Witnessing the blush of red on Yri's face, which contained an immense beauty, Yan Zaizen couldn't help but frown. His mind started to ponder. ”...What is it that you want from me?” Deciding to be direct, he immediately asked.
Yri looked towards Yan Zaizen's handsome face and strong statue, slowly looking him up and down, slowly resting on his lower groins. Her eyes flashed with a trace of light, and Yan Zaizen's eyes widened almost instantly.
He looked down towards his groin, and a thought emerged in his mind. That couldn't be it, no? No way that could be it! How could that help?!
Yan Zaizen's mind flashed through various indecent thoughts, looking towards Yri once more and suddenly, she was a lot more attractive than he originally thought. Her physique had long legs, a slim waist, a bountiful frontend, and a blessed backend. She was most definitely gorgeous and could parade herself as a peak beauty.
If Yan Zaizen had to describe it, then she was a beauty that could bring about the collapse of a nation. However, this beauty wasn't a safe beauty. And...and…
Pinaka...right?
As he thought of that beautiful cyan figure that seemed to be perfection personified, he shook his head. No longer entertaining the idea, he decided to just leave. He may owe Yri for his achievements in cultivating this incredible art, but that didn't mean he was willing to be an adulterer, wronging a woman who was trapped in literal Hell.
Yri noticed Yan Zaizen's shifting of expressions and wandering mind. To her, she couldn't be more than happy if Yan Zaizen was like this, but then he suddenly turned around and readied his heavenly might for propulsion. With haste, she reached out and called, ”Wait!”
However, like earlier, Yan Zaizen directly ignored her and blasted off into a burst of white light.
”Damnit!” Yri roared, biting her lower lip before following along. This time, she didn't attempt to follow at Yan Zaizen's tail, appearing beside him. This caught Yan Zaizen by surprise, he was traveling utilizing the law of light. The law of light could be considered one of the fastest laws in the world, outside of the law of space.
To think that, by relying on the essence of time, she could keep up with his cultivation base. Yan Zaizen wasn't even affected by the Dusk Zone's unique disadvantages due to his comprehension of the Law of Heaven.
They traveled for several hours, but Yan Zaizen had no way to shake her. He was about to use spatial laws, going through the spatial void, but before he could, Yri shot in front of his path and held out both of her palms.
Immediately, Yan Zaizen's eyes flashed with a cold light. His heavenly might abruptly switched from the laws of light into the myriad laws that constituted of a Death Star. Stopping, he held out his palm which contained a condensed, unexpanded Death Star.
Yri saw this and was shocked, she immediately held her hands up in a display of her lack of ill intent. That Death Star caused chills to emerge in her spine and heart.
”Wait! Let me explain!!” She urgently cried.
”Fine, explain.”
Seeing Yan Zaizen's willingness to talk, she couldn't help but feel relieved. However, that Death Star still stayed solidly in his palm. She believed that if she made any move of any intent, Yan Zaizen had no trouble sending her into death.
”The Grand Soul, Dao Heart Art is miraculous, heaven-defying, and revolutionary! However, it is also incredibly restrictive on how to initiate it. You fit every pattern. When I received the details of your report billions of years ago, I was ecstatic at the prospect of cultivating it, but…”
”Stop.” Yan Zaizen immediately interrupted, ”how did you survive for billions of years?” This was a question that Yan Zaizen had an immense curiosity for. Earlier, she mentioned abandoning everything for the sake of cultivating.
Yri didn't seem to find his question unsettling as she directly answered, ”I abandoned my body, sent my soul into a state of temporal stasis, and hoped that I would remain until the time you entered my trial occurred. While my soul was in stasis, there was no degradation because of aging or experiences outside of complete darkness. It was like a few seconds to me, a dream if you will.”
Yan Zaizen couldn't help but be startled by her nonchalant. While it may seem simple, that had far, far too many variables. Firstly, the paradoxical implications one had to fight off. If you make a decision in the past because of a certainty into the future, your entire timeline could be different. Perhaps, her sealing herself up, would prevent various things in the future from happening and thus, the world would inevitably change. The rebound she'd experience, even though she was a celestial, would destroy her very soul.
It was this reason why very few people attempted to see into their own future. Otherwise, wouldn't time cultivators be gods?!
Secondly, if she did seal her soul into stasis, she had no idea if she'd ever wake up. If someone stumbled upon her soul, they could easily take advantage of that! You'd need a hiding spot that would never be found. Not to even freaking mention, this hiding spot couldn't be found in tens of billions of years!!!
Yan Zaizen's first thought was how she'd absolutely destroy anyone paying the children's game of hide-and-go-seek.
Anyhow, lastly, she needed a perpetual energy source to maintain that state of stasis for that many years. The level of energy was far too immense for Yan Zaizen to think about.
”After I awoke, I used my prepared cloned infant body and entered it. In the sixteen years you were in the trial, I was already cultivating until I reached my peak with my preparations.” After saying this, she shrugged as if what she did wasn't very much. This was likely why she had a body younger than her avatar in the temporal void, it was a cloned body.
”To abandon your time...for an art,” Yan Zaizen couldn't help but be inwardly startled by the level of determination to do so. His slumber had lasted three thousand years, and he'd missed so much. Tao's wedding, Bai Lufeng's growth, and likely his entire clan's life...including his uncle and aunt's.
If he had the ability to make that conscious decision, he would never do that. He could never do that. You'd be thrust into an entirely new world. For example, when Yan Zaizen asked her about the Thirty-Three heavens, she had absolutely no clue!
Now, she was in the Heavenly Origin Grounds which had an entrance to it! She was like a caveman out of time.
