Lu Qing entered seclusion this time.
He had long sensed it faintly.
Thus, nothing unexpected happened.
"To take the second step, the tribulation I must cross is..."
Lu Qing cast his gaze toward the Long River of Time.
Without question, it was the Time Tribulation he had to cross.
The Great Dao manifested three thousand Great Eras.
They were merely phantoms, like the Return Ruins of time long past.
It should be said that, in the present age, if Lu Qing wished to travel to the past or step into the future, he needed a Dao Marker.
His gaze fell upon the river, and he saw the past, as well as the future.
He saw Heavenly Secrets, and he saw Cause and Effect, saw countless destinies...
Everything seemed to unfold before his eyes.
Yet the Dao Rhyme he had merged into the Long River of Time merely stirred gently.
One figure after another stepped forth.
Each bore a different aura.
Yet anyone who saw them could not help but be moved.
Though they shared the same face, the aura they carried was somewhat different.
It was as if they were incarnations of different Great Daos of all creation.
Waves of time drifted, and the Long River of Time flowed on.
Lu Qing remained quietly above the river.
The figure shrouded in a point of radiance ahead suddenly sensed something.
He, too, lowered a gaze into the river.
"The thoughts of those who come later truly cannot be fathomed."
He did not continue watching what Lu Qing intended to do.
There was no longer any need.
As for the Long River of Time, some wished to walk the road ahead; some sought something within time; others wished to come and comprehend the Long River of Time.
All of this lay within
