Chapter 258: The Problem of Time

Lin Jiufeng looked at the Immortal King in front of him and asked, “Immortal King, why did you go attack the Nine Heavens?”

“To pry into the secrets of the immortals,” replied the Immortal King.

“The secret of the immortals?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the Immortal King, puzzled.

“Where did immortals come from? I wanted to understand this secret,” the Immortal King said.

“Have you figured it out?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“I don’t know!” The Immortal King shook his head.

“You don’t know?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the Immortal King in surprise.

“When I was sent here, I hadn’t started my attack on the Nine Heavens yet,” the Immortal King said softly.

“Before I attacked the nine heavens, I peeked into the future to see if there was a new answer in the river of time. That’s when I met you in the river of time. Then, this wisp of my consciousness carried the Dao of the Immortal King and was sent here. I don’t know what happened after that,” the Immortal King said.

“I see!” Lin Jiu was suddenly enlightened. He smiled bitterly. It seemed that this Immortal King wouldn’t be able to solve his doubts either.

The reason why the Immortal King attacked the Nine Heavens was to figure out where the immortals came from.

Lin Jiufeng had heard this problem from Elder Universe in the Undying Mountain of the Land of Extremely Negative Energy.

The senior of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Elder Universe, had mentioned this problem before.

He had said that there was a problem with the Dao of the Immortals.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t understand at that time. But from the looks of it now, he had to pay more attention in the future and find more information in this area.

“I’m only in charge of pa.s.sing down the Dao. I don’t know anything else. I’ll give you my Great Dao now.” The Immortal King seemed to have guessed Lin Jiufeng’s thoughts. He said directly and punched out.

Boom!

This punch shattered Lin Jiufeng. Endless Great Dao surged into Lin Jiufeng’s flesh, blood, and bones, rebuilding him at this moment.

Destroy the enemy with a punch to prevent receiving 100 punches from the enemy!

This was the character of the Immortal King. If he encountered a problem, he would solve it. Then, he would follow the clues and find the person behind the scenes, then directly kill that person.

Lin Jiufeng deeply felt it at this moment.

His body exploded, but his consciousness was extremely clear. He sensed the Immortal King’s Dao and sank into it.

In this place of chaos, Lin Jiufeng’s body slowly recovered. He comprehended an extremely powerful Dao in the Immortal King’s Great Dao.

Reverse time and s.p.a.ce, control of the chaos energy, Yin energy, and Yang energy.

When Lin Jiufeng was comprehending the Dao, he even saw a shocking scene.

The Immortal King came to the sea and discussed the Dao with someone.

That person said, “My Dao is that of controlling the world with a flip of my palm!”

The Immortal King was expressionless. He directly punched out and exploded the other party with his fist.

“This is my Dao!” The Immortal King said directly.

The Immortal King was famous for killing.

Killing had always been his forte. His Dao was that of killing, which could destroy everything.

Lin Jiufeng was studying it carefully.

He sank into it and swam freely in the vast Great Dao, feeling the terrifying Great Dao of the Immortal King.

Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng had the Immortal King Attacking the Nine Heavens phenomenon. It wasn’t difficult for him to comprehend it at all. It was just that this Great Dao was too vast, too dense, and too mellow. He needed to comprehend and absorb it very thoroughly.

The Immortal King looked at the Immortal King Attacking the Nine Heavens phenomenon appearing on Lin Jiufeng’s body and murmured, “It seems that I succeeded. I wonder if I found the answer I wanted?”

No one answered his question. Lin Jiufeng had sunk into the Great Dao. The surroundings were empty. Right then, the Immortal King sighed and his figure disappeared.

Only Lin Jiufeng was left, wandering alone with the Great Dao.

A day later, Lin Jiufeng opened his eyes. He looked around, but there was no sign of the Immortal King.

Lin Jiufeng knew that the Immortal King had disappeared.

He put away the disappointment and the many doubts in his heart as he waited for the fifth powerhouse to appear.

The first four were all very powerful existences.

The Lord of Mortal Life, the King of Recovery, the King of G.o.ds, the Invincible Immortal King!

Lin Jiufeng looked forward to the next three people.

They should also be powerful existences that have been forgotten by history.

But the truth was unexpected.

The fifth supreme powerhouse didn’t appear. Only a phantom appeared, then raised his hand and struck, causing this s.p.a.ce of chaos to tremble. A Great Dao appeared and it was very unfamiliar. Lin Jiufeng couldn’t figure out who it was.

The fifth supreme powerhouse didn’t appear and just directly imparted the Great Dao to Lin Jiufeng.

Lin Jiufeng couldn’t force it. He could only silently comprehend this Great Dao.

On this day, he didn’t dare to stop for even a moment. The fifth Great Dao was slightly obscure and difficult to understand. Unlike the previous few, Lin Jiufeng had to focus fully in order to memorize all of it in one day.

It didn’t matter if he couldn’t comprehend it now, he just had to memorize it.

Then, when he was free next time, he could silently comprehend it.

Lin Jiufeng thought that the fifth powerhouse was a special existence. He used a day to record the Great Dao of this supreme powerhouse in his memory.

On the sixth day, he looked forward to the sixth supreme powerhouse.

Boom!

But Lin Jiufeng only received a ball of Great Dao that entered his body like raging flames.

The sixth supreme powerhouse didn’t appear either.

Similar to the fifth, he also imparted the Great Dao to Lin Jiufeng and then disappeared without revealing his appearance.

Lin Jiufeng couldn’t care about anything else. He made the best use of his time to comprehend it. Even if he couldn’t comprehend it in a day, memorizing it was still good.

In any case, after he went out, he could slowly comprehend it.

The seventh day!

Lin Jiufeng was still waiting for the last supreme powerhouse.

But the situation was exactly the same as before. This powerhouse didn’t show his face either. He only pointed out and a ball of light which contained the Great Dao seeped into Lin Jiufeng’s body.

Lin Jiufeng’s body was trembling. His spiritual consciousness was changing and transforming into millions of illusions. The Great Dao of Illusion trapped Lin Jiufeng inside, making him unable to extricate himself.

The seventh supreme powerhouse’s Great Dao was carefully memorized by Lin Jiufeng. He was unable to comprehend such a huge Great Dao in one day.

In fact, Lin Jiufeng had comprehended a lot of the Great Dao of the seven peerless powerhouses, but there were even more of these Great Dao that he hadn’t comprehended.

When seven days had pa.s.sed, Lin Jiufeng opened his eyes. The world appeared before his eyes.

The real world!

He was still lying on the bed, quiet and peaceful. His hands were on his lower abdomen, and his expression was calm.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t get up. He just laid on the bed and pondered.

“Seven supreme powerhouses. The first four appeared in front of me and told me their names and ident.i.ties. They chatted with me.”

“But the last three were so mysterious that they didn’t even show their faces. But why?”

Lin Jiufeng didn’t understand.

“Perhaps, it’s because of time.” After thinking about it, this was the only possibility.

They were all supreme powerhouses, it was definitely not because the cultivation bases of the last three were poor and they couldn’t come out.

The answer must be time.

Be it the Lord of Mortal Life, the King of Recovery, the King of G.o.ds, or the Invincible Immortal King, these four were all from eras that were close to Lin Jiufeng’s era.

Even if the gap was 20,000 years, it was still closer than the last three.

“Time is pa.s.sing, the banana leaves turned red, and the grapes turned black.”

“The last three supreme powerhouses imparted the Dao to me from a time that was very, very far away. That’s why they came and went in a hurry. They didn’t show their faces and only delivered the Great Dao to me.”

Lin Jiufeng muttered to himself. He felt that his guess was correct.
