741: Chapter 192: The First Time-Based Divine Skill (Two in One)_4 741: Chapter 192: The First Time-Based Divine Skill (Two in One)_4 The other two appendices that were previously inscrutable, upon a glance, left one feeling dizzy, utterly unbearable.
But after coming out of Feng Zhong, one of the two formerly unreadable appendices was now legible.
Su He’s gaze fell upon it.
In his mind, a loud boom resonated, and a pattern unfolded.
A seed germinated, sprouted branches, and grew into a towering tree, unfurled leaves, blossomed, and bore fruit before withering away…
In an instant, it experienced three cycles of flourishing and decaying as if passing through three spring and autumn periods, and just as the fourth cycle arrived, the tree was gone!
Instead, there was a mountain, enduring the growth of spring and the decay of autumn, the abundance of summer, and the silence of winter, year after year, in the blink of an eye, until the seas dried and the stones crumbled.
It was time that was slipping away, yet oddly, moments later, it seemed to reverse, as the once reduced to dust mountain peak reformed in reverse.
The tree shrank little by little, returning to a seed.
Su He was dumbstruck, even the toad beside him was astounded.
The images demonstrated by these symbols were all too familiar to Su He!
This was the Flowing Light River!
It was the Flowing Light River that Su He had taken to return from ancient times!
This symbol contained various experiences related to the Time Law!
White Spirit had mastered time!
This thought suddenly surfaced in his mind, only to be calmly dismissed soon after.
Wasn’t it only natural for White Spirit to wield the power of time?
Baiyin could pull him from the present back to ancient times, having already mastered time.
And with Baiyin’s reincarnation not severing her memory, she was simply in a new skin!
Su He and the toad exchanged glances.
After looking at the symbol, Su He felt something different beneath him from the Heritage Dragon Turtle.
He leapt up and peered at the Dragon Turtle, only to see two rounds of silver-white suns slowly emerging in its left eye.
No, not emerging.
These two great suns had always been there; it was just that the former Su He could not see them!
Only now was he seeing them for the first time.
He had a feeling that the second symbol’s primary function was not to impart experiences of time but rather to check if he was qualified to make contact with time.
His body’s first encounter with the power of time in Feng Zhong allowed him to see the symbol without getting dizzy.
The journey to ancient times broke free from the time constraints of this world and made true contact with the power of time.
The symbol revealed its true external appearance to him.
Having passed the test, Su He could then receive the inheritance of experience from the symbol, and only then could he see the silver suns in the eyes of the Heritage Dragon Turtle.
The star in the left eye of the Heritage Dragon Turtle signified Divine Skills, while the right denoted Magic skills.
The silver suns were in the left eye.
Su He’s consciousness tentatively reached out.
One of the great suns merely revealed its name before bouncing Su He’s consciousness away, a sign that he was not yet at a level to inherit it.
The other, however, allowed for inheritance.
Old Dream!
Astonishing Swan!
The Old Dream that repelled Su He’s consciousness was unattainable, but the Astonishing Swan could be inherited.
It was quite curious.
Normally, even with Divine Skills that one couldn’t inherit yet, one would still receive detailed information, but these two Divine Skills revealed nothing but their names.
It was understandable for Old Dream to be out of reach, but even the inheritable Astonishing Swan revealed only its name.
This instantly piqued the Turtle’s curiosity.
Su He fell silent for a long while.
With Opening Two-fold Heaven, he had intended to be the first to inherit “Taiyuan,” a restraining Divine Skill, which could even be considered a kind of imprisoning Divine Skill.
It wasn’t like Chaotic Edge or Mountain Divine God Seal, which vanished once unleashed.
Taiyuan was a perpetual Divine Skill; once used, it would exist forever.
It could even serve as a prison, confining enemies for eternity.
It was rumored that the Red Ancestor’s Taiyuan had imprisoned an emperor from the Sealed Emperor’s Palace, though it was uncertain whether this was true.
Su He had had little contact with the Red Ancestor and never teased him like the four uncles who suffered at the hands of the playful Red Ancestor – Su He wisely never approached voluntarily.
Su He looked at the Bright Moon of Taiyuan and then at Annihilation Sky and Hidden Edge beside it, which were also available for inheritance at Opening Two-fold Heaven.
Annihilation Sky could gather a Formation flag; within the span covered by the flag, one could restrain any one of the three aspects: Magic skill, Divine Skill, or Flesh Body, affecting friends and foes alike with its prohibitive reach.
Hidden Edge suited Su He even better, falling under Damage Absorption Counterattack, and in conjunction with External Appearance, it was practically invincible.
There were many other Divine Skills, and Su He was unsure which to choose.
The toad squatted beside him, spat out disdainfully: “It’s not like there’s a limit on the number, just inherit one first, then move on to another.
It took thirty years from Opening Heaven One-fold to Two-fold.
Who knows how many years it will take from Opening Heaven Two-fold to Three-fold, it could be hundreds or even thousands.
Take your time!”
Moreover, depending on one’s physical constitution, it might be possible to inherit two or three Divine Skills at once.
That made sense!
Su He’s eyes brightened, and he exchanged a glance with the toad before both leaped into action.
Su He bit into the Magic skill in the left eye, choosing an inconsequential “Fire Tree.”
The toad reached for the “Astonishing Swan” great sun.
With one pull, it was thrown out of the Heritage Palace along with Su He.
A die tumbled down, landing on the toad’s head.
Five!
The Tao Palace would only allow for one Magic skill or Divine Skill to be inherited at a time, and whichever Su He chose was his rightful pick, but the toad’s choice was an audacious snatch.
The Magic skill transformed into a Secret Book within Su He’s mind to be cultivated by himself.
However, the Divine Skill great sun merged into Su He’s body to gradually awaken the Divine Skill.
With Astonishing Swan entering his body, Su He suddenly froze, as if his system had crashed, motionless.
Even his Consciousness Body fell silent.
It was unknown how much time had passed before he finally stirred.
The toad glanced at Su He, who shook his head: “I’m stuffed, can’t inherit temporarily!”
One Astonishing Swan was already Su He’s limit; he couldn’t manage to inherit two Divine Skills at once.
Su He withdrew his consciousness from the Intention Orifice and slowly opened his eyes.
Baiyin had apparently captured two crickets and placed them in a Stone Cage, amusing herself with the Foxtail Grass as she provoked the crickets to fight.
