297: Chapter 297 The Time Worm, the Invincible Species

It really has rotted.

The longsword fell.

The snow-white blade continuously turned black, and decaying spots kept appearing on the hilt.

Before long, the resilient blade was covered in rust.

Bang!

The longsword finally could not withstand it and snapped completely.

All of this happened in just a single breath!

Looking at the bit-by-bit decaying blade, Qin Tian finally understood why this place was called Rotten Sword Valley...

"What kind of power is down there?" Qin Tian asked curiously.

Wu Qianying shook her head.

"I don't know exactly what it is, only that this power is ineffective against Longevity Beings and those eternal, indestructible Longevity Immortal Artifacts."

"We have been down there before, but we never found the source of this power."

"However, due to the existence of this power, mysterious Ancient Dao Patterns have gradually been etched into the valley. Using them to temper the body and Divine Soul is of great benefit to the future path of longevity!"

Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.

"A power that has no effect on Longevity Beings?"

He really wanted to go down and take a look!

Although he wanted to, Qin Tian would not be reckless.

The corners of Wu Qianying's lips curled up. "It seems I didn't guess wrong; you really are very interested in this power."

Qin Tian spoke in surprise, "How did Senior Wu know?"

Thump!

Qin Tian's forehead was gently flicked.

"You are my grand martial uncle, how can you call me Senior?"

"Just call me Qianying...!"

Tong Gu: ...

"Why do I feel like we're redundant here?"

Li Yu smiled without saying a word.

Qin Tian coughed twice. "Uh, Senior Qianying, please lead the way."

"Pfft!" Tong Gu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Xiao Wu, it seems your charm isn't working?"

"Shut up!"

Wu Qianying glared at Tong Gu.

Li Yu stepped forward. "Qin Tian, I'll take you over."

As the words fell, the two disappeared.

Wu Qianying: ...

"I ask you, am I not good-looking?"

"How can he be so indifferent?"

Tong Gu couldn't help but smile.

"Xiao Wu, it seems you really don't know."

"The one in secluded cultivation is not just Qin Tian's Revered Master, but also his Dao Companion!"

"Tell me, can he be moved?"

"Hahaha!"

Tong Gu laughed loudly three times and departed toward the sky.

Wu Qianying was a bit flustered. "A Revered Master-disciple romance?"

"Damn, someone beat me to it!"

"No way, what have I been staying pure for all this time?"

"Wasn't it to find a handsome man to fall in love with at first sight!"

"Now that I've finally met one, how can I let him go?"

"This kid, I took a liking to him at first sight!"

"Who cares if he has a Dao Companion? I'll find a chance to snatch him first, take him, and talk later!"

At this moment, where was the gentle and virtuous Wu Qianying from before? She looked exactly like a domineering female mountain bandit!

"It's settled then!"

*Slurp*—

...

Inside Rotten Sword Valley.

Qin Tian walked slowly behind Li Yu.

Longevity Qi protected him, excluding that special power.

"Xiao Wu's greatest wish in this life is to find an unparalleled handsome Dao Companion, so you should be careful."

"Uh... Huh?"

The sudden words made Qin Tian freeze.

"Don't look at her being beautiful, gentle, and dignified; when it comes to snatching things, she has many methods and is never hesitant."

"Be careful of being taken by force..."

Qin Tian: ???

No.

What is all this?

"I've only met Senior Qianying for the first time, it shouldn't be like that, right...?"

Li Yu shook his head.

"Love at first sight, she believes in that..."

"Also, you are too handsome and your talent is too good; she probably fell for you at the first glance..."

Qin Tian: ...

"Why do I feel a chill down my spine..."

Li Yu smiled: "Xiao Wu has a pitiful background. Her parents died when she was young, and she grew up in a mountain bandit's den, so she's tainted with some banditry. But her Dao Heart is firm, and her character is decisive..."

"Leaving age aside, you two are actually quite a match..."

Qin Tian opened his mouth.

"Senior Li, now is not the time to talk about this, is it?"

"Haha, true."

"We have arrived!"

Li Yu waved his hand, and the thick mist ahead dissipated.

Qin Tian looked closely.

On the pitted rock wall ahead, mysterious Ancient Dao Patterns were engraved!

At the same time.

The Five Elements Seven Emotions Seed inside him trembled.

The Time Dao Fruit bloomed with a wisp of brilliant radiance!

"So that's how it is..."

No wonder it has no effect on Longevity Beings...

No wonder the longsword decayed in a single breath...

This special power, the source of these Dao patterns,

is Time!

There is a supreme treasure related to the Time Dao hidden here!

Qin Tian suddenly realized.

This treasure isn't strong and cannot shake Longevity Beings.

But it can hide within time, making it difficult for Longevity Beings to discover.

If Qin Tian hadn't crossed the River of Time and sensed the Time Dao, he wouldn't have discovered it either...

Li Yu was somewhat curious.

"It seems you have a different discovery?"

Qin Tian nodded.

"These Dao patterns are related to the path of time. I have a way to drag out the thing behind them!"

Li Yu was incredibly surprised, but did not say much.

"Good."

The next moment.

Longevity Qi transformed into a sea abyss, completely enveloping the surroundings.

"Within this sea abyss, no one can affect you."

Hearing this, Qin Tian took a deep breath and activated the Time Dao Fruit.

The next moment.

Golden lines never seen before actually emerged on those Ancient Dao Patterns.

Li Yu could no longer hide his astonishment.

Tong Gu and Wu Qianying arrived, and seeing this scene, they were instantly stunned.

"What happened?"

"Qin Tian... is he resonating with these Ancient Dao Patterns?"

Li Yu nodded.

"Do not disturb him."

Wu Qianying's eyes gazed at Qin Tian's handsome face, and the corners of her lips slowly curled into a determined arc.

"As expected of the man I took a liking to!"

"I can't wait!"

"I'll make my move as soon as we go back!"

Qin Tian was completely unaware of this.

The seven emotions seed continuously echoed with the Dao patterns. His consciousness was no longer in its original place, but had arrived at a mysterious space.

Golden ripples surged like waves spreading in all directions, eventually turning into bits of starlight.

Looking closely.

At the very center of the ripples was a golden nest condensed from time ripples. Lying on the nest was the shadow of a thumb-sized creature.

It was an insect never seen before.

Qin Tian was somewhat surprised.

"System, what is this?"

[Ding! This is the 'Time Insect', one of the Invincible Dao Seeds formed by the evolution of the Time Dao.]

"dao seed?"

While he was wondering.

On the ripple nest, the sleeping Time Insect seemed to sense something, and its wings began to tremble.

Its slender antennae twitched slightly, and time within the mysterious space suddenly froze.

Qin Tian was greatly shocked.

This is... Time Stop!

In an instant, he could feel that even his consciousness was about to stop.

Fortunately.

The seven emotions seed vibrated.

[Words of Time]!

The Time Dao Fruit transformed into an invisible power and merged into Qin Tian's body.

Only then did he break free from the Time Insect's Time Stop control.

Just as Qin Tian was about to step forward, he heard a youthful voice ring out in his mind.

"Who are you?"

"Why can you control time...?"

...

...

The plot has been sorted out, resuming double daily updates.

In the North Miao Immortal Domain, there's still a trip to Lanshui Holy Land and Lingmeng Mountain. After that, it's off to the Holy Spirit Immortal Realm, where Qin Tian will obtain the complete Holy Spirit Legacy, forge a perfect longevity immortal foundation, and also 'take care' of Second Junior Sister, Long Suo...

After the Holy Spirit Immortal Realm arc is the climax of the Ancient Realm of Longevity chapter. The truth about Ling Su, the Chaos of the Eternal Foreign Realm, the secrets of the Chaos Spirit Treasures, and the schemes of the Heavenly Dao Ethereal Palace will all be revealed... Of course, the most important thing is 'taking care' of Ling Su and Yao Xi...

That's the general plan. If you want other heroines to be 'taken care of', it can be arranged and interspersed at any time =.=
