Eight Thousand Years

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Zhou Zheng flying in mid-air, while his Heartforce carefully scanned the places he passed, exploring everything there.

Zhou Zheng's Heartforce is still at the Fifth Level. However, even at the Heart Force Fifth Level, there are differences in strength. Some Eternal Emperor are at the fifth level of Heartforce, and their Heartforce is naturally incomparable to that of a Heavenly God Heartforce the fifth level.

Heartforce level is just a classification of realms, while the essence of Heartforce is a kind of power. Its strength is related not only to the Heartforce realm, but also to the Heartforce, the Dao Heart, and so on.

At this Zhou Zheng Zheng's soul is comparable to that of Four-step Dao Lord. Regardless of his Dao Heart, he has cultivated in the Origin Continent for over ten trillion epochs, and his will has long since reached an extremely terrifying level.

Under these circumstances, his Heartforce is actually very strong.

If he were outside, Zhou Zheng's Heartforce could easily cover thousands or even tens of thousands of Chaos World, but here, a force was influencing him, limiting his detection range. That's why Zhou Zheng was only exploring little by little at this moment.

This investigation lasted for three days, Zhou Zheng found that the entire space was uniformly desolate, with nothing unusual about it.

"That makes sense. If there were any obvious abnormalities, the Dao Lord Yudou wouldn't have told me about this place so easily!" Zhou Zheng thought to himself.

Although it was strange that such an environment could cause Time Acceleration, Zhou Zheng didn't think much of it.

How vast is the Chaos Universe? Zhou Zheng is far from being able to comprehend everything! The slight anomalies may simply be due to his limited knowledge.

"I entered this place without incident when I was at the World Realm of the Dao Lord Yudou. If I'm just being cautious, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Zhou Zheng thought to himself before quickly descending.

Call!

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and took out a celestial abode, then flashed inside.

After sitting down on a futon, Zhou Zheng immediately closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Although it is the simplest breakthrough from the One-step Dao Lord to the Two-step Dao Lord, it is still the Ultimate Dao. Logically speaking, it is not so easy to break through by simply cultivating in seclusion.

But that's not actually the case. Zhou Zheng himself has a deep understanding of time and space. It's just that the world is different, which prevents him from reaching his original level. But no matter how different the world is, many things can be transformed. At the very least, it can provide Zhou Zheng with many ideas for moving forward.

Therefore, Zhou Zheng was not simply burying himself in cultivation at this moment. If you had to put it in perspective, he was referring to a set of "fist techniques" to practice a new "sword technique".

While fist fighting and swordsmanship are different, they can learn from each other. Once you have a foundation in fist fighting, practicing swordsmanship will naturally be much easier.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Outside the Immortal Abode, the wind howled and sandstorms raged, but Zhou Zheng remained unaffected, staying inside the Immortal Abode to gradually comprehend, or rather, to create the second step of the Ultimate Space-Time Dao.

Once the World Realm Perfection, cultivators in this world can no longer rely on the Origin of the Chaos Universe for cultivation. To continue, they must create their own path step by step.

The "Tao" we created is consistent with the Origin of the Chaos Universe, which is correct. There is hope for success in Dao Merge in the future.

If the Dao that is created is flawed and cannot be corrected in time, then the one who will eventually Dao Merge will undoubtedly perish.

This is the Life and Death Dao Lord. One step leads to life, one step leads to death. Once you take that step, there is no turning back. If you choose the wrong path, the price you will pay in the future will be severe.

Time has passed, Zhou Zheng has been in seclusion for over eight thousand years—or rather, eight thousand years under Time Acceleration.

Using eight thousand years of time, Zhou Zheng's Five Great Techniques in the "Five Scrolls of Space-Time" have each broken through a major level. Next, as long as he combines these Five Great Techniques into a complete whole, he will take the second step in his Ultimate Space-Time Dao.

However, while it's easy to master individual techniques, combining them is difficult.

Fortunately, only eight thousand years Past at this point, and that is, eight thousand years at a thousand-fold Time Acceleration. In the outside world, only eight years Past.

Just as Zhou Zheng was rapidly breaking through one after another, a silvery-white ball of light suddenly flickered at the very bottom of this sandy space.

Wow!

Within the ball of light, a man dressed in pure white robes suddenly appeared, and almost simultaneously, a bird entirely in black flew over.

"Big Brother!" The Black Bird landed in front of the man in white.

"What's wrong?" the man in white asked directly.

"Nothing, I was just a little bored and wanted to talk to you, big brother," Black Bird chuckled.

"."

The man in white was silent for a moment, then said, "What is it? Speak!"

"Then I'll be frank!" Black Bird thought for a moment, then asked, "Brother, what do you think of that Dao Lord up there?"

"Not bad!" the man in white said casually, then added:

"Unfortunately, he is not Ancient Cultivator; you are not destined to meet him."

"Master did say that it's best to choose Ancient Cultivator, but Master also said that if a true genius or powerful being arrives, that would also be considered!" the Black Bird said.

"I have observed this Dao Lord for eight thousand years and found that his Dao is completely in sync with mine. Most importantly, he is absolutely a monstrous genius. In these eight thousand years, he has only been cultivating, and his progress has been enormous and visible to the naked eye!"

"Moreover, ever since that Dao Lord Shen Gong discovered this space and established a so-called ruin here, countless Ancient Cultivator have not come here!" Black Bird added:

"I've waited for far too many years, I'm almost bored to death. I've finally met someone I like, brother, are you really willing to let me keep waiting? Besides, the success rate of such Heaven-Defying Dao Lord in Dao Merge is not high. After he dies, I can travel to other places and actively seek out talented Ancient Cultivator. That's much faster than waiting here slowly."

"Brother, I'm not like you. Do you know how many years it's been since I've had a truly enjoyable journey through the deeper layers of spacetime?"

"."

The Black Bird chattered on and on, while the white-clad figure's expression remained largely unchanged. After a moment's thought, he said, "Observe further and don't make any hasty decisions."

"Alright, but you'd better hurry, brother, otherwise once Dao Lord leaves, I don't know how many more years we'll have to wait!" the Black Bird said.

"Since he has been here for eight thousand years without leaving, he must be planning to use this Time Acceleration his long-term seclusion!" The white-robed man glanced at the Black Bird and then said:

"In that case, you two are somewhat destined to meet. If you hadn't affected the flow of time here, he wouldn't have come here!"

"Yes, yes, what a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Black Bird nodded in agreement. If it weren't for fate, how could he have felt that this Dao Lord was not bad at first glance?

Later, he discovered that his talent was also somewhat outrageous, so he took the initiative to approach him.
