Looking at the river that flowed like time, Shi Xuan nodded slightly. There was a 50% chance that it was the Arbiter of Fate's residence. In addition, it was built in a hurry, and the restrictive power was concentrated on the barrier of the cave. It was mainly for concealment rather than defense, so he could basically confirm it.
The flow of time in the entire cave was very slow. Not only did it exceed the lowest flow of time between a normal Minor Chiliocosm and a Major Chiliocosm, but it almost reached the limit of the four-tribulation Lord Of Heaven. Therefore, except for the river of time, everything around was still evolving in the chaos.
The power that kept the flow of time so slow should have gradually dissipated with the death of the Arbiter of Fate, so that the flow of time would return to a normal range. However, the remaining power combined and operated in a wonderful way, in a delicate balance. Without the interference of external forces, it could be maintained for a very long time.
"Time produces fate, and fate slows down time. It's somewhat mysterious like Tai Chi. This Arbiter of Fate is indeed extraordinary." With the entrance of Shi Xuan, this delicate balance was broken. Fate returned to nothingness, time gradually returned to normal, chaos began to evolve, and some mysterious things were produced.
While comprehending the delicate balance that was beginning to break, Shi Xuan scanned with his immortal senses, preparing to see what was left by the river.
As soon as his immortal senses reached, Shi Xuan suddenly found that everything around him had turned into nothingness. Then, his primordial spirit became stagnant for a moment without warning!
It was dark and deep, without a trace of light.
And in the deepest and heaviest darkness, a long river emerged, right in front of Shi Xuan.
The clear water of the long river reflected Shi Xuan's figure.
The river seemed to be rolling forward, but it also seemed to be flowing backward leisurely. Beside Shi Xuan's figure, two more figures appeared.
One was very blurry, almost black, but the other was quite clear. He was wearing a green robe and had the cultivation of the Out of Body Realm. The Wanxiang Shadowless Sword circled around him, killing the fire bird. As he killed, he looked back in shock. It was Shi Xuan himself!
The first time he entered Penglai, the Flame God Mountain!
This long river seemed to be tracing back all the past of Shi Xuan's life!
This figure produced a slight ripple, as if it was about to shatter.
He only had the strength of the Out of Body Realm, so he could not discover it at all, nor could he resist this shattering!
If the past Shi Xuan died, the present Shi Xuan would not exist!
At this moment, an all-encompassing golden bridge appeared in the void, as if it could suppress everything, past, present, and future!
The ripple on the figure suddenly froze, and the flow of time stopped.
The five layers of spiritual restrictions were completed, and the final layer of illusory restrictions was perfected. It finally revealed the profundities of the Grand Dao of Taichi with Yin and Yang as its foundation and morality as its intent. Even if it was a peak ninth-rank immortal technique that had obtained the true intent of the Grand Dao, so long as it hadn't attained the level of a supreme Divine Ability, it could completely suppress it!
Moreover, if it was only the first realm of the supreme magical power, it could suppress for a moment!
In the void, a dim white sword light with dazzling starlight shone. It was just a simple slash, but it had brought fate to an end, shattered time, and caused everything to dissipate!
Star. If one looked, one times, one, one, one, one, one, one one one one one, one one., one one one one., two.
However, if one were to observe carefully, they would discover that the river seemed to have lost the sense of flowing time!
Shi Shuan shook his head with a smile and said, "It's an Immortal Skill left by a Four-tribulation Lord of Heaven. Even if it's sealed by time and only a little power is lost, how can it do anything to a Lord of Heaven of the same level?"
The "same level" referred to the peak of the fourth tribulation. If it was an ordinary fourth tribulation Lord of Heaven, unless he had a natal spiritual treasure similar to the Tai Chi Painting or a fourth tribulation supreme spiritual treasure, it would be difficult for him to survive. The attack that traced back the past and changed fate to kill the enemy was too mysterious and strange. It was the extreme combination of the Great Way of Time and Fate.
"Same level" referred to the fourth tribulation peak. If it was an ordinary fourth tribulation Lord Of Heaven, unless he had a Natal Spiritual Treasure or a fourth tribulation Supreme Spiritual Treasure like the Tai Chi Diagram, it would be difficult for him to survive. An attack that could trace back the past and change fate to kill the enemy was too mysterious and strange. It was the ultimate combination of the Great Dao of Time and Fate.
Shi Xuan's Yin-Yang Chaotic Divine Light, which he had combined with the Origin of the Great Way of Yin and Yang and evolved according to the true meaning of the Great Way, was already at the top among the Four-tribulation Lords of Heaven. Even if he did not use the Yin-Yang Chaotic Divine Light, he could condense the swordsmanship of the Taiji Diagram and the Cosmic Stars Swordsmanship into one, together with the three flying swords that had been refined to the ninth level. Therefore, he could easily deal with this mysterious Immortal Skill.
Of course, it was also because Shi Xuan's Natal Spiritual Treasure, flying swords, and swordsmanship contained Gist of Truth. Otherwise, if it were any other fourth tribulation Lord Of Heaven, they would have lost a layer of skin.
After breaking the last protective measure left by the Ruling Fate Star Lord, Shi Xuan figured out the things left by the river. They were a scroll condensed by purple light and a thumb-sized bead that exuded the aura of time and fate.
As for the few other good and mysterious items, they seemed to have been produced after the opening of this grotto-heaven.
As the head of the Lord Of Heaven in the Heaven Realm, the Ruling Fate Star Lord had very few relics. But Shi Xuan could understand that as a fourth tribulation Lord Of Heaven, he had very few things on him. The only thing worth taking with him was the Immortal-killing Flying Saber. For example, the Picture of Heaven, Earth, Mountains and River, which Shi Xuan left in the sect. After all, if it wanted to pass the third tribulation, it would take a long time to nurture and develop a trace of spiritual intelligence.
As for the eighth and ninth grade secret treasures, Shi Xuan, as a Lord Of Heaven who was used as a chess piece by Daozu, had many adventures and even had a congenital spiritual object. But apart from the Tao Te Ching that he had refined, he had not obtained any secret treasures of this level. Although Shi Xuan did not care about these things and did not deliberately pursue them, he could see that they were rare.
And even if the Ruling Fate Star Lord had one or two, they would have been used up when he resisted the will of Daoist Lord. This also included the fourth tribulation heavenly spiritual treasure that he might have.
If he wanted to obtain most of the relics of the Ruling Fate Star Lord, he had to go to his cave residence in the Heaven Realm. The things that he had obtained over thousands of years of traveling would be placed there, just like how Shi Xuan had placed them in the Shangqing Shenxiao Realm. But that dignified cave had long been divided up.
"Actually, the most precious and most precious thing of the fourth tribulation Lord Of Heaven is his lifetime of cultivation, travel review and summary, as well as his cultivation method." Shi Xuan did not touch the book that was condensed from purple light. Instead, he directly used his immortal sense to look at it. It was the "Purple Palace Heavenly Tome of Three Lifetimes of Fate".
In just a few moments, Shi Xuan read through the cultivation method from beginning to end and imprinted it in his mind. "Other than the fact that it doesn't have a celestial art that can transcend realms, it can already be considered a supreme cultivation method. It's a pity that the Ruling Fate Star Lord did not seem to be able to condense his own experience in time, causing the origin of this cultivation method to be a mystery."
With the Ruling Fate Star Lord's cultivation, if he had listened to the Master of Creation's teachings for many years and had other opportunities and comprehensions, there was a very small chance that he would have created such a supreme cultivation method that was compatible with his own foundation. However, he had revealed this cultivation method in front of others since he was at the Golden Core realm, so he should have had another master.
Speaking of fate, Shi Xuan could not help but think of the Connate Numinous Treasure River Diagram. As the Daozu most skilled in divination, calculation, and deceiving the heavenly secrets, his ability in this aspect was not much inferior to the Master of Creation. He was the existence that had the highest possibility of not relying on other supreme cultivation methods as a reference and creating a supreme cultivation method in a relatively short period of time.
"However, the" Purple Palace Heavenly Tome of Three Lifetimes of Fate "is very different from Shi Jingren's Minor Fate Art." Shi Xuan frowned slightly. "This" Three Lifetimes of Water Mirror "immortal art can be said to be unfathomable. It's as good as the Minor Fate Art."
After reading the "Purple Palace Heavenly Tome of Three Lifetimes of Fate", Shi Xuan had gained a lot. The two Connate Great Dao of Fate, Destruction and Fate, were mutually exclusive but also interconnected. Some of the profound and subtle parts gave Shi Xuan a refreshing and ear-splitting feeling. For example, in some parts, if the nomological laws of the Great Dao of Fate and the Dao Seed characters were transformed into the Great Dao of Destruction and then combined them, it seemed that there would be other mysteries.
However, Shi Xuan did not have the time to infer or analyze this aspect. This was because the explosion of the "Three Lifetimes of Water Mirror" immortal art had caused some changes in the Grotto-heaven. Its aura was exposed, and it would not be long before it attracted people from the Immortal World or even the Heavenly Realm.
The thumb-sized bead flew into Shi Xuan's palm. With a sweep of his immortal senses, Shi Xuan knew what it was. It was something similar to a Buddhist Sarira. It was an item condensed from the Ruling Fate Star Lord's own fate and time aura. Often comprehending it would be helpful in cultivating the "Purple Palace Heavenly Tome of Three Lifetimes of Fate". However, such items usually did not have any offensive or defensive functions.
Of course, there might be other magical uses at times.
"I entered this Grotto-heaven through your fortuitous encounters. Therefore, I'm only borrowing the" Heavenly Tome "for a look. I'm not taking it away. It's the same for other items. However, if not for me, I'm afraid no one would have survived the Three Lifetimes of Water Mirror. Therefore, I'll take this bead with me." Shi Xuan chuckled as he kept the bead. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized that there were a few words hidden in the river.
After a sweep of his immortal senses, Shi Xuan frowned. "There's something wrong with the Daluo Heaven …"
Everyone knew that there was something wrong with the Daluo Heaven in the Big Dipper World. There was no need for the Ruling Fate Star Lord to emphasize it. Puzzled, Shi Xuan waved his sleeve and let the river water wash away the four words. Then, he left the Grotto-heaven and activated the aura of the Grotto-heaven. He wanted to attract more Zhenrens in before the people from the Heavenly Realm arrived. He wanted to destroy the Grotto-heaven as much as possible and not leave any clues for the people from the Heavenly Realm.
…
Outside the Grotto-heaven, the Yan Emperor and Zhong Limei were still trying to open the restriction at the entrance. Suddenly, the Grotto-heaven exploded with dazzling starlight, turning the surroundings into a sea of starlight. The restriction became weak.
The Yan Emperor and Zhong Limei were stunned. They thought that they had triggered some restriction or mechanism, so they tried to break the restriction by force.
However, not long after, a few beams of flowing light flew over. Five or six Zhenrens appeared. There were both men and women, and they were close to each other. They were the Zhenrens from the nearby sects who had sensed the aura and rushed over.
The Yan Emperor and Zhong Limei saw that there were so many of them. Although they were confident in their abilities, they were still nervous.
After a few breaths, another flowing light flew over and transformed into a handsome man who was dressed strangely. He was neither Taoist nor Buddhist, but he was young and had long white hair.
He scanned the area with his primordial spirit and saw that the Yan Emperor and Zhong Limei were alone. He smiled and walked over. "Greetings, elders. Why don't we work together?"
The Yan Emperor and Zhong Limei looked at each other. "Sure, but we have to make a karmic oath."
After the three of them made the karmic oath, they faced the five or six Zhenrens from afar and made use of time to break the restriction.
Seeing that the restriction was getting weaker, but there were more Zhenrens arriving, Zhong Limei said to the Yan Emperor and the white-haired man, "Looks like we have to work together with our friends."
The two of them nodded in agreement. Zhong Limei looked around and saw a green-robed man alone. He invited him.
The man had an ordinary face and an indifferent expression. "Sure, that's what I was thinking."
The restriction was hit by countless beams of light and shattered with a crack, turning into specks of starlight. The Zhenrens were just waiting for the destruction to subside before they rushed in.
At this moment, a middle-aged Daoist priest riding on a black tiger flew over from afar. He saw that the Yan Emperor's side had fewer people and hurriedly shouted, "Friend, please wait."
On this day, something strange seemed to have happened in the grotto-heaven, causing a bloodbath. All the Zhenrens who had entered the grotto-heaven had died. Of course, there were rumors that one of the Zhenrens had managed to escape, obtained all the benefits, and escaped to a faraway place.
