Outside Of Time

The officials in front of the hall were all stirred. They looked at Xu Qing and the Emperor Sword. While each had their own thoughts, respect gleamed in their eyes. At present, this respect had nothing to do with Xu Qing; they revered the Emperor Sword.

At that moment, Xu Qingʼs heart was in turmoil. He held the Emperor Sword in his hand and thought of the words the Sword Holding Emperor had said when he summoned him. Everything… made sense.

However, he wasnʼt too happy. This was because the moment he obtained this sword, it also meant that his feelings back then were true.

The Great Emperor was about to die.

He was entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.

And here, perhaps he was not the only one entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Great Emperor, but this sword was equally weighty.

Xu Qing sighed inwardly. Just as he was about to put away the Emperor Sword that held a mission, the light of this sword erupted again. The sword light flickered, forming a sea of light that drowned Xu Qingʼs figure. After that, it left his palm and rushed toward his forehead.

In the blink of an eye, the Emperor Sword and the sword light it emitted entered Xu Qingʼs forehead.

His body trembled. His three divine repositories manifested behind him, emitting a terrifying pressure. At the same time, the fourth secret repository… suddenly appeared!

Although it was only an outline, its appearance caused Xu Qingʼs cultivation to instantly rise and his aura to increase.

The fourth secret repository was still covered in fog. However, upon closer inspection, one could see the missing Emperor Sword being nurtured inside. Occasionally, it would emit a sharp edge that could shock the heavens and the earth and tear ghosts and gods.

This was an Emperor Swordʼs secret repository!

The moment it appeared, Xu Qingʼs three divine repositories all swayed, emitting divine might. The Emperor Swordʼs secret repository wasnʼt inferior either and its sword might towered into the sky.

Although it had nothing to do with gods, its terrifying power caused its existence to be as high as the divine repositories.

However, it was currently unable to be used by Xu Qing or controlled.

This was because this sword contained a mission and couldnʼt be controlled by an individualʼs will. Rather than saying that Xu Qing had been recognized as its master, it was better to say that he had been chosen by it to carry it.

Carrying the Emperor Sword, he would travel the world.

This sword was waiting. When the time came for it to fulfill its mission, it would fly out of the secret repository and slash down the target.

As the person carrying the sword, under the sword intent emitted by this sword and the gathered fortune, there would be many benefits and his achievements would be extraordinary.

Xu Qing understood as he stared at the Emperor Swordʼs secret repository.

The sword hum and the secret repository blurred, dissipating together with the three divine repositories.

The world fell silent.

The Human Emperor looked at Xu Qing with a deep gaze and smiled faintly.

”Good.”

The expression of the State Preceptor beside him didnʼt change as he smiled.

Xu Qing also looked at the State Preceptor at this moment. He tried to summon the Emperor Sword inwardly. If it was possible, he wanted to slash out at this moment.

Unfortunately… the Emperor Sword didnʼt move.

Xu Qing felt regretful.

As the Emperor Sword disappeared, the fluctuations on the Ancient Sovereign Planet dissipated. The ancestorsʼ statues became blurry. In the end, the vortices remained and the third princeʼs inheritance storm was revealed again.

Everything returned to before the Emperor Sword appeared.

However, most of the human heavenʼs chosen who were comprehending couldnʼt help but feel a sense of defeat. Only a few of them could remain calm.

Ning Yan was one of them. Although he was shocked at the start, when he thought about Xu Qingʼs experiences, he suddenly felt that this was very normal. Hence, he calmed down.

There was also the Third Prince.

He was very happy to see Xu Qing get the Emperor Sword. This was because if the fourth prince successfully comprehended the Great Emperorʼs inheritance, all the princes would be left behind.

To him, the current situation was the most perfect.

However, to the fourth prince, everything that had happened today caused his emotions to be extremely intense. Usually, when he was outside, he would look gentle and friendly. However, today…
