The old priest's return surprised Li Xiandao.
He knew that the old priest had a fortuitous encounter and found the top treasure of the Taoist gods and demons, the Universe Clock.
The power of the Universe Clock was very strong. It was a peerless magic treasure born from the Time Dao.
Time Dao, this was one of the top Daos.
Time was supreme and space was king.
Like the Death Dao, it was one of the top Daos.
The Daos in the world were split into a few types.
The basic Daos were like the five elements and lightning.
The deeper ones were like life and death, yin and yang.
Supreme laws, time, space, death, etc.
The old priest comprehended the Time Dao.
But he was different from the Goddess of Death. She was chosen by the Death Dao and inherited everything from it.
One could say that she was death and death was her. They couldn't be separated.
The old priest wasn't so amazing.
He comprehended the Time Dao and obtained the Universe Clock. His potential increased by several times.
He could be said to be one of the candidates but he wasn't the inheritor of the Time Dao.
This was a fundamental difference.
But he was still really strong and exceeded Li Xiandao's expectations.
Li Xiandao didn't expect that the old priest would have such a fortuitous encounter to obtain the Universe Clock.
This was a surprise. Now that the old priest was back, Li Xiandao immediately welcomed him.
The old priest was still the same old priest. He looked really old and half of his body was in the grave.
His appearance and aura didn't change at all and he looked like a normal person. But internally, Li Xiandao was shocked.
The old priest actually broke through to Celestial King Realm!
This was what shocked Li Xiandao the most.
At the start, he didn't believe it. After confirming it several times, he was sure of the old priest's strength.
This was the first person under him to break through to Celestial King Realm. This was a joyous matter.
Li Xiandao was the only one in charge of the Bank of the Universe and couldn't compare to the other factions. But now, the Bank of the Universe had a new Celestial King and he was also a candidate for the Time Dao.
To the Bank of the Universe and Li Xiandao, this was a huge increase in his strength.
The old priest looked at Li Xiandao and bowed, "Greetings, Master."
Li Xiandao praised, "Your strength is the same as mine now."
The old priest shook his head, "I know my own strength. Master is really strong and you can even beat 10 of me."
Li Xiandao smiled and asked, "You also love to suck up now."
"That's not the case. Everyone can see how strong Master is and I also know that." The old priest smiled and said.
"There is no need to praise me. Can you tell me how you broke through to Celestial King?" Li Xiandao asked.
The others struggled bitterly and found it hard to break free, but the old priest suddenly broke through to Celestial King.
This comparison was simply tragic.
"I used 500,000 years to break through to the Celestial King Realm." The old priest said solemnly.
"500,000 years?" Li Xiandao looked at him in shock.
"Tell me about it. I am really interested in your experiences." Li Xiandao told the old priest to sit down and his eyes lit up.
After the old priest obtained the Universe Clock, he disappeared and Li Xiandao couldn't find him. He used the Bank of the Universe's ability and still couldn't find him. One had to say that it was a miracle.
After all, there weren't many places that could escape the Bank of the Universe's surveillance.
This was why Li Xiandao was really curious.
"After I obtained the Universe Clock, I followed the directions to the time wormhole. In the time wormhole, I spent 500,000 years to build the foundations of time." The old priest said.
The time wormhole was a mysterious existence in the known universe, be it the Nine Skies or Ten Lands or Celestial World.
Legend had it that the source of time was in the time wormhole. Of course, this was just a legend.
"You learned everything about time in the time wormhole?" Li Xiandao asked curiously.
"Right, 500,000 years and I learned all the foundations. Be it the progress of time or the paradox of time, my progress is far from that of others. But I was able to comprehend in peace and was really happy." The old priest exclaimed.
"You said that there were others?" Li Xiandao's brow rose up and he looked at the old priest with a weird expression.
"Time chose many people and I was just one of the lucky ones to get the Universe Clock. There were others who got other treasures and entered the time wormhole to comprehend with me." The old priest nodded.
Li Xiandao asked curiously, "What about them?"
"They all left. Each of them comprehended some secrets of time to raise their own strength. They are all at Celestial King Realm and I am still at the bottom." The old priest said regretfully.
"Is it because you comprehended all the basic laws of time?" Li Xiandao asked.
"Right, the difference between them and me is like climbing a mountain. They choose a direction and just climb up. They don't care about anything else." The old priest gave an example.
"I am different. My goal isn't to climb but to comprehend the entire mountain to improve myself. So, even if it is just the basic laws, I have to understand them all. So, I didn't climb the mountain and just walked quietly at the bottom. I measured every inch of the mountain and slowly climbed up. In the end, I used 500,000 years to understand a quarter of the mountain. "The old priest explained his goal.
Li Xiandao listened on quietly.
He roughly knew that this was a test created by the laws of time. They wanted everyone to climb together and only choose when they reached the peak.
The old priest missed such a chance.
But Li Xiandao didn't criticize him. Instead, he consoled him, "Everyone has their own fate. You chose this and persevered for 500,000 years. This means that it is the right choice for you. Moreover, you also broke through to Celestial King Realm. Not bad, not bad."
"But I think I missed the choice of the laws of time." The old priest was a little dejected.
"That might not be the case. What if the laws of time feel that you are an honest person and choose you?" Li Xiandao's eyes rolled and he consoled.
The old priest shook his head, "I am at the bottom. If Master was in my shoes, would he choose to be at the bottom?"
Li Xiandao said seriously, "Didn't I choose you?"
"You have to believe in yourself. Although you are at the bottom, you have a strong foundation. How many people have you killed since you started cultivating?" Li Xiandao asked.
"I don't remember." The old priest thought about it but he still couldn't remember.
"Right, you are the type that has accumulated a lot. Moreover, if the laws of time don't choose you, you can still serve me." Li Xiandao smiled.
"Right, I will serve Master." The old priest was in a much better mood.
Master was his savior and it wasn't a pity that he didn't have the laws of time.
"Coincidentally, you are back and your cultivation has risen to Celestial King Realm. I have a guest that is a little problematic. Go deal with it. If you can't deal with it, then inform me." Li Xiandao immediately arranged things for the old priest.
"What is it?" The old priest asked curiously.
"A guest called Heavenly Concubine …" Li Xiandao told the old priest about it.
