Chapter 921: Can time flow backward?

Chen Xun smiled warmly, nodding repeatedly at Di Tian, his gaze as if looking at his own son, making Di Tian feel somewhat uneasy.

"We must have met at the Tian Duan chasm before."

His voice was exceptionally gentle as he spoke, even bowing slightly to Di Tian, "Thank you for your righteous intervention on behalf of the Nine Heavens Immortal Alliance."

"Dao Ancestor, you flatter me." Di Tian's pupils widened, not daring to do anything unnecessary, like helping Chen Xun up.

Chen Xun glanced around, finding the atmosphere quite silent and out of place with the surroundings. He smiled and said, "Di Tian, please have a seat."

The two of them walked over to a wooden table and sat across from each other. Chen Xun, with a calm demeanor, personally poured tea for Di Tian.

Di Tian appeared slightly nervous but didn't seem restless in front of the immortal.

He had once witnessed the full power of an immortal, tearing through the void with bare hands, their immortal power capable of moving stars, a single word could invoke the laws of heaven and earth, creating something from nothing, and a casual strike could destroy a vast region!

Di Tian took a deep breath; with the Dao Ancestor silent, he dared not speak.

Where the divine sense of an immortal covered, a single word could shatter the laws of a Tribulation Crossing Venerable, turning their millennia of cultivation into nothingness, terrifying beyond measure. Di Tian's eyes flickered with an unusual light, his fingers unconsciously tensing.

"I never thought the beings of Kingdom Qian would be saved by you." Chen Xun took a sip of health tea and spoke leisurely, "I suppose you must have foreseen something when you revived back then."

As he finished speaking, Chen Xun's narrow eyes stared directly at Di Tian's third eye.

Di Tian lowered his gaze and solemnly said, "Dao Ancestor, you once came to the Tian Duan chasm. During the opening of the heavens, the myriad spirits of the boundary were touched by your karma, and we were no exception."

Chen Xun's gaze lightly shifted, looking towards the bamboo forest with a sigh, "Regardless, the fact that the young ones of the Five Aggregates Sect could be saved by you means Bull and I owe you a great debt."

"Dao Ancestor, if I hadn't saved them, I would have seen a glimpse of the destruction of the Three Thousand Great Worlds."

Di Tian's words were profoundly deep, a chill slowly spreading around him, "Saving them was merely to save myself and my race, I cannot bear such a favor from the Dao Ancestor."

"Moreover, in the battle of the Milky Way, the residual power of the Dao Ancestor even made the Immortal Spirit Clan return their clan fortune to us. Now, it is us who owe a great debt to the Dao Ancestor, the karma of the boundary has long been settled."

"Hehe..."

Chen Xun chuckled lightly, looking at Di Tian with a satisfied expression, "If there are any insurmountable difficulties, come to the Five Aggregates Sect to find me, I am more than willing to assist you."

He had some understanding of the Three-Eyed Ancient Immortal Clan's nature, known for their many tribulations.

Throughout the long river of immortal history, this clan had teetered on the brink of extinction numerous times. If not for the divine abilities favored by heaven and earth, they would have long been annihilated.

Di Tian's whole body trembled, speaking with disbelief, "Dao Ancestor... you have already helped my clan, the karma is completely settled, it is us who owe you."

"The power of karma, the laws of karma, are just one aspect of the immortal path, not the entirety."

Chen Xun leisurely drank his health tea, "It can be revered, it can be cultivated, but it cannot be fully trusted. I speak and act according to my heart's desires, I have said the same to the Emperor."

"So, between us, there's no need to be too concerned about karma, I simply wish to help you, that's all."

His expression was calm and profound, like a serene lake, each word and phrase imbued with immense Dao essence, making one believe and not dare to question.

Di Tian's gaze deepened, bowing his hands, "Dao Ancestor, I understand."

"Alright, let's not talk about such profound topics today." Chen Xun's smile became more radiant, "Accompany me for some tea, enjoy the scenery of the Five Aggregates Sect, if you like this ten-thousand-year Yin-Yang bamboo, take some back with you."

*Cough...!*

Di Tian almost choked on his tea, knowing the secret between his clan and the Dao Ancestor regarding the Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit.

When he heard about it, his Dao heart was so overwhelmed by the boxes of longevity fruits that he even doubted whether he had emerged from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Time Sand...

Now, hearing about the ten-thousand-year Yin-Yang bamboo, the supreme treasure of the Jade Canopy Forest Sea being casually offered, Di Tian's heart was in turmoil, unable to fathom where the Dao Ancestor obtained these things.

He no longer hesitated, "Dao Ancestor, I would like to take a piece of the ten-thousand-year Yin-Yang bamboo to refine the Karma Eye."

"Bull, when Di Tian leaves, let him take a boatload back."

Chen Xun casually called out, his voice light and not loud, as Black Bull's divine sense always lingered slightly on him.

"Moo!" Black Bull responded casually, chatting enthusiastically with Bai Li Feng Yao, not wanting to be disturbed by such trivial matters.

"Heh, damn it... this Bull." Chen Xun laughed silently, watching Black Bull roam around chatting, feeling inexplicably happy and a bit gratified.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's eyes welled with a trace of blood, his fingers trembling slightly, causing the tea in his hand to shake. He knew the Dao Ancestor's rule, the more you refuse, the more he gives.

He dared not refuse.

Truly a heaven-sent opportunity...

Di Tian's peripheral vision glanced at the thick and tall Yin-Yang bamboo, unable to discern what method was used to nurture them. The Water Spirit Decision was impossible, as it didn't contain the power of Yin-Yang.

He slowly stood up, performing a grand salute, "Thank you for the Dao Ancestor's gift, Di Tian will never forget. If I can cultivate the legendary Yin-Yang Karma Eye, I may glimpse a corner of the past."

"Di Tian!" Chen Xun's eyes suddenly filled with a stirring emotion, "Can time flow backward, can it return to a certain point in time?"

"Dao Ancestor, it can!"

Di Tian nodded heavily, without hesitation, speaking in a deep voice, "The chaotic clan's divine abilities and talents, the chaos laws, if cultivated with the myriad clans' heritage from a previous era's cycle of heaven and earth..."

"Then the Human Emperor's immortal art, the Great Thousand Creation Art, can open the ancient path of chaos... The chaotic clan once attempted this during the era of great slaughter among the myriad clans, to reverse the long river of time, seeking the origin of the Grand World!"

"This legend is no secret among the great clans, the slaughter on the battlefield beyond the boundary is so fierce, the Boundless Myriad Clans probably also seek this method, even the Ancient Saint Clan is no longer silent."

"The ancestral boundary, the immortals of the Ancient Saint Clan have already stepped onto the battlefield beyond the boundary."

Di Tian's voice was firm and powerful, without any concealment, because he knew what this Dao Ancestor wanted to do, the tragic death of the myriad spirits of the boundary was a lifelong pain for the opener.

Those beings died to guard the front lines of the battlefield for generations, charging into battle on the boundary battlefield, consuming their longevity to counteract Filthy Longevity for the opener.

If the Dao Ancestor of the Five Elements didn't want to reverse time to save them, then he wouldn't be the one who gifted boxes of Taiwei Purple Immortal Fruit for saving a group of weak cultivators from his own clan.

In that instant, Chen Xun's eyes seemed to shine with a dazzling light, he drank his health tea in one gulp, his eyes flickering, appearing lost in thought.

This is the grand world of cultivating immortality... with the existence of immortals, he himself is an immortal, bearing the power to destroy the heavens and earth, time can indeed be reversed!

Chen Xun's breathing became a bit heavier, the gentle breeze between heaven and earth silently swept by.

If there is something in this world that even immortals cannot achieve, it only means he is not strong enough yet, not enough to reverse the heavens and earth, to make the laws of heaven and earth yield to him!

Chen Xun's gaze suddenly became incredibly sharp, but as long as he lived, he could continue to grow stronger, until he could retrieve all his old friends from the long river of time.

Whether it's a hundred thousand years, a million years, or even ten million years, he can live through it!

Compared to the elusive cycle of reincarnation and merit, he still has more faith in his own strength.
