Outside of Time

For Xu Qing, this meeting with the Emperor had already come to an end the moment he walked out of the palace gate.

But the storm in his heart was continuing to explode, as if there was a beast hidden in his body, wanting to break out of the prison of his mind and tear everything apart.

He could only try his best to restrain himself and try to be as calm as he seemed on the surface. He raised his head and smiled at the captain and Zixuan who were waiting outside the palace.

The captain's mind was obviously attracted by other things, not as delicate as Zixuan.

So Zixuan just glanced at Xu Qing and chose to leave with him, while the captain stayed behind, saying that he wanted to wait for Ning Yan, but Xu Qing looked at the longing in the captain's eyes when he stared at the Ancient Emperor Star, and knew that every A captain needs to collect various things before doing something big.

This gaze is clearly gathering information.

So he allowed the captain to stay, and Xu Qing gained a lot from this face-to-face meeting. The canonization and the gathering of luck were one, the identity of the national master was confirmed, and the third was obtaining the imperial sword.

However, Xu Qing felt that what he had done was not good enough, and there were some problems with the handling of some things. The most important thing was that he could not stop his thoughts at the moment, nor could he give himself free time.

Once his thoughts stop spinning, the murderous intention for Prince Ziqing deep in his heart will burst out like a flood.

And Zixuan was keenly aware of this. Even though Xu Qing tried his best to hide it, Zixuan still felt the ultimate storm... in Xu Qing's heart.

So, she took Xu Qing's hand, sending out her warmth just like Xu Qing held her hand in the Forbidden Land of Immortals.

"Let's go home."

The moment they looked at each other, the wind blew up their hair. Xu Qing was silent for a few breaths. As he walked, he spoke softly and told Zixuan the process and details of the face-to-face meeting.

Zixuan listened carefully all the way until she returned to Ning Yan's mansion. In front of the lake bank, a soft voice came from her mouth.

"The moment you saw the crow, you handled it very well."

"I agree with your guess. It is impossible for the Human Emperor to not know the identity of Crow. There must be a transaction between them."

"But the Emperor's Sword is not moved by crows, which doesn't mean anything. This sword is public, how can it be used privately? It is more about sensing the changes in the fate of the human race, so as to prevent catastrophe at critical moments."

"This time you meet the Human Emperor, the shortcomings are just minor flaws, nothing serious."

"The Human Emperor should be playing chess with the crow, each making his own moves."

"As for your desire to kill the crow, before you master the ability to kill, the key is to protect yourself and hold back your murderous intent."

"Our trip to the imperial capital is destined to be full of twists and turns, and Ah Qing, you have to know that you are not alone. Whatever happens... I am with you."

"Kill the crow, when the time comes, I will be with you!"

The lake surface is sparkling, fish are jumping, splashing in the water, forming ripples, swaying in the lake, and also ripples in the sea of ​​​​their hearts.

Xu Qing looked at Zixuan in front of him and nodded.

"Okay, I know you came back early because you were worried about making alchemy for me. Let's go see your alchemy furnace?" A gentle smile appeared on Zixuan's face, and the sunlight fell on the tender skin, as if it had transformed into The sky veil lined her beautiful figure like a blooming orchid.

Stunningly beautiful.

Xu Qing's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, and she let Zixuan hold his hand and go to the alchemy room.

Looking at the burning alchemy furnace in the alchemy room and feeling that the elixir inside was intact, Xu Qing felt the last stone in his heart drop.

Time passes, dusk arrives, and this day is also a red glow day.

The time for Ancient Emperor Star to comprehend was originally a whole day, but due to the opening of the second seal, this time was shortened, so it ended at dusk.

News about the subsequent success of the enlightenment also spread rapidly.

After Xu Qing left, three more inheritors of the Heavenly Comprehension appeared, and even one person from the Heavenly King inheritance appeared again.

It's the tenth prince!

This incident caused quite a stir.

As for Ning Yan... he found nothing.

But when he returned, Ning Yan didn't show any sign of being downcast. Instead, he held his head high and his chest high. It was obvious that Xu Qing's affairs here made him feel proud.

However, there is still some loss hidden deep in his eyes.

Proving himself in front of his father was something he had always longed for.

Xu Qing is worried and has no way to comfort him.

So that night, many people in the mansion had no sleep.

Xu Qing and Zixuan are refining elixirs. The elixir that Zixuan needs is at the last moment. If successful, it will be completed in one night at most.

The captain was deep in thought, sometimes taking out jade slips to record, and even drew many patterns, and started researching around the ancient emperor star he saw today.

For him, this is a rare thing. Every time he did something big before, although he would collect information, he rarely had any plan. He just had to be aggressive.

But this time is different, after all...he has died on the Ancient Emperor Star due to failure in many lives.

Ning Yan spent this night in the ancestral hall. He crossed his legs there, looked at the portrait of his mother, and whispered about the past after his mother left. There was no word "missing" in every sentence, but every sentence contained missing.

Kong Xianglong was also silent. He heard about Xu Qing's incident today and saw it from a distance. While he was blessing him from the bottom of his heart, he also had requirements for himself.

He couldn't allow himself to be dragged down too far.

Only the heartless Wu Jianwu lay there that night, too lazy to practice, and slept soundly.

One night, nothing to say.

When the sun rose in the sky and a new day arrived, everyone's thoughts disappeared with the departure of the night. Ning Yan was full of energy, walked out of the ancestral hall, and began to practice breathing.

The captain was very happy and ran out to continue observing.

Xu Qing also welcomed the elixir. As the elixir furnace was opened, a bloody elixir with golden lines floated in front of him and Zixuan.

Zixuan took a deep breath, with anticipation in his eyes. He raised his jade hand and took out a compass.

This compass was made by her during this period to help her strengthen her senses. After taking it out at this moment, the blood pill floated down and landed in the center slot of the compass.

At the moment of insertion, the blood elixir shone with light, and the compass vibrated violently and began to rotate. Zixuan was also extremely serious, sitting down cross-legged, pressing his hands on the compass, and spreading his own induction power.

In an instant, her perception was greatly enhanced, and everything between heaven and earth disappeared in her heart. Only the lamp related to fate... became increasingly clear.

Xu Qing also sat down cross-legged to protect him while also thinking about the next thing.

"Help Zixuan find the lamp, this is one of them."

"The other thing is... go to Taixue."

Taixue is the highest institution of learning in the human race. During the days that Xu Qing came to the imperial capital, he heard more than once that both the prince and the ministers had the experience of studying at Taixue.

Even the geniuses of many super sects want to be qualified to study at the Imperial Academy.

To a certain extent, Taixue is actually just like a sect. It is just a sect created by human orthodoxy. There are no sectarian views and all skills and knowledge can be learned.

"On the way here, the third princess once mentioned Taixue, saying that there is a lot of emphasis on schools... There are thousands of schools, large and small, and each school has its own way, its own system, and its understanding of the world and cultivation. "

"Use different methods and different directions to explore the most suitable path to the rise of spiritual practice for today's human race."

"There are no thresholds for all schools. As long as you have the qualifications of Taixue, you can join whichever school you want to join. It also allows for better discussion and learning, so no matter your identity or background."

"Because Taixue is a special space, people who enter there will have Taixue robes and masks on their bodies, which can cover up all auras, and they are not allowed to reveal their identity. Only at the moment of graduation will their true identity be revealed. body."

"So, if you have the ability in Taixue, you can also create your own school. The premise is that it can attract students and make people recognize the concept..."

"The establishment and rules of Taixue were established by Emperor Xuanzhan after he came to the throne, and he fought against all opinions and founded it. Over the years, countless techniques have been collided within it, and one genius after another has emerged.

There is a place where human thoughts are revived, where a hundred flowers bloom and everyone can tell their own story..."

The words of the third princess came to Xu Qing's mind, and combined with his meeting with the Emperor, he was a little confused about the Emperor Xuanzhan.

"Nudhu said that the Human Emperor is doing something big, what exactly is it..."

Xu Qing thought, and at the same time another thought came to his mind.

"Also, what Ni Hu said must be true... After all, he is the god of the Yanyue Xuantian clan."

While Xu Qing was pondering here, his expression suddenly changed and he raised his head to look at Zixuan in front of him. Zixuan's eyes opened at this moment, revealing a hint of confusion. After a long time, he spoke softly.

"Aqing, I should have found that lamp."

…

Ancient Emperor Star.

After experiencing the opening of the seal and the enlightenment of inheritance, as everything ended, the clouds and mist there spread again, covering everything, and became the same as before, flowing slowly.

Under the clouds and mist, within the ancient emperor star, there are continents floating one after another. They move with the mist flow and drift around the stars.

And deep in the core, between the clouds and mist, there seems to be a palace, which cannot be seen clearly, shrouded in mist, and looming.

There was only a huge pentagonal altar above it, with thin clouds and mist...

On the altar, five huge golden coffins can be seen, placed at each corner. Each coffin exudes a terrifying royal aura and contains supreme power.

And each has its own shrine, standing on top.

There are no statues in the shrine, only spiritual tablets.

They are written respectively Dongsheng, Shengtian, Jingyun, Daoshi...

And the last one, Xuan Zhan.

This scene was like an earth-shattering mysterious ceremony that shocked Wang Gu.

And in the middle of these five coffins, there is an ancient lamp.

This lamp is made entirely of purple stone, like a blooming redbud flower, with a purple phoenix bird perched on it, its wings spread out, lifelike.
