Once the exchange was complete, Qin Yun had the profound principles he wanted, and Meng Chuan had given them to him.
In return, Qin Yun gave Meng Chuan a Cultivation Technique that led straight to the Heaven-Opening Realm. According to Qin Yun, it was quite famous throughout the nearby Chaos.
He himself had once gone to considerable trouble to obtain it.
Meng Chuan smiled and took note of the favor. Qin Yun had no reason to lie to him.
Though this was an exchange, a Cultivation Technique clearly worthy of the top tier was enough to leave Meng Chuan owing him a favor.
Meng Chuan could have obtained this world's cultivation system elsewhere, but getting a Cultivation Technique of the caliber Qin Yun had given him would have required extraordinary measures.
That would have been both conspicuous and troublesome.
"Brother Qin, do you know of any worlds nearby?" Meng Chuan asked after accepting the Cultivation Technique.
"I do." Qin Yun nodded. "But they're all very far away. Even at my current strength, reaching them would take a long time."
"When I first left the Three Realms to search for other worlds, I wandered for a full two hundred thousand years. And that was only because I had a few fortunate encounters along the way that let me cross vast stretches of space-time."
Qin Yun sighed at the memory. If he had not happened upon several Space-Time Passages, finding a new world would have taken him at least several times longer!
Meng Chuan was momentarily speechless. He had only lived a little over a hundred thousand years since birth.
That familiar feeling about the passage of time...
Meng Chuan soon placed it. Wasn't this damn near the same as the passage of time in Swallowed Star?
Time was just as cheap
