520: Candle Dragon Seal

“This should be the highest-grade treasure chest, right?” Zhang Xiaoli’s eyes gleamed as she looked at the magnificent treasure chest before her.

“Yes, this is the highest-grade treasure chest,” Qin Shilei nodded in response.

“An Qian, it’s up to you now!” Zhang Xiaoli suppressed the urge to open the treasure chest.

“You all wait.”

An Qian turned and entered the bathroom, bathed and changed, then came out and offered incense and prayed for a while.

Only then did she solemnly reach her hand towards the colorful treasure chest.

Immediately, a golden light mixed with two orange lights emanated from the treasure chest.

Nether Chain (Orange): A necklace condensed from the Nether Lord’s innate talent, capable of granting 80% immunity to physical and elemental attacks.

Ghost’s Wail (Orange): Once activated, it emits a wail that damages the target’s soul.

The two orange items were mediocre and held no appeal for Qin Shilei at this moment.

He reached out and took the golden item, the only golden item to date.

This was a palm-sized seal.

Candle Dragon Seal (Gold): Legend has it that the Candle Dragon forged this divine artifact from precious materials using its own Great Dao of Time. The Candle Dragon Seal can make time flow forwards or backwards, and can also achieve Time Pause.

Seeing these attributes, all five of them, including Qin Shilei, gasped.

“Qin Dage, quickly try out how heaven-defying this divine artifact, the Candle Dragon Seal, truly is,” Zhang Xiaoli urged.

“Alright.”

Qin Shilei channeled his vital energy into the Candle Dragon Seal, and immediately an invisible ripple emanated from it.

Time Pause!

Everything around them seemed to have been put on pause, entering a state of stillness.

Qin Shilei reached out and pressed Zhang Xiaoli’s pretty face, but she showed no reaction at all.

He once again spread his spiritual power outwards and discovered that the range of the Candle Dragon Seal’s influence was a hundred kilometers in radius, centered on him.

Eight… nine… ten.

Exactly ten seconds passed before everything around them returned to normal.

“Qin Dage, hurry up and try it,” Zhang Xiaoli urged again.

“I just tested one of its functions,” Qin Shilei said, recounting everything that had just happened.

Upon hearing this, the four women all curiously took the Candle Dragon Seal and tested it out.

They ultimately found that even they could use the Candle Dragon Seal to freeze time for about two seconds.

During these two seconds of Time Pause, even a powerful individual like Qin Shilei was completely unaware.

“I wonder how many seconds the Candle Dragon Seal can freeze time when used against the Thousand-Eyed Spider King? Can I use this to kill him?”

Qin Shilei said, feeling a little eager to try.

“Shi Lei, you’re getting carried away.”

An Qian quickly stopped her husband’s thought, “The Thousand-Eyed Spider King is known as an Immortal King. Even if you can freeze him, you probably can’t kill him. You still shouldn’t take that risk.”

“Wife, you’re right.”

Qin Shilei once again channeled vital energy into the Candle Dragon Seal.

Immediately, his mind was drawn into the Great River of Time.

Following the Great River of Time forward, he saw his wives, after opening the treasure chest, once again cultivate in seclusion within the Blessed Land.

Continuing along the long river of time, countless scenes flashed through his mind.

Qin Shilei had a realization: if his power was great enough, he could use the Candle Dragon Seal to instantly enter a certain time and space within this long river of time.

He saw his three wives each give birth, having two sons and one daughter.

He also saw himself reappear in the Abyss World, wantonly slaughtering all kinds of demons.

In the long river of time, as Qin Shilei led the people of Qin An King’s Mansion to encircle and kill a demon in a Demon City, a thousand-zhang-tall Thousand-Eyed Spider suddenly appeared above the Demon City.

With a single strike, it instantly killed thousands of people from Qin An King’s Mansion.

Qin Shilei was also blasted hundreds of meters into the ground by this strike from the Thousand-Eyed Spider King.

Just as Qin Shilei was about to carefully observe the difference between himself and the Thousand-Eyed Spider King, the scene in the long river of time suddenly became blurry.

“Because this matter is too closely related to the host, continued viewing may harm the host’s main body.”

The Candle Dragon Seal suddenly conveyed this message to Qin Shilei.

“Can he still harm me through the long river of time?” Qin Shilei asked.

However, the Candle Dragon Seal did not respond to Qin Shilei’s query.

Helpless, Qin Shilei had no choice but to withdraw from the long river of time.

“How was it?” Seeing Qin Shilei open his eyes, Zhang Xiaoli impatiently asked.

“It’s hard to describe exactly. You all try it too,” Qin Shilei handed over the Candle Dragon Seal.

In his mind, he pondered the things he had seen in the long river of time.

Perhaps it was because he had caused too much trouble in the Abyss World, leading the Thousand-Eyed Spider King to specifically set a trap and ambush him in a Demon City.

Not only did Qin An King’s Mansion suffer heavy losses, but he himself also fell into a life-and-death crisis.

“Now that I know about this, if I deliberately avoid that area, can I avoid the Thousand-Eyed Spider King’s ambush?”

Qin Shilei murmured softly.

“Husband, what ambush?” Zhang Xiaoli, who had just emerged from the long river of time, asked.

Qin Shilei recounted everything he had seen in the long river of time, and then reiterated his conjecture.

“Then use the Candle Dragon Seal to go in and see again,” Zhang Xiaoli suggested.

“Alright.”

Qin Shilei took the Candle Dragon Seal and entered the long river of time again.

Soon, he arrived at the time node six months later when the Thousand-Eyed Spider King appeared.

However, the Qin Shilei in the long river of time was in another Demon City, millions of kilometers away from the Demon City where the Thousand-Eyed Spider King had appeared last time.

Even after Qin Shilei destroyed that Demon City, the Thousand-Eyed Spider King did not appear.

The Qin Shilei in the long river of time continued to hit and run.

Another half a year passed like this, and the Thousand-Eyed Spider King appeared again to block Qin Shilei and his companions.

“Fate is not immutable. Once the host makes a certain change due to the Candle Dragon Seal, it will also change the future trajectory of time and space.”

The Candle Dragon Seal once again sent a message to Qin Shilei.

Through some exploration, Qin Shilei and the others finally gained a general understanding of the Candle Dragon Seal.

Time Pause could be used to kill enemies or to escape opportunistically.

Time Flow Reversal could be used to peek into the future and thereby avoid certain dangers.

Qin Shilei could use the Candle Dragon Seal to view events in the long river of time with a span of half a year.

An Qian and the others, being weaker, could only view events in the long river of time with a span of three days.

This Candle Dragon Seal truly lived up to its reputation as a heaven-defying divine artifact.

Then let’s make it even more heaven-defying!

[Do you want to refresh the entries?]

[Refresh.]

Time Doubled (Orange): Can double the time span of the long river of time, and also temporarily doubles time.

A Thousand Years in an Instant (Gold): Through the Candle Dragon Seal, it can make the target’s body functions return to infancy, or make the target’s body functions enter old age. The time span depends on the difference in strength between the two parties.

Summon Candle Dragon (Gold): Can summon a Candle Dragon that completely obeys the host, existing for three days, with a cooldown of one hundred years.

Nice!
