Talisman Emperor
Chapter 1439 The Barrier Without Borders
The Temporal Grand Dao was just like the other two Grand Grand Grandsons of space and life and death, they were divided into countless branches.
For example, Time Predictions that can infer the future, or Time Backtrack that can return something to its original state, or various other branches such as Time Shadow, Time Layer, Time Freeze, Time Acceleration, and Time, and so forth and so on.
Just based on their name alone, it was clear that time energy definitely deserved its reputation as one of the three supreme Grand Dao Laws.
Ordinary Saint Immortals only had to comprehend the traces of the depths of these three supreme Grand Dao Laws before they could break through and advance into the Half-step King Realm.
On the other hand, if one wished to advance to the Eternal King Realm, then the prerequisites fully understood these three supreme Grand Dao Laws.
In other words, if Chen Xi only intended to advance to the Half-step King Realm now, then he would only have to hold one single branch when comprehending the Temporal Grand Dao.
On the other hand, the other two supreme Grand Dao Laws were also the same.
…
In the Realm of Time, the time vortex was suffused with a translucent glass-like light as if it was spinning and fluctuating above Chen Xi, and it was emitting a strand of material energy seemingly time.
Right now, his entire body suddenly seemed to undergo a transformation.
His snow white hair gradually became jet black.
His face that was engulfed by an aging and experienced aura began to reveal a young, gentle, and fair glow.
Even until his vitality and lifespan which had been swept by over 50% began to recover quickly at an incredible speed.
In just a few breaths of time, Chen Xi's appearance once again returned to its original state. His vitality was excited, his vital blood was plentiful, his vitality surged vigorously, and his vital essence roared like a dragon!
Swooshes!
Chen Xi who had originally stood still in a deadly silence finally opened her eyes for the first time in twenty years. His gaze was like a flash of light as it tore through space, and was filled with oppressive might.
At this moment, his appearance was the same as before, yet his attitude was completely different. He looked like a rock in an ocean of time, and no matter how powerful and boundless the waves of time washed over him, he was unable to move it at all.
Time can no longer age its appearance.
Time is no longer without mercy.
The time was like an emblem stamped on his palm, and it had already fused with his body long ago.
Time cannot limit its past, present, and future any longer!
"Time!" Chen Xi muttered with a calm expression, and the scene in his eyes changed illusively while a profound sheen of wisdom flowed within them. He seemed to be able to see through the veil of time and look at the essence of the world.
Hissing! Hissing!
He suddenly flicked his sleeve. In an instant, several thousand strands of sword qi emerged from thin air, and they shot out from all sorts of different directions at the same time.
It seemed like Chen Xi had split into several thousand figures that attacked at the same time from all directions.
"Shadows of Time!" Outside of the Realm of Time, Hua Jiankong's eyes twinkled while he was greatly shocked.
Once one caught this branch of the Grand Temporal Dao, one could control time and form shadows, thus instantly overlapping the thousands of strands of sword qi that shot out from all directions. This power was great because it finished at the same time and shot out like an overlapping shadow, so it could be considered as unbelievable and shocking.
Many years ago, Yun Fusheng relied on this to make a name for himself.
Swish!
Chen Xi stretched out her hand and grabbed. Thousands of sword qi strands that erupted with explosions suddenly shot through the air, and they were more than twice as fast as before. It was somewhat unexpected, and could shock others.
"Time Speed!" Hua Jiankong was shocked once again in his heart after witnessing this scene. He finally realized that Chen Xi had not returned empty-handed within these twenty years, and Chen Xi had instead comprehended the two branches of time energy!
However, before Hua Jiankong could recover from his shock, he saw Chen Xi move once more, and Chen Xi each executed two completely new branches of time, he said, Time Remodeling and Wheel of Time!
"This person ..." With Hua Jiankong's aloof and indifferent attitude, he couldn't help but be moved at this moment, and he gasped. Within twenty years, he comprehended four different branches of time energy! There are probably only a few in the entire three dimensions that can be compared to him, right?
Especially the Wheel of Time. Among the many branches of the Temporal Laws, it was a top-tier terrifying existence.
Once executed, time is like a wheel. No matter how one struggled, one would only get lost in a round of time, causing one's life and death to be fully grasped in his hands!
Swish!
Meanwhile, a wave of fluctuations appeared in the Time Realm before Chen Xi's figure emerged from it, and it jolted Hua Jiankong waking up from his shock.
"Senior." Chen Xi cupped her hands and spoke.
Chen Xi thought for a moment and answered honestly. “I can only be considered to have learned the basics of it. If it were not for the consumption of my lifespan during the comprehension too quickly, then perhaps I would still be able to comprehend even more. "
As he finished speaking, he could not help but feel a hint of regret in his heart.
As he said, while he was in a strange state of comprehension, he sensed all sorts of time energies, and they formed a dense mass of over a thousand kinds.
Unfortunately, it was precisely because his life span consumption was too terrifying and his vitality was washed away at such a terrifying rate that he could only comprehend the four types of branches between them in the end, and they are each the Shadow of Time, Renovation Time, Time Acceleration, and the Wheel of Time.
Although his lifespan and vitality had recovered back to his original state now, if he wanted to continue understanding it, he was unable to return to that strange state of understanding anymore.
"It's Incredible." Hua Jiankong gave Chen Xi rare words of praise when he heard this.
"It's all thanks to Senior to bring me to the Realm of Time, otherwise I would definitely not be able to comprehend such strength in such a short period of time." Chen Xi replied with a smile on her face.
“Twenty years have passed now. Will you continue to understand the energy of time, or will you begin to understand the Grand Dao Law of Life and Life? ”Ask Hua Jiankong.
"Twenty years?" Chen Xi was stunned. He never imagined that after a single understanding of the Dao, twenty years would pass quickly when he opened his eyes once more!
This caused his heart to tense. Twenty years! What's been going on in the outside world all this time?
"This is the jade slip that the little girl from the Xuanyuan Clan sent here for so many years." As if he had seen through Chen Xi's mind, Hua Jiankong flipped his palm before more than ten jade slips appeared on it, and then he passed it over to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi was stunned, and she did not hide anything and immediately started reading it.
The contents of the jade slip were very simple. It recorded everything that had happened within the Zuoqiu Clan over the past twenty years in detail. The most striking piece of information among all of this was that Zuoqiu Feiming's faction had suffered a strong and bloody suppression from the current Patriarch, Zuoqiu Feng.
Moreover, this oppression still continues. According to the information A'Xiu received, if nothing unexpected happened, then Zuoqiu Feiming and the others would definitely be defeated by Zuoqiu Feng within a hundred years!
Chen Xi naturally clearly realized that the reason her mother, Zuoqiu Xue, was able to live safely until now was because she had the support of Zuoqiu Feiming and the others in the Zuoqiu Clan.
Now, these people had suffered from Zuoqiu Feng's strong and bloody suppression, and it caused Chen Xi's heart to be unable to help but feel a little heavy. He was very clearly aware that the situation that his mother, Zuoqiu Xue, was going through had already started to get bad.
Chen Xi became extremely wary because according to the information provided in the jade slip from A'Xiu, it was highly likely that the external help relied on by Zuoqiu Feng came from the Sovereign Sect.
If this was true, then it meant that if Chen Xi wanted to take revenge on the Zuoqiu Clan, she could not avoid facing the threat of the Sovereign Sect.
"Secte Sovereign .. Zuoqiu Feng .. They had actually started working together. Why is this happening? Could it be for the sake of dealing with me? "After he finished reading the contents of the jade slip, Chen Xi could not help but fall into deep contemplation.
He took a deep breath after a long time, and he threw away all the disturbing thoughts in his mind and stopped thinking about them.
Chen Xi was very clearly aware that he was preparing his plan for revenge on the Zuoqiu Clan, but at the same time, the Zuoqiu Clan was executing an intense plan to deal with him and even his mother, Zuoqiu Xue's.
Right now, it seemed like the real conflict had yet to occur between them. However, they were actually making the best use of it every second they had to make all sorts of preparations!
"Senior, I intend to understand the life and death energy now." In the end, Chen Xi made a decision. The current situation had yet to arrive at a critical state, so he intended to strengthen himself as soon as possible.
Not only that, he still had to wait for a favorable situation for him to arrive. Because it was absolutely impossible for him to achieve his wish of revenge on the Zuoqiu Clan himself.
This meant that he had to wait for Shi Yu, Xiangliu Li, Dao Yao, Sun Wuhen, Pang Du, and the other Immortal Kings to emerge from their closed door cultivation. He had to wait for the Dean of the inner court, Chi Cangsheng, the Ancestor of the Phoenix Clan, Zhao Taici, and the Dimensional Dragon Ancestor, Ao Jiuhui, to reappear to the world as well …
At that time, he would be able to rely on the strength of these great figures to launch a swift attack on the Zuoqiu Clan!
"It is impossible to find any traces of life and death energy. However, there is a very direct method to allow you to experience its depth. But this process is a bit cruel, so you sure you want to start understanding it now? ”Ask Hua Jiankong with a very serious expression.
"What method is that?" Chen Xi was stunned, and she could not help but feel fear in her heart. How terrifying did even Hua Jiankong feel it was such a cruel method?
Hua Jiankong replied. "Life and death. If you don't experience life and death, how can you understand its depth? You remember your experience in the Tomb of the Eternal Kings, right? If you want to grasp the life and death energy, then the process is roughly similar to challenging Sword Exalt, but it will become even more bloody and cruel. "
He unintentionally scared Chen Xi, and that was because the Law of Life and Death was one of the three supreme Laws. Moreover, if one wanted to understand it, it was even more difficult and dangerous than comprehending the supreme Laws of time and space.
Chen Xi pondered deeply for a long time before she finally said with a smile, "Senior, please guide me."
Hua Jiankong glanced at Chen Xi before he said, "Follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and brought Chen Xi along as he instantly disappeared.
When Chen Xi's field of vision recovered, he had already arrived in a strange and chaotic world. Everywhere that met his eyes was covered in mist, and he was unable to sense anything at all.
“This is Boundless Barrier, and there are eighteen big barriers in life and death that are inside. Every great barrier was just like experiencing a life and death cycle. If you can endure to the end, then perhaps you will be able to understand the depths of life and death, "Hua Jiankong spoke in a very serious tone from the side. "Remember. Life and death are always changing. You really shouldn't be obsessed in there! "
Chen Xi's heart trembled, then she took a deep breath and nodded.
When he saw this, Hua Jiankong stopped hesitating, and he fused his fingers before forcefully tearing apart the gaps in the chaotic world. It was like the bloody mouth of an ancient ferocious beast suddenly opened wide, and instantly engulfed Chen Xi's entire body …
