Outside of Time - Chapter 1141 P 2

[Beyond Time Chapter 1116: The Vast World of Jianghu (2/3)]

After that, a glimmer appeared in his eyes.

On this bamboo scroll, geography is written in words, including different landforms, mountains, lakes, and even rivers and basins, and the names and stories are marked, as well as the approximate location.

“Luoxie Pond, Tianfeng Cave, Huokong Mountain Range, Xianyun Plain, Zhudao Cliff, Digui Pool, Yunni Basin…”

Looking at these names, Xu Qing became very interested.

“Even if only a small part of it is a truly special place like Tianshui Lake and this Time Desert, then it will be of great help to me.”

Thinking of this, Xu Qing put away the bamboo scroll.

In his opinion, the value of this bamboo scroll is no less than that of the soil containing the energy of space.

Then Xu Qing looked at Yunmen Qianfan again.

“Are you in a hurry to go to Black Cloud City?”

“No hurry, no hurry, not at all.”

Seeing Xu Qing’s satisfaction, Yunmen Qianfan was even more excited. As long as she could help Xu Qing, she felt that it was a manifestation of her own value.

Moreover, the instructions she had received along the way made her feel that it would be better if the journey was longer.

So when she heard Xu Qing’s question, she quickly responded happily.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, took a step forward on the boat, disappeared in an instant, and reappeared on the desert dunes.

Sitting cross-legged there, Xu Qing’s eyes were bright.

“Here, time is chaotic, or in other words, there are countless times flowing to different degrees, but they are blending with each other, making everything normal again.”

While muttering, Xu Qing’s mind spread out and covered all directions.

Yunmen Qianfan was already accustomed to Xu Qing’s constant perception. When she saw Xu Qing sitting cross-legged, she immediately put away the wooden boat, landed beside Xu Qing, and began to get busy.

Soon, she built a shed around Xu Qing and arranged a mat woven with spiritual grass. Finally, she sat aside, resting her chin, her beautiful big eyes, always looking at Xu Qing.

Although Xu Qing is now middle-aged and somewhat vicissitudes of life, he has a special charm in her eyes.

“When the senior was young, he must have been handsome and elegant.”

“And there are many stories about him…” “

He often looks at the distant world. Is he reminiscing? Reminiscing about his family and his old friends?”

“And that song, the rivers and lakes are leisurely, the sassy and unparalleled, but also with sadness. When I played it, I vaguely saw the back of a woman…”

“Is that… the senior’s Taoist partner?”

As Fang Xin murmured, a hot wind blew, blowing Xu Qing’s long hair and moving his clothes.

This wind also fell on Yunmen Qianfan, making his dress stick to his body, outlining the undulating curves, very graceful.

The picture is very beautiful.

It seems that the work of nature in the dark also looked sideways and began to write on the desert, forming scenes of sand paintings as the desert flows.

In this way, time passed.

Five days passed.

Xu Qing’s divine consciousness has already covered an endless range, covering the desert while also penetrating into every grain of sand.

Five days ago, when he first saw the desert, Xu Qing felt the chaos of time here.

As for the specific reason, he was not sure at the time, but he just felt that his sundial had a glitch in its rotation, speeding up, slowing down, and then stopping.

And his own extreme time path was more turbulent than usual.

Until now, after five days of observation and research, combined with his own understanding of time, he had a vague guess.

“The endless sand here seems to be countless, but in fact… it gives me the feeling of being one.”

“This kind of unity does not describe the desert as a whole, but… the unity of individuals!”

Xu Qing pondered in his heart.

“To be precise, although the surface scratches and sizes of each grain of sand here are slightly different, in fact, they may all be the same at the beginning.”

“No matter the size, no matter the scratches, including all the details, they are the same.

There are so many of them, it’s as if they were copied.”

This is an epiphany he came to after five days of observation, research and exploration.

Xu Qing raised his hand, scooped up a handful of sand, and stared at it.

“It’s as if… there was only a grain of sand here before.”

“It was the wind, or the influence of some external object, that caused the grain of sand to move. Every movement caused the time acting on it to change.”

“Every change is equivalent to one more timeline and one more grain of sand.”

“As time goes by, under the caress of wind or mysterious power, there are more and more timelines and more and more grains of sand here.”

“Each grain of sand started out at the same point, but soon had its own timeline. Different frictions and trajectories appeared in their respective timelines.”

“Eventually, this piece of desert was formed.”

“This is why there are so many times here, and they are intertwined with each other.”

Xu Qing raised his head and looked to the end of the desert.

“This place is magical, or rather… this place itself is a treasure related to time.”

“But few people can take it away, because the way to take it away is to adjust the time of every grain of sand here, so that this desert will return from chaos, and eventually the grains of sand will decrease one by one until they become the original one.”

“I can’t do it now.”

“But… here, I can see the deeper manifestation of the power of time.”

Xu Qing’s eyes flashed.

“Time branch!”
