Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1530 The Manifestation of the Laws of Time

Lu Chen stood up and looked at the cliff face. At this moment, the runes were no longer mysterious to him; he could understand their meaning.

"This place is the 'Gap in Time,' where I secluded myself to comprehend the laws of time. I leave this rune here for someone destined to obtain it. However, the way of time is the most dangerous; learn it with caution."

The signature is a simple mark: a bright moon with a chaotic vortex within it.

“This mark…” Lu Chen recalled the bracelet the old Taoist priest had sold him; the beads on it seemed to have such a mark.

"Could it be that there are other people who have also cultivated the Chaos Dao Life Technique and even been here?" Lu Chen's heart was filled with shock.

If that's the case, then there's probably a deeper connection between the Nirvana Forbidden Land and the cultivation technique he practiced. Moreover, Lu Chen deduced that he might not be the only person who had cultivated the Chaos Dao Life Technique.

In other words, someone had already cultivated the Chaos Dao Life Technique before Lu Chen, but they may have perished later.

At the same time, Lu Chen also thought of another possibility, which was his own existence. If it was the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao, then before him, had the Heavenly Dao arranged for others as well?

It's just that the others didn't complete their tasks, which is why I was there.

Just as Lu Chen was pondering, the valley suddenly began to tremble strangely.

It wasn't an earthquake, but rather the entire fragment of time began to become unstable. The silver threads of time began to twist and break, and then countless tiny cracks appeared in the sky, revealing the dark turbulent flow of time behind them.

"Oh no, this fragmented space is about to collapse!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Chen's expression changed, and he immediately rushed towards the cliff face without hesitation. From the information he had just received, he had learned the method to leave: the cliff face itself was a teleportation array!

In the blink of an eye, Lu Chen channeled his divine energy into his palm and pressed it onto the Bright Moon Chaos Mark in the center of the cliff.

hum!

The cliff face suddenly lit up with a dazzling silver light, and runes were activated one after another in an instant.

Time in the entire valley accelerated and then suddenly stopped, then began to flow backward! The flowers on the grass withered, bloomed, and then turned back into buds; the stream flowed backward; even the clouds in the sky seemed to be drifting in the opposite direction.

When time rewinds to a certain point, Lu Chen feels a powerful pulling force.

He did not resist. His body was instantly engulfed by that light.

When Lu Chen finally set foot on solid ground again, he found himself back in the shattered spacetime of the Path of Life and Death.

But it wasn't the same area as before; it was a completely unfamiliar place.

The flow of time in the surrounding area was relatively stable, and there were far fewer spatial fragments. Ahead, a "road" paved with glowing runes could be vaguely seen.

At the beginning of the road, a figure stood with his back to him, cautiously observing his surroundings.

That figure looked familiar.

"Miss Fang?" Lu Chen called out tentatively.

The figure turned around abruptly, and it was indeed Fang Xinyi.

The moment she saw Lu Chen, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her guard: "Wait! How can you prove you're Lu Chen?"

Lu Chen was taken aback, not expecting her to ask such a question. However, he quickly understood that anything could happen in the time turbulence, and the trap of shadow imitation was even more difficult to guard against.

He thought for a moment, then said, "I found you in the Immortal Realm. It took me a lot of Nine Luminaries Divine Spring to save you. I even personally fed you the medicine..."

Lu Chen was about to reveal a secret known only to the two of them, but before he could finish, Fang Xinyi shyly interrupted him:

"Okay, stop talking. I believe you."

Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Why are you alone? Where's Nezha?"

Fang Xinyi's face darkened: "We're separated. I was thrown into a 'time maze' and only managed to find my way out with great difficulty. I didn't see him."

The two looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

The path of life and death is inherently perilous, and being separated from someone means the danger is doubled.

“We must find him as soon as possible,” Lu Chen said in a deep voice. “Moreover, I just made a major discovery…”

He briefly recounted his experience in the "Gap of Time," including the runes and markings.

After listening, Fang Xinyi's expression changed: "If that's the case, then all of this is probably not a coincidence."

Lu Chen remained silent.

He had thought about this problem before. But there was no point in thinking about it too much right now.

"Let's find Nezha first, since we came together. As for the rest, we'll see how things go." Lu Chen looked at the glowing rune path ahead. "This path... seems to lead to the depths of the Road of Life and Death."

“I think so too.” Fang Xinyi nodded in agreement after checking. “I also found some guides in the time maze that pointed in this direction.”

Without further delay, the two landed directly on the road constructed of countless runes.

As soon as the two stepped onto it, the runic path automatically extended out beneath their feet, radiating a soft silver light, which was quite mysterious.

Each rune seemed to be alive, flickering and shimmering with Lu Chen and Fang Xinyi's footsteps, like a dream.

The two walked very cautiously. Even though the path seemed to be a safe guide, on this road of life and death, any negligence could be fatal.

“These runes…” Fang Xinyi observed as she walked, “are very similar to an ancient array pattern recorded in our clan, but even more sophisticated. They are not guiding direction, but rather… stabilizing time.”

"By the way, what ethnic group did you belong to before?"

Lu Chen nodded in agreement, then asked curiously.

The fact that Fang Xinyi has survived to this day already indicates that her clan is extraordinary; in Lu Chen's view, it is at least comparable to the Youqiong clan.

However, Fang Xinyi did not answer Lu Chen, but chose to remain silent.

Lu Chen didn't seem to care about that, and continued:

"It seems that the predecessor who created this path was far more powerful than we imagined. To be able to open up a stable passage in such a place, one must at least be proficient in the application of the laws of time."

Fang Xinyi turned her head to look at Lu Chen and said, "You have a deep understanding of the laws of time?"

"It's alright," Lu Chen said without hiding anything. "The runes I saw in the Rift of Time gave me a significant boost."

As he spoke, Lu Chen stretched out his hand, palm facing upwards. The Chaos Dao Life Technique automatically activated, and a palm-sized, dynamic pattern condensed in his palm. It was a reflection of the surrounding flow of time, and the image was very clear.

This means that Lu Chen can use the power of the laws of time to directly show what has already happened or what will happen in the future, which shows that his mastery of the laws of time has reached an extraordinary level.

“This is…” Fang Xinyi’s beautiful eyes widened.

“I call it the ‘Time Sensing Diagram’,” Lu Chen said with a smile. “My cultivation technique is already capable of deducing the laws of all things. With the insights gained from the Time Rift, I can now begin to perceive the flow of time and concretely use the laws of time to represent it.”

Suddenly, a region in the pattern on Lu Chen's palm began to fluctuate violently.

That was about thirty feet to the left of Rune Road, in an area densely populated with spatial fragments.

The previously stable flow of time suddenly twisted and spun, forming a small silver vortex. At the center of the vortex, something was faintly glowing and emanating a terrifying aura.

"Be careful, something's up." Lu Chen stopped and looked in that direction...
