Outside of Time

It rained in the imperial capital for three days.

On the fourth day, it turned into snow.

Winter arrived suddenly, and as the first snow fell, the chill spread rapidly in all directions, causing the entire imperial capital to be suddenly covered in silver, with ice flowers hanging on the eaves.

Looking at the snowflakes in the sky and feeling the cold wind blowing against his face, Xu Qing thought of Fenghai County, Nanhuangzhou, and scenes from his childhood.

Even though he has practiced so far, he no longer feels much about heat and cold, and has an extraordinary level of resistance, but he still feels a little cold.

That is the memory from the heart.

Everything in childhood has long been deposited in the soul and will accompany it throughout life.

At this moment, walking on the way to Taixue, Xu Qing instinctively tightened his collar and stepped into the gate of Taixue in the wind and snow.

No one mentioned the theft of the Sun of Dawn anymore. As for the lost Sun of Dawn, the whereabouts were unknown. This matter should have been hanging on the minds of all the forces in the imperial capital, but... no one seemed to care.

As for the reason, Xu Qing analyzed it.

"Because someone is here."

The Human Emperor, to the human race, is the existence that supports the sky.

It can calm the hearts of all people.

Regarding the Human Emperor, Xu Qing's senses were complicated. When he did not come to the Imperial Capital, the Human Emperor was just a symbol. In his mind, it was just a strange and blank piece of paper.

As we came to the imperial capital, and as we judged the Emperor, the paper became colored, but... there were so many colors that it was confusing to look at it now.

Xu Qing shook his head.

But he has a habit of burying things he cannot understand deep in his heart, recording them one by one, waiting for the flaws and clues to be revealed as time passes, and then filling them all in.

In this way, when enough clues are grasped, all the answers will emerge in his heart.

But now, Xu Qing knows that the most important thing before him is actually his cultivation.

"Go and see the Yisen-ryu!"

The moment you step into the gate of Taixue, you are isolated from the cold, wind and snow. Compared to the changes in the seasons outside, Taixue, which is in a separate space, is no different from before.

There are still crowds of people, there is still bustling, there is still constant discussion.

Xu Qing, who had been here for more than a month, was already accustomed to this environment. He blended into the crowd with every step, like a drop of water falling into the sea, and walked inconspicuously towards the Yisenliu White Pagoda located due east.

"At the last banquet held by Princess Anhai, a person named Munan from the Litu Cult took out a photo. It recorded the appearance of Chen Daoze who was a master of the Immortal Style. It is very familiar to my spiritual state."

"Could it be that the soul-based weaving of the Yisen style is similar to the spirit state?"

Xu Qing was very moved by this.

Because the spiritual state in him was the product of various chances and coincidences, he had never seen it in anyone else. Even Grandpa Ninth was unfamiliar with it.

So Xu Qing has been exploring how to practice his spiritual state.

If the red mother's flesh and blood had to be used every time she unfolded the second form... Xu Qing couldn't bear this kind of consumption.

Not to mention the third form.

"In the first form, I can display the Great Perfection of Spiritual Treasures, which is even comparable to the power of the first level of Guixu. This kind of blessing is huge."

"As for the second form, it is close to the second level of Guixu... Although there is a difference, it is actually similar."

"And the third form..." Xu Qing recalled the display in front of Grandpa Jiu, thinking about the strong men he met, and already made a preliminary judgment in his mind.

"The combat power is comparable to the third level of Guixu!"

"So, the focus of my practice now is to completely master the three forms of the spirit state."

"In addition, it is the fifth secret treasure."

As Xu Qing pondered, time passed, and half an hour later, the Yixianliu White Pagoda appeared in his eyes.

Compared with the hustle and bustle around it, it has always been quiet there, empty and no one cares about it, as if it was submerged in history and eliminated by time.

There are not three disciples in the White Tower today, but only one. He is sitting there breathing heavily while being scolded by the sect leader.

"Look outside, there are so many students, you can't go out and bring people in."

"If this continues, there won't be enough people to do the work. With so many classics, I can't just sort them out every day!"

"Although our Yi Xian style is no longer good, we still have glory. You guys spend all your time studying some tabloids. It's useless."

The reprimanded disciple looked impatient and waved his hand.

"Okay, if you keep talking about me, I won't come tomorrow. Our tabloid is not just for subsidizing our own use, and you won't give it to us. We report some gossip and interesting things. What does it have to do with you? How about we charge a fee? If so, Here comes a fool who wants to look up ancient books. How about the fee?"

"You!!" The sect leader of the Yixian style stared, intending to say something harsh, but after all, he was still worried that the other party would really not come...

His chest rose and fell a few times, and he was just thinking about how to speak, but the arrival of Xu Qing caught his attention, so he snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Xu Qing.

As for the disciple, he also raised his head and spoke lazily after seeing Xu Qing.

"The Yi Xian Liu charges one hundred spiritual stones for each jade slip viewed."

The same attire prevented him from recognizing Xu Qing as someone who had been here before. In fact, in this Taixue, it would be difficult to identify each other unless they came into contact many times.

Xu Qing glanced over and was about to speak, but at this moment, the faction leader glanced at Xu Qing with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Why are you here again?"

When the other disciples heard this, they were stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Qing carefully.

Xu Qing was also a little surprised and handed over to the faction leader.

"Teacher, I want to know more about Yisen-ryu."

"Okay." The leader of the Yixian sect's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but rub his hands. He stepped forward and grabbed Xu Qing's arm and pulled him into the white tower, as if he was afraid that Xu Qing would escape.

Xu Qing was a little uncomfortable with this, but the disciple sighed and ignored it.

"You are a wise person. I felt it the first time you came here." The leader of the Yixian Sect said with emotion in his voice.

"Your choice of the Immortal Style is a call of duty and an inevitable outcome after the gears of fate turn. If I hadn't guessed, you just entered Taixue not long ago, right?"

As the leader of the Yixian Sect said, he raised five fingers of his left hand and pinched them to calculate. His eyes showed surprise as he looked at Xu Qing and hesitated to speak.

Xu Qing was silent. This kind of trick was commonly used by the captain and he was used to it.

Seeing that Xu Qing did not take the initiative to ask, the leader of the Yixian Sect coughed and spoke to himself.

"When our Yisen style was glorious, our ancestors sensed the world and saw a glimpse of the future, leaving behind a prophecy. The prophecy said that one day in the future, there will be a student who will join our Yisen style and create a new world. The pinnacle of Senryu.”

"The last time I saw you, I felt something in my heart, but I wasn't sure. Now that I see you again, I don't know why that prophecy rose in my heart."

"It's very possible that you are the person we, the Immortals, have been waiting for for thousands of years!"

The disciple next to him curled his lips. He had heard these words before. When he came here, the leader of the sect also said the same. As for the two disciples who did not come today, the same was true.

"I don't know how to change the words."

However, thinking that it would be good to fool another person, he shrank his pupils, pretending to be surprised, and exclaimed.

"Oh my God."

Xu Qing looked at the two exaggerated people, and he suddenly felt that the Yisen style might not be very suitable for him...

Seeing his disciple's cooperation, the master of the Yixian sect was deeply satisfied. He quickly took out a jade slip from the side and placed it directly in Xu Qing's hand.

"My child, integrate your spiritual thoughts into it and become the core disciple of my Yi Xian Flow. Then everything here will be opened to you. The future of the Yi Xian Flow is in your hands!"

"The techniques of the Yisen style are special. Therefore, the Emperor granted permission back then to decide how to pass them on. Therefore, our ancestors decided not to pass them on unless they are core members."

"Come on, join us, and your life will open a new door from now on!"

The leader of the Yi Xian Sect had an enthusiastic voice and kept persuading.

Xu Qing looked at the jade slip in his hand. Since he was here today, he had made a decision, so he imprinted it without hesitation.

As the jade slips shone, Xu Qing became a core disciple of the Yisen style.

"Haha, welcome to join the Immortal Style."

The leader of the sect was excited, and the disciples beside him were happy. The two looked at each other, and both could see the pride in each other that they had tricked another person into joining.

The former thinks that the school has grown stronger, while the latter thinks that there will be more coolies to work in the future.

Xu Qing didn't pay much attention to this and opened his mouth.

"Sect leader, can you show me the Yisen-ryu technique?"

"No problem." The faction leader laughed, raised his hand, grabbed more than ten jade slips from the hill in the corner, and placed them all in Xu Qing's hands.

"All the techniques of our Yisen style are here. Take your time and take a look. Don't be in a hurry."

Xu Qing nodded and looked at it carefully. The expression behind the mask gradually became thoughtful.

The jade slip is very rich in content, and the description of Yisen-ryu practice is also very detailed.

Generally speaking, the exercises of this school have requirements for practice conditions.

We need people with powerful souls.

Only such people can form a sufficient number of soul threads to theoretically weave a complete divine creature.

If the soul power is not enough, it is easy to lose consciousness during the weaving process.

In addition, you also need to visualize the totem picture of the divine creature and use the soul thread as a pen to complete it.

As for the process, it varies from person to person, but overall, it's slow as hell.

As for the sect leader, while Xu Qing was checking, he continued to introduce the Yisen style.

"The focus of my sect is on visualizing the divine creatures, and I have given them to you. These are the ones selected by people of all ages from countless divine creatures that are most suitable for the Immortal style. The required number of soul threads is also introduced. Compared to the martial arts, this is the essence of my Yisen style.”

"But you must remember not to aim too high. If the number of condensed soul threads is not enough, you cannot force the visualization."

When the sect leader gave instructions, Xu Qing saw pictures of jade slips depicting divine creatures. There were dozens of them, each of them lifelike.

Among them, the most required soul threads are 100,000, and the least is about 50,000.

So he tried to practice for a while, and for a moment his mind went into a trance and his eyes became blurry.

Noticing this scene, the leader of the faction shook his head and gave a reminder for the sake of deceiving the other party just now.

"To practice the Yisen-ryu technique, you need to be calm and focused. Only in an absolutely quiet and fixed circle can the speed be increased. If you practice it now, it is normal to have no effect."

"Generally speaking, if you practice for a month and condense a soul thread, you have good qualifications. If you can get more than three, you are a proud man of heaven, and if you have more than ten, you are an ancestor's qualifications!"

Xu Qing hesitated and looked inside the sea of ​​consciousness. There... there were more than 10,000 soul threads spreading at the moment.
