Outside of Time - Chapter 1177

[Chapter 1155: The Road is Far Away]

But unfortunately, he failed until he died a month later.

But now, a different situation has emerged.

Zhong Chi didn’t know whether this incident actually happened in history or not, but was rewritten by later generations, so that he didn’t know the details.

But there was one thing he was sure of.

He is the only study companion of the young master.

Therefore, the young master’s answer at this moment is crucial.

If you nod, history will definitely be changed.

If you refuse, everything will return to its original trend.

This scene made Zhong Chi’s heart churn with thoughts.

“This Li Tianjiao is most likely an outsider like me.”

“It doesn’t matter who it is. The point is that this may be a good opportunity to see how others have leveraged this period of history. This will be a path for me to follow and it will also be convenient for me to refer to in the future!”

Zhong Chi’s mind was racing as he looked at Xu Qing from afar.

Not only was his gaze fixed on Xu Qing, but most of the spectators on the fighting stage also had the same gaze.

On the one hand, there is the battle between the two, each of which is strange and powerful.

On the other hand, it was rare for Li Tianjiao, who had always been arrogant, to bow his head like this.

So everyone is waiting and watching to see what decision the young master will make.

But Xu Qing did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced at Li Tianjiao and narrowed his eyes.

He was thinking.

“If history could be changed so easily, then it would be meaningless.”

“Even though I guess that this period of history is most likely just a mirror image of the real history, but… even if it is a mirror image, it concerns the Immortal Lord, so in theory, it should be extremely difficult to change it!”

“So, what’s the difficulty?”

Xu Qing pondered, looking at Li Tianjiao. The man in front of him, his height, weight, and behavior, were all very suitable for testing whether there would be any resistance before history was changed.

As for Li Tianjiao, being stared at by Xu Qing like that, he suddenly felt anxious and worried.

He did deliberately say before the battle that he was willing to be a companion if he lost.

He naturally knew that this was not in line with history.

But this is related to his constitution.

His constitution is a fog.

It is not fog in the conventional sense, but fog that comes from nothingness, from mystery, and from time.

To be precise, it comes from history.

The mist of history is the origin of his constitution.

Therefore, to develop one’s own constitution is to understand history.

The more comprehensive our understanding, the more we can dispel the fog that shrouds history.

Then, you can take control of the mist that has been cleared away, so that you can go further with your own constitution.

He was very clear that the end point of his journey was to have complete knowledge of true history.

So, in the battle with the young master, it was half true and half intentional, and he just went with the flow and lost to Xu Qing!

The purpose was to have an identity and opportunity to get close to this young master!
In order to ensure success and make his approach seem logical, he deliberately created momentum and attracted a large number of monks.

In this case, it would be reasonable for you to choose to bow your head after losing in front of everyone.

After all, everyone here is a witness.

And his host also values his promises.

This was his only chance to get close to the young master by relying on his identity as a host and following the course of history.

So it is extremely important to him.

“In this period of history, there are two key figures, one is the Aurora Immortal Lord, and the other is this young master. Only by being around them can we fully understand this period of history and the hidden content.”

“Besides, this is about the Immortal Venerable. The traitor he said back then was suppressed and killed. Now it seems that there must be some clues!”

“Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Aurora Palace to suddenly become an unprecedented past time during its opening!”

“This is obviously going to reveal some secrets…it just depends on whether we can find them.”

“So, if you want to know the entire history and gain sufficient knowledge, you need to stay with one person, so that you can see it more comprehensively.”

Li Tianjiao murmured in his heart, looking at Xu Qing, waiting for an answer.

But unfortunately, he did not wait for Xu Qing’s answer, but instead waited for a stunning rainbow whistling from the distant sky.

This long rainbow is like the most gorgeous brushstroke between heaven and earth, cutting through the sky and leaving a mark that will never fade.

With endless majesty and power, it seemed like the most primitive roar of heaven, and also like the deepest sigh in the world.

Suddenly approaching.

All things trembled, and the mountains, rivers and streams in the fairy palace all lost their color.

After the long rainbow dissipated, it transformed into a tall figure and walked onto the fighting stage.

The moment he appeared, all the spectators on the fighting stage stood up and bowed respectfully to him.

“Greetings, Master!”

The visitors were none other than the four disciples of the Aurora Immortal Lord.

This fourth True Lord was extremely famous, and his first half of life was full of legends. He was precocious and good at chess in his childhood. By chance, he was noticed by the Aurora Immortal Lord.

The two played five games of chess, and the Immortal Lord won four and lost one.

He was impressed by his extraordinary ability and accepted him as his disciple.

This True Lord lived up to the cultivation of the Immortal Lord and also displayed extraordinary wisdom and talent in his cultivation.

With his extraordinary qualifications, extremely hard work, keen insight and extraordinary creativity, he was recognized by the Asgard.

At the same time, he has a gentle personality and treats people with a warm and welcoming manner.

Therefore, he was treated kindly by everyone in the Immortal Palace.

They all came to pay their respects at this moment.

Xu Qing also smiled. In the host’s memory, he had a very good impression of this person. The two of them had a close personal relationship, and the other party often treated the host like a real brother and was very doting on him.

So when he saw the other party coming, Xu Qing spoke with a smile.

“Fourth Senior Brother, how come you have time today to come here?”

The Fourth True Lord first smiled at everyone, nodded slightly, then turned to look at Xu Qing with a gentle expression like a brother.

“Junior brother, Master went out to look for betrothal gifts for your matter. Before he left, he asked me to keep an eye on you and not let you continue to cause trouble.”

As he spoke, the Fourth True Lord smiled and shook his head, looking helpless.

“But in my opinion, no matter what trouble you have caused, Senior Brother can help you smooth it out, so my main focus is to prevent people with ulterior motives from approaching with malicious intent.”

“For example… Li Tianjiao.”

As the Fourth True Lord spoke, his tone became cold and his eyes became sharp, like a sword, falling on Li Tianjiao.

Just a glance.

Li Tianjiao’s whole body trembled and he stepped back. He felt that his body and soul were shaking violently at this moment. He even felt that his own consciousness was about to be expelled from his body.

This scene immediately made Li Tianjiao’s expression change.

He truly felt that the Fourth True Lord in front of him clearly had the power to separate himself from himself.

“Junior brother, your study partner was appointed by the master, so it’s not good to have another one.”

The Fourth True Lord withdrew his gaze, his expression became gentle again, and he looked at Xu Qing.

“Especially those with unclear intentions.”

“After all, in another month, Master will be on duty at the Star Ring. During this time, it is inevitable that some cultivators with ulterior motives will try to get close to you.”

“So, Li Tianjiao, you are so brave!”

“Now, go back to the academy immediately. I will punish you by making you stay in seclusion for thirty years as a warning to others!”

The Fourth True Lord spoke calmly.

His gaze and his words put tremendous pressure on Li Tianjiao. He couldn’t help but step back again at this moment. He even felt suffocated. He wanted to say something, but couldn’t.

Hearing this, Xu Qing smiled and nodded, but did not try to stop him forcibly.

On the one hand, this little bit of historical turmoil cannot really change time and space.

On the other hand, Xu Qing’s gains were enough.

The appearance of the Fourth True Lord is intentional and unintentional, and its purpose and significance are clear at a glance.

On the other hand, Li Tianjiao himself was obviously cowardly and had lost his will to fight.

If you force yourself, it will be a bit useless.

So Xu Qing nodded happily.

“What Fourth Senior Brother said makes sense. I was negligent.”

Upon hearing this, the smile on the Fourth True Lord’s face became even gentler. He raised his hand, took out a pot of wine and handed it to Xu Qing.

“Yesterday, I sent someone to Tianxuan City outside the palace to get a pot of Tianlu from your favorite wine shop. There is only one pot of this thing a month. I thought you were punished by your master and it was past the purchase time, so I went to buy it and was about to send it to you.”

Xu Qing was delighted when he heard this. He took it and thanked him with a smile.

The Fourth True Lord also smiled and was about to speak.

But at this moment, Zhong Chi, who was standing by, saw that Li Tianjiao was frightened and lost the opportunity, and he felt unwilling in his heart.

He also wanted to see what the other party’s attempt to manipulate history would result in, and even thought about how to obtain the other party’s constitution.

It would be such a pity to just go into seclusion like this.

So he weighed the matter quickly in his mind and had made a decision at this moment.

“If this Fourth True Lord is not an outsider, it doesn’t matter what I say. On the contrary, if he is an outsider, even if I remain silent, I will eventually have to face him in the future. It is even possible that my identity is no longer a secret to him.”

Thinking of this, Zhong Chi suddenly spoke softly to Xu Qing.

“Young Master, this Li Tianjiao is quite interesting. He was so aggressive before the battle, and said he was willing to study with you for a hundred years if you lose. But now he is silent and looks ashamed. His reputation of honoring his promise is just nonsense.”

“I will spread this matter throughout the academy in no time, so that everyone will know how ridiculous Li Tianjiao is!”

As soon as Zhong Chi spoke, Xu Qing immediately felt the waves of time and space.

The fourth True Lord suddenly turned his head and looked at Zhong Chi with cold eyes.

At the same time, Li Tianjiao, who was shocked, showed a struggle in his eyes when he heard this, and then he seemed to give up. He suddenly stopped, turned to Xu Qing, and knelt down directly.

“Please, young master, save my reputation. I admit defeat. If I leave like this today, I will feel a knot in my heart!”

His words echoed, causing the waves of time and space that no one except Xu Qing could sense to become even stronger at this moment.

The Fourth True Lord’s heart sank, and he was about to speak.

Xu Qing started laughing, looking very nonchalant, and said something casually.

“That makes some sense.”

“But being my study partner is impossible. If you really want to fulfill your promise, go to my Beast Garden and raise spiritual beasts for a hundred years.”

After saying that, Xu Qing looked towards the Fourth True Lord.

“Fourth Brother, what do you think of this?”

The Fourth True Lord looked speechless, then smiled and shook his head.

“Well, I have other things to deal with. This matter… is up to you.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhong Chi seemingly casually, took a step, left the present moment, stepped into nothingness, and gradually disappeared.

Xu Qing had a smile on his face from beginning to end. At this moment, looking at the direction where the Fourth True Lord left, his guesses in his heart had been confirmed for the most part.

“This person must be an outsider!”
