Chapter 1110: The Boundless Path of Immortality
The wind blew across the majestic river, causing waves to roll across the god blood. The black boat floated across it. The boat wasn’t moving very fast, yet neither the wind nor the waves did anything to impede its progress. When the boat came, the waves calmed.
The blood rain that fell on the river ceased. It seemed as if this ferry boat was a paramount treasure on this river, and the ferry pilot who operated it apparently had limitless control over the river itself.
And yet, compared to the massive world it was in, this river... was nothing more than a prison for the ferry pilot. After all, there were many ferry pilots, and they came and went depending on when they were convicted and when their sentences ended. It made sense considering that all of them had been convicted of major crimes in the Immortal Capital, and had been sent to this place as a punishment.
That said, taking into consideration the Fifth Star Ring as a whole, there were few people who actually thought of them as being prisoners. No clan would dare to do so, nor would any sect.... Gradually, the ferry boats with their unique fare and offer of safety had become a lifeline to cultivators, and precious protection in key moments.
Xu Qing was the perfect example.
He sat at the stern of the boat, and within his mouth was the flower petal that Grandma Fifth had given him in the Moonrite Region just before he left Revered Ancient. That flower petal could restore him to perfect health, regardless of any injuries he had suffered. He could only use it once, as it was made from the precious life force power of Grandma Fifth herself. It was truly a blessing from her.[1]
Xu Qing didn’t want to use it unless it was completely and utterly necessary.
The Fifth Star Ring is full of danger everywhere.... Given the state of my cultivation base and battle prowess, I need to be very, very careful.
He sat quietly in meditation, relying on the violet crystal to heal himself and slowly grow the skin back over his currently blood-slick flesh. The skin was not really a big deal considering his injuries as a whole. In fact, it only took about a day before he went from looking completely terrifying back to how he had looked before. At the very least, he didn’t look so bedraggled.
Unfortunately, burning so much of his blood had weakened him severely. The final blow he had sustained from that red-haired young man had inflicted a dao injury, and that wasn’t something that would heal in a short time.
It’ll probably take about a month....
