King Time

Gold inscription

The Time Stone stopped spinning, while Little Black looked at his master with a relieved and curious gaze.

Although Shun Long had told Little Black in the past, that such a situation had happened once again, when Shun Long appeared in front of that red palace, he said, the black dragon still could not feel relieved.

After all, 'Time Stone' was still an unknown treasure, and no one knew its true capabilities.

If one day, Shun Long was sent to a dangerous place, with an enemy that was far beyond what he could handle, wouldn't he be destroyed then?

''No! Master is my only family!''

As these thoughts flashed through Little Black's mind, the black dragon immediately shook his head rejecting him, before he turned to look at Shun Long who was still looking at his surroundings.

Seeing that he had returned to the foggy place within the 'Time Stone', Shun Long felt relief, but at the same time dissatisfaction in the depths of his heart.

He felt relieved that he had returned to this place while he had also broken through to the peak of the third stage in the 'Eternal Body King', but he also felt dissatisfied that he could not control this explosion when the 'Time Stone' would suddenly spin.

This is the second time this has happened.

The first time, Shun Long appeared outside the red palace, while the 'Time Stone' seemed to react to what was inside.

Purple light then burst forth from the palace, streaking high in the sky, before thunderous lightning clouds gathered in the air.

However this time, it seemed like no one had reacted to the 'Time Stone'.

There was only a white palace, 2 statues with silver wings and silver armor, a piece of red land behind Shun Long.

If Shun Long had not completely refined a rank 2 'internal Destruction pill' in the past, and had not reached the middle of the third stage in the 'Eternal Body King' now, will he manage to stay alive under that? what terrible pressure?

After thinking about it for a while, he then muttered to himself

''The second golden step seemed to be much scarier than the first. Does that mean that each successive step will be harder to climb than the last one?''

Shun Long's eyes twinkled as this thought flashed through his mind, when suddenly, the foggy place within the 'Time Stone' began to rumble.

Shun Long and Little Black both looked around them, as the small part of the white fog that surrounded this space, was now swirling in a spiral pattern.

A small part of the fog began to recede deeper within the misty space, while Shun Long looked at him with shock in his eyes.

In the past, Shun Long had tried to pass through the white mist, but after coming into contact with it he realized, that it was almost impossible to break through it. No matter what he did, whether he was using the 'Thunderbolt finger' or attacking with the 'Destruction Staff', or even when he simply put his qi into it, the white mist would not move even an inch.

However, something completely new appeared in Shun Long's eyes.

A golden inscription that was less than 1m (3.2 feet) tall appeared on the ground in front of him, as it emitted a faint white light.

Shun Long's eyes widened as he looked at the white palace with 2 guards engraved on the golden inscription.

This was definitely the same palace he had just visited a few minutes ago.

It was clear that Little Black did not recognize the white palace engraved on the golden inscription.

Seeing Shun Long taking a few steps forward, walking towards the golden inscription, Little Black had a serious look in his eyes as he appeared behind Shun Long in an instant.

The black dragon did not stop Shun Long from examining the golden inscription, but instead took all precautions if they faced any danger.

After all, Shun Long could not leave something inside the 'Time Stone' without knowing what it was.

Walking in front of the golden inscription, Shun Long placed his hand on it.

Although the inscription itself looked ancient, it had an extremely delicate feeling in its hands.

Shun Long had a serious look in his eyes, as his finger traced the image of the white palace on the inscription.

Seeing that nothing had happened, Shun Long activated the 'Sand King's Hour, gathering qi on his finger.

As Shun Long's finger impregnated with his qi came into contact with the golden inscription, the inscription let out a humming sound, before it was completely silent.

However, a faint white light still surrounded the inscription, but no matter how Shun Long tried to probe the inscription, he could not get another reaction.

Turning his head, Shun Long then looked at Little Black who was behind him, as he looked at him curiously, before Shun Long explained everything he had just experienced.

Suddenly, Shun Long also recalled the mysterious symbol above the white palace, and using his qi to create a small flame on his finger, he imitated the symbol as he showed it to Little Black.

However, to his disappointment, Shun Long saw Little Black staring at the symbol for a while, before he shook his head and said

''Teacher, I have never encountered such a symbol before. At least this is not a language I know ...''

Although Shun Long felt disappointed, he did not feel it was too unexpected.

After all, the origin of the 'Time Stone' was something neither Little Black nor anyone else knew about.

Shun Long can take his time in the future, to look for more things about the white palace in the golden inscription, as well as the mysterious red palace where he appeared outside, the last time.

With this thought in mind, Shun Long's mind finally relaxed.

After all, in truth, he must have benefited today from his 'walk' to the white palace.

Looking at the black dragon looking at him with a disappointed expression, Shun Long patted Little Black's head as he said.

''It's all right. We can find more clues about these things together in the future.

For now, it is time for me to break through to the Spirit realm!''
