Chapter 1610: Chronowarp Heavenly Rule

Wu Yu himself was surprised that he was gaining new insights about time amidst his despair, by turning to his memories.

His experience with time manipulation so far had largely been limited to the Floating Dreams Pagoda.

Through his memory journey of a millennium, he gained new insights and experiences, which was definitely a good sign. It was enough to jumpstart his delving back into cultivation.

The passage of time was absolute, and yet it held a different meaning for cultivators depending on their realm.

In the mortal realm, 100 years was a lifetime. Before ascending, most had a few centuries. After ascending, one suddenly rose to the five and six-digit marks......

Time would seem to pass faster, but to Wu Yu, it was all the same. Except that they were refracted through the different phases of his life.

10,000 years to an immortal felt the same as a few years to a mortal. This was where time seemed to warp. As Wu Yu grasped thihs point, he felt like he had begun to make progress into the mysteries of time.

It was one of the most profound mysteries, and to be able to understand it thoroughly was not easy. Otherwise everyone would have made it part of their dao.

Fortunately, Wu Yu still had the Floating Dreams Pagoda for reference. It was full of time manipulation power, and the way it interacted with the flow of time was a constant fascination for Wu Yu. He learned from it, deriving his own knowledge about the power within.

It was a heavenly rule power, and Wu Yu’s sixth heavenly rule power.

Wu Yu had assumed that he would first complete his Dao of Big and Small from Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, or Dao of the Void from his Somersault Cloud Mystique. Yet within this sealed chamber, he had actually found a new approach to things.

Rather than harp on leaving this this place, perhaps the answer would naturally present itself after he had mastered the changing of time.

The most important thing was to reach a knowledge breakthrough. He threw all his energies into it, constantly comparing and analyzing the different passings of time during his mortal days and immortal days, synthesizing patterns.

He realized that time was a notion that changed with his lifespan. And when he was cultivating, tens of thousands of years could seem like a few years. If he could somehow replicate that special phenomenon in battle, would he not be invincible?

If he could change time in battle, so that for each breath of time his opponent had, he had ten, how many more moves could he pull off?

He could send 10 Mystiques to deal with every move!

If he had such an ability, he would be invincible within his cultivation realm. Challenging 9-heavens immortal kings would also be a piece of cake.

Dao of Time Manipulation was Wu Yu’s main focus now. He also studied the immortal designs of the Floating Dreams Pagoda to further deepen his understanding.

As he continued to learn, he finally mastered all of the Floating Dreams Pagoda’s immortal designs. A sudden epiphany struck him, and a twisting ball of light appeared on his kingly immortal spirit.

This twisting light seemed random and unordered, but actually followed an enigmatic pattern. It represented the varying speeds of time, and had coalesced into a heavenly rule. This meant that Wu Yu had completed a new heavenly rule power: chronowarp heavenly rule!

He had originally assumed that he would have to complete his daos in order, but now the order was switched.

Having reached 6-heavens immortal king realm, he was confident of taking on 9-heavens immortal kings and demon kings easily.

After mastering chronowarp heavenly rule, Wu Yu’s fighting power was unparalleled amongst those below the eternal immortal emperor realm.

This was a metamorphic change. He was surprised at his ability to make such progress within the confined chamber.

However, now that he had reached the 6-heavens immortal king realm, he was in no hurry to leave the chamber. After this revelation, he no longer minded the passing of time as much. He could calibrate his attitude at will.

After learning chronowarp heavenly rule, he first tested it out.

He realized that he could use chronowarp heavenly rule to create a chronowarp globe. Within it, he could manipulate the speed of time, and it was effective against all under the eternal immortal emperor realm.

With this, he could increase his own speed and reduce his opponent’s, which could result in vastly different outcomes during battle. Against any of the five demonic emperors, Wu Yu was confident that this heavenly rule power would allow him to triumph.

Only at the 6-heavens immortal king realm could Wu Yu finally defeat 9-heavens immortal kings. This showed the rapidly increasing difficulty of each tier.

At first, Wu Yu had only been a 1-heavens immortal king, and he could already defeat a 6 or even 7-heavens demon king.

But now he had increased by 5 tiers, he could only beat a 9-heavens immortal king, which meant that he had had to increase two tiers in order to overcome one tier, subsequently.

In any case, he was here now. The Dao of Time Manipulation’s completion was game-changing.

But this was not what Wu Yu was most overjoyed about. Rather, after he completed chronowarp heavenly rule, he realized that the room which trapped him was nothing more than a time field!

Time here passed 10,000 times faster.

Although Wu Yu and the others had felt that 50,000 years had passed, but in truth only 5 years had passed in reality. This little bit of time meant that he was left largely unaffected.

After learning this, Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi were crying with joy. They had thought that they would die of old age here, but now Wu Yu’s breakthrough had seen the chamber for what it truly was.

Especially now that Wu Yu had seen through the chamber’s secret, it seemed possible that he could eventually find a way to break it.

"Old Wu is always dependable. I always knew I made the right choice to follow him! Hehe!" Full Moon of Nanshan regained his usual jolliness. He had been pulling a long face up till now, bemoaning about how the beauties of the world were lonesome and needed his company.

"This means that the entire Eternal Emperor Tomb and Graveguarding Palace were just a sort of test? Now that Big brother Yu has passed the test, will he get a reward?" Ye Xixi was interested in this, and she was looking forward to what came next.

Full Moon of Nanshan patted her head and sighed: "Pity, pity. This handsome prince was about to settle for living with you for the rest of his life. Now it seems like this little girl won’t be so lucky."

"Eurgh!"

Ye Xixi ducked away from his porky hand in disgust. "Drop dead!"

Watching their banter lifted Wu Yu’s heart. They had all been beaten down in the chamber, and now that they were out, they had returned to normal.

After puzzling out the problem, Wu Yu wasted no time in unraveling the immortal designs on the walls.

He had originally mistaken these immortal designs for fortification designs. After learning chronowarp heavenly rule, he saw that all of them were time accelerating immortal designs, that sped up time within the chamber by 10,000 times.

He could deal with them now. All he needed was to attack them with the chronowarp heavenly rule, and he could soften them.

After familiarizing himself with the usage, he began to attack the time immortal designs with chronowarp heavenly rule. These immortal designs had remained immovable under his other attacks, but now they began to chip away.

From beyond the crack, a faint blue light shone through. This was the first sign of something new in all this time. He was gratified that he had finally found the way through.

"Follow me!"

Wu Yu broke out a path, and called Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi back into the Floating Dreams Pagoda. Shrinking himself with the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth, he flew through the crack, taking them all with him.

If the Eternal Emperor Tomb truly had been a test, then Wu Yu had passed the first trial.

But Wu Yu was curious. Would there be a second trial?

If the first trial had been this difficult, how much more insurmountable would the second one be?

Very quickly, his vision was filled with blue light, until he had thoroughly left the secret chamber. He found himself in a transparent crystal coffin of light blue. Through the coffin, he could see a stormy scene outside, where lightning and rains crossed!
