843 Time Stands Still (2)

As it melted drop by drop, the density of the life lantern’s substances in Xu Qing’s bloodline increased again. This similar feeling made him aware that his life lantern was about to be formed.

Finally, on the 23rd day, Xu Qing, who was immersed in the magma, abruptly opened his eyes.

A 10,000-foot-long vortex appeared in his surroundings. As it rumbled, the Rainbow Wind Song Lantern completely disappeared. The second Sundial life lantern manifested in the life fog in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.

It was exactly the same as the first Sundial!

This was what a lantern that was truly born from the bloodline should be like.

It was the same for those rulers and their descendants.

If outsiders wanted to gather a complete set, the difficulty was much greater than assembling mismatched life lanterns.

As it appeared, the needle’s shadow began to move. In terms of time, there was also a difference of 14 hours between it and the first Sundial life lantern.

The two sundials operated at the same time, causing the flow of time outside the range of 10,000 feet to collide even more intensely. One could vaguely see spatial cracks being torn apart.

While it was shocking, Xu Qing also realized that the ability of his second life lantern also retained the soul defense of the Rainbow Wind Song.

Moreover, the mutual reinforcement between the two sundial Lamps was particularly astonishing, greatly surpassing the past record.

The Time Stasis Art he had developed had its power increased twofold.

As for the red crystals, Xu Qing immediately stored them in the box, isolating their aura.

Logically speaking, he had already done his best to conceal as many traces of this refinement as possible.

Only this vortex might attract attention, but due to its remote location, it wouldn’t draw too much attention. It wouldn’t be as sensitive as the compass detecting the heavenly fire crystals.

Xu Qing originally thought that this would allow him to avoid trouble to the greatest extent. However, sometimes, fate was unpredictable.

For example, at this moment, within this 10,000-foot-radius, as the vortex continued to spin, three red crystals were swept out of the depths of the magma and rotated with the vortex.

When Xu Qing saw this, his expression changed. He instinctively wanted to collect them but after some thought, he still gave up.

Even if he put them away now, the compass would have already sensed them. Hence, Xu Qing gritted his teeth and quickly left without collecting them.

He didn’t fancy these things.

If he could use this to lure away the people who were paying attention, it would be more convenient for him to hide.

As for what had happened in the Heavenly Fire Sea a month ago, although it was eased by the lack of results in the end, the Mirror Image Race and the Heavenly Mask Race didn’t give up.

It was because they had calculated that a considerable number of heavenly fire crystals had appeared, amounting to dozens.

Even if there were repetitions, the true number wouldn’t be small. After all, more than 20 of them appeared at the same time last time.

This number was enough for them to attach great importance to it. Even the state preceptor had personally come.

Therefore, almost the instant the heavenly fire crystals were swept out of the fire sea by the vortex, they had already locked onto this location. They originally thought that the heavenly fire crystals would disappear instantly like before.

However, after sensing that the compass still showed them, they immediately made a rush for this location.

Xu Qing, who was far away from the vortex, was moving extremely fast without stopping. However, he soon felt something amiss.

A team of Mirror Image Race cultivators in the distance seemed to have locked onto Xu Qing. They intercepted him from another direction. Among them, there were four Golden Core cultivators and two emitted Nascent Soul fluctuations.

One had experienced one tribulation and the other had experienced two tribulations.

After noticing Xu Qing, their expressions were excited. The Golden Cores retreated and immediately informed their race. As for the two Nascent Soul cultivators, they headed straight for Xu Qing.

“You can still find me?”

Xu Qing frowned. He deeply sensed the trouble brought about by the lack of information in an unfamiliar place.

“Could it be that fire crystals can be sensed even when placed in the box?”

Killing intent flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. During this period of time, he had accumulated a lot of killing intent in his heart. Seeing this, his killing intent instantly intensified.

“Since I lack information, I will just kill more and find out the reason!”

The Poison Restriction in Xu Qing’s body spread out again and his shadow spread rampantly. The fishbone emitted a sharp light and all the nascent souls in his body emitted energy fluctuations.

He was about to attack.

However, at that moment, a familiar blurry figure suddenly appeared behind the two Mirror Image Race cultivators who were rushing toward Xu Qing. It lifted its hands and patted them.

In the face of absolute strength, the two Mirror Image Race cultivators couldn’t even dodge. The moment they opened their mouths to scream, they directly collapsed and exploded. Their flesh shattered together with their nascent souls. Just like what Xu Qing had seen back then, their flesh and blood rapidly gathered.

This time, they didn’t gather into a mask but the mirrors of this race which were then taken away by the old man.

His body swayed. Those Golden Core Mirror Image Race members who were transmitting their voices to their race didn’t have the right to resist and instantly died, turning into mirrors and stored away.

After doing this, the old man glared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing frowned and also looked at the other party. He noticed that there was a mirror-like glove on the old man’s right hand that seemed to have some kind of isolating effect.

“Kid, why are you causing so much trouble!”

The old man said angrily.

“If it wasn’t for the fact that we’re both humans, I wouldn’t have bothered with you!”

“You look like a human from another region. Are you from the human race’s Grand Imperial Capital Region? Are you a descendant of those nobles?”

“You’re so unscrupulous here because you have good aptitude and complete life lanterns?”

“Let me tell you, this is the Moon Worship Region. Here, the human race is at the bottom of the hierarchy and is food!”
