Outside Of Time

Chapter 643 - 643 One Step, Lonely Goose; One Step, Demon (2)

643 One Step, Lonely Goose; One Step, Demon (2)

Most of these cultivators who stayed behind were low Golden Cores. The one with the highest cultivation level was a Nascent Soul Sword Holder. His aura was similar to Chu Tianqun’s, at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Xu Qing glanced at the other party’s location from afar and checked the Sword Holding Court’s array formation.

It was definitely not easy to break through this array formation. Coupled with the Taboo net in the sky, it could ensure that any Sword Holding Court in Fenghai County would be in a safe state.

After making his judgment, Xu Qing retracted his gaze and moved stealthily toward the top of the mountain.

His goal was the Sword Holding Court’s archives.

The Palace Master’s jade pendant and his own concealment allowed his journey to proceed smoothly. After about fifteen minutes, he found the building where the dossiers were stored.

There were also restrictions here that prevented others from entering casually. However, as the jade pendant in Xu Qing’s hand emitted a gentle light, the restrictions blurred.

Before he stepped in, Xu Qing transmitted his divine sense to the shadow. Very soon, the shadow spread out like a bag, enveloping the stone lion and the head.

Xu Qing took a look and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. Only then did he take a step in and sense it carefully. After confirming that there were no Sword Holders on duty in the archives, he walked in and began to flip through the dossiers here.

This building had a total of four floors and there were a lot of dossiers. Xu Qing couldn’t finish reading them all in a short period of time. Hence, he mainly searched for records about morning glow.

After a while, on the third level, he found a dossier that required extremely high authority to peruse.

After opening the restriction on it, Xu Qing checked it.

He frowned after reading it for a while.

What was recorded in this dossier was indeed about the morning glow. According to what was recorded in the dossier, morning glow was the light emitted by the sun before it fell. It had intelligence, and wasn’t a dead object.

Over the years, it had appeared a total of 752 times.

However, this was actually a little contradictory. This was because if the sun had really fallen, it should have erupted with all its light in one go back then. It was impossible for the morning glow to appear occasionally over the countless years.

The Sword Holding Palace researched this and discovered that although the morning glow was related to the fallen sun to a certain extent, it wasn’t completely formed by it.

It was more like a lifeform that had naturally formed in this area after the sun had fallen and changed the laws of heaven and earth in a portion of this area.

That was why it would occasionally appear over the countless years.

Moreover, it only appeared on Mount Morning Glow.

This point was also recorded in the dossier. It was rumored that Mount Morning Glow was the place where a mouthful of the sun’s blood splattered before it died. The sun’s blood was rainbow-colored, so this mountain became rainbow-colored.

The aura of the sun here was also one of the conditions needed to form the morning glow.

It also had an astonishingly powerful effect in weapon refinement.

In addition, the research of the Sword Holding Palace also stated that the morning glow had a powerful effect when resisting the power of the gods. Hence, due to various reasons and because there were very few of them, the Sword Holding Court had detailed records of every morning glow that appeared.

These records included the time when the morning glow appeared and where they ended up.

Xu Qing checked but didn’t find too many issues with this. There were records of every morning glow that had appeared. Most of them had been sent to the Sword Holding Palace and a small portion had been traded by other forces.

The Sword Holding Court also recorded the whereabouts of the people who sold or bought it.

Xu Qing searched for a long time but this was all he could find.

“Unless I investigate the whereabouts of each of them one by one, it’ll be very difficult to find any clues.” Xu Qing frowned. His gaze turned pensive as he looked at the vast number of dossiers.

At the same time, in the depths of the abyssal sea in the Morning Glow Province… this place was filled with endless anomalous substances. There was also an extremely terrifying pressure that carried the will of death that enveloped the surroundings.

Everything was blurry and distorted, as though it was a world where the god had opened Its eyes.

Any cultivator who arrived here would be affected. They would either die or mutate.

This was a forbidden zone that prohibited life.

The source of all this was a sun’s corpse that seemed to have long disappeared from the outside world.

The old man with the brush and ink stood on the massive corpse, trembling as he gazed at a thousand-foot-long finger floating in front of him, emanating a terrifying divine power.

“Lord’s abilities know no bounds. I heard that the myriad races have searched for the corpse for countless years, but couldn’t find it. However, Lord found it as soon as you arrived. Lord is indeed a mighty god!”

“However, the sun’s corpse has fallen for too long, it lacks vitality and is difficult to use as paint.”

The painting old man spoke with a shaky voice.

“Only by sending more living creatures in to fill it with vitality will there be a possibility of turning it into paint…”

When the god’s finger heard this, it turned slightly in another direction. As the surroundings blurred and distorted, its figure instantly disappeared.

Seeing that the finger had left, the painting old man instantly frowned.

“What should I do… After I finish painting, It will definitely kill me. However, I’ll be killed even if I don’t paint…”

At this moment, it was just before dawn.

The sky was pitch-black. Although the bright moon hung high in the sky, the moonlight couldn’t penetrate the fog in the Morning Glow Province. Hence, the entire abyssal sea was still pitch-black.

Only those peaks that stood on the sea could penetrate the fog and see the bright moon in the sky.

However, most of the mountains in the abyssal sea weren’t tall, so the brightest place in the entire Morning Glow Province was Mount Morning Glow.
