Xie Tian didn't know that …
Just as he was trying to fulfill the Dark Blade's wish, he began to wonder if he could carve his sixth stele. The sixth stele had emerged from the Dao Pond on its own.
He didn't know that the appearance of the stele had not only attracted the phantom of the River of Time, but had also shocked the Martial Emperors in the surroundings.
Of course, he also didn't know why all of this had happened.
Everything just happened in such a baffling manner.
However, it wasn't right to say that he hadn't noticed the appearance of the sixth stele.
"It must be because my cultivation path, or even everything about me, has been affected by the Time Slope …"
He would never forget the feeling he had when he had first entered the Time Slope.
During that period of his life, the meaning of his existence had become a journey in pursuit of the smallest unit of time.
Everything about him had been integrated into this journey.
It could even be said that he was the physical embodiment of the endless chaotic power of time on the Time Slope.
Of course, this was a comprehensive explanation from a macro perspective.
In terms of the substantial changes that had occurred to Xie Tian, or in terms of Emperor Hao's doubt as to why Xie Tian could control such power …
After experiencing this journey, Xie Tian naturally possessed the ability to control the strange power of time. However, because his level was too low and his comprehension of the Time Intent was too low, he didn't know about it.
After realizing this through his experience on the Time Slope, Xie Tian couldn't feel happy.
This was because the stele wasn't erected by him. Therefore, just like how it had appeared, Xie Tian couldn't move it. It could only move on its own.
Apart from this, what troubled Xie Tian even more was that the appearance of the stele meant that he had lost the opportunity to condense his own Time Stele.
Xie Tian felt that it was very appropriate to describe the Time Stele with only one word as occupying a latrine but not taking a shit.
After all, he was weaker than the Dark Blade. He couldn't understand the only word on the sixth stele at all.
"Oh no …"
He sighed. As his thoughts continued, he realized how illusory it was to solve this problem.
"The Time Slope …"
"According to what the five seniors said, it's where the River of Time eliminates all dissidents …"
"The Time Force in the Time Slope is the absolute opposite of the Time Will of the Nine Heavens Universe …"
"If I want to carve my own Time Essence on this tablet, unless …"
…
After some thought, Xie Tian could not help but rub the space between his eyebrows.
"Unless I have a deeper understanding of the Time Will of the Nine Heavens and can barely match it …"
Of course, this kind of matching did not mean that Xie Tian had to wait until he became a quasi-Emperor to be qualified. Instead, it was a gradual process.
Every time his comprehension of the Time Intent increased, his control over the sixth stele would also increase a little.
Not to mention how long this process would take …
Just how to start this process, or rather, what qualifications did he have to start this step-by-step process …
"I can only rely on the Passage of Time in the Three Thousand Words."
After much thought, Xie Tian felt that he could only rely on the Three Thousand Words that the Evil Emperor had comprehended himself to speed up his understanding of the Time Will of the Nine Heavens.
Although he had obtained the answer, it also made Xie Tian feel a heavy pressure that made it hard for him to breathe.
The appearance of this situation, at certain specific points in time, would cause his comprehension and usage of the Time Will to improve explosively …
But this was almost equivalent to cultivating two Time Wills at the same time!
Moreover, to cause a qualitative change, he would need to comprehend both Time Wills to an unimaginable degree!
For a moment, he actually felt that this path might not be as easy as his own path of body refinement.
"I'm really speechless …"
Feeling somewhat speechless, Xie Tian subconsciously looked at his Dao Pond and fell into deep thought.
The Dao Pond was formed from the Divine Palace.
Therefore, he understood that the power that had suddenly appeared and snatched away his right to condense the Time Stele had always existed in the Divine Palace.
"And the reason why my Divine Palace can contain this Time Force that doesn't merge with the Nine Heavens …"
Naturally, Xie Tian thought of the aura of hope that he had comprehended through the Seed Demon, which was also known as the aura of nothingness.
"I really hope that one day, I'll be able to use this Time Force of yours … Hmm?"
Before he could finish muttering …
Xie Tian noticed the abnormality and turned his gaze to the Battle Saint Fairy Saber in his hand.
The Battle Saint Fairy Saber was Lu Ya's saber. It was also an extremely ordinary saber, unlike the incomparably noble golden saber shown in the Imperial Slaying Scroll.
However, at this moment, the seemingly ordinary saber that could actually kill a Great Emperor was faintly showing a crack that was about to take shape!
Seeing this, Xie Tian subconsciously wanted to let go of the Battle Saint Fairy Saber. He did not want to destroy the foundation of the Lu Family just to condense a few Dao Breaking Stage Steles.
However, in the next instant, he discovered something even more bizarre and could not help but be dumbfounded!
"This saber is actually devouring my Time Force?"
This was the reason why the Battle Saint Fairy Saber was on the verge of breaking!
"Strange, I've never seen this saber so sneaky … Hmm?"
Xie Tian, who did not know whether to laugh or cry at how wretched the Battle Saint Fairy Saber was, immediately froze.
"It's … it's evil …"
"It's me, Xie Tian. Help me, this power is very important to me!"
He had been friends with the Dark Blade for hundreds of years!
This was the first time Xie Tian heard the Dark Blade's request. He did not even think about it. Instead, a strong desire that was comparable to the desire to resurrect Shen Shao emerged in his heart!
"I'll help you!"
He did not even think about how he could help!
It was just the strong desire in his heart!
Buzz …
The Battle Saint Fairy Saber trembled!
This trembling was not a sign that it was finally breaking …
Instead, it was the sound of the Time Force that he and the Dark Blade could not refine no matter how hard they devoured it!
At this instant …
An immeasurable amount of the Time Force entered the dual sabers, and then …
Bam!
Xie Tian felt a huge force in his hand, and the Battle Saint Fairy Saber was knocked flying by this huge force!
Halfway through its flight, two extremely familiar blades flew out from the Battle Saint Fairy Saber and stabbed into the ground behind the sixth tablet.
"Dark Blade, Dark Blade …"
"I'm fine, I just need to go into seclusion for a while. Thank you, Xie Tian …"
The nervous Xie Tian heaved a sigh of relief as the Dark Blade's voice faded away.
He looked at the six additional Dao tablets in his dao pond …
Then, he looked at the dim and lusterless Battle Saint Fairy Saber …
"It's finally done …"
Being able to help the Dark Blade at the last moment gave Xie Tian a sense of satisfaction, as if he had finally made a complete breakthrough in his cultivation base.
With this sense of satisfaction, he picked up the Battle Saint Fairy Saber and stored the Dao Pond into his body. He looked toward the Kingdom of the Nine States before descending toward the courtyard below him.
Right at this moment …
Neither Xie Tian nor the Dark Blade, who was in seclusion, were able to see it …
In the center of the dao pond several thousand feet away from him, a blade of grass that he had never seen before was slowly breaking through the soil.
The soil was a little hard.
The grass was a little stubborn.
In the end …
The stubbornness won over the hardness. A delicate and tender leaf swayed in the wind near the surface of the dao pond as it surveyed this extremely unfamiliar yet hopeful world.
