Chapter 3829: Boiling a Frog in Warm Water

Little Python was still shaken: "Master, what just happened?"

Lin Moyu shook his head. "I'm not sure, but it should be related to the Space Great Dao. I don't know the specifics yet. Let's keep flying, but be careful."

Little Python said, "It's a pity, if that had been a virtual-real spirit realm, Master could have gotten another treasure."

Lin Moyu replied, "If it were that easy to get, such treasures wouldn't be valuable."

Little Python asked, "Are innate origin treasures only found in virtual-real spirit realms?"

This question triggered a memory in Lin Moyu.

On the Ferrying Calamity Boat, that giant statue was made entirely of innate origin treasure. Even the murals and carvings on either side of the steps he climbed were all made of innate origin treasure. On the Ferrying Calamity Boat, such materials didn't seem rare at all.

"What exactly is the Ferrying Calamity Boat?"

Seeing Lin Moyu fall silent, Little Python stopped asking and continued flying in the planned direction. After experiencing the bell, Little Python was even more cautious and tried to stay alert. Lin Moyu didn't speak further, just drank his tea quietly while the only sounds in the void came from the playful Dao Spirits.

After flying for several more days, the outline of a Great Spirit Domain finally appeared in their view.

Lin Moyu looked over and, from a great distance, saw the shape of the domain.

Little Python remarked curiously, "Master, this Great Spirit Domain has such a strange shape."

Lin Moyu chuckled, "This is the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain."

What Little Python called strange was, in fact, the shape of a large drum.

A Great Spirit Domain shaped like a giant drum no wonder it was called Twilight Drum.

As they drew closer, Lin Moyu kept watching. According to Discernment Beast, the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain was dangerous, but he didn't know what the danger was.

The domain grew larger and closer in their view.

Dong!

Suddenly, a deep drumbeat sounded.

Little Python's body uncontrollably retreated, moving farther and farther from the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain.

As it retreated, Little Python's eyes went blank, falling into a daze, unaware of what it was doing.

The Dao Spirits' laughter also stopped. The little ones were still moving, but their actions became strange, as if being played in reverse.

Lin Moyu frowned. He could sense the power of time in the drum's sound.

Almost instinctively, his Time Great Dao activated, protecting his body.

He immediately understood what was happening: "It's time reversal."

"Because of the Time Great Dao, I'm unaffected."

"The little ones are protected by their Great Dao power, so they're less affected, but still impacted."

The most affected was Little Python, whose personal time was flowing backward. It would retrace its steps exactly as it had come.

During time reversal, Little Python's consciousness would temporarily stop, and its memory of this period would be erased.

It would have no idea what it had done, as if it never heard the drum at all.

After retreating over a hundred million miles, Little Python's awareness returned, and it continued forward as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, they were just seeing the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain again.

Little Python curiously repeated, "Master, this Great Spirit Domain has such a strange shape."

The Dao Spirits showed no surprise either, as if it were their first time experiencing this their memories had also been affected.

Time can erase everything; for them, that period simply never existed.

Lin Moyu said nothing, signaling Little Python to keep going.

Little Python flew forward, once again approaching the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain.

Lin Moyu paid close attention. When they reached the previous spot, the domain flashed.

Dong!

The drum sounded again, and Little Python's eyes glazed over, starting to retreat.

Lin Moyu was ready this time, activating the Time Great Dao to block the temporal power.

He watched Little Python's soul closely and saw a tiny flaw appear its memory was erased by the Time Great Dao, but the soul itself wasn't significantly harmed.

The damage was minuscule, almost undetectable.

But therein lay the danger: because it couldn't be detected, they didn't know they were affected and would repeat the same action over and over, continually approaching the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain.

Each time, they'd suffer a tiny bit of damage.

Like a frog being boiled in warm water by the time you realize it, it's too late.

If lucky, your soul is merely wounded; if not, you're annihilated.

Only cultivators who practice the Time Great Dao, and have at least reached the Great Dao Realm, can resist the time reversal of the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain.

"So this is the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain truly dangerous!"

After this round of retreat, Little Python's eyes cleared, and it repeated in the same tone, "Master, this Great Spirit Domain has such a strange shape."

Lin Moyu said, "Stop."

Little Python was confused. "Master, what's wrong?"

Lin Moyu said, "There's danger ahead. I'll go alone."

He drew a Storage Divine Rune and signaled Little Python to enter.

Though confused, Little Python obediently entered the rune.

Lin Moyu opened his storage space and put Little Python away. "You all go in too," he told the Dao Spirits.

The four Dao Spirits also obediently entered the storage space.

Lin Moyu activated the Time Great Dao, enveloping himself in radiant light as he headed for the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain.

He had comprehended the Time Great Dao, but rarely used it.

He had a technique, the Wings of Time's Curse, which, when pushed to the limit, could let him roam the river of time.

Lin Moyu had seen the river of time several times, even meeting its spirit.

But he had never entered the river of time. Once, he wanted to, to see past events.

At that moment, a warning came from deep within his soul: entering the river of time was dangerous.

He realized that roaming the river of time was not simple and should not be attempted lightly.

After that, he gave up the idea and used the Time Great Dao less and less.

Now, he activated the Time Great Dao and flew toward the Twilight Drum Great Spirit Domain.

When he reached the previous spot, the drum sounded again.

The deep drumbeat, carrying the power of time, struck Lin Moyu, but his Time Great Dao blocked it, allowing him to continue.

After getting closer, another drum sounded.

This time, the drum was even deeper, the power even stronger, and the Time Great Dao's radiance around him was clearly distorted.

Lin Moyu realized his earlier judgment was off being at the Great Dao Realm wasn't enough; perhaps a higher realm was needed.

As he got closer, the drumbeat grew more frequent and powerful.

He kept activating the Time Great Dao to resist.

The radiance of the Time Great Dao around him became thinner and thinner, as if it might shatter at any moment.

"Is it really this hard?"

He was already a first-tier innate soul; if even he couldn't enter, did it require a Dao Lord?

Discernment Beast must have known this, and let him try because he could make it.

"No problem, just hold on a bit longer!" Lin Moyu steeled his will, fully activating the Time Great Dao and pushing forward through the drumbeats.

The drumbeats became dense and violent, pounding against him.

Finally, in one especially fierce drumbeat, his Time Great Dao shattered and a pair of radiant wings sprouted from his back.

The Wings of Time's Curse!
