The Su Nü Immortal Realm barred the outside world from discerning what had happened. No one knew that another Dharma Body capable of swaying the course of the world had been born.
"A Dharma Body..." A soft sigh echoed. Ji Hao's eyes remained closed, his bearing lofty and solemn, like a true Heavenly Venerable.
After so many years, he had attained a Dharma Body once again. Unlike the Yuanshi Dao Body he had fully mastered in the past, this new Wuxiang Lingbao Dharma Body still held mysteries he needed to explore and develop.
Three breaths later, clear qi flowed past him. He opened his eyes, and an illusory river seemed to murmur within them, slowing time all around him.
He slowly rose. An utterly illusory river of time appeared around him, and against its altered flow, his movement seemed extraordinarily swift. In an instant, he was standing.
This was a wondrous Other Shore trait unique to the Jade Emperor Heavenly Record, though Ji Hao had attained a similar trait in his previous life through contemplating the Eastern Emperor Bell Fragment.
Time envelopment.
It allowed him to command the mysteries of time ahead of his realm. Its unfathomable changes and wondrous powers all lay within his grasp.
He looked up, his gaze piercing through the river of time into the Su Nü Immortal Realm's past. Dimly, he saw a vast tree swaying its branches and leaves, its color beyond description. It towered in nothingness, its lower reaches stretching into unknown distances. Its roots were nowhere to be seen, and its branches extended without end, as though supporting this immortal domain.
Its individual leaves no longer contained universes, galaxies, and nebulae, each a world unto itself. Instead, each bore its own color: fiery crimson, watery black, condensed purple lightning, or flourishing blue-green.
