OUTSIDE OF TIME

678 I’m Back! (4)

“I remember you. You little bug, you actually dare to come here!” Sun Execution said coldly.

Xu Qing looked at the huge Spirit Venerable Sun Execution under the protective light emitted by Qingqin. He calmly and slowly spoke.

“If I’m a bug, then what are you?” Xu Qing didn’t waste his breath. The Ghost Emperor Palace in his body shook and he even activated the demon transformation runes. Immediately, the figure of the Ghost Emperor Mountain descended behind him.

The moment its majestic body and vast pressure appeared, it opened its eyes, causing the sky and earth to change color. The entire Three Spirits Suppression Mountain shook.

However, the Spirit Venerable Sun Execution’s expression was as calm as ever.

“It’s just a comprehension shadow that has fused into the Heavenly Palace, manifested by the power of the great void demon runes. Although this requires all kinds of things to accomplish, you’re not the only one who can do it. Us three souls and seven spirits are still here. What are you trying to say? Are you the reincarnation of the Ghost Emperor? Or you inherited the Ghost Emperor’s legacy?”

Spirit Venerable Sun Execution looked at Xu Qing.

“What a joke! The artifact spirit is ultimately not one of us. As a servant, its perception is somewhat one-sided, and it is even subservient to the human race. The information it conveys at your behest is utterly useless.”

“This battle is a battle between your human race and the Holy Wave Race. We won’t make a move. You have already reached our bottom line by forcing Nether Fairy to participate in the battle.”

With that, Sun Execution closed his eyes.

Xu Qing remained calm, knowing that this trade would not be so easy. Given the other party’s cultivation realm, it was clear that they understood his purpose for coming here. This was normal, so he calmly spoke up.

“What if I advance to the Nascent Soul realm with the Ghost Emperor Palace?”

“After reaching the Nascent Soul realm, the image of the Ghost Emperor can become my dao nascent. If I take another step forward, I’ll advance to the Spirit Repository realm and use the Ghost Emperor as the foundation of a secret repository and fuse with the Heavenly Dao.”

“At that time, is it still important how I manifested it?” Xu Qing’s voice echoed.

However, Sun Execution still kept his eyes closed and spoke.

“The Ghost Emperor becoming your foundation? A secret repository at the Spirit Repository realm has to plunder the Heavenly Dao from a small world and refine it inside. Heavenly Dao is arrogant and can’t be forced even if it’s refined. Moreover, it’s not one with the Ghost Emperor, so how can they be fused?!”

“What if the Heavenly Dao is my own and listens to me?” Xu Qing waved his hand and the sky changed color. The mosasaur manifested and emitted the pressure of the Heavenly Dao. At the same time, it also showed its life connection with Xu Qing.

The eyes of the Spirit Venerable Sun Execution abruptly opened. For the first time, his expression changed.

On the mountain where the heaven soul was at, the black fog no longer churned. The breathing sounds instantly disappeared.

Xu Qing continued.

“If my cultivation can still advance and I become Nihility, I can use my Nihility power to manifest a world and move the true Ghost Emperor Mountain inside to form a ghost world. Coupled with the Ghost Emperor image fused with the Heavenly Dao in the secret repository, they will overlap…”

“Would you still think it’s impossible if at that time, I obtained the Ghost Emperor’s inheritance?”

“It’s too far in the future and it’s unknown if you can accomplish it!” The Spirit Venerable Sun Execution fell silent for a while before replying. His gaze toward Xu Qing became a little more solemn.

Xu Qing shook his head.

“I don’t know why you didn’t do this. Perhaps it’s because of your identities that you can’t do this. Or maybe it’s because of mutual checks and balances.”

“That’s not important. What you said about it being too far in the future is also not important.”

“What’s important is that I gave you a possibility!”

“A possibility that I can complete when I grow up.”

“As long as I complete the inheritance, even if I can’t completely control the Ghost Emperor Mountain, I can still let you guys escape the restraints of the Ghost Emperor Mountain while retaining your undying characteristics. You can become independent and obtain true freedom.”

“This is a transaction. You can consider me as a casual chess piece. The artifact spirit probably knows this too.”

Xu Qing spoke seriously. This was the desire of the Ghost Emperor’s three souls and seven spirits that he had analyzed based on his previous understanding and the information from the Sword Holding Palace.

They yearned for independence and freedom, but didn’t want to lose their status as undying.

Sun Execution fell silent. He had to admit that the hypothesis given by the Sword Holder in front of him was logical and feasible. It was indeed as the other party had said. Xu Qing would just be a casual piece for them. They had a lot to gain if he succeeded, and wouldn’t lose anything even if he didn’t.

He looked at the black fog where heaven soul was.

“It’s not worth it to fight against the Holy Wave Race for this casual chess piece.” A sharp voice that was like the sound made by the grinding of bones rang out from the black fog.

Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. At this point in the transaction, the value of his goods had already been revealed.

Actually, he also knew he was storytelling. None of them was stupid. However, as long as his story was good enough, feasible, and logical, it could attract investment. Of course, the prerequisite was whether it was worth it and how much to invest.

The next step was to look at the price.

“I don’t need you to go to the frontline battlefield to fight the Holy Wave Race. I only want you to make a move once at the Corpse Forbidden!”

“Using one move in exchange for this casual chess piece. You will obtain another possibility and path to your freedom.”

Xu Qing spoke softly.

This time, he didn’t threaten them. He was being honest. What he said was true and realistic. Of course, the prerequisite was that he could grow and advance time and again.

Hence, it was ultimately still a story.

However, this story was perfect and the price for it was relatively small.

A stupid person might be influenced by emotions and make other judgments.

However, it was obvious that these two souls weren’t stupid. Hence… unless someone offered a better value, the possibility of not agreeing was very small.

Three Spirits Suppression Mountain fell silent.
