Outside of Time - Chapter 1209

Chapter 1187 The First Star: Xu Qing

Not far indeed.

At the moment when Xing Huanzi was killed in the fifth world, at the entrance of the Immortal Palace, right in front of the Welcoming Immortal Platform…

A blurry figure appeared there.

This place is one of the three paths leading into the Fairy Palace. Xu Qing once saw from afar a bridge in the mist.

At this moment, the fog was rolling, and the figure suddenly retreated after appearing, and appeared on the Yingxiantai in a moment.

The moment he stepped on the bluestone, the figure staggered and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

His chest was heaving, his breathing was rapid, and his expression showed that he had survived a disaster.

It’s Xinghuanzi.

However, his breathing was intermittent now, and his body was filled with weakness. One could even see that half of his body was in a state of confusion between illusion and reality.

“Xu Qing…”

Xing Huanzi had a gloomy expression, and his body shook as he rushed towards the exit of the Immortal Palace.

The next moment, he had left the fairy palace.

The moment he flew out, he saw several people sitting cross-legged in meditation outside the Immortal Falling Land.

A quick glance revealed Li Mengtu and Zhou Zhengli.

Almost at the same time his gaze fell, the cultivators sitting cross-legged here also sensed something, especially Li Mengtu and Zhou Zhengli, they both looked up instantly and their gazes fell on Xing Huanzi.

Li Mengtu’s eyes narrowed.

Zhou Zhengli seemed to be thinking about something.

As for Xinghuanzi, he did not stop here. He took a step towards nothingness, stepped onto the horizon, and sped away.

The speed was carried out to the extreme.

Not until he reached the edge of the Immortal Falling Land did he turn around and look in the distance in the direction of the Immortal Palace.

As for the half of his body that was between illusion and reality, with his breathing, the illusion slowly faded away and became completely real.

This is his way of preserving his life, and also the secret method of the Star Ring Tower.

Through sacrifice, he built his own star tower, and then used the tower to replace his life.

In this way, life-and-death crises can be resolved.

And he has built seven Star Ring Towers over the years.

“I didn’t expect that I would spend a statue here…”

Thinking of the scene in the fifth-level world before, Xing Huanzi felt fear in his heart. He had to admit that the other party’s understanding of the constitution… exceeded his own by a lot.

“Whether it’s killing or hiding, his character is terrifying!”

“So if you want to suppress it, I need to improve my constitution to the point where I can destroy all the time and space that it controls. Otherwise… it will be extremely difficult to kill him.”

“unless……”

A faint light flashed in Xinghuanzi’s eyes.

“I have a way to find his hidden true self under the guidance of my Heavenly Law!”

“This person’s greatest weakness… is his true form!”

“His cultivation is at the level of a master, and his immortal embryo is still in the process of formation, so as long as there is a way to find his true body hidden in other time and space…”

“Then there is still a chance to kill him!”

Xing Huanzi was silent and finally shook his head.

Theory is just theory after all.

In order to complete it… Xing Huanzi knew that he couldn’t do it now.

So he took a deep breath and disappeared in an instant.

He was not sure whether the other party would continue to chase him, but the sense of crisis in his heart always existed.

So he understood that he had to leave the western star region as soon as possible and try to return to the east as quickly as possible.

The crisis will be resolved only when we reach the east.

…

At the same time, in the fifth world of the Immortal Palace, Xu Qing looked at the breath in his palm, pinched it, and put it into time and space. Then he raised his head and swept his eyes over the quasi-immortal emperors in all directions.

Without saying anything, he took a step forward.

His body suddenly became blurred.

But the next moment, his figure became clear from the blur.

“The sixth floor is indeed impossible to reach.”

At this step, he was trying to see if he could enter the sixth world.

Although he knew that the sixth floor of the Immortal Palace was a place only accessible to those with lower-level immortal combat power, since he had already reached the fifth floor, he naturally wanted to give it a try.

After verifying this moment, Xu Qing took another step forward. This time… he did not insist on going to the sixth floor, but returned.

In an instant, his figure disappeared.

When he appeared, he was already on the welcoming platform at the entrance of the Immortal Palace.

“For me, this opportunity in the Immortal Palace has ended.”

Standing on the Welcoming Immortal Platform, Xu Qing raised his head and looked towards the Immortal Palace.

This experience emerged in his mind, scene by scene, like the churning of the long river of time, rolling up the sand at the bottom of the river and flowing in his eyes.

In a trance, Xu Qing seemed to see a young man in white.

He stood at the other end of the long river of time, holding a marriage certificate, and beside him was a girl in wedding clothes. The two of them looked at him, smiled at him, and then held hands and bowed.

That smile contains an unspeakable past.

Maybe it is youth, maybe it is suffering, maybe there is beauty, maybe there is pain.

The waves of flowing water disturb the picture.

Xu Qing turned around and saw himself standing at this end of the long river of time.

Then, he smiled gently and bowed back to the other end of the long river of time.

Yesterday’s storms, today’s echoes.

The flowing water dissipated, and the stirred up sand and gravel became starlight, which gradually dissipated.

Xu Qing stood up, walked down the Welcoming Immortal Platform, and took one step… to the exit of the Immortal Palace.

The moment he stood on the place where the immortals fell, the long-lost red aurora in the sky fell on him. All the scenery in front of him was as dim as ever under the aurora.

But it’s different from before.

This light, in his place, becomes soft.

It contains fatherly love.

Xu Qing closed his eyes and felt silently. When he opened his eyes after a while, he saw everyone outside the Immortal Palace.

The Earth Spirit Ancestor, Li Mengtu, Zhou Zhengli, and some cultivators he didn’t know.

These people are all those who have returned from the Immortal Palace. The reason why most of them did not leave is that they chose to stay here to wait for the end of the Immortal Palace and the moment when the tide receded, so as to practice and gain insights.

After all, for them, this trip was only in the third world. Although they gained something, it was not much.

But obviously, those who had such plans did not include Li Mengtu and Zhou Zhengli.

The former looked at Xu Qing with a complicated expression and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

It seemed that everything in the fourth world had a profound impact on him, so that when he looked at Xu Qing, he always vaguely felt that he was still Zhong Chi…

As for Zhou Zhengli beside him, he was obviously much calmer than Li Mengtu, and he would not consider the mirror history between the present world and the fourth world.

For him, the key is to seize the opportunity, continue the previous relationship, and make sure that this relationship does not end in a mirror image, but still exists in the future.

Especially after he saw Xing Huanzi, who was obviously seriously injured and left quickly before, this idea became more firm in his mind.

So at this moment when his eyes met Xu Qing’s, Zhou Zhengli took a few quick steps.

When he arrived in front of Xu Qing, his posture was exactly the same as in the fourth world. He was extremely respectful and bowed.

“Young Master.”

“Congratulations, young master, on your breakthrough in cultivation and your ascension to the highest level, becoming the first star in the fifth star ring!”

Xu Qing looked at Zhou Zhengli.

“This is no longer a mirror history.”

Zhou Zhengli shook his head.

“It wasn’t Young Master Jiguang who convinced Zhou.”

Hearing this, Xu Qing looked at Zhou Zhengli with deep meaning in his eyes. The Earth Spirit Ancestor beside him also came quickly at this moment, bowed deeply to Xu Qing, and spoke excitedly.

“Now that you have returned, I can finally put my worries to rest. I have been worried about your safety in the fourth world since you saved my life.”

“These days, I have been worried and anxious. I only regret that my cultivation is not enough and I cannot go to the fourth level world to help you and serve you.”

“Until yesterday, I suddenly had an epiphany, and I felt relieved.”

“What I suddenly realized is that you are a genius, you have a far-sighted vision, you think carefully, and you have made every possible plan. Even if there are huge storms in the fourth world, they must be within your expectations.”

“The younger generation just needs to wait outside, because the final outcome will definitely be great luck and everything will go well!”

“Finally, I would like to thank you for saving my life in the Immortal Palace. I congratulate you on your success in this trip to the Immortal Palace. I wish you a bright future on your path to the stars!”

The Earth Spirit Ancestor spoke loudly.

Zhou Zhengli, who was standing aside, glanced sideways for the first time.

It also caused the shadow under Xu Qing’s feet to shake.

Even the sky seemed to be disturbed by the words of the Earth Spirit Ancestor.

Suddenly, the red aurora became brighter and brighter, and the rumbling sounded like thunder coming from the sky, and it even affected more than just the sky…

The entire western sky was roaring.

The same is true for the east, south and north.

The sky of the fifth star ring seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand, revealing the starry sky and the stars.

The stars have different brightness, some are bright, some are dim.

And they all correspond to the specific cultivation of the fifth star ring!
That is… the reflection of the Quasi-Xiandu Order!

This scene immediately changed the expressions of everyone outside the Immortal Falling Land, and they all looked up.

Not only them, at this moment, the vast majority of cultivators in the entire Fifth Star Ring are like this.

because……

“The third and final stage of the Xiandu Trial has begun!”

Zhou Zhengli’s eyes flashed with surprise and he spoke in a low voice.

This part is about killing and elimination!

Its arrival represents the final decision!

Afterwards, the lights on the tokens of all the cultivators who possessed the Quasi-Xiandu Token shone brightly.

Xu Qing’s place was no exception. The light was dazzling. At the same time as the stars shone, the drums of killing sounded within the heaven and earth.

The sound of boom echoed like thunder exploding in the sky.

The expressions of the cultivators who were originally practicing outside the Immortal Falling Land also changed one by one. They immediately stood up and left.

Zhou Zhengli took a deep breath and bowed to Xu Qing again.

“Young Master, entering Xiandu is inevitable for you. I still need to work hard to strive to be with you after the trial… See you in Xiandu!

And from now on, all those who possess the Xiandu token will focus on this trial.”

After saying that, Zhou Zhengli shook his body and headed straight for the starry sky.

Seeing that Zhou Zhengli had left and most of the people around him had left, Li Mengtu walked forward slowly.

“That… Thousands of troops were scared away. After those two swords came out, they ran faster than anyone else… But I can feel that the aura on them is not much different from that in the fourth-level world. I expect that the recognition of the master can affect the present world.”

“The constitution in me has also changed.”

“As for the evil spirit, I didn’t see him. I think he was the first one to come out, so he left early.”

“And Yuan Shansu, I saw her leave quickly with a complicated expression.”

“I…I also want to go and gain experience to improve my ranking in the Quasi-Xiandu Order. Do you…want to come with me?”

Li Mengtu spoke with some awkward words.

Xu Qing smiled when he heard that, then shook his head and raised his right hand. The aura of the star ring flowed inside his palm.

Li Mengtu’s eyes fixed.

“You want to…”

“There’s something of mine on Xinghuanzi. I’m going to get it back.”

Xu Qing spoke calmly and took a step towards the horizon.
