“Brother Yuan, the purple-clad young man isn’t even 100 years old!” The green-clad young man had used his Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian.
Upon hearing the green-clad young man’s words, the black-clad extended his Divine Consciousness to probe Duan Ling Tian as well. Although he could see Duan Ling Tian was slightly annoyed when Murong Xiao Xiao spoke to him, and he knew he did not stand a chance with her, he was still displeased.
The black-clad young man knew that for a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial who was not even 100 years old to make it this far, he had to be very lucky or powerful. Nevertheless, he did not think Murong Xiao Xiao’s enthusiasm was born from Duan Ling Tian’s strength. He thought it was more likely that she was friendly because of Ou Ya.
“How could he treat Murong Xiao Xiao like that?” The black-clad young man glared at Duan Ling Tian viciously. A trace of jealousy could be seen in the depths of his eyes as well.
Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian had noticed the two men’s Divine Consciousness probing him. A slight frown could be seen on his face as he thought to himself, ‘Hm? Who are they? Do I know them?’
However, when Duan Ling Tian saw the black-clad young man’s lovestruck gaze that was trained on Murong Xiao Xiao, realization quickly dawned on him. He sighed inwardly. ‘Beauty is really the root of all troubles!’
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of deafening explosions suddenly rang in the air above.
Duan Ling Tian was the first to look up.
The originally clear blue sky had turned grey and cloudy. A murky grey energy could be seen swirling in the air. The outer energy was churning clockwise while the inner energy churned anti-clockwise
At the same time, a voice rang in the air again. “In the final destination of the Celestial Lord Temple, you may observe the law of time through the Formation I left behind and try to comprehend it … I named this place Time Valley. Once you take a seat on the block of stone, you’ll be able to begin comprehending the law of time. The higher the block of stone you occupy, the easier it would be for you to comprehend the law of time. Naturally, this depends on your talent as well. If you’re talented, you’d be able to comprehend it even if you’re not seated at the top. However, it’d be undeniably easier if you’re seated at the top. You’ll be able to comprehend it until time runs out when the exit of the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm opens. At that time, all of you will be sent out.”
The three groups of people who were brought to Time Valley were shocked.
“The law of time?”
“If we sit on the stone block, we’ll be given a chance to comprehend the law of time left behind by the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord?”
“Previously, I’ve heard there are people who had comprehended the law of time’s Fundamental Profundity, the Time Elemental Profundity, after they exited the Southern Ancient Realm… Although they did not completely master the Time Elemental Profundity, it was still incredibly shocking. After all, the law of time is known as the most mysterious and profound law among the Four Supreme Laws!”
“That’s right. They, naturally, didn’t know when they had even encountered the law of time in the Southern Ancient Realm… As it turned out, they encountered it in the Celestial Lord Temple, and they had no memory of it because their memories were erased.”
“The law of time?” Ling Jue Yun’s eyes lit up instantly as he looked up at the highest stone block. It was rather eye-catching since it was all alone. That was the best place to comprehend the law of time!
A few people were also looking at the highest stone block with a covetous gaze. Many of those who had comprehended two profundities from a law intended to fight for that stone block.
Naturally, there were many who did not have such thoughts.
‘The law of time!’ Murong Xiao Xiao had stopped talking as soon as the law of time was mentioned. She looked at the highest stone block eagerly. However, as though she had recalled something, she turned to look at Duan Ling Tian who was standing next to her.
“Ladies first… Duan Ling Tian, you wouldn’t fight me for the highest stone block, right?” Without Duan Ling Tian, Murong Xiao Xiao, who was unaware of Ling Jue Yun’s strength, was confident she would be able to obtain the highest stone block. However, if Duan Ling Tian intended to fight her for that spot, she knew she would not stand a chance. Since she really wanted to comprehend the law of time, she decided to say those words to Duan Ling Tian even though they were rude and presumptuous.
Duan Ling Tian retorted, “You’re older than me, right? Shouldn’t you give in to your juniors?”
Murong Xiao Xiao glared at Duan Ling Tian when she heard his reply. Did he not know one should not talk about a woman’s age?
Meanwhile, the green-clad young man said to the black-clad young man, “Brother Yuan, I didn’t expect we’ll be given a chance to comprehend the law of time at our final destination in the Celestial Lord Temple!”
“I didn’t expect this as well…” The black-clad young man nodded as he looked at the highest stone block. Although he was relatively strong and had comprehended two profundities from the law of metal, he knew he was no match for Murong Xiao Xiao.
‘Damn it!’ The black-clad young man’s eyes found the two stone blocks that were roughly 100 meters below the highest one and cursed inwardly. ‘The highest seat will surely be taken by Murong Xiao Xiao… It seems like I can only claim one of the two second highest seats. I wonder who’ll be able to claim the other seat?’
Then, the black-clad young man turned to look at the green-clad young man and said indifferently, “Wang Xian, I’ll help you claim one of the two second-highest seats. What do you think?”
The green-clad young man did not give the highest stone block much attention. After all, he was well aware of his own strength. He was, naturally, interested in claiming the second-highest seat, but he was not sure he could claim it with his strength. After all, he had only comprehended the law of wind’s Fundamental Profundity, the Wind Elemental Profundity, and had not fully comprehended the second profundity. Upon hearing the black-clad young man’s words, his eyes brightened up immediately, and he thanked the black-clad young man profusely as though the seat was already his. “Thank you, Brother Yuan! Thank you!”
At this moment, Ling Jue Yun looked at Duan Ling Tian meaningfully as he sent him a Voice Transmission. “Duan Ling Tian…”
Before Ling Jue Yun could finish speaking, Duan Ling Tian interjected, “Don’t tell me you want the highest seat as well… I want it! However, we can fight for it!”
The corner of Ling Jue Yun’s mouth twitched after he heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. He did not think Duan Ling Tian was stronger than him even if Duan Ling Tian possessed a prominent artifact, and he only possessed a mediocre artifact. After all, with their current strength, they would not be able to unleash the full potential of their artifacts. However, he had to take into consideration that Huang’er had become Duan Ling Tian’s artifact soul.
Huang’Er was originally the artifact soul of Ling Jue Yun’s sister’s prominent artifact. After that, she had forcibly left the artifact and lived in his sea of consciousness. With her help, he managed to escape from the Divine Offering Land to the Devata Realm. If it were not for her, he would have died. Even without all these factors, he had already considered Huang’er a sister as when his sister was still alive. Since she had become the soul artifact of Duan Ling Tian’s prominent artifact, her life and death depended on Duan Ling Tian. Naturally, he did not want to offend Duan Ling Tian if it was possible.
Duan Ling Tian would have been rendered speechless if he could read Ling Jue Yun’s mind. Was he, Duan Ling Tian, that kind man?
Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone with eagerness as he looked at Ling Jue Yun and said, “So? Should we fight for the highest seat? We can use our artifact or not, it’s your choice… Of course, if we’re not using divine artifacts, you can’t use your Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon as well. We should fight with our King Grade Celestial Weapons that had been nurtured by Celestial Lords.”
Ling Jue Yun only grunted in response before he flew toward the blocks of stones at lightning speed.
