Alien Dust

Chapter 423: Just a Fantasy Before Death

"Please spare my life, sir, please spare my life!!"

"We are just on duty here. We don't know your identity and have no intention of offending you!"

This group of blue-robed executioners bullied the weak and feared the strong. Seeing that their lives were in danger, they no longer dared to behave like their previous bureaucrats.

Wu Hen did not stop until he heard that their joints were broken by him, and then he let them go.

All the blue-robed executioners collapsed on the ground, no different from human maggots. They wanted to wail but dared not make any sound for fear of angering this venerable who came from nowhere.

"It's right below, just go down the stairs." Fang Li didn't care about anything else now. Seeing that Wu Hen had dealt with all the people who were in the way, she immediately ran in front to lead Wu Hen.

The dungeon was built underground. When Wu Hen stepped into the dungeon, he immediately smelled the odor of rotting human flesh. When he approached the dark and rotten ice pool, he saw a woman with disheveled hair. She looked decades older, and the skin on her face had been rotten by the smell here. She looked even more miserable than the beggars living under the bridge.

Fortunately, Qingxi also cultivated the Holy Golden Blood and formed the Holy Soul of Heavenly Bones. If it were an ordinary day, he would have been soaked into a pool of pus and blood.

"Master!" Fang Li was so frightened when she saw Qingxi become like this that her face turned pale and she couldn't stop her tears from flowing out.

"It's Fangli, right..." Qingxi heard the voice and spoke slowly.

"Junior master is here too. He's here to rescue you. Master, what happened to your eyes... Can't you see us?" Fang Li came closer and discovered that Qingxi's eyes were gone. There were only two extremely ugly blood scars left in her eye sockets.

"Junior Brother Cai Ting?" Qingxi asked in surprise. Her words were filled with complex emotions. She was happy to hear news about Wu Hen again, but also felt helpless.

The Battle Song Alliance is a huge scam set up by the hypocritical Leng Shu. He uses the kindness in everyone's heart as a stepping stone for him to ascend to the heavenly steps. Those who succeeded in forging their souls earlier are still spreading Leng Shu's merits after leaving Battle Song Mountain, so that more people will support and follow Leng Shu.

But after Qingxi learned that more than 300 members of the Battle Song Alliance did not come out alive and Wu Hen was also trapped inside, Qingxi realized that Leng Shu and Yin Zhiyu must have done something, and the whole thing was not as simple as it seemed.

Afterwards, Qingxi began to investigate secretly, and finally learned through his connections that Leng Shu actually mastered a kind of Tianxuan Sacred Art, which, like the Devil God, required a large number of sacrifices...

Qingxi found the person who had been persecuted by Leng Shu but survived, and planned to tell Mingzun and Qilinnu about it. However, she never expected that the other party was faster and had all-powerful means. Not only did he kill the person who could serve as a witness, he also tracked down her whereabouts and threw her into this prison.

"It was Ling Wan who betrayed you, otherwise you would have been able to expose Leng Shu's evil deeds!" Fang Li said.

"It really is her."

"She gained the qualification to enter the Battle Song Mountain in exchange for this, but she happened to meet Junior Master Uncle walking out of the Battle Song Mountain. Junior Master Uncle gave her a lesson, but she had already fallen into Leng Shu's bed. Let's escape from Tongtian City under the cover of night. This Tongtian City looks prosperous and dazzling, but it is actually rotten and smelly. The Holy Land in the Clouds is like a god in heaven, but it is actually cold-blooded!" Fang Li has seen through the filthiness of this realm of cultivation.

"Leng Shu has become the Human Emperor, and he has connections everywhere. If you are still healthy, you'd better escape quickly. My body has already rotted into dead wood and leaves. You can either be reborn from death and rebuild your golden body, or you will be ruined and sink into the cold water." Qingxi said.

"Master, it's already this time, aren't you thinking about how to survive?" Fang Li said.

"There is no shortcut to cultivation. I have never realized this over the years. I always felt that I was at the same level as the Qilin Girl, and that I was just lacking an opportunity. But after successfully forging my soul, I saw the gap between myself and the strong... What happened to Leng Shu was a calamity I had to overcome after trying to take shortcuts." Qingxi said.

During the years of torture in the water dungeon, Qingxi actually figured out a lot of things.

She regarded this punishment as a kind of practice to fall into hell, where she had to either create her true body or rot away!

Wu Hen looked at Qingxi, who was in the water prison but had a very firm mind, and could not help but admire her courage to practice against the will of heaven. It turned out that when one reaches a certain level of practice, the body is really just a body. The body will metabolize, the body will age, and the body will become a skeleton, but the golden soul and sacred heart will not be eroded or erased.

At this moment, Wu Hen saw the shadow of Cai Lan in Qingxi. Although the former's flesh and skin had rotted away like a corpse soaked in water, and the other had fluttering clothes and a fairy-like appearance, they both exuded the same aura.

"Senior Sister..." Wu Hen said.

"Junior Brother Cai Ting, you don't have to worry about me or feel sorry for me. Everything is my own choice and everything is the cause and effect that I should bear. Even if I didn't go with you on this trip and Leng Shu became the Human Empress, I would not be able to escape a similar disaster." Qingxi said.

“Sister, I understand your state of mind at this moment, but there is one thing you need to know. On the first day I met the Qilin girl, she told me a truth that was enough to cause the entire Saint Sect system to collapse… All of us practice Void Yuan. Your Holy Breath is a counterfeit of the real holy power, a poor imitation of the powerful magical powers of the ancient saints.” Wu Hen slowly told the truth.

Cai Lan's few words brought great shock to Wu Hen's heart.

Similarly, after Qingxi learned the truth, her body began to tremble violently.

What I have spent my whole life cultivating is actually fake? ? ?
They are all poor imitators...

"So our initial holy fetus, condensed holy infant, gathered holy child, and the holy essence that I successfully forged and broke through to are all false, just ordinary people's poor imitation of the Holy Spirit????" Qingxi's tone was full of disbelief, but at the same time, when she was talking about these, she seemed to have found some truth. "The spiritual key to cultivation has always been in our own hearts." Wu Hen said.

"I understand, I understand, I understand!" Qingxi said it three times in a row, and each time it seemed as if he had comprehended a different truth.

At this moment, she was immersed in the icy water, her body almost disappeared. She survived by relying on the soul-casting totem. She tried countless times to be reborn from death and to sculpt a holy golden body, but she found the reason why she could not succeed. She was still obsessed with the so-called holy cultivation, obsessed with her bloodline, obsessed with the ethereal and desirable realm of heaven and man. But like a painter, she was always a clumsy imitator. How could she become a true master? How could she inject her own emotions and soul into her paintings?
Rebuild your body with your own soul, instead of relying on totems or the so-called holy bloodline to transform. Only when the golden body and the holy soul are in perfect harmony can you forge the true essence!

Qingxi suddenly understood why the holy breath displayed by Wu Hen was stronger than that of everyone else. He could defeat all the heroes by relying on his cultivation as a Holy Infant. It turned out that he had already cultivated the true essence.

Similarly, he only saw Cai Lan obtain the Qilin Emperor and forged the Supreme Holy Soul, but he didn't know that this was just her most insignificant practice. She saw through it earlier than others, understood it earlier than others, and comprehended it earlier than others. She did not imitate the ancient saints, nor was she obsessed with totems to help her soul. Her brilliance was not reflected by other divine stars in the sky, but she herself was radiating the holy light of the sky.

"So there is no need for you to suffer this physical pain anymore. I will get you out first." Wu Hen said.

"Well, thank you, junior brother!" Qingxi nodded.

Wu Hen took off his robe, carried Qingxi out of the water prison, and wrapped her in this wide and thick robe.

If she can comprehend this level, with the powerful vitality of a saint cultivator, Qingxi should be able to recover slowly, but her eyes cannot be restored, and she will no longer be able to see the light in the future.

Wu Hen found a piece of silk, tore it into strips, and then tied them around Qingxi's eyes.

……

As he walked out of the water dungeon holding Qingxi, a cold wind blew from the ground, carrying a murderous aura.

Qingxi couldn't see anything, she just quietly understood what Wu Hen had just said.

Fangli, who was standing by, was so frightened that she was paralyzed and couldn't even stand up.

At some point, human walls had been built up on the ground, and there was not a single gap to be seen. The criminal officers, military officers, earth officials, and heavenly officials, all dressed in red and gold, formed a mighty army. The holy aura swaying on their bodies formed a golden ocean, like a raging wave beating against the cliff!

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." A celestial official wearing a dragon robe smiled and held a golden sword in his hand.

"As the dignified Human Emperor, he only mobilized such a small number of people. It's not grand enough." Wu Hen was not afraid at all. Instead, he released his perception, looking for Leng Shu who was watching this game of divine power from a high place.

"The Human Emperor has ordered that one of you can live tonight, but looking at the current situation, you can just take this woman back to the dungeon. After tonight, she will die..." said the dragon-robed celestial official.

"Actually, she and I are just friends who have known each other for a short time. We are not a couple with a love stronger than gold as you think. There is no need to torture us in such a vulgar way." Wu Hen said.

"Hahaha, you can really see the situation clearly. Indeed, instead of pointing the sharp blade at all the officials in our Tongtian City, it is easier to stab it at a half-dead woman!" The dragon-robed Tianguan laughed. Instead, he felt that the boy in front of him was interesting. He was not pretentious at all at the critical moment. He was a man who could accomplish great things.

In the distance, on the imperial stage, Leng Shu, who was watching the late-night sad drama through the mirror axis, immediately frowned.

The more decisive this guy was, the more unhappy Leng Shu became.

In fact, after fighting with Wu Hen, Leng Shu realized that this guy was a rare talent and needed to be treated with caution. As for Qingxi, she was just a seasoning and not as important as he had imagined.

If he really killed Qingxi and then ran away, Leng Shu would definitely not give up, and he had to do it himself.

However, soon, Leng Shu heard a few extremely harsh words, which came from the other party's mouth.

"Your Human Emperor Leng Shu must have made a lot of wishes on the imperial stage."

"Death row prisoners are given a good meal before being executed."

"Leng Shu is full, and his last wish may have been fulfilled. I should send him off!!"

"By the way, I'd like to share a very popular saying from my hometown with you, Emperor Lengshu..."

"There is no such thing as soaring to the sky and becoming a saint from now on. It is just a dying fantasy of an unknown person!!"

Wu Hen spoke these words slowly.
