Outside Of Time

Chapter 1160 Mortal World, Beauty, Drunken Immortal



At that moment, within the immortal pool hidden paradise of the Mortal World Tower, laughter and music echoed, accompanying the changing emotions between men and women, gradually intensifying.

Xu Qing also keenly sensed that as the emotions of everyone in the hidden paradise intensified, there were fluctuations from an array formation here.

The effect of this array formation was inclined toward gathering. It was similar to a spirit gathering array but it gathered the seven emotions and six desires.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought and glanced at the wine glass in front of him. The amber-colored wine inside emitted a unique wine fragrance. When he took a sip earlier, he could already sense that this wine was extraordinary.

"Ordinary people can't drink the wine of the Mortal World Tower. If they take a sip, they will definitely die from intoxication."

The woman beside him noticed his gaze and smiled.

"The wine here is called Drunken Immortal. Although there is some exaggeration in its reputation, it's very difficult for cultivators below the Nihility realm to neutralize its effects through their cultivation base. To a certain extent, this can actually be considered a poison."

"However, it's harmless to the body. It's also because of this that this wine is becoming increasingly precious. This is because to us, sometimes the circulation of cultivation base is instinctive. In addition, our bodies are extraordinary, so it's very difficult for us to experience intoxication."

"Only this Drunken Immortal can make us drunk and magnify some emotions."

"As for the array formation here, this is how the Mortal World Tower cultivates."

When Xu Qing heard this, his gaze swept past everyone. He didn't quite understand. Poison was used to kill. Why did they have to swallow it and pursue this so-called intoxication?

Regardless of whether it was the Nanhuang Continent or Fenghai County, such a thing would not happen.

'Perhaps it's because this is the Imperial City.'

Xu Qing didn't agree but he wouldn't say anything. In this Mortal World Tower, not only did he sense the array formation, but he also sensed that all the women here were absorbing the power of emotions in the surroundings.

Xu Qing felt uncomfortable in such an environment. At the same time, he also felt a sense of disgust. He noticed that Meng Yunbai was having a good time exchanging toasts with others. As for Huang Kun, he was also beaming with joy as he whispered to the woman beside him.

All of this made it difficult for Xu Qing to fuse into the environment. Hence, he wasn't willing to stay any longer and was about to leave. However, at that moment, a dazzling light appeared in the hidden paradise. A red teleportation array shone on the immortal pool and two figures walked out.

The people who came were both women. Xu Qing had seen the person in front before. She was none other than the granny who had led the way earlier. As for the woman behind her, her presence seemed to overshadow the splendor of the immortal pool.

Everyone present cast sidelong glances.

The gaze of the imperial son from the Star Emperor Supreme Sect was even more fiery. His goal in coming here was for this woman.

This woman wore a green veil on her face, revealing only her eyes. Her eyes were as clear as spring water, and she was dressed in a yellow embroidered dress with phoenix patterns. Her trailing skirt was adorned with pink smoke veils, and she walked with delicate steps, showcasing her slender waistline through the light fabric.

Her graceful silhouette was elusive, exuding endless charm. In her arms, she cradled an antique pipa.

Adorning her head was a misty bun with a peony flower gently pinned, revealing delicate eyebrows that seemed to surpass distant peaks. Her hair carried the fragrance of spring mist.

She was truly a peerless beauty, capable of overshadowing a hundred flowers and captivating all living beings

She emerged from the immortal pool with light steps and walked to the forefront of the gathering. After a courteous bow, she sat on a jade pedestal. With a delicate hand movement, the music began.

The first note was graceful and regretful, as if holding a hidden story, infinitely lingering.

Then the melody rose, resonating melodiously. It resembled dancing butterflies in the air or sparkling stars in the night sky.

It seemed like a woman was recalling the beautiful moment between her and her lover, penetrating the hearts of the listeners.

It was beautiful and moving.

However, very soon, the tune changed, adding a touch of parting and reluctance.

It was as though her lover was going to the battlefield and had no choice but to separate. All that was left was yearning.

Subsequently, within the melodious notes, a theme of sorrow emerged, as if the lover was being informed through the music: 'Everywhere you have been carries your presence, and when you come, the music plays; when you leave, the music forever becomes you.'

Everyone was moved.

Gradually, the sound of the pipa changed again. This time, it was more heroic and sharp. It scattered in all directions, causing snowflakes to fall.

The ceiling instantly turned pitch-black. Countless stars gradually appeared and spun rapidly, turning into a tombstone.

This scene tugged at everyone's thoughts. It gave people the feeling that the woman had learned of her lover's death on the battlefield. Her internal turmoil, sorrow, and resentment seemed directed towards the world, the heavens and earth, and all creation. There was a sense of helplessness and despair in her emotions.

It was a time when bones lay unclaimed for thousands of miles, and every household had souls buried under them.

Though the husband had perished on the battlefield, the wife's existence endured like a daytime candle.

The immortal pool paradise was silent.

Some people thought of the Black Heaven Race, some thought of the human race, and some thought of their ancestors.

In the end, the last note of the music, endlessly lingering, gradually transformed into the first note.

It was as though they had traveled back in time and returned to the past, only sighing that if only life was like when they first met…

"Good!" The imperial son stood up and said loudly.

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the surroundings stood up one after another and praised from the bottom of their hearts. Even Xu Qing's heart stirred.

He had heard music before but never like now. It was as though he had heard a complete story. His mind and even his thoughts actually followed the other party's pipa.

The woman lowered her head slightly and picked up the wine glass in front of her, raising it to everyone. After that, she gently lifted her veil and took a sip.

The corner lifted by the veil revealed her charming face, delicate and alluring, with a complexion as fair as jade. The hand holding the wine glass was slender and enticing.

Her small mouth, painted red with vermilion, curved into a smile as she lowered the glass, captivating hearts with every frown and smile.

It caused one's heart to stir and an impulse to possess her rose.

Seeing that her emotions were in place, the granny smiled and spoke.lights

"Young masters, this fairy is our esteemed hostess, Ling Yao. Usually, Ling Yao rarely appears. Today, I heard that there are important guests, so I invited her."

"As for the rules of Ling Yao, all the young masters should know them."

After the granny finished speaking with a smile, the imperial son surnamed Peng nodded and spoke in a deep voice.

"Of course I know. Ling Yao will sit beside whoever she fancies. This matter can't be forced."

As he spoke, he looked at Ling Yao affectionately. He had come here this time for the other party and had expressed his feelings many times. According to the feedback from his perception, the other party was also interested in him.

And most importantly, the female cultivators of the Mortal World Tower cultivated the Dao of forgetting emotions. To forget emotions, one must first be devoted, and devotion was not about seeking but giving. Therefore, the benefits for the male cultivators during their first dual cultivation with them were immense.

Moreover, the higher the woman's cultivation, the more astonishing the benefits.

"With the help of Ling Yao's power, my confidence in stepping into Nihility from the perfected Spirit Repository will increase by a little."

While the imperial son with the surname Peng was thinking inwardly, Ling Yao, who was hugging the pipa, had a bright and energetic look in her beautiful eyes.

After she swept her gaze past everyone, her gaze finally landed on Xu Qing. She smiled lightly and walked over with graceful steps. Under everyone's gazes, she sat beside Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's body instinctively stiffened. This reaction caused him to be on guard.

He didn't recognize this woman, and it was not a simple matter that she chose to sit beside him on their first meeting.

Xu Qing frowned slightly and turned to look at the woman sitting beside him.

Ling Yao's beautiful eyes were filled with spirit as she also looked at Xu Qing and spoke softly.

"Young Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

The voice was gentle, carrying a seductive tone. Hearing it, Meng Yunbai beside Xu Qing felt a fluctuation in his heart. As for the imperial son with the surname Peng, he remained expressionless, retracting his gaze. He didn't say much, just picked up his wine glass, took a sip, then put it down, closing his eyes.

As for the others, their expressions varied. They gazed at Xu Qing, then at the imperial son, exchanging glances with each other. Everything was silently communicated. The young man sitting beside the imperial son, after observing Xu Qing and the imperial son, grinned at Xu Qing.

"Brother Xu is indeed a phoenix among men. This is your first time here and you actually attracted the affection of Expert Ling Yao. This matter should be celebrated. Brother Xu, let me toast you. We'll have to keep in touch in the future."

As the youth spoke, he picked up a large glass of wine and politely lifted it before drinking it first.

The other party's words and expressions were very polite, so Xu Qing couldn't reject him. He picked up the wine glass and drank it as well. However, just as he finished this wine, another youth lifted his wine glass.

"Brother Xu is a talented person and is also a member of our human race's feudal territory. I've heard of you many times over the years and I admire you very much. I'll drink three cups."

As he spoke, he guzzled three cups in a row.

Xu Qing's expression was calm as he glanced at the youth. He quickly understood the reason behind their actions. Soon, others followed suit, offering toasts with polite words and friendly expressions.

Even though he knew they had a purpose, this approach made it hard to confront them directly. Meng Yunbai stood up and wanted to help but was stopped by Xu Qing.

To others, this poisonous wine would induce a sense of intoxication, but for Xu Qing, any poison was of little concern. Thus, he accepted cup after cup without showing any effects when it was his turn.

Hence, everyone here peered at him with strange gazes.

As for Xu Qing, he smiled slightly at everyone after memorizing their names and appearances.

"I'm very happy to see all the elites today. All of you are the pillars of our human race and are all geniuses. The glory of the human race requires us to continue ahead. Why don't we each have a jar?"

As Xu Qing spoke, he peered at the granny.

The granny was stunned but she quickly got the maidservants to bring more than ten jars of wine.

Seeing this, everyone hesitated. They didn't dare to drink too much of the wine here.

And wine was sometimes also a weapon.

Xu Qing's heart was calm and a grin that his eldest senior brother had taught him appeared on his face.

"Please!"contemporary romance

The scene froze a little. The imperial son opened his eyes and peered at Xu Qing. He didn't bat an eyelid or reveal his emotions as he stood up and walked out.

"I'm tired today. Let's meet again another day."

The others also stood up one after another. When Meng Yunbai saw this scene, he apologized to Xu Qing. After that, he peered at everyone and frowned, about to speak.

However, at this moment, light flashed on the immortal pool and an old woman with a head full of white hair walked out.

This old woman's expression was solemn and dignified. After she appeared, the entire hidden paradise trembled.

With her arrival, all the female cultivators of the Mortal World Tower in the paradise stood up to greet her.

"Grand Elder."

Even the imperial son and the others had solemn expressions when they saw this old woman. They also greeted her.

From this, one could see her identity.

This person was the Grand Elder of the Mortal World Forgetful Tower, presiding over the matters of the sect in the Imperial Capital.

After she appeared, she only nodded in the face of the greetings from the imperial son and the others. To her, they were all juniors.

She didn't care. At that moment, her gaze swept over and landed on Xu Qing. The solemn expression on her face spun gentle as she smiled and spoke.

"Is this Young Master Xu?"
