Upon hearing Xu Lanfeng's words, Xu Yue couldn't help but let out a deep breath, feeling quite surprised.

"So, what do you want me to use the power of the Chaos Clock for?" asked Xu Yue as she approached and touched the Chaos Clock with her fingers, causing Xu Lanfeng to faintly smile.

"Well, You want to stay in the lower dimension for as long as possible, don't you?" asked Xu Lanfeng, causing Xu Yue's eyes to suddenly widen, a bit of horror appearing in them.

"Wasn't the amount of time that a True Immortal can stay in the lower dimension determined by the Grand Dao? I struggle to think that it could be that easily changed," said Xu Yue, clearly surprised by what Xu Lanfeng had just said.

Hearing that, Xu Lanfeng couldn't help but faintly shake her head as she let out a faint sigh.

"In this world, very few things are fully perfect, and neither the Heavenly Daos that govern the lower dimension, nor the Grand Dao that governs all existence are exempt for this fact, as such, both of them are also imperfect..." said Xu Lanfeng, causing Xu Yue to fall into thought.

"As you may know from your experience with it, although powerful, the Heavenly Dao of the Three Thousand Regions is unable to completely master the Dao of Fate, similarly, the Grand Dao itself is also completely unable to control the Dao of Time, thus allowing for treasures like the Chaos Clock to trick it," said Xu Lanfeng as she looked at Xu Yue, the eyes of the newly ascended True Immortal to slightly shine.

"So, how long can the Chaos Clock extend my stay for?" asked Xu Yue as she approached the clock and stared straight at it.

"In theory, the clock could extend your stay indefinitely, but in practice that would alert the Grand Dao, bringing trouble that neither you nor I want to happen, at the same time, that could cause some trouble to the Three Thousand Regions, as such, 3 times, or 9000 years in total is the limit that the sect has followed in the past," said Xu Lanfeng, causing Xu Yue's eyes to light up even more.

"9000 years, that's quite good..."

...

As she sat cross-legged and sent her spirit into the Chaos Clock, that was floating in front of her, Xu Yue couldn't help but close her eyes and begin to focus, already aware of what she had to do.

Merely a few moments later, Xu Yue's eyes suddenly popped open, as an overpowering aura suddenly emerged from the Chaos Clock.

In just a few moments, the aura of the Chaos Clock suddenly spread through the entirety of the Three Thousand Regions, causing every living being within it, including Xu Yue herself, to suddenly speed up.

In just a few minutes, as the aura of the Chaos Clock embedded itself into the Three Thousand Regions, time further sped up, flowing three times faster than outside of the Three Thousand Regions.

But even so, other than some powerful False Immortals, who immediately realized what had happened, nobody had realized what had just happened, as time had smoothly sped up for everyone, making noticing a change extremely difficult.

The only tiny difference was the fact that the Dao of Time had gotten a tiny, completely insignificant bit easier to comprehend compared to before.

At this moment, Xu Yue finally opened her eyes and turned her attention onto Xu Lanfeng, who was standing next to her.

"Speeding time up for the entirety of the Three Thousand Regions without any issue, I think I understand why being a Rank 4 True Immortal is required to wield the true power of the Chaos Clock..." mumbled Xu Yue as she got up from the ground, causing Xu Lanfeng to nod.

"With the history of the clock, It's only to be expected," said Xu Lanfeng, causing Xu Yue's eyebrows to slightly rise.

"History? Does the Chaos Clock have interesting origins?" asked Xu Yue, clearly interested in the origins of the Chaos Clock

"You should be aware of the Innate Gods, as well as their origins, am I right?" asked Xu Lanfeng, causing Xu Yue to nod.

"The Innate Gods were 2999 True Immortal Level beings formed at the very beginning of the life of the Three Thousand Regions," said Xu Yue, having a certain guess about the origins of the Clock already.

"That's the gist of it, and as you may have guessed, just like the Innate Gods formed from the power of their respective Daos, so was the Chaos Clock, which was originally meant to be an Innate God," said Xu Lanfeng, causing Xu Yue to nod, having somewhat expected this.

"In the end, the power of the Dao of Time could not be simply contained within an individual being so simply, at the same time, neither the Heavenly Dao nor the Grand Dao could make any use of it, as they did not master the Dao of Time, causing it to form into a certain treasure, at the same time, the soul of that Innate God, which was meant to be born back then became the Artifact Spirit of the Chaos Clock, as well as the Unofficial, 3000th Innate God."

"After my father slaughtered all 2999 other Ancient Gods, he destroyed the Artifact Spirit of the Chaos Clock, and left it in the lower dimension for the sect to use," finished Xu Lanfeng, causing Xu Yue to finally nod, still feeling a little bit impressed as she heard that story, even now.

Although Xu Yue had a bit of doubt whether her first Ancestor had really killed 3000 True Immortal Level beings on his own after just having ascended to the True Immortal Realm, nobody, not even the other Peak Powers disputed the story, making it a bit difficult to discern whether it was really true.

But as she looked at Xu Lanfeng, Xu Yue knew that she would not be able to obtain much more information about that battle, as Xu Lanfeng clearly agreed that it happened that way.
