Zhou Tian wasn't incapable of accomplishing that task; if he wholeheartedly wanted to use his time ability to eliminate that strange wind, then theoretically speaking, it was greatly possible to eradicate that wind with the strong effect of the time ability.
However, although Zhou Tian might indeed have the ability to do that at the time, considering the situation of those strange winds, wanting to eliminate them with time ability wouldn't be an easy task. Even under those circumstances, attempting to eliminate a strange wind would be taxing on Zhou Tian's time rule cultivation.
If that strange wind was just like a trap and couldn't exist as a long-term danger, Zhou Tian wouldn't mind using time ability to withstand it. After eliminating that crisis, Zhou Tian would have plenty of time to recover. Once he is back in optimal condition, it would naturally be no problem.
