Outside of Time

Seeing how excited the captain was, Xu Qing had a smile on his face.

He didn't think it mattered about the identity of the master of the Niuyue Palace. After all, the senior brother had been preparing for this for a long time. If he really became the master of the Niuyue Palace, Xu Qing wouldn't be too surprised.

"Then I congratulate Senior Brother in advance."

Xu Qing smiled and spoke.

The captain laughed.

"Whatever is mine is yours, little junior brother, let's go!"

As he spoke, the lens suddenly flashed and turned into a bright color, covering the two of them. A roaring sound echoed, and the figures of Xu Qing and the captain disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the Niyue Palace was filled with depression.

The mountain is still as spectacular as ever, but most of the temples on it are dim.

In the past, the vast scene of thousands of statues of gods walking in the sky and the earth is now difficult to see with the advent of war.

The numerous monks of the Counter-Moon Temple put most of their energy into leading the resistance army in the war with the Red Moon Temple, so the time they usually came to the temple was naturally reduced.

Therefore, in the Niyue Palace at this moment, it seems that only a small number of the monks from the Niyue Palace who come here temporarily to communicate information and trade with others exist.

Less than a few hundred.

They are in a hurry and often leave immediately after completing what they need. There is no time to waste, but at this moment... a sudden change occurs.

In the sky, on top of the nine huge temples, the Sky-shattering Temple, which stood at the highest point of the Niyue Palace, suddenly shone brightly.

There was even a deafening huge roar echoing.

The appearance of this light and sound spread throughout the entire mountain of Niyue Palace. For a moment, the mountain trembled and the temples shook.

The monks here were all shaken and instinctively raised their heads.

After seeing the source of everything clearly, shock suddenly broke out.

"The Supreme Palace!"

"What's going on? The supreme palace, which represents the Lord of the Anti-Moon Palace, is no longer dim and actually shines brightly."

There was an uproar immediately. This scene was really too shocking for the monks of Niyue Palace.

That is the highest palace!

The supreme temple representing the Lord of the Anti-Moon Palace!

For countless years, there has never been a true supreme master in the Niyue Palace. Everything is managed and given orders by the deputy palace masters, so this is of great significance.

However, for some of the old people, although their mental fluctuations were not small, they had not yet reached an earth-shattering level, because although similar scenes had not occurred many times over the years, they had witnessed it and understood it.

"Another big shot has started the palace master trial."

"I have seen this situation twice. Unfortunately, the door of the Supreme Temple has not been opened. It will become dim again after a while."

"I also saw it once. The master of the fifth palace finally walked out of his temple."

These old men sighed, and after they spoke, the newly promoted Niyue Temple monks here also understood.

However, the expectation is still strong. Although it is not believed that the Supreme Lord will really appear, there is a high probability that a deputy palace master will appear. This is also a big deal for the current Niyue Palace.

After all, the Anti-Moon Temple and the Red Moon Temple are now at war. The appearance of a new deputy palace master at this time will greatly improve morale.

At this moment, it was quickly spread that figures were quickly returning to the Niyue Palace from the outside world. Many statues walked out of the temple and looked at the sky. Discussions and uproar arose one after another.

Even the several deputy temples in the sky shine brightly.

Two of the five deputy temple masters appeared, looking up at the highest temple.

In the expectation of the monks of the Niyue Palace, behind the sky of the Niyue Palace, there is a place where others cannot take the initiative to come, and there is nothingness there.

This nothingness is like fog, spreading over an endless range, churning densely, and at the end of the nothingness, there is a lake.

To be precise, this is a huge mirror covered with a layer of lake water.

The lake is crystal clear and the mirror surface is extremely clear.

A piece of holiness.

Above this mirror lake, a tall figure floats.

It was an old man, wearing a white robe, with his hands intertwined in the left and right sleeves, his head lowered, staring at the lake, motionless.

Only the clothes and white hair are swaying from time to time.

And on the water surface where his eyes were looking, there were ripples reverberating at the moment, and a blurry shadow was gradually forming under the water.

The nothingness where the old man was was seemed to be separated by a mirror, and the body that was being formed seemed to be on the other side of the mirror.

I don’t know how much time passed, but the figure under the water became clearer and clearer. It was Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's face was solemn, and his mind was even more disturbed. He lowered his head and looked at his feet.

In his impression, after he and his senior brother were enveloped by the light of the lens, everything became blank.

And the next moment, when everything was restored, he appeared in this land of mirror lakes. There was nothing but nothingness around him, only the mirror under his feet...

There seemed to be another world there, reflecting the figure of an old man in a white robe.

The two of them stared at each other across the mirror lake.

What caught Xu Qing's eyes was a pair of indifferent eyes, filled with coldness.

Xu Qing was alert. He had already looked around and did not see his senior brother.

"The person who came with you is in another mirror, thinking about how to do the trial."

The sound of calm came from the lake mirror at Xu Qing's feet, echoing in the void, setting off countless echoes, giving people a sense of vastness.

"All cultivators who enter this place, regardless of their cultivation level, are qualified for the trial."

"If you succeed in the trial, you will be the master of the Sky Eye, and also my master. If you fail, you will have a second-class contract with limited rights."

"Then you, are you going to try it?"

The voice contained no emotion and passed into Xu Qing's ears coldly.

Xu Qing pondered, but did not confirm immediately, but asked.

"What kind of trial is needed?"

"Make a great wish." The old man in white robe under the water said calmly.

"Use the power of your ambition to reach a contract, and then show that you have the qualifications to complete it, and then you can pass. Then within the specified time, you have to complete your ambition."

"The Sky Eye authority obtained after passing the test depends on the size of the ambition."

"If the ambition is ordinary, even if it passes, it will not be promoted to the Lord of the Sky Eye. It will still be a second-class contract."

"Only great aspirations can lead to great cause and effect."

"But don't act recklessly."

As the white-robed old man spoke, he raised his hand and waved, and suddenly there was a loud noise, the water surface rippled, and dozens of ice sculptures transformed inside.

These ice sculptures include men and women, each exuding a good aura, but the fluctuations of life are sealed.

"These are the losers of this era. They were either too ambitious and exaggerated. They were judged to be false and were punished. Or they were unable to fulfill their wishes and have been restrained to this day."

Xu Qing's eyes quickly swept over and he didn't see the captain inside, and he was relieved in his heart.

"So, what is your ambition?" Under the mirror lake, the old man in white robe looked at Xu Qing indifferently.

Xu Qing thought for a while, and he felt that since the captain had been preparing for so long, there was a high probability that there would be no problem. After all, although the senior brother was sometimes unreliable, he was still crazy enough when it came to big things.

So here, I don't actually need to take too many risks to say anything about destroying the Red Mother.

Just follow your heart.

Xu Qing thought for a while and looked at each other across the lake with the white-robed old man.

"I don't have any big ambitions."

"What I wanted to do most in this Moon Sacrifice Domain was to refine a pill that could resolve the curse of all living beings here, especially the human race."

Xu Qing spoke slowly. This incident was the reason why he came to the Kusheng Mountains in the first place and joined the Niyue Palace to better obtain research information on the curse.

At this moment, the words came out, ripples appeared on the water surface, and the expression of the old man in white robe changed. If another trialist had spoken like this, he would have judged the other person to be false.

But as the weapon spirit of Niyue Palace, he saw from Xu Qing everything that happened in Niyue Palace, including the curse-dropping pill.

All the actions of the other party seem to be on this ambitious road.

So a moment later, the white-robed old man raised his hand and waved, and suddenly the water in front of Xu Qing roiled, and a huge alchemy furnace transformed from within and rose up.

"Everything here can be created out of nothing, and everything can change. Although it is all false, as long as you ask it, I can turn it into reality."

"You can refine it here and start your trial."

"The passage of time here is also different from the outside world, so you don't have to care about time."

"You have to refine a pill that reduces the curse by at least 20%. If so, you will pass the test."

After saying that, the figure of the old man in white robe disappeared without a trace.

Xu Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the alchemy furnace in front of him. He took a closer look and felt waves in his heart.

This alchemy furnace is extremely real, not like an illusion.

"Can you transform all things?" Xu Qing suddenly said.

"I need ten Destiny Flowers!"

As soon as he spoke, ripples appeared on the surrounding water, and ten drops of lake water rose up. After floating in front of Xu Qing, these ten drops of water rotated individually, and finally formed ten Destiny Flowers.

Whether it's the smell of vegetation or the medicinal power contained within, it's extremely real.

Xu Qing was moved, took one and observed it carefully. After a while, he decided to eat it and taste it.

"Everything is real, and so are the effects of the medicine, but these are just feelings. They don't actually exist. It's just that I feel like I've taken it."

Xu Qing was thoughtful.

"Here, there is a power that is close to changing one's own perception, but it is different from the prince's grandfather."

"The former is owned by oneself and actively released to affect the outside world."

"And here, it's more like this authority has been stripped out and permeated here, like a tool that can be used by others!"

"And it seems to be more domineering."

Xu Qing was moved and looked around. He suddenly felt that this place was very good, so the difficulties he encountered when studying the resistance-reducing pill came to mind.

"The environment of the Moon Sacrifice Territory means that many medicinal herbs are not available here..."

Xu Qing's eyes flashed with wonder and he spoke again.

"One thousand single-spirited Hui Bamboo that has been planted for hundreds of years."

"Amagi Nepenthes, three thousand copies!"

"The lightning strikes the young leaves of the dragon tree, and there are ten thousand leaves!"

"There are also half-phantom flowers in the clouds, nine-withered and seven-withered grass, and thousand-year-old mulberry roots..."

These treasures of heaven and earth are rare even in Fenghai County. Xu Qing mentioned dozens of them at once, and soon... a large number of medicinal herbs appeared.

This surprised Xu Qing, so he opened his mouth again and talked about hundreds of them, and they were all formed one by one. Even if there were mistakes in the middle, they would reunite after Xu Qing described their appearance and medicinal properties.

He continued to adjust it, and the vegetation that emerged completely met his needs.

Xu Qing's heart was filled with ups and downs. He had deeply realized that this was a dream place for an alchemist.

Xu Qing immediately waved his hand and grabbed a rare medicinal herb. After studying it carefully, he began to refine it according to what he wanted in his mind. It didn't matter if he failed, he could start over.

Herbs, unlimited.

This kind of squandering without worrying about consumption made Xu Qing feel extremely happy. He was immersed in it and tried all the refining methods he thought of.

"I already have an idea for the Curse-Reducing Pill. It's not difficult to refine it to reduce the curse by 20%. It's also possible to reduce the curse by 20%..."

"But this place has another extremely important use for me, and that is the formation of poisonous weeds!"

Xu Qing's eyes were fiery.

"All the poisonous weeds I desire can be formed here."

"Although it is false, the perception is true, and the instinct of this body will be formed as a result!"

"In this way, the art of integrating poison into eyes, which I had to stop due to the lack of poisonous weeds, can be completely completed here."
