Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 2316: Sacred Heaven Calendar, Part One

Meanwhile, the meeting hall at the temporary base of the Shidao Tribe...

"You might think Ye Zhaoxian is the successor of the Stone of Time and Space, but that isn't really the case. Ye Zhaoxian is only able to use the Stone of Time and Space by coincidence. The Stone of Time and Space is just an artifact refined by the Rules of Time and Space that contains a little essence of Time and Space."

"The Rules of Time and Space are one of the highest rules of the Primary Upper Realm. It's comparable to the Rules of Fate and Rules of Reincarnation. In some ways, the Rules of Time and Space include them."

"Its mysteries are indescribable with words. No one can truly comprehend them," Zhou Xundao and Jiaye nodded in agreement.

"Around ten thousand years ago, a Ruler of Dao found an ancient manual in the Blue Heavens by coincidence. It records the secrets of Time and Space. Several formidable factions worked together to comprehend the secrets and invented an altar that can bring our will back to the ancient era."

"However, not everyone can use the altar to go back to the ancient era. First, activating the altar requires a huge amount of Stones of Space and Time. It's rare to find them nowadays. The remaining Stones of Space and Time our tribe has can only send four people to the past."

"Second, once your will goes back to the ancient era, your flesh will hibernate. It will need the support of many valuable resources, or it will die. In theory, Masters of Dao can use the altar, but it's better if you are a Ruler of Dao as it might contain some risks."

Xiang Yuan explained. He no longer looked like a dying old man.

"Cultivator Qin Nan, to be honest with you, there are great risks of using the altar. Until now, seven of our Rulers of Dao have used it, but only two have returned. Their cultivation also dropped to the Master Realm."

"Four Rulers of Dao of the Mumen Sect have used it, but their success rate is higher than us. Three of them have returned. A Ruler of Dao in the early stage has achieved the peak Ruler Realm after returning from the ancient era. He has also mastered an extraordinary path of cultivation, making him stronger than most peak Rulers of Dao."

"We estimate the chance of success to be around thirty percent."

The expressions of Heaven Highness Linghuang and the others sank.

Thirty percent was too low!

Qin Nan did not seem bothered. He asked curiously, "Why did their cultivation decline?"

Xiang Yuan drank a sip of tea and said, "There are two main reasons. First, it's your will that goes back to the ancient era. You will be possessing someone else who might be a Human Immortal or a Ruler of Dao. There's no guarantee."

"Second, we can only send your will back to between nine hundred years and two thousand nine hundred years of the Sacred Heaven Calendar. We can't pinpoint a specific date."

"Cang, Zhou Di, Huangfu Jue, and Ye Zhaoxian have risen in the year one thousand nine hundred and ninety-six of the Sacred Heaven Calendar, the year they achieved the Ruler Realm and started to make a name for themselves. They became Supreme Highnesses in the year two thousand and two hundred."

Qin Nan understood where he was coming from. action

The altar was still unstable, so they had no way of telling which year they would end up in.

It was fine if they were sent before the year one thousand nine hundred and ninety-six of the Sacred Heaven Calendar, as there are big shots other than the four Supreme Highnesses.

However, they would have tough luck if they ended up after the year two thousand and two hundred.

The four Supreme Highnesses were already around in the Primary Upper Realm, thus the situation had already been decided.

Besides, the shocking battle that involved the entire Primary Upper Realm would be around the corner too!

"Is this the reason you are asking me for help?" Qin Nan asked.

"Exactly," Xiang Yuan nodded and said, "Cultivator Qin Nan, through our experiments, we learn that cultivators whose past lives are from the ancient era will make the altar more stable and increase the success rate."

"Therefore, when your identity as Zhou Xiao's reincarnation was revealed, we tried to meet you."

"We are even more desperate when we learned you are the reincarnation of Zhou Di and Huangfu Jue."

Xuan Yuan said after a brief pause, "We have a bold speculation that if the person's past life was a Heaven Highness during the ancient era, we might be able to specify the time!"

Everyone immediately realized the gist of the plan.

The time was too important!

It was in their best interest to avoid being sent too early or too late back to the ancient era. They also had to avoid the dangerous period in between.

Heaven Highness Linghuang asked, "It's just a speculation?"

Xiang Yuan said with a wry smile, "I must be honest with you that it's indeed just our speculation. We never had a chance to try it."

"However, it should be the case based on our observation."

"Besides, Cultivator Qin Nan is the reincarnation of two Supreme Highnesses, thus it will increase the success rate to at least sixty percent. He can also set the exact time."

Qin Nan's eyes glittered, "May I ask, how am I going to come back, and how long will it take?"

Xiang Yuan said, "Based on our experience, you will remain in the ancient era for fifty to a hundred years. The Rules of Time and Space will then bring you back to the current time."

"In addition to it, if you spent fifty years in the ancient era, only two years will pass once you came back. A hundred years is equivalent to four years. It's like having a dream about going back in time."

Princess Miao Miao could not help but ask, "Senior, does that mean we can solve our problem by going back to the time when Cang, Ye Zhaoxian, and the others are only Masters of Dao to kill them?"

Progenitor Mingchu laughed and said, "Miao Miao, that's impossible. You can't change the things that happened."

Xiang Yuan said with a smile, "Indeed, time is like a river that only flows forward. You can go back to one of its segments, but you won't be able to sever or change the direction it flows."

"It's something we have learned after our many attempts."

"The people and incidents during the ancient era can be classified into three levels. Level one is the highest, while level three is the lowest."
