Chapter 145 - 145 The Dao of Time
""Is this the Dao of Time?""
Looking at the bright glow in his right hand, Shun Long had fallen into deep contemplation.
The look in Little Black"s eyes however, was unable to hide his shock and excitement.
With his experience, how could the dragon not understand, that Shun Long had already touched upon the Dao of Time?!
""It only took master, as a mere rank 7 earth grade cultivator, a week to start comprehending the Dao? This...""
Even with Shun Long"s extraordinary affinity with the element of s.p.a.ce, he still hadn"t managed to touch upon the s.p.a.ce Dao, despite having already reached the pinnacle of the second stage in the "Monarch"s Eternal body".
And yet, comprehension in the Dao of Time seemed to have come extremely naturally.
As the black dragon was absorbed in his thoughts, Shun Long released his "Monarch"s Domain" as the invisible figure of an hourgla.s.s expanded from his body.
At the same time, looking at the blue glow in his hand, his golden eyes shone as if he had just come to a realization
""That"s right. If my "Monarch"s Domain" can be used to halt, or slow down the flow of time inside it, then why can"t it also amplify it?""
The blue glow around his hand then expanded in the air, as it merged with the invisible figure of the hourgla.s.s around him.
Shun Long could feel an imperceptible change happening in the "Monarch"s Domain", while his control over it had suddenly increased.
With a simple thought, the flow of time around Shun Long then started to change.
The time inside the "Monarch"s Domain", was now flowing twice as fast, compared to the outside world.
""This is not yet my limit...""
After injecting even more of his qi in the "Monarch"s Domain", the flow of time around him was now 6 times faster than normal, when Shun Long finally realized a problem.
Sitting cross-legged on the red cushion, his eyes fell on the blue glow in his hand as he said
""Using the "Monarch"s Domain" this way, would not only cause it to lose its original properties, but it would also amplify the speed of anyone else who enters inside it as well.""
More than an hour pa.s.sed while Shun Long was pondering over this problem, when his eyes suddenly lit up, as another thought came on his mind
""What if...?""
Activating the "Monarch"s Domain" once again, Shun Long didn"t change anything in it this time.
Instead, the bright blue glow in his hand changed.
At the same time as Shun Long was still experimenting with his "Monarch"s Domain" and the Dao of Time, inside the third trial, Liu Changpun was fighting with more than 20 water pythons.
The pythons seemed to have surrounded him, as they attacked relentlessly from all fronts.
Cui Guoliang looked at him, as he clapped his hands and said
""Come on little beggar kid. If you don"t even try to attack the pythons, then how do you expect to beat them?""
Crack
Crack!
Under the unceasing attacks of the pythons, Liu Changpun"s ice shield barely managed to last for a few minutes, before it finally broke into pieces.
Liu Changpun fell back, as he waved his hands, creating a huge ice wall in a desperate attempt to stall the pythons, as he tried to open up the distance between them.
Cui Guoliang however just smiled, as the pythons crashed on the wall head-on, destroying it in an instant as their attacks then continued on Liu Changpun"s body.
Less than 10 breaths of time later, Liu Changpun"s body was covered in injuries, while he even lacked the strength to stand up on his own.
From the corner of his eyes, he saw Cui Guoliang looking at him, before he shouted
""Master! Please accept me as your disciple!""
Cui Guoliang slowly walked up to Liu Changpun"s body, and looking at him he said
""Little beggar kid, you are not fit to become my disciple. How many times are you still going to ask?
You should know that I am not looking for a disciple to begin with...
I know what you really want, but if you think that you can get your hands, on the dragon lord"s medallion by begging, then you must really be an idiot.""
Liu Changpun"s face immediately turned red when he heard this, but he actually didn"t refute any of Cui Guoliang"s words. Instead, he shouted loudly once again
""Senior! Just give me a chance.""
Finally, the look in Cui Guoliang"s face changed, as his left foot angrily kicked Liu Changpun"s body, sending him flying to the golden door behind him.
Then, without another word, he returned back to his throne, as he stared at the golden door with eyes full of anger.
Back in his room, Shun Long noticed that the "seal" character had just disappeared from the golden door, but he didn"t pay any attention to it, as he started walking around the room.
However, barely 5 minutes later, Shun Long"s breathing had turned uneven as he sat back on the red cushion, and started recovering his qi.
3 hours later he stood up, as he slowly walked towards the golden door.
Once again, the scene in his eyes changed, as he found himself inside the throne room, with the same golden-haired young man sitting on the throne.
Cui Guoliang"s eyes lit up, as he saw Shun Long entering the hall.
Annoyed from Liu Changpun"s earlier behavior, he decided to punish Shun Long a bit and vent his residual anger.
Waving his hand, 5 water pythons appeared in front of him, as they instantly flew towards Shun Long.
Shun Long was shocked to see 5 pythons this time instead of 2, but with a slight smile on his face, he activated his golden eyes as well as the "Monarch"s Domain".
This time, a faint blue light was also coming from Shun Long"s body, as he watched the 5 pythons that were flying at him.
Cui Guoliang waited expectantly for the pythons to hit Shun Long"s body, but the moment that they arrived in front of him, Shun Long suddenly vanished.
