Outside of Time - Chapter 1298

Chapter 1276 Brother Will Lead You to Great Things

On the black glacier, Xu Qing sped through the air at full speed. He

was indeed like a hungry wolf!

During this time, he had not found a way to leave this primordial mother planet, and even though Xu Qing had sufficient reserves, the absorption of source matter from the mother planet still caused him some anxiety.

After all, besides himself, the Mud Fox also needed it, and as for the Goddess… Xu Qing had begun to consider giving up a few days ago.

It was simply that the source matter obtained from absorbing those remains was barely enough to replenish his own.

But as the time he spent here increased, the absorption rate from this planet gradually increased.

So for the past month, while searching for an exit, he was also searching for those complete corpses! However,

complete corpses must be those of true gods, and their numbers could not be too many. Moreover, after falling, they would sink into the glacier within a few days, so searching for them was naturally like finding a needle in a haystack.

As for the fall from the sky… that required luck.

At least in the past month, he had only seen it twice, once at the beginning and once now.

This was also the reason why Xu Qing’s heart was pounding at this moment.

“I’m very lucky this time. The place where the corpse fell is very close to me. I arrived immediately, and before the source essence within the corpse has been largely absorbed, I can use the Profound Nether Refining God Technique to refine the corpse’s source essence, which will alleviate the problem considerably.”

Xu Qing’s mind raced, and he moved even faster.

Half an hour later…

a massive corpse, entirely blue with black crystals growing on many parts of its skin, came into Xu Qing’s view.

Despite being dead, it still emitted waves of residual power,

causing the surroundings to distort.

At the same time, through the glacier, he could see a large number of source auras gathering below, waiting… waiting for the corpse to sink.

Xu Qing paused in mid-air, scanned the area, and confirmed that it was indeed dead. Without further hesitation, he instantly traversed the distorted void and appeared on the divine corpse. He landed on

the divine corpse’s chest.

Based on Xu Qing’s experience with remains and his previous absorption of divine corpses, he knew very well that the chest area often contained the most remaining source essence.

The moment he descended, Xu Qing didn’t hesitate. He activated the Profound Nether Refining God Technique, raising his right hand and pressing it against the skin of the divine corpse.

Refining through contact was much more efficient!

Then, his eyes gleamed, and he began refining with great force!

Instantly, wisps of Origin Essence rose from the chest of the divine corpse and merged into Xu Qing’s body.

Xu Qing’s eyes lit up.

“As expected, I arrived in time; not too much was absorbed by this star!”

Xu Qing was invigorated, refining at full speed, not forgetting to share some with the Mud Fox, which let out a soft whimper of surprise and satisfaction.

Meanwhile, the Origin Monsters beneath the glacier, sensing this scene, became restless. Although their voices couldn’t be heard, their instinct to fight for food seemed to drive them somewhat mad, causing them to crash against the ice.

Xu Qing ignored all of this, completely immersed in refining, merging the wisps of Origin Essence into his body.

As he refined, the skin of the divine corpse gradually lost its bluish color where his palm touched, turning pale, and even becoming somewhat dented.

Seeing this, Xu Qing was about to move to another spot to refine the essence.

But at that moment, an unexpected event occurred!

A hand, in a way that Xu Qing couldn’t dodge and hadn’t even noticed beforehand, seemed to appear out of thin air from beneath the now pale and sunken skin of the divine corpse.

It grabbed Xu Qing’s hand as he was about to raise it!

Xu Qing’s pupils contracted sharply. Before refining this corpse, he had carefully examined it to confirm that the god was dead and unharmed before beginning the refining process.

But now, such a drastic change had occurred!

Immortal embryos roared and appeared behind him, his entire cultivation erupting in a tremendous burst in that instant. Even the Mud Fox was terrified and wanted to help at all costs.

But the next instant… a gentle source essence was actually sent out from that hand, merging into Xu Qing’s body, and then it deliberately let go.

Xu Qing was filled with doubt and instinctively retreated.

Immediately afterward, a familiar voice echoed.

“How long have you been starving?”

The voice startled Xu Qing. Looking down, he saw a large indentation in the skin of the deity below, revealing two familiar figures:

a man and a woman .

The female cultivator smiled, her oval face gleaming like pearls. Her slightly upturned eyes, accentuated by her under-eye bags, gave her a gentle and warm

look. Beside her stood the male cultivator, dressed in a dark robe with silver threads and subtle patterns. Tall and slender, he wore a faint smile as he teased Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was stunned.

This expression was rarely seen on him.

He never expected to encounter these two here, especially while he was refining a corpse.

“You…”

Fairy Linghuang glared at Young Master Aurora, noticing Xu Qing’s expression.

“Why did you suddenly grab Young Friend Xu’s hand just now!”

Young Master Aurora laughed heartily.

“Perhaps you’re too happy to suddenly see an old friend, Xu Qing, were you startled?”

Xu Qing took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly shining brightly. He realized that this must be the reason the Immortal Venerable had arranged for him to come here!

So he quickly clasped his hands in greeting.

“Greetings, seniors!”

“What, the Aurora Immortal Palace sent you here, and the Outer Heaven sent you here too, yet you still call me senior? Are we that distant?” The young master of the Aurora raised an eyebrow, and for a moment, the cheeky feeling he had when he was disguised as a little person in the Aurora Immortal Palace resurfaced.

Ling Huang smiled beside him. Since entering the fourth star ring, she had mostly seen her husband’s expression as serious, rarely like this. She

understood that this was because of Xu Qing’s appearance.

So she smiled and said,

“You, do you really want little brother Xu to call you brother?”

The young master of the Aurora smiled but not.

Xu Qing blinked, recalling the scenes in the Aurora Immortal Palace, and readily complied.

“Brother.”

The Aurora Young Master laughed heartily, not asking why Xu Qing was there. Instead, he flicked his sleeve, and the divine corpse beneath him roared and visibly dissipated, transforming into crystals of primal energy that flew towards Xu Qing.

“Come on, brother will take you to do something big.”

With that, the Aurora Young Master’s body swayed, and together with Fairy Linghuang, he led Xu Qing straight into the sky, heading towards… the canyon.

Hearing those familiar words and seeing the Aurora Young Master before him, Xu Qing felt a surge of longing for another person who had uttered the same words as him many times before.

“I wonder how my senior brother is doing now…”

Xu Qing took a deep breath, suppressing his longing, and followed the Aurora Young Master and his wife.

The three figures pierced the eerie green sky, seemingly merging with the moonlight.

The eerie green moonlight quickly melted into the black, cold winds of the world.

This wind, carrying stained ice flowers, swept across the sky and arrived at the massive canyon, where it paused, revealing the three figures.

“This is it,” the Aurora Young Master said, gazing down.

This canyon, winding down from the far north, pierced the entire primordial mother planet, a sight both shocking and like a deep, ancient scar.

Inside the canyon, the countless bronze gates Xu Qing had seen before trembled faintly under the Aurora Young Master’s gaze, and the blue ice primordial demons before those gates now raised their heads.

They stared intently at the Aurora Young Master and his group.

Unlike Xu Qing earlier…

these Source Fiends now showed a hint of terror in their eyes, and a strong sense of apprehension, while emitting threatening growls like wild beasts under pressure.

Xu Qing, watching all this, felt a surge of security and looked towards the Aurora Young Master.

In mid-air, the Aurora Young Master stood there, his black robes motionless in the cold wind.

After a long while, his fingertips brushed against the wine flask hanging at his waist, picked it up, took a sip, and then poured it forward.

The spilled wine reflected countless afterimages of collapsing stars!

“The Immortal Venerable said that the rift on this primordial mother star is a trace left by the birth of the first god of this fourth star ring. It is a consequence of the rules, and also the secret of the god’s origin.”

The Aurora Young Master’s voice was calm, and as his words echoed, he raised his pale right hand and pressed it against the glacier on one side of the canyon.

The glacier trembled, as if grasped by an invisible hand, showing signs of shattering.

“But in my view, if we consider this star as the mother of that deity, then it is He who, within the mother’s womb, ripped open her belly and emerged, leaving this wound.”

The moment the Aurora Young Master’s voice rang out, his left hand rose and pressed down on the glacier on the other side of the seemingly endless canyon!

Then, he forcefully pried it open! Instantly,

the heavens and earth trembled, as if shaken.

A teeth-grinding cracking sound came from the depths of the ice, and the glaciers on both sides of the entire rift began to slowly undulate, like an old scab being torn open.

All the bronze gates within the glacier roared simultaneously.

Even more inky black mist violently surged forth from the cracks, while the primal fissures before the gates growled loudly, seemingly driven by instinct, each flying out and using the surging mist to directly rush out of the canyon!

They shrieked as they pounced towards the Aurora Young Master.

“Mere vessel, yet you dare to be noisy!”

A blood-red vertical pupil appeared between the Aurora Young Master’s brows, unleashing an overwhelming aura of power.

With a deafening roar, the mist gushing from the canyon vanished instantly, and the source monsters within howled under the oppressive force, falling one after another.

Some were even shattered into dust.

This scene stirred Xu Qing’s heart.

He knew that the Aurora Young Master must be very strong, after all, he was the grandson of the Immortal Venerable and the son of the Immortal Lord, born extraordinary, with astonishing talent. Although he had been sealed in the Immortal Palace for a long time, he still influenced the affairs of the Immortal Palace within that seal.

The layers of worlds that evolved were also opportunities for Xia Xian.

Not to mention that although the Aurora Immortal Lord had perished, he had done everything for his son.

In addition, after being unsealed, he came here again, and combined with the unknown plans of the Immortal Venerable behind all this…

“Peak Xia Xian!”

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed with a strange light.

“Before your brother came here, we hid on the edge of the battlefield of the Fourth Star Ring for a period of time, and then at the right opportunity, he made his move and killed the right wing commander of the Fourth Star Ring.”

Fairy Linghuang spoke softly.

These words, falling on Xu Qing’s ears, were like a howling wind, instantly dispelling much of the fog that had risen in his mind during the Fifth Star Ring battlefield.

In Xu Qing’s initial analysis, the flesh-and-blood millstone on the left flank of the Fifth Star Ring was a beacon, meant to attract everyone’s attention. At the time, he judged that something significant was about to happen in the unknown.

And indeed, that was the case: the commander of the right flank of the Fourth Star Ring was assassinated by a mysterious figure!

It was precisely because of this incident that the Goddess herself arrived, using her bloodline talent to attempt to accelerate the resurrection of the deceased divine commander.

And it was because of this that Xu Qing heard about Ling Ke’s return through a shell, and the Goddess being severely injured…

leading to her being wanted and captured by Xu Qing!

All these causes and effects were intricately linked!

“And this is only the first part of the Fifth Star Ring Plan!”

“Using the chaos on the left wing to become a beacon of flesh and blood, attracting everyone and drawing in a large number of gods, thus giving the Aurora Young Master the opportunity to assassinate him—that’s the first part!”

“Using the death of a divine commander to guide Ling Ke, and simultaneously attracting the Goddess—that’s the second part!”

“All of this, on the surface, is Zhanlu Immortal Lord’s plan to explore the secrets of Li Zhu God Emperor’s divine status, hence this series of plans. The ultimate goal seems to be the Goddess…”

“Meanwhile, Li Zhu God Emperor also noticed this, so he turned the tables, allowing his Goddess to be captured, with the aim of using Zhanlu Immortal Lord’s exploration and the Goddess’s bloodline to investigate the Zhanlu Constitution in reverse!”

“Thus, the subsequent transaction took place…” “

But considering what happened afterward, all of this… from beginning to end, is actually part of the Flesh and Blood Beacon Plan, designed to make the beacon shine even brighter!”

“If the initial left-wing beacon was meant to lure the right wing of the gods to carry out the assassination, then the great battle with the goddess’s arrival was meant to draw the entire battlefield away, simultaneously trapping Li Zhu!

And the final transaction, the battlefield transformed into beacons, even my departure and the wanted notice against me, were all part of those beacons, all meant to attract… the attention of the entire Fourth Star Ring’s gods!”

“Layer upon layer, growing ever larger!”

“And all of this… what it truly seeks to conceal is… the appearance of the Aurora Young Master here!”

Xu Qing’s mind suddenly cleared; all the threads connected in that instant.

“Truly a Celestial Venerable’s scheme…”

Xu Qing took a deep breath, looked at the Aurora Young Master before him, then turned to Fairy Linghuang, asking,

“So, what is he going to do now?”

Fairy Linghuang, her gaze fixed on her husband as she watched him walk step by step into the canyon, softly replied to Xu Qing,

“Your brother is going to skin this primordial mother planet.”
