Outside of Time [Webnovel]

Wanggu, Liaoxuan County.

This county belonged to the human race in ancient times and was one of the outer counties of the human race’s Grand Imperial Capital Region.

It was once famous in Wanggu for producing the liaoxuan fruits that had a great effect on comprehending the laws.

However, when the fragmented-face arrived, calamity descended and the divine aura invaded the world, changing everything. Not only did the liaoxuan fruits disappear from then on, but for some reason, this county was invaded extremely seriously.

The density of anomalous substances in this county was several times denser than elsewhere.

As such, it was no longer suitable for native races to live in and gradually became a desolate place.

Only mutated beasts born from anomalous substances and bizarre entities stayed here.

As for the races that originally belonged to this place, they had all migrated to the surrounding areas, constantly plagued by these mutated beasts and bizarre entities.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave. Even though the world was vast, these small races had nowhere to go. After all, places with lesser anomalous substances all had owners.

They might as well stay here. Although there was a certain degree of danger, at least there wasn’t much treachery, so they could barely protect themselves.

Moreover, the location of this county was special. It neighbored the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven and the human race and naturally became a buffer zone for the two races. This allowed these small races to gain certain benefits in this gap.

At that moment, in the western part of Liaoxuan County, three figures walked out of an endless stretch of desolate mountains – one man and two women.

These three weren’t humans but they looked similar to humans, but they had fleshy wings on their backs and a third eye on their foreheads.

The cultivator at the front was a youth dressed in a black robe embroidered with golden threads. As he moved forward, his robe fluttered, and the golden threads within it shimmered, passively tearing faint rifts in the surrounding space.

This showed how extraordinary the robe was.

Wherever he passed, there would be an icy wind, as though he was an emissary from the dark abyss.

His figure was tall and sturdy, towering over ordinary people by a considerable margin, resembling a mountain, giving off a sense of oppression. His face was stern, with a jawline as sharp as a knife’s edge, highlighting an unparalleled determination and ruthlessness.

His eyes were deep, like the dark night sky, but within those depths flickered a cunning, cold, and ruthless light, making it difficult for anyone to gaze directly into them.

While moving forward, he played with a red eyeball in his hand. That eyeball was bloodshot and was struggling with all its might. It kept flickering with red light and letting out sharp wails.

However, it couldn’t break free from the youth’s hands.

If there were native cultivators around, they would definitely recognize at a glance that this eyeball was the notorious bizarre eye demon.

This demon was good at escaping and it was hard to track. It also possessed a talent that targeted the soul. Usually, even Nihility cultivators would frown when they encountered it.

But now… in the hands of the youth, it was actually in such a miserable state. After wailing a few times, it was crushed by the youth.

“The aura in this dirty wasteland is nauseating. I can’t believe that this is our holy land’s origin. I am sure the races here are a group of dirty reptiles, not much different from livestock.”

The youth seemed to be in a bad mood as he coldly spoke.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice rang out from behind him.

“Fellow Daoist Feng, your words are too harsh. You know well that this place is like this due to the presence of Desolate. Back then, the holy lands of the various factions had no choice but to leave, and most of the native races here can find the source of their bloodlines in the holy lands.”

“It’s just that we’re in the sky and they’re on the ground. They’re already isolated and it’s difficult for them to survive. Your lofty words are a little too much.”

The person who spoke was the woman on the right behind the youth.

This woman had a graceful figure and the wings on her back were silver. Her skin was fair and flawless like jade, emitting a faint pink luster.

She wore the same black robe embroidered with gold, but it gave off a different feeling on her. Coupled with her ethereal appearance, she seemed like a fairy from a painting, ethereal and misty.

With brows like distant mountains, delicate and slender, her eyes were clear and bright, like rippling water, emanating a calm light. Looking at them, one couldn’t help but feel affectionate, yet also hesitant to covet.

The youth was about to retort but it was obvious that he was a little afraid of his companion. In the end, he didn’t speak. He only raised his head and looked at the high and mighty fragmented-face in the sky.

However, the other woman on his left chuckled.

“Fellow Daoist Yue Dong, you’re wrong. Back then, although the Great Emperors and Emperors of the various races left, all the qualified people followed them. Those who remained were merely commoners or sinners.”

“And yet, commoners remain commoners. It’s interesting how they’ve managed to thrive under the influence of this divine aura for thousands of years. If you feel compassion, why not find a commoner here to cultivate with? Leaving behind more descendants would fulfill your compassionate intentions.”

The face of the woman who spoke was as beautiful as a flower, her long black hair flowing like water. What caught the most attention was her slender waist, graceful like a willow branch, adding a touch of allure

Her long jade legs were faintly visible beneath the dark robe, adding to her allure.

However, her words were filled with mockery.

Yue Dong’s eyes turned cold.

“Lan Yao, do you want to die?”

An energy fluctuation of the Soul Accumulation rose from her body. As for the woman named Lan Yao, her eyes also emitted killing intent. Her cultivation erupted and she was also at the Soul Accumulation Realm!

However, there was something peculiar; both seemed to be at one world stage, yet were somehow not one world, as if the world was sealed in some way.

Seeing the two women facing each other, the youth frowned and looked at Yue Dong as he coldly spoke.

“Fellow Daoist Yue Dong, our descent this time is a joint effort of multiple holy lands. We are here to carry out the orders of our Holy Lord and set up guide nodes in different areas from the other holy lands’ people. By stirring up trouble like this, do you perhaps have ulterior motives?!”

“Don’t blame me for not warning you in advance. If you do such a thing again on the way, Fellow Daoist Lan Yao and 1 might have to capture you.”

As soon as the voice rang out, a chill spread out and actually transformed into illusory small flags in the surroundings, causing the color of the sky and earth to change. It was a sign that a divine power restriction had been formed.

As for Lan Yao, she smiled and grabbed at the air. Rainbow colored sand appeared out of thin air and transformed into a vortex that circled the sky.

The aura was majestic and spread for tens of thousands of feet, as though it could pour down at any moment.

Seeing this, Yue Dong, who was locked onto by the two of them, narrowed her eyes and calmly spoke.

“Since our paths are different, let’s split up and carry out the orders of the Holy Lord. I’ll complete my share myself.”

Yue Dong’s body blurred and she appeared in the distance the next instant, disappearing in a flash.

Glancing in the direction Yue Dong had left in, Feng and Lan Yao looked at each other.

“She’s quite tactful. She took the initiative to leave and saved me some effort. Otherwise, with her personality, she would definitely obstruct me from what happens next.” Feng sneered.

“Fellow Daoist Feng, I’ve already helped you drive away Yue Dong. But if what you told me before coming here turns out to be false, 1 won’t be pleased.” Lan Yao smiled sweetly at Feng.

However, her eyes were filled with coldness.

“You can rest assured. If it wasn’t for the fact that I found out about this secret in an ancient book passed down in my family, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to join the Holy Lord’s mission this time. After all, there are gods here.”

Feng raised his head and looked at the fragmented-face again. After that, he looked at the woman in front of him.

“Besides, I’ve also shown you the evidence. Also, with your Dao companion’s status in my race’s holy land, how could I dare to lie to you?”

Lan Yao’s smile was still there. She nodded when she heard this.

“Alright, let’s set off quickly. I’ve already learned a portion of the outside world’s information through this mixed beast and know that there are some servant races nearby. The thing we’re going to do will be smoother if it’s a blood sacrifice.”

At this point, Feng’s eyes revealed a hint of anticipation as he strode forward. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and his gaze flickered.

“By the way, if Yue Dong secretly follows us and obstructs our actions, Fellow Daoist Lan Yao, you know what to do, right?”

“I’ll handle her myself.”

Lan Yao smiled and gracefully stepped forward. Very soon, the two of them disappeared.

At the same time, in the hundred-odd regions of the Wanggu Continent, the other meteorites had already landed. From them, a different number of cultivators walked out. They immediately spread out and completed the missions of their respective holy lands one after another.

Of course, there were also people with other thoughts. However, no matter what, they had to complete the orders of their respective holy lands and arrange many guide points to make their future actions smooth.

After all, this concerned whether they could leave…

Divine restriction made it that they could enter but not leave.

However, it was obvious that they had something to rely on to dare to come.

In fact, it was unknown if some races had long known about these things and secretly helped.

In short, as these hundred or so meteorites that were like an advance army landed, undercurrents surged in the entire Wanggu…

However, these undercurrents didn’t affect the grand ceremony held by the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race on the Divine Mountain.

As waves of rumbling echoed and countless auspicious signs bloomed in the sky, the light of the Divine mountain flickered. Bells rang out and cheers erupted from all directions. The ceremony had officially begun.

The three magistrates floated in front of the statues of the three gods on the Divine Mountain, emitting a vast might. Their backs were against the statues and in front of them was the vast number of Flame Moon Race members.

These clansmen were divided into three groups and were ranked according to their cultivation and status. Each of them had kings and marquises and there were as many experts as the clouds. From this, one could see how terrifying Flame Moon’s foundation as one of the top races in the Wanggu Continent was.

There were even more people outside. All the higher-ups and core members of the affiliated races arrived grandly. The aura formed by all of them caused the sky and earth to change color and wind to stir.

Further away were the surrounding cultivators. They didn’t have the qualifications to get too close but since they could watch the grand ceremony from afar, they all felt that this trip wasn’t in vain.

This was the Flame Moon’s ceremony. There were no complicated rituals or luxurious offerings. Everything was simple and domineering.

At that moment, a divine priest first worshiped the gods. After that, an official representing the magistrates read a decree. His words were filled with encouragement as they echoed through the world.

As for Xu Qing and the captain, they had changed their appearances and were hiding among the surrounding cultivators. They were looking at the grand ceremony in the distance and listening to the decree while transmitting voices to each other.

“Little Qing, have you thought it through?”

“Mm, I have to obtain the Grand Mystic Heaven no matter what.” A sharp glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes as he calmly replied.

On the way here, he already had a plan in his mind and was about to fly out. However, at this moment, the words of the official who was reading the decree changed.

“Next is about this time’s Flame Moon Grand Hunt!”

“The first segment of the hunt, Moving Mountains: Human race’s Xu Qing, in first place!”

“The second segment of the hunt, Mountains and Seas Region: Human race’s Xu Qing, in first place!”

“The third segment of the hunt, Divine Realm: Human race’s Xu Qing, in first place!”

“Through the approval of the gods, Xu Qing shall be bestowed the title of Grand Mystic Heaven!”

“Xu Qing, hurry up and come forward to meet the three magistrates!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings were in an uproar. Although everyone already knew about the first and second segments, not everyone knew the details of the matters in the Divine Realm.

Hence, when they heard these words, they naturally caused a commotion.

Xu Qing blinked.

“Looks like that hairpin of yours is quite useful.”

The captain chuckled..
