”Why can't I sense him?” The grey-robed figure anxiously muttered. The Yaoguai continued to frolic about, unaware of the grey-robed figure or the existence of the old captain's ship. There would be the occasional booms in the background as it recklessly destroyed here and there.
Wherever it traveled, death and destruction followed. The crew watching this couldn't help but admit that Yaoguai were true to their laws. Despite that, they were preparing the ship's capturing formations. These formations were explicitly designed for Yaoguai.
”He's...definitely not dead,” The grey-robed figure muttered. Its eyes beneath the hood started to glow with a brilliant light of grey. Its eyes and the light seemed to contain a pure essence of time, capable of seeing through all time itself.
”He's in the Yaoguai?” As those words were said, the old man's eyes turned bright. The words spoken may have been soft, but with his cultivation base, he could hear the quietest of sounds accurately and clearly for an inconceivable distance.
”Halt,” the old man ordered. The crew immediately ceased their actions as if they were machines. One could easily see their experience in their response times. Even their actions were quite interesting, as they simply froze and halted all operations.
The grey-robed figure didn't mind the old man. Instead, it reached out with its left hand. This hand was incredibly pure and white, soft and dazzling, naturally belonging to a female. A surge of time energy seemed to flow out of the palm like a sonic wave. This energy was invisible but all that it touched was affected.
”Stop.”
The air molecules, the moisture, light waves, and even life itself seemed to freeze in time.
The wave of energy hit the Yaoguai faster than it could react. It transformed into a statue. In truth, it hadn't been modified in any way, but the movement of time around it had been affected, forced to cease. It entered the Yaoguai in a state of stasis.
The old man's eyebrows twitched. Celestials possessed celestial energy, from their own celestial laws, and do things absolutely impossible for heavenly cultivators. For example, this time energy wasn't connected to any law of the heavens, but it was a law formed by the celestial itself.
If heavenly cultivators harness the heavens essence to cultivate and gleam into its inner workings, then celestials create their own heavenly essence which they can harness and develop in ways unimaginable. It was this ability to defy the restriction of the heavens that made Celestials fearsome beyond belief!
The only way for heavenly cultivators to devise their own laws, their own paths, was to rival the heavens! However, their laws couldn't naturally be a part of the heavens and its growth was much like Yan Zaizen's dao heart, requiring power and direction.
As for Celestials, they start their path with an essence of the multiverse and give birth to countless variations!
Therefore, the old man had no intent to offend a celestial and waited patiently. He wasn't in a hurry, and he was curious about Yan Zaizen's fate, so he silently stayed.
The grey-robed woman didn't mind the old man as she took a step forward. It was as if her body was time. She vanished and appeared before the Yaoguai like a shadow. ”You're…” The eyes behind the hood narrowed. This Yaoguai was odd…
She could feel like, every so often, her celestial energy of time was being consumed bit by bit. However, it wasn't enough to affect the stasis state it was in. Touching the Yaoguai, the confusion beneath the hood intensified.
She couldn't feel anything or anyone outside of the Yaoguai's aura! She used a few more unique celestial arts, but nothing was revealed.
While she was trying to gleam into Yan Zaizen's location, he was frozen in the Yaoguai's body! No, that would be incorrect. At his glabella, the black hole still silently absorbed the heavenly essence of the Yaoguai like a parasite.
His physical body, however, had entered a stasis state. As for his soul, it was affected for a blink before he regained his ability to think and use his soul energy. However, he was shocked to discover that his body had been completely sealed!
