Outside Of Time

1783  The Tenth Extremity!

The path to comprehending the Tenth Extremity was destined to be arduous and fraught with obstacles.

Even for Xu Qing, who had pondered it deeply throughout his journey—who had experienced multiple epiphanies and even witnessed the comprehensions of Immortal Lord Mi Ming—none of these could serve as a direct blueprint. They could only be references, not choices.

Because his Ordinance's bloom had to be nourished by his own experiences to give rise to a Law uniquely his own.

"This is the process of an Ordinance birthing a Law…"

Xu Qing murmured, his lifted foot hovering mid-air, not yet taking that step.

He was contemplating.

Contemplating whether his preparations were truly complete.

"The Five Elements as the foundation, time and space superimposed to form spacetime… Then, through this turbulence, I confirmed my spacetime was incomplete—realizing that right and wrong are one, that only together do they constitute true spacetime."

"With this, the foundational Ordinance of spacetime is finally whole."

"Next…"

"If complete spacetime is regarded as a single point, then…"

Xu Qing lifted his head, and his foot abruptly descended.

The moment it touched the void, his Ninth Extremity—transcending spacetime—resonated like a divine chant, reverberating through the spacetime turbulence.

"Overlapping universes."

These words seemed to carry an arcane power, tugging at Xu Qing's consciousness, expanding endlessly as if he were on the verge of touching the most deep and mysterious truths of existence.

In an instant, the void before him transformed. It was as if he had ascended infinitely, while the spacetime turbulence he had been standing in shrank infinitely.

Until, in Xu Qing's perception, spacetime became a single point.

Within this point lay all the information contained in his Space-Time Ordinance.

And outside this point… Xu Qing's awareness suddenly detected more points forming.

More and more, densely packed, until they filled his entire field of vision.
