854: Chapter 843 Entering the Sea of Time!!
As for Qin Yan's information, it had already been thoroughly investigated by the Temple of Time during this period.
In short, this Qin Yan was an eternal Prodigy!
His potential and combat power at the same level were much stronger than those of their current generation's Saint and Saintess!
He was even comparable to the strongest Saintess born in their Temple of Time in a thousand years—which was her!
How could this not make her look at him in a new light?
After Divine Envoy Shi Yao vanished, Qin Yan looked around.
He saw that above this sea area, there were not only the forces of their Wanfa Palace, but also many other factions.
They were like stars gathering in the night sky, or a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.
Some factions arrived riding giant beasts. The beasts were as massive as mountains, their scales shimmering all over, emitting a terrifying aura.
Some factions radiated bright light, with golden rays like the sun illuminating the entire Void Realm.
Some factions were shrouded in silent darkness, with black mist like an abyss swallowing the surrounding light.
Some factions had giant swords spanning the sky, with massive sword shadows floating in the Void Realm, emitting a sharp Sword Intent.
There were also factions with Buddhist light shining universally and Sanskrit chanting echoing around.
Some factions had Dao charm flowing and Immortal Qi drifting.
...
It was a dazzling sight for Qin Yan.
He had now become a Grandmaster expert, but standing above the Sea of Time at this moment, he felt like a drop in the ocean, tiny and insignificant.
There was no helping it—the minimum requirement to obtain a quota for the Sea of Time was to be a True King-grade faction.
Although the Taixuan Holy Land was powerful, Qin Yan was only a Disciple of the Holy Land. His strength at the Grandmaster Realm was indeed not enough to command respect in front of these experts.
Furthermore, this was only one entrance to the Sea of Time.
There were three other such entrances in the Temple of Time, acting like four gateways leading to the same sea area.
Each entrance gathered a vast number of factions and surged with countless experts.
Time passed slowly, and more factions continued to descend above this sea area.
Some factions rode giant ships, some flew through the air, and some tore through space to arrive.
Every descent was accompanied by powerful aura fluctuations and dazzling, miraculous phenomena.
Once noon arrived, Divine Envoy Divine Envoy Shi Yao stood in the Void Realm, forming hand seals as her fingers flew like she was weaving an invisible tapestry.
Mysterious hand seals surged from her fingertips, intertwining, wrapping, and condensing in the air—in the blink of an eye, a massive Time Roulette condensed in her hands!
The roulette was entirely silver-white, as if condensed from moonlight, with fine patterns flowing on its surface, emitting an ancient and profound aura.
On the edge of the roulette, the symbols of the twelve double-hours were carved;
In the center of the roulette, the pointer turned slowly, as if measuring the passage of time.
"Sea of Time, open!"
Divine Envoy Shi Yao murmured softly.
She cast the Time Roulette in her hand into the Sea of Time.
As the roulette sank into the sea, silver ripples rose across the waters, spreading outward circle by circle.
Immediately after, a massive silver vortex formed in the sea!
The vortex rotated slowly, like a giant eye gradually opening; at its edges, silver light flowed like silver threads weaving through the water.
The center of the vortex was deep and mysterious, like a passage leading to another world.
"Everyone, the Sea of Time has opened. You may enter now." Divine Envoy Shi Yao's voice was calm and clear, reaching the ears of everyone present.
As her voice fell, the factions in the Void Realm turned into streaks of light, surging toward the vortex.
Their speed was astonishingly fast, and they vanished into the vortex in the blink of an eye.
"Children, stay safe," several Elders of the Taixuan Holy Land urged.
They then turned into streaks of light as well, plunging into the vortex.
Their figures, like silver threads, merged into the silver light of the vortex.
Qin Yan and Senior Disciple Wen Ya looked at each other, their eyes holding a mix of anticipation and nervousness.
Then, they also followed the massive crowd and entered the vortex.
Wrapped in silver light, an invisible force pulled their bodies, sinking them deep into the vortex.
...
After a bout of world-spinning dizziness, the view before Qin Yan finally opened up.
At this moment, he was already inside the Sea of Time, his body surrounded by clear, deep silver seawater.
The seawater was not liquid in the ordinary sense, but silver streams of light condensed from the purest power of time.
They rippled slowly around Qin Yan, and every slight fluctuation emitted a terrifying pressure of time.
However, whenever this lethal silver seawater flowed to within a few inches of Qin Yan, it would dissipate on its own as if blocked by an invisible barrier—a faint silver halo lit up around Qin Yan. This halo was not dazzling, but it stood firm as a rock, completely keeping out the pressure of the temporal seawater.
This silver light was radiated by the time token.
It was like a thin layer of armor, protecting him from the erosion of the power of time.
"The flow of time here is ten times that of the outside world—it seems I am in the shallow area of the Sea of Time."
Qin Yan felt the changes in the flow of time around him and quickly made a judgment.
Even the flow of time in the shallow area of the Sea of Time exceeded that of the Core Area of Wanfa Palace!
In the middle area, deep area, and even deeper parts, the flow of time could reach a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or even a hundred thousand times that of the outside world!
Under a flow rate of a hundred thousand times, one day in the outside world would be nearly three hundred years of time in the Sea of Time, as long as an entire epoch.
"Fortunately, the Sea of Time teleports us randomly based on our cultivation. Otherwise, if I were accidentally teleported to the deep area, even if the time token could help me resist the erosion of time on my body, one day outside would be ten thousand days here. If I were in that region and my Realm didn't break through to the True King Realm to gain ten thousand years of Lifespan, I would directly die of old age!"
Qin Yan thought silently to himself.
A faster flow of time was not always better.
Given their current Grandmaster-level cultivation and Lifespan, a time flow rate of several to over a dozen times was just right to enjoy the benefits of accelerated time without exhausting their Lifespan over the long years.
Cultivating under a time flow rate far exceeding one's limit of endurance for a long time could easily lead to a stagnant Realm or regressing cultivation at best.
In severe cases, one's Lifespan might even dry up, leading to death, which was the most silent and desperate way to die.
Qin Yan looked around, and as far as his eyes could see was silver seawater, as if he were in a silver world, boundless and endless.
