Lan Xihe had not been in the mood to cultivate for a long time now.
She knew that many cultivators in the Great Void had gone to the unknown lands. Whether it was the Silver Guards or the Dark Guards, when they were deployed, it usually meant that the imbalance in power had reached an uncontrollable stage.
She asked around but made no progress. The Temple Master did not seem to care about worldly affairs, and Mister Ouyang did not have any important news as well.
"What happened to the Apocalypse Pillar?" Lan Xihe muttered to herself.
…
Time flew by, and time flowed by.
Above Executor Xu Tianqi, one ferocious beast after another streaked past.
Inside the Ancient Time Formation.
Lu Zhou heard a crisp sound.
It did not seem like much time had passed, but it felt like a lifetime had passed.
He glanced at the Life Palace hovering before him.
The Life Palace was still open. It was not complete.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
"The timing isn't right."
He could clearly sense that there was something wrong with the timing.
Lu Zhou opened the dashboard and saw that his life was still in a fixed state. There were no changes.
“？？？”
'Time has returned to normal?'
Lu Zhou stared at the numbers on the dashboard.
Two hours had passed, and there were no changes. This meant that the Ancient Time Formation had changed again.
He stood up and looked at the Birth Chart Heart that was almost fully embedded in his Life Palace. The pain was almost negligible.
He compressed it into a miniature form and hid it in his sleeve.
With a flash, he rose into the air.
He spread his arms slightly. The wind seemed to have stopped.
The mist seemed to have stopped as well.
Xu Tianqi and the huge beasts circling in the air were like a life-like oil painting. They were frozen before his eyes and did not move at all.
Lu Zhou did not understand.
He continued flying upward.
When he reached a certain height, hum — he heard a distinct resonance of energy.
"The Formation barrier."
Lu Zhou pushed with his palm.
The palm seal seemed to have entered the void and disappeared.
Lu Zhou continued flying upward. Although he was flying quickly, he could not close the distance between him and the beasts.
Something was not right.
Lu Zhou returned to the forest with his grand technique. His surroundings were normal. Occasionally, small animals would fly past him at lightning speed.
"What's wrong?"
He looked up at the skies.
The huge beasts' wings finally moved slightly. They seemed to have stiffened as they moved extremely slowly.
“？”
He stared at the giant beast. After a long time, the wings of the giant beast moved downwards. After a long time, the wings moved upwards.
"Time has slowed down?"
Lu Zhou understood now.
In order to confirm this idea.
Lu Zhou sat down with his legs crossed. He opened the dashboard and looked at the remaining numbers: 17259929 (47287)
Twenty-one Life Providences increased his lifespan by ten thousand years. However, the Ancient Time Formation took away a hundred years of their lifespan.
What would happen if the Ancient Time Formation slowed down time?
The next day, Lu Zhou looked at the numbers again. There were no changes.
"Time has indeed slowed down."
Lu Zhou closed the dashboard.
Meng Changdong and Zhao Hongfu rushed over from afar and greeted, "Pavilion Master."
"Speak."
"The Ancient Time Formation has changed. Time has slowed down," Meng Changdong said.
Lu Zhou nodded and asked, "How's everyone doing?"
"Everything is normal except for the timing. I'm afraid it might affect our training," Meng Changdong said.
"Have you found a way to break the Formation?" Lu Zhou asked.
Zhao Hongfu shook her head. "The ancient formation covers every corner. Please forgive this subordinate's incompetence."
"It's not your fault."
Lu Zhou observed the changes in brightness around him before he brought out the Golden Taixu Mirror.
It was infused with the power of heaven as it swept out in all directions.
The runes on the plants shifted their direction.
It was clear that the structure of the Ancient Formation had changed.
Lu Zhou struck a nearby tree with a palm seal. The palm seal struck the runes and vanished into thin air. There were no other movements.
When Meng Changdong and Zhao Hongfu saw the pavilion master's helplessness, they were worried that they would be trapped here forever.
"What do we do now?"
"Send word. Since time has been slowed down, use it to stabilize your cultivation base. I'll break the Formation. "
"Understood."
When they looked up again, Lu Zhou was already gone.
…
Lu Zhou flew in the Ancient Formation on Whitzard's back. He kept advancing in a certain direction.
In about two hours, he would return to his original position.
Ancient trees stood tall in the vast skies. A thin mist shrouded the surroundings, making everything look extremely mysterious.
It would be easier if it was just time. All they had to do was walk out of this place. However, they were currently trapped in this space as well.
"Which almighty being set up this Grand Formation?"
The more Lu Zhou walked, the more surprised he became.
When he returned to his original position, he did not continue moving. Instead, he pushed away from the ground and shot up into the sky.
The space seemed to be misaligned as it stretched and stretched.
Lu Zhou summoned the Golden Taixu Mirror.
Whizz!
The golden mirror was like a sun that shone brightly in the sky.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion flew up and looked at the sky.
"Pavilion Master?"
"Master?"
They did not know what the pavilion master was doing. An expression of shock appeared on their faces.
They saw golden and blue Formations in the sky, on the ground, on the plants, and on the ground. It was as though they had entered a transparent, glorious building made of two colors.
Runes spun everywhere.
It was a dazzling sight to behold.
"This …" The others were shocked.
At this moment, Lu Zhou tossed the Golden Taixu Mirror into the air.
He joined his palms together and chanted the Infinite Deduction technique.
With the Infinite Deduction technique, he could see the unknowns and reveal the unknowns. The changes of the laws were known to all beings in the Sea of Slaughter's dust.
Lu Zhou seemed to see countless paths before him.
Countless figures shot out in all directions, leaving afterimages in their wake.
Some of them returned to their original positions, some appeared in another corner, and some died on the spot.
Lu Zhou continued to derive the technique and reveal the method to break the Formation.
Due to the excessive use of the heavenly power, his body seemed to be enveloped by a blue electric arc as he hovered proudly in the air.
At the back of the crowd.
The bearded Jiang Dongshan's eyes widened. He looked at the sky in shock. "Is that really you?"
He gulped.
He instinctively took a step back.
Lu Zhou opened his eyes. The Clear Heavenly Eyes!
His blue eyes shone.
Jiang Dongshan retreated again. Thud! He crashed into an ancient tree, and the leaves fell.
Then, he retreated until he was next to Mingshi Yin.
"You seem nervous," Mingshi Yin said.
Jiang Dongshan was startled. He shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I'm just surprised."
"Time has been slowed down. Don't you think it's sudden?"
"It is … What? Time has been slowed down? "Jiang Dongshan looked up.
In the sky, the huge beast was still flapping its wings. However, its movements were extremely slow as though it was frozen in time.
"Look at that stupid bird. I'm afraid it won't be able to fly out of Xu Tianqi in 100 years. If someone sees us from outside the Formation, they'll think we're turtles, "Mingshi Yin said.
"Uh … Mister Fourth, that's a rather unique analogy," Jiang Dongshan said awkwardly.
Buzz!
Lu Zhou's golden avatar appeared.
The 2,350-foot avatar was connected with the heavenly power. It towered in the sky as though it was overlapping with Xu Tianqi.
They saw a halo on the avatar's astrolabe.
The faint halo was dazzling and eye-catching!
Qin Naihe exclaimed in shock, "The pavilion master has become a Saint?"
"What's a Saint?"
"The halo on the astrolabe is a sign of becoming a Saint. This avatar is at least 2,300 feet tall. I don't think it's fully displayed," Qin Naihe said.
Jiang Dongshan furrowed his brows.
The golden avatar turned around. A golden belt of light appeared and fell into the forest.
The Golden Taixu Mirror's light swept past the belt of light.
Meng Changdong saw the runic seals forming a path in the Formation. He exclaimed excitedly, "It's the exit!"
"The exit?"
"So, you're looking for the exit, Pavilion Master!" Meng Changdong said.
Zhao Hongfu was shocked and puzzled. "Indeed, it's the exit. How did you do it?"
Jiang Dongshan said, "How's that possible?"
Swoosh!
The avatar vanished.
Lu Zhou put the golden mirror away and descended.
The others stepped forward and greeted him, "Pavilion Master!"
Lu Zhou stood with his hands on his back and said, "I've found the exit of the Formation. However, it's not a good time to go out now. "
"Why?" Little Yuan 'er asked.
Lu Zhou looked at Little Yuan 'er and said, "The Silver and Dark Armored Guards have appeared. There's a Saint Beast as well."
He pointed at the Saint Beast that had yet to fly out.
"A Saint Beast?"
The others looked at Kong Wen.
Kong Wen was well-versed in the beast encyclopedia. He stroked his chin and studied the beast for a while before he said, "I don't recognize this beast, but its characteristics and light show that it's a Saint Beast."
With a Saint Beast guarding them, it would be dangerous to go out.
Lu Zhou said calmly, "Slowing down time is a good thing as well."
His gaze swept across everyone present.
Everyone was puzzled, not knowing what the Pavilion Master meant by that.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said, "We'll decide after the Holy Beast leaves. Now — "
He raised his palm.
The Violet Glazed Glass floated in the air.
It spun rapidly.
"First, pass the Life Gate."
Squeak —
Everyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion was frozen, except for Jiang Dongshan and Qin Naihe who were Perfected Persons.
Before this, Lu Zhou had already noticed that their strength had reached a bottleneck. Now that he wasn't in the Green Lotus Sect, he couldn't use the Heaven Hooking Cableway, so he could only freeze everyone manually.
Only by passing the Fate Gate would the bottleneck be broken.
It just so happened that he could make use of the Time Deceleration characteristic and advance step by step.
"Stand guard," Lu Zhou ordered.
"Yes," Qin Naihe said.
Jiang Dongshan nodded. "Senior, don't worry. I promise to protect them."
Lu Zhou's figure flickered and vanished.
He appeared at the end of the belt of light.
Although the Boundless Deduction Divine Art had deduced a way to break it.
However, he did not think it was safe until he tried it himself.
If he took another step forward, time would return to normal. However, there was a problem; his time and that of the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion would be greatly out of sync.
If he went out and returned, there was a chance that everyone would have died of old age in the Ancient Time Formation.
Lu Zhou did not go out.
Instead, he stopped where he was.
He leaned against a small sapling and slowly sat down with his legs crossed.
He summoned his Life Palace and took out the Bright Bird's Birth Chart Heart.
It was said that cultivation was timeless, and time was like a festival. It did not matter if it was 100 years or 1,000 years.
He would have to walk this path sooner or later.
"23 Birth Charts …" Lu Zhou muttered to himself, "No matter how painful it is, it can't compare to the Life Gate."
He pushed his palm down and embedded the Birth Chart Heart into the earth-rank Great Glory Grid. The Birth Chart was right next to the Greedy Fire Grid. After opening this Birth Chart, he could seek the Fire Phoenix's Birth Chart Heart and open 24 Birth Charts. They complemented each other.
It was best if it was suitable. There was no need to seek a higher rank or a greater Birth Chart.
Crack!
The Birth Chart Heart entered his Life Palace.
Lu Zhou immediately chanted the Heavenly Writing power and meditated.
…
Outside the Ancient Formation.
Around Xu Tianqi, 1,000 Silver-Armored Guards flew back and forth.
"Nothing!"
"Nothing here as well."
"There's an energy fluctuation in the direction of the Ancient Formation. I'm afraid there's a time distortion. We can't enter recklessly."
One of the Silver-Armored Guards flew toward the huge beast and stood on its wings. He looked down at the mountain and said, "Gather at Great Abyss."
"Understood!"
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The 1,000 Silver-Armored Guards and holy beasts left Xu Tianqi.
Not long after they left.
In the sky above the northern peak of Xu Tianqi's mountain, two beams of light intertwined as they flew toward Lu Zhou. When the lights merged, Lan Xihe appeared, standing against the wind.
The Sun and Moon Wheels revolved around her.
Her body glowed faintly.
Lan Xihe surveyed her surroundings.
She vanished from her spot and appeared on the cliff in just a blink of an eye.
His gaze fell on the marks left on the cliff.
Lan Xihe looked at the empty forest before her. "Pavilion Master Lu, since you're here, why don't you come out and meet me?"
Unfortunately, nobody answered her.
The mountain was silent, and the vines stretched as far as the eye could see. There was no one in sight.
Lan Xihe said, "Pavilion Master Lu, please come out and meet me."
His voice traveled far, far into the distance.
She looked in the direction of the Ancient Time Formation.
She looked at the plants and trees in the Ancient Formation.
A bird flew past in front of her. Shua, a ripple that only she could see appeared in the air, and then it disappeared. The bird had vanished into thin air just like that.
Lan Xihe frowned slightly. "Ancient Formation? Is it really not here? "
She stared at the Ancient Formation for a long time.
She was afraid that she would miss it. Hence, she waited on the cliff for three days.
Three days passed, and there was still no movement from Xu Tianqi. She could only sigh softly. "Such is fate."
Lan Xihe transformed into a ball of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Inside the Ancient Formation, Lu Zhou's senses were slightly strange.
He had lost all sense of time. His nerves were already numb.
Whenever it was about time, he would open his eyes and look at the sky and the direction of the exit.
He saw the Silver-Armored Guard flying slower than a tortoise as it leaped onto the Holy Beast.
He closed his eyes and opened them again. He saw the Silver-Armored Guard taking a long time to disappear from the sky.
He thought he could leave now. However, he saw Lan Xihe on the cliff.
Lan Xihe stood on the cliff like a statue. He did not know how long he had been staring at the Ancient Formation.
It might have been three days, three years, or 100 years.
Then, a loud rumble rang in the mountains and rivers. A crack that defied time, space, the birds, the beasts, the Heavenly Revelation Pillar, and all living beings stretched for hundreds of thousands of feet, rousing everything in the area!
Boom!
Lu Zhou opened his eyes. Lan Xihe was long gone.
Withered leaves littered his surroundings.
He did not know when the little sapling had grown into a towering tree.
A huge ravine split open a thousand feet in front of them.
Lu Zhou waved his sleeve.
His Life Palace was smooth and flat.
The ravine widened, showing signs of shaking the Ancient Formation.
The talisman seals swiftly shrank. The talisman seals shattered from the ravine and shot toward Lu Zhou!
Lu Zhou rose from the ground. He made a grabbing motion with his palm. The power of heaven's will erupted! A palm seal that could blot out the skies shot upward.
He grabbed the talisman seals that filled the skies.
"Everyone, gather."
