Chapter 1211: The Way of the Ox
Heatwaves buffeted Xu Qing’s face. Burning fire was all that could be seen in all directions. Heaven and earth was bright red and dazzling! Everything was made of fire, with the occasional burst of liquid fire here and there. The liquid fire would fly into the air and then explode, leaving behind streams of mysterious magical symbols. From a distance, it looked like an eternal rain of magical symbols.
When the symbols landed, they became crimson kelp plants that tried to grow, but unfortunately... couldn’t survive in the heat. They would eventually crumble into ashes that then became part of the liquid fire. There were only a very small amount that, by random circumstances, would manage to take root and grow.
It was a difficult process, and even while growing, they would occasionally burst into flames. Xu Qing only spotted a few here and there that managed to survive long-term. Most were severely withered, and looked like they might be incinerated at any moment.
This is only one small area of this sun. But even if you estimate mathematically, you can conclude that... not much kelp can survive here.
As he acclimated to the heat, he looked off into the distance and said, “Where are the gods locked up?”
He was asking the huge kelp plant that existed outside. A moment later, a vague response came from the will of the kelp.
“In the middle... immortal oath, so I can’t go in very deep, the kelp here... my will can help....”
The voice of the will came and went. It was clear that even the mighty kelp plant was afraid of this sun. Perhaps it was because of the immortal oath, or maybe it was something else.
Checks and balances of some sort? Or is it more targeted?
Thinking back to what he had experienced here so far, Xu Qing decided the first possibility wasn’t likely. So he would need to be more careful in case it was the second possibility.
With that, he started moving. He wanted to get a more complete picture of this sun, as well as whatever god was sealed in the middle of it. Only then would he start thinking about taking the ringsource.
In that manner, time passed.
