Chapter 456 A Breath

Night falls silently.

It was the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The round, bright moon rose to the middle of the sky, casting bright moonlight. Perhaps because of the magic of the eternal fairyland, the moonlight here was as warm as water. The moonlight around the White Jade Mountain looked like wisps of divine light.

"Zhang Qian, pay attention!"

Dugu Sheng stared at the countless divine lights of time in front of him very nervously.

Zhang Qian did not dare to be negligent. He asked Li Qingque and others to return to the small world.

"Did you see it?"

Suddenly Dugu Sheng stretched out his hand and pointed, and saw that the tidal vortex of time slowed down imperceptibly.

The tidal vortex of time that had previously existed around the sacred mountain was spinning rapidly, but now under the infinite moonlight, it was becoming slower and slower.

Both of them were very sharp-minded and noticed the change immediately.

"Come here quickly, the time has come!"

Dugu Sheng let out a low roar, and seeing that the tide of time was spinning slower and slower, a layer of barely visible light rose from his entire body.

The escaping light was green, and there was a faint Taoist meaning flowing in it that transcended the constraints of time and space.

Zhang Qian took a deep breath and held Dugu Sheng's shoulders tightly.

As time passed, when the moon moved to the center of the sky, it was facing the sacred mountain below.

hum!
An imperceptible vibration of time and space sounded, and the terrible tide of time suddenly stagnated.

"quick!"

"go!"

Dugu Sheng and Zhang Qian shouted at the same time, then Dugu Sheng took a light step, and the green light enveloped the two of them. The Xiaoyao Dengxian escape technique was performed, and the two of them turned into a green divine light and rushed towards the Tide of Time.

brush!
Under tremendous pressure, Dugu Sheng's escape speed was much faster than before, because they only had one breath of time. If they failed to reach the sacred mountain within this time, they would immediately be annihilated and decayed by the tide of endless years!

Zhang Qian, who was following behind Dugu Sheng, could even hear the creaking sound when he clenched his teeth.

"Don't be nervous, you can do this!"

Zhang Qian said something to comfort him, and then began to look around.

Countless divine lights of time were motionless all around, and the bizarre scenes in the divine lights of time stopped at a certain place, like a real picture scroll, like a mirage, but much clearer than a mirage.

"Where are these scenes projected from? They don't look like the scenery of the Thirty-Six States."

Doubts arose in Zhang Qian's mind, but Dugu Sheng didn't dare to think of anything else. He just felt that he had never been so focused in his life.

All his attention was focused on observing the tiny gap.

The crack is tortuous and not straight. This tiny crack is the way in and out of the sacred mountain, and this crack will only exist for a breath of time!
How short is a breath?
A few moments of snapping your fingers is just a breath.

In such a short time, it is terribly difficult to avoid the divine light of countless years in the twists and turns of the gap and safely reach the sacred mountain hundreds of miles away!
When he was halfway through the journey in a breath's time, Dugu Sheng's entire body was emitting billowing white mist, and his qi and blood were circulating to the limit. Not only did he display the magical power of Xiaoyao Dengxian Dundao, he also exerted his bloodline magical power to the limit, and his qi and blood were buzzing.

A streak of blood flowed from the corner of Dugu Sheng's mouth, which made Zhang Qian worried.

"Hold on a little longer, we're almost there!"

As Zhang Qian shouted, the White Jade Sacred Mountain appeared before their eyes.

hum!
Suddenly, just as the two were approaching the White Jade Mountain, an incredible repressive force struck.

This repressive force seems to fall along with people's destiny, giving people a feeling that a disaster is about to happen.

"not good!"

Dugu Sheng's face changed drastically, and his speed suddenly slowed down. The repressive force that descended from the depths of fate made his escape technique almost stagnate.

What was strange was that this repressive force only appeared for a short moment. When the repressive force enveloped Zhang Qian, no one knew what happened, and the repressive force disappeared silently, and even Dugu Sheng could no longer feel the pressure.

"Strange? What's going on?"

Zhang Qian once again remembered the words of the crazy Taoist priest about the hidden man.

Obviously, the repressive force that fell from the depths of fate was dispelled by Zhang Qian's strange fate. But he was not very clear about this.

"arrive!"

Bang!
The green light slammed heavily into the White Jade Mountain.

Dugu Sheng lay flat on the ground, breathing heavily, and couldn't get up for a while.

Zhang Qian hurriedly took out several elixirs and asked Dugu Sheng to take them.

Rumble!
The next moment, the tide of time behind the two began to move, and the tiny gap for entry and exit disappeared.

Just a little bit more and the two would be swept away by the tide of time.

"Damn it, if there's no benefit here as that old man said, I, Dugu Sheng, will never forgive him!"

After taking the elixir, Dugu Sheng sat up with lingering fear.

This sacred white jade mountain is barren of grass. The mountain, which is about a thousand feet high, is made of a whole piece of white jade, which is extremely strange.

Walking in this sacred mountain, Zhang Qian had a strange feeling, as if he was walking in ancient times, or as if he was walking in another time and space, another world!
"Why is the aura of Taoism around me so different?"

The vague Taoist rhyme and aura on the sacred mountain are incompatible with the Xihuang world.

After Dugu Sheng regained his strength, he stood up and jumped a little, then bent down and touched the white jade under his feet.

brush!
I don't know where this guy took out a photo stone from.

After a ray of spiritual light appeared, the image stone was activated, and he held the image stone and began to sweep around.

"what are you doing?"

“Hehe, this is a place that even the Ten Ancient Emperors have never been to. It is a secret place that countless cultivators want to explore. I will imprint the scene here, and when I get out, I will be rich.”

"Uh... I didn't expect you to have some business sense. You really should join the Tianji Pavilion."

"Don't mention it. I once participated in the entrance examination of Tianji Pavilion. Guess what their examination is? They give you ten innate spirit stones and ask you not to leave Tianji City. You have three days to turn these ten spirit stones into more spirit stones. After three days, the examination will begin. Only the first one hundred who make the most profit can join Tianji Pavilion.

Damn it, I took those ten innate spirit stones and went out to have fun, and ate them all in one meal."

"Uh……"

Only then did Zhang Qian know that the entrance examination to Tianji Pavilion was like this.

"what is that!"

Suddenly, Dugu Sheng, who was walking around with the photo stone in his hand, pointed.

Suddenly, a burst of colorful fairy light rose up in front of me, and the fairy light turned into a canopy, floating in the air.

"go!"

The two looked at each other and rushed towards the fairy light.

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them vaguely saw the scene ahead.

This is an area filled with endless fairy light.

A huge palm print is imprinted on the bare white jade sacred mountain.

The palm print was several hundred feet in radius.

Colorful fairy light burst out from the palm print.

A terrifying wave of destruction swept around the palm print.

The fluctuations contained an extremely profound Taoism, as if dozens of rules were entangled together. These rules were combined according to certain rules to form the Taoism of the palm print explosion.

"This palm print!"

Zhang Qian's heart moved. They couldn't move forward at all at this moment. The power emitted by the palm print froze time and space. The two felt that there was an invisible wall in front of them, blocking their way forward.

This wall is invisible; it is purely created by the endless fluctuations of the Tao.
