Outside Of Time

As for Xu Qing, he didn't pay any attention to the others. He continued on his way while channeling the purple crystal within his body to accelerate his physical recovery. Due to the immense power of the previous lightning tribulation, his skin had suffered severe damage. As a result, during this recovery process, Xu Qing's skin began to peel.

Just like that, half a month passed.

As the restrictive power in the air weakened, the captain's artificial sun was able to rise once again, causing their speed to increase. Hence, half a month later, the Heavenly Bull Mountain was reflected in everyone's eyes.

The Unending Heavenly Bull Mountain was located in the Unending Mountain Range.

The mountain range was huge and there were many small sects and clans on it.

Because the environment was different from the north and east, the vegetation here was lush. The entire mountain range was green, and even the sky wasn't that dim.

Life force was very abundant here.

"Do you see that? The tallest mountain is the Heavenly Bull Mountain."

The captain pointed at the distant mountain range and spoke proudly.

"Let me tell you guys. Back then, this Heavenly Bull Mountain was the holy land here. Its status was extremely high!"

"But let's not dwell on the past; those were just past glories. Now, here, there are many sects that have formed an alliance."

"As for the name, ahem, they were touched by the legends here, so they named it the Heavenly Bull Alliance."

When the captain said these words, he felt extremely comfortable. After he obtained this information in Fenghai County, he had been in a good mood for a few days.

When Xu Qing heard this, he appropriately displayed admiration and looked at the sky.

"Do you feel that it's brighter than other places?" The captain smiled.

"This is because the sky here has been broken before and the mountain range is special. It can emit a certain amount of light, so this Unending Mountain Range is quite famous in the Moon Worship Region."

"Let's go. I'll bring you guys to the main city at the foot of the mountain first."

"Because there are many cultivators here, a city slowly formed at the foot of the mountain. It's very lively inside."

The captain placed his hands behind his back and led Xu Qing and the others forward as though he was returning home. Very soon, a huge city appeared in Xu Qing's vision.

The distant bustling sounds suggested that there were many cultivators from various tribes as well as common people living in this place.

Outside the city gate, the captain deliberately coughed and raised his chin, indicating that they should look at the name of the city on the wall.

Welcome to Bull City.

These four words exuded an ancient aura, as though they had existed for a long time.

Wu Jianwu and Ning Yan looked at the name of the city and couldn't help but look at the captain. The captain was delighted and looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing stared at the four words and his expression changed.

The captain laughed and walked forward in satisfaction.

"Do you see that? This is a city built to welcome me. Since I'm here, I'm at home."

The captain was in high spirits as he strode forward. However, there was a small interlude when they entered the city gate. They had to pay a considerable amount of spirit stones to enter.

The captain had just said that this was his home, so he was a little unhappy about the fee.

Ning Yan lowered his head and Wu Jianwu looked around. They didn't have money.

Xu Qing blinked and could tell that the captain was unhappy. Hence, he comforted him softly.

"Eldest Senior Brother, it's fine. They don't know who you are. Moreover, this is your territory to begin with. Isn't this fee also yours?"

The captain's eyes revealed admiration. He felt that Little Qing was really too considerate. Hence, he paid the spirit stones happily from his own pocket and brought them into the city.

What greeted them was a lively atmosphere. There were many people from different races and sects in this city. There were also many shops and it looked very prosperous.

As he walked in the city, the captain looked around with emotions in his eyes. When he saw a spiritual pool establishment, he stopped in his tracks and a reminiscent expression appeared on his face.

"This Unending Mountain Range has a spiritual river that winds down, forming several spiritual pools. Over the years, it seems that even the cities below the mountain have diverted water from it. Back in the day, I used to enjoy taking baths on the mountain, and the female cultivators from below would soak in my bathwater."

"Let's go. I'll bring you guys to take a bath first. After everyone is refreshed, we'll go to my house."

As the captain spoke, he walked toward that spiritual pool establishment.

The owner was also a cultivator. When he saw Xu Qing and the others, he nodded slightly. After collecting the fees, he brought them in.

The pools in the building weren't small and there were many people. Although it was divided into individual areas, amidst the piping hot air, the sounds of laughter and chatting could still be heard.

At this point, Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu each occupied one individual area. They took off their robes and soaked in the pool, revealing comfortable expressions. This was especially so for Wu Jianwu. He simply spent more money to let his sons enjoy the spiritual pool.

The captain was alone in a pool. He spread his arms and leaned against the edge, letting out a long breath.

Xu Qing was in another pool. Ling'er crawled out and quickly transformed into her human form. She leaned against Xu Qing with a red face and narrowed her eyes.

Xu Qing smiled and closed his eyes. His mood also calmed down.

He had shed his skin many times on the journey. Now that his body was soaking in the spiritual pool, his entire body was being nourished, and it felt very comfortable.

After they got used to the atmosphere here, the laughter and chatter in the surroundings no longer felt noisy. It was as though this was a part of the pool.

After some time, some discussions in the pool in the distance attracted Xu Qing's attention.

"What a pity. All the spiritual pools at the foot of the mountain will be closed next month. It's said that the spiritual river has been completely cut off and will be gathered in the sect."
