Chapter 1632: True Solution of Time

"It's also possible that just skimming through the contents with divine sense doesn't allow one to remember..." After a while, Nangong Yuanfeng couldn't help but say.

Skimming and remembering are two different concepts.

The former is merely scanning, where the content doesn't need to be understood or memorized, but the latter, forced memorization... there's a huge gap between the two, not to be mentioned in the same breath.

If it were just the former, he could do it too.

"This... we'll know by reading on!"

In response, as soon as Tantai Zhenqing finished speaking, he saw all the floating books simultaneously turn to the last page, then land back on the bookshelves.

"I'll trouble the Eighth Elder to return the books!"

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, as if digesting something, after more than ten breaths, Zhang Xuan opened his eyes and said calmly.

"Yes!" The Eighth Elder nodded, looking bewildered as he collected the books into his ring and flew out again.

"You've previously studied the simple version of the Zhang family's cultivation technique, and I've helped guide you, correcting its flaws. There's no need for further study in the short term; the main focus is on martial techniques and understanding the law of time. Based on the contents of these books, I've just compiled two sets of techniques, which I'll now impart to you!"

With that, Zhang Xuan pointed a finger, and a stream of thought immediately entered Zhang Jiuxiao's sea of consciousness.

"This..."

Seeing the knowledge imparted by his teacher, Zhang Jiuxiao's whole body trembled.

The law of time is a true solution even harder to comprehend than the law of space. Many people, even if they witness it firsthand, cannot understand it. For this reason, the Zhang family's True Solution of Time, unless aided by bloodline power and swordsmanship, is rarely able to be executed under normal circumstances.

He had thought it would take an unknown amount of time to learn successfully, but never imagined that the technique passed on by his teacher would progress from shallow to deep, gradually becoming clear, reducing the difficulty by countless times.

Following this cultivation, he should be able to fully understand it in less than a month.

But... a month was still too long.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up: "Teacher, time is too tight..."

It wasn't that he didn't want to win glory for his family, but... even with such a powerful technique, it would still take an unknown amount of time to master it.

It couldn't be achieved overnight.

The half hour his teacher mentioned was simply too rushed.

"Don't worry, burn this drop of blood inside your body!"

As if anticipating this, Zhang Xuan flipped his finger, and a drop of blood floated before Zhang Jiuxiao's brow, then drilled straight in.

The purest blood collected by the Zhang family.

Buzz!

As soon as the blood entered Zhang Jiuxiao's body, it began to burn, and in the blink of an eye, he fell into a special state of mind.

"Time acceleration?"

Tantai Zhenqing narrowed his eyes.

With the blood entering his body, he could clearly sense that Zhang Jiuxiao's consciousness had fallen into a time vortex, where time was completely different from the outside, undergoing acceleration.

That is, although only half an hour had passed outside, this Zhang Jiuxiao might experience a day, two days, or even more than ten days of enlightenment.

"Allowing only the mind to enter time acceleration is somewhat similar to the blood pool..."

An elder also noticed this and muttered.

The Zhang family's blood pool precisely allowed one's mind to accelerate in cultivation; for this reason, the Zhang family produced many geniuses, far surpassing the Luo family.

"The blood pool can at most increase time tenfold, but the clan leader's method increases it by more than a hundred times..." another elder beside him said.

"By using the family's purest bloodline, he has set up a special time acceleration array in Zhang Jiuxiao's mind, targeting only consciousness, so consumption is extremely low!" Nodding, Xingjiansheng explained.

Others might not understand, but as a former clan leader and one of the family's peak experts, he could grasp his son's purpose.

Under normal circumstances, burning bloodline not only has a weakening period but also consumes a great deal of blood; sometimes, before a set of martial techniques is even executed, the blood has already burned out.

Zhang Xuan used a special method to alter only the time for mental enlightenment, not only wasting very little blood but also accelerating time by an unknown factor.

"Even if consumption is extremely low, increasing time a hundredfold... is only a few days. In such a short time, what can he learn? Can he really defeat that person?"

The elder who spoke earlier couldn't help but say.

Although the clan leader's methods dazzled them, Zhang Jiuxiao's starting point was simply too low. Even with this trick, how much could he comprehend in half an hour?

After all, the law of time—they had immersed themselves in it for a lifetime, hundreds of years, yet made little progress.

Ignoring the crowd's confusion and shock, Zhang Xuan returned to his seat, closed his eyes, and studied the knowledge he had scanned earlier.

His earlier use of divine sense to flip through the books was only to mask the doubts of the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Zhang family members; in reality, with a single glance, he had recorded all the content in the books and formed a Heavenly Dao technique.

What he imparted to Zhang Jiuxiao was only a simplified version, while he himself was now cultivating the complete version.

"The Zhang family ancestors truly had a profound understanding of time..."

As the technique flowed through his mind, Zhang Xuan felt a surge of emotion.

It must be said that the many predecessors of the Zhang family had indeed traveled far on the path of the True Solution of Time, no wonder they could become the number one family on the continent, with no one able to overshadow them for tens of thousands of years.

With continuous learning, his understanding of the law of time grew deeper.

After an unknown period.

Rumble!

As if grasping something, a sudden clarity dawned, and a stream of thought flowed continuously in his mind.

At the same moment, the Zhang family ancestral hall experienced everything that had happened in the Luo family ancestral hall, except that all clan members were drawn to this competition and no one noticed.

Whoosh!

Zhang Xuan opened his eyes, light shining, with what seemed like a vortex swirling within them.

"Finally understood... but it's only personal time acceleration!"

Having fully comprehended the Zhang family's True Solution, he now understood.

This True Solution allowed one to accelerate one's own time, making movements faster and difficult for others to react.

But it couldn't achieve what the Master Teacher Academy's Time-Space Hall did, where outsiders could enter and cultivate for a month while a year passed outside.

Even so, it was still formidable.

At the very least, his strength had improved once again.

"Previously, a drop of blood would be consumed after two uses; now, I can store it directly in my body and use it whenever I want, without wasting a bit! A single drop of blood is enough for dozens of battles..."

He smiled slightly.

Of the three drops of blood given by Xingjiansheng, one was used when encountering the Dragon Bone Divine Spear, one was given to Zhang Jiuxiao earlier, leaving only the last drop. However, having comprehended the True Solution of time acceleration, future use would be more economical.

The first use could be said to be too wasteful.

Almost ninety-nine percent of the power was dissipated.

Now, he could easily control it, using a single drop of blood at least dozens of times.
