Time Wheel Hourglass

Night.

Tagor Desert, Mo City.

Inside the underground Ice Cellar of a map shop.

"Alas! It's all because of this damned seal!"

"I, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, was once considered one of the ten strongest experts in the entire Jia Ma Empire."

"Who would have thought that I would fall to such a state? Fate truly toys with people!"

Having once again failed to break through the Serpent Seal, Hai Bodong could not help but sigh in discouragement.

"Little fellow! Do you desire power?"

At that moment, an extremely strange voice suddenly rang out in Hai Bodong's mind.

"May I ask which great being you are, Senior?"

Sensing that the other party seemed to be an existence beyond his understanding, Hai Bodong spoke somewhat fearfully.

"Haha! I am Chaos Tide: Qing!"

"I like chaos and hate order."

"In my view, only chaos is the true essence of the entire multiverse."

"In the endless future, all worlds will inevitably remain in eternal chaos."

"The order those intelligent beings speak of!"

"In my eyes, it is merely a brief pause between one chaos and the next."

"And the entire multiverse, according to my understanding, was born from a conscious thought."

"And for a life-form such as myself, the essence of consciousness is a collection of countless forms of chaos."

"My consciousness travels through endless multiverses every moment."

"And during that process, I casually scatter many seeds imbued with the power of chaos."

"What I wish to ask now is this: are you willing to become a newly born Chaos Seed in exchange for power?"

After carefully listening to the statement of this great existence named Qing.

Hai Bodong was still rather bewildered.

He could not help but cautiously ask, "May I ask, Senior, do I have the right to refuse?"

As for Hai Bodong's question.

Chaos Tide, one of the multiverse's creator demon gods, gave no response whatsoever.

After some time.

Having waited in vain for an answer, Hai Bodong suddenly discovered.

That within his mind.

Some strange changes seemed to be taking place.

About half an hour later, Hai Bodong finally saw the exact changes within his mind.

"Uh, why has a floating golden hourglass suddenly appeared in my sea of consciousness?"

"Could it be... this thing is the Chaos Seed that great being spoke of?"

Having discovered that a golden hourglass was floating within his sea of consciousness.

Hai Bodong wondered inwardly.

Just then.

A voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

Time Wheel Hourglass activated: Thank you for your use!

Immediately afterward, a row of information that left Hai Bodong puzzled appeared at the corner of his vision.

Host: Hai Bodong

Dou Qi Realm: Peak Dou Ling (Sealed State)

Soul Realm: Late Mortal Realm

Divine Blood Realm: Unawakened

Cultivation Method: Mysterious Ice Art (Mysterious Rank High)

Dou Skills: Ice Spirit Armor (Mysterious Rank Low), Ice Round Blade (Mysterious Rank Low), Mysterious Ice Whirlwind Kill (Mysterious Rank Low), Ice Wings (Mysterious Rank Middle), Multiple Ice Layers (Mysterious Rank High), Condensing Ice Mirror (Mysterious Rank Middle), Mysterious Ice Giant Shield (Mysterious Rank High), Multiple Ice Blades (Mysterious Rank High), Mysterious Ice Dance (Mysterious Rank High), Ice Blade Storm (Mysterious Rank High), Cold Qi Condensation (Mysterious Rank Low), Mysterious Ice Spike Wall (Mysterious Rank High), Mysterious Ice Giant Cone (Mysterious Rank High), Myriad Flowers Ice Mirror (Earth Rank Low), Mysterious Ice Dragon Soar (Earth Rank Low)...

Time Wheel Hourglass: Can be activated

Looking at this information.

Hai Bodong muttered to himself in confusion:

"What exactly is this so-called Chaos Seed? How does it know my basic information so well?"

"And what exactly does this so-called Divine Blood Realm mean?"

"How did I not know that there was something like divine blood within my body? Could this also be a gift bestowed upon me by It?"

After Hai Bodong continued focusing his attention on the Time Wheel Hourglass within his mind.

He received a brief piece of information.

It was the operating guide for the Time Wheel Hourglass.

After spending some time absorbing it.

The once-confused Hai Bodong.

Clearly understood the exact function of this Chaos Seed known as the Time Wheel Hourglass.

Through the power of the Time Wheel Hourglass, he could travel to another unknown world.

And after every journey.

He would need to wait through a three-month cooldown before he could travel back to the world he originally came from.

As for the difference in the flow of time between the two worlds, he did not know what principle it was based on.

After he traveled to another world, time in the original world would remain frozen.

Therefore, the location where he arrived after each journey depended on where he had activated the Time Wheel Hourglass during his previous journey.

Finally, there was the information concerning the Divine Blood Realm.

According to what he had learned, it seemed to be a cultivation system from another world.

Originally, there had been no bloodline power within his body. The reason he now possessed this strange bloodline.

Was also because the Chaos Seed known as the Time Wheel Hourglass.

Had used a special energy produced during its fusion with him to transform both his soul and physical body.

"Alas! At this point, I, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, have nothing left to lose."

"Since that is the case, I shall try this so-called travel function of the Time Wheel Hourglass today!"

Hai Bodong thought inwardly.

Then, Hai Bodong began attempting to activate the power of the Time Wheel Hourglass within his sea of consciousness.

At once, a dazzling flash of light appeared.

Hai Bodong's entire body instantly turned into nothingness and swiftly vanished from the heavens and earth of the Dou Qi Continent.

A moment later.

A strange spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared on an azure planet in the Jie Mo Ren Universe.

This must be the other world the Time Wheel Hourglass brought me to!

The environment I am in now... uh... should roughly be some remote mountain forest.

Hai Bodong thought inwardly just after arriving.

Then Hai Bodong suddenly discovered.

That the Serpent Seal Queen Medusa had placed upon him seemed to have noticeably loosened.

Haha! My guess was correct!

The world I am in now has different world laws from the Dou Qi Continent.

The sealing power Queen Medusa planted in me has naturally been greatly weakened because of that.

Since that is the case, I should first recover my strength before continuing to explore this unknown world.

Hai Bodong thought excitedly.

Because he had long studied how to better break through Queen Medusa's Serpent Seal.

It took less than three hours.

For Hai Bodong, who had already prepared a countermeasure, to completely break the sealing power Queen Medusa had left behind.

And during that process, his Dou Qi cultivation naturally recovered to the level of a Two-Star Dou Emperor.

In truth, before Queen Medusa sealed him, Hai Bodong's Dou Qi cultivation had been at the level of a Five-Star Dou Emperor.

However, due to the aftereffects of the seal, he could still only recover to the level of a Two-Star Dou Emperor.

Without external assistance, and given Hai Bodong's far-from-outstanding cultivation aptitude.

If he wanted to regain the cultivation of a Five-Star Dou Emperor.

He would need at least several years of effort.

And from his earlier rough sensing.

The ambient energy between heaven and earth in this world seemed far inferior to that of his original world.

Therefore, if he wished to recover his former cultivation in this world purely through Dou Qi cultivation.

It might take him decades of painstaking effort.

Furthermore, according to his rough estimate.

Because of the lack of free ambient energy in this world, his rate of recovering Dou Qi here.

Would likely be greatly affected, severely weakening his ability to sustain combat.

According to Hai Bodong's rough guess.

Perhaps only by obtaining the legendary Heaven Tier Cultivation Method.

Could his future rate of recovering Dou Qi.

Avoid being drastically weakened as a result.

However, how could an unparalleled treasure like a Heaven Tier Cultivation Method be something a mere Dou Emperor like him could covet?

Such a fanciful notion.

Hai Bodong, who had always known his own limits.

Also understood very clearly.

With his current strength.

He should merely keep it as a thought in his heart.
