Outside of Time [Webnovel]

313 Mystic Nether Ancient Path

Xu Qing knew of Esteemed Master Dongyou’s arrival immediately.

Although the other party didn’t land at Port 176, the entire Seven Blood Eyes’ Homicide Departments were currently under Xu Qing’s leadership to capture and search for Night Dove. He was naturally well-informed.

The matter of capturing Night Dove also eased the conflict between Xu Qing and the other peaks’ Homicide Departments.

After all, regardless of whether it was the contribution or benefits, they were both extremely high. Moreover, almost every time they captured a Night Dove member, they could obtain a lot of spirit stones.

This was also the most important reason why the directors of the Homicide Departments of the other six peaks were willing to listen to Xu Qing’s arrangements.

!!

Otherwise, even if Xu Qing’s combat strength and reputation were great, they could still choose to not obey his instructions properly.

After all, in this world, no one owed anyone anything.

Even though Xu Qing was in the Sequence, it wasn’t like the Sequences hadn’t died for no reason before. They were all characters who had climbed out from the bottom of the sea of blood. To be able to be the director of a division, they didn’t lack intelligence and had many tricks up their sleeves.

However, in the face of benefits, they were all good friends, so it was reasonable for them to inform each other.

When Xu Qing heard this news, he was very vigilant. However, he had already analyzed this matter, so although he was vigilant, it wasn’t enough to affect his daily life.

While Xu Qing was on guard, Xue Lianzi had already invited Esteemed Master Dongyou to the Fourth Peak.

Xue Lianzi came from the Fourth Peak, so he usually resided on the Fourth Peak. After dispersing their subordinates, the two of them, whose cultivation had already reached the almighty realm, discussed serious matters.

When the discussion ended, Esteemed Master Dongyou casually said.

“I heard that during this period of time, my little granddaughter made a friend called Xu Qing in the Seven Blood Eyes. Xu Qing seems to be a good kid. Let me give him a gift.” A faint smile appeared on Esteemed Master Dongyou’s wrinkled face. She took out a jade box and handed it to Xue Lianzi.

Xue Lianzi laughed and didn’t pretend like he was ignorant. At their cultivation level, many things were handled very cleverly. For example, Esteemed Master Dongyou didn’t ask any further about this, but the gift she gave already showed her stance.

Xue Lianzi naturally was aware of it and took the gift. While the two were chatting, a whistling sound came from outside. Very soon, Yanyan, who had just been released, rushed in.

After experiencing these periods of recuperation, she had already recovered from her previous injuries. Moreover, she didn’t look aggrieved at all. At this moment, when she saw her grandmother, her eyes lit up. She quickly walked over and hugged Esteemed Master Dongyou’s arm as she spoke in a coquettish voice.

“Grandma, why are you here?”

Esteemed Master Dongyou’s gaze landed on her granddaughter. She sensed that her granddaughter was fine, so she smiled slightly. However, her heart still ached when she thought of the hardships her granddaughter had suffered these few days. She was actually a little dissatisfied with Xu Qing. She gently touched Yanyan’s head and was about to speak.

However, Yan Yan spoke first and made an astonishing announcement.

“Grandma, I want to marry Xu Qing!”

Esteemed Master Dongyou was stunned. She knew about her granddaughter’s problem. Since she knew it clearly, she felt even more incredulous when she heard this sudden sentence.

Xue Lianzi was also stunned. This had truly exceeded his expectations. He naturally knew that there was something wrong with this junior of his old friend’s family, but he never expected that after being beaten up and locked up by Xu Qing for a few months, she would say such a thing as soon as she was released.

“I feel that in this world, only he is worthy of me. Grandma, I want to marry him. I won’t marry anyone but him!!” Yanyan shook Esteemed Master Dongyou’s arm with an unprecedented seriousness.

“Impudent. How dare you behave like this in front of your elders!” Seeing this, Esteemed Master Dongyou shouted. Yanyan lowered her head aggrievedly.

Although Esteemed Master Dongyou said that, the shock she was feeling was intense. She looked at Xue Lianzi.

“Fellow Daoist Xue, when you have time later, can you make some arrangements? This old woman wants to see that kid Xu Qing.”

Xue Lianzi hesitated. He felt that this matter was a little strange, but if he could really facilitate this marriage, it wouldn’t be bad. He laughed and nodded in agreement, but he didn’t say the exact time.

For some reason, this matter quickly spread in the sect. In just a day, it was known by all seven mountain peaks. Among them, Ding Xue had the greatest reaction and seemed like she was about to explode.

As for Zhao Zhongheng, he was overjoyed.

In addition, on the Second Peak, in Gu Muqing’s cave abode, pills exploded a few times.

Xu Qing naturally heard of it as well. He frowned and felt that this matter was a little ridiculous. Moreover, Xu Qing felt that such romantic relationships were a waste of cultivation time and there were no benefits to it.

When he was young, he had heard the teacher mention something about the feelings between a man and a woman. However, up until now, he had never experienced it and didn’t know what it was like.

In his memories, the slums and scavenger campsites were mostly filled with people living alone.

“How baffling.” Xu Qing’s expression was calm, and there were no fluctuations in his heart.

In the following days, he rejected Yanyan’s request to meet many times.

To Xu Qing, who was currently immersed in the refinement of the wish boxes and Night Dove’s matter, time was very precious. He didn’t want to care about some unimportant things and people.

As time passed, the Seven Blood Eyes’ ports became extremely lively with the arrival of the foreign races’ envoys and allies. It was also the first time that cultivators from the Wanggu Continent appeared in the Seven Blood Eyes!

The cultivators who came from the Wanggu Continent were three women in long green dresses and veils.

Their figures were graceful and there was a faint fog surrounding their bodies. Clearly, this was a cultivation art that was completely different from the Seven Blood Eyes’.

There was an immortal mountain embroidered on the long dress. It seemed to contain some Dao charm, causing them to give off the feeling that they were high and mighty.

This was especially so since there were clearly very few anomalous substances in their bodies. Although there were some, they were so few that if one didn’t sense them carefully, it was almost impossible to detect them at all.

All of this attracted the attention of the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples.

Over the years, no one from the Wanggu Continent had come here. To the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples, the Wanggu Continent was filled with mysteries. In fact, many of them instinctively felt that the cultivators of the Wanggu Continent were superior.

In reality, that was indeed the case. Regardless of whether it was in terms of spiritual energy, cultivation arts, outlooks, or orthodoxy, the Wanggu Continent surpassed the Seven Blood Eyes by a lot. The sects and cultivators there naturally had a transcendent attitude.

Not only did these three women emit an ethereal aura, but there was also a fragrance coming from their bodies. Their bodies looked otherworldly and their cultivation levels were even more astonishing.

Among these three, two women had opened about a hundred magic apertures. Clearly, they were going to break through to the fourth life fire.

The third woman who was the tallest among them had opened 120 magic apertures which shone like starlight. Even though she hadn’t entered the Mystic Brilliance Form, she still gave off the aura of the world being tempered by stars.

Their arrival was like a resplendent moon, causing countless stars to dim. In an instant, they became the center of attention and a hot topic of discussion in the Seven Blood Eyes.

As for the details, Xu Qing only knew them from the dossier and had not seen them in person.

However, through the dossier, he knew that these three cultivators represented a faction called the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect.

The Seven Blood Eyes had also announced some secrets and information about the Wanggu Continent to the Foundation Building disciples.

Usually, the sect wouldn’t easily tell these things and most of the disciples didn’t know much. However, at this moment, as the people from the Wanggu Continent arrived and the sect gave the information, a corner of the mysterious veil in the hearts of the Seven Blood Eyes’ disciples was lifted.

The Wanggu Continent was vast and boundless. It was divided into several large regions. There were counties in the regions and provinces in the counties. There were thousands of races and bizarre entities everywhere.

Almost no one could walk through the entire Wanggu Continent. This was almost impossible.

Its size exceeded imagination.

The origin of the human race was in the depths of the unbelievably majestic Wanggu Continent. It was extremely far from the Seven Blood Eyes.

That place was the location of the imperial city established by the last ancient king of the human race. It was also a holy place for the human race on the Wanggu Continent.

That ancient king’s name was Mystic Nether.

Not only did he suppress the myriad races and establish an era, but he also unified the Wanggu Continent. He also built a path that led from the Imperial City to the Forbidden Sea. This path passed through 37 large regions and spread to the seaside.

Back then, it was known as the Mystic Nether Royal Road. Now that many eras had passed, its name had changed to the Mystic Nether Ancient Path.

Myriad races had risen, and countless forbidden zones had been formed, and even though the human race had declined and lost a large territory, they had still retained this ancient path.

The continuation of the human race also revolved around this ancient path.

Over the years, seven human counties had formed on this ancient path. Sects were born and destroyed, rose and fell, and their overall strength was declining. However, even so, the human race, which had seven counties and a large imperial city, was still one of the powerful races in the Wanggu Continent.

As for the seven counties of the human race on the Mystic Nether Ancient Path, they were in different large regions. The end point of the ancient path was the human race’s seventh county. It was in the large region of Shenglan, close to the Forbidden Sea. It was called Fenghai County.

It was a county but in reality, its size was extremely vast compared to the Seven Blood Eyes. It was divided into five provinces and the size of each province was about ten times larger than the Nanhuang Continent.

Among them, the one closest to the Forbidden Sea was the Yinghuang Province.

It was rumored that the Ancient King Mystic Abyss had attained the Dao overseas and landed here, starting his domineering ambition of unifying Wanggu. Hence, the name of this state1, and it continued to be used even now.

In the Yinghuang Province, there were all kinds of forces and factions. There were even nonhuman races who set up camps and cities. After countless years of war and change, six forces were at the top and their names spread in all directions.

They were respectively…

Over a hundred small and medium-sized sects were scattered all over the province. The force led by the seven great sects among them – Seven Sects Alliance.

The Litu Sect fanatically revered the Ancient King Mystic Nether. They had carried out many crazy actions and stirred up a storm to offer sacrifices – Litu Dao Altar.

The native cultivators of the Yinghuang Province possessed a mysterious inheritance. In name, they were the leader of the Yinghuang Province – Grand Affairs Immortal Sect!

Countless bizarre entities were gathered in this place. They fed on flesh and blood and drank souls. Their ferocity made all cultivators feel fear and despair. They reared the human race in 137 cities where the corpses were strewn everywhere. The ground was covered in silt formed by rotting flesh and blood and other forces were helpless against them – Three Spirits Suppression Mountain.

As for the fifth faction, they were even more aloof. They almost never participated in any conflicts of interest in the Yinghuang Province. They gathered from all directions and lived around the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar left behind by an unknown half-step Sovereign many eras ago.

This Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar was an inheritance. Its length towered into the clouds and very few people could truly reach the peak. It was said that those who reached the peak could obtain its inheritance.

So far, there were only two people who had reached the peak. Countless names were engraved on the entire Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar. Anyone who was qualified to engrave their names here would obtain the divine soul protection of Absolute Beginning Separation.

It was a malevolent ghost with an unfathomable origin. It was covered in armor, wielded a huge blade, and supported two worlds on its shoulders. This ghost was a million feet tall and looked like the spirit of an evil god. It sat in the Yinghuang Province like a large mountain.

The two worlds on its shoulder were the sixth force called the Nanyue Ghost Mountain. As for that evil god’s spirit, it was known as the Nanyue Ghost Emperor.

Other than that, there were many nonhuman race encampments and a large number of forbidden zones. There were also two forbidden regions that suppressed the surroundings and even spread dense anomalous substances every year.
