Chapter 458: A Startling Discovery

"This is impossible; how could humans cross something like time?"

Although they were relatively trusting of Qin Feng,

after Qin Feng suggested that Beigong Shang might have crossed time and arrived at another time period,

almost everyone refuted him in unison.

They felt that this was an impossible thing.

It was conceivable that in this world,

at least, the people of the Mobis Kingdom were in awe of time.

"In this world, what is impossible?"

"As long as something exists, everything is possible."

"Moreover, what I said is just a guess, not a conclusion."

"Whether it really crossed time or not, it would be more appropriate to investigate and test it, wouldn't it?"

"At the very least, this is our only guess for now."

"We can't just let Beigong Shang wait there to die without even trying."

Although Qin Feng had thought about the matter of time travel before, he knew it would be very difficult for them to comprehend.

Yet he hadn't expected that they would be completely unable to grasp it at all.

"Take a good look at your surroundings first and see if you have any impression of them."

"Try to recall which direction you might have come from."

"See if you can still find that direction, and whether you can locate your body."

"Your soul is constantly in motion."

"Although the distance of the movement isn't great, I can feel it."

"The Soul Chain is bound to a person's soul."

"Therefore, all I can sense is the distance between your soul and me."

"I cannot sense the distance between your body and me."

"So, I have no way to determine if your body is near you."

If nothing else, first let Beigong Shang find his own body.

Returning to his body to save his life is the most important thing.

In Beigong Shang's current state, it is truly too dangerous.

He might completely die at any moment.

And if he were to die, it would be the kind of death where the soul scatters—the most thorough death possible.

Furthermore, it is hard to say whether his body might encounter any danger.

"That's right, regardless of the reason."

"Since it's dawn, you should hurry and find your body."

"Find a way to ensure you can survive first. Then we will find a way to save you."

After this reminder from Qin Feng, they finally noticed that Beigong Shang was still in a spiritual form.

He needed to find a way to locate his body to ensure he wouldn't die at any moment.

"To be honest, looking around, it's almost completely unobstructed."

"I can't see anything that looks like a human figure at all."

"Therefore, my body shouldn't be in this vicinity."

"Now I have to go find my body; it might take a long time. I can't say how long."

Truth be told, Beigong Shang remained very calm and composed.

If it were an average person, upon learning that their soul had left their body and they could die at any moment,

it would be difficult to remain as calm as Beigong Shang.

Although he was not as intelligent as Beigong Yun, Beigong Shang was in no way inferior to him in terms of mental fortitude and willpower.

Since Beigong Shang was working hard to find his body, they couldn't just sit around doing nothing on the outside.

Right now, they couldn't help Beigong Shang with anything from the outside, so they could only wait.

Therefore, they stopped wasting time and sat down on the spot to begin cultivating.

This area was still on the outskirts of the Origin Opening Secret Realm, so the temperature was not very high.

The Qi in the air was also relatively stable.

Thus, they had no trouble absorbing the Qi of heaven and earth and converting it into the internal energy within their bodies.

They focused on their cultivation.

Beigong Shang could be considered quite patient; he wandered around for an entire day.

And he didn't say anything.

If not for Beigong Yun calling out to him occasionally, fearing he might die silently in some place they didn't know about,

Beigong Shang would still give a sound to respond to Beigong Yun.

They would have truly thought that Beigong Shang had completely vanished.

"I think I've discovered something."

A full day and night had passed.

Just as everyone was becoming somewhat anxious and worried,

Beigong Shang, who hadn't spoken on his own initiative, suddenly exclaimed.

This drew everyone's attention.

"What is it? What did you discover? You didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

Beigong Yun, who had been keeping a close eye on his younger brother, was the first to ask.

"I didn't encounter danger, but I saw a very magical scene."

"Although the distance is very, very far, I still saw it."

When Beigong Shang said this, his tone was drawn out very long.

His tone sounded inexplicable, giving one a feeling of being very complex and indescribable.

This piqued everyone's curiosity.

"So what exactly did you see?"

Beigong Yun continued to press.

"I saw a person fighting with a phoenix."

"And that phoenix is almost exactly the same as the one you saw earlier in that barrier that looked like a chicken."

"I don't know if other phoenixes also look almost exactly like that one."

"But at least in my view, they are very similar."

"It's just that the phoenix you saw was slightly larger in size."

"And the phoenix in the distance is slightly smaller."

Good heavens, what kind of luck did they have?

To have encountered two phoenixes in succession within just a few days.

Beigong Shang's words made almost everyone jump up.

Visual sharing was activated immediately, and everyone saw the shocking scene before them through Beigong Shang's eyes.

"It's not just very similar, it's exactly the same."

Because the strength of this phoenix and the strength of the person fighting it were too powerful,

even though they were far away and even though they were looking through visual sharing,

Qin Feng did not activate his Eye of Truth.

He was afraid of the backlash.

After all, he had already suffered a backlash just by taking a single look at the phoenix sealed within the barrier earlier,

and that was while looking through the barrier.

To ensure his own safety, Qin Feng did not intend to risk using the Eye of Truth at this moment.

"Do you think that person could be the Flame King?"

Qin Feng, who had the most active imagination, said this almost immediately.

It really wasn't that his imagination was too wild, nor was he making such a guess just to forcibly prove his time-travel theory correct.

Because, apart from Qin Feng, almost everyone else thought of the same possibility when they saw this scene.

After all, there is a saying in this world: seeing is believing.

No matter how much they didn't want to believe it,

since such a scene had truly appeared before them, they had no choice but to believe.

And at this very moment, they looked at Qin Feng with extreme shock.

They didn't understand how he could have guessed such a thing.

Although this event was happening right before their eyes,

and the guess about time travel had a high probability of being correct,

they were still completely unable to comprehend it.
