The River of Time flowed eternally.

As Zhang Ruochen traveled to the distant past. He passed by the Middle Ages and saw with their own eyes the destruction of Kunlun, with only Saint Monk Xumi guarding it.

They also saw the stunning grace of the Immovable Wisdom King in the ancient period.

Passing through the ancient period, they saw the rise and prosperity of the

Path of Confucianism, the Path of Taoism, the Path of Buddhism, the Path of Demon, and the myriad Paths of the heavens. One by one, the influential figures of the past, whether it was to bestow wisdom, save every being from suffering, or went to the ends of the earth to preach.

The legendary Qi Practitioners had fallen in the ancient period.

But passing through the Mystical Age, the Mythical Age, and the Hadean Time, he did not know how many Yuanhui periods had passed before he reached the Phanerozoic Time.

In the Phanerozoic Time, Zhang Ruochen found the figures of the Qi Practitioners and the cultivators of the Path of Wiccan several times. To be precise, their nascent souls and Wiccan souls were mighty. They had passed through time and space and entered the long River of Time before he saw them.

They didn’t meet.

No one attacked him. Maybe they didn’t notice him, or perhaps they just thought he was part of the heavenly secrets.

Since the Middle Ages, Zhang Ruochen has encountered all kinds of interceptions and attacks.

Some of them he could recognize from the timeline he came from, such as the Fane of Time and the Fane of Destiny. But most of them he didn’t recognize from his time.

He only recognized a few influential figures who had opened the way for him, such as the Immovable Wisdom King, Tian MO, Confucius forefather, Buddha, Ancestral Swordmaster…

Most of the time, he did not know them at all.

After coming to the Phanerozoic Time, Zhang Ruochen had not been attacked again.

Because there had been a catastrophe at the end of the Phanerozoic Time, and almost all the inheritances had been cut off. No matter how powerful the Qi Practitioners and the Path of Wiccan’s cultivators, after the Phanerozoic Time, had entered the Hadean Time. The precepts of heaven and earth had changed, but they had not fallen.

The three paths of Kunlun had emerged in the later stage of the Hadean Time. They defeated the declining ancient Wiccans and Qi Practitioners.

After passing through the upper, middle, and lower stages of the Phanerozoic Time, Zhang Ruochen did not see any human cultivators in the River of Time

anymore.

After the Phanerozoic Time, it was the Ancestral Age.

It was said that the Ancestral Age was extremely chaotic, and there were myriads of races. Humans were born during this age. Unfortunately, humans at that time could only survive in the cracks between the myriads of races.

Of course, there were also powerful humans born in the Ancestral Age who could challenge the top powerhouses of the myriads of races.

For example, the First Man.

It was impossible to determine whether the First Man existed or not. However, at least there were still legends about him in later generations. There were even rumors that he was the first cultivator to master time and space at the same time.

He passed through the various periods of the Ancestral Age and came to the Archean Time.

Finally, there was no longer only one River of Time in Zhang Ruochen’s vision.

The River of Time gradually became blurry, and colorful, chaotic Qi appeared on the river’s surface. The power of time and space became chaotic.

Rumble

The Sumeru Temple kept shaking. The cracks on the ground became wider and wider.

Zhang Ruochen looked up at the sky and saw clusters of bright nebulae flying rapidly downstream of the River of Time. To be exact, it was an illusion created by the Sumeru Temple as it kept moving forward.

“Legend has it that the entire universe was in chaos during the Archean Time. The archean creatures born during this period were all very powerful. They were born naturally and could directly swallow and breathe the Qi of chaos. They mainly cultivated their bodies.”

“Unfortunately, at the end of the Archean Time, planets began to be born in the universe. The precepts of heaven and earth changed again. Those powerful archean creatures couldn’t reproduce and almost died.”

As he continued forward, Zhang Ruochen could no longer see planets or nebulas.

The River of Time became fainter. Archean creatures often flew over his head.

Their bodies were enormous. They were even more shocking than the phoenix Zhang Ruochen saw at the end of the Middle Ages.

After many years, Zhang Ruochen finally passed through the Archean Time and arrived at the Precambrian Time.

The Precambrian Time was the place where space and time were born.

At this time, there was no universe, no creatures, and even the Qi of chaos had just been born. The space was filled with all kinds of particles and precepts.

The space was highly compressed, and the temperature was so high that the gods could not resist it.

BOOM!

Under the space’s compression and the high-temperature refinement, the Sumeru Temple shook even more violently. Even many Canon of Dimension and Canon of Time seemed unable to resist it.

The River of Time below still existed, but it was already as faint as a shadow.

Looking along the River of Time, Zhang Ruochen finally saw the river’s end.

It was pitch-black, like a black hole without any light. But countless particles and precepts gushed out from it.

If it weren’t for the protection of the Canon of Time and Canon of Dimension, even gods would die instantly.

Zhang Ruochen tried hard to calm his excitement and shock because he knew that Sumeru Temple wouldn’t last long. He didn’t come here to see what space and time looked like when they were born. He wanted to fuse with the Grade One Saintwill.

Saint Monk Xumi was willing to sacrifice himself to send Zhang Ruochen here. Zhang Ruochen could not bear to let Saint Monk Xumi down.

But the Saint cultivator didn’t tell him the connection between coming here and fusing with the Grade One Saintwill was? Zhang Ruochen was extremely anxious, but he had no idea.

In terms of understanding the Path, Time, and Space, Zhang Ruochen was more than 100,000 times worse than Saint Monk Xumi.

Saint Monk Xumi might have figured out the key to condensing the Grade One Saintwill. Still, Zhang Ruochen was only a Supreme Saint who had cultivated for less than 1,000 years. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t possibly know the truth of the world.

Zhang Ruochen rushed into the hall. First, he put his hands together and bowed to Saint Monk Xumi’s corpse, then he asked, “Master, before you died, you entered the realm of Buddha. You must have seen some heavenly secrets at that moment and learned the method to condense the Grade One Saintwill.

That’s why you chose me 100 ,ooo years later. Now that we’ve reached our destination, shouldn’t you tell me the method to condense?”

The hall was dead silent.

Only the sound of the walls breaking could be heard.

“Master, stop joking around. Just say something, even if it’s just a word.

Master. Master. Master….”

“Master, I didn’t mean to not call you that. It’s just that you’ve never formally accepted me as your disciple. Besides, I’ve never called you master before. I can’t change my mind all of a sudden.”

Zhang Ruochen knelt in front of Saint Monk Xumi’s corpse. He grabbed his shoulders and shook them gently. He begged sincerely, “Master, we don’t have much time left. Please pull yourself together. You’re Buddha. Can you send me to the West? I don’t believe you can send me here in the future, but you don’t even have the strength to say a word.”

There was still dead silence.

“Master, do you really want me to understand on my own? I’m under too much pressure!”

Zhang Ruochen looked at Saint Monk Xumi, who had his eyes closed and his head lowered. He knew that the old man had passed away long ago. He sighed dejectedly and let go of his hands. “I’ve asked too much. I’m sorry, master, for disturbing you!”

Zhang Ruochen bowed again and walked out of the hall.

The space in front of him was squeezed even more. All kinds of particles were concentrated. The Sumeru Temple shook and stopped.

Cracks covered the ground.

The walls of the ancient temple kept collapsing.

Zhang Ruochen collected the rainbow vine planted using the Stellar Soul of God and wrapped it in the Portrait of the Sixth Buddha’s Zen to prevent it from being destroyed along with the Sumeru Temple.

“If the master knew the method to condense the Grade One Saintwill, he would have told me in some way. Since he didn’t tell me, he doesn’t know the method either.”

“He’s probably guessing there might be a chance to condense the Grade One

Saintwill in the place where time and space were born.”

“I still have to rely on myself.”

Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and calmed his chaotic heart.

He had cultivated for many years in the River of Time. His spiritual power had long broken through to the 69th level, and his Saint Soul was far stronger than before. Even the Precepts in him had exceeded 20 billion, reaching a level that other Hundred -Shackle Realm Supreme Saints had never reached.

With the help of time and Canon of Dimension, his time and space attainments had improved by several levels.

It was almost impossible for other cultivators to condense the tenth type of saintwill.

However, Zhang Ruochen was confident that he could condense the Time and Dimension Saintwill to reach the tenth level.

But now, the key was not to condense the tenth type of saintwill but to cultivate what kind of Time and Dimension Saintwill could better integrate with the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill and reach perfection.

“Time and space, yin-yang, five elements.”

“Time and space, yin-yang, five elements.”

Zhang Ruochen kept repeating this. The memories in his mind began to play back from here.

From the beginning of time and space, all kinds of particles and the precepts of heaven and earth burst out. Then, the chaotic Qi was born and entered the Archean Time.

The chaotic Qi gave birth to the archean creature.

Then, the Ancestral Age, the Phanerozoic Time, the Hadean Time, the Mythical age, the Mystical Age, the Archean Time, the High Age, and the Middle Age, one after another, scenes kept flashing in his mind.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen opened his eyes.

In his mind, all the images were pulled back instantly and condensed into one point.

Zhang Ruochen looked into the distance at the black hole constantly spewing out particles and precepts. A smile appeared on his lips. He said, “That is where time and space, yin and yang, and the five elements are born. It contains everything. Although it doesn’t contain all rivers and everything. However, all rivers and all phenomena are derived from here.”

Boom

Perhaps sensing Zhang Ruochen’s thoughts, the temple continued to move forward, rushing toward the singularity where space was born.

It was Canon of Time and Canon of Dimension that drove the temple.

Canon of Time and Canon of Dimension burned at the same time.

Zhang Ruochen came to the main hall and turned into a small figure. He sat cross-legged on Saint Monk Xumi’s palm.

He had thought of a way to combine the five elements of yin and Yang and the nine saintwills of time and space. However, he did not know whether it would work or not. He could only try once.

Moreover, he could only try once.

The Canon of Time and the Canon of Dimension were burning. Once they were burned out, he would die without a doubt.

The first step that Zhang Ruochen needed was to fuse the Fire Saintwill of the five elements with the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill before the two canons burned out.

Only in this way, even if his physical body, Saint Soul, and spiritual power were shattered into particles, the yin-yang five elements could make these particles condense and not disperse.

Of course, the premise was that his will and spiritual power were strong enough. Even if he was shattered into particles, he still had to be able to maintain the Yin Yang Five-Element Saintwill.

Only by doing this first step could he grasp a chance to merge the Time Saintwill and Dimension Saintwill in the second step and reach an absolutely perfect state.

As for what kind of Time saintwill and Dimension Saintwill to condense, Zhang Ruochen still had no idea.

The chances of success and survival were less than one in ten million.

Zhang Ruochen can only go beyond his limits!
