Urban Supernatural Medical Saint-Chapter 1078 - 1077: Time, Time

"What do you mean?" Xiaoyu was full of confusion.

Mo Huajian came to the windowsill and suddenly noticed a flower there.

Although it was the season of falling snow in winter, the flower bloomed exceptionally beautifully.

"Such a vibrant bloom..." Mo Huajian’s fair fingers brushed past the petals.

"Miss, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Xiaoyu, you’re just in the Void Saint Realm. Today, I finally understand why Tian Fangyu said you’ll never be able to break through to the Daoist Saint Realm. Today, I get it. You don’t understand; you won’t grasp the laws among all things in the world, the interesting things in nature. Someday, if you can stop and carefully observe everything around you, you’ll realize you’ve missed many beautiful things." Mo Huajian said.

Xiaoyu listened to Mo Huajian’s teachings with a bewildered expression.

She simply couldn’t understand.

It was as if people from two different worlds were having a conversation.

Mo Huajian noticed she didn’t understand and explained in straightforward language:

"The Daoist Saint Realm is ultimately not about how profound one’s Inner Essence is, but the understanding of the Law. From the moment humans embark on cultivation, it’s a journey of constantly breaking the boundaries of the Law. Increasing strength, extending lifespan, all these defy the original natural Law. At the Daoist Saint Realm, this becomes most apparent. Five thousand years ago, when I broke through to the Daoist Saint Realm, I comprehended the Space Rule. In these five thousand years, you and I have traveled across the Continent, always admiring the charm brought by space.

"But—"

"We’ve both overlooked an important factor."

Mo Huajian paused, her gaze falling on Xiaoyu’s delicate features.

At this moment, Xiaoyu was like an obedient student, listening to a teacher’s earnest teachings.

Mo Huajian continued:

"And that is time... five thousand years... I always thought time was the most boring and meaningless thing for us. As long as we wanted, we could find Heavenly Treasures in Secret Realms to prolong life. If I wanted, I could even remain eternally youthful. I thought I had broken free from the shackles of time, I thought I had escaped the chains of time... but actually, I haven’t!"

Xiaoyu was shocked.

"Miss, don’t talk so seriously, it scares me..."

"Not only did we not understand what time is, but we’re also still bound by it... you and I, we can never escape birth, aging, illness, and death!" Mo Huajian sighed.

"How can we not escape? Didn’t you just say we could remain eternally youthful?"

"That’s always by using external forces... but have you thought about it? What if one day, the Secret Realms no longer exist? All the Heavenly Treasures disappear? In this vast universe, there’s no food, air, or medicine that you need!" Mo Huajian asked. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"..."

Xiaoyu was completely startled.

She seemed to understand the meaning behind Mo Huajian’s words.

The reason they’ve been able to race against time is because they’ve always relied on powerful external forces. For instance, Secret Realms and Heavenly Treasures.

Mo Huajian, seeing Xiaoyu lost in thought, continued:

"Why was Tian Fangyu able to kill an army of two hundred thousand with one sword strike?"

"Because... because that old man Tianyin burned his Qi Sea and used powerful Combat Skills, elevating his cultivation to the Daoist Saint Realm."

"Can it enhance the Heart Realm?"

"No, no... it can’t..." Xiaoyu spoke without confidence. She lost her conviction.

"He has already ascended to the Daoist Saint Realm!"

Mo Huajian said startlingly.

"What? How... is that possible? Miss, did you see it wrong? How could it be the Daoist Saint Realm!? I clearly saw him use the power of Holy Light, and with one sword, he killed two hundred thousand skeletons."

"The power of Holy Light has been completely absorbed by him and not fully squandered. When he used that move, I felt the power fluctuations within his body, and the portion of Holy Light power he forced out was the part he hadn’t absorbed. Moreover... I felt... he not only comprehended the Space Law but also... the Time Law!"

Time Law!?

Xiaoyu was stunned, her lips trembling.

She dared not think further.

"Miss! Don’t speak nonsense... how could he comprehend the Time Law! He only recently ascended to the Void Saint, how could he comprehend the Time Law so soon? This... how is that possible? Miss, your talent is so great, how could he comprehend the Time Law and you can’t? I don’t believe it, I can’t accept it..."

Yet as she finished complaining, she realized how unreasonable it all was.

The man hasn’t done anything wrong to you; he comprehended a Law before you did—is that his fault?

You can only blame your own talent for not measuring up.

Xiaoyu was overwhelmed by her concern...

After a long silence, she curiously asked: "Miss, what are the Laws of the World?"

"To be honest, I don’t know either. I’ve also been pondering this question... maybe only Mr. Fang knows."

Without reaching that level, who knows what the Time Law represents?

Xiaoyu then asked:

"If that’s really the case, does that mean his realm is higher than Miss’s? If he plays tricks, won’t we never be able to return to the Flower Domain?!"

Mo Huajian replied calmly:

"Indeed... unless we wait until the next five thousand years when the gate to the Flower Domain opens again, and other cultivators from the Flower Domain come out to train. Only then can we follow them back. But... five thousand years is too long... we’ve only been out for over eleven thousand years. It’s been tedious enough in that time, let alone waiting another five thousand years?"

"Yes!"

"However, I believe Mr. Fang is not that kind of person." Mo Huajian said.

...

Trust is the best way to maintain relationships.

Whether between a man and a woman, lovers, or even friends.

Only by truly understanding someone can you give them the most complete trust.

But...

How many people truly understand Fang Yu?

Fang Yu doesn’t even know.

In the Great Thousand World, nothing is impossible... especially for Fang Yu, who has experienced so much; humanity is hard to decipher, and he’s the most qualified to speak on it.

Fang Yu stood by the windowsill...

Slowly opening his eyes.

Watching the vibrantly blooming flower.

Fang Yu’s hand brushed past the petals.

Whoosh.

A gust of wind came.

The petals withered.

Fang Yu murmured to himself: "Is this the Time Rules?"

"Unbelievable... unbelievable... Today, that sword, although it killed two hundred thousand skeletons, if it weren’t for the help of the Time Rules, it would have been impossible. It paused for two full seconds! Those two seconds were crucial!"

He didn’t know if others noticed. But he had the most authentic feeling.

Two seconds, for a master, are enough to unleash dozens of strikes in an instant.

This is extremely lethal.

"The Daoist Saint Realm... so mysteriously profound..."

To Fang Yu, the world looked very different than before...
