Thank you brother "Good Rain in September" for your reward and support~

Another day has passed, summer has ended, autumn has come, the leaves are rustling, and the world is withered.
Chen Xi continued to move forward, feeling tired and tired, letting his mind wander until he passed through autumn and ushered in the cold winter, and finally stopped.
Looking back again, in an instant, the scene in front of me completely changed.
It is still the peach blossom forest, in full bloom, with lush vegetation, and the bright spring breeze is almost intoxicating. It is spring.
The place where Chen Xi stood was clearly the place where he had just stepped into the "Realm of Time". Looking around, the spring scenery was as picturesque as what he had seen before.
"As we move forward, the years stretch into infinity, and suddenly we look back, and the situation goes back to the beginning... The changes of time are indeed the most difficult to fathom."
Chen Xi was stunned for a long time, and the scene in his field of vision suddenly changed. The sceneries of spring, summer, autumn, and winter were constantly changing and overlapping.
This change, between eternal night and day, is reflected in the changes of landscapes, which may be full of vitality, flourishing, desolate and withered, or dead and desolate...
The blooming of peach blossoms, the blooming of summer lotus, the peeling of autumn leaves, the withering of winter trees... they are all filled with traces of time.
There is an ancient saying that "youth disappears in an instant, and beauty grows old in a snap".
At this moment, in Chen Xi's mind, the alternation of four seasons, the rotation of day and night, the decline and prosperity of all things... and even the vicissitudes of time and the changes in history all came to mind at this moment.
Then, he began to close his eyes and meditate, release his mind, soar in the changes he felt at this moment, and feel the invisible traces of time filled in it.
Where is the time?
It's everywhere!
Birth, old age, sickness and death, all things change, the ups and downs overlap... There are traces of time in all things.
Therefore, Chen Xi can feel time without capturing it, but his consciousness cannot reach it, so he cannot comprehend it.
However, Chen Xi is not in a hurry. Enlightenment is the most important thing.
What is in my heart and what I feel in my heart is "enlightenment".
In layman's terms, enlightenment is the heart's perception of the Tao. When the heart feels something, the Tao comes to me, this is enlightenment.
Gradually, Chen Xidao's heart fell into silence, his mind condensed and released, the sky was clear and quiet, and he was immersed in the search for the power of time.
The sky, the earth, and everything around here seemed to have stopped.
Likewise, Chen Xi has forgotten everything in this world, even time and himself.
It was in this wonderful situation that his whole body suddenly seemed to fall into an endless abyss of time, and all his consciousness, strength, even spirit, life... were all passing quickly!
Throughout the ages, countless stunning and beautiful people have gained nothing while comprehending the power of time, but their heads turned gray overnight and their bodies turned into ashes.
The reason is that time is the supreme power of heaven. Once it is touched, if it cannot be understood, it will suffer the backlash of the power of time, which is extremely risky.
Chen Xi had fully realized all of this when he sensed the traces of time, but now he could no longer look back.
What is before him is an endless abyss of time. If he can realize it, he can achieve the great road. If he cannot realize it, his longevity and life are destined to pass in the abyss of time...
In other words, at this moment, Chen Xi has touched the threshold of the power of time, and his realization has just begun!
…
Beyond the borders of time.
Hua Jiankong, who was dressed in gray and had white hair, stood silently, but his eyes were so deep and bright that he seemed to be able to spy on everything in the "realm of time".
The moment Chen Xi began to touch the power of time, his eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, and his divine light burst out, "What an amazing understanding!"
But immediately, Hua Jiankong couldn't help but become slightly nervous.
Beings at his level have already controlled the power of time, so they know that Chen Xi's understanding of the power of time has just begun, and this process is bound to be extremely dangerous.
Because that is the power of time!
In an instant, it can turn a person from prosperity to decline, and his lifespan can be exhausted and turned into ashes. It can also, in an instant, make a person return to the past and lose everything he has now!
In other words, the horror of time is that when it extends infinitely, it can exhaust the life span of an immortal, but when it is looked back in time, it can return a supremely powerful person to the state of a child!
These two terrifying powers are also called "The Boundless Time" and "The Retrospective Time".
For example, beings in the Immortal King Realm can exhaust a person's lifespan in an instant with just a thought, or can make a person "rejuvenate". However, in this case, the power and cultivation level he possesses will also be deprived.
It's like a strong man returning to the starting point of the road!
From this we can know how terrifying the power of time is.
However, if two Immortal Kings were to confront each other, since both of them control the power of time, there would not be such a tragic end.
"It's truly remarkable. It only took a few days and we have already touched the threshold of the power of time."
Just when Hua Jiankong was slightly nervous, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears. He suddenly turned his head and saw Meng Xinghe, the dean of Daohuang Academy, standing beside him at some unknown moment.
"Master."
Hua Jiankong cupped his fists and saluted.
Meng Xinghe, as usual, had a face as young as a young man, but his eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time. His whole person was like a vast starry sky. Standing there casually, one could not help but look up at him.
"Jiankong, how many years do you think it will take for Chen Xi to comprehend the power of time?" Meng Xinghe asked with a smile.
Hua Jiankong thought for a while and said, "I can't say for sure."
He really didn't dare to make any assumptions. The reason was that after years of knowledge, he was completely unable to use common sense to measure Chen Xi.
This guy is so evil, and everything he does is unexpected. Under such circumstances, Hua Jiankong doesn't dare to speculate anymore.
Meng Xinghe smiled, as if he understood Hua Jiankong's thoughts very well, and said: "I originally planned to wait for him to completely control the Dao Emperor's inheritance before meeting him again. Unfortunately, time was not with me, so I had to do it in advance.
Some preparations.”
Hua Jiankong's heart trembled, "Isn't it time to follow me? Is there something big happening in these three realms?"
Meng Xinghe didn't say much about this, but just told him: "Within a hundred years, whether Chen Xi can advance to the half-step Immortal King level, you must bring him to see me."
After that, he turned around and left.
Hua Jiankong was stunned. A hundred years? Why do you do this? Could it be that in a hundred years, the catastrophe of the Three Realms will break out in advance?
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
…
The state of time.
The invisible power of time enveloped Chen Xi, and his life and longevity seemed to have passed by for thousands of years at this moment.
His long hair fell to the ground, growing crazily, and his face gradually matured, taking on a weather-beaten look. As a saint, he could always look young, but with the rapid passage of his lifespan, he could not look any better at all.
Can't hide it.
His hair began to turn from black to gray, then gray again...
His skin began to show the ravines and fine lines of time, and his face became more and more vicissitudes of life.
All this is because, at that moment, the power of time was flowing inside and outside his body and mind, and his longevity and life were passing away at an extremely terrifying speed.
Immortals are said to live as long as the heavens, but they do not exist forever after all. They also have their limits. Although Chen Xi has been practicing for less than a thousand years, with his cultivation in the Saint Immortal Realm, his lifespan is long enough for him to have no worries.
It lasts for tens of millions of years.
But if calculated based on the rate at which his lifespan elapses now, I'm afraid that within a hundred years, his lifespan will be completely overdrawn and he will be exhausted and die!
This is the terrifying thing about the power of time.
If Chen Xi cannot understand the mystery, then his path of cultivation will probably stop here.
However, Chen Xi seemed unaware.
The power of time is surging, the white hair is falling, and the face is vicissitudes of life, like a sculpture eroded by the wind, sitting quietly and silently, but unable to stop the polishing of time.
So it has been for the past twenty years.
Twenty years, for ordinary immortals, is just a snap of the fingers, but for Chen Xi, who is comprehending the power of time, it has caused nearly half of his lifespan to elapse!
At this moment, his hair is as white as frost and snow, and his face is still handsome, but there is a thick aura of maturity and vicissitudes. If anyone who is familiar with Chen Xi is here at this moment, they may not be able to believe this scene.
But for Chen Xi, even if twenty years have passed, he still seems to be unaware of his own changes, silent and quietly realizing.
"It's been twenty years, how come there's been no movement at all?"
Outside the realm of time, Hua Jiankong frowned, thinking that when he understood the law of time, it only took him ten years to comprehend the power of time, "The Peaks of Time".
Although this "peak of time" is only a branch of the supreme avenue of time, just like the "flowing shadow of time" controlled by Yun Fusheng, it is not a complete avenue of time, but after all, it is the threshold of stepping into the avenue of time.
However, Chen Xi actually spent twenty years and still had no movement until now. This made Hua Jiankong feel a little bad.
You must know that in his perception, Chen Xi is a monster-like peerless person, but now he seems to have encountered difficulties in comprehending the power of time and has made no progress. This has to worry Hua Jiankong.
"Is it possible that he was a little too hasty?"
Hua Jiankong's brows furrowed even more. He knew very well that Chen Xi had only been promoted to the Holy Immortal Realm for a few years, and before he understood the power of time, Chen Xi had just developed his own laws of the Holy Path.
If it were an ordinary person in the Saint Immortal Realm, I am afraid that he would not be so eager to charge towards the Half-Step Immortal King Realm, but Chen Xi did so.
Now that he thought about it carefully, Hua Jiankong had to wonder whether Chen Xi was right or wrong in being so eager to understand the power of time.
"Um?"
At this moment, Hua Jiankong's eyes suddenly shrank, and he suddenly felt that Chen Xi in the realm of time was suddenly enveloped by an invisible vortex of time!
The vortex is invisible, but it is filled with the mystery of time. During the rotation, it changes into a magnificent luster as clear as glass. It is the trace of time, as if it has substance!
