Qin Chen immediately activated his soul power, trying to touch the source of time.
A breath that connected directly to the Great Dao surged into Qin Chen's soul in an instant. At that moment, Qin Chen's body exuded the aura of the Great Dao, almost transforming into the Dao within heaven and earth.
The source of time was too powerful; it even represented the force of the Heavenly Dao. If someone with weak willpower came into contact with it, they could be instantly assimilated by its power, becoming a part of the world and a part of the laws of time.
Fortunately, Qin Chen reacted quickly, which prevented him from directly transforming into the Dao. He urged his soul power, attempting to merge with the source of time.
An air of decay and desolation emanated, and Qin Chen was surrounded by the aura of time. The power of years flowed around him, as if he had become a messenger of time.
"Indeed, it works."
The big black cat was overjoyed. The source of time was too strong; even a Holy Realm expert from the heavenly realm would be caught in the rules of time and die instantly upon recklessly making contact. But Qin Chen did not suffer such a fate; instead, he began to comprehend the rules of time, indicating that he was indeed the child of the plane recognized by this world.
Only in this way could the source of time give Qin Chen the opportunity to attempt.
Of course, this did not mean that Qin Chen would definitely be able to absorb the source of time. If he failed to comprehend the rules of time and could not pass the assessment of the source of time, he would also perish under the force of time; no one could save him, not even the big black cat.
"Qin Chen, you must succeed! If you do, then..." The big black cat was filled with excitement, looking at Qin Chen with anticipation.
Meanwhile, in the Qiankun Creation Jade Plate, Lao Yuan and You Qianxue were also anxiously watching Qin Chen, continuously asking the big black cat. This was their first encounter with the source of time, leaving them in awe and hoping that Qin Chen could absorb it.
However, what worried everyone was that although Qin Chen was surrounded by the rules of time, the source of time did not intend to merge with his body.
Moreover, this source of time seemed to exude a dying feeling, as if it had suffered serious injuries.
"This source of time seems to be damaged?"
Lao Yuan furrowed his brows.
"Indeed, it is damaged," the big black cat nodded.
What?
You Qianxue and the others immediately looked over anxiously.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. The Holy Master of the heavenly realm has been suppressing it with a broken blade all along. Even the source of time, after enduring such long suppression, will become incredibly weak. This is still due to the strength of the source of time; if it were anything else, it would have long perished."
"The source is different from others. Even if damaged, as long as it is nourished slowly, it will eventually recover. Especially the source of time; as long as there is enough time, it can repair itself."
The big black cat was not surprised at all.
It only cared whether Qin Chen could absorb the source of time.
At this moment, Qin Chen was fully focused on comprehending the rules of time, trying to make contact with the source of time. As long as he could gain the source of time's recognition, he would understand the rules of time and, through this, find the location of the source of heaven and earth.
However, no matter how Qin Chen tried to touch the source of time, it remained indifferent to him.
Although Qin Chen was the child of the plane and had not been obliterated by the source of time, the source also showed no intention of submitting to Qin Chen.
Qin Chen tried various methods, activating the Immortal Sacred Body and the Nine Stars Divine Emperor Technique, running different cultivation methods in an attempt to attract the source of time's attention, but the source of time remained lazy.
Although it stirred slightly when Qin Chen activated his techniques, it merely moved a bit and did not truly accept Qin Chen, even when Qin Chen activated the Heavenly Soul Forbidden Technique.
