Chapter 922
The Immortal Alliance's composition is extremely complex; it can be said to encompass forces ranging from third-rate to first-rate in Zhong Tian Zhi Yu, aside from the four great holy lands not joining, almost all forces of Zhong Tian Zhi Yu are within it.
Yan Buji even saw several female cultivators from the Lily Immortal Capital here!
Seeing Lin Qingli hurriedly follow that Inspector out, Yan Buji narrowed his eyes: "If the Immortal Alliance's interior has enough Chaos, then I have a chance to fish in troubled waters."
For Yan Buji, the goal remains clear.
"However, I need to sell off my gains quickly." Yan Buji thought, changed his form, and headed to Zhong Tian Zhi Yu city in the Heavenly Spirit Realm to start selling goods.
Since he had too much merchandise, Yan Buji didn't dare directly contact those who deal with stolen goods, so he could only sell cheaply, yet he managed to recoup a large sum of Spiritual Stones in a short time.
Taking advantage of the time before Lin Qingli returns, Yan Buji began secluded cultivation.
Whether the Time Sand he previously obtained, or the desire accumulated in the Swallow Desire Pot, both are enough for him to cultivate for a long time.
The only trouble is, I don't know if this woman Lin Qingli will blow up at him.
"At worst, I'll just take this hit; it doesn't matter." Yan Buji smiled.
Since it's a free benefit, being greedy or not doesn't matter.
Soon, Yan Buji found a cave dwelling and began cultivation.
Yan Buji set up layer upon layer of restrictions in the cave dwelling, then sat cross-legged on the futon and took out the Time Sand.
"Taking advantage of this time, I should quickly comprehend Heaven's Change, Eons; thus my comprehension of the Way of the Universe will surely advance further."
Just then, the Time Sand suddenly flashed with a mysterious and charming light, as if containing the power of endless ages.
This light was so brilliant and dazzling that one couldn't help but be captivated.
"Indeed, it's not ordinary." Yan Buji pondered; this Time Sand was taken from the nest of the desert's scorpion queen, completely different from the Time Sand he previously used for cultivating the Time Secret Technique.
He took a deep breath, steadied his mind, then began to circulate the Time Secret Technique, carefully guiding the Time Sand to merge into his own power.
At first, everything went fairly smoothly; the Time Sand was like a tamed wild horse, docilely following his guidance, slowly merging into his body.
Power kept accumulating, Yan Buji felt as if he were in the misty, fantastical Time River, as if....
"I transform into the zodiac animals, roaming in the Time River. The traces of time's passage cannot be avoided by any living being, but...."
Yan Buji entered a state of profound mystery, as if transformed into the zodiac animals; even while sensing the flow of time, he felt no discomfort.
For living beings, the greatest sensation of time's passage isn't just becoming older and weaker, right?
But he now feels no such sensation; thus Yan Buji gains confidence!
However, when he attempted to break through the final layer of the Time Secret Technique, 'Heaven's Change, Eons,' the situation suddenly became perilous.
"Not good!" Yan Buji's face changed dramatically.
That temporal power surged like a raging tide, suddenly crashing into his sea of consciousness.
This power was so strong that he instantly felt a heart-rending, lung-splitting pain, as if his whole head were about to explode.
Every strand of temporal power was like an extremely sharp blade, rampaging through his meridians, wantonly destroying.
Yan Buji clenched his teeth, desperately enduring this indescribable pain. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead like raindrops, soaking his clothes.
Just as he felt he could barely hold on, suddenly a flash of inspiration struck his mind; he thought of a method. He immediately mobilized the desire power accumulated in the Swallow Desire Pot, using the fundamental essence to harness this great power to forcibly steady his mind.
At this life-and-death moment, Yan Buji exerted all his strength, engaging in a heart-stopping contest with the violent temporal power.
His body trembled slightly from excessive tension, but his will was as hard as steel, unshakable.
Finally, after a long and arduous struggle, he successfully resisted the violent onslaught of temporal power and smoothly comprehended this layer of the secret technique, 'Heaven's Change, Eons.'
"Huff....." Yan Buji, drenched in sweat, let out a breath of relief.
After achieving it, he delightedly discovered that he could clearly perceive the flow of time.
"It's as if I can see the river of time flowing before my eyes, each drop representing a bygone moment. Moreover, it seems I can briefly step into that Time River....."
Yan Buji hesitated a moment, rose and stepped out of the cave dwelling, looked around and saw no cultivators present, then returned inside.
"Heaven's Change, Eons!"
In an instant, Yan Buji felt the projections of the twelve zodiac animals rushing out of the Time River to surround him; immediately, the heavenly phenomena shifted, and a vague, mysterious gate appeared before his eyes!
Yan Buji felt the power of the twelve zodiac animals begin to wane; suddenly realizing something, he no longer hesitated and stepped into the gate, vanishing from sight!
In the blink of an eye.
Yan Buji stood on the bank of the Time River; his figure appeared so tiny before this vast river. The Time River resembled an endless silver ribbon, flowing with the torrent of time, shimmering, dreamlike and illusory.
He took a deep breath, feeling the surrounding powerful and mysterious force. This force seemed to come from the depths of time, inspiring both awe and fascination.
Yan Buji gazed at the Time River, and an indescribable urge welled up in his heart.
He carefully stepped forward, entering the Time River.
In an instant, he seemed to be swept up by a tremendous force into a spacetime vortex, his body involuntarily spinning. The surrounding scenery became blurred, time and space intertwining, forming a bizarre, fantastical world.
"Past spacetime?"
Yan Buji stood in the middle of a barren land; around him was a bustling scene, people coming and going, bustling. He silently observed these mortals, who busily traversed the land, seemingly oblivious to his presence.
Yan Buji slowly walked forward, his steps light and steady, as if merging with the land. He approached a mortal, scrutinizing his features, trying to discern his expression.
However, when he reached out to touch that mortal, he found his hand passing through the person's body, as if he were a ghost.
Yan Buji froze, staring at his hand in disbelief, shaking his head. He tried again to touch other mortals, but the result was the same.
To him, these mortals were like illusory shadows, impossible to truly touch.
"What a peculiar Time River!"
