Outside Of Time

'Rejuvenating all things,' these three simple words, spoken in an indifferent tone, conveyed a strong sensation to Xu Qing.

Especially the part about how it was irreversible for herself, there was a faint hint of unspeakable sadness.

The youngest daughter of the ruler was born with authority. However, to her, this power might not be a blessing.

She was using her life to revive all things.

While this power was powerful, it was also extremely cruel. Moreover, there was clearly a limit.

The heir instinctively raised his hand and placed it in front of his fifth sister.

He had always done this since he was young, and not just him, all his brothers and sisters did the same.

Princess Mingmei did the same.

"There's no need. I won't be able to live for long," the black-robed old granny calmly said.

"Even if you can't live for long, you still have to live!" The heir frowned and revealed a dignified expression. This was also the first time he had spoken in such a domineering manner.

He lightly patted his hand; a breath of life emanated from him, heading straight towards the black-robed old lady.

It forcefully fused into her.

At the next instant, the black-robed old granny's body trembled and the aura on her body clearly became denser. She looked at her big brother in front of her with a complicated expression.

Princess Mingmei did the same. Xu Qing thought about it and also sent out a drop of Purple Moon's blood.

"Forget about yours."

The heir flicked the drop of blood back to Xu Qing. After that, he flicked his sleeve and everyone's figures disappeared together with the black and white door.

…

Three days later.

On the green sand desert, there was a vortex on the ground. Xu Qing was trying his best to climb up.

The weight from the sun made him experience difficulty again in the desert.

This time, Princess Mingmei didn't drag him out. She, the heir, and their fifth sister were sitting cross-legged in the sky in front of the huge black and white door.

The opening of this door clearly couldn't be completed in an instant. It required the three of them to continuously integrate their power into. Hence, after returning here, the three Soul Accumulation cultivators began to cast spells.

As for Xu Qing, who no one cared about, he chose to cultivate on his own.

"This desert is the best place for me to adjust to the sun."

"If I can walk normally in the desert without sinking, it will be even easier when I return to the Bitter Life Mountain Range."

"If I am able to do this, I can attempt to fly!"

"Once I can fly normally, my other nascent souls will be able to advance."

Xu Qing mumbled inwardly.

The fruit formed by the Spirit Repository was a great nourishing pill for his cultivation breakthrough.

However, although Princess Mingmei had given it to him, the heir still reminded Xu Qing not to eat it immediately.

Before other nascent souls adapted to the pressure of the sun, swallowing the fruit might indeed promote nascent soul growth, but it also squandered a valuable opportunity for tempering.

Because enduring the pressure of the sun could fully hone the potential of the nascent souls, it would be equivalent to boosting the nascent souls' growth limit. Swallowing the fruit at that time would be the most perfect.

Princess Mingmei didn't refute this.

Hence, based on these thoughts, Xu Qing immersed himself in his cultivation.

Time flowed by and very soon, another three days passed.

During these three days, Xu Qing tirelessly controlled his nascent souls, causing them to erupt repeatedly. Each time he pushed them to the limit, his body would sink into the desert.

After resting inside, he began the same cultivation again.

With this repetitive process, he had reached a point where he could walk in the desert without sinking more than a foot.

"This is the current limit. It's possible to avoid any sinking at all, but the duration will be limited to two hours. After that, the nascent souls will reach their restriction and require recovery before I can continue."

Xu Qing fell silent. Just as he was wondering if there were any other methods that could assist him in adapting, an intense knock suddenly rang out from the sky.

Although there would occasionally be knocks on the door in the past few days, this time it was noticeably louder, shaking the heart and soul.

Xu Qing stared at the sky.

In the sky, the three siblings also opened their eyes.

"Old Eighth's personality is still so explosive."

The heir frowned and looked at Princess Mingmei.

"It's about time."

"His consciousness doesn't seem to have completely awakened."

Princess Mingmei was expressionless as she calmly spoke.

"Like when we were young, just give him a beating, and it'll be fine."

"Alright!" The heir nodded and performed a series of hand seals with both hands, pointing at the door.

Princess Mingmei and Fifth Sister did the same.

Seeing that these three Soul Accumulation cultivators were like this, Xu Qing instinctively ran into the distance. He had heard their conversation and didn't want to get too close.

Reality proved that Xu Qing's actions were correct.

This was because when he ran for five kilometers, the knocking on the door in the sky was already extremely intense. It was as though a terrifying existence had transformed the sky into a war drum and was knocking with all its might.

A deafening sound rang out, causing the ground to collapse and shatter. Even the void showed signs of shattering.

The green sand desert, however, clearly possessed a strangeness. Different from the outside world, the fluctuations generated here seemed to naturally have the effect of concealment.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought and understood that this might be the reason why the heir and the others chose to undo the seal here.

"Five kilometers is still a little too close…"

The power of the Purple Moon erupted; blood filled the air and his speed suddenly skyrocketed.

Although the heir didn't permit him to rely on the Purple Moon's power, Xu Qing felt that it didn't matter if he used it at this moment.

Just like that, after a few breaths, Xu Qing was already 50 kilometers away. Only then did his heart calm down. He lifted his head and looked at the distant sky.
