Outside of Time

The sun in the sky emits dazzling light, piercing the unruly forbidden sea, stirring up waves rolling towards the sky, and sending out deep roars.

Before the lingering sound dissipated, the waves fell, splashing large amounts of black water foam, which dispersed high into the air and fell on the protective layer of Xu Qing's Dharma Boat.

Xu Qing stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the sea warily, raising his hands to seal the secret. With the fluctuation of protective spiritual energy, the rich and heterogeneous sea water splashing on it slowly dispersed.

Like the remnants of the gods in the sky, this forbidden sea that surrounds the entire Nanhuang Continent will always be a realm of trembling and awe for people, not only because of its vastness and depth, but also because it is an eternal mystery in everyone's heart. .

This mystery made Xu Qing raise his head and gaze at the sky and the forbidden sea in the distance. In his eyes, the two seemed to blend together at the unknown end.

Compared with the vast sea, the boats traveling to and from Qixuetong are like a few feathers, floating gently and insignificantly.

As for the people on the Dharma boat, this is even more true.

Xu Qing was silent. He looked at the endless distance and the boundless forbidden sea, and a feeling of insignificance emerged in his heart.

"Hai Zhi said that most disciples who go to sea for the first time will feel that they are insignificant. This is a normal psychological change. At the same time, in this state, they will often have the idea of ​​​​conquering."

Xu Qing looked at the endless black sea. This was his first time going to the sea, and it was also his first time to truly look at the sea in the sea.

But he had no thoughts of conquest.

He has no great ideals or vast ambitions. He just wants to survive in this troubled world.

It would be better if we could live better.

Therefore, at this moment, Xu Qing's inner vigilance was very strong. Even if he was practicing cross-legged, he would be alert to all directions.

In this way, time flowed in the reverberation of the waves, until at noon, bursts of noise coming from behind caught Xu Qing's attention.

A sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he looked sideways.

They were seven or eight Dharma boats approaching from the direction of Qixuetong Port, roaring and making a lot of noise.

Except for the one at the front, most of them are at level five or six.

The Dharma Boat at the front, judging from the spiritual energy fluctuations, was about eight or nine levels. It looked quite luxurious, with a golden body and golden feathers, shining in the sun.

In the black forbidden sea, it is extraordinarily dazzling, like a pheasant trying to imitate the peacock in spreading its wings, showing ostentation and tackiness.

The bow of Fengniao should have contained elegance, but under this golden color and luxury, it has lost its soul, showing off a show off that others may not see.

Looking at all this, Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and took out the dagger.

Although the main city of Seven Blood Eyes is dangerous and cruel, at least there are certain rules. For example, foundation-building monks rarely attack Qi Condensation, but Xu Qing knows that on the sea... only the weak can eat the strong.

Whether it is a foreign race, a human race, or the danger of our sect and the Forbidden Sea itself, it is the same. If you are unlucky and encounter a malicious foreign race with a cultivation level of Foundation Establishment or above, life or death will only depend on the opponent's thoughts. .

Anyone can become an enemy in an instant.

Especially the arrival of these Dharma boats was too ostentatious, and there were voices on board the Phoenix Bird boats that he hated.

The wind on the sea is a bit strong, and the sound blowing is very clear.

"Senior sister, many people are curious about how many spiritual stones I spent on the Fengniao. I am actually not willing to answer this question because my answer will frustrate them. After all, you should also feel it, since you were a child. , for people like us, spiritual stones are just an endless worry. "

"Actually, it's just so-so. I don't know why. I have been asked for my opinion many times on the ranking of boats in the sect's Dharma boats. I must upgrade my boat to seventeenth. I don't care. Anyway, I don't care. Pay attention to these."

"For me, I don't care how many spiritual stones this Phoenix Bird cost, what I care about is that it carries my dream. You see, my dream is to fly in the sky one day like the Phoenix Bird. "

"Senior sister, I hope that there will be a beautiful figure by my side so that we can see the scenery together, pursue our dreams, and talk to each other about our worries."

The voice blown by the sea breeze was none other than Zhao Zhongheng, whom the captain said was like a straw bag.

He stood on the golden Phoenix Bird, and beside him was a young woman wearing a lavender robe.

This woman was twenty years old and had a charming appearance. From a distance, she looked slim and graceful, and her purple robe looked like a flower.

However, facing Zhao Zhongheng's words, she frowned slightly, and her pretty face showed a sign of impatience.

At this moment, the sea breeze was blowing, and her purple skirt was dancing in the wind. She seemed to notice Xu Qing on the Dharma boat in the distance.

Under the sun, between the two arks, a baleen whale broke through the water and rose into the sky.

A low moan that seemed to come from ancient times came out from its mouth, reverberating like the sound of a flute, seeming to make everything ethereal.

As it fell, the water vapor dispersed, obscuring his vision.

In the woman's eyes, the sunlight seemed to be separated into seven colors, and the colorful beams of light appeared brilliant for a moment, reflecting on Xu Qing's Taoist robe, making her face unclear.

But that charm left a deep impression on this woman.

Until, their Dharma boat slowly moved away.

Xu Qing stared at them for a long time, and after confirming that they were indeed just passing by, he put the dagger away and continued practicing.

Time passed. Gradually, during this practice, as the Dharma Boat continued to deepen, the splendor and strangeness of the Forbidden Sea slowly entered Xu Qing's perception.

He saw groups of rotten fish, which seemed to have retained their will in life, turning into black pollution and spreading under the Dharma Ark.

He also saw the terrifying figure of the megalodon, tearing apart its prey with incomparable ferocity.

In addition, there are some areas on the sea. When Xu Qing passed by, he felt the intimidating power from the bottom of the sea, which seemed to spread out all the time, lingering in that area and permeating Xu Qing's heart, making him vigilant. Deeper.

Although he had seen this situation from sea records and knew that this was the norm when going to sea, his vigilance was still strong.

And the heterogeneity is extremely strong in this forbidden sea, as if the entire sea is transformed by the heterogeneity. This makes Xu Qing's shadow become darker than before, as if it has turned into ink, with a feeling of flowing by itself...

After noticing this scene, Xu Qing did not hesitate, and directly used the suppressive power of the purple crystal, suppressing it several times in a row. After the shadow suppressed the shadow, he stopped calmly, feeling slightly relieved about the shadow in his heart.

Just like that, the sunset is approaching, and Xu Qing's first dark night at sea is coming.

Perhaps because this sea area is very close to Seven Blood Pupils, Xu Qing did not encounter too many dangers while sailing during the day.

Only in the setting sun at this moment, some aggressive swordfish appeared on the sea surface. They jumped up in groups, turned into arcs, and then fell into the sea again.

In the afterglow, their green bodies glowed with white light, giving them a different kind of beauty.

Perhaps because of the Forbidden Sea Dragon Whale following him, most of these swordfish did not get too close to Xu Qing, but occasionally there would still be a few that hit the protection of the Dharma Boat and bounced back into the sea with a banging sound.

Seeing the swordfish hitting the protective layer, Xu Qing could see it more clearly at such a close distance.

These swordfish have sharp teeth and look very ferocious, with a red light in their eyes that is ferocious.

Xu Qing waved his hand expressionlessly, and droplets of water formed, penetrating outside the protective layer and turning into a buffer, so that the swordfish that collided would not be killed by a head-on collision.

Haizhiguan has reminded all Seventh Peak disciples who go to sea that when sailing in the Forbidden Sea, it is best not to kill too many sea beasts if it is not necessary, because the more you kill, the more you will attract the attention of some strange beings in the Forbidden Sea.

As for what kind of strange existence it was, Haizhi did not say anything, but on the first night at sea, Xu Qing did not practice all night. All his attention was placed outside the Dharma boat, and any disturbance made him extremely vigilant.

According to Haizhi's description, the sea at night is much more dangerous than during the day.

On the sea, everything is possible.

Although it is mentioned in the sea history, due to the vastness of the Forbidden Sea, although there are many dangers, it mostly depends on luck. Some people are unlucky and die in the sea on the first day, while some are lucky and are safe and sound after being at sea for several months.

Xu Qing's luck was pretty good. On the first night, except for the sound of waves and the whimpering of the sea breeze, nothing strange happened outside.

Until dawn was about to come, he closed his eyes slightly, preparing to relax his mind, but at this moment, a heart palpitating feeling that was as strong as the limit, like a volcano erupting, suddenly roared in his mind.

Xu Qing's body tensed suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and the protection of the magic boat was activated to the maximum extent.

As he opened his eyes, there was also the Forbidden Sea Dragon Whale under the cabin.

The dragon whale's eyes were an extension of Xu Qing's senses. When he opened them, there was nothing on the dark seabed, but there were faint sounds like grinding teeth.

Click, click!

As the sound reverberated, Xu Qing's breathing became slightly hurried due to strong heart palpitations. Just like when he heard the singing in the forbidden jungle, the cold feeling seemed to spread from the depths of the sea to the surface of the sea.

This scene made Xu Qing's expression condense, his whole body tensed up, his cultivation was running, and Fa Zhou instantly took a defensive stance.

Gradually, Xu Qing looked alert, and with the help of the dragon whale's gaze, he saw a huge humanoid creature from a distance in the dark depths of the sea.

The creature's body was covered with tentacles, which were swaying constantly. On his shoulders, he also carried a thick iron chain. The iron chain spread to the distance, and could be vaguely seen. At the end was a bronze dragon chariot.

This dragon chariot is dilapidated, covered with patina and traces of time, but the tall body and the exquisite and majestic carvings give it an imperial look.

At this moment, the giant pulled the bronze dragon chariot and took long strides on the sea floor, step by step away. With each step, the sea stirred up silt currents and spread the waves.

It seemed that it was just passing through this sea area, and because it was too far away, everything Xu Qing saw was hazy, but the palpitations and the sound of grinding teeth, even at such a distance, still clearly echoed in Xu Qing's mind, making His whole body trembled instinctively, his pupils shrank, and he was extremely alert.

It was not until this huge humanoid creature slowly moved away that the trembling sensation gradually weakened and the heart palpitations slowly disappeared.

"What is that?" Xu Qing raised his head suddenly, took a deep breath with a pale face, walked out of the cabin, stood at the bow of the ship, and looked at the sea in the dawn.

In the eyes of the underwater dragon whale, the huge figure on the bottom of the sea has disappeared, leaving only a vague outline.

At this moment, the darkness before dawn gradually receded between the sky and the earth, and a gleam of light slowly emerged between the sea and the sky.

Like a lit torch, burning the dark sea water, forming deep clouds, burning more and more intensely, spreading continuously.

In the end, the entire sky was burned into a red glow.

This is the dawn.
