第四百零一章 内外光阴事【合章】

The practitioners continued their fight, but under the influence of theintoxicating fragrance (a type of hallucinogenic incense), Han Cheng was gradually recovering.

"Stop fighting! Fellow Daoist Lingxu, it's all a misunderstanding!"

"Fellow Daoist Lingxu, I swear by heaven and earth that everything I say is true!"

"The time since your era has indeed passed thousands of years ago. The world has changed greatly; even the so-called Ten Celestial Dao Sects have long disappeared from history!"

Han Cheng shouted one after another.

When he mentioned that the world had changed, Lingxu's body trembled slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Lingxu, Master Liu’s foresight was correct back then! He saved everyone in your sect!" Hearing this, Lingxu's offensive gradually slowed down.

"Little Sister Xiao, Brother Hao, stop fighting too!" Han Cheng hurriedly called out.

Although he was extremely displeased, Xiao Xiao still stopped her attack. However, their daoist realms were still active and they kept a close watch on Lingxu.

"Fellow Daoist Lingxu, every word I say is true," Han Cheng said sincerely.

"Could it be that the Great Dream Springtime Array has made an error due to the passage of time?" He asked, pulling out a smallMedicine King Cauldron (Yao Wang Ding) from his storage ring.

"This ding was excavated from your sect's ruins and allowed us to enter here."

"Fellow Daoist Lingxu, I believe you can discern its authenticity," Han Cheng said openly.

Seeing thevicissitudes of time (sacred) appearance of the slightly flawedMedicine King Cauldron in Han Cheng’s hand, Lingxu’s pupils constricted. He was nearly stunned.

He could tell that the flaws on the ding were remnants from when it was left behind during their migration and couldn’t be faked.

So what exactly had happened? Could it really have been a mistake with the array's chronology?

Lingxu didn't reply but hurried back to his room, reconfirming everything. He was certain that only 24 years had passed since the Great Dream Springtime Array activated and everyone fell asleep.

"Then, are those three outside lying?" Lingxu’s murderous intent began to rise.

Suddenly, he heard Han Cheng say: "Actually, there's a simple way to verify."

"After the great calamity of heaven and earth, daoist techniques cannot be practiced simultaneously. If Fellow Daoist doesn't believe me, try practicing your own technique. The result will show,"

Lingxu’s first thought was that this was absurd. Techniques weren’t like immortal fruits; there should be no prohibition on simultaneous practice.

However, he believed Han Cheng's sincerity and decided to give it a try. He began to practice the True Transmission of Yao Wang Sect, "The Great Dao for Health and Longevity."

In an instant, Lingxu was completely stunned. His qi circulation had completed several cycles but felt like useless effort. Not only did his cultivation not increase, but he heard a voice in his mind.

"Great Dao for Health and Longevity: Integration Technique."

"Current practitioners: 462 people."

"What is this?"

Lingxu’s face turned pale as sweat began to drip from his forehead.

"This can’t be right. This must be an illusion," he couldn't believe it.

He took several pills, swallowed them whole, and began practicing again with a mad determination. After countless cycles of practice over hundreds of days, not only did his cultivation not change, but he felt increasingly agitated.

In his mind, he suddenly sensed the locations of the other 461 practitioners who were also cultivating "The Great Dao for Health and Longevity."

"Kill them! Kill all of them!"

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He quickly realized what was happening and shuddered.

"How could this be? How could this be..."

This encounter had completely exceeded his understanding, but Lingxu knew in his heart that the three outside might be telling the truth.

Their sleep hadn’t been as long as a single seclusion period; yet thousands of years had passed in the Yellow World.

"But... why?"

"Why is it like this?" In fear and confusion, Lingxu fell into endless doubt.

When he heard no response from inside, Han Cheng and Hao Bo entered.

"Fellow Daoist, are our words true?" Han Cheng softly asked.

Lingxu didn't respond.

"Actually, we were also very curious about what happened to Yao Wang Sect back then,"

"Perhaps if Fellow Daoist could recount the events that occurred after Master Liu used the drug king ding as a boat and broke through the Yellow World's barriers, we might be able to understand everything better."

Han Cheng continued to persuade him.

After a long silence, Lingxu said hesitantly: "Actually, I don't know what happened either. It felt like a dream."

"At that time, Master Liu used great divine power to break through the Yellow World's restrictions and steered the drug king ding into the depths of space,"

"Originally, we planned to find other realms of cultivation but..."

Lingxu paused as he recalled the events.

"The ding began emitting alarms after some time. It was said that an unknown force attracted us, causing our direction to lose control."

"We were ordered back to our rooms and prepared to enter the Great Dream Springtime Array for sleep,"

"Afterward, the drug king ding's movements became more intense, affecting even the activation of the Great Dream Springtime Array, which failed to activate successfully,"

"Later..."

Lingxu narrowed his eyes.

"Master transmitted that the plan had failed and we were forced to return to the Yellow World."

"The drug king ding was severely damaged and could no longer be controlled."

"To preserve it, all remaining power was used for protection. We allowed the drug king ding to freely fall into the Yellow World,"

"Afterward, important functions within the ding shut down one by one, and we were forced to enter a deep sleep,"

"I was in the alchemy room when I returned to my room. The ding's movements became more intense."

"During the violent shaking, I lost consciousness."

"When I woke up..."

"I saw you all."

Lingxu slowly recounted his story.

Han Cheng and Hao Bo exchanged glances, puzzled by these strange events. Xiao Xiao asked: "But according to your account, you were just outside the Yellow World for a brief time before being forced back?"

Lingxu nodded.

"Indeed, that's what happened."

"You only fell asleep when you were about to fall into the Yellow World?" Xiao Xiao continued.

"Yes," Lingxu confirmed.

"What are you talking about!" Xiao Xiao’s voice suddenly grew louder.

"In our view, the drug king ding had already left the Yellow World for thousands of years. Just recently, it returned here."

"At that time, all cultivators could see the fireball from the drug king ding falling from the sky,"

"Right, that should be 24 years ago."

After saying this, Xiao Xiao fell silent in shock.
