#2330 - Flower of Time

They continued to delve deeper into the tunnel, not knowing how far they had traveled.

The power of time was incredibly dense.

Jun Wuxie and the two women were beginning to lose their sense of time, but the power that deprived them of their lifespan remained, growing increasingly terrifying.

This was a very contradictory phenomenon.

Chu Moli and Chu Yudie found this very puzzling.

Why was it like this?

Shouldn't the deprivation of their lifespan occur when time was upon them, and time was flying by?

But here, they felt that time was almost standing still.

They looked at Jun Wuxie and noticed a change in his expression.

It wasn't a solemn expression, but one of anticipation, even a hint of surprise.

"Jun Shen, have you discovered something?"

Chu Moli was very curious. For Jun Shen to reveal such an expression, it must be something significant, something good.

"I can't be certain yet, but I'm fairly sure we're all about to receive an opportunity.

However, we must still be careful. Besides good things, there are bound to be bad things as well.

That demonic sound is not simple. It most likely harbors a great evil."

Chu Moli and Chu Yudie listened, their hearts filled with anticipation and trepidation, and they couldn't help but hold his arms even tighter.

They continued to venture deeper for some time.

The two sides of the tunnel gradually changed. The stone walls were gray, with many ancient patterns on them.

However, they had been damaged in the past, making them difficult to see, with many cracks.

The broken patterns on the cave walls seemed to possess a mysterious power.

When Chu Moli and Chu Yudie stared at the patterns, they felt as if their entire souls were about to be sucked into them.

Although it was a cave wall, it suddenly transformed into a boundless world, with corpses strewn across the mountains and rivers, and fresh red blood dripping from the sky.

The two women's beautiful pupils rapidly dilated.

Almost at the same time, they felt a mental force suddenly pull them out of that world.

The world of corpses and blood dripping from the sky suddenly disappeared, and the scene before them turned back into the cave wall patterns.

The two of them were covered in cold sweat, their delicate bodies trembling violently, when they heard Jun Wuxie's voice beside them: "Do not stare at the patterns on the cave walls!"

They quickly averted their gazes and turned to look at Jun Wuxie.

Their exquisite faces were already covered in fine beads of sweat.

"Husband, there's something strange about the patterns on the cave wall..."

Chu Yudie wiped the sweat from her forehead, feeling lingering fear, her heart still beating fast.

Just now, in that instant, their minds had fallen into that terrifying world.

If Jun Wuxie hadn't pulled them out in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"These patterns are imbued with powerful mental energy. Once you focus on them, you will be drawn into a mental illusion.

With your cultivation, once you are completely trapped, you will be trapped inside forever, and your physical bodies will become living dead."

"What level of being left this behind? It's truly terrifying."

Chu Moli felt horrified.

"It should be left behind by a strong person above the Emperor Realm. It's hard to determine the exact realm now.

This place was once invaded by some kind of power of the Great Dao, causing the mental power attached to the patterns to be almost completely wiped out.

Otherwise, just now, your encounter would have been countless times more terrifying.

This ancient mine pit is not simple.

Strictly speaking, this is no longer an ancient mine pit.

Everything here was not left behind by the Primordial Era, but by an era far more ancient than the Primordial Era."

As they spoke, they went deeper, and soon came to the end of the tunnel.

Here was a long corridor.

On both sides of the corridor were stone walls, which had been carefully polished and carved, with many symbolic diagrams on them.

In this corridor, the light was much brighter than in the tunnel.

There were lights on the stone walls on both sides of the corridor, one every so often.

The lights were not big, and the thumb-sized flames flickered slightly, burning for an unknown number of years, and have not been extinguished to this day.

"My law zhenqi has recovered. The law is not restricted here..."

Chu Yudie and Chu Moli were both stunned.

"This place has its own order, which is much stronger than the order of the secret land, so the law-restricting power of the secret land world has failed."

Jun Wuxie explained to them.

Along the corridor, they finally came to a large hall.

The gate of the main hall was damaged, with a large hole.

"What intense power of time!"

Walking to the cave in front of the hall door, the power of time inside came head-on, so strong that it was beyond imagination!

This power of time made them feel inexplicably horrified.

If it weren't for Jun Shen, who could withstand such a terrifying force of time?

Even the strong in the Immortal Realm would probably die of old age in an instant!

What is immortality? In the face of such power of time, I am afraid it will not be of any use!

They followed Jun Wuxie through the broken hall door and entered an ancient and magnificent hall.

In this hall, everything was in a mess, and many places on the ground were covered with cracks, and even the walls of the hall had many large cracks.

The hall was empty, and almost nothing could be seen.

However, in the upper center of the hall, there was a stone platform, and the ground of the stone platform was covered with lines.

"Husband, what is that? It doesn't look like a rune..."

Chu Yudie stared at the lines on the stone platform, feeling very curious.

"Those are Great Dao patterns, which are more condensed than pure law power. They are condensed from the Great Dao and can carry profound Dao power.

It's just that it has been damaged, and now there is no Great Dao power at all.

Obviously, in some ancient period, there was a fierce battle here.

This hall was once covered with Great Dao patterns, and every place was extremely strong, but it was destroyed into such a appearance."

Jun Wuxie scanned the hall, and finally his eyes fell on the stone platform.

There was not only a stone platform there, but also a coffin.

And on the coffin, there was a semi-transparent flower.

The petals of that flower were different in color, and the overflowing light was like quicksand gold of different colors, and the light and rain were gorgeous.

"It really is it!"

Jun Wuxie's expression was slightly excited.

"Husband, what are you talking about?"

Chu Yudie looked in the direction of his gaze, but did not see anything on the stone platform.

Chu Moli also felt puzzled.

There was clearly nothing in it, only cracks everywhere, and the empty stone platform covered with Dao patterns.

"This place is special. It is normal that you can't see it. You will be able to see it if you get closer."

Jun Wuxie immediately led them to the stone platform.

Soon, they came to the bottom of the stone platform.

When they got closer, the real picture on the stone platform was revealed in the sight of Chu Moli and Chu Yudie.

"There is actually a coffin, why is there a strange flower growing on it?

This… What intense temporal energy. It turns out that those temporal powers are emitted by that flower…"

Chu Moli and Chu Yudie were shocked and looked at the flower on the coffin in disbelief.

That flower was so strange, it actually took root on the coffin, and its appearance was so peculiar, so many petals, each petal was of a different color, surrounded by flowing light, extremely beautiful, and the flower was constantly withering and blooming, repeating itself, as if it was evolving one reincarnation after another.

But this flower is extremely dangerous.

If it weren't for Jun Shen, who could withstand the temporal power of that flower?

Strictly speaking, they would not be able to come to this hall at all, or even enter the corridor, and they would have died in that tunnel!

"Is it good-looking, that flower, is it extremely beautiful?"

Jun Wuxie said to them with a smile.

"It is indeed extremely beautiful, but it is also extremely dangerous."

Chu Moli was full of fear while marveling.

"Danger is often accompanied by opportunity.

The conditions for forming this flower, called the Years Flower, are very harsh, and it is almost impossible for natural environments to breed such special flowers and plants.

It must be grown by a strong person in the Emperor Realm or above who cultivates the Great Dao of Time, using his own Dao fruit as a guide, plus a special environment of heaven and earth."

"In that case, is there a being above the Emperor Realm buried in that coffin?"

Chu Moli and Chu Yudie were both shocked.

A strong person above the Emperor Realm, how strong is such an existence? It is really difficult for them to imagine!

Such a strong person is actually buried here.

How did he die, and why was he buried here?

How could the burial place after the death of such an existence be so dilapidated and simple?

In the entire hall, there were no funerary objects, only a coffin and the Years Flower it bred. No matter how you looked at it, it felt very desolate.

"Above the Emperor Realm does not mean just the Emperor Realm. The specific situation needs to be observed further."

Jun Wuxie led the two of them up the stone steps to the stone platform and walked to the coffin.

The coffin was not big, only three meters long. The coffin looked streamlined and had a delicate feeling. Many Dao patterns were carved on it, forming beautiful patterns.

Jun Wuxie stood in front of the coffin for a long time, remaining silent.

Seeing him like this, Chu Moli and Chu Yudie did not dare to speak, and their mood was inexplicably nervous.

"Originally, I shouldn't use the power of my previous life's Dao fruit, but the situation here is really special..."

After a long time, Jun Wuxie couldn't help but murmur to himself.

Observing the Years Flower and the Dao pattern patterns on the coffin, he saw a lot of information.

The Years Flower does not seem to have been derived from the Dao fruit as a guide.

From this point of view, the person buried in the coffin may be a strong person in the Wudao realm beyond the Emperor Realm.

Only a strong person in that realm can breed the Years Flower without needing the Dao fruit as a guide.

The temporal aura that a strong person in the Wudao realm who cultivates the Great Dao of Time exudes unconsciously breeds this special flower and grass.

The Dao pattern patterns on the coffin are not sacrificial patterns and do not seem to be prepared for the dead.

In other words, the existence in the coffin has probably not really died, but had to seal himself in a specially made coffin for some special reason.

Jun Wuxie stretched out his palm and slowly placed it on the coffin.

The instant his palm touched the Great Dao patterns on the coffin, resolute voices suddenly echoed in his mind.

"Realm Lord, leave quickly!"

"Realm Lord, you must survive! You must overcome that strange power, live on, and avenge us!"

"Realm Lord, farewell. Please forgive us for being unable to continue serving under your command!"

"Hmph, want to leave?

Defying the will of the True Ancestor, you shall all pay the price. Death is your only destination, including your Realm Lord!"

"Ten Great War Emperors, return! Retreat quickly! Today, I, the Lord, will ensure your safe departure!"

"No! Realm Lord, we are determined to face death. Please leave quickly! You are the only hope!"

"Kill!"

...

Those voices reverberated in his mind, resolute, angry, and filled with soaring battle intent, yet permeated with an indescribable sense of sorrow.

Jun Wuxie retracted his palm, his pupils slightly contracting.

These voices were transmitted from the Dao patterns on the coffin, likely events that occurred in the past.

The phrase 'overcome the strange power' made his heart skip a beat.

It seems that today, he must use his past life's Dao fruit to intervene in this matter.

His eyes blazed with the light of innate chaos, the runes of order within his pupils appearing and disappearing, allowing him to see through the coffin and into the scene within.

Sealed within the coffin was a world, and within it floated a figure shimmering with an eerie green light.

Certain areas of its skin were dark green, even showing signs of festering.

"Abyssal Plague! It really is this thing!"

Jun Wuxie's suspicions were confirmed.

For a powerhouse of the No Dao Domain to need to seal themselves in this way, it was enough to show how terrifying the problem they encountered was.

So, besides the Abyssal Plague, what other power could achieve such a degree?

The person in the coffin had a terrifying amount of Abyssal Plague on their body—the power of the Primordial Plague!

However, they had not been completely eroded by the Primordial Abyssal Plague, and many parts of their body remained intact.

This indicated that in the years-long struggle against the Abyssal Plague, they had not been at a disadvantage; neither could overcome the other.

"She is actually a person from the True Yang Immortal Realm. It seems she should be a Realm Lord from a certain era of the True Yang Immortal Realm, possibly even the first Realm Lord."

Jun Wuxie thought a lot.

The True Yang Immortal Realm was extremely powerful in the beginning, producing powerhouses of the No Dao Domain.

But unfortunately, they were targeted by the Ultimate Transcendent.

That Ultimate Transcendent sent powerhouses, bringing the Abyssal Plague, and infecting them.

In that era, all the powerhouses of the True Yang Immortal Realm should have died in battle.

This was perhaps also why the True Yang Immortal Realm clearly had a rich source of True Realm power and perfect world order, yet no powerhouses above the Grand Luo Immortal Monarch emerged.

The True Yang Immortal Realm had been tampered with and suppressed.

Clearly, it should have been the handiwork of the powerhouses under the command of the Ultimate Transcendent in those years.

What exactly is the state of the Ultimate Transcendents?

Their actions must have been out of fear that the No Dao powerhouses of certain worlds were too amazing and would one day walk the path of Ultimate Transcendence as well.

If at that time, their own state had not yet been resolved, then the Ultimate Transcendents of other worlds might pose a threat to them.

According to all the clues, this should be the reason.

With a wave of his hand, Jun Wuxie created a barrier with the power of order, enveloping the Flower of Years.

Instantly, the power of years emanating from the Flower of Years vanished.

"You two go down to the stone platform and wait for me."

He sent Chu Yudie and Chu Moli down.

"I will lend you a hand, hoping you can wake up sooner.

I wonder if you can awaken and comprehend the Ultimate Transcendence Dao before the final battle."

Jun Wuxie sighed.

According to the current state of the person in the coffin, even if the Primordial Abyssal Plague on her body were resolved, it was unknown when she would wake up.

She had entered a state of self-preservation countless years ago.

Besides having a subconscious mind to fight against the Primordial Abyssal Plague, all other consciousness was in deep sleep.

What he was about to do now was weaken the Primordial Abyssal Plague on her body.

In this way, she would be able to achieve victory in the confrontation.
