The sky and the earth are spinning, and there is no difference between heaven and earth.
The space seemed endless, and the next moment it was extremely small.
Time seems to stretch out, and the next moment becomes fleeting again.
They merged with each other to form a huge and unfathomable whirlpool, swallowing up the Starry Sky Tower where Xu Qing was.
The terrifying power exploded within, forming a vast traction force that surpassed the extremes of the storm, destroying everything and destroying everything.
Falling on the Starlight Tower also affects the Starlight Tower itself and the route forward.
Compared with it, the Starlight Tower is like a lonely boat in the raging waves, vulnerable to a blow.
Just in the blink of an eye, outside the Starlight Tower, the layers that Zhang San added later collapsed and shattered, exploded into countless fragments, and scattered in all directions.
Those fragments were pulled and shattered again, turned into fly ash, and finally dissipated in the vortex of time and space.
Only the original ruined tower that was revealed after losing all the acquired modifications was not destroyed in the vortex, and was rotating rapidly under the power of the vortex.
The broken tower itself is spinning, and it is also circling with the pull of the whirlpool, creating a sense of chaos.
Even if you look carefully, you can see that the rotation speed of the broken tower itself is much faster than the rotation speed of the vortex.
This is caused by the material difference between the two.
This different rotational speed created a terrifying pulling force, causing Xu Qing in the Starlight Tower to feel an extreme impact.
Although he was sitting cross-legged in the tower, his body was already floating and turning.
Unable to control myself.
And it is also inconsistent with the rotation speed of the tower where it is located, it must be faster.
As for the reason, it is also determined by the different materials of each other.
So at this moment, to be precise, the whirlpool, the broken tower, and Xu Qing are all spinning, and each is different.
The pull formed in this way is natural and extreme.
Xu Qing's body trembled, as if it was about to tear apart.
What caused him more pain came from his soul.
It is difficult to describe his current specific cognition. He only feels that everything he perceives is clear in the previous breath and blurry in the next breath. Even the color is like this when viewed within the scope of his spiritual mind.
Sometimes two colors, sometimes nine colors, sometimes colorless, sometimes chaos.
This is the scene that appears in Xu Qing's mind at this moment.
As for his eyes, they were not opened.
That was what the Palace Master of Xiaxian Palace warned Xu Qing when he asked about the method of traveling through the original sea.
During the passage, Xu Qing was warned not to open his eyes because of his insufficient cultivation.
So Xu Qing's eyes were always closed.
And this passage process lasted for an extremely long time, as if the road ahead was an endless abyss.
I don't know how much time passed, but the pain Xu Qing endured continued to increase. His body was almost unable to feel the pain, as if it almost no longer belonged to him.
His soul was even more like this. Under this change in cognition, it fell into extreme chaos.
The torture caused by all this caused Xu Qing to have a strong life and death crisis.
"This can't go on like this. The whirlpool, the pull between the remaining tower and me at different speeds will result in either...the collapse of the remaining tower, or the collapse of my body and spirit. The latter is the most likely."
"And this feeling, I have had a similar experience before!"
At this moment when his body was torn apart and his soul was about to go crazy, Xu Qing bit his tongue fiercely, using the pain at the tip of his tongue to forcefully stimulate himself to stabilize his mind.
The effect is not obvious, it only works for a moment.
Although it was only for a moment, Xu Qing still used this fleeting time to find the source of a similar experience.
That was... the scene where human nature, divinity and animal nature broke out in the Moon Sacrifice Domain.
At that time, he was also trapped in this kind of chaos, unable to reach balance, and his soul was about to collapse.
The final solution was that he found the anchor!
This achieves balance and calms the mind.
"Anchor... balance..."
In the chaos of human nature, divinity, and animal nature, Xu Qing's anchor was his obsession and regret for the flower of life.
"Then now..."
After a few breaths, Xu Qing made a decisive decision and gave up on following the warnings of Palace Master Xia Xian, because if he continued, he would be too passive and his life or death would be unknown.
That being the case, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Xu Qing's eyes suddenly opened at this moment.
The moment it opened and closed, he saw the Starlight Tower and felt an even stronger dizziness.
In his eyes, the tower was rotating rapidly, especially when he himself was also rotating, and the feeling of chaos was extremely strong.
Xu Qing's eyes were bloodshot, and his body's cultivation continued to explode. He made hand gestures and waved around continuously, using the power of cultivation to adjust his own rotation speed.
Finally, after dozens of attempts and at the cost of spitting out a lot of blood, he finally reduced his own speed and slowly reached the same speed as the tower.
At the moment when they rotate at the same speed, most of the tearing feeling in the soul and body has finally dissipated.
He and the tower reached a balance, becoming one with the same rotation direction and speed.
In this way, the pulling will naturally be reduced.
This is what Xu Qing thought of, anchor!
Xu Qing exhaled a long breath.
"Myself, the broken tower, and the vortex outside, the rotation speed and direction of the three are exactly the same, and they balance each other. This is the anchor!"
"Then now, it is necessary for me and the broken tower to match the speed and direction of the vortex outside."
Xu Qing did not dare to relax at this moment. After analyzing from the bottom of his heart, he relied on his control of the divine vine to try to indirectly control the remaining tower and slowly adjust it.
Time passed. I don’t know how long it had passed. Finally, under Xu Qing’s careful control, the rotation speed of him and the remaining tower decreased.
The rotation speed of the vortex gradually reaches equilibrium.
At the moment of mutual balance, although the three parties seemed to be rotating, because the speed and direction were the same, in Xu Qing's perception... it was as if he, the broken tower, and the vortex were all at rest.
The moment this feeling of stillness appeared in his mind, Xu Qing also saw the outside world.
He saw the vast whirlpool and how time seemed to flow within it.
I saw countless spaces alternating with each other.
He even saw blurry scenes of history emerging in the whirlpool, accompanied by scenes of the future, intertwined within.
Vaguely, he seemed to see himself...
But before he could see it clearly, time and space were completely merged together under the power of this vortex.
The roaring sound came from the whirlpool, from the broken tower, and from Xu Qing's mind.
The next moment, the broken tower and him were completely integrated into the whirlpool.
Disappeared.
As for Xu Qing, as the roar in his mind became so intense, he could no longer suppress it and fell into a slumber.
…
In the unknown star ring, in the unknown world.
The earth is dry and yellow, filled with cracks like spider webs, and this is true in all directions.
The sky was pitch black, with three menacing eyes hanging high, looking at the earth.
There is not much light in this world, only the three eyes on the sky, like the moon, emit faint light, covering the whole world.
It was hazy and deathly silent at the same time.
Time passes and a day passes.
There is one more eye in the sky.
Shortly after the fourth eye appeared, a whirlpool appeared on the dry and cracked earth in this world.
This vortex only existed for a moment and then dissipated.
A ruined tower was left behind.
After a while, Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes in the ruined tower. His eyes were blank at first, and then became clear the next moment. He became alert and looked around suddenly, sensing the outside world.
After a moment, Xu Qing frowned.
He didn't know if this was the fifth star ring.
Although it was highly likely, the appearance outside made him hesitate.
Because according to his understanding, he traveled from the primitive sea, so the location where he appeared should be the primitive sea of the star ring he went to.
So he instinctively looked over his shoulder.
The clay fox, for some reason, really turned into a clay sculpture, motionless on his shoulder.
Xu Qing was silent and felt his injuries.
Then he did not choose to go out immediately, but closed his eyes and meditated.
Two days later, with the injury mostly recovered, Xu Qing opened his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, he stood up and walked out of the ruined tower. The moment he stood outside, he raised his head and looked at the six eyes in the sky.
"One more per day."
Xu Qing murmured.
The surroundings were quiet, there was no wind, and there was no breath.
It's as if this world is in extreme withering.
Xu Qing was no stranger to this feeling.
Before he worshiped the Seven Blood Eyes, he had lived like this for several years in the wilderness of Nanhuang Continent.
The difference is that at that time, he was still a mortal.
"First of all, we need to see what the state of this world is, and then look for life and explore whether this place is the fifth star ring."
"If it is the fifth star ring, we must go to the Immortal Capital as soon as possible..."
"If not..."
Xu Qing thought for a moment and put away the remaining tower.
This tower, after experiencing the whirlpool, is now in dilapidated condition. Since it will be used when returning to the ninth star ring in the future, it is inconvenient to continue using it now.
"After we determine the star ring, we need to find a place to repair the tower."
After doing all this, Xu Qing did not hesitate. With vigilance, his body swayed forward and disappeared in an instant.
The exploration began.
One day later, a seventh eye appeared in the sky.
The scattered light gradually revealed the color of blood.
But Xu Qing's figure was no longer in the blood, he appeared underground in this world.
There, he saw a huge coffin.
Buried deep in the earth.
Countless marks, countless runes, and countless iron chains bound and surrounded the coffin. At the same time, there was a huge formation surrounding the coffin.
This formation operates all the time, drawing away the vitality of the being inside the coffin, allowing it to permeate the outside and nourish the world.
After staring for a long time, Xu Qing's pupils slowly contracted.
"What's inside the coffin is a god..."
Xu Qing backed away slowly.
Another day, an eighth eye appeared in the sky, and the bloody light it emitted became a little thicker.
In this bloody light, Xu Qing's figure appeared on the top of a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a city.
In the bloody light, the city looked strange and ominous.
Staring at the city, Xu Qing's eyes showed thoughts.
In two days, he traveled to many places.
Not only was the coffin underground, but outside, he also saw the life here.
Not a human race, but a race similar to the human race, with blue skin and triangular pupils in their eyes.
Most of them are monks.
It's just that no matter whether they are lay people or monks, everyone is skinny, their bodies are not full of vitality, their eyes are lifeless, and they are like walking corpses.
In addition, the monks here... at the highest level, are only Nascent Souls.
Even in the city that Xu Qing is looking at now, according to his perception, the three strongest people in it are all Nascent Souls.
"Could it be that this is a small world?"
"But judging from the fact that the nutrients absorbed by that coffin are used to nourish the world, this shouldn't be the case here."
Xu Qing thoughtfully walked out and stepped into the city.
Walking inside, the monks here are simply unable to notice that there are strangers around them. The gap in cultivation between them means that Xu Qing is here. If he doesn't want to, no one can sense it at all.
In this way, Xu Qing walked all the way in the city and saw pedestrians, shops, and monks. Without exception, they were all withered and thin, and the most aura exuding from him was despair.
Xu Qing pondered, looked up at the eight eyes in the sky, and then found an ancestral hall enshrined in the city.
There are the most monks here, and the buildings are luxurious and exquisite, which attracted Xu Qing's attention.
Walking into the ancestral hall, the first thing that caught Xu Qing's eyes was the altar.
On it, nine bloody eyes are enshrined.
There are murals carved around it, describing myths and legends.
This is exactly the information Xu Qing needs.
So he looked immediately, and gradually he saw the story of this world from these murals.
This was a peaceful world, but an unknown number of years ago, an evil sun suddenly appeared in the sky.
His appearance plunged the world into withering and death, making all living beings miserable.
Finally, in this misery and despair, nine heroes appeared. They killed the evil sun, but they themselves were seriously injured and on the verge of death.
As a result, the nine heroes incarnated themselves into heaven and turned into nine eyes to protect all living beings.
It's just that their injuries were too serious, so in order to be protected for a long time, they need some vitality to accumulate every nine days.
From then on, all living beings in this world willingly sacrificed their lives every time the nine eyes appeared in the sky.
"Nine eyes, nine heroes."
"The gods under the ground should be the evil sun in the legend."
"Then who are these nine heroes..."
Xu Qing looked away from the mural. In his opinion, this so-called legend was just beautification for better harvesting.
"However, the clues are finally there."
Xu Qing took a step forward, and his figure disappeared. When he appeared, he was already on the mountain peak outside the city.
Standing there, Xu Qing looked calm and simply sat cross-legged. While recovering from the injuries caused by the vortex, he looked up at the eight bloody eyes of the sky, silently waiting for the appearance of the ninth eye.
He believes that when the ninth eye appears, he will be able to see the world more clearly.
