably end immediately. All eyes would be gathered here and the Seven Sects Alliance of the Wanggu Continent would rush over immediately.

In reality, that was indeed the case. Once this matter was exposed, the outside world would definitely go crazy. Compared to this life lantern, the merfolk race was completely unimportant.
