393: Sea of ​​Consciousness Repair

The sealed Tianluo Ruins ancient battlefield, after Xu Qing closed it off, seemed to have time itself stagnating there.

Xu Qing took one last look, then left the ancient battlefield, but he didn't go far. Instead, he found a secluded Cultivation spot in the inner area.

This place was surrounded by mountains, filled with rich Chaos Origin Qi, and isolated from the outside world, as if it were a small world of its own.

"There's no news from Xu Duoduo yet, and my Sea of Consciousness was damaged in the battle against Death Spirit Dao Ancestor's Sea of Consciousness. It's a good opportunity to enter seclusion and recover."

Xu Qing murmured softly, his gaze resolute.

The Sea of Consciousness is an incredibly important place for any living being.

Damage to the Sea of Consciousness not only affects Cultivation speed but also weakens the power of the Dao Soul. At Xu Qing's Realm, whether Cultivating Divine Abilities or comprehending the Great Dao, the powerful support of the Dao Soul is indispensable.

Fortunately, the one thing Xu Qing didn't lack was treasures.

With a thought, he entered the Qiankun Continent, then spent six trillion family points to exchange for an Immortal Grade Dao medicine—the Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit.

The Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit was crystal clear throughout, its skin covered with star-like patterns, as if containing endless power of the starry sky.

Inside the fruit, Soul power subtly flowed, like a beating heart, emitting a faint, ethereal glow.

"As expected of a Dao medicine worth six trillion family points, it's truly extraordinary."

Xu Qing praised in a low voice, then sat cross-legged and consumed the Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit.

The fruit melted upon entry, transforming into a warm power that flowed down his throat and into his body. Xu Qing closed his eyes slightly, formed hand seals, and circulated his self-created Qiankun Dao Law.

In an instant, countless Dao runes appeared around him, each one shimmering with brilliant light, as if resonating with Heaven and Earth.

"Buzz—"

The medicinal power of the Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit erupted within Xu Qing's body, transforming into countless streams of Soul power that surged into his Sea of Consciousness. Inside his Sea of Consciousness, the originally shattered space began to slowly mend, and the power of his Dao Soul gradually recovered.

Within the Sea of Consciousness.

Xu Qing's Dao Soul sat cross-legged in the center of his Sea of Consciousness, surrounded by thousands of Great Dao Dragons, each radiating an Immortal Grade aura.

As the medicinal power of the Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit surged in, the power of the Dao Soul grew stronger, and the space of the Sea of Consciousness gradually stabilized.

"Refine!"

The Dao Soul let out a low roar, suddenly clasped his hands together, and the runes around him burst forth with dazzling light. Under his guidance, the medicinal power of the Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit transformed into countless immense streams of Soul power, merging into the Dao Soul.

Time flowed by, and a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

A thousand years might be a long time for a Mortal, but for a powerful being like Xu Qing, it was merely a flick of a finger.

During these thousand years, Xu Qing's Sea of Consciousness was completely restored, becoming even stronger than before.

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the Dao Soul stood as tall as a pillar supporting the sky, surrounded by thousands of Great Dao Dragons, each radiating an Immortal Grade aura. In the Dao Soul's eyes, a majestic and profound light flickered, as if it could pierce through all illusions.

"Boom—"

Outside, Xu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant light flashing within them.

His Sea of Consciousness was completely restored, and even stronger than before. At this moment, even if he only used his Dao Soul, he could completely suppress an Immortal Giant.

"This Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit is indeed extraordinary," Xu Qing murmured softly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Not only that, but his Soul Great Dao had also made a Breakthrough.

However, this was normal. The Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit was a High Grade Immortal Dao Fruit, a product born from the Soul fragments of an Immortal being after their demise, nurtured by the creation of Heaven and Earth. It contained the power of an Immortal Grade Soul Great Dao.

Therefore, during the process of refining the Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit, Xu Qing's Soul Great Dao received a tremendous boost, subtly showing signs of breaking through to Perfection.

Of course, this was just an illusion. Although there was only a small Realm difference between Major Achievement Immortal Dao and Perfection Immortal Dao, this single step was like a chasm and a heavenly moat; it couldn't be broken through with just one Heavenly Star Soul Infant Fruit.

"My Sea of Consciousness is restored, and my Soul Great Dao has also made a Breakthrough. This seclusion has brought no small harvest."

Xu Qing smiled slightly, then stood up.

He did not continue his seclusion. Although he had enough resources to continue for a long time, even to break through to Immortal Giant, or even Immortal Overlord, he had more important matters to attend to.

And once he entered seclusion, he wouldn't emerge until he had fully digested everything. So, it was better to deal with the matters at hand first.

His figure appeared outside. A thousand years on Qiankun Continent meant only four months had passed in the outside world.

In these four months, there wasn't much change outside the Tianluo Ruins. Only a few more factions had gathered, with various powerful beings rushing to the scene, awaiting the opening of the Sea Eye passage.

He had already conquered one of the five forbidden zones of the Eternal Continent. Next, he was going to visit the fourth forbidden zone.

Several months had passed, and Xiao Duozi had already sent back some news, including an introduction to the Eastern Wasteland Realm. The System had taken ten billion family points from him back then, and the information it provided was not comprehensive, which made him despise the 'dog System' intensely.

In these days, Xiao Duozi had collected a lot of news about the Extinction Era, but not much of it was useful. Most of those who entered the Eastern Wasteland Realm were races whose strength was neither high nor low, in an awkward position, and who did not want to participate in disputes.

These races played little role in the Extinction Era, and it was almost impossible to find out the whereabouts of the Nine Heavens from them.

However, there was some valuable information among them.

For example, the last words left by the Snow Clan Old Ancestor after his demise: "Mei Valley, Western Heaven falls!"

Mei Valley is a place name. Legend has it that the sun sets in the valley, and the world becomes dark, hence it is called Mei Valley.

It is said that the sun departs from "Yang Valley" in the east in the morning and sets in "Mei Valley" in the evening, and Mei Valley is precisely in the west.

Thus, the latter part of the sentence is easy to understand: Haotian, one of the Nine Heavens, resided in the west of the Ancient Heavenly Court, and was therefore also known as the Ancestor of the Western Heaven.

The meaning of this sentence is that the Xue Family Old Ancestor saw Haotian fall towards the Mei Valley after that great battle.

He had investigated the place called Mei Valley through the System. Before the Ancient Land of Dao, it was an island located west of Xiyan Divine Continent in the Eternal Continent, deep within the Asura Sea. It was said that it and Yang Valley, one in the east and one in the west, echoed each other, and both contained an Innate Spiritual Root, the Fusang Divine Tree, which was the habitat of the Divine Beast Golden Crow.

During the Darkness Upheaval, Mei Valley and Yang Valley disappeared simultaneously. After that, the will of the heavenly dao created the Ancient Land of Dao, and the two valleys never reappeared.

Furthermore, there was no news of these two valleys in the Ancient Land of Dao, but the System mentioned a place—Yu Valley.

And Mei Valley had another name, which was Yu Valley!

Coupled with Xu Qing's inquiry to the System for information about Yu Valley, he had no authority, so he guessed that this place very likely involved the Nine Heavens, or at the very least, Dao Ancestor existences.

And Yu Valley, like Tianpin, was a forbidden zone in the Ancient Land of Dao, and it was extremely mysterious. There were once Immortal Monarchs who entered it, but never came out again.

He did not possess the Xuan Tian and Hao Tian keys, so he noted this place down, intending to visit it once his Cultivation improved.
