Outside Of Time

Xu Qing's heart churned. He didn't expect that there was actually such a miraculous existence as an Immortal Source in this world!

The effect of this Immortal Source that surpassed the Heavenly Dao was even more unbelievable.

"The source of all the Profound Earth cultivation arts…"

Xu Qing took a deep breath and instinctively looked at the ground. Before this, he knew that under the Wanggu Continent, what was sealed was the former Brilliant Heaven. He also knew that outside the Wanggu Continent, this starry sky actually belonged to Brilliant Heaven.

What the Wanggu Continent suppressed was only one of the many worlds of the Brilliant Heaven Divine World.

As for the Profound Earth, the homeland of the Summer Immortal, it was also the true origin of all the myriad races in the Wanggu, and was located even further below.

That place must be endless and extremely vast, with countless lives. All their cultivation arts, divine arts, and spells were formed from the Immortal Source jointly forged by the nine Summer Immortals.

It analyzed, collected, organized, and disseminated.

As a result, in the myriad worlds of the Profound Earth, the flowers of cultivation bloomed eternally, and there were countless techniques. Many people obtained techniques through various means, but all of them ultimately originated from this Immortal Source.

The nature of this phenomenon, its impact, left Xu Qing profoundly shaken, unable to put it into words. In his mind, there was only the concept of greatness.

At the same time, Xu Qing also thought of the little butterfly's attack when she transformed into a human. Regardless of whether it was the Withering Flame Demon Magic True Self Dao or the Marsh Kingdom, they clearly came from Immortal Source.

'It's conceivable that someone who mastered and used such divine power to the fullest extent would have been among the elites of the Profound Earth.'

'In that case, I wonder if there are similar things in the Wanggu Continent…'

Xu Qing fell into deep thought, and the little butterfly seemed to have guessed his thoughts. Hence, its voice echoed.

"Are you wondering if there are any similar Immortal Sources in the Wanggu Continent? Let me tell you, because of the will of the Brilliant Heaven, the effect of the Immortal Source is limited in the Wanggu Continent. It can only collect, but cannot evolve or propagate."

"Only the successors of the Summer Immortal Palace from each race can utilize their respective permissions to comprehend from the Immortal Source under certain conditions. Outsiders do not have this opportunity."

"Even I have to pay a price to obtain this opportunity. The rule of the Immortal Source is equivalent exchange!"

"Last time at the Star Emperor Branch Sect, I risked my life to secretly steal a treasure for the Immortal Source, but you are actually getting an opportunity so easily!"

In the ancient temple, the little butterfly's voice echoed. Its crisp and clearly unconvinced voice also added a hint of liveliness to the ancient temple.

Xu Qing glanced at the Summer Immortal Palace Master and then at the little butterfly. A guess couldn't help but rise in his mind. Perhaps… the liveliness of this little butterfly was one of the reasons why the Summer Immortal Palace Master took her as a disciple back then.

Here, immersed in the river of time, steeped in ancient history, the colors were too plain, too monotonous, loneliness and vicissitudes permeating the place to an overwhelming degree.

All of this led those living here to be deeply affected, naturally acquiring a sense of age.

Yet, the existence of their mission meant that the Summer Immortal Palace had to persist in this way generation after generation.

'Someday, when this small butterfly becomes the Summer Immortal Palace Master… she might also become like the current Palace Master before us, born in the present but living in the past, traversing life within the bounds of duty and experiencing the vicissitudes of time.'

Xu Qing shifted his gaze away from the little butterfly, not caring about her tone. Instead, he looked at the Summer Immortal Palace Master and cupped his hands.

"Senior, I understand."

"This… can be done, but I want to see the Immortal Source with my own eyes."

The Summer Immortal Palace Master didn't speak. She only lifted her jade-like hand and guided it slightly toward the candlelight on the altar in front of her. Immediately, the flames of the six burning candles rose greatly and spread out.

It was clearly just a candle flame, but as it spread, it actually formed a rotating sea of fire in the half-empty space of the ancient temple. Amidst the booming rotation, the radiance became much brighter than before, illuminating the dim ancient temple brightly.

On the surrounding murals, the ancient sovereigns seemed to have come alive under this light and emitted the imperial might of the human race.

This might fused with the sea of fire and finally formed a scene.

Its true location remained unknown. It seemed to be merely a window to another realm, revealing a vibrant void within.

Within this void grew an immensely colossal plant.

It was… a dandelion.

Its stem was imprinted with countless runic marks, and every one of them emitted a terrifying and astonishing might. When gathered together, these marks rendered the dandelion pearlescent, mysterious, and utterly unique.

It was as though… back then, after the nine Summer Immortals overturned this Brilliant Heaven Divine World, they buried most of the gods they slaughtered here.

Let Them provide eternal nourishment to the dandelion.

At the same time, the divine souls of these gods were also restricted here. They were forced to kneel and let out heart-rending and terrifying wails. Their divine sounds could better promote the operation of the dandelion.

This was the Immortal Source.

It was the Immortal Source created by the nine Summer Immortals, burying a divine world!

In the mud formed by the flesh and blood of gods, there were still over a hundred corpses that hadn't completely decomposed. It was as though Their existence was too astonishing and the time needed for Them to decompose was infinitely long.

Among them, Xu Qing only took a glance at one of the corpses before his mind rumbled. His body showed signs of collapsing and the divine sources in his body trembled.

This scene caused Xu Qing's breathing to pause.

That corpse was the largest among all the corpses in this land of fleshy soil. Because he didn't have a reference, it was difficult to judge Its exact size.

However, the aura from Its body was the strongest Xu Qing had seen so far. Compared to It, the Crimson Goddess was like a firefly. Even the Sword Holding Emperor was only a firefly.

This god had imperial qi!

"That's the former God Emperor of this divine world."

The sound of the Summer Immortal Palace Master rang out ethereally.

Xu Qing's heart stirred. In the end, he retracted his gaze and looked at the dandelion.

It was in full bloom and released countless furry seeds. They weren't white but tricolored in red, yellow, and blue. At this moment, they drifted into the surrounding void, continuously dispersing farther and farther away.

One could imagine that these seeds were cultivation arts and divine arts, spreading across the myriad worlds of the Profound Earth.

At the same time, some seeds were returning from the void, integrating into the dandelion, being absorbed, transformed, and then dispersing once again.

The cycle repeated.

Xu Qing stared at this scene and felt deep respect for this Immortal Source. He slowly released a soul seed from his body and let it drift in front of him.

The soul seed shone with a purple light. Under Xu Qing's divine sense, it passed through the window and flew toward the emptiness where the dandelion was. The moment it entered, it also transformed into the appearance of a dandelion seed and got close to the dandelion.

At the next instant, it fused into it.

As for Xu Qing's divine consciousness contained in the soul seed, it should have been instantly erased, causing the soul seed to be blank. However, as the Summer Immortal Palace Master waved her hand, the burning power of the candle interfered, causing this process to slow down.

"Outsiders can't directly comprehend the Immortal Source. They only have this chance at the moment they contribute, but it's fleeting. However, with my authority, I can allow the consciousness in your soul seed to exist for ten breaths. You can grasp it yourself and see what divine powers you can obtain."

Summer Immortal Palace Master's sound echoed in Xu Qing's mind. Xu Qing heard it but couldn't respond.

This was because at that moment, his mind was churning intensely. Countless heavenly lightning bolts exploded in his ears and his perception fell into an indescribable state.

It was as though he had entered the void where the dandelion was. There was minced meat below and a dandelion that was as tall as the sky in front of him.

As for his size, it was the same as the seeds of the dandelion.

Around him were countless dandelion seeds. A large number of blurry figures emerged in each of them and they were all displaying divine powers and spells.

They were densely packed and endless.

He seemed to be able to learn all of them but there were too many cultivation arts and they were of varying quality, mixed together. It was unrealistic to examine them one by one.

In this short period of time, it was impossible for him to use this method to find the most suitable technique. Hence… Xu Qing didn't choose to check them one by one.

Instead, he observed. Regardless of whether it was in front of him or in the distance, he was observing everything within the range of his divine consciousness, scanning past the dandelion seeds.

A few breaths later, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He saw a dandelion seed. This was a little different from the others. It wasn't going out but returning.The most update n0vels are published on N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.nᴇt

Although there were also figures inside, compared to the many people in the other dandelion seeds, there were only two figures sitting cross-legged on the left and right.

In addition, the moment Xu Qing looked at this seed, the Purple Moon power in his body truly reacted.

Time was limited and Xu Qing didn't have time to think too much. He was decisive and controlled his divine consciousness to rapidly approach the dandelion seed. However, the process wasn't smooth.

That seed was a little far away.

Most importantly, the location it drifted to was directly above the God Emperor's corpse. Although it was far away from the corpse, the pressure was very intense.

However, if he waited for the seed to pass by on its own before taking it, there wouldn't be enough time.

Xu Qing could sense that his divine sense was already showing signs of dissipating. He understood that there wasn't much time left.

"I'll risk it!"

Xu Qing sped forward, displaying his speed to the extreme. He avoided the other seeds along the way and rapidly got closer. The God Emperor's corpse below also became clearer.

There was finally a reference to judge Its size. Compared to It, Xu Qing was like a strand of hair on Its body!

The pressure from the God Emperor's corpse became even more terrifying. Even though Xu Qing was very far above It now, he was still affected. The heavenly lightning in his mind instantly reached the extreme and the body formed by his divine sense was about to collapse.

Xu Qing steeled his heart. Before he collapsed from the pressure, he burned his divine sense himself. Amidst the rumbling sounds, his divine sense body was destroyed. However, with the help of this burning power, he finally rushed forward for a distance.

He came into contact with the drifting dandelion seed.

The moment they came into contact, an ancient and dignified sound echoed in Xu Qing's mind.

"This realm of heaven and earth can be likened to a well…"
