The Qian Yuan Sect, in a secret chamber.
Lin Heng's subconscious was completely immersed in comprehending the Law of Time.
For a full twenty days, as Lin Heng's soul realm improved dramatically, his control over the Law of Time also reached an extremely profound level.
At a certain moment, Lin Heng suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, and his body automatically floated up.
Hovering in mid-air, Lin Heng looked at a tattered spider web in the upper left corner of the secret room, where a small spider was diligently weaving its web.
Lin Heng raised his right hand and pointed it into the air.
" Time Deceleration!"
As the sound faded, the spider, which was weaving its web, almost stopped Immovable when viewed with the naked eye.
Being in a state of deceleration by 100,000 times is practically the same as being completely Immovable.
Lin Heng then raised his hand and pointed again.
" Time Acceleration!"
When the Time Deceleration disappeared, it was replaced by Time Acceleration of ten thousand times. Before you could even blink, the tattered spider web was already complete.
Just as the spider was completely bewildered, Lin Heng raised his hand and pointed again.
Time Stasis!
This time, the flow of time within the entire sealed room came to a complete standstill.
Apart from Lin Heng himself, everything here was frozen in time; even the dust that had been shaken off the eaves remained Immovable in mid-air.
After completing the experiment, Lin Heng restored the flow of time, and everything inside the secret room returned to normal.
"This is the Law of Time, truly wondrous!"
Lin Heng smiled slightly, the smile at the corners of his mouth carrying a hint of wicked charm and arrogance.
Law of Time, based on the Ninth-Turn Samsara, from the first to the third cycle, the only effect that can be applied is Time Deceleration.
Reaching the fourth to sixth rank allows one to use Time Acceleration, while reaching the seventh to ninth rank allows one to use Time Stasis.
Under normal circumstances, even for a prodigy with exceptional talent, it would take tens of millions of years to go from breaking through the Samsara Realm to comprehending the Time Stasis.
Lin Heng's ability to accomplish this in just twenty days is probably unparalleled in the entire Longevity Realm.
Of course, even Ao Zhantian, who handed the white jade to Lin Heng back then, probably never expected this.
The white jade is a special spiritual treasure crafted by Ao Zhantian. It contains a great deal of the power of laws, but this was not intentional; it was simply an unintentional infusion of his own laws during the forging of the spiritual treasure.
Unexpectedly, Lin Heng was able to comprehend this very sliver of law in just twenty days. Such talent could not even be described as monstrous.
Lin Heng broke through the barrier and emerged from seclusion, Xuchengzi immediately hosted a banquet to entertain him.
After several rounds of drinks, Xuchengzi finally began to inquire about the reason why Lin Heng had stayed in the secret room for a full twenty days.
"Brother Lin Heng, I remember that you broke through to the Samsara Realm on your first day in the secret chamber. Did you make another breakthrough after that?"
When Xuchengzi was questioning Lin Heng, his eyes darted away, as if he dared not meet Lin Heng's gaze.
Situ Jiannan secretly shook his head at Lin Heng.
Seeing Situ Jiannan's hint, Lin Heng smiled at Xuchengzi, "It's just that my aura was a bit unstable after this breakthrough, so I stayed for an extra twenty days to stabilize my realm."
This explanation makes sense, and Xuchengzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lin Heng would make another breakthrough, which would be inconvenient for the next steps of the plan.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Xuchengzi then got down to business. "Brother Lin Heng, the battle for the Origin Vein in our Qian Yuan Sect Origin Vein is about to begin. I wonder if Brother Lin Heng and Brother Sun Yuan are ready?"
Lin Heng shook his head helplessly. "To be honest, Brother Xuchengzi, some hidden dangers were left during this breakthrough. Although I treated them in time, I am not able to exert the strength of the Samsara Realm in a short period of time. Even if I go to participate in the war, I am afraid I will only be a burden to your sect."
Xuchengzi's expression darkened slightly. Originally, his plan was to wait until Lin Heng and Sun Yuan were weakened after the battle before joining forces with the Blood Demon Sect to attack them.
To Xuchengzi's surprise, Lin Heng was unable to make a move.
However, upon further reflection, Xuchengzi felt relieved. Since Lin Heng had left behind hidden dangers during his breakthrough, preventing him from fully utilizing the strength of the Samsara Realm, even if he were to attack him later, there was nothing to fear.
Furthermore, what truly frightens Xuchengzi is Sun Yuan. After all, he still can't forget the scene of Sun Yuan single-handedly killing seven Samsara Realm cultivators of the Thunderbird Clan.
After a brief moment of frowning, Xuchengzi smiled again, "Since Brother Lin Heng is unwell, then I'll trouble Brother Sun Yuan to lend a hand this time. I'll try to contact another Samsara Realm expert for help."
This time, Sun Yuan did not refuse, but readily agreed at Lin Heng's prompting.
The banquet, in which everyone harbored their own thoughts, did not end until midnight, and everyone returned to their respective homes to rest.
However, after returning to their own rooms, Situ Jiannan and Sun Yuan went to Lin Heng's place instead.
" Jiannan, has anything unusual happened during my seclusion?"
As soon as the two sat down inside, Lin Heng couldn't wait to ask.
Situ Jiannan also selected the most important matters to report.
"Master, I've noticed that Xuchengzi has been acting suspiciously lately, going out alone quite a few times. I've been secretly investigating and discovered that he always goes to a small village tens of thousands of miles away from the Qian Yuan Sect. According to the information I gathered from the villagers, Xuchengzi goes there to meet a stranger, and they always have a secret chat for a while."
Situ Jiannan's words aroused Lin Heng's suspicion.
Sun Yuan then took over the conversation. "I went out to investigate secretly once before. That person carried the aura of the Devil Race race, but I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't get close to check, and therefore couldn't get accurate information."
Based on their statements, Lin Heng could easily conclude that Xuchengzi was definitely secretly plotting something unknown to others.
However, there was one thing that puzzled Lin Heng: if it was a secret meeting, why did Xuchengzi choose a mountain village instead of an uninhabited mountain range?
Situ Jiannan provided the answer: that mountain village might hold some of Xuchengzi's secrets.
The reason for choosing that meeting place was actually so that Xuchengzi could also take the opportunity to enjoy some family time.
That's right, that mountain village has descendants of Xuchengzi, and not just one or two, but the entire village is descended from Xuchengzi.
Situ Jiannan was able to find out this information from one of Xuchengzi's descendants who was often bullied.
After all, with hundreds of descendants, it's impossible to treat them all equally, which presents a problem.
Situ Jiannan used this as a breakthrough point, and after spending a huge sum of money that even Nirvana Realm would find hard to refuse, he successfully extracted information.
From that person, Situ Jiannan also learned some more secretive things.
The fact that Xuchengzi was able to cultivate to the Samsara Realm hides a tremendous secret...
