Chapter 501: 501
"The Tree Progenitor will always stand guard beside the blood pool . Given my current martial cultivation, I am not a match for him . "
"Since it is so, I will practice first and raise my strength . It will not be too long before my Spiritual Power increases to 42nd level . "
Zhang Ruochen sat cross-legged at the bottom of the blood pool . A layer of space pushed the blood water away and formed a sphere .
Placing the Yin Yang Wooden Graph on the ground, he stretched out his hands and slowly unrolled the picture .
The world in the picture was expansive and wide, the mountains were extraordinary, the rivers surged, and every flower and blade of grass seemed to contain boundless spirituality .
Particularly the Sacred Prime Tree . It was lifelike . Each brush stroke was grand and majestic, and it gave one a sense of the transformations of the world .
Zhang Ruochen stretched out a palm and pressed it against the scroll . He injected his Genuine Qi into it .
SWISH!
Gradually, a portion of the inscriptions began to activate and give off a brilliant light .
It was so bright it hurt his eyes . It was like a light sword had flown up and pierced his eyes .
Zhang Ruochen could only close his eyes against his will for the time being .
When he opened his eyes again, he found that the scenery before him had changed completely .
He was now standing below a steep black mountain . Compared to the mountain, he was as insignificant as a speck of dust .
No, it was not a mountain .
It was the giant trunk of an ancient tree .
It was so thick . At first glance, it appeared like a mountain, completely blocking one's gaze .
Zhang Ruochen looked up .
He could not tell how tall the ancient tree was . Its branches passed through a layer of cloud and only a few thick branches and giant leaves could be seen through the clouds .
A single leaf was like a giant green boat floating in the sky . If it fell, it could probably cover a small mountain entirely .
This entire world was overflowing with Spiritual Qi .
"Could this be the legendary Sacred Prime Tree?" He wondered .
Suddenly, a wave of exhaustion washed over him . He felt his eyelids become heavier and heavier as his body became soft . Sitting under the tree, half his body was leaning against the tree as he slipped into a deep sleep .
In his dream, Zhang Ruochen heard an old voice call out, "Heaven and Earth become one to create millions of lives . Yin and Yang meet to create the four seasons . The sun and moon across to create the Cycle of the Universe . "
"Who is talking?"
Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes with great difficulty and his sight gradually cleared to see an elder not far away . He was performing a sword technique .
As he did so, he chanted .
Zhang Ruochen couldn't see the elder's true body .
The elder's body was like an illusory image . Sometimes it coalesced and sometimes it dissipated, even his voice was intermittent . It made it very difficult to hear what he was saying .
After an entire day of observation, Zhang Ruochen found that the elder's bodily movements and sword technique had reached an extraordinary level . It was like he was using the sword to tell some incredible truth between heaven and earth .
That truth was related to "time", so it had to be about the origin of time .
A moment, an hour, a quarter-hour, a day, a month, a season, a year, a cycle of sixty years, a Yuanhui .
It was like the origin of space: Infinity created the Tai Chi, Tai Chi created the Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang created the Four Images, and the Four Images created the Eight Trigrams .
The origin of time also came from nothing: a moment created two hours, two hours created half a day, and half a day created 365 circulations . Afterward, it created the 12 months, the four seasons, the rapid passing of time, a cycle of sixty years, and a Yuanhui .
Time was divided into nine scales: a moment, a quarter-hour, an hour, a day, a month, a season, a year, a cycle of sixty years, and a Yuanhui .
At this moment, the sword technique the elder was demonstrating seemed to be the process of the birth of time . Every move and every pose was full of mystery, it gave one an expansive and profound feeling .
"If you want to practice the Sword of Time, you must first catch the Time Mark . A mark is just a moment . "
As the elder chanted, he walked through his paces and swung his sword .
However, his sword did not have a shadow, rather, it was a streak of light and it moved at a terrifying speed .
"The first movement of the Sword of Time, Swift and Neat . "
"The second movement of the Sword of Time, Eight Changes of Scale . "
