Chapter 1450: 1450
Those two characters were written using a rather ancient script . That being so, there didn't seem to be any particular might or power to them . In fact, looking at them from afar, they would have looked like the scrawlings of a child who had just learned calligraphy .
But taking a closer look, one would notice that there was a unique aura imbued in those words . This was an aura that carried the scent of history, signifying the existence of an artifact that transcended through time . It had existed since ancient times, and it felt like it would continue on for many years to come . Just by looking at it, one's will seemed to drift through history, seemingly undergoing a baptism of time .
"Where is this place?" Zhang Xuan asked in astonishment .
"This is the place where the offspring of the Zhang Clan awaken their bloodlines . As long as one is of the Zhang Clan, their bloodline would be awakened by entering the Blood Reservoir, and be it their comprehension of cultivation or their understanding their occupations, they would soar by leaps and bounds!" Zhang Wuchen said .
"Awaken their bloodlines?" Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization .
It was no wonder why those two words would leave him feeling so temporally disorientated . In the first place, the Zhang Clan's bloodline was relating to the control of time, so naturally, a place where their bloodlines were activated would surely have intricate ties to the Time Quintessence .
"Zhang shi, are you interested in heading in to take a look?" Zhang Wuchen asked with a smile .
"Head in? Am I allowed to go in?" Zhang Xuan was astonished .
It was obvious how important the Blood Reservoir would be to the Zhang Clan, and yet, to invite an outsider like him in…?
"Our Blood Reservoir is only effective on offspring of the Zhang Clan . Outsiders won't be affected by it, and similarly, they wouldn't affect it either . Don't worry, it's not a big deal to go n to take a look . It's not uncommon for some guests of the Zhang Clan to request to take a look at our renowned Blood Reservoir, and from time to time, we would bring them over for a tour too . " Zhang Wuchen nodded .
Of course, those were all lies . The Blood Reservoir was a forbidden land for the Zhang Clan, such that even offspring of the Zhang Clan would have to receive permission from the elders first before they could be granted access . The reason why he created that load of nonsense was to dispel the other party's suspicions .
"I see . " On the other hand, Zhang Xuan was completely oblivious to the Third Elder's intention .
All that was on his mind at the moment was curiosity as to what would be inside the Blood Reservoir .
Considering that it was a place where unique bloodlines could be awakened, perhaps entering the grounds would grant him a deeper understanding as to the abilities of the Zhang Clan . This might put him in a better position to deal against the young prodigy in the future .
"Let's go!" Seeing the complete lack of suspicion on Zhang Xuan's face, Zhang Wuchen heaved a sigh of relief . He walked up to the seal in front of the gates, took out his token, and pressed it against the seal lightly .
Weng!
The massive gates to the Blood Reservoir slowly creaked open .
After Zhang Wuchen walked into the room, Zhang Xuan warily followed suit too . As soon as he stepped across a formation barrier erected all around the Blood Reservoir, his body immediately jolted .
It was a rather perplexing sensation that was extremely difficult to describe, but if he really had to put it in words, it would be that there was a difference in the flow of time . He could feel an incongruity in the flow of time around him
Perhaps it was because he was too accustomed to the natural flow of time that he had never really perceived it before, but as soon as he stepped into the Blood Reservoir, the difference became very apparent to him .
"This is…" Zhang Xuan asked questioningly .
"This is a folded space which our predecessors left a long time ago . It harnesses the quintessence of time . The flow of time within this space is random; it would be fast at one moment and slow at the other, so it's common for those who have entered this area for the first time to feel a little uncomfortable . However, once the bloodline of a Zhang Clan offspring fuses together with this space, he would immediately find himself descending into the river of time . In that state, the offspring's perceived time would slow down, granting him the span of a year within a single month outside . This would mean that the offspring has more time to comprehend his supporting occupations and cultivation . But of course, as the difference in the flow of time only applies to the soul, so there would be no difference in his real cultivation and mastery during this period of time . " Zhang Wuchen explained .
"So, they would be able to study for a year when only a month has passed outside?" Zhang Xuan was astonished .
Even if they couldn't achieve any concrete growth in their cultivation during this period of time, it was still an extremely formidable ability .
A year in a month, that would mean a temporal slowdown of twelvefold . In other words, the offspring of the Zhang Clan who had awakened their bloodline would be able to study at a rate twelve times faster than others as long as they were in the Blood Reservoir . . .
It was no wonder why the Zhang Clan had far more geniuses than the Luo Clan! Just this Blood Reservoir was enough to cement their position as the number one Sage Clan of the Master Teacher Continent!
Eye of Insight! After recovering from his shock, Zhang Xuan discreetly activated his Eye of Insight and began scanning the Blood Reservoir in detail .
The folded space that formed the Blood Reservoir was indeed significantly different from those he had seen in the past . Under the Eye of Insight, he saw many layers of light overlapping on one another, reminiscent of a rainbow . They were all flowing in a single direction, albeit there being some differences in their speed . If one were to move along with the flow of light, one could clearly sense a change in the flow of time around them .
