Generally speaking, any ability related to time is considered to be among the top few in various film and television works.
For example, the time freeze that people are most familiar with is to freeze the enemy by pausing time, and then use this time to output and kill the opponent.
This idea is very beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
After time is stopped, all people and things around them will also stop, and their related time will be in a static state. In such a situation, it is almost equivalent to a disguised invincibility, and there is no way to harm them.
This is the situation Zhang Xiaoman is facing now.
Although Quicksand between Fingers is not a time-stopping skill, on the surface, there is nothing wrong with calling it this.
Just like when he was at the No. 39 Sewage Treatment Plant, Morris was pulled into the realm of quicksand between his fingers, and everything around him became stationary.
In this state, they cannot interfere with it in any way, and they cannot move too far away from the casting location.
Therefore, the idea of killing after stopping is impossible to realize.
In fact, this kind of field is extremely sensitive to changes in the surrounding dark energy.
If they were ordinary life forms like mutants, the quicksand between their fingers could easily activate them.
But if it were a mutant with dark energy, it would be difficult to activate the field of quicksand between the fingers.
Because the flow of dark energy will be interfered by the opponent's dark energy field and become chaotic.
Even if the forced activation is successful, it cannot last long. Depending on the opponent's strength, this period of time will not even exceed five seconds at the same level.
Even I cannot use dark energy to a large extent in this field, otherwise the field will also collapse.
Can't practice, can't heal, can't kill the enemy...
From this point of view, quicksand between fingers does seem a bit tasteless.
But this is actually just a superficial phenomenon. There are actually many places where this ability can be developed.
Its biggest function is to extend thinking. In layman's terms, it allows people to practice in it. This was also the main purpose of this ability when it was originally developed.
When the realm of quicksand between fingers ends, everything will return to the timeline of the main world, with the exception of memory.
In other words, as long as he has this ability, Zhang Xiaoman will be able to spend a lot of time studying and accumulating knowledge in the future.
According to his current ability, one use can last for an hour, at which time all his dark energy will be cleared away.
Then, combined with his own recovery speed, he only had to wait for about ten minutes before he could re-enter.
In this way, Zhang Xiaoman can constantly impose on himself the state of quicksand between his fingers, thus having more time than others.
But it should be noted that during this period, he cannot practice or leave too far. Even because he needs to take into account the stability of his field, he can only use dark energy to arrange the formula. Proceed with caution.
Once the surrounding dark energy fluctuates too much, he will most likely be squeezed out of the time gap and return to the timeline of the main world.
You can do some other things, such as the books he has entered into the field. This is the best source of knowledge.
So this is why, even in the world of immortality and immortality in the Ancient Divine Continent, there are still many strong people who keep a large number of books.
In the end, things like jade slips and jade souls cannot be used in the cracks of time. Only the most primitive books can meet the needs of the caster.
Therefore, these days, Zhang Xiaoman asked Su Changqing to expand the library within the organization and copy many things that were originally recorded only in electronic files into books.
In this way, Zhang Xiaoman now has time to read some other books besides practicing.
This includes books on spiritual practice, reports accumulated in the organization, expanded information on other planets, and even information in some scientific and technological fields.
Yes, as long as you have this magical power, you can extend your limited life indefinitely and master more knowledge.
…
"call……"
With a long sigh, Zhang Xiaoman stepped back from the quicksand between his fingers.
"One hour and thirteen minutes, this time is longer than last time..."
He timed himself.
Although those timing tools cannot be used in the field, with Zhang Xiaoman's current physique and perception, he can time it silently in his mind, which is very accurate.
"Not bad. According to the current frequency, if I use it dozens of times a day, I will soon be able to read all the books on the ancient continent..."
Zhang Xiaoman is still very satisfied with his current state.
He originally didn't have time to look at the books in Tianyuan Sect's entire library, so he could only take the time to find one or two when he wasn't busy.
But now with this magical power, he can quickly read all the books in it.
Perhaps after hearing what he was saying to himself, the little cyan dragon in the leader Yujue couldn't bear the loneliness. He used his poisonous tongue and said:
"Boy, how could you be so happy just now? If this happened in the past, any kid in the Nascent Soul stage would have been in samadhi longer than you."
Being treated like this, Zhang Xiaoman's originally a little proud mood also disappeared.
He knew that although he had the strength of the God Transformation Stage, his energy limit was not as high as that of the real God Transformation Stage old monster.
Therefore, the duration of the quicksand between his fingers will be much lower than that of a normal cultivator.
"Oh? Approximately how long can those cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage last at a time?"
Zhang Xiaoman became interested in this topic and couldn't help asking in his heart.
Ni Yang frowned and thought for a while, and seemed to not know much about the Nascent Soul stage, which was so low that it was invisible. After a long while, he said in an uncertain tone:
"Well... I remember that when I was in the sect, the two boys Tianyuan and Tianfeng accepted a few disciples with fairly good qualifications. They realized the quicksand between fingers at the Nascent Soul stage. It can last for three days and three nights, right...?"
Zhang Xiaoman was shocked. He didn't expect that the gap between himself and the other party was so big.
"Haha, although your cultivation method has advanced very quickly, but you have not built a purple mansion or condensed the Nascent Soul, your background is naturally very different from those of those who have practiced for decades to reach this point."
"Besides, they have Yuanying that connects the nine orifices, opens up the fourteen meridians, forty-eight major acupuncture points, and three hundred and six acupuncture points. Their spiritual power flows, nourishes each other, and is endless. They are also more comfortable in maintaining magical powers."
"Although you have a lot of weird breath-recovering abilities, which are somewhat unique, you can't use them in the quicksand between your fingers... So, in terms of endurance, how can it be possible? Their opponent?”
In the head of Yujue, the little cyan dragon pointed out his shortcomings unceremoniously.
When Zhang Xiaoman heard this, not only was he not angry, on the contrary, he was quite moved.
If someone can point out the shortcomings of one's own practice, that is worthy of gratitude no matter what.
Sometimes, Niyang and I have a feeling of being both teachers and friends.
"You are right. The path I am taking now is indeed not as solid as those who cultivate immortality. This is an inevitable flaw..."
Zhang Xiaoman first agreed with the other party's point of view, then shook his head helplessly and said:
"But you have also seen that the current situation we are facing means that there is no time for me to practice slowly. It is a rare blessing to be able to use this method to quickly improve my cultivation..."
He knows his own family affairs, so how can he not understand the method he is currently practicing?
But the great fusion is coming, and Zhang Xiaoman doesn’t know when a group of dimensional cracks will suddenly appear on the Aqua Blue Star.
If I don't improve my strength as soon as possible, when I encounter those powerful alien species, I'm afraid I won't even have the strength to protect myself, so how can I protect others?
Therefore, the way of cultivating immortals that often lasts for decades or hundreds of years is not suitable for them.
If he waits until he cultivates the Nascent Soul in that way, then the day lily will probably be cold.
This was not the first time that Ni Yang had followed him to Water Blue Star, and he had some understanding of the situation here.
It even has a clear understanding of the two laws of the second universe and alien species, and has its own unique way of understanding them.
"Well... the Guixu Realm and the demons from outside the territory are indeed a big threat. There is a certain reason for your choice..."
"Let's do this. If I have time in the future, I will help you think of ways to strengthen your strength and strengthen your foundation. I will replenish your body and save you from such a lack of endurance."
The corners of Zhang Xiaoman's mouth twitched, feeling that something was wrong with what this guy said.
"Okay, Niyang, I will also prepare a few more Osmanthus Pills and Fairy Spirit Energy for you when the time comes, so you can follow suit!"
"Tch, I don't care about those gadgets of yours... But since they were all prepared with your heart, I can't help but look down on you, so I can just accept them reluctantly..."
Zhang Xiaoman didn't want to talk to this arrogant dragon anymore. After waiting for a while, he once again opened the quicksand field between his fingers.
The day passed quickly. He used the quicksand between his fingers nearly twenty times and finally finished reading the book on immortality he had prepared.
The books on cultivating immortals are all written in ancient Chinese. They contain a lot of content and the words are difficult to pronounce and difficult to understand. It is quite troublesome to read. It is not easy to read a book for twenty hours in a row.
As a result, Zhang Xiaoman was quite tired.
It's not just physical sleepiness, it's all mental, which makes people feel bored.
"Boy, is this not possible? I used to be in trance for hundreds of years at a time. You have only been in trance for ten hours, and you are already so impatient. In this state, how can you master the second layer of quicksand between your fingers? "
Even in the space, the cyan dragon's mocking voice sounded again, as precise as an alarm clock.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at it helplessly.
This old greedy dragon always likes to mock himself once or twice when there is nothing wrong. Although he also knows that the other person is doing it for his own good, sometimes coupled with its mean expression, it is really annoying.
Zhang Xiaoman first agreed with the other party's point of view, then shook his head helplessly and said:
"But you have also seen that the current situation we are facing means that there is no time for me to practice slowly. It is a rare blessing to be able to use this method to quickly improve my cultivation..."

[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
