Chapter 406 The River of Time is Also a River
"After I attain the Great Luo Dao, I will definitely pay a personal visit to return the magic treasure to you, senior." Li Muyang bowed deeply with utmost sincerity and gratitude.
The favor of removing the interference from the Great Dao of Time and Space for Li Muyang is immense! He can now clearly feel that the fatigue he had accumulated in the River of Time and Space due to his previous reckless actions has completely disappeared!
It's like being influenced by the Great Dao of Time and Space, with a maximum threshold, a critical value. Li Muyang had already accumulated this value high in his previous life within the Great Dao of Time and Space! Although he reduced some of the value by being reincarnated and forgetting his past life memories, he still retained a lot.
Therefore, even though the time Li Muyang spent in the River of Time was not long compared to his lifespan, he felt physically and mentally exhausted. This was because the threshold he had accumulated was already very high, so the impact was significant!
If this problem cannot be resolved, then Li Muyang probably won't be able to continue his in-depth research on the Great Dao of Time and Space in this lifetime.
Logically speaking, without external forces, such influence would require Li Muyang to reincarnate multiple times and constantly cleanse his soul in order to completely eliminate it. Of course, that's no longer necessary now.
It's almost impossible to lower the threshold through rest. Physical and mental fatigue can be recovered, but the signs of fatigue caused by the "Dao" are hard to erase! If this continues, Li Muyang will inevitably become depressed and listless, just like when he came back last time and slept for a month straight.
At the time, Li Yunfei, unaware of Li Muyang's past life, mistakenly believed that he was only affected by the passage of time. In his mind, his son had the talent to cultivate the Great Dao of Time and Space, and a few hundred years of enlightenment at once would not have any irreversible side effects. Little did he know... Li Muyang had accumulated a high threshold for the Great Dao of Time and Space in his past life!
Empiricism is a killer!
If it weren't for the intervention of the Daoist of Destiny, Li Muyang would probably be finished! He hadn't been cultivating the Great Dao of Time and Space for long before he was assimilated by it.
Faced with Li Muyang's gratitude, the Taoist of Destiny waved his hand with a smile: "It's nothing! This chess piece is a consumable item anyway, you don't need to return it to me, it's yours!"
Fuxi, standing to the side, offered a reminder: "To be honest, you can also use this thing to beat people up. If you unleash it, most beings can't withstand it. I certainly can't."
Feng Xuanxing chimed in, "There's no need to worry about them getting damaged. Even the power below the Hunyuan level can't destroy the chess pieces."
Li Muyang's eyes lit up. This was another trump card! And a truly lethal one at that!
The Fate Master smiled mysteriously. The function and power of this chess piece are far more than this! However, Li Muyang will have to explore its potential himself in the future!
After all, this set of magic treasures was one of his earliest possessions. Although it was not an innate magic treasure, it was the magic treasure that best suited his Dao. It was an innate treasure of the Primordial Destiny Dao, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard!
Originally, because its power was too great, it should have been taken away by the Heavenly Dao. However, the Destiny Daoist of this world made a deal with Pangu when he created the world, and exchanged it for his treasure. It has been nurtured to this day, and it is no longer just a primordial treasure, but even a chaotic level magic weapon.
After all three had spoken, the boss, Wang Lin, didn't pretend to be oblivious and reminded them:
However... don't assume that this chess piece is invincible just because the Holy Emperor said he couldn't handle it. In reality... although the chess piece itself is very powerful, how much power it can unleash still depends on Li Muyang's own ability. If someone at the Great Luo realm uses the chess piece, even an ordinary saint wouldn't dare to directly withstand its power!
But now... severely injuring a Star God is not a problem.
Note that it is a Star God, not an Immortal Golden Immortal. This means that it can only seriously injure ordinary Golden Immortals who exist in dependence on the world. As for Golden Immortals who can exist outside the world, Li Muyang can only hurt them.
This is still the case where the person is just standing there stupidly taking the beating.
This made Li Muyang very satisfied!
Not only did it erase the influence left by the Great Dao of Time and Space from my previous life, but it also gave me a powerful trump card. It was worth it!
Of course, for Li Muyang, the most important thing was probably meeting this old friend who had already achieved the Hunyuan realm!
Although things have changed and people are no longer the same, Li Muyang still holds great significance for the Daoist of Destiny, for he is an old friend! He even suspects that Li Muyang's transmigration is related to the Great Dao!
Since I now have the ability to help, I'll do it as a favor, it's good to be able to help others! Having another fellow Daoist is also a very good thing!
At least, the Fate Master believes that Li Muyang has this opportunity!
"Since we're already here, let's give it a try." The Destiny Taoist said, crossing his legs... A two-sided turtle, crossing his legs like that... To be honest, Li Muyang could still hold back, but Xuan Yue almost burst out laughing... Her face was distorted from trying to suppress it.
Ahem, let's get back to the main topic! Business comes first!
The "trial run" that the Daoist of Destiny mentioned was just letting Li Muyang go to the River of Time to get a feel for things... Ugh! Everyone understands what he meant! He also helped resolve any remaining issues.
Li Muyang naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony; this was a rare opportunity! With a powerful figure protecting him, why didn't he seize the opportunity and bring up the problem sooner? So he activated his Great Luo Dao Fruit, venturing into the River of Time to experience something new.
With Li Muyang gone, the four big shots turned their attention to Xuan Yue.
Xuan Yue tensed up immediately. Originally, with Li Muyang around, the big boss's attention was all on him, but now... suddenly there was no one to share the pressure, and he felt so nervous!
"Don't be nervous. Now that you've joined the Administration, you're one of us," Fuxi said with a faint smile.
Feng Xuanxing said leisurely, "That's right. Besides, your father, the ancient king Gu Xilan... is actually the alternate account of this old tortoise."
The Taoist of Destiny widened his beady eyes: "Who are you calling an old tortoise? Don't you know how to respect your elders? You have no manners! I'm your father's master! His own flesh and blood!"
Feng Xuanxing replied perfunctorily without any emotion, "Oh right! Ancestor, you've worked hard! May you live a long and prosperous life! May you live as long as the heavens!"
The Taoist of Destiny was furious: "You brat! How dare you curse me!"
Xuan Yue remained silent for a moment, then, taking advantage of the argument between her master and grandson, she quietly asked Wang Lin, who was watching the commotion, "Aren't these all positive terms? How did they become a curse?"
Wang Lin shrugged: "Please, our lifespan is no longer an issue! What do you mean by 'living forever' or 'living as long as the heavens'? Can the heavens outlive us? Besides, that old tortoise has witnessed countless world ends. Isn't this just cursing him?"
After realizing what he meant, Xuan Yue was speechless, but she also somewhat agreed with the Taoist of Destiny's words; for them, it was indeed a curse.
They're incredibly resilient!
Xuan Yue glanced at Wang Lin, who was watching the spectacle with great interest, and thought to herself, "No wonder they all love watching a good show. They've lived too long, what haven't they seen? There's less and less entertainment they can find!"
Perhaps for these cultivators, the greatest joy is to seek enlightenment? No wonder some have been assimilated by the Great Dao, leaving only this obsession in their lives, their self-awareness has probably faded. For a moment, Xuan Yue didn't know whether being able to live like this was a good thing or not.
"Your thinking is the same as an ordinary person not knowing how good and luxurious the emperor's life is," Wang Lin casually remarked. Xuan Yue's thoughts certainly couldn't be kept from people of their level; they could sense them with just a little effort.
"You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?" Feng Xuanxing also teased, "We don't need your concern. We've lived for so many years. If we're tired of living, we can die too. Instead of wasting your time, you should think about how you're going to handle the relationship between Morian and Cang Yue when Li Muyang returns with Morian's soul!"
Xuan Yue broke out in a cold sweat. Well, she was really worrying about things that weren't her business!
"Senior! Let's learn from each other!" Xuan Yue hurriedly grabbed Feng Xuanxing's arm and called out.
Feng Xuanxing's lips twitched, as if he had thought of something. For some reason, he felt like he had stabbed himself in the heart!
Wang Lin, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The Destiny Daoist and Fuxi didn't pay much attention to the three's conversation. One was more concerned about Li Muyang at the moment, while the other believed that this was a matter between his son and his friend, a matter between young people of the same age, and he shouldn't get involved.
At this moment, Li Muyang also returned from the River of Time. As soon as he returned, he saw Feng Xuanxing, Wang Lin, and Xuan Yue grinning mischievously. He asked curiously, "What were you talking about? Tell me about it."
"Go away!" Feng Xuanxing waved his hand to shoo away Li Muyang, who was crowding around. "We're talking about Xuan Yue, it's none of your business! Don't ask questions! Don't you know there's a way to die called knowing too much?"
Xuan Yue also wanted to chase Li Muyang away, because there were some things he dared not let Li Muyang tell Cang Yue or Mo Lian's ears! But when he turned his head, he saw Li Muyang carrying a fishing rod on his back, with a glass ball-like thing hanging from the hook of the fishing rod, emitting an unidentified substance that looked like a ghostly blue flame.
Xuan Yue: Meow meow meow? What is this thing?
Li Muyang cast the fishing hook in front of him: "Of course it's your wife's soul! What else could it be? Did I just randomly conjure a ball out of the river of time?"
Xuan Yue pointed at the soul hanging on the fishhook, speechless for a moment. "No... you didn't tell me that you used this method to retrieve souls from the river of time!"
"Fishing in the River of Time? Interesting! I'll take my little sister to try it next time!" Fuxi, who was standing to the side, smiled slightly and found another fun thing to do!
Feng Xuanxing and Wang Lin also silently took notes, +1
At most, they'd fished in the chaos and caught a few chaotic creatures. Fishing in the river of time and space—that was truly a first for them! Interesting! Worth noting!
The Taoist of Destiny leisurely drank his milk, completely unconcerned.
Only Xuan Yue, whose worldview was completely shattered, remained silent for a long time.
This must be the ultimate fishing master, right?
Li Muyang then looked at the Daoist of Destiny and asked with curiosity, "I've been wanting to ask this for a while now, where did you get this milk from!?"
The Taoist of Destiny glanced calmly at Li Muyang, then curled his lip at Fuxi.
Seeing Li Muyang's increasingly strange expression, Fuxi's lips twitched: "This milk was collected by my subordinates from some sheep! It wasn't produced by me! If you dare to think any more nonsense, I'll deduct your branch's benefits!"
