Chapter 202 The Crystal of Time

The diameter of the pool was more than meter. Tang Xiao threw a stone at one third of the edge of the pool. After the stone fell into the water, it quickly sank the bottom. However, in the process of sinking the bottom, it only took more than ten seconds. The stone disappeared into ashes and disappeared invisible at the bottom of the pool, just like Tang Xiao had never thrown it in.

Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel shocked. He didn't expect that the corrosiveness of the pool water was so strong. If this were the case, the crystal in the center of the pool water would definitely not be able to be salvaged.

This crystal should have enclosed the source of the entire secret realm space and fished it out of the pool water. The seal of the entire secret realm space should be lifted, and Tang Xiao and Princess Yitai can return to the initial place of visit.

In order to understand how corrosive the pool water is and to understand its rules, Tang Xiao threw more stones down, and even tentatively used the talismans in Pang Tai's body to enter the pool water for a while. Soon Tang Xiao discovered some of the rules of the pool water.

The further away from the center of the pool, the slower the corrosion rate of stones and talismans. At the edge of the pool, it takes about one minute to completely dissolve the stones, and in the center of the pool, the stones dissolve the moment they enter the water.

Corrosive?

Tang Xiao was a little suspicious about why water in a pool had such strong corrosiveness in the center and weaker corrosiveness on the edges?

It has something to do with the crystal in the center of the pool water?

What can make the stone weather so quickly?

What if... this pool of water is not a corrosive liquid?

Tang Xiao searched Pang Tai's storage gourd and found a herb that had been picked from Leizhou Mountain. The leaves were still green. Tang Xiao tried to throw the leaves of the herb on the edge of the circular pool water. After the green leaves entered the water, it quickly turned yellow in less than a second, and then turned into ashes and disappeared, which was many times faster than the stones.

Thinking of the time barrier outside, a thought suddenly emerged in Tang Xiao's mind.

This is not corrosion, but time

The crystals in the circular pool water are mostly related to time. The closer the pool water is to the crystal, the faster the time flow rate in it, and the farther away from the crystal, the slower the time flow rate in it. This entire pool water is actually equivalent to a time barrier, sealing the middle crystal. The time in the pool water, contrary to the time in the outside barrier, is constantly accelerating and moving forward.

Therefore, after the stone is thrown into the pond water, it is quickly weathered into ashes by time rather than being corroded and dissolved. This also explains why leaves disappear faster than stones, because leaves rot much faster in time than when the stone is weathered.

The crystal in the center of the pool water must be the source of energy in the entire time barrier, and it may also be the key to unlocking this secret realm so that Tang Xiao and all those trapped in this secret realm can return to the original world. Only by obtaining that crystal can this time pool be destroyed. If this time pool is destroyed, perhaps this secret realm will collapse and no longer exist.

This crystal that can control time is definitely a super treasure. Tang Xiao even felt that this pool of water was probably formed after time liquefaction, and the preciousness of the time crystal condensed into a solid time in the center is self-evident.

The time of liquefaction and crystallization feels too ridiculous, and the physics of the previous life cannot be explained at all. However, all this in front of us has to make Tang Xiao believe that there is indeed such a strange thing in the world.

What a terrible thing it would be if you could get that time crystal and successfully use the time energy in it.

For example, let time stop, or let time pass by quickly…

Of course, this is just Tang Xiao’s own imagination, and the crystal is hidden at the bottom of the pool and cannot be retrieved. As soon as anything touches the water in the center of the pool, it will be immediately melted by the time passing by at high speed so that there is no residue left.

...

"Who have you ever heard of the Time Crystal?" Tang Xiao's original body opened his eyes and asked the puppets around him. He decided to use the brainstorming method of his previous life to solve the current problems, and did not want to waste time and effort to enter their souls one by one to search for answers.

The puppets all had a blank expression, not sure if they didn't know, or they didn't want to answer Tang Xiao.

"Is it the Crystal of Time? I've heard the legend about the Crystal of Time." After a while, Zhong Lan answered Tang Xiao.

"You really know everything, tell me." Tang Xiao smiled. He found a reason to leave Zhong Lan in the future and not refine her into the human pill.

"I have heard of some Tianyuan magic weapons with time attributes that are driven by the crystal of time..." Zhong Lan's eyes showed a longing spirit. Like Tang Xiao, she was also a martial arts crazier, and she had an instinctive yearning for powerful martial arts, magic weapons, etc.

"There are also some secret realms of time and space, which must be sufficient time crystal energy to open..." Zhong Lan continued.

The Ciyun Sect has a history of nearly a thousand years. When they moved from the Jiuzhou Continent and the Daming Dynasty to the whole, some classics in the sect that record ancient secret treasures and legends were also transported. What Zhong Lan has always loved to do since she was a child was to hide in the vast library of Ciyun Sect’s books during the gaps in martial arts practice and read various books.

So when Tang Xiao asked many things, Zhong Lan basically knew about them. Of course, Zhong Lan showed this to Tang Xiao for survival. Judging from her understanding of Tang Xiao during this period, Tang Xiao is not a brutal person.

"In addition to these functions, the time crystal can also cause a time fluctuation in the warrior's body under the driving of some Tianyuan magic weapons, but the time fluctuation is uncontrollable and as long as it occurs, it cannot be reversed."

"Once a warrior causes time fluctuations, within one hour, he can initiate time stagnation at will. In the state of time stagnation, except for the warrior himself, everything in the world will become extremely slow. In the state of time stagnation, this warrior will gain an absolute advantage in fighting with people."

"However, time fluctuations can only be initiated once, and the subsequent chain reaction will consume all the energy of this time crystal. In addition, the side effects after the time fluctuation are initiated are very fatal. It will make the initiator's life burn quickly, aging and rapidly entering death during this time."

"Unless some monsters with extremely strong vitality can live for hundreds of thousands of years or tens of millions of years, such as the Hundred Herb King, Stone Elvis among the four demon kings, or the kind of warriors who have reached the peak of Tianyuan level, can barely compete with this kind of life burning. For ordinary warriors with cultivation levels of Tianyuan level and below, causing time fluctuations is equivalent to disguised suicide."

"Damn it's another mortal placing pill." Tang Xiao cursed inwardly. The last use of Shi Zhijing, like the soul-breaking pill, could allow warriors to have an hour of nearly invincible time, and then... die.

Thinking of the Soul-Splitting Pill that he had obtained and the Shi Zhi Crystal that he had not yet obtained, Tang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little unlucky. Why is this secret realm full of such things? Does it instantly become powerful and have to pay for his life? In this way, what's the use of this treasure no matter how powerful it is?

Despite his disappointment, Tang Xiao decided to take over the crystal of the time first. After all, if he wants to go back, he must first untie the seal of the crystal of the time. In addition, after his martial arts cultivation is high in the future, he may obtain some time-attribute magic weapons of the Tianyuan level, and he may use the crystal of the time at that time.

"There is another legend that should be related to the crystal at this time." Zhong Lan saw Tang Xiao close his eyes and said to him again.

"What legend?" Tang Xiao opened his eyes and looked at Zhong Lan. Now he was much more pleasing to her than before. After seeing her, Tang Xiao felt that Zhong Lan was indeed one of the best beauties on Obi Island.

"I heard that hundreds of thousands of years ago, a piece of Time Crystal was discovered on Obi Island, and was finally obtained by a sheep demon named "Sheep Sheng Hair" who practiced to the Tianyuan level. Because it could not control the powerful time energy of Time Crystal, when she studied the Time Crystal, she triggered the burning and passing of her life, and it could not be reversed..."

"In the end, the sheep had no choice but to use its soul to condense a secret space, and sealed the secret space with the crystal of time. The remaining countless soul thoughts drifted into the dark void, and some entered other secret spaces, forming various traps, and the monsters and warriors entered it." Zhong Lan continued.

"What you are talking about is the secret realm of space we are in now..." Tang Xiao nodded thoughtfully: "The Tianyuan-level sheep demon who obtained the Time Crystal is probably the original owner of the Sheep Plain. He must have left a thought in the Sheep Village, that is, the ban that can be teleported here, and only the patriarch of the Sheep Demon can open it, so we accidentally entered here."

"I guess the purpose of the ancestor of the sheep demon, Yang Shengmao, set up this secret realm of space with his soul, is to train and choose some super-strong warriors, or train descendants of his sheep clan, so that they can crack and use the energy of Time Crystal, perfectly solve the dilemma of Time Crystal burning his life, and finally rescue him from it." Zhong Lan speculated based on the information she got from Tang Xiao and combined with what she knew.
