The Legend of the Great Desolation: I Am the Fortress

Chapter 98: Development. My name is Bodhi!

Xuanyou Valley.

A thin old man in Taoist robes appeared out of nowhere in the dim space.

Above the space, endless clouds and fog blocked out all light.

Under the clouds and mist, the void within a radius of ten thousand miles was completely shattered, and the dark and powerful force of time and space disorder filled the air.

The thin old man in Taoist robes looked at the shattered void below, with a look of peace of mind in his eyes that made people feel it involuntarily.

"These two little guys are truly blessed with great luck. Being swept into this sudden outbreak of space-time chaos, they not only made it through unscathed, but were also able to perceive the gentle power of space and time with incredible clarity."

A faint smile appeared on the face of the thin old man in Taoist robes. He took a step forward and immediately arrived at a place in the void thousands of miles away.

Wherever he passed, the time and space around him were peaceful and gentle.

The terrifying force of time and space strangling in the shattered void seemed like an extremely well-behaved little beast to him.

"A thousand years in a moment?"

"Interesting. He actually comprehended a bit of the power of time and space on his own without any guidance from any method?"

suddenly.

The thin old man in Taoist robes stared intently, a hint of doubt suddenly appearing in his eyes. "The power of time and space chaos here can at least keep these two little guys here for tens of thousands of years before slowly dissipating..."

"Weird thing!"

With his knowledge of time and space, he naturally saw at a glance the one hundred-foot immortal residence and the two figures sitting cross-legged in the void among the countless fragments of space and time disorder.

"It seems that even if I don't take action, this space will collapse on its own in no time."

The thin old man in Taoist robes shook his head. "But after being in accelerated time for a thousand years, these two little guys are both at the level of celestial immortals. Only one year in the outside world is over a hundred years inside. It is reasonable that the power of time and space has begun to collapse."

Wow.

He took another step forward, and the thin old man in Taoist robes suddenly disappeared in this broken land of void.

……

In the endless dark void, Leizhan and Fairy Wangshu sat cross-legged in the air, with the mysterious aura of Tao surrounding them.

"The power of time... the power of space..."

"I see."

Lei Zhan slowly opened his eyes, with an astonishing light in them.

He put his two fingers together to form a sword finger and lightly drew it in the air.

A faint golden light suddenly appeared above the sword finger.

A golden light flashed across, and time and space were distorted.

In an instant, the chaotic force of time and space around, like flowing water, seemed to stagnate for a moment.

"Hmm?" Fairy Wangshu, who was not far away, seemed to have sensed something and immediately opened her eyes.

Her gaze fell on the golden light that had not yet dissipated from Leizhan's fingertips, and there was a hint of joy in her eyes, "Leizhan, can you merge the power of time and the power of space?"

"Yeah." Leizhan also had a faint smile on his face.

"Just now. With the blessing of my soul, everything came naturally and merged together."

"A full four hundred years. You've integrated the power of time and space." Fairy Wangshu said happily, "It won't be long before we can leave."

A thousand years of time may not be worth mentioning to a cultivator, but being trapped and forced to practice in seclusion and practicing voluntarily in a cave are two different situations.

Besides, this place is a place where time and space are disordered. Although the time and space in front of us are as plain as gurgling water, there is no danger at the moment.

But in this place where time and space are disordered, for cultivators like Duilizhan and Fairy Wangshu, who are not even gods or true immortals, it is like walking on a tightrope on a cliff. If they are not careful, they will be doomed.

"My power of time and space are both at the first level. Although I have comprehended the power of time and space, I can only barely integrate the two, and I can't achieve the perfect harmony I want." Lei Zhan sighed, "It's too difficult to fully comprehend this original power."

Over the past thousand years, Lei Zhan has been concentrating on comprehending the avenues of time and space.

Thanks to the special environment under the disorder of time and space, in the three hundred years since he came to this space, his already deep understanding of the avenue of space finally reached a level comparable to the tenth style of Hongxue Spear Technique, and he even directly comprehended a trace of the original power of space.

Time and space complement each other. If you understand the avenue of space, you can also apply it to the avenue of time, and the speed of comprehension will become faster.

In the 600th year, Lei Zhan's comprehension of the Great Dao of Time had almost reached the level of the tenth style of Hongxue Spear Technique, and he also comprehended a trace of the power of the origin of time.

And in the last four hundred years, Lei Zhan has been trying to combine the first-level power of time with the power of space to form the true power of time and space.

However, the power of origin is a powerful force that can only be accessed after one has fully understood the entire avenue. Generally, only those at the level of gods and immortals are qualified to access it.

Even in the past thousand years, Lei Zhan had used the black beads to gain enlightenment time and time again, and even completely understood the avenue of space. The avenue of time had also reached the final bottleneck. Only today did he begin to combine the power of time and the power of space.

"You..." Fairy Wangshu said helplessly, "You have completely comprehended a great way at the Return to Void level, and even the Great Way of Time is only a little bit away from the bottleneck."

"The other three great ways have also reached extremely deep levels. Now, the two fundamental powers that I have comprehended are combined together to form the terrifying power of time and space!"

"It's only been a thousand years! With such a monstrous and invincible person, what else do you want to do?"

"Even if the environment is special, which cultivator would not spend tens of millions of years to fully comprehend an entire avenue?"

“There are quite a few who haven’t made any progress even after tens of millions of years!” You should know that Fairy Wangshu is already considered a genius. The Avenue of Time is already at the level of the Avenue Domain. Although the Avenue of Space is deeper, for thousands of years, she has only barely understood the general idea of ​​the Avenue of Space. She is still a little short of truly understanding it.

This was something I only fully understood after discussing it with Leizhan every once in a while and being touched by it.

As for the Avenue of Time, we are still a long way from being fully comprehended.

As for the power of origin, it is only a glimpse of the power of space.

But even so, it is already outrageous enough to say it out loud!
How many top-tier immortals have gone through millions of years without making any progress! They are strong enough, but they just can't comprehend the great Dao, can't comprehend the original power.

Leizhan suddenly laughed.

"That's true! Once my source power becomes stronger, my second soul will be ready to survive the heavenly tribulation."

"Survive the Heavenly Tribulation? We have to get out of here first!"

Fairy Wangshu looked at Leizhan and had apparently regained her composure.

"In this damn place, the three disasters that occur every three hundred years and the catastrophe that occurs every nine hundred years are all hidden and invisible, let alone surviving the heavenly tribulation."

"Let's continue to comprehend it. Once I fully comprehend the Great Dao of Space, my Second Soul will be able to break through to the Pure Yang True Immortal immediately. By then, it will be a way to escape."

Leizhan nodded.

If Fairy Wangshu breaks through to the Pure Yang True Immortal, she will be even stronger and possess an innate mid-grade spiritual treasure. She should be considered quite good among the Pure Yang True Immortals.

Be optimistic, maybe you can really get out!
No more talking, this dark space fell into silence again.

"Unfortunately, my understanding of the Avenue of Time has reached a bottleneck." Lei Zhan withdrew his gaze and thought secretly in his heart.

The Great Dao is vast, and the further you go, the more difficult it becomes to comprehend. Understanding it completely is even more difficult, and it's naturally not that easy to comprehend a Great Dao completely.

Over the past thousand years, there has been continuous progress, and the progress in the avenues of time and space has been the most astonishing.

But even though Lei Zhan had an incredible comprehension and was in a place where time and space were disordered, after the avenue of space reached the final bottleneck, it took him nearly ten opportunities for enlightenment before he finally understood it thoroughly.

The Avenue of Spear, the Avenue of Fire, and the Avenue of Water are also progressing in parallel. Although they cannot be compared with the Avenue of Time and the Avenue of Space, they have all reached a level comparable to the tenth and eleventh styles of Hongxue Spear Technique, and are not too far from complete understanding.

Lei Zhan gathered all the thoughts in his mind and then put his mind into the empty purple palace space.

There, a fist-sized black bead was slightly dim and inconspicuous among the magic weapons.

"For thousands of years, I have been frequently using opportunities for enlightenment, and the 'galaxy' in the bead has never appeared again." Lei Zhan thought secretly in his heart.

"It's very likely that this 'galaxy' is also like enlightenment, requiring time to accumulate some kind of energy. But in this dangerous place, time is precious. We can only try it slowly after we get out."

The only thing that made Leizhan feel regretful during these thousand years was that he was unable to explore the other magical use of the black beads.

The black bead's initial deduction and enlightenment played an indispensable role in his understanding of the Great Dao of Space! Just that one time allowed Jie Zhan to completely transcend the realm of the Great Dao of Space, from the initial entry point.

If I were to do it again, I wouldn’t even have to worry about the last bottleneck on the Avenue of Time.

……

Time passes, and in the blink of an eye another hundred years have passed.

"I've finally figured it out! I've finally figured out the Great Dao of Space!"

A slightly excited voice echoed from the dark void.

Leizhan opened his eyes and looked directly over.

Fairy Wangshu stood up from the void where she had been sitting cross-legged. Around her, the ancient and majestic atmosphere of the Great Dao permeated the air.

Over the past thousand years, Fairy Wangshu often sat and discussed Taoism with Leizhan, and the most discussed and fastest growing topic was the Avenue of Space.

Now, it has borne fruit.

"Wangshu, you have also realized the truth!" Leizhan also had a smile on his face.

Fairy Wangshu’s understanding of the great Dao is different from his.

For a cultivator who has survived a heavenly tribulation, understanding a great path means that he has successfully crossed the biggest threshold to becoming a Pure Yang True Immortal.

As long as one can fully comprehend the five minor paths of the Five Elements and combine them with the major path that one has comprehended, Fairy Wangshu's second soul will be able to directly break through from a celestial immortal to become a pure yang true immortal.

suddenly.

"Hmm?" Lei Zhan frowned slightly and suddenly looked towards a place in the dark void.

"That is……"

"After more than 1,100 years, you have been able to fully comprehend the great Dao of space. Not bad, not bad."

A thin old man in a Taoist robe suddenly appeared in this dark space, looking at the fairy Wangshu whose aura was rising in the distance.

"Building Exhibition."

When the thin old man in Taoist robe saw Lei Zhan looking at him, a smile appeared on his face and he nodded slightly.

"My name is Bodhi!"
