Chapter 1057 The Change in the Moon Rebel

Chapter 1057 The Change in the Moon Rebel

On the shore of the Sacrificial Yin River, the old man from the inn, who had traveled tens of thousands of miles from Fenghai County, was complaining about the hardships of the journey and the difficult life of Ling'er, who couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well…

At this moment, the person in question, Ling'er, was happily sitting cross-legged in the back room of the apothecary. The carefree life of these days, the sweet approval from the old grandpas and grandmas, and her relationship with Xu Qing made her feel like a little princess. Her face had even become a bit rounder.

It was a little chubby, and it made her look rather adorable.

Right now, she was holding the bone pill Xu Qing had given her.

Since this bone pill was kept by the clay fox, it was naturally extraordinary. It must have been refined from an almighty expert of the Ancient Spirit Race.

Perhaps it didn't have much meaning to other races, but to the Ancient Spirit Race, it was a supreme treasure.

This was especially so for Ling'er. She had the blessing of the Ancient Spirit Race's luck, so she didn't have to worry about her bloodline being cursed for the time being. Hence, there were no additional restrictions when absorbing the power of this bone pill. Her own limit was the limit of her absorption.

Moreover, with Xu Qing guarding at the side, there was no room for error.

Shortly after, as Ling'er circulated her cultivation base, the bone pill gradually melted and turned into wisps of silver fog that gushed into her mouth and nose and spread throughout her body. At the same time, the fluctuations of her cultivation base suddenly rose.

When she first arrived at the Moon Worship Region with Xu Qing, her cultivation was at the Foundation Building realm. However, it was unstable. After experiencing a series of things, it had already stabilized.

The cultivation method of the Ancient Spirit Race was different from the other races. They didn't seem to need to experience the process of opening their magic apertures and life fire. With the bone pill nourishing her, the aura on Ling'er's body approached the Golden Core Realm.

Xu Qing also felt that this scene was peculiar.

"It's similar to the Poison Restriction Pill… The cultivation method of ancient times is different from now."

Xu Qing mumbled to himself. After the Poison Restriction Pill from the wish box fused into his body, it looked like this. However, as Xu Qing and the Poison Restriction Pill were not of the same origin, he chose to merge it into the Heavenly Palace as an indirect method, serving as a preliminary control technique.

However, it was different for Ling'er.

As all the silver fog gushed into Ling'er, the bone pill disappeared from her hand. When it appeared, it was in her body as though it had become an inner core.

In an instant, the power of her bloodline erupted. As her qi and blood surged, one could vaguely see an armored war goddess manifesting behind her.

This woman was tall and beautiful. Her killing intent was especially obvious. She held a spear and one could see dragons and snakes moving around her, roaring at the sky.

This was the true body of the Ancient Spirit Race.

This race was born as snakes and took on human forms when they became adults. After their bloodline matured, they would have celestial dragons as companions. Dragons and snakes protected them and their combat bodies were astonishing.

"Monster!"

A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes. He realized that Ling'er's cultivation method was similar to that of some fierce beasts, focusing on refining her own inner core by tapping into her bloodline.

This breakthrough was of great significance to Ling'er, and it would take time for her to finish it. Very soon, Ling'er, who was immersed in her cultivation, transformed into a beam of light and landed on Xu Qing's arm, becoming a mark.

Through the mark, Xu Qing could clearly sense Ling'er's condition. After sensing that everything was going smoothly for her, Xu Qing checked his nascent souls.

"Other than the Purple Moon, I have to raise the other nascent souls to the level of attracting the fifth tribulation as soon as possible."

"After experiencing the fifth life tribulation, I'll be at the perfected Nascent Soul Realm."

"Also, I have to send the kidney to Eldest Senior Brother."

At the thought of this, Xu Qing took out the mirror and stepped into the highest hall of the Moon Rebel Hall, merging with the statue. The instant he opened his eyes, he heard his captain calling out.

"Little Qing, I can feel my kidney!"

"It's with you, right?"

"Junior Brother, you must have paid an extremely painful price for me. Eldest Senior Brother won't forget this!"

On the gate, the captain's small totem appeared, revealing an excited face.

Xu Qing glanced at him. With a wave of his hand, a golden kidney flew out and headed straight for the totem. It instantly fused into it. Very soon, the captain's comfortable voice rang out from the totem.

"I've finally become a complete man again!"

"Junior Brother, all our preparations are complete now. We're just short of pushing open this door. Don't worry, you and I will cooperate from the inside and outside. Moreover, with those divine son's blood, we'll be able to break through it very soon!"

The captain was in high spirits. Clearly, the return of the kidney had boosted his confidence greatly.

"By the way, Junior Brother, do you have any clues about that clay fox's identity?"

Xu Qing nodded.

"It's Star Flame High God."

The captain's eyes narrowed.

Xu Qing told the skipper everything, including the place he went to with the clay fox in the end and the additional clay door there.

The captain fell into deep thought.

"So it's this person. I've never seen her before but Junior Brother, according to your description, this flirtatious high god should have ill intentions."

The captain licked his lips and talked in a low voice.

"Junior Brother, you've done enough for Eldest Senior Brother. I can't bear to see you continue. How about this… you introduce me to this sultry… ahem, high god."

"I'll pay the price!"

The captain's tone was solemn, as though he could give up anything for his junior brother.

"Doesn't the Star Flame High God like yang essence? Let me do it!"

"As the Eldest Senior Brother, regardless of whether it's out of friendship or morality, I have the responsibility. I'll pay the price. I'll give my yang essence to this high god!"

The captain's tone was filled with grief and indignation, and his expression was filled with determination.

"Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother. I've introduced you to Her. She thinks you're ugly."

Xu Qing was helpless. This was actually one of his original ideas.

The skipper was stunned and looked at Xu Qing hesitantly. He couldn't figure out if Xu Qing's words were a rebuttal after hearing his intentions or if the truth was indeed so.

However, no matter what, although there was an additional god, causing there to be more variables in the future, it still increased the possibility of success. Hence, the skipper coughed and didn't continue the previous topic.

In the following days, other than Xu Qing's daily cultivation, he also sent over divine son blood and with the captain's resistance from inside, the rumbling of the gate of the highest hall became increasingly loud.

The Crimson Goddess totem on it also began to burn and became blurry at a pace visible to the naked eye.

If this continued, the day it broke was clearly not far away.

The cultivators of the Moon Rebel Hall were already used to the daily tremors of the highest hall and weren't in the mood to pay much attention. During this period of time, as the Red Moon Star got closer and the Red Moon Shrines closed the net, the entire Moon Worship Rebellion Army was in danger.

More than ten days later, a drastic change happened.

The second hall master of the Moon Rebel Hall had died in battle!

His death was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Moon Rebel Hall. Blood flowed like a river in that fight and countless people died. While it caused endless sorrow, it also caused the firm hearts of the people to waver.

The fourth hall master, Tian Nanzi, who had gone to reinforce them, was also heavily injured and had no strength to turn the situation around. He could only retreat with the remaining forces of both sides.

Before the people of the Moon Rebel Hall could recover from this drastic change, an event even greater than the death of the deputy hall master shook the entire Moon Rebel Hall.

The first hall master and the fifth hall master chose to betray the Moon Rebel Hall and join the Red Moon, becoming cultivators of the Red Moon.

In order to prove their allegiance, they used their authority to seal the entrance to the Moon Rebel Hall, preventing all Moon Rebel cultivators from entering.

This matter caused a monstrous commotion. One had to know that entering the Moon Rebel Hall was the last barrier for the Moon Rebel cultivators. Now that they couldn't use the Moon Rebel Hall to hide, it was equivalent to cutting off their path of survival.

Although they still had third and fourth hall masters, with one still holding on and the other alive after being defeated and chased, the first hall master's authority was the greatest among them. Hence, they couldn't remove the seal on the Moon Rebel Hall in a short period of time.

Most importantly, after this incident, the cultivators of the Moon Rebel Hall also experienced a serious crisis of trust.

It had to be uttered that the betrayal of the two deputy hall masters, regardless of whether they were Red Moon's original preparations or their desire for life, caused the Moon Rebel Hall to collapse at this instant.

And the root cause of all this could be traced back to the fact that for many years, the highest hall of the Moon Rebel Hall had never been opened, there had been no true hall master, and thus the group had been without a leader, disorganized and scattered.

The situation had reached its most despairing moment. It was the same for the chaos in the Moon Worship Region. The Red Moon Star in the distant horizon also covered half of the sky.

No one knew where hope was or if it would appear.

Everything entered a countdown.

At this moment, the only blissful land, the desert, was like the last lantern in the night.

At that moment, outside the lantern, the heavily injured fourth hall master, along with his remaining followers and the remnants of the second hall master's group, were silently approaching.

They had nowhere to go. The desert was their sole remaining destination.

Most of these hundreds of thousands of cultivators appeared lost, their expressions dim. Death had become something they no longer cared much about. Numbness slowly spread throughout their bodies, exhaustion becoming an unbearable burden on their lives that they couldn't shake off even a bit.

However, among these cultivators, there was a group of people who were completely different from the other cultivators in terms of mentality. There was no confusion or gloom on them and they were filled with excitement and persistence.

It was as though fatigue wasn't a burden to them because hope had ignited in their hearts, turning into flames that were burning fiercely.

There were about thousands of these people. They seemed to have formed their own faction and gathered together, with both strong and weak cultivators among them.

They were extremely united.

What stood out was their attire. Though the colors and styles differed, there was a common feature.

The character '?[1]' was embroidered on the chest.

On the back, there was the character '?[2]' embroidered.

This group of people was none other than the followers of the mysterious and legendary Master Pill Nine in Moon Rebel Hall!

They were led by a woman. This woman's cultivation was at the Spirit Repository realm. Although she was wearing a long robe, it couldn't conceal her figure. Her appearance, while not breathtaking, still qualified her as a beautiful woman.

She wasn't the strongest in the crowd, but this group of followers of Master Pill Nine spontaneously took her as their leader. Clearly, this woman had an extremely high status among these followers.

"Everyone, hold on a little longer. We're about to reach the green sand desert!"

"According to the Dao voice I listened to for two months, I can sense the profundity of Master. Master uses green sand as a furnace and the sun and moon as fire. He uses the rules of heaven and earth as medicinal ingredients and condenses the white wind to refine pills!"

"As for the white wind, it only exists in this green sand desert. So… Master must be in this desert!"

The woman's voice was impassioned as she talked loudly to the people around her.

[1] ? means nine.

[2] ? means pill.
