Chapter 3356: The Law of Time and Royal Grade Pills
“Then how should I pa.s.s through this Formation?” Duan Ling Tian went straight to the point.
“With our powers, there’s no need for you to worry. We’ll act according to the situation,” the World Cleansing Divine Water said, “Don’t forget, our combined strength is more powerful than that of a seventh-form Divine Element. This Formation won’t pose a problem to you. Moreover, this is only the first of the tests in the secret zone. If you can’t even pa.s.s the first test, how are you going to face other tests in the future?”
Duan Ling Tian realized he had been too cautious and pessimistic upon hearing the World Cleansing Divine Water’s words. Ever since he heard the Purgatory Battlefield was created by supreme powerhouses, he had subconsciously thought of it as a difficult and dangerous place.
Following that, Duan Ling Tian no longer hesitated and led Huan’er and Little Gold away. As they traveled on the path to the entrance of the palace, the statues came to life one after another and attacked Duan Ling Tian. However, he discovered the strongest of the statues was only comparable to a Ten Directions Celestial Lord who had comprehended all profundities to the mastery stage. Such strength was no threat to him at all. Therefore, the trio successfully entered the palace.
As soon as Duan Ling Tian stepped foot into the palace, he suddenly came to a halt. He could sense a law that he was familiar with.
“The law of time?”
As soon as they entered the palace, Duan Ling Tian discovered that their movements and time seemed to have slowed down tremendously.
Huan’er asked curiously, “Brother Ling Tian, is this the law of time?”
“Yes.” Duan Ling Tian nodded solemnly. Although he had briefly comprehended the law of time in the past, he did not successfully comprehend the Fundamental Profundity from the law of time because he was too focused on the law of s.p.a.ce. He felt that this was an opportunity for him to comprehend the law of time.
“Time Elemental Profundity…” Duan Ling Tian focused his mind. He raised his hand, and his Celestial Origin Energy surged out with a raise of his hand. In just a moment, he felt as though he had been enlightened.
“This… This is the Time Elemental Profundity?” At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt as though he had grasped the fundamentals of the law of time. Naturally, this was just the first step. After all, the power of the law of time did not come from its Fundamental Profundity alone, but it came from the combination of all the profundities.
“If I can comprehend the law of time, I’ll be able to control the speed of time. In fact, after comprehending it to a certain stage, I can even stop time.” Duan Ling Tian was aware of how formidable the law of time was. Similar to the law of s.p.a.ce, the law of time, also one of the Four Supreme Laws, was not easy to comprehend. Moreover, it was also much more powerful compared to the other Supreme Laws. Perhaps, due to its difficulty, he had never met an opponent who had comprehended the law of time.
‘Although the law of time is powerful, I’ll have to start from the beginning if I want to comprehend it. I’ve comprehended the law of s.p.a.ce to such a stage that I don’t have much time to comprehend the law of time. Moreover, after becoming a Celestial Emperor, I’ll have to focus on fusing my profundities through the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity.’ Duan Ling Tian was aware that it would not be time-effective for him to comprehend the law of time now so he was not too excited when he comprehended the Time Elemental Profundity.
After Duan Ling Tian sorted his thoughts, he asked, “Little Gold, what’s in this secret zone? Is it Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills that can boost a Celestial Lord’s strength?”
Duan Ling Tian’s main purpose for coming to the Purgatory Battlefield was to obtain Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills that would boost his cultivation base. He wanted to become a Celestial Emperor as quickly as he could to improve his comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce. Otherwise, as long as he was not a Celestial Emperor, he would not be able to improve his comprehension of the law of s.p.a.ce by fusing profundities.
Due to the treasures in the secret zones, many Celestial Lords flocked to the Purgatory Battlefield even though it was deadly and fraught with danger. Otherwise, why would these Celestial Lords risk their lives to come to such a deadly place?
Little Gold smiled before she replied, “Brother Ling Tian, whether it’s this secret zone or other secret zones, Celestial Fruits and Celestial Pills are the most basic treasures in the secret zones. The most valuable treasures one can obtain in a secret zone are Divine Artifacts and things that can help with one’s comprehension of the law. There are other treasures as well that are only beneficial to those who aren’t humans. You can use these treasures to trade with non-humans…’
Duan Ling Tian discovered the Celestial Fruits and the Celestial Pills he coveted were not considered valuable at all in the secret zones after listening to Little Gold’s words.
Following that, Duan Ling Tian continued walking. After he left the main hall, he encountered another test in one of the hallways.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Dark figures shot out from the shadows and began to attack at lightning speed.
Before Huan’er and Little Gold could react, the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword spun out and easily destroyed the dark figures.
As the trio continued down the hallway, they were attacked by the dark figures nine times. Each time they appeared, they would grow stronger. Nevertheless, they did not pose any problem to Duan Ling Tian’s Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword. Even the strongest among the dark figures only lasted a short moment against the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword.
This was not surprising since the Seven Orifices Exquisite Sword that had been boosted by the powers of the Five Divine Elements had boosted Duan Ling Tian’s strength so much that he was even stronger than most ordinary t.i.tled Celestial Emperor.
At this moment, Little Gold could not help but grumble, “We weren’t rewarded for the first test. Don’t tell me we’re not going to be rewarded after this round of tests as well!”
Duan Ling Tian shook his head before he said, “If I’m not mistaken, the reward for the first test should be the chance to comprehend the law of time.” He had comprehended the Fundamental Profundity from the law of time in an abnormally short time after all.
“What? Just that? Can that even be counted as a reward? How ridiculous. Whoever can comprehend the law of time in the time it took to enter the hallway must be a monstrous genius! It’s clearly an impossible feat!” Little Gold frowned.
Little Gold was right. If Duan Ling Tian did not encounter the law of time in the past, he would have not have been able to comprehend the Time Elemental Profundity from the law of time earlier.
Duan Ling Tian smiled. “It’s not completely useless. It serves to build your foundation. If we encounter the law of time again, our comprehension will surely deepen…” He was confident about this since it was precisely because he had encountered the law of time in the past that he managed to quickly comprehend the Time Elemental Profundity earlier.
Swoos.h.!.+
The moment Duan Ling Tian’s voice fell, a gentle breeze blew in the hallway, causing him to instinctively raise his head. Soon after, he discovered a bottle of pills had appeared in his hand.
Duan Ling Tian looked at the bottle of the pills for a moment. “These are Royal Grade Pills?”
“Royal Grade Pills?” Little Gold’s eyes lit up when she heard Duan Ling Tian’s words. She looked at the words on the bottle before she said, “Brother Ling Tian, these pills can boost the cultivation bases of Celestial Lords, and they were refined by Royal Grade Celestial Alchemists at the very least. However, you can only consume Royal Grade Pills three times. After that, they won’t be effective. Since you don’t know what they are, I a.s.sume you’ve never eaten Royal Grade Celestial Pills…”
When Little Gold was in the Blood Moon Ridge, she had eaten Royal Grade Pills so she was somewhat knowledgeable. Since she had already consumed Royal Grade Pills thrice, the pills were no longer useful to her.
“Boost the cultivation bases of Celestial Lords?” Duan Ling Tian’s eyes brightened. Indeed. Not only had he never eaten Royal Grade Pills before, but he had never seen them before as well. Due to the rarity of Celestial Pills that could boost his strength, he had never eaten any Celestial Pills after becoming a Celestial Lord. After all, Royal Grade Celestial Alchemists and those at a higher stage who could refine such pills were rare. Most heaven-grade forces and a small number of Heavenly Emperors’ forces did not have such Celestial Alchemists. Apart from the Heavenly Emperors’ forces, perhaps, only those heaven-grade forces with a long history had such Celestial Alchemists.
When Duan Ling Tian looked into the pill bottle, he discovered there were ten Royal Grade Pills. After giving three pills to Huan’er, he asked, “Little Gold, how long would it take us to absorb the efficacy of the pills after eating it?”
