Hearing Li Chen say this, Yu Bao's weathered face reddened, a rare sight. "Employer, what we can currently accomplish is limited. We cannot even activate it with our own magic power or the abilities of our test subjects. It seems... picky about people..."
Li Chen offered no comment. He understood this situation himself.
After obtaining the book, he had studied it briefly and unraveled its restrictions and the remnant soul will left within it by his predecessors at the Confucian Academy.
Even so, without the corresponding temporal dao spiritual root, along with a soul aura or special attribute in one's magic power, it still could not be activated.
Fortunately, Yu Bao changed tack and continued, "But through its resonance with other precious treasured materials, and by drawing it into resonance with treasures containing temporal dao laws, we have successfully identified its three major properties."
"The first is acceleration. Within an area roughly ten feet across, it can increase the flow of time anywhere from several dozen to a hundred times."
"The second is deceleration. Likewise, within roughly ten feet, it can slow the flow of time to about one percent of its normal rate."
"The third is genuine temporal stasis."
"This property is a truly absolute ability to stop time. We exhausted every instrument and used all manner of observational methods, yet detected no movement or change in the objects serving as markers..."
"Unfortunately, relative to the outside world we inhabit, its duration is extremely short-not even ten instants."
A finger snap comprised sixty instants. The duration he referred to was undoubtedly on the scale of ten milliseconds.
Li Chen felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. "There is no temporal rewind? No genuine reversal?"
Yu Bao said, "No."
Li Chen said, "But I once saw Fang Yuan use it."
