Outside of Time

The monk who looked like a shopkeeper was in a state of mind at this moment. The scene that happened to him made his mind roar.

He has heard of the method of time reversal, but this is more used as a way of looking back. It can only be seen, but cannot be truly changed, and it must be done by returning to the virtual world for major repairs.

But now... he has obviously used all means of suicide. He was poisoned, the physical restraint broke out, and the soul fire burned. Normally, he is dead now without leaving any trace.

But... the Xu Qing in front of him just raised his hand, everything was reversed, his time changed, and he actually went back to seven breaths ago.

This incident made his heart churn violently, and the terrifying shadow that emerged behind Xu Qing made his soul tremble, and even his eyes stung.

"How can this be!"

In shock, the monk who looked like a shopkeeper quickly backed up and wanted to repeat his old trick and commit suicide again, but this time, it was obviously too late.

With one step, Xu Qing's body flashed in front of the monk in charge. He raised his right hand and grabbed his chin. With a shake, all the teeth in his mouth fell off and the poison sac reappeared, and they spurted out from his mouth.

The monk in charge showed fear in his eyes and was about to struggle.

Wisps of soul threads spread out from Xu Qing's body in an instant, like a sharp sword, with a bright light that penetrated directly into this person's body. Wherever it passed, all restrictions were destroyed, and it was difficult to break out at all.

A muffled groan came from the mouth of the monk in charge, and the next moment the soul seed in his body also turned against him and went straight to his soul to suppress the desire to burn.

All his methods failed at this moment and were stopped by Xu Qing in advance. All of this happened in a flash of lightning. Xu Qing had an expressionless face from beginning to end.

In the shopkeeper's eyes, everything seemed strange and unbelievable, but to Xu Qing, everything was just a matter of raising his hand.

After suppressing all the other party's methods, he didn't bother to ask questions. From the previous series of reactions of the other party, he had already made a basic conclusion in his heart.

So without any hesitation, he raised his left hand and pressed it on the head of the shopkeeper's monk. His spiritual thoughts merged and he started... searching for souls!

Soul searching is an extremely cruel method in the world of cultivation. Because this kind of behavior is done by high-level monks against low-level monks, so if the contact is forced, the soul of the mild person will be dimmed under the soul searching, and the soul of the severe person will be dimmed. Immediately stunned.

Especially if you want to know the details, the soul search must be even more thorough, during which you can also use the method of division and destruction.

Xu Qing is using this method at this moment.

The soul of the monk in charge showed signs of collapse under his search. There were more and more cracks, and screams that were so shrill that they didn't sound like human voices also started to wail from the mouth of the shopkeeper.

This sound is like a ghost crying and a wolf howling, containing extreme pain. If a commoner hears it, it will definitely cause nightmares for a long time. Even monks will be horrified when they hear it.

However, this place is thousands of miles high in the sky and there is no one around, making it difficult to understand the beauty of this sound.

Only Xu Qing, bit by bit, shattered this person's soul, checked all the memories of the past, and gradually the shopkeeper's life emerged in his mind.

The origin, identity, etc. of the other party gradually became clear. Because it was too complicated, Xu Qing did not pay too much attention to it. He swept it over and focused on half a month ago.

Finally, he saw the picture he wanted to know.

More than half a month ago, in a secret house, the figure and words of a man in black robe were seen.

But just when Xu Qing wanted to take a closer look, the picture disappeared, and the shopkeeper's soul was completely destroyed and ceased to exist, leaving only a limp body that remained motionless.

Xu Qing frowned slightly.

"This person's soul is inherently deficient... unable to withstand a more intense soul search."

Xu Qing recalled his preliminary inspection of this person's life.

"He joined an organization in his early years that he didn't know its origins. The organization gave him a new chance, but it also restricted his life."

"As for the details..."

Xu Qing squinted his eyes, dug out the person's storage bag, and found a black pot inside.

When his spiritual thoughts swept away, Xu Qing's face became even more ugly. There were hundreds of thousands of human souls inside...

After a moment of silence, Xu Qing's body swayed and disappeared, going to several locations in that person's memory.

Every position was a harvesting point arranged by the other party. Because the incident at his companion's place was revealed, the news was very tight now, so he did not open these harvesting points.

Xu Qing went everywhere, destroying it and recording the evidence at the same time.

Then, he left this ring land.

As for the shopkeeper's body, he was naturally taken away, which is also evidence.

Time passed, and five days later, Daotian Territory, Jiuzhou County.

This county is one of the seven human enclaves and is not very far from the imperial capital, so after Xu Qing's speed and the use of the teleportation array at all costs, it took him five days to finally arrive.

When I came here, it was already late at night.

Xu Qing had passed by this county before on his way to the imperial capital, but he didn't stay too long before he activated the ancient teleportation and left.

Now that he is back, he is filled with murderous intent. The moment he walks out of the teleportation array, his figure has disappeared and he is speeding towards the place where the soul seed is locked.

Of the three people at the beginning, one was killed by Tianzhao County Sheriff, one was killed by Xu Qing, and the last one... is here.

It is difficult for outsiders to find his hiding place, but in Xu Qing's eyes, the traces are clear even if he is fused with his own soul seed.

Since he wanted to clean up the door and find out what was going on behind the scenes, he naturally had to eradicate it. At the same time, he also needed to search for souls again to identify the black-robed man in the house he saw.

"The opponent's soul seed has not been moved in one place for several hours."

In the night, Xu Qing's figure teleported across Jiuzhou County. Half an hour later, he appeared on a mountain range.

Looking around, this mountain range is completely dark, with only the sounds of birds and animals coming from time to time, and the sound of rustling caused by the wind blowing on the grass and trees.

Other than that, it was quiet.

Xu Qing's eyes swept over him, his body blurred, and he left quickly.

The next moment, when his figure was clearly revealed, he was already outside a natural cave deep in the mountains.

Xu Qing frowned. On the way here, he had already felt something was wrong. Standing here now, this feeling was even more obvious. So a cold light flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his right hand, the forbidden moment hidden in the cave was revealed. Corroded by the heterogeneity he emitted, it lost its effect.

In an instant, Xu Qing appeared in the cave.

On the ground, there is a formation in operation.

There was a person lying in the formation.

This man is middle-aged, full of vitality, but motionless.

He had no clothes on, and his belly was squirming. Xu Qing's soul seed was inside.

Besides the formation, there was a jade slip placed on the ground.

Xu Qing looked at this person's formation, and then looked at the jade slip. After scanning it with his spiritual mind, he was sure that it was okay, so he raised his hand and grabbed the jade slip. The moment he checked, the sound of vicissitudes of life echoed inside the jade slip.

"No matter who is here, the fact that you can find this place means that you, like me, are trying to track down the Yisenliu Dao Seed. I have already asked for the answer."

"As for this person, he is in the state of collapse because he cannot bear the soul search. However, with the blessing of my formation, his soul has not completely dissipated, but he will not last long. Anyone who comes can check it out on his own."

Xu Qing was silent, and after a while he spoke lightly.

"Little tricks."

"Xiaoying, spread out in all directions and block your ultimate distance. No matter what method you use, find the person hiding here."

As soon as Xu Qing spoke, the shadow under his feet suddenly swelled. After conveying the flattering emotion, it spread rapidly, covering the entire mountain range, and spreading to the outside world.

All birds and beasts within its range trembled instantly, and were seized by the little shadow, controlling everything.

Xu Qing looked at the people on the ground. He didn't believe what the jade slip said.

He even believes in another possibility of this matter. The person he is looking for has some mysterious means to take out his soul seed and put it in others, so that the golden cicada can escape from his shell.

This method may not only target Xu Qing, after all, the other party does not know the existence of Xu Qing, so this method should be aimed at the investigators of the Imperial Capital on this matter.

So, this person left the jade slips behind to make things mysterious.

As for how to take out the soul seed without being discovered by Xu Qing, this is an important point, but there is a way, which is actually possible.

That is, the soul seed... has never been taken out from the beginning to the end, but this kind of non-removal can achieve the effect of taking it out in a real sense.

"Clone!"

Xu Qing looked at the unconscious man on the ground, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

If the Tao seed is fused with a clone at the beginning, and the main body follows the clone, then the seemingly perfect situation like this can be created.

The flaw in this matter, which is also the key point that caused Xu Qing's speculation, is...it is impossible for anyone to find this place faster than him.

Therefore, according to that person's plan, when someone actually finds this place, his clone has already died, and the formation can explain everything. Even if he uses the time lapse technique to check, there will be no trace.

He was indeed searching for the clone's soul, and he was indeed arranging formations to prevent the clone's soul from completely collapsing, and the clone was indeed alive for a period of time.

It's just that the people investigating the matter arrived late.

Xu Qing's eyes revealed as he pondered, and he understood that if this guess was correct, then the person could not have predicted that he would come so quickly.

The traces here also prove that it was arranged not long ago.

"Whether this is the case, you will know once you try it."

The soul threads in Xu Qing's body exploded and weaved rapidly behind him, forming... the third level of divine state.

Amidst the rumbling, the color of the sky and the earth changed, and the wind and clouds surged.

A terrifying figure appeared behind Xu Qing, fused with it, and became one body.

It's like the arrival of a god, making the four directions blurred, heterogeneous explosions, the rock walls of the cave being unbearable and decomposing, and the positions in all directions changed at this moment.

The mountain became a tomb, the vegetation became bones, and the cave became a huge skull.

This scene is both illusory and real, making it difficult to see what the world really looks like.

And in this blur, a figure stepped out.

The long purple hair drags the ground, and the evil is shocking. Outside the crystal-like skeleton, there are flesh and blood formed by countless blood threads, which spread in all directions, which is shocking.

There are also huge wings made of purple feathers and flesh, with a purple moon rising behind them.

There is even more terrifying personal ascension.

It was Xu Qing.

At this moment, he walked to the formation and raised his hand to grab the ground. The unconscious man flew over instantly and was caught by Tianling.

This time it is not a soul search, Xu Qing wants to use the power of this personality to check the life thread of the unconscious person and find his true body.

As for letting Xiaoying disperse first, it was because he was afraid that if the other party was hiding nearby, he would be frightened and notice, and teleport away instantly.

"Scar of Life, open!"

The divine sound is astonishing.
