Chapter 374: One Supreme, eight ancients, he alone occupies three!

"No, no, it just strayed in by mistake. I didn't know it was Fellow Daoist Su's spirit beast, so I tied it up."

Zhang Ruochen looked at the lamb, and something came to his mind. He then asked tentatively, "Friend Su Daoist, I would like to ask you a question."

"Has this little lamb always been your spiritual animal?"

Because he seemed to remember that Li Qiye had been looking for some sheep.

He tied up the sheep not because it came to his cave to steal things, but mainly because he thought it might be the sheep that Li Qiye was looking for, so he tied it up and then did Li Qiye a favor and made him owe him one.

In fact, most of the top bosses in the universe know each other, because the higher your realm and the higher your position, the smaller your circle will be, so it is normal to know each other.

"I got it some time ago. It looked quite clever, so I took it in."

"What? Fellow Daoist, do you know the origin of this sheep?"

Su Mu asked.

"No, no, I saw it wrong."

Zhang Ruochen laughed and waved his hand quickly.

Even if the sheep that Li Qiye was looking for has now fallen into the hands of this Senior Su, the outcome is already decided. Even if Li Qiye is a reckless man, he doesn't have the courage to snatch things from this senior, right?

Unless he is tired of living and wants to reincarnate.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, have you always lived here?" Su Mu thought of something and asked.

Because he had been guarding this river for so many years, the number of residents he met living nearby could be counted on one hand.

"No, considering the time, I've only lived here for a year or two, right?"

"I forgot too. Anyway, my original home is not here. I just come here to live for a while sometimes."

“After living here for a while, I’ll go home for a while.”

Zhang Ruochen did not have the qualifications and strength to live in the long river of time. He practiced the nine eternal ways: space, time, truth, origin, destiny, darkness, nothingness, light, and morality.

Except for "time", he had cultivated the other eight ancient ways to the realm of great success, but he had only cultivated "time" to the realm of minor success.

It should be said that for all the top bosses in the entire universe, the upper limit of their "Way of Time" is the "Minor Success" realm, and most of them are just "skin in the game".

Take the “essence” of the nine eternal ways as an example.

The way of space corresponds to the "realm of space".

The way of truth corresponds to the "realm of truth".

The Origin Dao corresponds to the "Origin Dao Tower".

The Way of Destiny corresponds to the "Gate of Destiny".

The Way of Darkness corresponds to the "Abyss of Darkness".

The way of nothingness corresponds to the "Mirror of Nothingness".

The Way of Light corresponds to the "Disk of Time"

The Way of Morality corresponds to the "heart of all living beings"

The most important "Way of Time" corresponds to the "River of Time".

In the past, all practitioners who wanted to practice the "Way of Time" were inseparable from the "River of Time".

Later, after a "Guardian" appeared in the long river of time, the situation changed.

At the beginning, the long river of time had only one stone, and all the top powers shared three bowls, and the remaining seven bowls were ownerless.

Later, a "Guardian" appeared in the long river of time and became an "anomaly". No one knew where this "Guardian" came from, as if he appeared out of thin air.

Therefore, now there is only one stone in the long river of time. Now there is a bold guess that "Senior Su" is very likely to occupy three buckets alone. The world is divided into three buckets, and the four buckets under him are ownerless.

In other words, the knowledge of time mastered by Senior Su alone is equivalent to that mastered by all the cultivators in the heavens and myriad worlds combined!

This is why, no matter whether it is Li Qiye or Zhang Ruochen, when they come to the long river of time and meet the legendary Senior Su, they have to respectfully call him "Senior".

No one knows Senior Su’s true cultivation level, and no one knows his true identity.

In fact, Zhang Ruochen was also very curious.

Who are stronger, “those three” or Senior Su?

Because in the previous two confrontations, "those three" were at a disadvantage, and the two "time disasters" they caused were resolved by Senior Su.

Although Zhang Ruochen is very strong, he has also reached an extremely high level.

But, in the highest "chess game", he still cannot take the stage and can only watch quietly.

In terms of status and strength, only Senior Su can be the opponent on the chessboard. Zhang Ruochen is still a chess piece, but he is different from other chess pieces. He can jump out of the chessboard and not be manipulated, but he can't affect the game either. He can only watch silently.

About the nine eternal ways: space, time, truth, origin, destiny, darkness, nothingness, light, and morality.

From ancient times to the present, two theories have emerged.

Most schools of thought believe that no matter how powerful or special the Way of Time is, it is still within the category of the Nine Eternal Ways and is at the same level as the other eight Eternal Ways.

But later, a new school of thought was born, and very few people believed that there was no such thing as the "Nine Ancient Ways".

There is only - "One great supreme way, eight eternal ways".

The law of time is supreme, above all laws, and unique.

Why does this disagreement arise?

That's because, except for the Way of Time, the other eight ancient ways have been cultivated to perfection by some people.

The only thing missing is the Way of Time, let alone cultivating it to perfection. For example, the only cultivator who can live in the long river of time from ancient times to the present is Senior Su!

Therefore, there are two differences.

Because the "Long River of Time" runs through all the heavens and worlds, it has existed since the birth of the world. It has always been ownerless, and no one would set their sights on the Long River of Time.

In fact, Zhang Ruochen agrees with the second school of thought.

Because the truth is in the hands of a few people, only the small group of people with the highest level of cultivation will realize the horror and importance of the "long river of time."

He also felt that the way of time was unique and that the long river of time was the supreme transcendent thing.

In the past, the long river of time was ownerless. No one would fight for it, nor would they think of fighting for it, nor did they think it was possible to fight for it!

Later, a "river keeper" actually appeared in the long river of time!

It is because of the appearance of "this river keeper" that the balance of the universe is broken. It turns out that the long river of time can really be "contested"? ?

This is also why "those three" would constantly launch "time floods" to test Senior Su, just to test him to what extent he has mastered the long river of time.

In fact, Zhang Ruochen was also very curious, how much did Senior Su know?

Or, just ask directly? ?

Will it bring bad luck or violate a taboo?

"Daoyou Zhang?"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Su Mu saw Zhang Ruochen staring at him in a daze.

"Friend Su, I have a question, but I'm afraid it may be impolite to ask," Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath and asked tentatively.
