Jian Kaicheng and the others were stunned. They were at the Years Walker realm before tribulation, and now they were at Half-step Years after it.
In that instant, Jian Kaicheng and the others felt as if their hundreds of years of cultivation had been wasted. Comparing themselves to others was infuriating.
"Haha, congratulations, young friend. You've actually entered the Half-step Years realm already." Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Jian Nancang and the others immediately looked at the man, but their faces showed surprise. They had never seen this person before, but the dense aura of years emanating from him allowed them to sense that this person was definitely a Great Emperor of Years.
"It seems my disciple's backing is quite powerful." Seeing the gazes of Jian Kaicheng and Jian Hongda shifted towards him, Jian Nancang shook his head slightly, indicating he didn't know, and then said softly.
"Why are you here?" Li Xuan was also taken aback when he saw the Great Emperor of Years. This fellow could actually leave the River of Time?
"After all, he is a Great Emperor of Years, and also the master who controls the River of Time. It's natural for him to leave the River of Time without any issues," the voice of the Heavenly Dao Brush echoed in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Xuan chuckled awkwardly and then looked at the Great Emperor of Years. His sudden appearance was probably not just because he had broken through to the Half-step Years realm.
"I am indeed here to see you for another matter, but this is not a place to talk. Moreover, you have just entered the Half-step Years realm, and there are some things I can help you with. The situation is also different now. Perhaps you will have to enter the River of Time to cultivate and improve yourself."
The Great Emperor of Years seemed to have seen through Li Xuan's thoughts and spoke.
"Master, I will go with this senior for now," Li Xuan nodded and then said to Jian Nancang.
"Go, your master will wait for your return at the sect," Jian Nancang nodded upon hearing this.
Seeing this, the Great Emperor of Years waved his hand, and a beam of spiritual light flashed, instantly taking Li Xuan away.
"Speak, what is it?" After entering the River of Time, Li Xuan looked at the Great Emperor of Years and said.
The Great Emperor of Years looked a little helpless and then said, "Young friend, you should already know about the invasion of the Divine Realm Continent. However, you probably don't know the details."
"What details?" Li Xuan nodded and looked at the Great Emperor of Years with some curiosity.
Seeing this, the Great Emperor of Years stopped beating around the bush and said, "The Divine Realm Continent actually began preparations for invasion a year ago, but they were stopped by a mysterious powerhouse. It is said that this mysterious powerhouse set a rule that the Divine Realm Continent can only go to war with the Immortal Realm Continent after five years."
"Besides that, the Divine Son of the Divine Realm Continent has already recovered to his peak. The Divine Realm Continent is now restless, and that mysterious powerhouse has not yet appeared. It is likely that the Divine Realm Continent will make a move before long."
"Mysterious powerhouse... could it be someone from the Immortal Realm Continent?" Li Xuan asked with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
The Great Emperor of Years immediately shook his head and said, "No, there is no trace of the Immortal Realm Continent on her. Moreover, I can sense that her strength is probably very high."
The Great Emperor of Years paused and then looked at Li Xuan and said solemnly, "There is another more important piece of intelligence, which is that the Divine Son seems to be looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Li Xuan was stunned. He had never met this Divine Son before, and they had no enmity. Why was the Divine Son looking for him?
The Great Emperor of Years nodded and said, "That Divine Son had already sent someone to find me before, but I would never betray you, young friend. Although the Divine Son is a divine being, I am not afraid within the River of Time."
Seeing the Great Emperor of Years' expectant look, Li Xuan smiled and said, "In that case, I owe you a favor. But what do you mean by 'divine being'? What is the origin of that Divine Son?"
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of Years waved his hand, set up a barrier around them, and then whispered, "That Divine Son is a divine being, and not an ordinary one. Among divine beings, there are ordinary divine beings, the Administrators of Time, the Administrators of Destiny, the Masters of Wind, the Masters of Rain, the Earthly Deities, and the Heavenly Deities. That Divine Son is an Earthly Deity."
Seeing the Great Emperor of Years' caution, Li Xuan was also a little surprised. After listening to the Great Emperor of Years' explanation, Li Xuan's expression also became serious.
Such a terrifying existence was actually targeting him.
"Young friend, you don't need to worry too much. The Immortal Realm Continent is currently protected by a strand of sword energy left by that mysterious powerhouse. Even when two peak Great Emperors of Years from the Divine Realm Continent attacked together, they couldn't break it. However, if the Divine Son makes a move, it might be hard to say."
"The most urgent thing for you, besides improving yourself, is to find that mysterious powerhouse."
Li Xuan gave a bitter smile and said, "Brother Years, I don't know the mysterious powerhouse you mentioned either. Even if I knew who it was, how could I find her in such a vast Immortal Realm Continent? For now, the only path is to improve my own strength."
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Little fellow, are you looking for me?"
