Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 178 Time Sequence Refresh
The reason why the past body of the [Insect Mother] was severed is 90% due to the [Eternal Eye of Moment].

This first-rank [Spiritual Energy] consumed hundreds of thousands of years of Jing Qian's lifespan and was then fully refined and enhanced by the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele].

Among the [Spiritual Ability] in the first-rank series, it is also uniquely divine and unparalleled in power.

His ability to manipulate the power of time far surpasses that of the [Insect Mother].

Admittedly, this is related to the fact that the [Insect Mother] once used a trick to control a trace of [Time Sequence], thereby advancing to the first rank.

Even so, the changes on the battlefield attracted the attention of many powerful beings on the [Chronicle of Time].

However, the past body of the [Insect Mother] was severed. Under the causal connection of the power of time, although it will not change the true past, it can disturb the power of time and severely damage the present body.

The dragonfly that had gracefully flown in suddenly twisted and completely collapsed.

The [Insect Mother] suffered extremely serious injuries, which prevented her from maintaining her avatar on the [Chronicle of Time], and she disappeared.

Jing Qian used all his trump cards and successfully repelled the formidable enemy. He dared not linger in the Great Dao Illusion any longer and quickly concealed himself, returning to the real world.

Only the [Eye of Fleeting Eternity] left an eye-like mark on the 357th scale.

He gave up all his first-grade power, but got nothing in return; it was a huge loss.

Without his trump card, he wouldn't be as confident when facing these truly powerful cultivators.

Upon returning to the [Void Realm], Jing Qian immediately began a new round of secluded cultivation.

His original intention was simply to strengthen his lifespan destiny, but he never expected it to trigger such a massive series of calamities.

Now that he has successfully overcome the tribulation once again, he has also gained a new wave of benefits, which he needs to carefully study and digest.

The ripples he stirred up on the Clock of Time were rapidly spreading, echoing throughout the myriad realms.

……

When the Clock of Time begins a new round of evolution, it essentially adds three hundred more sequences of time for later generations to comprehend.

The chance to be promoted to the first rank has increased sixfold for no reason!
It is foreseeable that the struggle over [time sequence] will be the core of the competition among these top-tier experts.

Among the current high-level cultivators, those with the ability have long been preparing for this day!
In the immediate aftermath of the upheaval in the Clock of Time, the main gates of five grand halls within the Cave of the Boundless Dynasty were opened wide.

From the [Celestial Maiden Palace] emerged Empress Tianxiang, the true Goddess of Time who wields the power of [Time Sequence].

From the [Earth Abyss Palace] emerged the Earth Empress, a spatial holy spirit who wielded the power of the void and forged the palace on the [Immortal Qi Mountain].

In the Golden Palace, the Empress emerged in human form, a woman favored by destiny and the embodiment of her spirit.

Emerging from the Silver Ring Palace is the statue of the Empress, a majestic and awe-inspiring supreme deity who wields power and the law.

Emerging from the Azure Phoenix Palace is the ghostly form of the Empress, a vengeful spirit entangled in karma, a harbinger of the mortal world's karmic turmoil and a potent poison of the mortal realm.

The appearance of five female emperors together is unprecedented; in the history of the [Wuji Heavenly Dynasty], it has only happened less than ten times.

Each time, a major event and a major cause and effect occur!
Then Tianxiang spoke:
“My four sisters, we have long been prepared for this day.”

"Please join hands and work together to achieve a good result!"

“Little sister, since you are the most restless, you should go first. The four of us will support you together.”

His expression was serious, showing none of his usual quirky and adorable side.

She looked up and answered:
"Thank you so much for your help, four sisters!"

Then, the other four avatars each unleashed a burst of [Immortal Qi], which struck the human form.

Each of the Empress's five incarnations was actually imbued with completely different [Immortal Qi].

If all five types of [Immortal Qi] on the Empress's body were dissected, it would be discovered that she had comprehended all three thousand layers of the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi].

However, these three thousand layers are scattered among the five avatars, making them extremely difficult to merge. Otherwise, she would have been able to condense a perfect [Immortal Qi].

With the assistance of four streams of [Immortal Qi], her magical power greatly increased. Then, with a flash of her divine thought, she manifested herself on the [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

[Egao Shangdi] had already advanced to the second rank long ago, and after cultivating this [Immortal Qi Mountain] for many years, he had already occupied a large territory.

The five halls within the [Dongming Palace] in the present world, as well as the [Lingxiao Palace] which receives the [Life Stele], a second-rank Grand Spirit Official of the Heavenly Dynasty, have all been condensed on the [Mountain of Immortal Qi].

The Empress, in human form, stepped out of the main hall in the [Mountain of Immortal Qi], looked up at the high sky, and then, without hesitation, transformed into a divine wind and rose up.

This time, she will gather the power of her five avatars and be the first to break through the [Clock of Time], seizing a new [Time].

As the saying goes, the first to strike wins!

This round of evolution of the "Chronological Clock" signifies the start of the "Chronological Order" debate.

The Empress will seize the four additional [Time Sequences] on her own, gaining a significant advantage.

Following closely behind the human form, the ghost form then gathered four streams of [Immortal Qi] power, which transformed into streams of [Karmic Fire] light and surged towards the [Clock of Time].

Next, the divine and earthly aspects also ascended with full force, directly entering the [Clock of Time].

【Goddess Ego】had already made thorough preparations. The four incarnations overcame numerous obstacles and joined the Heavenly Beings who were already waiting above.

Moving clockwise from the mark she occupied, four new marks were occupied by the four elements of humanity, ghosts, gods, and earth.

The Empress alone possesses five [Time Sequence] skills, and her cultivation, which had already reached a bottleneck, is now taking another step forward!
Meanwhile, many powerful cultivators also displayed their unique abilities and took action together.

……

In the story of Tianlongyuan, Ao Bao was squatting at the gate, sulking. The gate behind him was tightly closed, preventing him from entering.

At this very moment, the Celestial Ancestral Dragon and the Eternal Dragon Mother are in the main hall behind them, doing their utmost to assist Ao Bao's older sister, the Emotional Dragon Ao Ying, in advancing to the first rank.

With the help of the two dragon gods' power of time, Ao Ying was able to get in touch with the [Clock of Time] first and seize a [Time] while there was no competition.

Poor Ao Bao, as a [Mirror Dragon], had an origin no less than that of an [Emotion Dragon]. However, high-quality mirror images were hard to find, making his cultivation path extremely difficult, and he missed a golden opportunity to achieve enlightenment.

……

[Eyeless] and [True Corn] concealed their forms, transforming into light and heading towards the northern sky.

Suddenly, [Real Corn] seemed to sense something and spoke:
"Master, my eldest son has ascended the [Clock of Time]!"

"What incredible luck! His cultivation is even faster than his father's!"

[No Eyes] straightened his expression and spoke:
"Let's hurry up, lest [Yanfu] fully awaken and ruin this golden opportunity for advancement!"

……

In the endless void, there is a [Flower and Fruit Heaven], which is rich in melons, fruits, pears, and peaches, and has abundant resources.

However, this realm has somehow committed some karmic offense, as great apes and old monkeys from other universes who have attained enlightenment always come to vie for its ownership.

Although [Huaguo Tian] is rich in fruit, for a monkey of grade two or above, these fruits of grade two or below are of little use.

Gradually, the cultivators in this world discovered...

These monkeys gathered together, neither killing nor causing destruction. Apart from eating some fruit, they seemed to simply want to come here and make a name for themselves as the Monkey King of Flower Fruit Heaven.

Over the years, more than thirty large monkeys have come to this world!
Those who can traverse the void to come here must be at least great demons of the [Two-Character Stele] level or above.

These large monkeys, led by two first-rank monkey kings, split into two groups. Their daily routine consisted of nothing but cultivation and fighting.

From group attacks to one-on-one duels, from double-elimination to Swiss-system tournaments, various formats were used in turn, making for a very enjoyable experience.

Between the two monkey kings, the white monkey who wielded a large knife won more and thus called himself the "Handsome Monkey King".

The black monkey who wielded the big stick lost more often and was given the nickname "Black Monkey King".

The Black Monkey King, despite repeated defeats, never gave up, determined to crush the White Monkey and reclaim the title of Handsome Monkey King.

Unfortunately, it was countered by the white monkey's supernatural powers. Even though its magical power was stronger, it could not gain any advantage in the battle.

But on this day, while the Black Monkey King was cultivating, he sensed a strange change.

A monkey hair that I had lost many years ago has been activated by someone.

It's not surprising that many of these monkey hairs have been scattered and activated by someone.

This time, however, the place where the monkey hair was activated was the very source of that time that the Black Monkey King had longed for and desperately sought but could never reach.

It abandoned its team and went into seclusion.

Once it has fully comprehended the insights gained from the monkey hair, that will be the time for it to advance to the first rank!
At that time, in heaven and on earth, I, the Monkey King, will reign supreme!

……

A sword light stopped in the void. Ren Chong stood with his sword in hand, sensing the light silently.

Behind him, Zhu Yun and Luo Tian also quietly appeared, unaware of what was happening.

But then Ren Chong suddenly spoke up:
"Junior brother, my opportunity has arrived. If you don't seize the time to cultivate, you'll miss out on this reincarnation!" When Jing Qian used Ren Chong's sword energy to destroy the past body of the Insect Mother on the Clock of Time, Ren Chong immediately sensed it.

This great swordsman from the Pure Yang Heaven Sect had been stuck at the first rank for many years. In order to continue advancing and comprehend the power of time, he relied on his fierce swordsmanship and actively sought out powerful figures of the first rank to challenge him.

Gao Xiuquan, the Great God, was one of the victims.

Unfortunately, despite his best efforts and the ever-growing sharpness of his sword, he was always just a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending the power of time.

This is precisely the limitation of the [Pure Yang Heaven] lineage.

This bunch of ruthless brutes, who do not follow the proper methods, only dominate with their unique swordsmanship, relying on killing to achieve enlightenment and break through tribulations to cultivate.

However, on the Great Road of Time, the lack of core inheritance hinders advancement.

This is especially true after the fall of the Pure Yang Dao Ancestor, when there was no more guidance.

All the previous Pure Yang Masters were stuck at the first rank, and although they were still exceptionally powerful, no one could defeat them.

Yet, it's so rare to find someone who can truly transcend this!
On this day, Ren Chong's sword energy miraculously appeared on the Clock of Time, which meant that the opportunity to achieve enlightenment that he had worked so hard to obtain had finally arrived!

The existence of this sword light clearly revealed the direction of the Clock of Time to Ren Chong, becoming a guiding light for his advancement.

Without hesitation, Ren Chong unleashed his full power, slashing out a thunderous sword aura that pierced endlessly upwards from the void.

He pierced through the Sea of ​​Primordial Qi and the Mountain of Immortal Qi, continuing upwards towards the guiding beacon, and with a single strike, he slashed through the void.

In the end, Ren Chong successfully broke through all obstacles, descended upon the Clock of Time, and instantly seized a portion of Time.

Without pausing for a moment, he unleashed another sword strike!
With this sword, he slashed at the point where the "Great God Gao Xiuquan" was located, a point on which he had been entangled with for thousands of years and whose timelines overlapped countless times!
Although Old Deng's physical body was severed, the Life Stele on the Immortal Mountain remained standing, and the mark on the Clock of Time remained, so he was bound to be resurrected and return.

Ren Chong finally had the opportunity to eliminate this hidden danger!
From then on, the Pure Yang Heaven finally had someone who achieved the highest rank, and immediately upon entering the realm, he monopolized two of the Time Sequences.

……

This was a huge upheaval that suddenly arose, affecting almost all the opportunities for top-level cultivators to achieve enlightenment.

In the near future, many powerful beings of the first rank will take advantage of this upheaval to reach the pinnacle.

However, more schemes and killings will inevitably befall you, the great cultivators.

Before the [Chronicle of Time] begins to shrink its circle, many powerful cultivators will be trapped and perish.

As the weakest link in the control of [Time Sequence], the [Time Sequence] in Jing Qian's hands can be described as the sweetest and most tempting honey.

He had no other choice but to do everything in his power to accumulate strength as quickly as possible!
Within the [Virtual Realm], Jing Qian finally grasped most of the two major gains from this upheaval.

That [Eye of Eternal Moment] had its power elevated to an unbelievable level, creating an omniscient and omnipotent divine eye, and granting Jing Qian the extraordinary power to see through the past and deduce the future.

With this power, he can slash through the past and reflect into the future. Even a great cultivator, whose cultivation of time is insufficient, can be slashed.

It can be said that with this divine eye, he has already acquired a trace of the essence of a first-rank official in terms of power level.

Unfortunately, this [Eternal Moment Eye] can only be activated by [Immortal Qi].

Jing Qian's ability to condense Golden Immortal spiritual energy at the Earthly Fiend level is already incredibly lucky; he's struck gold.

He still has a long way to go before he can condense his immortal energy.

Without the [Immortal Qi] within him, he could at most unleash one or two tenths of the power of this divine eye, which was far from enough to match that one degree of [Time Sequence].

The sword strike that wounded the [Insect Mother] in the past was entirely due to the magical power boost brought about by the burning of a massive amount of lifespan by the [Sculpture of Wisdom].

He essentially sacrificed a massive amount of his lifespan to temporarily replace [Immortal Qi] as his energy source.

This is undoubtedly a rather wasteful driving method!

After all, within his system, lifespan is still very useful.

He still possesses a wealth of "spiritual potential" waiting for further advancement.

He gained a lot from the line on the [Clock of Time], but he had exhausted all his trump cards of first-grade power, and the upper limit of his offensive capabilities had been significantly reduced.

Compared to before, his normal combat strength has significantly improved at this moment, and he can now unleash the power of the [Six-Character Stele].

However, even when he frantically burned his lifespan and fully activated the power of the [Eternal Eye of Moment], the upper limit of his offensive capabilities was still significantly lower than that of [Ren Chong] and [Black Monkey King].

He needs to keep a lower profile and try to stay within circles below the second rank, avoiding provoking powerful cultivators.

Besides the divine eye, Jing Qian's second greatest gain was the mysterious [Time Sequence] destiny.

The Great Path of Time is magnificent and mysterious, and can be considered the most extraordinary among the many great paths.

This extraordinary destiny, which is sublimated from the fate of lifespan, occupies a unique position in the Great Dao.

It took Jing Qian quite a while to fully grasp the power of [Time Sequence].

With the blessing of [Time Sequence], he possessed the ticket to comprehend and cultivate the Great Dao of Time.

From this day forward, he can incorporate the Great Dao of Time into his own power system as an effective supplement.

For other cultivators at a high level, their own power systems are already complete, leaving no room for increasing their power.

The benefits that this ticket can bring are not enough to bring about a qualitative change.

However, for Jing Qian, his cultivation had only just entered the [Earthly Fiend] level, and he still had plenty of [Life Destiny] left.

Obtaining this precious ticket is enough for him to open a new path, the path of the Lord of Time, in addition to the paths of the Lord of Calamity and the Lord of Hell.

This path exists in the void, and few people cultivate it, so there is no corresponding lineage. Jing Qian can only rely on himself.

He pondered carefully, seemingly gaining some insight, but still needed to plan and study it thoroughly.

Furthermore, the power of [Time Sequence] is the superior substitute for the [Lifespan] destiny.

When he merges with [Time Order], he can anchor his lifespan to the [Time Order Clock] and receive the blessing of the power of time in the void.

This anchoring is very unique and can be understood as a restart and refresh of time.

To give a simple example, at this time, Jingqian was over 12,400 years old.

After anchoring his lifespan to the Clock of Time, he can freely consume his lifespan.

[Time Sequence] can accumulate the power of time from the lifespan consumed, and condense it into the number of refreshes.

Whenever his lifespan is consumed to more than 70%, he will receive a refreshed level.

Activating this refresh will trigger the divine power of the [Chronicle of Time], thus restoring one's lifespan.

From then on, they were forever freed from the constraints of lifespan and no longer worried about the end of their lives.

Jing Qian was still worried that activating the [Eternal Eye of Fleeting Moments] would consume too much of his lifespan.

However, with this [Time Sequence], the more he consumes, the faster it refreshes, and thus the more times it can be recycled.

Despite having a lifespan of only a little over ten thousand years, he lived a very frugal life.

However, it can be refreshed once every 8,700 years, and its lifespan will be fully restored.

It was as if he had an extra credit card, with a low limit but one that he could never spend all of.

At this moment, his desire to consume has reached a new peak!
The [Sculpting of Wisdom] was activated directly, landing on the [Array Nail] spiritual energy, and began to re-refine this fourth-grade [Spiritual Energy].

Now that lifespan is no longer a constraint, high-grade [Spiritual Ability] is free from the burden of pressure.

Jing Qian enjoyed the benefits of Zheng Yipin Da Neng ahead of time.

Moreover, compared to other cultivators with high cultivation levels, his [Sumeru Great Dao Stele], which allows him to become stronger simply by spending his life, is undoubtedly the most compatible cheat code with [Time Sequence].

He was naturally going all out, making use of his lifespan to cultivate and improve at an astounding pace.

After a day, his nine thousand years of lifespan were burned out, and Jing Qian replenished his lifespan with a single refresh.

Looking at the [Array Nail] spirit, it has already reached the third rank of mastery and can be promoted to the second rank at any time.

This [Array Nail] is inherently weak, making advancement quite difficult, and it also consumes a great deal of lifespan.

But Jingqian no longer had any concept of cost-effectiveness.

He simply planned to max out all the "spiritual potential" or "destiny" within his cultivation system that could benefit from the "Sculpting of Wisdom Source"!

This is undoubtedly a huge project!

But for Jingqian, this was just a happy trouble.

Where can a third-rank [Array Nail] be placed on a table?

Keep spending money on me!
