Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 412 - 408: Illusions in the River of Time

In the blink of an eye, ten days in the Illusion Realm, a hundred thousand years in the Dream Realm Pearl, passed like this.

As Xia Feng’s whole Divine Soul emerged from the Dream Realm Pearl, his body couldn’t help but shiver, and his eyes became somewhat dazed and confused.

The Wuji Divine Monarch eagerly reformed a blood shadow, staring intently at Xia Feng.

"How is it?"

"How have you comprehended it?"

"With your exceptional talent, you should have grasped at least a fraction, right?"

In Xia Feng’s eyes, the yin and yang quickly condensed, and the Time Reversal began to emerge. Then Xia Feng saw that during these ten days, the Wuji Divine Monarch would come by almost every day.

However, he never revealed himself, just observed from a distance, then quickly disappeared, seemingly afraid that he would disturb Xia Feng’s cultivation here.

The Wuji Divine Monarch was dumbfounded at this moment: "This, this is Time Reversal?"

Xia Feng’s lips curled slightly every time the Wuji Divine Monarch mentioned the Great Dao of Time, always emphasizing how difficult and challenging this dao was.

Now it was his turn to astonish the Wuji Divine Monarch.

He looked over with a faint smile: "To achieve this ability, how much have I mastered?"

The Wuji Divine Monarch’s eyes lit up with excitement, looking at Xia Feng, as if he wished to drag Xia Feng away immediately.

This made Xia Feng even more curious: "So you give me the Secret Treasure, the Ancient Divine Techniques, and let me cultivate the Great Dao of Time..."

"What exactly do you wish for me to do?"

Xia Feng’s demeanor calmed, his eyes gazing unblinkingly at the Wuji Divine Monarch in front of him, as if trying to deduce his true intentions and conspiracy.

Just like he had speculated before, the Wuji Divine Monarch was indeed still alive, even capable of coalescing to communicate formally.

But it had been a long time since a Divine Monarch appeared among the Ten Great Divine Domains; now, all rulers were Divine Kings.

All beings above the Divine King had perished in that war. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

But how exactly did the Wuji Divine Monarch survive, and how did he appear here?

The Wuji Divine Monarch was silent for a moment, then spoke words that left Xia Feng slightly shocked.

"I am alive, yet also dead."

Xia Feng’s eyebrows slightly raised as the Wuji Divine Monarch across from him gave a bitter smile and continued: "Now that you have begun comprehending the Great Dao of Time, using Time Reversal, you’ve understood more than half of what I gave you."

"So you must have seen the River of Time, and know that those who cultivate the Great Dao of Time can coalesce illusions in the River of Time?"

Xia Feng paused, with a somewhat stunned expression: "Are you saying..."

The Wuji Divine Monarch nodded: "Yes, I am already dead, and now, I exist as an illusion coalesced in the River of Time."

"Through the illusion, I created different entities, but they all seem incorrect."

He sighed in some exasperation; they always said that those who cultivated the Great Dao of Time were nearly immortal.

Because no matter how many times they died, their figures would always remain in the River of Time, allowing them to resurrect repeatedly through themselves from other times.

But when it came to himself, the Wuji Divine Monarch realized how misleading those words were.

Although he could find his future self in the River of Time and project it, those futures could not be altered; it was merely himself from that time, a very fragmented period.

He couldn’t continue to grow, and could only traverse through those scattered fragments, finding his comprehension of the Great Dao of Time beginning to dissipate.

If he continued traversing like this, he might die in the River of Time, disappearing entirely.

The Wuji Divine Monarch’s gaze turned to Xia Feng, filled with expectation and even plea.

"So I hope you... can continue cultivating the Great Dao of Time, and someday in the future, fish me out of the River of Time, allowing me to become a true person, resurrected once more."

Xia Feng’s expression became even more astonished: "Can I accomplish that?"

The Wuji Divine Monarch’s expression bore some bitterness: "Only you can. I simulated countless times, traversing the River of Time over a hundred times, and the Infinite Secret Realm opened hundreds of times."

"Only you’ve made it here, and only your talent... gives me that faint glimmer of hope."

Xia Feng scratched his head; the current Wuji Divine Monarch seemed on the verge of collapsing.

He clung desperately like someone at the edge of despair, holding onto the last lifeline, refusing to let go.

Xia Feng frowned, then spoke with some resignation after a long while: "All I can say is that I will try my best when I get the chance in the future, but I can’t guarantee success."

The Wuji Divine Monarch’s eyes instantly brightened: "No matter, as long as you give it your all, I..."

He spoke many incoherent words, seemingly very excited, causing Xia Feng to sigh slightly.

Before it ended, the Wuji Divine Monarch stuffed three light spheres into Xia Feng’s hands.

"These are the Cultivation Techniques I practiced before, a frequently used Ancient Divine Artifact of mine, and a Treasure."

"Now, I can no longer traverse time freely, so I leave these three items with you. Perhaps you can wield their true power."

As his words fell, the protective shields surrounding the three light spheres gradually vanished, revealing their contents.

He casually flipped through them, his eyes growing increasingly bright.

The Secret Manual was an Ancient Divine Technique—the Infinite Divine Technique.

This was an all-encompassing Heart Method, capable of merging multiple Great Dao Laws cultivated into one.

And the cultivated Infinite Divine Power could wield any of the Great Dao Laws they’ve practiced.

This Divine Technique was originally found by the Wuji Divine Monarch, who simultaneously cultivated the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of Space, intending to merge the two into the supreme Great Dao of Space-Time.

Now passed to Xia Feng, it was expected that with ten or more Great Daos, he could wield even greater power, merging them all together, how formidable it would be!

He suppressed his immediate urge to try it and unfolded the soft armor from the second light sphere.

Beside him, the Wuji Divine Monarch fear he might not understand its significance, kept introducing it.

This is an Ancient Divine Artifact named Infinite Divine Armor, a form of close-fitting soft armor, effortlessly blocking the opponent’s attacks.

Like the Infinite Divine Technique, it allows one to meld their Great Dao into it, enhancing its defensive power with each integrated dao.
