Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2453 Getting stronger with old age
Of the three great supernatural powers, spatial supernatural powers are relatively the easiest to master. For example, Jin Ge's large sleeve is a similar ability.

While it may not be as impressive as having a hidden space within one's sleeve, having space within one's sleeve is already quite remarkable.

Things like the True Venerable's cave dwelling... are basically products that can only appear after one has a certain understanding of the rules of space.

It can be said that the cave dwelling is the manifestation of spatial supernatural powers, and even if it is said to be a substitute... there is nothing wrong with that.

However, to elevate spatial supernatural powers to the level of spatial field is beyond the capabilities of a True Venerable.

It is said... just said that some Divine Lords can do this, but for the True Venerable, it is a legendary existence.

The power of time manipulation is even more difficult. At the True Venerable level, adjusting the time difference appropriately doesn't seem to be too difficult.

Just like the Black Steed Tower, it is a rare treasure for those below the True Venerable level, but for those at the Out-of-Body True Venerable level... it doesn't really matter.

It's just a slight change in the time difference, and the ratio won't be very high; it also has to be under specific conditions.

True time manipulation is a technique that allows one to participate in battle instantly, without being subject to any prerequisites.

For example, if a true master could cultivate the supernatural power of time, he would have reason to boast.

As for elevating the power of time to a field? That's beyond the capabilities of any True Venerable.

Even no true master can be certain whether such a field truly exists; they can only say that it might theoretically be possible.

As for the power of fate... that's a bit of a tangent, let's get back to it later.

Speaking of time-related supernatural powers alone, no true master dares to claim that they have truly mastered them—at most, they have thoroughly understood some of the rules of time.

Qu Jianlei, on the other hand, has just stepped into the True Venerable Realm!

There are rumors within Lingyun that when Master Quling was in the Nascent Soul stage, he seemed to have mastered some minor or pseudo-supernatural abilities related to time.

But just listen to these kinds of things and don't take them too seriously. What are these pseudo-supernatural powers and minor supernatural powers? They've just figured out a little bit of the rules of time.
Time rules are truly rare, and even True Venerables must fight for them for treasures, but... who says Nascent Soul cultivators can't obtain them?
Elder Youjian didn't believe that the other party could use time magic when he had just stepped into the threshold of True Venerable.

You could say that even if you take this as a joke, it's the kind of lame joke that's completely unfunny.

Minor supernatural powers are indeed possible, but even the strongest minor supernatural powers are no match for the field-based "Primordial Chaos".

That's a crushing defeat in terms of the hierarchy of rules. Just like water can extinguish fire, but oil fires will still burn on the surface of water.

So what if it's a minor time-manipulation ability? It's still a minor ability, too low-level, and practically useless against a solid defensive field!
However, when Elder Youjian saw the vortex, folds, chaos, and so on contained in that eye, he instantly realized what was going on.

The power of time, absolutely the power of time... it's the power of time itself!

To be honest, he has lived for over five thousand years and has never seen any real time-related supernatural powers.

But this does not hinder his perception of the rules of time, nor does it prevent him from having instinctive intuition!
Damn it... At this moment, he really wanted to curse. Xuan Yi told you to attack three times, and you actually used the Time Divine Power?
Xuan Yi used to be his younger brother and received a lot of care from him. Even after being expelled from Lingyun, the two continued to associate with each other.

In fact, Xuan Yi is not young anymore, just 5,100 years old, and basically has no hope of breaking through to the Divine Realm.

For someone like Qingkong Zhenzun, who is over four thousand years old, exploring other worlds is the most urgent thing, because there is still a great chance of advancing to the next level.

Theoretically speaking, the probability of breaking through to the Divine Realm before the age of 5,500 is not much different, but in practice, it is not that simple.

They're over 5,000 years old and haven't even reached the Divine Realm yet. Is it really just a matter of a few hundred years?
Xuan Yi has also entered retirement age, just not as old as You Jian.

He wasn't particularly interested in exploring other worlds.

Although there may be tremendous opportunities there, doesn't seizing those opportunities require risk and battle?

Let alone what if he gets injured, even if the damage is too severe, it may not be able to heal for one or two hundred years.

Just look at how Qu Jianlei and his group of five explored the other world; that's enough to explain the problem.

Four of the five were True Venerables. Not to mention the Nascent Soul cultivator who was more familiar with the environment, which True Venerable wasn't cautious?
Not to mention that the calculations need to be done on a rotation system, even if the consumption is slightly high, we must stop and recover when the time is right, and no one dares to rush.

Take Qingkong as another example. He dares to try because even if he gets injured, as long as he can get the opportunity, he will have time to recover when he comes back.

Even so, the over four-thousand-year-old Grand Protector was single-mindedly eager to set off, which is the urgency brought about by time.

To go exploring another world at over five thousand years old... that's risking one's life. It's not impossible, but only a madman would consider it.

Just like Fang Qingyang of the Fang family, even though he was almost in despair, he still took a gamble to break through to the Out-of-Body stage.

It was precisely for this reason that the other Nascent Soul cultivators in the Fang family had no choice but to ruthlessly kill their superiors—the patriarch had gone mad, and he had to be killed.

Xuan Yi didn't want to play these high-stakes games. Whether it's being a person or cultivating oneself, sometimes you have to learn to accept your fate.

He allows his own children to go on adventures in other worlds—after all, they still have a future to look forward to.

But for him, at most he can only go to other worlds to help protect the Dharma; as for those opportunities... he'll just leave it to fate.

He knew he had to accept his age. In this situation, being unwilling to accept it was tantamount to overestimating his abilities and bringing disaster upon the family.

However, at the same time, he had been associating with Elder Youjian for a long time and had also picked up some of his bad habits.

To be precise, he was getting old. Although it was inconvenient for him to claim seniority with Youjian, he still regarded the other True Venerables as his juniors.

This kind of mentality among the elderly is not surprising. After all, the cultivation world also emphasizes respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Whether or not it can be done, it is at least the right thing to do.

However, he didn't do a good job of accepting his age; he often tried to assert his authority.

When he learned that Elder Youjian had been overtaken by a newly promoted junior True Venerable, he immediately felt a sense of shared hatred and indignation.

If it weren't for this emotion, based solely on their friendship, he wouldn't have acted so radically.

Elder Youjian retreated frantically, almost using his strongest divine sense to warn his old friend.

He absolutely dared not dabble in the power of time, because his remaining lifespan was only about three hundred years.

The opponent's supernatural power should not have reached the level of "a thousand years in a glance", but even if it were a hundred years in a glance, he could not bear it!
The more someone enjoys relying on their age and seniority, the more they relish the feeling of being bossy, the less willing they are to die!
Elder Youjian was especially aware that even his old friend couldn't bear it, as he was over 5,100 years old after all!

As he frantically retreated, a deep sense of regret welled up within him.

If I had known this guy was such a freak, why the hell would I have taken on this mess?
He regretted it, and Xuan Yi was also a little surprised: Was that glance from the other party really a time-manipulation technique?

Different lineages, different perspectives, different experiences... Although the two Venerable Ones are friends, their views also differ to some extent.

In the end, he still couldn't quite believe that the other party, who had just entered the True Venerable realm, could actually use the Time Divine Power—or was it a minor divine power?

That one glance did indeed make him feel unprecedented pressure, but he still wanted to try... to see if he could withstand it.

Even though the Primordial Chaos Domain couldn't withstand it, he still brought out his family's trump card, the "Five Directions Cloud Brocade Canopy".

This is a Nascent Soul level treasure, also used for defense.

It is especially effective in defending against some abnormal damage, such as lightning spells, soul attacks, and even in obscuring some of the cause and effect.

Ever since he decided to participate in this battle, he had considered all sorts of possibilities, such as his own domain being breached by a powerful magic weapon.

This possibility is extremely low, but as a cultivator, he will take every battle seriously.

So he still brought this treasure with him, just in case.

With the strongest defensive field and a Nascent Soul-level defensive treasure, he felt it was definitely worth a try.

However, the truth is not as simple as just "being unconvinced".

Xuan Yi Zhenzun elevated the power of carrying objects to the level of a field, but at the same time, he severely reduced his own movement speed.

The ability to carry objects is the strongest defense, but it also has its drawbacks, one of which is poor mobility during its use.

This shouldn't be a big deal, as no technique is perfect; every method has its strengths and weaknesses.

However, the frustrating thing is that Xuan Yi Zhenzun had only raised his supernatural powers to the level of a field less than two hundred years ago.

Improving this supernatural ability is extremely difficult. After careful consideration, he decided to give up on mobility and focus on building up his defense first.

In other words, so far, he has not completely perfected the object-carrying field and there are obvious shortcomings.

If he has enough time in the future, he will consider improving this shortcoming and summarizing his experiences to pass on...

But now... isn't this something we haven't had time to do yet?
The newly promoted True Venerable opposite him raised his body, and Xuan Yi originally thought that the other party did not want to lose in terms of momentum.

Now he understands that only by enlarging his body can the power of this gaze be fully unleashed.

It will cover a much wider range and effectively enhance output and power.

Now, just the scope of this area is giving him a huge headache—the larger the area, the harder it is for him to escape!
If you want to escape quickly, you can only remove the field, but what if the opponent launches another attack at that time?

If we think about it another way, what if the opponent's second attack is a feint, and he gets scared and withdraws his field? Wouldn't that be falling into a trap?

Xuan Yi enjoys using cunning tactics in battles, and he doesn't think such behavior is shameful.

Since it's a battle, you should naturally try every means to win, as long as you don't use forbidden methods.

As someone who is used to using underhanded tactics, I will naturally guard against others using similar methods.

Hsuan-Yi believes that if she falls for such a trap and loses in her area of ​​expertise, that would be a real disgrace!

Moreover, if he doesn't dare to take the challenge head-on, it's essentially the same as admitting defeat—so what's the point of him stepping forward to accept the challenge?
Having said all that, Venerable Xuan Yi believes that, from any perspective, it is necessary to make eye contact with the other party.
