Chapter 1710: 1710
"Of course, we've seen him before! It hasn't been too long since Kong shi left this dimension after all!" The Heavenwood Greenserpent nodded affirmatively as if it was the most natural thing in the world .
"It hasn't been long since Kong shi left this dimension?" A deduction surfaced in Zhang Xuan's mind, and he hurriedly asked, "How long has it been since Kong shi left this dimension?"
The Heavenwood Greenserpent pondered for a moment before replying, "Roughly four hundred years, I suppose!"
"Indeed!" Zhang Xuan's body shuddered at having his hypothesis verified .
He had thought that it was odd when the Heavenwood Greenserpent said that Kong shi had brought them here, but he did not think that they were lying to him . There was no reason for them to lie to him .
Instead, he thought that this anomaly could be attributed to a difference in the flow of time instead . Most likely, the flow of time within the folded space was slower than the flow of time on the Master Teacher Continent, or else the divine beasts would have already been reduced to a pile of bones by now .
The words that the Heavenwood Greenserpent had just said effectively verified his deduction .
Doing a rough calculation, it had been around forty thousand years since Kong shi left the Master Teacher Continent . Yet, in the eyes of the Heavenwood Greenserpent, it had only been four hundred years since he had left . Did this not mean that the flow of time within the folded space was a hundredth of the world outside?
In other words, the passing of a day in this folded space equated to the passing of a hundred days in the Master Teacher Continent!
If such time deceleration could be used on an Ancient Sage, the latter would be able to extend their lifespan significantly without resorting to hibernation .
No, this doesn't work either… With my mastery of temporal arts, I should be able to notice it if there's any difference in the flow of time . Yet, why do I not sense anything at all? Zhang Xuan wondered with a frown .
Having comprehended the Time Quintessence, he was no longer as ignorant of time as he had been before . If there was a difference in the flow of time, he surely would have noticed it . Yet, that was not the case . Why was it so?
Forget it, there's no point thinking about it now… I'll probably find my answer once I get to the Temple of Confucius!
Unable to figure out the reason after some thought, Zhang Xuan shook his head and tossed the matter to the back of his mind .
He turned to the five divine beasts and said, "Bring me to the exit!"
The Heavenwood Greenserpent led the way forward .
The cavern was spacious, and there was a huge hole in the middle where a pool of lava flurried . It felt like anything in the world would melt within the pool of lava .
"This is… the exit?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting .
No matter how he looked at it, all he could see was the crater of a volcano . It was hard to imagine that the Temple of Confucius was located within the crater .
"I'm not too sure about the details either . Back then, Kong shi instructed the five of us to guard this area, so we guessed that it's the passageway leading to the Temple of Confucius!" the Heavenwood Greenserpent explained .
Kong shi's wisdom was expansive and transcendental . It was not something that beasts like them could fathom .
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan activated the Eye of Insight and scanned his surroundings, but he was unable to find any indicative signs at all . In the end, he could only shake his head .
"For the time being, you should enter my folded space . Whether the passageway lies within the crater or not, I'll just have to check to find out!"
Knowing that he would not find anything dawdling in the area, Zhang Xuan stowed the beasts into the Myriad Anthive Nest with a wave of his hand . After that, he leaped right into the pool of lava .
Given how even the Empyrean Heavenly Flame was unable to burn his physical body, there was no way that he would fear mere lava . As searing as it was, such heat could not bother him anymore .
He continued to swim downward for a while longer . Soon, a spatial seal reminiscent of that in the Subterranean Gallery appeared before him . Without any hesitation, he dived through the spatial seal .
Hula!
The world warped around Zhang Xuan, placing him in a short state of disorientation . By the time that he recovered from his light-headedness, he was already standing in a completely different world .
The area that the five divine beasts lorded over was a forest with lush greenery, but the land that he was currently standing on was a desert . Intolerable heat waves swept across the surface of the sand, and the entire world seemed to be covered with an endless shade of beige . There was no end in sight .
"Is this the exit you spoke of?" Zhang Xuan sighed helplessly .
From the looks of it, it felt like he had leaped from one folded space to another . However, this folded space did not seem to have anything to do with the Temple of Confucius at all!
