Chapter 1569 - The Way of Truth (1/2)

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

No matter how sounds of war filled the outside of the dojo, Zhang Ruochen was still unmoved inside. He was calm.

The wall of the Mirror Fragrance Cliff dazzled with divine light. Every rock was filled with divinity.

An ancient image was carved on it, depicting a branch of the Osmanthus tree. It had leaves and flowers with gentle and realistic lines.

This was the Way of Truth picture that the Tree G.o.d had left!

If one studied it, one had a chance of comprehending the Rules of Truth.

Zhang Ruochen studied it carefully for two hours without seeing anything special about it. He just felt that it was a normal stone carving.

Is it because I’m not perceptive enough and can’t comprehend the Rules of Truth?

As soon as this thought appeared, Zhang Ruochen shook his head with a smile, thinking, I’m just too impatient. Many cultivators study in the Truth G.o.dly Palace for one month without any gains. I’ve only looked at the picture for a little bit. How can I comprehend the Rules of Truth?

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Ling Feiyu.

Even this Sword Way genius with shocking perception had a confused look. Evidently, the Way of Truth stumped her too.

Zhang Ruochen thought carefully for a while. Then he took out a piece of Honghua Vine from his spatial ring.

He stabbed it into the ground and ignited it.

With the help of the Honghua Vine, the group could figure out the Rules of Truth with more ease.

However, Zhang Ruochen didn’t do that immediately. Instead, he took out the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide, flipped to a page, and started reading carefully.

Ling Feiyu saw Zhang Ruochen’s strange action and asked, “You gave up because it’s too hard?”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head with a smile. “No hurry. You can’t forget one thing just because you’re doing another.”

Even Ling Feiyu who knew Zhang Ruochen well couldn’t figure out what he wanted to do.

Instead of asking about it further, she continued to observe.

To Ling Feiyu, this was a rare chance. She had to figure out the Rules of Truth so her sword could become stronger. Otherwise, she would have a disadvantage when facing top figures in the future.

The page that Zhang Ruochen was studying had abstruse time prints drawn on it. Every print was complex. A regular cultivator’s head would hurt if they looked at it for too long.

Only someone with strong enough Spiritual Power could study it.

This session lasted three days and nights.

During this time, Zhang Ruochen rested more than ten times. Each time, he had to stop because he used up too much Spiritual Power.

Before, I thought that my Spiritual Power was strong enough. It reached level 54 and many Saint Kings aren’t as strong as me. But after starting to truly study the Way of s.p.a.ce and Time, I realize that my Spiritual Power is far from enough.

After getting re-energized, Zhang Ruochen took out a rune pen and spiritual paper. He started practicing drawing time prints.

More days pa.s.sed by. Zhang Ruochen used up a lot of spiritual power and finally drew a time print on it. It lasted for two instants too.

Not bad. I’ll try it now.

Zhang Ruochen was quite satisfied with his result. A smile appeared involuntarily on his face.

During this short period, he’d studied a formation to slow down the flow of time.

If time sped up, a year could pa.s.s in an instant.

If time slowed, spending two days here might only be one day outside.

After all, they could only stay in the Truth Heavenly Domain for one year. It was a very limited amount of time to study the Way of Truth. But if he could set up a time formation, then they would have much more time.

Zhang Ruochen had some results from his research, so he started putting it to work.

Setting up a formation that slowed down time was much harder than a formation that sped up time, because you were creating a cultivation refuge for yourself, instead of attacking enemies. Thus, you had to first consider the stability of the flow of time.

Next, Zhang Ruochen failed more than ten times, destroying many saint stones and jades. Finally, he created a formation with very stable time.

“I finally completed it,” Zhang Ruochen said, smiling. “Everyone can enter the formation to study the Way of Truth image.”

No one present had figured out a single Rule of Truth. Hearing Zhang Ruochen’s words, they all stood up and walked over.

Su Jing had a thoughtful expression. “What’s the ratio of time compared to the outside world?”

“Around two to one,” Zhang Ruochen said.

Su Jing was a top figure of a large world, after all, so he knew some things about the Way of Time. He sighed inwardly. Zhang Ruochen could double the time ratio with his first time formation. His talent in this aspect would probably make the geniuses of the Time G.o.dly Palace jealous.

“With a time formation here, the cultivators of Guanghan Field can have double the time to study. What a great accomplishment!” Su Jing exclaimed.

Zhang Ruochen wasn’t very satisfied.
