Chapter 108 Time Acceleration, Upper Gods
Gongyang City.
Jage was unaware that the Lord of Skyfire City already knew about the fabricated background he had created.
After exchanging blows with Lord Gongyang, he successfully replicated the complete laws of space and a portion of the laws of time.
After the exchange, Lord Gongyang kept Jiege behind and gave him detailed guidance for several days.
As soon as the instruction ended, Jag couldn't wait to bid farewell to Lord Gongyang, preparing to use his merit points to exchange for the right to use time acceleration.
"Qiao Keqing!"
"Qiao Keqing!"
Gongyang Yu and other powerful celestial beings have returned to the city lord's mansion, and news of what happened at Luoxia Mountain has spread throughout Gongyang City, as has Jiege's reputation.
Along the way, whether they were guards or retainers, everyone greeted Jag warmly when they saw him.
Jag nodded in return.
After the battle at Luoxia Mountain, Jiege's status in the City Lord's Mansion rose sharply. Even though his strength was only that of a mid-level Celestial God, even the upper-level Celestial Gods in the City Lord's Mansion treated him with great respect.
"Qiao Keqing, you've arrived?"
Gongyang Yu stood at the entrance of the mission hall, waiting for Jiege.
She wasn't wearing the Ram Legion's armor today, but instead had changed into casual clothes—a simple, loose white robe that couldn't hide her stunning figure. A gentle breeze blew, causing the robe to flutter and cling to her body, outlining her perfect curves.
"What are you doing here, Miss Yu?" Jag asked in surprise.
Gongyang Yu smiled and said, "My father told me that you wanted to cultivate in a spatial magic treasure, so he specially asked me to take you there."
Jag said, "Why bother Miss Yu with such a thing?"
"Understander Qiao, you may not know this, but this spatial magic treasure is not something ordinary people can enter. Let's talk as we walk," Gongyang Yu said.
"Okay." Jag didn't ask any more questions.
Gongyang Yu led Jiege towards the inner courtyard of the city lord's mansion.
"Qiao Keqing should know that to enter Father's spatial magic treasure for cultivation, one must at least be a Senior Keqing."
Jag nodded: "Yes, and a thousand merit points can only be exchanged for one year of training."
Gongyang Yu said, "That's exactly how it's recorded in the Mission Hall."
Jag was taken aback, realizing the deeper meaning in Gongyang Yu's words: "Is that not actually the case?"
"Not entirely," Gongyang Yu said with a faint smile. "Actually, there are three layers of space inside Father's spatial magic treasure. The time flow rate in the first layer is ten times that of the outside world. What a senior guest can obtain by spending a thousand merit points is the qualification to cultivate in the first layer."
"What about the second floor?"
"The time flow rate on the second level is a hundred times that of the outside world. This level is only open to internal retainers, and it also costs a thousand merit points to cultivate there for a year. As for the third level, the time flow rate there is a thousand times that of the outside world. To enter there, your status as a retainer and merit points are useless. Only children or descendants recognized by the father or elite disciples can enter."
Gongyang Yu looked at Jiege: "Qiao Keqing, after Father heard that you wanted to use time acceleration to cultivate, he asked me to take you into the third level."
"this……"
Jeremiah was both surprised and delighted. He knew that whether it was guiding him in his cultivation before or allowing him to enter the third level of the spatial magic treasure now, it was all Gongyang Tenglong's way of thanking him for breaking the great formation of Tianhuo City.
But Gongyang Tenglong didn't actually need to do so much.
He was a God-King level expert, and could have easily given Jeger 10,000 merit points and a favor according to the pre-announced reward for the emergency mission, and Jeger wouldn't have said anything.
Now that Gongyang Tenglong has provided so much extra help, Jag is extremely grateful.
Jeger didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the favor readily, saying, "Please thank the city lord on my behalf, Miss Yu."
Gongyang Yu said, "You're too kind, Guest Minister Qiao."
The two passed through the pavilions and towers of the city lord's mansion and arrived in front of a glazed tower that was more than ten meters high.
"Qiao Keqing, we've arrived. This is Father's spatial magic treasure, a second-rate Primordial Spiritual Treasure called 'Gongyang Realm'." Gongyang Yu pointed to the pagoda in front of him.
Jag looked ahead, where the pagoda's body was crystal clear and shimmered in the sunlight.
A tower that is only a dozen meters tall is not considered tall in the realm of gods, but this glazed tower, standing there, gives people a sense of mystery and unpredictability.
"Qiao Keqing, do not resist. I will take you inside now," Gongyang Yu said.
After saying that, Jag felt his body being drawn by a force. He let the force pull him along, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in a beautiful world with clear waters and lush mountains.
The murmuring river flows into the distance, and the distant mountains appear like dark eyebrows.
A wooden bridge spans the stream, and on the other side of the bridge stand rows of exquisite wooden houses.
"Guest Qiao, this is the third layer of the Gongyang Realm. The flow of time here is a thousand times faster than outside. A thousand years here is only one year outside," Gongyang Yu explained to Jiege.
"Come on, I'll take you to your place."
The two crossed the wooden bridge and arrived at a row of wooden houses.
"These wooden houses are where my brothers and sisters from the clan and my fellow disciples live. There aren't many people qualified to enter here, and currently there isn't a single one. Guest Master Qiao can choose any wooden house to live in."
"Is no one cultivating here?" Jage asked, somewhat surprised.
Gongyang Yu laughed and said, "My father is very strict. Those who lack talent will not be allowed to enter. Those who can enter the city lord's mansion have basically been cultivating here for many years. There is no point in staying any longer. As for me, I have already reached a bottleneck in my cultivation. Hard work is useless. The only way to break through is through sudden enlightenment."
Jage suddenly realized.
"If you haven't cultivated in a place where time is accelerated, the effect will be quite obvious. You can cultivate here with peace of mind. Father has instructed that you don't need to spend merit points."
Thank you.
"Alright, I should be going now. If you want to leave, just call my name. My father has entrusted me with the management of this 'Gongyang Realm,' and I can sense what is happening inside," Gongyang Yu said.
Although the Gongyang Realm is Gongyang Tenglong's Primordial Spiritual Treasure, it can also be used by others. For example, Jiang Lan of the Linmeng Universe gave the "Jiang Lan Realm" to Qin Yu.
Gongyang Yu was Gongyang Tenglong's most outstanding child and had long been groomed as his successor.
"Understood. Oh, by the way, Miss Yu," Jagger remembered something, "I wonder if Miss Yu could help me exchange some array scrolls with my merit points?"
"Formation scrolls? Does Guest Elder Qiao wish to study formations? I wonder which kind of formation scroll Guest Elder would like to exchange for?"
Gongyang Yu had no doubts. In everyone's eyes, Jiege was a master of formations because he could break the formation of Tianhuo City.
It's perfectly normal for experts in formations to exchange for scrolls of formation techniques to study them.
Each array scroll records several array formations, and the general way to learn array formations is by studying array scrolls.
Qin Yu of Linmeng Universe was able to become a master of formations because of the numerous formation scrolls left behind by the craftsman god Che Houyuan.
Jag didn't explain that he exchanged the array scroll not for his own research, but for Breler.
In the Panlong Universe, after Breler helped Jeg break the formation of Tianhuo City, Jeg also fulfilled his promise and took him in as the chief god's messenger.
However, Breler, seeing an opportunity, couldn't resist making a request to Jag: "God, I wonder which plane the God projected? There's such a magic circle; I'd like to study it."
After considering it, Jaeger decided to help Breler find some divine formations.
In the realm of gods, formations are extremely important. Let Brele learn more about the formations of the realm of gods, as they may come in handy in the future.
Jag took out the jade slip given to him by Zhao Yicheng, which contained a list of treasures that could be exchanged for merit points.
Jag now has 10,000 merit points. He spent 1,000 merit points to select some array scrolls and told Gongyang Yu their specific names.
"Alright, Mr. Qiao, please wait here for a moment. I'll go and bring you these array scrolls."
Gongyang Yu's figure flashed and disappeared into the Gongyang Realm.
Jag found a wooden hut to live in and prepared to cultivate.
He had just copied Gongyang Tenglong's insights into the laws of space and time, and needed time to cultivate and digest them to transform them into his own strength.
However, he didn't know if the time acceleration in the Ram Realm would affect him.
If his stay in the divine realm also accelerates upon entering the Ram Realm, then the Ram Realm will be of little use to him.
"A main god avatar can allow me to stay in the God Realm for a thousand years. Currently, this main god avatar still has nearly a thousand years left. There's no rush. Even if time acceleration is useless to me, I'll wait until this thousand years are over before returning to the Panlong Universe."
If time acceleration were not available, he would have no choice but to return to the Panlong Universe to cultivate, and only after he had fully comprehended the copied insights would he be able to return to the God Realm.
Not long after, Gongyang Yu returned, bringing back many array scrolls.
"Thank you, Miss Yu."
After accepting the gift, Gongyang Yu bid farewell to Jiege and left the Gongyang Realm.
Jage also officially entered a state of cultivation.
Time flies, and soon, a thousand days have passed since Jag entered the Ram Realm.
Jage himself cultivates in the Ram Realm, while his other avatars reside in the Panlong Universe.
Therefore, he can intuitively feel the difference in the flow of time on both sides.
At this time, only one day had passed outside the Gongyang territory.
To his surprise, Jag also discovered that the roulette wheel deep within his soul showed that only one day had passed since he last stayed in the realm of gods.
This means that the time he spends in the divine realm is linked to the flow of time in the outside world, but is unrelated to the flow of time in the Ram Realm.
"good!"
Jag was overjoyed, as this would allow him to save a lot of time by utilizing the Ram Realm.
He can currently stay in the God Realm for four thousand years. If he spends all of that time in the Gongyang Realm, that would be four million years. It seems like a lot, but it would be far from enough for cultivation.
"It took me a million years to break through from a lower-level god to a middle-level god last time. Now, if I want to break through from a middle-level god to an upper-level god, it will only take even longer, not to mention breaking through from an upper-level god to a god-king."
Jaeger estimated that four million years would not be enough for him to fully comprehend the spatial and temporal laws of the Ram Soaring Dragon.
"First, use the enlightenment attempts to complete this thousand years of cultivation. If that doesn't work, return to the Panlong Universe. After you have comprehended all the copied insights, then return to the God Realm."
Jag made a decision quickly.
Now that he has entered the Ram Realm, he should make good use of this opportunity to cultivate. He currently has 32 chances for enlightenment, so using a few more is nothing.
Immediately, Juggeran had a thought and used up one of his enlightenment attempts to immerse himself in cultivation, focusing all his attention on comprehending the laws of space.
Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.
A hundred years in the outside world is already a hundred thousand years in the Gongyang Kingdom.
While cultivating, Jeger's body trembled, his eyes opened, and two beams of light shot out, almost tangible, as his soul began to transform.
"Finally, a breakthrough!"
After cultivating for 100,000 years in a state of enlightenment, he finally broke through the bottleneck and became a high-level celestial god.
"To have reached the level of a high-ranking deity by comprehending only one-eighth of the complete laws of space is a huge difference between a high-ranking deity and a god-king, even greater than the difference between a high-ranking deity and an ordinary god-man." Jeg sighed as he sensed the laws of space on the roulette wheel.
Only by comprehending the complete laws of space can one become a God-King.
Gongyang Tenglong was a powerful god-king, and the spatial laws that Jiege copied from him were naturally complete.
Currently, the spatial laws that Jage has comprehended are only one-eighth of the complete spatial laws.
"Physical body enhancement use 2 time, can be used."
With Jage's breakthrough, he can continue to use the physical enhancement count.
"Physical body enhancement use 1 time, can be used."
"Physical enhancement attempts: 0 times".
With no limit on the remaining two physical enhancement attempts, Jeger used them in succession, his body crackling as he climbed two levels, reaching a completely new level.
"My body was already comparable to a top-grade celestial artifact before, equivalent to a third-rate primordial treasure. Now that I've broken through twice more, could it be that I've reached the level of a first-rate primordial treasure?" Jage was uncertain.
He had never seen a top-tier Primordial Treasure, so naturally he had no way to compare it.
In the Linmeng Universe, there are only about ten first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasures, and most God Kings cannot obtain them.
The Hongmeng Universe has existed for a much longer time than the Linmeng Universe, and has produced many weapon-refining geniuses above the Grandmaster level. To become a Grandmaster, one must at least refine a first-class Hongmeng spiritual treasure. Over a thousand epochs, the Hongmeng Universe still has some first-class Hongmeng spiritual treasures, but they are still extremely precious and not something that can be seen casually.
However, back at Luoxia Mountain, Jeger had seen the weapon in Gongyang Yu's hand, and he felt that his current body was even stronger than Gongyang Yu's blue spear.
However, he didn't know what level of Primordial Treasure Gongyang Yu's spear was; it might be second-rate or first-rate.
"If I can reach the level of a first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasure with just my physical body, then even a God-King's material attack probably won't be able to hurt me." Jage couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Of course, the God-King has many methods, including soul attacks and spatial laws, and is not limited to simple material attacks.
However, if one's body is strong enough to reach the level of a first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasure, one can also gain a considerable advantage.
"At least below the level of a God-King, I have nothing to fear from any opponent. Even if I can't win, I will never lose."
Jag's soul realm has now reached the level of an upper-level celestial god. In addition, with the perfection of multiple laws and rules, his moves are invincible and his body is extremely powerful. He has no weaknesses. Even a powerhouse like Gongyang Yu, who stands at the peak of the upper-level celestial god realm, would find it very difficult to kill him.
