Outside Of Time

'What's wrong with this person? I wasn't even talking about him.'

Qiu Quezi felt a little aggrieved at being suddenly scolded.

He felt that he was just mentioning srules about the Divine Mountain, so why did it cause such emotional fluctuations in this senior brother of Xu Qing?The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt

He couldn't help but make sguesses.

But, clearly, no matter how he imagined it, even in his dreams, he probably wouldn't be able to understand Chen Erniu's thoughts…

However, seeing that the captain's expression was becoming increasingly unfriendly, Qiu Quezi hurriedly put away his thoughts and led the way, walking toward the steps behind the four statues.

When he passed by the Blasphemer's statue, Xu Qing couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The captain rubbed his nose and looked at Xu Qing. He coughed and transmitted his divine sense.

"Don't look, Little Qing. I didn't expect that after so many years, that genderless, murderous old geezer Sun Flame, would do something so despicable!"

"This is too much!"

The captain snorted.

Xu Qing remained silent and retracted his gaze. When he got close to the steps and mountain path, he couldn't suppress his doubt and transmitted his voice to the captain.

"Eldest Senior Brother, will the Moon God and the Sun God notice you coming here and slap you to death…"

The captain's eyebrows shot up.

"Otherwise, why would I dare to chere after obtaining the words of the Wordless Stone Scripture?"

"Don't worry, I have a foolproof plan. Sun Flis in a deep slumber, and Moon Flhas swallowed the flesh of the Crimson Goddess and is digesting them. As for the coquettish fox, although Her avatar has awakened, Her main body is also in a deep sleep. Also, She enjoys spectacles and won't easily expose us. So, we're safe on this journey."

The captain patted his chest.

Xu Qing sighed and was prepared for an accident. After that, he took a deep breath and walked toward the steps ahead.

The moment he stepped on the steps, Xu Qing's body trembled. One of the 1,800 forbidden mountains above his head disappeared.

The forbidden mountain transformed into a rainbow and landed on the Divine Mountain, merging into it.

At the stime, as a forbidden mountain fused into it, the Divine Mountain also underwent a strange change.

One could see flags appearing on the Divine Mountain.

It was like a direct ranking list. From the bottom to the top, it was the sheight as the steps. The colors were different and the totems embroidered were of all kinds.

The size of the flag was also different. The higher one went, the larger the flag and the more eye-catching it was.

Even in the Holy City, one could see them clearly.

There were the most flags at the bottom of the Divine Mountain. They were densely packed and numbered in the tens of thousands. The height of 100 steps was like a watershed. There were only about 2,000 flags there.

Looking further up, the flag that was the height of 500 steps becthe second watershed. There were only about 300 of them.

The flag at the top was the height of 800 steps. It was extremely huge and eye-catching.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, one could tell that 70 to 80% of the flags above 300 steps were the flags of the FlMoon Mystic Heaven.

At the bottom, among the tens of thousands of flags, there was an additional one as Xu Qing's forbidden mountain fused with the Divine Mountain.

It was a red flag. It was normal-sized and embroidered with mountains and rivers, but it was in the shape of a broken flag. It was as red as blood and exuded a sense of oppression.

That was the current human race's flag that had gathered on its own on the Divine Mountain!

The moment it appeared, Xu Qing's gaze instinctively gathered over.

At the stime, Qiu Quezi's low voice rang out from behind Xu Qing.

"The end of the first segment of the Grand Hunt is to fuse the forbidden mountains with the Divine Mountain. With every step, a forbidden mountain will disappear and form the race flag."

"These flags on the Divine Mountain will only be revealed when a forbidden mountain merges with it. Otherwise, they remain hidden from view."

Qiu Quezi also stepped onto the first step. As the forbidden mountain above his head disappeared, a FlMoon Mystic Heaven flag appeared on the Divine Mountain.

"Under normal circumstances, a forbidden mountain can pass the first segment and be qualified to enter the second segment of the Grand Hunt."

"Only cultivators who want to fight for the first place in this segment will gather more mountains."

"The race flag is formed by the Divine Mountain. It can automatically draw the unique flag of the different races according to their characteristics."

Qiu Quezi explained in a low voice.

Xu Qing nodded and retracted his gaze from the human race's flag. He then walked toward the second step. The instant he stepped on it, another mountain above his head disappeared.

The Red Mountains and Rivers Flag also increased in size.

Just like that, Xu Qing walked step by step to the 100th step.

Standing here, the Red Mountains and Rivers Flag had already becvery large. Among the many flags, it also felt conspicuous.

However, as the race flag grew larger, the shattering sensation emitted by the mountains and rivers on it becincreasingly pronounced and clear. In fact, countless corpses even appeared, indicating the severity of the devastation.

Xu Qing couldn't help but stare at it again. After a long time, he retracted his gaze and lifted his head to look at the flags of the various races above. He then continued walking in silence.

200, 300, 400…

The moment he reached the 500th step, there were tens of thousands of flags below him. As for the ones above, there weren't many.

Such frequent steps caused the flags on the Divine Mountain to be displayed for a long time. Moreover, the human race's red race flag kept rising and growing, and it was impossible for it not to attract attention.

Even more holy city cultivators paid attention to this scene.

Although many FlMoon cultivators were mentally prepared, waves still rose in their hearts when they saw it for themselves.

"It's Xu Qing!"

"Previously, I saw him heading in the direction of the Divine Mountain…"

"Arrogant. A human actually raised their flag to such a height in our FlMoon Mystic Heaven's Grand Hunt!"

"It's hateful that those heaven's chosen didn't attack him. Even Tuoshi Shan only competed in the seals. Otherwise, how could this human be so smug?!"

As the FlMoon Mystic Heaven cultivators in the holy city becindignant and hostile, Xu Qing had already walked all the way to the 500th step of the Divine Mountain.

Standing here, he was surrounded by clouds. As they lingered, there were very few flags above him.

"I can still walk past 1,300 steps!"

Xu Qing mumbled. With a sway of his body, he rapidly moved upward. Very soon, he reached 600, 700. When he stood on the originally tallest flag step, he didn't stop at all and instantly passed by.

The red race flag surpassed the FlMoon Mystic Heaven's flag and instantly becthe highest flag. Moreover, as Xu Qing moved forward, it was still rising!

900th step, 1,000th step…

He sped all the way.

This scene was seen by more and more FlMoon Mystic Heaven cultivators. They looked at the red Mountains and Rivers Flag that was continuing to rise and grow larger and larger. Their hearts churned and the humiliation beceven more intense.

As an upper race, most of the cultivators of the FlMoon Mystic Heaven were proud, but the stronger their sense of pride, the greater the inner frustration they felt at this moment.

Especially when witnessing the human race's flag fluttering, not only did ordinary cultivators, but even the higher-ups of the FlMoon Realm in the three holy cities lifted their heads and looked at the Mountains and Rivers Flag on the Divine Mountain.

Their expressions were all different.

One of them was none other than the dignitary from the FlMoon Race who was in the palace in the forbidden zone earlier. He looked at Xu Qing on the Divine Mountain and felt the hostility of his race's cultivators. A smile bloomed on his face.

Tflowed by and the height of the Mountains and Rivers Flag was still rapidly increasing. 1200 steps, 1400 steps, 1600 steps…

This lasted until above the clouds, at the height of 1,873 steps, the red mountain and river flag whistled in the wind, its flag unfurled for 10,000 feet, leading the way, standing out from all others!

The feeling of suppressing the crowd was incomparably intense.

This was an unprecedented first!

It was the first tin all the Grand Hunts in the countless years of the FlMoon Mystic Heaven Race.

The human race would becthe first in the first segment.

The instant the banner was completely erected, the three holy cities fell silent. Countless gazes gathered on the Divine Mountain and landed on the red Mountains and Rivers Flag!

Xu Qing also gazed at the flag. His expression was a little dazed and he couldn't describe what he felt. After a long time, he retracted his gaze and tread down step by step.

On the way down the mountain, he vaguely heard an uproar and commotion from the outside world.

Xu Qing didn't care about these. He walked down the steps and walked to the captain's side. The captain smiled at Xu Qing.

"How does it feel to stand there?"

Xu Qing turned his head and gazed at the Divine Mountain, shaking his head.

"It's a pity that I didn't reach the peak."

The captain laughed loudly.

"That's enough. Now, this has already attracted the hostility and disgust of all the races in the FlMoon Mystic Heaven. After all, this is placing a banner on their Divine Mountain."

"The goal of the higher-ups of the FlMoon Mystic Heaven Race has been achieved. The reason why they tacitly agreed to your appearance and killing is to provoke this generation of cultivators of their race."

"A pack of wild dogs, if they want to be fiercer, if they want to ignite their fighting spirit, naturally need a wolf to provoke them a bit, only then can they erupt better."

"You are the wolf they are willing to see. Of course, I prefer to call you a sh*t-stirrer."

"You can imagine that in the second or even third segment, you will have to face even additional attention."

"So, since that's the case, let's kill them properly!"

The captain voiced with a smile.

"Eldest Senior Brother, your analogy is quite apt." When Xu Qing heard this, he calmly spoke.

The captain blinked and felt smug. He also felt that his analogy was perfect.

"Let's go. I just asked the little sparrow. We'll have a period of rest after this and wait for the second segment to begin. During this period, we have to find a place to stay. However, the prices here are too high and it's not worth it."

"Fortunately, the FlMoon Mystic Heaven Race provided all the participants in the Grand Hunt with free cave abodes. We can stay there for a while. It would be a waste not to take advantage of this."

"Also, the second segment is similar to what I guessed."

"Hunting in the Mountains and Seas Region!"

The captain licked his lips.

"Lettell you, Little Qing, there are many delicious ferocious beasts in the Mountains and Seas Region. I guarantee that you'll never forget them even if you eat them once."
