Outside Of Time

Chapter 1007 Yesterday’s Splendor, the Wind and Crops Are Fully Grown (1)

”He fell down again.”

The heir squatted outside the pit and calmly spoke.

Xu Qing stayed in the pit and didnʼt make a sound. He lowered his head and glanced at the place he was at.

This was a hollow cave abode.

It was already abandoned.

There were many cave abodes like this in the Bitter Life Mountain Range. Most of them were places of refuge dug out by cultivators from ancient times.

One couldnʼt see it from outside. Only someone with Xu Qingʼs weight could personally experience these caves that were not far from the surface.

”There are many similar caves in this mountain range. Youʼll have to crawl out of them.”

Outside the pit, the heir glanced at Xu Qing, feeling a sense of relief in his heart. Seeing Xu Qing in such a disordered state seemed to evoke an inexplicable warmth in him.

This reminded him of when he was young, when his father tied the sun to his waist and he fell down as he walked.

”Heʼs missing a hat.”

The heir muttered to himself. When he was young, not only did he have the sun on his waist, but he also had a hat on his head that put a load on his soul.

Seeing that Xu Qing didnʼt, the heir felt some regret.

Xu Qing lifted his head in the deep pit and glanced at the heir. He silently circulated the other nascent souls in his body other than the Purple Moon to share the pressure and weight from the sun.

He crawled out bit by bit.

This feeling was like he wanted to rise into the air with all his might, but the envelopment of the sunʼs power put an extreme burden on him. Even if he went all out, he could only barely maintain his balance.

Xu Qing wasnʼt unfamiliar with such an experience.

Back then, he had a similar feeling in the Fenghai Countyʼs Prison Department. However, at that time, he was being squeezed by a small world.

From the name, it looked like the small world would be heavier than this sun iron ball. However, Xu Qingʼs instinct told him that it was exactly the opposite.

This reminded him of what the captain had told him about the origins of the sun iron ball.

This was the first man-made sun in the Moon Worship Region. It came from the era of the ruler and a long time had passed since then. As for who created it, there were no records.

”Experience the suppression of this little thing properly. This is a toy given to me by the ancient sovereign back then.” The heir looked at Xu Qing, who had climbed out with great difficulty, and calmly spoke.

When Xu Qing heard this, he lowered his head and glanced at the iron ball on his waist.

”Senior, other than this pressure and weight, does this item possess any other effects?”

The heir stood up and walked forward. His voice drifted over.

”Back then, when it was still a star, it had other powers. It could use the immortal net that enveloped the entire Wanggu Continent to release destructive power. As for now… with the departure of the ancient sovereign and the collapse of the immortal net, its effect has become weak.”

His voice was filled with reminiscence, containing the vicissitudes of time.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought and followed behind. The entire way… explosions rang out.

The wind howled, following the two as they went away, also carrying their voices in all directions, blending into the surroundings.

”Senior, I heard that the place the ancient sovereign went to is called holy land?”

”Is a place where a group of cowards gather worthy of being called holy? The ancient sovereign… became old, and once one is old, they start cherishing their lives.”

”Oh, then where is the land of cowards?”

”Haha, according to the human calendar, every year on the twelfth of June, if you look to the north in the sky, there will be a star different from usual. Thatʼs the nearest cowardʼs land to Wanggu.”

”How many land of cowards are there?”

”There are as many as the number of ancient sovereigns and rulers who left. If you count them, with all the races combined, there are over a hundred. The ancient sovereign also offered one to my father, but we refused.”

The night accompanied the roar, mixed with the words of an old and a young person, gradually fading away.

The morning arrived.

The spreading of the Red Moonʼs light on the horizon, although bringing the countdown to demise to the world, ultimately brought a different light to the sky of the Moon Worship Region.

Even if it was blood light.

So, in the early morning, the Bitter Life Mountain Range, after the emergence of magical lights in several areas, also took on a faint blood-red hue.

With the help of this faint light, one could see the end of the Bitter Life Mountain Range. There was a special mountain there.

This mountain was as high as the mountains of the Bitter Life Mountain Range, connected to it, but as Xu Qing approached, he noticed that this mountainous structure seemed not to be a mountain.

It was more like a huge tree that had turned into a mountain.

Below the tree crown, everything was drowned in the desert. As for the tree crown, it was filled with sand and rocks, turning into a mountain peak.

”This tree is called the Joyful Travel Tree. It can be considered one of the mutant trees from primordial times,” the heir said calmly as he looked at the mountain formed by the giant tree.

”Trees like this are abundant in the region, and not many people pay much attention. Even fewer know that this particular one was planted in secret by my third sister.

Back then, I was the one who accompanied her here to bear witness.

But now… things have changed. This tree has also withered for many years.”

Xu Qing looked at the mountain in the distance. He noticed that in the surroundings of the mountain, there were some red-robed practitioners circling around like flies, as though they were investigating.

Most of them were Nascent Soul cultivators, there was also a Dao Nurturing expert, and a Spirit Repository.

They came from the Shrine of the Red Moon in the Bitter Life Mountain Range.

”There was originally a Nihility divine envoy, but he should have been eaten by Third Sister.”

”Iʼll leave the rest for you to experience your own authority.”

”When Third Sister and I come out, I hope you have already cleaned them up.”

As the heir spoke, his body blurred and he disappeared from Xu Qingʼs side, entering the mountain ahead.

Xu Qing cast a quick look at the iron ball on his waist and closed his eyes. At the next instant, as the Purple Moonʼs power circulated, drops of blood spread out from his body, enveloping the surroundings. Very soon, Xu Qingʼs entire person transformed into a blood-red vortex.
