Outside Of Time Chapter 1168 Sitting by the East and Observing the Planet

Chapter 1168 Sitting by the East and Observing the Planet

?This event could be said to be one of the human race's grand ceremonies.

The Ancient Sovereign Planet was rarely opened unless one was paying respects to the ancestors.

This was because every time it was activated and the ancient planet woke up from its slumber, it would consume the fortune of the human race and the foundation of the ancient planet.

After all, that place used to be the location of the Ancient Sovereign's Imperial Palace when he unified w.a.n.ggu. Before the fragmented-face arrived, it was pilgrimaged by all races, and even in the murals of many races, it symbolized nothing but divine authority, rightfully earning its status as w.a.n.ggu's sacred land.

Even though the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether had left with his subordinates, this planet still had a supreme status and extraordinary meaning.

This was because it contained the orthodox inheritance of the 108 Heavenly Marquises who had followed the Ancient Sovereign back then, as well as the Dao of the 33 Heavenly Kings who could intimidate the world.

For example, Li Zihua had left his legacy here.

And what people antic.i.p.ated the most was the imprint of the nine Great Emperors of the human race inside it.

During the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether Era, it was the golden age of the human race and also the peak of the human race's fortune. Therefore, there appeared nine Great Emperors, which was unprecedented.

If any human could obtain a Great Emperor's inheritance, their status and ident.i.ty would soar to the sky in a single step. Their subsequent cultivation journey would also be extraordinary.

However, it was a pity that the Ancient Sovereign Planet was rarely opened and the duration of each opening was also very short. Hence, until now, there were people who had comprehended the Heavenly Marquises' inheritance, and also few who had comprehended the Heavenly Kings' inheritances.

However, no one had obtained a Great Emperor's mark.

What people obtained mainly were some Dao Arts of cultivators below the Heavenly Marquises, who had died in battle for the human race. Although there was a difference in levels, they were unique.

At that moment, while the various forces in the Imperial City were shaken by the Human Emperor's sudden proclamation and waves rose in their hearts, in the Heavenwatch Pavilion of the Star Emperor Supreme Sect, the imperial son surnamed Peng, who was in the immortal pool hidden paradise of the Mortal World Tower that day, suddenly opened his eyes.

"The Human Emperor opened the ancient planet and let the heaven's chosen of the human race comprehend the ancient Dao!"

His eyes gleamed as he leaped up.

"Since that Ling Yao rejected me many times, so be it, I don't want her Yin essence. In the inheritance of the Ancient Sovereign Planet, as a descendant of the Great Emperor's bloodline, I have a huge advantage. If I can obtain the legacy there and the dragon medallion, I can immediately break through the Spirit Repository and step into the Nihility Realm with the blessing of the fortune. After that, I can stride forward confidently, and even achieving Soul Acc.u.mulation is not impossible."

At the same time, in the northwestern part of the Imperial Capital, there was a huge temple. This temple looked ordinary and was filled with the mottled feeling of time.

However, there was another s.p.a.ce inside that contained many grotto-heavens. It was vast and endless.

In one of the grotto-heavens, there was a monk-like cultivator sitting cross-legged. This person was a middle-aged man with no hair and his face was covered in a tattoo.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the tattoo was of the fragmented-face in the sky.

"The Ancient Sovereign Planet has opened. Fen Xing, you can represent my True Words to comprehend the inheritance there."

An ancient voice echoed in the grotto-heaven. The middle-aged man who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating opened his eyes and folded his arms across his chest, bowing his head in acknowledgment. He then rose to his feet and donned a white robe that covered his head before proceeding forward.

His figure blurred with one step, disappeared with two steps, and appeared on the rainbow bridge outside the palace in three steps, waiting silently.

Similar scenes appeared in the ten super sects of the human race. The person who came from the Mortal World Tower was none other than Ling Yao. The other sects also had heaven's chosen who were arranged to partic.i.p.ate.

If this was the case for these forces of the world, the orthodox lineage of the human race would naturally be even more active.

In the Upper Mystic Five Palaces, those who were heavily nurtured and had great contributions and met the qualifications appeared one after another. It was the same for the Lower Mystic Five Palaces. There were also descendants of dignitaries from all over.

There were also the princes and princess!

Other than the eldest princess and second princess who were married and not in the Imperial Capital, the Fifth Prince, who was stationed at the border of Flame Moon with the first Heavenly King, and the Crown Prince, who was not favored by the Emperor, along with the voluntarily relinquished Eighth and Ninth Princes, all the other princes had chosen to partic.i.p.ate.

Regarding the dragon medallion, the others valued it because it contained the power of fortune that could greatly strengthen their cultivation. As for these princes… they valued the meaning represented by the dragon medallion more than the enhancement it brought.

After all, this was the first time since the Human Emperor Mystic War ascended the throne that he had presented the dragon medallion, representing his imperial status, as a reward.

The meaning contained in this was profound, and those who were qualified to partic.i.p.ate in this comprehension weren't stupid, so they all had their own thoughts and plans.

"The Human Emperor is bestowing the dragon medallion… Is it really true? Does the Human Emperor have the intention to choose his successor?""

"Regardless, although this inheritance appears to be open to all talents, in reality, everyone else is just supporting characters. The real protagonists… are those princes."

"Human Emperor wants to see who among his children receives the most recognition from the ancestor!"

"Of course, if someone stands out from the crowd in this a.s.sessment, they will definitely attract the attention of everyone. This is an opportunity!"

Outside the palace, thousands of figures arrived from all directions and gathered on the rainbow bridge.

In the palace, the Human Emperor retracted his gaze and lifted his right hand, waving his sleeve slightly as he walked forward.

"Dear ministers, follow me to see the future pillars of our human race. This era is ours, and the future era is theirs."

The Human Emperor's voice had a rare hint of emotion.

Everyone in the hall smiled and emotions appeared on their faces. They looked like they were enjoying themselves as they followed the Human Emperor out of the hall.

Xu Qing was among them. Ning Yan was deliberately slower and arrived beside Xu Qing.

Xu Qing glanced at Ning Yan and discovered that his expression was a little lonely. He knew that Ning Yan was afraid of the Human Emperor and the scenes that had happened in the palace earlier made Ning Yan nervous.

More importantly, the Human Emperor didn't glance at Ning Yan or question him at all.

This was clearly the main reason for Ning Yan's current mood.

"Relax."

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

Ning Yan heaved a sigh of relief. The feeling Xu Qing gave him was just like his older brother back then. He felt very at ease and moved closer to Xu Qing.

His heart was also filled with bitterness. On one side was his father, and on the other side were his friends. However, his father's coldness was like midwinter.

He was high and mighty and filled with coldness, unable to give him any warmth.

On the contrary, his friends were more close and trusted him.

At that moment, the hundreds of people walking out of the main hall immediately attracted the attention of the heaven's chosen on the rainbow bridge. All of them had solemn expressions as they bowed in unison toward the main hall.

The Human Emperor nodded and lifted his right hand, pus.h.i.+ng the sky.

With this push, the sky changed color and the wind surged. The auspicious golden dragons in all directions roared in unison and swept up endless fortune as they rushed toward the huge Ancient Sovereign Planet behind the palace.

Finally, they circled above the Ancient Sovereign Planet. Dragon roars rang out one after another as though they were calling out.

That was the call of fortune and the call of the human race. As for the Ancient Sovereign Planet, the clouds and fog outside flowed faster and faster. A while later, a rumbling sound that split the sky and earth echoed.

The Ancient Sovereign Planet suddenly opened like a huge eye.

At that moment of its unveiling, colors vanished from the sky and earth. Boundless radiance and auspicious signs emanated from the ancient planet, causing the clouds to churn. Figures of ancestral human heroes emerged within the mists of the ancient planet.

Furthermore, ma.s.sive vortices spun, emitting astonis.h.i.+ng suction forces that spread outward.

"The Ancient Sovereign Planet has been awakened. Our race's elites, you only have one day. If you don't comprehend the ancient Dao now, then when will you?!"

The Grand Chancellor, who was standing behind the Human Emperor, shouted at the Rainbow Bridge.

As his voice spread out, thousands of heaven's chosen on the rainbow bridge flew out rapidly. The instant they rose into the air, they were attracted by the suction force emitted by the Ancient Sovereign Planet and headed straight for it like shooting stars.

Soon, thousands of figures appeared outside the Ancient Sovereign Planet. Some sat on the clouds, while others were in the clouds. All of them closed their eyes and began to comprehend.

Among them, the princes and heaven's chosen were mixed together and it was hard to tell who was who.

The opening of the Ancient Sovereign Planet was divided into many levels. Right now, it was only the first level.

At this level, people couldn't step into the mainland of the world and could only comprehend in the clouds outside.

The focus of this comprehension was the various inheritances wandering on the Ancient Sovereign Planet. They existed in different forms. Some were active outside and some were slumbering within the planet.

Hence, this comprehension was actually bidirectional.

Even if the cultivators were outstanding, it depended on which inheritance on the Ancient Sovereign Planet acknowledged them more.

Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the thousands of figures on the Ancient Sovereign Planet. After that, he looked at Ning Yan beside him.

"You should give it a try too."

Ning Yan hesitated. He looked at Xu Qing and then at the Human Emperor in the distance. He gritted his teeth and leaped up. He was guided in the air and headed straight for the Ancient Sovereign Planet.

Very soon, his figure appeared on a lump of clouds. His expression was solemn and packed with determination as he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The Human Emperor's gaze swept across the Ancient Sovereign Planet, without pausing on anyone, and finally, as he withdrew his gaze, he spoke softly with his back turned to Xu Qing.

"Xu, with your age and cultivation, if you want to partic.i.p.ate, you can also go."

Xu Qing figured the time. If it was any other time, he would be willing to take part in this comprehension. After all, it was a chance to comprehend ancient inheritances. If he might obtain them, the benefits would naturally be extremely great.

However, he had something else to do now.

The blood pill he refined for Zi Xuan had been refined for half a month. The day the pill was completed was in the near future. Before the pill was completely refined, he needed to augment the furnace every once in a while to maintain the refinement state of the pill.

'In four hours, I have to go back and augment the pill furnace. Otherwise, all my previous efforts will be in vain…'

At the thought of this, Xu Qing cupped his hands toward the Human Emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. My comprehension ability is ordinary, so I won't waste the fortune of the human race."

The Human Emperor didn't persuade and looked at the guards beside him.

The guards understood and went down to make arrangements. Very soon, tables emerged outside the main hall. The Human Emperor sat down and hundreds of officials sat down one after another.

There were also spiritual fruits and fine wine. The emperor and officials drank together and watched the juniors comprehending on the clouds. The atmosphere was very joyous.

There were also some people who laughed and chatted with each other, commenting on the heaven's chosen of the various sects. Their words were packed with praise.

At Xu Qing's side, an old man in blue court attire cupped his hands and smiled warmly.

"Lord Xu, it's a pity that you didn't take part in the comprehension. This opportunity is very rare."

Xu Qing returned the greeting and spoke politely.

"It's a pity that my apt.i.tude is limited."

The old man was about to continue when the Human Emperor's voice rang out.

"Everyone, today let's speak frankly, regardless of ranks. Which of my princes do you think is additional suitable to be the Crown Prince?"

As soon as the Human Emperor spoke, the place fell silent.

A long time later, the Grand Chancellor spoke softly.

"The State Preceptor observes the astronomical phenomenon and reads the aura of fortune, and should be able to offer insight."

The Human Emperor turned his head slightly and looked at the empty s.p.a.ce on his right.

"State Preceptor, what do you think?

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Qing abruptly lifted his head and looked to the right of the Human Emperor.

As the void fluctuated, a figure was faintly discernible.
