Chapter 714: The Specialty of the Beginner Martial Era (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The aura of Dao that filled his body was very strong. It was far from what that white-haired old man could compare to. In another direction, there was a huge orc standing there. Its entire body was covered in black fur that was like steel needles. Its stomach hair was snow-white, and its claws were black and sharp. Its entire tall body was slender and well-proportioned, filled with strength.
As he breathed, he kept spitting out extremely cold breath. Under the subtle sound of freezing, a large amount of ice crystals appeared in the air in front of him. A pair of golden beast eyes stared at Xiao Shi.
This tall orc was also filled with the aura of the Dao. However, just like the white-haired old man, he had yet to become a Daolord and was still at the Sage realm.
The third person was a boy who looked to be only six or seven years old. His hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, his cheeks were red, and his skin was tender. A pair of large eyes that looked lively were filled with vicissitudes. Coupled with his boyish face, it looked very strange.
What caught Xiao Shi’s attention was the golden sun pattern that existed at the boy’s glabella. This was not the first time Xiao Shi had seen this pattern. Back then, he had seen the three patterns of sun, moon, and stars in the ruins that led to Youyue’s era. The pattern of “Sun” was exactly the same as the golden sun pattern on the boy’s glabella.
These three patterns corresponded to the three eras of the Tianwu Continent. Among them, he had already come into contact with the Youyue Era and the Star Era. He had never had the chance to come into contact with the era of “Sun”. And the golden sun pattern on the boy’s glabella clearly represented the era of “sun”.
The last person was a woman in a complicated black dress. Her black hair was like a waterfall, and half of her face was covered by a thin black checkered veil. Her eyes were like water, hiding melancholy. There were four corpses around her. These four corpses were all Sages! Moreover, the four Sage corpses were also filled with the aura of the Dao.
The moment he saw the four corpses, Xiao Shi recognized it at a glance. These four corpses were all corpses from the Martial Corpse Era.
This made him realize instantly. The few people who appeared in front of him were not from the Beginner Martial Era. They were like him, people from another era.
After all, after every era experienced a ten-thousand-year period, there was a certain probability that the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao would be born. Naturally, in the previous eras, the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao would also appear.
However, Xiao Shi did not expect that he could actually interact with the people of the previous era here. Although he did not know how many years had passed between the era these people were in and the current era, coming into contact with the people of the past here still made Xiao Shi feel ridiculous.
After all, the era these people were in had already been destroyed. However, these people still existed in the Beginner Martial Era.
“Could it be that they were all stuck here? They couldn’t find a way to leave the Beginner Martial Era, so they couldn’t leave?”
Through the Door of Reflection opened by the Beginner Martial Reflection Dao, they could only enter the Beginner Martial Era. If he wanted to leave the Beginner Martial Era, he could only think of a way himself. If he could not find a way to leave the Beginner Martial Era, he would be stuck there.
One thing was certain.
When these people entered the Beginner Martial Era, they should have been Sages like him. Their goal in coming to the Beginner Martial Era was also to control the Heavenly Dao.
However, among these people, only the silver-haired and silver-eyed man had reached the Daolord Realm. Although the others had the aura of the Dao on their bodies, they had yet to reach the Daolord Realm. They could only be considered a half-step Daolord Realm at most.
“If they’re really trapped in this Beginner Martial Era and can’t leave, it’s impossible for only one person to reach the Daolord Realm after so many years.”
Xiao Shi felt that this situation was very illogical. Even if it was extremely difficult to advance from a Sage to a Daolord, the specialness of the Beginner Martial Era would make it much easier for them to become Daolords compared to other eras.
Moreover, after such a long time, he wouldn’t just be a half-step Daolord. Other than that, from the emotions and states of these people, Xiao Shi did not feel that they were stuck in the Beginner Martial Era.
He suddenly thought of an important piece of information about the Beginner Martial Era that he had learned from the Record of the Upper Three Realms of Martial Arts. That was that the alternate space that the Beginner Martial Era was in could stop time.
“Could it be that before I entered the Beginner Martial Era, the entire Beginner Martial Era was in a pause in time?”
Xiao Shi suddenly had a guess. On careful thought, this did not make sense. If time had stopped before he entered the Beginner Martial Era, then how did these people become Daolords and half-step Daolords?
Moreover, from the way they called him a newcomer, it could be seen that they had already taken many actions in this Beginner Martial Era. Then, he could be sure that before he entered this place, it was definitely impossible for this place to be in a state of time pause.
Xiao Shi could not understand. He felt that some important information was missing. However, he had already realized that between the Beginner Martial Era and the other eras of the Tianwu Continent, it was very likely that the flow of time was unequal.
What he was more worried about now was that the flow of time here would be faster than the Tianwu Continent. For example, if he stayed here for a day, a year would pass in the Tianwu Continent! If it was this kind of time flow, it would be even harder for him to reach the ninth realm of the Martial Dao faster than the three demigod Heavenly Kings.
These people from the past era looked at Xiao Shi with surprise and seriousness. Especially the white-haired old man who had attacked Xiao Shi just now. One had to know that they had only become half-step Daolords from Sages after coming to the Beginner Martial Era.
However, this fellow who had just arrived could actually resist him! And he did not sense any Dao aura from the other party. In other words, this person was not a half-step Daolord. But he possessed combat strength comparable to a half-step Daolord.
This shocked them.
“Kid, which era are you from?” Among everyone, there was a silver-haired and silver-eyed person. He was also the only person who had reached the Daolord Realm here and asked very curiously.
“The Great Wu Era.” Xiao Shi did not hide it.
“The Great Wu Era?”
Everyone was curious when they heard that. They had never heard of such an era. After all, they were all ancient people from the previous era, so it was naturally impossible for them to know that this era came from the future.
“Are all the Sages of your era as powerful as you?” The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord continued to ask. The others had the same question in their hearts.
Xiao Shi’s situation had never happened in their era. This also made them very curious about the Great Wu Era Xiao Shi was in. “I can answer your question, but you have to tell me how long you’ve been in the Beginner Martial Era.” Xiao Shi directly said the question in his heart.
The silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord smiled and agreed readily. “No problem. Even if 1 don’t tell you, you’ll find out soon enough. Actually, everyone here has the same question as you when we first came to the Beginner Martial Era.
“I’m sure you can see that none of us are from the same era. Some of us are separated by tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even millions of years. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for us to stay in the Beginner Martial Era for so many years.
“The reason why you and I can be in the Beginner Martial Era is completely because the Beginner Martial Era will constantly reset!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the word “reset” immediately set off a huge wave in Xiao Shi’s mind!
