Chapter 1134: 1039 Comprehending the Time Law (none today)

A towering mountain peak stood proudly, where Li Yao, Sun Yang, and Fairy Qinghe were gathered at the summit, their expressions turned grim.

Han Tianyang and more than ten True Immortal Cultivators stood before them, looking tense.

"Turns out Tianchen Peak has layered restrictions. I’ve never heard of such a thing before!"

Sun Yang exclaimed in surprise.

"If not for the relic I obtained from a fallen True Immortal Cultivator, I wouldn’t have known either. I suspect other treasure hunters deliberately withheld this information. True Immortal Cultivators who’ve only grasped the entry-level Laws would stand no chance, obliterated directly by the restrictions. If not for the Law Minor Achievement of the disciple here, escape would have been impossible."

Han Tianyang said with a hint of fortune in his tone.

"Tianchen Peak is the dwelling of Tianchen Elder, so it’s not surprising that other treasure hunters would suppress information about these layered restrictions. However, Xu Gao’s reckless actions disrupted our sect’s plans. He must be severely punished."

Fairy Qinghe spoke in a somber tone.

They had dispatched over five hundred True Immortal Cultivators into Tianchen Tomb to search for treasures, but most ended up dead or injured. Many were annihilated by the restrictions, and the remains of countless cultivators were utterly destroyed.

Originally, they had already located Tianchen Peak, but a portion of the disciples, coveting the relics of the Taiyi Golden Immortal, took it upon themselves to attack the restrictions, triggering the layered restrictions. As a result, Han Tianyang and the others were forced to retreat from Tianchen Tomb prematurely.

"A single piece of filth can spoil the entire pot. If they had waited for Master Nephew Han to arrive, there was a chance the restrictions could’ve been dismantled. Who knows when Tianchen Tomb will surface again."

Sun Yang sighed.

"There’s no point dwelling on it. Let’s first gather the disciples and return to the main hall!"

Li Yao said in a deep voice.

······

In the bustling Jinluo marketplace, the streets were thronged with crowds, and the sounds of carriages and horses echoed incessantly.

Shen Xiao strolled along the streets, his expression composed.

A quarter of an hour later, he arrived at Qingyang Pavilion’s entrance, opened the door, and stepped inside.

He summoned the Myriad Bamboo Chart and executed a spell, causing Shen Long and Chu Buyu to emerge from within the chart.

"Master, we are currently at the Jinluo marketplace."

Shen Xiao informed.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu had originally planned to return to the Glazed Sea Domain, but now that they had acquired two Third Grade Dao Pills, they changed their minds and decided to stay in the Jinluo marketplace for secluded cultivation, striving to comprehend a Supreme Law.

With the assistance of the Third Grade Dao Pill, their chances of comprehending a Supreme Law were greatly increased.

Shen Long released Shen Chan and Shen Fu, issuing orders: "We will be in secluded cultivation for some time. Keep an eye on outside affairs, particularly information regarding Tianchen Tomb."

"Yes, Master."

The three responded in unison.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu entered a practice room and then stepped into the Myriad Beasts Tower, arriving at its ninth layer, the Myriad Beasts Hall.

They each proceeded into a practice chamber, where Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red meditation cushion.

He took out a golden jade stone, which shimmered brightly as he infused it with Immortal Yuan Power.

The jade stone emitted a radiant golden light, forming the spectral image of a dignified old man clad in golden robes.

"The cultivation difficulty of the first six layers of the Chronicles of Immortal Age is not high, though certain aspects require attention·····"

The golden-robed elder began speaking slowly.

Shen Long listened intently, mesmerized, and replayed unclear sections to ensure his comprehension.

With the Chronicles of Immortal Age and Tianchen Elder’s insights into cultivation techniques, Shen Long’s cultivation of the Chronicles of Immortal Age became much smoother.

······

In the Jinling Mountain Range, within the Jinling Tribe.

A serene manor stood quietly, where Jin Hao and Zi Huan conversed under a green stone pavilion.

"Tianchen Tomb? Are you certain?"

Jin Hao’s expression grew heavy.

"Absolutely. Disciples from Hengshan Sect’s Information Hall have looked into Tianchen Tomb. There’s a location within it containing a Divine Soul Forbidden Spell, which explains why Hengshan Sect has been collecting resources to heal Divine Soul injuries at such high prices."

Zi Huan replied.

"So you’re saying Tianchen Tomb is likely to appear within the Ancient Cloud Continent, and Hengshan Sect is scheming for the Tianchen Sword?"

Jin Hao asked solemnly.

"That’s most likely the case. A top-grade Time Immortal Artifact would significantly enhance Hengshan Sect’s Taiyi Golden Immortal’s combat capabilities. However, the Tianchen Sword is the signature Immortal Artifact of Tianchen Elder, so it’s unlikely to be stored within Tianchen Tomb."

Zi Huan speculated.

"Better safe than sorry. Keep a close watch on Hengshan Sect’s movements. We cannot allow them to acquire a top-grade Time Immortal Artifact."

Jin Hao instructed.

"Understood, clan leader."

Zi Huan agreed firmly.

······

Time drifted by, five thousand years passed.

In the Jinluo marketplace, the streets thronged with tides of people, and carriages bustled ceaselessly.

Within the Qingyang Pavilion, the door to the practice chamber opened wide as Shen Long and Chu Buyu emerged.

Shen Long wore a radiant smile; with Tianchen Elder’s guidance, he smoothly cultivated the Chronicles of Immortal Age up to the third level. After consuming the Third Grade Dao Pill containing the Time Law, he successfully comprehended the Time Law, though only to the entry stage.

Even so, Shen Long no longer feared facing Han Tiancheng.

Chu Buyu, after consuming a Third Grade Dao Pill containing the Causality Law, didn’t succeed in comprehending the Causality Law.

This was unsurprising—if every cultivator could comprehend a Supreme Law merely by consuming a Third Grade Dao Pill, major factions would have long since mass-produced True Immortal Cultivators proficient in Supreme Laws.

They gathered within the main hall, where Shen Long retrieved a law disk emitting a flashing red light and executed a spell, maneuvering with deft precision.

Quarter of an hour later, Shen Xiao, Shen Chan, and Shen Fu returned.

"What’s the situation? Any news about Tianchen Tomb?"

Shen Long inquired.

"Quite a few True Immortal Cultivators entered Tianchen Tomb back then. I’ve heard Hengshan Sect dispatched hundreds of True Immortal Cultivators into Tianchen Tomb, suffering devastating losses. By the way, rumor has it Hengshan Sect acquired the top-grade Time Immortal Artifact, Tianchen Sword, and fought fiercely with Jinling Tribe over it, causing massive casualties among True Immortal Cultivators."

Shen Xiao explained slowly.

Following Shen Long’s orders, they had been diligently gathering intelligence on Tianchen Tomb.

"The Tianchen Sword—the top-grade Time Immortal Artifact—has fallen into Hengshan Sect’s hands? Was it procured by Han Tianyang?"

Shen Long exclaimed in shock.

"Uncertain. Outside rumors suggest so. But I suspect it’s false, likely a fabrication by Jinling Tribe. If Hengshan Sect truly possessed the Tianchen Sword, even Taiyi Golden Immortals would have intervened. By the way, here are Tianchen Elder’s portrait and accounts of his deeds."

Shen Xiao handed over a green scroll and three jade slips to Shen Long.

After reviewing the jade slips, Shen Long and Chu Buyu nodded subtly.

"Green Bamboo Immortal Lord! A Second-Grade Dao Pill Master. The Green Bamboo Garden we discovered must have been his residence. The Third Grade Dao Pills must have been refined by him."

Shen Long speculated aloud.

The higher the rank of a Dao Pill, the greater the efficacy. The rank of a Dao Pill Master’s creations reflected their alchemical skills.

"We just don’t know what led to Tianchen Elder and his disciples’ deaths. Judging from the layout of Hundred Refinements Garden and Green Bamboo Garden, they seemed to have planned to return, but something unexpected occurred, preventing them."

Chu Buyu analyzed.

"That remains uncertain. The Tianchen Sword is unlikely to have been left at Tianchen Peak. However, with the layered restrictions at Tianchen Peak, there’s bound to be something valuable there—that’s likely why Hengshan Sect dispatched hundreds of True Immortal Cultivators into Tianchen Tomb. Regardless, this matter is no longer relevant to us. It’s time we head back."

Shen Long remarked deeply.

He stored Shen Xiao and Shen Fu back into the Spirit Beast Bracelet and departed Qingyang Pavilion.

Exiting the marketplace, Chu Buyu summoned the Mysterious Fire Boat, carrying them away into the distance.
