Chapter 36: Speculation on Different Time Flows

"Yo, you're all here!"

As soon as the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie entered the Shared Space, he found the Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie,

dressed in scholar's robes, and the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie, wearing black chivalrous clothes,

in classic chivalrous attire, sitting on the ground and talking happily.

It was miserable to say, but this Shared Space had nothing but this endless square.

Even if the Zhang Jies wanted to find a chair, they couldn't.

Currently still at the martial arts level and unable to create things out of thin air, they could only sit on the ground.

"Heaven-Dependent, you're here."

The Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie waved a greeting.

"Hmm."

The Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie nodded in response.

"We thought you weren't coming and were just about to end tonight's gathering."

The Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie said faintly.

"I've been busy going to Zhu Wu Twin-Ring Manor recently!"

The Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie, who hadn't been to the Shared Space for several days, touched his chin awkwardly.

"So, you've already obtained the Nine Yang Divine Art?"

Hearing the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie say this, the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie's eyes lit up.

They were all Zhang Jie, so he naturally knew the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie's plan.

The Nine Yang Divine Art was not only a peerless secret manual in the Heaven-Dependent world,

but also a first-rate secret manual in the Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions world, where the martial power level crushed the Heaven-Dependent world.

As for whether the Nine Yang Divine Art could be compared to super-first-rate divine arts like the "North-Dark Divine Art," "Six-Pulse Divine Sword,"

and "Eight Desolations and Six Harmonies Unique Sovereign Art" in the Heavenly Dragon world,

he would have to wait until he obtained Wuyazi's inheritance on Mount Leigu to compare.

However, after the Nine Yang Divine Art reached completion, the internal energy was inexhaustible,

with effects like immense strength, Vajra-like invulnerability, immunity to all poisons, and rapid healing,

which were not to be underestimated even in the Heavenly Dragon world, where divine arts were numerous.

"Brother, you're quite something!"

The Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie also cast an appreciative look at the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie.

The Nine Yang Divine Art, if placed in the Water Margin world, just by the effect of prolonging life,

and making people over eighty still full of energy and walking like flying, could be called an immortal technique.

It was just that the Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie didn't have this idea; otherwise, just by relying on the techniques he mastered,

he could completely be a national master who brought disaster to the country and the people in the Water Margin world.

Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie: Fooling the emperor, manipulating the government, attacking officials, sleeping in the dragon bed, hehehe...

The Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie, watched by the two, felt relaxed all over, as if his bones had become lighter.

"Hehe! Come, take it!"

Having finished showing off and feeling satisfied, the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie stretched out his hands to the Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie and the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie.

After a negligible amount of time, the sharing was completed, and the sharing process was as smooth as ever.

"Not bad, not bad."

The Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie, who was carefully studying the Nine Yang Divine Art, nodded repeatedly.

Facing the Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie, who was shaking his head, the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie and the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie were also used to it.

Compared to one who had put all his attribute points into his body,

and one who was just a plain beggar,

the Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie had received a very systematic education since childhood,

and his research on the Four Books and Five Classics was quite deep, and his research on martial arts manuals was also stronger than theirs.

After all, these divine arts and secret manuals were all derived from the classics of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism;

didn't Huang Shang write the Nine Yin True Scripture and cultivate himself into a top expert?

Ignoring the Water Shui Hu Zhang Jie, the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie and the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie began to communicate.

"I say, why haven't you reached Mount Leigu yet?

The Great Song should be a bit better than the late Yuan and early Ming, right?"

The Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie asked in confusion. According to the passage of time in Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions,

it had been nearly a month since the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie first came to the Shared Space; how had he not reached Mount Leigu yet?

This was about the same as an old lady traveling!

It had only taken him half a month to go from Wudang to Zhu Wu Twin-Ring Manor.

And that was because there were routed soldiers, small bands of Yuan troops, and bandits who occupied mountains,

wanting to "borrow some money" from passing commoners and merchant caravans, emerging one after another.

The Heavenly Dragon world where the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie was, although not a prosperous age where doors were not locked at night,

was at least a period when the Great Song was relatively strong,

and the situation within the borders was relatively peaceful; traveling should be much more convenient than his.

As for the fact that the time flow of each world was not synchronized, the Zhang Jies didn't have any thoughts.

After all, for them, whether it was transmigrating worlds or different time flows, it was beyond their imagination.

Now, delving into this problem was like a frog in a well,

not only wasting time but also potentially causing cognitive errors; it wouldn't be too late to study it when they became giants.

However, the Zhang Jies did have some guesses about this:

The reason for this was because the time settings of each world were different.

It was like the Shrouding the Heavens world, where even the thirty emperors of the ages were only a million years.

And worlds like Coiled Dragon, where reaching the Saint level meant immortality,

as long as one wasn't killed by others, one could live until the end of the universe.

It could only be said that the creators of each world had different settings for lifespan.

The platform was undoubtedly the most generous one.

Whether it was Coiled Dragon, Swallowed Star, or Stellar Transformations, immortality, or even eternal life, was not a luxury.

In the Coiled Dragon world, there were countless gods who were tired of living and sought death themselves.

The seven high planes, the four supreme planes, the plane battlefield, countless gods died every day.

If the Great Emperors of Shrouding the Heavens knew that the Saint level in Coiled Dragon meant immortality, they would likely be envious to the point of vomiting blood.

The immortality they sought so hard was almost everywhere in the Coiled Dragon world.

The different time flows of each world wouldn't make the Zhang Jie of the Coiled Dragon world still a Saint,

while the Zhang Jie of Shrouding the Heavens had already died of old age, and even his ashes couldn't be found.

After all, in sharp contrast to the generosity toward lifespan was the stinginess of the creator platform toward realms:

In Shrouding the Heavens, a Great Emperor over a thousand years old was already considered to have no future,

while in Coiled Dragon, a Saint who hadn't become a god in a million years still had a promising future.

Not to mention that the peak of individual cultivation in the Coiled Dragon world was the perfection of the four elements of earth, fire, water, and wind,

without a main godhead, even if one cultivated until the end of the universe, one couldn't progress even a tiny bit.

In Perfect World, Shrouding the Heavens, and others, as long as you were stunning enough,

becoming a Heavenly Emperor who sacrificed to the Dao, even if you charged onto the plateau,

killed the ancestor, and dragged out some red-haired monster who had bad luck in his later years,

didn't sleep well, and didn't die cleanly, and beat him up, it would be no problem.

"Big brother, is it that I don't want to go quickly? It's just that my physical condition doesn't allow it!"

Facing the Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie's complaints, the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie pointed at his face in annoyance.

If an expert with profound internal energy observed carefully,

they would find that the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie's face, which was like jade, had a bit of disharmony.

It was as if a person who was starving and gaunt had left a trace even after getting enough nutritional supplements.

"Oh, oh. Sorry, I didn't think of that."

The reminded Heaven-Dependent Zhang Jie apologized repeatedly.

Because the power shared from the Shared Space wouldn't change Zhang Jie's physical condition without subjective guidance,

so the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie, who was originally a beggar, remained gaunt after returning to the Heavenly Dragon world.

Even though he had been trying hard to guide his internal energy to improve his physical condition during this time, the sequelae left by more than a decade of hungry and full beggar life hadn't been completely resolved.

Reflected on his face, the skin on the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie's face was still unnaturally sallow, and his muscles were not full enough.

And as everyone knew, the Xiaoyao Sect looked at faces when accepting disciples!

In the original work, Wuyazi, who was at his wit's end, still disliked Xuzhu's appearance for being too ugly.

Zhang Jie, who had read Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions, only felt that the Xiaoyao Sect's requirements for appearance were still too high,

after all, Xuzhu, who was reincarnated as Li Wang in later generations, didn't have an ugly face.

Even though the Heavenly Tian Tian Long Zhang Jie, who was confident that his aptitude far exceeded that of the little

Zhang Jie, having read *Heavenly Dragon*, only felt that the Xiaoyao Sect's requirements for appearance were still too high,

after all, no matter what, the face of Xuzhu, who would later be reincarnated as the Power King, could not be considered ugly.

Even though he was confident that his aptitude after sharing far exceeded that of the little monk Xuzhu, *Heavenly Dragon* Zhang Jie still decided to play it safe.

After all, inheriting Wuyazi's internal energy was, among the three worlds now,

a unique opportunity that absolutely could not be lost!

"Forget it, I forgive you."

*Heavenly Dragon* Zhang Jie waved his hand, indicating that a great person has a great heart and he wouldn't hold it against *Heaven-Dependent* Zhang Jie.

"Good brother!"

*Heaven-Dependent* Zhang Jie, his inner actor activated, immediately had tears in his eyes.

"Hey! We are all Zhang Jie, who are you performing for?"

*Heavenly Dragon* Zhang Jie moved away from *Heaven-Dependent* Zhang Jie with a face full of disgust.

At this time, *Water Margin* Zhang Jie, who had been studying the Nine Yang Divine Art, also came back to his senses.

He frowned, "Alright, stop messing around."

"Understood, understood."

*Heaven-Dependent* Zhang Jie and *Heavenly Dragon* Zhang Jie, intimidated by the scholarly aura inadvertently emitted by *Water Margin* Zhang Jie, followed the slope down.

Could he really be at odds with himself?

The Zhang Jies had only run to the Myriad Realms, but they didn't have schizophrenia.
