Chapter 314: Chapter 173: A Hundred Years Later, The 5th Traversal
[It remains dormant most of the time and will not awaken unless its true form is harmed.]
Wang Xiao’s eyes flashed.
So this was the source of all Great Dao Creatures!
’It’s a shame there don’t seem to be any fragments of Immortal Objects here. Otherwise, the Book of Space-Time would have definitely reacted.’
Wang Xiao thought with regret.
The most precious item he had ever seen was the Marvel known as the [Heart of the Starry Sky] on the Invincible Road!
But as for Immortal Objects, which were a higher tier than Marvels, or even Forbidden Items, he hadn’t seen a single trace of them.
As Wang Xiao was lost in thought,
BUZZ!
An intense golden light suddenly erupted from the ground.
The golden light twisted and contorted, finally coalescing into a human figure!
The figure was indistinguishable from a human, but a dense fluctuation of Time flowed around its body.
The moment it appeared,
Time seemed to freeze. Even the dust motes in the air solidified in place.
Wang Xiao felt his Divine Thought get bogged down as if it had sunk into a swamp, barely able to move an inch as it neared the figure.
’The Time Great Dao?!’ Wang Xiao’s eyes narrowed.
Without a word, the figure lunged at Wang Xiao.
’Interesting. But your Time Great Dao can’t affect me!’
Wang Xiao’s Destiny Great Dao and Cause and Effect Great Dao released a dense Dao Charm, which converged into a great net to protect him.
In an instant,
the frozen and sealed Time in the surroundings could no longer affect him in the slightest.
He gripped his Celestial Destiny Sword and charged the figure.
「A few moments later.」
BANG!
Wang Xiao annihilated the figure with a single sword strike, causing it to explode into motes of spiritual light that nourished the Rule Tree!
A tide of the Time Great Dao’s aura surged forth, all of it captured by Wang Xiao.
Within it, Time seemed to form countless complex models that Wang Xiao analyzed.
This deepened Wang Xiao’s understanding of Time!
’Again!’
Feeling invigorated, Wang Xiao unleashed his Divine Thought, continuously attracting various Great Dao Creatures formed from the Origin Great Dao.
The aura of the Origin Great Dao he captured grew richer and denser with every Great Dao Creature he slew.
Just like that, a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye!
「Inside the Great Dao Relics.」
Wang Xiao let out a light sigh and perceived his Inner World.
At this moment,
inside his Inner World,
besides the Destiny Dao Fruit and the Cause and Effect Dao Fruit,
three more Origin Dao Fruits had appeared.
They were the Time Dao Fruit, the Space Dao Fruit, and the Life Dao Fruit!
As for the remaining Daos—Death, Matter, Void, and Reincarnation—their corresponding Great Dao Creatures rarely appeared.
Thus, Wang Xiao was unable to achieve Enlightenment in them.
He also had a faint feeling that it was becoming more and more strenuous for him to stay here.
His Great Daoist Nascent Soul was beginning to be affected by the Rule Tree.
If he stayed any longer, not only would he be unable to gain any more Enlightenment, but he might even be assimilated by the Rule Tree.
’It seems the maximum time one can stay here is one hundred years. After that, the drawbacks of further Enlightenment outweigh the benefits.’
Wang Xiao mused.
Just then,
Gu Tiandu’s voice reached him:
"Wang Xiao, one hundred years are up. It’s time to leave!"
Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered. Without another moment’s delay, his figure flashed, and he quickly departed from the mountain range.
「Outside the mountain range.」
When Gu Tiandu saw Wang Xiao, he couldn’t help but ask:
"How did your Enlightenment go?"
Wang Xiao replied,
"I only managed to comprehend three of the Origin Great Daos."
Gu Tiandu nodded slightly.
"It seems the results were quite good. However, you’ve been here for a hundred years, and your aura has almost fused with these relics. It will be difficult to comprehend any more of the related Great Daos if you stay longer."
"You’ll need to wait another hundred years for your aura to fade from the relics before you can re-enter for further Enlightenment. Of course, in Earth time, that’s only about three months."
"Come on, I’ll take you back to Earth."
Gu Tiandu said no more. With a wave of his hand, a Chaos Sect appeared.
He led Wang Xiao and stepped inside.
As light and shadow flowed around them,
Wang Xiao found himself back in the Martial Arts Hall on Earth in an instant.
’This Chaos Sect truly is a Curiosity. So convenient! It’s an instant town portal!’
Wang Xiao marveled internally.
Gu Tiandu said,
"Rest well for the next three months. Take the time to reacclimate the three Origin Great Daos you’ve comprehended to Earth. After three months, I’ll take you back to the Great Dao Relics to continue your meditation!"
Wang Xiao nodded.
"Alright. Thank you, Elder Gu."
"No need for thanks. In the future, we may have to rely on you to venture beyond the stars."
Gu Tiandu smiled. He didn’t linger and stepped directly into the Chaos Sect.
After Gu Tiandu had left,
Wang Xiao’s eyes flickered slightly.
In his mind, the Book of Space-Time emitted a faint golden glow, and the sound of pages turning could be heard.
This meant he could travel through space-time again!
