Outside of Time - Chapter 1164
[Chapter 1142 Fairy Tale]
Finally it landed on the Welcoming Platform of the Immortal Palace.
Flowing around the practitioners here.
It was a huge black stone platform with moss-covered ground, giving off a sense of antiquity and the passage of time. It seemed as if standing there was like walking into time.
As for the middle, there is a stone tablet with information about the three roads written on it, but it seems that it is too long ago, so the handwriting is blurred.
At this moment, there were dozens of figures on the Yingxiantai.
All cultivators who enter the Immortal Palace from the outside world will appear here at the first opportunity.
Then here, select the route.
When Xu Qing, Li Mengtu and the Earth Spirit Ancestor also appeared, the cultivators here were turning into long rainbows and whistling towards the left.
After getting closer, they seemed to have lost the ability to fly and fell to the ground one after another. They were wary of each other, and they kept a distance between each other and walked forward.
The fog was not thick where they went, but it seemed like a different space. It was much darker than Yingxiantai.
At the same time, there is a drizzle, moistening the earth.
The ground, in particular, became muddy.
But obviously there were many people walking there, and you could see that there was a small path there.
Quiet and dark.
Only the drizzle continued to fall, gradually swallowing up all the monks who walked away from this direction.
Staring at the road, Xu Qing did not move immediately, but retracted his gaze and observed other directions around him.
First there was the stone platform. Xu Qing checked it out and found that it was real.
The mist is the same, with a moist feeling. When it falls on the body, the skin can feel it clearly. When it sticks to the clothes, it can condense into tiny water droplets.
Fairy-like, and real.
Being here, Xu Qing could feel his own cultivation, which was obviously much better than that in the outside world.
In addition, there is the faint sound of music.
The direction was the place for discussing Taoism deep in the Immortal Palace that we had seen from the outside world before.
Xu Qing looked up.
Looking from the Yingxiantai where he was, because he was in this huge fairy palace, it was difficult to see the end. He could only see… thick fog obscuring the nothingness in front.
In the blur, there seemed to be a bridge.
On the bridge, there seemed to be a person walking in the fog.
“That was Xing Huanzi. When he appeared just now, I saw that he was going to this bridge.”
Li Mengtu spoke in a deep voice.
At this moment, there was no one else on the Welcoming Immortal Platform where they were except themselves. All other entrants had already chosen the path to the Immortal Palace.
“I don’t know what you will choose, Brother Xu. If you choose the small road, we can go together.”
After Li Mengtu finished speaking, the Earth Spirit Ancestor immediately looked over expectantly.
Xu Qing was silent, looking at the figure walking further and further away on the bridge in the fog ahead. The words of the earth spirit about the three roads emerged in his mind, and after a while he slowly spoke.
“I want to walk on this bridge.”
The Earth Spirit Ancestor was shocked.
Li Mengtu was not too surprised. He just looked at Xu Qing deeply, clasped his fists and bowed, then walked towards the path on the left.
He also sighed softly in his heart.
It was not Xu Qing who sighed, but himself.
As a star, he naturally wanted to go further, but he understood… that bridge. Even if he inherited the constitution, he was still not sure he could get out alive.
“Throughout the ages, those who have been able to walk that path are rare, and those who have survived… have all realized their own constitution, rather than relying on the inheritance from above.”
Li Mengtu, gradually walked away.
The Earth Spirit Patriarch hesitated to speak, and finally bowed and chose to walk into the small path.
Soon, the two figures disappeared.
Xu Qing was the only one left on the Yingxiantai.
But he did not walk towards the road ahead. Instead, he turned his head, with a strange light flashing in his eyes, and looked to… the right!
On the right, the fog was so thick that it was impossible to penetrate it with his eyes, and he could not see anything inside.
All I could see was rolling fog.
And then… there’s the sound of flowing water coming from the fog.
There is a black river on the right side of the road. Anyone who enters it will die.
Although the words on the Yingxiantai stone tablet have become blurred over the years, the information recorded on it will not disappear with the passage of time. It has become an important clue to the Aurora Palace through word of mouth.
This is how the Earth Spirit Ancestor knew.
“There, there is the traction of the Constitution…”
The moment he entered the Yingxiantai, Xu Qing had already felt his own space-time constitution, forming a space-time resonance with the direction on the right.
It’s like calling.
This resonance, this attraction, this call, gathered in Xu Qing’s heart, giving him a sense of mystery.
There, there is the Tao that has the same origin as oneself.
“The first feeling this immortal land gave me was that it was not in time and space.”
“And then it was turned on, and the feeling was even stronger.”
“This place clearly… contains the same space-time constitution as mine!”
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. If this happened in other places, it would be an extremely dangerous situation, because it is difficult for people of the same origin to coexist.
It often involves the swallowing of the strong and the weak.
But the Aurora Immortal Lord has fallen, which is another matter.
“But his constitution is clearly the Aurora. Could it be that when the time and space constitution goes deep, it will become the Aurora? Or… has this Aurora Immortal Lord changed his path?”
Xu Qing pondered, and combined with his perception that the space-time constitution had no source, he thought that it was most likely that the Aurora Immortal Lord had changed his route.
So after a brief hesitation, Xu Qing’s eyes showed determination.
If one wants to make his own time and space constitution go further, he needs to understand all the inner qualities of this road. To feel it by oneself is one way, and to see the traces of others on this road is also another way.
Both are opportunities.
So the next moment, Xu Qing’s body suddenly shook, and he took a step into the thick fog on the right.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.
Only the fog is always surging.
It became all that Xu Qing saw.
It obscured the senses of the physical body, including the perception of cultivation, and even as Xu Qing moved forward, the sound of the river gradually disappeared.
All I saw was darkness.
I couldn’t tell whether it was fog or not, nor could I feel whether I had already walked into the river.
Everything was just pitch black.
There was no danger coming.
It’s just this darkness, with no beginning and no end.
Time seemed to have no meaning here. An unknown amount of time had passed. Xu Qing remained alert in the darkness and finally reached the end.
At the end, it is still pitch black.
The reason why it is called the end is because there is an invisible barrier in this darkness.
Blocked from moving forward.
Spells and magic cannot penetrate.
The supernatural power is also difficult to break.
The physical body is even more isolated.
At the end, in front of this invisible barrier, Xu Qing tried it out and then remained silent for a while. The next moment, he closed his eyes, and the eighth pole in his body, the space-time state…
Suddenly opened.
Upgraded thinking.
It was as if I had transcended this darkness, and walked from the painting to the outside. With this kind of time-space thinking, I could look at the place where I was…
Here, it turns out to be just a black dot.
But this point is extremely large.
And not just one.
There are countless black dots…
They are arranged next to each other to form a line.
An invisible force of attraction enveloped Xu Qing, making him realize that here he could only move forward or backward, and could not go left or right.
And in Xu Qing’s mind, he found that this line composed of countless black dots had no concept of height.
The same is true for the black spots themselves.
And on both sides of this line, there seems to be no concept of nothingness, as if the supreme principle here only allows this line to exist.
Therefore, if you force yourself to look to both sides, what you see is distortion, and this distortion will affect yourself.
Even though Xu Qing possessed the knowledge of time and space, he could see some differences, such as… countless fragments of time and space.
But if you look at it for a long time, you will start to feel more and more uncomfortable.
Only by perceiving the before and after will everything be normal.
This is an incredibly strange and extremely simple world.
After a while, Xu Qing regained consciousness and opened his eyes in the black spot.
“The mind of the Spacetime Constitution can leave this black spot, but my body cannot.”
Xu Qing pondered.
The physical body can be said to be his biggest weakness when he has the constitution.
Based on this direction, he has some plans.
For example, when you encounter a short battle in normal times, you can forcibly shroud it. Although there will be withering, as long as the battle ends quickly, the impact is acceptable.
But here, it is obviously impossible to complete the exploration in a short time.
So after thinking about it, Xu Qing decided to place his body in the Star Tower and send it to a safe time.
This method actually has its drawbacks. On the one hand, safety is only relative, not absolute.
On the other hand, the time cannot be too long.
Otherwise, it will continue to wither.
After a moment, after doing all this, Xu Qingshikongxian’s thinking was no longer bound by anything, and he gently swayed towards the barrier at the end in front of him.
Travel in an instant.
Reappearing in this strange world, here… following that line, allowing the power of this world to pull it forward endlessly.
He wanted to see where this place ended.
And time really has no meaning here, or to be more precise, time does not exist here.
Space has also become the past.
The only way here is to keep moving forward.
Fortunately, there are many people like Xu Qing here.
On the way, he saw a figure in a similar state to himself.
It was a medicine jar with limbs and a white beard.
It looks strange, like a grotesque statue.
It stood on that line, and occasionally some pills flew out of the medicine jar and landed on the black dots that made up the line, making their color even darker.
Noticing Xu Qing, the medicine jar smiled gently and spoke softly.
“Welcome to the fairy tale.”
After saying this, he pointed into the distance and said nothing more.
Xu Qing stared for a moment, continued walking forward, and then saw the second weird statue.
It was an octopus, and on each of its tentacles there was a face, with a different expression, cursing.
After sensing Xu Qing, all faces showed strange expressions, and gradually, they began to cry.
Xu Qing was silent, looking at the crying octopus. He didn’t understand and could only leave.
On the way, I also saw a finger with a lion’s head.
Call to yourself.
“Run, run…”
There was also a frog that thought it was a fish. It swam around, but when it saw itself, it started to tremble and dared not move.
…
Along the way, Xu Qing encountered ten weird creatures, and each of them reacted differently when they met him.
Finally, he saw the eleventh one.
It was an old woman in black, leaning on a cane. She had a huge face, a small body and limbs, and a ferocious expression. From time to time, she would grab a black spot and throw it into her mouth to swallow.
When it saw Xu Qing, it grinned.
“Good death, good death!”
Xu Qing was silent and left for a while.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but I haven’t seen any other weird things.
Until finally, he saw a mirror.
That’s the end of the line.
Countless small black dots lined up and walked into the mirror.
Disappeared.
Staring at the mirror, Xu Qing seemed to be thinking about something.
“A line formed by countless black dots has turned into this first world with only a front and a back. I think I seem to know something about the time and space constitution of the Aurora Immortal Lord and what it is like.”
“As for those eleven weird statues…”
Combining the number eleven with the identity of the Aurora Immortal Lord, all Xu Qing could think of was the eleven immortal lords currently in the fifth star ring.
“This is most likely the thoughts of the Aurora Immortal Lord before his death!”
“The reason why it’s so weird…”
Xu Qing didn’t understand, but he thought that the Aurora Immortal Lord was killed by the Immortal Lord.
“Is it possible that it is related to the Immortal Lord’s Constitution?”
“So what is the Immortal Lord’s Constitution…”
Xu Qing suddenly remembered what the medicine jar said when he was the first weird person he met.
“fairy tale?”
