Outside of Time

Within the Moon Festival area, there is a sacred place in the center called the Plain of Penitence.

It was once sacred because it was the imperial palace of the ruler of this domain.

It is now sacred because it is now the headquarters of the Red Moon Temple.

It is said to be a plain, but it is actually an inland island surrounded by a sea of ​​blood of all beings, but its scope is vast, comparable to a county.

On this penitent plain, there stands a kneeling statue. Its height exceeds all the mountains in the Moon Sacrifice Region. It seems to be as high as the sky and the earth, and it is astonishingly vast.

This was the former master of this domain.

Even if he dies, there is still a terrifying coercion rising, covering all directions, and above his head, stands a huge palace in the shape of a crown.

The red color of this palace is like a sealing shackle, suppressing it here, causing the knees of the master statue to sink slightly every year.

This place is the headquarters of the Red Moon Temple.

As for the statue, there are countless temples built around it. The cultivators who come and go are wearing red robes. Everyone is quiet and everything is silent.

Because the Son of God does not like noise.

But today, two long rainbows roared from the north and east, like two sharp blades, tearing the sky, collapsing the silence, and blasting towards this place.

The northern Changhong, with its endless aura of death, transformed into the daughter of the Lord wearing armor.

The shadow of the east stirred up endless storms, changing the color of the sky and the earth, and gathered into a body of brown robes.

The power of swallowing up mountains and rivers surged up from the two figures, causing the sky to wrinkle and nothingness to collapse wherever they passed.

Their arrival caused the sea of ​​blood to churn on the earth, and the temple shook.

The moment the terrifying aura came with the intention of destroying the world, a gentle voice came softly from the temple above the statue of the Lord.

"Brother Prince, and my dear third sister, your escape surprised me."

As the words echoed, a red figure walked out of the Statue Temple.

With his appearance, the color of the sky changes, with thousands of auspicious colors and endless brilliance. Endless light spreads from his body and spreads to the entire world.

He fell into the sky with one step, the world was hazy, everything was twisted, and he faced the coming blood relative.

As they looked at each other, the three amazing bodies began to collide with each other's worlds, imitating everything.

The level of the battle between them was so high that no living being could perceive it. Everyone on the earth could only see the sky rolling and the sun, moon and stars appearing.

So countless monks in the temple bowed their heads one after another, with pious expressions on their faces, and they all worshiped, murmuring in their mouths.

"My lord, the red moon, looks back to the ancient times, and may all suffering beings enjoy the land of peace and happiness."

This sound is like a song, shaking the heaven and earth.

No one knows the final outcome of this divine battle that took place in the Plains of Repentance, but the ripples caused by this battle shrouded the entire Moon Sacrifice Territory.

It was as if the heavenly fire reappeared across the sky, affecting the rules and confusing them.

All sentient beings were not allowed to rise to high altitudes during this period. Even the sun where Xu Qing and others were located sank rapidly after flying to the edge near the south.

Finally being put away by the captain, the four of them had to fall to the ground and stood on the top of a mountain.

Stepping on the rocks, the captain and Xu Qing looked up into the distance. Wu Jianwu was frightened, and Ning Yan also looked solemn.

After a while, the captain looked at Xu Qing, and the two looked at each other.

"They started a war." Xu Qing said calmly.

"It's too early and it's hard to succeed."

The captain shook his head, commented, took out a peach, and took a bite.

"But for us, it's not a bad thing, it's just that this matter is not something we can participate in at the moment. We continue with our plan."

"Little Ah Qing, your senior brother and I will have our territory next. Are you ready?"

For the captain, the most important thing at the moment is not the battle in the temple, but the Tianniu Mountain they are going to.

He was going to let Xu Qing know his former glory there.

Xu Qing's face was expressionless. He had said this seven or eight times along the way.

Seeing that Xu Qing was no longer cooperating, the captain threw an apple. Xu Qing caught it and took a bite with a look of anticipation on his face.

The captain was immediately satisfied.

Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan on the side looked at each other and sighed. They had never eaten the fruits given by the captain before when Xu Qing was not around. Now that Xu Qing is around, they have not eaten either.

"Let's go!" The captain said proudly and was about to move forward.

Xu Qing paused, looked up at the sky, and suddenly spoke.

"Elder brother, what would happen if we invite a catastrophe at this time?"

The captain immediately understood what Xu Qing meant. After glancing at Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan, he spoke through a message.

"Your Ziyue Nascent Soul?"

Xu Qing nodded. All his Nascent Souls had reached the Great Perfection after experiencing what happened in the northern ice field.

The captain pondered, looked at the sky, and laughed.

"Junior brother, your idea is interesting. A super-standard battle broke out in this large area, so the laws of heaven and earth were in chaos. This is not common. And at this time, there may be two situations when a natural disaster is caused."

"The first situation is that the catastrophe cannot come and is blocked from the outside, thus allowing you to avoid the catastrophe and obtain your destiny."

"As for the second situation, the catastrophe will fall in a more shocking way, and it will even affect the soul."

"So, have you thought it through?" The captain looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's eyes were filled with thought and he spoke slowly.

"If it's the latter, he should have gained more destiny and tempered his soul more."

The captain's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Yes, especially the tempering of the soul, under this thunder, the effect is very good."

"I want to try." Xu Qing said calmly after thinking.

"Actually, there is another way. You can hide in your little world." The captain licked his lips. He was very interested in Xu Qing's idea.

Xu Qing heard that it made sense, so the two discussed it, found a valley nearby, and started preparations.

Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu watched the two of them discussing this matter with some disbelief. At this moment, they couldn't help but communicate outside the valley.

"Why do I feel like they are seeking death again?"

"Be more confident and remove the word feeling..." Ning Yan sighed and quickly moved away from the valley. He had a bad premonition, but before he could run far, the premonition came true.

A suction force erupted from the valley, dragging its envelope directly in.

"Junior brother, we still have weapons. With weapons here, you have greater control."

The captain's voice echoed in the valley. Wu Jianwu shuddered and quickly moved away until he was thousands of feet away. He hid in a depression and looked at the valley in the distance when he heard a huge roar from the sky.

The thunder was so loud that it exploded in all directions, as if there was a god roaring on the sky.

Wu Jianwu took a breath and stepped back a thousand feet, feeling more at ease.

At this moment, the changes in the sky were even more terrifying. A huge vortex rumbled into existence, with countless lightnings swimming inside, and finally gathered together to form a thunder dragon.

Under Wu Jianwu's shock, the thunder dragon roared and rushed towards the valley.

The next moment, the earth shook, and the valley was instantly enveloped by the thunder dragon. The rocks collapsed, and countless electric lights spread on the ground, turning the place into a thunder pond.

Faintly, Ning Yan's screams seemed to be heard.

Wu Jianwu's scalp was numb. When he stepped back again, the whirlpool of the sky curtain turned even more vast. The second thunder tribulation was pulled from all directions, and even the thunder pool on the ground rose up and connected with the sky curtain.

Looking around, the lightning in this area was one after another, until finally they all merged together and fell again towards the collapsed valley.

The ground cracked.

Wu Jianwu was also affected, his hair stood on end, and he ran as fast as he could.

In this way, lightning fell again and again, the scope became larger and larger, the sound became more shocking, and it lasted for seven days.

When the area of ​​a thousand miles around finally turned into a piece of scorched soil, the last thunderstorm became extremely terrifying. It actually turned into a huge thunder and lightning spear, penetrating from the sky and heading straight to the earth.

The earth trembled and the mountains shook, and the world changed drastically.

Wu Jianwu, who was thousands of miles away, looked at all this and his body started to tremble.

He was extremely certain of one thing at this moment, that is, Xu Qing was no less crazy than Chen Erniu, and even worse in some places.

"No, I have to leave. With Chen Erniu, I feel like I'm always walking on the edge of life and death. Now with this Xu Qing, I'm not walking on the edge of life and death. I'm walking on the road of death!"

Wu Jianwu's eyes were firm and he turned around and ran away.

In order not to be found, he changed directions many times, but after running for several days, a familiar figure appeared behind him, and a voice called out.

"Don't run away, Dajianjian, don't be afraid, haha, it's over."

Wu Jianwu wailed in his heart, pretending not to hear, speeding up, but after all, it was still not as fast as the captain. After three or five breaths, the captain's figure appeared behind Wu Jianwu with a roar, and held him down. shoulders.

Wu Jianwu turned his head with a sad face and saw the captain's hateful face with a smile on his face.

The captain didn't mind Wu Jianwu's expression and went up to hug his neck enthusiastically.

"Dajianjian, why are you running away? Aren't you my good friend? It's very dangerous here. We are fellow villagers. It's safe to follow us. If little Ningning hadn't sensed your trace, we would have almost died. It leaves you alone."

Wu Jianwu heard this and glared at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan was carried in the captain's hand and smiled at Wu Jianwu, as if you don't want to leave me to suffer alone.

Wu Jianwu was so angry that he also noticed the pale and weak Xu Qing behind the captain.

Xu Qing's clothes were torn and his hair was messy, but he was in good spirits and his aura was obviously stronger than before.

However, he was trembling a little as he walked, and lightning flashed out of his body from time to time.

The previous thunder tribulation was so powerful that Xu Qing's heart filled with emotion when he recalled it.

Fortunately, there is a small world. When he can't hold on any longer, he will escape into it. After recovering, he will rush out and continue to bear the thunder tribulation, with the captain outside to help.

But even so, Xu Qing still reached the limit many times, and finally survived the ordeal to the end, successfully survived the enhanced fate, and gained more destiny.

What's more important is that, under the baptism of this thunder, his soul is obviously much stronger than before.

"If this continues, after five life tribulations, my soul will no longer be weak!"

Xu Qing gritted his teeth in his heart.

The return of Wu Jianwu made them all gather together, and they were quickly approaching the location of Tianniu Mountain.

Along the way, I don’t know how the captain coaxed him. In short, Wu Jianwu gradually agreed with the captain’s statement. There was a smile on his face and he recited more poems.

But he was very angry with Ning Yan and didn't say a word to him on the way.

As for Xu Qing, he ignored these people and circulated the purple crystal in his body to speed up his body's recovery. Because the previous thunder tribulation was too powerful and the skin was seriously damaged, Xu Qing's body shed during this recovery process.

Just like that, half a month passed.

As the power of the forbidden sky in the sky weakened, the captain's artificial sun continued to rise, which accelerated their speed, so half a month later, Mount Tianniu came into everyone's sight.

Weiyang Tianniu Mountain is located on the Weiyang Mountains.

The mountain range is huge, and there are many hills on it, and there are many small sects and tribes.

Because the environment is different from that in the north and east, the vegetation here is lush. From a distance, the entire mountain range is green, and even the sky is not so gloomy.

There is so much life here.

"You see, the highest mountain is Tianniu Mountain."

On the ground, the captain raised his hand and pointed at the mountains in the distance, and spoke proudly.

"Let me tell you that this Tianniu Mountain was the holy land here and had a very high status!"

"But let's not talk about the past. It was just yesterday's glory. Now, there are many sects here and they have formed an alliance."

"As for the name, ahem, they felt the legend of this place, so they named it the Tianniu Alliance."

The captain felt extremely comfortable when he said these four words. He had been in a happy mood for several days after obtaining this information in Fenghai County.

Xu Qing showed his admiration appropriately when he heard this and looked at the sky.

"Does it feel a little brighter than other places?" the captain smiled.

"Because the sky here has been broken in the past, and the mountains are special and can emit a certain amount of light, so the Weiyang Mountains are still very famous in the Moon Festival area."

"Let's go, I'll take you to the main city at the foot of the mountain first."

"Because there are so many monks here, a city slowly formed at the foot of the mountain, and it was very lively inside."

The captain put his hands behind his back and led Xu Qing and others forward as if going home. Soon a huge city appeared in Xu Qing's eyes.

The sound of boiling came from far away. It was obvious that there were many cultivators from all races living here, as well as ordinary people.

Outside the city gate, the captain coughed deliberately and raised his chin to indicate for them to look at the name on the city.

Yingniu City.

These three characters convey a vigorous and ancient atmosphere, as if they have existed for a long time.

Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan looked at the name of the city and couldn't help but look at the captain. The captain looked at Xu Qing happily.

Xu Qing stared at those three words with a moved expression.

The captain laughed and walked forward contentedly, talking as he walked.

"Did you see it? This is the city built to welcome me. When you come here, you are at your own home."

The captain was full of energy and strode forward, but there was an incident when entering the city gate. They had to pay a lot of spiritual stones to enter.

The captain just said that this is his home, so he was a little unhappy when faced with this charge.

Ning Yan lowered his head and Wu Jianwu looked around. They had no money.

Xu Qing blinked and saw that the captain was unhappy, so he comforted him softly.

"Elder brother, it's okay. They don't know who you are, and this is your territory. The spiritual stones you paid are also yours, right?"

The captain's eyes showed appreciation. He felt that Xiao Aqing was really considerate here, so he paid the spirit stones with his own money and took them into the city.

What greeted us was a lively atmosphere. There were many people in the city, all races and clans were mixed together, and there were many shops. It looked very prosperous.

Walking in the city, the captain looked around with emotion in his eyes, until he saw a spiritual soup house, he paused in his steps and looked reminiscing.

"There is a spiritual river in the Weiyang Mountains, winding down and forming multiple spiritual pools. Now after so many years, the city at the foot of the mountain has also diverted the water. I especially liked to take a bath in the mountain at the time, so that the female nuns at the foot of the mountain could Let’s soak in my bath water.”

"Let's go, I'll take you to take a shower first, and then go to my house after everyone is comfortable."

The captain said, walking towards the Lingchi Pavilion.

The owner of this hotel was also a monk. When he saw Xu Qing and the others, he nodded slightly, collected the fee, and took them inside.

The hot spring pool in the museum is not small, and there are many people. Although it is divided into separate areas, there are still noisy voices of laughter and conversation in the steaming hot water.

When they arrived here, Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu each occupied a place, took off their coats and soaked in, looking relieved, especially Wu Jianwu, who simply spent a little more money to call out his sons.

The captain was alone in the soup pool, leaning on the edge with his arms spread out, and exhaled a long, extremely narrow breath.

Xu Qing was in another soup pool, and Ling'er came out and quickly transformed into another shape. She leaned against Xu Qing with a red face and narrowed her eyes.

Xu Qing smiled, closed his eyes, and his mood calmed down.

This journey was dusty and he shed his skin many times. Now his body is soaked in the hot spring, and his whole body is being nourished, making him feel very comfortable.

The laughter and chatter around them no longer felt noisy after they adapted to the atmosphere here, as if this should be part of the soup pool.

It wasn't until some conversations in the distant soup pool caught Xu Qing's attention.

"What a pity. All the spiritual ponds on the mountain and down the mountain will be closed next month. It is said that the spiritual river is completely blocked and will be gathered in this branch of the sect among the Yin and Yang flowers."

"I can't help it. Fairy Xianghan is getting married, and she has to be baptized for a month. Most of the people in the Weiyang Mountains want to save face. Even the Yin Yang Huajian Sect has agreed to let her go to the baptism."

"Isn't it because of Fairy Xianghan's fiancé Xuan Mingzi? As the strongest person in Weiyang Mountains, everyone can only agree."

"But this Fairy Xianghan is indeed beautiful. I saw her once last year. She was really beautiful and fragrant, unparalleled."

"I heard that Fairy Xianghan was not a cultivator of our Weiyang Mountains before. She came suddenly a few years ago. She was just passing by, but she fell in love with Xuan Mingzi at first sight."

These words were mixed with laughter and chatter and reached Xu Qing's ears.

Xu Qing paid attention. This was his habit. Wherever he went, environment and information were key.

Especially the latter, after experiencing some troubles caused by the lack of information in Tianhuohai, he paid more attention to this matter.

Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan didn't pay attention to this, but the captain pricked up his ears, looked at Xu Qing, and spoke with a smile.

"It has nothing to do with us. In our family, these are just little house birds."

Seeing how confident the captain was, Xu Qing nodded, closed his eyes and continued taking a bath.

Just like that, an hour passed. When they left the spiritual soup restaurant, they were all refreshed and refreshed by the wind.

Although Xu Qing was disguised, his slender body and upright posture still attracted some attention after he walked out. Especially after Ling'er transformed, her rosy face was extremely beautiful. Being around Xu Qing, it also attracted a lot of attention. Attention.

Wu Jianwu also felt refreshed, and the depression in his heart dissipated a lot. Now walking on the road with Xu Qing and others, he simply took out his fan, knocked it in his hand, and spoke as he walked.

"The clouds in the sky are as high as the mountains, and the rocks in my heart are as high as the earth!"

"If a spirit transforms into mortal hair, who can say that the body is still beautiful!"

Wu Jianwu usually recited one sentence of poetry, and rarely said this kind of four-part poem. Now that he finished speaking, his face was filled with emotion.

Ning Yan on the side immediately took a few steps away, and the captain didn't understand.

Xu Qing ignored it.

As for the passers-by around him, many looked over in surprise after hearing this.

Wu Jianwu snorted in his heart, secretly thinking it was just a group of sparrows, how could you understand the meaning behind my poem.

Thinking of this, a sense of condescension spread in Wu Jianwu's heart. While shaking his head, he followed Xu Qing and others and slowly walked away.

But he didn't notice that there were two women sitting there on the second floor of the attic next to him.

One woman lowered her head and was talking. The other woman was middle-aged and quite pretty, but her expression was moved at the moment.

She ignored the subordinates across from her and stood up to lift the curtain, looking into the street, her eyes falling on Wu Jianwu's back.

His expression slowly showed appreciation and admiration.

"This man is an extraordinary person. He uses mountains and rocks as a metaphor for his will, and he also uses his spirit as a metaphor for the world to express his inner aspirations. He has the legacy of the ancient emperors!"

"In today's world, there are not many people with such talent."

The subordinate behind the woman was stunned when she heard the words, and looked at him in the past. She knew that her sect master had always admired the ancient emperor Xuanyou, and to be praised like this by the sect master must not be an ordinary person, so she whispered.

"Sect Master, are you going to find out the identity of that young master?"

"No need, our Yin Yang Huajian Sect is all about fate, and besides, I don't want anyone to inquire about my talent."

The middle-aged woman spoke softly, then looked at her subordinates with sharp eyes.

"Have you found out the details of fellow Daoist Xianghan?"

The subordinate immediately bowed his head and spoke respectfully.

"I found some. The opponent was supposed to be at the first level of Guixu, but he was seriously injured and his cultivation fell to Guixu level."

"The name is not real, and the origins mentioned are all false. Although there are curses on the body, there are not many. From this, it is judged that he must be a cultivator from an outside world, and his soul is incomplete."

"And judging from the place where it first appeared, it is not Yanyue Xuantian or Heitian. It is most likely that it entered from the direction of the Shenglan clan."

"The purpose of coming here is unknown, but I did meet Xuan Mingzi more than a year ago."

After saying that, the subordinate stopped talking and quickly disappeared as the middle-aged woman waved her hand.

Until the surroundings were empty, the middle-aged woman looked into the distance and murmured.

"Why does Xianghan have the aura of Yun Shen..."
