Outside of Time

Chapter 843: The Fourth Blasphemous Statue

On the vast land, there are majestic and majestic mountains and winding mountains. It seems that someone splashed ink on the rice paper, forming a majestic landscape painting.

And among these mountains, there is one peak that is unique and majestic, dominating the other mountains.

That is the sacred top where Yanyue Xuantian lives, the sacred mountain!

It is like an ink pen between heaven and earth, sharp and straight, pointing straight to the sky.

Countless white clouds shuttled under its feet, like Penglai Island, suspended in the sky.

Under the sunlight, the rocks and trees on the mountain peak shine, making it even more majestic and brilliant.

In particular, the outline of the mountain is extremely vivid against the sky, giving people a strong shock whether it is viewed from a distance or up close.

Before they even got close, the overwhelming momentum rushed towards them.

It is obviously just a mountain, but it stands there, as if the sky is dimmed in front of it, as if this mountain can press the sky under it if it is willing.

Xu Qing saw this kind of momentum for the first time even though he had traveled through many areas.

It is the pinnacle of excellence, the pride that stands in the sky.

There is even more golden light that spreads out in this sacred mountain. It is not known whether it is contained in itself or whether it is exaggerated by the sunlight, spreading across the sky and covering the earth.

Xu Qing felt it slightly and looked deeply.

He felt that this golden light contained the power from the gods!

This power is also heterogeneous to a certain extent, but it is controllable. It seems to be tamed, wandering in all directions, and can be absorbed normally.

Xu Qing took a breath and turned into the power of cultivation in his body.

This scene made him a little moved.

The captain was beside Xu Qing, looking at all this from a distance, with a trace of reminiscence in his expression, forming a sigh of relief.

"Come here again..."

He whispered in a soft voice that only Xu Qing could hear.

"Let's go, little junior brother, go and see the pinnacle of the Yanyue Xuantian Clan."

The captain patted Xu Qing's shoulder.

Xu Qing suppressed the turmoil in his heart and looked up at the more than 1,800 forbidden mountains above his head.

These forbidden mountains are rapidly shrinking as they approach the sacred mountain. At this moment, each one is like a black dot, surrounding its head.

Although the change was very small, the large number still made Xu Qing very eye-catching.

"With such a quantity, it should be number one."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart, his body speed did not slow down, he turned into a rainbow and headed straight towards the mountains.

As it got closer, the sacred mountain grew bigger and bigger in Xu Qing's eyes, and finally the end above could no longer be seen, and the feeling of insignificance arose uncontrollably.

Under the sacred mountain, three suspended cities are built.

Each one is extremely vast and connected to each other by golden iron chains. A large amount of vegetation grows inside, showing the vicissitudes of life.

These three cities are mainly round in shape. This is the architectural style of various ethnic groups in the Xuanyou Ancient Emperor era. It is rare today, and even the human race does not retain much of it.

"This is the holy city of our Yanyue Xuantian clan, and its name is Tianyan City!"

Qiu Quezi, who was following Xu Qing and the captain, sounded a little excited. It was obvious that even he was not qualified to come here on weekdays.

"Only for big hunting and special ceremonies, Tianyan City will be open to the outside world and allow all ethnic groups to enter. I am lucky enough to have been here three times, and now this is the fourth time."

"Flying is not allowed in Tianyan City, and all arrivals must be pilgrims."

Qiu Quezi spoke in a low voice and introduced the rules of Tianyan City to Xu Qing and the captain. At the same time, the figures of the three of them gradually approached one of the cities.

From a distance, it can be seen that the city is bustling with people and there are many monks. According to Qiu Quezi's introduction, most of these are outsiders. Most of the monks who are truly qualified to live in the Holy City all year round are temple cultivators.

The arrival of Xu Qing and the others immediately attracted the attention of many monks in the city.

It's really... Humans are extremely rare here.

Not to mention Xu Qing's current fame and the ban battle with Tuoshi Mountain, all of which made Xu Qing's arrival naturally attract attention.

In addition, the more than a thousand peaks above its head are also the focus of attention.

Xu Qing was used to this. As the figure landed in front of the city gate, his eyes showed a bright light. He took a deep breath and stepped towards the gate in front.

The gate of the city is naturally not prepared for humans, so it is hundreds of feet high, and the same is true for everything in the city. Walking here is like walking into the country of giants.

As for the monks here... Xu Qing just glanced at them and saw hundreds of different ethnic groups with different shapes, and some strange-looking ones abounded.

The monks of Yanyue Xuantian's clan, who are relatively rare in the outside world, are the mainstream here.

Most of their figures are covered in white robes, and wherever they appear, they will arouse respect from all around.

That kind of aloof attitude doesn't need them to show it deliberately, it just exists naturally.

"I hated this gesture back then."

The captain muttered.

Xu Qing didn't speak, and didn't pay attention to the scrutinizing and hostile looks from all directions. He had more important things to do.

That is...Jiaoshan!

Go to the Holy Mountain and blend your own forbidden mountains there to determine your ranking.

So he glanced at Qiu Quezi.

Qiu Quezi followed him all the way, having pondered and observed many times. At this moment, he immediately understood the meaning of Xu Qing's gaze, walked a few steps quickly, and led the way.

In this way, with the gazes of the surrounding passers-by gathered, Xu Qing and the three of them walked forward in the holy city. Naturally, some gossips were inevitable during the process. Even halfway through, a monk from the Yanyue Xuantian Clan came out and directly challenged them on the street.

Obviously, Yan Yue was dissatisfied with the fact that the human race had obtained so many forbidden mountains in the first stage.

Regarding these, Xu Qing just glanced at them, and after confirming that there was no mountain above the opponent's head, he directly chose to ignore them.

After a few hours, as the light of the setting sun fell in the distance, the sacred mountain... appeared in front of Xu Qing and the others.

Nine huge iron chains connected the city where they were and the sacred mountain.

Following the iron chain, you can see that at the other end of the sacred mountain is a vast square built of blue boulders, where there are three huge statues of gods.

Represents the sun, moon and stars.

After the three statues, there is a staircase that reaches the unseen peak of the mountain.

"There are three roads to the sacred mountain, which can be reached from all three cities, so there are also three sacred sites like the one in front."

Qiu Quezi introduced in a low voice.

Xu Qing nodded. Standing at this end of the city, he looked away from the sacred mountain and looked under the iron chain, where there was a bottomless abyss.

At this moment, the wind blew and the iron chains swayed. Xu Qing took the first step, stepped on one, and headed straight to the sacred mountain.

The captain thought for a while and chose the same option as Xu Qing.

Qiu Quezi was stunned for a moment, and simply chose this one. Soon the three figures walked along the iron chain, amidst the roar of the mountain wind, and completed the entire walk.

There were no obstacles on the way.

Until he stepped out of the iron chain and stood in the Shenshan Square, the statues of the three gods standing here became more and more clearly visible to Xu Qing's eyes.

The first statue is the God of Sun Flame. Its shape is indistinguishable from male to female. The body looks like a woman, but the face has the appearance of a man. The sun rises all the way behind it, and countless ethnic groups and evil ghosts are mournful under its feet.

Its eyes are also closed.

The second statue is familiar to Xu Qing. It is the God of Moon Flame. However, the figure in the sculpture gives people a sense of astonishment. However, his expression is as cold as an iceberg. It is different from the appearance of Chi Mu in Xu Qing's memory. Much the same.

There is a moon ring behind it, forming a cold moonlight, which shines on the divine body, making it sacred.

As for the third figure, Xu Qing was more familiar with it...it was a clay fox, with stars shining behind him, and his whole body exuding charm, making it difficult for people to look away after just one glance.

What attracted Xu Qing's most attention was not the statues of the three gods, but... the fourth statue.

It was a faceless sculpture, kneeling down right in front of the statue of Lord Moon Flame. It was covered in whip marks, riddled with holes, and had countless sharp blades stuck in it...

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be hated to the core by the Moon Flame God, who punished him by kneeling here and suffering humiliation for eternity.

Looking at this statue, the captain blinked.

Qiu Quezi, who was on the side, noticed Xu Qing's eyes falling on the fourth statue, so he quickly spoke in a low voice.

"The origin of this statue is mysterious. It existed a long time ago. It is called a blasphemer by our people. Legend has it that he blasphemed the Moon Flame Lord and committed a heinous crime. He was an unforgivable person. He was killed by the Sun Flame Lord himself and then transformed into a human body. Make three copies and kneel in front of the statues in the three sacred places."

“Set as a warning to others.”

"Especially the Moon Flame Temple. I heard that there is a description of this matter in their teachings. There is even a festival in the Moon Flame Temple that specifically spurns those who blaspheme."

Xu Qing was silent and glanced at the captain.

The captain's expression was as usual, without any change. He even looked like he was listening carefully. He noticed Xu Qing's gaze and curiously looked at the fourth statue kneeling there.

Naturally, Qiu Quezi couldn't understand Xu Qing and the captain's feelings at this moment, so he followed the previous introduction and said another sentence.

"By the way, there is another rule for the Holy Mountain and the three holy cities."

"That is, cows are not allowed to appear. This is a taboo. I don't know why there is such a rule. But as long as they appear, they will die miserably. Even some ethnic groups related to cows have been almost wiped out by the Moon Flame Temple in recent years. "

Xu Qing looked at the captain again.

The captain shamelessly continued to be curious.

Qiu Quezi spoke again.

"Also, those with the word "ox" in their names are also taboo here and cannot be known to others. By the way, fellow Taoists, you don't have the word "ox" in your names, right?"

Along the way, he knew that Xu Qing was Xu Qing, but he didn't know much about Chen Erniu. He only knew that he was Xu Qing's senior brother.

Xu Qing shook his head and looked at the captain again.

The captain coughed and shook his head quickly. Qiu Quezi didn't think much and was about to continue talking.

"besides……"

Seeing this, the captain finally couldn't pretend anymore and glared at Qiu Quezi.

"Okay, hurry up and lead the way, why are you talking so much nonsense!"
