Many experts sat there quietly. Even for those hegemonic-level world overlords of the older generations, they were all seriously staring at the Time Monument Inscription. They did know of Jian Junlai's story and also some rumors about the Time King. The first hegemon of the Mystic Region, the Time King, was a character that could shake the heavens and earth.
Back then, the Time King of the Mystic Region caused the hegemons of the eight regions to feel trepidation.
If this Time Monument Inscription truly had a connection with the Time King, the Sword Monarch must have comprehended some sort of energy from it, causing his name to shake the world.
Qin Wentian quietly comprehended, he could sense that the Time Monument Inscriptions contained a great dao. There seemed to be an indescribable energy that was as hard to fathom as the mysteries of the heavens. It was extremely blurry and indistinct. All four sides of the Time Monument Inscriptions were the same. Naturally, Qin Wentian also understood that if the Time Monument Inscriptions were so easy to comprehend, Old Ghost wouldn't be so solemn and would even intentionally introduce the legend of the Sword Monarch Jian Junlai to them.
More and more people gathered here. On the ancient mountain, experts were as common as the clouds but it was exceptionally quiet. Everyone was silently comprehending.
Luoshen Lei also came. When she saw Qin Wentian, she walked to a spot not far away from Qin Wentian and sat down. After that, she also started to comprehend the Time Monument Inscription.
The Convention of the Myriad Realms was a peak-level event in the Mystic Region. Even in the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, it was extremely famous. She crossed realms to come here and since she coincidentally came here, she naturally had to take this opportunity to comprehend it.
Time flowed by unknowingly.
In Qin Wentian's comprehension, the Time Monument Inscription was still blurry. However, it was much clearer compared to before. He could faintly sense the energy within the Time Monument Inscription, it was boundlessly wondrous. In fact, he even sensed that his consciousness had already entered the Time Monument Inscription. Within it, he felt like he was in an illusory world. This place was a world of the Great Dao. Boundless runic light weaved together to form the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, incomparably profound.
"What dao is this?" In the illusory space, Qin Wentian's consciousness was roaming about. He had no way to comprehend what sort of energy was this exactly. The World of Ten Thousand Laws contained a myriad of laws but he had never felt such energy before.
Could it be that this was the illusory time?
If it really was the Dao of Time, how could he grasp it?
After comprehending for a very long time, Qin Wentian still didn't gain anything from the Time Monument Inscription. He could only withdraw his consciousness. He opened his eyes and stared at the surroundings. Right now, a few years have already passed but everyone was still extremely quiet. It was like the time when he first came here. A few years to world overlords was simply too short, it was just like the time when he first came here.
Naturally, there were also some ordinary world overlords who didn't gain anything. Hence, they didn't have the heart to comprehend and could only sigh silently.
Qin Wentian glanced at the second stone monument. He discovered that he had no way to enter this stone monument, even his will couldn't enter. It was like the void, as though there was an invisible gate blocking everything. He could only give up and look at the other stone monument.
This time around, things weren't the same as before. As he tried to comprehend, his consciousness entered it. It was still a chaotic void, mysterious and unfathomable. However, when Qin Wentian compared the feeling he got from the two stone tablets, he suddenly felt that something was different. Hence, he tried to unleash his own energy here but he discovered that there was nothing. He still couldn't comprehend the crux of it.
He withdrew once again and attempted to comprehend the final stone tablet. He also entered it but after that, he felt that it was extremely quiet inside. It was like there was nothing there and he still didn't gain anything.
On the ancient mountain, Qin Wentian opened his eyes and sighed silently as he stared at the revolving Time Monument Inscription.
"Brother Qin, you can't comprehend it?" Ten Miles Springwind coincidentally glanced at him as he asked.
"Mysteriousness, there seems to be some sort of miraculous energy but I can't grasp it at all." Qin Wentian shook his head and sighed.
"Haha, if it's so easy to comprehend, I wouldn't have become a Sword Monarch." Ten Miles Springwind laughed. "Don't be anxious. Although I haven't comprehended anything now, since I'm someone who wants to become a Sword Monarch, I naturally have to endure loneliness. I will continue to comprehend it."
Qin Wentian had a face filled with black lines. However, he was already used to Ten Miles Springwind's shamelessness.
"How do you guys feel?" In a certain direction on the ancient mountain, the people from a major power were currently conversing.
"Unfathomable." One of them spoke in a low voice.
"My consciousness entered the Time Monument Inscription but I can't sense the existence of any energy. Could it be the power of time?" Someone spoke in a low voice.
"It's very possible. Time is formless. In the Time Realm we are in, the flow of time is different. But who can sense it?"
"That's true. Time is a relative concept. It's formless and it's an extremely mysterious dao."
"Time is formless." Qin Wentian mumbled. The formless dao was naturally unfathomable. Hence, although he felt that it was boundlessly wondrous, he had no way to describe what was so wondrous about it.
"Elder brother, do you have any insights?" A voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind. This was naturally Luoshen Lei's voice. Only she would address Qin Wentian like this. Bai Qing referred to him as Wentian gege.
"My consciousness entered three sides of the Time Monument Inscription. Two of them seem to be flowing with a wondrous energy, one of them is incomparably quiet and I have no way to see through the last one." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice.
"It's so powerful. I've only entered two sides." Luoshen Lei smiled as she transmitted her voice over. "Elder brother, the first-generation overlord of the Mystic Region is the Godking of Time. The Time Realm was also established by the Godking of Time who has the title of the Time King. If these four sides of the Time Monument Inscription have something to do with the Godking of Time, you can consider it from the perspective of time. I've read through the ancient records in my clan before, the Godking of Time has the ability to penetrate through the heavens and earth. However, the most basic aspect of the dao of time is to change the flow of time. World overlords would also be able to do that.
This might be a direction. "Qin Wentian nodded in agreement. Luoshen Lei's words were very logical. She, who was born in the Luoshen Clan of the Desolate Region, naturally had knowledge and experience that ordinary world overlords couldn't compare to.
"Let me carefully sense the three sides of the Time Monument Inscription again." Qin Wentian spoke in a light voice.
"Mhm." Luoshen Lei replied. Actually, there was still something she didn't say. She also knew about the elementary form of the dao of time but she didn't tell Qin Wentian. Because, only by comprehending it yourself, would it truly belong to you and you would have a chance to obtain good fortune.
Qin Wentian's consciousness entered the Time Monument Inscription again. This time around, he was prepared to temporarily give up on the Time Monument Inscription that he couldn't enter. He would treat that Time Monument Inscription as the last one and focus on the other three sides first.
He tried again and again, sending his consciousness into different Time Monument Inscriptions. In the end, he relied on the power of the Undying Scripture. His soul force carried his consciousness and entered the three sides of the Time Monument Inscription at the same time. For a period of time, that strange feeling grew clearer and clearer. Gradually, he could see traces of it and when he compared it to the other three sides, it wasn't formless.
Qin Wentian attempted to use his consciousness to unleash his attacks in the Time Monument Inscription, slashing out sword light. The might of the sword light in the three sides of the Time Monument Inscription were all the same. The speed was also the same. He couldn't sense any difference at all.
"Time is relative." Qin Wentian mumbled. Even if the flow of time changed, for example in the Time Realm, there wouldn't be any difference if he attacked in the outside world. Because, the flow of time in this entire space was the same.
"In that case, if I want to make it different, I can only do it in a different flow of time." A thought appeared in Qin Wentian's mind. He closed his eyes and stood up. With a wave of his hand, he directly slashed out a sword at the air. Many people turned their gazes to Qin Wentian. This sword strike was simple and unadorned, there was nothing special about it. This caused many people to have bewildered looks on their faces. This sword strike was too ordinary, there was nothing special about it. Why was there a need to slash it out?
But in truth, Qin Wentian was currently using his powerful state of heart to deduce it. When he slashed out with this sword, a sword appeared in each of the three sides of the Time Monument Inscription. This was an external sword strike.
Hence, a strange scene appeared. The sword in the first side of the Time Monument Inscription suddenly sped up. The sword in the second side of the Time Monument Inscription slowed down. As for the sword in the third side of the Time Monument Inscription, it directly stopped.
"As expected." Qin Wentian's heart trembled. The flow of time was truly different. It was just that because time was relative, one wouldn't be able to sense it without a reference.
The first side of the Time Monument Inscription sped up the flow of time. The second side of the Time Monument Inscription slowed down the flow of time. As for the third side of the Time Monument Inscription, it stopped the flow of time. No wonder it was so quiet.
"If that's the case, the dao of time has three states. Speed up, slow down, and stop." Qin Wentian mumbled. Was this the true meaning that the three sides of the Time Monument Inscription wanted to transmit?
In that case, what about the last side of the Time Monument Inscription?
Although he could sense that the flow of time in the three sides of the Time Monument Inscription was different, he didn't have an astral soul and it was impossible for him to comprehend the power of time. He lacked attribute energy and had no way to truly change the flow of time.
His will flowed towards the fourth side of the Time Monument Inscription. At this instant, the fourth side of the Time Monument Inscription didn't obstruct his will from entering. The four sides of the Time Monument Inscription radiated a resplendent light that shone onto Qin Wentian. At this instant, Qin Wentian felt an incomparably terrifying energy. This energy even caused him to feel fear. It was as though he was shuttling through the river of time.
At this instant, time seemed to change. When that feeling vanished, everything seemed to have changed. In this space, there were countless majestic ancient palaces, like a flourishing world.
"Where is this place?" Qin Wentian stared at this foreign scene as his heart pounded unceasingly. That energy was too heaven-defying, so heaven-defying to the point that he couldn't imagine it. It was like it shouldn't exist in this world.
"This is the past." An ethereal voice drifted over. Qin Wentian's heart pounded violently.
This is the past.
"Do you know what the past is?" That voice drifted over again.
"The ultimate dao of time, transcending the river of time, reversing the flow of time and returning to the past?" Qin Wentian mumbled. What was the past? Only transcendence.
