At this moment
Shen Lian's divine sense swept inch by inch across the realm sea
Finally he could feel a faint trace left deep within the boundary sea the trace of a strange spiritual sense that had swept through ages ago
This trace belonged to an unfamiliar spiritual sense from the other side of the world sea left when it appeared hundreds of years earlier
It was so faint that it was almost imperceptible
If not for Shen Lian's cultivation base advancing once again and him personally arriving at Jiehai he might never have noticed it
Looking back the years
Shen Lian uttered four words
He had used the great magical power to reverse time itself
Boom
In an instant the entire Jiehai before Shen Lian underwent an earthshaking change
The surging tides that once beat forward suddenly reversed as if a rewind button had been pressed
Everything even the winds rushing towards Shen Lian recoiled backwards at extreme speed
And that once faint spiritual sense gradually became clearer
Ten years
Twenty years
Thirty years
Eighty years
A hundred years
Two hundred years
Just like that the entire Jiehai rewound back three hundred years
Shen Lian's gaze suddenly froze as he finally caught the trace of divine thought emanating from the other side of the boundary sea
Pause
Shen Lian uttered two words
Bang
The rewinding scene of Jiehai came to an abrupt halt
In the next instant
Shen Lian's divine sense transformed into a sharp spike and stabbed fiercely toward that unfamiliar spiritual sense
Boom
Shen Lian stepped back slightly his blood surging within him
Hmph it really does have some ability
A cold light flashed in Shen Lian's eyes as his larger divine sense condensed into a second spike and continued to pierce towards the alien spiritual sense
The master of this strange divine thought dared to contend against him across time and space
Puff
The next moment
A low roar echoed from the strange spiritual mind before it collapsed inch by inch and disintegrated
At the same time
At the other end of the world sea
In a barren dark world
An incomparably massive terrifying figure suddenly opened its mouth and spat out blood
Lord Immortal Emperor
In an instant the supreme giants around him cried out
The massive figure waved his hand indicating it was nothing serious
Then he turned his gaze toward Jiehai
On the other side of the world someone is defying the flow of time and fighting me across the years
Hearing this
The supreme giants beside him all revealed shocked expressions their eyes filled with disbelief
There are still beings capable of stepping upon the river of time crossing endless time and space and fighting against an Immortal Emperor
The man across Jiehai is my enemy
The enormous terrifying figure's planet sized eyes gradually filled with solemnity
What he did not say was
In the clash just now he had lost
If he had not swiftly severed the spiritual sense he had projected to explore Jiehai the enemy might have followed it directly into his world
The assault from the opposite side of Jiehai has eased a little I must confer with the other Immortal Emperors
The terrifying figure said in a deep voice
The cosmic world boundary sea
Lord Liandi are you alright
Rong Sen looked at Shen Lian and asked worriedly
He had clearly seen Shen Lian's body sway slightly just now
It's fine
Shen Lian's expression remained calm as he waved his hand
The brief encounter had made him acutely aware
The opponent across the sea was extremely powerful
Although inferior to him it was far above the Quasi Emperor level
Probably comparable to Shen Lian's own combat strength during his time as a Quasi Emperor
Rong Sen
Shen Lian called
The minister is here
Rong Sen shuddered and hurried forward
Shen Lian looked at him and said
This time you discovered the foreign spiritual sense in Jiehai this merit is noted Today I shall absolve you from your atonement
Hearing this
Rong Sen was momentarily stunned before his face filled with overwhelming joy
Criminal Rong Sen thanks Your Majesty
It was true
During his years of guarding the frontier he had not suffered much hardship
Shen Lian's governance was quite relaxed even allowing him to relocate his Dao companion his sect and his disciples
Whenever something important occurred he could freely return to the main world
And this so called something was entirely determined by his own words
If he claimed an urgent matter none dared stop or question him
Yet
He was still burdened with the title of a scapegoat which had been a thorn in his heart
Now Shen Lian had pulled out that thorn for him
He had waited three thousand years for this moment
Shen Lian smiled and said
No need to be so excited Pack your things and return with me to Daluo Sacred Mountain
Alright
Rong Sen nodded excitedly turned around ready to deliver the good news to his wife children and disciples
Surely they would be overjoyed to know they could finally return to the world
However
After taking two steps he suddenly stopped as if recalling something then turned back his smiling face growing serious
Your Majesty if I leave there will be no one to guard this boundary
Minister Rong Sen dares to beg Your Majesty to allow me to remain guarding this boundary for another three thousand years and let my wife son and disciples return freely
He took a deep breath and said
Oh
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes
Are you sure Think carefully You have no burden to bear You can return freely I can send others to guard this realm
Your Majesty if others guard it I will not be at ease
Rong Sen shook his head then grinned
Truthfully after so many years here I have become used to it Listening to the waves of Jiehai every day brings me peace
If I truly return I might not adjust to the absence of the sound of waves
Hearing this
Shen Lian pondered for a moment then gave Rong Sen a deep look
Alright you and I are not ones for hypocrisy
Since you insist I will respect your choice
This matter
I approve
