Beyond the Timescape [Wuxiaworld]

The moment the bag entered the secret trove, it opened, and a chunk of Crimson Mother’s flesh flew out. It was a clump of fleshy feathers covered with blood, which emanated a glow that was a mixture of golden and red. It instantly erupted with boundless godly might. Heaven and earth blurred. All living things distorted. Everything shook as gale force winds blew.

The sun in Xu Qing’s secret trove was currently the golden crow in its original form. It released a piercing cry that echoed throughout the secret trove, filled with unprecedented longing. At the same time, the violet moon blurred, vibrating as the flesh tugged at it. The fact that they had the same origin resulted in a common resonance. The Ghost Emperor mountain made up the lands in the secret trove, and the arrival of the chunk of flesh caused those lands to tremble. Daybreak light flickered dazzlingly. The power of taboo poison, D-132, and the timescape bottle all stirred, filling the world of the secret trove with tempest-like winds.

Xu Qing’s secret trove rumbled loudly as everything that made it up erupted, and transformation began.

It was all because of the chunk of flesh. The moment the flesh landed on the ground, a sound like a bell filled the world, echoing in every corner of the secret trove. Crimson Mother was a High God, with the ability to change the face of heaven and earth. Even though that chunk of flesh was very small, it still contained terrifyingly majestic power. Ordinary magics couldn’t be used to absorb it, and thus, ordinary cultivators couldn’t pay the price to do so. Even a Void Returning expert who did so would need to take things very slowly.

That said, it would be incredibly helpful. In fact, a fourth-stage Void Returning expert who absorbed this piece of Crimson Mother’s flesh would instantly break through all barriers and likely step into the Smoldering God level.

Although Xu Qing was only in the first stage of Spirit Trove, his secret trove was anything but ordinary! It contained the violet moon, which already had the same origin as Crimson Mother. Plus he had the taboo poison, which had an even higher level of personhood. The overall structure of his secret trove surpassed anything that an ordinary person could compare to. And thus, Xu Qing experienced something very unique.

That wasn’t even to mention his heavenly dao, which had close ties to one of the 100 ancient heavenly daos. In fact, as the heavenly dao bluegreen dragon appeared, it spread out, covered with flames as it served as the world’s furnace. Added in was the blessing of the violet moon and the taboo poison, as well as the power of all living beings in the world.

The burning of the furnace caused Crimson Mother’s feathery flesh to slowly start melting, releasing pulses of terrifying power that nourished the secret trove! It was the power of essence! Every aspect of Crimson Mother’s flesh and blood turned into pure essence.

The golden crow went wild to absorb it. The Ghost Emperor mountain trembled as it did the same. Everything else the world also joined in. To Xu Qing’s secret trove, that flesh was a massive destined opportunity, a massive good fortune, and a massive bolstering.

The golden crow’s tail fanned out as it changed colors from black to golden. As it hung high in the secret trove’s canopy of heaven, it was like a golden statue filled with holiness. The lands below also turned golden. It was the same with the mountains and the rivers!

The daybreak light transformed, with its multiple colors changing into something golden. The entire secret trove changed!

At first, the changes were just on the surface. But as Crimson Mother’s flesh burned, those changes went deeper. It was easy to imagine what would happen when Xu Qing fully succeeded. When that happened, his secret trove would be golden from the inside to the outside. Even the fire was turning golden.

When it was complete, it would be different in terms of both substructure and essence. The dramatic process continued.

Xu Qing could sense that, as his secret trove changed, his energy grew more and more majestic, far surpassing anything from before.

My secret trove is changing in a very fascinating way....

Xu Qing struggled to control his breathing as he was struck with the premonition that, when this transformation to his secret trove was complete, he would be on an entirely different level. Except... the process only went on for a short while before it wound down and stopped. The golden color that had overtaken both sky and land started to fade, and everything began to return to its previous state.

Xu Qing frowned as he tried to ascertain why it was happening.

Crimson Mother’s flesh had been half burned away. After that, it wouldn’t burn any more, and the essence resonance was breaking down. Muttering to himself, he looked into the bag and pulled out a second piece of flesh. Everything trembled as the flesh fell into the sea of flames. Nothing changed. Looking down at the two chunks of flesh, Xu Qing realized what was going on.

The fire isn’t strong enough.

As everything in the secret trove rapidly returned to its original state, Xu Qing came up with a way to resolve the situation.

If the fire isn’t strong enough, then I should add some better fuel!

Eyes gleaming, he thought back to how they had dealt with Crimson Mother’s totem on the door of Paramount Temple. Sending out his divine will, he caused chasms to open up in the lands of his secret trove, out of which poured numerous bloodbeasts. Lunging into the fire, they self-detonated.

The explosions resulted in muffled booms that caused the secret trove’s furnace to burn even hotter. At the same time, the fire burned with the color of blood. The beasts were connected to Crimson Mother, and they also were inherently corrosive, so they seemed like the perfect fuel as far as Xu Qing was concerned. Endless streams of the bloodbeasts served as oil, causing the flames to rage madly around the two chunks of flesh.

Only a moment later, the two chunks of flesh disappeared, and massive amounts of essence power swept out into Xu Qing’s secret trove. The color gold appeared everywhere. In the blink of an eye, the exterior layer of everything became gold again. At the same time, the effects seeped deeper. After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Xu Qing’s entire secret trove was golden from inside to out!

A golden secret trove. A golden world! Golden flames flickered, and the power of essence reached a peak level. It was domineering and absolutely paramount!

Just sensing it caused Xu Qing to feel deeply moved.

This was godsource! And it was a godsource that didn’t belong to any god. Īt belonged to Xu Qing, and had been brought about because of him. Īt contained Xu Qing’s energy and life force. Because of īt, Xu Qing’s secret trove rose to a higher level. It went from being a secret trove to a god trove! Places where gods were born were god troves!

Xu Qing’s mind spun as, before he could even examine the god trove closely, the sea of flames pulsed with a domineering godsource that filled the entire god trove.

It was obviously establishing sovereignty. The golden crow bowed its head. The lands did the same. The dome of heaven went silent, and the rivers flowed obediently. The heavenly dao joined, and all the living things approved. Even the god’s finger in D-132 trembled and prostrated obsequiously. Only the violet moon seemed to have a conflict with the godsource, and was forced out of the god trove. Next came the taboo poison mist, which was also driven away by the domineering godsource.

After being upgraded, the world of Xu Qing’s god trove contained godsource created solely by him. Thus, power from any other gods were forced to either submit or leave the god trove.

Xu Qing could sense what was happening, and it caused his heart to pound. He could tell that this god trove belonged solely to him, and that the power vastly surpassed the old version. It was like the difference between a mortal and a cultivator.

So do I cultivate the path of the immortal, or do I cultivate the path of the god? I’m obviously in the Spirit Trove level of the cultivation system. But I have godsource manifested as a god trove! It’s not because of authority, but rather, because of the godsource that was born....

Xu Qing suppressed the shock in his heart and looked at the taboo poison power and violet moon authority that had been ejected.

Regardless, I can sense that I’m stronger thanks to this god trove. In that case... can I make another god trove?

Eyes narrowing, he thought back to when he first gained enlightenment of the red moon authority, and the illusory god trove that had appeared. Later, he merged that authority into his secret trove, where it became moonlight.

With such thoughts on his mind, Xu Qing’s eyes glittered with determination as he took out a third chunk of Crimson Mother’s flesh, which he put into the violet moon. Violet color erupted, accompanied by a thunder rumbling sound. Once again, the same illusory god trove from before appeared. And it was rapidly turning from illusory to corporeal! Although it had no heavenly dao, with Crimson Mother’s flesh and Xu Qing’s violet moon authority being of the same origin, they had no problem fusing together.

Seeing that he was going in the right direction, Xu Qing didn’t hesitate to take out a fourth chunk of flesh. Then a fifth. The god trove trembled as it transformed even more rapidly. Then, as Xu Qing’s energy soared, terrifying fluctuations erupted as the violet moon god trove formed!

This god trove was different from the world of Xu Qing’s first god trove. It contained towering violet light, as well as an indistinct roar as a furnace formed.

As of this moment, Xu Qing was very different from before. He sat cross-legged, his hair whipping about him, two god troves behind him, like god mountains sucking in everything around them.

Within each god trove it was just barely possible to make out a figure seated cross-legged in meditation. The figure in the world of Xu Qing’s first god trove looked divine and holy, bursting with magnificent energy and a domineering air. Within the violet moon god trove, the figure was blurry. It was possible to see flesh and feathers clumped together into wings that slowly flapped. And there was a pair of very cold eyes. It was a ghastly sight that few would stare at directly.

Might as well move on to the third!

Xu Qing’s eyes opened, then filled with pitch black as taboo poison power erupted. Behind him, a poisonous miasma built up.

Xu Qing took out two more chunks of flesh and fed them into the miasma. The poison cloud exploded in all directions. But then the poison exploded with power, and the taboo element surged. Deafening howling sounds swept out in all directions. About an hour later, a pitch black god trove could be seen within the poison mist!

Inside of that god trove was a seated figure, with underworld fire for eyes, and a black suit of armor. It looked like a world-shaking devil. Together with the other two shadowy gods, it would protect whoever was in front of it.

Seated cross-legged up front was an exceedingly attractive young man. His facial expression was cold, and his gaze was hidden in the mist. Black hair swirled around him, and he emanated a faint violet color.

Like an immortal. Like a god.
