Chapter 1082

"This is the Eight Extremes Phase!"

In nothingness, Xu Qing opened his eyes; his physical body was above, and his soul rose from the shattered crystal painting; the moment he returned, realization spread in his heart.

He thought of the moment he realized the Eight Extremes Dao back then, when he had seen a white-haired cultivator in time and space.

The other party's Eight Extremes Dao was different from his own, but the Five Elements were the same, and it formed a Dharma Body.

Now, first there was the reincarnation life forming the root of the Five Elements, and then the root of the Five Elements transformed into the phase of the rules.

Thus, the Five Extremes and Five Elements were already complete.

The moment this thought surfaced in Xu Qing's heart, outside his body, amidst the ripples of nothingness, five Dao Body phases walked out suddenly.

The first body was an old man, wearing an official robe, holding an iron sword, his expression majestic, his momentum magnificent.

Wealth, power, and weapons gathered on him, forming a Metal fate and transforming into a Metal Dharma Body.

It was precisely Prime Minister Xu Jin Hong!

Following that was the second body, the merchant Xu Hong, wearing a wealthy robe, his expression gentle, surrounded by a long black river, rolling in all directions, forming a world-shocking momentum.

With Water fate in his body, he formed a Water Dharma Body!

Then was the third body, the bandit Xu Shan, full of the pugilistic world, grinning and laughing; he was stained with the mountains and forests, standing on a giant tree, one hand pressing his head, his eyes full of ferocity, his expression manic.

With rich Wood fate, rippling in nothingness, he formed a Wood Dharma Body!

Finally, the fourth and fifth bodies appeared one after another.

The fourth body, the physician Xu Yu, held a volcano in his palm, rising with world-destroying fire, erupting continuously, filling his entire body with flames, gathering with Fire fate, forming a Fire Dharma Body.

The fifth body, the commoner Xu Kun, his body was gathered like particles, composed of desert and dust, with a strong sense of heaviness; the moment he appeared, nothingness trembled.

With his Earth fate as the foundation, he settled into an Earth Dharma Body.

At this moment, all five Eight Extremes Dao phases appeared, each with heaven-shaking momentum, and the pressure they emitted was not inferior to Xu Qing's main body.

Xu Qing looked back, and the five Dao phases also gazed at him.

Realization rose in each other's hearts at the same time.

"The Five Elements generate and overcome each other, thus forming a reincarnation."

"And reincarnation can become the Eighth Extreme..."

But after pondering, Xu Qing shook his head.

"Although reincarnation is profound, there is still one path that contains reincarnation and transcends reincarnation; that is the Eighth Extreme I decided on at the beginning!"

Xu Qing revealed decisiveness in his eyes, giving up on using reincarnation as the Dao, and his gaze fell toward... the sixth and seventh pieces of the ten shattered crystal pieces.

That was Time and Space!

His soul moved, heading straight for these crystal fragments representing Time and Space.

Merging in an instant.

It was precisely...

Reincarnation forms, all things are born, causality descends, time turns.

I am searching.

I don't know what I am searching for either.

This seems to be my mission, because I am incomplete.

Perhaps it exists, or perhaps it doesn't.

It exists because this starry sky, this world, in all things, among all living beings, I am everywhere.

The eternal movement of all things, the continuity and sequence of change, are the evidence of my existence and the way I am willing to let all living beings perceive me.

So, like a river, I flow through all that is known and unknown.

Flowing between multiple things and events.

Flowing through the past, present, and future of all living beings; even stars, even the universe, need me to push them.

Whether it is night or day, whether it is reincarnation or causality, whether it is rules or laws, all are me.

If I am silent, everything stops.

If I rise, eras change.

But similarly, I do not exist.

Because I can be felt, but not truly seen; in many states, I originate from the mind.

I am considered a beginning, starting from an unknown moment; before this moment, there is no such thing as 'before'.

So I am considered not to exist before this, and to be meaningless.

It is the appearance and existence of all things that gave me existence, and also gave me meaning.

Others believe that I do not truly exist as a rule in the universe; I am just a concept formed by the movement of all living beings, a way to describe speed.

Even more believe that I am an illusion of living beings.

Thus, there are always people trying to judge whether I truly exist, trying to feel me, trying to explore me, trying to contact me.

And no matter how they think, no matter whether I exist or not, I don't care.

Because their ultimate goal, without exception, is to control.

Following this, I have many names; some call me Time, some call me More, some call me Point...

Too many, too many.

They are all their names.

Not mine.

I don't care.

And I am always searching, searching for an existence that I don't know what it is either.

I had thought that this boring and endless search would not have other things for me to truly pay attention to.

Until I met a few people, a few very special people.

They were very powerful, powerful enough to truly see me, powerful enough to become friends with me.

Some of them would occasionally come to chat with me, holding a flower in their hand, asking me if it looked good or not.

Some would sit on a boat in front of me and sigh softly.

Some would ask me what fate is here.

Others wanted me to write them an IOU.

But the one who accompanied me the most was a person who liked to wear black; in my long perception, he often sat in front of me, silently dazed.

Together with me, looking at all living beings, looking at all the infinity.

And at a certain point, he would wave his hand, influencing everything, letting everything return to the past and start over.

Once, once... countless times.

I don't understand.

But he told me he was resurrecting his wife.

I blessed him.

And then, they all disappeared.

Only I, still flowing.

Without beginning or end.

Always searching.

Until, I saw a butterfly.

The butterfly said its name was Sang Xiang.

Actually, the butterfly had appeared before, but I didn't pay attention, but this time, the butterfly flew before me.

Telling me that there was an existence called Universe that had been searching for Time.

That one and I met countless times, faced each other countless times, and missed each other countless times; finally... the other party understood that it and I were originally one body.

I exist, it exists; I perish, it perishes.

But we are water and ink that can never meet for eternity.

No one can find the other.

Only this butterfly, which can see it and can see me, can become the fate for us to meet.

Thus, the butterfly let me land on its body, because Universe was also within it.

I chose to land.

That instant... I finally saw Universe.

Universe also saw me.

It is precisely...

Time ripples, living beings evolve, Sang Xiang comes, Universe appears.

Time and Space, at this moment, merged, and at this instant, became complete.

Thus, Time and Space were formed!

This is...

Universe stands, Time rises, True Self emerges, Time and Space are created.

Xu Qing's consciousness woke up.

The Eighth Extreme within his body appeared suddenly!

Forming a deafening roar, swirling world-shockingly within his body.

After a long while, Xu Qing opened his eyes.

The moment his eyes opened and closed, everything he looked at was twisted.

Not clear at first.

But after closing his eyes, viewing with his mind, everything was crystal clear.

All things, in his thoughts, could see the past, present, and future, and even contained the inner essence.

All transparent, all revealed, from birth to death, from beginning to end.

In reincarnation, every living being existed in countless figures; that was the overlap formed by the gathering of Time and Space.

All became transparent, and all obstacles could not be hidden.

He could see the inner essence, see the bones, see the soul, see reincarnation.

Even the items in the storage space were crystal clear.

Like omniscience.

He could even control the thoughts of living beings, letting them make choices that met Xu Qing's needs.

He could even see the Time and Space formed by the countless choices of the other party.

Similar to fate.

This feeling was like looking at a notebook that could be modified by oneself at any time from a higher level.

Accompanying this perception was that every place could be reached in a single thought.

Whether past or future, all time, all space, could travel through Time and Space in an instant.

Omnipotent.

The moment this perception surfaced in Xu Qing's heart, he raised his head, his thoughts spreading.

Everything was transparent.

He saw the fire outside the scroll, saw the furnace, saw the small world he was in, saw the city outside the small world, and even saw the Fifth Star Ring where the small world was located.

And then, he saw all living beings, saw all things.

It seemed he could manipulate everything.

And just at this moment, the ripples of the crimson aurora in the firmament, in Xu Qing's perception, saw twelve figures.

They appeared in the aurora at the same time, gazing at Xu Qing from afar.

And above them, Xu Qing also saw eleven vast immortal palaces, each with figures inside, shining with brilliant light.

Further up... was a supreme existence sitting cross-legged, enveloping the entire Fifth Star Ring.

Immediately following, a voice came from nothingness.

"The Constitution is the root of the Immortal, the foundation of killing gods; to master the Constitution, one must first guard the Constitution!"

The next instant, Xu Qing's whole body shook.

He felt an indescribable terrifying force coming from all directions, coming from nothingness, coming from the entire thirty-six Upper Star Rings.

Falling upon his body.

This instant, Xu Qing truly understood why the Immortal, who should have been omnipotent, was no longer omnipotent in these Upper Star Rings.

Because, the master of the Constitution must first guard the Constitution!

And clearly, this kind of thing would not have happened to him so quickly originally.

The reason it was like this was because his Eighth Extreme... at the moment of its birth, also gave birth to the Constitution!

His own Constitution!

The Constitution of Time and Space.

Xu Qing realized, and the next instant, he withdrew his gaze, and the formation of the Eighth Extreme within his body set off a heaven-shaking force, continuously roaring within Xu Qing's body, forming the Eighth Realm.

Time and Space Realm!

At the same time, Western Domain, Dao Immortal Sect.

On the fertile fields, the two poisonous herbs before the Poison Monarch, the one that had withered, suddenly bloomed, instantly living from death, and growing to the extreme in an instant.

Afterward, it stood independently and disappeared before the Poison Monarch.

As for the one beside it, it withered at this moment.

And in the Poison Monarch's eyes, a strange gleam appeared, and his breathing became slightly rapid.

"You are the causality I am waiting for!"
