Outside Of Time
chapter-469

Xu Qing didn't sense anything specific but at that moment earlier, he felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.

"There…" Xu Qing was vigilant and the feeling of vigilance was intense.

His injuries were very serious, so he had been in seclusion to recuperate these few days. At that moment, he had mostly recovered. Hence, he picked up the voice transmission jade slip and asked about the recent events, especially about the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.

He was asking the ancestor, Xue Lianzi.

Xu Qing knew that there was no point in simply thanking the ancestor. He would remember the matter of the ancestor rescuing him immediately after he fell.

Xu Qing wouldn't forget the healing pill the latter had given him.

Xu Qing remembered how well others treated him, even if it was just a little. It was the same if it was the opposite.

Very soon, Xu Qing obtained an answer. At the same time, the ancestor also told him some things about the moon totem, including the fall of the suns and moons, as well as the fact that the god wasn't just the fragmented-face and that this matter had many secrets.

After hearing that, Xu Qing's heart was in turmoil. The information contained in these things was too astonishing and it matched his experience as well.

He recalled his Golden Crow Refines All Life and the murals in the dragon carriage.

At that time, he felt very strange because according to the murals, the sun had fallen but there was still a sun in the sky.

Now, Xu Qing had an answer.

The youth sitting on the dragon carriage was one of the fallen suns.

"The ancestor said that the runic totem on the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar is one of the present twelve moons in the Wanggu Continent. This moon is located in the extreme west of the Wanggu Continent. Moreover, most races suspect that there are gods sleeping on the suns and moons?"

"Previously, I heard the sound of breathing from the moon in my sea of consciousness… and the words of the soul shadow of the youth in my sea of consciousness…" Xu Qing was silent. In reality, the answer had long appeared in his mind.

"God."

"In that case, the purple moon I plundered with the invasion of anomalous substances is part of god's power?"

Xu Qing mumbled and sensed the small purple moon in his sea of consciousness.

Compared to the red moon's size, this purple moon was not even a tiny fraction of it. However, the power contained in it was still extremely terrifying. Xu Qing's hair stood on their ends just by sensing it.

It felt like he was looking at the fragmented-face of the god with its eyes closed.

He was only intimidated by this power and didn't feel any danger. This was because this purple moon had an extremely close connection with him and he could control it.

However, although he had the qualifications to control it, because his cultivation was too low, it was difficult for him to truly use it for the time being. He could only slightly guide the aura of the purple moon.

Although that was the case, it didn't affect Xu Qing's perception.

"The anomalous substances were born from me, so I am the source for the things they invade?"

Xu Qing could sense it. After confirming his judgment, he couldn't help but look at the night sky.

"In that case, are all beings invaded by this god's fragmented-face under its control?" Xu Qing fell silent. After that, his gaze narrowed as he thought of his captain.

"The captain should have gained something as well. However, from the looks of his stomach exploding, he should have devoured it. It's different from me." Xu Qing took out a jade slip to transmit his judgment to the captain.

"Captain, it might be harmful if you absorb that aura."

"It's fine. I ate too much. If it's really as you said and I'll be controlled, many gods will probably have to fight to confirm the ownership over me."

"Little Qing, you don't have to envy me. You are fought over by female cultivators but I'm different. I am fought over by the gods." The captain laughed.

"Besides, maybe the bizarre entity isn't the only thing sealed in my body. I feel that there might be a god sealed in my body, so do you want me to help you? Give me your share and I'll help you withstand the suffering."

"Thank you, but there's no need, Captain." Xu Qing turned the jade slip off. With his understanding of his eldest senior brother, the other party's words meant that he could resolve it. As for a god being sealed, Xu Qing didn't believe it.

He buried this thought in his mind. After calming down, he continued to analyze the palpitations he felt in the direction of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.

"The Dao Child of the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect fell at 30,000 feet and almost had his body and soul destroyed?"

"In that case, the problem with the Dao Child happened after he reached 30,000 feet." At the thought of this, Xu Qing suddenly had a guess.

"Could it be that the god sleeping on the red moon woke up because of my and the captain's absorption and plundering? After that, it saw Zhang Siyun…"

Xu Qing's eyes widened. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. This also explained why Zhang Siyun almost died.

"However, that's not right either. If the god really woke up, it's impossible for Zhang Siyun, who is a Golden Core cultivator, to be alive."

Xu Qing fell silent and recalled his palpitations earlier.

"Why does the rescued Zhang Siyun make me feel palpitations and danger?"

Xu Qing pondered for a moment and his breathing slowly hastened. A terrifying guess appeared in his mind.

"The fact that the Dao Child was on the verge of death is related to the red moon, and the fact that he didn't die is also related to the red moon…"

Xu Qing's mind shook and his vigilance grew even more intense. He didn't know if his judgment was right or wrong but he had to be more careful in the future. He couldn't make any mistakes.

Just like that, time passed again. Very soon, seven days passed and the Sword Holder qualification battle was about to begin.

Many things happened in these seven days.

For example, the inspection of the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar wasn't over. This caused the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar to be off limits. Xu Qing felt that it was a pity.

This was because the Ghost Emperor Mountain in his sea of consciousness was becoming more and more realistic. Its face was almost 90% similar to Xu Qing's.

As for the rod that appeared on Ghost Emperor Mountain's hands, it also turned from blurry to translucent, much clearer than before.

The previous ranking competition was also concluded.

Xu Qing, Chen Erniu, and Zhang Siyun all reached 30,000 feet and were tied for first place.

Each of them obtained a chance to comprehend a human race's emperor-level cultivation art.

However, they could only do it after the Sword Holder assessment ended.

In addition, the ancestor also sent over the rewards for climbing the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar previously. However, it wasn't easy to tell how much shares belonged to each person. Hence, the ancestor distributed 70% to Xu Qing according to his previous performance and gave the remaining 30% to Chen Erniu.

The captain was very surprised. Xu Qing didn't fuss over it, especially since among these rewards was an inheritance cultivation art.

This cultivation art was called the Golden Killing Art. After using it, one could control the metal qi in the surroundings and turn it into their own weapon. Its killing power was very high.

After Xu Qing cultivated it, he gave it to the captain. The captain also knew that Xu Qing was collecting imperial metal Qi. Hence, he sent the metal Qi he had obtained over and asked for some other Qi.

As for the rest, Xu Qing originally planned to sell them but the captain told him to keep them. They would be of great use when they went to the capital of Fenghai County in the future.

Hence, Xu Qing stored them.

The two of them also communicated whether the Sword Holding Court would come and ask them for the auras of the moon totem.

The captain felt that this was an opportunity to wash themselves clean of this matter. Hence, he took the initiative to mention handing them over. Xu Qing also knew that what the captain said made sense.

However, he couldn't take it out. Even if he did, it wasn't the red moon's aura but the purple moon's.

However, the captain sent over a wisp.

Xu Qing was a little surprised. It was rare for the captain to be so generous.

"Because I discovered something even bigger. Hehe, I'm in the midst of planning. Help me at that time. This time, I'm going to eat to my heart's content."

Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

His iron stick also completely transformed under enough metal Qi and became a spirit artifact. The Diamond Sect's ancestor fused back into it.

The might of the black iron stick increased greatly. Coupled with the red lightning of the Diamond Sect's ancestor's heavenly tribulation, it could kill those below three palaces.

Xu Qing played with it for a while and was very satisfied.

Although the shadow was unwilling, it had no choice. It could only transmit its divine sense fluctuations to Xu Qing many times and keep saying that it was obedient. At the same time, it expressed its extreme fear and desire for the purple moon.

Seeing its pitiful look, Xu Qing allowed it to get closer to the purple moon.

After the shadow carefully got close, it was like a lone wolf worshiping the moon. It actually worshiped the purple moon and began to cultivate.

This scene made Xu Qing feel very strange and deepened his understanding of the purple moon.

"This purple moon can be used as the core for the fifth Heavenly Palace."

Xu Qing mumbled.

He now had three Heavenly Palaces and had already made arrangements for the fourth one. He was going to store the mosasaur in it. That would be an intrinsic Heavenly Palace.

Under normal circumstances, this intrinsic Heavenly Palace would have been the first Heavenly Palace of the Seventh Peak cultivators who comprehended the Forbidden Sea dragonwhale in Qi Condensation realm.

However, Xu Qing's cultivation path was different from others. The two life lanterns transformed into Heavenly Palaces and the Poison Restriction Pill was placed in advance because of the risk of dissipating and withering.

This caused the intrinsic Heavenly Palace to be placed at the back.

As Xu Qing absorbed the four crystal-like golden cores of Li Ziliang, a portion of his fourth Heavenly Palace also materialized. According to Xu Qing's judgment, it wouldn't be long before the fourth Heavenly Palace would be formed.

In these seven days, some Sword Holders came to look for Xu Qing and mentioned that the Sword Holding Court needed the aura of the Divine Realm's totem. They also stated that after handing it over, it could be exchanged for military merits.

When one's military merits reached a certain level, they could increase their rank.

Even if he didn't become a Sword Holder in the future, he could still exchange his military contributions for some cultivation items that belonged to the Sword Holding Court.

Xu Qing had discussed this with the captain before. Hence, he put on a hesitant expression and pondered for a long time before handing over that wisp of aura.

Just like that, when these seven days were over, the Sword Holder qualification battle that all the cultivators of the various sects had been looking forward to for a long time was announced.

Thousands of people participated in this qualification battle but in the end, only ten would be selected from them!

These ten people would obtain the qualifications to undergo the final Sword Holder assessment.

To become true Sword Holders!
