Jiang Che smiled.
As he looked at the surging, roaring River of Time before him, he had more or less figured out the reason.
"Rumble—"
The River of Time stretched almost beyond sight. Within its majestic waters, the shadows of countless powerful cultivators could faintly be seen, yet all of them had turned into mirages within the river.
The power of time could almost obliterate everything.
The River of Time was even more mysterious and treacherous than the River of Destiny. Even the slightest disturbance could trigger a terrifying butterfly effect.
There were actually many geniuses in the Nine Heavens who cultivated the Grand Dao of Time. Some powerful formation masters had even developed immortal formations capable of compressing time, causing the flow of time within the formation to differ from the outside world by multiples.
The time immortal formation Jiang Che rented from the system was even more terrifying. The flow of time within the formation could differ from the real world by more than a hundredfold!
But these tricks of manipulating time were merely the most basic application of the Dao of Time.
That was because they were only used on oneself within a small range. The true Dao of Time... meant stepping into the River of Time, roaming within it, even traveling upstream to alter karma and destiny.
Of course, unless one was a true Transcendent, no one dared to do such a thing. Even a Supreme Immortal Emperor would die!
Even Yu Wan'er's father, Yu Chuan, could not be considered a Transcendent. Yu Chuan was immensely powerful, but his Status/Rank was insufficient... He had nearly been severely injured by a single Item Card from Jiang Che.
Just then, a mechanical voice rang in Jiang Che's ear.
