Too much fruit

Chapter 980 Time Travel
The stone platform made of earth and stone was not damaged at all in the magma, and even had a metallic luster under the tempering of the flames.

On the stone platform, there were traces of varying depths, as well as a metal book as tall as the human body.

The Chiyou Three Plates Sutra was made from Chiyou's bones, and Chiyou's body had long since reached a state of near immortality. Even after so many years, the Chiyou Three Plates Sutra still showed no signs of decay, as if even the five turbidities and evil spirits could not corrode it.

However, the stone platform carrying the "Chiyou Three-Pan Sutra" does not have such near-immortal strength.

The stone platform is covered with traces of marks, some deep, some shallow, some new, and some old, including burn marks and claw-like marks.

The ancient fierce fire could not melt this specially refined stone platform, but if it was driven by Hanba, it might not be possible. Obviously, in the past 800 years, Hanba had tried to escape from the seal from below, but was restrained by Yinglong Daoguo and could not escape.

These traces were basically left by Hanba.

Looking at the old and new traces, Hanba had attacked the seal before escaping. But if Jiang Li's guess was true, Hanba should have regained consciousness by then, and would not have left such messy new traces.

This move seems to be an attempt to cover up one's mistake.

Jiang Li slowly descended to the stone platform, looked at these traces, and suddenly said: "The light of the universe is reversed, and time is flowing backwards."

When the Fairy Queen was refining the elixir of immortality in the Ziwei Palace, the late Emperor used the [Heavenly Decree] to speed up the time in the underground palace, allowing the elixir to be refined ahead of schedule.

If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor's Dao Fruit had a lifespan limit that even the elixir of immortality could not restore, perhaps the late emperor could have successfully reversed the situation and lived another life.

Now, Jiang Li also used his magical power to interfere with time. [Emperor Out of Shock] forcibly reversed time and restored the stone platform.

This method of operation can be said to be without any tricks, it just requires a strong force to fly, and it is to use the magical power to force time to flow backwards. Under the same performance, Jiang Li's action consumes far more energy than the great master who has the magical power of the universe.

However, Jiang Li now has the blessing of [I am the State] and the recovery of [One-foot Hammer], so he can hold on no matter how much consumption he endures.

The energy in his body flowed away like a flood, but was replenished in the next moment. The recovery interval of the third-grade [One-foot Hammer] was ten times shorter than before. Although the time of that moment was quite short, there was still a little gap in the third-grade confrontation, and now, it was almost zero.

This means that as long as Jiang Li's power is less than half consumed, it can be considered infinite in another way.

And under this lavish consumption, the traces of the stone platform gradually disappeared and recovered.

Taking the present as the starting point and tracing back, within a few breaths we can reach a year ago, and in contrast, a whole new trace has disappeared.

Afterwards, time continued to move forward, and as Jiang Li expected, it was already time for the sword-fighting conference.

The traces on the stone platform were still disappearing. It was obvious that Hanba was quite violent during the sword-fighting competition.

Further ahead——

Three years, four years...

The speed at which the traces are disappearing is gradually slowing down, or in other words, the traces left by the drought demon at that time are decreasing, and only one or two traces are left within a year.

After that...

Stopped.

When the time span reaches ten years ago, the traces can no longer be restored.

It can also be said that Hanba will no longer impact the seal for a considerable period of time, fifteen years as far as is known, and it is still increasing.

Jiang Li felt that this was understandable. It's not like madmen don't get tired. They also need to rest.

Time continued to go back, twenty years, thirty years... until sixty years ago, faint burn marks were restored, it seemed that Hanba was not practicing at that time.

But that was the only change.

Jiang Li continued to reverse time, and after three hundred years, the traces left on the stone platform still did not recover.

And Jiang Li's eyes gradually became profound.

The answer is already obvious. Hanba has been sleeping for at least three hundred years.

The reason for his deep sleep was very simple. Either he simply overslept. After all, in this seal, apart from sleeping and impacting the seal, there seemed to be nothing else to do, or...
It is to use deep sleep to resist the erosion of the five turbidities. The seventh-grade practitioners are already able to communicate with the heaven and earth, but they absolutely dare not do so. If they are not careful, they will absorb the five turbidities into their bodies and die on the spot.

The Qi Refiner Dao Fruit that Jiang Li had once received was one of the top seventh-grade Dao Fruits, but no one wanted it because of the Dao Fruit ability of [Heaven and Man in Harmony]. It was because this Dao Fruit ability would greatly enhance the connection between oneself and the heaven and earth, and basically nine out of ten cultivators who received it would die.

Above the seventh grade, the higher the grade, the stronger the perception, and the more one can sense the decay and decline between heaven and earth.

This kind of mental induction can only be endured by relying on one's state of mind and will. If one cannot hold on, one's own consciousness will be assimilated by the sense of decay and decay, and one will die on the spot.

This is also why many old guys choose to hide in paradise.

Hanba has a special physique, with two completely different attributes of a god and a monster. Even if she was corroded by the five turbidities and evil spirits, she could still live from eight hundred years ago to the present. But if her consciousness had been corroded for eight hundred years, she would not have had a good ending.

There are very few people who can ignore the decline of this world, and Hanba is not one of them.

"If that's the case, Hanba will regain consciousness very early."

Jiang Li looked at the stone platform which had not changed much, and realized that the tricks of Hanba were getting bigger and bigger.

I really underestimated this person before.

Even though she was already a top powerhouse eight hundred years ago, and was even able to reduce half of Yongzhou to barren land, she was unable to fully exert her strength due to the loss of her sanity, so both Jiang Li and Tianjun underestimated her.

Of course, this is also because someone is covering for Hanba behind the scenes.

As more clues were discovered, Jiang Li became more and more certain that there was someone behind Hanba and Tan Wuwei.

"Who could you be?"

Jiang Li looked at those traces and said quietly.

At this time, the time of the stone platform had been reversed to seven hundred and sixty years ago, and the traces on the stone platform finally began to disappear again.

This also means that seven hundred and sixty years ago, Hanba had recovered from his possession and regained his sanity.

skyline.

The towering Nantianmen Gate was covered with mottled marks. Even this former gateway to the heavens no longer had the glory of the past in the last days of the law. Jiang Li had fought a great battle with the Heavenly Monarch here before, and he almost destroyed the Nantianmen Gate, leaving many gaps above and below it.

A ray of golden light passed through the heavy clouds and landed in front of the South Heaven Gate, revealing the figure of Sun Wukong.

"Bah! Such a turbid and foul smell."

As soon as Sun Wukong saw the five turbid evil air that turned into gray wind, he felt unwell.

He looked up and saw that the once magnificent palaces and pavilions seemed blurred in the gray wind, and he could even see some ruins.

"Looking at this appearance, it's no wonder that the old Jade Emperor is left with only the Taoist fruit." Sun Wukong murmured.

He had long known about the tragedy of the Dharma Ending Age, but it was not until now, when he saw the Heaven Palace become like this, that Sun Wukong felt the real tragedy.

He knew how glorious the heaven was in the past. Comparing it with the present, the difference was extremely cruel.

You should know that it is not just the gods who live in the heavens, but also the three celestial masters. However, they are in the highest Sanqing Heaven, and we have not seen the situation yet.

Sun Wukong had never been to Sanqingtian, so it was difficult to find the way in.

"However, there is a place that may be able to tell me how to get to Sanqingtian."

As he spoke, he turned into a ray of golden light, entered the South Gate of Heaven, and went towards the Tushita Palace as if he knew the way.

That was the usual residence of Taishang Laojun, and it was also the favorite place of Sun Wukong, the habitual thief monkey.
