"Uh, I’m not too concerned. No matter how much progress is made, it’s not like we can reach the sky in one step, right?"
Li Xiaobai wasn’t too bothered; he had the System, and getting to this point without cultivating was rare. Compared to others, he had hardly put in any effort.
If anything, he had just encountered more crises.
Moreover, if he wanted to take another step forward, he could only wait for the Great Resentnt Species of the Pure Land to finish building the statue. There were only so many Great Resentnt Species skilled in Artifact Refining, and the speed of construction was fixed. No matter how formidable Destiny might be, they couldn’t possibly finish a sculpture overnight, could they?
It wouldn’t make sense.
Li Xiaobai asked, "Which direction should we head in?"
"We should just wait here. Other directions are already occupied. Staying put saves ti and effort."
Yang Chen didn’t plan to move. From this mountaintop, the view was excellent, and any invading beings from the Divine Realm could be seen at a glance.
"Senior Brother, have you ever seen Long Xue?"
The mountain was tranquil and peaceful, and Li Xiaobai started chatting.
"Caught a glimpse from afar. I was quite surprised at the ti. She ca together with Beichen Feng and the Second Elder, I believe."
Yang Chen said.
"Senior Brother, what do you think the logic is? Clearly, I entered the Upper Realm first, yet I suddenly find them ahead of . My progress isn’t slow."
Li Xiaobai asked.
"This, well, it’s hard to say. Perhaps it’s related to the Ti Law. If one could completely separate a person’s ti from this world, then her flow of ti would be different from ours. When she’s cultivated to a certain level using that ti, and then her ti is reintegrated with the world, we can see her."
"For us, maybe only one or two years have passed, but for her, it may have been countless years."
"Of course, it’s rely speculation. I’ve never seen a Law related to ti."
Yang Chen said softly.
All the cultivators who ascended from the Lower Realm back then could sense that sothing was off with the group around Long Xue.
"To separate ti, huh?"
Li Xiaobai felt an inexplicable familiarity with this operation. In Jiang Que’s [Peach Blossom Spring Record], wasn’t there a pink-haired, axe-wielding girl nad Yuno with a similar ability?
The [Second Cycle] could bring people to another ti point and also bring them back to the present ti. It’s just uncertain whether the ti flow of the [Second Cycle] was the sa as the [First Cycle].
"Isn’t it possible that ti reversed? Perhaps Long Xue had been cultivating all along but encountered a certain node, forcing her or soone else to involuntarily rewind ti, bringing her back to the present to et ?"
Li Xiaobai proposed his guess. Compared to the complex operation of separating ti, directly reversing ti seed far simpler.
If his Ti Law was pausing ti, then perhaps soone could reverse it.
He hadn’t expected these words to make Yang Chen laugh heartily.
"Junior Brother, you clearly possess a Ti Law, yet you know nothing about the concept of ti."
"Let teach you: ti cannot be reversed."
"It’s because it’s a concept thrown out by living beings, rely a unit for observation. For instance, if you want to resurrect soone and rewind to the past, you may see that person and be in the past environnt, but you can’t confirm that ti has been reversed."
"Because you’ve rely returned to the past environnt and seen a person who, in your mory, has died. You believe ti has reversed only because your observation target has shifted to the past. You think that only through ti reversal can you return to the past."
"But you’ll still retain mories from before you returned to the past."
Yang Chen explained.
Li Xiaobai frowned, "What do you an?"
Yang Chen drew a line on the ground with the spear tip, then marked two points: "In your understanding, you’re treating ti as a line. At the end of the line is the present you. You imagine going back to the past, so you move from the end to the beginning of the line. Now tell , will the end disappear?"
"It won’t. The reversal you speak of is actually akin to my concept of separating ti. You’ve positioned yourself in a past tiline layer, but the present tiline continues to flow. If going back to the past causes the present tiline to disappear, this world would’ve perished countless tis already."
"The soul wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen, for it ans it could never reach the future. Do you understand what I an?"
Yang Chen spoke earnestly.
After all, if Li Xiaobai truly believed in ti reversal, he would make many wrong choices in the future.
There’s no ’regret redy’ in this world.
"History always repeats and cycles. Cultivators make progress, and they regress. However, whether forward, backward, left, or right, history moves forward."
"Whatever you do eventually becos part of history. If ti reversal truly existed, future generations would just record that you once reversed ti, becoming a part of history. If you treat incorrect notions as a Death Exemption Token, I’ll have a headache."
Yang Chen knocked on Li Xiaobai’s head. In this world, perhaps only the closest Senior Brother dared to do this.
"I see, thank you for the guidance, Senior Brother. It seems I guessed wrong."
"In your opinion, Senior Brother, what other branches could ti have?"
Li Xiaobai seed enlightened and inquired more from Yang Chen.
"Ti acceleration, that’s a given. In fact, many Laws, when taken to their ends, can touch ti. For instance, the Father’s [Divine Speed] – when speed reaches an extre, it can affect the pace of surrounding things. Also, the Law of Yin Yang can control life and death; with one thought, flowers bloom, and with another, they wither. It can accelerate aging and vitality, which is a touch on ti."
"Prediction is being able to briefly see future images, a capability of the Prescient God. Everyone knows it through the martial competition light screen, but unfortunately, those eyes were taken by the Father."
"As for others, I can’t say for sure because it’s re speculation and should be logical."
Yang Chen advised earnestly. He indeed had other guesses but didn’t want illogical nonsense to influence his junior brother’s judgnt.
For instance, extending from the concept of separating ti, if one could section off a few seconds of an enemy’s future ti, kill them in that separated ti, and then return to the present, then even by doing nothing, the enemy would disappear seconds later.
But he couldn’t figure out how that would work, just an ethereal fantasy.
Li Xiaobai fell into deep thought, suddenly propelled by a trendous force, flung away.
"Junior Brother, chatting is fine, but why zone out? The enemy is attacking!"
"I’ll lead; you cover the rear!"
Yang Chen shouted, bringing him back to reality.
At the mountaintop, a golden crack was spreading, the rift expanding to gradually form a Spiritual Energy vortex, divine material within constructing a spatial passage.
"I wonder what level of beings are coming this ti."
Yang Chen held his long spear, pointing at the distant golden vortex: "Junior Brother, it’s your first ti seeing my Visualized Item; don’t laugh at ."
"Visualized Item: [Mourning Woman]!"
