Chapter 5670

With every step Chen Xuan took, about a month of time slipped away. He could not even be sure whether the flow of time in this river was synchronized with the outside world. If it was, then continuing to walk forward meant that thousands or tens of thousands of years might pass outside. Still, an arrow drawn cannot be called back; Chen Xuan concluded that the time within this river was entirely independent—merely a part of the restriction—so he pressed onward with unwavering determination. After taking roughly ten thousand steps, more than a millennium had passed in the River of Time, yet Chen Xuan felt as though he had only walked for about two hours. Still, the river remained endless, with no clue as to where it actually led. Chen Xuan had no choice but to take a step back and try walking in reverse, only to discover that no matter where he stood, moving against the current required consuming ten times the amount of Buddhist power.
