Outside of Time

As soon as this sound came out, the land of the imperial capital rippled, and countless buildings vibrated with it. Even the formations of the capital shone brightly, and rainbows appeared in the sky like auspicious signs.

The various forces in the capital, and countless strong men, all looked extremely solemn. Many of the people's expressions changed rapidly, and their hearts were turbulent.

In fact, Xu Qing's arrival, in just one day, affected the minds of too many people.

To others, Xu Qing's power was astonishing, leading to the fall of the King of Heaven, owning half of the great domain, and even forming an alliance with the Moon Sacrifice Domain, and had a rare experience of killing a god.

If an ordinary person has one of these things, he is already an extraordinary person, not to mention that Xu Qing has them all.

In particular, his strong entry into the battle revealed his acting style. The sun of dawn shocked all directions, and then he worshiped the statue of the Great Emperor. The Emperor holding the sword heard the sound of recovery for the fourth time in countless years.

All these things made it impossible for Xu Qing not to attract attention here.

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect was also feeling deep in his heart at this moment. Although he did not dare to send a message to Xu Qing at this juncture, the fluctuation in his heart was not small.

He felt that according to the ancient books he had read, the protagonists generally would not behave like this, and would usually act in a low-key manner... Only the protagonist's opponent, a super villain in the ancient books, and this type of character would appear after Ben Shi returned to the court. There will be such a shocking plot.

He has studied such plots, mostly to highlight the terror of the enemy, and to set a goal for the protagonist, and then let the protagonist defeat it step by step, so that readers can get the pleasure of the little guy defeating the big guy.

"This...Master, it's the wrong thing here..."

The ancestor of the King Kong Sect felt a little trembling in his heart. He felt that what happened to Xu Qing was very different from the ancient books he had read.

He is like this, not to mention other people in the imperial capital who don't know Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's performance was also the rare one in the history of Xuanzhan that shook the entire capital.

Especially the resurrection of the sword-wielding emperor, this event is so big that it can be recorded in the history of the human race.

According to records in ancient books, the statue of the sword-wielding emperor is always in a sleeping state. Only during the assessment of the sword-holders from all sides will distractions arise and the responsibility of questioning the heart will arise.

It had been revived three times before.

The first time was during the period of Human Emperor Dongsheng. After the human race experienced a great defeat, Chen Shuyan, the master of the Sword-bearing Palace at that time, summoned the Emperor before his death and begged to wake up.

At that moment, the statue of the sword-wielding emperor revived for the first time, and it was that revival that made the Yanyue Xuantian clan, due to some causes and effects, not choose to exterminate the clan.

The second time was during the period of Emperor Jingyun. Wang Ken, the lord of the Sword-bearing Palace at that time, once entered the palace with a sword when Prince Ziqing was besieged by thousands of tribes... and did not return after that.

The sword-wielding emperor revived that day, stared at the south, and let out a sigh.

The third time was not very far away now. It was at the moment when Emperor Xuanzhan ascended the throne. The emperor revived and stared at him with profound meaning, sternness and expectation in his eyes.

Ancient books record that the Emperor had sent a message to the Emperor that day. No one except the Emperor knew the details. Outsiders could only see the Emperor being silent for a few seconds before bowing to the Emperor with a firm gaze.

Now, it's the fourth time.

Suddenly, countless gazes and thoughts came from all directions in the capital, and this matter was like a storm, rapidly spreading across the human race.

Discussions and messages from all directions also echoed in the sea of ​​souls at this moment.

Xu Qing's information is not a secret to all parties in the capital, especially his inquisitiveness.

So soon, most parties guessed the cause and effect.

"One of the key points in Xu Qing's message is that he is the first person in the history of Xuanzhan to hold a sword and ask questions about his heart! This may be the reason why the emperor woke up!"

In the Fengyang Pavilion in the palace, Princess Anhai stood in front of the window, looking at the statue of the sword-wielding emperor in the distance. Xu Qing's thoughts came to her mind. After a while, she withdrew her gaze and murmured.

"The Emperor revived him. This matter... seems to be taking care of him, but why do I feel like I am being left alone?"

At the same time, in the seventh prince's mansion, the seventh prince closed his eyes and sat silently in the attic of the mansion. Behind him were dozens of monks, each silent.

The whole attic was quiet, but if you look carefully, you can see the hand in the sleeve of the seventh prince, which has been tightly held at some point.

There is also the Tenth Prince's Mansion. Outsiders think that the Tenth Prince has always been arrogant and domineering with a bad temper. He lost his temper in front of the servants, but when no one was around, there was a hint of coldness under his violent expression. fleeting.

Most of the other princes are in their own places at this moment, with different thoughts. As for whether their superficial expressions are consistent with their inner feelings, outsiders don't know.

There are also some dignitaries and kings at their peak, such as Taiwei Ozai, etc. Their expressions are much calmer, and there are not too many disturbances. It’s just that most of them stared at the statue of the emperor holding the sword, and then fell on the palace, each with their own profound meanings. .

Xuan Zhan ascends the throne and the emperor is revived.

After many years, Xu Qing arrived and the emperor revived again...

In the imperial palace, in Guantian Pavilion, the Human Emperor had no expression on his face. He did not look to the outside world, but stared at the chessboard in front of him. He held a white piece in his hand and put it down gently.

"Your Majesty, I have answered your question, but you haven't told me yet. What did the sword-wielding emperor say to you when you ascended the throne?"

On the opposite side of the chessboard, the national master smiled and dropped a black piece.

The Human Emperor raised his head, looked at the Imperial Master calmly, and spoke calmly.

"The Emperor told me that he regretted what happened to Prince Ziqing back then, and asked me to return the skull that was taken away and buried together by Jingyun if I ever meet him in this life."

"Didn't you receive it?"

The Human Emperor is an understatement, but every word contains profound meaning.

The Imperial Master was silent, and after a while, a smile appeared on his face again.

"If you meet someone like Your Majesty in this life, you will never be lonely."

The Human Emperor ignored it, picked up a white piece, and was about to put it down, but at this moment, a vast voice echoed throughout the capital.

"My little friend, come to the Sword Holding Palace, I'll wait for you there."

As soon as this sound came out, the Emperor's hand holding the chess pieces paused and he slowly raised his head.

The Imperial Master opposite him also turned his head with a strange look in his eyes.

The sentient beings in the capital, all the powerful ones, had their inner turbulence become stronger again.

That was the voice of the sword-wielding emperor, and the emperor's resurrection had different meanings from his summons.

Especially in the Sword-holding Palace, everyone's expressions change from the palace master to the ordinary sword-holding palace.

Under the statue of the Sword-bearing Emperor, Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the statue of the Emperor. His heart was filled with endless waves. After a long time, he took a deep breath, bowed again, stood up and walked towards the Sword-bearing Palace.

Xu Qing had seen the Sword Holding Palace on the road before and knew the location. All the sword holders patrolling on the road, after seeing Xu Qing, performed the unique sword-wielding ceremony to guide him.

Xu Qing is also a sword holder.

In this way, he walked all the way until an hour later, a special building came into Xu Qing's eyes.

It was a palace complex, and the overall appearance looked like two big swords.

One is placed on the ground, and the other is pierced into the ground at the head and stands tall.

The area is large enough to accommodate millions of people. This is the... headquarters of the Sword Holding Palace in the Fifth Palace of the Human Race.

When Xu Qing arrived, outside the headquarters of the Sword Holding Palace, most of the sword holders who stayed here were waiting outside. Zhou Hengzhi, the master of the Sword Holding Palace of this generation and one of the Heavenly Kings, was also standing there.

Regarding the emperor's summons, Zhijian Palace, which had always strictly followed the rules, did not dare to slack off at all.

There was another figure in the crowd who had met Xu Qing before. He was Huang Kun at the Seventh Prince's banquet. The Seventh Prince introduced him that day and said that the ancestor of the Huang Kun family was the chief deacon of the Sword-bearing Palace.

At this moment, Huang Kun's heart was turbulent. As one of the few people in the imperial capital who had ever met Xu Qing, he felt incredible about what happened in the Shenglan Domain afterwards.

Especially the emperor's recovery and the solemnity of the whole palace made him feel the strong difference.

Back then, when everyone was sitting together, he had a certain attitude in his heart. After all, in his eyes at that time, Xu Qing was just a sword holder in a remote place. Although he had a special status in Fenghai County, it had nothing to do with him.

As for whether it can really grow in the future, that is unknown.

But now... He looked around at his colleagues and sighed in his heart.

Now he can only be with countless people, staring at the figure walking in the distance.

Xu Qing didn't notice Huang Kun. He was in agitated mood at the moment. Although he tried hard to calm himself, out of respect for the emperor, the feeling of pilgrimage was extremely strong.

So when he saw the sword-wielding palace and the many sword-wielders outside, Xu Qing paused. He took off his cyan gown, took out the sword-wielding Taoist robe from his storage bag, and put it on.

As he wore the same white Taoist robe as everyone else, Xu Qing, standing there, became one with everyone around him.

The countless glances from the sword holders also became a little different. Even the palace master and the senior officials of the sword holder nodded slightly.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and stepped forward. Under the eyes of all the sword holders, he arrived in front of the palace. He faced the master of the sword-holding palace standing there with a solemn expression and performed the sword-holding ceremony.

"In response to the emperor's call, Xu Qing, the sword bearer, came here to meet the saint."

The master of the Sword Palace, Zhou Hengzhi, was middle-aged. He looked at Xu Qing with a serious expression and nodded for a long time.

"go in."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and waved, and suddenly the palace gate behind him turned into a whirlpool. The sword energy swirled inside, causing the imperial swords of all sword holders to resonate.

Xu Qing solemnly walked towards the vortex. The moment he stepped into the vortex, he did not appear inside the palace gate, but instead came to a top-secret forbidden area in the Sword Holding Palace.

It was a crypt with a simple layout. There was only one altar, and sitting cross-legged on the altar was a withered man.

This man was old and withered, like a mummy, with a strong sense of decay. Only his heart beat occasionally, and there was still a glimmer of life.

And there were countless scars on his body, which were densely packed and shocking.

Those were wounds left behind for countless years in order to protect the human race.

Each one carries divine power and is a wound from the gods.

And he is the avatar of the sword-wielding emperor, the last great emperor in the history of the human race, and... the only great emperor who has not left and is still protecting the human race!

Looking at the emperor and those scars, Xu Qing's respect became even stronger and she knelt down to worship.

The emperor's closed eyes slowly opened.
