Outside of Time

Chapter 1108 Darkness Remains

"South Territory Ranking, 1,145th..."

In the sky, under the aurora, Xu Qing's figure whizzed by like a long rainbow.

But his expression was solemn. He was not relieved by killing the middle-aged monk. Instead, he was more alert.

Because after opening the Quasi-Xiandu Order and integrating it into his body, he truly entered the hunting trial of the Xiandu.

And he deeply felt the danger and the crisis that would come at any time.

Everything is due to the increase in the sensing range between tokens.

This Quasi-Xiandu Order is very special. If it is not integrated, it will not have the ability to perceive. Even if there are other Quasi-Xiandu Orders around him, his own divine thoughts cannot detect them at all.

There is only one way to detect other Quasi-Xiandu Orders, that is to integrate them into the token.

Use the power of his own token to sense other Quasi-Xiandu Orders.

To a certain extent, this Quasi-Xiandu Order is both a qualification and a specific sensing tool.

Before killing the middle-aged cultivator, after Xu Qing integrated his Quasi-Xiandu Order, he sensed that the range of the token he could detect was 100,000 miles.

Within 100,000 miles, he would be the first to detect any other Quasi-Xiandu Orders.

He originally thought that other people were the same.

But... after killing the middle-aged cultivator who also held the Quasi-Xiandu Order, Xu Qing could feel that not only his ranking had improved, but even the Quasi-Xiandu Order seemed to have changed.

It seemed that he had changed from the first level to the second level.

The most direct manifestation was that the sensing range of other Quasi-Xiandu Orders had increased tenfold.

It reached a range of one million miles.

This incident was the source of Xu Qing's solemnity.

"I only got one more, but the specific sensing range of the Quasi-Xiandu Order has increased so much."

"It can be concluded that if more Quasi-Xiandu Orders are absorbed, the sensing range will increase again."

"Then the others..."

Xu Qing's pupils shrank slightly. This result was not very good for him.

This means that the more you kill, the more tokens you get, and the larger your perception range.

So naturally, there will be advantages and disadvantages in the perception range.

The strong will become stronger, and the weak will become weaker.

It is conceivable that there will inevitably be a situation where the enemy with more tokens can detect Xu Qing from a long distance, while there is no trace of the enemy within Xu Qing's range.

This is extremely fatal in hunting.

Because having more tokens means that the opponent's ranking in the South Region is higher, and the cultivation is naturally stronger.

And as time goes by, as more strong people appear, the perception range will also reach an extremely terrifying level.

There is no escape or avoidance.

"No wonder I only killed one, and my ranking has increased so much."

"I think that after the second stage is opened, killings like what I just did will break out in the entire South Region."

"This is the second stage of the Xiandu Trial Hunting..."

"It really deserves the word hunting."

Xu Qing murmured.

Through the increase in the sensing range of the Quasi-Xiandu Order, Xu Qing clearly and deeply felt the cruelty and fierceness of the hunting between the Quasi-Xiandu Orders.

There is also a basis for the judgment of Xiandu raising Gu.

Obviously, Xiandu throws out the quota, what they want is not the flowers in the greenhouse, what they want is the wolf king, the real genius who has fought out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Therefore, although the difference in the sensing range is a bit unfair, it is fair from another perspective.

The initial system is fair.

As for how to take the next road, it depends on everyone's ability.

Life and death, impermanence.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, licked his lips, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.

He suddenly felt that this was also very interesting.

At least it made him feel a huge pressure.

This place is not Wanggu Continent. Here he has no master to save him, no empress to help him, and no senior brother to assist him.

Even the mud fox is weakly sleeping in this fifth star ring that repels gods.

"Everything depends on yourself."

"You have to face the consequences of any decision alone."

Xu Qing's vigilance reached the extreme in his heart, then he narrowed his eyes, put away all his thoughts, and moved forward quickly.

At the same time, he began to sort out his gains from the previous battle.

The authority of the Five Elements is one of them.

"My authority is actually not just the Five Elements, but also space and time, but the authority of these two still requires some sharpening and exploration."

"Then I erased the authority and the Dao marks transformed by the Six Thieves of Immortal Art."

"So to be precise, if all of them are authority, then my authority is nine."

"And my next practice, on the one hand, will enhance the authority of the Five Elements, and on the other hand, will explore time and space more, so as to try to deduce my eighth extreme."

Xu Qing pondered for a while.

As for other gains from this battle, such as the blessing of the token, this is the second.

And the third harvest... is a storage ring.

The mark on it had dissipated with the death of its original owner, so after Xu Qing took it out, he scanned it with his mind and successfully explored the storage ring.

It must be said that those who can reach the realm of domination in this fifth star ring have rich reserves.

Of course, Xu Qing also roughly guessed the reason.

The guardian of the spiritual mine has been guarding there for many years, so basically all the items are with him.

As for the second person killed by Xu Qing...

Those who dare to integrate into the Quasi-Xiandu Order are naturally prepared for the bloody storm in the future. Such people are either extremely confident or ready to fight.

It is hard to say about the former, but the latter will definitely carry their precious things with them.

This storage ring is like this.

There are a lot of spiritual stones and fairy jades in it.

But there is only one treasure, which is a compass, and it is in tatters. It is obviously severely damaged and is still being repaired.

Despite this, Xu Qing also gained something.

That is the elixir.

The focus of this middle-aged cultivator is to prepare elixirs.

So there are a lot of elixirs.

But obviously... Xu Qing's previous move was to suppress with authority and block the opponent with space, and the battle speed was very fast.

So even if the elixir is taken out, it cannot reverse everything in a short time.

After checking and distinguishing these pills, Xu Qing put away the ring and roared in the sky at full speed.

Just like that, time passed.

Soon five vortex days passed.

Perhaps it was because this place was a remote place in the southern region, or perhaps Xu Qing was vigilant to avoid all the dangers he sensed, so he did not meet anyone else in these five days.

This slightly eased the sense of crisis that he had been hanging on.

Finally, before the aurora in the sky formed a new vortex, in the short night, Xu Qing found a barren mountain, opened up a cave in it, and sat cross-legged in it.

Outside, it was night.

Inside the cave, it was also pitch black.

Sitting in the black, there was silence all around.

Xu Qing gradually merged into the darkness, concealed his breath, and practiced silently.

Feel his own way and explore his own path.

Time flowed in the night, and the aurora vortexes in the outside world appeared one after another.

Seven more vortex days passed.

In the dark cave, Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes.

Silence remained, darkness remained the same.

"It seems... I'm back to my childhood."

Looking around, Xu Qing hummed in his heart.

And this feeling of walking alone in a dangerous forest in the vast world is actually not unfamiliar to Xu Qing.

He spent every day of his childhood like this.

From the experience after leaving Wushuang City until he really worshipped Qi Ye as his master, he was actually licking blood on the blade, like an assassin, and didn't like to appear in the eyes.

Even when walking, he would choose to move forward in the dark.

Because darkness can protect himself, it can make him feel that he has integrated into it and become a part of the darkness, so that he can hide.

Just like now.

It was the appearance of Team Lei that year that gave him a long-lost sense of family affection.

It was the appearance of the eldest brother that brought a ray of sunshine to his life.

It was Qi Ye's acceptance and protection that made him feel the protection of his elders.

It was Ling'er who made his heart relax.

It was Zixuan who made him nervous, not sure if it was heartbeat.

It was the old master of the Sword Holding Palace in Fenghai County who made him understand the Sword Holder.

It was the Empress who made him see that the gods also had humanity.

It was the Sword Holding Emperor who made him realize that a person could live a lifetime and be remembered like this.

These were all the process of his growth, enriching his experience, filling his life, becoming an inseparable part of himself, and shaping him as he is today.

And now, after gathering all his experiences, he came to this unfamiliar fifth star ring, alone again, and faced the crisis from all directions again.

"This is also my experience."

Xu Qing instinctively touched the place where the iron stick was placed on his body.

He touched nothing.

As if sensing the fluctuation of his emotions, Xiaoying slightly exuded a sense of existence, and even the God Vine drilled a thin branch from Xu Qing's body and gently swept across his cheek.

The God Vine, in the process of walking in the original sea, and the broken tower were severely broken, and now it has not recovered.

Sensing their existence, Xu Qing smiled, and then was about to close his eyes and continue to practice.

But at this moment, his eyes suddenly opened and he turned his head to look south.

His expression was also alert for a moment.

Within the perception range of his quasi-immortal token, a star representing the token suddenly appeared in the direction he was looking at.

This person seemed to be passing by, but when he entered the perception range of Xu Qing's token, he changed direction and approached Xu Qing rapidly.

"This person has the same token perception range as me!"

Xu Qing's eyes flashed with cold light.

Countless thoughts immediately arose in his mind.

"I can't run away now. Once I move, the other party will immediately determine that I have the same token sensing range as him."

"In that case, for me, it's a gamble."

"Betting on whether the other party will continue to pursue. If not, it's fine, but once they do, a fight is inevitable."

"So... too passive!"

"So pretend not to know, and when the other party arrives, arrange the surroundings and make this place a battlefield suitable for me."

"That's the best choice!"

Thinking of this, Xu Qing made a decisive decision in his heart. He raised his hand and waved it. The 49th Formation Ban from Ling Feng, the guardian of the spirit mine, was taken out by Xu Qing.

He was still exploring this thing, and he also figured out some of it. Now it was just right to use it for arrangement.

In addition, the small shadow under him also spread to the surroundings in Xu Qing's mind.

Then, Xu Qing seized the time and started many arrangements.

While the power of the earth was being enriched here, the vegetation was also moved here.

During this time, he also took out a stick of incense and placed it in front of him, ready to be lit at any time.

Finally, after making all the preparations, Xu Qing waved his hand to take out the glass treasure tree, facing himself, and after turning it on, it exuded its own breath.

Soon, the glass treasure tree shook and transformed into a figure that looked exactly like Xu Qing, even the breath was the same.

"Cross your knees here."

Xu Qing said calmly.

The figure nodded and immediately crossed his knees.

Xu Qing sank his body and merged into the earth. He did not pull too far away from the glass figure, because if he did, he would be aware that the token was not here.

And the distance was not far, so the breath naturally overlapped.

After doing everything, Xu Qing's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he waited silently.
