Capítulo 2085: Chapter 2084: Sea-Calming Pearl and Return to Yuan Central Continent

“Interesting, most people’s immortality is achieved by strengthening themselves to break the shackles and step into that uncharted realm.”

Xu Zimei smiled and said, “Yet, the Time Ancient God Zhu Jiuying goes against the tide, altering himself with external factors.

So, what was the result?”

The Ten Great Ancient Gods are truly extraordinary. They don’t study a wide range of skills like other cultivators.

Each of the Ten Great Ancient Gods focuses on their chosen path and works diligently towards it.

They have cultivated their respective paths to the extreme. Even Xu Zimei cannot guarantee surpassing the Time Ancient God in mastering the way of time.

That’s why he’s quite curious.

Zhuge Changkong shook his head and finally sighed, “Initially, reversing time did indeed help to extend lifespan, but as time went on,

the cost of reversing time for the Time Ancient God grew larger and larger.

Until in the end, when time accumulated to a certain extent, no matter how much he reversed it, it was to no avail.”

“You must understand that reversing time comes with a price. It may start off easy because only a few minutes or hours have passed.

But as the real-world time continues, day by day, year by year, decade by decade,

the effort to freeze time at a point bears increasingly harsh backlashes.

Until, in the end, when everything hits a critical point, there will be a backlash, reclaiming all the time you’ve let slip away.

You will perish.

Listening to Zhuge Changkong’s words, Xu Zimei could understand.

To reverse time, reality’s time must not progress.

Otherwise, as time keeps slipping away, the price for reversing it will grow greater and greater. It is a wrong path; no one can ignore the backlash of time.

“Please continue, what does this have to do with the Sea of Time?” Xu Zimei asked.

“After reaching the critical point, the Time Ancient God was quickly worn away by countless years of time.

Ordinarily, people would turn to dust under time’s ravages, but because the Time Ancient God’s control over time was too strong,

after his death, his body became the core, twisting time and creating a Sea of Time.”

Zhuge Changkong explained.

“This Sea of Time doesn’t have a fixed position; it floats within the time of the Nine Domains.

It’s hard to find or encounter it.

It’s said to be magical, allowing lucky ones to regain youth and live another lifetime.

For the unlucky, encountering it meant instant aging, or even disintegrating into ashes.”

“Are you saying the inheritance of the Time Ancient God Zuo Jiuyin is within the Sea of Time?” Xu Zimei asked.

“Then how does one find the Sea of Time?”

“The Sea-Calming Pearl, or Time Pearl,” said Zhuge Changkong.

“In essence, the Sea of Time cannot be pinpointed.

Its movements are entirely random.

It doesn’t even know where it is heading, so how could anyone else know?”

“But several millennia ago, an ancient god relic was unearthed, revealing many artifacts of the ancient gods.

Allegedly, these are remnants from the period when ancient gods sought the Dao.”

“The Wang family from the Human Emperor Hall had an ancestor who obtained a bead from these relics.

This bead was left by the Time Ancient God.”

“This bead is extraordinarily peculiar, able to halt time, freezing the passage of time across an entire world.

The Wang Family rose to prominence in the Robbery Immortal Domain thanks to this bead.”

“With the Sea-Calming Pearl, one can find and halt the Sea of Time.”

“If the Sea-Calming Pearl is so powerful, hasn’t anyone used it to find the Sea of Time over the years?” Lin Ruhu asked curiously.

“Many have tried,” Zhuge Changkong responded.

“Some seek the inheritance of the Time Ancient God.

Others wish to live another life when they’re near death, borrowing time from the Sea of Time.

Some succeeded, but most turned to ashes in failure.

Still, the inheritance of the Time Ancient God has yet to be found.

Now, some rumors suggest it is no longer in the Sea of Time, but I’m confident it is.”

“Once within the Sea of Time, you must contend with time itself, so I suggest Taoist Friend Xu take a look.

As for you, forget it,” Zhuge Changkong said to Lin Ruhu, glancing at him.

He didn’t look down on Lin Ruhu; it’s just that entering is far beyond Lin Ruhu’s capabilities.

“I won’t cause trouble for Zimo. I know my own strength,” Lin Ruhu nodded in reply.

“Looks like we’ll have to pay a visit to the Wang Family in the Human Emperor Hall,” Xu Zimei said.

“Either way, thanks for providing this clue.”

Before leaving, Xu Zimei took another look at Zhuge Changkong.

“If it’s ever possible, would you consider coming out from seclusion again?

There’s so much to see in this wonderful world, it would be a pity to miss it.”

“If one day you attack the Holy Court, I will certainly come,” Zhuge Changkong smiled.

“The downfall of the Zhuge family is thanks to the Holy Court. It is a feud, and I currently lack the ability for revenge.

But I wouldn’t mind adding insult to injury at a critical moment.”

This is an unspoken understanding.

Leaving the Zhuge family, Xu Zimei obtained much information, deeming the trip worthwhile.

He learned about the fundamental nature of the seal in the Ancient Demon Cave, which is predominantly Divine Might, requiring Divine Power to break.

He also learned about the inheritance of the Space Ancient God Di Jiang inside the Holy Court, along with information on the Wang Family.

“Zimo, are you considering recruiting Zhuge Changkong?” Lin Ruhu asked beside him.

“Forget his strength for now, but his way of observing the Dao is quite intriguing,” Xu Zimei replied with a smile.

“If he could be of use to me, it would be helpful indeed.”

“He resents the Holy Court, and if we can show our strength, he will naturally help us,” Lin Ruhu said.

“Where are we headed next, to the Wang family in the Human Emperor Hall?”

“No, let’s return to the Yuan Central Continent,” Xu Zimei suddenly said.

Previously, the issues with the True Martial Holy Sect on the strength of faith in the Yuan Central Continent were concerning to him.

Though it wasn’t urgent at the time.

After searching Zhuge Villa, he knew it couldn’t be postponed any longer.

Even though he had long left the Yuan Central Continent, and returning from the Nine Domains was no easy feat.

Xu Zimei was determined to return once more.

The True Martial Holy Sect was the last sacred place in his heart.

However, before heading back to the Yuan Central Continent, Xu Zimei decided to take Lin Ruhu to meet the True Martial Great Emperor.

The True Martial Great Emperor was currently in the Ghost God Realm, not in the Robbery Immortal Domain.

As the Robbery Immortal Domain was now dominated by the Holy Court, the True Martial Great Emperor also wasn’t prepared for a full-scale war with them.

Making premature moves before things were thoroughly prepared would be unwise.

Perhaps returning to the True Martial Holy Sect would require the True Martial Great Emperor’s help.
