Outside Of Time

430 A Long Way to Go

The other three sects were also engaged in a similar battle. However, they clearly did not have the arrangements and rhythm of the Seven Blood Eyes. However, with the Sword Holding Court holding down the fort, they were still able to resolve the issue.

However, they were unable to seal the corpses.

In those three locations, after being suppressed the divinity of the corpses strangely climbed to such an extreme level that they collapsed and turned into ashes, leaving nothing behind as if they had self-destructed.

At the same time as the operation ended, Crown Prince Purple Green, who was wearing a black robe and the god mask, was strolling on his way to the county capital of Fenghai County in another province.

!!

The eyes under the mask didn’t have any fluctuations of emotions. They were as calm as water and didn’t have any longing for the Yinghuang Province behind him. It was the same as when he left the Nanhuang Continent and came to the Yinghuang Province.

Behind him was Night Dove.

“Master, of the five voluntary god specimens, four were found by accident, and one went into hiding.”

“It’s not a surprise,” the black-robed young man in front said calmly.

“All the abilities and deficiencies of the four god specimens that have been found have been recorded and the fifth god specimen has been informed. It can be used to improve the next round of deification.”

“But… there was a small issue.” Night Dove hesitated for a moment.

“Tell me about it.” The black-robed young man in front still had the same expression.

“The place where the accident happened was in the Minor Affairs Sect. The Seven Blood Eyes seemed to have noticed our goal.”

“Looking at this matter from the beginning to the end, it seems that their goal was that specimen. Moreover, its self-destruction failed and was sealed. The mastermind should be that Old Master Seventh.” At this point, Night Dove’s forehead was covered in sweat.

He was the one who had arranged the four locations. Everything had been normal. It was an accident that the locations had been found out, but it wasn’t unacceptable. However, a god specimen had been sealed. The responsibility was too great for him to bear.

The black-robed young man ahead stopped in his tracks.

After a long time, he turned around and looked in the direction of the Yinghuang Province. The eyes under the broken face of the god were no longer calm. Instead, they revealed a strange light.

“My brother’s master? I’ve paid attention to this person before. Now that I look at it again, this person… is not simple.”

“It’s a pity that we already know about the matter of the Yinghuang Province. Otherwise, I would really like to have a talk with this person.”

The black-robed young man stared in the direction of the Yinghuang Province for a long time before retracting his gaze and continuing forward.

“If they got it, so be it. Just treat it as a thank-you gift from me to him for accepting my brother. Besides… divinity is not something that mortals can study and control.”

The black-robed young man said indifferently and walked further and further away.

Night Dove heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn’t help but ask along the way.

“Master, what exactly is divinity?”

“Due to the difference in life level, I can’t explain it to you,” the black-robed young man replied calmly.

“You can’t know, and it’s difficult for you to figure it out. It’s just like how an ant can’t understand your thoughts. You’re the same.”

“This is an uncrossable gap between humanity and divinity.”

“To put it simply, you can have thousands of thoughts in every single moment. But what divine creatures pursue is to have an infinite number of thoughts every moment. Every moment gives rise to unspeakable profundities.”

“Once you can do it, or if you accomplish it to a certain extent, then in His eyes, you are not an individual, but countless. Everything about you is transparent. Your past and your future all exist in His eyes at the same time.”

As he spoke, the black-robed young man waved his hand. Instantly, countless images appeared outside Night Dove’s body. There was the past and the future. Countless images overlapped, forming scenes that mortals would suffer a mental breakdown upon seeing them.

In the many images, the black-robed young man casually grabbed and seven of them appeared. They were all the outcomes of Night Dove’s death at the hands of different people.

“He can change everything about you, and He can manipulate the images of your fate. It will only take a moment.” At this point, the black-robed young man gently squeezed, and the images shattered and dissipated.

He looked up at the fragmented-face of the god in the sky and sighed.

“Therefore, ever since He appeared, we couldn’t help but call Him a deity.”

Night Dove looked at the dissipating images and couldn’t help but tremble. Then, when he looked at his master in front of him, his gaze became even more fanatical.

Under the setting sun, the two figures walked toward Fenghai County’s capital.

After completing the Blood Massacre Mission in the Minor Affairs Sect, the Seven Blood Eyes rode the great wing and returned to the Alliance.

As the teleportation energy fluctuations spread, the sky changed color, and the Seven Blood Eyes’ team disappeared.

When they appeared, they were already above the Seven Blood Eyes. The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the world and landed on the disciples who had returned. However, most of them still had lingering fear in their hearts.

Although everyone knew that the power of the god was vast and could change the world and affect everything, it was actually an empty statement.

Very few people knew the exact way the god behaved. They only knew that His auras invaded all living beings, turning everything they looked at into a forbidden zone.

But now, they understood a little of the specifics… It was this little bit that made them feel uncontrollably terrified.

However, not everyone was like this. There were a small number of cultivators who had battle intent rising in their hearts even after sensing all of this. Xu Qing was one of them.

He had seen the god open His eyes twice. While he was more unfortunate than the others, he was also lucky. Firstly, he was not dead, and secondly, he had seen more.

Hence, after returning to the sect, Xu Qing immediately went to Lord Sixth’s grave. There, he placed Saintly Star’s head in front of the grave and sat down, silently staring at the tombstone.

As the sky darkened, Xu Qing picked up a pot of wine and took a sip before muttering softly.

“It’s not over yet.”

“It’s indeed not over!” The voice of Old Master Seventh came from behind him.

Old Master Seventh walked over and stood beside Xu Qing. He pressed Xu Qing’s shoulder, indicating that he didn’t need to get up to greet him. After that, he looked at the tombstone and Saintly Star’s head below.

“What Illuminate wants to do is something that no race can tolerate. This is only the beginning. I’ve already seen through the identity of Night Dove’s master . Behind him… is the Divine Realm.

“The great era has arrived, so those Divine Realms are about to enter the world again.” Old Master Seventh spoke softly. Xu Qing fell silent.

After a long time, Old Master Seventh patted Xu Qing’s shoulder again.

“He’s not your brother anymore.” With that, Old Master Seventh walked into the distance.

Xu Qing’s body trembled.

After a long time, he turned around and looked in the direction where Old Master Seventh had left.

...

He did not deliberately hide this matter, but he did not want to say it. However, it was obvious that he could not hide it from his master, who had spent all his attention studying Illuminate.

As night fell, Xu Qing stood up and bowed to Lord Sixth’s grave before turning to leave.

He walked down the mountain peak and walked alone on the road, looking at the night sky.

The October wind, with a touch of cold, blew from the sea and fell on him.

However, Xu Qing didn’t feel cold. He looked at the crowd on the streets and the lights until he saw a stall that was closing for the day. He knew the owner.

It was the same breakfast shop he often visited in the Nanhuang Continent. The other party had also come to the Wanggu Continent and not only did he sell breakfast, but he also opened it all day long.

Perhaps it was because of the recent depression in the Alliance, so the shop was closed a little early today. The owner also saw Xu Qing and came out.

“Eat?”

Xu Qing nodded and walked over. When he sat down, the owner happily scooped a bowl of beef soup and three eggs for him. Xu Qing took a sip and the familiar taste caused a smile to appear on his face.

The wind blew over and brushed past Xu Qing. However, this wasn’t important anymore.

The soup was very delicious. Xu Qing slowly drank it one mouthful after another until there wasn’t a single drop left. He then picked up the egg and peeled off the shell bit by bit before eating it.

...

He didn’t really like peeling eggs, but for the feeling of satisfaction, he still peeled them carefully.

In the end, after he finished eating, Xu Qing stood up in satisfaction and paid the spirit coins. He then cupped his fists and bowed to the shopkeeper. He left and returned to his birth under the shopkeeper’s uneasy expression.

“Life has to continue. There’s no rush… Saintly Star is only the first.” Xu Qing looked at the moon. His eyes shone with a profound light as he entered the cabin of the warship. He then sat down and began to cultivate.

In this battle, he had killed Saintly Star and devoured his Golden Crow. Now that his Golden Crow had reached the second stage, he had the combat strength of an additional palace. Although he only had two palaces, his battle prowess was equivalent to three palaces.

Coupled with other methods, Xu Qing could sweep through the three palaces. In fact, once the Poison Restriction was used, Xu Qing felt that even four palaces Golden Cores would ultimately die if they were unable to break the protective power of the Infinite Crown in a short time.

“However, I still have to work harder and strive to turn my third Heavenly Palace into corporeal.” Xu Qing mumbled softly as he looked at his own body. After he used the Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art to obtain golden cores several times, his third Heavenly Palace had already become half corporeal.

Although this speed didn’t seem very fast, when compared to the other Golden Core cultivators, Xu Qing’s speed was already extremely fast. As for Saintly Star, it was obvious that he had other opportunities and his speed wasn’t considered normal.

The remnant will contained in the golden cores that he had seized could not affect him at all.

The Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness suppressed everything.

Just like that, time slowly passed. Soon, a month had passed.

In the past month, the Alliance had completely wiped out the final impact of that calamity. At the same time, they had increased their efforts to recruit disciples to replenish their sects.

The Seven Blood Eyes had also made steady progress. Furthermore, Esteemed Master Dongyou had agreed to Xue Lianzi’s invitation. Not only was Dongyou Island an ally, but she had also joined the Seven Blood Eyes and become its guest ancestor.

Her participation had greatly increased the Seven Blood Eyes’ strength. Coupled with the fact that the Seven Blood Eyes had obtained the Blood Tree Taboo, the Seven Blood Eyes’ status in the Eight Sects Alliance rose greatly.

Everything was developing in a good direction. Xu Qing had also successfully materialized 80% of his third Heavenly Palace. He wasn’t far from completing it.

His mental state had mostly recovered, and everything was buried in his heart.

As for the Diamond Sect’s ancestor and the shadow, they were working hard to break through their shackles.

At this time… something big happened in the alliance!

This incident happened in the Mystic Nether Sect.

The location was in the forbidden area of the Mystic Nether Sect where the demon snake was nailed.

It happened early in the morning on this day. With a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar that spread throughout the entire Alliance, the soul of the demon snake in the Mystic Nether Sect woke up.

The reason why it woke up was partly because it was stimulated, and partly because a fang in its mouth had been broken by some unknown method.

The perpetrator was caught on the spot. It was Wu Jianwu of the Seven Blood Eyes.

It was said that Wu Jianwu was still reciting poems to the demon snake when he was captured…

In addition, although the person had been arrested, the fang had disappeared.

When Xu Qing found out about this, he was drinking soup at the breakfast stall. Yanyan was like a little wife, obediently peeling the eggs for Xu Qing.

Not long after, Xu Qing put down the spoon and inclined his head, staring at the figure rushing over.

It was the captain.

He flew over and sat beside Xu Qing, looking around with a guilty expression.

“Captain, you don’t look too good. Did you do something bad?” Xu Qing drank a mouthful of soup and asked softly.

“Little Qing, don’t talk nonsense. I just caught a cold because of the cold weather.” The captain coughed and his expression became solemn.

“By the way, do you still remember what I told you last time about doing something big? I’m going on a trip. Do the two of you want to come with me?”
