Outside Of Time

1059 Facing the Peach Blossoms, You Do Not Recognize Me

In the past, the Poison Restriction couldn’t differentiate friend from foe; once unleashed, it would corrode everything within its range.

However, after integrating it into his eyes, Xu Qing gained much greater control over the Poison Restriction. Now, as the fog spread, it could selectively designate targets, minimizing the impact on the cultivators of the Moon Rebel.

Its main target was the Red Moon cultivators.

Shouts and screams rang out continuously and a large number of Red Moon cultivators retreated in fear. Some of the weaker cultivators even let out heart-rending cries as their bodies melted rapidly, turning into blood that soaked the ground.

Most of them felt their bodies rotting to different degrees, bringing about intense pain and the threat of death. All of them felt their hearts shaking as they unleashed the power of the Red Moon to resist.

Only some people with powerful cultivation levels could ignore it for a short period of time.

The pressure on the Moon Rebel cultivators was reduced by a lot. The fourth hall master immediately ordered everyone to head straight for the desert.

He had originally sensed through his own method that the heir and the others weren’t in the desert. He didn’t want to implicate this place and wanted to move away to fight to the death with the Red Moon cultivators.

Over the years, his fatigue had become extremely intense. He didn’t want to give up on this hopeless resistance, but reality forced him to feel bitter.

Seeing that Xu Qing had walked out and opened the desert, the fourth hall master gritted his teeth and his forces rapidly surged over.

He even personally took action to stall for time for everyone.

Booming sounds and spell fluctuations instantly spread in all directions.

Although the Red Moon cultivators were obstructed by the Poison Restriction, the experts among them quickly spread out, simultaneously intercepting and rushing in.

The large chicks around Xu Qing also rushed out to provide support. Xu Qing closed his eyes and pointed his right hand outside the desert.

“Ghost Emperor Mountain becomes the slaying platform, D132’s fortune shapes the blade groove!”

As soon as Xu Qing uttered those words, the color of the world changed and the surroundings resounded with thunderous noise. The Ghost Emperor Mountain and D132 manifested, casting a 10,000-foot-long shadow that shook the heavens and the earth, forming an executioner’s platform.

The Ghost Emperor held up the massive prison, and the power of fortune changed into a groove canyon.

The towering platform was awe-inspiring. Amidst the quaking earth, it descended upon the land, positioned behind the cultivators of the Moon Rebel Hall, blocking the path of the Red Moon cultivators.

The familiarity of this scene shocked all the cultivators.

“This is…”

“Very familiar!!”

As cries of surprise echoed, a strange glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes.

“Heavenly Dao transforms into the blade and the Divine Curse Poison Restriction transforms into its edge. Morning glow shall be the blade light!”

The sky churned and the mosasaur roared, transforming into a blade. The Poison Restriction gathered into the blade from all directions and added the Dao power that seemed to be able to slash the Dao. This was a heavenly blade. There was also a cold light from the morning glow that could break all techniques and also transform into myriad spells.

As soon as the heavenly blade appeared, regardless of whether it was the cultivators from the Moon Rebel or the Red Moon, the familiar feeling in their memories instantly soared. Some people had already recognized the reason.

“It’s the God Slaying Platform that appeared in our minds some time ago!”

“Exactly the same!”

“Could it be that the person who displayed the God Slaying Platform back then was this person?!”

The surroundings were in an uproar. Xu Qing decided not to hide his appearance anymore, revealing his true appearance that had appeared in the minds of all living beings back then.

As soon as his true appearance was revealed, everyone’s shock completely erupted. It was like lightning had exploded in their minds, shaking their entire bodies.

The cultivators of the Moon Rebel Hall were all excited. When they were most numb, it was the scene of the God Slaying Platform in their minds that made them pick up the intention to resist and burn the region with their spark of hope.

Now, when they were at their most despairing moment, they saw the God Slaying Platform again and the figure in their minds!

At this moment, this figure seemed to overlap with the ruler.

His voice was still echoing.

“The Golden Crow is the connection, and the Purple Moon is the seal!”

The Golden Crow danced and the Purple Moon formed runic marks. Under the control of the divine repository, they became one.

“Containing with time…”

“Controlling and commanding with the Sundial life lantern…”

Five sundials formed behind Xu Qing. The flames of the life lantern shook the night sky and the gnomons on them spun rapidly as the aura of time erupted.

At the next instant, it was quarter to noon!

“At noon on the Sundial, heaven and earth shall be slashed together!”

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed as he slashed out!

The heavenly blade descended from the sky like a huge curtain or a mountain range, causing the sky to be shrouded and the ground to tremble.

What it slashed wasn’t cultivators but the world.

The blade landed with endless divine might. When the blade came into contact with the blade groove, it cut through the void and shattered the void.

While intimidating everyone, it also completely severed the path of Red Moon’s cultivators.

A huge ravine directly appeared on the ground, stirring up a storm of endless baleful aura that spread to both sides.

The Red Moon cultivators were all shocked and had no choice but to stop.

At this moment, the ruler seemed to have manifested on Xu Qing and the world trembled at his appearance. The God Slaying Platform that appeared in the memories of all living beings back then was truly displayed in the world and in the eyes of the Red Moon cultivators and the hundreds of thousands of Moon Rebel cultivators.

It stirred a massive storm in their minds. It carried endless momentum and peerless killing intent as it stood outside the desert.

The fourth hall master looked at Xu Qing with a deep gaze. He led the hundreds of thousands of cultivators under him and took advantage of the intimidation formed by the God Slaying Platform to step into the desert.

As for the Nihility experts among the Red Moon cultivators, although their hearts were also shaken, the God Slaying Platform formed by Xu Qing’s cultivation was merely renowned and lacked the power to make them retreat. Thus, they were about to continue their intervention.

However, at this moment, from the depths of the desert, from the direction of the Bitter Life Mountain Range, a monstrous might rose.

In an instant, the sun, moon, and stars appeared in the sky, as though the stars had shifted. There was also a vast river of time flowing through the sky, bringing with it the aura of the Great Dao.

That was the energy of the Soul Accumulation!

Vaguely, a pair of eyes could be seen in the river of time.

Princess Mingmei’s eyes.

With this glance, all the Red Moon experts outside the desert were shocked and retreated immediately without hesitation. The reason why they dared to appear was because they had found out that the crown prince and the others had left.

But now, the aura of this Soul Accumulation caused them to be horrified.

Although it might be a deception, most Red Moon cultivators were averse to taking risks, especially with the impending arrival of the Red Moon. After all, this scene had at least expressed that there was still a Soul Accumulation’s arrangement left here.

Hence, stability became the main priority for the experts of the Red Moon.

Their retreat allowed the Moon Rebel Hall cultivators to finally step into the desert.

Upon entering, everyone turned their eyes towards Xu Qing, their expressions filled with excitement, and they all bowed in reverence.

Xu Qing, who was in the air, watched all of this. With a wave of his hand, the gap that opened up in the storm was closed again, blocking the sights of the Red Moon cultivators outside.

After doing this, Xu Qing gazed at everyone, before cupping his fists toward the fourth hall master, whose face was filled with fatigue.

“Greetings, Senior.”

The fourth hall master’s expression was solemn. He didn’t neglect Xu Qing at all because of the difference in their cultivation levels. He then bowed deeply to Xu Qing.

“Thank you for your help, little friend!”

Xu Qing nodded and was about to speak. However, at that moment, among the hundreds of thousands of cultivators who entered the desert, a group of thousands attracted Xu Qing’s attention because of their cheers and actions.

Previously, Xu Qing’s focus was on Red Moon cultivators, so he didn’t take a closer look. Now that he saw them, the clothes of these people caused Xu Qing to be startled.

Especially when he saw the actions of the woman at the front. She was so excited that she actually half-knelt on the ground and was kissing the sand.

The thousands of people behind her also acted the similar way.

Xu Qing blinked his eyes in surprise. Just as a strange feeling rose in his heart, the fourth hall master spoke softly, his voice filled with emotion.

“Little friend, these people are the followers of Master Pill Nine. The leader calls herself an apostle who listened to Master Pill Nine’s Dao voice for two months.”

“They gathered from all parts and are extremely united. They didn’t come with me and we only met on the way.”

“Their destination is this desert.”

“Because they guessed that Master Pill Nine was staying here.”

When Xu Qing heard this, he gazed at that group of people.

At that moment, this group of people was so excited that even the storm couldn’t suppress their discussion.

“This is our holy land!”

“That’s right. Master’s pill contains white wind. This means that the wind is the key to the pill. In the entire Moon Worship Region, only this place fulfills the conditions.”

“The apostle is right. Master must be staying here.”

“In this chaotic world, we have to find Master and protect him by his side!”

Looking at their fanatical expressions, Xu Qing felt a strange sensation. Moreover, after careful observation and considering the leading woman’s claim of listening to the Dao voice for two months, Xu Qing speculated that she might be the burly neighbor with bare chests.

Just like that, everyone returned to the Bitter Life Mountain Range.

The fourth hall master and the others returned to the campsite they had built before they left to rest. As for the group of followers of Master Pill Nine, they split off.

In the following days, this group of people dispersed in the Bitter Life Mountain Range and continued to search and inquire. Although there were no results, they were extremely persistent.

They also built their own campsite and it wasn’t far from the earth city Xu Qing was in.

They even built a statue there. This statue gazed exactly like Xu Qing’s statue in the Moon Rebel Hall.

Xu Qing had no choice but to pay attention to them. He had never had such an experience before. It was only on the day the statue was built that he really couldn’t help but make a trip there.

When he entered the campsite of the Pill Nine followers, Xu Qing saw that the thousands of cultivators here all had excited expressions. They even set up a large map that depicted the entire desert.

There were some areas marked on it. Clearly, those were the areas they had already searched.

Xu Qing’s arrival immediately attracted the attention of everyone. They greeted him one after another. The apostle woman also put down what she was doing and personally came to welcome him.

“Greetings, Fellow Daoist.” Dressed in athletic clothes and standing beside the statue of Pill Nine, she gazed quite capable. With a solemn expression, she bowed respectfully to Xu Qing, who was gazing at the statue.

Xu Qing was observing the statue and saw that it was lifelike and filled with even the minor details. When he heard this, he turned his head and his gaze landed on this valiant woman.

The image of the burly neighbor couldn’t help but appear in his mind, but he couldn’t overlap the two. Hence, he gazed at the statue and couldn’t help but remind her.

“As the Red Moon Star arrives, it’s not impossible for the Red Moon Shrines to enter the desert. It will be dangerous to leave the Bitter Life Mountain Range. You don’t have to go out and search like this.”

When the valiant woman heard this, she shook her head with a determined expression.

“It’s precisely because of this that we have to speed up our search. This is because Master might also be facing danger!”

Xu Qing hesitated and spoke.

“Master might be very safe… Besides, even if you encounter him, will you be able to recognize him?”

The woman laughed proudly, and the surrounding people also laughed.

“Fellow Daoist, you don’t understand.”

“After all, you haven’t seen Master before. As for me, I’ve heard to Master’s Dao voice for two months and tracked him countless times, sensing his majesty, compassion, and that distinctive aura, so I only need to take a look to recognize him!”

As she spoke, the woman glanced at Xu Qing.
