Chapter 551: Chapter 395 Time Trap_1
This time vortex was incredibly swift, just like the ones I had encountered before, unavoidable!
However, this vortex was completely the opposite of the previous ones; no one knew what effect it would have if one got caught in it.
In the next second, the vortex had fully formed, and looking through it, everything outside seemed to disappear, becoming extremely blurry!
Seeing this, Li Cheng felt a twinge in his heart, "This is bad!"
Previously encountered time disturbances were about cutting one's lifespan, but this one was different; it didn't slice lifespan but slowed down time!
Everything outside becoming blurry was because I was in the midst of a time reduction at countless magnitudes; a moment here and many years could've passed in the outside world!
That's why Li Cheng said this was bad, as the one thing he lacked the most right now was time, yet many years had passed in an instant!
In the blink of an eye, the vortex disappeared, and everything in front of him returned to normal.
Li Cheng quickly looked towards the spring, and his face immediately turned bitter, "As expected, father has actually reached the Heaven Supreme Realm, and we, in the blink of an eye within that time vortex, don't know how many years have passed in the outside world!"
The Confucius Ancestor opened his eyes and stepped onto the water to approach, a smile on his face, "What's with that expression? Aren't you happy that I've entered the Heaven Supreme Realm?"
He had no idea what Li Cheng and the others had just experienced.
Li Cheng forced a smile, "We just fell into a time trap, and in just an instant, countless years have passed in the outside world. Father, how many years have you been cultivating with The Pearl of Chaos Life and Death I gave you?"
The Confucius Ancestor calculated for a moment, "One thousand six hundred years!"
Li Cheng frowned, "As I thought!"
In just an instant, a whopping one thousand six hundred years had passed in the outside world; if they encountered such vortexes again, that would be disastrous!
The hope of the Divine Realm rested on me; if I can't return in time, or cannot deal with the Hunting Emperor Sect before the evolution of the Divine Realm completes, the Divine Realm will be in trouble.
By that time, Little Junior Sister Bai Qingming might find the Human Ancestor to resist the Hunting Emperor Sect, but whether the Human Ancestor will preserve the Divine Realm, or how he would treat it after preserving it, is completely unknown.
"What do you mean 'as expected'? What happened?" asked the Confucius Ancestor.
Li Cheng took a deep breath and explained, "Father, we have only over three hundred years left. In over three hundred years, the Divine Realm will complete its evolution, and then Supreme Realm powerhouses will effortlessly enter the Divine Realm."
The Confucius Ancestor frowned, looking towards the spring, "Do you want to exit from above or below?"
Li Cheng guessed correctly; whether it's the River of Life or the Styx, both flow toward every realm, following the rivers one could leave the Ten Thousand Ancestor Origin Land.
"Which way is faster?" Li Cheng asked.
The Confucius Ancestor shook his head, "I can't calculate it; perhaps we should split up."
"Whether choosing above or below, after exiting, we may not be in the Supreme Realm; we might go to the Cultivation World or some Immortal World, all are possible."
"So splitting up is the most suitable choice. You and Xuer decide first!" The Confucius Ancestor's words made sense; both paths could lead out of the Ten Thousand Ancestor Origin Land, but no one knew where they would end up, so the only option was to act separately.
Li Cheng released Dan Zhen once again and told him about the situation. Without hesitation, Dan Zhen chose the River of Life.
Li Cheng turned to his father, "Little Junior Sister and I will take the Styx, and you and the Alliance Hierarch take the surface. If you come out and the Human Ancestor's Divine World has already evolved, head there immediately."
If evolution is still incomplete, naturally, the next step would be to rush to the Supreme Realm.
"No time to lose, let's go!" Dan Zhen looked at the Confucius Ancestor and nodded.
He didn't want to stay a moment longer in this place, which was after all the tomb of a Heaven Supreme, and now that they knew the way out, naturally they wanted to leave at the first opportunity.
The two of them plunged into the spring, immediately carried away by the gushing River of Life.
Li Cheng looked at Yun Fuxue, "You go into my Divine World."
Yun Fuxue nodded, smiling, "I was thinking the same."
Li Cheng caught the loss that flickered in Yun Fuxue's eyes; clearly, in her view, although she had reached a Complete Human Supreme Realm, she still seemed like a burden in Li Cheng's eyes.
Li Cheng coughed lightly and smiled, "I'll send a Divine Soul avatar to accompany you in the Divine World. That way, we don't delay our journey, and we can also..."
Yun Fuxue's cheeks blushed as she lowered her head in silence.
Moments later, Li Cheng stepped into the Styx, letting the river wash him down from Ten Thousand Ancestor Mountain.
The reason for his choice was that he had cultivated the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture; the Styx wouldn't harm him, on the contrary, it was a big supplement to him.
Before long, he was washed away from Ten Thousand Ancestor Mountain, and the current became gentle. Li Cheng emerged from the water's surface to see nothing but a mist all around.
Standing on the water's surface, Li Cheng followed the flow, heading swiftly downstream.
The Styx flowed out of Ten Thousand Ancestor Mountain and, hidden in the mist, was divided into countless tributaries by the mountain ranges. Li Cheng chose the larger tributaries wherever possible, racing and flying.
As time passed, bones began to appear on the water's surface. Li Cheng had flown over hundreds of tributaries but was still within the mist, indicating he had not yet left Ten Thousand Ancestor Origin Land.
Finally, the mist began to thin!
Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, indicating he was close to an exit; he had been flying over the Styx for over a year and was eager to conclude this leg of the journey.
A few days later, a space crack appeared ahead, seemingly formed by the washing of the Styx. The Styx incessantly flowed out of the space crack.
"I'm finally close to the exit!"
Li Cheng accelerated his pace, flying out of the space crack to find himself in the Endless Void. Not far from him, the Styx gushed out through several more space cracks, dividing into streams that surged into the cracks without a known destination.
