Past Body, Present Body, Future Body!
Chapter 46 Past Body, Present Body, Future Body!
On Jin'ao Island, in Biyou Palace.
Chen Qing entered the River of Time, causing it to become restless. Huge waves began to appear on the originally calm surface, shattering the tranquility as soon as Chen Qing entered the River of Time.
At this moment, within the long river of time, endless power surged towards Chen Qing, the waves rising high as if to engulf him.
Chen Qing was in the midst of the River of Time, and a barrier appeared around him, directly shielding him from the power of the River of Time and preventing it from getting close to him.
This barrier was formed by the immortal spiritual light, and it was formed by his immortal body. With this barrier in place, he had no need to worry about the power of the River of Time harming him.
At this moment, he prepared to first condense his past self. To condense his past self, he needed to find the past years in the long river of time and begin to condense his past self in the endless past years.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing began to carefully sense the power within the long river of time.
In the long river of time, there are the forces of the past, present, and future. These three forces intersect, and it is difficult to condense them without careful understanding.
At this moment, he was in that state, feeling the power of the past years with his own strength.
Chen Qing quietly felt and carefully comprehended the power of the past years.
The Tongtian Sect Leader was observing everything, and at this moment, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes as he watched.
He was puzzled; his disciple had been in the river of time for a while now, so what was he doing?
In the long river of time, there is only the power of time. What is he cultivating in that long river of time?
The Tongtian Sect Leader was puzzled and just watched quietly.
At this moment, Chen Qing had no idea that he was being watched by his own teacher, the Tongtian Sect Leader. However, even if his teacher knew, it wouldn't matter, since he was his teacher and not an outsider.
Chen Qing, who was in the midst of the long river of time, frowned, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
He couldn't comprehend the power of time at all, not even a little bit, which puzzled him greatly, and his face was full of confusion.
He looked around at the river and confirmed that it was indeed the River of Time, but why couldn't he feel the power of the River of Time?
Chen Qing was puzzled. Looking around, he realized that he was now in the very middle of the River of Time, yet he could not comprehend its power. Why was that?
Chen Qing looked at his hands with some confusion. If he hadn't summoned this River of Time himself, he would have thought it was fake.
He looked at the endless river of time, at the towering waves, at its boundless power, and confirmed that it was indeed the river of time.
Chen Qing looked down, and when he saw the barrier formed by his own immortal spiritual light, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he began to think.
"Could it be because of the barrier formed by the immortal aura? After all, it's normal that he can't comprehend the power of the River of Time with the barrier of the immortal aura in place."
"The barrier of immortal aura isolates everything, keeping the power of time out and preventing it from invading itself."
Thinking of this, Chen Qing immediately dispelled the barrier formed by the immortal spiritual light, absorbed the immortal spiritual light into his physical body, and personally came into contact with the river of time.
He felt the breath of time, felt its power, and his furrowed brows relaxed.
At this moment, he was certain that the reason he could not comprehend the power of the River of Time was indeed due to the barrier formed by the immortal spiritual light.
At this moment, without the barrier of immortal spiritual light, he came into direct contact with the river of time and truly felt its aura and its power.
At this moment, a look of relief appeared in his eyes. Now that he had sensed the power of the river of time, would his next experience of comprehending the power of time be different from before?
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, but closed his eyes and began to carefully comprehend and understand the power of time, comprehending the past years in the long river of time, and searching for the power of the past years.
Once he comprehends the past and grasps its true meaning, he can directly condense his past self.
Chen Qing closed his eyes slightly, quietly contemplating and comprehending the power of the past years.
At the preaching platform, the Tongtian Sect Leader was puzzled when he saw Chen Qing dispel the barrier formed by the immortal spiritual light.
The Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't understand why Chen Qing would voluntarily dispel the barrier of immortal spiritual light. Although his physical strength had already entered the immortal realm and he was no longer afraid of the power of the river of time, it was still good to have the barrier of immortal spiritual light.
Why did they disperse on their own initiative at this point?
The Tongtian Sect Leader watched silently, observing Chen Qing's actions with great confusion.
At this moment, Chen Qing was quietly experiencing and comprehending the power of time as he connected with the river of time.
Countless waves crashed against his body, and the endless river of time flowed over him, never stopping for him, nor ceasing because of his existence.
As Chen Qing reflected on the long river of time, he gradually came to understand a truth.
Time will not stop for anyone, nor will it pause for anyone.
Time only flows on, and the power of time in the present is the power of time in the past, simply because it is constantly moving forward and constantly flowing away.
After Chen Qing understood this, a light shone in his eyes.
He looked at the endless river of time, at the flowing water, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
At that moment, he understood what the past years were and what the power of the past years was.
At this moment, he was preparing to condense his past self, and he believed that he could definitely condense his past self.
Chen Qing no longer hesitated, but began to circulate the endless starry river power within his body, preparing to condense his past self.
An immense pressure arose within Chen Qing's body, causing the cosmic galaxy to circulate and endless stellar power to burst forth from his body, appearing in the long river of time and causing the river of time to accelerate.
In the long river of time, constant tremors occurred, and the endless river water began to surge high because Chen Qing's star power was shaken and surged high, before crashing down hard in the direction where Chen Qing was.
At this moment, the river of time seemed to be controlled by someone, with endless waters constantly converging upwards, and a huge whirlpool appeared, reaching Chen Qing in an instant.
Chen Qing remained unmoved, unaffected by the endless waves crashing against him or the whirlpool spinning beneath his feet.
Boundless starlight power emanated from his body, flowing into the river of time, and then slowly gathered together.
The Tongtian Sect Leader frowned as he watched this scene. He hadn't expected his disciple to have such a powerful project, daring to unleash his magic power directly within the River of Time, causing countless changes to occur.
But then he thought that his disciple had already entered the realm of physical immortality, so there was no need to worry about these things. Even the biggest waves would not damage his body, since he was already in a state of physical immortality.
Looking at the River of Time, the Master of the Heavens assumed that it was the River of Time that the Great Luo Golden Immortal had entered, containing only the true spirits of all living beings, and there was no need to worry about it at all.
He wanted to see what his disciple was planning to do. If he remembered correctly, his disciple had already merged with his true spirit when he was at the Earth Immortal realm, and his true spirit was no longer in the river of time.
But at this time, his own disciple is still in the long river of time. Could it be that he is cultivating some kind of supernatural power?
The Master of the Heavens looked at Chen Qing with a puzzled expression, no longer speculating, but quietly observing.
At this moment, the cosmic galaxy within Chen Qing's body was constantly rotating, and endless galactic power was continuously permeating the long river of time.
Following his own understanding, Chen Qing began to spread endless star power throughout the river of time. When he felt it was about time, he began to use his supernatural powers to condense his past self.
As he unleashed his supernatural powers, the already turbulent river of time surged even more violently.
Within the long river of time, a colossal wave surged forth, followed by various strange phenomena that converged upon Chen Qing.
Chen Qing paid no attention to any of these things, but focused all his attention on condensing his past self. No matter what kind of strange phenomenon it was, it would not leave any marks or scars on him.
He simply watched all of this quietly, focusing all his energy on gathering his past self.
As time passed, a towering figure appeared in the long river of time. This figure was similar to Chen Qing, but if viewed from a distance, he looked more like Chen Qing in his youth, with a touch of naivety.
The moment this figure appeared, the river of time ceased to flow, and everything returned to calm.
Chen Qing looked at the figure and his eyes lit up. He knew in his heart that this was his past self.
At this moment, Chen Qing looked at his past self appear and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Oh!"
"After going through countless hardships, I have finally managed to recreate my past self."
Chen Qing murmured softly, gazing at the figure from the past, his eyes full of smiles and his face beaming.
The formation of the past body signifies that he has already succeeded. Now that the past body has been formed, how far away can the present body and the future body be?
At the preaching platform, when that figure appeared, the Tongtian Sect Leader was quite surprised. He did not expect that his disciple was actually condensing his past self.
At this moment, a ripple appeared in his heart, and his past self materialized, which meant that his disciple had gone very far in the cultivation of the Great Dao, far surpassing ordinary great supernatural beings.
It should be noted that even the Tongtian Sect Master, a saint, only comprehended his past, present, and future bodies after becoming a saint, but he did not attempt to condense them.
In the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Master, the past body, present body, and future body could not bring him much help, so he did not bother to condense them at all.
He cultivates the method of severing the three corpses, cutting off his own good corpse, evil corpse, and self-corpse, thus standing even more firmly on the path of cultivation.
The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at the River of Time and now understood that it was a river of time within endless space and time, containing the power of the past, present, and future. Even at his current level, he had to be extremely careful when entering the River of Time.
Although it is said that saints are immortal, that means they are immortal within this world. If they leave this world, they will also die.
Their primordial spirits are entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, and with the protection of the Heavenly Dao, they can indeed reach the state of immortality. However, if they are separated from the protection of the Heavenly Dao, it will be very difficult for them to be resurrected after they die.
For them to be resurrected, the Heavenly Dao would need to consume a huge amount of its own essence to bring them back to life.
At this moment, he looked at Chen Qing, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Only at this moment did he realize how dangerous the long river of time Chen Qing was in was.
At this moment, Tongtian Jiaozhu, recalling the strange phenomena from before, couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
If their disciple had not condensed immortal spiritual light and reached the realm of immortality in his physical body, protected by the immortal spiritual light, he would probably have already perished under that boundless power.
The Tongtian Sect Leader stared silently at Chen Qing, a look of helplessness in his eyes.
At this moment, he realized that his disciple had brought him so much. He decided that he should really pay close attention to his disciple's cultivation in the future, because he might gain something from it and help him take another step on the path of cultivation.
After all, he discovered that supreme Dharma form on his own disciple, and now he only needs to spend some time to condense that supreme Dharma form.
Chen Qing, however, was unaware of all this. At this moment, he was still excited as he looked at his future self.
After a long while, he calmed himself down, let out a long breath, and looked at his past self with a calm expression.
The past self also looked at Chen Qing. After the two of them solidified for a while, the past self jumped out of the River of Time and then stepped into the endless spacetime dimension.
Chen Qing watched as his past self entered the dimension of time and space, his eyes utterly calm. He withdrew his gaze and looked towards the long river of time, beginning to whisper softly.
"Since the past body has already been formed, let's go all out and form the present body and the future body as well."
Chen Qing's eyes shimmered with light, and he had already condensed his past self. Now, he was preparing to directly condense his present self and future self.
Once he has condensed his present and future selves, he can stop his cultivation and advance to a higher level. As for creating infinite dust and the Huazang Era, those can wait until later.
After making his decision, Chen Qing glanced at the Tongtian Sect Leader at the lecture platform and saw that he was still explaining the Great Dao. He then prepared to begin his cultivation again, condensing his present and future bodies.
In Chen Qing's view, the Tongtian Sect Leader merged with his avatar and explained the Great Dao. When Chen Qing began to cultivate, he separated his avatar and observed Chen Qing's cultivation.
In the long river of time, Chen Qing, having just condensed his past self, closed his eyes once again to comprehend and understand the true meaning of the present.
Time slipped by unnoticed, and a century passed before Chen Qing gained this insight.
On this day, he opened his eyes and calmly looked at the long river of time. Endless star power appeared within him and flowed towards the river of time.
The river of time began to ripple again, but now that he had the experience of condensing his past self, how could he allow the river of time to attack him again!
Chen Qing looked at the long river of time, then whispered twice.
"Now, solidify."
Chen Qing uttered a soft voice, and endless starlight surged forth, the river of time churned and countless streams surged.
A towering figure appeared, and this figure was exactly the same as Chen Qing now. It could be said that if Chen Qing were no longer here, he would be Chen Qing.
Chen Qing looked at his present self, suppressing his excitement. At this moment, he wanted to laugh out loud, but he knew he couldn't. He still needed to condense his future self.
Chen Qing solidified his current form, and the current form solidified Chen Qing. The two simply stared at each other silently for a few moments.
With a leap, he stepped out of the river of time and into the dimension of spacetime.
Neither of them spoke, and he remained calm, even though he was very happy inside, his face remained perfectly composed.
The Tongtian Sect Leader smiled and nodded as he watched Chen Qing materialize before him.
Chen Qing, having absorbed the weight of time, took a deep breath of the atmosphere and ceased waiting, beginning to continue condensing his future self.
At this moment, he closed his eyes and began to comprehend the power of future years.
The future is unpredictable, leaving no trace, unpredictable, and elusive.
He contemplated the years to come, and this contemplation spanned three hundred years.
Over the course of three hundred years, he carefully comprehended everything. Even though he had already entered the Dao of Laws and possessed extremely strong cultivation, it still took him three hundred years to comprehend the true meaning of the future years.
He opened his eyes, looked out at the endless river of time, and whispered softly.
"The future is unpredictable, everything is still uncertain, but I have already grasped the true meaning of the future—my future self. If I don't act now, when will I ever?"
After he finished speaking, the power of the galaxy within him flowed towards the river of time.
The boundless power of the galaxy flowed towards the river of time, beginning to spread.
At this moment, he was already preparing to condense his future self.
Countless strange phenomena have appeared in the long river of time. The future is unpredictable, but at this moment, Chen Qing is preparing to condense his future self.
Countless strange phenomena attacked Chen Qing, but he watched quietly without making a move.
