853: Chapter 842 Shi Yao

Some Mental Energy Prodigies can even increase their Mental Energy while sleeping—just like being able to learn in their dreams, and making progress while resting;

Some Mental Energy Prodigies can rapidly increase their Mental Energy by comprehending the Mortal World and wandering through the world—just like gaining inspiration during a journey, or obtaining wisdom from life.

And Qin Yan was very likely this kind of peerless Prodigy!

In short, Mental Energy cultivation is incredibly wondrous and cannot be measured by common sense.

Just then, streaks of flowing light, like meteors cutting through the night sky, converged in the Void Realm.

One by one, the Holy Land Elders of the Holy Land's Wanfa Palace arrived in the Void Realm, their figures manifesting with an ancient and solemn aura.

Xuan Yuanzi, as well as Elder Zhou Xuantong, who had previously led Qin Yan's group to the Wanfa Palace, had all arrived.

Their faces carried a hint of anticipation and a touch of solemnity.

The Sea of Time held a massive attraction even for old fellows like them.

"Everyone is here. Let's depart."

In the Void Realm, a Holy Land Elder waved his large hand, and thousands of golden lights showered down, enveloping the figures of Qin Yan and the other Holy Land Disciples!

The golden light flowed over their bodies like a thin protective barrier, wrapping them inside.

Immediately after, the Void Realm in front of everyone shattered, black cracks spreading like a spiderweb as a massive rift opened in the Void Realm.

The bodies of the numerous Elders plunged into the Void Realm one after another, like water droplets merging into the ocean, silently and without a trace.

...

Above the Sea of Time.

Space tore open, and the figures of the Elders from the Taixuan Holy Land and other groups appeared above the sea.

The golden light on Qin Yan and the others had also dissipated by now, revealing their original appearances.

Their gazes all turned toward the space below.

The vast and boundless silver sea below lay across the Void Realm, the entire body of water presenting a dreamlike, pure silver luster.

The surface of the sea shimmered, and with every surging wave, wisps of silver time force rose from the surface, turning into speckles of silver light that dissipated into the air.

Under the erosion of this dense, almost tangible time force, the surrounding Void Realm trembled and distorted continuously, as if even space itself could not withstand the vast, majestic power that had accumulated in this sea over countless epochs.

"It is said that the overall area of this Sea of Time is several times that of Taixuan Star. This Sea of Time is truly a majestic power of heaven and earth."

Qin Yan lamented, his eyes filled with wonder and awe.

A sea as vast as several continents, an ocean as boundless as several worlds—this scale exceeded his scope of cognition;

such an existence made him feel the greatness of heaven and earth, and his own insignificance.

"Brother Qin Yan, this might not be the power of heaven and earth. There is another theory regarding the Sea of Time."

Senior Disciple Wen Ya looked at the Sea of Time below, his eyes also filled with wonder.

"What theory?" Qin Yan asked, turning his gaze toward Senior Disciple Wen Ya, his eyes full of curiosity.

"It is said that this Sea of Time was formed from the evolution of the immense time force left behind after the fall of the Time Empress," Senior Disciple Wen Ya said slowly.

"Hiss—!" Qin Yan gasped upon hearing this.

The Time Empress, a legendary existence repeatedly mentioned in the ancient texts of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds, was one of the supreme Dominators of the Time Epoch. It was said that she had already cultivated the Dao of Time to a supreme Realm unprecedented and unmatched, and could reverse the River of Time with a mere wave of her hand.

"Brother Wen Ya, this is somewhat unlikely, isn't it?" Qin Yan found it hard to believe.

Could a single person's death form such a massive spectacle, and have it persist for multiple epochs without dissipating?

Senior Disciple Wen Ya's theory exceeded his scope of understanding.

This possibility brought him a sense of profound shock.

"I also read about this in ancient texts. Furthermore, Brother Qin Yan, you should know that in these Heavens and Myriad Worlds, there is also a Sea of Space that can rival the Sea of Time."

Senior Disciple Wen Ya continued, his voice carrying a hint of emotion.

"And that Sea of Space is clearly recorded in many ancient texts—it was formed through the self-evolution of the vast space force controlled by the Lord of Space after his fall. Since the Sea of Space could be formed from the fall of the Lord of Space, then it is not entirely impossible for this Sea of Time, which has also spanned through eternity, to have been transformed from the Time Empress."

Hearing this, Qin Yan was startled, as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

This piece of information from Senior Disciple Wen Ya was too shocking to him.

If it was truly as Senior Disciple Wen Ya said, then it was indeed not impossible for this Sea of Time to have evolved from the Time Empress!

Just like a fallen god turning into an ocean.

"Buzz—!"

Just then, two silver lights lit up in front of Qin Yan and Senior Disciple Wen Ya.

Immediately after, two silver tokens appeared and fell into their hands.

The tokens were entirely silver-white, as if condensed from moonlight, with fine patterns flowing on the surface, emitting a soft and profound glow.

The tokens felt slightly cool to the touch, like holding a piece of moonlight.

"These are Time Tokens. Only with these tokens can you enter the Sea of Time and avoid being eroded by time."

In the Void Realm, a divine envoy dressed in white robes and wearing a moon-white veil appeared.

Her figure seemed to step out of the moonlight, carrying a mysterious and noble aura.

In her hands, silver light flickered as Time Tokens flew out one by one like silver butterflies, dancing in the Void Realm and landing precisely in the hands of every Martial Artist.

"Make sure to protect your Time Tokens well. Once a token is lost, the immense time force of the Sea of Time will erode you—this erosive power cannot be completely negated even by True King experts."

Divine Envoy Shi Yao said indifferently, her voice calm and cool, like an icy spring flowing through the mountains.

"Lastly, leaving the Sea of Time also depends entirely on the Time Tokens."

Upon hearing the divine envoy's words, Qin Yan tightly gripped his Time Token!

He knew the importance of the Time Token—it was not only their pass to enter the Sea of Time, but also their protective talisman and the guarantee for their ultimate safe return!

Just like a bright lantern, it could not only illuminate the path ahead but also guide them back.

This time, they were to stay in the Sea of Time until September 30th, making it a ten-day journey.

And once the time expired, the Time Tokens would guide them out of the Sea of Time.

Therefore, the Time Tokens were extremely important.

Even the surrounding Taixuan Holy Land Elders gripped their Time Tokens tightly, as if holding onto their very lives.

In the air, after Envoy Divine Envoy Shi Yao finished distributing the last Time Token, her clear, water-like eyes casually glanced in Qin Yan's direction before she vanished silently into the Void Realm, just as she had arrived.

There was no helping it; this youth was simply too much of a Prodigy—she was precisely the divine envoy who had secretly taken action to record Qin Yan's information during the battle between the Yuntai Academy and the four major forces some time ago.
