Outside Of Time
chapter-315-30041322

Xu Qing stared at the wish box as a strange glint appeared in his eyes.

Previously, he had heard from Wu Jianwu that all kinds of items might appear in the wish box. The good ones could be an emperor-level inheritance, and the bad ones might be just dry leaves.

It all depended on luck.

And on this first opening, there was a medicinal pill and a jade slip. According to Xu Qing's understanding, this could already be considered extremely good luck.

He calmed his emotions and was about to pick up the jade slip to take a look.

However, at this moment, Xu Qing's expression suddenly changed. He closed the wish box and isolated the aura inside, but his entire body was already turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Poison?" Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.

It wasn't just his skin and flesh, even his internal organs looked like they were about to rot. What surprised Xu Qing was that he didn't feel any pain.

There was no abnormality at all. It was as though the blackening and rotting were all an illusion. In fact, even his instincts and the magic power in his body didn't sense anything.

However, regardless of whether it was seeing them or his understanding of the Dao of Poison, he was certain that the poison he was poisoned with was extraordinary.

"What poison is this…" As Xu Qing mumbled, the flesh on his face began to fall off, bringing with it a large amount of blood. Not only his face but also his entire body was melting.

Even so, he still didn't feel anything.

Xu Qing observed his body. The entire process lasted for about fifteen minutes. Under the recovery powers of the purple crystal, although Xu Qing's entire body was rotting, his recovery was equally fast.

Just like that, the rotting intent dissipated. After about another fifteen minutes, purple light curled around Xu Qing's body and he began to recover bit by bit. An hour later, his body returned to normal.

Xu Qing held his breath and looked at the wish box. A dark glint appeared in his eyes.

"This is a poison pill?"

"A poison pill that has been sealed for countless years. Just the aura it emits can destroy one's body and soul…" Xu Qing thought for a moment and opened the wish box again.

Even with the purple crystal, the effect of the poison was still so astonishing. Xu Qing didn't dare to directly pick up the poisonous pill. He was worried that the recovery speed of the purple crystal would be slower than the poison spreading. That would be dangerous.

However, his attainments in the Dao of Poison weren't shallow and he knew how to deal with such a matter. After pondering for a moment, he looked at the opened wish box. After a while, he closed it and the rotting of his body began again.

"Normally, if one is poisoned too many times, they will produce a certain amount of resistance to poison."

Xu Qing mumbled and didn't care about the rotting of his body. He grabbed a large number of medicinal herbs from the medicine shelf at the side and began to concoct medicinal pills according to the state of his body.

Xu Qing didn't know the main ingredients of this poison, so he couldn't detoxify it. What he was going to do was to treat the symptoms. Since this poison caused rotting, he would make qi, and blood medicine to ease it.

Very soon, the medicinal liquid was formed and Xu Qing swallowed it in one gulp. After this wave of poison dissipated, he repeated the same thing and opened the wish box. He continued this until dawn when his body finally produced some resistance to the poison.

Only then did he wear his gloves and carefully take out the jade slip. He infused his magic power into it. An ancient voice that carried some weakness echoed in Xu Qing's mind.

"What is the Great Dao?"

"All 3,000 Great Dao can lead to deification. Is there poison Dao among them?"

"The people of the world disdain evil and poison. Could such unorthodox methods lead one to greatness?"

"I once thought so too. I spurned the poison art until I killed a nonhuman that walked out of a Divine Realm one day. This cultivator's combat strength was astonishing and the Dao he cultivated was incomparably sinister. Before he died, he stared at me with a vicious gaze, causing my cultivation to fall by a realm day by day. Ten days later, I turned into a mortal and experienced 60 years of pain and torture in the mortal world. I used countless treasures before I finally got my life back. I also refined this poison from my body and turned it into a pill."

"From then on, I studied this pill until the calamity descended. I was unsuccessful in my research and am leaving it for the later generations."

"This pill is poison and also restriction! If a high-level cultivator obtains it, do not use it yourself; otherwise, you will be consigned to eternal damnation and certain death. A low-level Heavenly Palace Golden Core cultivator can use this poison pill to replace the golden core in their Heavenly Palace to become a poison cultivator who walks a different path from the others."

"Only then can their soul be changed and walk the path of this restriction pill!"

"According to my deduction, on the path of the restriction pill, one can use poison to shake the world and restriction to destroy all ages. It is a terrifying and unpredictable method of the Divine Realm. In the end, the Divine Realm became the great enemy of all races!"

Xu Qing's mind stirred greatly as he stared at the jade slip. At this moment, his body once again showed signs of rotting.

He closed his eyes and silently recalled the contents of the jade slip. The purple crystal was also flickering, resisting the poison in his body.

Just like that, the day passed and night fell. When the bright moon hung in the sky, Xu Qing opened his eyes.

While his body was constantly resisting the strange poison, his resistance to poison had increased a little. Hence, he carefully opened the wish box again and stared at the black pill.

Even though he was wearing gloves, Xu Qing still didn't dare to touch it.

"This is a peerless poisonous pill from the previous era. It's not for people to eat but to refine it and turn it into one's Golden Core."

A sharp glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes as he observed carefully. During this time, he closed the box many times. After his body recovered and adapted, he opened it again and continued to study it.

It was only when the sky was bright that Xu Qing finally got some information after studying it many times overnight.

In his opinion, this poison pill was a Great Dao opportunity and also an opportunity for the Golden Core realm. Moreover, it was completely different from the Golden Core realm in this era. Once he really used this pill to cultivate, his lethality would definitely be astonishing.

However, the process was extremely dangerous and difficult.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought as he recalled the description in the jade slip. Although he wasn't at the Golden Core Realm now, it wasn't too far away.

"It's a pity that this pill is only a semi-finished product. Moreover, it has experienced the baptism of time and is showing signs of exhaustion…"

With Xu Qing's attainments and understanding of poison, he could naturally tell that this black-colored poisonous pill was already in a withered state. If he wanted it to reach the level where it could be used, he would have to refine it again.

Moreover, this refining process depended on the level of his research and understanding of this pill.

"Refining this poison pill and activating it will require a large amount of poison!" Xu Qing sealed the wish box and carefully stored it before heaving a sigh of relief. His heart was filled with anticipation.

He felt that the items he obtained from the wish box this time would definitely be considered superior.

This made him even more interested in the other wish box that had yet to be fully nourished.

"I wonder when the war rewards will be distributed." If he wanted to refine this pill, he needed a large number of spirit stones to buy all kinds of poisonous grass. This made Xu Qing, who was short of money, start to think about the war rewards.

However, the Sea Corpse Race hadn't delivered the war compensation yet, so the sect didn't distribute the rewards. Xu Qing took out his identity jade slip to check the sect news for the past few days.

With that glance, Xu Qing's eyes instantly narrowed.

During these few days, he was immersed in his research on the Poison Restriction Pill and didn't pay attention to the outside world. He didn't know that in these few days, a few major events had happened in the sect that shocked all the disciples.

This major event was related to the heaven's chosens from the Seven Sects Alliance!

The heaven's chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance had arrived aggressively a few days ago. Their arrival had already attracted the attention of the disciples of the various peaks of the Seven Blood Eyes. The way they appeared and their peerless aura were even more eye-catching.

The next day, the heaven's chosens of the seven sects began to challenge the various highnesses of the Seven Blood Eyes one after another like it was their mission!

It was as though they were establishing their might!

The Soaring Cloud Sword Sect's Saintly Star was even more prominent. As the number one heaven's chosen of this generation of the Seven Sects Alliance and the first of the Sequence, he could suppress all cultivators of the same realm.

His reputation was so great that not only did it spread in the Yinghuang Province, but it also spread to the other provinces in Fenghai County. The peak he challenged was the First Peak.

The First Peak of the Seven Blood Eyes came from the Soaring Cloud Sword Sect that the Saintly Star was from.

On that day, Saintly Star ascended the First Peak and greeted the ancestor and the First Peak's Peak Lord. He then proposed a challenge to the First Peak's first highness.

However, the first highness of the First Peak was in closed-door cultivation to break through to the Golden Core realm and couldn't take the challenge. Hence, the second highness of the First Peak, who was at the perfected Foundation Building realm, accepted the challenge.

In this battle, Saintly Star only used one strike to shatter all the bones in the second highness' body and cripple most of his cultivation base.

Even the Golden Core elder couldn't prevent it. After colliding with Saintly Star in the air, he was blasted back by almost 1,000 feet.

This scene shocked the entire Seven Blood Eyes. When Saintly Star attacked the Golden Core elder, he activated all four balls of life fire and lit his life lantern, forming the combat strength of five fires. Coupled with his emperor-level cultivation art, he actually reached the astonishing combat strength of six fires.

This combat strength was already a legendary realm among Foundation Building cultivators. Countless people could only dream of it but couldn't reach it. He could be called one of the top outstanding talents among the Foundation Building cultivators of all races.

The news of him possessing the potential of an ancient sovereign spread throughout the Nanhuang Continent because of this battle. It also caused the disciples of the various peaks of the Seven Blood Eyes to feel a sense of powerlessness.

Too strong.

The other heaven's chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance also challenged the peaks which came from their respective sects, but they didn't have Saintly Star's momentum of suppressing a peak alone.

In these challenges, there was victory and defeat. However, overall, the heaven's chosens of the Seven Sects Alliance were still superior. However, not all peaks were challenged. The Seventh Peak was not challenged at all.

However, a single peak didn't represent the sect. Hence, the Seven Blood Eyes, which had been in celebration mood due to their victory against the Sea Corpse Race, felt aggrieved.

These challenges were witnessed by the various races that came and went. The strength of the Seven Sects Alliance was also revealed.

Anyone could see very clearly that the Seven Sects Alliance was here to teach the Seven Blood Eyes a lesson and establish their might!

They weren't competing in high-end combat strength.

This was because there was no need.

Even though Xue Lianzi's talent was astonishing and he had unfathomable opportunities, and his cultivation had broken through from the Spirit Repository Realm to the Nihility Realm like any of the seven sects' ancestors, he was only one person.

There were more than seven high-end combatants in the Seven Sects Alliance. Most importantly, these seven sects had taboo magic treasures!

Therefore, the high-end combat strength was self-evident. As such, none of the higher-ups of the Seven Sects Alliance came this time. Instead, they sent out their respective heaven's chosen disciples. What they wanted was to suppress all the disciples of this generation of the Seven Blood Eyes and plant a seed in their hearts that they could not go against the Seven Sects Alliance.

Xu Qing could see this clearly but this matter had nothing to do with him. He wasn't a highness. Although he had done something major and became a member of the Sequence, he wasn't the main perpetrator of that matter. With so many highnesses around, no one would care about him.

Just like that, days passed. The heaven's chosens of the seven sects continued to challenge the peaks and their reputation rose rapidly, while the Seven Blood Eyes' disciples felt stifled. Late at night, Xu Qing, who was studying the poison pill, suddenly took out his jade ship. He had gotten a message from the Homicide Department.

"Sir, a large number of Night Doves have gathered at Port 79 to trade with someone. The buyer… is suspected to be the heaven's chosen of the Seven Sects Alliance's Bizarre Hunting Sect's Sima Ling!"

"Sir, please decide how to deal with it!"
