Instant Eternity
Lin Yu and the others were completely unaware of what had happened after they left.
From the outside, the River of Enlightenment looked like a river, but if one really stepped foot into it, one would notice that it was actually a completely independent world.
In this world, there were the sun, moon, and stars. There were also mountains and rivers. There were also towering ancient trees and weeds. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that the sun was not the sun, the moon was not the moon, and the mountains and rivers were naturally not real mountains and rivers.
The sun was actually the fusion of the Dao of Stars, Dao of Flowing Light, Dao of Flames, and a few other Daos. The moon was formed with the Dao of Yin and Yang as its core and fused with a few other Daos.
Everything else was the same. In this world, all existences were manifestations of the rules of the Dao.
"So that's how it is!"
In next to no time, Lin Yu and the others noticed some clues, and they instantly revealed expressions of pleasant surprise.
The Lotus Emperor was right. The world within the River of Enlightenment was indeed much more powerful than the Ji Clan's Valley of Dao Steles. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that it was like the difference between the heavens and the earth.
Cultivating in a place like this for a day was equivalent to cultivating in the outside world for half a month, or even more. Moreover, regardless of what fortuitous encounters there were within the tomb, merely the River of Enlightenment made their trip here worth it.
"What a good place!"
Surprisingly, the first to move was Ao Jing. He gazed at a tall mountain before him, and then he leaped up and instantly arrived at the peak of the mountain. He sat down cross-legged, and his aura had completely fused with the mountain as he breathed.
With one person moving, there would be a second, a third … Subsequently, Hao Bai, Gu Sha, and the others moved to find a suitable place for them to cultivate.
"Hmm? That's … "
At the same time, Lin Yu's gaze descended onto a small river in the distance.
The river wasn't large, and it was only a few hundred meters long and less than a meter deep. One could easily see the bottom, and it emitted a clear and melodious tinkling sound as it flowed slowly.
As he gazed at the slowly flowing river, Lin Yu seemed to have seen the river of time, and he saw numerous strange scenes flowing within the river. When he looked again, everything had vanished completely, and it was as if what he saw before was merely an illusion.
"Dao of Time!"
A look of shock appeared on Lin Yu's face. This small river was shockingly the manifestation of the Dao of Time!
Peak Daos like the Dao of Time were completely illusory and could only be encountered but not sought. Even the Dao Mark Stone Tablets were unable to inscribe such a peak Dao, but the Dao Comprehension River was actually able to materialize it. This method was truly inconceivable!
"Let's go!"
With a thought, Lin Yu's figure flashed, and he began to fly towards the direction of the small river. Beside him, Jiang Lanyue immediately followed.
Although Jiang Lanyue was already a beginner in the Dao of Time, she certainly wouldn't miss an opportunity to comprehend the Dao of Time at such a close distance.
"These two bastards!"
Seeing Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue's tacit actions, not far away, Xuan Heng Dao's expression became gloomy once again, and his eyes revealed a look of jealousy and hatred.
However, he didn't follow them in the end. Although the Dao of Time was powerful, it wasn't suitable for everyone. He couldn't give up the opportunity to improve his strength just because of Lin Yu and Jiang Lanyue.
Soon, everyone found a suitable place for themselves and entered a deep state of cultivation.
"The past is like the past!"
Looking at the slowly flowing river in front of him, these words suddenly appeared in Lin Yu's heart. Time was like flowing water, gone forever.
The river of time. Time was always discussed together with rivers. There were too many similarities between the two. Time and flowing water seemed completely different, but there were many similarities.
Standing on the riverbank, Lin Yu suddenly felt an impulse. He took a step forward and directly stepped into the river.
From the outside, the river was less than a meter deep. However, when he stepped into it, he found that it was completely different. After a few steps, Lin Yu was completely submerged in the river. However, the river didn't seem to have any signs of reaching the bottom.
What was even more strange was that although he was completely submerged in the river, Lin Yu still felt that he was standing on flat ground. Even his breathing wasn't affected in the slightest.
Being in the small river, he could feel the flow of the river water. The rhythm of the flow gradually merged perfectly with his heartbeat. Strange scenes constantly appeared in front of him.
He saw that his skin had become dry, his hair had turned white, his eyes had turned turbid, and his flame of life had almost been extinguished. He also saw that he seemed to have returned to his childhood. He even saw that he had returned to his mother's womb.
He saw flowers bloom and wither, the tides rise and fall. He saw the sea turn into mulberry fields, the sea dry up, and the mountains fall like withered leaves in the wind. In the end, all of this disappeared.
All of the scenes disappeared. In front of him, there was only the river.
"Eternal Instant!"
Suddenly, his body moved. The Taixuan Sword in his hand gently swung out. The river's flow suddenly stopped. Time froze at that moment, as if it was eternal.
Whoosh!
In just a tenth of a breath's time, the river started flowing again. However, on Lin Yu's face, there was an extremely happy smile.
He had finally comprehended the Way of Time!
This Eternal Instant was a move that he created after comprehending the Way of Time. Once this move was used, it could freeze time for a tenth of a breath's time!
A tenth of a breath's time seemed very short. However, for warriors of their level, a breath's time was enough for them to exchange dozens or even hundreds of blows. A tenth of a breath's time was enough for warriors of the same level to completely change the outcome of a battle!
Moreover, he had just created this move. Next, he still had a lot of time to perfect and improve this move. When that time came, the time that he could freeze time would definitely be longer.
In terms of pure power, this move wasn't considered very powerful. However, the significance of this move was something that none of the other moves could compare to!
"I didn't expect this enlightenment to take seven days."
Putting away his long sword, Lin Yu looked around.
Other than himself, including Jiang Lanyue, everyone else was in a deep state of cultivation. Not a single person had seen that sword strike from him just now.
This made him nod his head. Even if this move was discovered, he didn't care. However, it was better to have one more trump card than nothing.
