While Xu Qing's thoughts were going wild, at another lake within this void, the captain stood dressed in black robes, hands behind his back, gazing upward.
The expression on his face carried a touch of nostalgia, as if he were savoring, recalling, with a hint of the vicissitudes of life, evoked by his emotions.
After a long time, a sigh full of complex emotions escaped from his mouth, echoing in all directions and creating layers of lingering sound, giving people a sense of overflowing emotion.
"The sky and earth, the plants, everything here is so familiar to me…"
The captain mumbled.
However, before he could finish speaking, a cold voice rang out indifferently from the mirror lake under his feet.
"Are you blind? There is no sky and earth here, nor are there plants. Since the moment this place was created by the ruler, it has been nothingness from beginning to end."
The captain blinked, maintaining a calm expression, showing no embarrassment after being exposed. On the contrary, he felt proud in his heart, thinking, 'You little spirit, what do you understand? I'm just reciting an incantation.'
At this moment, after the incantation was completed, he lifted his head and spoke loudly.
"I've already pondered of my great aspiration for the trial!"
The surface of the water under his feet fluctuated. The white-robed old man stared at him and coldly spoke.
"Speak your aspirations."
"My great aspiration is to save all living beings in the Moon Worship Region from the sea of bitterness and lead them to resist the Red Moon. In the end, I will be like the ruler back then, killing the Crimson Goddess and devouring her. The world will know and split the world apart!"
The captain spoke proudly.
The expression of the white-robed old man didn't change at all, as though he was indifferent to this grand aspiration. However, waves of cold air spread out from under his feet. After it spread to the entire lake, it seeped out from under the lake where the captain was, transforming into a cold voice.
"How will you accomplish it?"
"That's simple. I'll become the master of the Moon Rebel Hall first. This is an important step in my series of plans."
"In addition, I have a second aspiration. I want to change the name of this Moon Worship Region to… the Heavenly Bull Region!"
The captain's eyes revealed determination and his voice was impassioned.
The white-robed old man didn't say anything. The cold air became even denser and slowly enveloped the captain from all directions.
Seeing this, the captain was delighted. It was as though he felt that this wasn't exaggerated enough and wasn't violent enough. Moreover, the cold air in the surroundings spread too slowly, so he spoke again.
"I'm not done yet. There's a third great aspiration. In the end, I'll destroy the fragmented-face in the sky and become the new ancient sovereign of this Wanggu Continent, unifying it!"
"At that time, I'll punch the holy lands and step on the glorious sky. All races will bow to me and the heavens will lower for me."
At this point, the captain was so excited that he started laughing loudly.
As he laughed, the cold air in the surroundings instantly soared and headed straight for him. In the blink of an eye, it drowned him and finally… he turned into an ice sculpture.
The captain in the ice sculpture still maintained his laughing posture and looked very arrogant.
The ice sculpture slowly sank and disappeared from the lake, landing in the depths of this void…
Clearly, his great aspirations had been judged to be fake by the artifact spirit of the Moon Rebel Hall, so he was sealed.
On the other side, Xu Qing was in high spirits.
After some thought, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his idea. There was only one thing he wasn't sure about. He wasn't sure if the artifact spirit would notice his actions.
After all, this could be considered as using the assessment to achieve his private wish.
Hence, in order to prevent any accidents, Xu Qing felt that he should refine the curse pill first to be safe and use it as a cover.
In that case, even if he was really discovered, he would have an excuse.
At the thought of this, Xu Qing immediately waved his hand. A large number of medicinal herbs flew over and continued to separate in his hand.
Some were extracting liquids, some were dividing veins, some were catalyzing, and some were grafting together, each with its own uniqueness, coordinating each other.
As for the basic medicinal pills, they were the curse subduing pills Xu Qing had refined outside.
These medicinal pills could reduce the curse by about 10%. Xu Qing had refined quite a lot when he was free.
At this moment, under his re-refinement, although the added parts made the pills seem both real and illusory, on the surface of this lake mirror, the ingredients within these pills blended perfectly together.
Most importantly, every medicinal herb here was of the ideal quality, making it extremely satisfying for Xu Qing to refine them.
He could just ask for whatever he needed.
As long as he shouted, the plant would appear immediately.
If the age wasn't good, he could increase the age. If the medicinal effects weren't satisfactory, he could change to other better medicinal herbs.
All his theoretical knowledge over the years had erupted in this short span of time. The medicinal herbs he had never seen in his life could be manifested casually here.
After continuous verification, Xu Qing's herb technique also advanced by leaps and bounds.
With a wave of his hand, countless medicinal herbs circled in front of him and their forms kept changing.
Under the catalysis of these herbs, the medicinal pill's ability to reduce the curse gradually increased. It was almost 20%.
All of this caused Xu Qing's spirits to be lifted.
He comprehended that the direction he had studied previously was correct.
To reduce the curse through plants and vegetation, the main principle was actually to fight poison with poison.
On one hand, it was because the medicinal pill itself contained Xu Qing's Purple Moon power. This was the foundation, like the source.
On the other hand, the manifested plants and vegetation were formed from the invasion of the god's fragmented-face. Hence, they possessed special medicinal effects.
Most of these medicinal effects contained a certain degree of anomalous substances.
