Xu Qing’s mind rumbled and all his perception collapsed, turning into nothingness. His divine sense also dissipated from the Immortal Source.
As for that dandelion seed, it quivered and flew back slightly, before following its original trajectory and returning to the Immortal Source. However… the figures inside had changed from two to three!
But the third figure was blurry, as though it might dissipate at any moment.
Xu Qing’s true body was standing in the ancient temple, under the sea of fire, and outside the window of the Immortal Source. His eyes were closed and he was motionless.
The Summer Immortal Palace Master sighed softly with some regret.
The little butterfly naturally understood the meaning behind her sigh, so it immediately spoke in its crisp sound.
“Xu Qing is too greedy. The returning seed has yet to be purified by the Immortal Source, so it is very difficult to comprehend it. If it were purified by the Immortal Source to become a blank slate, it would be much simpler.”
The little butterfly’s words contained a hint of smugness and joy. It thought to itself, ‘It serves Xu Qing right for killing me so many times outside. That’s why I didn’t tell him this secret earlier.’
Amidst its joy, it continued to speak.
“Master, you helped him delay for ten breaths but he didn’t grasp the opportunity. This is his fate. There’s no need to sigh.”
“It’s fine. My comprehension ability is even better. I will work a bit harder and I will be stronger than him.”
“There’s a high chance that the figure Xu Qing left in the seed will dissipate on its own, proving that his comprehension has failed. Even if his comprehension ability is slightly inferior to mine, there won’t be enough time anyway.”
“Once that seed returns to the main body without an imprint, it will also be purified.”
H
So, Master, you don’t have to regret it.”
The little butterfly happily spoke, but the Summer Immortal Palace Master shook her head.
“What I regret isn’t this Xu Qing but that 1 chose you as my disciple too early.”
After saying that, the Summer Immortal Palace Master’s gaze landed on the dandelion seed Xu Qing had comprehended.
The little butterfly didn’t understand the meaning of these words and was stunned. Its gaze instinctively followed its master toward the seed. Just as it was about to ask, the eye on its wings suddenly narrowed.
Within the realm of the Immortal Source, the dandelion seed that had been sensed by Xu Qing was returning to its mother body. It wasn’t very far away, and it was estimated that it would only take several dozen breaths of time before it merged back into its mother body.
However, in the process of returning, the originally blurry third figure inside actually became clearer at an unbelievable speed!
The figure became more and more stable. contemporary romance
In the end, the figure even showed Xu Qing’s appearance.
This speed was something the little butterfly couldn’t imagine. In the past, it had comprehended purified seeds that were scattered outside, so it had sufficient time to comprehend them.
Generally speaking, it would be able to leave an imprint in a day or two.
That was why it had spoken like that earlier and didn’t think that Xu Qing could succeed. It was using itself as a reference. However, everything it saw now subverted its understanding, causing its mind to rumble like thunder. It was dumbfounded.
“Wha…”
At the same time, an earth-shattering storm erupted in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.
He beheld a rippling expanse of stars, akin to the surface of water.
Compared to the cosmos, this starry sky resembled a well.
“In the well lies all things, encompassing every divine skill, every magical treasure, every form imaginable…”
The ancient voice was faint yet resonant.
Entranced, Xu Qing immersed himself in it, his consciousness merging with the sound, sinking into the depths of this well.
Though his perception in the realm of the Immortal Source had collapsed, and his divine sense there had completely dissipated, the fleeting touch from before had imprinted the legacy in his consciousness.
Although it was only a wisp, it was enough. Xu Qing’s comprehension ability was so strong that even Old Master Seventh and the heir were astonished on numerous occasions. Therefore, this wisp of comprehension in his sea of consciousness was more than sufficient.
Hence, under this immersion, the starry sky in Xu Qing’s eyes slowly calmed down as the ripples dissipated. At the same time, everything above it was reflected.
Xu Qing vaguely saw himself in the well formed by the starry sky.
On the surface of the water, he saw all his god forms, his Heavenly Dao, all his magic artifacts, and everything in his golden cores.
God’s Finger, Ghost Emperor Mountain, D132, morning glow…
Not only that, but there were also all the cultivation arts, spells, and even divine arts he had cultivated since he started his cultivation journey.
Golden Crow Refines All Life, Under the Nine Springs, and so on… Even his figure was revealed inside.
At first glance, it was almost impossible to tell if what was shown on the water was real or if reality lay beneath it!
“That’s also me…”
Xu Qing mumbled. This was a very profound feeling but it was extremely real.
Amidst this haziness, Xu Qing also sensed that he had lost all his mobility. It was as though he had frozen up and his soul was being sucked away by the water surface.
However… there was no purple crystal in the reflection in the water!
This discovery caused Xu Qing’s heart to tremble. After that, he heard that ancient and domineering voice again.
“This divine ability of mine is… Fishing the Moon From the Well!”
As these words were spoken, an indistinct hand seemed to materialize from the void. It gently scooped downward toward the water’s surface, causing ripples to form. Within these ripples, the reflection of Xu Qing’s figure appeared. Astonishingly, with a light scoop from the hand, Xu Qing’s image was lifted out of thin air.
“I found the moon in the well to be exquisite and wished to possess it for myself. Now, I have it.”
Within the illusory hand emerged Xu Qing’s image. With a firm grasp, the hand clenched tightly around Xu Qing’s figure.
“He is you!”
11
So, have you learned?”
As the voice echoed, a blurry figure slowly formed along the large hand and finally revealed itself in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.
It was a middle-aged man in gray armor with a pale face and a calm gaze!
He was a middle-aged man wearing gray armor, his face pale and his eyes calm as water. The armor on his body appeared ferocious, as if it were grown onto his flesh, blurring the line between armor and flesh.
This gave the man an aura of malevolence that was oddly mixed with dominance, creating a contradictory yet harmonious presence.
At that moment, what he was looking at was none other than Xu Qing in his palm.
Xu Qing couldn’t move. Regardless of whether it was his body or spells, even his god forms seemed to have been stripped away at this moment. However, his thoughts and comprehension weren’t affected.
H
So the name of this divine power is Fishing the Moon From the Well!”
“What a great divine power. There was originally no moon in the well. Even if it appeared, it would only be a reflection of the moon in the sky. However, in this person’s hands, it became such an earth-shattering technique!”
“The process he demonstrated seems to utilize the gaps between reality and illusion, incorporating a certain degree of temporal power, along with the art of mirror image. This was complemented by the concepts of creation from nothingness and materialization of the intangible.”
“This thought requires absolute confidence, absolute domineering intent, and absolute will.”
Xu Qing came to a realization. The figure in the dandelion seed also became clearer and clearer until it completely formed and stood on one side with the other two.
To a certain extent, it could be said that Xu Qing had already comprehended Fishing the Moon From the Well.
However, at the next instant, Xu Qing’s heart stirred.
“That’s not right!”
11
It’s impossible for the inheritance of the Immortal Source to be so simple. All of this should only be on the surface. My thoughts are a little one-sided. The heir and Third Grandma also told me that what limits a person’s footsteps is imagination.”
“Therefore, Fishing the Moon From the Well might not be what 1 think it is… It should be more profound with much greater use. It’s just that I can’t see it clearer due to my cognition and ability.”
Xu Qing pondered. As he pondered, the figure in the dandelion seed suddenly collapsed and began to disappear. This scene caused the little butterfly, who had been paying attention, to be stunned again.
It originally thought that Xu Qing had succeeded and its heart was already churning. However, now it saw Xu Qing’s figure had collapsed…
“Master, this… what’s going on?”
The little butterfly was at a loss.
The Summer Immortal Palace Master sighed again, feeling even more regretful.
“It’s a pity that the rule of the Summer Immortal Palace states that it can only be passed down to one person in each generation.”
The little butterfly was shocked.
The Summer Immortal Palace Master continued.
“He’s dissatisfied with the inherited divine power and is probing its essence.”
“Essence?” The little butterfly’s eyes widened.
The Summer Immortal Palace Master wasn’t wrong. At that moment, Xu Qing was indeed thinking about the essence of this technique.
He recalled the reaction of the Purple Moon power in his body when he sensed the seed. Coupled with the name of this divine art, a bold thought instantly burst forth in his mind.
“What was fished out of the well wasn’t just the soul of one person or a group of people.”
“What surfaces in the well aren’t just divine powers, spells, magic artifacts, and the like.”
“These are too simple.”
H
Since there’s a moon in the well, why should it be limited to the moon in the sky?”
“It doesn’t necessarily have to be used on enemies. 1 can completely… use this technique to retrieve the moon in my mind!”
Xu Qing’s mind rumbled. He felt that his thoughts were correct.
“I understand now. This is also why this gray-armored cultivator mentioned finding the moon beautiful and wanting to possess it. He was reminding me!
He even asked me if 1 had learned. This is also a reminder!”
“In fact, when he said, ‘he was me,’ these words were almost a clear indication to me.”
“Is this person asking me if I’ve really learned the essence of all this?!”
Xu Qing’s thoughts instantly became clear and smooth. With a thought, his figure in the palm erupted with an intense piercing purple light.
This light spread in all directions and his figure disappeared, transforming into a… vast Purple Moon!
This star emitted a monstrous might from the palm. In an instant, the palm emitted a rumbling sound and directly collapsed. Even the gray-armored figure disintegrated under the purple light and turned into ashes.
Only a Purple Moon rose from the surface of the well.
This moon wasn’t an illusion but a real existence!
It wasn’t the one that Li Zihua had taken away in the depths of the starry sky. Instead, it was the second Purple Moon Star in the Wanggu Continent formed by Xu Qing!
It came from the same source as Li Zihua but it belonged exclusively to Xu Qing!
Xu Qing’s figure appeared on the Purple Moon. He cupped his hands and bowed to the disappearing gray-armored cultivator with gratitude.
Outside, the dandelion seed was already close to the main body. The moment it was about to fuse, the two figures inside shattered and completely disappeared. Only a figure stood there!
It was Xu Qing!
