Chapter 1668: 1668
"That is the Temple of Confucius?"
Taken aback by Ren Qingyuan's words, Zhang Xuan took a closer look at the newly risen sun and swiftly realized that the sun was located in a parallel dimension . Despite being within sight, it was actually an unimaginable distance away .
Or to be more exact, the distance wasn't just limited to spatial displacement but temporal displacement as well . The newly risen sun seemed to exist within the flow of time, and special means were required in order to get to it .
As for the temple within the sun, it was obscured from sight by layers of shadow . Even with the Eye of Insight, Zhang Xuan found himself unable to catch a closer look at it .
"According to history, Kong shi was once trapped by the strongest Otherworldly Demon Emperor in Chen Cai . With his deep understanding of time, he created the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn . When the artifact first came into existence, the seasons of the world were thrown into disarray by its prowess . Spring and autumn intersected one another, causing the plants to blossom at one moment and wilt in the next . Summer and winter clashed with one another, raising storms and tornados here and there . Bizarre phenomenons occurred in the places where the Great Codex of Spring Autumn shone upon . An infant aged into a middle-aged man in the blink of an eye, and an elderly awaiting his death reverted back into an infant in a heartbeat…" Recalling the content written in ancient texts, Ren Qingyuan said .
When the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn was first created, mankind was still struggling against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe . In truth, the prowess of the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn wasn't as great as what the legends put it out to be .
After Kong shi freed himself, he used the powers of the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn to lay waste upon the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe . Before long, people came to revere the artifact, resulting in its widespread fame . There was no Otherworldly Demon who didn't fear the prowess of the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn .
"The Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, the ability to manipulate the seasons… Did Kong shi comprehend the Time Quintessence as well?" Zhang Xuan asked .
This wasn't the first time he was hearing about the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, but he had never really understood what kind of capabilities it wielded . Judging by Ren Qingyuan's explanation, it seemed like it had the ability to manipulate time .
"Un, it should be the Time Quintessence… However, it's likely that what Kong shi has comprehended goes beyond just time acceleration . Based on the information we have in the records, it's likely that he has mastered time deceleration and time freeze too!" Ren Qingyuan said .
"Time deceleration and time freeze?" Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in astonishment .
Similar to how there were other Spatial Quintessences aside from the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing, the same applied to Time Quintessences as well . The Time Quintessence comprehended by the Zhang Clan was the Time Quintessence of Acceleration, which allowed a cultivator to accelerate his own time .
Through accelerating one's time, a second of the opponent's time could translate into ten seconds of one's time, thus making it appear as if the movements of the other person had slowed instead .
But other than the Time Quintessence of Acceleration, there were also the Time Quintessence of Deceleration and the Time Quintessence of Freezing!
While the Time Quintessence of Deceleration might not appear to be of much use to most cultivators, it was, in fact, the greatest weapon that human Ancient Sages had at the moment . It was through hibernation in the state of time deceleration that human Ancient Sages were able to lengthen their lifespan and continue fighting for mankind .
On the other hand, the Time Quintessence of Freezing was known to be the most difficult temporal law to comprehend . In terms of prowess, it was even stronger than the Spatial Quintessence of Sealing .
The Spatial Quintessence of Sealing could immobilize a cultivator's physical body, but the cultivator would still retain his consciousness, allowing him to remain aware of the happenings around him . On the other hand, the Time Quintessence of Freezing would even put one's consciousness to a stall . If a cultivator were to be killed in such a state, he would be thoroughly dead . He wouldn't even have a chance to revive himself!
If Kong shi had comprehended the Time Quintessence of Freezing as well, just how powerful could he be?
No matter how powerful Vicious was, he couldn't possibly have been a match for Kong shi!
"Those are conjectures made by the later generation, so they might not be accurate . However, if one thing was for sure, Kong shi had indeed infused his knowledge of temporal laws into the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn . If we could obtain the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn and acquire his heritage, that would indubitably be a huge boost to the forces of mankind! No matter how formidable the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe may be, we would be able to quell them with ease!" Ren Qingyuan said .
The power and influence commanded by the Master Teacher Pavilion were slowly accrued time . Back in the era shortly after Kong shi's departure, the Master Teacher Pavilion had only been founded not too long ago, and it was far from its current scale . While it had achieved a victory over the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, it didn't have the power or resources to destroy them once and for all . The most it could have done then was to exile them in the otherworldly battlefield…
However, mankind had grown much stronger from back then . If they could just acquire the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, they might just be able to accomplish what the predecessors had failed at!
"Indeed!" Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement .
Mankind had grown collectively stronger since Kong shi's era, but its number of top-notch experts was on the decline . No one had been able to reach Ancient Sage ever since ten thousand years ago . What mankind was severely lacking at the moment was fighting prowess in the top echelon .
If they could obtain the heritage of the World's Teacher, they would be able to resolve this problem and turn the tables on the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe!
