Outside of Time - Chapter 1159
[Chapter 1137: The Great Dao]
The same is true for space and time.
It has become an isolated space and time, like a blind person who cannot see colors.
But in the distance, there is a being who is watching this battle.
Inside the Taoist Immortal Sect, on a fertile field, the Poison King looked down at the open space in front of him.
There used to be two poisonous weeds there. One turned into light and disappeared, and the other one… also withered and turned into ashes.
But obviously, in the eyes of the Poison King, what he saw was not just the appearance. His gaze seemed to penetrate the isolation, seeing time and space, and also seeing the scene in the valley.
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
“You have understood my inheritance, which means you have a cause and effect relationship with me. Now you have killed my disciple. Then… when the inheritance is complete, this cause and effect will be truly established.”
“From now on, your path, guided by this cause and effect, I can borrow it but will not return it.”
“Even if the Immortal Venerable does not allow the deduction, my result comes before the cause.”
…
The Poison King’s voice could not be heard in the valley. Only Li Mengtu’s fighting spirit continued to burn and became stronger and stronger at this moment.
It became a sea of fire, threatening to burn the entire world.
This made his entire body turn into a star that flowed from the earth to the sky, becoming a sharp rainbow that seemed to split the void, shining with the brilliance of life, and moving forward courageously towards the vague outline that he “saw” before his eyes.
The speed was getting faster and faster!
The burning became more intense at this moment, burning not only his body, but also his cultivation and life.
Only the dream remains…it becomes the only thing, the driving force, and the obsession.
Although Li Mengtu’s life could not be called glorious, he always acted uprightly, especially when it came to moral disputes.
Because he respects the Tao.
Therefore, he did not allow his heart of Tao to be tainted by dust, nor did he allow himself to bow his head.
For this reason, he had been practicing hard since he was a child, wanting to go higher, wanting to see the scenery of the sky, wanting to take off the constitution that represents a higher level.
He wanted to prove it to his family, to his master, and to the world…
Although his ancestors’ origin and bloodline are not native to the Fifth Star Ring, his desire to seek the truth is no less.
He is no worse than other stars in the fifth star ring.
He could make the family rise, he could reach the top, he could step into the fairyland he had always dreamed of!
Even though he knew that at this moment, he might be as ridiculous as a moth in the eyes of some people.
But so what.
Death is never scary.
The scary thing is… I can’t smell the Tao.
The measure of life is never its length.
So, even if he rushed into the fire, even if he would inevitably be burned, he still chose to fight to the last moment.
The deprivation of inheritance is related to his life. He knows that the moment Xu Qing appears, his fate is doomed.
In this case… dying on the path would be worthy of the blood and sweat I have shed along the way, worthy of my half-life’s persistence, worthy of the expectations of my people, and worthy of the opponents who have died in the struggle for the path along the way.
Roar away!
Like a blooming flower, blooming in the sky.
But unfortunately…
Dreams are often expressed with sighs in the heart, and when we pick up a pen we usually write about regrets.
His magic, his supernatural powers, all his efforts, all his burning desire, in the end, could not touch the figure in those eyes at all.
Xu Qing stood there, as if standing in the sky, in a different time and space.
No matter how Li Mengtu tried, he couldn’t touch it.
His death curse power can make the sky and the earth change color, the wind and clouds surge, and can make the whole universe surge with terrifying death energy at this moment.
It can transform ghosts and monsters, and turn nothingness into a den of ghosts and the underworld.
Make the sound of wailing echo miserably.
But… at this moment, it became empty.
If you can’t touch your opponent, you won’t be affected by cause and effect.
It’s like in a lonely world, a person’s cry has only the echoing sound.
His thunder power could only roar around him, and the pouring sea of thunder it turned into was still meaningless.
Even if he was ordered to tell the truth and questioned the person in front of him, he would not get any answer at all, as if the person he was asking was no longer in this world.
So Xianhong was also drawn in, and the aurora also fell down. Perhaps what was drawn in was just an appearance after all, and what could fall down was mostly an illusion.
For a monk without constitution, all of this may be considered sharp, but for a monk with constitution, it is just a puppet show of flowers in the mirror and moon in the water.
Therefore, the flowers in the mirror cannot reflect Xu Qing.
Therefore, it is futile to unlock the formation that seals the god and reveal the god’s right hand.
The hand of God that once looked terrifying, rough, purple, and covered with tentacles and eyes, was ultimately just a broken hand, and the divine power contained in it was not godhood.
So no longer ferocious.
The strangeness and whispers also lost their weirdness.
Only bitterness remains.
All the efforts, all the bursts, even if it meant burning one’s life, still couldn’t hurt Xu Qing at all.
He could vaguely ‘see’ it, but couldn’t touch it.
This is the Tao.
Just like the person in the painting, no matter how he jumps, how angry he is, how he attacks, he cannot hit the existence outside the painting.
After all…the road is as vast as the blue sky, and I am the only one who cannot get out.
You can only try again and again, over and over again, keep working hard, and keep breaking out.
I want to break the ‘painting’ in front of me, I want to blast open the invisible in front of me.
In the end…no result, no success.
Finally, leaving the bitterness in his mouth, he returned to the starting point in exhaustion. He looked up in the valley, staring at the vague outline on the sky, and was in a daze.
After a long time… Li Mengtu closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, he swallowed the bitterness, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.
“Excuse me, I just lost my composure.”
“It’s okay.” Xu Qing said calmly.
From the beginning to the end, he did not take any action. At this moment, he deeply understood that the constitution, to a certain extent, can actually be regarded as a qualification.
The qualification to step outside the painting.
“Today’s dispute ends here.” After a brief silence, Li Mengtu said calmly.
“In my life, I have met different opponents in different realms. Every time I win, I will ask the opponent if he has any last wishes, and I will fulfill them.”
“You don’t have to share my wishes, but I do have two last wishes.”
Without caring whether Xu Qing would reply or not, Li Mengtu continued talking on his own.
“One is Taoist Qingyang, the one who just fought with me. His Qingyang lineage has had a feud with my Li family for generations. There was once a time in history when the Li family was nearly wiped out, and it was the Qingyang lineage that did it.”
“So for many years, I have been looking for Qingyang’s remnant. Now I have found him, but unfortunately… he escaped.”
“If possible, please help me kill it.”
As he spoke, Li Mengtu sat down, took out a pot of wine, took a sip, and continued to speak.
“My second last wish is to help me go somewhere.”
“It’s a secret place.”
“Legend has it that there should be twelve Immortal Lords in the Fifth Star Ring, not the eleven as there are today, because when the Fifth Star Ring was first established by the cultivators, the first Immortal Lord chose to betray the sect for some unknown reason.”
“This Immortal Lord is named Aurora, and was once called the Aurora Immortal Lord.”
“It is said that the aurora of the fifth star ring is also related to him. Back then, this immortal master betrayed his way and was killed by the Immortal Lord himself. Then his spirit fell to the earth and turned into an aurora.”
“And the place where his spirit fell is called the Immortal Falls, and it is within our western territory.”
“The spiritual tide rises there from time to time, spewing out secret keys that are scattered in the west. When the number of secret keys accumulates to forty-nine, the tide will rise to its peak.”
“For the cultivators of the entire Fifth Star Ring, it is a blessing and opportunity. According to the judgment made decades ago, it will be opened soon.”
“By then, there will be forty-nine secret keys, each of which can accommodate two people to obtain opportunities.”
“I once wanted to go there to get a chance, but now I can’t do it. I hope you can do it and go further.”
“In this way, I can also count it as your spiritual merit, and my death will have meaning.”
After saying this, Li Mengtu spread out his left hand, and a jade carving of a fish appeared in his palm and was placed in front of him.
“This is the key I got.”
After doing all this, Li Mengtu took a deep breath, looked up at the vague outline of the sky again.
“Daoist friend, I wish you a smooth journey to enlightenment!”
As he spoke, he raised his left hand into a claw and pressed the petals between his eyebrows. His five fingers pierced through his skull, his soul, his life, and the half flower of inheritance that was closely connected to him…
He took it off with one hand!
The moment he took it out, a hole appeared between his eyebrows, blood was dripping, and his life also withered rapidly at this moment.
“Take it!”
With a flick, this half flower of inheritance flew into the sky and floated in front of Xu Qing.
As for Li Mengtu, he was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and his head lowered, feeling death about to submerge him.
In the sky, Xu Qing looked at the half flower of inheritance in front of him. After a moment of silence, he raised his right hand, but did not grab the flower, but placed it on his forehead.
Just tug gently.
Suddenly, the petals on his forehead were wiped away and appeared in the palm of his hand.
With the support of the Eighth Pole Space-Time Constitution, the peeling of the flower of inheritance would not cause any waves to Xu Qing. At this moment, with a wave of his hand, the half flower of inheritance in his palm flew towards the flower sent by Li Mengtu.
The moment they touched each other, they merged together.
The twelve petals are complete, forming a complete inheritance.
Then, flick it lightly.
This flower of inheritance turned into a ray of light and flew straight to the center of Li Mengtu’s eyebrows, instantly blending in.
Li Mengtu’s whole body trembled, and the life that had already dissipated was reversed in an instant. His breath also rose at this moment. His eyes suddenly opened and he looked at Xu Qing in disbelief.
“you……”
“This is of no benefit to me. It is your karma. Since you want to know the meaning of Xian, I will give it to you.”
“As for the person you want to kill, go and kill him yourself.”
Xu Qing spoke calmly, turned around and walked towards the sky.
In the valley, Li Mengtu was silent.
Looking at the direction Xu Qing left, he suddenly raised his hand, pressed his chest, and drew out a strand of life source related to his extremely precious life.
Send it to the sky.
“Xu Qing, this is my life, you can use it at any time!”
In the sky, the source of life flew over, and Xu Qing took it away. Without stopping, he turned his back to Li Mengtu and waved his hand.
Going further and further.
Only Li Mengtu was left in this valley, looking around, as if he was in another world, and muttering to himself.
“This is the grace of the Great Dao.”
…
At the same time, in the Taoist Immortal Sect, the Poison King, who was staring at this scene, suddenly had a gloomy expression on his face.
As the aura spread out, the flowers and plants in the surrounding fields all collapsed silently, turned into ashes, and turned into a storm.
Sweeping in all directions.
In the storm, the Poison King closed his eyes.
After a while, the storm dissipated, and the Poison King, who was standing there, calmed down. Looking at the sky, he squinted his eyes and muttered.
“Is it because I am not greedy, or I just look down on you…”
“He used this method to break the impasse, so that I failed to borrow the Dao successfully. Instead… he borrowed my layout and made it his own Dao!”
“It’s interesting. It’s interesting.”
