Outside of Time - Chapter 1217

Chapter 1195: Stepping on the rainbow and overlooking the mountains

Xu Qing was no stranger to the name Chen Batian.

After all, this person appeared on the trial star map at the moment of the one-month countdown to the Xiandu trial, and was the focus of everyone’s attention. There were very few cultivators in the entire fifth star ring who did not know about him.

There are even more and more rumors and speculations about this person.

However, among the numerous rumors, no matter how bold the fantasy is, none of them conforms to the actual facts.

Really… no one could have imagined that the so-called first place in the Xiandu Trial was actually a gift.

Moreover, it is a gift created by human hands from scratch.

At this moment, the person who created this gift was bending down respectfully and smiling humbly.

This is what makes Zhou Zhengli so terrifying.

Before, he was suppressed by Xinghuanzi, so he had always been cautious and not showing his edge. Xu Qing even felt that this person and Xie Lingzi might not have such a big conflict or a situation where they were bound to die.

Everything may be because Zhou Zhengli and Xie Lingzi both understand that they need to do this, need to have conflicts, and need such a character setting…

Only in this way can the great men be happy.

Even if the big shots know that they are acting, being willing to act, willing to be an actor in the eyes of the big shots, is itself a kind of humility.

Xu Qing doesn’t think of himself as a big shot, let alone as the second Xing Huanzi.

Because he has no need to conquer others.

Whether it is the fifth star ring or the next destination, Xiandu, for him, it is just a stop in the journey of life.

In this site, he is cautious and… does whatever he wants.

No matter what hidden purpose Zhou Zhengli has, Xu Qing doesn’t care.

Because venomous snakes actually look very beautiful when they don’t show their fangs.

And if the fangs were exposed, as Xu Qing had said to Zhou Zhengli…

He likes to eat snakes. The more poisonous the snake, the better it tastes.

Past events in childhood, experiences in Wanggu Continent, inheritance from his master, and what he saw and heard while following Erniu, all made Xu Qing… more poisonous.

So he just glanced at Zhou Zhengli, then moved his eyes away and looked at Chen Batian beside him.

“This Chen Batian is someone I carefully selected. There is no deep cause and effect in this person.” Zhou Zhengli said softly.

“In addition, this person is also full of evil, and his evil is mainly lust.”

Zhou Zhengli is very clear that when doing things or giving gifts, one must make the recipient feel comfortable.

Therefore, the person he chooses must not have any cause or effect in the background, and must also be someone who can be killed.

Only in this way can the person receiving the gift feel comfortable.

In addition, in order to make the person receiving the gift feel more at ease, he stepped back a few steps after bowing, making himself farther away from Chen Batian than Xu Qing.

Because Chen Batian is dying, and the fire of life is extinguished at this moment.

On the way to bring him here, he had already used some means on Chen Batian so that he could die naturally, and the time… was almost up.

In this way, there will be no misunderstanding.

Don’t let people think that you have hidden a needle in the gift.

He was the one who killed the person indirectly, and it had nothing to do with the person who received the gift.

As for such a dying cultivator, at the moment of his death, the Quasi-Immortal Order will be released and absorbed by the person closest to him.

That’s why he stepped back.

Xu Qing didn’t say anything.

Just like that, after dozens of breaths, Chen Batian’s last breath dissipated.

At the moment of death, a quasi-Xiandu order flew out of his body, shining brightly.

The moment it rose, it headed straight for Xu Qing. The moment it merged into his body, the entire sky roared, and the rankings on the star map appeared, changing.

First, it became Xu Qing!

Zhou Zhengli bowed to Xu Qing.

Then it slowly retreated until it left Tai’a Mountain, flew into the sky and disappeared.

Xu Qing did not try to stop him. He stared at the horizon for a long time, then looked away. His body became blurred and he walked into time and space.

According to the law of time and space, it leaves silently and without any trace of cause and effect.

After a while, the sky rippled and the figure of Zhou Zhengli, who had left, reappeared. He lowered his head to look at Mount Tai’a, as if thinking about something.

“It is indeed very different from Xinghuanzi.”

“If Xing Huanzi had such an advantage and such strength, he would definitely be less cautious, and would most likely choose to stay here and wait for the trial to end.”

“And this Xu Qing… He clearly has such an advantage and has suppressed all the stars. Xie Lingzi and I have successively given gifts to lower our posture, but he is still so cautious.”

“This doesn’t seem to be intentional, it’s more like…it’s instinct!”

Zhou Zhengli sighed softly.

“Not easy to mess with.”

Then his body shook and disappeared again.

…

Time passes, and the countdown to the Xiandu Trial is only seven days away.

During this period, with the changes in the star map rankings and the rankings of the various sects, the storm caused by the name Xu Qing in the fifth star ring has already shaken the world.

Chen Batian disappeared, Xu Qing became the first!

As a result, rumors about Xu Qing became more and more numerous during this period.

After he became number one, the influence he brought to those cultivators who had interactions with him was also not small.

In the western star region, Li Mengtu is still working hard.

Although he is currently ranked fifth, it is inevitable for him to enter Xiandu.

But sensing the ranking, he fell silent and still chose to continue collecting Quasi-Xiandu Orders.

“It’s impossible to surpass them, but we can’t fall behind too much either.”

There are similar sounds in the southern star region.

From the Yuanshan family.

From Daxian Mountain.

Yuan Shansu is in seclusion. She wants to break through her own cultivation and become a quasi-immortal before the trial is over. This is the only way for her to enter the Immortal City now.

“I can do it!”

As for Jiang Fan, he chose the same path as Yuan Shansu and also gave it his all.

The thousands of soldiers in the northern star region were much more relaxed than Jiang Fan and Yuan Shansu because of their master.

They have new tokens and start over.

Relying on their cultivation and combat power, this process is not difficult, but it requires repeated battles, and time is tight, so during this period of time, the two brothers can be said to be extremely busy.

Every time their ranking improves, they would curse Xu Qing to boost their own motivation.

The eastern star region is different from other places.

Xie Lingzi and Zhou Zhengli’s rankings are stable, one second and the other third.

Moreover, both of them have given up on promotion and just need to wait for the Xiandu trial to end.

However, in their respective places, the direction they looked most towards was… the Star Ring Tower!
If there was still a final variable in this Xiandu Trial, then in their opinion, it must be at the Star Ring Tower!

At this moment, in the Star Ring Tower, that boundless high tower, located in the central area, in the tallest tower, endless starlight is being drawn in.

In this tower, starlight falls and merges into an extremely complex formation on the ground.

In the formation, a young man was sitting cross-legged.

As the starlight fell, after transferring through the formation, it flowed into the young man’s body, causing meridians transformed from starlight to appear all over his body.

And his body and this star tower seemed to merge together in this process.

There was also a strong aura of immortal spirits rising from his body. Looking closely, this aura came from the young man’s… immortal embryo!
It was the immortal embryo that had already reached maturity after experiencing illusion and immortality.

It is also a symbol of quasi-immortality.

This is a remodeled creature with starlight as veins, star towers as bones, and immortal embryos as flesh and blood…

Xinghuanzi!
“If there is no upside down in the catastrophe, how can the Tai Kun appear after the catastrophe!”

The hoarse voice echoed in the star tower.

“My disciple, you have already met the calamity and perished in it. This is your fate.”

“In this way, I, the master, will reshape your body for you, so that you can realize the world from now on and have a smooth path to immortality!”

As the sound echoed, Xing Huanzi, who was sitting cross-legged on the formation, suddenly opened his eyes. Endless starlight emanated from his eyes, making the star tower dazzling.

“He’s outside, waiting for you.” The hoarse voice came again.

Xing Huanzi was silent for a while and then shook his head.

“No.”

“Why not?”

“I still can’t win now. If I fight him, I will lose the name of Xingchen, so there is no need to force it. My fight with him… will be in Xiandu!”

“good!”

…

Outside the Star Ring Tower, there is a mountain.

His name is Jiutian.

On the top of the Jiutian Mountain, Xu Qing sat cross-legged. In front of him was an endless star ring tower.

Under the red aurora, the starlight guided by these high towers was particularly obvious, and the points where the starlight gathered were where Xu Qing was looking.

He is waiting for Xinghuanzi.

The moment he arrived in the Eastern Star Region, he could sense the other party’s presence.

It is already known that Xinghuanzi… has returned.

So he came to the outside of the Star Ring Tower, sat here, and waited for the other party to fight.

But unfortunately, Xinghuanzi has not come yet.

Xu Qing looked normal.

Since you are not coming, don’t force it.

So he closed his eyes.

Let time pass by.

Until the last day, the last hour, the last quarter of an hour of the Xiandu Trial countdown…

It passes by!

Thunder was heard in the sky of the fifth star ring.

The thunder was not loud at first, but it soon spread to the east, to everything, to the entire fifth star ring.

The thunder roared, shocking the world. Hundreds of millions of monks put down whatever they were doing at this moment, and instinctively became quiet, raising their heads.

The majestic voice echoed in the thunder.

“The Xiandu Trial is over. The top 100 will enter Xiandu!”

As the sound came, amid the excitement and anticipation of countless monks in the fifth star ring, and amidst countless envious gazes, colorful rainbows fell from the aurora in the sky.

There are ninety-nine in total, located in different places, scattered in the four major star fields, corresponding to those who have obtained the qualifications of the Immortal City.

It fell in front of them!
This is the Guiding Rainbow!
This is the road to the Immortal Capital that all the cultivators of the Fifth Star Ring have dreamed of in their lifetime!

At this moment, in front of those rainbows, those monks who had experienced killing and catastrophe in the trial and successfully ascended in blood and killing, had waves of emotion in their hearts and their breathing became rapid to varying degrees.

They were all waiting for this moment!
So they all raised their feet and stepped onto the rainbow in front of them.

And just as they were about to move upwards, thunder rose again in the sky and the entire fifth star ring roared.

In the eyes of countless people, they saw a huge rainbow that surpassed all other rainbows, shocking the world, like a long river.

Other rainbows, after all, are just trickles.

This long river shines with dazzling light with its vast momentum and shocking power.

Falling from the sky.

It fell in the east, on the Jiutian Mountain.

Everyone was shocked.

Xu Qing opened his eyes and looked at the bright road in front of him. He stood up and took a step forward.

Stepping on the rainbow, walking towards the sky.

He ascended into the sky together with other ascenders in different places, as if flying into the sky.

After walking towards the sky together…the supreme fairyland.
