What sort of feeling was that? In the faraway place, who were the man and woman?

Old Tang said, “Alright, there’s no need to ponder too much on that right now. You’ve successfully cultivated your Thousand Accusing Fingers. I should now teach you the second spear technique.”

“Huh?” Tang Wulin’s eyes glowed. “Second technique? What’s that?”

It could be said that it was the Thousand Accusing Fingers that brought him to cross the threshold of learning spear technique. It was precisely due to the spear technique that he was able to skillfully use his Golden Dragon Spear, and later created the two skills of King’s Path and Final Stake.

The more he cultivated, the more he could feel the power of Thousand Accusing Fingers but there was still a second technique? How powerful would the second spear technique be? Tang Wulin’s heart was filled with anticipation.

Radiance flashed in Old Tang’s hand as he conjured a spear similar to the Golden Dragon Spear. He said in a deep voice, “Thousand Accusing Fingers is only the foundation of spear technique. It allows you to skillfully utilize it. On the other hand, the true spear technique is the perfect combination of your essence, energy, spirit, and spear. The so-called spear’s consciousness, Spearsoul, and Spearspirit are a precise portrayal of a perfect combination. You’ll not only need to master these three skills but also combine them perfectly in order to truly achieve the peak of spear technique. You must fuse your emotions, thoughts and everything else into the spear technique. The spear technique that is produced as such is akin to a domain. That is the true spear.”

“You were capable of creating the King’s Path and Final Stake on your own through Thousand Accusing fingers. Your two original spear techniques are the result of combining your own thoughts. You’ve found your spear’s preliminary path and that’s very good. This is also acting as a foundation to me being able to continue teaching you the spear techniques. On the other hand, the next spear technique that I’m about to teach you will take a very long time to comprehend. You can only complete it by cultivating painstakingly. Perhaps, you can only inherit it for real by comprehending it. Take notice of your feelings while you’re doing so.”

Old Tang slowly raised the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand while speaking and his entire aura was soon undergoing a transformation.

Old Tang seemed to have turned illusionary under Tang Wulin’s gaze. The Golden Dragon Spear in his hand seemed to have vanished at the moment. An eerie and illusionary feeling radiated soon after.

The bizarre gaudy that Tang Wulin felt earlier when he touched the Boundless Universe crystal appeared once again. Everything in the surroundings surged and transformed into a faint light mist that filled the space. It felt as if every minute particle in that light mist had its own story and its own space-time.

The airiness fluctuated. Tang Wulin felt as if he had already experienced a millennium in that split second. There was no pain nor did he feel the presence of the spear, but only the passing of time.

‘What was that…’

Then, he discovered that his body had begun to change. His originally young and strong body began to turn even stronger, followed by gradual aging with wrinkled skin and white hair. In the end, he turned into a skeleton. He had drowned in the Yangtze River of endless times as he vanished without a trace.

From the beginning to the end, he had not felt any pain during the process. But this made him feel even more terrified.

He utterly had no idea of what just happened nor of what he was enduring during the entire process.

The dust gathered once again as light shadows reappeared. He stood over there in perfectly good condition. Old Tang remained standing over there before himself as if nothing had happened.

“What was that?” Tang Wulin looked at Old Tang as his heart was filled with shock.

Even though he had not managed to see how Old Tang’s ‘spear technique’ earlier was utilized, the feeling was genuinely very real. A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye and his body had completely disintegrated.

“Tell me about what you felt.” Old Tang had not elaborated but he questioned Tang Wulin on the contrary.

Tang Wulin said without hesitation, “Sure.” He was feeling a little worried that he would forget the feeling earlier. He eagerly wished that he could immediately describe and request for Old Tang’s guidance.

“Time, the spear technique earlier should be the spear of time. The spear technique is filled with the profoundness of different times. Even though I don’t know how you utilize it, but it felt like I experienced a thousand years during that very moment. My human body can’t withstand a thousand years and that’s why my body disintegrated immediately. My body was completely destroyed by time. The profoundness of this spear technique is time control, right?”

“Correct, but also incorrect?” said Old Tang. His expression was calm and appeared to not have changed much on the surface.

“Correct but also incorrect?” Tang Wulin frowned. He suddenly recalled everything that Old Tang had mentioned before he launched the spear technique. An idea flashed through his mind as words escaped his mouth. “That wasn’t a real change in time but the changes are in a person’s mind, right? In other words, the time itself hasn’t changed much but I thought that I’ve already lived past a thousand years due to the influence over my state of mind. Thus, my mind has passed through a thousand years. The spiritual attack immediately rendered me defenseless until I had disintegrated. On the other hand, I’ve not lived through a thousand years in reality. Am I correct?”

Old Tang looked at Tang Wulin in slight astonishment as he nodded satisfactorily. “You’re extraordinary as expected. You’ve mentioned a key point there. You’re right, this is precisely one of the profundities in this spear technique but there’s far more than just this. On the other hand, the experience you’ve felt earlier is not the complete version of the spear technique. In order to display the power I launched earlier, you won’t be able to do so unless you’ve truly attained godhood. The foundation of the spear technique is demigodhood. You can only truly express its power when your spiritual cultivation base has achieved Thought Concretization.”

Demigod spear technique?

Tang Wulin was feeling confused. Since it was a demigod spear technique, why would Old Tang chose to teach it to him this at this time?

Old Tang said, “Strange, isn’t it? Why do I teach you a spear technique of this level now? This is because the spear technique albeit requires demigod-rank and above to express its power, you’ll only need to comprehend some of the profoundness in this. If you can comprehend the profoundness of time even for ten or twenty percent of it, then it’s sufficient for you to use it for life. At the same time, your comprehension in time profoundness will be helpful when you’re attempting breakthrough the Golden Dragon King’s seals in the future.”

“Only the floating white clouds in the sky shall remain for a thousand years. So the spear technique is known as ‘Millennium Cloud’.

Tang Wulin was shocked. For some unknown reason, he felt that the name sounded a little familiar. It was as if he was supposed to be skilled in this spear technique.

Old Tang continued. “Next, I shall start explaining about the changes of time first. If a God were to utilize the Millennium Cloud, then it can truly be utilized to make a thousand years pass by in a flash and not just in one’s mind. Hence, you must first learn about the meaning of time…”

As compared to the process of learning Thousand Accusing Fingers where he was instructed to use it over and over again, Old Tang dwelled more on explaining the theories. Millennium Cloud did not follow a fixed form. Just as Old Tang had mentioned, it was the perfect combination of essence, energy, and spirit. It was a god-rank spear technique that was launched using one’s spiritual power as the source.

It was not as easy to comprehend the spear technique as one thought it to be. Tang Wulin naturally did not possess the natural endowments to swiftly master this technique. However, his concept of time and even space became clearer and clearer from Old Tang’s explanations. It allowed him to gradually sense the other level’s ability.

Time passed minute by minute under such circumstances. Tang Wulin lost count of time when he suddenly felt like his brain had swelled up a little. Old Tang had just ended his explanation.

Tang Wulin awakened from meditation. He opened his eyes and they still had a look of confusion.

It was truly not an easy task to receive so much knowledge in a short period of time and completely absorb everything. He would need more time to ponder and comprehend this knowledge.

Tang Wulin cracked into a faint smile. Millennium Cloud had allowed him to bear witness to a brand new level.

The other day when Tang Wulin watched those three Limit Douluos materialize and disappear at will, it should be their control over space that made it possible. If he was capable of successfully cultivating a portion of Millennium Cloud then he would be able to better master the profoundness of time at the very least.

Only the floating white clouds in the sky remained for a thousand years. Millennium Cloud was the profoundness of time!

Even though the submarine was large, it was impossible for it to be equipped with an adequately-sized cultivation arena like on land. Especially when it was working in the deep sea. Thus, the group of people including Shrek Seven Monsters and Blood Dragon Unit had almost spent all their time cultivating in their rooms.

The voyage was a very long one for the submarine would need about two months of time to arrive at Dou Spirit Empire.

As compared to Star Luo Empire, the Dou Spirit Empire was located slightly further away. They would arrive at Dou Spirit first, then follow by Star Luo before finally returning. This was the entire route of this envoy.

Tang Wulin spent every day cultivating as routine but he was also spending time to comprehend Millennium Cloud’s time profoundness continuously. However, the ability to control time and space had always been the most complicated ability in the world. Even though he had Old Tang’s guidance and it was also relatively easier to comprehend, it would definitely take more than just a day or two.

Fortunately, Old Tang would appear in his meditation every day during this period of time. Old Tang guided him in cultivating but only focused on the Millennium Cloud spear technique. Even though Tang Wulin was still far from being able to use this technique, the process of absorbing and digesting the knowledge to verify his learning was truly quite benefiting for himself.
