Outside of Time

Chapter 1122 The sky is vast and the earth is vast

South of the center of the Western Region, 3.97 billion miles away, there is a mountain named Moshi.

There is a valley in the mountain, and there is a pool in the valley. The water in the pool is green and unfathomable.

Sometimes there are evil spirits wandering around, which look like smoke and disperse when touched.

The four walls are covered with jagged rocks, intertwined canines, towering ancient trees, and branches and leaves that block the sun.

There is a stone platform beside the pool. There is an ancient seal engraved on the platform, which reads: "A place full of evil cannot enter unless it is good."

On weekdays, few people enter this place. Even if they pass by, they usually roar in the sky outside the mountain and do not intrude.

Only those who need the assistance of evil spirits during practice will enter this mountain for half an hour when the aurora is at its brightest every day.

"It is rumored that this place was the place where a powerful evil monk buried his sword before his death in ancient times. His sword was named Moshi, and it became a mountain here. The sword contained evil intentions and turned into a pool of falling evil."

At this moment, outside Moshi Mountain, there was a young man in black robe, looking at the black mountain in front of him, groaning softly in his heart.

This young man is Xu Qing who left Black Cloud City.

After sending Yunmen Qianfan to Black Cloud City, Xu Qing decided to wander around in the Western Region. The most important place to visit was the jade slip given by Yunmen Qianfan, which described all kinds of strange things like the desert of time. land.

Luoxie Pond was the closest to him, so it was the first stop.

After staring outside the mountain for a long time, Xu Qing stepped into Moshi Mountain when the aurora was at its strongest.

Stepping over rocks, passing shrubs, and walking into the valley, I saw a pool of water, a stone platform, and the writings on it.

I also saw so-called evil spirits.

Stare for a long time.

During this period, evil spirits came, transforming into demons and monsters, emitting fierce roars, choosing people to eat, and pounced on them one after another. But the moment they touched Xu Qing, they turned into smoke and filled the air in all directions.

"This place does not have the ability to instantly kill monks, but it can pollute the soul, consume flesh and blood, and if it stays for a long time, the soul will be scattered."

"And it's also related to the time of entry. I think when the aurora outside dims, the evil flames here will skyrocket."

Xu Qing sensed his surroundings, his eyes swept in all directions, and finally landed on the pool.

His eyes flashed, and ripples appeared in the pool under his gaze. Through the ripples, he seemed to see for a moment a stone coffin deep in the pool.

"This coffin cannot be moved."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. The fact that it has been placed here so far shows that this coffin is definitely not ordinary, and there is an inexplicable danger in this place under his induction.

"It's not the place where I need the insight."

Xu Qing pondered, and when half an hour passed, he stepped back and was about to leave.

But just when his body was about to exit the valley, a dark wind blew from the pool, causing all the vegetation in the valley to rustle.

These sounds seemed ordinary. If a mortal were here, they would only hear the sound of wind and leaves, but within Xu Qing's perception, it was clearly a strange murmur.

"The thin grass is empty in the forest, and the cold rain is holding back the wind."

"A skinny little lonely soul, just accompanying someone to take care of themselves."

"The lonely spring platform calls for you all over the place tonight."

"Hazy vision, a ray of light, revealing the peach blossom face..."

This voice was cold and cold, echoing in this silent valley, as if there was a lonely soul calling someone in the underworld at night.

At the same time, the pool rippled, and there was a woman's head, half of her face exposed in the pool.

Pale complexion, black hair submerged in the water, a pair of equally white eyes, staring at Xu Qing.

Just for a moment, the surrounding area began to freeze. The ground, grass, trees, and rock walls were all frozen. The entire valley was distorted as it spread rapidly.

Then, the figure in the pool of water disappeared and appeared on the pool of water as if teleporting.

All in white.

Immediately afterwards, the distortion started again, and it appeared outside the pool.

He was about to continue, but at this moment, a huge pair of scissors appeared above Xu Qing's head with a click.

Cut an invisible thread directly.

As the silk thread was disconnected, the woman's strange movement was also terminated.

She stood there, a hundred feet away from Xu Qing, staring blankly.

Xu Qing looked calm from beginning to end, and spoke calmly at this moment.

"I'm not the person you're looking for. If you continue to pester me, I won't mind making you unable to wait any longer."

After saying that, Xu Qing slowly backed away until he left the scope of the valley, and the surrounding temperature gradually returned.

There is nothing unusual about the valley.

Xu Qing did not hesitate and moved out of Moshi Mountain. Standing outside the mountain, he looked at the mountain.

Vaguely, he seemed to be able to sense that in the valley of this mountain, the strange woman had disappeared at this moment, only the murmur from before was still faintly echoing.

"The legend is false."

"This is not a place where swords are buried, but a seal. The seal is a god."

"And under this seal, in this world of forbidden gods, he still polluted a mountain. The true strength of this god back then was at least the peak of the divine platform."

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, turned and left.

Half a month later.

South of the center of the Western Region, 1.53 billion miles away, there is a plain named Tianfeng.

There are caves in the earth in the eastern part of the plain, with entrances thousands of miles away.

Going down inside the cave, it becomes narrower and narrower, eventually becoming a long and narrow passage with unfathomable depth.

There is an inexplicable wind in the passage. The wind is so powerful that it seems like a fairy who controls the wind lives here.

And in the middle of the descent, you can see that the cave walls are carved with strange totems.

"Legend has it that these totems are the spells left by the immortal who controls the wind. They record how to guide and control the power of the wind."

"There are often rare and exotic animals in the cave, they shuttle through the wind, as if it were real."

Outside the Tianfeng Cave, Xu Qing, who had traveled for half a month to get here, was standing there, looking down, and the description in the Yunmen Qianfan bamboo slips appeared in his mind.

His mind spread out, and after sensing for a moment, his eyes showed a strange light.

"Here, it is a wonderful place, it contains the Dao traces of the power of wind, and it is an open place for perception. There are hundreds of monks below, meditating on their own..."

"The further down you go, the fewer people are meditating, and the stronger the wind is, and the denser the totem marks are."

Xu Qing had encountered the power of wind, and had used his own wood Dao to simulate it to a certain extent.

So he shook his body and walked down the Tianfeng Cave in one step.

As he sank all the way down, he could see many monks sitting cross-legged on the way, but he didn't pay attention to them, and those monks didn't look at him, and the two sides didn't disturb each other.

Ten days later, Xu Qing left.

In the following months, the sky was vast, the earth was vast, and the star rings were vast. His figure appeared in the Huokong Mountain Range and on the main road cliff.

The Huokong Mountain Range is located west of the central part of the Western Region. On it, red fire burns the sky and stretches for 90 million miles.

The mountains are continuous and the peaks are overlapping. There are many igneous rocks on the mountains, which are as red as gold and blazing all year round.

Sometimes, fire phoenixes hover, spewing fire and mist, and the sound shakes the four fields.

There are many hot springs in the mountains, and the water vapor is steaming, like clouds and fog.

It is said that there is a fairy palace called Huokong in the Huokong Mountain Range. It is the palace of the Huokong Fairy Lord among the eleven fairy lords of the fifth star ring.

Those who have the opportunity can find the fairy palace here, and then ascend to heaven in one step and become the disciple of the Huokong Fairy Lord.

It's just that from ancient times to the present, the legend is just a legend, and no one has this opportunity.

Xu Qing lived in the Fire Sky Mountains for half a month. He walked through all the places and never found the Immortal Palace. However, in this mountain filled with flames, his understanding of the five elements of fire was obviously improved a lot.

But with it came questions.

"Where does the fire here come from..."

There was no answer.

Even if he went deep into the mountains to explore, he still had no harvest. This fire seemed to be born and grew on this mountain.

The word "grow" may not be applicable, but it felt like this to Xu Qing.

So he simply sat cross-legged and tried to understand.

After an unknown period of time, it seemed as if a sun-like palace rose in his mind and resonated with him a little.

But the next moment, his eyes were blurred, and an ethereal voice echoed in his heart.

"Your cause and effect are not in me."

With the appearance of the voice, his body was unconsciously sent to the outside of the Fire Sky Mountains by a strange force.

There, Xu Qing was silent for a long time, without asking any more questions. He bowed, turned around and left, heading for the main cliff.

The main cliff is also located west of the center of the Western Region. The scope is vague. Xu Qing searched for a while before finding it.

This cliff is like a broken giant blade, standing in a Gobi desert,

alone and abrupt.

The cliff is steep, as if it was cut by a knife and chopped by an axe, towering into the clouds. Standing on it, the clouds are below you.

And there are ancient characters engraved on the cliff, saying: "The main road is through the sky and the earth."

In addition, there is a strange flower called "main road flower" growing on the cliff.

This flower is white, and the petals contain golden veins, which seems to symbolize the supreme way between heaven and earth, and its medicinal properties are the same...

It can't be eaten, it can only be smelled.

Like smelling the Tao.

The flower blooms once every hundred years, and when it blooms, the fragrance is overwhelming, and the fragrance of the flower spreads for tens of millions of miles. There will be practitioners coming to the cliff to seek enlightenment, in order to break through the bottleneck of practice.

It was unfortunate that Xu Qing came when it was not the flowering season, and it would take more than 40 years before the next flowering.

So there were not many monks on the main cliff.

But here, Xu Qing felt that his thoughts seemed to be blessed invisibly, and he had more ideas.

So he chose to stay here for a while after wandering for half a year.

On the one hand, he summed up his enlightenment along the way, and on the other hand, he calmed down and studied the soil that contained the energy of space.

By doing so, he tried to form the glue he had seen.

During this period, he took out the divination jade slip that Yunmen Qianfan sent before leaving.

This jade slip not only contained Qianfan's divination power, but also contained a... secret key.

It was a rune that Xu Qing could not understand. It was ancient, filled with mystery, and seemed to have its own life, but it was dim and illusory, as if it had not yet reached the opportunity to shine.

Staring at this secret key, Xu Qing was thoughtful.

The task he received at the beginning was to escort the core of the Yunmen family to the designated place, and the information he knew was that some of these people carried the secret key.

Then he learned from the Earth Spirit Clan that this was actually a gamble.

As for the truth, Xu Qing did not delve into it, but he was sure of one thing.

"When Yunmen Qianfan gave me this jade slip, I checked it, and there was no secret key inside."

"This secret key was condensed in the jade slip during this period of time."

Xu Qing pondered and put away the jade slip. No matter what the secret key was or where it opened, it was not his focus at the moment.

He planned to practice on this main cliff for a period of time, and then set off to the Digui Pool, Yunni Basin and Xianyun Mountains. The last one was said to be the source of the aurora.

But many times, plans often cannot keep up with changes.

The second stage of the Xiandu Hunting has reached a critical point at this moment!

This node is also the moment that countless monks who know the inside story have been waiting for and dreaming of!

On this day, the aurora in the sky disappeared.

On this day, four stars became the brightest stars in the sky in the entire fifth star ring.
