Chapter 356: Absorbing the Replica of the River of Time
7/10
----------
Feeling a strong surge of the temporal rule coursing not only though outside his body but starting to invade his entire being as well, Su Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a bit panicked since he didn't quite expect that this sort of event will happen just because he wants to comprehend temporal rules even more, making him start thinking of ways to reign over the rules already starting to rampage its way all across his entire being.
While the current him, lacking in the complete memories of the previous timeline is rather worried of this though, should he regain his complete memories and witness this thing happening to him, there is definitely nothing more but ecstatic joy that he will feel seeing all these changes brought about in his body because of the temporal rules, changes that will push him forward to being more and more absurd of a monstrous genius.
"This might be bad but, whatever…" feeling the flow of the River of Time's replica starting to move from the outside towards his body, the immortal-like young man braves the uncertainty of the things currently happening to him, just completely putting his faith on that fact that since it is him that created this Replica of the River of Time, then he sees no reason it might bring negative consequences to him.
Closing his eyes to feel the changes starting to happen in his body, Su Xiaotian starts using everything he got, his transcendent qi, his physique, and even his immense soul power to try and guide the flow of the River of Time entering his body, trying to think of what sort of path should he guide this new power to given that its current shape is not something compatible with his body.
While he thinks of those things though, he couldn't help but notice that if he wasn't careful enough and allow one aspect among the three, whether if it is his spirit qi, his physique or his soul power for just a bit of a prolonged time, the temporal rule will start decaying them into nothingness as if they never existed at all.
Hence all the more reason why he starts getting even more careful, the amount of tasks he is currently simultaneously performing in his mind something that not even an Ascension Realm expert can imagine, not to mention even hope of performing.
'The river-like nature is already a perfect structure so I don't need to meddle with this particular nature of this power, the question is, what path should it take?' he thought to himself, already not having enough spare mental power to even speak verbally given that just a single mistake from handling this esoteric power might lead to his ruin.
'Should I try it?' with something that he thought is absurd starting to pop into his mind, the immortal-like young man couldn't help but think that this is something extremely dangerous to perform, yet the yield of such risk is definitely something so much more than the worth of the risk involved.
'Whatever, nothing ventured nothing gained' after thinking about the pros and cons, not to mention that he really won't die here given the nature of the Infinite Qi Dimension, Su Xiaotian eventually decided to go through with this absurd idea of his, something that he will look back to in the future as one hell of a great, yet absurdly reckless endeavor.
Taking a deep breath in order to brace himself for what is about to come, he starts guiding the power of the temporal rule in a specific path around his body, taking extreme caution in order for him to avoid irreparable damage to his body.
'What's the chances of the Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi containing the energy of the temporal rule in my body without any risk?' he asks towards the system, hoping that the autonomous artificial intelligence has an answer waiting for him.
He doesn't did this for naught though as the system doesn't disappoint, revealing his chances with this gamble, odds that are not too good looking for him.
[There is a billionth chance of containing the temporal rule should the user just brute force the way in to control it, the chances increase the better the method of control is]
'That's not bad, at least the chance is non-zero' he wryly smiles to himself as he helplessly thinks that this is really something hard to do, his mind already starting to calculate ways in order to properly contain and even control the use of the temporal rules, some of the ideas he thinks might be quite effective with dealing with this situation.
Splitting his attention even more to act this little plan of his, he starts using his multiple nascent sources to have better control of each and every single one of his cores all while he still leaves a fragment of his attention to the overall control of his body.
As he begins to properly channel the temporal rule rampaging all throughout his body, the immortal-like young man also starts to operate his nascent sources in full power, causing the floating islands on each of his cores to tremble in unrest, all while an ocean of Primordial Nihility Transcendent Qi starts rising from the deepest depth of the cores, until it eventually submerged the entire islands whole.
'Now for the hard part…' bracing himself from the pain that he thinks is about to come, he starts letting go of the control of the temporal rules as it finally finds a path to go through, causing him to grit his teeth as he saw the rules starting to get out of the guidance of his soul power and qi and directly moving through his meridians, blood vessels and nerves, causing a destruction so devastating that he thought he is about to die even with the terrifying regenerative property of his physique.
Thinking that this would be a problem if it goes on for long, another idea pops into his mind to alleviate him of his current suffering, his thoughts on something that is displayed on his status panel right on his physique talent.
[Grand Completion Transcendent Body (Dormant)]

[A physique with an extreme compatibility with the Grand Completion Transcendent Body, invoking the power of the Grand Dao upon activation, granting the possessor of both physiques the ability to negate and absorb the effect of every possible type and kind of thing that can inflict any kind of thing to the user. This same power can also manifest outside and use it as protection reaching up to ten meters (Increases as the user's cultivation increases).]
After seeing and confirming the effects of his latest acquired physique talent, he then directed himself to read the second line of information about this, finding solace in the fact that what he hoped for is really right.
[Note: The talent is still in its dormant state, only completely awakening once the possessor of the talent completely integrates it not only to themselves but also with the Grand Desolation Transcendent Body. Can be forced into awakening causing the possessor of the talents to acquire all the effects that simultaneous possession of both talents offers, this forced awakening state lasting for five minutes (Awakening rate and the duration of the forced awakening increases as the user's cultivation increases)]
