Immortal Supreme: Sovereign of the Grand Dao

Chapter 150  New Ability Awakened: Entering the Nine Heavens Palace for the 'First Time'

=================¶¶=================

As Arthur emerged from his deep meditative state, he felt the resonance of the Time Dao within him. The profound understanding he had gained in the previous chapter lingered, filling him with a newfound sense of power.

He focused his attention inward, his mind delving into the depths of his soul. There, he could sense the 10th stage of Intent in the Time Dao, a milestone that filled him with exhilaration. It was still just a tiny step towards mastery of the Time Dao but is was still a step countless had failed to take.

Aixen, the ancient Artifact Spirit, stood beside Arthur, his presence reassuring and wise. He reminded Arthur of the untapped potential within the Nine Heavens Palace, a realm that awaited his exploration.

"Master," Aixen spoke softly, "as you deepen your understanding of the Time Dao, do not forget the inner world of the Nine Heavens Palace. It holds secrets and treasures that will aid you on your path."

Arthur nodded, realizing that he had neglected to enter the Nine Heavens Palace, distracted by the revelations of the Time Dao and the gem's power.

"You are right. It seems I was momentarily distracted. But no matter I have plans and also a lot of questions too. There are many things I need from the palace."

Arthur could still recall a few fragments of memories about the palace and there was an artifact within that he needs dearly.

With renewed determination, he turned his gaze towards the floating Nine Heavens Palace, a small, ethereal structure that seemed to defy the laws of heaven and earth.

"Before that, let me test my new power," Arthur muttered.

Aixen thought Arthur wanted to use the power of the newly comprehended Intent Level of the Time Dao, but he was in for a surprise.

With a thought, Arthur activated his newfound ability. The power of the Gem of Time surged within him, granting him control over the flow of time within a five-meter radius. Time itself became malleable, responding to his will.

In an instant, everything around Arthur appeared to slow down. The world moved in sluggish motion, as if caught in a suspended state. He marveled at the sensation, realizing the immense potential of his newfound power.

With a flick of his wrist, Arthur released the time manipulation, and the world resumed its normal pace. He grinned, exhilarated by the possibilities before him. This ability was a game-changer, a weapon that could turn the tide in battles and give him a strategic advantage.

Meanwhile, unknown to Arthur his display had caused the ancient artifact spirit to be shocked.

'Time Manipulation? How could it be Time Dao Manipulation? This is something even the Gods could not so easily achieved yet Master just did,' Aixen thought.

Determined to test his newfound powers, Arthur conjured a training dummy, a puppet with the strength of a Grand Martial Realm cultivator and positioned it five meters away.

With his command, the puppet moved and attacked with a speed that would leave most peak Grand Martial Realm cultivators in the dust.

But just as it got with five meters, Arthur activated his ability.

As he activated his time manipulation ability, he watched as the dummy froze in mid-air, its movement halted. To any onlooker, it would appear as if time had stood still.

Arthur circled around the frozen dummy, his movements fluid and swift. He could increase his own speed by utilizing the time manipulation to move faster than the perception of his opponent.

To an observer, it would seem as if he had teleported from one spot to another, disappearing and reappearing with lightning speed.

Aixen watched all this with rapt attention as Arthur reveled in his newfound ability, the exhilaration coursing through his veins.

With this power, he could outmaneuver his enemies, strike with precision, and retreat before they even realized what had happened. It was a tactical advantage that could turn the tide of any battle.

Aixen observed Arthur's training with a glimmer of pride in his eyes. "Master, your control over time is impressive. Your enemies will never see you coming."

"Also, due to Master's lost memories, you might not know this but the ability you just displayed was one that even the Gods of the upper realms might only be able to do by comprehending the Time Dao at least beyond the concept level."

Aixen's words surprised Arthur but he continues.

"Originally only Immortal cultivators of the upper realm could come in contact with the mysteries of the time Dao. This case is an anomaly and has never happened before...since the beginning of time."

Aixen spoke seriously but Arthur just smiled.

"Don't be too surprised Aixen. There are many feats I will be achieving tha had never happened since the beginning of time," Arthur grinned.

Arthur's confidence soared, his determination solidified. He knew he had unlocked a unique power, one that only his powerful soul and the gem of time could bestow upon him. It was a gift that he would use wisely and to its fullest extent.

With his time manipulation abilities honed, Arthur turned his attention to the Nine Heavens Palace.

He glanced at Aixen, who nodded in approval. It was time to explore the inner world and uncover the secrets that lay within.

With a surge of energy, Arthur and Aixen disappeared from their current location. The Nine Heavens Palace, floating gracefully in the air, vanished alongside them, transported to the inner realm of the Nine Heavens Palace.

Within the inner world of the palace, Arthur found himself standing in a vast expanse of ethereal beauty. The surroundings were adorned with celestial gardens, flowing waterfalls, and shimmering pavilions. It was a realm untouched by the passage of time, a sanctuary of tranquility and hidden knowledge.

Aixen floated beside Arthur, his presence emanating an aura of reverence. "Welcome, Master, to the inner world of the Nine Heavens Palace," he spoke with a voice filled with ancient wisdom. "Here, you will find the accumulated wisdom of countless generations, waiting to be discovered."

Arthur's eyes widened in awe as he surveyed the breathtaking landscape before him. He felt a profound connection to this realm, as if it resonated with the deepest essence of his being.

He recalled the tiny pieces of memory in his mind about the palace and took a step forward, his curiosity driving him to explore the hidden treasures that lay within.

Each step he took seemed to resonate with the pulsating energy of the palace, as if the very ground beneath him whispered secrets.

As he ventured deeper into the inner world, Arthur encountered various chambers and halls, each holding its own mysteries. In one chamber, ancient texts and scrolls lined the shelves, waiting to be perused. In another, intricate artifacts and relics filled the display cases, whispering stories of forgotten times.
