Outside of Time [Webnovel]

493 Young Eagles Spread Their Wings

On the ancient bronze mirror of the Sea Corpse Race.

Xu Qing abruptly opened his eyes. His body was in turmoil and his internal organs were in extreme pain.

He felt a sweetness in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood that landed on the ancient mirror, turning into droplets that flowed out.

When he lifted his head, Xu Qing’s eyes revealed shock.

!!

“That giant formed by countless corpses is… the emperor of the Corpse Forbidden?”

“It was eaten by the existence inside the bronze door.”

The image of the golden arm stretching out from the bronze door appeared in Xu Qing’s mind. The divine feeling it emitted and the vastness that couldn’t be looked at directly caused endless waves in his mind.

He was very clear that the scene he was looking at was the memory of that nonhuman cultivator and not something he looked at directly.

In other words, all of this had already undergone filtering. However, even so, Xu Qing’s clone still directly collapsed. Even his main body was injured.

He could very well imagine that the life level of the arm was extremely high.

“Another god…” Xu Qing didn’t need to guess to know the answer.

He didn’t know how many gods existed in this world.

It was only after a long time that Xu Qing suppressed his churning emotions. He immediately used the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo magic treasure to contact his master and tell him everything he saw.

After Xu Qing finished reporting, the bell chimes rang out from the Eight Sects Alliance very quickly. The Senate where the ancestors of the various sects were immediately held an emergency meeting.

Xu Qing didn’t know how the Eight Sects Alliance would deal with this matter in the future. At that moment, he had received a decree from Old Master Seventh that he couldn’t probe the depths of the forbidden region but had to pay close attention to the outer edges.

At the same time, he reminded him that if he felt that something was amiss, he could return immediately.

Xu Qing could sense the severity of the situation from his master’s words, so he agreed.

As he recuperated, he locked the Seven Blood Eyes’ Taboo magic treasures at the edge of the Corpse Forbidden.

He would pay attention at all times.

The reaction of the Eight Sects Alliance was also very fast. In just two days, the Taboo magic treasures of the various sects of the Eight Sects Alliance were in an initiated state. They also sent the news throughout the Yinghuang Province that there might be a change in the Corpse Forbidden.

As soon as this notice was released, the Yinghuang Province was in an uproar.

The last time something similar happened was in the Spirit Sound forbidden region. Although a long time had passed since the calamity, it still existed in the records of the various forces.

The tragedy back then was horrifying.

The Eight Sects Alliance sent a team of experts. Led by the ancestors of two sects, they headed to the Corpse Forbidden to carry out their final investigation.

During this investigation, the Eight Sects Alliance even invited the Sword Holding Court to participate as a witness.

The matter was too serious. Not only was the Eight Sects Alliance paying attention, but the Grand Affairs Immortal Sect and the Litu Sect were also paying attention. After all, once there was a problem with the Corpse Forbidden, all the forces in the Yinghuang Province would be unable to avoid the calamity.

The Sword Holding Court arrived as well.

A Sword Holder Elder personally arrived.

The group of them quickly entered the Corpse Forbidden. Xu Qing paid close attention through the Taboo magic treasure. After these people entered, waves of energy fluctuations rose in the Corpse Forbidden.

The entire process didn’t last long. In just half a month, the group from the Eight Sects Alliance returned.

All of them had solemn expressions. It was the same for the Sword Holder Elder who had accompanied them as a witness.

Very soon, the results of the investigation into the Corpse Forbidden were announced to the entire Yinghuang Province.

There were indeed changes in the forbidden region. The Corpse Door had opened and the Corpse Emperor had died. However, the impact didn’t spread too far and the seal had been strengthened again.

As soon as this news was out, most of the small sects and forces in the Yinghuang Province heaved a sigh of relief. However, this wasn’t the case for the large forces. On the contrary, they became even more vigilant. They also restrained their range of activity and were on guard.

This was because although the content of the announcement was the truth, the investigation this time had found a clue.

The Corpse Door of the Corpse Forbidden didn’t open on its own, nor did it open from the inside. Instead, it opened from the outside.

Moreover, even if the seal was strengthened, this seal could only be considered barely useful.

A chaos would emerge from the Corpse Forbidden sooner or later.

However, this shouldn’t happen very soon. After all, the Eight Sects Alliance had discovered it in time. This also gave the Yinghuang Province time to prepare.

However, who exactly opened the Corpse Door? This question became a haze that enveloped the minds of the various forces in the Yinghuang Province.

Those who could open the Corpse Door were definitely not ordinary beings.

Some people suspected Illuminate, but from the various clues, it didn’t seem to be the case. Instead, this seemed to have been caused by an even more terrifying faction.

All of this happened in half a month.

Amidst the brewing storm, Xu Qing’s three months of duty as a Treasure Bearer came to an end.

Although there was an unforeseen event in the Corpse Forbidden and the Eight Sects Alliance became increasingly vigilant, it was mostly on the inside and they still appeared relaxed on the outside. Moreover, they still had to do what needed to be done. For example, the people going to Fenghai County this time to replace the garrison personnel.

Hence, when Xu Qing returned, the Eight Sects Alliance had already completed the final confirmation of the name list for this trip to Fenghai County.

This time, Purple Mystic Fairy would lead the team to the county capital.

She would guard the branch sect for ten years.

At the same time, the Peak Lord of the Seven Blood Eyes’ Fifth Peak was appointed as the sect master of the branch sect for ten years.

Other than that, there were also some heaven’s chosen disciples from the various sects who were going to be sent to the county capital to train there.

This included Huang Yikun and Huang Lingfei from the Mystic Nether Sect.

There was also Sima Ru, who had failed the Sword Holder Assessment.

As for the Seven Blood Eyes, at the request of the First Peak’s Peak Lord, Wu Jianwu’s name was also added.

It was as though he didn’t like this disciple and wanted to send him far away. Out of sight, out of mind.

...

Other than these, there were also dozens of disciples from the various sects. A small portion of them were Foundation Building cultivators, and most of them were Golden Cores. Xu Qing had never seen many of them before.

After the name list was confirmed, on the third day after Xu Qing returned, a huge flying ship rose into the air from the Eight Sects Alliance.

It didn’t set sail immediately. Instead, it floated in the air as cultivators from the various sects arrived one after another.

Moreover, Purple Mystic Fairy, who was leading the team, had yet to appear.

Xu Qing stood on the flying ship and looked at the horizon. He held a small seal in his hand. This was a treasure the ancestor had promised him.

Just as he was playing with the small seal, a rueful voice rang out from beside him.

“Little Qing, do you know how difficult it is to not be able to eat for three months! I won’t think about the things of the Mystic Nether Sect anymore until my cultivation is high enough!”

The captain sighed and walked to Xu Qing’s side. He then let out a long sigh. Behind him was Wu Jianwu, who looked like he had survived a calamity.

After not seeing him for three months, Xu Qing felt that the captain seemed to have lost weight. Wu Jianwu also looked haggard.

However, the latter’s cultivation base had clearly increased by a lot. Now, it had actually reached the level of four fires. This speed really surprised Xu Qing.

However, when he thought of the other party’s experience in the Demon Snake Secret Realm, Xu Qing felt that it was understandable for him to be able to accomplish this. After all, that place was specially designed for people to open their magic apertures.

...

From the looks of it, it could be considered a blessing in disguise for Wu Jianwu.

“Did Purple Mystic Fairy do this on purpose?” Xu Qing suddenly had this thought.

“Three months of not being able to recite poetry, who knows torture of a hundred days!” Wu Jianwu placed his hands behind his back and looked at the sky. He sighed with emotion.

“If I became the Heavenly Emperor, I would definitely kill those who humiliated me!”

Almost at the instant Wu Jianwu spoke, a cold snort rang out. Wu Jianwu’s expression changed and his body trembled. He immediately revealed a fawning expression.

The captain was the same. He instinctively moved closer to Xu Qing.

This was because Purple Mystic Fairy had arrived.

She arrived with Lord Fifth of the Seven Blood Eyes. The latter was respectfully following behind her.

The long purple dress on Purple Mystic Fairy’s body made her look like a blooming redbud.

After stepping into the flying ship, she smiled at Xu Qing and didn’t say anything else. She then entered the cabin with Lord Fifth. Next, Lord Fifth wanted to report the arrangements to her.

Lord Fifth wasn’t a male cultivator but an old woman.

However, in the Seven Blood Eyes, everyone addressed the Peak Lords as Lords.

Before entering the cabin, she glanced at Xu Qing and the captain with a smile on her face.

Wu Jianwu retracted his neck and heaved a sigh of relief.

The captain looked at Wu Jianwu with disdain.

“Look at your cowardly appearance. What are you afraid of?!”

“You are more afraid than me, every time you cry in your heart!” Wu Jianwu rolled his eyes at the captain. His poetry skills were a little worse than before. Clearly, he hadn’t practiced for three months.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain and Wu Jianwu before taking a few steps back to maintain a distance.

At the same time, he looked at the people who had arrived outside the flying ship. After these disciples from the various sects boarded the ship, their expressions were filled with anticipation but they weren’t lacking in vigilance.

After all, this trip was basically the longest journey in the lives of most people. They weren’t sure what would happen on the way and what would happen when they arrived at the county capital.

Amidst their uncertainty, their gazes instinctively landed on Xu Qing and the captain with respect.

This was because in the unknown county capital, Xu Qing and the captain were different from them. They were going to the branch sect while Xu Qing and the captain were going to report for duty.

To a certain extent, their job was more to serve the Sword Holders of the Alliance. At the same time, if they caused any trouble in the county, they would need the Sword Holder to resolve it.

As such, their status and identity began to change the moment they stepped onto the ship.

Although there were stupid people, there were very few of them in this group.

They naturally saw the future clearly.

Hence, very soon, as everyone arrived and the cultivators of the Eight Sects Alliance watched from the ground, this ship that carried over a hundred people rumbled into the distance.

Old Master Seventh looked up at the ship with blessings in his eyes.

“Hope everything goes well.”

“Why? Can’t bear to part?” Xue Lianzi sat beside Old Master Seventh and smiled.

“After all, it’s too far. However, it’s good to go out and train more when young.” Old Master Seventh smiled.

“Besides, the Yinghuang Province might not be peaceful in the future. It’s good to leave it.”

“Corpse Forbidden…” Xue Lianzi’s expression was solemn as he looked in the direction of the Corpse Forbidden.

“Have you found out who it is?”

“All the clues point to… the Holy Wave Race in the large region of Holy Wave where our Fenghai County is located!” Old Master Seventh said softly.

“The rulers of the Holy Wave Region who betrayed the human race and formed their own clan, attached themselves to the Black Heaven Race and are extremely cruel to our human race, the Holy Wave Race.”
