Chapter 754 Time Sweeps the Soul
This force of the Great Dao backlash, invisible and intangible, directly penetrated the barrier of Shi Xuan's Yin-Yang Mixed Cave Divine Light Mana along the connection of the Yuanshen, and fell leisurely on the cave.
As the force of the Great Dao backlash fell, Shi Xuan's mind reflected, and he suddenly felt that a rolling and surging colorless river appeared strangely in the surrounding void, flowing forward, and it seemed that it would never return, and it flowed into the cave.
As soon as this illusory river came into contact with the laws of the cave, it was firmly combined with it, driving it to change rapidly.
The earth, fire, wind and water subsided, the chaos of the lost Dao dissipated, the space-time storm separated, thunder flashed everywhere, and some great thousands were born. In just a moment, Shi Xuan's prehistoric cave world passed through a long time of evolution and directly entered the ancient times!
This is not a change in the law, but a real moment of tens of millions of years!
Shi Xuan's soul was shaken, and he felt dizzy. The speed of time passing in the cave was so fast that even Shi Xuan, the Three Tribulations Heavenly Monarch, could not grasp it. He could not control himself and his mind was shaken.
The long river of time flowed faster and faster, like a flood that was about to break through the embankment, getting more and more urgent, and the waves crashed against the shore.
The thunder of the entire void universe gradually subsided, the dark void stabilized, countless virtual worlds were born and evolved, and the ancients came!
The birth of the virtual world began to decrease, and the void universe was completely stable!
A cave, if it evolved normally, would have a lifespan of about several billion years, but in just a few breaths, it had grown for hundreds of millions of years and entered the mature stage of a small world.
Shi Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, had a face that was originally in his twenties, but it changed rapidly. A short black beard grew under his chin, the shape of his eyebrows and eyes changed slightly, and there were a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, just like a mature middle-aged elegant man.
After opening up the small world in the body, the celestial being who had no lifespan limit will generate lifespan again and connect with the lifespan of the small world. If there is no decline, then it can live for billions of years.
The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became heavier and heavier, and Shi Xuan's mind was washed away by time and it was difficult to stabilize.
There are some celestial monarchs who are in the fourth decline of the celestial being. They cannot escape the long river of time and cannot control the time of the small world. Therefore, they will die in just ten breaths, which is similar to the heavenly tribulation. There is no room for turnover. In this regard, the celestial monarchs who practice the time technique have a unique advantage. Even the success of overcoming the decline of lifespan may be several times that of ordinary celestial monarchs.
At this time, Shi Xuan seemed to have become a mortal, submerged in the river, difficult to float up, difficult to breathe, and could choke to death at any time.
Fortunately, Shi Xuan's Dao Heart cultivation was outstanding. In these feelings that shook his mind, he kept a trace of his soul clear and never wavered. After ten breaths, he finally adapted to the feeling of being submerged in water, with water all over his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and could only float and watch the water flow in despair. He began to suppress all thoughts with difficulty and stabilize his mind: "One... thought... does not... arise... in the... empty... state."
A few strands of white hair appeared on Shi Xuan's head. In addition to the corners of his eyes, wrinkles also appeared on his forehead and other places, and his jade-like skin became a little dull.
Thoughts were bound in his mind one after another, first slowly and then quickly.
Once he adapted to the feeling of time washing away, he began to control his mind and thoughts. With Shi Xuan's Dao Heart cultivation and the suppression of the Tai Chi diagram, he soon gathered all his thoughts, calmed his mind, and visualized the Pure Natural Morality Heavenly Venerable.
Thanks to Shi Xuan's experience of a thousand years in an instant when he was a calamity king, and his mind often immersed in the universe light clock, feeling the flow of the long river of time, soon, Shi Xuan's soul emitted a black and white light, surrounding himself, and gathered behind him into a slowly rotating yin and yang fish.
At this time, Shi Xuan's mind was like a mirror, and water passed without a trace. He completely got rid of the sweep of the long river of time, and with a detached mentality and feeling, he sensed the passage of time in the cave.
Without any delay or hesitation, nor any haste or panic, Shi Xuan calmly operated his soul and began to manipulate the slow and reverse flow of time in the cave.
Suddenly, a silent sharp feeling sounded in Shi Xuan's soul, cracking the mirror-like Tao heart. Because the time in the cave was running at this time, it was like a high-speed train in Shi Xuan's previous life, and Shi Xuan's ability to manipulate time was like a bare-handed man dragging the tail of the train, trying to stop the train, but the power gap was too great, so he could only be carried forward by the train, leaving deep marks on the ground.
"There really is a long river of time, mighty and mighty, if you follow it, you will die, if you go against it, you will also die, and it can't affect it at all." Shi Xuan calmed his mind and suppressed some fluctuating thoughts, and then continued the tragic and hopeless act of trying to stop a train with his arms, being dragged by the train and stumbling, his mind shaking from time to time.
Not discouraged by failure, not despairing because of the small role, Shi Xuan was calm and carried out everything in an orderly manner.
Gradually, under Shi Xuan's unremitting manipulation of time and resistance, the long river of time seemed to slow down, and the surging mighty calmed down a little.
With more and more white hair, deeper wrinkles, and darker skin, Shi Xuan gradually became like a sixty-year-old man. At this time, in the cave, the virtual world and stars that were entering destruction and doomsday began to outnumber the newly born world and stars, the time and space storm began to be fierce, and the dark and chaotic caves gradually increased.
Just when Shi Xuan saw that the lifespan of the cave heaven was coming to the last billion years, he intended to use the "Void Opening" to preserve more lifespan to the last moment. However, his efforts paid off, and the speed of the long river of time, under Shi Xuan's reverse control, finally became smooth and gradually stabilized as the backlash force of the Avenue finally became strong!
Although the speed of flowing forward is still very fast, it seems less urgent compared to the nearly 1 billion years of life left in the cave world. At least within 60 years, he will not die due to the exhaustion of life.
"After adapting for a few more years, the power of manipulating time can slow down the passage of time. However, judging from my progress, it will take about 30 to 40 years to completely stop the passage of time and enter the final counterattack of the decline." Shi Xuan could only spare a little attention at this time to observe his own situation.
Once the power of manipulating time can be equal to the passage of time brought by the backlash of the Great Dao, the final backlash will come. If this situation has not been reached within 500 years, the final power of the backlash of the Great Dao will also fall. At this time, it is naturally better to welcome it as soon as possible, after all, the more lifespan will be left!
Shi Xuan stood up from the futon, but it seemed to bring up a puff of illusory and heavy dust. The passage of billions of years will naturally react a little outside the Yuanshen.
As for the decline of life span, since it only involves the cave and life span, Shi Xuan still has a lot of strength. His soul alone can resist any magic below the seventh level, and if he is distracted, he can also use magic with the power of the sixth level.
After removing the ban and opening the door of the quiet room, Zi Ying, who had been guarding outside, said happily: "Master, have you stabilized the decline? That's really good. There are many three-tribulation heavenly monarchs, but they have never even passed this level..." As soon as the words came out, Zi Ying said a lot.
The fourth decline of the celestial being, because of the mystery of time and the lack of secret techniques and treasures to pass the tribulation, except for the heavenly monarchs who practiced the time technique, no great power can say that he is very confident before passing the tribulation, so Zi Ying was very happy to see that his master had survived the initial difficulties.
"Just now, I almost used the secret technique of overcoming the tribulation. The decline of life span is indeed the second most difficult hurdle in the decline of the tribulation after the decline of the heart of Tao." Shi Xuan shook his head and laughed. The further he went, the less confident he was about the decline of the tribulation. He no longer had the good fortune of about 80% confidence when his physical body was declining.
And the confidence of overcoming the decline of life span will not increase significantly with the passage of time and the improvement of the heart of Tao, because the ability to manipulate time will not change substantially before overcoming the decline of the tribulation. Unless you find the secret treasure or secret technique, it is just a matter of striving for perfection on the existing basis, with an additional 10% confidence, and this 10% confidence cannot offset the hidden dangers of the heart of Tao brought about by the fear of the decline of the tribulation and the hesitation. In addition, True Lord Langxia is also a negative example. Sometimes you need to be brave and diligent.

Due to the addition of "Floating Light Purple Sky Chapter" and "Heavenly Blue Dark Chapter" and other sword cultivation techniques that directly point to the integration of the Dao in the sect, many disciples of Penglai Sect who are interested in the Dao of Sword finally have a choice. However, due to the fact that Penglai Sect still selects disciples mainly based on the techniques of the Shenxiao lineage, and the "Shenxiao Cave True Dao Treasure Scripture" is a supreme technique that far surpasses the inheritance of sword cultivation, there are not many disciples of the sword cultivation lineage.
Ziying is a chatterbox, and naturally likes to be a teacher. To be able to get the guidance of such a great second-tribulation master, the soul disciples of the sword cultivation lineage of Penglai Sect often come to Shixuan Cave Mansion to pay homage to Ziying.
Shixuan did not stop him. Ziying needed to grow his mind, and teaching the younger generation was also a kind of tempering.
On this day, Wang Qi, Fang Li, and Lin Shaochong, three soul disciples who practiced sword cultivation techniques, heard that Senior Ziying was free, so they hurried to Shixuan Cave Mansion to pay homage.
Led by Qinglang, they just stepped into the cave and saw an old and thin monk with white hair coming out. His face was full of wrinkles, his skin was dry and dull, and he exuded a smell of decay and vicissitudes.
"It's like a million years of time!" Wang Qi, Fang Li, and Lin Shaochong couldn't help but exclaimed in their hearts. She could even see the invisible, heavy, and vicissitudes of history around this old monk. Although he looked only sixty years old, he gave people a feeling of being too old to be human.
They had never seen this feeling before, but how could an ordinary monk exude this feeling? So the three of them bowed respectfully, even if they didn't know this old and thin monk.
Shi Xuan nodded: "Zi Ying is waiting for you in the third quiet room on the left." Then he left the cave and flew to Tianshu Peak.
"The tone of his voice when he called Zi Ying senior?" Lin Shaochong said hesitantly.
Wang Qi was also quite surprised: "This is the tone of an elder, isn't it?"
"Master Shi?!" The three of them thought of this name at the same time, but how could Master Shi be so old? However, thinking that many cultivators like to meet people in the appearance of old elders, they were relieved.
…………
Under the Tianshu Peak, Shi Xuan looked at Master Xu in the ice coffin and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect to see Master Xu like this again." It was because he heard that Master Xu was beginning to decline that Shi Xuan went to Tianshu Peak.
"I didn't expect that you, Shi boy, are more like me than I am." Master Xu replied to Shi Xuan angrily and amusedly.
