"It's a pity indeed. If we can master those methods to improve our cultivation, we can reach the top quickly."
"In just one month, it has reached a point where it can compete with Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Such a growth rate is truly unheard of."
"That's true. The storyteller Su Yang is very tight-lipped about Primordial World. He obviously has reservations."
Many people with magic power Tongtian sighed softly and no longer stared at the remote inn.
The four Saints, Primordial Lord of Heaven, Sect Master Tongtian, Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu, also quietly converged their spiritual consciousness and returned to their respective positions. Although there were questions in their hearts about how Desolate Heavenly Emperor could reach a level sufficient to compete with Dao Ancestor Hongjun in just one month, they understood that this matter could not be spied on at the moment.
Since Tianji is difficult to predict, there is no need to force it.
In the small inn, Su Yang closed all the doors and windows. The light in the room was dim, but his expression was unusually solemn, and his eyes fell directly on Sect Master Tongtian.
Sect Master Tongtian was a little confused when he saw this. The doors and windows were closed tightly, which seemed to have a deep meaning, but he did not ask questions and just waited quietly.
After a moment, he spoke again, "Mister Su, please explain clearly, why did Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Emperor Ye's cultivation soar to such an extent in just one month?"
Before he finished speaking, Nuwa and Houtu also focused their gazes on Su Yang's face, with eagerness in their eyes.
Su Yang smiled softly, with a long breath, as if he had expelled all the distracting thoughts from the world.
Then he slowly said, "It seems that everyone wants to know why Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Emperor Ye can have the power to overwhelm Saint in such a short period of time."
Everyone nodded silently.
When the two appeared before, although they were already extraordinary, they could still compete with Saint. They could at most be defeated by one person. But now, Desolate Heavenly Emperor was actually side by side with Hongjun, or even vaguely superior to them; Heavenly Emperor Ye was able to push back many Saint and powerful people just by relying on his momentum.
Entering the country like this is almost unbelievable.
The three people's eyes became more solemn, waiting for answers.
Su Yang's voice was calm. "Because the world Desolate Heavenly Emperor lives in is not this world."
"You may think that only thirty days have passed, but where he is, time flows in a completely different direction, and hundreds of thousands of years have passed."
"Having gone through countless battles and overcoming thousands of calamities, what's so surprising about achieving the power you have today?"
"So..." Sect Master Tongtian murmured in a low voice, "Their growth is not contrary to common sense, but the time in the two worlds is not on the same scale?"
"The world that Desolate Heavenly Emperor lives in has lasted hundreds of thousands of years, while Primordial World has only lasted for more than a month, and the human world has only lasted for thirty years." Sect Master Tongtian stared at Su Yang with a low voice, "Such a difference in the speed of time is really difficult to fathom."
"Even though the years have passed, Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Emperor Ye's cultivation should not have advanced so rapidly." He said slowly, with doubts appearing between his brows.
Empress Nuwa nodded lightly, and Empress Houtu also nodded silently. Both of them sensed that there was something unreasonable about it. If they had really gone through hundreds of thousands of years of practice, that level might still be understandable, but what they saw before them was far beyond the limit of deduction.
Su Yang looked calm and spoke gently, "Sage Tongtian, have you ever considered that when Heavenly Emperor Ye and Desolate Heavenly Emperor appeared, they were not synchronized with their original timelines?"
"You mean...River of Time has been touched?" Sect Master Tongtian's pupils shrank, and a flash of understanding suddenly flashed in his eyes.
Immediately, shock surged from the bottom of his heart, and he looked directly at Su Yang: "How could you cross the tributaries of time and summon them from different eras to this place?"
His voice trembled slightly. "Logically speaking, with their way of doing things, they have already taken the only path, transcending time. How can they still be traced in the future?"
Su Yang just smiled and did not answer directly, "It doesn't hurt to leave some lingering notes about some things. There is no need to reveal all the secrets."
His eyes turned and landed on Sect Master Tongtian: "Instead of exploring where other people's power comes from, it is better to think about the path you will take after killing yourself."
After the words fell, the atmosphere in the palace condensed.
Nuwa and Houtu were silent, their eyes focused on Sect Master Tongtian. Ruthless Great Emperor's eyes were as bright as lightning, Footprint Emperor stood in the shadow, Willow Deity branches and leaves moved slightly, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass swayed gently, and even Corpse Immortal Emperor's empty eye sockets seemed to be watching.
If a Heavenly Dao Sage takes the initiative to withdraw from the situation and cuts off his foundation, the consequences will be huge. Over the years, Sect Master Tongtian has enjoyed supreme power by virtue of the authority of heaven. Once he abandons it now, he will surely suffer the backlash and liquidation.
There was silence in the hall.
Sect Master Tongtian closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his gaze was as firm as iron. "If Mister Su is willing to show you a way to return to the holy realm, then I, Sect Master Tongtian, will kill myself with a knife, so what do I have to fear?"
"As Heavenly Dao Sage, I will be subject to the rules of heaven my whole life. It is better to abandon this identity, cut off the past, and pursue a truly free body."
"Besides, Mister Su once said that if I am willing to give up my cultivation and resume my practice, you will definitely open up the Tongtian road for me."
Hearing these words, Su Yang raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Indeed, he once promised that as long as Sect Master Tongtian takes this step, he will do everything in his power to help him return to the Saint field, even if he goes against the will of heaven.
But he never expected that Sect Master Tongtian would be so decisive. Such magnanimity and persistence may be the reason why Su Yang has always respected him.
In the eyes of Su Yang, Sect Master Tongtian is never hypocritical, nor is he moved by power, fame and fortune. There is only one thing in his heart to become stronger, to challenge a higher existence with Four Swords of Zhu Xian in his hand.
Among today's Primordial World, the most insurmountable existence is Dao Ancestor Hongjun. This person was originally Three Corpses Sage, and in harmony with the law of heaven, he controls Authority of Heaven and Earth, and his strength has already exceeded the scope of what ordinary Saint can guess.
Because of this, Sect Master Tongtian came up with the idea of killing himself.
He knew that only by completely cutting off the connection with the way of heaven could he break free from the invisible shackles.
Only by getting rid of the oppression represented by Hongjun can we have the opportunity to truly move towards a higher realm.
Since hearing Su Yang mention Myriad Worlds, Sect Master Tongtian's vision has changed.
He knows that outside of Primordial World, there are countless strong men who surpass Saint. The best among them can suppress Saint into the mortal world with a wave of his hand.
What is even more shocking is that Su Yang also mentioned a being named "Mythical Grand Unity Golden Immortal" - one who can master the reincarnation of cause and effect, reverse the fate of time and space, and is almost omnipotent.
If he knew nothing about this before, he might still be content with the status quo.
But now, he has glimpsed the higher-level truth of heaven and earth.
Knowing what the other side looked like, how could he be willing to stop there?
Sect Master Tongtian slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were like lightning.
He looked directly at Su Yang, and his voice was low but firm. "Mister Su, I want to kill myself today, can you?"
"If I take this step, do you really have Dharma Gate to help me reach the position of Saint again?"
After the words fell, both Empress Nuwa and Empress Houtu remained silent, their eyes falling on Su Yang.
They also wanted to know whether Su Yang really had the means to bring back a strong man who had voluntarily given up his holy position.
