He slowly withdrew from his state of enlightenment, his brows slightly furrowed.
At this moment, he fully understood why the Kunlun maggot had advised against using the Law of Time as one's natal law, because the Law of Time was truly too difficult to obtain.
He believed his understanding of time had surpassed that of a demigod, or even a true god. Countless deaths and rewinds, coupled with his manipulation of time, were experiences that even a true god had never possessed.
He could be said to be the person closest to time, but even so, even with the help of a rare treasure like the Enlightenment Stone, and after ten years of hard work, he still only comprehended 50,000 traces of time, and had no clue about the rest.
However, Fang Xiu had no intention of giving up. The difficulty of this path proved its power. Now that he had comprehended 50,000 Daos, he would first condense 50,000 Daos.
Soon, he began to condense the Time Mark, and with his understanding of time, he successfully condensed the first Time Mark!
The feeling was like a drop of water from the river of time falling on you and merging into your body.
Fang Xiu didn't know what other people's Dao traces looked like, but his Time Trace was formless and boundless. It couldn't be seen with either the naked eye or the mind. Only he could clearly perceive it; it was there, always there.
After obtaining the first Time Mark, he felt a special change in himself. This change was unrelated to his strength and did not improve his strength in any way, but it was a real change.
It's as if one's own body is more sensitive to time, so sensitive that it's practically a walking clock.
At this point, he no longer needed watches or similar items, because he could clearly perceive the passage of every minute and second. If he wished, he could even perceive the passage of time hundreds of times smaller than a second.
Now, he can know the exact date and time without looking at a watch or his phone calendar; in fact, he's more accurate than a watch.
This ability may sound useless, but it really is useless.
Its only purpose is probably to let Fang Xiu know that he has successfully condensed the first Time Mark, nothing more.
This is only the first step in a long journey; it takes 129,600 traces of time to form a single law of time.
After condensing the first Time Rift, Fang Xiu found that the power in his body was almost exhausted. Although this Time Rift was useless, it unexpectedly consumed power.
So he took out a magic pill from his storage ring and put it in his mouth.
It is worth mentioning that, due to the narrowness of the ice coffin, Fang Xiu's action of raising his hand to put the elixir into his mouth inevitably brushed against some of Jiang Mengyue's private parts, causing her to grit her teeth and blush slightly. However, she dared not speak out, fearing that she might anger Fang Xiu and cause him to do something even more outrageous.
Actually, you can't blame Fang Xiu for this; the blame lies with Jiang Mengyue, who is just too big.
With his strength restored, Fang Xiu pressed on and continued to condense the Time Mark. After a long time, the second Time Mark was completed. He took out another immortal pill and swallowed it, inevitably brushing against Jiang Mengyue once again.
As time went by, he condensed more and more Time Marks. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and Jiang Mengyue finally couldn't stand being teased anymore.
"Enough! Are you doing this on purpose?! In these three days, you've already consumed one hundred and one pills. When are you going to stop?!"
Jiang Mengyue really couldn't stand it. Fang Xiu's actions made it impossible for her to focus on recovering her strength. Li Xinghe was just all talk, and after hearing it so many times, she became immune to it. But Fang Xiu took direct action, touching her every now and then.
She, the Moon Venerable, a demigod-level powerhouse, when had she ever been treated so lightly by a man?
That strange yet shameful feeling made her blush uncontrollably, her heart race, and her body tremble, making it impossible for her to concentrate on her cultivation.
However, Fang Xiu's answer was...
Snap!
"I haven't even blamed you for slowing down my pill-taking speed, and you're blaming me first? You deserve a beating."
Fang Xiu was telling the truth. After all, having something blocking your hand will indeed affect how quickly you can bring the pill to your mouth.
Jiang Mengyue was so angry she was about to explode. If it weren't for the fact that the ice coffin was melting more and more, she would never have been willing to endure this humiliation, especially since the other party had clearly taken advantage of her but then blamed her attitude, which made her furious.
Does it affect how quickly you consume the pills? Am I not as appealing as the pills themselves?
Xu Ruohai, who was standing to the side, also noticed something was wrong. Such frequent consumption of pills was clearly a way of condensing laws. Thinking of this, he panicked. If a True God broke through to Immortal Lord, his chances of winning would only be 98%.
No, this can't go on any longer; we must melt the ice coffin as soon as possible!
He disregarded the depletion of his power and went all out, determined not to let the True God break through.
One month later.
The ice coffin was melted until only a thin layer remained.
The three demigods were filled with ecstatic joy. They had already anticipated that today would be the day they would break free from their seal!
However, at this moment, Fang Xiu silently took out a magic pill and swallowed it, then activated the power of time.
A moment later, to the astonishment of the three demigods, the ice coffin, which was on the verge of melting, was restored to its state as it had been a month earlier.
At this point, the light in the eyes of the three demigods was completely extinguished.
Xu Ruohai remained silent, Li Xinghe was furious, and Jiang Mengyue was filled with shame and indignation.
Xu Ruohai remained silent because he had wasted so much power; Li Xinghe was furious because escape seemed a long way off; and Jiang Mengyue was ashamed and indignant because Fang Xiu had taken pills again.
Actually, she was already used to taking pills. That's how it is; you get used to it after a while. But what she really found hard to accept was that, whether it was her imagination or not, she always felt that the clothes in front of her were getting thinner and thinner, as if they were about to be worn through.
"Bastard! Damn bastard!" Li Xinghe cursed angrily for a full incense stick's time before stopping.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, go deep into the Moon God Ruins and see if you can find a way to break this ice coffin. The ice coffin is a manifestation of a divine restriction. As long as you find the key divine restriction and destroy it, the ice coffin will lose its source of power and will surely be broken in one fell swoop!"
Xu Ruohai nodded silently, then dragged his weary body away. At this point, there was no other way.
Fang Xiu ignored the others and continued to consume pills and condense the Time Marks. In the past month, he had already condensed more than 10,000 Time Marks. In a few more months, he would be able to condense all 50,000 Time Marks he had comprehended into his body.
The condensation of the Time Mark cannot be achieved by rewinding through death, because the Time Mark is engraved on the body, while the perception remains in the consciousness.
However, this also saves a lot of time, because insight is often the most time-consuming, while condensation is very simple. As long as there is a sufficient energy supply, condensation can be carried out continuously.
With the gluttonous appetite of Fang Xiu, the treasures of the entire Void Moon Palace, and the gifts from various sects, he had no shortage of energy.
