Outside of Time

Chapter 724: Open Your Palms Towards the Sun

After bowing, the General Alliance bowed their heads and bowed respectfully.

During this process, he could feel that the eyes of the seventh prince sitting high in the hall were always on him, so he did not try to hide his expression at all.

Whether it was reluctance, relief or final calmness, it was fully revealed. It was not until he left the hall and walked far away that he stood up straight again and walked towards his residence in the capital with a smile.

When he meets familiar colleagues on the road, he will say hello gently.

He was not self-sufficient because of his Guixu second-level cultivation. There was no airs on him. From the beginning to the end, his expression was gentle and elegant. When he returned to his residence, he lit a stick of incense and sat there. Take out the chessboard and play chess leisurely by yourself.

But if you look carefully, among the smoke birds, there is a natural coldness deep in their eyes, like a poisonous snake hidden in the belly of a lamb.

"On the first day I came here, I brought up the matter of the cauldron with His Highness Seventh Prince, but he didn't care at that time... but today he suddenly summoned me and raised the matter again..."

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Zongmeng's mouth. This was his instinct. Every time he thought about a problem, he always had a smile on his mouth.

"The warlord, along with tens of thousands of soldiers, and Ling Yun... have lost contact in Fenghai County!"

"At this moment, His Majesty Seventh Prince asked me to get the furnace cauldron."

The General League's smile was softer, and the coldness hidden deep in his eyes was also more hidden.

"So things should never be taken at face value. On the surface, he asked me to get the cauldron, but in fact, he used me as a pawn to use my hands to test the true situation of Fenghai County. Then he can analyze the reasons behind the missing army. the real reason."

"And he himself can advance, attack, retreat or defend. If something goes wrong with me, he can shirk it off at will."

The General League smiled and picked up the chess pieces. It was clear that they did not fall, but the chessboard turned into two chess pieces on its own.

This scene seems simple, but if Guixu stares here, his mind will definitely be in a state of confusion, because this simple action contains an almost extreme application and sublimation of the law, transcending all kinds of reality and reality.

The state of returning to the void includes thousands of ways of shattering the sky, thousands of transformations into reality and void, billions of thoughts opening up, and signs and phenomena returning to unity.

"I like the number three." Zongmeng chuckled, gentle and calm.

At the same time, in Fenghai County, in the Immortal Forbidden Land, in front of Fengniao Hall.

As the door opened, black swallowed everything.

Not only the figures of Xu Qing and Zixuan, but also their minds were integrated into the spread of black.

The main hall in front of me was silent and empty, as cold as a dungeon. There was only one statue standing in the middle, as if it was sealed in a cage.

This statue is of a middle-aged woman, similar to Zixuan, but obviously not. His appearance is graceful, his expression is smiling, his eyes are compassionate, and there is a lamp held at the corner of his eye.

Like the most precious treasure in her life, this lamp made of purple stone looks like a blooming purple flower, with a purple phoenix perched on it, its wings spread out and lifelike.

The moment he saw this lamp, the tearing feeling in Xu Qing's mind suddenly became intense, and the lost memories emerged one by one.

He turned around and looked at Zixuan. He remembered that he had entered here before and saw some pictures about Zixuan. He saw a woman who looked exactly like Zixuan appearing under the statue. He saw the door open and walked in. A man.

He also remembered the conversation in the picture. The man... seemed to be the son of the ancient emperor Xuanyou.

Everything appeared in Xu Qing's mind and turned into thunder, roaring in his mind.

At this moment, Zixuan was trembling. She looked at the statue with a sad expression. She let go of Xu Qing's hand and walked towards the statue unconsciously, murmuring in her mouth.

"My dream is a dark world with a light there."

"It was extinguished. I imagined it to be a blooming redbud with a purple phoenix perched on it."

"This light always appears in my dreams, dreams without light."

"The world of dreams is right here."

Zixuan's voice took on an ethereal meaning in this silent hall.

It seems that it came from the years and echoed in this life.

As she walked away, when she stood under the statue, the illusory body that appeared in Xu Qing's memory actually overlapped with Zixuan standing there, indistinguishable from each other.

She looked at the statue with admiration and bitterness in her eyes.

And then, the scene in Xu Qing's memory appeared in front of him again.

The prince's figure penetrated his body from behind and stood in front of Zixuan. The four-clawed golden dragon's royal robe and the nine-bead emperor's crown shook, making this figure exude a strong power of heaven.

The prince seemed to have said something, but Xu Qing couldn't hear it. He could only see Zixuan looking at the outside world with deep nostalgia and sadness in his eyes.

[In view of the general environment,

But this time, there was something different from what he remembered. He heard Zixuan's voice.

"I will not leave."

"My father's decision is wrong. He abandons his people, his homeland, and turns the outer world into a holy land. What's the meaning of life if he lives there alone."

"To survive for oneself and ignore the ancient catastrophe, this ancient emperor... he is not worthy."

Zi Xuan is sad and angry.

Xu Qing was shocked when he heard these words.

The figure in imperial robes fell silent. After a while, he stretched out his hand as if making a last-ditch effort. Zixuan's eyes showed determination and he shook his head again.

In the end, the prince looked lonely and took out a purple vial. After doing this towards the statue, he put the vial aside and turned around silently. His expression was filled with sadness and a touch of pain. He walked towards the door of the main hall and walked from Xu. Qing passed in front of him, getting farther and farther away.

As he disappeared, the door of the hall slowly closed.

The entire hall was quiet, except for the firework from the lamp, which kept burning and making a slight sound. As the flame swayed, the light illuminated the hall.

In the firelight, Zixuan looked sad, squatting down against the statue, crying silently.

The scene in Xu Qing's memory ends here.

But this time, what appeared in front of him was not over.

Time seemed to have no value in this hall, flowing silently until miserable wailing and painful roars came from the outside world.

Bloody light spread outside, and a faint cry for help could be heard.

Zixuan's figure stood up again at this moment, and a set of armor appeared on her body, penetrating Xu Qing's body step by step, and walked out of the hall.

Xu Qing couldn't move. He could only watch silently. I don't know how long it had passed. The sounds from the outside world slowly disappeared. Zixuan's figure returned to the hall with fatigue and weakness.

Most of her armor was broken into pieces, and her body was covered with scars. But holding the head in her hand, Zixuan's figure slowly walked to the statue and stared at it. There was a touch of tenderness on her pale face.

"Mother, I can only kill that foreign god once. She will revive here after a few years. However, she will no longer have the status of a god after she revives. In addition, I used the magic you once taught me, mother. Curse, she will die from cannibalism in the future, but unfortunately... I can't see it anymore."

Zixuan whispered, trying to pick up the purple vial and add some oil to the oil lamp, but was unable to do so. In the end, he could only sit down against the statue and slowly closed his eyes.

The soul flies and the soul disperses.

The lamp was still burning, but without the addition of lamp oil, as time passed, its flame gradually dimmed until it completely disappeared.

The entire hall fell into darkness and coldness.

As the fire faded, and as the outside world fell silent, darkness fell, swallowing everything.

Time passes and the years change.

After an unknown number of years passed, the Immortal Forbidden Land suddenly experienced a tremor one day.

A sense of recovery rose, a low roar of the gods echoed, and flesh and blood appeared in the forbidden land of immortality. Flesh and blood covered the earth, submerging every hall, including here.

A long, long time passed until this day, in this dark hall

Inside, a purple circle suddenly appeared in front of the statue.

It appeared out of thin air, and the moment it appeared, it immediately caused a roar throughout the Immortal Forbidden Land.

And at the moment when this spiritual thought swept over, a hand stretched out from the purple circle, grabbed the extinguished lamp, and pulled it into the circle.

This hand seemed to want to grab the purple vial, but it was too late, so it left decisively.

But it was still a little late. The divine thoughts from the Immortal Forbidden Gods came overwhelmingly and hit the purple circle hard, touching the hand.

The circle collapsed and turned into countless fragments, blending into the endless nothingness.

The hand trembled, and although it still left, the wick of the lamp in the hand fell off and was lost in nothingness, without knowing its whereabouts.

The picture disappeared at this moment, disappearing in front of Xu Qing's eyes, along with the hall and the statue, and the place turned into ruins again.

Just like a dream, when you wake up from the dream, everything is gone, only Zixuan stands on the ruins, like a cold plum with proud snow, standing in the quiet valley.

No matter whether there were people around her or not, she felt like she was alone in a deserted wilderness.

Looking at the sky, looking lonely.

After a long while, she said softly: "Let's go back."

Xu Qing walked over silently, and walked out together with Zixuan. They did not speak along the way until they left the Immortal Forbidden Land.

It was night when they came, and it was no longer daytime when they left.

The sky was blue and the sun was bright. Looking at the bleak figure of Zixuan in front of him, Xu Qing suddenly called him to stop.

Zixuan turned around and stared at Xu Qing. Xu Qing didn't say anything and just asked him to stretch out his palm.

Under the sunlight, Zixuan's palm was clear, one by one, like destiny.

"What's in your palm?" Xu Qing asked.

Zixuan was confused and shook his head.

Xu Qing looked into Zixuan's eyes and spoke softly.

"In the palm of your hand, there is sunshine."
