Chapter 1837 - 1831: It Really Is Related to Him
Zhang Menglong’s confident demeanor left the King, the Princess, and the generals present feeling astounded.
What does he mean, is he planning to capture all these reinforcements alive? But on what basis?
"Princess, could you provide us with a sufficiently large cultivation room? Try not to disturb us in the next two days," Zhang Menglong said to Ling Xi, "Then everyone can proceed with their tasks, continue the music and dance; those from the Divine Profound Hall can’t create much trouble, there’s no need for you to act as if you’re facing a great enemy."
In this military fortress, while there aren’t many things available, cultivation resources are plentiful, and places that can accommodate tens of thousands of cultivators are abundant. Not to mention just over 8,000 cultivators, even for 80,000 or 800,000, suitable places could be found.
Though the people of the Shenxiao Empire were puzzled, cultivation is a gradual process and cannot be achieved in one go; otherwise, the world would be filled with strong warriors everywhere. Who knows what they could accomplish in two days.
"Make sure to protect this place well," arranged Princess Ling Xi, then left the training room, "No matter what happens, do not disturb Mr. Gu Xiao and his team; anyone who enters without proper permission can be killed instantly!"
"Yes, Princess!"
...
"Clan Leader, what’s going on?"
"Yeah, Clan Leader, why did you gather us for special training here?"
"In just two days, what can we accomplish?"
"Quiet," Zhang Menglong shouted loudly, "In these two days, I want all of you to elevate your life levels to be above the Divine Cultivation Realm!"
"What?"
"Seriously, Clan Leader, are you kidding us?"
"Clan Leader, I am now only at Eighth Grade Peak of Divine Breath; are you trying to kill me?"
"Two days? Maybe two years would be more realistic!"
"Why so much nonsense!" Zhang Menglong interrupted them hastily, "Elixirs, as many as needed, cultivation resources, also as many as needed!"
"Clan Leader, it’s not possible; even digesting this stuff takes time. It’s not like a game where consuming experience levels could instantly increase."
"I’m telling you, this is just the simplest task among them; there’s an even more important task ahead!" Zhang Menglong continued.
"What? Simple?" Everyone was puzzled; this task alone seemed impossible to accomplish—upgrading everyone to the Divine Cultivation Realm in two days!
"The second task," Zhang Menglong articulated every word, "I want all of you to comprehend the second level of Nine Nether Sunset Art in two days! I do not require you to reach 100% mastery; while this demand may be a bit harsh, I think achieving over 50% should be manageable."
"Clan Leader, just kill us, please!"
"It took us at least two and a half years to fully master the first level; how can we learn the second level in just two days?"
"Clan Leader, have you eaten some bad stuff that’s clouding your mind?"
"I think the Clan Leader might have drunk some fake wine."
"Alright, quiet!" Zhang Menglong reprimanded, "Since I’ve set this target, I am serious about it; two days is enough for you all!"
White light flashed across Zhang Menglong’s hand, and a golden hourglass appeared in his hand.
He inverted the golden hourglass, and instantly, an invisible energy wave enveloped the entire cultivation room.
"What happened? I feel like things around us are a bit different, but I can’t pinpoint what’s changed."
"Interestingly, I feel the same way."
"Take a look outside," Zhang Menglong displayed a mysterious smile.
Someone walked to the relaxation area of the cultivation room, gazing outside and immediately noticing something different.
Outside, time seemed frozen; even the birds in mid-air appeared as though they’d been struck by the Paralysis Spell, motionless in the sky, and the warriors of Shenxiao Empire guarding this cultivation room stood still like statues.
"Not entirely frozen; I can feel the airflow moving, but very slowly."
"Time’s passage has slowed!"
Someone finally noticed the crucial factor—their timers had barely moved!
It was impossible for everyone’s timing devices to malfunction simultaneously; the only possibility was a change in the speed of time’s passage!
Everyone’s focus reverted to the golden hourglass Zhang Menglong had just revealed.
"Could it be a Divine Artifact containing the Time Law?" Someone boldly speculated.
Such items are nearly legendary; even within Sunset Sect, there appear to be just a few Law artifacts, one being the spring of Sunset River, an artifact related to Destiny Power.
A Divine Artifact linked to Time Law is like a cultivation cheat! Although the cultivator still undergoes lengthy training, outside, only a mere moment passes.
"Indeed, this is an hourglass containing the Time Law," Zhang Menglong confirmed. It’s similar to "Rooms of Time and Spirit," just more portable, though it does require considerable Cred Points.
"How much does this item slow down the passage of time?" Someone immediately asked.
"1000 times!" Zhang Menglong stated. "Therefore, the two-day period gives you over 2000 days to cultivate. If you can’t accomplish the tasks I’ve assigned, then you might as well hit your head against tofu and die, rather than bringing shame to the Shamate Clan!"
"Had you mentioned earlier, this would be a breeze!"
"As long as there are cultivation resources, everything is possible!"
"Only leveling up to First-grade in Divine Cultivation? Clan Leader, are you underestimating us? I think you’re insulting us!"
"Enough talk, start cultivating!"
...
Meanwhile, the Divine Profound Hall had already completed assembling the support troops, and a spaceship was moving swiftly towards the Xingyu Empire.
In one of the rooms on the spaceship, three Direct Disciples were reviewing video materials sent by the Inner Sect Disciples of the Divine Profound Hall. The footage showcased the battlefield with 8,000 apprentices demonstrating the formidable Nine Nether Sunset Art.
Their aura was nearly reaching the Half-step Dao Realm; within Divine Profound Hall, their status was almost equal to the Elders.
"Yes, it is indeed the Nine Nether Sunset Art!" One Direct Disciple’s expression grew grave, "Not even Lei Poguan grasped the Nine Nether Sunset Art during his apprenticeship, did he?"
"These individuals can’t be spared; we must eliminate them before they mature; they pose a significant threat to our Divine Profound Hall."
"Yes, my teacher also instructed that none of them must remain, yet we need to investigate fully why they all comprehended the Nine Nether Sunset Art. Without understanding the source, even killing them is futile."
"This time, our mission is exceedingly heavy indeed."
"Wait, enlarge the image!" Suddenly, one Direct Disciple noticed someone familiar on the screen.
"Stop! That’s big enough!" The Direct Disciple’s expression immediately turned somber. "It’s indeed related to him!"
