CHAPTER 383: CHAPTER 363 TIME TOWER

To rapidly boost Cultivation, one must definitely resort to consuming Elixirs throughout.

These Elixirs, if taken outside, would only need a few to incite a fight among a group of Profound Immortals, but for Shi Nian, it’s about wholesale.

She cultivated for several days.

Still, Shi Nian felt the progress was too slow.

Even though she consistently consumed Elixirs, not to mention the Crystal Stones’ consumption, in terms of time, she would need nearly a decade to reach the Peak of Profound Immortal. And after that, to cultivate to the Immortal Emperor Realm and the Immortal Venerate Realm, she did not know how much more time it would take.

By then, her Junior Master Uncle might have been in trouble for a long time.

"Xiao Tong." Shi Nian couldn’t help but ask Xiao Tong: "I noticed there are many Space Secret Techniques in the System Mall; what about Time Secret Techniques? Do such techniques exist in this world?"

Time and space, the two most fundamental forces of the world.

As for space power, her Sky Escape Technique, an old monk’s ultra-long-distance teleportation, and even Emperor Tian could master a part of it through Arrays.

But what about time?

It seems that she has never heard of anyone being able to master the power of time.

Shi Nian suddenly remembered.

In the Lower Realm, she had dreams about her senior brothers and sisters.

Those dreams were incredibly vivid; experiencing one dream was almost like living through their entire lives.

But sometimes, Shi Nian couldn’t help but doubt.

Were these really just dreams?

Or were these experiences truly not just dreams, nor merely predictions about the future?

They were also too complex to be summed up by the simple phrase ’storybook scenarios’.

All of this seemed as if it had truly happened, yet someone with supreme power had rewound time, forcefully making everything start over.

This gave her the opportunity to rescue Mu Nanqing and the others.

Rewinding time must then be a type of Time Secret Technique cultivated to an extremely high level, and it might even have touched the essence of time.

And the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique that she is currently cultivating.

Why, regardless of how long she stays in the minor world, does the time in the Immortal World remain unchanged?

The time flow rate being different between the minor world and the Immortal World is one aspect.

But how can it be that the Immortal World’s time does not change at all, despite the different flow rates?

Shi Nian believes that the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique might contain a trace of the power of time.

Although she can’t truly feel this power or unravel its mystery, it definitely exists.

Now realizing that continuously taking Elixirs wouldn’t allow her to reach the Immortal Venerate Realm within ten years, Shi Nian began pondering the feasibility of studying Time Secret Techniques.

"Time Secret Technique, of course, exists," Xiao Tong said. "However, this technique can only be completely mastered by the supreme Heavenly Dao. Others, even Divine beings, can only control a part of it. You, Host, shouldn’t even think about it. This is not a realm you can touch at your current level."

Shi Nian wasn’t annoyed, she patiently said: "I don’t necessarily need to master it myself. For instance, isn’t there a secret treasure called Two Realms Mirror in the System Mall? This mirror has certain spatial properties; otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to penetrate the two realms. Then in the system, is there a similar time-related secret treasure? I don’t need a divine function like time reversal; just being able to alter the flow speed of time, like ten years here equating to only a month in the external world, would suffice."

Xiao Tong was stunned.

Just wanting to change the flow speed of time a bit?

Does this woman know what she’s talking about?

Is that simple?

Isn’t that against the natural order?

Huh?

"Stop dreaming such grand dreams," Xiao Tong said somewhat irritably.

"Xiao Tong, aren’t you an all-powerful and invincible entity? Can’t you find a way?" Shi Nian’s expression suddenly turned gloomy: "You know, all my efforts are just to rescue my Junior Master Uncle; but the current time is insufficient. If I can’t rescue him, then all my years of effort would have been wasted. I would be really heartbroken."

Shi Nian said this, and a sparkling tear drop fell down.

Xiao Tong looked at her like that, panicked: "Host..."

This was the first time she had ever seen Shi Nian cry!

Shi Nian snuffled: "Xiao Tong, it’s me who troubled you. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything. I... I’ll think of another way myself."

Though she said this, her expression was full of sorrow, as if she was about to burst into tears again at any moment.

Xiao Tong hesitated for a while before she finally said, "Actually... it’s not that there’s no way at all."

"What way?" Shi Nian’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Her eyes were suddenly no longer red, and her voice unstuck, making Xiao Tong doubtful.

Was she being tricked again?

However.

Having already spoken, Xiao Tong did not intend to take her words back, she accessed the System Mall, performed a series of operations, and in the System Mall, a small tower appeared.

Shi Nian looked over with some curiosity.

Time Tower.

Price: 99,990,000 top-grade Immortal Crystals.

Without even looking at the effects, just the price nearly made Shi Nian faint.

Shi Nian bravely continued to look at the details.

"The tower has three layers. First Layer: one year inside, ten years outside. Second Layer: one year inside, a hundred years outside. Third Layer: one year inside, a thousand years outside. (Note: This tower is a treasure from the Heavenly Dao, only those with destiny can use it, and the conditions for use are very strict. Please consider carefully before purchase.)"

This means, if you are not the destined one, buying it would be equivalent to wasting your money.

Shi Nian did want to take a gamble, but did she have the capital?

Xiao Tong, seeing Shi Nian’s expression, explained: "The conditions for using this tower are so harsh that no one can control it. Therefore, I simply did not display it."

This was the reason Shi Nian had never seen the Time Tower before.

This indeed was a bit tricky.

Shi Nian thought for a moment, then asked: "Xiao Tong, given our relationship..."

"No," Xiao Tong interjected, having learned to preempt.

Shi Nian immediately felt a bit aggrieved: "I haven’t even finished speaking."

Xiao Tong calmly said: "You can’t spit out ivory from your mouth, Host."

"Are you cursing me?" Shi Nian began throwing a tantrum: "You cursed me, you have to take responsibility for me. I don’t care, you must think of a way about this Time Tower."

Xiao Tong gritted her teeth: "99,990,000! What can I do! Even if you pay in installments, you can’t afford it. And even if you bought it, you might not be able to use it."

She couldn’t afford it even in installments.

Shi Nian’s eyes twitched, and she thought of another method.

"Since we can’t afford it, then we won’t buy it," Shi Nian said. "Xiao Tong, how about renting the Time Tower to me?"

Xiao Tong: "???"

Shi Nian began to analyze: "Look, I definitely can’t afford such a high price. And you, you only have me as a host. If I can’t afford it, you have no income, right?"

Xiao Tong subconsciously nodded.

"Exactly, I need this thing. If you could rent it to me, the ownership of the Time Tower would still belong to the System Mall, and I would just use it occasionally. You could also make some Immortal Crystals. This way, it’s a win-win for both of us." Shi Nian continued, ah no, analyzing.

Xiao Tong nodded again.

That makes sense, indeed it makes sense.

"You see! You agree too!" Shi Nian clapped her thigh, "Then it’s settled, we will rent the Time Tower to me for one year. I will pay you the rent, and after a year, the Time Tower will return to the System Mall. When I need it again next time, I’ll rent it again."
