Chapter 1246

What is time-space turbulence?

For the vast majority of cultivators, it is difficult to describe it specifically.

To some extent, this seems to be just a description.

Looking at it literally, it is the chaos of time and space, causing the infinity and infinitesimal of a certain singularity.

Therefore, it also contains infinite possibilities.

But if described in detail, it is difficult to express, because of the limitation of cognition.

It seems that only those whose own Constitution is related to time and space can explain the way time-space turbulence exists.

Xu Qing originally thought so too.

Before entering, he thought that time-space turbulence should be similar to his own Wu Jian Technique, only more vast and more mysterious.

And through his own Constitution, he should be more confident than others in returning from within.

But after entering, everything exceeded his prediction.

The scenes there left Xu Qing's mind with nothing but confusion.

Just like now, he looked up, and his gaze was met with countless colorful vortices.

Those vortices were large and small, boundless, some regular, some chaotic, some static, some rotating, and many were even intertwined with each other.

Forming an abstract and complex starry sky.

Making one look at it, a feeling of bloating pain would rise in the mind, unable to contain this information.

If it lasted long, a sense of shattering would arise.

And what was abstract was not just these, but also the state of Xu Qing and Chen Erniu existing in this place.

Xu Qing's body was no longer in human form.

It had become a glowing swarm of insects made up of countless triangular fragments; every glowing insect within it, from birth to death, only existed for one ten-thousandth of a breath.

The moment it was born, it would amplify its own light, forming an ultimate light source.

And after death, it would explode like fireworks with chaotic future images, then instantly burn into ash like dust, drowning out all light.

Repeating the cycle, it became infinite.

As for Chen Erniu, because of the change in Xu Qing's state, he no longer existed in his hair, but appeared outside.

His appearance was even more abstract.

It was as if he were a kaleidoscope made up of millions of flickering light spots, his form forever changing.

The words he uttered also contained a sense of chaos.

Just like now, Chen Erniu's voice echoed.

What he wanted to say was...

"What's the situation, Little A-Qing, where is this?"

But after it was uttered, falling into Xu Qing's perception, it became...

"Is wha this, Qing lit-tle, whe sit-ua-tion?"

Everything was chaotic, time, space, and their own selves.

Everything was twisting.

It was as if time here had no meaning, and space here had no value of existence.

Xu Qing was confused.

This was different from his Constitution!

Even so-called moving forward and exploration could not be carried out in a conventional way.

Here, moving forward did not require actual movement; as long as there was this thought, everything around would rotate, as if moving.

Exploration was even more so.

It was as if everything here had opened up all its secrets; as long as you could see clearly, as long as you could understand, as long as you could endure, then you could know everything at a glance.

Just like now, in Xu Qing's exploration, amidst this time-space flow that confused him, he saw his own human figure in the unknown distance.

That so-called distance could be the past and future in time, or different levels in space.

Even when his thoughts gathered on his distant self, he soon discovered that he did not see one, but... countless.

Countless selves, countless states.

He even saw liquid planets.

The planets turned into flowing molten iron, drifting past in his perception in a distorted way.

Galaxies became worms covered in rotten fruit, flashing by.

Star regions became unknown characters carved on tombstones, each seeming to come alive, currently fighting.

It also included the universe.

Only, this universe looked like a riddled shroud.

Not only that, the state of his and Chen Erniu's existence, under the forward movement and exploration in his thoughts, also occasionally presented bright and brilliant light, and occasionally dimmed as if it could be extinguished at any time.

Unexplainable.

A piece of chaos.

This was time-space turbulence.

Xu Qing's confusion grew thicker, and he didn't know how much time had passed; it felt like ten thousand years, and also like an instant.

Chen Erniu's distorted voice, with a strange tone, echoed again.

"I have seen this scene before..."

"It's like my past life..."

These two sentences, transmitted in a chaotic way, seemed to be stretched in time and space, falling into Xu Qing's perception, becoming heavenly thunder, one louder than the other.

Exploding Xu Qing's insect swarm body with a roar.

Countless triangular insects collapsed, releasing more future images, causing Xu Qing's consciousness to fluctuate violently, unable to unify.

Only light, between brilliance and dimness, formed intense flickering.

Until a long time later, when the fluctuations caused by these two sentences gradually dissipated, and Xu Qing's state slowly returned to stability, and his consciousness gathered together again, he could no longer see the trace of Chen Erniu beside him.

Chen Erniu had disappeared.

As for the words he uttered before disappearing, they were also bizarrely erased from Xu Qing's perception; he clearly remembered hearing them, but as for the content, it was unknown.

Xu Qing was silent.

He clearly felt that his thoughts were becoming slow, and his consciousness was appearing to dissipate without him knowing.

A sense of impending death rose in his thoughts.

But the sense of crisis that should have appeared before death did not arrive.

As for this cognition, it was also revealed because of the previous explosion of himself.

And appearing together was the sudden change of his body from the insect swarm state, returning to human form, followed by the sudden appearance of cocoons woven by his Constitution outside his body.

That was his Constitution.

After all this appeared, a seemingly late thought was born in Xu Qing's mind.

"I should use my Constitution to create a Wu Jian for myself, to resist the time-space chaos of the outside world."

"Using chaos against chaos!"

As this thought arose, Xu Qing's mind shook; he opened his eyes violently, looking at the Constitution cocoon that shrouded him, his eyes revealing heaviness.

The normal order was for him to have this thought first, and then implement it.

But here, it was the other way around.

Karma and logic were chaotic here.

Or to be precise, there was no logic here, and karma was also reversed.

"What a time-space turbulence..."

Xu Qing muttered; until this moment, inside the cocoon formed by his own Constitution, he was isolated from the outside world, and his existence tended to be normal.

His thinking also restored a certain logic.

Furthermore, he thought of Chen Erniu's disappearance.

"Normally, I should have unfolded my Constitution the first moment I entered here..."

Xu Qing pondered, searching in his memory for the reason why he didn't use his Constitution to weave it from the beginning.

Gradually dazed.

"Everything, actually, was just an instant."

Xu Qing muttered.

He remembered, everything he felt and knew before, including confusion, including exploration, including Chen Erniu's voice, and even his own act of forming the Constitution cocoon.

All happened the moment he entered this time-space turbulence.

It was just that in this instant, too many things happened at the same time.

Simply put, the moment he entered this place, all things on different timelines were happening simultaneously; they overlapped together.

And in an instant, they erupted at the same time.

Xu Qing was silent.

But soon, a strange light appeared in his eyes, and he looked up at the Constitution cocoon in front of him, his mind recalling the experiences of the outside world before.

"Everything here is chaotic, without logic, with reversed karma, but existence is reasonable.

To some extent, this is actually another manifestation of time."

"Surpassing my Wu Jian..."

Xu Qing thought thoughtfully; he suddenly understood why he could succeed in enlightenment amidst time-space chaos in the illusion of the God of Pain.

"Because this time-space chaos itself is actually a higher-level display of the time-space Constitution!"

Xu Qing's eyes flashed with brilliance.

"For a short time, it is difficult to leave this place of time-space chaos, and the Senior Brother's whereabouts are unknown, and I cannot stay in the outside world now."

"Then let's try to hone and gain enlightenment here!"

"But first, I need to understand what time-space turbulence is, and what kind of connection and difference it has with my Constitution!"

"Only by understanding can one surpass."

Thinking of this, Xu Qing sat cross-legged, and while closing his eyes, his consciousness merged with his Constitution in the outside world.

In this time-space turbulence, like an isolated island in the ocean, he remained motionless under those surging waves.

Only his thinking was infinitely opened.

And expressed on the outside, it became dense fluff growing on the cocoon formed by the Constitution threads.

They were the bizarre changes in Xu Qing's thinking under the chaotic time and space; although the appearance was like this, it did not affect their function as synapses.

Transmitting the perception of the outside world into Xu Qing's cognition.

Becoming the nourishment for his enlightenment.

And time, also in this Constitution cocoon, flowed slowly.

But in reality, this flow had no value of continuation; everything was limited, and placed outside, it could not be specifically expressed.

Just like Xu Qing in this enlightenment, he always had no clue.

He could not find an orderly line from the chaotic time and space outside, nor could he find a point that would allow him to cut in.

And without finding this point, he was always looking at flowers in the mist, looking at the moon in the water.

Thus, the fluff growing on the Constitution cocoon kept growing longer, spreading in this chaotic time and space.

Trying to explore deeper.

But the ending remained the same.

Xu Qing opened his eyes, his brows tightly furrowed, looking at the outside world.

"A mess, unable to sort out thoughts."

"Like countless broken puzzle pieces, unable to find a reference map, so unable to piece it together..."

"I need a reference map to see the essence of this time-space turbulence."

Xu Qing muttered.

"The function of this reference map is to become a point of entry, to become a line to see through this time-space chaos..."

"Then, what kind of reference map is suitable..."

Xu Qing pondered.

"This time-space turbulence is uncontrollable, containing all possibilities within, but it seems to be limited by invisible forces, just like destiny..."

Xu Qing suddenly had a thought.

"Destiny?"

The light in his eyes flashed instantly.

The next instant, he raised his right hand and waved it over his body; in the blink of an eye, a brilliant godhead appeared in Xu Qing's palm.

That godhead was a gift from Young Master Mieming!

The power contained within it was precisely destiny!

Gazing at the godhead, the light in Xu Qing's eyes became increasingly intense.

"Using destiny as a map to piece together the time-space turbulence, becoming the point for me to cut in and study it!"

And destiny is abstract.

Just like this time-space turbulence.

If time-space turbulence is seen as countless puzzle pieces, then the first piece on this destiny map that is about to be pieced together...

Xu Qing chose himself.
