Beyond the Timescape

Erniu licked his lips as crazy light burned in his eyes. And then something completely ghastly happened. The body beneath his head had already started to recover a bit. But now, the flesh and blood squirmed and wriggled as the recovery sped up rapidly. Within the space of a few dozen breaths of time, Erniu was back to normal.

And now, he pulsed with an aura that vastly surpassed anything from before. He was no longer in early Imperial Sovereign. He had reached mid Imperial Sovereign!

Xu Qing hadn’t seen his Eldest Brother do this in a long time, so the sight of it brought back many memories.

Eldest Brother’s cultivation base doesn’t improve by practicing cultivation. He progresses by undoing seals! Unfortunately, releasing the seals requires him to pay a price. And the further along he goes, the bigger the price he has to pay....

As Xu Qing considered that, Erniu’s body became whole again, and frigid coldness pulsed out in all directions, along with flickering blue light.

Beneath the flesh and blood, Xu Qing could see that there was a bodily structure inside his Eldest Brother. It was pure blue, and looked like it was made from ice. It was vicious and ancient, and looked very similar to the sourcefiends Xu Qing had encountered on the primeval motherworld. Seeing it caused all of Xu Qing’s speculations about his Eldest Brother to resurface.

There are some differences between Eldest Brother and the sourcefiends I saw. He has lived many past lives, and whenever he dies, his next life takes a different form upon being reborn. That characteristic is actually reminiscent of the gods.

Now that his cultivation base had advanced, Xu Qing was able to pick up on many more clues. And yet, there was still plenty about Erniu that Xu Qing didn’t understand.

I imagine things will become a lot clearer after we get back to Revered Ancient.

Erniu, whose aura and cultivation base were skyrocketing, had eyes that looked even crazier than before.

“You listen to me, little Ah Qing. I can sense that there’s a treasure in that direction!! This is a foreordained invitation! It’s a destined opportunity set by fate! I have a very strong feeling that this treasure is waiting for me specifically! At the same time, it’s also a chance for me to remove several of my seals!

“After we accomplish this big job, little Ah Qing, then you won’t have to rely on strangers to give you goddesses to absorb. Your Eldest Brother will go catch several for you! In fact, I won’t stop at the daughters of gods. If you like the sons of gods, I’ll get them too!”
