Chapter 1556

「I forgot something. 」

Numerous old ancestors asked, "What is it?"

Lu Xuan said, "The temporal power downstream of this long river is too thin; I will move the World Tree a bit so it can absorb more Dao Resonance."

One must know that going upstream along the long river, the temporal Dao Resonance becomes increasingly thin.

The little tree immediately exclaimed, "Great, Lord Lu Xuan!"

Lu Xuan slapped his hand, continuously forming seals; the spatial patterns of the Dao Transformation stage surged, directly pulling the World Tree out of the temporal long river.

The World Tree's vast, continuous root system appeared bit by bit.

At the location of the roots, the aura of the purple-veined azure vines grew stronger, and specks of purple lightning flickered on its body.

Under the power of the concealment disk, the World Tree's departure did not attract the notice of those Dao Fruit realm Gu Clan powerhouses; they were still angrily destroying that space on a large scale.

But they gained nothing!

Their faces showed impatience; they were already preparing to leave.

A Gu Clan member in gray robes lowered his voice and said, "You say, could it be that the Past Sect's Suxi has acted again?"

The powerhouses of other tribes said, "Perhaps this is indeed possible. Only he acting could make the World Tree vanish silently under our noses."

The gray-robed man said, "But why is that? Isn't another powerhouse of the Past Sect allied with Old Ancestor Simatai?"

Everyone shook their heads, saying, "Who knows? I've heard the Past Sect is very mysterious; their mastery of time is even greater than that of Old Ancestor Simatai!"

Soon, many powerhouses gave up searching for the World Tree, saying, "If so, then the primordial seed has once again escaped disaster."

"Boom—boom—boom!"

Many Longevity Clan powerhouses began to return.

Numerous huge ships crossed the long river, sailing upstream, erupting with terrifying might, sending up heavenly‑high waves of the river water.

"Splash! Splash!"

Also, many Dharma‑form bodies vanished into the long river.

They came quickly and left just as quickly.

They intended to send the news to the Butterfly World, while Old Ancestor Simatai was still waiting for their news.

Lu Xuan, one hand supporting the World Tree, quickly arrived at a place of turbulent river water; here the temporal power was dozens of times stronger than before, yet still within the World Tree's tolerance.

The little tree happily jumped up; she keenly sensed that the temporal Dao Resonance here was very rich.

The World Tree can also devour this power.

Lu Xuan directly inserted the World Tree into the long river.

The concealment disk remained silent and self‑contained, forming its own space.

Lu Xuan again bade farewell to everyone, then left.

He was pondering a matter: having left the Butterfly World, he stepped into its left wing again—couldn't he just enter directly as the first time?

"Hiss!"

When he was about to step into the left‑wing world, he froze.

He felt the existence of a barrier!

Unable to step in!

This barrier contained the Dao of Causality and the Dao of Time, flashing with an inscrutable Divine Light, and likewise a surge of temporal power flowed through his body.

The two temporal forces are mutually repulsive!

The causal force is also mutually repulsive!

Lu Xuan gained a sudden realization: between the left‑wing and right‑wing worlds, because causality cannot be reversed, direct passage is difficult.

Only through the Book of Time can one do so.

The power of the Book of Time can ignore the backlash between the two sections of the temporal long river.

Lu Xuan checked the system panel: Yang Ling'er and Qingqiu, in the left‑wing timeline, several months have already passed.

And their cultivation had all reached the first‑star Dao Lord realm.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded.

"Ding! Begin synchronizing the cultivation and insights of Wuwo!"

"Ding! Begin synchronizing the cultivation and insights of Xiao Alang!"

"Ding! Begin synchronizing Qingqiu's……"

The voice fell silent!

An incomparably pure cultivation essence surged into Lu Xuan's body, impacting him like a great river.

A tingling, numb sensation appeared again.

Lu Xuan's cultivation began to surge wildly!

Mid‑stage Seven‑Star Dao Lord realm!

Early stage Eight‑Star Dao Lord realm!

Mid‑stage Eight‑Star Dao Lord realm!

Finally halted at the late stage of the Eight‑Star Dao Lord realm!

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad."

After leaving the left wing, Qingqiu, Xiao Alang, and others have been cultivating nonstop on Yingzhao Star; Yingzhao Star currently faces no danger.

So we return to this present time point.

He directly produced the Book of Time.

"Hiss!"

The Book of Time slowly opened, bursting forth a brilliant golden radiance; the ancient aura washed over Lu Xuan's body like a torrent, as strands of temporal particles flowed with profound qi, enveloping his body.

Lu Xuan directly vanished on the spot, stepping into the left wing's River of Time.

The Chronicle of Time anchored the current time node.

At this moment, the Glowing Star, cause and effect, time and space were all locked by the Chronicle of Time, seeming utterly still.

However, within the left wing's River of Time, the Divine Light was endless, and the Glowing Star's light was rather inconspicuous.

Lu Xuan opened his Insight Eye and looked toward the River of Time.

Blinding rays of light, huge like stars, these were major events within the River of Time.

These major events, condensed from time and space, cause and effect, exuded a tremendous attractive force.

From this angle, Lu Xuan saw for the first time the power of all the great trends of the times.

"The great trend of the times is vast and mighty; those who follow it prosper, those who oppose it perish!"

Lu Xuan sighed with emotion.

Even Dao Transformation Realm and Dao Fusion Realm experts, when swept up in this trend, are like carp crossing the river.

One huge ball of light after another represents a tremendous cause and effect.

"This shows that in the Butterfly World, past events can be reversed."

Lu Xuan murmured, having gained some insight.

Meanwhile, outside the Butterfly World, many Gu Clan experts had returned, they activated the Supreme Secret Technique to contact Sima Tai Ancestor.

Within the central trunk, Sima Tai's aged voice sounded: "How is the matter of the Primordial Original Seed?"

A Longevity Clan expert said, "The World Tree vanished out of nowhere; clearly we had seen it from afar, but when we arrived before it, the World Tree was gone."

"Hmm?" Sima Tai frowned.

Suyuan's expression also turned solemn.

The Longevity Clan expert continued, "Even a Dao Fruit Realm expert cannot detect it; we destroyed the space there, yet there is no trace of the World Tree."

"Really?" Xuanming Ancestor also expressed some doubt.

The Longevity Clan expert gathered courage and said, "Could it be that the expert of the Past Sect made a move?"

Suyuan's face grew grim: "Could it be my senior brother?"

He could not believe it!

After hesitating, Suyuan activated countless secret arts and began contacting Suxi.

Suxi's reply was simple: "A fool is beyond cure!"

This left Suyuan standing stunned, his face full of utter shame and dejection.

Changsheng Ancestor spoke: "It seems we still need to defeat Lu Xuan in the Butterfly World."

Upon hearing that, Xuanming Ancestor coldly snorted: "Dieyue, you are now overexerting your strength; how much more time can you buy for Lu Xuan?"

Dieyue said nothing, merely lifting her jade finger slightly: "Seal!"
