Chapter 410: Secret Art of Time

Nanchao State is a very small state.

Although she has a long history.

But from before the Hongmeng era until today, this long period of time has washed away many things.

Perhaps Nanchao was once powerful.

But now, she is very weak.

Especially since Lugui killed and injured many members of the Nanchao royal family. If Cheng Tang had not sent people to stabilize the order in time, Nanchao would not have survived this disaster.

Although the human race has become powerful so far, this power is not absolute.

Fierce beasts and natural disasters are still a major obstacle to the survival of the human race. Perhaps a divine beast passing by here, the changes in the celestial phenomena it brings, can destroy a country! Without a strong man guarding it, a country is very likely to be lost in the tide of history.

There was only one city in the State of Nanchao, and its name was Linchao.

To the west of Linchao is Yunmeng Lake, and to the north is Linchao Lake, which is also a vast body of water.

And the human nest is just to the south of Linchao City.

When entering the city, Lai Zhu pointed to a small hill in the south and told Jiang Shan that there was a human nest.

A very inconspicuous hill.

“Isn’t there a strong sense of contrast?”

Lai Zhu said: "How can a small hill be called a human nest?"

Jiang Shan nodded: "The contrast is very strong. I think the human nest should be a grand, magnificent and great place."

Laiju smiled: "The Human Nest is of course a grand, magnificent, and great place."

"What you saw was not the real human nest. That small hill was just the entrance to the human nest."

It is said that "Youchao's ancestor was a congenital human being, with a tall and majestic body, standing tall and upright; the human nest he built was certainly not a small hut located on a hill."

He said: "The human nest is built on the Chinese toon tree. The Chinese toon tree is a rare tree in the world. Although it is not as good as the Jianmu and Fusang trees, it is also very magical."

"The tree is vast, and one cycle is thirty-two thousand years, or eight thousand years for one season."

"It supports a world that belongs to itself, and that is where the human nest is."

"You'll know the details once you enter the human nest."

Chun Wood Jiang Shan couldn't help but wonder, "In ancient times, there was a great Chun tree, which had a spring of 8,000 years and an autumn of 8,000 years. Could it be this Chun wood?"

Lai Zhu smiled and said, "That should be it."

At this time, Dafeng turned into a snow-white bird and stood on Jiang Shan's shoulder; the tiger dragon was wrapped around his wrist, like a tiger-head-shaped wristband.

Next to them are Zhongyu and Wuqian; behind them is Zhongyu’s great uncle, the old man.

The group entered Linchao City without making a fuss. Led by Lai Zhu, they went straight to the Nanchao Palace.

When we arrived at the palace, we could vaguely see some ruins that had not been repaired yet.

Then a waiter came forward and Lai Zhu said, "Take a few guests to rest."

Then he said to Jiang Shan: "Cheng Tang is not here, I will go find him now."

Jiang Shan said, "Please do as you wish."

After saying goodbye to Lai Zhu, the group followed the waiter to a side hall and settled down.

The waiter said, "If you have any instructions, just call me."

Then he went out.

Jiang Shan then said to Zhong Yu, "During this last journey, you didn't say a word. I don't know whether you are Lugui or Zhong Yu, but I want to tell you that I, Jiang Shan, sent you here, not to let you die."

He said, "If I send you here to die, this deal is really not fair."

Zhong Yu listened, smiled faintly, and said: "At this point, the transaction is over."

Jiang Shan said: "First tell me what the method is."

He motioned Zhongyu to sit down, and then he sat down as well, saying, "Although I am not very capable now, I am still able to do something."

"Hu Jiao and Da Feng told me that you are Lu Gui's backup. You are most likely the incarnation of a strand of Lu Gui's true spirit."

"You came to Nanchao, just to return to Lugui. But as long as you don't want to, no matter whether I can do it or not, I will work hard for it - let Zhongyu be Zhongyu, and Lugui be Lugui."

Zhong Yu smiled and shook his head slightly: "I have already felt my end."

The old man next to him groaned, "Once he arrived at Nanchao, he was already in Lugui's sight. It's too late for him to leave now."

Wu Qian also said: "Unless you are a soul wizard who has surpassed the ninth realm, you can't do anything."

But obviously, Jiang Shan is still a spiritual wizard now.

Lai Zhu hasn't come since they parted, and no one knows where he went to find Cheng Tang.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It is expected that Cheng Tang has a lot of things to do and may not have the time to meet Jiang Shan immediately.

After that, they had some food and rest.

Jiang Shan sat cross-legged in a quiet room and spent twenty skill points to advance the two time secret arts, [Eye of the Candle Dragon] and [The Art of Flashing Time], to the entry level.

These two secret techniques were obtained from Yunying's knowledge base.

Before, it was inconvenient to use skill points because I was under Yunying's nose; only now, I have some space of my own - Dafeng and Hujiao went out to visit the Nanchao Palace.

If these two were still around, Jiang Shan would not use his skill points.

[Eye of the Candle Dragon (1/9) The Secret Art of the Flash of Time (1/9)]

[Skill Points: 4289]

Both magical powers are the secret arts of time, but they have different focuses.

The Eyes of the Candle Dragon are more comprehensive, profound and extensive; the Eyes of the Sudden Time Secret Art are narrow and sharp.

The Eye of Zhulong originated from Zhulong - according to the outline of this secret art, it is a secret art analyzed by the ancient human sages from the origin of Zhulong.

Zhulong is the dragon of time. Opening his eyes is day, closing his eyes is night. Controlling time is as instinctive as eating and drinking.

If the secret art of the Candle Dragon's Eye is cultivated to the ninth level, the realm of time will be equivalent to that of the three Candle Dragons.

Even though it was only 30%, it was already very impressive. To know how powerful Zhulong was, just look at who killed it—Fuxi! Was it necessary for Fuxi to kill such an ordinary being himself?

Whether it is the Eye of Candle Dragon or the Secret Art of Sudden Time, their descriptions of time are very straightforward, that is - the process of the birth, development, and extinction of all things.

It's not linear, it's tree-like.

The development of all things is from simple to complex, from one to ten thousand. Just like a seed, it takes root, sprouts, grows a trunk, grows branches and leaves, blooms flowers, and bears fruits.

As for the tree of time, theoretically, its growth has no end and its crown can be infinitely large.

As long as the universe does not perish.

By using the Eye of Candle Dragon, Jiang Shan could vaguely see a huge "tree" that was so huge that it had no end in sight. This was time, an extremely complex and huge tree formed by the process of the birth, development, and extinction of all things.

Manipulating time means manipulating the process of the birth, development, and extinction of things, interfering with this process, and even distorting and reversing this process.

As for the secret art of fleeting time, in Jiang Shan's opinion, it is a secret art that purely utilizes time to create lethality.

It is similar to targeted blasting - deeply interfering with a certain point in the development process of things, and then suddenly interrupting it!
