Chapter 2230 A Thought That Lasts 100 Years

“The Time Cave is also the most precious treasure I left behind. The other places only have some Saint Stones and Thousand Inscriptions Saint Weapons.” That aged voice bluntly told Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing that the Time Cave was his most precious legacy.

Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing’s eyes shifted to the stone platform in unison.

A dense array of patterns were carved around the stone platform and above it. It emitted an ancient aura.

According to the voice, one would be able to unlock the Time Cave with just a thought after sitting on the stone platform. Moreover, one would have the chance to comprehend a Divine Ability to its highest level if one devoted one’s heart and soul into cultivating.

Apparently, a thought could last for a decade or even several decades!

If my Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, can be comprehended to the highest level through the Time Cave, not only would my strength greatly increase, but I can even help others to improve their Innate Spiritual Roots!’ Duan Ling Tian’s breath quickened when he thought about this. If he could help others to improve their Innate Spiritual Roots, he would be able to raise many geniuses with violet Innate Spiritual Roots.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes shone brightly as he thought about this and looked at the stone platform like a hunter looking at its prey.

Ah, I seem to have forgotten about something!’ Duan Ling Tian felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He just remembered he was not alone. Huang Wen Jing from the Wandering Saint Palace was also here.

Although Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing had made a promise beforehand that he would have the first pick of the treasures, there was only one treasure now. How were they going to divide this treasure?

Duan Ling Tian could not help but look at Huang Wen Jing.

“Just go,” Huang Wen Jing said without any hesitation when she saw Duan Ling Tian looking at her, “If you didn’t save me earlier, I wouldn’t even be here.”

Duan Ling Tian did not expect Huang Wen Jing would give up the Time Cave to him so easily. Moreover, she knew what benefits the Time Cave could give them, but she gave it to him. He was baffled, but he felt touched at the same time.

“I was also saving myself by saving you. If you’d died, I wouldn’t have been able to fend off the attacks from the monsters on my own. I only saved you to protect myself,” Duan Ling Tian told Huang Wen Jing. He did not wait for her to reply as he said again, “However, this Time Cave is very important to me, so I won’t reject your kind intention. I’ll owe you a favor if I successfully reap the benefit from this Time Cave!”

Duan Ling Tian had thought about how to repay this favor. If he successfully cultivated his Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, to the highest stage with the help of the Time Cave, he would return the favor to Huang Wen Jing by improving her Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one. Naturally, he did not verbalize his intention since he was uncertain if the Time Cave would be able to raise his Divine Ability to its highest level.

“There’s no need for that.” Huang Wen Jing did not know what Duan Ling Tian meant by ‘favor’ so she politely declined with a shake of her head. If she knew about his intention, there was no way she would reject him.

It seemed as though Duan Ling Tian did not hear her reply as he walked toward the stone platform.

The atmosphere turned heavy immediately.

“Go! I’ll keep a lookout for you,” Huang Wen Jing told him.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian had already reached the stone platform. Upon hearing her words, his footsteps came to a halt as he turned around to look at her. He said with a sullen expression, “I’m a man of my words. I always keep my words!” Without waiting for Huang Wen Jing’s reply, he directly sat on the stone platform.

After sitting cross-legged, Duan Ling Tian shut his eyes. He thought to himself, ‘I wonder how many years I’ll get when I activate the Time Cave… If my thought can last several decades, who knows maybe I’ll be able to raise my Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, to the highest level! At that time, my strength would increase and I can hd^ my parents, Little Fei’er, and the others to improve their Innate Spiritual Roots!’

Although Duan Ling Tian would have to devour another person’s Innate Spiritual Root to improve his or another person’s Innate Spiritual Root, he did not feel any pressure at all. After all, there were many criminals running wild in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. There would be no shortage of Innate Spiritual Roots for him to devour. There was no need for him to worry about this matter at all.

Huang Wen Jing stood at the side and watched Duan Ling Tian who was sitting on the stone platform. She stared at her surroundings warily, not a single movement could escape her notice.

At the same time, Duan Ling Tian extended his Divine Consciousness in an attempt to activate the Time Cave. After extending his Divine Consciousness, it did not feel like he was sitting on a mere stone platform. Instead, it felt as though he was sitting on an extremely vast altar that was decorated with many complicated patterns.

These patterns might not stand out at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one could see that these patterns were made from all kinds of Saint Inscriptions. However, since they were overlapping each other, he did not notice it at first glance.

“I should be able to activate the Time Cave with just a thought.” When Duan Ling Tian recalled the ancient voice’s words, he used his Divine Consciousness to sense the surroundings. In the end, he discovered a strange aura. On top of that, he discovered a strange power in that aura. The power gave him a profound feeling.

“I should be able to unlock the Time Cave by using my Divine Consciousness!” Duan Ling Tian began to guess.

Let’s just give it a try!’ As soon as Duan Ling Tian thought about it, he forcefully extended his Divine Consciousness into the strange power. At the same time, he began to focus his thoughts on his Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. Since he was immersed in focusing on his Divine Ability, he had lost awareness of his surroundings. Initially, it was easy for him to comprehend the Divine Ability, but it gradually became more and more difficult. In the end, he reached a bottleneck. However, he ignored it and continued to comprehend it. He only focused on comprehending the Divine Ability to its highest level. This is his highest priority.

At this time, Duan Ling Tian had forgotten about the time.

Meanwhile, the group of people outside the stone forest finally regained his senses. They began to enter the stone forest one after another. Based on this, one could see it had not been too long since Duan Ling Tian and Huang Wen Jing had entered the Time Cave.

“I can’t believe there’s actually such a young powerhouse in our Human-Devil clan! Even Huang Wen Jing, the number one genius among the younger generation in the Wandering Saint Palace, is no match for him!”

“Who knows, maybe he’s an old monster who’s wearing the skin of a young man!”

“That’s possible!”

The group of people was still unaware that the ruin was not left behind by a Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master, but a quasi Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master. This quasi Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master was also an Eminent Celestial!

As the group of people made their way to the ruin left behind by the quasi Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master who was also an Eminent Celestial, three figures flew swiftly across the sky from the north where the Human-Devil Saint City was located.

These three figures belonged to a middle-aged man, an old man, and an old woman.

As they flew in the sky, their eyes shone with hatred.

In the ruin left behind by a quasi Celestial-grade Saint Inscription Master who was also an Eminent Celestial. In the Time Cave.

Duan Ling Tian was still sitting on the stone platform, but very soon, his entire person and the stone platform were enveloped by a layer of light and disappeared from sight.

In just a blink of an eye, Duan Ling Tian along with the stone platform once again appeared before Huang Wen Jing’s eyes.

When Duan Ling Tian’s figure appeared again, he opened his eyes and laughed heartily. It seemed as though he had lost control of himself. This was because he had successfully comprehended his Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, to the highest level.

Duan Ling Tian’s one thought had lasted 100 years in the Time Cave!
