Chapter 712: Brothers With Unique Abilities

Xu Qing looked at the fingers in the bubbles. Then he looked up at the Captain.

The Captain looked back at him with a sincere expression. “What do you think, little Ah Qing? We really did well, didn’t we? Hahaha!”

Xu Qing didn’t reply. He tapped into his cultivation base, causing his energy to surge. At the same time, a secret trove appeared behind him, causing everything around them to tremble. His eyes became pitch black as taboo poison spread. A sun and moon rose in his secret trove, and the heavenly dao bluegreen dragon roared as flames rose up around it. The furnace was burning.

At the same time, threads of natural laws spread through the secret trove, surrounding Xu Qing. The natural and magical laws of his secret trove were turning the entire area around him into his own personal battlefield. As he stood on that battlefield, he pulsed with a heavenly dao sensation. Things weren’t over yet, though. Mutagen flourished around him, the aura of taboo poison.

The Captain saw all of that, and though it caused his heart to sink, he plastered a glaring expression onto his face.

“Little Ah Qing! Are you telling me you don’t trust me, your Eldest Brother?”

The Captain tapped into his own cultivation base, causing a secret trove to appear behind him as well. His secret trove was different from Xu Qing’s. It didn’t contain a world, but rather, a pitch-black hell like the Nine Serenities. It echoed with howls that could shake the heart and mind, which created personal natural laws for him that spread out and squared off against Xu Qing’s magical laws.

“Apparently, little Ah Qing, I need to assert my dignity as the Eldest Brother!” The Captain waved his hand, and his eyes glittered with blue light.

However, Xu Qing wasn’t done yet. The violet moon glittered as it rose out of his secret trove and into the sky. As it rose, it cast violet moonlight down. It wasn’t made of ordinary beams of light, but rather... violet threadworms. The threadworms filled heaven and earth, sometimes revealing their original form, other times appearing as mere moonlight. It was extremely gruish.

When the light touched the Captain, his mind spun. His blue light was being covered by violet light! And yet, he was the Eldest Brother, so he quickly unleashed a new power. Faces appeared within his pupils, which also had faces in their own pupils, and so on. Blue light shone brightly, spreading out to cover him. And where it touched him, blue worms appeared, their eyes glittering with anticipation.

“The two of us haven’t fought each other in a long time, little Ah Qing. The last time was on the Forbidden Sea! Come, come. Let’s see who will win and who will—” [1]

Before the Captain could even finish speaking, thunderous rumbling sounds echoed out from Xu Qing. Violet light exploded as he lifted his right hand and pointed at the sky. He was pointing directly at the broken face of the god. It was very reminiscent of the scene back in the Moon Palace when he had summoned the broken face from inside his violet crystal. It almost looked like he was doing the same thing over again. Except there was no image of the broken face inside the violet crystal.....

That said, the Captain didn’t know that. Eyelids twitching and heart racing, he swallowed his words, blinked a few times, and then laughed heartily.

“Don’t be so impulsive, little Junior Brother. I just have a bad memory, that’s all. Ahemmm.” The Captain’s hand snapped out in front of him to reveal three feathers.

“There were six, not three,” Xu Qing said, the violet light growing more intense.

The Captain’s heart rate increased yet again, all while his confidence fell. Keeping a serious look on his face, he took out three more feathers from his bag of holding. “Errrrm, right. Well, anyway, little Ah Qing, this really is all we got.”

The Captain sighed, calmed his cultivation base, and then looked helplessly at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing’s energy also faded away. The violet moon returned to his secret trove, the secret trove faded away, and everything went back to normal.

Seeing that, the Captain breathed an inner sigh of relief, but at the same time felt very pleased with himself. Oh, little Ah Qing. You’re just too inexperienced.

“A god world!” the Captain said, nodding earnestly.

At first, Xu Qing wasn’t inclined to believe the Captain. However, the Captain seemed very serious. Although Xu Qing had some suspicions, he didn’t give voice to them. And with that, they had a friendly discussion. Xu Qing ultimately didn’t want Zhang Siyun’s flesh and blood. However, he did take the violet thorn from the vine that had been wrapped around Zhang Siyun.

The Captain was fine with that distribution. After everything was split up, the Captain’s eyebrows shot up and he looked at Xu Qing.

“Little Ah Qing, we’re pretty much done here in the Moonrite Region. Just wait for me for a couple days. My ex-wife hasn’t returned any of my messages, but I know shē’s still around. I’m going to find hēr to catch up on old times. Once I return, we can head back to Sea-Sealing County!”

Licking his lips, the Captain waved and vanished off into the distance.

After watching the Captain leave, Xu Qing settled down cross-legged. The area had been sealed by the both of them, using the Captain’s blood, making it a very suitable place for a session of secluded cultivation. What was more, the Heir Apparent and his siblings were watching over the Moonrite Region now, so things were relatively safe.

Not bothering with anything else, Xu Qing looked down at the violet thorn in his hand. It glittered with a light that looked very similar to what the violet crystal emanated. Most importantly, holding that violet thorn caused the violet crystal to pulse with distinctive fluctuations.

They must have the same origin.

Eyes shining with determination, he tapped into the violet crystal. Violet light surged around him, spreading to cover him and everything in the area. Then, the violet thorn glittered as he absorbed it. Violet light scattered as Xu Qing looked at his empty hand. Eyes gleaming, he focused on the violet crystal.

The crystal didn’t look very different compared to before. Except... the inside of the crystal didn’t have a gauzy mist like it usually did. Instead, there was a vortex. The vortex spun silently. There was no way to tell where it led.

Xu Qing wasn’t very sure what this change meant. He inspected the violet crystal with divine sense, but the vortex seemed to go on forever. No matter how far he sent his divine sense into it, he couldn’t find the end. However, as he got deeper, he felt a sensation of danger. It was almost as if there were gazes inside that were shifting in his direction. After a short time, he retracted his divine sense. He didn’t want to do anything rash.

Taking a deep breath, he took out the bag the Captain had given him.

Crimson Mother’s flesh can provide powerful nourishment for other gods. But it can be considered massive good fortune for me as well. The only question is how much it will benefit my cultivation base to put it in my secret trove and burn it in the heavenly dao furnace.

His heart filled with anticipation. After everything he had experienced in the Moonrite Region, and after personally witnessing a battle between gods... Xu Qing was more determined than ever to become stronger.

That was especially true considering... what Li Zihua’s fourth son had said to him before dying.

“Could it be that my past is actually your future...?”

Xu Qing sat there quietly as his secret trove thrummed behind him. His eyes glittered coldly. Only by getting stronger could he qualify to search for the Crown Prince of Violet and Cyan and kill him. Only by getting stronger could he delve into the secrets of this world, and uncover the truth about everything. Only by getting stronger could he qualify to turn everything around!

Xu Qing hefted the bag and put it into his secret trove!
