Chapter 300: The Consecration Plan

Luo Xiaoxiao’s face turned pale with fright.

...

Inside the divine hall, Ming Luo received the synchronized coordinates sent by her disciple, and her expression became even more shocked.

"Senior... how does he know about what’s happening here?"

"No, there’s no time to think about that now."

Ming Luo immediately transmitted a message to Qian Yun.

"Minister, these are the direction and coordinates of the divine hall within the Light Prison!"

"Huh?!"

"There really are coordinates?"

Qian Yun looked stunned.

"I only mentioned it casually..."

Then she quickly looked toward Ming Luo.

"You... where did you obtain these coordinates from?"

Ming Luo gritted her teeth before replying,

"Some of my disciples mysteriously disappeared within Qidala’s territory. Our sect mobilized a considerable amount of power to investigate the matter."

"So that’s how it is."

Qian Yun didn’t have time to think too deeply about it, but she still sighed inwardly.

"The Light Prison isn’t like ordinary places. Knowing only the direction is useful. Coordinates alone usually don’t mean much."

"Still, it’s better than nothing."

"I’ll remember this favor. If we survive this ordeal, there will definitely be a generous reward for you."

After hearing that, Ming Luo’s eyebrow twitched slightly.

"Um... the coordinates I received are synchronized in real time and can be directly traced..."

Poof!

Real-time synchronized coordinates?

What kind of concept was that?!

Qian Yun froze in shock.

"Your disciple... is actually near this divine hall?!"

Other than that, there was no possible way to obtain real-time synchronized coordinates from within the Light Prison.

Ming Luo could only grit her teeth and acknowledge it.

She had no choice.

Right now, survival was the only thing that mattered.

Everything else could be ignored.

"Good!"

Qian Yun forcefully suppressed the excitement in her heart.

"With synchronized coordinates, Master should be able to arrive within a single day. Just one day!"

"As long as we can hold out for one day, that beast Qidala is dead for sure!"

...

Inside the battleship, Lilia paced back and forth anxiously before finally lowering her voice and asking,

"Rake, should we take this chance to rescue the captain and immediately escape afterward?"

Qin Mu glanced at her sideways.

"What are you thinking?"

"Even if a god descended right now, they still might not win."

"Are you a god?"

"Or am I?"

"I..."

Lilia’s eyes instantly turned lifeless.

"Sorry... I shouldn’t have asked."

"I said I wouldn’t run away again, Rake. You shouldn’t die here. Take the battleship and leave. I’ll buy you some time."

Heh.

Qin Mu was genuinely amused by the little loli’s words.

"You’ll buy time?"

"With what?"

"Do you think Qidala hasn’t made a move yet because he can’t find our location, or because it’s inconvenient for him to crush us right now?"

Lilia looked up at him in surprise.

"Neither," Qin Mu replied calmly. "He’s fishing."

"You understand now, right?"

"He wants to lure out the experts behind your Aragi Group. He’s waiting for them to arrive so he can wipe them all out in one sweep."

Other than that, there was absolutely no reason for Bei Qi to let them continue watching the situation unfold here.

To Bei Qi, ordinary Star Realm Experts weren’t enough.

He had even planned to sacrifice gods as well!

Thinking about it carefully, Qin Mu had already been prepared to self-destruct and retreat.

But suddenly, a strange thought appeared in his mind.

"No, no, no...!"

"Lilia may not be a god, but as for me... can I really say that I’m not one?"

The more Qin Mu thought about it, the stranger it felt.

"I was thinking about this the wrong way earlier."

"Even though I never officially took a master, I subconsciously still treated Ten Thousand Moons as a backup plan, while Extreme Phoenix and the others were another fallback."

"I knew this clone of mine didn’t possess their tokens and couldn’t summon them, so I instinctively assumed I was completely outmatched."

No.

Qin Mu was definitely not fighting alone anymore.

"The main body isn’t needed. Thunder Dragon Clone!"

"Immediately purchase every usable fire-attribute resource available, regardless of the cost."

Although Ao Mengmeng couldn’t understand Qin Mu’s train of thought, seeing the Thunder Dragon Clone suddenly take action left her completely bewildered.

"What are you trying to do? Are you seriously not going to worry about the Light Prison anymore?"

"Hmm, not worrying about it is actually correct. The synchronized coordinates are already enough. The safest option now is to self-destruct and leave."

Hmph.

The corners of Qin Mu’s lips curved upward.

"Self-destruct?"

"Impossible."

"With a heavy treasure right in front of me, no matter what happens, I have to try!"

Try?

Pfft!

Ao Mengmeng was so frightened she nearly foamed at the mouth.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! My dear master, can you stop going crazy?!"

"Greed is the devil!"

"No matter how incredible a heavy treasure is, you absolutely must not become greedy. One moment of poor judgment can lead to complete destruction. How many Cultivators, geniuses, and experts have fallen into the endless river of the Universe because of greed?"

"No! You can’t do this! It absolutely won’t work!"

Ha.

Qin Mu completely ignored Ao Mengmeng’s frantic objections. His eyes were incomparably firm.

"You don’t understand."

"This time..."

"I’m going to become a god."

Poof!!

"Deification!?"

Ao Mengmeng let out a sharp shriek. "How are you going to deify? Right here on the spot? And you’re planning to deify yourself!?"

"You nearly scared this Dragon to death!!!"

"The situation is already tense enough right now, so can you please stop joking around!?"

"Master, calm down, please calm down first!!!"

"Whether or not we can obtain the heavy treasure can be discussed later. But deification is something that absolutely requires long-term preparation."

"You are an all-element Cultivator, so opening a Domain isn’t a problem. But creating a Small World will definitely consume terrifying amounts of energy. As for deification, even if you have already completed Body Integration with flame, you still need thorough preparation..."

Deification.

It was undoubtedly the most dangerous hurdle on the path of cultivation.

This was true for ordinary Cultivators, and equally true for geniuses.

As for Qin Mu...

He possessed Clones and Soul treasures. Although the current situation was complicated, it was far from truly dangerous.

If he attempted deification solely for the sake of a heavy treasure, then he would genuinely be placing himself in danger.

"Shut up."

A giant hand instantly condensed within Qin Mu’s consciousness space and directly grabbed Ao Mengmeng in its palm.

"This time, you don’t need to say anything else. Just watch quietly."

Spirit Treasure Body Integration.

The power of Qin Mu’s Divine Sense world completely suppressed Ao Mengmeng, who now possessed only a remnant Soul.

"Oww~ wuwuwu!!!~???"

Ao Mengmeng struggled desperately, but it was useless. She couldn’t resist at all and could only stare at Qin Mu with her wide dragon eyes.

Even so, she still wanted to stop Qin Mu from carrying out such a dangerous plan...

On the account panel:

Energy Stones: Over 3 billion.Arena Points: 50 million.

"First, buy Spirit Marrow."

Qin Mu immediately placed the order.

Three hundred bottles.

Even if he didn’t end up using all of them, simply having such resources on hand felt reassuring.

Although Qin Mu already possessed some of this precious material, he had never believed there was such a thing as "too much" when it came to resources.

"Next are Fire-Element Source Stones and Primordial Star Energy... Two million units should be enough, right?"

Then came the most important item.

"Star Core."

This was one of the crucial materials required for deification.

Technically, only one was necessary.

However, the more Star Cores one prepared, the larger the core formed after deification would become, and the stronger the resulting Divine Body would be.

Only the Arena Mall stocked this item, priced at eighteen million Energy Stones each.

"Hmm, not cheap."

"Let’s start with a hundred pieces."

With that single purchase, 2 billion Energy Stones instantly vanished from the account.

To be honest, possessing 2 billion Energy Stones was already an unimaginable fortune for ordinary Star Realm Cultivators.

Even most gods were not worth that much money.

Some ordinary gods might spend thousands of years accumulating wealth and still never reach such an amount.

If someone told them to spend all that wealth merely to create a god...

Waste!

It was simply too wasteful!!!

Realms could gradually improve with time, but wealth was not so easy to accumulate.

At least, that was how ordinary cultivators viewed it.

After all, they possessed long lifespans. They could slowly raise their Realms and steadily accumulate energy over time. Wealth, meanwhile, was essential for purchasing cultivation techniques, treasures, Divine Weapons, and countless other resources.

In fact, for gods whose bodies were composed entirely of energy...

Energy Stones were not merely money.

They were Life itself.

Because once an energy-based body was injured, Energy Stones were needed to repair it.

With money, there was life.

Without money, there was death.

A brutally simple reality.

To them, wasting wealth was no different from wasting their own lives.

But Qin Mu...

Qin Mu simply didn’t care about such things.
