Chapter 1229: The Illusion Contained Reality
There was no door to life. There was no path to death. There was no way to depart. There was no means to return.
Thus was the pain of this True God. Hē was frozen in an ice coffin, sealed in time by the space-time hourglass, hīs karma ensnared by the heaven beyond heaven. Stuck halfway between returning and departing, hē was like a special spirit stone that emanated ringsource. All hē could do was descend into the burning pain, hīs soul torn apart as hīs godhood and ringsource was slowly sucked away in what amounted to pure torment.
Out in the starry sky, Xu Qing looked coldly at the ice coffin. His fury was finally subsiding. The end this True God had experienced was the best kind of torment to inflict on hīm. Since hē enjoyed pain, hē would personally feel a lot of it.
It’s too bad I don’t have Yu Liuchen’s godly authority of telling stories....
If he had that godly authority, then he could draw out time even further. He could tell a story of pain upon pain for this True God, and ensure that his time spent sealed in ice was one of even greater mental torment. At the same time, he would be able to extract even stronger ringsource.
There’s no rush.
Xu Qing retracted his vision, then went over and sat down cross-legged on the ice coffin. Closing his eyes, he began doing some breathing exercises. All of his pores opened, and ringsource from the coffin poured into him.
The ringsource was strong and pure, and as he did breathing exercises, it flowed into him. Once inside, it reached his immortal embryo and provided profound nourishment. The immortal embryo began to emit a soft glow that illuminated the surrounding darkness, and caused the innumerable universes, galaxies, and planets in the heaven beyond heaven to be a bit brighter. They were still recovering.
As light pulsed off Xu Qing’s immortal embryo, the immortal palace that served as his immortal foundation reacted similarly.
In that manner, time passed. A month went by.
Xu Qing opened his eyes. A mysterious light shone therein as he looked down at the coffin floating in the starry sky. The coffin had originally emitted strong ringsource. But it had diminished quite a bit, and had gone from a raging river to a trickling stream.
That was no surprise. The special spirit stone made of a god would last for a long time and would provide a lot of ringsource. But it wasn’t going to all come out at once. Absorbing it slowly but surely would be the most beneficial thing for Xu Qing.
