Jared gave a faint smile, not blaming the holy maidens. He knew that after this instance, they would no longer doubt him.
“Get some rest, we’re setting off tomorrow. All I can do is try my best to protect you. However, the polar region is treacherous, and no one knows what could happen. So, in the end, it’s still up to you. The future development of Lunarius Palace also depends on you,” Jared said to the holy maidens.
“Thank you for the advice, Mr. Chance.”
With that, Bianca led the holy maidens to rest.
“I noticed you were daydreaming just now. What were you thinking about?” Nieva inquired after the holy maidens were gone.
Upon hearing Nieva’s question, Jared’s face instantly flushed red. Had I been caught sneaking glances at just now?
“I was… was gazing at the moon, thinking. The cycle of human life is all due to the passage of time. Yet, we find it hard to physically see this flow, given that it takes several decades for a person to transition from birth to death. For us cultivators, the concept of time becomes even more elusive. Living for hundreds of years comes easily, and even after a century, our appearance might not change at all. But as I was staring at the moonlight just now, I could distinctly feel its flow because the position of the moonlight was shifting with every second, and this change in the moonlight is the very movement of time itself. Even though I understood the logic, grasping time nascence still proved to be quite a challenge,” Jared said with a slight frown.
“You’re merely a Tribulator, yet you aspire to comprehend time nascence. You must be out of your mind. However, the fact that you can articulate these thoughts shows that you have indeed started to gain a basic understanding of it.”
Upon hearing Jared’s words, Nieva was somewhat taken aback. Jared was merely a Tribulator, yet he had already begun thinking about the nature of time nascence.
Upon hearing Nieva’s words, Jared asked, “Ms. Nieva, have… have you comprehended time nascence?”
If Nieva had grasped time nascence, Jared could definitely learn from her. It would certainly be better than thinking aimlessly about it on his own.
Nieva chuckled, shaking her head hastily. “I’ve only grasped frost nascence and not any other elements, especially when it comes to time nascence. Understanding it is not like the other nascences. It demands one to experience life and death and have a true appreciation of the cycle of life. Only then can one truly comprehend time nascence.”
“Life and death? The cycle of life?”
