665. Time-Space Corridor

Mirrorborn Supreme sat across from Lin Fei, clearly having done his homework on Lin. With a smile, he spoke, "Supreme Lin, I have a small request and hope you might agree to assist. If Supreme Lin is willing to help, then information about the Chaotic Behemoth will be freely given, to your satisfaction."

"What is it?" Lin Fei asked directly.

Mirrorborn Supreme hesitated for a moment before explaining, "It's quite simple. Are you aware of the chaotic phenomenon known as the Time-Space Corridor?"

"Time-Space Corridor? I am not aware of it," Lin Fei responded.

Mirrorborn Supreme elaborated, "The Time-Space Corridor is a rare chaotic phenomenon that appears sporadically within the chaos without any predictable pattern. Its location is only known when it appears.

As for its function, it's quite straightforward—it accelerates time. Even we Supremes find time acceleration beyond our abilities, but the Time-Space Corridor can achieve this. Once inside, time moves much faster.

I have a disciple who is unaware that I am her master, and I have intentionally allowed her to fend for herself in the chaos. She is planning to enter the Time-Space Corridor soon, but I am unexpectedly unable to watch over her covertly.

Therefore, I'd like to ask Supreme Lin to go to the Time-Space Corridor and protect her in secret. Once the task is accomplished, the information about the Chaotic Behemoth will be yours."

Mirrorborn Supreme laid out his request clearly—he wanted Lin Fei to covertly protect his disciple. Although Lin Fei felt it was somewhat overkill for a top-tier Supreme to provide protection in secret, if Mirrorborn Supreme believed it was worth the trade for some information on Chaotic Behemoths, why not do it? Obviously, he highly valued his disciple, or he would not have personally come to solicit Lin Fei's help.

"Time-Space Corridor... Alright, I accept the task!" Lin Fei responded. "Once your disciple safely exits the Time-Space Corridor, we'll consider the task complete. How does that sound?"

Lin Fei couldn't be expected to guard Mirrorborn Supreme's disciple indefinitely; he would only protect her covertly inside the Time-Space Corridor.

"That is acceptable," Mirrorborn Supreme agreed. "As long as Supreme Lin ensures my disciple leaves the Time-Space Corridor safely, the task will be considered complete."

"Good," Lin Fei nodded.

Mirrorborn Supreme then provided Lin Fei with some data, including what his disciple looked like and her name. The disciple, newly risen to Supreme status, was known as Rainbow Supreme.

After Mirrorborn Supreme departed, Lin Fei stepped out and left Kunyu City, embarking on his new task.

In the vast, boundless chaos, three figures soared through the void. Among them, a newly minted Supreme named Rainbow Supreme was accompanied by two friends. Though termed 'friends,' their relationship was relatively fresh, having met not long ago in the chaos. Even so, Rainbow Supreme maintained a cautious distance, mindful of potential dangers.

"Time-Space Corridor should be close now," one of the Supremes remarked.

The necessity of the Time-Space Corridor was debatable. Many Supremes, endowed with near-infinite lifespans, rarely felt the urgency of accelerated time. Their longevity spared them from most existential crises, diminishing the appeal of such temporal shortcuts.

However, for those still in their ascendant phase, feeling their powers could surge swiftly, the corridor represented a critical opportunity. It offered a chance to leverage accelerated time to enhance their strength quickly.

Gazing into the distance, Rainbow Supreme spotted a long corridor cutting through the dark chaos—a stark, visible contrast against the formless void. That was the Time-Space Corridor.

Its appearance was unpredictable, manifesting anywhere within the chaos without pattern or warning. They knew of its presence because it had already been visible for a while, allowing them to converge on it.

"Let's move. We should enter the Time-Space Corridor soon," she urged. "But we need to be cautious. The corridor is a mixed bag, filled with many Supremes. Some of them might have less than noble intentions."

Rainbow Supreme advised vigilance. Her companions nodded gravely in agreement. "Indeed, we must be cautious. Rumors say some Supremes who entered never reemerged."

"The corridor itself doesn't kill, but other Supremes might," one added, hinting at the possible dangers from their own kind rather than the environment itself.

Anything could happen in the chaos, where order and predictability were often scant.

As the trio approached the entrance of the Time-Space Corridor, they suddenly noticed a mysterious figure lingering outside. Rather than entering, this Supreme scanned them briefly—a single glance that sent a surge of tension through the three friends. They instantly felt threatened; the mysterious Supreme seemed exceedingly dangerous.

"Be careful; this person is terrifying," Rainbow Supreme whispered to her companions.

Without further delay, they quickly flew into the Time-Space Corridor, seeking both the opportunities and safety it promised, away from the unnerving presence of the mysterious Supreme lingering at the entrance.

"She does possess some vigilance," Lin Fei mused quietly to himself.

The figure lingering outside the Time-Space Corridor was none other than Lin Fei. He had arrived early, waiting outside specifically for the arrival of Rainbow Supreme. Now that he had confirmed her presence at the corridor, he was ready to follow.

In the brief moment before stepping through the portal, Lin Fei had already locked onto Rainbow Supreme's position, ensuring he would not lose track of her. With a swift motion, he crossed the threshold and entered the Time-Space Corridor.

Inside, Rainbow Supreme and her two fellow Supremes exhaled in relief, believing they had evaded the enigmatic and daunting Supreme they encountered outside.

"That mysterious Supreme was truly frightening," one of them whispered, a shiver in their tone.

"Indeed, a mere glance seemed to portend great peril," another agreed.

"The chaos harbors myriad dangers. Could that Supreme possibly be a top-tier?" the first mused.

"Why would a top-tier Supreme venture into the Time-Space Corridor? Surely, the temporal acceleration here offers little to someone of such elevated power?"

"After all, if a top-tier Supreme could still significantly enhance their power, wouldn't they verge on becoming a master of chaos?" pondered the second, the thought almost too daunting to entertain.

Both of Rainbow Supreme's companions shook their heads slightly. The notion of becoming a chaos master, let alone a top-tier Supreme, felt immensely distant.

Without extraordinary fortune, their lives might never reach such exalted heights. Perhaps only Rainbow Supreme, newly anointed as such, held such potential. For them, hope seemed far more tenuous.

"Could that mysterious Supreme have followed us?" one wondered aloud.

"Regardless, we are here for cultivation," Rainbow Supreme declared, dismissing further concern. "Let us find a spot where time accelerates significantly. We must seize the moment."

Her purpose was clear: to exploit the accelerated time for cultivation. Now that they had reached the Time-Space Corridor, it was time to commence their training in earnest.

Thus, the trio searched the corridor and eventually discovered a vortex known as a Time Bubble. Within these bubbles, time sped up even more dramatically—tenfold, twentyfold, or even up to a hundredfold acceleration was possible.

Together, Rainbow Supreme and her companions entered the Time Bubble, commencing their accelerated cultivation.
