Chapter 1018 Star Descent, Hair Like Blood

Chapter 1018 Star Descent, Hair Like Blood

The world rumbled and a violent wind blew.

The sea of light in the sky churned. Under everyone's gazes, the nail that was constantly taking shape didn't completely manifest. After it shone to a certain extent, it began to disintegrate.

In the back room, Xu Qing sat cross-legged and meditated. A rainbow-colored nascent soul floated in front of him.

Endless morning glow spread out from the rainbow-colored nascent soul and spread in all directions, transforming into a sea of light.

Xu Qing lifted his right hand and touched the nascent soul's hand.

One could clearly see the outline of a nail in Xu Qing's right palm. At that moment, it was dissipating and becoming blurry.

At first glance, the skin on his right hand was the same as the other parts. However, if one observed carefully, they would discover a slight difference. It was as though the skin on his right hand, especially the palm, was slightly fairer than the other parts.

It was as though it had been soaked for many years, giving off a pure feeling.

A while later, as the outline of the nail in Xu Qing's right palm completely disappeared, the nail formed by the sea of light in the outside world also collapsed and dissipated.

Xu Qing opened his eyes.

In an instant, all the morning glow rolled over and gathered in his morning glow nascent soul. The moment Xu Qing opened his eyes, the nascent soul also returned to his body.

Xu Qing sighed softly.

"In the end, I can't simulate the spells I saw in my memory. Moreover, there are restrictions to my transformation technique… It's not true that I can simulate all the spells I see in the future."

Xu Qing shook his head and stood up, walking out of the back room with regret.

The moment he walked out, he saw everyone in the hall.

Ning Yan looked at Xu Qing as though he was looking at a monster and wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wu Jianwu, on the other hand, had a dazed expression. He couldn't help but recall his first encounter with Xu Qing on the Forbidden Sea back then. At that time, he could still fight against the other party. It could basically be considered a draw.

But now…

Wu Jianwu felt disappointed. Immediately, his eyes turned red. He had been too lazy during this period of time. He wanted to continue nurturing his bloodline!

The parrot shuddered and didn't dare to speak.

Li Youfei lowered his head respectfully. Nether Fairy cast a deep glance at Xu Qing. As for Ancestor Mogui, this was the first time he focused his attention on someone other than the four Soul Accumulation cultivators.

Xu Qing's previous scene told him how extraordinary he was. This wasn't a power that a Nascent Soul cultivator could display. In fact, it wasn't something that even Spirit Repository could do.

This made him suddenly understand why this kid who walked out of the back room could be the core of this apothecary and sit together with the Soul Accumulation.

Compared to them, although Ling'er was also surprised, she was more proud.

The captain blinked in surprise.

As for Old Eighth, he looked at Xu Qing and grinned.

A strange look appeared in Fifth Sister's eyes. Although she didn't participate in the heir and Third Sister's guidance to Xu Qing, she could still see some clues now.

The heir nodded slightly as an unfathomable expression appeared on his face. At this moment, he didn't know that his and Xu Qing's master's expressions were actually becoming more and more similar.

As for Princess Mingmei, she looked at Xu Qing expressionlessly.

Xu Qing swept his gaze across Ning Yan and the others and knew why they were like this. After all, manifesting the ruler's nail would naturally cause shock.

However, in reality, Xu Qing was dissatisfied with his failure, especially with the expressions of Princess Mingmei and the heir. This made him sigh even more. Hence, he walked over and lowered his head to speak.

"Senior, I still failed."

The heir's face twitched slightly before it turned into disappointment.

"I saw."

The heir continued.

"However, you're still young after all. It's normal for you to fail occasionally."

Xu Qing nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Princess Mingmei spoke.

"Open your right hand."

When Xu Qing heard this, he stretched out his right palm.

At the next instant, Princess Mingmei, the heir, and Fifth Sister swept their divine consciousness across Xu Qing's palm. Their expressions turned strange, and the heir suddenly raised his hand.

Suddenly, a mass of black long hair appeared in front of him, continuously contracting and expanding. Within it, there were faintly countless fierce souls, emitting a power that affected the soul.

lightsn?v?l "Simulate it."

The heir looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't hesitate. The morning glow on his body instantly spread out. After enveloping the surroundings, it quickly gathered into a beam and landed on the black ball of hair. At the same time, his right palm grabbed at the ball of hair.

Immediately, black color appeared in his white palm. It gradually turned into a ball and became blurry.

At the next instant, something similar to a ball of hair appeared in front of Xu Qing. However, it wasn't real but hazy.

Moreover, its might was far inferior.

It was as though it only had a portion of its form and didn't possess any divine might.

However, this scene still moved Nether Fairy and Ancestor Mogui.

The heir fell silent. He felt a little tired.

He never expected that Xu Qing could really simulate his divine art by relying on the morning glow.

They were vastly different in might and couldn't even be compared.

It was only copied in form and didn't contain any divine might, nor did it contain laws or authority.

However… he was a Soul Accumulation cultivator. He had never seen or heard of a Nascent Soul cultivator who could do this.

'This kid's comprehension ability can be said to be monstrous!'

The heir didn't want to speak anymore.

Princess Mingmei also lifted her hand and waved it slightly.

? ?????  ??

?  ??????

Immediately, the chair at the side changed and transformed into a white pigeon that fluttered in front of her.

This pigeon looked ordinary but since it was formed by the hands of a Soul Accumulation, it was naturally not simple. One could see the sun, moon, and stars in its eyes, as though this pigeon could shuttle through time and fly through ages.

"Simulate!"

Xu Qing took a deep breath and used the same method to simulate it. He then pressed down on a chair at the side.

The chair instantly distorted and incomparably strange hair actually grew out. However, it was a pity that it didn't transform into a pigeon. Instead, its hair grew disorderly and in the end, it directly collapsed.

This scene caused Ning Yan and the others to be shocked. As for the parrot, its eyes instantly widened and its breathing became hurried. Its eyes revealed an intense light.

Xu Qing felt regret and spoke in a low voice.

"I still can't do it."

At the side, Old Eighth's interest was piqued. His body suddenly emitted an enraged emotion that affected the surroundings. After distorting everything, it vaguely formed a tyrannosaurus.

This beast's entire body was burning with flames, and every scale emitted a terrifying might. As its body moved, the Bitter Life Mountain Range trembled. Its teeth opened, revealing a sinister expression. Its voice also echoed in the apothecary.

"Try simulating me."

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu directly went limp. The others weren't any better. Xu Qing's breathing was hurried. Under this astonishing pressure, his soul and body were trembling.

In such a state, he couldn't simulate anything.

Princess Mingmei snorted coldly.

"Scram!"

As soon as she uttered that, Old Eighth's body and all the scenes outside instantly disappeared.

The world was normal and everything returned to normal.

Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief and lowered his head even more respectfully.

Princess Mingmei's expression didn't change at all as she calmly spoke.

"You can't do it because your current cultivation isn't enough. You lack laws and trump cards. Although your authority isn't bad, it's not omnipotent."

"All of this will change a lot when you reach the Spirit Repository."

"Also, you have to treat cultivation as…" Princess Mingmei was about to guide him in terms of comprehension. This was a habit of hers in her early years. Back then, she had taught all her disciples like this.

However, this time, she paused in the middle.

Xu Qing lifted his head and listened seriously.

Mingmei fell silent for a few breaths before speaking calmly.

"Think of it as an experience."

When Xu Qing heard this, he fell into deep thought.

His expression caused the heir and Princess Mingmei to instinctively look at each other. Just as they were about to continue speaking, the expressions of Mingmei and the heir changed at the same time. Their figures instantly disappeared and appeared in the sky.

At the same time, Old Eighth who had returned and Fifth Sister also appeared in the sky.

They all gazed at the horizon.

In the distant sky, the red light that was as viscous as blood was originally spreading according to a certain pattern in the past month. However, it suddenly erupted now.

The red light on the horizon instantly doubled in intensity. It was dazzling, causing vegetation, mountains, plains, rivers… everything to be dyed red!

At the source of the endless red light in the horizon, at this instant, a colossal object that was like a star appeared.

That was indeed a star.

Its entire body was red, as though it was formed from blood. It was incredibly large and shook the surroundings.

In fact, on this star, one could even see undulating mountain ranges and uneven surfaces.

It was the Red Moon!

It was flying toward the Moon Worship Region at an extremely fast speed.

Mountains crumbled one after another in the Moon Worship Region. Pieces of rubble, collapsed trees, and even everything, including some corpses, rose into the air to varying degrees.

From now on, they would float between sky and earth.

This was the atmospheric tide of the Red Moon.

Along with the tide, a tremendous oppressive force descended, causing the beings in the Moon Worship Region to howl in agony. Countless curses erupted within the mortal bodies, and even cultivators couldn't avoid it. Their expressions contorted in extreme pain.

Only high-level cultivators or cultivators who had consumed the curse-resolving pills could barely suppress it at this moment.

And this was only the beginning.

When this star grew larger and larger and finally substituted the entire sky, the ground would collapse, everything would rise into the air, and all living beings would perish.

Xu Qing and the captain materialized in the air and gazed at the horizon solemnly.

They weren't the only ones. At this moment, the experts of all the races in the Moon Worship Region were observing this from their respective areas and their minds were agitating intensely.

"Red Moon… can be seen with the naked eye."

Xu Qing's heart was also shaken. He could sense that his Red Moon authority… was clearly stronger than before.

It was as though the closer Red Moon was, the more astonishing his authority was.

"Junior Brother, do you remember what I told you before? When we see the Red Moon in the sky, that will be the day we set off?"

"Because normally, we can't enter the place we're about to go to. If we want to open it, there are a few necessary conditions. The most important one is green hair turned blood-red."

"Legend has it that the green sand desert is formed from a strand of hair. Look at this land. It's already as red as blood."

In the air, the captain uttered with a deep voice as he stared at the desert.

As far as Xu Qing could see, the desert below was no longer green under the illumination of the blood light on the horizon. It was completely red.

"Let's set off tonight."

The captain patted Xu Qing's shoulder and spoke softly.
