Outside Of Time

Chapter 1037 A New Approach in the Trial of Aspirations

Seeing that the captain was so excited, Xu Qing smiled.

He didn't care about being the master of the Moon Rebel Hall. After all, Eldest Senior Brother had prepared for this for a long time. If he really became the master of the Moon Rebel Hall, Xu Qing wouldn't be too surprised.

"Then I'll congratulate Eldest Senior Brother in advance."

Xu Qing smiled and spoke.

The captain laughed.

"What's mine is yours. Junior Brother, let's go!"

As he spoke, the mirror suddenly emitted a colorful light that enveloped the two of them. Booming sounds echoed as Xu Qing and the captain's figures disappeared without a trace.

The Moon Rebel Hall was filled with desolation.

The mountain was as majestic as ever, but the temples on it were mostly dim.

The vast scene of thousands of statues moving around, which was once present, was now difficult to see with the emergence of war.

Many of the Moon Rebel Hall cultivators were focusing most of their energy on leading the rebel army against the Red Moon Shrine in the ongoing war. Consequently, their available time for other activities naturally diminished.

Hence, at that moment, only a small number of Moon Rebel Hall cultivators who had temporarily come to communicate and trade with others were present.

There were less than a few hundred of them.

They were in a hurry and left immediately after completing what they needed. There was no time to waste. However, at this moment… a sudden change occurred.

In the sky, above the nine huge temples, the astonishing temple that stood at the highest point of the Moon Rebel Hall suddenly shone with resplendent light.

There was also a deafening huge boom echoing.

The appearance of this light and sound spread throughout the entire mountain of the Moon Rebel Hall. In an instant, the mountain rumbled and the temples swayed.

All the cultivators here were shocked and instinctively lifted their heads.

After seeing the source of everything, horror suddenly erupted.

"Supreme Hall!"

"What's going on? The supreme hall that represents the master of the Moon Rebel Hall is no longer dim. It's actually shining."

An uproar instantly broke out. This scene was too shocking for the Moon Rebel Hall cultivators.

That was the supreme hall!

It was the supreme temple that represented the master of the Moon Rebel Hall!

For countless years, there had never been a true supreme lord in the Moon Rebel Hall. It was always managed by the deputy hall masters. Hence, the meaning of this scene was naturally extremely great.

However, although the fluctuations in the minds of some of the old people weren't small, they hadn't reached an earth-shattering level. This was because although such a scene rarely appeared, they had witnessed it and had some understanding of it.

"Another big shot has activated the Hall Master's trial."

"I've seen such a situation twice. It's a pity that the door of the supreme temple didn't open. It will dim again after a period of time."

"I also saw it once. In the end, the fifth deputy hall master walked out of the temple."

These old men sighed with emotion. With their discussions, the new Moon Rebel Hall cultivators also understood.

However, the anticipation was still intense. Although they didn't think that a supreme lord would really appear, there was a high chance that a deputy hall master would appear which was also a huge matter for the current Moon Rebel Hall.

After all, they were fighting against the Red Moon Shrine currently, so the appearance of a new deputy hall master would increase their morale greatly.

At that moment, many figures quickly returned to the Moon Rebel Hall from the outside world. Many statues walked out of the temple and looked at the sky. Discussions and uproars rose and fell.

Even the few temples of the deputy hall masters in the sky shone.

Two of the five deputy hall masters appeared and looked at the highest temple.

The space beyond the sky of the Moon Rebel Hall where others couldn't enter was a scene of void.

This void was like fog that filled an endless range and churned densely. At the end of the void was a lake.

To be precise, it was a huge mirror that was covered in a layer of water.

The lake water was crystal clear like the mirror.

It was pure and holy.

A tall figure floated above the mirror lake.

It was an old man, dressed in a white robe, with his hands crossed within the sleeves on both sides. His head was lowered, gazing at the surface of the lake without moving.

Only the sleeves of his clothes and his white hair fluttered with the wind.

At that moment, there were ripples on the surface of the water he was looking at. Gradually, a blurry shadow was forming underwater.

It seemed to be separated from the void where the old man was by the mirror. This body that was forming seemed to be on the other end of the mirror.

After an unknown period of time, the figure underwater became clearer. It was Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's expression was solemn and there were even waves in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at his feet.

In his impression, after he and Eldest Senior Brother were enveloped by the light from the mirror fragment, everything became blank.

At the next moment, when everything returned to normal, he appeared in the mirror lake. There was nothing in the surroundings except for the mirror under his feet…

That place seemed to contain another world, reflecting the figure of the old man in the white robe.

Both sides stared at each other through the mirror lake.

What reflected in Xu Qing's eyes was a pair of indifferent eyes that contained coldness.

Xu Qing was vigilant. He had already probed the surroundings but didn't see his eldest senior brother.

"The one who came with you is currently in another mirror, considering how to conduct the trial."

A calm voice rang out from the mirror lake under Xu Qing's feet, echoing in the void, stirring up countless echoes.

"All cultivators who enter this place, regardless of their cultivation, are qualified to participate in the trial."

"If you succeed in the trial, you'll be the master of the Heavenly Eye and also my master. If you fail, you'll have a secondary contract with limited authority."

"Then, will you undergo the trial?"

His voice didn't contain any emotions as it coldly entered Xu Qing's ears.

Xu Qing pondered for a moment and didn't immediately decide. Instead, he asked.

"What kind of trial is it?"

"Make a grand aspiration," the old man in the white robe under the water surface said lightly.

"By the power of the grand aspiration, establish a contract, and then demonstrate the qualifications to fulfill it. Once you pass, you must complete the grand aspiration within the stipulated time."

"The authority of the Heavenly Eye obtained after passing depends on the size of your vow."

"If the vow is ordinary, even if you pass, you won't become the master of the Heavenly Eye. You will still get a secondary contract."

"Only a grand aspiration possesses great karma."

"However, you can't make reckless vows either."

The white-robed old man waved his hand. Immediately, a loud sound rang out. The surface of the water undulated and dozens of ice sculptures appeared.

These ice sculptures were of men and women and they all emitted powerful auras. However, their life fluctuations were all sealed.

"These are the failures of this era. Either their grand aspirations were too grandiose and exaggerated, deemed false and punished accordingly. Or they were unable to fulfill their vows and have been bound ever since."

Xu Qing's gaze quickly swept over but he didn't see the captain. He heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

"Then, what is your grand aspiration?" Under the mirror lake, the white-robed old man looked at Xu Qing indifferently.

Xu Qing thought about it. He felt that since the captain had prepared for so long, there was a high chance that there would be no problem. After all, although Eldest Senior Brother was sometimes unreliable, he was still crazy enough when it came to major matters. contemporary romance

Hence, there was actually no need for him to take too much risk and say anything about killing the Crimson Goddess.

He just had to follow his heart.

Xu Qing thought about it and looked at the white-robed old man across the lake.

"I don't have any great aspirations."

"In this Moon Worship Region, what I once wanted to do the most was to refine medicinal pills that could neutralize the curse of all living beings here, especially in the human race."

Xu Qing slowly spoke. This matter was the reason why he came to the Bitter Life Mountain Range back then. He had joined the Moon Rebel Hall to better obtain research information about the curse.

At that moment, as his voice rang out, ripples appeared on the surface of the water. The expression of the white-robed old man changed. If it was any other cultivator who spoke like this, he would have determined that the other party was lying.

However, as the artifact spirit of the Moon Rebel Hall, he saw everything about Xu Qing in the Moon Rebel Hall, including the curse subduing pill.

Everything the other party did seemed to be walking on this path of grand aspiration.

A while later, the white-robed old man waved his hand. Immediately, the water in front of Xu Qing churned and a huge pill furnace appeared, rising.

"In this place, everything can be created from nothing and transform into all things. Although it's all fake, as lengthy as you manifest it, I can manifest it."

"You can refine here and begin your trial."

"The flow of time here is also different from the outside world, so you don't have to care about the time."

"You have to refine a pill that will reduce the curse by at least 20% and you will pass the assessment."

With that, the white-robed old man's figure disappeared.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at the pill furnace in front of him. He moved closer and observed it as waves of emotions rose in his heart.

This pill furnace peered extremely real and didn't seem illusory.

"It can manifest all things?" Xu Qing abruptly asked.

"I want ten heavenfate flowers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples appeared on the surrounding water surface. Ten drops of lake water rose and floated in front of Xu Qing. These ten drops of water rotated separately and finally formed ten heavenfate flowers.

Regardless of whether it was the aura of the plants or the medicinal power contained in them, they were all incomparably real.

Xu Qing's expression changed. He took one and observed it carefully. After a long time, there was determination in his eyes. He ate it and savored it.

"Everything is very real and so is the medicinal effect. However, this is all a feeling. In reality, it doesn't exist. It's just that I feel that I ate it."

Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

"There's a power here that nearly changes one's cognition, but it's different from the one used by the heir."

"The heir possesses the authority and can release it actively, influencing his surroundings."

"As for this place, it's more like this authority has been stripped off and permeated this place. It's like a tool that can be used by others!"

"Moreover, it seems to be even more domineering."

Xu Qing's expression changed. He peered around and abruptly felt that this place was very good. The difficulties he had encountered when trying to make pills to reduce the curse surfaced in his mind.

"The environment of the Moon Worship Region means that many medicinal herbs are not available here…"

A strange glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes as he spoke again.

"1,000 hundred-year Earth-Elemental Spirit-Blessed Bamboo."

"Three thousand portions of Heavenly Fog Immortal Cage Grass!"

"Soaring Dragon Wood Lightning Strike Young Leaf, 10,000 pieces!"

"Also, the Cloud Half-Illusion Flower, Nine-Dry Seven Withered Grass, and the thousand-year-old mulberry root…"

These heavenly treasures were rare even in Fenghai County. Xu Qing listed dozens of them in one go. Very soon… a large number of medicinal herbs appeared.

This surprised Xu Qing. Hence, he spoke again and uttered over a hundred types, forming them one by one. Even if there were mistakes in the middle, they would gather again after Xu Qing described their appearance and medicinal properties.

The vegetation that appeared completely met his needs after he continued to adjust it.

Xu Qing's heart fluctuated. He had deeply realized that this place was a dream place for an alchemy master.

Xu Qing instantly waved his hand and grabbed stalks of medicinal herbs that were usually rare. After studying them carefully, he began to refine them according to what he wanted in his mind. It didn't matter if he failed and he could try again.

There were endless medicinal herbs.

This kind of squandering that didn't worry about consumption caused Xu Qing to be extremely happy. He immersed himself and tried out all the refinement methods he thought of one by one.

"I already have an idea about the curse subduing pill. It's not difficult to refine it to reduce the curse by 20%. It's possible to reduce it even more…"

"However, this place has an extremely important use for me, and that is to form poisonous grass!"

Xu Qing's gaze was fiery.

"All the poisonous grass I desire can be formed here."

"Although it's fake, the understanding is real. The instincts of this body will also be formed because of this!"

"I can completely finish the integration of the Poison Restriction into my gaze, which I had to stop due to the lack of poisonous herbs back then."
