Outside of Time - Chapter 1180

[Chapter 1158 The Sea of Flowers]

Perhaps it was the waves coming from the body, or perhaps it was the meaning contained in these two words.

Unconsciously, a ripple called recollection appeared in his consciousness.

The Wanggu Continent and the Wushuang City appeared before his eyes.

The Wushuang City in my memory, my parents in my memory.

The beauty in the memory and the lingering bloody rain.

He thought of his parents.

Perhaps it was because he had traveled through too many mountains and rivers, or had experienced too many things, that when Xu Qing recalled his parents now, he found that only their outlines were left.

But the gentleness emanating from this outline is a mark that cannot be erased by any mountains or rivers, any things, or any experiences.

It was imprinted on his mind forever.

Just like, people are often not sure who the last person they see is at the moment of death.

But when we come into this world, we are surrounded by our parents.

“Mother……”

Xu Qing murmured.

At the same time, the body in which his consciousness resided also instinctively revealed the memories of the host.

In my memory, my mother has become a vague outline, and I can’t remember her clearly…

Just like Xu Qing’s own memories.

At this moment, the two of them resonated with each other.

This resonance is like waves, stirring up the heart, fluctuating time, spreading across the desert, and rising and falling with it.

It became part of the desert.

And the voice of the Aurora Fairy Lord slowly echoed in this desert of time.

“Your mother and I met in my hometown.”

“She is my junior sister, and your grandfather’s seventh disciple.”

“Although there were sun and moon in the sky at that time, it was not what we see today.”

The Aurora Immortal Lord spoke softly as he walked forward.

His words seemed to be spoken to Xu Qing, but also seemed to be self-recollections.

The aura on his body, as the words echoed, became more vicissitudes and more nostalgic.

“My hometown at that time was actually just one of the countless small worlds kept in captivity by the gods within the fifth star ring.”

“To live there, one must worship gods, be enslaved by gods, and live in woven bones.”

“So even the sun and moon above our heads are naturally gods. To be more precise, the light of the sun and moon invades all the small worlds.”

“And their supreme names, which are spread throughout all the small worlds, are Ra-yin and Meng-lu.”

“Those years were painful, but because of your mother’s existence, they were also happy for me.”

The Aurora Immortal Lord spoke in a gentle voice, whispering.

Xu Qing followed behind and listened silently.

He knew that at this moment, all the Aurora Immortal Lord needed was to listen.

“We practiced together, we grew together, and then we met Jiuan.”

The Aurora Immortal Lord shook his head, and the feeling of reminiscence on his body became even stronger.

“Jiu’an’s personality at that time was not much different from what it is now. He likes to be silent, likes to observe, and likes to record.”

“Your mother called him the Great Historian, and he agreed with this title, so for many years afterwards, he called himself the Historian.”

“Silly.”

Aurora chuckled.

“And so, the years passed…”

“You know what happened next from the historical books.”

“At the end of the Divine Spirit Era, under the leadership of your grandfather, the entire small world of the Fifth Star Ring launched a war of rising against the Divine Spirit.”

“That battle was extremely brutal…”

“And you were also born during that period, but your mother and I didn’t want you to see the chaotic world, so we sealed you away.”

“And we agreed that when the war is over and the world becomes beautiful, I will unseal you and let you see a beautiful and peaceful world without gods.”

“Let you live in a beautiful life.”

The sound of the Aurora echoes in the desert of time.

But that voice was slowly filled with sadness as I recalled it.

“And that war that lasted for many, many years finally ended. As monks, we rose up completely and suppressed the gods who were once high and mighty.”

“The sun and moon in the sky also fell, replacing the yin and yang of our Tao.”

“But… there is always a person missing by my side.”

“Your mother has fallen.”

Xu Qing listened silently.

It was clearly someone else’s story, but whether it was the waves in this body or the resonance in his consciousness, Xu Qing could feel the sadness from the host and Aurora.

“And I, for some special reasons, fell into a deep sleep.”

“This sleep lasts for ten thousand years.”

“When I woke up, nothing could be changed. The Constitution of Time and Space also has its limits…”

“Three thousand three hundred and thirty-three years. This is the space-time boundary of all the star rings in this universe.”

“So, when you were sealed, it was your mother and I, and when you were unsealed, it was only me.”

The low voice drifted across the sky and earth, and the footsteps of the aurora came to a halt.

A sea of flowers came into Xu Qing’s eyes.

It was a dreamlike sea with countless colorful orchids blooming in the desert.

Absolutely beautiful.

It is hard to imagine that there is such a sea of orchids in the desert.

At least, he didn’t see it when Xu Qing came to this desert one day in the future.

It seems like this is a secret hidden deep in the desert.

Looking around, you can see that these orchids have all kinds of beautiful shapes and colors. Some look like dancing butterflies, some look like cranes spreading their wings ready to fly, and each one exudes a unique fragrance.

Especially at this moment, with the arrival of Xu Qing and the Aurora Fairy, it seemed that sunlight was shining through the sparse clouds onto the sea of orchids. The golden light was diffuse, and unknowingly, it added a bit of mystery and romance to this sea of flowers.

There is also a breeze blowing, and the sea of flowers swaying.

Like a dream.

Faintly, it seemed as if there was a fairy gazing at the father and son in the sea of flowers.

There was a soft murmur and a gentle smile.

So the Aurora Fairy Lord looked at the sea of flowers and the fairy in his memory and smiled.

Laughing, he walked to the edge of the sea of flowers, squatted there, and took out some seeds from his arms.

At this moment, he is not the future master of the fifth star ring with high power, nor is he the master of all immortals with amazing cultivation. He is just an ordinary person immersed in the memory of his deceased wife.

Here, he planted those seeds in the desert.

They will definitely bloom.

“There is a word ‘Lan’ in your mother’s name, and she also prefers fairy orchids.”

“This kind of flower cannot be contaminated by the breath of the gods, otherwise it will wither quickly… But this kind of flower, in our little world, is clearly filled with foreign substances, but it has never disappeared.”

“Even if it withers, it will bloom again.”

“So we once dreamed that when the war was over and everything became beautiful, we would find a place to plant fairy orchids and make them grow into a sea that would bloom all year round.”

“Every time I come here over the years, I plant some.”

“Gradually, it did become the sea.”

The Aurora Fairy Lord smiled and murmured, gently stroking the place where the seeds were buried with his palm.

Then, he sat aside, looking at the sea of flowers and stopped talking.

But the smile on his face became more gentle.

Xu Qing looked at all this, walked silently to the side of the Aurora Fairy Lord, sat down as well, and watched the sea of flowers with him.

Time passes slowly.

When the sunset appeared on the horizon, the Aurora Fairy Lord spoke softly.

“You have grown up and are going to get married.”

“In the future, when I am not free, you must remember to come here every year and plant orchids for your mother.”

“Let there always be a sea of flowers here.”

Xu Qing felt complicated.

He knew that after a month, not only the Aurora Immortal Lord in front of him would die, but also the host he was inhabiting.

Therefore, this sea of orchids is destined to have no more orchids in the future.

Perhaps this is the reason why he did not see any sea of flowers even though he walked through the desert that time.

This sea of flowers has long since withered over the years.

But he nodded anyway.

Aurora smiled, raised her hand rarely, and touched Xu Qing’s head.

“You have to remember one sentence…”

“Your parents cannot accompany you throughout your life, and your children cannot always be by your side. Only your Taoist partner… that is the only person who can accompany you throughout your life.”

“So, protect her well, don’t be like me…”

“I lost my love.”

Having said that, Aurora stood up and looked at Xu Qing.

“Remember the story about the night I told you when you were a child?”

Xu Qing nodded and spoke softly.

“Don’t go to see you when night falls.”

These words were engraved deeply in the memory of the young master of Aurora.

In his memory, the Aurora Immortal Lord told him this more than once.

This reminded Xu Qing of the reflection under the icy lake…

Looking back at his memory, every time the Aurora Lord appeared, it was at dawn.

Aurora smiled and nodded, looking at the sunset that was about to fade away in the sky.

“It’s getting dark, let’s go back.”

As he spoke, Aurora took a step forward and fell down.

The sky and the earth are blurred.

The next moment, the desert was gone, and the sea of flowers was gone.

Xu Qing’s figure appeared in Shaoji Palace, exactly the same place as the one he left before.

It was as if all the experiences along the way were just an illusion.

As for the Aurora Immortal Lord, his figure was gone.

Only the sky…

When Xu Qing left before, it was the moment of dawn.

And now, it is the moment when night falls.

The night covers the earth.

The bright moon rises into the sky.

…

At this moment, under the fairy palace, in a mysterious cave.

The lights are on.

The figure of the Aurora Immortal Lord is moving forward step by step.

But wherever he passed, the lights behind him went out one by one.

As the night fell outside, his white clothes were slowly invaded by black until they were completely transformed into a black robe.

The gentleness on his face was replaced by ferocity and evil.

His body was trembling slightly, but his steps were still steady.

Finally, step by step, he walked into the depths of the cave.

Step into a closed cell.

The moment he entered, iron chains composed of countless runes appeared out of thin air and wrapped around his entire body, constantly blessing and sealing him.

And at this moment, the light completely disappeared, and everything fell into darkness.
