The old man's actions were sudden, and everyone's faces changed drastically.
However, there was also a small group of warriors who had a smirk on their faces. Like a cot, Zen had risen quickly to prominence and had been in the lilight for a long ti. But in the end, even he was defeated by soone.
Letitia's expressions turned stern and her face beca red with fury. She stomped her feet, and the pearl crown on her head swayed as she began to rush towards Zen.
Imogen, Xander and the three fat alliance heads all had nervous expressions on their faces. They didn't know what was going to happen next.
However, before anyone could react, ti suddenly stopped.
In the Heavenly Stellar Sacred Place, when they had hatched the Ancestral Dragon Egg, the Celestial Position warriors had increased the ti flow rate. This ant that every day inside the hatchery was just a few seconds. Ti passed as quickly as sand running through one's fingers in there. One year had passed in the outside world, while inside that barrier, a thousand years passed.
And now, in the Cloud Hall, ti had beco a thousand tis slower.
Everything was happening at a speed that was a thousandth of the outside world. People moved slower than a snail. In fact, it was safe to say they weren't moving at all. It was difficult for the naked eye to notice their movent.
What was even more terrifying was the area that was affected. Ti had almost co to a halt within a one-thousand-mile radius of the Cloud Hall. This was in stark contrast to the enchanted barrier, both in terms of direction and area.
The birds in the sky stopped in midair, and the smoke leaving the chimneys solidified into a column that did not get dispersed. The ripples on the surface of the lake also remained the sa. Of course this was only for the outside world.
However, sohow, the Ancestral Dragon was unaffected by this change.
“Gagoom…” the Ancestral Dragon cried. At its current age, its intelligence was the sa as a human toddler's. Although it was not affected by the change in the ti flow rate, it was curious about why Margaret had stopped moving.
Suddenly, as if by instinct, it seed to sense sothing and flew out of the window, heading straight towards the Martial Arts Hall.
The old man smiled and looked up at the sky before he left out a sigh, “Ti waits for no one. Although your cultivation has advanced trendously, resources in the Lower World are scarce. You're still too slow. Let lend a helping hand.”
Just as he finished speaking, the Ancestral Dragon flew in.
“Gagoom...gagoom…”
the beast called out anxiously when it saw Zen lying on the ground with his eyes closed. Its hostility towards this old man was intense. Like any baby to its mother, it wanted revenge.
The old man chuckled and told the Ancestral Dragon, “You puny thing.”
Instead of finishing his sentence, he ignored the Ancestral Dragon and walked towards Zen. Extending his withered hand, he brought out a dark green dicinal pill.
As soon as the pill was taken out, it flew toward the sky.
“Only enlightened a little and you want to escape? I don't think so. No. In your dreams!” The old man's hand gently twirled and an invisible force sohow dragged the dicinal pill down.
The weird thing was that the pill did not only seem to be conscious but also sentient. It looked capable of fighting since green halos suddenly appeared from within the pill. Those halos instantly condensed into a green bolt of lightning and tried to counterattack the old man.
This old man seed genuinely unhappy with this display. With a cold snort, he pointed his finger and the round pill broke into several tiny pieces which then turned into a green cloud and spread out.
Following this, the green-colored cloud began to float motionlessly in the air above the Cloud Hall.
“Down!” The old man let out a soft whisper. As if commanded by a master, the huge green cloud started to slowly swirl and then finally morphed into a small stream that began to flow into Zen's mouth.
Very soon, Zen had completely absorbed the green cloud. The old man then walked gracefully towards his seat and poured out a glass of fine wine for himself. Next, he blinked his eyes and ti was restored to normal within an instant.
Letitia, who was midway in taking a step forward, imdiately stabilized herself, but she still looked flustered.
Although this old man had just slowed down ti, it hadn't absolutely stopped. In fact, even if he wanted to completely stop ti, he couldn't have done that no matter how hard he tried. There was a theory about the Ti Law which postulated that any creature who cultivated the Ti Law could only slow down or increase the ti flow rate; they couldn't stop it.
Thus, everyone was still able to see what was going on in front of them. Their minds could still think and their senses were still intact. By now they understood that this old man truly did not bear any enmity towards them.
However, his practice and command of the Ti Law had left everyone stunned.
In the Central Region, very few martial artists were proficient in Space Law, and cultivating the Ti Law was far more difficult than cultivating the Space Law. As a result, until now, there hadn't been a single martial artist who was proficient in Ti Law. Zen was an exception, although he had never demonstrated his theurgy in Ti Law.
However, this old man had changed the Cloud Hall's ti flow rate with a few simple flicks of his eyelids. During that period, everyone and everything had almost co to a halt. This was a mysterious and powerful thod at play. Everyone could sense that this old man was incredibly strong. In fact, the word “strong” was a bit of an understatent. His power was simply terrifying!
The pill the old man had taken out was even harder to fathom. It had the consciousness to run away and was even able to attack the old man when forced to. At the sa ti, the old man had been completely unhard by the display of thunder that had ensued. The green bolt of lightning from the pill was powerful enough to kill any mortal man. But the old man had been completely unaffected.
So, undoubtedly, the pill was potent.
Forgetting about all that, everyone was quite envious right now. Not of the old man, but of Zen. He didn't seem to know this guy but the old man had still co all the way over here to give him a wedding gift. The warriors who had gloated at Zen's misfortune, and everyone else too, were now green with envy.
“Sir, what did you do to Zen?” Letitia couldn't help but step forward and ask the old man.
The old man lightly shook his head and casually replied, “I gave him a wedding gift, of course.” When he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and slapped his head. “Oh right, how silly of ! The groom got a wedding present, so the bride should have one too. But this wedding gift is a bit simple. I hope you won't mind.”
The old man patted his belly. But nothing happened. Then he muttered to himself, or rather to his own belly, “Now, now! Don't be greedy. I didn't put these divine weapons in there for you to use them. Even when you did use them, I never said anything about it, but do you really think they are yours to keep?”
Everyone was looking at each other in astonishnt. Was this guy crazy? 'Why is this old man talking to his stomach? Is he a madman?'
At that mont, Zen stood up and asked with a smile on his face, “Are there experts in your inner world who possess and use divine weapons?”
The old man rolled his eyes. “There's a guy inside my body. He's reached the cultivation base of Soul Sea Realm. He directly occupies all the space in my body and proclaims himself to be the sacred emperor. He even hid the one thousand divine weapons I had stored in my inner world. He thinks that they are his own. Silly him! Dang! Bring them out!”
After that, the old man pointed his finger and a bright gold bracelet suddenly appeared out of nowhere and floated into his hands. The old man now laughed, “I ca in a hurry and didn't have ti to prepare sothing good. This bracelet is the only thing I thought was appropriate on this occasion. It's a bit too simple. I'm embarrassed to give you this. But it's a divine weapon after all, so I believe it will do the trick.” The bracelet then floated towards Letitia.
“A divine weapon...”
Shock appeared on everyone's face. So of them couldn't even believe what they were seeing and hearing with their own senses. 'A divine weapon is too simple?
That's a divine weapon for crying out loud!' So people began to curse inwardly.
The most powerful treasures in the Central Region were only so mid-grade sacred weapons, and even those were very few in number. People might have read about them in books, but the general public at least had never seen them in real life.
And the old man had just said that as a present, the bracelet was too simple. It burned the other warriors up.
