710 Locking the Time River, Binding the Immortals (2) “Even if we want to continue probing in other universes, we still need to mobilize the Quasi Immortal Emperors to take action. However, after this battle, those Quasi Immortal Emperors will definitely be on guard and will probably not take action easily for thousands of years. Under normal circumstances, it’s very normal for a Quasi Immortal Emperor to not take action for thousands or tens of thousands of years. We can’t tell if this is intentionally avoided or normal.
In that case, the Boundless Chaos Sea is more likely to drag on for thousands of years and survive this crisis.”
“I see.” Yan Qing was enlightened. Then, he asked, “Master, how should we deal with this matter? This act of hiding the universe is clearly very suspicious. Moreover, there’s Junior Brother Feng…”
“I will personally meet Immortal Emperor Tianshui and Immortal Emperor An Chen and report the situation in detail,” Emperor Wu said in a low voice. “At that time, it will be up to the two Immortal Emperors to decide how to deal with it. I will also ask them to save Feng Sheng.”
Immortal Emperor An Chen was the ruler of the continent where the Taiwu Mountain was located, while Immortal Emperor Tianshui was a Rogue Immortal and was not in charge of the management of the Primordial World. However, he had a good relationship with Emperor Wu’s master.
“Master is wise.” Yan Qing first flattered him, then asked, “Master, there’s something I don’t understand. Aren’t Quasi Immortal Emperor and Immortal Emperors powerful enough to grasp the mysteries of time? Why would they still suffer the backlash of the River of Time?”
“Have you reached the edge of touching the mysteries of time?” Emperor Wu sized up Yan Qing and smiled. “Not bad, your cultivation has improved a lot. In that case, it’s time to tell you this.
Although Quasi Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors have grasped the mysteries of time, they are also enduring the curse of time. Although the cultivation system of the Boundless Chaos Sea is different from ours, they have the same end points. It’s roughly equivalent, and there are similar problems.
Actually, ever since we reached the Quasi Immortal Emperor realm, we’ve been improving ourselves by constantly invading the power of the River of Time. This way, we’ll naturally be rejected or even targeted by the power of time.
Therefore, be it a Quasi Immortal Emperor or an Immortal Emperor, when they use time techniques, they usually won’t unleash more than 50% of their full strength to ensure absolute control.
If one exceeds the limits of their control when using time techniques, it’s very likely that they will suffer a backlash from the River of Time. At best, their lifespan will be greatly reduced, and at worst, their cultivation will fall. The consequences will be extremely serious.
This is also the reason why Quasi Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors rarely use time techniques in battle of the same level. Because they are entangled with too much time power, they will suffer extremely huge damage when they encounter an attack on the Time Spectrum.
As long as they can’t kill the other party in one strike and make him lose all ability to resist, they will also suffer an equivalent attack from the power of time. They will definitely suffer extremely huge and even unbearable damage.”
“There’s actually such a thing!” Yan Qing said in surprise, “In that case, the power of time is actually more like a deterrence power for Quasi Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors. It’s not easily used.”
“That’s right.” Emperor Wu nodded and said, “When you step into the Quasi Immortal Emperor realm in the future, you have to be careful at all times. At that time, I’ll teach you a secret technique to defend against time.
This secret technique can ensure that you won’t be killed in a single strike on the Time Spectrum. There’s a chance to counterattack. It’s a secret technique that all Quasi Immortal Emperors and Immortal Emperors must cultivate.”
“Thank you, Master!” Yan Qing hurriedly bowed and thanked him.
“Alright, you and I have been master and disciple for a long time. There’s no need to be so polite.” Emperor Wu waved his hand gently and said, “Follow me to see Immortal Emperor An Chen.”
….
In the Grotto-Heaven Dao Palace.
Cui Heng circulated the Dharmic powers in his body and stretched out his right index finger to gently swipe through the void. Immediately, a rope that emitted a bright golden light appeared out of thin air.
An extremely terrifying shackling power was intertwined on this rope. The surrounding laws, matter, space, and time were affected, as if they were all imprisoned by this rope.
“This is the Immortal Binding Rope?” Cui Heng felt the powerful imprisonment power contained in this spell and was extremely surprised in his heart. He thought to himself, “With the power of this spell, even cultivators who have reached the limit of the Early-stage Return to Void Realm will be imprisoned.
Immortal cultivators who have just stepped into the Mid-stage Return to Void Realm will probably be greatly affected as well. They might even be imprisoned for an instant. This power is too terrifying.
This is only the initial form of power. What kind of scene would it be if it was advanced further? No wonder the description of this spell is that it has the power to bind Immortals.”
This Immortal was not the same as the Immortals of the martial path. They were Immortals who had truly walked the path of Immortal cultivation.
[Immortal Binding Rope: Locks the River of Time and Space and binds Immortals. This technique is the highest manifestation of the Dao of Imprisonment. If cultivated to a high level, it has the power to freeze time and bind Immortals.]
The description was very short. Even when Cui Heng deduced this spell, he did not see any huge phenomena.
He only felt that everything around him had stopped at that moment. It was as if the entire spacetime and all the Great Dao laws had frozen, as if they were imprisoned by an invisible force.
This temporary imprisonment and stillness was almost imperceptible.
If not for the fact that Cui Heng had already transcended the universe and looked down at the essence of life in the River of Time, and had grasped the Immortal Binding Rope spell, he would not have been able to discover this short change in spacetime.
“With this technique, as long as my cultivation advances another step and I complete half of my Early-stage Return to Void cultivation, I can easily crush Quasi Immortal Emperors and not be afraid of ordinary Immortal Emperors.”
Cui Heng was in a very good mood.
Although the Immortal Binding Rope at this stage might only be able to imprison an Immortal Emperor for a short moment, as long as it was combined with his divine power to slow down time, it could imprison the other party for a longer time.
Next, he only needed to keep using the Time Saber.
Of course, the power of time grasped by an Immortal Emperor was extremely powerful, and it was not something he could compare to now. If an Immortal Emperor resisted with all his might, he would definitely be able to affect the flow of time. His Time Saber might not even be able to hit the other party more than a few times. “The body of an Immortal Emperor is still too strong. If I want to truly fight against an Immortal Emperor, I probably have to reach the peak of the Early-stage Return to Void Realm or step into the Mid-stage Return to Void Realm.
Moreover, there are levels among Immortal Emperors. Immortal Emperors like Immortal Emperor An Chen, who are in charge of managing the continent, are only the most ordinary Immortal Emperors. True experts are not in charge of these miscellaneous matters.”
Thinking of this, Cui Heng suppressed the emotions in his heart and thought to himself, “I’m not strong enough yet. It’s best to not provoke Immortal Emperors.
I should go and find Venerable Master Jiu first to understand the situation of the Chaos Heaven to increase my cultivation realm.”
….
When Cui Heng was suppressing Feng Sheng, Venerable Master Jiu had gone to the Immortal Land in the middle of the Silver Disc Star Sea.
At this moment, he knew very well that even if Immortal Cui Heng was not a true Immortal Emperor, he definitely held an Immortal Emperor-level supreme treasure and was extremely powerful.
Instead of staying there and getting in the way, it was better to return to that world and quietly wait for Immortal Cui Heng’s return.
However, Venerable Master Jiu’s return alone surprised Immortal Monarch Chonghe and Fang He.
Immortal Monarch Chonghe could not help but ask, “Lord, why didn’t Immortal Cui Heng come back with us?”
After all, after Cui Heng suppressed Feng Sheng, he went to the Grotto-Heaven Dao Palace and suddenly disappeared from their perspective.
This was very unsettling.
Hong Fugui, Juntian, Daoist Su, and the others had normal expressions.
In their hearts, Cui Heng was an omnipotent existence. There would be no accidents at all.
“Don’t worry, Immortal Cui…”
Venerable Master Jiu was about to explain when he suddenly saw ripples in the void at the side.
Amidst the void ripples, Cui Heng appeared out of thin air and smiled. “The matter has been resolved.”
Then, he said to Venerable Master Jiu, “Can we talk in private?”
