Outside of Time

The captain was confused.

Xu Qing frowned.

They had tried it before when they retreated. The nine phoenix palaces in the flesh-and-blood city wall area were full of strange power. They would reappear when they were close, and they would decay when they were far away.

The changes there are determined by who comes.

But if the distance is too close, unpredictable things will happen, causing people to fall into a distorted state, and time will pass unknowingly.

"Little Ah Qing, do you remember that you just said you were familiar with that place? Is it very strong?"

The captain suddenly spoke.

"Very strong." Xu Qing nodded.

"In this case, do you think it is possible? We have explored this place too many times in the past three days."

"Although I also feel familiar, it's very slight. So is it possible that every time I explore, you go in? So your sense of familiarity is stronger than mine?"

The captain looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and spoke softly.

"If this is the case, and we did not receive the command sword message just now and noticed the passage of time, then according to the subsequent development, I will ask you, senior brother, to help me. I may use the protection of the severed hand to integrate myself into it and let you remove the severed hand. Throw your hand in."

"In this case, there is a high probability that I can pass the restriction, and within the flesh and blood city wall, I can walk out of the severed hand and explore the Phoenix Bird Palace."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he looked at the severed hand, trying to find evidence from it, but this severed hand had the ability to recover, and looking at it at the moment, it didn't seem to have changed much.

However, some traces of newly grown flesh and blood can still be seen in subtle details. This discovery made the two of them stare.

The captain's eyes showed a faint light.

"So, you have indeed explored it many times, but you obviously can't remember what you saw inside... Junior Brother, please think about it carefully and see if you can recall it."

Xu Qing pondered and recalled carefully, but there was no flaw in the memory in his mind. Everything was connected perfectly and no flaw could be found.

Xu Qing frowned. This was indeed similar to the Ding 132 he had experienced before, but there were differences.

Ding 132 has two levels of phenomena, one external and one internal.

Due to the influence of the power of luck, there is a relative balance there, which makes what normal people see are only external appearances.

However, the inner truth exists all the time and is right in front of you. It's just that most people can't see it, but its influence is still there. This is also the reason why the previous guards died misfortune.

And once someone wakes up due to various accidents and sees the truth under the external appearance, his cognition will be changed when he leaves and he will forget everything.

As for the reason why it keeps happening again and again, Xu Qing wakes up inside every day, and every day he loses his cognitive memory after waking up.

This gave rise to the feeling of repetition.

As for the Phoenix Bird Palace in front of us, it doesn't seem to be divided into two layers: inside and outside. It is just one layer, forming a cycle of its own.

Xu Qing analyzed it from the bottom of his heart, and then the poison-forbidden elixir in his body moved silently, and the Ghost Emperor Mountain erupted. The power of heaven filled the air at the same time, and the power of Ding Yi San Er spread.

In an instant, his status rose. Amidst the turmoil around him, the captain who saw this scene for the first time also had a strange look in his eyes and was a little bit speechless.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to the captain. At this moment, with his status constantly improving, he looked towards the Phoenix Palace.

Everything is business as usual.

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, the spirit's body moved, and he tried hard to make the golden threads inside flow. A golden light shone in his eyes, and he looked again.

This time, there's something different.

The Fengniao Hall was revealed, but it was blurry, shrouded in a purple light, and that light seemed to be illusory, giving people a feeling of being between true and false, and as if the passage of time had existed.

Everything of this kind is just feelings, which are difficult to explain clearly.

After a while, Xu Qing calmed down, sighed, looked at the captain aside, and shook his head.

"Can not remember."

The captain sighed.

"But senior brother, I have a way to get the purple vial inside with a high probability." Xu Qing suddenly said.

The captain's eyes narrowed.

Xu Qing raised his right hand, and as his body vibrated, the stone lion and its head were taken out at the same time. After falling to the ground, his head learned to be smart this time, and he quickly put on a flattering look and spoke loudly.

"Greetings to the great and supreme guardian whom I respect!"

The stone lion had no head and could not speak, but its tail swayed rapidly as it crawled on the ground.

The captain had seen the head, but not the stone lion. After seeing it now, he showed interest and looked at it a few times.

"Junior brother, these are your friends, right? I've seen that head before, and I thought it was a bit interesting at the time. And this lion looks very good. I smell the scent of a cloud beast on it. Besides... you These two friends are very strange. Not only are they blessed with luck, but they are also cursed. These two powers seem to be in balance with each other. "

"Being able to achieve a balance with luck means that the curse most likely comes from the gods... Junior brother, have you ever heard of a word called "tiger's talisman"? That talisman means a ghost. It is said that people who are bitten to death by tigers will turn into a kind of evil spirit. Surrounded by special ghosts, you two friends are nothing but ghosts!"

The captain smiled half-heartedly.

When the stone lion heard these words, he suddenly trembled, his head widened and his eyes widened. He quickly glanced at the captain, feeling startled and suspicious. This was the second time they encountered someone who could detect abnormalities at a glance.

The first one is Xu Qing, and the second one is the person in front of me.

"He calls Demon Head Xu his junior brother. They are from the same sect. Sure enough, they have a good relationship with the Demon Head. They are both evildoers!" His head was palpitating. He had been summoned by Xu Qing before and was immediately trampled to pieces. After he recovered, he was taken back instantly.

At that time, my attention was focused on that terrifying existence, so I didn't take a closer look at this second person. At this moment, I couldn't help but activate my ability to take a closer look.

After seeing this, his head suddenly screamed, and his eyes suddenly exploded.

"Mouths, countless mouths, iron chains, iron chains from Jiuyou... seals, endless seals, my God, what am I seeing? Divine skeletons, countless divine skeletons!"

The head exploded with a bang.

Xu Qing looked at the captain, who looked innocent.

The stone lion trembled even more.

After a while, his head came back to life, and he trembled and quickly lowered his head. He was extremely well-behaved and full of flattery. He didn't dare to look at it, and the ultimate wailing echoed in his heart.

It remembered the third person it had seen when it was summoned by Xu Qing.

Although Xu Qing quickly took it away at that time, it trembled for a long time inside Ding Yi San Er. He really felt that the third person was too scary, so scary that it did not dare to activate its own abilities.

"These are three great horrors!"

Xu Qing was also curious. Even though he knew that the captain had many secrets, his head's reaction was too much. However, he also knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so he looked at his head coldly and spoke calmly.

"You two, go get me the purple vial there. If you behave well, I will reduce your sentences as appropriate."

"Great Lord Guard, it actually doesn't matter whether the sentence is commuted or not, as long as you can..." Head spoke quickly, but before he could finish his words.

The stone lion on the side had already raised its two front paws, stepped hard on the ground, turned around and charged.

Seeing this, the head suddenly became anxious and rolled away quickly. It flew up and landed on the neck of the stone lion, and went straight to the decaying land covered by the flesh and blood wall.

Xu Qing observed closely, and the captain also narrowed his eyes.

"Can they do it?"

"They are all prisoners of Ding 132. They should be able to immerse themselves in Ding 132 for a long time." After Xu Qing explained the principle of Ding 132, the captain's eyes were filled with excitement.

"There is such a magical place in the Prison Department!"

After saying this, the captain saw a hint of gloom on Xu Qing's expression, knowing that he remembered the life of the Prison Department, the Palace Master, and the peace he once had, so he sighed in his heart and patted Xu Qing's shoulder. , then pointed to the distance.

"It's really good!"

Xu Qing looked up. At this moment, the stone lions were approaching the flesh-and-blood city wall with their heads on their heads as they ran quickly. They jumped up. It seemed that because of their special existence, the restraining power here had no effect on them. .

Xu Qing saw with his own eyes the stone lion leaping quickly into the flesh and blood city wall, circling continuously inside, as if looking for it, but it was clear that the purple vial was not far away from them, but it could not be found.

Xu Qing frowned.

But soon things got better. It seemed to be the brain's idea. They separated from each other, and then crashed into each other hard. They shattered and fell to the ground.

Soon, they resurrected each other, flew forward energetically for a certain distance, and then crashed to death again. Repeatedly, they gradually approached the purple vial.

"These two things are quite clever. They use the moment of death and resurrection to use the luck and curse in the body to blend together to explore the surroundings." The captain laughed.

Xu Qing nodded.

After they witnessed the death of the stone lion and the head more than ten times, they finally came to the purple vial. Without any hesitation, the head opened its mouth to hold the vial, and the stone lion and the stone lion returned quickly.

As they left, the half-statues that existed in the decayed area began to blur until they turned into fly ash and dissipated.

Then the surrounding walls of flesh and blood swarmed up and completely covered the place.

During this process, the stone lion and the head also ran back wildly until they returned to Xu Qing. The head let go of the purple vial hanging in his mouth and was about to continue to please, but Xu Qing put them away with a wave of his right hand. .

The captain knelt down and picked up the purple vial. The moment he touched it, his body trembled visibly. When Xu Qing paid close attention, the captain recovered, his expression was full of disbelief, and he took a breath.

"This is...the bottle of time!"

After saying that, the captain instinctively looked around quickly, then grabbed Xu Qing and left quickly.

Xu Qing's heart was full of questions, but he could see the captain's solemnity, so he held back and did not speak until he and the captain completely left the place. After reaching a relatively safe place, the two squatted in the severed hand. The captain was breathing heavily. There was a strong light in his eyes.

"Senior Brother, what is the Vase of Time?" Xu Qing asked.

The captain hissed, checked the surroundings again, made sure there was no problem, and arranged some seals. After covering the place, he was extremely excited and spoke immediately.

“Little Ah Qing, you’ve made a lot of money this time!!”

"The Time Vase, I have seen descriptions in some ancient books. It was something that only the royal family could use during the time of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou. The quantity is very small. Any one that comes out will attract the attention of the royal family. Those If a non-royal person hides it secretly, he will be exterminated, which is a serious crime. "

"But it is said that when Ancient Emperor Xuanyou left this world with his royal family and some human races, he took all the time bottles with him. How could there be one here!"

Seeing Xu Qing's confusion, the captain spoke in a low voice.

"The origin of the Time Vase is unpredictable. Not many people know its true origin throughout the ages, but the ancient emperors who have unified the ancient world will collect it.

"Legend, and it's just a legend, the Time Vase contains the huge secret of the formation of the ancient world. Some people say that it contains the method for the ancient emperor to break through his own shackles."

"Some people even say that the Time Vase contains a supreme inheritance."

"You can say anything, but the number of time bottles is one for each era, and one will be born on its own."

"In short, it is mysterious and is regarded as something exclusive to the royal family."

"However, for countless years, no one seems to have really cracked the secret inside. However, this bottle can intercept time on its own, and it also functions as a container, making items incorruptible."

"Junior brother, I know why that area was mysterious before. It was because for a period of time, it was intercepted by the time bottle and continued to spread out, repeating the cycle over and over again."

Xu Qing was surprised when he heard about this object for the first time. He instinctively thought of the wish box and the sound-catching bottle, so he asked about it.

"The wish box and the sound-catching bottle? In fact, those two things are imitations of the time bottle. One imitates its immortal effect, and the other imitates the power of intercepting time!"

After the captain finished explaining, he took the purple vial in his hand and shook it.

"There's something inside. From the sound, it's liquid!"

The captain's eyes brightened even more, and he smelled it with a look of intoxication on his face.

"It's very fragrant. I don't know what it is, but it feels edible. Junior brother, how about we eat it?"

The captain looked at Xu Qing, licked his lips, and handed the bottle to Xu Qing.

"Smell it."

Xu Qing took it, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. A strange fragrance penetrated his nose and turned into breath and flowed throughout his body. It did not cause any reaction from the god's body, but the four life lamps in his consciousness trembled violently.

It reveals endless longing, as if this object is extraordinary for a life lamp.

The Twelfth Heavenly Palace, which has not yet completed its concretization, is also shaking. Obviously, the contents of the Time Vase are also of great help to the concretization of the Heavenly Palace.

Xu Qing was moved.

But there was still some hesitation in his heart. After all, the liquid inside was unknown and had existed for too many years. However, Xu Qing finally chose to believe in the captain as to whether it could be eaten.

"Let's eat!" Xu Qing nodded heavily.

The captain chuckled, took the bottle, shook it, and poured it into his mouth. Suddenly, a drop of transparent but extremely viscous liquid slid down the mouth of the bottle and into his mouth.

There was another drop behind. Before it could fall, the captain placed the vial in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing opened his mouth, and the next moment, a second drop of viscous liquid fell into his mouth.

The next moment they closed their eyes and began to digest.

Xu Qing felt as if his body was about to explode at this moment. An earth-shattering breath exploded from his mouth, poured into his body along his throat, spread throughout his body, and gathered in the sea of ​​consciousness.

The heavenly palace transformed by the four life lamps of his sea of ​​consciousness trembled violently, just like the previous reaction after the Poison Forbidden Pill sensed the divine essence, exuding the ultimate desire.

Obviously, they have all dried up in these long years, and it is extremely difficult to find this kind of nourishment. After all, although they are in Xu Qing's body and are blessing him, they are not formed by Xu Qing's blood.

After each absorbed it at this moment, the life fire burning on it became brighter than ever before. The fire light was overwhelming and reflected in all directions. Even the fog of the sea of ​​consciousness became clear under this light.

As for the four life lamps, in the surge of firelight, their auras also increased a lot. Their shapes vaguely changed. It seemed that each of them had a shadow of a little person sitting cross-legged and meditating, forming in the wick.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qing's mind stirred up a huge wave. He knew what that villain was.

That's Nascent Soul!

Although it is still virtual and has not really formed yet, it seems that the speed of transformation is not far away.

This is indeed the case.

As the ancient liquid in the drop of time bottle continued to erupt, Xu Qing's four life lamps became more and more intense, as if they had been dripped with lamp oil.

The little man inside the wick became clearer and clearer, exactly the same as Xu Qing's face.

More than ten breaths later, the black umbrella life lamp that was the first to follow Xu Qing suddenly burst out with light. After a powerful force surged inside, the villain inside it turned from illusion into reality.

In the flames, it became extremely clear, and its eyes suddenly opened, touching Xu Qing's consciousness across the life fire, as if looking at each other.

Xu Qing's mind was shaken, and the aura of his cultivation fluctuated, exuding a power that surpassed before.

At the same time, a canopy also transformed above Xu Qing's head.

Different from before, the canopy that appeared this time had a more obvious color and looked more real. Under its reflection, Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, really looked like a young ancient emperor.

Full of majesty.

But it was not over yet. Soon his colorful wind chanting lantern was echoing with melodious whistling sounds, and the little man inside the wick opened his eyes.

The second canopy appears!

Then the Nascent Soul was formed in the Nether Spirit Blood Wing Lamp, and then the Nascent Soul was formed again in the Broken Immortal Devouring Magic Lamp!

Xu Qing is sitting cross-legged and meditating under four canopies, with colorful lights flowing all over his body, with a black umbrella as the top, surrounded by seven colors, with blood wings behind him, and his breath is killing evil.

Coupled with his handsome appearance, this scene, if exposed to the outside world, would definitely shock countless people. If they did not know his identity, they would probably think that he was the descendant of the human race prince.

The four Nascent Souls appeared one after another, causing Xu Qing's cultivation level to rise again and again. At this moment, the fluctuations were shocking, and the terrifying power circulated in his body, exploding on his five Nascent Souls, including the Golden Crow Nascent Soul.

At the same time, a feeling of impending disaster also emerged in Xu Qing's heart, but it was still a little bit worse. He needed to have a stronger feeling before he could attract it.

And there was still a trace of the liquid power in the time bottle left. Under the guidance of Xu Qing, it headed straight for the long-awaited Twelfth Heavenly Palace.

This heavenly palace is now more than half concretized. During its absorption, the concretization is accelerating, and soon it reaches 80%, then 90%, and finally reaches 99%!

The twelfth heavenly palace shines with brilliant light and keeps shaking.

All it takes is one suppressing object to be completely complete!

Xu Qing opened his eyes and saw the captain in front of him looking at his canopy with a somewhat regretful expression.

The captain's aura was obviously much higher than before. Like Xu Qing, he was emitting the fluctuations of the Nascent Soul, but the specific power of the Soul was difficult to see.

"Little Aqing, the Nascent Soul born from the Life Lamp in your body is close to attracting the power of the First Tribulation!"

Noticing that Xu Qing was awake, the captain took a deep breath with some regret on his face.

"The life lantern is a treasure, but unfortunately, we don't have the bloodline of the ancient emperor, so we can't produce the life lantern ourselves. After all, the foreign life lantern cannot be fully integrated with our own blood, so we can't be like those legendary ancient emperors. As the master's descendant, he turned the lamp of life into an oven for the realm of spiritual treasures, placed it in five secret treasures, and burned them continuously, refining everything into the foundation of his own secret treasure."

"This is also the reason why those major cultivators who have reached the Lingzang level don't have much desire for the life lamp. It's not that the life lamp is not good, but that we can't use it later, alas."

Xu Qing was silent. Although he didn't know that the life lamp could be turned into a furnace in the spiritual treasure trove, he also realized that as his cultivation level increased, the blessing of the life lamp was about to reach its end.

"Is there no way to completely integrate it with your own blood?" Xu Qing asked.

"This is the way that everyone has wanted to find throughout the ages, but unfortunately, it cannot be done. Only when one's own cultivation reaches the realm of the ancient emperor, can everything be reversed, and the bloodline can become a life lamp, so that the bloodline of future generations can also have this blessing. "

The captain shook his head.

Xu Qing nodded, not having too many regrets. After all, in the realm of Nascent Soul, the life lamp can still be blessed, and Xu Qing felt that the life lamp should be the embodiment of the strongest state in the realm of Yuanying.

The captain patted Xu Qing's shoulder.

"It's nothing. Let me think of a way. Maybe we can do it with some help. Let's not talk about it for now. Master probably didn't expect us to have the creation of this time bottle before, so he left in a hurry and didn't go into details. So, I’ll tell you about Nascent Soul first.”

"The realm of Nascent Soul is called differently by different tribes. Some are called Tianming Realm, some are called Dao Infant Realm, and some are called Tianming Nascent Soul Realm. Each name is actually decided and changed according to the previous ancient emperor. "

"After the ancient emperor Xuanyou unified, he gave it a fixed name, called Tianming Daoying. In fact, they all mean the same thing. The word Dao was originally added to unify the cognition of all clans."

"As for destiny, it is a kind of disaster."

As the captain spoke, Xu Qing combined his previous understanding of the Destiny Dao Infant Realm and gradually a comprehensive understanding emerged in his mind.

In fact, in the human race's understanding of the realm of the Destiny Dao Infant, at least one Dao Infant must have experienced the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation before it can be called the Destiny Dao Infant.

It can be regarded as truly stepping into this realm without experiencing the heavenly tribulation. No matter how many Tao infants there are, they are all false infants in theory.

This was the case in the era of the Ancient Emperor Xuanyou, but with the disappearance of the unity of the human race, the statement was also changed.

According to the cognition of different tribes, there are various understandings. Many tribes believe that even if they have not experienced the heavenly tribulation, as long as the Dao Infant appears, they will be in the Nascent Soul realm.

As for the necessary level of the Heavenly Tribulation, it is the shackles of the Nascent Soul Realm itself. Every time a new baby appears, it accumulates the power to face the Heavenly Tribulation. After being baptized by the Heavenly Tribulation, it breaks the shackles.

After all, the Wanggu world is too big, with many ethnic groups and different physiques. For example, there are many people from the Near Immortal Clan who have completely different cognitions from other races, so it is difficult to have any unified cognition at this stage. .

As for the method of promotion, there are many branches according to different races, so there are strengths and weaknesses.

But in the final analysis, they can be roughly divided into two categories. One is that after the second Nascent Soul is born in the body, the person chooses to invite the baptism of heavenly tribulation, thereby promoting the destiny.

The second category involves relatively few selective practices, that is, after transforming all the heavenly palaces into Dao Infants, they will experience the heavenly tribulation together and experience earth-shaking changes at once.

The latter is difficult, but once successful, the power of destiny obtained will be stronger, which will be of great help to subsequent spiritual treasures.

After entering the realm of Destiny Daoying, the method of promotion is also different from that of Tiangong Jindan. It requires passing through the Destiny Tribulation. All Nascent Souls have experienced it once, which is a big promotion.

A total of five times, and after experiencing them all, it is Dzogchen.

It contains dangers, so the Nascent Soul needs to increase its own strength and grow continuously to have the capital to overcome the tribulation. Otherwise, once the tribulation fails, the Nascent Soul will collapse irreversibly and disappear permanently.

At this stage, the life lamp is indeed the most powerful manifestation, because even if the life lamp disaster fails, it will not disappear, so you can try multiple times after failure.

Xu Qing realized this and when he looked inside his twelfth heavenly palace, the captain suddenly raised his hand and handed the time bottle to Xu Qing.

"Place this object in your twelfth heavenly palace as a suppressive object!"

Xu Qing looked up at the captain.

"Although this thing is precious, I have no use for it. My practice is to break the seal." The captain chuckled and blinked at Xu Qing.

"Thank you, senior brother." Warmth arose in Xu Qing's heart. Over the years, he had already regarded the captain and Master Qi as his indispensable relatives.

Xu Qing's childhood experience made him cold-hearted, but deep down he always longed for his relatives.

As for the captain, the two of them have experienced so many things along the way, and have lived and died many times. In Xu Qing's heart, he has already unknowingly filled his brother's position.

At this moment, Xu Qing took the Time Vase and put it into his Twelfth Heavenly Palace without hesitation.

The Heavenly Palace roared, completely completed, and unlike other Heavenly Palaces, this twelfth palace exuded bursts of power of time. Xu Qing seemed to hear a familiar sigh echoing from the years.

This sigh made him startled.

That was...Zixuan's voice.

Xu Qinggang was about to explore carefully, but at this moment, a deafening roar came from the sky, and even more cracks echoed, and cracks came from the distant sky and quickly filled the entire sky.

The sky seemed to have turned into a spider web.

A crimson meaning exploded in the sky!

The expressions of Xu Qing and the captain changed at the same time.
