Chapter 723: Time is Unique

Chapter 723: Time is Unique

Looking at the world of light, in just a mere moment,

those elves went from birth to passing away.

Zhang Yuhe could not help but fall into deep thought.

Perhaps in the minds of the elves,

they had lived a long lifetime.

Yet, in Zhang Yuhe's observation, it was only an instant.

This seemed to fall into a peculiar paradox.

Zhang Yuhe did not simply believe

that the Life force of the elves was just that short.

This explanation simply did not make sense.

Because the Life of an elf was just as wonderful and brilliant.

If strung together into a timeline,

this line would not be short.

But why

was it so brief during his observation?

Zhang Yuhe thought of himself.

The Chaos Sea was vast and boundless, completely unimaginable in size.

Yet, in the understanding of many Cultivators,

perhaps the Chaos Sea was the entire world that contained everything.

But Zhang Yuhe knew

that this understanding was incorrect.

Beyond the Chaos Sea, there was also the mysterious and unpredictable Outer Domain Long River.

Within that endless Chaotic River,

worlds like the Chaos Sea, and even worlds broader than the Chaos Sea,

were completely countless.

Even the most ancient Eternal Emperor

could not explain clearly

exactly how many similar worlds there were within that Outer Domain Long River.

In Zhang Yuhe's view,

perhaps this was a theory of dimensions.

If a Primitive World like the Immortal Realm was viewed as a three-dimensional world,

then the Chaos Sea was one dimension higher than the Immortal Realm,

which should be considered a four-dimensional world.

And that vast Outer Domain Long River might be treated as a five-dimensional world,

or perhaps four-and-a-half dimensions.

Reasoning backward from that,

the world of elves within the radiant light was far less vast and broad than even the Immortal Realm.

It also lacked the bearing capacity of the Immortal Realm.

In Zhang Yuhe's view,

perhaps these elven worlds could be viewed as two-dimensional worlds.

Time is unique.

It was only due to the different dimensions that such a massive difference was shown.

"Yes, time is unique."

Zhang Yuhe suddenly came to a realization.

He felt as though he had grasped some key element.

Thinking of this,

Zhang Yuhe immediately turned around and said to Wu Yiyi beside him,

"Yi Yi, we need to stay here for a while. Don't go too far."

"I want to stay and comprehend for a bit."

After saying this,

Zhang Yuhe quickly sat down cross-legged.

He slowly closed his eyes, silently comprehending and deducing in his heart.

Seeing that Zhang Yuhe had quickly entered a state of meditative concentration,

this made Wu Yiyi, who was beside him, feel extremely speechless.

He had promised to bring her out to see the beautiful scenery in the Time Secret Realm.

Yet, they had only just arrived

when Zhang Yuhe entered a state of cultivation.

This was simply too ridiculous.

"He is simply a cultivation madman."

Wu Yiyi pouted her small mouth, feeling rather depressed.

However, she also knew

that sudden moments of comprehension could only be chanced upon and not sought.

Perhaps Zhang Yuhe had indeed touched upon some insight just now,

which was why he had suddenly entered a state of cultivation.

Without Zhang Yuhe's company,

Wu Yiyi did not dare to wander too far.

The brilliant and magnificent scenery around her no longer seemed to pique her interest.

"Sigh, if I had known it would be like this,

it would have been better to just stay in Yitian Manor."

"With people coming and going in this place, it doesn't look very safe."

Wu Yiyi felt a bit scared in her heart.

She looked around warily for a moment,

and then found a spot to sit cross-legged right next to Zhang Yuhe.

There was no Formation here to conceal them.

Wu Yiyi thought to herself,

with Zhang Yuhe suddenly entering a state of cultivation like this,

if he were to be disturbed,

it could easily lead to trouble.

She had to keep watch

and act as a Protector for Zhang Yuhe.

Although Wu Yiyi also knew

that she had no combat ability whatsoever, other than some Life-saving escape methods.

Even so,

she still sat cross-legged next to Zhang Yuhe, warily scanning the surroundings.

In case someone with ill intentions approached,

she could at least provide a buffer and warn Zhang Yuhe.

…

Time passed slowly.

Zhang Yuhe sat quietly in the Secret Realm like a wooden carving.

Occasionally, Cultivators passed by.

Seeing them actually cultivating in this Secret Realm, they all felt very surprised.

In everyone's eyes,

the Time Secret Realm was merely a beautiful natural landscape.

There were neither cultivation resources here, nor could one comprehend rules and Divine Abilities.

How could anyone Cultivate in this Secret Realm?

Even if they wanted to comprehend Divine Abilities and rules by observing those radiant lights,

they would usually do so outside the Secret Realm.

Outside the Secret Realm, one could see the full picture of those radiant lights.

But after entering the Secret Realm,

one could only see multicolored hues

and those elegant elves.

What could possibly be comprehended here?

Wasn't everyone just here to look at the scenery?

Despite their curiosity,

the passing Cultivators did not disturb them.

Everyone was a Cultivator of the Dao.

They all knew a very simple truth.

When others are cultivating, do not disturb them.

If it affected another person's cultivation and comprehension,

that would be a very troublesome and serious matter.

Obstructing someone's path of Dao is like killing their parents.

No one was willing to make enemies for no reason.

With his eyes slightly closed, Zhang Yuhe silently comprehended and deduced in his heart.

What was time?

What was the manifestation of time?

Was it merely an abstract description used to calculate time?

Zhang Yuhe felt that time would not be so simple.

Back when he was in the Immortal Realm,

he had once comprehended the nine Supreme Laws, and had even comprehended the Chaos Law.

This included the Law of Time.

Zhang Yuhe had previously thought

that since he had comprehended such powerful powers of Law,

perhaps he could soon convert these powers of Law into Great Dao Rules.

However, after cultivating in the Chaos Sea for many years,

Zhang Yuhe quickly came to understand

that the power of Law and Great Dao Rules were completely different things.

Great Dao Rules were vast and ethereal, making them difficult to grasp.

Currently, the known Great Dao Rules in the Chaos Sea were too numerous to calculate.

However, Zhang Yuhe had once studied them carefully.

These Daos that had already been comprehended and mastered seemed to only be some simple, practical rules.

For example, the Lie Tian Rule and the Wave Dao Rule.

These rules seemed to be merely a pursuit of the root of Divine Abilities.

Once comprehended to the limit, they became rules.

But even these simple, practical rules were still extremely difficult for people to comprehend and master.

In the legends of the Chaos Sea,

things like the Supreme Laws in the Immortal Realm,

such as time, space, Life, death, and so on,

must also have corresponding Great Dao Rules.

However,

these supreme Great Dao Rules had never been comprehended by anyone before.

People only speculated

that these rules should exist.

Let alone Great Dao Rules like time or space,

even the Five Elements Rules—

trying to comprehend even one of them was extremely difficult.

Every Five Elements Rule contained an undying attribute.

As long as one mastered a single Five Elements Rule,

when facing Cultivators of the same rank,

they would be an almost immortal existence.

From this, it was evident

how powerful the Five Elements Rules were.

Just the Five Elements Rules alone had such a terrifying effect.

Then what about supreme Great Dao Rules like time and space?

Once comprehended,

what kind of effect would they have?

Zhang Yuhe felt as if he had grasped some sort of key.

Perhaps with the help of this Time Secret Realm,

he would be able to comprehend something of the Great Dao of Time.

It was precisely because of this

that after feeling some touch of inspiration,

Zhang Yuhe did not dare to delay for a single moment and immediately sat down cross-legged.

He could not even care about the environment with people coming and going here,

which was completely unsuitable for comprehension and cultivation.

But there was no other way.

Comprehension happens in an instant.

If he missed this opportunity,

who knew when he would encounter such an insight again.

He didn't even know how long he would have to wait.

Zhang Yuhe understood

that he had to seize this opportunity.

Otherwise,

he would likely regret it deeply.
