423: Chapter 423 No, he really figured it out?!

It could be seen that,

the flow of time around Li Fan had actually slowed down slightly!

Currently, this change was extremely subtle; if one didn't observe carefully, it might not even be noticeable.

However, for an existence like Venerable Jiu Lu, this slight change was far too obvious!

And utterly preposterous!

The Great Dao of Time, the Law of Time—these belonged to the supreme Daos, the supreme Laws!

Although people often listed it alongside the Great Dao of Space, the Great Dao of Thought, and others, placing them in the category of the most difficult Laws.

But at his level, his perspective was already different.

In his view, the difficulty of the Law of Time was almost the hardest among all Laws, and it was a gap-level difficulty!

Perhaps there were even harder Dao Laws yet to be discovered, but currently, the Great Dao of the Law of Time was one of the most difficult in his eyes!

Now, seeing a shadow of the Law of Time on a junior at the Universe Level clearly shocked him immensely!

"No, it's not the Law of Time, it just induced it!"

As he continued to observe, he quickly noticed something was wrong.

It wasn't that Li Fan had comprehended the Power of the Law of Time, but rather that Li Fan seemed to be altering the surrounding time flow using some external force.

"Could it be that he actually comprehended the secret technique within?!"

Venerable Jiu Lu's expression changed drastically again, and even his breathing became somewhat uneven.

For a very long time previously,

he had been extremely devoted to the secret technique hidden within the great luo celestial disk.

However, because he received no feedback for a long time, even someone as stubborn as him had started to think the legend of the secret technique was false, or perhaps the activation method was wrong.

He had long since regarded this great luo celestial disk as an ordinary object for honing the movement skills of a promising talent.

And now, Li Fan seemed to have truly grasped it!

Because according to legend, the secret technique concealed within the great luo celestial disk could shift space and traverse the River of Time.

The scene before him was precisely the manifestation of invoking the Great Dao of Time.

It was just that, perhaps because Li Fan's strength was currently weak, he couldn't yet step into the River of Time, only able to invoke the Great Dao of Time, causing the time flow around him to change!

Realizing this point,

Venerable Jiu Lu became even more certain that Li Fan had truly comprehended the secret technique within.

For a moment, the hand holding his wine gourd couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Immediately after,

he hastily formed a hand seal and cast an Earth Confinement spell, concealing the entire chessboard and shielding all auras from this location!

Then, he sat cross-legged nearby, spreading his divine sense to cover the entire chessboard.

That's right.

He was going to personally guard the Dao for Li Fan!

Although this place was the Cosmic Cloud Company Headquarters, where the appearance of evildoers was almost impossible, making the act of guarding the Dao largely unnecessary.

But this matter was too significant; he had to eliminate every possible accident!

As for this,

Li Fan was completely unaware.

Currently, Li Fan was completely immersed in this secret art.

Inside Li Fan's Sea of Consciousness's small universe,

the golden little figure, which resembled Li Fan, had now successfully absorbed one hundred and thirty-seven ancient characters and was currently soaring within the small universe.

It could be seen that this golden little figure moved like a phantom, stepping between the stars, graceful as a startled swan, nimble as a swimming dragon, the entire figure incredibly ethereal.

And it could be clearly observed that within a certain range around the golden little figure, the flow of time had slowed down slightly!

And yes.

This was the effect brought about by the secret technique!

It could invoke the Great Dao of the Law of Time, causing the time flow within the surrounding area to slow down!

Although the effect wasn't too significant—it only slowed the passage of time by about one percent.

But in combat, this was already an incredibly heaven-defying existence!

This one percent change could completely turn an opponent into a target, deciding life or death!

Even someone like Li Fan, who naturally possessed a cheat system, couldn't help but exclaim in shock!

And this was only the current effect of the secret technique.

When his strength increased later on, he couldn't even imagine how incredible this secret technique would become!

Turning back to the golden little figure,

the comprehension progress of this golden little figure actually represented the comprehension progress of Li Fan's original body.

He had now successfully comprehended one hundred and thirty-seven ancient characters.

Forty-three remained until complete comprehension.

Therefore, Li Fan didn't have time to relax yet.

...

In a flash,

half a month had passed again.

"Only the last character is left!"

The golden little figure in the Sea of Consciousness's small universe was currently sitting cross-legged in the void, staring intently at that final ancient character.

Over the past half month, he had already successfully comprehended forty-two ancient characters.

It had to be said that the further one went, the greater the difficulty of comprehension became.

But fortunately, it wasn't too bad.

Li Fan was almost finished comprehending this last ancient character!

Now it could be seen that,

even if the golden little figure remained still, just sitting there, the surrounding time flow could be induced.

Whether to slow down time or speed it up, both could be done with a mere thought from Li Fan, and the effect was also slightly stronger than before.

But the most miraculous thing wasn't this.

It was that in Li Fan's mind, streams of insight regarding the Law of Time had now appeared!

In other words,

if he continued to cultivate this secret technique, he might even have a chance to open up the Great Dao of Time along the way and comprehend a sliver of the Law of Time!

However, of course, this was only a possibility; whether it could ultimately happen was still uncertain.

Soon after,

several more days passed.

That final ancient character had already merged into the body of the golden little figure.

"Comprehended everything!"

As the golden little figure merged into the void of the Sea of Consciousness's small universe,

Li Fan also suddenly opened his eyes.
