In a single thought, the specks of light within the Morning and Evening Destiny were stirred.
A thousand points of Zhaoxi Value poured forth from the destiny, transforming into a ring of silver-gray ripples that enveloped his entire body.
The moment the ripples expanded, everything in the Guest Elder Courtyard froze once more. The rising steam above the living spring hovered in midair, the spots of light leaking through the window latticework locked into stationary fragments of broken gold, and even the dewdrops occasionally falling from the branches and leaves of the ancient tree outside the courtyard solidified midair.
One day equaled a hundred years.
Chen Xuan sank his divine sense into his Dantian and began following the techniques recorded in the Profound Immortal Volume, peeling apart the silver-white Chaotic Infinite Immortal Seal layer by layer, reorganizing it, and weaving it back into new law textures.
The profound and abstruse mysteries required him to transform the operation of the Time Law from unidirectional application into a self-referential closed loop. Every wisp of Time Power inside the Immortal Seal, upon flowing to its limit, did not dissipate; instead, it looped back to superimpose upon itself, forming a second, third, or even greater recursive structure.
