Chapter 1083: The Arrival of Time and Space Qing

The aurora in the firmament of the Western Domain flowed like river water, giving people a sense of ripples.

The crimson color, like fresh blood, rendered the heavens and earth while forming brilliant beauty.

"That is also a kind of Constitution."

Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the aurora.

Before this, in Xu Qing's eyes, the aurora was just an astronomical phenomenon of the Fifth Star Ring, but now... it was different.

In that aurora, it clearly contained countless marks and runes, which intersected with each other, appearing and disappearing, forming one rule and law after another, turning into one trace of origin and Dao source after another.

And intertwined into one authority Dao trace after another.

Nourishing all living beings and guiding the path of cultivation.

"That is an existence in the Fifth Star Ring that is similar to the Heavenly Dao but transcends the Heavenly Dao."

"It is the concrete manifestation of the Constitution."

"It is even more the guardian of the cultivation system of the Fifth Star Ring."

"One can imagine that if the Fifth Star Ring chooses to expand and chooses to conquer other star rings, then wherever the battlefield covers, this aurora will surely flow."

"Because it has already become the symbol of the Fifth Star Ring."

Xu Qing's eyes were clear. He couldn't see these inner qualities before, but now, they were very clear.

At the same time, in this aurora, he also saw twelve stars!

Those were twelve vast figures.

They were indescribable and could not be seen clearly.

"Twelve Patrol Angels."

Xu Qing knew their identities and even more knew their cultivation bases. These were twelve Lower Immortals who transformed into stars, walked in the aurora, guarded all directions, and patrolled the heavens.

In the entire Fifth Star Ring, outside the Immortal Capital, there were sixteen Immortals on the surface.

The orthodox ones in the East, South, West, and North each had one, and the remaining twelve were all in the aurora.

But it was not to say that there were only these sixteen Lower Immortals in the Fifth Star Ring.

Whether it was the Ferrymen or the existences guarding other areas of the Fifth Star Ring, there were Lower Immortals, and the place with the most... was obviously the Immortal Capital.

That place in the Fifth Star Ring that everyone yearned for and wanted to join.

A long time later...

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, looked down at the earth, his pace not fast, his mind calm.

Walked through the plains.

Time rippled on the plains, grass and trees grew instantly, and withered in an instant. All things were like this, and the birds and beasts on the plains also had different responses in this moment.

Either sudden panic or a moment of confusion.

And as Xu Qing left, everything returned to normal.

Walked through the mountains.

The mountains were blurry, as if wiped away, and then appeared again. The cracks on the stones were the same; time and space appeared chaotic because of Xu Qing's passing.

The sects and families within, all cultivators, felt palpitations at this moment.

Xu Qing clearly didn't walk fast and clearly flew over in their eyes.

But they couldn't see Xu Qing. No matter how they looked up, no matter how they investigated, they couldn't see Xu Qing's existence.

They could only see a vast shadow that seemed to cover the sky, flashing past the family mountain range where they were.

It was as if they were living in a painting, and Xu Qing walked outside the painting, so only the shadow swayed on the painting.

And, it exceeded their cognition and understanding.

"My state of merging into time and space, the status I have improved, makes them unable to perceive... just like when I didn't possess the time and space state and didn't possess my own Constitution, looking at the aurora from afar, I couldn't see the inner quality of the aurora, nor could I see the stars within it."

"Because at that time, I was like them, unable to understand a higher status."

"It is the time and space state, it is the Constitution, that gave me the qualification to 'see'."

Xu Qing pondered and continued to move forward.

Walked through one area after another, causing shock in one party after another.

But Xu Qing didn't intervene, and precisely because of this, after leaving, the places he passed all returned to normal.

These scenes made Xu Qing's thoughts spread, gradually becoming familiar with his current state.

Gradually, he felt that he, in this state of time and space, had a sense of freedom in his soul and thinking.

Although there was the restraint of a higher Constitution, compared to the past, it was still much freer.

But at the same time, he also felt that he could not sustain this state for too long.

It was not that the ability of his own time and space state was insufficient, but because of his physical body.

He could feel that without a physical body, his current self could forever immerse in the time and space state of the eighth extreme.

But because of his physical body, he could not stay in the time and space state for too long.

His physical body seemed to have become a burden.

And if his thinking and soul entered the time and space state for too long, his physical body would gradually wither, his vitality would dissipate, and the connection between him and himself would become less and less.

This phenomenon attracted Xu Qing's attention.

So he thought about it and simply used his time and space state thinking to look at his physical body.

After a while, Xu Qing withdrew his thoughts.

He saw many futures for his physical body.

Among them, more than half were that this physical body slowly stopped belonging to himself.

Withered between heaven and earth.

"But I observe all Immortals, all have physical bodies, not abandoning them and only leaving consciousness."

"And... wanting to advance to Sovereign also requires a physical body, and advancing to Quasi-Immortal requires shaping an Immortal Embryo, only then can one become an Immortal."

"Then... what is the reason for my current state? I should have the answer."

"It is my eighth extreme, under the explosive accumulation, nearly transcending, reaching a very high status, and my physical body cannot keep up, so it is like this."

Xu Qing walked all the way and pondered all the way.

"The solution is to improve my realm as soon as possible. Stepping into the Sovereign realm should be able to solve it. Even if it still doesn't work, at least it can be alleviated."

"The Sovereign realm requires reaching the ninth realm of the Spirit Treasury."

"Then my ninth extreme..."

Xu Qing pondered, step by step, walking toward where Li Mengtu was.

He was actually not in a hurry to appear before Li Mengtu immediately.

If he were in a hurry, he could arrive in one step.

But he chose to slow down this process.

On one hand, he needed to adapt to the eighth extreme and needed to ponder the path he was taking now and the path in the future.

On the other hand, in Li Mengtu's traces, Xu Qing saw that the other party was currently conducting a fierce hunt.

To be precise, it was a slaughter between two families.

Both sides were doing their best, with many casualties.

And the battle that decided the outcome was right there at Li Mengtu's place.

His enemy was an old man in the late stage of the Sovereign realm. The intensity of the battle made it so that this hunt could be reversed at any time, and the hunter could instantly become the prey.

Xu Qing chose not to participate in this slaughter.

The Dao struggle between Li Mengtu and him, compared to the various filth Xu Qing had seen in the past, could be considered upright.

So Xu Qing also gave uprightness to the other party.

Until this slaughter was nearing its end, Xu Qing arrived late.

In a way that most cultivators could not understand, he walked into the valley where the two families were fighting.

His soul merged into time and space, covering his physical body. What descended here was his thinking.

And the thinking of the time and space state appeared in this valley, without a specific form, unable to be seen, unable to be perceived. What could be perceived... was only a shadow.

This shadow was not covering the earth, but covering all directions, regardless of space and time, regardless of the past, present, and future of all living beings, the shadow was everywhere.

Enveloping within life.

The moment it swept over, the cultivators of the two families fighting all trembled, inexplicably palpitating, and fear uncontrollably rose in their hearts.

And Li Mengtu in mid-air, his expression changed instantly.

The old man in the late stage of the Sovereign realm who was fighting him had his pupils shrink suddenly, his breathing became rapid in an instant, and while his heart was pounding, his body retreated rapidly.

His speed was so fast that he didn't care about the cost.

Although he was like everyone else, without the ability to perceive this scene specifically, and could only feel the shadow, he was not an ordinary cultivator after all. Even if he didn't understand, he knew the Constitution.

It was like a blind person, unable to perceive colors, nor understand them, but he knew the existence of colors.

The difference was that colors had no danger for blind people, but the Constitution could decide life and death for the old man.

So for the first time, he chose to retreat without hesitation.

He knew very well that for such a great power possessing the Constitution, his life and death were all in a single thought. Facing such an existence, all he could do was instinctively retreat.

And Li Mengtu at this moment, with his expression changing sharply, looked at the shadow that was everywhere, and took a deep breath.

He naturally knew what kind of existence had arrived.

When he didn't possess the Constitution, for the Constitution, although he couldn't perceive it, nor understand it, like that old man, he knew what it was.

In addition, although the inheritance in the center of his eyebrows was incomplete, making him unable to master it, this inheritance also gave him a certain degree of "seeing".

Just like now, what the other cultivators here saw and felt in their hearts was the shadow that was everywhere, but in his eyes, amidst the blur and twisting, he could vaguely see a figure that was not clear.

As if, outside the world, it was gazing at himself.

So he suppressed his palpitations and bowed.

"I am Li Mengtu. I don't know which senior has come here, and what is the matter?"

"Li Daoist, the Dao struggle between you and me hasn't ended yet."

Xu Qing's voice vibrated in this time and space, causing storms, causing mountains to shake, like heavenly sound.

The moment it fell into Li Mengtu's heart, Li Mengtu's mind roared with thunder instantly, his expression suddenly revealed incredulity, followed by disbelief and confusion, and finally complexity.

He transmitted a hoarse voice with difficulty.

"Xu Qing?"

Almost the moment he shouted Xu Qing's name, Xu Qing moved time and space.

Time and space power operated silently, and in just an instant... Li Mengtu's state returned to before the battle from the injury he had suffered while fighting the old man earlier.

No injuries at all.

"You once said that the Dao struggle between you and me, life and death, no resentment, no regrets, and my Constitution was formed, and you also had cause and effect in it."

"Then, do you want to continue now?"

Xu Qing's voice seemed to come from outside the heavens.

Li Mengtu was bitter, closed his eyes, and after a few breaths, he opened his eyes suddenly, revealing determination and even more persistence.

"Constitution... I know its supreme nature, but I have never been personally present. The inheritance is incomplete, making me never truly feel it."

"But in this life, I don't fear death, I only fear not hearing the Dao!"

"This Dao struggle... even if I die, I still want to fight!"

Li Mengtu's voice echoed, containing extreme determination, and his figure sped up, rushing toward the blurry figure in the nothingness he 'saw', like a moth to a flame, rushing forward!
