Outside of Time [Webnovel]

As Xu Qing spoke, a murderous intent spread out from his body. It was as though a cold wind swept across the square, scattering the coldness in everyone’s hearts.

Regardless of their previous standpoint, since Yue Dong was in charge now, the immortal masters here naturally shared a common enemy and revealed hostility toward Xu Qing.

Killing intent rose in the Yun family’s young master’s heart as well. He wouldn’t allow anyone to hurt Yue Dong.

The envoys had long heard of the grudge between Xue Chenzi and Yue Dong. There was no reason for them to interfere in this. Moreover, they didn’t think that the two sides would really fight to the death here.

At most, they would have a battle.

In addition, even if life and death were to be decided, it would have nothing to

do with them.

Hence, after Yue Dong finished speaking, the envoy from the First Ruler

The other envoys also left. The last to leave was Lin Kun from the Fifth Ruler Mountain.

Before he left, his gaze landed on Xu Qing.

After Xu Qing nodded slightly, Lin Kun smiled and walked out of the Immortal

Arts Hall.

As the various parties left, Xu Qing was the only envoy left. Facing the hostility of these immortal masters and the Yun family’s young master, Xu Qing s expression was as calm as ever.

A cold glint flashed in Yue Dong’s eyes as she calmly spoke.

“You guys can leave too. You’re not allowed to enter without my orders.”

The immortal masters here lowered their heads. Despite their inner thoughts, they had to comply with Yue Dong’s decree, so they all stepped back.

Only the young master of the Yun family didn’t leave. Instead, he walked toward Yue Dong, looking like he wanted to confront Xu Qing with her.

Even Erniu felt helpless against this person.

The other party… had given him too much.

Whether it be due to the items or help, Erniu felt that it wasn’t good to treat

him coldly. Hence, he calmly spoke.

“This is a private matter between Xue Chenzi and me.”

The Yun family’s young master stopped in his tracks. After seeing Yue Dong s determination, he took a deep breath and chose to respect her.

“Alright, I’ll be outside. Dong… you just have to shout and 1’11 come in immediately.”

His gaze was filled with ferocity as he stared at Xu Qing. Only then did he leave reluctantly.

When Xu Qing saw this scene, a strange feeling rose in his heart. After the Yun family’s young master left, only he and Yue Dong were left here. Moreover, after Yue Dong raised her hand and set up an isolation barrier… the strange feeling in Xu Qing’s heart surfaced on his face.

“Little Qing, what kind of expression is that!”

Noticing the expression on Xu Qing’s face, an awkward feeling rose in Erniu’s heart as he glared.

Xu Qing shook his head.

“It’s nothing. Congratulations, Eldest Senior Brother, for snatching the East Demon Feather Immortal Arts Hall and becoming the Great Immortal Master!”

As Xu Qing spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed.

Seeing Xu Qing like this, Erniu didn’t care about his previous expression. At this moment, his heart was filled with pride and smugness as he lifted his chin.

“Your Eldest Senior Brother is merely testing the waters. The position of Great Immortal Master is something I don’t really care about.”

Although he said that, his expression and the way he lifted his chin told Xu

Qing… Come and praise me more.

Xu Qing knew Erniu’s thoughts very well. Hence, after his gaze swept across the other party’s forehead, he thought about it and spoke softly.

“Looking across the entire East Demon Feather, countless people desire to become the Great Immortal Master, but they can only look up in awe, unable to achieve it.”

“From this, it can be seen how outstanding Eldest Senior Brother is. No one can compare to you in the Demon Feather Holy Land.”

Upon hearing this, Erniu burst with joy. To him, being praised by Xu Qing was incomparably comfortable.

Seeing this, Xu Qing glanced at Erniu’s forehead and continued to speak.

“After all, that Great Elder is a Soul Accumulation expert. In particular, wind, rain, lightning, and fire elements are quite powerful…”

At this point, Xu Qing deliberately paused and looked at Erniu.

Erniu spoke proudly and disdainfully.

“That’s nothing. Mine is even more impressive. That old thing uses wind, rain, lightning, and fire, while I use metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Every one of the five elements is a supreme treasure!”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought and continued without showing anything.

“I think Eldest Senior Brother should have used the five elements wood to

become the key for the fusion and refinement.”

Erniu sneered with a knowledgeable posture.

“You don’t understand, right? Wood won’t do. I mainly used metal!

“Metal?” Xu Qing shook his head and put on a questioning expression.

Seeing Xu Qing’s doubts, Erniu couldn’t help but speak.

“Little Qing, you’re ignorant. The metal I used isn’t simple. When you

self-destructed back then…”

When Erniu said this, he suddenly paused. He realized that he had misspoken and his heart trembled. He immediately changed his words.

“After 1 reported my identity, um… this…”

Sweat broke out on Erniu’s forehead. As for Xu Qing, his eyes were shining as he looked at Erniu’s incomprehensible appearance and calmly spoke.

“Eldest Senior Brother, 1 self-destructed back then and?”

Erniu smiled awkwardly and took a few steps back.

Xu Qing took a step forward and instantly tore through the air, appearing in front of Erniu and staring at his forehead.

“Eldest Senior Brother, the thing hidden in your forehead has been giving me the feeling that it comes from the same source as me. This is the metal you mentioned, right?”

Erniu broke out in even more cold sweat. He knew that he couldn’t hide it anymore, so he rolled his eyes and spoke righteously.

“Since you discovered it, I’m also relieved. Back then, when you self-destructed in the human capital, your body turned into ashes, leaving only a little bone dregs. 1 was the one who helped you collect them bit by bit. I went through so much trouble and originally planned to give them to you.”

“However, I was worried that you would feel sad when you saw your remains. Hence, 1 considered not making you sad and planned to keep it as a memento…”

As he spoke, Erniu became more righteous.

“Is it wrong for me to keep it as a memory?!”

Xu Qing looked at Erniu and couldn’t speak for a long time. In the end, his expression looked unsightly as he shook his head.

“Eldest Senior Brother, this cauldron was refined from your previous life, right? No wonder you got beaten to death back then, you take everything.

Erniu felt guilty and was about to speak.

Outside the plaza, there were ripples from the restrictions. It was the Yun family’s young master who was worried and created the fluctuations to ask.

It was only after Erniu transmitted his voice to comfort him that the fluctuations stopped.

Xu Qing glanced in the direction the Yun family’s young master had left in and thought of his Eldest Senior Brother’s actions. Hence, he spoke earnestly.

“Eldest Senior Brother, you have to treat this person… well.”

Erniu’s skin was thick enough, so he pretended not to understand and raised his large hand.

“Let’s not talk about this. Little Qing, there are still a few days before the opening of Great Emperor Nether Flame’s seclusion place. Some time ago, you and… that person went all the way to the West Demon Feather. In that case, that person is that person?”

Erniu hurriedly asked.

Xu Qing nodded.

Erniu took a deep breath.

“As expected, I guessed it. She clearly wanted to monopolize everything from the start. However, Little Qing, you guys went to the West Demon Feather, don’t tell me you only went to challenge and make a name for yourself?

Erniu looked at Xu Qing suspiciously.

“This isn’t the style you and 1 have honed over the years. Shouldn’t you be doing some private work at such a good opportunity?”

Xu Qing blinked.

“I made a trip to the West Demon Feather Immortal Arts Hall.

Erniu’s eyes lit up.

“And?”

“After that, I took a mark.”

Xu Qing flipped his hand and the mark of the Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal appeared in his palm.

Erniu’s eyes instantly widened as he stared at Xu Qing’s palm. His eyes were even brighter than before.

“Haha, you are indeed my little junior brother. Your style is the same as mine. 1 knew it. If you didn’t know how to make use of such an opportunity, you would really be an idiot.”

“This mark… is a treasure!”

Erniu licked his lips.

Xu Qing shook his head.

“Unfortunately, according to my research, that Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal requires a specific ritual and inheritance to obtain it. 1 only have this mark, so 1 can’t grasp it with ordinary methods.”

“Oh? Let me try.” As Erniu spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed at the mark on Xu Qing’s palm. He seemed to have cast an immortal art and the three phantoms behind him raised their hands at the same time.

With this grab, he truly took the mark and pressed it onto his forehead.

After that, under Xu Qing’s attention, Erniu and the phantoms behind him trembled at the same time and closed their eyes.

Clearly, he had sunk into this weakened version of the Five Dogs Sheltering Immortal Art.

After a long moment, Erniu finally opened his eyes, revealing a look of lingering fear. He let out a long breath and handed the mark to Xu Qing.

“Impressive!”

“However, it indeed requires some special inheritance rituals. Otherwise, I can only sense it and not grasp it…”

Erniu frowned and looked at Xu Qing.

“You just said that it’s difficult to master this immortal art using ordinary methods. Then… do you mean that there are abnormal methods?”

A dark glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He stared at the mark in his hand and spoke in a low voice.

“After I returned to the East Demon Feather, I used morning glow to simulate it but 1 failed.”

“However, after that, I had an idea. That is, I have to constantly sense the weaker version of the immortal art in this mark and let it erupt on me time and time again. This will allow my body to slowly withstand it and produce the corresponding antibodies.”

“The principle of antibodies is to remember the characteristics of the invader. The more they understand it, the more comprehensive the antibodies produced.”

“I lack inheritance and a specific ritual, so I can’t take the initiative to learn this immortal art.”

“However, if I use this mark to erupt this immortal art on my body again and again, it will cause my body to have more and more antibodies to this immortal art. When there are enough, my antibodies will gradually gain a comprehensive understanding of this immortal art and memorize it, like an instinctive memory.”

“Through the antibodies, I can instinctively remember this immortal art. In that case, it’s equivalent to me indirectly mastering this art and successfully bypassing the restrictions.”

“As for how I should use it after engraving it to my instincts, the method is to use morning glow.”

“I can use the morning glow to truly display the might of this immortal art because the core would be real.”

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he looked at Erniu.

Erniu’s eyes were wide open as he stared blankly at Xu Qing. After a long time, he took a deep breath and couldn’t help but praise Xu Qing’s thoughts.

“Ingenious and unbelievable.”

“However, it sounds like… it really works!”

Xu Qing nodded and glanced at the restrictions on the square.

“However, the prerequisite for all of this is to ensure that I’m fine under these repeated immortal art eruptions. Although it’s a weakened Five Dogs Immortal Art, this technique is truly bizarre.”

“So, Eldest Senior Brother, 1 have a request.”

“I need you to protect me. Also, if 1 sink into oblivion, at the critical moment, use your authority of the Six Thieves to awaken me from the Five Dogs Immortal Art.”

When Erniu heard this, he nodded with a solemn expression. After that, the two of them discussed. Xu Qing left on the surface while Erniu explained to the outside world. After that, he chose to enter seclusion.

That night, Xu Qing returned.

Just like that, time flowed by as the two of them studied and experimented with immortal arts.

Five days passed.

The major event that was the focus of the entire Demon Feather Holy Land was about to begin as the Demon Feather Great Emperor brought people over from the west. Under the watchful eyes of the Rulers of the East Demon Feather, Lu Lingzi left the mountain…

It was the day of the opening of Great Emperor Nether Flame’s seclusion place!
