Outside Of Time Chapter 1170 Dancing in Vain to the East Wind

Chapter 1170 Dancing in Vain to the East Wind

?Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

He had a feeling that as more and more heaven's chosen of the human race succeeded in comprehending, the summoning from the mountains on the Ancient Sovereign Planet became increasingly intense.

However, he wasn't sure. He could only vaguely sense the clouds and fog rising outside the Ancient Sovereign Planet as well as the auspicious light. It was as though to a certain extent, it could enhance this summoning.

As for the reason, Xu Qing didn't understand it very well, nor did he know what existed in the mountain range.

However, he was certain of one thing.

This item would definitely be astonis.h.i.+ng.

Hence, he tried to respond and sense it but it was useless. This didn't have much to do with Xu Qing's location. After all, he didn't need to comprehend it or sit cross-legged in the clouds.

Especially when the place he was at now was also very close to the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

The greatest obstacle affecting the communication was actually the seal on the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

The Human Emperor had only opened the outermost layer of seals on the Ancient Sovereign Planet. Under the layers of seals, the Ancient Sovereign Planet seemed to be enveloped by sh.e.l.ls.

These outer sh.e.l.ls couldn't isolate the summoning from the Ancient Sovereign Planet's main body but they could isolate Xu Qing's response.

Just as Xu Qing was thinking, he suddenly sensed the summoning intent intensifying again. This caused his eyes to narrow. At the same time, a second vortex appeared on the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

The first cloud and fog vortex came from Meng Yunbai, who had comprehended a Heavenly Marquis inheritance. The core of the second vortex was a bald cultivator in a thick hemp Daoist robe.

This person came from the True Words and his name was Fen Xing.

At this moment, the shadow of a gigantic red scorpion appeared outside his body. It roared at the sky and lifted its tail. As the tail swayed, it created afterimages, a sight both startling and awe-inspiring.

The sound reverberated, shaking the surroundings, accompanied by a menacing aura that seemed to a.s.sail from all directions.

Its malevolent body was accompanied by a terrifying aura that was on par with the ancient holy statue that manifested on Meng Yunbai.

In terms of cruelty, it was even more powerful.

At that moment, these two vortices were spinning in two directions on the Ancient Sovereign Planet. Although there was some connection between them, they could be considered clearly separated. As for the other heaven's chosen, their figures were drowned under the churning of these two vortices.

"In about two hours, there were two cultivators who comprehended Heavenly Marquises' inheritances. Looks like the battle with the Black Heaven Race this time has greatly increased the fortune of our human race."

"Unfortunately, this one came from the True Words…"

"The people of the True Words are all strange. They're usually fine and just focus on cultivating, but when it comes to their doctrines, they're even crazier than Litu."

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to the discussions. His attention was all on the summoning from Ancient Sovereign Planet. He also confirmed that as the number of people who had successfully comprehended increased, especially when someone comprehended Heavenly Marquis inheritance, the summoning intensified even more.

'Every time someone successfully comprehends a cultivation art, it's like absorbing wandering consciousness from the Ancient Sovereign Planet. This process will cause the seals on the Ancient Sovereign Planet to loosen a little…'

'This is the reason why the summoning is intensifying.'

Xu Qing understood. His gaze landed on the clouds. He hoped that more people would succeed in comprehending.

At that moment, a familiar voice spread in all directions from beside the Human Emperor and also drifted into Xu Qing's ears.

"Your Majesty, since there are many human heaven's chosen who have succeeded in comprehending in such a short period of time, why don't you open another seal?"

"Although it will shorten the comprehension time, it can increase the success rate of the children."

The person who spoke was the State Preceptor, who was sitting beside the Human Emperor.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gazes of the officials in front of the hall landed on the Human Emperor. With the opening of the Ancient Sovereign Planet, the inheritances that were wandering in the clouds would become more strong with each additional seal. However, the consumption would also be greater.

The Human Emperor slowly turned his head and stared at the State Preceptor.

The State Preceptor smiled.

A while later, the Human Emperor spoke calmly.

"Allowed."

The instant his words rang out, earth-shattering rumbling echoed on the Ancient Sovereign Planet. The dense fortune of the human race transformed into golden dragons that continued to devour.

Another layer of the seal was opened.

More clouds and fog erupted, and even more resplendent multicolored light spread throughout the entire ancient planet. With the help of the impact caused by the opening of the seal, dozens of people revealed their figures in the fog in the blink of an eye and successfully comprehended cultivation arts.

Among them, two directly comprehended Heavenly Marquis inheritances.

One was the imperial son of the Star Emperor Supreme Sect. A vortex spun around his body and his aura was extraordinary. However, his expression was unwilling. Clearly, he wasn't satisfied with this but he couldn't do anything about it.

As for the other one, it was a prince!

The sixth prince!

Many were surprised that the first prince to successfully comprehend was the sixth prince, as he was known for his debauchery and libertine lifestyle, surrounded by women in his mansion with continuous revelry, appearing to lack any ambition.

To many observers, the sixth prince appeared unconcerned with cultivation or power, wholly dedicated to pleasure-seeking pursuits and romantic dalliances, often engaging in flirtations with the female Heavenly King, Yuelan.

But now, he was the first to succeed.

As for the Heavenly Marquis inheritance he comprehended, it was a little different from others. It was the path of the Flowery Marquis and focused on dual cultivation…

"It's in line with the sixth prince's temperament. Perhaps this is the reason why his comprehension was successful."

Among the people in front of the hall, some laughed and some frowned. As for the Human Emperor, he was expressionless and no one could tell his emotions. The State Preceptor beside him also smiled but didn't say anything.

As for Xu Qing, he didn't pay attention to the sixth prince's success. This was because the moment the second level of the Ancient Sovereign Planet's seal was opened, the summoning from it became even more intense. Moreover, with these two successive Heavenly Marquis inheritance comprehension, the summoning was already extremely astonis.h.i.+ng in Xu Qing's perception.

At the same time, he could tell that this summoning was specially targeted toward him, as no one else sensed it.

'What exactly is it…'

Xu Qing silently pondered as time pa.s.sed.

The activation of the second seal on the Ancient Sovereign Planet caused a continuous stream of successful comprehension. After about fifteen minutes, a scene that caused everyone's eyes to s.h.i.+ne appeared.

A vast storm suddenly erupted on the Ancient Sovereign Planet. Its range was so large that it affected the entire planet, suppressing all the Heavenly Marquis vortices.

In the storm, an astonis.h.i.+ng figure seemed to have come from ancient times and returned from time. Step by step, it stood in the storm.

That figure was extremely tall. He wore blood-red armor and had long red hair. His entire body emitted an incomparable pressure that shook the entire Imperial City.

"Heavenly King!"

"It's the Night Slaughter King!"

"He followed the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether and fought against 137 races. He would slaughter all his enemies in battle. He was conferred the t.i.tle of Night Slaughter King by the sovereign and took charge of five large regions!"

Everyone in front of the hall was in an uproar. The many people in the Imperial Capital were all shaken.

This was the first time a Heavenly King's inheritance had appeared in a thousand years!

As for the person who comprehended the Heavenly King's inheritance, it wasn't the heaven's chosen of the various sects but the third prince, who was exceptionally talented, well-

versed in the ancient and modern, and serving in the Imperial Academy!

From afar, the third prince in the storm had long hair that fluttered in the wind. He had a delicate appearance but he didn't lack martial valor. His long and narrow eyes flowed with light, adding to his spirit.

His successful comprehension caused the officials in front of the hall to grin and praises rang out. Even the Human Emperor nodded slightly.

Outsiders wouldn't know if these people were praising sincerely or not.

No matter what, the Human Emperor's nod revealed his att.i.tude. To many people, this was a signal.

However, the instant the Third Prince's aura was soaring, the Ancient Sovereign Planet was in an uproar again. In another direction, where the fourth son of the Human Emperor was, a tornado rose in all directions, stirring the wind and clouds, suppressing all the Heavenly Marquis inheritance vortexes and drowning all the cultivators in the surroundings.

It became the second monstrous storm on the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

The figure of an ancient Heavenly King appeared and was walking over step by step. However, before this ancient figure could completely become clear, the fourth prince, who was sitting cross-legged in the storm, opened his eyes and revealed determination. He actually raised his hand and ruthlessly patted his chest.

With this slap, blood spurted out and transformed into a blood umbrella that floated above his head, isolating his comprehension.

At the next instant, the storm stirred. The figure of the Heavenly King who was walking over stopped in his tracks and slowly blurred. Finally, it dissipated with the storm.

This scene caused everyone's eyes to flicker. The third prince, who was in the storm, also gazed at this sight with a gloomy expression.

"He actually gave up on a Heavenly King's inheritance!"

"You only have one chance to comprehend. Once you fuse with an inheritance, you won't be able to comprehend again. The fourth prince cut off the inheritance before the fusion, so he still has a chance."

"Is this dissatisfaction? Looks like his target is a Great Emperor inheritance. If he succeeds, he will be considered heroic; but if he fails, he will be called stupid!"

The fourth prince's actions were the center of attention, and some of the people in front of the hall looked at the State Preceptor.

The fourth prince was the personal disciple of the State Preceptor. When they pondered of the Human Emperor's att.i.tude after the third prince successfully grasped an inheritance, they could find a deeper meaning behind this action.

The atmosphere in front of the hall fluctuated. However, Xu Qing, who was sitting there, didn't pay attention to these. His main focus was still the summoning from the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

However, he still frowned.

Originally, with the fourth prince's comprehension, the fluctuations of this summoning should have intensified greatly. However, as the other party gave up, the summoning intent fell.

Xu Qing's gaze swept past the fourth prince. He instinctively disliked this person but he had to admit that the fourth prince's comprehension ability was indeed astonis.h.i.+ng.

After another fifteen minutes, the entire Ancient Sovereign Planet suddenly stirred up an unprecedented vast fluctuation. Golden dragons roared and the power of fortune churned intensely like the sea.

There was also a dazzling multicolored light that erupted from the planet, instantly suppressing the storm of the Heavenly King's inheritance. It also attracted the attention of countless humans in the Imperial City. Even the people in front of the hall stood up with solemn expressions.

"This fluctuation…"

"It surpa.s.ses the Heavenly King's inheritance. Could it be…"

The entire palace was silent. All living beings in the Imperial City were also focused. Under the attention of everyone, the fourth prince couldn't hide the excitement on his face. He suddenly lifted his head and looked up.

Above him, the figures of ancestors appeared. There were Heavenly Marquises and Heavenly Kings inside.

These human ancestors emerged with glorious and incomparable aura. What was even more shocking was that they actually bowed to the fourth prince.

This scene caused everyone's minds to explode. This was because according to the ancient books, these scenes represented that a Great Emperor's mark had been successfully comprehended!

This was also the first time something like this had happened since the Human Emperor Mystic War ascended to throne!

As for those figures of the human ancestors, they weren't wors.h.i.+ping the fourth prince but an astonis.h.i.+ng mountain that rose on the ground of the Ancient Sovereign Planet behind the fourth prince!

As the mountain rose into the air, it continued to shatter, gradually revealing the sharpness inside it.

It was a sword!

The sword of the Sword Holding Emperor!

Human Emperor Mystic War also stood up with a solemn expression and looked at the Emperor Sword. The officials behind him were all the same. The gazes they used to look at the fourth prince also revealed a bright glint.

The other princes were all shocked.

Such an imposing aura and inheritance completely highlighted the fourth prince.

Just as the fourth prince was about to excitedly receive the Emperor Sword that rose into the air, Xu Qing, who had also stood up in front of the hall, looked at the Emperor Sword and sensed the summoning from it.

Hence… he lifted his hand.

On the Ancient Sovereign Planet, the Emperor Sword suddenly trembled, emitting a piercing sword cry.

After that, it rushed out and pa.s.sed by the fourth prince.

The fourth prince was stunned. He looked at the Emperor Sword that whistled past him and had no choice but to retreat under the storm fluctuations caused by the sword. However, his gaze instinctively followed and he gazed blankly at the palace…

The Emperor Sword was heading straight for the palace!
