Five months later.
Fang Xiu finally succeeded in condensing 50,000 Time Marks, and as a result, he gained a new ability related to time—accelerating his own time!
This ability is a more subtle application of time acceleration. Accelerating one's own time is forcibly changing one's own time state. If the time state of everyone in the world is at one speed, then by accelerating one's own time, one can switch to a state at two speeds.
In other words, it's the same time, but while others experience one minute, Fang Xiu experiences two. Assuming he can live for ten thousand years, but keeps his ability active, his lifespan will be exhausted after five thousand years.
This ability might sound useless, as it seems to offer no benefits other than forcibly reducing lifespan. However, this is not the case, because while time is accelerated, his own speed is also significantly improved!
One second for others is equivalent to two seconds for him. If he could throw 100 punches in one second before, he can throw 200 punches in one second now because two seconds of his own time have passed. Similarly, cultivation is the same. Although it is the same to cultivate for one year, Fang Xiu is equivalent to cultivating for two years.
While the previous time acceleration could also be achieved, the two are fundamentally different; the ability to accelerate one's own time can be activated instantly!
The previous time acceleration involved selecting a region and then slowly enveloping it with the power of time to change the flow of time. Once outside the region, the time acceleration effect would disappear.
However, the current method of accelerating one's own time involves attaching the power of time to oneself, without any regional restrictions. No matter where one is, one can enjoy the benefits of double speed.
Strictly speaking, accelerating one's own time is not a new ability; it is simply a more refined application of time acceleration, allowing the power of time to be fixed on oneself. Currently, it can only be fixed on oneself, and the speed is only twice the normal speed, which is already the limit that 50,000 Time Marks can achieve.
"Time accelerated, double speed!"
Fang Xiu activated his new ability. At the moment the ability was activated, he did not feel anything special, but the world in his eyes changed and slowed down.
Inside the palace, the battered Xu Ruohai was chatting with Li Xinghe. Before, they spoke at a normal pace, but as their abilities were activated, in Fang Xiu's eyes, their speaking speed suddenly decreased, as if each word was being uttered one by one.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, did you gain anything from this trip?" Li Xinghe asked slowly.
Xu Ruohai shook his head: "The Moon God Ruins are becoming increasingly dangerous. The damage done to the Moon God Ruins before was too severe, which damaged the divine restriction that sealed the divine and demonic energy. A large amount of divine and demonic energy has surged out, which has formed a chain reaction. In the past five months, the evil energy outside has become more and more serious every day. There are resurrected armies of gods and demons everywhere. My progress in the investigation is also getting slower and slower."
After a brief conversation, both of them fell silent.
After resting for a while, Xu Ruohai stood up and said, "I've rested enough. I'll go investigate again and hopefully find a way to break the ice coffin this time."
After saying that, he turned and left.
What was clearly a normal walking speed appeared to Fang Xiu like an astronaut strolling on the moon, each step taking an extremely slow pace.
After he left, Fang Xiu resumed his cultivation. Due to the double speed, his cultivation speed was twice as fast as before.
However, no matter how fast he went, it was useless, because he had already hit a bottleneck. All the Time Marks he could comprehend had been condensed, and what remained was something he could not comprehend no matter what, even if he used the Enlightenment Stone to comprehend the Word of the Universe.
The character "宙" (Zhou) contains the Dao of Time, but the Dao of Time is too obscure and difficult to understand. It is like a thick English book, while Fang Xiu is just a child who knows the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. No matter how high your comprehension is, without a reference point, you simply cannot understand the meaning of a word composed of many letters.
He needs to experience more time and witness more firsthand; only in this way can he gradually verify and understand more.
The problem is that time is elusive, and even Fang Xiu doesn't know how to observe it.
If this problem is not solved, he will never be able to break through to the early stage of the seventh rank, which is the realm of Immortal Lord.
Fang Xiu frowned, racking his brains for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good solution.
then.......
"Kunlun maggots".
"This old servant is here."
"Help me comprehend the remaining traces of time."
Kunlun Maggot: "......."
It was already cursing in its mind: "You son of a bitch, I told you not to condense the laws of time, not to condense them! You just wouldn't listen, and now that there's a problem, you remember me! Damn it!"
Do you really think I'm an encyclopedia?!
"My lord, in my humble opinion, the reason you are stuck in a bottleneck is that your understanding of time is not deep enough. All the traces of time that you have so far come from your own time. But time is so vast. It is definitely not enough for you to only understand your own time. You also need to understand the time of others."
How to understand other people's time?
"My lord, the others I am referring to do not necessarily refer to people. They could also be other creatures or things. Time is formless and intangible. Even gods cannot see what time looks like. Yet time is everywhere. All things in the world are affected by time. Therefore, to understand time is to understand the changes in heaven and earth and all things."
For example, the cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death, the rising and setting of the sun, the ebb and flow of the tides, and the blooming and withering of flowers—all these changes contain the wonder of time.
