ravaged, the dying summer harvest gasped for breath. A massive thunderbolt spear pierced through one of the giant's eyes, blood oozing out, seared by lightning. A tiny figure stood on the giant's che...Of course Lu Cheng nodded in agreement, and even took out his little notebook.

"Lord Lu, are you really content with only half-understanding"

Just tell me.

"Don't you consider the bodhisattvas, such as Guanyin and Mahasthamaprapta"

"If you keep dawdling, I won't buy it anymore!"

"Alright, alright, Master Lu, don't worry." The little monk pulled Lu Chengxi down to sit: "Do you know that one day in heaven is a thousand years on earth"

"Got it." Lu Cheng nodded.

This is a common setting in Xianxia novels, intended to portray the grandeur of the Immortal Realm. However, after Lu Cheng touched upon the Laws of Time, he realized that things might not be as simple as they seemed.

"Knowing the what, do you also know the why" the monk asked.

Lu Cheng fell into thought.

When I opened my eyes again, all that was before me was a blank table.

Slowly draw the rule card with your hand and place it on the table.

Noodle count: sixty.

As soon as it was let go, time seemed to pass like a countdown had begun for that card.

This Temporal Law is bestowed by the Xingguang Star.

It is equivalent to holding the sixty years of the Eastern Han Dynasty in your hand.

As long as one party's domain serves as the carrier, and enough driving energy is invested, such as spiritual energy, under sufficient mental focus, it can be struck.

Facing an opponent who lacks the laws of time, having such a "walking law" on one's own table is equivalent to creating a mortal era within a single turn.

This round, the opponent's forces inexplicably increased by sixty turns worth of troop buildup, although they were only limited to the troop types from the Three Kingdoms period.

From their own perspectives, both sides are rigid and entrenched, those in positions of power having only taken a single step.

And on the table, this mortal realm constructed from a domain card and a time rule card has already gone through sixty rounds.

Is it equivalent to, one year in heaven, and sixty years on earth.

Lu Cheng slowly closed his eyes.

"Master, I understand some of it."

"Landlord Lu, you treat time as a resource, far surpassing ordinary people. Have you ever thought about where your own year's worth of time resources come from" The little monk's voice echoed in his ears.

Lu Cheng opened his eyes again and looked at the top of the poker table.

"The little master's meaning... Perhaps my time comes from a higher plane"

"I cannot confirm that. Perhaps there are heavens beyond the Nine Heavens, and you and I are merely characters in a boring book, playing out a tedious story. And the reader, in a day, a month, a year, can read through your entire life and mine."

Lu Cheng curled his lips: "I wouldn't worry too much. Living in the present is more important than anything else."

"Very well, Master Lu is indeed magnanimous. Then let's get down to business." The monk's voice echoed, "Master, you have a year that equals sixty years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Haven't you noticed that your time resources are significantly more advanced"

"If we really consider time as a resource, then that's true." Lu Cheng picked up the [Eastern Han] on the table with his left hand and examined it carefully. "But in fact, although time can be quantified, there's no such thing as high or low, right"

"Take another look, my good sir"

Lu Cheng flipped the card over.

I gasped.

The Time Oracle card was initially nearly transparent, as if foreshadowing his fundamental lack of understanding of time. He couldn't concretely perceive what time truly was, only able to overlay the transparent card onto others, representing time encompassing everything.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty, cards began to have colors and patterns. Those small cards represented the magnificent lives of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms period.

Now........

Suddenly, a ☆ appeared on the card that was completely blank just now!

You have mastered a complete Level 1 Temporal Law, your "Concept of Time" has ascended, and your "Divine Sense" has ascended to the ranks of Heavenly Immortals.

Your main body will no longer have a regular HP counter. Unless you are directly attacked or your field body card is defeated, you will not exit the game due to the end of a turn.

Since you possess the Time Law, adding Time as a Resource Card, you can now exchange high-star Energy and Temporal Stars. You can now use "Time" to enhance any card that can be enhanced by Time. Note that when a high-star Era card is played, it will overwrite your allies' lower-star Eras. This method is called Epoch Shift. This card can negate the opponent's same-star Era.

Enlightenment.

To attain enlightenment is to be in the mountain yet see beyond it, to stand outside and observe.

Lu Cheng let out a long sigh.

"Master, after years of learning, I've grasped time rather well. But what about space What's the connection between space and time My understanding of time has changed, but my siblings are still stuck. I need to..."

"Master Lu, I have never told you about time. That was your own realization. All along, I have only been talking to you about space."

Did you say anything

"That's it."

"Not..." Lu Cheng wanted to ask further, but as he looked around, there were no other monks beside him.

"Little Master, don't leave!! Let's talk about two more coins!!!" Lu Cheng shouted. "You took my merit points and this is all you say I was almost enlightened myself, you know!"

No response.

........

Lu Cheng shook his head dejectedly.

What a pain! What an idiot!

Is it useless to say so

That's a little bit.

Lu Cheng advanced his concept of time by a few days.

I tried it.

High-star energy........

Just say it's fairy qi.

Any kind of fairy qi can be converted with time and stars.

and time, this resource...

It's not about extending lifespan.

It is not the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, it cannot control life and death, flesh and bones.

Even if an immortal used their fairy qi to bestow time upon a frail old man, it would only allow his corpse to continue existing in the passage of time after death.

The presence of a corpse also demonstrates the existence of time.

To make the elderly live in time is another matter altogether.

To use fairy energy to create time, wouldn't that be pointless...

Extremely wrong.

The extra fairy qi used to create time is also extra!

For example, create a century.

This 100 years has been exceptionally independent.......

And draw another map of a realm and some creatures, that's a hundred-year era card.

To the outside world, it seemed like a moment had passed, but in reality, a hundred years had gone by.

In an instant, you can have a whole generation's worth of time over your opponent.

tsk.

Lu Cheng sighed with emotion, saying that as long as he had enough energy, he could now create era-defining cards like Xing Jun.

The power of the Seven Stars, created at the time of its birth, a thousand-year war appears as just an instant to the outside world.

In that instant, a thousand rounds of combat were concluded!

At this time, it's possible that the joint forces of the King of Time, Space, and Physics could help us survive in the wilderness...

But that's a given.

Get out of the Heavenly Tribulation realm!!!

Four Heavenly Tribulations, Four Dimensions.

The little master said half a sentence, and the person ran away.......

Lu Cheng wailed, he had already ascended to immortality with his divine thoughts, his abilities at this time would have earned him the title of "Four-Value Imperial Minister" in the Heavenly Realm.

It feels good now.

What on earth does the master want to do!

This old geezer is probably out of energy, tired and nearsighted. He got the wrong paper, huh the sky last. All he wants is to go out and chop these three people into pieces!Since your goal, senior brother, is to travel the world, you will naturally hear who these people are.The Monkey King h...
