Chapter 1091

Xu Qing smiled.

Although he had many questions, although there were numerous doubts in his heart.

For example, why Master Bai appeared in Eastern Wanggu.

For example, what kind of suspense existed in Master Bai's death.

And for example... how he became the medicine jar in the Aurora Immortal Lord's mind.

And also... why in the world transformed by the Aurora Immortal Lord before his death, the Master Bai hallucinated by him possessed the memories of Eastern Wanggu and an independent will.

All of this had no answer.

Nor was it important anymore.

What was important was... the old figure in Xu Qing's life, just as he had said back then, as long as one does not die, one will eventually meet again.

And now, in this world, they had met.

So Xu Qing was very happy.

He had not been this happy for a long time, and this happy emotion, unknowingly, seemed to have been magnified a lot...

Thus, he instinctively stretched his body, instinctively emitted laughter, and 'looked' in all directions.

Subsequently, he discovered that the concept of left and right was allowed here.

This allowed Xu Qing to perceive the surroundings in his current low-level state.

It was just that... what he perceived and 'saw' was distorted and still chaotic.

Because in this world, although the concept of left and right was possessed, everything was still flat.

Looking at flatness with flatness, all one could see was vastness.

The concept of height had not arrived.

But the happy emotion was uncontrollably becoming more intense, filling all cognition, wanting to become the only thing.

"This state is a bit wrong..."

While this happy emotion filled his whole body, Xu Qing noticed something wrong, so he wanted to suppress this emotion, but in this world, it seemed that this behavior of his was not allowed to appear.

Therefore, he could only immerse himself in joy while trying hard to restrain it, and finally... Xu Qing chose to activate the Space-Time Constitution.

He wanted to see clearly the true appearance of this world.

Only in this way could he fully understand and find a way to leave.

Thus, in the next instant, the eighth stage bloomed.

Like parting the mist, it bestowed upon Xu Qing a higher level, causing his mind to ascend.

This world truly reflected into Xu Qing's mind.

It became incomparably clear.

……

This was a white world.

Existing within a mirror.

And all the black dots that walked in from outside the mirror were growing rapidly in this mirror world.

No longer points, no longer composing a line, but returning to individuals, and... possessing bodies, possessing limbs, possessing heads, becoming...

Shadows one by one.

Not only black.

As far as the eye could see, this world reflected in Xu Qing's eyes, although still white, in this white world, there existed colorfulness.

Shadows of various colors composed this magnificent world.

In this world, all shadows were overflowing with joy, seemingly without trouble, without sorrow, each free and at ease.

Some were singing, some were rejoicing, some were sleeping, some were running.

Only, there were no orange shadows.

But it seemed no shadow cared about this point; all were immersed in their own happiness.

Besides this, there were no mountains, no rivers, no myriad things in this world...

Only countless shadows of various colors spreading in all directions.

Gazing at all this, Xu Qing was thoughtful, checking himself, and he saw his own color was cyan.

"The first layer of the world was a line composed of countless black dots, without the concepts of left, right, up, and down."

"This second layer of the world possesses left and right, as if the shackles were partially untied, but... there is still no absolute concept of up and down."

"Because, this is a world inside a mirror, and the mirror itself... is flat."

"Just like a painting."

"I am in the painting."

"Therefore, I in the painting see vastness in all directions from my own perspective, but to an existence outside the painting, this is a world."

"The reason why only joy is allowed in emotions is because the style of this painting has joy as its theme, so the living beings in the painting cannot be unhappy."

"Then... what is the method to leave here?"

Xu Qing pondered.

For a long time, he had a judgment.

Thus, he dispersed his Space-Time Constitution to a certain extent, lowered his mind, and became a cyan shadow again, immersing himself in happiness in this simple world.

He was waiting, waiting for orange to appear.

Time passed, he did not know how long, when joy became more intense here, and the number of shadows in the whole world seemed to reach a certain critical point...

Xu Qing waited for orange.

"The Great Demon King is coming."

A sharp voice roared through the entire world at this instant, deafening, overwhelming, spreading to every area, and falling into the perception of every shadow.

In an instant, it was as if the theme of this painting had been tampered with, changing from joy to fear.

Orange descended.

Spreading continuously, approaching continuously.

The emotion in Xu Qing's heart was also reversed, rising with endless fear, and the Space-Time Constitution was also activated by him without hesitation, giving himself the ability to 'see'.

He saw... in this white world filled with shadows of various colors, a huge figure appeared. This figure wore an orange robe, had a ferocious mask on his face, and his whole body exuded endless evil.

One hand held a bucket, and the other hand held a brush.

The bucket was orange, filled with orange paint, but the brush was colorless.

At this moment, he arrived rapidly, pouncing on other shadows.

The speed was so fast that the shadows in this world could not dodge, and could not resist. The moment they were caught up, the brush in the Great Demon King's hand waved, and the colors on large swaths of shadows were taken away one after another.

Causing those shadows to lose their colors and become blank.

Subsequently, they merged with this world, becoming countless dots, and dissipated.

As if... they had returned to the first layer!

Looking with the cognition of this world, this was indeed the Great Demon King.

His arrival took away colors, took away lives, and caused everything to return to the starting point.

But not all shadows would be like this.

Occasionally... there would be individual shadows that seemed to possess some traits themselves, so they were not stripped of their colors by the Great Demon King, but instead dipped some orange from the bucket with the brush in their hands, and with one stroke...

Painted the shadow he had taken a fancy to orange.

Then these orange shadows fell into the bucket.

Xu Qing was one of them.

His Space-Time Constitution was instantly suppressed the moment he was painted!

Unable to resist, unable to struggle, but existence was allowed.

This scene caused Xu Qing's mind to vibrate intensely.

And inside the bucket, there was a city.

An orange city.

Inside, there were also shadows, all orange like Xu Qing.

The moment he fell into the city, Xu Qing seemed to become a resident of this city, and at the same time, what followed was a feeling of drowsiness.

This feeling exceeded his Constitution, making it difficult for him, who was basically maintaining his Space-Time Constitution, to resist this feeling of deep sleep.

Because... in this orange city, all shadows sent here were only allowed to do one thing.

That was to sleep and dream.

Different dreams, like fairy tales one after another, finally gathered together to form a complete fairy tale world.

Xu Qing was no exception.

In this orange city, he had to close his eyes and immerse himself in dreams.

Dream after dream formed continuously in his mind, and then were greedily absorbed.

Becoming a cycle, without an end.

Nor could he truly wake up.

Only occasionally in his dreams would Xu Qing try hard to think about the reason for all this.

Gradually, he imagined himself as the Aurora Immortal Lord, standing from the perspective of the Aurora Immortal Lord, experiencing what the world transformed by the other party's mind before death wanted to express.

Thus, Xu Qing had a guess.

This orange city was highly likely a metaphor for the Immortal Capital.

Then who the Great Demon King referred to...

There was a target.

Just like this, time passed.

He did not know how much time had passed, nor did he know to which year's spring and autumn time had flowed, in this dream of his without beginning or end, a small white person appeared.

This small person's body was outlined by lines; it had a large head, occupying half of its body, and four characters were written on its forehead.

Besides this, its whole body looked incomparably simple, carrying a bundle of colorful dyes, walking into Xu Qing's dream cautiously and sneakily.

It did not speak, just snapped its fingers in front of Xu Qing.

Snap!

This sound, like a thunderclap, fell into Xu Qing's mind, roaring endlessly.

Causing Xu Qing's consciousness to surge with waves suddenly, having a short period of clarity.

Seeing Xu Qing wake up, the small person grinned, raised its finger to point at the characters on its face, then pointed to the distance, and finally pointed to the colorful dyes, and then... was full of expectation.

Xu Qing was silent. With the help of this short clarity, he immediately organized his intermittent thoughts in the dream, cooperating with the expression and actions of the small person in front of him.

An answer reflected into his cognition.

"This big-headed small person, nine times out of ten, is truly transformed from the last wisp of consciousness of the Aurora Immortal Lord before his death."

Xu Qing glanced at the small person in front of him, and the four characters on its big head.

I am Aurora.

Xu Qing did not know what to say; the characters on the small person's face ultimately made him feel strange.

"Perhaps it is because I possess the Space-Time Constitution that it appeared, or perhaps it appears in front of every outsider who breaks into this second layer."

"But regardless, the method to leave this second world created by the Aurora Immortal Lord has also been given."

"That is to paint with colors, choosing to be different from the colors here, as if... rebelling against the Dao!"

It seemed to have seen through Xu Qing's thoughts, and the expectant expression on the small person's face became more intense.

Xu Qing shook his head secretly.

"If this person is truly the Aurora Immortal Lord, then... his resentment toward the Immortal Venerable has reached the extreme, to the point that in this world he created, the method to leave must be the same as the choice he made back then..."

"But looking at it now, there is indeed no other method."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, did not hesitate, raised his right hand to grab forward, and immediately grabbed the colorful dyes carried by the big-headed small person, wiping them onto his body.

In the next instant, his whole body shook, and the color of his body changed instantly from orange to colorful.

And the whole city also roared at this moment, as if the earth were shaking, and a low roar also came from the void, shaking the heaven and earth.

Immediately after, endless orange turned into a huge hand, descending from the sky, heading straight for Xu Qing!

"The Great Demon King is coming, son, run quickly."

The small person was excited, speaking for the first time, its voice sharp.

While the words were transmitted, it raised its hand to draw a circle in front, and its whole body drilled in rapidly.

Xu Qing did not hesitate and drilled in as well.

This circle also disappeared immediately.

And almost at the instant they left, that orange big hand also arrived suddenly, grabbing directly at the place where Xu Qing had been before, grabbing nothing.

The roar of anger was world-shaking.

All the orange small people sleeping in the city were awakened.

In the next instant, they all soared into the sky, flew out of the orange bucket, appeared in the outside world, and spread suddenly in all directions.

Pursuit!

Wanting to completely dye this world orange.
