Outside of Time - Chapter 1181

[Chapter 1159: Lao Liu’s Methods]

Walking inside, Xu Qing’s thoughts couldn’t help but emerge from his experiences with the Aurora Immortal Lord.

On the way there, Aurora’s identity was the master of the fairy palace.

In front of Jiu’an Cave, Aurora’s identity is a father.

In the desert of time and space, Aurora is a lonely person who has lost his lover.

Until the night fell, after returning to the Fairy Palace, he seemed to have become the Fairy Lord again.

Before this, for Xu Qing, the Aurora Immortal Lord was just a symbol.

Although the little man who came out of the second world claimed to be the remnant of the Aurora Fairy Lord, whether it is true or not remains to be verified.

Xu Qing never completely believed it from beginning to end.

Therefore, the four words “Aurora Immortal Lord” are just four words.

But after the different scenes and different identities that appeared along the way were intertwined together, the Aurora Immortal Lord that appeared in Xu Qing’s mind had unknowingly gained flesh and blood and color.

“He obviously had a foreknowledge of what was going to happen in a month…”

Xu Qing murmured in his heart.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the entrustment of the orphan in front of the Jiu’an Cave, and the instructions in the desert of time and space.

However, as this realization arose in Xu Qing’s mind, greater doubts also spread.

“The Aurora Immortal Lord himself possesses the knowledge of time and space, and has gone very deep into it, so it is not surprising that he knows about the future.”

“But, a month later, what happened that caused the Immortal Venerable to take action?”

“Is this really the apostasy recorded in history?”

“Also, why can’t Hei Ye go to see him? Is it related to the hideous figure in black clothes under the icy lake?”

Xu Qing pondered.

“Besides, since he had made all the preparations and entrusted his son to me, why did the young master I was living with still die after a month?”

“And everyone in this entire palace will die together.”

“Immortal Lord, why do you want to destroy all the existences in this Immortal Palace…”

“And after it was destroyed, why did it still preserve this place for so many years…”

Too many doubts flashed through Xu Qing’s mind.

There was no answer in the end.

“In one month, everything will be visible!”

Xu Qing looked up at the moon in the night sky, walked into the main hall of Shaoji, and sat down cross-legged.

He no longer thought about the Aurora Immortal Lord, but instead deduced in his mind how to disturb the time and space in this fourth world.

In the eyes of others, all they see in this space and time are people and scenery.

But in the perception of Xu Qing, who has the consciousness of time and space, it is completely different.

In his perception, this space and time seemed to be solidified, like a pool of stagnant water, or frozen.

It’s calm, without any fluctuations, and it’s hard to create ripples, let alone waves.

It is impossible to shake it directly with Xu Qing’s time and space constitution.

“So, I need more triggers to form stones, one after another, and smash them into this stagnant water together…”

Xu Qing murmured in his heart.

…

Time passes.

In the dark night, the sounds of music and sweet laughter came from the Hundred Flowers Palace.

The melodious sound inside blends into the night and drifts away.

Even Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged in the main hall of Shaoji, could still hear it faintly.

Especially the laughter of the fox beauty in it.

Obviously, whether Xu Qing was there or not, the fox beauty was very happy.

Until dawn.

The sun rises and the sunlight sets.

The sound had just faded away when a new sound came from outside the hall.

“Welcome back to the palace, young master!”

Along with the voice came the figure of Zhong Chi, his study companion.

He took a few quick steps, stepped into the hall, and bowed to Xu Qing. Many speculations arose in his mind, because he had not seen the young master the whole day yesterday.

The entire Shaoji Palace was searched.

This made him curious, and he wondered where the person in front of him had gone yesterday.

Although he knew the history of this period, he only knew the general idea and could not understand it in detail. Naturally, it was impossible for him to know every detail of what happened every day.

“You worshipped too late. You returned last night.”

Xu Qing raised his head, glanced at Zhong Chi, and spoke lightly.

Zhong Chi heard this and asked carefully.

“Young Master, what happened yesterday?”

Xu Qing looked normal. He did not try to explain to Zhong Chi. Instead, he stood up and spoke casually.

“Come with me to the Dharma Pavilion.”

As he spoke, Xu Qing walked out of the main hall.

Now that he had come to this period of history, Xu Qing naturally had to go to the Immortal Palace’s Dharma Transmission Pavilion to take a look at the magic techniques of this era.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Chi hurriedly followed behind.

Just like that, following the rising sun, in this early morning, Xu Qing’s figure walked through the fairy palace.

Whenever any cultivator met him on the way, although they did not think very highly of this young master, they naturally had to pay him a visit because of his noble status.

Along the way, Zhong Chi, who was following behind, seemed to want to say something but stopped himself several times.

So when the Dharma Pavilion came into view, Xu Qing spoke calmly.

“Zhong Chi, your recent words and actions are somewhat different from before.”

When Zhong Chi heard this, he became alert instantly, but he put on a silly smile on the surface.

“Young Master is wise. As expected, if I have something on my mind, I can’t hide it. Once I hide it, my words and actions will be seen through by the Young Master at a glance.”

“What’s the matter?” Xu Qing asked calmly.

Zhong Chi spoke quickly.

“It’s that Li Tianjiao!”

“Young Master, I’m not the one complaining. It’s just that Li Tianjiao is a little shameful.”

“Didn’t you ask him to go to the Beast Garden the other day? But not only did he not go, he even hid himself, and the school couldn’t find him.”

Xu Qing’s expression did not change when he heard this. He just turned his head and glanced at Zhong Chi.

“State the conclusion.”

This look from him made Zhong Chi’s heart tremble. He had actually completed the investigation, but did not say it immediately because he was not sure of the young master’s attitude towards the matter, and he also wanted to see how the young master would react.

When Xu Qing glanced at him at this moment, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, so he did not dare to hide it.

“I heard that after he returned to the academy that day, he had a conflict with a teacher in the academy.”

“Then I was punished by the master and was forced to stay in seclusion for three months.”

Zhong Chi said in a low voice.

The reason why he told Xu Qing all this was out of his selfishness.

He realized that Li Tianjiao was most likely an outsider like himself. Although he did not know his specific identity, the other party’s purpose was to try to change history.

This is consistent with his purpose.

So fundamentally, he hopes that the other party will succeed. Only in this way can he learn from and observe.

And Li Tianjiao did achieve part of it. His history was that he went into seclusion after being defeated in the war, but before that he became the caretaker of the young master’s Garden of All Beasts.

But obviously, someone took action to set everything right in another way.

The Li Tianjiao in history was in seclusion during this period of time, and the same is true for the Li Tianjiao in this period of time.

Different causes, same results.

As for who was the one who made the move, the first person Zhong Chi thought of was the Fourth True Lord!
However, the other party’s status was too high and the advantage he had was too great.

If I can make Li Tianjiao fail this time, I can make him fail next time as well.

Therefore, he wanted to use the young master of Aurora to try to shake things up.

If it was really the Young Master Aurora, he would not be able to understand these thoughts due to the lack of important knowledge. But for Xu Qing, the comprehensive knowledge made him understand it clearly.

“Li Mengtu wants to borrow my strength.”

“Although the matter of Li Tianjiao has not completely returned to history, at least in this period of history, it has been put back on the right track.”

“The one who possessed the Fourth Senior Brother does have some skills.”

Xu Qing seemed to be thinking about something.

In fact, he and the other party had previously engaged in a mysterious game of chess with each other over the matter of Li Tianjiao.

Each has its own wins and losses.

“But I can’t interfere in this matter anymore. I have already made my move on Li Tianjiao, so there is no need to start a rebellion right away.”

“After all, relatively speaking, hiding my identity is the key to this destiny.”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and walked towards the Dharma Teaching Pavilion.

He quickly stepped inside, looking through the techniques inside while pondering them in his mind.

“My identity is very important. From what I have observed, whether it is Zhong Chi, Li Tianjiao, or the daughter of Jiu’an and the fourth senior brother, they all seem to have no doubts about this identity.”

“It’s as if, in their perception, my identity is impossible to be possessed by someone else.”

“Besides that, the only people who can come to this fourth level world, besides quasi-immortals, are those who possess the Constitution or the Constitution treasure.”

“Then apart from the known ones, there should be no less than four or five or even more outsiders hiding among the people in this fairy palace.”

“Among them, there should be some who are similar to Li Tianjiao, using the ripples of time and space to achieve their own goals.”

“They are my stones!”

Xu Qing put down the jade slip in his hand, walked to the other end, picked up a new jade slip, and continued to check it while his thoughts were flowing.

“So, this can actually be seen as a game.”

“Fourth Brother, you have to suppress the violators, and I… have to secretly encourage and protect them. At the same time, these stones themselves have to protect themselves.”

“Li Tianjiao’s failure was due to his impatience. Of course, this was also determined by his status. If he hadn’t done that that day, he would have lost his chance.”

“However, these people are hiding too deeply, so it is difficult for me to find them, and I am unable to motivate or protect them.”

“Then how did you find it, Fourth Senior Brother?”

Xu Qing pondered.

Time passed quickly as he read and pondered.

When the setting sun was fading away in the sky, Xu Qing left the Chuanfa Pavilion and returned to Shaoji Palace. An idea came to his mind.

“I don’t need to find all the stones. I just need to make them more cautious, even alert, and raise a sense of crisis.”

“As for Fourth Senior Brother…”

“I am in the dark, and he is in the light, but this light is not complete. In this case, let him be in the light, and make it more complete. If he can fall into self-verification, it will be even more perfect!”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, closed his eyes in the main hall of Shaoji, and sent a divine thought in his heart towards the one in Baihua Palace.

In the Hundred Flowers Palace, the fox beauty who was lying there lazily and chatting with the beautiful girls around her raised her eyebrows and groaned in her heart.

“Bad man, now he’s grown strong and actually ordered me to do things… But, this domineering look makes people like him more.”

The fox beauty licked her lips and chuckled.

…

A few days later, in the originally peaceful Aurora Palace, two rumors spread like wildfire in a short period of time.

The first rumor is that there are outsiders who have taken over the bodies of the cultivators in the Immortal Palace and are hiding in the palace, intending to commit evil, and there are quite a few of them!

The second rumor was directed at the Fourth True Lord.

Its content is…
