Cultivation: But Not a Game

Chapter 519 - 36: Shedding of the Chronoworm, Law of Time Advancement_3

He knew that the giant whale was protecting him, fearing harm from the high-level spirit monsters refreshed by the water eye.

The two whales, one large and one small, disappeared into the sea eye, immediately attracting the attention of nearby cultivators observing the area.

"Something’s happening."

"Quick, follow them."

Dozens of figures flew in from different directions, plunging into the sea eye one after another.

In the sea eye, Su Yu transformed into a small whale, following the giant whale downward. Wherever they went, the spirit monsters emerging from the water eye scattered and fled. The large and small whales entered the water eye, and after descending over a thousand kilometers in this abyss-like water eye, the giant whale stopped.

"Here."

Su Yu looked around in confusion and soon discovered an anomaly.

At the very depths of this water eye, in a place invisible to the naked eye, there was a point of temporal and spatial chaos.

Time was chaotic, and space was disordered.

The disordered space was hidden beneath the chaotic time currents. If Su Yu’s true self hadn’t mastered the Law of Time, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to spot the anomaly here.

The little whale circled around this anomaly, and he saw the spirit monsters refreshed at the bottom of the water eye pass through this chaotic temporal-spatial area. Most went through unaffected, but a small portion disappeared, seemingly swallowed by space.

"So, the giant whale emerged from the spatial rift hidden by this temporal chaos?"

"It lingers in this sea area without leaving because the way back is here; hence, no matter what method is used to lure or drive it away, it’s ineffective."

"Moreover, this spatial rift is concealed by chaotic time currents. The giant whale knows the exit is here but has no way to pass through the time currents to enter."

"Hmm..."

Su Yu pondered for a moment before saying,

"I’ll go take a look."

And he plunged forward.

But was soon halted by an invisible force, and the loud voice of the giant whale resonated:

"Dan...ger..."

"I must return."

The giant whale was silent for a moment, the obstructing force vanished, and the little whale dived into the time currents, disappearing instantaneously.

Upon entering the time currents, the Power of Time surged, and the Celestial Ghost Transformation of the giant whale visibly aged and decayed, collapsing back to its true form in less than three seconds. Then, the +30 Law of Time on his true form shielded him from the effects of the time currents.

"Time currents!"

Su Yu extended his right hand, feeling the Power of Time flowing.

With a thought, intangible waves emanated from him as the center, causing the surrounding Power of Time to pause and flow more slowly, but it exceeded his control limit in just a minute and returned to its original state.

"My grasp of the Law is still inadequate."

Shifting his gaze, Su Yu revolved once again through the time currents, quickly discovering an anomaly.

Within these time currents, there indeed existed a spatial rift concealed by the temporal chaos. Due to the influence of the time currents, the spatial rift didn’t manifest in reality. It was visible only to exceptionally powerful individuals or those who mastered the Law of Time.

Surprisingly, though this spatial rift was quite large, with a diameter of tens of kilometers, it was clearly insufficient to accommodate a giant whale over a thousand kilometers long.

Moreover...

Su Yu reached the center of the spatial rift and could see a thin layer of the world’s membrane covering the surface of the rift, representing the world’s innate force to repair spatial rifts.

Typically, if there’s no external interference, the Power of Origin of the world would gradually repair these spatial rifts.

However, he noticed a force preventing the space from being repaired.

This force was an extraordinarily powerful Power of Time, penetrating through the thin world membrane and infiltrating this world, forming the temporal chaos enveloping the spatial rift.

Meaning...

"Beyond this spatial rift, an exceedingly strong origin of temporal chaos is preventing this spatial rift from being repaired by the Power of the World."

....

Su Yu watched as spirit monsters occasionally emerged from the water eye, entering this time chaos, rapidly aging and decaying. Occasionally, those of higher level would resist the time currents, pass through the world’s membrane, and disappear into the spatial rift. He became torn.

"Should I go in and take a look?"

He pondered briefly before making a firm decision:

"Go, things must be resolved eventually; at worst, I die, and it’s not the first time."

Clenching his teeth, Su Yu summoned the Cyan Cloud Cover and plunged into the world’s membrane.

Meanwhile, numerous cultivators had dived into the sea eye and soon found the giant whale lingering above the time currents.

"Hmm? Where’s the little whale gone?"

"Why is this giant whale just lingering here?"

They looked around but couldn’t see anything.

"This giant whale has never entered the sea eye before. That person transformed into a whale and is of the same tribe; surely, there’s been some communication, perhaps learning something from the whale."

Some keen thinkers had guessed something.

"There must be a secret around here."

"Let’s dive down and see."

Silently, the group maneuvered from afar, bypassing the giant whale to descend below it, soon encountering the time currents.

"Not good, the time currents here have cost me 2 months of lifespan."

"I lost 1 month, and it decreases by 1 month every second."

"Damn, I’m losing 4 months per second."

"There’s definitely a secret in here; let’s go in and see."

"You guys go ahead; I can’t endure this loss, as my grasp of the Law is insufficient."

"Alright."

....

"Buzz!"

Su Yu felt a sudden lightness envelop his body, a blend of extraordinarily powerful time force, and frenzied void storms swept over. The Cyan Cloud Cover trembled violently, its defense diminishing rapidly at a rate of millions per second.

Crossing the spatial rift, seeing what lay ahead, Su Yu was utterly astounded.
