Chapter 177

Death God Rose wasn't optimistic about Gu Chen's chances, so she reminded him of the existence of the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace had a vast amount of ancient texts, covering almost everything. No matter what type of cultivator they were, they would be able to find a suitable cultivation technique or secret manual among them.

After Gu Chen listened attentively, Death God Rose took out a token.

"Alright, let's head to the Flowing Time Dojo now. Everyone else, follow and observe."

She tossed the token into the air, and a blinding light spread across the entire Sky Palace.

Swish!

After a moment of dizziness, Gu Chen was surprised to find that he was no longer in the main hall from before, but had instead appeared on top of a dojo surrounded by clouds and mist.

Instant teleportation, and a large group of people at that!

Dang — —

From afar, a heavenly sound could be heard, cleansing one's heart.

The Prospective Dao Children were very familiar with this. They quickly found a cushion on the dojo and sat down.

"The Stone of Time is up ahead."

Death God Rose was standing next to Gu Chen. As he looked in the direction she was pointing, his eyes narrowed.

A strangely-shaped, colorful stone stood alone on this dojo. It was riddled with holes, some resembling blade marks, some resembling arrow holes, and some resembling natural erosion.

So old!

It was clearly just a stone, not a living being, but as soon as Gu Chen saw this Stone of Time, he felt that it was absurd.

It was as if it had experienced the vicissitudes of life and the chaos of the universe. Everything in the world had decayed, but it still existed.

"The Stone of Time has a mysterious power. As long as you touch it, it won't directly teach you any Dao techniques or supernatural powers. Instead, it will use a strange method to display its' Dao 'in front of you."

"But it itself has the power of time. The moment you touch it, you will feel your lifespan rapidly fading away. Normally, within a few breaths, your life force will be burned away."

"So, before your life completely fades away, you must let go. That way, the power of time will dissipate and you will return to your original state."

Death God Rose looked at the Stone of Time with a look of reverence.

"Only a few breaths of time to comprehend it?"

Gu Chen was stunned. There were only a few breaths of time. How much could he comprehend?

"It's not necessarily a few breaths. It varies from person to person. Currently, the person with the highest record is Cui Zheng, who fought with you earlier. He lasted for an entire incense stick's time."

Gu Chen couldn't help but turn his head to look at Cui Zheng. He didn't expect the Dragon-Elephant Physique to be so powerful.

When Cui Zheng heard Killer God Rosette mention this matter, he did not feel happy at all. Instead, his expression darkened.

"Do you think that the longer you persevere, the better?"

Killing God Rosette asked with a smile.

"Is it not?" Gu Chen was confused.

"Theoretically speaking, the longer one perseveres in front of the Time Stone, the more things one can comprehend. Cui Zheng's Dracophant Physique is indeed very good, but being able to persist for so long is his biggest regret. "

"The Light Stone is a wondrous stone that is connected to a vast and mysterious world. Those with outstanding talent have a chance to reach that realm and be sucked into that world."

"Anyone who is able to enter those mysterious worlds will definitely obtain astonishing fortunes."

"The Dracophant Physique is a top-notch physique. Cui Zheng had the chance to reach that realm, but he was still a little short. That's why he persevered for so long."

"The longer one perseveres, the more powerful one's physique is. However, those who are really lucky and talented will be sucked away by the Time Stone at most within ten breaths."

"From this point of view, after reaching a high level, the more talented one is, the shorter the time to reach that realm will be."

What Killing God Rosette said made Cui Zheng's expression turn gloomy. That was his biggest regret.

"It's indeed a wondrous stone between heaven and earth. May I ask how many Prospective Daoists have reached that realm so far? "

Gu Chen was eager to give it a try.

"There's a total of nine of them. Three of them are the current three Daoists of the Celestial Court, and the other six are here. They're now immortal-level Kings."

Many of the Prospective Daoists looked at the six of them with complicated and envious eyes.

Apart from the young Xu Huahua, they were all great Nirvana-Level cultivators. However, the gap between Nirvana-Level and immortal-level was unfathomable.

Immortal-level was the King's Realm. It was a realm where one could change their destiny and obtain longevity.

It was difficult for ordinary cultivators to reach that realm even after exhausting their entire lives. Even geniuses like them had been stuck at the pinnacle of Nirvana for their entire lives.

With the opportunity given by the Time Stone, the six of them had become Kings in their early twenties. Apart from the three Daoists, they had surpassed the others and become the first echelon of the younger generation.

Gu Chen completely understood the significance of comprehending the Time Stone. He did not dare to be rash and sat down. He decided to adjust his condition to his peak before trying again.

"That's a wise choice. Xu Huahua was impulsive last time and did not prepare well. He missed the opportunity in vain."

The Rose Killer God nodded in admiration. Xu Huahua could not help but stick out his tongue when he heard that. He looked a little annoyed.

Since Gu Chen did not move for a while, the Rose Killer God walked to the edge of the dojo.

On the dojo, many of the Prospective Daoists began to discuss.

"Chen Gu is funny. He has an ordinary physique. He won't gain anything from comprehending the Time Stone. Why is he wasting everyone's time?"

"You can't say that. After all, this opportunity only comes once in a lifetime. You're just jealous of him."

"Hmph, what's there to be jealous of? When I comprehended the Time Stone, I lasted for a full twenty breaths. With Chen Gu's physique, I'm afraid he won't even be able to last three breaths!"

"To put it bluntly, he's just an ordinary person with a little talent. He's far from geniuses like us!"

The Prospective Daoists had different opinions. However, without exception, none of them were optimistic about Gu Chen.

"Qing Lin, you really treat Chen Gu differently. Could it be that the rumors are true? Do you really want to be his Path Protector?"

The Rose Killer God arrived at the edge of the dojo. The Green Qilin Killer God was already standing there, looking at Gu Chen from afar.

"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"

The Green Qilin Killer God blinked.

"Although you seem to be deliberately neglecting Chen Gu and didn't even tell him about something as important as the Time Stone, I know your twisted personality all too well."

"You deliberately didn't bring him to the Ling Xiao Hall because you wanted to test him. You wanted to see how he would fare against the other Prospective Daoists, right? Now that you're here, it's obvious that you have high hopes for him. "

"I say, there are so many ready-made Prospective Daoists. Why are you so interested in a guy with an ordinary physique? Is there anything special about him? "

The Green Qilin Killer God smiled. "You worry too much."

"Hmph, even if you don't say it, I can see it. He's very similar to you when you were young, right?"

The Rose Killer God rolled her eyes at the Green Qilin. Her eyes were filled with charm.
