Moments later.
He dressed neatly, and Ning Xin tenderly adjusted his collar, "Letās go!"
"Okay!"
Chen Xuan nodded contently, then wrapped his arm around her waist and walked out of the room.
During the meal.
"Husband, when can we go see Xiaoqi?"
Lan MengāEr asked with a smile, it had been a long time. It wasnāt just her, everyone missed him.
Especially Ning Xin, after being in seclusion for so long, she missed the little guy even more.
As Chen Xuanās only offspring, she naturally cared deeply.
"Heās still in seclusion. This time is special; Xiaoqi is aiming for Double Five. So for now, letās not go. Heāll send a message when heās out."
Chen Xuan swallowed the porridge in his mouth, then spoke slowly.
"Letās wait a bit longer then."
Seeing Lan MengāEr wanting to speak, Ning Xin spoke first, and she quietly lowered her head as well.
Since the last time, she had been a bit intimidated by Ning Xin.
"Iām full!"
"Going to cultivate now."
Chen Xuan stood up and then left the hall, heading toward the study. The opening of the Burial Ground was not far off, he needed to quickly comprehend the Rule Seed of Time completely.
"Eat up!"
...
In the study, Chen Xuan focused without distractions.
The Rule Seed of Time in his consciousness exuded a faint glow.
He then began to comprehend.
Scenes started to appear in his mind.
Suddenly!
The scenes shifted, and Chen Xuan felt dizzy as if the world was spinning.
"Whatās happening?"
He was shocked in his heart.
Like falling into a vortex, his Divine Soul was tugged by a powerful force.
Abruptly!
The entire world came to a halt.
"Urgh..."
He felt nauseated.
But when he saw the scene before him, he was stunned.
An endless space, beneath his feet lay a shining white Dao, stretching as far as the eye could see, like a long river.
Inside the river, dots of light flickered.
"Whatās going on?"
"Could this be the Time Dao?"
This was totally different from his comprehension with the Tree-man Race.
"Is it because Iāve comprehended ten points of progress and entered the realm?"
Chen Xuan speculated internally.
Just then, a dot of light detached from the river and came right before him.
In an instant!
The dot of light vanished, embedding into his forehead.
"Boom!"
Different scenes suddenly filled Chen Xuanās memory.
A moment later!
"So this is the true Rule of Time."
Chen Xuan now understood.
Those ten points of progress were akin to a key; without which, one couldnāt even come here, let alone comprehend the true Rule of Time.
Sitting cross-legged.
Thus, Chen Xuan sat above the river, every time he comprehended a dot of light, the next dot would leave the river and come before him.
Time flew by.
Six months passed in a blink.
During this period, Chen Xuan kept comprehending the Rule of Time, playing with several women when tired, or chatting idly with Tang Gu, living quite leisurely.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Imperial City grew heavier day by day.
Because the Burial Ground was about to open.
Inside Qixuan Hall.
Emperor Yu was still in seclusion, it had been half a year, no one had seen him.
Everything was handled by the Three Dukes and Zhan Tian.
But most of the time, Zhan Tian just showed up, rarely speaking, whatever the Three Dukes said, went.
"The fluctuations at the entrance to the Burial Ground are getting stronger. Based on past experience, it will open in at most three months."
Duke Qin said solemnly.
The opening of the Burial Ground signaled the arrival of other continentsā talents.
Yet it remained uncertain if only these talents, or more powerful experts would come.
Regardless, Great Yu must prepare in advance.
"When will Your Majesty come out of seclusion?"
Duke Liu asked.
The day when Emperor Yu summoned Duke Qin alone, nobody knew what was discussed.
Additionally, the Transmission Channel required Emperor Yu to activate it.
"Not sure."
Duke Qin shook his head, "But Your Majesty said he would definitely come out on time and wonāt delay."
As per the order of Emperor Venerable, even Emperor Yu couldnāt slack off.
"Has there been any unusual activity in the danger zones during this time?"
Duke Qin asked since after Emperor Yu went into seclusion, almost all matters of Great Yu fell to him, and so he entrusted Duke Liu with overseeing the affairs of the danger zones.
"The three major danger zones are destroyed, the rest have retreated."
"Dare they act?"
"Humph!"
Duke Liu snorted coldly. If not for the suppression against the Human Race, Great Yu would have wiped out the other danger zones long ago.
"Thatās good!"
Duke Qin nodded, satisfied with this outcome. No matter what, during the opening of the Burial Ground, there must be no hidden dangers.
"What about Hidden Kill?"
He glanced at Zhan Tian, apart from the danger zones, thereās only it remaining.
Even though last time Emperor Yu teamed up with Zhou, only he knew Emperor Yu paid a heavy price.
Hidden Kill and Great Yu remained arch-enemies.
"No changes, occasionally it causes some trouble."
"Killed those who needed killing, escaped those who fled. The Three Judicial Departments also lost some members."
Zhan Tianās voice sounded as if he was half-asleep, somewhat languid.
He had no desire for such matters, would rather be tending to flowers and Spirit Rice in his small courtyard.
At the very least, bragging with Liu Sheng was preferable.
"Be more vigilant."
Duke Qin was dissatisfied with this answer, but seeing Zhan Tianās indifferent attitude, the reprimand on his tongue was swallowed, he then reminded him.
"Alrightā"
Zhan Tian slowly stood up, "Understood, Iāll have the Three Judicial Departments of the hundred offices keep a watch, if thereās nothing else, Iāll be leaving."
Though phrased as a question, before Duke Qin could answer, he had already walked out of Qixuan Hall.
