Failure!
Failure!
Still failure!
After countless failures, Lin Chen’s mood grew increasingly heavy.
"Xi Jie, how much ti has passed?"
Qi replied, "Three years outside the tower, less than four months inside."
Lin Chen was stunned, "What does that an?"
Qi explained, "This space has a different flow of ti compared to normal ti, I’ve estimated it to be roughly ten to one."
"Ten to one?"
Lin Chen widened his eyes in shock, "So that ans one year outside is actually just a little over a month in normal ti?"
"Yes."
Qi comforted, "So there’s still plenty of ti, no need to worry."
Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief, joy appearing in his eyes, "Ah, that’s great. I was afraid that several years had passed and there wouldn’t be much ti left before the five-year mark. Seeing the slow progress in breaking the Array Formation, I feared it couldn’t be solved within five years..."
Qi’s tone was gentle, "Perhaps the divine spirit who created this trial anticipated such a scenario, so the flow of ti was altered to give everyone more ti to break the array."
Lin Chen turned and looked at the surrounding, quietly ditating Heavenly God Clan trialists, curious, "Do these Heavenly God Clan trialists know that ti here is different from outside?"
"They probably don’t know."
Qi replied, "Wu Heng and You Kun didn’t ntion it, but if one possesses so special Magical Treasures, they can still confirm the ti flow here."
Knowing there was still ample ti, Lin Chen’s previously anxious emotions relaxed at once. He even considered getting up to take a stroll, but given his identity as a Human Clan mber, he gave up on that thought.
Lin Chen once again closed his eyes and continued to decipher the array.
The passage of ti continued, but the surrounding people gradually began to grow anxious.
"It’s almost the five-year mark, right? I’ve only deciphered less than a quarter of this array. People are trapped here and can’t get out, what should we do?"
"Right, are we going to be stuck here forever?"
"The main issue is that even if we make it through after these five years, it’s useless since we can’t leave!"
"Let’s wait and see. Maybe after the five-year mark, everyone who hasn’t passed the trial will be let out?"
"It’s possible. So many people ca in, if no one can break through the array, are we just supposed to die here? It’s just a trial, it shouldn’t go that far, right?"
The people discussed chaotically for a while, ultimately placing their hopes on being released when the five-year period ended.
However, their hopes were dashed.
"Five years!"
A thin man waved a timing Magical Treasure that looked like a Compass, speaking with fear and unease.
"The five-year mark has arrived, now it should be ti for everyone to leave this starry sky and return to the Heavenly God Realm, but there’s no reaction here, we’re truly trapped!"
Soone anxiously asked, "Are you sure it’s been five years?"
The man pointed at the Magical Treasure in his hand, "I’ve been timing since we entered, and it’s exactly five years now!"
Everyone imdiately panicked.
If they didn’t return now, they would never make it back!
They were trapped in this starry sky, not knowing how long they would be confined, potentially exhausting all their Cultivation Resources and being slowly worn down to death!
"What kind of broken array is this, are we supposed to decipher it so slowly?"
The Young Man gritted his teeth, "We might die if we don’t get out, so I’ll give it a try!"
The Young Man unleashed his Magical Treasure, and under everyone’s gazes, charged headfirst into the array ahead.
The giant array that was originally calm like lake water suddenly surged, endless green light flashing, array formations exploded, and the branches and leaves of the giant tree that towered over Heaven and Earth wrapped around the young man.
The Young Man exerted his full effort to wield his Magical Treasure, but in the blink of an eye, he was overwheld by endless branches and leaves.
The tsunami-like array gradually cald down, the sky-full gathered branches and leaves scattered once more, and the giant tree reverted to its original state.
The young man was gone, as if he had never existed, yet the falling Magical Treasure from midair revealed his tragic fate.
This scene instilled a deep fear in everyone.
Wu Heng and You Kun both turned to look at Lin Chen, anxiety flashed in their eyes.
"Don’t mind it, breaking the array offers a glimpse of hope."
Lin Chen didn’t explain the ti flow issue to the two, only leaving them with a cryptic statent.
Five years passed, so what use is there in breaking the array now?
The exit is closed, can you really find a way to open it?
The two exchanged glances, seeing the confusion in each other’s eyes.
Lin Chen continued to imrse himself in the array, continuing his decryption.
He vaguely sensed the intentions of the person who set up this trial ground. One part was giving enough ti for everyone to learn array knowledge, while the other was testing everyone’s character.
For example, now, many people gave up on breaking the array, choosing to lay flat.
Fortunately, though these people slacked off, they didn’t harass those who remained committed to breaking the array, otherwise, conflicts might have broken out.
Lin Chen’s speed at parsing the array wasn’t particularly fast, but every ti he overca a difficulty, his understanding of the Wood Elent Array improved significantly.
Ten years!
Twenty years!
Thirty years!
During such a long ti, the vast majority of people had already given up.
If in the previous five years, everyone held on to a sliver of hope, ten to twenty years later, they had already "confird" they were trapped to death here.
They were angry, they cursed, they beca irritable, everything annoyed them...
You Kun and Wu Heng had also given up, but seeing Lin Chen still focused on breaking the array, they took up the role of his bodyguards.
Soone looking unfavorably at Lin Chen’s diligence found fault, and the two stepped in to obstruct the troublemakers.
The two weren’t top-tier in Strength, incomparable to a few Demons, but they weren’t weak either, so no one dared to engage them seriously.
With the protection of these two, Lin Chen sat quietly for thirty years.
"Ding!"
A subtle chi echoed in Lin Chen’s mind, a spot on the giant tree shone with sudden Greenish radiance, the blue light grew intensely bright.
As the Greenish Light cascaded, countless points of radiance illuminated, runes appeared, lines were sketched out.
The radiance extended, the giant array in midair that was once indistinct seed to be fully activated, revealing its true form, encompassing everyone.
This sudden change instantly drew everyone’s attention, and all eyes collectively fell on the still cross-legged Lin Chen.
Lin Chen opened his eyes, letting out a long breath, a smile appearing in his gaze.
Thirty years!
He finally found the critical point!
The array is broken!
