Outside of Time

Chapter 1102: The Sea is Vast and the Sky is Clear

The wind was filled with the sound of people talking and laughing.

The black boat was also whistling between heaven and earth.

It was rapidly approaching the spiritual mine on the ground.

From a distance, the spiritual mine looked like a huge deep pit, covering a thousand miles.

A layer of shining black light covered the deep pit, sealing the place.

As for the surroundings of the spiritual mine, it was all wilderness and sparsely populated.

As the black flying boat approached, a handsome young man among the eight or nine monks in the boat coughed lightly.

He was obviously the leader of the people in the boat in terms of identity and status, so everyone looked at him immediately.

After gathering all the eyes, the young man spoke lightly.

"Relax for a while. You have worked hard on this mission. I didn't expect that the remnants would hide in the mortal world, but we still found traces of them. This is considered to have successfully completed the family's mission."

"It's a bit regrettable. In order to find out their traces, we had to destroy several mortal cities. This matter can be small or big..."

The young man sighed.

The cultivators around him heard this and spoke up one by one.

"Brother Haishan is kind-hearted."

"Brother, those innocent mortal deaths are ultimately the responsibility of those evil spirits. Killing is not our intention. Even if it is the family, we will understand this matter."

"That's right. Finding the evil spirits is the long-standing decree of Xiandu. We can prove that we are carrying out the mission, not our responsibility."

The young man nodded and expressed his regret. He glanced at a beautiful woman beside him and smiled slightly.

"Let's not talk about this. Among the 35 spiritual mines in the family, this place is the most peaceful. It's my first time here, but when I come here, I'm in the territory of Junior Sister Ling."

The others around him also nodded with a smile and spoke.

"That's right, Senior Ling Feng who guards this spiritual mine is the family's worshiper, and he is also the ancestor of Junior Sister Ling's lineage. When we meet Senior Ling Feng later, I hope Junior Sister will say a few good words and let him give us some pointers."

"Although he is a worshiper from another family, with Senior Ling Feng's cultivation, a little guidance will benefit us a lot."

Amid the laughter and chatter, the woman who was looked at by everyone smiled slightly.

"Brother Haishan, you are too kind. I am just relying on the blessing of the ancestor. How can I compare with you?"

"The ancestor is a worshiper and guards this place. It is also the family you belong to that gave you the opportunity."

"But since Brother Haishan has spoken, I will definitely ask the ancestor to give you more places to enter the small world to absorb spiritual energy when I see him later."

"I hope you can relax here."

The woman spoke softly. Although her words were humble, she was quite happy with the words of these family cultivators.

Just like that, while they were talking and laughing, the boat they were on floated outside the spiritual mine.

As everyone flew out one by one, the woman surnamed Ling bowed to the young man named Haishan, and then walked out first, transmitting the message to the ancestor with a jade slip.

The others looked relaxed, looking forward to the next rest and waiting for the opening of the spiritual mine forbidden formation.

But as time passed, the forbidden formation of the spiritual mine still existed, with no signs of being opened, and the woman surnamed Ling also frowned slightly.

She also did not respond to the old ancestor's voice transmission.

"Strange..."

The woman surnamed Ling thought for a while and looked back at the people around her.

"The old ancestor should be practicing. Brother Haishan, you are the direct descendant of the family and should have the right to open the forbidden formation of the spiritual mine. How about you open it?"

The young man who was the leader of the crowd looked at the forbidden formation in front of him after hearing the words.

The light of the forbidden formation blocked the details of the investigation.

He thought for a while and shook his head.

"Although I have the authority, this place is guarded by Senior Ling after all. It is not in accordance with etiquette to enter rashly."

"Since Senior Ling is practicing, then we will wait for a while."

The others also agreed after hearing the words.

The woman surnamed Ling nodded, took out the jade slip, continued to transmit the voice, and even tried to transmit the voice to the old ancestor's servants, but there was no response at all.

This was the first time she encountered such a situation. Gradually, she couldn't help but feel a little panic in her heart, worried about accidents. But when she thought of the ancestor's cultivation and personality, she felt that the possibility of any accidents was very small.

And these people didn't notice that at this moment, across the formation, a cold gaze was sweeping from the inside.

Passing over them.

"Three fourth-level Guixu, four second-level Yunshen, one third-level Yunshen, and the strongest one is the fourth-level Yunshen."

In the spirit mine, Xu Qing, who was absorbing the spiritual energy here, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the outside world, and murmured.

If he wanted to kill these people, it would be easy.

However, if it was not necessary, Xu Qing didn't want to kill them indiscriminately. After all, killing too many people would eventually cause some subsequent troubles.

If they didn't kill these people, they might report the abnormality here, but this abnormality was just the closure of the spirit mine. Because they didn't know the details, even if their family sent people to explore, it would not be immediate, and it would probably take time.

But if these people were killed, then due to the bloodline and other magic, their families might find out before the spiritual mine.

In this way, before the other party showed any signs of suicide, Xu Qing did not choose to take action, but continued to absorb.

The spiritual energy here is now very thin. Xu Qing estimated that it would take about an hour to absorb all of it.

Although absorbing spiritual energy can help improve cultivation, Xu Qing's focus is to use the spiritual energy here to bless his own Seven Extremes.

Especially space and time.

In Xu Qing's judgment, these two poles have not been developed enough.

So his focus is to try to comprehend the vortex he saw when he was in the original sea during the process of absorbing and blessing spiritual energy.

He has already done this in the bubble world, and now he continues to comprehend with the help of spiritual energy absorption.

During this period, he will also absorb Liaoxuan Holy Liquid.

To make his comprehension smoother.

In this way, time passes.

But many times, Xu Qing does not want to cause trouble, but the wind will come by itself.

Half an hour later, outside the formation, the young man named Haishan gradually began to doubt and spoke to the woman named Ling beside him.

"Junior Sister Ling, even if Senior Ling is practicing, he should have servants around him. Have you contacted the servants?"

The woman named Ling felt more uneasy than before and nodded.

"I contacted them, but... there was no response either."

The others saw this and their expressions changed. They instinctively looked at the young man named Haishan.

Haishan narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

"Since Senior Lingfeng is practicing, we can't continue to disturb him. Let's leave."

As he spoke, he shook his body and stepped onto the black flying boat.

The others hesitated, but they all flew away one by one. However, the woman named Ling felt even more uneasy and wanted to speak, but she didn't dare to speak after seeing Haishan's serious expression.

In this way, everyone boarded the flying boat and flew away quickly.

When it reached a certain range, the flying boat stopped. The young man named Haishan on it narrowed his eyes, looked back at the spiritual mine in the distance, and murmured in his heart.

"There is no news from the ancestor of the Ling family and his servants. Either he is really practicing or doing other things, or he is out. If he is out, he will not be unable to reply, so he may be unable to distract himself for some reason.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, something went wrong."

"But the seal of the forbidden formation remains intact, with no signs of breaking, which means that even if there is an accident, it has not yet spread to the outside."

"And we were so close just now, and we stayed for half an hour, but we were not affected, and there was no obstruction when we left..."

"All this..."

After thinking, Haishan suddenly spoke to the woman named Ling beside him.

"Sister Ling, does your ancestor have any enemies? When was the last time you contacted?"

The woman named Ling responded quickly after hearing this.

"The ancestor is prudent and has basically dealt with all his enemies. He has been guarding this place for many years and has hardly gone out."

"The last time we contacted was a few days ago. We had just completed the task and I contacted the ancestor to come back."

Haishan was thoughtful and thought to himself that from this point of view, the probability of an accident was not high, and even if something really happened, it was in the initial stage. Although it was a trouble that could not distract Senior Ling, it must be at the level of the master.

But... this also represents credit!

"If I just report the abnormality here, then if everything is normal here, it is my own analysis that is wrong, and this matter will definitely cause dissatisfaction with me in the clan."

"So..."

After Haishan pondered, he thought to himself that I just took a rough look from a distance, it should be fine.

Thinking of this, he stood on the boat and suddenly took out a jade slip, squeezed it hard, and with the help of his direct lineage's authority, locked the spiritual mine array in the distance, his eyes flashed with blood, and looked at it fiercely.

At this glance, with the authority locked, in his eyes, the blurred array immediately became clearer.

After seeing the scene inside through the formation, his face suddenly changed.

He saw the ruins all over the ground and a pair of eyes as cold as death!

Just a glance, he was shocked, spurted blood, and his cultivation roared.

"Go!"

Without any hesitation, Haishan was deeply shocked and frantically inspired the boat to go far away. At the same time, he wanted to take out the family jade slip to report for help.

Others, who didn't know the details, saw Haishan's expression and changed drastically.

But... before Haishan took out the jade slip, a cold voice echoed in the world.

"You shouldn't look at this."

As the voice came out, in the eyes of Haishan and others, the sky was replaced by a big hand, the surrounding space became a grid, and the flow of time seemed to be stretched.

In the end, it was pitch black.

And the big hand pinched it fiercely.

The body and soul were destroyed, and the black magic boat was also turned into ashes.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

After a while, the spiritual mine's formation began to waver, and Xu Qing, who had finished absorbing spiritual energy, emerged from it and stepped out.

He looked at the sky and the earth.

"The fifth star ring..."

Xu Qing murmured.

His body shook and he disappeared in an instant.
